70 The end of the great river
"Salt? You say you'll trade salt? Ying Tian saw that Uncle Mu mentioned the salt that Su Mo was thinking about, and he was a little surprised, and immediately interrupted Uncle Mu with words.
Uncle Mu was very excited when he heard the salt, and immediately said, "Yes, we trade salt on the plains, and salt can keep our strength for a little longer when we are hunting." ”
Jiang Dong was stunned, salt? What is that? How come they haven't eaten?
Ying Tian asked, "You said that in winter, the tribes that live near the plains will also trade for a long time, so do the stone salt tribes and snow salt tribes you said also live near the plains?" ”
Uncle Mu didn't expect Ying Tian to ask like this, thought about it, and guessed that the leader of Ying Tian should want to exchange for salt, so he immediately said, "The Shiyan tribe lives near that plain, but the Xueyan tribe doesn't know where they live, and their residence seems to be very secretive. ”
Ying Tian thought about it for a while, and asked Uncle Mu to continue, he wanted to know what else could be traded on the Trading Plains, it was only winter now, they still had time, they could go to the Trading Plains, bring back the salt of the Stone Salt Tribe, and bring back some useful other things casually.
Uncle Mu was stunned for a moment, and continued, "We don't really need things from other tribes, so we don't pay much attention to them, but when we finish trading the salt we need, we will look around, most of the tribes trade in animal skins, some tribes trade in beautiful stones and herbs, some tribes trade in clay pots and baskets they make themselves, and even some tribes trade live beasts, and even some wanderers trade live horns and wild boars......
But I saw that the things they traded, whether it was animal skins or clay pots, or even back baskets, were not as good as the ones I had seen in the dragon tribe.
So I want to ask the leader of Yingtian, where are these things traded by our dragon tribe? ”
Jiang Dong said with some pride in the face of Uncle Mu's inquiry, "Where are these things that our Dragon Tribe went to trade elsewhere, these things are made by our Dragon Tribe itself." ”
As soon as Jiang Dong's words fell, Uncle Mu was a little excited, "These things are actually made by the Dragon Tribe themselves?" If the Dragon Tribe puts these things on the Trading Plains to trade, then they can trade the salt of the Snow Salt Tribe, and it is more than a little bit, and they can also trade a lot of meat, and they don't have to risk hunting at all, but the Dragon Tribe is a little far away from the Trade Plains. ”
Ying Tian's eyes lit up when he heard Uncle Mu's words, and then he thought quickly in his mind, looked at Uncle Mu in front of him and said with some concern, "If you are asked to lead some people to trade on the plain with those back baskets and bamboo baskets now, can you do it?" ”
Ying Tian originally wanted to say that Uncle Mu would lead some of the former Jiang tribesmen to live on the trading plain, and then teach them the method of compilation, but when he thought that these people had just been subdued, he couldn't venture now.
As soon as Ying Tian's words fell, Uncle Mu immediately nodded firmly and said excitedly, "Okay!" Although his body was already very weak, he still wanted to prove that he was useful, and he didn't want to wait for death.
Ying Tian solemnly glanced at the determined Uncle Mu, and was about to promise Uncle Mu to let him lead the team.
Suddenly, Ying Tian thought of a serious problem, looked at the males who were working on the scene, and thought in his heart how these males who were not strong enough could go back and forth between the trading plain and the place of residence, so he asked again, "The place where the Jiang tribe lived before was flooded in the spring, why don't you come to the place where the dragon tribe lives now?" "Is it just because of the big python in the bamboo forest?
Uncle Mu was stunned and hurriedly replied, "A long time ago, we also discovered the place where the dragon tribe lives now, but because of the python in the bamboo forest, we didn't live here. ”
Ying Tian frowned, wondering what danger existed in the closest place to them that he didn't know, he had to ensure that the place where he and Su Mo lived was absolutely safe, and that the people who went out could also be safe, so Ying Tian asked again, "Except for the big python you found in the bamboo forest, where else is there a fierce beast that can't be approached?" Especially between the former residence of the Jiang tribe and the dragon tribe, as well as the dragon tribe or the former residence of the Jiang tribe to the trading plain, what are the dangers of these routes? Or are you in any danger? ”
Seeing Ying Tian ask, Uncle Mu thought for a while and replied, "From the previous Jiang tribe to the current dragon tribe, in addition to encountering pythons in the bamboo forest, sometimes they will encounter wild wolves and wild boars, and sometimes there will be horned beasts, these beasts appear in groups, but they dare not come to the bamboo forest, they only dare to appear in the plains far away from the bamboo forest."
Before us, the clansmen of the Jiang tribe went hunting, and they generally bypassed these places and went to some big forests to hunt some wild beasts.
We have been walking with the Storm Tribe from the former residence of the Jiang tribe to the trading plain, so there are relatively many people, and we have not encountered any danger, but we have been attacked by wild beasts from time to time, and we have encountered some wanderers who have snatched food, but we have not encountered other dangers. ”
Jiang Dong and Jiang Nan had never heard the clansmen say this, they only knew that it was very dangerous to have a big python in the bamboo forest, so don't involve this place, and don't know anything else.
Jiang Nan seemed to have thought of something, and immediately asked Uncle Mu, "But when we set off for the Jiang tribe or came to the dragon tribe with you, we didn't find the wild boar herd and the wild wolf pack, and the horned beast you said, are the horned beasts very fierce?" Why have Jiang Dong and I never met? ”
Ying Tian lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Uncle Mu sighed, "This pack of wild boars and wolves is not something that can be encountered all the time, they may only appear when they are looking for food nearby!"
There is also this horned beast, the two horns on its head are extremely hard, and many of our clansmen have lost their lives under its horns, so many clansmen try to avoid them as much as possible, and dare not hunt them. ”
As soon as Uncle Mu's voice fell, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and then said, "However, it was the first time we migrated along the river and went to the end of the river, it was a boundless river, and the water of that river was salty, and there was a lot of snow salt on the bank of the river, so we were very happy, as long as we lived there, we didn't have to go to the Shiyan tribe or the snow salt tribe to exchange for salt."
So we stayed around there, but not long after we lived, a behemoth appeared in the river, with a mouth that could devour everything, and its teeth were very sharp, and it looked like a fish-beast, but it was much, much bigger than the average fish-beast.
We were fishing in the river when it appeared, and its sudden appearance caused us to lose a lot of people, but as long as we leave the river and run to the shore far away from the river, it will not leave the river to track us like ordinary fish and beasts. ”
