Under the leadership of Chen Chao, everyone walked through the forest, rested on the edge of a small stream, and continued to set off after having some lunch.

After lunch, the crowd could not find a way to cross the creek, so they had to walk a little farther around the stream.

After bypassing the creek, Chen Chao climbed halfway up the mountain with excitement, and finally came to the first stop of the trip, the Brown Tribe.

Of course, the name Brown Tribe was also given to them by Chen Chao. As for the names of their tribes that they haven't thought about yet, if they need to communicate what kind of tribe they are, most of them will tell each other where their tribe is in the direction of their fingers.

The reason why Chen Chao chose this tribe as the first site was mainly because he noticed that there were some sparse palm trees in the woods around this tribe.

It's not much, but it does work.

And this palm tree, to say it, is a good thing.

Its skin (brown skin fiber/leaf sheath fiber has strong tensile resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance,), can be used as rope (old leaves), weaving clothes, brown bandage, carpet, brushes, etc.;

Young leaves can be bleached to make fans and straw hats, of course, there are no bleaching conditions now, but it is estimated that there is no problem in making a straw hat without bleaching.

The unopened buds of palm trees are also called "brown fish", this thing can still be eaten, but Chen Chao has never eaten it, and he doesn't know what it tastes like, whether it is delicious or not.

Even the charcoal of brown bark and petioles (palm plates) has a hemostatic effect, and fruits, leaves, flowers, roots, etc. are also used in medicine.

In general, the palm tree is simply full of treasures.

And it can be made into the two things that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs most at this stage, that is, a coat and a straw hat!

Chen Chao searched all over the vicinity of the Tianyuan tribe, but he couldn't find a suitable material for making a raincoat. When you're away from home, it's a hassle to not have a raincoat. So before it rains or snows, find a way to equip it.

Moreover, whether it is animal skins or straw sandals and other items on the wheelbarrow, it needs to be protected by another layer of protection, and a layer of palm bark must be spread on top of it at that time.

So this simple version of the raincoat, the coat, is essential.

As for the straw hat, the grass rope produced in the tribe can also be weaved, but it will be softer, and the rainproof effect is not as good as this. The main point is that the grass rope is particularly wasted. Knitting a straw hat, you can almost make two pairs of straw sandals.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs basically lacks nothing but things to protect against the rain. Therefore, Chen Chao chose the Brown Tribe for the first stop.

At the very least, they must make up for their shortcomings.

Otherwise, whether it rains or snows lightly, the things in the car will probably be a little troublesome.

Moreover, the Brown Tribe is only a medium-sized tribe in the early 100s, whether the other party is worried about the goods or food in our hands, he also has to weigh the whole ten well-armed and well-equipped strong laborers on our side.

Of course, at this time, animal skin clothes, stone axes, short spears, hemp nest straw sandals and other equipment, as well as the goods on the wind-powered wheelbarrow pushed by themselves, are indeed well-equipped rich and handsome among the primitive people.

When he arrived near the Brown Tribe, the sun was about to set, so Chen Chao was not in a hurry to scare people at night.

Going at this time will not only make people think that you are not a good person, but it is also not easy to carry out the things that follow.

In the middle of winter, it's almost dark, and if more than a dozen strong men suddenly appear outside the tribe, who doesn't think much about it?

At that time, the other party suddenly came to a group of people in order to defend themselves, and it is difficult to say whether it is a robbery or a transaction, after all, this place is someone else's territory.

So why don't you visit the Brown Tribe early tomorrow morning, so that the other party can be mentally prepared and be able to decide things more rationally.

After deciding to visit the Brown Tribe tomorrow in broad daylight, everything else will be the same.

Find a suitable cave for a place to rest at night. After arranging their own affairs, Chen Chao took Severed Finger Li Nong and the grass armor from the killer five-person group to investigate the situation near the Brown Tribe first.

The three of them lightly came to the woods not far from the Brown Tribe, where the Brown tribe lived in a large cave, surrounded by a forest that was not dense.

Chen Chao took a closer look, and in the vicinity of the Brown Tribe, he found no small river water source similar to the Tianyuan Tribe.

At least within the sight of the three of them, there was no similar water source, but it was not ruled out if it was frozen. After all, there is snow everywhere that hasn't completely melted, and there's no way to tell whether it's land or a river under the snow.

As the sun set, there was no movement at the mouth of the cave of the Brown Tribe. It's too far away to hear any sound coming from inside.

The three of them squatted in the bushes for half an hour before they saw a few people who were booing in groups come out of it.

There are only simple animal skins on their bodies, but they are not like them, the distance is a bit far, and the light is not very good, and Chen Chao can't quite tell what kind of material they are wearing.

I saw that after several people at the entrance of the cave were resolved, they shivered at the same time, and then went back to the cave together.

The three of them waited a little longer, not waiting for the second wave to come out before it was almost dark. Chen Chao had no choice but to give up, so he took the other two people back, and the three of them also picked up a full hug of wood on the way.

Back in the cave, the campfire had already been raised. The clay pot on the simple stove also boiled with freshly boiled snow water.

Chen Chao hurriedly asked the little old man to fill a few bowls of hot water, in this winter, he was hairy in the snow for an hour, it was really a crime, and his hands and feet were almost numb from cold.

After a bowl of hot water, Chen Chao felt a little relieved. The little old man put the jerky and chestnuts in the pot while directing the other people to pay careful attention to the wild rat meat in the pot.

The wild rat was caught in the forest by two people who didn't have a cart today, and they directly brought two litters of big mice. All of them have fat heads and big ears, and they don't eat less in winter.

Later, under the guidance of Chen Chao, he took out a lot of nuts from the rat's nest.

It just so happened that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that gave two days of chestnut stew broth hit the tooth sacrifice~

So today's dinner at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is extraordinarily rich, in addition to the several broths that I used to eat, there are also rat broth and roast rat meat, etc., and each person can share a large mouse and a dozen nuts on average.

After eating today's dinner, Chen Chao briefly communicated with the little old man about the specific situation he had just seen, and then continued his map plan with charcoal on the wooden board.

After Chen Chao used charcoal to set the approximate position on the wooden board, the little old man took the wooden board and began to chisel out the pits with sharp stones little by little by the light of the fire.

Today's vigil has changed a batch, yesterday's second night vigil is the first batch today, and the others are rotated in turn.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still got up early in the morning, and after having breakfast, Chen Chao first took Severed Finger Li Nong and the Killer Five-member Cao Jia to take a look near the cave entrance of the Brown Tribe, and only after confirming that there were already people around did they come back and call a large army to push the wind-powered cart together.

When Chen Chao and the others appeared at the entrance of the cave of the Brown Tribe with six wheelbarrows, the first thing they received was not a warm welcome, but an encirclement of more than 30 men with sticks and stones.

And at this time, Chen Chao saw clearly what they were wearing. The men were wearing the bark of palm trees.

It seems that the people of the Brown tribe have learned to peel off the bark of palm trees and drape them over their bodies.

When there is no animal skin to protect from the cold, the bark of the palm tree may not be able to protect against the cold, but it can still block some wind, and in general, it is better than nothing.

They make threatening shouts in their mouths, waving sticks or stones in their hands, or making some gurgling sounds, presumably in the vernacular of their tribe.

In fact, it was not these strong men who first discovered Chen Chao, but a few women who came out to pick snow with stone basins.

When several women saw so many strange men coming to the entrance of the cave, they were so frightened that they didn't even want the heirlooms ——— stone basins in the tribe, and ran back to the cave as soon as they slipped away.

It didn't take long for several men with wooden sticks to run out. More of them ran out bare-handed, and the stones in their hands were still temporarily picked up on the ground.
