Chapter 1321 Murdoch
"These people are from Dongshengzhou? From the outside, they look very similar to us Han people."
These fishing boats excited the crew members on the fleet and ran to the deck to point fingers at the fishing boats in the distance.
In the eyes of Zheng Ping and others, the black hair of these Dongshengzhou people, in the eyes of Zheng Ping and others, means that the ancestors of Dongshengzhou must have a close connection with China.
But from the outside, the people of Dongshengzhou have obvious similarities with the Chinese.
It was probably the first time that the people of Dongshengzhou on the fishing boat saw so many big boats. They were shocked and rowed on the shore. Zheng Ping directed the fleet to follow, hoping to find the port city of Dongshengzhou.
As a result, what disappointed Zheng Ping was that he did not see any big city, but only saw a small fishing village.
However, it was the first gathering place in Dongshengzhou that he discovered. Zheng Ping waved his hand and ordered him to capture it.
It is more of an occupation than a conquest.
Because there was no attack, the villagers of the small fishing village in Dongshengzhou saw huge sea boats approaching them, and several elders stood at the port with food and animal skins, while the men stood behind with weapons.
Zheng Ping was already very familiar with this attitude, so he immediately asked Gan Shi to stay on the boat just in case, so he took some people to dock with the boat, and then took out gifts to exchange with these people in Dongshengzhou.
Although neither party knew what the other party was saying, the gift held in both hands made both parties understand the other party's kindness.
Zheng Ping looked at the gifts given to him by the people of Dongshengzhou, and found that he knew many other things except the animal skin.
Is this thick, hard and tree root-like thing a gift?
Is this for eating or playing with it?
....
Let the Taoist priest wait, maybe he will like it.
The village chief of Dongshengzhou opposite was also confused.
What animal's fur is slippery to the touch?
There is also this utensil that can make people clear. What is it made of?
Although both sides did not know what the other party gave, Zheng Ping still hugged the village chief with a stiff face.
Then, the village chief of Dongshengzhou shouted to Ulala behind him, and the people of Dongshengzhou immediately cheered, and then enthusiastically guided the fleet to dock and camp.
When the village chief of Dongshengzhou took a sip of the drink handed by Zheng Ping, the expression on his face became even more exciting.
The thing about wine is indeed a powerful tool for attracting relationships that are common all over the world.
Soon, Zheng Ping learned the name of the village chief, this tribe or this nation - Murdoch.
Murdoch is actually the name of this tribe, and the village chief's name is named Murdoch according to the tribe.
The people of Dongshengzhou actually have three names, one is a nickname, just like the Han people Aman and A Dou, and the other is a formal name, which was obtained after winning the first battle. When the people of Dongshengzhou won the first battle, the elders of the tribe would gather together and name him based on his performance in this battle and the strength of his opponent. This name will accompany him throughout his life.
Finally, there is the name of the chief, which is not available to ordinary people from Dongshengzhou, only the leader of the tribe. It is a name passed down from generation to generation, just like a title.
This kind of chief's name, which was actually a widespread practice of primitive tribes, was also the same in ancient China's ancestors. For example, Shennong was not alone, but a synonym for the leader of the Shennong tribe. In "Yi Zhou Shu·Shang Mai", there is a record of Shennong's ten generations of wangyu.
"These seamen have given us so many precious things, how should we repay them?" Murdoch looked at the gifts placed aside, thinking about the things he gave to these seamen, and suddenly felt a little blushed.
As a chief, he felt obliged to teach his tribe how to treat his friends.
Therefore, Murdoch immediately pulled Zheng Ping to his house and prepared to give his best things to Zheng Ping.
Although Zheng Ping didn't know what Murdoch was going to do, he could see that he had no malice, so he asked Jiang Qin to follow him to Murdoch's house in the village.
While walking, Zheng Ping observed the survival of the village.
He found that most of the houses in this village were tent-style and there were few wooden houses. I don’t know if it was because the wood was precious or the villagers didn’t like wooden houses.
But when Murdoch took him into a wooden house, he was sure that the people here definitely did not like wooden houses, but that they could not build large quantities of wooden houses for other reasons.
In the wooden house, a woman hid inside. Murdoch scolded her a few words, and then the woman walked into the back house and moved out a piece of animal skin and spread it on the ground.
Murdoch pulled Zheng Ping and Jiang Qin to the animal skin, and then sat on the cold ground by himself.
It can be seen that even as the patriarch of the village, there are not many animal skins.
Then the woman took out another stick-like thing, and Murdoch took some hay from a small animal skin bag, stuffed it on one side of the stick, then lit it, took a sip, spit out the grayish-white smoke, revealing a comfortable expression.
Then, Murdoch handed the wooden stick to Zheng Ping.
It was obvious that Murdoch was signaling Zheng Ping to take a sip.
Zheng Ping glanced at Jiang Qin who was holding his smile, and tried to take a sip with a twitching corner of his mouth.
Cough cough cough cough cough!
What a hell thing!
It choked me to death!!
How do people in Dongshengzhou like this?
Seeing Zheng Ping coughing repeatedly, Murdoch suddenly burst into laughter, then took the stick and took another sip, opened his mouth to show how to spit out cigarettes, and then handed the stick to Zheng Ping, signaling Zheng Ping to take a few more sips, and made a comfortable expression, indicating that as long as you smoke a few more times, this thing will be very pleasant.
Zheng Ping wanted to leave the wooden stick, but thought that the immortal grain had not been found yet, so they had to rely on these local natives to find the immortal grain.
Thinking of this, Zheng Ping took a few more sips.
Not to mention, Zheng Ping was coughing violently at the beginning, but slowly, Zheng Ping knew how to smoke this cigarette.
Alas, don't say it.
It's interesting.
This feels...well?
It's dizzy and relaxing!
Zheng Ping was actually under great pressure along the way. These tobaccos instantly released a lot of pressure from Zheng Ping, and he immediately realized the value of this thing.
Zheng Ping thought about it, pulled out the dagger with him, turned the blade, handed the knife handle to Murdoch, and then pointed to the wooden stick.
Murdoch showed a puzzled expression.
This is a sharp blade created by a famous artist!
You don't know the goods!
Zheng Ping looked around, picked up a wooden stick, and then waved the knife.
The wooden stick instantly turned into two halves.
Murdoch's eyes lit up, and he immediately took it after Zheng Ping handed it to him again.
Chapter completed!
