Rise of Rurik Chapter 213

To be fair, businessman Verdegen is a bit more merciful than many of his colleagues.

He rescued more than 100 Aostara refugees, young and old, within his own ability. For the entire refugee group, these people are lucky.

Fodgen has changed his mind. He has lost patience with the Ostara, and the pile of "hot potatoes" in his hand must be taken by a "big good person".

He hired a fleet and withdrew, and the Granites and their cattle and sheep also had a new destination.

In fact, as many Ostara refugees estimated, they bought merchant's beef at a high price and arrived at the Yilmalun territory at the cost of almost starving to death.

Many refugees with complete freedom starved to death and died in the middle of exhaustion. Those who survived were finally taken in by the relatively wealthy Yilmalun people as they wished. As for the price, women and children immediately become family members of the host, or labor force for work.

On the surface, the Yilmalun people are really kind. Actually? Their style is quite pragmatic.

They took in the poor woman with the child, but they couldn't tolerate the "armed immigrant" group of all Granites squeezing their living space.

It was the night when Carlotta and Ella escaped. The Granite leader Oak and Yelmalen leader Wenderson reached a consensus on the future development of both parties.

Of course the Granny wanted to live closer to the old man, so why didn't the Yilmalun think so.

That is, the number of cattle and sheep of the Gran people far exceeds their population. That is a large group of monsters that can desperately eat grass! In the eyes of cattle and sheep, wheat seedlings, onion seedlings, and even all green things are green grass, and they are all edible.

Wenderson gave Granite a good idea.

"You and your people move to the northeast of the lake. The river is full of rocks, and there are rocky beaches near it, with grass growing on it. It might be very suitable for you."

Chief Oak felt that he was offended, but Wenderson had no intention of offending his allies.

"That rocky beach is not suitable for farming at all. I can say responsibly that it is indeed a good place for grazing. Besides, those stones are excellent building materials, and you can even find iron ore in the stones."

stone? Iron ore? The current situation is that the Granites migrated to the territory of the Yilmalun people. Newcomers naturally have to listen to the suggestions of the locals.

The Yilmalun people were also sincere, and the leader told him that he was worried that the Granite's cattle and sheep would destroy the crops. The western and northern shores of the lake are endless swamps, where no grazing is allowed and more difficult to cultivate. Therefore, the only place in this area where the Granians can live is the estuary area in the northeast.

At least there is a lot of pasture there, and the ground is hard.

As for stone, using it to build a stone house may be more warmer than the wooden house I once had.

It is said that there is still iron ore? If the people of Gran, who settled in a new area, can start the business of selling ironware to their allies if they process ironware and make ironware?

The Granites made a choice-continue to migrate.

On the third day after the departure of the Fodgen fleet, the Granites, who had been trained for a while, drove their cattle and sheep to start a new journey.

In three days, they basically restrained their own sheep, but the cattle and sheep of some families ate the wheat fields of their allies. Regarding this incident, the Yilmalun people were slanderous, and the Gran people had to hand over some cattle and sheep to apologize.

Cows and sheep, people keep them for the purpose of eating meat and milk for fur.

Using oxen to pull the plow is a great example of intensive farming. The so-called Yilmalun people who are good at agriculture are just installing an iron blade on the original wooden plow, and the plow is pulled forward by the farmer to clear the land. They, even Ma Geng did not exist.

In other words, horses are still rare livestock in Scandinavia.

Even the Danes, they were just getting in touch with horses during this period. The young Ragnar also saw the Frankish cavalry a few years ago. For the time being, he could not foresee the potential of the cavalry. He only knew that there was nothing more efficient than his own long ship.

The Gran people used cattle, sheep and dairy products to trade a batch of living utensils and even surplus food to the Yilmalun people.

The leader of Yilmallen also received a generous gift from the opposing leader's ten cows.

That's ten cows! The cows can almost guarantee that the leader's family has milk to drink every day.

In general, the cooperation between the two parties will be a win-win situation. The two tribes temporarily living in Lake Yilmalen, one produces food and vegetables on a large scale, and the other develops animal husbandry. This is good, the carbohydrate, vitamins and protein to maintain human survival are all available.

The Granites are here, and they are building a new settlement at the mouth of the Stone River. This is the future city of "Eskilston", a commercial trading point, and the future steel smelting center in central and southern Sweden.

As the Yilmalun tribe explained, there are a lot of open-air iron ore in the rocky beaches in the estuary area, and there is indeed an iron ore vein nearby.

However, this vein is incredible, it stretches from the Götaland Heights to the Arctic Circle!

The Russ in the north did not need to excavate much, they found the veins of the mineral veins exposed on the surface.

Only when the Granite arrived at the recommended place, the leader Oc keenly realized that there were indeed many black stones that were a little shining in the sun. This object is iron ore. There is indeed ore in the Rocky Beach Mountain, but no one will discover it.

"If we use the iron ore here, I am afraid it will be more profitable than raising cattle and sheep!"

A great idea sprouted in the head of Chief Oak-smelt iron to get rich.

When they decided to take root here and plan to smelt iron on a large scale and put it into practice, the actual "Eskilston" was born.

It is located in the important position of land transportation between the residents of Lake Mälaren and the residents of the south. It is held here and the existing shipping is used to make the local area a trading market town.

The Yilmalun people never thought that their suggestions would bring disaster to themselves. Once the new town of the Granites is built, why should the merchants come to live there with the Yilmalun?

Eskilston, originally meant to be "the town of the missionary Eskil", was also the name changed during the "Northern Crusade Conquest". Before that, the town had been born.

She can have various names, but her city's economic attributes will not change

On the original plane, the Granites replaced the Yilmalunites and became permanent settlers of the geographic location, and they were also smart enough to immediately develop the iron ore resources in the area.

No one had thought that a group of tribes who avoided war would have the opportunity to become steel tycoons in the new region.

Just like the last survivor of the family of the chiefs of the Ostara tribe, the two children do not know their future fate.

Two lonely children, they were very hasty when they ran away, and now they are penniless.

They wanted to get into the merchant ship bound for Lake Mälaren, but during this time, only one fleet left, but many fleets entered the port of Yilmalen in a long snake formation. For a while, the lakeside harbor was full of boats, like a group of stranded whales.

The legendary Yilmallen, she is getting more and more lively.

Since it is lively, there are opportunities for the poor to fish in troubled waters.

Manage law and order? No, the chief family has not yet invented the profession of "policeman".

The intricate streets of Yilmallen give the thieves some room to move.

Like Carlotta and Ella, two displaced children, they can also take advantage of the opportunity to hide like mice, looking for leftovers to survive.

They hid in an empty cowshed, between a large pile of withered haystacks.

It is also here that the two children know that they can get some special precious food.

When it comes to raising cattle, the Ostara people are better than the Gran people!

Even the granddaughter of the leader, the milking level of the two girls is no worse than that of a group of elderly women. Or because of their unique physique, the Ostara people are like many tribes. They drink raw milk directly, and the possibility of diarrhea is very low.

They can go out during the day, collect some useful things in the dirty streets, beware of bad guys, and are also asking for news.

During this time, they received important news.

It turned out that the leaders of the Yilmalun people asked the priests to do a divination. The priests determined that this year's onion harvest was on June 15th in the Julian calendar.

The same was true on the days when onions were harvested in previous years. Before the sacrifice, the tribesmen were already polishing their hoes and shovels.

In the era when there was no onion digging machine, it was necessary to dig with bare hands, and only high-level people would not dig the onion.

To dig onions on June 15th? After that, a lot of onions will be transported by merchants to the port market in Melaren for sale?

The two children wandered for a day, and they dragged their tired bodies back to the hiding cowshed and got into the haystack.

The family that makes a living by selling milk has never found two uninvited guests living in their cowshed, just as they would not care about scurrying rats.

It was late at night, and the two hungry children began to act like mice. Their target was the cow.

The cow was awakened, and her sister took hay to feed and comforted the cow by the way.

The younger sister took the opportunity to get down and began to **** milk like a calf.

After Ella was full, she changed to sister Carlotta to cheat, and the smaller Ella took over from her sister to practice the real traditional skills of training cows.

If given the opportunity, the two would be happy to talk to others about their experience in raising cattle, such as with Lu Mia of Ross, the expert on raising reindeer?

Now, they still don't know their fate.

They are still waiting for the time to leave Yilmallen.

The Mellaren tribe is the place of happiness? It must be there! It was there that supported the sisters and had the motivation to persist in fleeing.

In Yilmallen, the two are like invisible people. According to their identities, they can certainly ask for the blessing of the chief family. But they didn't, because they didn't have any tokens to prove their noble status!

Not only are the two children penniless, they are in tatters, and at first glance they are orphans and beggars.

They don't seem to exist, waiting quietly for the onion harvest season to come.

It was late at night, and Carlotta, who was already haggard, was in a worse situation.

My sister Ella watched at night. It was during the day of this day that my sister was limping again when she walked.

"Sister, are you okay?"

"I, it should be okay." With the help of moonlight, Carlotta opened her clothes and saw the wound she didn't want to see clearly.

The moonlight shone on her haggard face and also showed her sadness.

In any case, the act of "welding" the wound with a soldering iron has the effect of killing spoilage bacteria, and it is only a temporary extreme operation after all. If Carlotta can continue to eat high-nutrient food after this treatment, her body's self-repairing ability will completely defeat the counterattack of bacteria.

And this was what Fodgen had said before, that the old guy really planned to give Carlotta meticulous treatment, delicious and delicious treatment.

But the price is to lose freedom and ideals forever.

Carlotta would rather die than that, so now, she can only accept this "freedom pain".

"Well, the wound has become serious."

Seeing her sister's wound, Ella was panicked, and a bad premonition came to her heart: "Sister, you are really fine. I'm afraid."

"Being scared, dear, I can continue to hold on. I'll be fine when it's Mellaren."

"Are you serious?" My sister moved her little head over.

"Of course." Carlotta put her little hand on her shoulders and looked at the moon: "Darling, do you know? It's a miracle that we can live until now. The Valkyrie promised us to continue to live, and we won't die. By the time Mellaren, everything will be fine."

Ella heard it really, she cuddled up to her sister and fell asleep. Carlotta had to put her arms around her sister, enduring the pain of her second suppurative right leg and barely slept.

In their dreams, they dreamed of happiness, dreams of their dead family members.

But the noise outside woke them up.

The owner of the cow took the cow away, and the cow now has a cameo as an envoy to pull the cart. Today, the entire tribe is mobilized, and the onion excavation has begun!

The merchants who have stayed for a long time are also in a carnival. They can't wait to spend the money they prepared today, and tomorrow they will follow the warm south wind and set sail to the north.

This is the opportunity that the two girls have been waiting for for a long time!

During the day, the two of them left the cowshed where they had been hiding for more than ten days and ran to the lake dock.

They didn't intend to talk to the sailor here in a daze. A wise man had better hide himself at this time.

Carlotta knew that she was risking the lives of her and her sister.

But now that he is penniless and even his clothes are in dilapidated condition, is there anything I can't lose?

There is only one, and that is each other!

Carlota has made extreme preparations, assuming that the smuggling fails, it is the death date of herself and her sister. If it is mortal, the sisters also committed suicide by throwing water.

They hid in a secluded corner of the pier and waited quietly. Finally, in the evening, amidst the laughter and laughter of the crowd, a large number of onions began to pour into the port.

On the first day of the harvest season, the best quality onions are produced!

Throughout the onion banquet started in Yilmallen, many farmers also made a fortune in comfort.

The happiest people are the business people. They have been here for a long time, and after all, their hard work has paid off.

The highly vigilant Carlota pulled her sister to observe in the grass. She braced herself to endure the pain of her leg, her eyes locked on a target.

"My dear, that's the ship. We touched it at night. We got into the big box and into the pile of onions."

Ella was a little worried: "Can you? We will be suffocated to death."

"Don't worry, we won't be able to die, just act carefully, don't let people see."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ella nodded. The seven-year-old really didn't have much opinion.

Carlotta knew that he was taking an adventure, and this adventure was really worth it.

It was late at night, except for the sailors who guarded the onions at night, no one was walking around arbitrarily, except for a nap around the campfire.

Two sneaky figures crept up. In order to survive, Carlotta bit a wooden stick in the bushes and squeezed the thick water from her knees with her bare hands, which made her feel better. If she doesn't do this, she is afraid that her plan will be abandoned, and she will even kill her sister.

Now that the shoes have been completely broken, the two simply abandoned their leather boots, playing barefoot like two cats, and approaching the large cargo ship carrying onions silently.

Even if it is a cargo ship, the Vikings did not set up a deck. There were large wooden boxes for loading goods. It was placed in the open air, and at most it was covered with a layer of canvas during transportation.

No one noticed the two girls, there was no stubble, they got into the magenta onion pile and disappeared without a trace.

The gap between the onion **** gave them room to breathe. The onion smell inside was really strong, but they didn't dare to stick out their heads.

At dawn, no one noticed that there were two children in the onion pile~www.mtlnovel.com~ The merchants were all thinking about selling onions to make money. At most, after looking at the status of the onions, a huge linen cloth covered them in the open air. On the wooden box.

The boat suddenly started to move, and the girl was so dizzy with the smell that the girl finally poked her head out, looking at the bright world above her head, she couldn't help being surprised.

"Sister, they are leaving, let's go to Mellaren."

"It must be. Ella, I'm thinking about it." Carlotta whispered.

"what should we do?"

"When we get to Mellaren, we will go to the leader of the Melaren people. We'd better go personally. If it doesn't work, we will explain our identities to these merchants and let them guide us."

"Okay. Sister, I'm a little hungry."

"Hungry?" Carlotta smiled slightly. "You are overwhelmed by onions, and you are all here to eat. Eat..."

But onion, its calories are too low and too low, and the spicy taste is also unbearable for the two children.

In order to survive, you can only eat.
