Seeing the meat on the stone pier, Lao Ao and the two brothers froze on the spot. Lao Ao did not expect that the three ronin were holding meat in their arms. He just thought it was some wild fruits collected by the three ronin.
He only glanced at it. With many years of weighing experience, he found that the weight of the meat was about 7-8 times that of the smallest stone.
Lao Ao did not hide his surprise and astonishment at all. He exclaimed: "So much meat?"
Lao Ao's eyes glanced at the meat placed on the stone pier. The meat came from different beasts, and was not the meat of a single beast.
"Hey, there's actually a lot of meat left, but we've already eaten that." Seeing Lao Ao's stunned expression, Lie raised his chin and pointed at his bulging belly.
The two brothers who had just mocked Lin Xiao and the others now had the color of pig liver. One of them sneered: "Couldn't you have stolen this meat from the Bahrain tribe?"
As soon as these words came out, Old Ao immediately looked at Lin Xiao and the others. He felt a little strange just now. These meats clearly came from different locations of different beasts. If these meats came from the same beast, he could still think that it was the luck of these three ronin. Okay, but the meat comes from at least three different beasts, and these three beasts are indeed the beasts that their tribe has hunted recently.
"You, you're talking nonsense! We didn't steal anything from the Bahrain tribe!" Lie explained anxiously. He was worried that Lao Ao believed what the two ronin brothers said.
"Then how do you explain the meat, which is obviously not from the same animal, or do you want to say that you killed three different beasts?"
Hearing the aggressive questions from the other party, Lei Helie became anxious. Do they want to tell the Bahrain tribe members that the Bahrain children gave them to them? That would expose the straw sandals!
Seeing that the two of them couldn't say anything to refute, Lao Ao half-squinted his eyes with a cold light in his eyes. He was about to shout to call other tribesmen to come over, when suddenly the strange ronin beside him spoke.
"Explain? Why do we need to explain?" Lin Xiao grabbed the little brat Lie and at the same time patted Lei on the shoulder with his other hand.
The two ronin sneered: "No explanation? Do you want to accept the anger of the Bahrain tribe? Do you know how many totem warriors there are in the Bahrain tribe?"
Lin Xiao glanced at him and said, "Oh, you also said that the Bahrain tribe is very powerful. Why do you think we will steal from the Bahrain tribe?"
"You must have stolen it!" The two ronin didn't forget to bite Lin Xiao and the others again.
"Uncle Ao," Lin Xiao imitated Lie and Lei and called Lao Ao, who measured the contribution value, "There are soldiers patrolling the Bahrain tribe every day, right?"
Lao Ao nodded and said very proudly: "Yes, we have six patrol teams, patrolling in shifts."
"That means there is at least one patrol team patrolling the Bahrain tribe at any time?" Lin Xiao asked again.
"Yes." Lao Ao was confused and didn't know why Lin Xiao asked him these questions, but he still answered Lin Xiao's questions.
The two Ronin brothers rolled their eyes: "Why do you ask?"
"What to do?" Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and glanced at the two of them, "You also heard what Uncle Ao said just now. There are people patrolling the Bahrain tribe at any time. If these meats are stolen by us, you are implying that the Bahrain tribe patrols Is the team useless at all?"
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lao Ao looked at the two Ronin brothers with eyes as if they were about to spit out fire, and stared: Is this what you mean?
"Uncle Ao, we didn't say that, it's just..."
The two Ronin brothers wanted to explain, but were interrupted by Lin Xiao: "Just what? The Bahrain tribe is so powerful, how could it be possible for us three Ronin to steal so many things, and you two don't use your brains?"
After saying that, Lin Xiao looked at Lao Ao and asked, "Uncle Ao, tell me, am I right?!"
"Yes!" Lao Ao subconsciously affirmed what Lin Xiao said. If he said it was wrong... wouldn't he be saying that his tribe is not strong?
Lin Xiao: "These meats are really not stolen from us. If you are worried, Uncle Ao, you can ask people in the tribe to ask who has lost their meat!"
Lao Ao waved his hand and said: "No, there is absolutely no way you three little ronin can steal anything from under our noses!"
Although he said this, he still made up his mind to wait for these ronin to leave and ask the patrol team about the situation. This strange ronin is really good at talking. If he believes that these three ronin are stealing things, he will change his direction. They say their tribe is not strong enough.
Now that this strange ronin asked him to ask people in the tribe, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
After Lin Xiao and the others brought the meat, Lao Ao carved 8 scratches on a piece of wood. Lin Xiao counted 13 scratches on the small part that recorded Lei's contribution. He lowered his eyes and looked at Lao Ao. , asked: "Uncle Ao, how much contribution value does Lei still have?"
Lao Ao stared at the board for a while, frowned and said, "Wait a minute!"
As he spoke, he took out something like a cutting board and put it in front of Lin Xiao, and said: "Wuzhu said that as long as the contribution value is as much as the scratches on this piece of wood, he can participate in our tribe's blood and fire memorial ceremony. "
He glanced at the scratches on the wood and said, "Your contribution is not enough!"
Obviously, Lao Ao, who was in charge of weighing the meat, was not good at math. This 'cutting board' was a template given to him by Bahrain Wu Zhu. Lin Xiao briefly glanced at the 'cutting board' and he roughly counted the total number of items on the cutting board. There were forty scratches.
However, Lin Xiao also realized at this time that it was indeed difficult for Ronin to get meat. You must know that Lei Helie had been living near the Bahrain tribe for almost two years and had only five scratches.
There are still 27 tracks left, and they have to keep up their efforts.
At this time, Lao Ao had already weighed the meat brought by the two brothers, and took out the two brothers' wooden boards to carve a scratch for them.
The two prodigal brothers counted against the board, clumsily like elementary school students, counting one scratch after another. After a moment, they smiled and said, "There are only two scratches left!"
The two aggressive Ronin brothers just took a sneak look at the scratches on the piece of wood that belonged to Lei.
"Hahaha, there is still one month left, and you are still so far away. It seems that we will not meet at the blood and fire ceremony this year."
The two Ronin brothers laughed at Lei, so what if they suddenly got a pile of meat? It's not like you can't participate in the blood and fire ceremony.
Seeing the mocking faces of these two people, Lin Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes. They were both ronin, so why should they be ranked higher or lower? I don't know what the hell these two people are proud of.
A month? Lin Xiao also felt that this time was too long. Their business was good and there was no problem in getting Lei the qualification to participate in the Blood and Fire Sacrifice. Lin Xiao was even considering whether to get a qualification for himself.
After the Ronin left, Lao Ao went to the patrol team and asked if anyone in the tribe had their meat stolen. The patrol team member shook his head: "No."
"Are you sure? I suspect there are rogues stealing things from our tribe!" Lao Ao whispered.
The squad leader of the patrol raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you questioning our capabilities?"
Lao Ao hurriedly explained: "No...that's not what I meant!"
"Hmph! What do you mean you don't mean that?"
Lao Ao explained helplessly that he had confirmed several times that no one in the tribe had been stolen. He secretly blacklisted the two Ronin brothers. These two Ronin brothers were talking nonsense about how their tribe could lose things.
At the same time, Lao Ao turned around and listed Lin Xiao and the other three as the ones to focus on in the future. The capable Ronin deserved attention, and even more worthy of his most pleasant attitude.
