Chapter 299 Local people who don’t have much sense of crisis
The Wata villagers in the village were very curious about the outsider in the villagers' talk. However, since they had lived in a relatively leisurely and peaceful environment for a long time, and had almost no fights with others, most of the villagers were very low-vigilance and never thought about it. These outsiders may come with bad intentions and harm them.
Only some villagers remained vigilant, reminding everyone that these outsiders were different from them and might be bad-intentioned, and called on everyone to take up arms in case of unexpected events.
After being reminded by these villagers, although the villagers took up arms, they still didn't pay much attention, and even felt that the vigilant villagers were making a fuss.
When the villagers of Wata Village came to the outside of the village with their various "weapons", they soon saw the strange people mentioned by the reporting villagers. They were indeed very strange!
Although they were separated by a distance, they could see that these people were taller and stronger than them, and their skin seemed to be whiter. Looking at themselves, they were short, thin, and a little dark.
The clothes of these people are also strange, especially the ones at the head. The clothes are even more weird. It is difficult to find words to describe them for a while. The clothes look grand and grand. Compared with these people, their clothes are... Shabby and dilapidated.
Each of these people is carrying a strange object on their head. I don’t know what it is used for. Why are they carrying that thing on their head? Moreover, wouldn’t it make it easier for them to work if they were dressed like this?
In fact, it was quite hot, but in order to show the formality of meeting these local people, the mission specially asked the leaders to wear Da Qin robes to show them Da Qin's clothes.
This is also the reason why the villagers of Wata Village couldn't describe it for a while. The clothes they wore were so different from those worn by these people. They had never seen anything like this before, so they didn't know how to describe it.
Chinese clothing is indeed very strange and strange to foreigners. Not to mention all the subtle details, the wide sleeves and hem of the robe are enough to surprise foreigners.
After that, there should be several guards and attendants. They are wearing armors. This can be seen, but these armors are different from what they know. The armors reflect the cold light in the sun. At a glance, they can tell that they are better than those of the leader. Better and stronger.
They are really a group of strange outsiders. Where do they come from, where do they go, and what do they want to do when they come to their village?
Just when the villagers of Wata Village were puzzled, they saw that these strange outsiders did not come completely close. Instead, they stopped after walking to a certain distance, and the leading few made a weird movement towards them. Then the person at the front shouted something to them.
Villagers of Wata Village, you look at me and I look at you. It is not difficult to guess the meaning of these people’s actions. They should be paying them a special salute. Unfortunately, they cannot understand what they say, but they can see these things. Strange outsiders don't mean any harm.
What the leader said was: Gan Yu, the envoy of the Qin Dynasty, has met all the foreigners!
As if knowing that they didn't understand, the leader finished the action and said something to the people behind him. Then they saw someone take out a beautiful wooden box, open it, and take out something from it. Put the box on the ground in front of you.
At this time, the leader made another movement with his right hand, as if asking them to look at the thing placed on the wooden box, and the others even stepped back, deliberately leaving a safe distance so that they could get closer and take a look.
Although there is a language barrier, the meaning of the movements can still be understood. When two nations or countries with language barriers communicate for the first time, they will often express their meanings through movements.
The villagers of Wata Village looked at the things on the wooden box, and their attention was immediately attracted: the things were pure and transparent as a whole, without any flaws, shining brightly under the sun, without any stain or dust.
Although the villagers in Wata Village have little knowledge, they can still tell that this object is definitely a rare treasure and extremely precious.
These outsiders put such precious things there and deliberately retreated to a distance, obviously intending to let them see it and convey their friendly intentions. Maybe this thing was given to them by these weird outsiders?
The more I thought about it, the more likely I felt that this was a possibility. The villagers in Wata Village became excited, and their eyes on Gan Yu's thirty people became friendly and friendly. These outsiders were so generous. They gave them such treasures as soon as they came. It shows how friendly he is!
At the same time, they were also surprised that these outsiders were so rich that they could easily bring out such treasures.
Seeing their eyes looking over, the leader of the foreigners smiled and made what seemed to be a "please!" gesture.
Led by a villager who looked like a village chief, more than a dozen villagers from Wata Village bravely walked to the treasure and finally saw its appearance clearly.
It is indeed as seen from a distance. The whole thing is completely pure and flawless, without a trace of dust or stain. You can't tell what kind of material it is made of, and you can't tell any craftsmanship. It looks like it was made in heaven.
The "Village Chief" respectfully and carefully held up this treasure and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes. The sunlight filtered through the object and formed a magnificent color in his eyes, which shocked the "Village Chief" even more.
The villagers of Wata Village on the side were also carefully looking at the treasure held up by the "village chief", and they were all amazed. How could there be such a pure treasure in the world? This should be something that only gods can enjoy, right?
Seeing the sudden look of shock on the face of the "Village Chief", a villager quickly asked. More than a dozen villagers immediately heard about the "Village Chief's" discovery and were even more surprised. Not only was this thing pure and flawless, it also had a rainbow-like color. ?
The appearance of this treasure was something they had never seen before. It could be seen that it was a vessel to hold something, probably a liquid such as water, but how could it have such a shape?
This is actually a wine prince, which was deliberately made by Da Qin. According to Li Nian's instructions, Da Qin's characters and patterns were intentionally engraved on it. The main purpose was to surprise foreigners.
Although ordinary goblets can also shock these foreigners, the shape of the wine cup is more amazing, and the wine cup can also represent the culture of the Qin Dynasty.
Just when most of the villagers were amazed at this pure treasure, an exclamation came out. All the villagers looked at the source of the exclamation, and saw one villager pointing to the wooden box on the ground.
Only then did everyone see that the wooden box was extraordinary. Not to mention its material, the fine workmanship alone was far superior to any wooden objects they had ever seen. It had extremely exquisite patterns. Even though it was meant to contain pure treasures, box, but it is also a treasure in itself.
The "village chief" was holding a pure treasure in his hand. He couldn't hold the wooden box anymore, so he asked a villager next to him to pick up the box and look at it carefully. Except for the engraved patterns, all sides of the box were quite smooth and smooth to the touch. It feels great when applied.
The box is dark brown as a whole, with a wooden antique beauty. The front is where it is opened. There is a clasp made of metal. On the front, there is a beautiful picture engraved on it, which is a landscape under the sun. This way of characterization is also something they have never seen before.
The wooden box was also covered with polished copper sheets. The villagers holding the box opened the box and found a "cloth" they had never seen before.
The villagers did not dare to touch the "cloth" for fear that their hands would stain the "cloth". They could see that the "cloth" was also a treasure. After carefully inspecting the wooden box, the "village chief" solemnly put the pure treasure back into the wooden box, and then looked at the dozens of outsiders in the distance.
When Gan Yu and others saw this man who looked like a local leader saying something to the others, they led four locals and walked towards them. It seemed that they had received the goodwill conveyed by them. To show their friendship, the five people Unarmed.
The five people walked not far away, and the local leader put his right hand on his chest, bowed and saluted Gan Yu and others, and then said something in an unknown language to Gan Yu and others.
Gan Yu looked at the Baiyue people behind him, but the Baiyue people shook their heads. They couldn't understand what was said.
Although he didn't understand the language, he could still express his feelings through body language. After thinking about it, the local leader first pointed to the village and then made the same action that Gan Yu had just done - please!
Seeing the smile and enthusiasm on this man's face, Gan Yu and others were surprised. Is this man inviting them to the village? Aren't you afraid that they are coming with bad intentions and will try to harm them?
Are they bold and fearless, or do they have something to rely on, or are they just so hospitable that they never thought that they might do evil?
According to Gan Yu's observation, although there are hundreds of people in this village, they are all small and small, and the weapons they hold are also quite special. There are few metal ones and most of them are wooden. In fact, they cannot be called weapons. , probably taking out the farm tools for working.
Moreover, these people looked untrained and lazy at first sight. They, number 30, could completely wipe out the village.
What's even more outrageous is that they are outsiders, but these people don't seem to have a strong sense of crisis. Not to mention the "village chief" who seems to be inviting them to visit the village, the villagers who are watching from a distance stretch their necks one by one. Look here boldly and curiously.
If it happened in Da Qin, if there were outsiders, they would definitely be alert and not be so leisurely and lazy. Maybe Qi people would be, after all, Qi people have been at ease for a long time.
Thinking of Qi people, Gan Yu somewhat understood what was going on in this village. It was probably because the people in this village had been in a comfortable environment for a long time, and their vigor and alertness had been worn away.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
They don't quite understand why they need to be on guard against outsiders, and they don't quite understand that outsiders may cause danger to them. Why are outsiders dangerous, and why should outsiders bring danger to them?
This idea may seem a bit outrageous in China, but it does exist in some magical places, like the non-violent non-cooperation movement of the third brother. A certain Mahatma once advised that "everything is full of vitality and everything is competing" in China. He also did this and came up with an extremely outrageous idea, and then was despised by "full of vitality and all things competing".
"Vigorous and everything is in full swing" I guess what I was thinking at that time was: Could this person be mentally retarded? Is this a solution that anyone can come up with? Although I do some micro-management, I don’t suffer from brain disease!
In fact, only China and certain countries in the entire world have nation-states with normal crisis consciousness and thoughts. Places like Africa and South America are quite strange. This is true even in modern times, let alone the era of the Qin Dynasty.
Looking at the local people not far away, Gan Yu felt a clear primitive beauty. Fortunately, he met the Daqin envoy, and the mission of the envoy this time was to go to Yangzhou, and they had no intention of robbing homes along the way. It would have been a Western colonizer...
Hehe, look what we found. There is a group of unsuspecting natives here. They rush into the village to see if there is any treasure. If there is no treasure, they are treasure. They are all captured and made slaves.
After thinking quickly, Gan Yu accepted the "village chief"'s invitation and followed the "village chief" closer to the village, keeping a distance of course.
When he met the villagers holding the wooden boxes, the "village chief" once again expressed his gratitude to Gan Yu and others. These outsiders were very friendly and actually gave them such treasures. However, these outsiders were a little wary and always spoke with them. They are some distance away.
Walking not far from the village, many eyes were cast on Gan Yu and others. There was almost no fear or fear, only curiosity and excitement. Many villagers were pointing at them and talking. It can be guessed that the words should be "Wow, these people are so tall!" ", "Where did they come from?" and so on.
Some people boldly and enthusiastically shouted something to Gan Yu and others, probably to welcome them. This made Gan Yu more and more sure that the people in this village did not have much sense of crisis, and there was too little sense of distance.
If he wasn't still a little worried about strange outsiders, Gan Yu felt that these local people would rush closer to observe them.
However, the local people did not have a sense of crisis, and Gan Yu and others had to live without it. Outside the village, Gan Yu called to the "village chief" who was leading the way, then pointed to the village, then to himself, and then to Refers to outside the village.
The "village chief" soon understood that the leader of the outsiders was saying: If they don't enter the village, they will stay outside the village.
The "village chief" immediately began to gesture to Gan Yu, and continued to warmly invite Gan Yu and others to visit the village. There was food and drink there, and a place to rest, which was better than outside the village.
But Gan Yu smiled and shook his head and refused. Who knows if there is a trap in the village? What if these local people are actually very vicious and cunning, hospitable and have no sense of crisis, but they are just deliberately showing off to paralyze them?
Mr. Li Nian once said that when you are on an envoy, people are unpredictable, so you have to be on guard. You cannot let down your vigilance at all. Everything must be treated with caution!
Seeing Gan Yu's refusal again, the "village chief" and the villagers looked disappointed, but they did not invite Gan Yu and others into the village again, and agreed that they would camp outside the village.
Then, Gan Yu and others began to find a place to set up a camp outside the village. A group of local people watched them working not far away, watching in wonder as Gan Yu and others came up with all kinds of strange and strange things that they had never seen before. things.
Gradually, these local people became more and more courageous. They were no longer satisfied with watching from a short distance away, and they got closer and closer, from the original hundred steps to fifty steps, then to thirty steps...
Seeing that the local people were getting closer and closer, and they could threaten them with a single charge, a Baiyue hunter was about to scold them. These local people had no sense of distance. If this continued, they would have to run directly to the side?
Gan Yu stopped the Baiyue hunter. He noticed that although the locals were approaching, they were not armed and should not pose much danger to them. If they were scolded, it might affect the friendly atmosphere they had just established with the locals. , which is not conducive to further communication.
