The determination of the Carving Flute tribe has given Zhuang Niu a lot of expectations in his heart, and it has also given the tribe one more neighbor and one more friend. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the next few days, Bihu did not go out, but stayed in the tribe to make a bow. His statement is that the people of the Eagle-flute tribe are all good at using bows, and not having a good bow is a waste of these people's talents. In fact, it is not known if he wants to attract the people of the Diaodi tribe through these good bows, doing this kind of thing is beneficial and harmless, anyway, Wang Chuan will not break him.

Everyone was looking forward to the return visit of the Carving Flute tribe, but the next wave of visitors from the tribe was beyond everyone's expectations.

The tribe now has a few adults left behind or patrolling around. On that day, the tribe had just gone to a salt mine, brought back a lot of salt ore, and mobilized all the tribe to boil salt. After the afternoon, the patrol found a group of people on the ice of the river, and I don't know when a group of people came.

Zhuang Niu thought that someone from the Eagle-flute tribe was coming, and ran out quickly, but after a glance from a distance, he stopped.

Wang Chuan looked at it in the mist of boiling salt, and thought that a car was driving over on the river, but the confusion of time and space in an instant made his tears almost fall. When I looked closer, I noticed that someone was pulling a canoe-like thing on the ice of the river, and it looked like a car. It dazzled him.

The style of the visitor is very different from that of the carved flute. Although they were also dressed in animal skins, they wrapped their whole bodies in animal skins, tied them with something, and only showed their faces. About ten people appeared on the ice, but there were eight long stone spears pointed at the sky, giving people a feeling that they should not be taken lightly.

Wang Chuan asked the tribesmen to prepare for battle, but he didn't let them rush out. The people who came were also extremely cautious, and they did not leave when they came to the river. Then only an unarmed woman walked towards the tribe with a fawn in her arms. Walking a few hundred meters away from the tribe, he put the deer in a conspicuous place and slowly retreated.

These visitors already made the tribesmen curious, and the visitor's approach made the tribesmen even more confused. Everyone remained vigilant, and some boldly rushed out and picked up the fawn, and then a bunch of people surrounded the fawn and watched. It was a normally hunted fawn, and the crowd didn't see anything from it.

Wang Chuan saw from the deer that the fatal wound was an arrow wound rather than a spearhead wound. At the sound of the bark command, the bark led the men quietly out of the fence, and soon replied that there were four more men with bows and arrows, mostly in the woods by the river.

Bihu carried a bow on his back and held a spear, looking vigilant but looking lively, wanting to see what Wang Chuan would do. He found that Wang Chuan never seemed to know something, and always wanted to test Wang Chuan at any time to win back a little face for his well-informed self.

Wang Chuan pulled him out of the crowd and said angrily: "People show that they are here to trade, you are the most experienced in dealing with people in the tribe, do you still want to see the excitement?" Why don't you ask the other party about it? ”

Bihu was careful to be seen through, and his face turned red. It seems that if you want to stump Wang Chuan, you have to think of other ways. He pulled the two of them and was about to go out, but Wang Chuan stopped him: "Put down the iron spear and change it to the stone spear." ”

It's not too much to call iron a treasure in this era. The other party's origin is unknown, and his temperament is unknown, so if he sees something good and comes to rob it, it will cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, if the treasure of iron is not disclosed for the first time, it may be able to play an unexpected role in the future.

You can't bring something like an iron spear, and it's no problem to bring a machete wrapped in animal skin for self-defense. In case of a conflict in the province, the tiger capsized in the gutter.

Bark and the others were ready to go out to answer at any time with weapons, but Wang Chuan took a wound crossbow and carried a dagger, and the naughty child generally followed behind the three of Bihu. This is the first time that an outsider in the tribe really doesn't know the details, and Wang Chuan is more curious than anyone else. The other party does not have many people, and it should not be dangerous to put on such a deal. Archers hiding in the woods should only be protecting themselves.

Walking closer, Wang Chuan saw that there were eleven people who had come to the river. The canoe they pulled was a large hollow stake, which was supposed to be used for sledding. It was covered with fur prey, and there was a man sitting in the fur pile. The man was dressed in a smooth, thick bear skin, with a long swarthy face, and a messy beard, and it was impossible to distinguish him from the pile of fur.

Wang Chuan also carefully found that among the other ten people outside the canoe, eight men were dressed extremely thick and warm, while two women were thinner and stood far away from the canoe.

A few people were still far away, and the person sitting in the pile of furs stood up early, and before he could speak, he laughed loudly: "The winter bear from the Ransom Salt Clan is not invited, please forgive me." ”

His language is not much different from when Bihu first came, and it should be regarded as the accent of this area. To explain his name and the name of the tribe, he patted the bear skin on his body. He also took out a small bag of salt in animal skins for everyone to see and try, saying that his tribe sells salt, and he and others also come to sell salt. It's almost the same as ransom salt or salt infusion.

Winter Bear made sure that everyone could understand what he said, and he made a lot of introductions. He said that his tribe would have to travel for more than ten days in the lower reaches of this river, and that his tribe had always sold salt to other tribes in exchange for meager meat to survive, and traded with any tribe around it, etc. From the tribes he introduced, Wang Chuan only heard a familiar name from the Vulcan tribe.

When he greeted Bihu and the others, he asked the people around him to take a few steps back to show that he had no malicious intent. He was very talented as a businessman and looked at Bihu and the others from head to toe, and even Wang Chuan, who followed behind him like a naughty boy, did not let go. When he saw the crossbow on Wang Chuan's waist, he looked at it twice, and then handed the salt bag in his hand to Wang Chuan and asked him to taste it too.

It seems that this is a well-informed man, in line with his own words, selling salt everywhere.

Wang Chuan tasted the salt, with a smell of sea, which should have the same origin as the salt that Bihu brought last time. It takes ten days to walk downstream, and I have probably just reached the confluence of the Yeyuan River and the Taijiang River. It seems that their salt is not homegrown, but is sold from further afield.

Bihu asked, "We haven't traded with you, how do you know about our tribe?" ”

Seeing Bihu's wariness, the Winter Bear took a tattered crocodile boot from his sleigh canoe and said, "We saw this when the river was not frozen. We felt that the tribe that could make such boots must be very rich. You can exchange a lot of supplies with us. We came up the river when it froze. ”

Wang Chuan recognized at a glance that they were the tribe's crocodile leather boots. Not surprisingly, this should be the one on the tooth wound. When Bihu threw his tooth wound into the river, one of his boots didn't come off. Smart people can indeed see a lot from the knife work, needlework, and shoe making ideas of this boot. After all, the technology of cutting leather with an iron knife and threading with an iron needle may be the only one in the world.

As for the idea of making shoes, it is even more unique, like the winter bear, who dares to travel for more than ten days in winter, except for him, everyone else is wrapped in animal skins and tied tightly with rattan. Winter Bear's boots were made of cowhide and other things like crocodile boots, but Wang Chuan saw that the soles of his boots had worn out. They have apparently not succeeded in copying them yet.
