Chapter 149: Tribes on the Snow Mountain
Little by little, the two climbed upwards.
During this period, the rock wall crumbled and collapsed several times, and almost fell.
When the sunset rose, the two finally climbed to a gentle place.
Ye Xi stretched his arms, stood on the flat ground, and then turned around and pulled a handful of mink.
The two stood on the ground and looked around.
It is a large area of flat land, covered with dense vegetation. Contrary to their imagination, there are many animals moving here, such as goats grazing leisurely, red pandas scurrying around, and even gorillas hanging from the trees.
At this time, under the afterglow of the setting sun, it is as quiet as a paradise.
To their surprise, not far from them was a man in a sheepskin coat who was kneeling on the ground, burying his head in the dirt. When he found something, he grabbed it with both hands and pulled it out with all his might.
It was an earthy yellow strip about 10 centimeters long and the thickness of a finger.
The man wiped the object with his fingers and stuffed it into the leather pouch, then stood up.
Then he saw Ye Xi and them.
Look at each other.
Ye Xi and Mink watched as the man's mouth opened wider and wider, and he took a few steps backwards one after another, and then jumped up exaggeratedly and ran behind him.
As he ran, he shouted frantically: "Father, uncle, chief, there are two people from outside, come quickly!!"
The man ran towards the woods, and along the way, countless goats and red pandas were frightened and fled, and the man quickly disappeared into the depths of the woods.
Ye Xi and Mink looked at each other.
It didn't take long.
Hula, a large group of people in sheepskin with spears ran out quickly.
Ye Xi and Mink pulled out their bone knives.
Although these men were armed with spears, they did not attack immediately, but stood by vigilantly, watching them.
Ye Xi glanced at it.
Most of them wore wool vests and woolen fur skirts, and only a few of them had totem patterns on their chests from the open vests. But he couldn't see the flame pattern in the center of the totem pattern, and he couldn't tell how many levels of warriors these people were.
But judging from the aura on their bodies, it shouldn't be very powerful.
The man at the head wears exaggerated horns on his head and many horn beads around his neck, which is different from other people's attire, and looks special.
He stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"
Ye Xi withdrew the bone knife with a smile on his face: "Hello, we are people from the mountain, we just passed through here, and there is no malice." ”
Ye Xi had a handsome face, and he smiled slightly at this time, which was difficult to arouse hostility.
The big man with sheep's horns softened his face a little, but he was still a little vigilant, looked at the placket of Ye Xi and Mink, and found that there seemed to be a totem pattern: "You two are warriors?"
Ye Xi simply tore open the placket of his clothes, revealing the totem pattern: "Yes, we are warriors of the Tushan tribe. ”
The big man was taken aback when he saw Ye Xi's flame pattern mark, and blurted out, "You are a second-level warrior!"
Immediately, his face became a little nervous, and the people behind him also became nervous, clenching the spears in his hands and aiming them at them.
Ye Xi looked at their faces and knew in his heart, it seemed that the highest among these people was only a first-level warrior.
Mink took a step forward and said coldly: "Put down your spears, we don't want to fight you, we just passed through here." ”
The big man with sheep's horns opened his mouth and was about to say something, but at this time, he saw Ye Xi's face change, suddenly pulled out the dagger on his waist, threw his arm away, and threw it at them with force.
The dagger whirled, whistling towards them with the sound of breaking wind.
Ye Xi's movements were too sudden, and no one expected them.
Poof.
The sound of a knife cutting into the flesh.
By the time they reacted, the dagger had already stabbed its target.
But there was no screaming.
The men turned their heads in astonishment, only to see that the bone knife had not stabbed any of them in the body, but had been inserted into the body of a cheetah.
And this cheetah was only a meter away from one of the small men.
This is clear at a glance.
This cheetah was silently ambushing in the rear, and when he saw the opportunity, he was about to pounce on people, but he was killed by Ye Xifei's dagger.
So Ye Xi didn't want to attack them, but saved their clansmen.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
The big man with the horns on his head first put down his spear, dragged the rescued little man out, walked up to Ye Xi and them, and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving our people, the warriors of Tushan." ”
"Ye, don't thank you soon!"
The little man named Ye thanked him awkwardly, obviously not used to doing such things.
The strong man with sheep's horns said: "My name is Zimeng, I am the chief of the Gu tribe, now that the sun is setting, if the two guests from afar don't mind, go to our tribe for one night, and make sure you eat and sleep well!"
Ye Xi and Mink glanced at each other.
Ye Xi saw that Zimeng's eyes were sincere, and after thinking about it, he agreed: "Then thank you." ”
Mink is headed by Ye Xi, so naturally he will not object.
Since Ye Xi rescued the person who called Ye, the attitude of these people from the Qi tribe has changed greatly, and they are very warm and friendly to them, and even touch the Mai clothes on Ye Xi's body from time to time.
At this time, the sackcloth on his body was not as white and flawless as it was when he first left the tribe. Mai was scratched in the grass of the sword, stained with blood during the battle, stained with grass clippings because of rolling on the grass, and even rubbed a lot of ash when she had just climbed the rock.
But these people of the tribe were amazed as if they had seen some kind of treasure, and wondered what it was made of.
Ye Xi told them: "This is Mai, which is made of a plant called hemp. ”
Ye's eyes lit up: "Hemp, what kind of plant is that, do we have it here, can you do it, can you teach us?" he asked again and again.
Ye Xi paused and said, "I just came here, I don't know if you have any hemp here." And this is not done by the people of our tribe themselves, only the people of the big tribe will do this. ”
In fact, Ye Xi doesn't know how to weave cloth, the principle of weaving cloth is actually very simple, similar to weaving mats and the like, that is, the threads are shuttled and intertwined, and the more they are knitted, the more they become cloth.
It's just that this technology is currently only in the possession of the Kurosawa tribe in the Black Ridge Mountains, and it is monopolized by them, and the people of Kurosawa are also proud of this Mai craft. If Ye Xi teaches Tu Shanren, it will be equivalent to slapping the face of the Kurosawa tribe and robbing Kurosawa's business. And if the Kurosawa tribe is unhappy, Tu Shan will suffer.
If the Tushan people don't teach, there is naturally no need to teach the tribe in front of them.
Ye Xi and the others chatted while following them to a cave.
The cave was dug out of a black rock wall with climbing vines and a high fence made of wood in the open space outside.
It looks serene and serene.
There were two people in the fence drying something on the ground.
Ye Xi glanced at it, these finger-thick earthy yellow things were the first people they saw digging up.
Seeing that the chief had brought two strangers over, the two men were visibly stunned.
Zimeng explained to Ye Xi: "Our tribe is remote, and there are very few strangers who come over, so I was so shocked to see you. ”
Ye Xi nodded in understanding.
The people of the tribe were very welcoming, and slaughtered sheep in the evening to entertain them. A large pot of soup was also cooked.
This kind of soup was boiled with that earthy yellow thing, and Ye Xi could see clearly, it turned out that this earthy yellow thing was nothing else, it was Cordyceps, but this Cordyceps was bigger and longer than he had seen in his previous life.
Zimeng said enthusiastically: "If you drink this, people are not easy to get sick, and their strength is greater!"
Ye Xi smiled, picked up the soup pot and drank it slowly.
The people of the tribe became very hospitable, and when they saw that the two of them had eaten up a sheep, they roasted another one for them, and when they had finished eating, they roasted it again, and it was not finished until their stomachs bulged.
The mink was a little strange, why were all the people outside here, not a single woman, so he casually asked, "Why are there no women?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was stagnant, and the eyes of all the people of the Qi tribe looked at them vigilantly again.
