Chapter 372: Ancient Journey (9)
After packing up the fish with Yuu, July remembered the one thing she had planned to do, which was to bring some clay pots back.
She had been busy getting food for herself before, and she didn't know a lot about this world, July was afraid that she would be robbed back after she met the tribe, and at this time, there was You, a local resident, so July said his thoughts.
"Do you want to exchange clay pots?" the roasting meat by the bonfire was stunned for a moment, and then pointed in one direction and said, "From here to that side, there is the pottery tribe, and their tribe will make pottery, and my tribe has also exchanged some pottery with them with seeds and meat this year, as well as a few painted pottery for sacrifices, and you can exchange them with food." ”
The Tao tribe that Yu said does not mean that the totem of this tribe is pottery, so called because this tribe will make pottery. The god of the Tao tribe is the god of the mountain, and their tribe believes that it was the god of the mountain who gave them the clay used to make pottery, so the god of the mountain has been blessing them.
The reason why July knows these is because the tribe where the original owner is located is the Tao tribe, although the original owner has lived there for a few years, but in fact, in his memory, July found that the original owner did not know much about the Tao tribe. Although women in the tribe were of great status, they did not include women from other tribes who were picked up, because the people of the tribe believed that the people who were picked up were not blessed by the gods, unlike their sacrificial gods.
"I'm worried that the Tao tribe will snatch me back when they see me as a woman. July pondered for a moment and then asked about his doubts.
As soon as July's words came out, Yuu's face stiffened. There was a deep contempt for July in his eyes. Yu habitually wanted to scratch the beard on his face, but his beard had been shaved clean by July, so he just scratched it empty. You rubbed her face and said, "You look so ugly, and you're not the kind of woman who looks like she's good at giving birth, why did Tao arrest you?"
Open and close your mouth to embarrass yourself, you can not always talk about the fact that you look so ugly! Although July doesn't care about this, it still sounds very uncomfortable.
"Didn't you just want to take me back to the tribe?" July couldn't help but retort.
And the original owner was captured by the people of the Tao tribe back then! Well, even if he looks ugly now, he can't stop the primitive life from being cold!
"I'm not trying to take you back to the tribe. It's about taking you back to the tribe. "You're a woman in the forest by yourself, it's very dangerous, only exiled people or lost people will be alone in the jungle." I'll help you go back, and you'll be a member of our tribe from now on." In order to repay our tribe, of course you have to reproduce for the tribe. It's ugly, but there are still men in the tribe who no woman wants to choose, and you can have children for them! That's different. The people who can go out to exchange are all very prestigious clansmen in the tribe, and if other tribes detain you, it will cause a battle between the two tribes, and no one will want to do this. "Yuu's vocabulary is very small, but July still understands the meaning of Yuu through association.
The women of the tribe will not leave the settlement too far, not because of the thoughts of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, but because the women of the tribe are so precious that men can die casually. But every woman who can conceive life dies is a great loss for the tribe. The place where July lives now is relatively safe because the previous fire drove away a lot of the beasts that roamed here. But in the middle of the jungle. There is danger everywhere, and women will not be allowed in the tribe to go out and venture alone.
The original owner didn't understand the language back then, so she thought that the tribe forced her to have children, but in fact, in this place, women have no concept of chastity at all, giving birth to children is something that must be done, if you don't have children, you will eat for nothing in the tribe, food is so precious, how can anyone be willing to raise an idler.
Now that we know that there is no danger in exchanging, we must go and change a few clay pots in July before the weather gets even colder.
Although there is a small lunch box in July that can be used to boil water and soup, the lunch box is too small and looks so thin that July is afraid that it will leak this winter, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to drink hot water.
But July was unlucky, because on this night it was snowing outside, and when I woke up early in the morning, the snow in the forest was knee-deep.
To go or not to go? July made a mistake, and after the struggle, July decided to go because the clay pot was so needed.
July changed into clothes made of roasted animal skins, brought a basket of fish, a basket of meat and some necessities, and walked through the thick snow with Yu towards the Tao tribe.
Because they were afraid of snowing again, they did not dare to delay at all, and they had been hurrying during the day, and at night they lit a bonfire and took turns resting with simple sleeping bags made of leather, but they did not encounter any danger. After two days and one night, July and Yu finally came to the range of the Tao tribe.
When he was about to reach Tao's tribe, Yu seemed to hear something, suddenly stopped to silence July, quickly climbed a big tree and looked at it for a while, and then came down to Zhengse and said to July, "The Tao tribe is in danger, and there is a small wolf pack besieging the tribe. ”
July listened to this heart tightened, also climbed the tree to look, sure enough, outside the Tao tribe there are more than a dozen wolves are attacking the tribe, at this time July remembered that in the first winter of the original owner to the Tao tribe, there were indeed wolves attacking the tribe, and finally although the wolves were driven away, but there were many injuries, among which several men died, as if there was a pregnant woman.
"Let's not go over yet, wait until the wolf is gone. July pondered for a while, and then said to You, if it was another animal, July would go up to help pull the relationship. But it was the wolf that attacked the Tao tribe, and the wolf was the most vengeful animal, and July was afraid that if she went up to help, if she met the wolf who took revenge when she went back, it would really be dinner for the wolf.
Yuya didn't want to go up and help, and the tribes rarely interacted with each other except for exchanging goods. Not to mention that the Tao tribe and the fire tribe are not familiar with each other, even if they are familiar, there are few people who help each other in the battle, so he agrees with July's decision and does not refute it at all.
There are wolves in this place, and July didn't dare to live under the tree, so the two of them found a big tree and climbed it to rest.
In the evening, the wolves were finally repulsed, and July beckoned, and then the two of them descended from the tree and walked briskly towards Tao's tribe. (To be continued.) )
