In fact, Ding Qi still has some bamboo products that have not been taken out, such as bamboo plaques and bamboo sieves, mainly because he is worried that the three tribes have nothing to exchange. There is also the pottery made by the three deer recently, a lot of it is hidden in the wooden shed over there, Ding Qi doesn't want to put it all out, and after they have used it for a while and know that the pottery is good, these people will exchange a lot of pottery.

Ding Qi led the deer to the Graystone tribe first, and on the hides were placed some plant tubers, fruits, some exquisite stone tools, such as stone axes, stone knives, stone spears, stone sickles, and even a stone pestle-shaped stone bar placed next to a stone mortar.

Ding Qi picked up the stone sickle and looked closely, there was a wooden stick tied to the right side of this stone tool, and the blade of the stone sickle had fine serrations, which gave people a very delicate feeling, which made Ding Qi see the role of this stone tool at a glance.

"Red Stone Collar, what is this?"

Seeing that Ding Qi was interested in his tribe's items, Akaishi was also very happy in his heart, and said happily:

"Aragami, this is a stone sickle, which is used to cut some wild grass and wild vegetables. Our tribe needs to use wild grass to pad in the cave, and when you pull it out by hand, you may scratch your hand, and one of our tribesmen invented this, which is especially convenient for mowing grass. ”

Akaishi was very proud, and couldn't help but start boasting:

"Our Greystone tribe is the most skilled in making stone tools among the surrounding tribes, and it is also the tribe that knows the most about stones. In addition to the stone sickle, the stone knives, stone axes, and stone spears are also very good and durable! ”

"Do you use the scythe for anything else?"

"Well, nothing else. Oh, by the way, you can also skin animals instead of stone knives"

Akaishi was a little embarrassed, such a good stone sickle actually only had the function of mowing grass. Fortunately, he thought of the other role of the stone sickle again, and slightly concealed the embarrassment on his face.

Ding Qi heard Akaishi talk about the role of the stone sickle, and his face was slightly disappointed. In his senses, the original intention of the stone sickle should have been to cut some large areas of food crops. From ancient times to modern society, the sickle has only one function, that is, it is used to harvest grain, the only difference is the material.

So the first time Ding Qi saw the stone sickle, he thought that the Graystone tribe had grain to harvest, which made him very excited, but he didn't expect that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. It seems that food crops are not so easy to find!

Ding Qi looked around the Red Stone Tribe in disappointment, but found another special phenomenon, the captured slaves and the injured people of their tribe were huddled together, and they also squatted behind the animal skins, as if they were also the items used by the Graystone Tribe in exchange, which made Ding Qi a little surprised. But his face remained silent and continued towards the Red Bull tribe.

There are not many items in the Red Bull tribe, except for some stone tools and fruits, just piles of plant roots, and I don't know how they carried them, this is a long way. Perhaps primitive people thought that food was hard currency, which could be exchanged for everything. Of course, they still want to exchange these plant rhizomes for some meat. There were also bone needles made of bone, bone spears, and even a necklace made of unknown animal teeth.

Just when Ding Qi felt that there was nothing to see, a black, shiny piece in the hand of a Red Bull tribesman in the corner fell into his eyes.

Ding Qi's eyes lit up, and he asked the slightly shy man:

"What's in your hand? Could you please let me have a look? ”

The shy man saw that the eyes of the people around him were all around him, his face turned red suddenly, and he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at everyone. The leader of the black bull was a little angry, thinking that he had fallen into the face of the tribe, and reprimanded loudly:

"Cow hair, puff up your chest, don't look so depressed. This is the leader of the Ding tribe, and he is also the Aragami that everyone has passed on by mouth, so quickly answer the question of Aragami. ”

Cow hair? Tinch was amused by his name, not because he had only caught a handful of cow hair while hunting.

The sound of the black bull reprimanding Niu Mao did not cause too many reactions from everyone, but he said that the person standing in front of him was the Aragami, and everyone turned their eyes to Ding Qi, some were curious, some inquired, and some were puzzled.

Regardless of everyone's reactions, Ding Qi stretched out his hand again and asked:

"Well, cow hair, can you show me what you have in your hand?"

This time, the man named Niu Mao finally mustered up the courage to raise his head and handed the items in his hand to Ding Qi, but his face was still a little flushed, and he opened his mouth to reply:

"I don't know what it is, I found it while hunting in the mountains. This black stone is very light, it doesn't look very big, but it's quite heavy! ”

Ding Qi started, it was very smooth, there were some potholes and bumps on it, and there was a little rust-like thing on it. This black stone is just as Niu Mao said, a fist-sized piece, but it is very heavy.

Ding Qi held back the ecstasy in his heart, and did not show anything on his face. In my heart, I was glad that I didn't expect to find such an important thing in the exchange with three inconspicuous tribes. How important?

He judged that this was a piece of meteorite iron as soon as he started it! Of course, it is also possible that a piece of pure iron occurs naturally.

Does Iron Matter? Of course it's important. If iron ore could be found at the same time as copper and tin ore, wouldn't the tribe develop even faster?

"Well, it's a bit weird, it doesn't look very big, and it's quite heavy. Is the place where you found this thing close to your tribe? Are there any other stones around that that are the same, or are there any differences? ”

Ding Qi asked several questions in a row, also wondering if that place was an iron mine.

Niu Mao thought carefully before replying:

"No, that place is no different from other stone mountains, they are all bluestone mountains. I found it on the edge of a rabbit's nest while chasing a rabbit. I brought it back because I was curious, and I came to the Ding tribe this time to see if I could exchange it for some food or tools. ”

"Okay, cow hair, right! If you want to exchange food or tools, I'll give it to you. ”

Niu Mao turned his head to look at the black bull leader, seemed to have made up his mind, and then said:

"I, I want to change your tribe's tools, if it's pottery, it's even better."

Ding Qi thought for a moment, turned around and said a word to Ben, and then said to Niu Mao:

"Okay, I'll exchange your black stone for a clay pot."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people of the Red Bull tribe collectively exclaimed, they didn't expect that an inconspicuous stone could be exchanged for a clay pot. When the bull went back, he told them the function of the pottery pot, and the pottery bowl, and it was really unexpected that such a good thing could be exchanged for one so easily. Especially the leader of the black bull, he couldn't believe it, he was going to exchange the five female slaves exchanged with the Graystone Tribe and the Blue Bird Tribe for a clay pot!

Without waiting for them to continue their amazement, Tinch continued:

"There are conditions for exchanging with you, you go back and look there to see if there is any such black stone, or other colored stone, and you will tell me the next time you trade. When the time comes, whether I find it or not, I will exchange a clay bowl for the news you brought back. All right? ”

Niu Mao was speechless in shock, and the leader of the black bull urged him. After a while, Niu Mao clasped his chest with his right hand, and said after performing a common inter-tribal ritual to Ding Qi:

"Okay, Leader Tinch, I'll tell you everything I saw there next time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ben came over with a clay pot and handed it to Niu Mao. Niu Mao happily took it and handed it over to the leader of the black bull, and the surrounding tribesmen gathered around to watch. Tinki handed the things to Ben and told him to take them back to the house and put them away.

He turned around and was about to go to the Blue Bird Tribe, but out of the corner of his eye, he observed that the Red Bull tribe surrounded the leader and revealed five slave girls and two injured tribesmen. And there was not a trace of joy on the faces of these people, only numbness.

Next, Ding Qi, who had some guesses in his heart, came to the front of the Blue Bird Tribe. Most of the tribal hides are dried fruits, such as walnuts and chestnuts. And among these dried fruits, there was a small pile of red fruits that attracted Ding Qi's attention. The fruit is not big, but it exudes pheromones that make Ding Qi's lips and teeth touch and swallow saliva.

Wild pepper!

I didn't expect the Blue Bird Tribe to collect wild peppers, which is one of Ding Qi's seasoning mouths! Ding Qi also had a few in his hand, which he had picked up when he was tracking down the cannibal tribe, and there were not many in total. He was reluctant to eat it, and was ready to find out the weather conditions of the primitive society before planting, but he didn't expect the Blue Bird Tribe to find so many. It looks like it will be planted in large quantities next year!

He turned his head to look at the goshawk leader:

"Chief, I want this pile of red fruits, how do you think I can exchange them?"

The goshawk leader saw that Ding Qi had taken a fancy to this pile of fruits, and he was not prepared in his heart for the lion to open his mouth widely, and said truthfully:

"I don't know what this fruit is, but when I eat it, I feel poisonous, and the lips of the person who eats it are swollen and enlarged, and the throat hurts, and the whole mouth is like a mouthful of fire, and no one dares to eat it. But he has the advantage that when it snows heavily, when people can't stand the cold, eating it will make it very warm. Since Aragami wants to change, then I'll change two pottery bowls! ”

Ding Qi saw that he was honest, and gave him a positive opinion in his heart, and then said:

"It's called chili, and it's grown in my distant tribe, but I've lost some things, including this chili. I love it, so let's swap this pile of chili peppers for three clay bowls! ”

After speaking, he motioned Ben to bring over the three clay bowls and handed them to the goshawk leader, and the buck took back the pile of red peppers and handed them to the deer who guarded and distributed the goods at the gate, as if he were a stall man.

Tinch looked at the other things, and found nothing special, so he prepared to return to the door and wait for the others to exchange items. But he was stopped by the goshawk leader on the side:

"Aragami, I have the seed of a plant here, but I can't tell what it is. You see what it is, if it's something strange that you're talking about. ”

Ding Qi likes others to give him some strange things, and today he found meteorite and wild pepper, and the collection is already very large. Rather, communication is the only way to promote the growth and development of civilization. Like the US imperialist politicians in the previous life, they engaged in a set of trade stick policies, went against the trend, and sooner or later they were eliminated by the world. Therefore, as soon as Ding Qi heard that there were still good things here in the Blue Bird Tribe, he hurriedly asked:

"What kind of seed is it? Big or small? ”

The goshawk leader turned and took out a spike full of seeds from a leather bag, explaining it to Tinch as he took it.

"I found this plant in a thorny bush, and there were a dozen of them growing around it, about the height of a man. It may have been protected by thorns, so it wasn't eaten by some deer, sheep, etc. This year, when all the tribes went out to collect food for the winter, I noticed that they were all red and looked good, so I took them off at the risk of being pricked! I took a few off and tasted them, the shell was not delicious, and I couldn't remove it, but I saw ......."

The goshawk leader who was talking more and more he felt that something was wrong, and he found that Ding Qi was only staring at the seed in his hand, and he didn't listen to what he said at all, and he was straight ahead, like a wolf staring at his prey, which made people have a feeling of fear inside.
