Sunset

Breeze

Endless green plains

And the silent mountain paths

There were also people who were hurrying down the path

"Hey - the trade team is back, the trade team is back. The cheerful shout suddenly sounded, instantly detonating the emotions in the cave, and many people rushed out, especially those single dogs who didn't have girls yet, and they rushed to the front line.

Calculating the time, the tribe's trade party has been out for twenty-five days, and it is about to be autumn, and it should be back, but fortunately, it is back before the autumn comes.

Su Ming, together with the sacrificial Hui and the leader Lie, counted the number of returning trade teams at the entrance of the cave, one, two, three...... Eighty-five returned, the same number as at the time of departure, without diminishing.

The leader immediately called the one ear who had led the group back, and with his affirmation, they finally determined that this time the tribe had not lost a single person in the outing trade tribe, and this was the fifth time in history. You know, the tribe's trade has lasted more than a hundred times, and there have been no casualties five times, which shows its preciousness.

The trade went very smoothly, and there were no large herds of wild beasts on the way, and a few small lone predators were encountered, and they were also killed by the tribal warriors for everyone's rations.

This time there was one more tribe than originally planned, and that was the Grass Tribe, and they discovered a new medicinal herb. Using its juice on an axe or spear to attack a beast can make the beast weak or even unconscious, and the meat it hunts can be used with confidence.

This is to take out the clay pot in one ear to entertain them, and conquer their stomachs with delicacies. At first, they were going to trade the clay pot with food, but Taner had already made a plan to exchange the clay pot for a woman, and he was even more reluctant to exchange it.

The Grass Tribe was a small tribe that lived in a narrow canyon with a total population of less than 200 people, so it was not feasible to rob it by force.

It was only when they were about to leave that they made up their minds to trade the newfound herb, hemp grass, and eventually a deal was struck, and both parties got what they wanted.

So the women who were exchanged back were a few fewer than originally planned, and the trade with the rock tribe only brought back thirteen girls. This is still on the way to the rock tribe, with the super strength of the trade team to keep hunting, only to accumulate enough materials for trading.

Otherwise, they may not be able to exchange enough girls without the clay pot, but the girls who originally planned to cooperate with Su Ming, Baiya, and Heier in advance can only cancel and wait for next year's deal.

After talking to them, I also learned that these thirteen girls are not all from the rock tribe. Because the Yan tribe is not a big tribe, the population of the whole tribe is more than 300 people, and they live in a rocky area.

Therefore, except for two of them from the Yan tribe, the other girls were obtained by the Yan tribe from other tribes through trading, and they were traded to the fire tribe less than ten days after they arrived in the rock tribe, and they earned a difference.

On the way back, Shan Er led the team to the most important stop, the Water Tribe, which was a large tribe of more than 800 people.

Because they controlled the salt trade of all the tribes in this area, they were able to feed more than 800 tribes by increasing the harvest of food.

The price of salt has always been high, but in the cold winter, there is no animal blood to replenish the salt of the body, so it is necessary to use the salt produced by the water tribe. So if you don't trade, it's not okay, it's a naked monopoly to sell at a high price, but you still have no choice, you have to buy.

On call, only the Water Tribe can build a ship, and drive the boat to a distant tribe to bring salt back. But fortunately, although the water tribe has set the price very high, it is also within the affordability of the surrounding tribes, otherwise there would have been a tribal war a long time ago.

So in general, this outgoing trade not only achieved the original goal set by the tribe, but also had a big surprise, that is, the magical hemp grass.

After learning about the function and growth environment of hemp grass, Hui directly took the hemp grass for himself, and did not allow anyone to approach and damage the hemp grass, not even Su Ming. Hui has to conduct research and artificial cultivation of hemp grass, so each hemp plant is valuable until it is successfully cultivated.

As for the cultivation of herbs, Hui Ke is very experienced, just like the five-leaf vine that is often used to treat trauma in the tribe, it is through his research experiments that he found out the method of artificial planting, which ended the history of searching for five-leaf vine all over the mountains.

Now he can take out a large number of five-leaf vines and trade them on a large scale to bring what the tribe needs, so he is the only person in the tribe who is suitable for cultivating hemp grass.

......

Whoa, whoa—

A deafening roar came from the sky, piercing through the rocks of the mountain and bypassing the obstacles in front of it, reaching the ears of everyone in the cave clearly, and although it was heard every year, it was also shocked every time.

The flying lizards are coming!

Su Ming came to the edge of the cave and looked at the sky, he clearly saw that there were two flying lizards, like two medium-sized passenger planes, chasing each other in the sky as flexibly as combat power.

They should not be one male and one female, because the one flying in front of them was already injured, and the blood was constantly falling, raining down on the earth.

They were also very fast, and in a short time they passed above the cave of the Fire Tribe, and their wings brought a huge wind, blowing down the grass on the edge of the cave to the ground, and then the area around the cave entrance was stained red with blood, and the strong smell of blood invaded the entire cave.

We have to move out of here, and now that the flying lizards have arrived, more wild beasts will come, and the smaller beasts will be driven away.

Here, the tribe does not yet have the ability to hunt those wild beasts, even if it stands there, you have no way to break its defenses, and if it collides slightly, it will either die or be maimed.

The tribe was soon mobilized, and the men of the hunting party began to carry stones and began to seal the mouth of the cave, while the rest of the people collected materials such as animal skins, plant tubers, jerky, salt, pottery, etc., and began to transfer them to the other side of the cave.

Everyone was doing their job and began to move, but it was the new members who had just come to the tribe and had not settled in for a few days, and now they were about to start moving again.

Su Ming was arrested by Hui and asked to carry those precious herbs with Bai Ya, Hei Er, and a few others.

Su Ming, in particular, was specially responsible for carrying the dozen or so hemp plants by Hui, which were all planted in clay jars filled with fertile soil.

And it's a clay pot!
