Chapter 179: What to exchange

Shao Xuan gave Lao Hao medicine, and it was the herbs he prepared himself and picked during the rest of the long journey.

Lao Hao's grandson looks like he is only about six years old, but he is actually almost eight years old, relatively thin, sick from a cold, has taken medicine, and is sleeping.

Shao Xuan also had some physique-enhancing herbs brought from the tribe, and gave them to Lao Hao, "These medicines, totem warriors can use them directly, when you drink them, put less herbs at a time, but put more water." ”

People who have not awakened the power of the totem, just like those children in the Yanjiao tribe, are relatively weak, and drinking some of these medicines can also make them feel better, at least the resistance can be stronger.

&n.[m]bsp;“ Actually, I also have some herbs here, you can bring them, although you are a totem warrior, but the totem warrior also has injuries, and those herbs are used well. Lao Hao asked his wife to wrap some herbs for Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan looked at it, helped them chop some firewood, cut some trees from the mountain, moved some stones, and helped them repair the house, and when they finished tidying up, it was already dark.

The lamb leg that the Feng tribe had exchanged for roasted and cooked some wild vegetable soup, Shao Xuan and Lao Hao's family finished eating it before they got up and left.

Lao Hao wanted to leave Shao Xuan here to talk more, he still had a lot of questions to ask Shao Xuan, but looking at the sky outside, he didn't stay any longer.

"Rest first, I'll come back tomorrow." Shao Xuan said before leaving.

With Shao Xuan's words, Lao Hao felt much more at ease.

Shao Xuan returned to the rest place of the expedition team, everyone was discussing the things that they had exchanged with the Feng tribe today, exchanged some good furs, and of course, the most important thing was that he also got some grassland medicinal materials that he had never seen. These are the things that excite him the most.

"Shao Xuan, do you know that there are many poisonous plants on this grassland?"

"Well, I heard. "When Shao Xuan was chatting with Lao Hao today, I heard Lao Hao say it.

For people like this. Those are treasures, but for the people of the steppe, those are demons.

Not all green symbolizes life, and some also represent death. Many times, when the cattle and sheep on the grassland are grazing, they accidentally eat the plants that look similar to the food they usually eat, and they die as a result.

Such poisonous weeds will poison the livestock, bringing great losses to the tribesmen, and making the tribesmen even more headaches. Poisonous weeds are very strong in vitality and reproduction, and as long as they retain their roots, they will grow again in a short time. Even if all the grass on the site is cleared of poisonous weeds this year, you will still see poisonous weeds everywhere next year. Because the seeds of many poisonous weeds are spread by the wind, or they will delay germination for several years, and it is extremely difficult to clean.

And the reason why tourists are needed in the grasslands. One of the reasons is also because of these poisonous weeds. There are too many poisonous weeds, and the tribesmen are not willing to spend more energy on them. There are tourists who pay very little to get them to work. What tourists need is the protection of the tribe.

In some tribes, the poisonous weeds grow too fast and there are not enough people and time to eliminate them. When livestock die and healthy pastures shrink dramatically, they wage war against other tribes to grab the grassland. The attack on the Feng tribe not long ago was also because of this.

Shao Xuan looked at the poisonous grass that he had taken out. When he walked around the grassland today, he saw a lot, but there were no livestock moving there, presumably after the removal of the cattle and sheep.

Yu was still studying the poisonous weeds he was interested in, while Shao Xuan leaned against the wooden wall, thinking about things.

Compared to Yan Shuo, Lao Hao's is indeed good, although life is a little harder, and there will be occasional wars between tribes, but in general, it is quite peaceful. Perhaps, because of such peace, there is no need to face all kinds of threats from people and things every day, and there is no need to deal with all kinds of strict crises, many visitors from the Yanjiao tribe on the grassland do not show totem patterns like Yan Shuo, and there are very few people who can show faint lines, which is what Shao Xuan learned from Lao Hao.

Shao Xuan originally thought that when the time came, he would bring these people back to the Yanjiao tribe across the river, but now it seems that it is extremely difficult, there are many young and middle-aged people, but after all, they are not totem warriors, and their abilities are limited, not to mention, there are still many old, weak, sick and disabled people, these people Shao Xuan has no intention of giving up. It's just that he now needs to figure out how to better solve such a thing.

Perhaps, when Wu asked Shao Xuan to come here to look for other Yanjiao tribesmen, he didn't expect to encounter such a situation. A person like Lao Hao, who is old and does not have the power to awaken the totem, will not be able to travel far safely at all.

Tell the tribes on the grassland to let them be kind to the tourists of the Yanjiao tribe? It's useless, this set doesn't work on the grassland.

If it is a big tribe like the Thousand Faces Tribe, once the name of the tribe is reported, even if the other party is not very reluctant, he will still change his attitude and will not be so harsh. However, now go and tell people that Lao Tzu belongs to the Yanjiao tribe!

Most of the other party will squint at you: Which grass is the Yanjiao Tribe?!

Strength, fame, and the benefits brought by it make every tribe hope that their tribe will become more and more prosperous.

There is no real peace diplomacy here, and most of the powerful tribes are very strong, such as the Thousand Faces Tribe, which is strong enough and strong enough to make people fearful.

After thinking about it, Shao Xuan decided to take some people back to the tribe first, and when the tribe came from over there in the future, he would summon the tribesmen scattered everywhere back.

The next day, Shao Xuan went to Lao Hao's side again.

Lao Hao's foot injury is much better, although he has not awakened the power of the totem, and he is not even as good as Yan Shuo, but after all, he is a member of the Yanjiao tribe, and he has the blood of the Yanjiao tribesmen in his body.

Lao Hao's grandson is much better, he also had a good meal yesterday, and today he is in very good spirits, and he also helped his grandmother go to the pasture to weed.

Shao Xuan also went over to help. Lao Hao limped slowly and slowly beside him, unable to be idle, digging grass while talking to Shao Xuan.

"In fact, my father also showed totem patterns, but very little, very shallow, I remember when I was young, in the house at night was preparing to sleep, suddenly the Feng tribe came from the horn of the guard, my father said, there are wolves attacking. That night, my father participated in the defense of the Feng tribe, and also killed a few wolves, and when he came back, I saw the lines on his face, he said, it was the totem pattern belonging to the totem warriors of the Yanjiao tribe......"

Speaking of his father, Lao Hao has a proud face, which he mentions every time he communicates with tourists from other tribes.

Shao Xuan listened to Lao Hao's narration while digging out those poisonous weeds, he had already learned about these poisonous weeds from Zhen yesterday, and knew which grasses in this grassland were poisonous and which were not.

The tribe asked the visitors to dig up the poisonous weeds, and if there were dead lambs and calves in the place where they were responsible, the tourists would not be paid by the tribe, and they would be beaten or even driven out of the tribe's range. Outside the confines of the tribe, there will be many crises from people or beasts, and if there is no safe place to stay for a long time, the expelled person will soon die.

However, there are poisonous herbs in this grassland, and naturally there will be other medicinal herbs, Shao Xuan also found several when digging poisonous herbs, many of which were reminded by Lao Hao, these herbs are only more common in this grassland, and there are few in other places.

was digging, not far in front, a child about the same age as Lao Hao's grandson, was dragging a piece of wood thicker than him with a straw rope, humming and pulling it here, although the child was much stronger than Lao Hao's grandson, but pulling such a piece of wood, it made his face red.

When Lao Hao saw the child, he asked, "Guaer, what are you pulling wood for?"

The cooperation between the Gua Er family and the Lao Hao family has been a long time, and the grassland that Lao Hao removes is where the Gua Er family often grazes, and sometimes Lao Hao will help the Gua Er family guard the sheep.

"Hey, Lao Hao, come and do me a favor!" Gua Er shouted after seeing Lao Hao.

Shao Xuan stopped Lao Hao, who was about to step forward, and went over to pull the wood that Gua Er was dragging over.

This wood doesn't look obvious, but it's actually quite heavy, but this weight is nothing to Shao Xuan, in the mountains and forests of the hunting area, Shao Xuan has seen stronger and heavier wood.

The wood dragged over by the melon is very thick, but it is not long, only half a meter. The people of the Feng tribe do not like to use wood as weapons, and most of the time they still chop and burn, or come to build houses, tents, fences, etc.

After Gua Er came over, he sat on the ground, panting, and did not answer Lao Hao's words, but looked up and down Shao Xuan, who helped him pull the wood.

Although Lao Hao's grandson is about the same age as Gua Er, the children of the tribe rarely play with the children of the tourists, and the tourists are not slaves, but they are still looked down upon, after all, the tourists need to survive on these tribes.

Therefore, when Gua Er usually comes, he has always been calling and drinking with Lao Hao, and he once fought with Lao Hao's grandson, but because the two families have known each other for too long and need each other, they have not made a big fuss.

After observing for a while, Gua Er asked Shao Xuan, "Are you from the far-away team? I haven't seen you in the tribe." ”

"Yes, I am. Shao Xuan easily lifted the wood and placed it in front of Gua Er.

Gua Er leaned forward and asked, "Have you carved a few beasts out of animal bones......?"

Gua Er said while gesturing.

Shao Xuan nodded, "I carved it." "Those carved knick-knack have changed something.

After receiving Shao Xuan's affirmation, Gua Er's eyes lit up, and he leaned in front of Shao Xuan, with an expectant smile on his face: "Can you carve another one?"

Shao Xuan looked at Gua Er silently, and put on a deep look: "What can you exchange for?" (to be continued......)
