Chapter 154: Enthusiasm
This is a place where there are many crocodiles, and the traces on the stones that Shao Xuan saw by the pool before should have been caused by crocodiles. ๏ฟกโ๏ผ
It's just that those scary crocodiles, here, live with the tribesmen, and they seem to be very harmonious.
What's even more interesting is that Shao Xuan found that the people of the tribe, the coldness of their eyes when they look at people, seem to have no emotion, with fierceness, and erected pupils are very similar to crocodiles.
Are these people, or crocodiles?
Shao Xuan has never seen anyone other than the Yanjiao tribe, and when he came to this world, he has only been active in the area on the other side of the river where there are no other outsiders, and he doesn't know much about this world, even if he has seen the animal skin scrolls left by his ancestors, many of them are not detailed, and there are even many that need to be guessed.
Outside the tribe, what the real world is like has to be seen by Shao Xuan himself.
The chirp did not fly into the air, because Fu Xiang said that the people in the tribe are very vigilant about the birds in the sky, so before getting the permission of the tribe, do not fly to the sky lightly, otherwise, once you descend to a low altitude, you will be attacked mercilessly by all the falls.
For this reason, Chirp can only follow behind, foot by foot.
Some of the little crocodiles resting on the steps or by the pool next to them quickly crawled back into the water when Shao Xuan and Chirp came over, flicked their tails vigorously, and quickly sank into the pool.
Seeing Shao Xuan staring at those little crocodiles, Fu Yu said: "The treasure fish are very wary of outsiders, fortunately, the big treasure fish have left at this time, only these little treasure fish, otherwise you are more dangerous." Don't walk around if you want to go out, you must have people from the tribe with you when you want to go out, otherwise you will be easily attacked. โ
Fu Xiang told Shao Xuan about the things that needed to be paid attention to in the Yu tribe. Including the temperament of the character of these crocodiles.
Listening to Fu Xiang's explanation, Shao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, these people are not crocodiles, they just live in harmony with crocodiles, and they also call crocodiles "treasure fish". It can be seen that these crocodiles have a place in the hearts of the tribesmen.
Shao Xuan also warned Chirp not to eat these little crocodiles as food, otherwise the people of the Za tribe would come to ask for the guilt, and maybe it would cause a vicious battle.
Like the tribesmen, these crocodiles have two kinds, one has yellow-brown eyes, dark brown scales on the back, and a pale yellow ventral surface, and the color of the baby crocodile is slightly lighter, and there are some black spots or reticulation patterns, etc. Even if it's a little crocodile. You can also see the dorsal armor on their bodies that extends from their backs to their tails, and some of them have protruding horns on their heads, which Shao Xuan has never seen in his previous life.
This yellow-brown-eyed crocodile is a strong, fierce, and aggressive adult that will be actively attacked by outward people who walk around the tribe at will.
And the other one with dark brown eyes. The dorsal armor is not so noticeable and looks a little longer. They have a milder temper. There was also a lot less fierce light in his eyes, and he looked much more harmless than the dark-brown eyes of the tribe.
It seems that this is the kind of tribe that follows the style of animal worship.
Shao Xuan took everything Fu Xiang said to heart, and now the parents of these little crocodiles are not here, but. They'll be back soon, and in this strange place, you have to pay attention, or you'll be dead.
Seeing these crocodiles, Shao Xuan remembered the trick that Shen Jia's kid used on him just now. Isn't it just a crocodile's "death rolling"?
After entering the core area of the tribe, Fu Xiang did not take Shao Xuan directly to his house, but went to the leader first.
Come to think of it, someone on the road has already passed the news.
There were some people outside the house where the leader lived, looking at Shao Xuan and Chirp curiously, but those eyes still looked cold, which made Chirp uncomfortably shake his wings, and wanted to fly several times, but fortunately he was appeased by Shao Xuan.
Fanmu, the leader of the Yu tribe, is a strong middle-aged man, his eyes are also yellow-brown, and when he looks at Shao Xuan, he is like a fierce beast in the mountains and forests, and there is a sense of majestic oppression.
"Welcome to the Tsuru Tribe. Fanmu looked at Shao Xuan and said.
There was no smile on Fanmu's face, of course, it was better if he didn't smile, it was much better than Fu Xiang's smile that was more terrifying than expressionless.
"Yanjiao Tribe, Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan introduced himself. This is what Shao Xuan asked Wu before he set off, and after leaving the tribe, he will show people with the name "Shao Xuan".
"It's called chirp, but my friend doesn't like to stand on the ground all the time, and I hope you, Chief, will allow it to fly for a while. Shao Xuan said.
"Yes. Fanmu motioned to the people on the side, telling them not to attack the chirp, but at the same time, to keep an eye on it.
After the chirp flew into the sky, Shao Xuan stepped on the steps and followed Fanmu into the house.
In the room, there was still a man with dark brown eyes, who looked a little older than Fanmu.
"This is the witch of our tribe. Shirome introduced.
"Hello, I'm Shao Xuan from the Yanjiao tribe. โ
"Welcome to the Tsuru Tribe. The witch of the tribe said. There was also a hint of a smile on his face, which made people feel more friendly.
The same words, coming out of the mouth of the witch in front of him, are much more comfortable than those coming out of the mouth of Fanmu. Moreover, when this witch laughed, he didn't have that stiff and crazy feeling.
This witch is very similar to the old god, he seems to be approachable and easy to talk, but in fact, he has more eyes than anyone else.
No matter what Shao Xuan thought in his heart, there was still a somewhat restrained smile on his face, fully playing the role of a newcomer who left the tribe for the first time.
Fu Xiang, who led Shao Xuan over, was also called in by Fanmu and told him how he met Shao Xuan.
Some places that Fu Yu couldn't explain, Shao Xuan added them.
Hearing that Shao Xuan had been on the river for more than twenty days, the expressions of Fanmu and Wu changed.
"How did you stay on the river for more than twenty days?" Wu asked.
"Boats, oars, and chirp. Shao Xuan said some things he had seen and heard on the river, and also said some strange but dangerous phenomena, but he didn't say anything about the sails. It is enough to have a boat and an eagle pulling a boat.
As Shao Xuan spoke, the expressions on Fanmu and Wu's faces gradually eased. Obviously, they still know something about Dahe, and they know that Shao Xuan is not lying. Moreover, in their opinion, Shao Xuan really had great luck to get out of such a dangerous situation. But. Chirping also contributed a lot, if they also had a bird like this that could pull a boat, they should be able to go further, right?
"I remember, after leaving the river bank far away, the wooden boat will sink, why didn't yours?" asked Fanmu staring at Shao Xuan.
"Where you come to the shore, won't the wood sink? In our tribe, even on the shore, the wood goes out of the water. Soon it will be dragged to the bottom of the river. โ
"Our tribe has treasure fish!" Fu said proudly.
Because there are so many crocodiles near the riverbank, there are fewer other creatures, and the wood thrown into the water will not be dragged down by the wood-gnawing insects.
"And how did you do that?" Shigeme asked.
"Because some time ago it was the rainy season that we had there, and after the rainy season, there were no more bugs in the river, and the boat could go down the river and wait for the water to rise again. The bugs will come back. โ
"How could this be?!"
Shao Xuan's words surprised several people in the room.
"This is what the witch of our tribe asked me to carry. Shao Xuan took out the stone given by Wu with the tribal double-horned totem pattern. Hand it to the witch of the tribe in front of him.
The totem pattern drawn by the witch is more special, and as a witch, he can feel the power of the totem used by the other party when drawing, as well as the emotions that the painter wants to express. Indeed with friendliness and welcoming.
"Chirp has it on you. Shao Xuan walked to the door and whistled.
The place where the chief lives. The walkway outside is much wider than in other people's homes, and the planks are sturdy.
Chirp landed on the walkway erected outside the house.
The witch of the Yu tribe carefully looked at the pattern on the chirping feet, and only then did he determine that what Shao Xuan just said that this bird had also been blessed by the witch of the Yanjiao tribe. A person or thing that can receive the blessing of a tribal witch. are all valued by the tribe. This is also very difficult to fake.
Removing his hand from the chirping paws, Wu nodded at the leader Fanmu.
The cold eyes of the leader eased a little again.
After talking for a while, Wu and the leader's suspicion of Shao Xuan had dropped significantly, they had not heard of the "Yanjiao Tribe", but after the conversation, Wu of the Wu tribe took the initiative to express his sincere enthusiasm.
I heard that Shao Xuan was out of the tribe for the first time, and Wu also built yรฌ Shao Xuan to stay for a while.
"After the Water Moon Festival, there will be people from the tribe who will go to other tribes to trade, and you can join them. The witch said.
The person next to him wanted to say something, but Wu raised his hand to stop him.
"Then that's it, Fu Xiang, Shao Xuan will live in your house for the time being. The leader said.
The leader's words were considered to have given this matter, and the others didn't say much, but they looked at Shao Xuan's eyes with vigilance.
"Okay. Fu Xiang replied.
After leaving the place where the leader lived, Fu Xiang took Shao Xuan home.
In general, the family of the person who brings in the person is responsible for entertaining them. Besides, Shao Xuan also saved Shen Jia's life, so they had to take good care of them.
It was getting dark, and there was damp moisture all around.
The two moons in the sky keep the ground from getting too dark, and as the moon gets rounder, you can see everything around you even late at night.
Fu Xiang's house is also a dry-bar building, built next to a pool, and when Shao Xuan passed, a woman was waiting there. It was Fu Xiang's wife, Ping.
Next to Ping, it was Shen Jia who was standing there obediently, his face was swollen, and obviously, he was beaten again.
Ping also showed her enthusiasm, but the smile still made people's hearts hairy, and those eyes were yellow-brown like Fu Xiang and Shen Jia.
"Shao Xuan, thank you for saving my family's Shen Jia. โ
After saying that, Ping took down a large pile of things from a table outside the house. The family didn't eat dinner, they had been waiting for Fu Xiang and Shao Xuan, and since they both came back, Ping also put out the prepared meal.
Shao Xuan only felt that the black shadow flashed in front of him, and a whole deer leg was placed in front of him. The deer leg was roasted, but it was not cooked, and the flesh was torn open, and blood flowed out.
Looking up at the other three, this family of three, their mouths had doubled in size, cracked wide, and they were biting with food. When I bit it, blood splattered and splashed everywhere on the table.
Shao Xuan: "......" (to be continued......
