Chapter 205 (1/2)
Nan Xun looked away quickly.
This, this shameless rogue, actually seducing her in public.
The head of the Alashan tribe came out and stared at him cautiously.
A’Mang tilted his mouth and said, “Alashan Patriarch, I am the new leader of the cannibal tribe. I heard that you exchange food and clothing here, so I also wanted to join in the fun. Will you refuse our participation?”
The heads of the tribes glanced at each other. The Patriarch of the Alashan clan exclaimed, “If you really came to exchange things, we will not refuse. But if you have other motives, we will never let go of you cannibals!”
A’Mang sneered and didn’t say anything. He shouted at his brothers behind him, and they swaggered into the trading market.
When this group of savages passed by, people deliberately avoided them.
After A’Mang pretended to pick and choose, he led twenty to thirty big men behind him and stopped in front of A’Yu and A’Shi.
A’Yu and A’Shi looked at him cautiously with their muscles taunt.
A’Mang hooked his mouth and smiled wickedly at A’Yu and A’Shi, then pointed to Chuxue. “I think this is a good woman. I am willing to trade twenty wool animal skins for her.”
As soon as his words fell, the audience was silent.
Nan Xun also froze. A’Mang has wool? He wants to buy Chuxue girl?
After the silence came restlessness.
Everyone was stunned.
Twenty wool animal skins ah!
A single piece of wool could allow a person to survive the winter’s chill. Twenty pieces could let twenty people survive!
In the trading market, people often exchanged food and animal skins for women, but the highest price was two beasts that were 200 or 250kg, or five or six pieces of wool animal skins.
It was said that the cannibals were short of women. Several men had to share a woman together, but they weren’t scarce to the degree that they were willing to trade 20 animal skins or wool just for a woman!
After hearing this, A’Yu’s complexion instantly paled, and he coldly said, “The women we brought aren’t for sale.”
A’Mang wasn’t happy and couldn’t help but stare at the Alashan tribe’s Patriarch. “Alashan Patriarch, you can judge this trade. Everyone knows that except for the women of the Alashan tribe, all the women brought by the other tribes are used for trading. However, this man obviously brought these women to trade and isn’t willing to trade them to me. Even for 20 pieces of wool he wasn’t willing to trade them. Patriarch, do you think he looks down on us?”
The Alashan Patriarch’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. They were right. Every year, every tribe that brought women had the intention to trade them. Thus, if a trade brought women, they must be used for trading. But A’Yu and A’Shi also said beforehand that these women weren’t meant for trading.
The Alashan Patriarch immediately explained, “A’Yu’s tribe lacks women. How could it be possible for them to trade women? Just now, A’Yu traded for two women of my Alashan tribe, so they are just—”
A’Mang suddenly stabbed his spear firmly into the ground and coldly interrupted him. “Alashan Patriarch, are you allying with the people of this tribe to deceive me? Although we cannibals are crueler, we never treat our women unfairly. I’d like to trade 20 pieces of wool fur for a woman, but you’re still not satisfied yet?”
The Alashan Patriarch was anxious and hurriedly said, “How about this, there are many beautiful women in the Alashan tribe, and they aren’t inferior to this woman, can you—”
“No! I fancy her!” A’Mang said resolutely and decisively.
