Chapter 396: Moire Flat-Footed Ding

The team did not cover the traces of walking, and even if they did, they could not completely cover it, so it would not take that effort, hundreds of people, and people carrying the tripod with goods, could not leave no traces in the mountains and forests.

After a while, Shao Xuan will arrange some more traps, and the people of Taihe will also help, and their medicine will also make Shao Xuan's arrangement more "ecstatic". As long as the people behind continue to follow the footprints, then continue to "enjoy".

If you can use your skills to deal with the enemy, why use brute force? The people of Yanjiao and the people of Taihe are naturally happy to do so, and they don't need to waste time and manpower to deal with those pursuers, they just need to guard against those who have been ambushed in the forest for a long time, which also greatly reduces their pressure.

Two days later, the number of ambushes had decreased a lot, and there was no one to rob the road for most of the day. After that, you only need to guard against the fierce beasts in the mountains.

And because of Shao Xuan's arrangement several times, the people behind him couldn't catch up. Only occasionally see a flock of scavenging birds screaming and flying through the sky overhead.

Halfway through, I saw Shao Xuan making stone tools, and when he was resting, the people in the team were still in the mood to ask Shao Xuan about the use and production of various stone tools.

I heard Shao Xuan say that because they have very few gold tools, they basically use stone tools, if it was before, everyone would definitely make up a picture of the fierce momentum of holding a boulder and smashing the beast, but after experiencing the events of the past two days, everyone found that the original stone tools can also play a big role, not just the skill of smashing stones.

When there is no gold. The brothers of the other group used all kinds of stone tools to solve the mountain beasts one after another. The brothers of the other team are really violent! I really want to see them when I have the chance. Let's dig deeper.

As for the stones of various hardnesses that Shao Xuan said, many people were confused, because in their opinion, stones all look the same, but they are the generalized sense of face blindness, and they learn the fastest in distinguishing stones.

When the people of Yanjiao and the Tay River returned to the tribe, the other side. In Antiba City, An Yan looked at the dozen or so people standing in front of him, covered in blood and mud, and his face turned green with anger. With a flick of his hand, he slammed the palm-sized copper tripod wine glass in his hand to the ground.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

The scolded man stood there trembling, his head hanging silent. This time there were indeed a lot of people lost, and the continuous traps they encountered were one of them, and they were also robbed by other tribesmen. There are quite a few dead and wounded!

Out of the city of Antigua and Barbuda. The other tribesmen put away their smiling faces, and those who can rob are able to rob with open hands, regardless of whether you are the Six Parts of Antiba or someone else, the immediate interests are the most important.

Because of the trap, many of the people sent out by An Yan were injured a little, and they were robbed while the fire was taken, and more than 100 people were sent out, and finally came back. There were only a dozen or so, how could An Yan not be angry, like being pressed against a big stone in his chest. I was so stuffy that I wanted to vomit blood.

I didn't get the rest of the spar in the Yanjiao people's hands, and I couldn't even grab the copper tripod back!

Why did An Yan easily give away a huge copper tripod as a gift at that time?

One is to pull hatred, and if it is sent out in front of so many people in the free trade zone, there will definitely be more people targeting the trading team of the Yanjiao tribe. can borrow other people's hands to cause trouble for the Yanjiao people, of course An Yan is willing.

And the second reason is to use the copper tripod to slow down the pace of the Yanjiao people. It is definitely inconvenient to carry such a large tripod in the mountains and forests, and it will also leave walking traces for easy tracking.

But the result was like a loud slap on An Yan's face mercilessly.

Bronze is still very rare for the tribesmen, and the casting process is complex, each tripod, especially those big tripods, need to consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but also because of its rarity, from its birth to the present, has always been exclusive to the slave owners, and is owned by the power of the six departments, other people with lower status in the city, there is no ability to have, most people can only use pottery ding.

It is true that An Yan, as a descendant of the person in power, is of course qualified to reward the tripod to others, but to give it to the tribesmen? This An Yan really didn't think about it, even if it was a tripod that failed to be cast, he didn't want to give it directly to the tribesmen, just as a chess piece. Unexpectedly, this chess piece was snatched away!

What was snatched back by the tribesmen, can you expect them to spit it out?

Syllable!

Probably feeling that the copper wine glass was broken, An Yan dropped another beautifully made pottery cup with a very thin body.

"Get out!" Seeing these people standing in front of him, An Yan became angry, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people who were damaged, he still needed to use these people, and he would have dragged these wastes out and cut them down a long time ago!

Next time, when the people of Yanjiao come to the free trade zone of Anticipa City again, he must make those people look good!

It's a pity that An Yan didn't know that the Yanjiao people had already traded with the "Black Bear" and didn't need to run to the free trade zone.

......

When the team of Yanjiao and Taihe returned to the tribe, the weather in the mountains and forests had become significantly cooler, and standing on a high place and looking out, they could see the yellowing leaves in the mountains and forests. It won't be long before those leaves fall off completely, and by then, winter has arrived.

After this outing, the people of the Taihe tribe learned one thing - the little elder of Yanjiao is still less troublesome.

Hard-hitting, he can fight. Playing yin?

Especially the few people who had fought with Shao Xuan at the beginning, they were glad that Shao Xuan didn't trap them at that time, otherwise they would have been angry to death if they were not grinded to death.

After separating from the people of the Tay River, Duo Kang led the group of people and walked towards the tribe with a smile on his face. The big tripod that reflected the golden light was also carried by Duokang, and there was no need to cover it at this time, and the cloth was lifted, revealing the tripod body, which was quite eye-catching.

Looking at Duo Kang, who was eager to jump up and show off with the tripod in front of him, Guangyi pouted and beckoned others to follow.

Walking through the forest, he saw the river on the outskirts of the tribe, and on the other side of the river, the leader Zhengluo led the tribesmen to stand there to meet the trading procession.

The big tripod that Duokang was carrying almost blinded the eyes of the greeters.

Zhengluo's first feeling when he saw Da Ding was disbelief, he closed his eyes and opened them again, Duo Kang was still grinning and carrying the shining Da Ding!

If you don't change something useful, how can you change a big ding and come back?! It's still a deflated one! If it's used to cook things, it's better than the big stone pot left by the ancestors!!

Seeing that Ding's body was unstable, Zheng Luo's complexion was even worse.

"What's going on here?!" asked Zhengluo. If Dokang exchanged the weapon for this tripod, he decided to immediately convene a tribal meeting and remove Dokang from the position of leader.

Duo Kang shook his arm after putting the Ding down, relaxed his muscles, and then said with a smile: "You said this Ding belongs to Shao Xuan." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Shao Xuan's, Zheng Luo's face stiffened, and his questioning tone eased slightly. was about to reprimand Duo Kang, why didn't he persuade Shao Xuan when he changed the ding, so he listened to Duo Kang briefly explain the cause of the incident.

After listening, Zheng Luo put away the dissatisfaction on his face, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Since it was sent by someone, then take it." ”

What is delivered to the door, how can there be no reason?

As a tribal leader, Zheng Luo obviously could think of more, and for the slave owners, this tripod was not something that could be given away at will. He could already guess An Yan's expression by now.

Stealing chickens doesn't make you lose your hands!

Hearing Duo Kang talk about cooperating with the "Black Bear", Zheng Luo laughed so much that his eyes were gone, and he said: "Good! good!"

Zhengluo, who was in a good mood, called Shao Xuan up the mountain and gave him some linen and silk fabrics: "This is when you are out, another team of the tribe went to trade with other tribesmen, I have a lot here, you can take some over." ”

Although the raw materials of textiles such as ramie are coarse, they are cheap and easy to obtain, and everyone uses them more, while silk fabrics are used less, and the slave owners are very fond of those things that are shiny and silky.

Stuffed Shao Xuan with some linen and silk fabrics, Zheng Luo asked about Shao Xuan's transaction again, Duo Kang only briefly said, the details, he still wanted to know more.

After finishing speaking, Zhengluo looked at the ding he brought back.

"The moire flat-footed tripod should be cast by the box. Zhengluo said.

"Box man?" Shao Xuan really didn't know anything about this.

"Well, it used to be the 'Crate' tribe. The box people are good at casting, and later the tribe is scattered, and the box people take the surname of 'Gongjia', and make a living from casting everywhere, and there are many tripods in Amba City that are cast by them. The style of the box people is mainly based on round tripod moire, and in recent years, it is mostly flat-footed. The six cities are now casting tripods, the round tripod is the majority, the square tripod is second, and the flat-footed tripod is the least, of which the round tripod is flat-footed, more than half of it comes from the hands of the box people, plus the box people like cloud patterns instead of animal patterns, so this tripod should be cast by the box people, but for some reason, this tripod actually failed to cast. Zheng Luo looked at the flattened body of Ding, and then looked at Ding's feet, and was puzzled.

If you don't understand, you don't want to, Zheng Luo said to Shao Xuan: "It's good for you to call the shots about this ding, whether you can go back to the furnace to smelt or keep it to cook the soup by yourself." ”

Shao Xuan carried the tripod out of Zhengluo, returned home, and put the tripod in the room where he made stone tools, which was big enough and spacious enough for him to study the ornaments on the tripod.

The words on the ding are a little obscure to read, with a bit of ancient meaning, if it were someone else, they might not be able to read smoothly and could not understand, but Shao Xuan could still understand some of them.

The habits of using the written language here have changed more or less over the past thousand years, and the use and grammar of some words are slightly different. What Shao Xuan learned from those people in the desert was actually the habit of using words here thousands of years ago, which was closer to the ancient method on the tripod.

Shao Xuan wrote all the words on a piece of cloth and studied them slowly in the future.

It's just that when Shao Xuan finished writing those words and looked at the Ding who was standing there crookedly, he always felt that the pattern on the Ding body was a little weird, like a whirlpool, attracting people's attention. (To be continued......)
