537-Past tense

Seeing a familiar face, Ji Thief couldn't help but be stunned: "Brother Yan, why are you?"

It was the patriarch of the Yan tribe who came, and he brought more than a dozen clansmen, and when he saw the thief, he smiled happily: "Warrior, who else did I say, it turned out to be you, why are you here?"

Ji Thief looked left and right, it was already dawn.

Tsuchiyama sat cross-legged on the ground and didn't say anything to remind him.

With a red face, Ji Thief grabbed his face: "No, it's okay, just come out and go around, but Brother Yan, why are you here?"

The patriarch of the wild goose smiled: "Isn't that the last time I went to your tribe to be a warrior, my daughter fell in love with the clothes that Xue was wearing, so let me buy it back for her." ”

The thief thought about it, and then understood.

Previously, Ah Qi made a lot of linen cloth, in addition to making these cloths into masks, the rest made some clothes and sent them out, the last time the patriarch of the Yan clan said, it should have been when they went to the Lihuo tribe to buy currency.

It seems that the tribes of the large mountain range have basically done it, and they don't need to say it themselves, they have taken the initiative to think of using currency to buy what they need.

"Oh, that's it, go ahead of you, Brother Yan, there's someone in the tribe. ”

After thinking about it, the thief laughed.

The patriarch of the wild goose looked at the thief with some confusion: "What about you, warrior, aren't you going back?"

Ji Thief smiled: "I still have some things, so I won't go back first." ”

Seeing this, the Yan patriarch nodded: "Okay, then warrior, you should be busy first, I'll go." ”

As he spoke, the Yan patriarch stood up and walked in the direction of the Lihuo tribe.

At the same time, Usma, who was woken up, rubbed his shoulders and came to the thief, sighed and said: "Now our tribe is lively, I personally feel that even if Ah Liang's hunting department reduces its hunting efforts, we don't lack anything." ”

The thief looked at Usma: "Why do you say that?"

Usma snorted: "Patriarch, it seems that you haven't been managing the tribe much recently. These days, the logistics department has seven or eight hundred prey that they need to accept from the Lin Patriarch alone. ”

Ji Thief couldn't help but be a little surprised: "So many?"

Usma nodded: "Yes, this winter has passed, the prey is heading north, and everyone can catch a lot of prey, except for the stupid ones in the Bone Wasteland, of course." ”

Hearing this, Ji Thief laughed, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, it seems that the implementation of currency has achieved initial results.

According to what Usma just said, now the Lihuo tribe can implement that kind of half-work system, so, with some more time, wouldn't it be that the Lihuo tribe doesn't need to work up and down, and everyone can eat enough and dress warmly?

Nothing else, mainly because everyone has currency in their hands.

As soon as he thought of this, the thief couldn't help but laugh.

Just smiling and laughing, Ji Thief's face pulled down again.

Not to mention anything else, it is for the sake of worry-free food and clothing in the future, to be a happy rice worm in a primitive society, Qingfeng tribe, I will also defeat you.

Thinking of this, Ji Thief sniffed his nose and said, "Okay, don't be stunned, it's time for us to go." ”

With that, the five of them buried the ashes with soil and set out on their journey.

When passing by the old site of the Black Mountain Tribe Valley, Ji Thief forgot to glance at his biggest enemy at the beginning, and couldn't help but sigh, and muttered in a low voice: "Qingfeng Tribe, you will eventually become my past tense like Black Mountain." ”

Usma also asked, "Patriarch, what are you babbling about?"

"Nothing. ”

After walking a little further, the group divided into two teams, and the thief led Tushan and Ah Hu towards the sandy land northwest of the large mountain range.

Usma, on the other hand, led Achi towards the northern entrance.

Walking on the familiar road, Ji Thief looked at the mountain scenery on the left and right sides and couldn't help but sigh, and smiled at Ah Hu: "When I first came, Ah Niu still looked like he was begging for a beating, as if it was the second or third day, I made a clay pot and drank a mushroom soup, at that time Ah Niu said no, as a result, he led someone to steal my crockpot at night, guess what the result was?"

Ah Hu's lips moved: "What?"

Ji Thief laughed: "The clansmen who followed Ah Niu all ate poisonous mushrooms by mistake, and they died in pain, by the way, and they were thin..."

When it came to the thin elder, Ji Thief's mood couldn't help but become low.

When he first came, because the thin elder targeted him everywhere, Ji Thief always felt that he was a little annoying.

Later, when the Black Mountain tribe sneak attacked, the thin elder lost his life because he saved himself, which also became a knot in the heart of the thief for a time.

"Ah Niu was a little worse at that time, originally when I came back, I thought he was still the same as before, but I didn't expect that he had changed so much. Ah Hu sighed, and then said to the thief: "For this, I also want to thank you, the patriarch." ”

The eldest brother is like a father, although primitive people do not have this concept, but Ah Hu loves his younger brother, it is true.

At the same time, Ah Hu also has a headache for Ah Niu's previous character who likes to lie and tell right and wrong.

He hates this kind of person, just as he doesn't want to see the hairy monkey, his younger brother becoming like this is the most uncomfortable thing for Ah Hu.

However, when he came back with Songtsen, he found that Ah Niu had changed and became very responsible.

The younger brother who used to like to lie and play tricks on people is gone, and even Ah Hu can see on the faces of the clansmen that they have a sincere look of respect for Ah Niu.

After learning that it was the thief who changed his brother, Ah Hu had a good impression of the thief.

It's just that Songtsam and Ji Thief had a hostile relationship at the beginning, and Ah Hu, as Songtsen's subordinate, naturally couldn't have any behavior with him.

He has always wanted to talk to Ji Thief to express his gratitude for this, but he didn't find a chance.

It's a good time now, Ah Hu's heart moved, and he lowered his head slightly and whispered, "Thank you, patriarch." ”

Ji Thief was stunned, didn't understand what Ah Hu meant, and didn't think clearly after thinking for a while, Ji Thief smiled, pointed to the road under his feet and continued: "I remember that at that time, Ah Liang, Ah Niu, and several other clansmen of the tribe came to pick honeysuckle to treat the clansmen who accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms, and at that time, we just entered the sand. ”

As he spoke, the thief also pointed to the endless golden yellow behind the hillside.

Standing on the top of the mountain, all the familiar scenery came into view, and the thief sighed again: "I was here at that time, killing the holy snake horned beep of the Black Mountain tribe, but in the end, I was caught by a few Black Mountain tribesmen, and it was also at that time that I encountered snow and a blade-toothed tiger." Seriously, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Bladetooth Tiger, I'm afraid I would have become food in the belly of the Black Mountain tribe. ”

The first time he heard Ji Thief talk about his past, Ah Hu was also slightly surprised.

The thief looked to the west, where there was the former site of the Frost Valley tribe.

When the thief was remembering, Tushan stepped up and said with a ramming voice: "If you want me to say that the patriarch, what do you want to do so much, the Black Mountain tribe is no longer there, they are gone, there is time to think about them, let's think about how to explore this sandy land." ”

Ji Thief laughed: "Yes, that's right, this sandy land is the key to whether we can defend against the first line of defense of the Qingfeng tribe, if it is really vast and boundless, then, we can reduce the defense area, if it is too small, we have to think about whether to shrink the defensive front." ”

Tushan and Ah Hu both knew about the existence of the Qingfeng tribe, and the two of them did not express too much surprise, and both nodded.

The three of them, one with an iron spear, one with a copper knife, and the other with a double copper hammer, then went into the sand with plenty of food and fresh water.

There are many poisonous insects and sand snakes in the sand, and the thieves who have been here once know that this place is dangerous, and they don't dare to have any carelessness along the way.

During the day, the thief swept in front of him with an iron spear as a stick to pull grass, driving out all the poison hidden under the sand.

In the evening, the people gathered thorns in the sand and lit a bonfire before they dared to rest.

One is to keep warm, and the other is to drive away poisonous insects.

After five days of travel, the food that the three of them carried with them when they came was already very little, and the sand had not yet seen the end.
