Chapter 1120: Not wicked
Bai Zhi whispered: “This is a small island, materials are scarce, and the people’s wisdom is not as good as ours in the Central Plains. They can’t make the clothes we wear. So it’s not that they don’t want to wear clothes, but they don’t have clothes to wear. This is also their life habits, don’t despise them.”
Xiao Qing doesn’t understand this very well. There was such a place in this world where they can’t even make clothes?
But since she said this, she would naturally take it to heart.
“I see.”Shane Shaw said to Bai Zhi: “Don’t be afraid, they are not evil people.”
Bai Zhi nodded: “With you here, I’m not afraid.”
Shane Shaw’s heart skipped a beat, his eyes staring at Bai Zhi became deeper and deeper, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved. However, this faint smile was hidden in his thick black beard.
Not long after, the previous woman came back with a few men.
The men, just like the woman, wore grass skirts only on the lower body.
When Shane Shaw them, his eyes were full of excitement, while Bai Zhi and Xiao Qing’s eyes were filled with surprise.
Especially, when they saw their clothes, their eyes became even more strange.Shane Shaw exchanged a few words with them. After that, those people lead them to a place.
There were weeds on both sides of the trail, and the road underfoot was trampled by people.
The road was very narrow, and only one person can walk forward. The weeds on both sides were very high. Bai Zhi and Xiao Qing were not tall, so they can’t see the situation outside at all.
Xiao Qing muttered: “This place is all flat, why only make such narrow a path? Wouldn’t it be better to widen the road? They can ride a horse-drawn carriage.”
Bai Zhi continued: “This is not the Central Plains. They don’t know what the carriage is. They made this path without too much thought, and they didn’t think that far. However, this is only temporary, and it will get better in the future slowly.”
Once the sea trade opened, the whole world will become prosperous.
After passing through the long wild path, their eyes suddenly brightened. There was a flat field in front of them. There were also wooden houses built with trees and branches everywhere.
Children were playing on the muddy ground, while the women were burning branches to cook fish.
Seeing them coming, everyone stopped their movements, and almost everyone’s eyes fell on Bai Zhi and Xiao Qing.
Especially those women and little girls, they stared straight at the clothes they were wearing, with envy and surprise in their eyes.
The eyes of the men were more concentrated on the medicine box in Xiao Qing’s hands.
Xiao Qing was very nervous. Her empty left hand was about to touch her dagger, but Bai Zhi held it down.
Bai Zhi shook her head at her, and said softly, “Don’t be afraid, it’s alright.” She found no malice in the eyes of these people.
Xiao Qing’s nervousness eased a little, but she still didn’t dare to relax. She looked at the crowd who kept coming towards them vigilantly.
Shane Shaw stood in front of Bai Zhi and Xiao Qing and talked with the leader in the local dialect that was not very proficient.
Looking at the tall and generous back in front of her, Bai Zhi thought that when she was in Huangtuo Village, Hu Feng was like this. When she needed help, he stood in front of her again and again, using his body to shield her from the wind and rain.
She won’t know how he was now. Her grandfather must be going crazy in worry. If her two mothers knew that she was missing, she doesn’t know what would happen to them.
She must go back as soon as possible!
