Shi Xi, who originally thought that this team of people had been killed, was naturally extremely happy that Jiang Liu and the others could return.

And so far, this is also the first indigenous tribe they have found within a radius of more than ten miles from the camp.

Shi Xi didn't care whether the natives were savage or friendly, in his eyes, these people were just important tools for him to complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court.

Stony Brook did not refuse the deal offered by the natives.

And he also agreed to the request of the platoon commander and others, and took in the poor female slaves.

The tribe is full of men, and women can also do some cooking chores.

These women were miserable enough, and although the sailors were all young men with strong spirits, they were not all sperm-brained people, and their compassion made them not behave in a beastly manner towards them.

After negotiating with the natives, Stony Brook agreed to meet with their leader in a few days to discuss the details of the deal.

If you can find out what you're looking for from them, a few deals aren't a problem at all.

If you can find everything at once, you can give them a few weapons.

The news of the return of the river for nearly a month made the native child Qingyang particularly excited.

Follow Jiang Liu like a fart.

This also warmed Jiang Liu's heart.

"Damn, I still know how to be grateful."

Jiang Liu scolded with a smile.

"Brother Jiang Liu, Qi words... I learned. Fast.. Qingyang. ”

Qingyang stumbled and said.

Jiang Liu said: "Learn a fart, you'd better learn it quickly, when you get to Daqi, I can get you a household registration, you can't be underestimated." ”

Qingyang scratched his head, a little bit unable to understand what Jiang Liu meant.

"Lao Tzu is tired now, I want to sleep, you can do whatever you have to do."

As he spoke, Jiang Liu lay down in the hammock, and snored loudly for a moment.

Qingyang stood by the hammock and looked at it, smiled innocently, and left here.

When I returned to the small shack where I was, I saw a few friends of my own clan, who were discussing something curiously, and when I saw Qingyang alive, I immediately surrounded him.

As the eldest of them, Qingyang can be described as an existence equivalent to an elder brother, taking care of them as much as he can.

"Jawbone, a tribesman has come to camp, do you see it?"

Qingyang nodded and said, "Well, I saw it, what's wrong?" ”

"Jawbone, I heard those sailors say that those people seem to like to eat children, is that true, we are very afraid that they will send us there."

A young child, obviously a little scared.

Qingyang touched the child's messy hair and comforted: "They are scaring you, I met Brother Jiang Liu just now, they are just here to trade, and the Qi people will not give us to them to eat."

Also, you try not to say tribal words in the future, you have to call me Qingyang in front of outsiders, there are only a few of us in the same clan here, if you want to live, you have to learn to live in the way of those Qi people.

”

A few of the children were a little dejected and said, "Can we still go back to the tribe?" ”

Qingyang was a little silent, although he seemed to be more honest, but during this time on the ship, he had grown a lot, and he undoubtedly knew more than these children.

He knew very well that he might not be able to return to the tribe in his life.

He didn't answer the children's questions, but said in a deep voice: "Don't think so much, all we can do now is to live, remember, don't anger the sailors, and don't get tired."

”

"Jawbone, we know, we're just a little bit of a tribe."

"The tribe is no longer there, if you really think about the tribe, live well, so that those sailors don't get tired of us, and when we get to them, maybe we can do something for the tribe."

A group of children nodded as if they didn't understand, and the small shack fell silent for a while.

"Let's rest for a while, and I'll have to work after eating."

After appeasing his fellow brothers, Qingyang sat alone outside the shack.

Today, the camp looks like a village, with tents and clearings for the daily training of sailors.

Qingyang doesn't understand battle formations, but that kind of neat and uniform team makes him feel very powerful.

Although the Qi people and the enemy destroyed his tribe, he did not hate the Qi people.

Although this kind of thought seems a little spineless, he knows very well that if he can't let go of his hatred, not only himself, but also the children behind him will not be able to live to the day when they become adults.

In the past few months with the Qi people, he has seen what a magical race the Qi people are, with sharp weapons and endless novel tools.

And it is said that they are far away on the other side of the ocean, where they are called countries, and the population is as large as the stars in the sky.

In the face of such a force, revenge seems so powerless.

Since there is no revenge, you can only live as well as you can.

Although the tribe is gone, the tribe is still alive, and maybe one day they will return to the place where they were born.

In the end, Qingyang's eyes fell on the new women not far away.

The indigenous women, dressed in clothes they had gotten out of nowhere, listened nervously and fearfully to what a sailor was saying.

"Hey! Unlucky woman! ”

Qingyang sighed.

A few days later, Stony Brook personally led a hundred men to the tribe that had placed him under house arrest.

When the heavily armed Qi people appeared in that tribe, the tribe of nearly a thousand people suddenly became quiet and terrifying.

Countless pairs of curious and shocked eyes stared at the Qi people standing in line.

The cold and shining armor, under the sunlight, is so dazzling, it does not look like a person in the world.

Qi Ren's stunning appearance immediately shocked this powerful native.

Shi Xi held the hilt of the knife at his waist in his right hand, and glanced indifferently at the natives who were staring at him.

That's when the man with the mask and exaggerated ornaments appeared in Stony Brook's eyes.

"Metal?"

Shi Xi looked at the glittering ornaments on this person's body with some surprise.

He thought that this tribe had mastered the bronze smelting technology, but when the man got closer, he found that the yellow metal was not bronze, but more like the gold of several tribes in the Qi Kingdom.

Although there is some gold in the Qi country, the Qi court did not include it in the monetary system, and the existence of this thing is only used as a decoration on some items, and the actual value is not large.

Pure gold is softer and less difficult to work with bronze, and Stony Creek speculates that the tribe may have found gold ore from somewhere and processed it into ornaments.

If the other party did not have metal weapons, then the threat to the expedition team would not be too great, even if their tribe was nearly a thousand people, in his opinion, they were just uncivilized savages.
