Chapter 492: Chapter 488: Earth Egg_1

Yingbao and Wei Zhan were talking and gesturing animatedly, and she handed out a handful of hard candies to the dirty and bare-bottomed children.

The children eagerly took them and immediately put them in their mouths.

Within moments, they were screaming with joy, surrounding Yingbao, hoping for more.

Yingbao picked up a twig and began to draw on the ground, her drawings indicated that if they wanted more candy, they would need to trade something from their homes.

Anything would do, even seeds from vegetables.

Most children didn’t understand, but the adult primitives did. They immediately went home to find some seeds to give to the dark-haired witch.

Yingbao inspected each seed. Among them, she found one kind of seed that was similar in size to soybeans and was elongated.

She gestured and asked the locals, “Can these be eaten?”

The Primitive with yellow curled hair nodded in response.

Eventually, Yingbao bartered wheat for many of these beans.

Before leaving, the people asked her again and again whether she would return, as they were obviously reluctant to see her go.

Yingbao thought for a moment and then, with a wave of her hand, she built two neat rows of thatched huts for them.

The primitives with yellow curly hair were astonished and dropped to their knees in thanks.

Yingbao and Wei Zhan left and visited several more places, collecting various types of seeds.

“Who would have thought that under the same sky as ours there are so many different races.” Wei Zhan couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw a group of dark-skinned primitives.

These primitives were genuinely primitive. They only made strange clicking sounds, and regardless of their age or sex, they were totally nude, lived in low shelters built from branches, ate raw flesh, drank fresh blood, were emaciated but surprisingly strong, and threw stones and spears when they saw Wei Zhan and Yingbao. They were even more barbaric than the yellow-haired primitives.

Yingbao noticed that these primitives couldn’t even farm, despite having vast fertile lands; they, akin to monkeys, existed in the forest, hunting or gathering wild fruits when hungry, and laying on the ground motionless when full, or engaging in indiscriminate mating.

Seeing this, Wei Zhan quickly pulled his wife away.

After several twists and turns, they finally found a city.

It was hardly a city, with very few inhabitants, and the houses were crude. The streets were filthy and sodden, and feces and urine from both humans and animals were everywhere.

Wei Zhan had seen on numerous occasions the inhabitants of stone houses dumping their sewage into the streets, where maggots and flies swarmed.

Fighting his revulsion, Wei Zhan once again dragged his wife away.

But Yingbao stopped him, whispering, “Let’s buy something before we leave.”

Finding a city-like place had been difficult; she wanted to see what local products they had.

“Alright.” Covering his nose and mouth with his collar, Wei Zhan followed Yingbao, looking around.

There were few shops in the city. Discounting the tall stone castles, it looked like a market town.

Yingbao quickly found a jewelry store. Taking out two porcelain vases, she asked, “Would you want these?”

The shop assistant’s eyes widened. Although he didn’t understand what the dark-haired foreigner said, he understood her meaning.

The assistant quickly ran into the back room, informing a middle-aged man, “Sir, a foreigner has come to our shop to sell Eastern porcelain.”

The middle-aged man stood up immediately and rushed to the front of the shop. Sure enough, there were two exquisite porcelain pieces on the counter.

They were decorated with the beautiful and graceful images of Eastern women, as well as exotic plants, and some blocks of characters that he couldn’t understand.

Yes, this was the Eastern porcelain that was hard to come by.

However…

The man sized up the Eastern man and woman in front of him. Seeing their outfits made entirely from luxurious Eastern silk, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
