"Nothing much. You all seem to have some strength, so you can be our sedan bearers …"
Qin Fang revealed a mischievous smile on his face as he looked at the young patriarch with a playful expression and said.
This mountain road was too difficult to travel. Qin Fang and Song Qingshan were fine with it, but the Wen family of three were tired. It would be a waste not to make use of these people who had delivered themselves to their doorstep.
Some scenic spots, especially those in the mountains, would have manual sedan bearers. The income was not bad, but it was a little tiring.
However, it was different in the mountains here. They were all poor tribes who worshipped strength and courage, but obviously could not compare to those outside the mountains in terms of enjoyment.
Of course, there were sedan bearers as well, but they were extremely rare. Perhaps only the high priest, the chief of the tribe, and the witch doctor had the right to do so.
Coincidentally, Qin Fang had seen people carrying sedan bearers just now, so he thought of this. Naturally, the heavy responsibility of carrying the sedan bearers fell on these people.
"Sedan bearers?"
The young chief was stunned when he heard Qin Fang's words …
He was the young chief of the tribe, a warrior of the tribe, and the future successor of the chief. In the Gelan tribe, he was second only to the chief, and above thousands of people. It was reasonable for others to be his sedan bearers, but to ask him to be someone else's sedan bearer?
"That's impossible!"
The young chief immediately shook his head and rejected Qin Fang's suggestion without any hesitation.
"Nothing is impossible. You'll agree very soon …"
Qin Fang had a faint smile on his face as he spoke calmly, as if this was not a problem for him at all.
"Xiao Qin, why don't … we just forget about it?"
Auntie Song still felt like she was in a dream. She was worried that Qin Fang would be at a disadvantage, but she did not expect Song Qingshan to wipe out the other party and capture them all alive. This crisis was naturally over.
However, she did not expect Qin Fang to be so unreasonable. Although she was unhappy with the young chief's behavior, they were in the mountains, not far from the Gelan tribe. If they angered the people of the Gelan tribe, they would be in trouble.
Thinking that it was better to avoid trouble, Auntie Song immediately persuaded Qin Fang in a low voice.
"Auntie, let me handle this!
Don't worry, it's fine … "
Qin Fang naturally understood what Auntie Song was worried about. However, there was still a long way to go, and this group of people was only the vanguard. Not to mention that they would meet a few more groups of people with similar intentions, the young chief himself was already thinking of bringing more people to snatch the bride. He could not let the tiger go back to the mountain.
He definitely could not kill them. He was not that cruel … He could not let them go either, so he might as well bring them along and let them be the sedan bearers. With someone carrying them, the Wen family of three could relax a little. Especially since Wen Yan could not bear this kind of mountain road, it would be much easier to have someone carry her.
"Are you going to carry her or not?"
Song Qingshan could somewhat understand Qin Fang's thoughts. He walked up to the trembling villagers and asked in a cold voice. His expression did not change much, but his tone was cold.
Song Qingshan's sharp gaze swept across the crowd, causing the villagers to tremble in fear. Their bodies trembled slightly. Song Qingshan was simply too frightening for them.
"Carry!
Carry … "
No one knew who was the first to shout, but the others immediately followed suit.
The mountain was very backward, and the mountain people were simple-minded. In addition, they had inadvertently deified Song Qingshan. It seemed that only the high priests and elders in the tribe had the ability to be invulnerable to swords and spears.
The high priest was the spokesperson of the gods …
Could this person be a messenger sent by the gods?
Yes, he must be!
This person panicked and had many thoughts. Very quickly, he had completely deified Song Qingshan.
Many modern people outside the mountains were atheists, but the villagers were different. They had their own gods. The highest position in the tribe was not the chief, but the high priest who represented the gods.
If the high priest went out, he would definitely be surrounded by people. Many people would fight to carry his sedan …
The person in front of them was the messenger of the gods. Carrying his sedan was a kind of honor, a blessing from the gods. Why would they object?
With this thought, the villagers immediately expressed their opinions. Some even pulled the young chief to the side and spoke with a very strong attitude. Even though Qin Fang and the rest did not understand what they were saying.
"Okay, I'll carry …"
After a while, the young chief walked over with a pale face. He first bowed respectfully to Song Qingshan, then looked at Qin Fang and said with gritted teeth.
Qin Fang was also quite speechless at this completely different treatment.
"Seems like there are advantages and disadvantages to letting you do the work …"
Qin Fang jokingly muttered to Song Qingshan.
Song Qingshan smiled indifferently. He did not expect the villagers' imagination to be so strong. He had only practiced the Thirteen Guardians Cross Training Golden Bell Shield, but they had imagined him to be the messenger of the gods …
No matter what, this problem was eliminated.
There was naturally no ready-made sedan. Although there was nothing else in the mountains, there was an abundance of trees. Every villager carried a miaodao, and it was quite sharp. A few of them worked together to cut some wooden sticks and quickly tied them up. A simple sedan was made one after another.
"Uncle, auntie, you should sit up too …"
Wen Yan's body was weak and could not walk on the mountain. Naturally, this sedan was for her. In addition, two sedan chairs were made. Qin Fang let the Wen couple sit on them.
As for himself and Song Qingshan, they were prepared to continue walking on the ground. Firstly, it was convenient to take care of the three people. Secondly, it was to prevent the villagers from playing tricks — although the possibility of that was very low.
The Wen couple could not dissuade Qin Fang. At least they sat on the sedan chair nervously. With the villagers carrying them, the group continued on their journey and headed deeper into the mountains.
Mountain people were different from mountain people. These people had to walk on this kind of rugged mountain road every day. Even if the shoes on their feet were very simple, they were still as fast as flying. They were not any slower than Qin Fang and Song Qingshan, who were martial artists.
In addition to a dozen villagers, four people were enough for one sedan chair. There were a few who could take turns. This way, not only did their speed not slow down, but it also increased.
However, Qin Fang and the rest were blocked by the young chief for a while and wasted a lot of time. This increased speed only offset each other.
When the sun gradually set, they had no choice but to stop and find a tribe nearby to stay for the night. They could only continue their journey the next day.
The conditions in the mountains were poor. There was no electricity. As soon as the sun set, the whole mountain fell into darkness.
There was no light, and the mountain was full of poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts. It was impossible to travel at night. They could only choose to stay for the night.
"Xiao Qin, let's stay here for the night …"
This was what Auntie Song and the rest had said in advance. Qin Fang was not surprised. "This tribe is called the Luosang tribe. I have a friend from this tribe. We can stay at his house for the night!
But … "
Actually, Auntie Song and the rest had already made arrangements for them to stay. The five of them could definitely stay, but the problem was that there were sixteen sedan bearers — this was difficult to handle!
"Don't worry about us. We won't leave …"
Along the way, Qin Fang had already learned the name of the young chief. He was called Zhuo Da. Although the young chief of the Gelan tribe was still hostile to Qin Fang, he was very respectful to Song Qingshan.
Hearing Auntie Song's words, he immediately agreed.
The others also nodded in agreement. To them, Song Qingshan was the messenger of the gods. It was their honor to be able to do something for the messenger. This was something that they could brag about for the rest of their lives. How could they give up such a good opportunity and let others take advantage of it?
"Auntie, let's not bother about them. We'll rest …"
When they reached the Luosang tribe, they were not too far away from their destination. It was only a few miles of mountain road. If it were not for the fact that they could not walk in the mountains at night, they would be able to reach their destination in a few hours.
Therefore, it was not important whether Zhuo Da and the rest of the sedan bearers stayed or left … Qin Fang naturally did not care too much.
"Alright then …"
Auntie Song and the rest did not have much to say. These people had caused them trouble. Punishing them to carry the sedan bearers was already a form of punishment. Although they did not seem unwilling at all, they seemed to be willing to endure it.
These mountain people stopped at the Luosang tribe to rest. More than ten of them gathered together and made a fire. Some of them even went to visit their friends in the tribe to get some food.
The people in the mountains were very simple and warm. As long as the tribes were not hostile to each other, they would generally not be stingy. Perhaps their conditions were not very good, but when there were guests, they would still not hesitate to take out the best food and offer it to the guests.
Perhaps this was one of the benefits of being simple and honest. At least, it was much better than the modern people outside the mountains. The people outside the mountains did not even dare to do good deeds, not to mention the heartless things that profiteers did in order to make money.
It was also because of the warmth of the mountain people that when Qin Fang and the rest found the home of Auntie Song's friend, Zhuo Da and the rest were already eating, drinking, and dancing …
It was as if the tribe was celebrating a festival. Soon, it was jubilant and lively. Cheerful songs and laughter immediately rang through the dark forest at night.
