Chapter 1737 Contact

Hou Yida looked everywhere and finally saw smoke, "Determine the direction to move forward." It had been two days since they crossed the border, and they finally found a human habitation.

Of course, even though they were outside the border, the 4G signal on their mobile phones was still full, which also allowed them to contact their friends in a timely manner. Everyone was working tirelessly to support these four pioneer teams.

Zhang Biao was driving. He had learned to drive in the army and his skills were excellent. Even if it was completely deserted, it would not affect his progress. However, the road conditions were really bad. The other three people were bumpy, but now they have found a place.

He did not rush into the village, but stopped at a place with a good view to conduct investigation.

The villages in the telescope are very simple and backward. They are all thatched houses, and some even dig pits directly in the ground, and then build a roof on the pit, and people live underground.

It was obviously meal time. There was smoke rising from several cooking stoves, and a few bare-butt children could be seen running around the village.

There are wooden fences around the village, probably to protect against wild beasts, and they have also encountered wild beasts in the past two days. There are some chickens in the village. Although the chickens are domesticated, they are all free-range.

No soldiers were found. This was obviously a small village.

Everyone discussed whether to contact them. There must not be much oil and water in this village. You can tell by looking at the skinny children that this village must be poor.

"We still need to make contact. Although big cities are rich, they must have guards. The four of us are not enough to fill their teeth. Why not spend some time cultivating local agents and learn the language here." Zhou Youyu felt that it was better to Stop and make contact as well.

Li Chongjiu also nodded: "Let's do it step by step. You won't become fat by eating one bite. We still have to accumulate slowly. There is no way to spend time."

Hou Yida didn't say anything, but took a lot of photos and sent them to the group to tell everyone that they had finally found someone.

The group of friends was also very lively, and most people agreed to get in touch first to avoid being caught off guard when entering a big city.

Only a few people only want to go to the big cities and feel that contact with these poor people is a waste of time. Their thinking is this: if you encounter danger and the country is behind you, don't be afraid and try your best to turn your bicycle into a motorcycle. This group of people is obviously very radical, and they are just watching the excitement without taking it too seriously. At the same time, they also hope that the country will share the risks of their entrepreneurship. Their idea is simple. The country will definitely not watch them fall into danger, so they can move forward boldly.

But in the end, everyone still made a conservative decision. If everyone asked the country to share risks like the radicals, how could the country have so many people to protect them? Besides, life is your own. If the country comes late, wouldn’t you be in trouble?

So in the end they decided to contact the people in this village and divided into two groups. Hou Yida and Zhang Biao went to contact them, while Zhou Youyu and Li Chongjiu stayed in the car as backup.

Hou Yida and Zhang Biao both carried backpacks filled with various seasonings and small commodities, and walked towards the village with anxiety.

I just showed my face, and all the men, women, and children in the village have already come out. It's about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and all the men, women, and children are at home.

All of them were thin, with bronzed skin, and their clothes were simple linen clothes. Fortunately, here in the south, the temperature is very high.

They were all on guard. When Zhang Biao and Hou Yida approached, most of them had already gone home, leaving only a few old men outside.

To them, Zhang Biao was as big as a beast. His height of 1.9 meters made him look like a small man.

Those old people were very scared and had no idea who these two weirdos were.

When the distance between the two sides was only four or five meters, Hou Yida said in southern dialect: "Fellow, do you understand me?"

Obviously he didn't understand, and Hou Yida knew from the other party's reaction that they couldn't communicate.

Zhang Biao couldn't understand the southern dialect: "How is it? Can we communicate?"

Hou Yida shook his head: "It seems that our work has a long way to go." As he said that, he continued to talk to a few old men, meaning that he wanted to ask for a drink of water. In fact, they all brought mineral water, but it was just a ploy and it was a good excuse to ask for water. Anyway, water is not a scarce thing in this place.

Although language cannot be communicated, the movement of drinking water is still universal. Several old people understood that these two people wanted to drink water, so one old man went to get a wooden bowl and scooped water over.

The water was still very clear, so Hou Yida didn't hesitate and Gudu drank it. Anyway, they brought a lot of medicine this time, so it would be no problem to treat vomiting and diarrhea.

Zhang Biao didn't mind even more. He suffered a lot when he was a soldier. He took the water and drank it.

However, the villagers' vigilance still did not disappear, and they still blocked the two people at the beginning of the village, preventing them from entering the village.

Hou Yida took out a ceramic cup from his backpack and handed it over: "For you."

The old people were all shocked. Although the smooth cup was very tempting, it was just because it was so good that they didn't dare to accept it. They just gave me a bowl of water, and I definitely couldn't accept it.

Although they don't understand ceramics, they know that this thing must be very valuable, so they won't accept anything.

"You don't know how to give gifts." Zhang Biao asked Hou Yida to put the things away. He took out a bag of salt and said, "This is for you." Opening the package, he dipped a little on his index finger and put it in his mouth. He licked it and almost caught him.

The old man was obviously also curious about what it was.

"Try it, try it." Zhang Biao urged them to try the iodized salt.

Finally, a brave old man took the risk and tried it. His eyes lit up. He knew it was salt, and it was as white as snow. The old man excitedly asked others to try it. Everyone was excited after trying it.

Salt is a good thing, but after trying it, they didn't understand what these two weirdos were going to do.

Zhang Biao stuffed the salt into the other party's hand: "Give it to you, give it to you."

The old man was shocked. Such a big bag of salt was too expensive. In their opinion, it was more precious than the ceramic cup. They didn't dare to accept it.

The two were dumbfounded. They couldn't communicate, and they couldn't even send the gift. This was difficult.

However, Zhang Biao had an idea. He took out a few pieces of paper, poured a little on each piece of paper, and then wrapped it up and gave it to the other party: "Accept it." He said with a stern face, as if he would be angry if he postponed it.

The old men accepted the gifts with embarrassment. Their attitudes had changed. They made way for the two weirdos to come in.

Then it was time to talk about exchange. Zhang Biao and Hou Yida made gestures and performed, finally letting the villagers know that they were here to exchange things.

You can bring out any good things at home to exchange.

The group members said that they were here, and they could sell the things that the locals brought out on Xianyu to exchange for money the fastest. Of course, some group members said that if there were young and beautiful girls who could be digested internally, they would also be very painstaking in finding a wife.
