Chapter 715: I'm from the Seaside
The river is getting closer and closer to the date of completion, and Shao Xuan is almost staring over there, seeing what else needs to be changed, and what should be added must be added quickly, otherwise once the river is opened, it will be much more difficult to change it again.
As for the movement of that pterodactyl, as long as it doesn't go up the mountain and doesn't attack the people of Yanjiao, Shao Xuan won't care about it for the time being, after all, his time is also tight.
When everyone is not paying attention, those dead leaf birds are getting rid of their original temperament day by day and begin to become weird.
But those Shao Xuan didn't know, all he knew was the movements of the pterosaurs, the dead leaf birds, Shao Xuan thought that there would be no big deal if the people with the flame horns stared at them.
Just two days before the completion of the river, Shao Xuan was drawing some defensive tools that needed to be built, when someone ran to him.
Shao Xuan thought that something had happened on the pterosaur's side, but he didn't expect that the person who came to find him said, "There is a stranger coming, and the leader said that if you are interested, you can go over and have a look." ”
"Stranger?" the stranger meant either from a strange tribe or from the other side of the sea, but since Gui Yan asked people to come to him, it was certainly not an ordinary thing.
Shao Xuan temporarily put aside the matter here and walked to the headquarters. When he crossed the stone bridge, he found that there were some logs tied to the stone bridge, and the wood used to make the felling wood had not been seen by Shao Xuan here, and there were things similar to sails on the raft, but they were not cloth, but some leaves were made of staggered leaves.
There were some ornaments on the wood, and when he saw one of the ornaments, Shao Xuan's eyes froze, and after taking a closer look, he probably knew the reason why Gui Yu was looking for him.
The ornament on the wood felling is a small snail, and the growth pattern and color of the snail do not look like those found in the river. More like, something in the sea!
Someone from the sea?
Looking at the location where the wood felling stayed, Shao Xuan asked the people next to him, "Are they coming from downstream?"
"Yes. I heard the people on the other side of the stone bridge say that it is like this. The warrior looked around as he spoke, and then whispered, "It seems that those people have brought a lot of things." There are also shell coins. ”
Shell coins?
Because of the medicinal properties of some seashells and their rarity, in many places, they are also used as one of the currencies of trade.
If those people came from the desert area, Shao Xuan would not be so surprised, most of the shell coins popular in the inland were passed from there, and the reason why the rain tribe was able to have so many shell coins was to make money from them as a middleman.
It's just that after the situation on the other side of the desert changed. Coupled with the impact of the catastrophe of heaven and earth, there are now fewer and fewer shellfish coins popular in the inland, and there have been speculations from the far-reaching team that came to the trading area that the tribes by the sea have either been wiped out or have migrated, anyway, they listened to who said that they led the team to walk over there, and they didn't see the people by the sea. There are no new shell coins flowing out of there.
It's just that, after all, the sea doesn't exist only in one direction. Shao Xuan had already said that if the Yanhe River went down, he would definitely be able to see the sea, but the last time he went out with the fleet, he wanted to come back after seeing the sea, but he didn't expect to return early because of Caesar's eyes. I couldn't go any further.
Now, you can see tribes coming from the seaside downstream.
Shao Xuan didn't tell his guess directly to others, the people who came from the beach also brought shellfish coins, and this information would cause those traveling teams to think about it.
"How many of them came, and where are they now?" asked Shao Xuan.
"There seem to be about fifty of them. Their raft did not stop until it reached the edge of the stone bridge, and was taken ashore by our men, but when they came ashore, more than half of them had fainted and were now being taken up the hill. ”
Only fifty people?
I'm afraid that the other people are all lost due to accidents on the way here.
When Shao Xuan went up the mountain, he also heard people in the tribe talking, every time he saw someone from a new tribe, the tribe would always trigger a discussion for a while, everyone had different beliefs, different customs, and different dresses...... There are too many differences, and they are all topics they discuss.
"I heard those people have horns on their heads!"
"What a horn, that's the horn of wearing!"
"Is that really a horn? How come I've never seen that kind of horn? It doesn't look like a horn......"
Shao Xuan listened to the discussion of those Yanjiao people, and he was puzzled.
Horn?
Gui Gully arranged those people on the mountain to receive the outside of the place where the people fell outside, which was relatively large, with rooms and beds, etc., and the people of the Yu tribe were arranged here before.
When Shao Xuan entered, he found that Gui Yan and Gui Ze were both there, and the two retired old witches were also there, Gui Yan was talking to a person lying on the bed, that person was excited, he looked very tired, and he didn't fall down, he was black and thin, and there were many injuries on his body, and the accent was relatively heavy, probably because the sea was too far away from the center, and there were no tribesmen over there, and his speech began to have his own characteristics, so it was more difficult for Gui Yan to communicate there, and he spoke slowly.
On a table next to it was something resembling horns, which were probably the "horns" worn by the people in the tribe, but they were not actually horns, but a kind of snail in the sea.
Seeing Shao Xuan coming in, Gui Yu asked the wounded man to rest first, then walked out of the room and motioned for Shao Xuan to come with him.
Those people occupied six rooms, but there were many rooms here, and Gui Yan took Shao Xuan to a room farther away from there.
"What tribe are they from?" asked Shao Xuan.
Gui Yan's face was complicated, he glanced at Shao Xuan, and said helplessly: "I don't know." ”
Seeing Shao Xuan's doubts, Gui Yan explained, "I didn't hear what they said clearly. ”
Even if you listen to and guess in a sentence, you can only listen to the general meaning, and when those people are excited, the speed of speech becomes faster, and Gui Yan can't understand what they are saying.
"However, there should be people in their team who speak better, but now most of them are in a coma, and the rest of these people are just holding on and not closing their eyes because of vigilance, but after Gui Ze gave them the medicine, their attitude was obviously much better, and it seemed that there was nothing to say, their emotions were more complicated, let's say they were excited and happy, and they were very guarded. Of course I knew that this should have been a normal reaction, but Ah Xuan, you don't know, the way they looked at us, it was very strange, which people from other tribes had never shown. ”
Thinking of something, Gui Yan took out a piece of shell, "There are a lot of things they have brought, there are beautiful stones, and this extremely rare shell coin. No, it's not the same as the shellfish coins used to be, they haven't been polished, and there's even rotten flesh stuck to them. ”
Shao Xuan took a closer look, he had learned from Yang Sui how to distinguish valuable shell coins before, some shells looked beautiful and seemed to be very valuable, but in fact they had no medicinal value at all, they could not be used as shell coins, and they could not deceive insiders. And some seem inconspicuous, but they can be exchanged for more things from some people who know the goods.
At this time, the shell taken out by Gui Yu not only has a very bright pattern, which is in line with the preferences of some people who are more concerned about color and texture, but also belongs to the category of those with medicinal value.
"These things are enough to become shell coins, and even better than the quality of those shell coins in the past. Shao Xuan said.
"That's true, but strangely enough, those people don't seem to value it very much. You know, if you need to trade supplies, you're going to protect them well, but those people don't. What they value is a big shell. ”
"Big shells?"
"Yes, I've had the big shell moved to a room, and the people in that team who haven't fallen yet, are standing next to the big shell. I can feel that there's someone inside that big shell!" )
