Chapter 114: Comparing with Other Tribes
The little old man with the horns and the brown witch walked in the front to lead the way, Chen Chao led people to push the wind-powered wheelbarrow behind, and on either side walked two mobile pedestrian drying rack squads with wood on their shoulders, and strong men with stone axes or short spears in front and behind.
While leading the way, the brown witch asked the little old man walking beside him what the people of his former tribe carried with wood? If he's not mistaken, it's the skin of a big black bear, right?
The little old man thought about it, but in fact, he didn't know how to explain this thing, so he casually perfunctory a few times, anyway, he relied on gestures to communicate, and the basic meaning relied on blind guessing.
At this time, he also deeply understood the benefits of the 'language' that his tribe was learning, which was basically comparable to the previous local dialect with only vocabulary.
He used to feel that his tribe's vernacular was only suffering from the lack of vocabulary and imperfection in all aspects.
Now compared with the situation of the Brown Tribe, he has a spectrum in his heart.
It turned out that the newly learned 'language' of his tribe was so much more advanced than that of the Brown tribe.
For example, your tribe basically has a way of expressing everything, and some may not have it yet. Of course, that's just because I haven't learned it yet, and it can't be that there is no such expression.
Most of the vernacular of the Brown tribe is only expressed in some very basic and commonly used things.
And everyone's expression is not the same, and there has not really been a conventional situation.
For example, if you say 'stone', you may think that Brown Witch will send '& just %', but Boss Brown will think that you should send '^*#%¥'. Everyone pronounces things differently, and in the end you can only use 'this' or 'that', or fingers.
So in such a comparison, a certain little old man naturally felt in his heart that the 'language' of his tribe was really good.
Maybe there will be a better language in the future, but now the language of our Tianyuan tribe has at least solved this basic problem, isn't it~~
Seeing that the little old man couldn't say anything, Brown Witch ran to ask the people who were acting as mobile drying racks.
Naturally, I can't ask why, as for the small pit where the animal skin is nitrated, even if Chen Chao doesn't let people deal with it, it will be buried in a few days after a heavy snowfall.
Moreover, the nitrate of animal skins looks simple, but in fact, if you don't know that the most important material is the ashes of plants and trees after burning, it is useless to break your head.
The mountain trails are winding, and the snow is falling from the sky. The scenery is stunning, but it's hard for the group who are hurrying.
Fortunately, it didn't go down after a while. But Chen Chao and the others did not take it lightly, and were very worried that this was a precursor to the coming of a big blizzard.
The group quickened their pace, and finally arrived near the mushroom tribe not long after noon, and successfully found a suitable cave to live in.
The cave was found, but there was no stone nearby that could block the entrance to the cave. Now the Brown Witch can find a place where he can do his best, and along the way, he will want to help the cart, and he will want to help the man who carries the wood, but they are all kindly refused.
Brown Witch found Chen Chao, who was arranging a task, and gestured that he had found the big rock blocking the cave.
Chen Chao glanced at him and didn't say anything, it is estimated that there is still a conversation behind the old silver coin.
After waiting for a while, before he could react, Brown Witch became a little anxious, and continued to gesticulate. That means he can go to the Mushroom Tribe to borrow a big stone first, but give him two more pairs of straw sandals!
Here you are, waiting for yourself here!
Chen Chao waved his hand, go! Aren't they just two pairs of straw sandals? Straw sandals, the big guy of this system has brought more than a thousand pairs~~
But Chen Chao also added an additional condition, that is, straw sandals are OK, but you have to bring the leader of the mushroom tribe and the witch over to us for a meal at night!
And I have to bring two of us with us, and introduce them to the leader of the mushroom tribe and the witch~~
As for the guy you brought, you'll have to stay and help us, or we'll be too busy here.
After seeing Brown Witch nodding his head again and again, Chen Chao sent out Severed Finger Li Nong and his little follower Ban Zhong, both of whom belonged to Qu's Wind Power Unicycle Manufacturing Department, and were also the first few people to learn to build unicycles with Chen Chao.
Of course, he didn't worry about Brown Witch taking his own people to the mushroom tribe and making a joke. He only promised to give him a few pairs of hemp nest straw sandals, and if he went to the mushroom tribe later, he would rob more than a dozen of his own people with the mushroom tribe.
Then he has nearly a thousand pairs of straw sandals...
Therefore, taking hostages and sending two people to assist him is a basic operation~~
After sending the Brown Witch and the other three away, Chen Chao then began to assign tasks.
Because he was worried that there might be heavy snow blocking the mountain in the future, Chen Chao did not choose to visit the mushroom tribe as soon as possible. Instead, they spread out the team to collect food and fuel such as wood.
In addition, it is possible to show their own products to the senior management of the mushroom tribe in the evening, so it is best to take a more sumptuous path for the dinner in the evening.
In this way, more wood and meat are needed. The logging team can be less many, after all, it can be solved nearby. Hunting parties are more troublesome and need to go farther.
But fortunately, the two short men who joined the new addition are not only good hunters, but also very familiar with the environment near the Brown Tribe and the Mushroom Tribe are very familiar, and I believe there should not be too many problems.
Looking at the snowflakes gradually falling in the sky, Chen Chao couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart. Seeing that the snow was about to fall, the hunting team led by Qu had not yet returned.
He closed his eyes slightly, and saw a group of people carrying wild deer or carrying hares walking in the snowflakes, and some of them were carrying pheasants that had been most often seen in the Brown tribe before.
In general, a full load.
Chen Chao was relieved at this time.
The logging team led by Yuzhi was also constantly carrying the freshly processed wood, the bonfire in the cave had been raised, and the snow water on the improvised stove was already making a 'gurgling' sound.
Give a few bowls to the logging team to keep them warm. It didn't take long for the hunting party to return.
As soon as you come back and drop your prey, you can drink a sip of hot boiling water with a warm clay bowl in your hand, which is really very happy.
The straw sandals on their feet were already a little soaked, but fortunately they were still wrapped in two layers of animal skin limbs (socks). After taking it off, carefully put it near the campfire to roast, and after a while, it will be a good pair of hemp nests.
It's just that this group of strong men who were barefoot and roasted the fire didn't have to be roasted for a few minutes, and they were blasted out by Chen Chaoquan to wash their feet with warm water in a clay pot.
Without him, it stinks...
Do you want to cook and eat in the cave later...
So a group of strong men wiped their feet with the snow on the ground at the entrance of the cave, and after wiping the snow, they poured warm water from a clay pot on it. One by one, the facial features are distorted, and I don't know if it's hot or cool~~
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, the sky was getting darker, and the clay pot in the cave was already stewed with hare meat and pheasant.
In the growing snow, the Brown Witch trio also brought back a couple of guests and a large rock.
Chen Chao and the little old man with sheep's horns hurriedly went out to pick them up, and each of them served a bowl of hot chicken soup.
Brown Witch put a bowl of chicken soup into his stomach, and then he eased up. He didn't have the tightly wrapped animal skin clothes of Severed Finger Rinon and his little henchman, Chung. The animal skin on his body was not only not tightly wrapped, but also ran away from the wind at every turn.
Even if you run the wind, your arms and legs must be exposed.
After welcoming all the people into the cave, Chen Chao found that there was an elderly grandmother and a middle-aged woman inside.
Under the backdrop of these two women, the two men standing next to them looked a little inconspicuous.
Not only him, but even the little old man with the horns on his back was taken aback. He felt that it was a very remarkable thing that he could live to this age, and there was a woman here who was older than him.
Chen Chao glanced at the brown witch, that means, don't introduce the introduction?
Brown Witch hurriedly put down the pottery bowl, pulled the eldest grandmother, and pointed at herself, which means that she is a witch like me.
Then he pointed to the middle-aged woman, which meant that she was the successor of Wu.
When she was introduced to the middle-aged woman, she smiled and took a large bag of animal skins from behind her and handed it to the little old man with the horns on his back. Seeing that the little old man took the animal skin bag, she was still talking about something in her mouth.
In the end, Chen Chao and the little old man were introduced to the leader and deputy leader of the mushroom tribe in turn.
Everyone was a little restrained at first, but under the enthusiastic guidance of the Brown Witch, everyone came to a warm hug and a few bowls of hot chicken soup, and the atmosphere quickly eased.
At this time, several people from the mushroom tribe were also following the firelight to carefully look at the small stone basin in their hands.
If you want to pay attention, it must be that you noticed it as soon as you came in just now, and when you received the small stone basin.
Although they felt very curious, they knew very well that they were not here for such a small stone basin this time. It's for the other thing that Brown Witch said, a large stone basin that can be burned on the fire!
