Chapter 699 Discovering the Natives
For these Daqin soldiers, a large part of them left Daqin for the first time.
In this tropical rainforest, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants are rare for them.
It's just that before leaving, Ying Yu specifically explained to them.
Along the way, the primary goal is to complete the task, and try not to cause extra problems.
Especially when you see those beautiful plants, don't move around, because these things may be life-threatening if you are not careful.
Everyone kept Ying Yu's instructions in mind.
Qinglong led the advance team all the way deep, and finally found traces of human activities on the seventh day.
Tracking all the way, they soon found a very small village.
In the entire village, there are no more than twenty houses, large and small, all of which are very crudely built.
It is more appropriate to say that it is a village, but it is a place where human beings gather.
Qinglong always remembered Ying Yu's explanation in his heart, and when he met the local aborigines, he should try his best to communicate with them in a friendly manner.
Because they came to this place across many oceans, the language of Daqin must not be understood by the people here.
This requires rich body movements to communicate.
In the end, Qinglong selected a shrewd soldier from the advance team to communicate.
At the same time, Jin Yiwei was also ordered to lie in ambush near the village and provide immediate support in case of danger.
After everything was ready, the soldier in charge of communication walked towards the small village alone.
When the distance was a little closer, the soldiers also found that there were many women and children in this small village moving outside.
Through observation, he found that the facilities in this village were extremely backward.
Based on preliminary judgment, their current lifestyle should still be based on hunting.
It is not difficult to understand why there are only women and children in the village.
Because a strong man needs to go out to hunt and search for living supplies during the day.
In order not to misunderstand the people here, the soldiers who went to communicate did not carry weapons.
Soon he came to the entrance of the village, because he already knew that language must not be able to communicate, so he deliberately made noise at the entrance of the village.
He didn't want to disturb the people in this village, he just wanted to convey a message to let them know that there were people outside this village.
Not long after he made a noise, someone discovered him, and then dozens of women with weapons stood in the open space at the gate of the village.
There was obvious hostility in their eyes, but no one took the initiative to confront the soldiers like that.
The soldiers came to communicate, so naturally they had to take the initiative.
He first raised his hands high to indicate that he had no weapons, which also showed that he did not have any hostility.
After that, he tentatively took a step forward, but he didn't dare to go in directly.
Because if you do this, it may be an act of infringement for this kind of primitive tribe.
So he just took a tentative step forward.
Sure enough, after seeing his actions, everyone in the village showed puzzled expressions.
Seeing that these natives did not stop themselves, nor did they act aggressively, the soldier took another tentative step forward.
In this way, he slowly moved to the open space of the village step by step.
Finally, he came in front of this group of people.
Later, he began to use his body movements to express his thoughts.
Even if they don't understand the language, these villagers are, after all, mature humans.
Although these villagers didn't know what the soldier wanted to express, they also saw that he was not hostile.
Seeing that the villagers didn't understand what he meant, the soldier became a little anxious and spoke directly.
It's just that he spoke Daqin's language, so it was obviously impossible for the other party to understand.
A group of local villagers looked blankly at the dancing soldiers, and many of them were even holding back their smiles.
After a while, a villager took the initiative to come up, and also made gestures, which was regarded as a response.
However, when faced with the same dancing local villagers, the soldiers also looked at a loss, obviously not understanding what the other party wanted to express.
So the two began to make gestures in the open space, conveying the meaning they wanted to express, but the body language was a bit too profound.
The two gestured for a long time, but they were still confused, and there was no effective communication at all.
But this is a good start for soldiers.
Although these villagers did not let go of their guard, they obviously did not have any hostility towards him.
If you take your time, you will be able to communicate sooner or later.
Hesitating slightly, the soldier asked if there were more people like them here?
I don't know if I understand it or not, but I saw the other party pointing in a direction, which is considered to be a response.
The soldier nodded, and then threw the dry food he was carrying to the other party.
Only then did he slowly exit the village and return to the large army.
"The general information is that there is a little bit. Going in this direction, there may be more indigenous people, but they are not going in the same direction as us."
The soldiers told Qinglong all the information they got from the village.
Of course, this is just what he thinks is intelligence.
Whether it is true or not, he himself is not sure.
The rest of the army did not enter the village. The population is so sparse that even if he was asked to be a worker, they would not be of much help.
So the advance troops started moving again, and at this moment, a child suddenly ran out of the village.
The kid stood in front of the line and kept waving.
This meaning is easy to understand, it is to let them not go any further.
Daqin's advance troops arrived for the first time, and they didn't know where there would be danger.
If they are stopped by the locals, they will naturally pay attention to it.
So Qinglong directly ordered the troops to temporarily stop their progress.
He called the soldier he had communicated with again and asked him to communicate with the child.
After some strenuous body language between the two, the soldier probably understood what the child was trying to express.
The reason why the child stopped them was because there was a terrifying place ahead.
As for this terrifying place, how terrifying and dangerous it is, I can't analyze it just by body movements.
At this moment, Qinglong began to hesitate. Their task was to go all the way to the place marked on the map.
There is still some distance from that place, so it might be a bit inappropriate to stop like this.
If you go around, it will take a lot of time.
If they ignored the warnings from the local natives and continued to move forward, they would not know what kind of danger was waiting for them.
