[0695] The past is vaguely in the wind and snow
Although I have never heard of the complaints in my heart, at least on the surface, the village chief still maintained a considerable degree of respect - after all, even though there were only four people left in the tribe, Zhan Mo is still Zhan Mother!
Most of the trunks are farmers and beneficiaries. Even in the war, they rarely participate directly in battles. Although the number of men, women, young and old in this village has exceeded one hundred, in front of a war mother, this person is just like that.
In order to prevent angering this "dead-lasting war mother", the village chief hid all his little thoughts in his heart.
I have to say that he made a wise decision.
Yasuo and others didn't clearly notice his previous thoughts. In Yasuo's eyes, this guy seemed to be just a flattering furnace.
If Yasuo knew his real purpose, I am afraid that this village would be promoted directly!
In short, with the identity of "Fight Mother", Riven completed her first barter at Freljord - exchanging the remaining half of the deer for some fuel.
For Yasuo and the four people, the food can be obtained locally and the tools are prepared very well. The only thing that may be problematic is the fuel used for cooking and heating.
It is not easy to find a forest on the vast ice field, especially after heavy snow. Even if it is a forest, it looks similar to a hill from a distance...
In addition, they were going to save people on this trip, so they needed to move forward at full speed, and it was even more impossible to stop and search for the forest slowly. Therefore, among many materials, the importance of fuel is unquestionable.
Now that you have the opportunity to exchange food for fuel, it’s a huge profit!
On the other hand, villagers are also happy to accept this kind of transaction - for furnace owners who are familiar with the local environment, fuel can be cut down and collected after the wind and snow stops, but food is really limited in winter.
From this perspective, this time bartering is a win-win situation!
If anyone has to say that he lost...then it's probably the steel bristle?
After all, because of the addition of a lot of fuel, the weight of the entire sled has been greatly sank.
………………………………………
I didn't talk much. After the transaction was completed, the group quickly set off and continued to go west.
"How do you feel?" Back on the sled, Yasuo asked Riven's feelings, "This kind of primitive, bartering transaction?"
"In a sense, this situation is more in line with my consistent understanding of Frelljord." To Yasuo's expectations, Riven gave a very interesting answer after a little thought, "After all, according to Noxus' usual rhetoric, Frelljord is 'barbaric and primitive'."
"It sounds interesting." Yasuo raised his eyebrows. "As far as I know, Noxus people always like to say that others are soft, weak, and corrupt, but they didn't expect that in the eyes of Noxus, Frelljord's label would be savage?"
"Because in the Northern War, Frellzowd attacks have always been." Riven was a little helpless when talking about this topic. "Even the emperors and commanders who were most eager for land, they never considered expanding their territory northward... The Frellzowd icefield was too barren."
"It is precisely because of this barrenness that the Frellsord people have developed this kind of tough character." Leaning backward, Yasuo leaned against the huge iron-wood box and looked at the gray sky unconsciously. "Sometimes it is really hard to understand these Frellsord people. They can only survive on this ice field, but they always despise the comfortable life after going south..."
"A comfortable life after going south?" Riven nodded with emotion, but Arrelia was a little curious, "The Frelljords once moved south and moved south?"
"To be precise, the Noxus people nowadays - or, now, the Noxus ancestors, the Noxus people, should have a considerable number of Frelljords who left Frelljords." Yasuo recalled the story Nunu told him before, "It is possible that even a considerable number of people in Demacia today are from Frelljords."
Arrilia has been to Demacia. She is very clear about the living standards of Demacia people. Although the nobles of Demacia almost monopolize the power of the entire country in a sense, even if they can only be a civilian in Demacia for life, their life should be far better than enduring hunger and cold on this vast ice field?
"In Freljord's traditional civilization, the ice and snow in winter are the test of Enivia, in order to train stronger warriors." Yasuo continued to tell the story he had heard before, "The stronger the person, the more he can tolerate this terrible cold. On the contrary, those who pursue a better and happier life naturally have to be contempt, and even in Freljord's swearing, most of them are related to [South]."
“…”
After hearing what Yasuo said, the three girls were a little surprised. They never expected that Freljord's civilization had such a core.
"But interestingly, I have heard another completely different statement in the Nothay people." Yasuo continued to talk, "According to the records of these Freljord epic singers, it seems that those who left the Freljord represent the last hope of this land. They are not betrayers, but the spark that will sow into the future."
"Tinder?"
"Yes, fire." Yasuo nodded, "Whether you leave or stay, you must stick to your responsibilities and destiny. Leaving your hometown is looking for a better life and opening up an unknown world."
After thinking about it, Yasuo simply sang this ancient "Elegy of the One" in the previous tune of Nunu.
"They gave up on the test of Enivia,"
"The last hope chases the possible spring."
"They turned and said goodbye to their ancestors,"
"Remembering the ancient oath I made silently."
"Real to the cry that still echoes,"
"The elderly and young people left the vast snowfield."
"The wind and snow cut off the last attachment,"
"Lizhe's figure sank into the iron thorn mountains."
“…”
“…”
The desolate and ancient Frelljode ballad is simple, with straightforward content and clear rhymes. Although Yasuo is not proficient in singing, he still clearly expresses the feeling of reluctance, contempt and blessings for the people who leave this ballad.
