Chapter 210: My brother will show you the crocodile
As winter officially ended, some rafts and boats began to move on the river, but most of them were tourists and slaves living here, and the expedition had not yet come out.
Shao Xuan didn't see the slave owner this time, Yan Shuo said that the slave owner named Shi Shu left before the winter, I don't know where to go, and I don't know when he will come back, but the slave owner has left a few high-level slaves in charge here, so the slaves don't dare to be lazy at all, and the slaves can be seen everywhere these days.
Shao Xuan and Yan Zhi made up for the boat docked on the shore.
The boat was left here, not guarded by slaves, but it was not stolen, no one wanted to go out when it snowed, and the people who thought about it after the snow stopped, as soon as they saw Shao Xuan, they had no thoughts.
"I'll leave tomorrow. Shao Xuan said.
"Okay, I'm ready over there. Yan Shuo said excitedly.
Yan Shuo's family will leave with Shao Xuan, and their house will be left to the friends here, since Shao Xuan came here last year to deter a group of people, coupled with the power of ascension, Yan Shuo has gathered a group of tourists to form a small group, several of these people are better than Yan Shuo, but it is impossible for these people to leave together.
Therefore, Yan Shuo left his house with the brother who had been suffering together, and then told them at Shao Xuan's instructions that the Yanjiao tribe would move to the central part of the country, and they could go over together and live around the Yanjiao tribe when the time came.
Everyone who was originally depressed because of Yan Shuo's departure was very happy after hearing Yan Shuo's words, which was very good news for them, and with hope, they had more motivation to live.
Isn't it just a few more years, maybe you'll get the news in a year or two?
Take care of a good qiΔ. Shao Xuan handed the prey that he had thrown down to Yan Shuo, "Everyone have a good rest tonight and leave tomorrow." β
Night falls. Some of the nocturnal animals that come out at the end of winter make visitors afraid to go out. are all nested at home.
"Shao Xuan, what are you looking at?" Jiao Wu asked as he ate a piece of barbecue meat.
Shao Xuan withdrew his gaze from the window, closed the window, and said, "If I guessed correctly, tonight should be the annual sacrifice time of the tribe. β
Hearing Shao Xuan's words, whether he was barbecuing meat or drinking soup. They all stopped what they were doing and looked at Shao Xuan.
"Sacrifice...... Sacrifice, what does it look like?" Yan Zhi asked as he held back the excitement in his heart.
"On this day, all the tribes will go to the fire pit to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, and the totem warriors will wear clothes and accessories made of the most proud prey they have hunted. Will draw tribal totemic patterns on the face......"
Shao Xuan told a few people about the annual sacrifice.
Everyone around the fire listened attentively, and their eyes reflected the light of the fire, shining brightly. Even the little kid who was held by Yan Shuo listened to it rarely, and he didn't know how much he understood.
As he spoke, Shao Xuan had already felt the change in the totem in his mind.
"The fire pond is three Yan, and the first Yan has begun. Shao Xuan pointed to his face, and then rolled up the sleeves of the animal skin coat, revealing the totem patterns that appeared.
Not only Shao Xuan, but the people here, except for Yan Shuo's wife and children, the other five people. Totem lines appeared on all their faces, and they did not have Shao Xuan's clarity. But it did appear.
"Every year on this day, it is the day of the awakening of the children in the tribe who meet the conditions. Wait to go back. Xiao Yannian also has to go through it. Shao Xuan said.
Yan Nian is Yan Shuo's daughter, but not as good as the children of the tribe, but it doesn't matter, when she goes back, she will gradually raise it back.
It's about having a good rest tonight, but no one can go to bed early, Yan Shuo and Yan Zhi even thought about it all night because of Shao Xuan's words, I don't know if it's because the love is too excited, too excited, I can't sleep after closing my eyes for a long time, and I was still very energetic when I woke up the next day.
Yan Shuo's friends in the tourist area came to see him off.
Carrying the child onto the boat, Yan Shuo looked back at the people standing on the shore, "Go back, everyone wait for good news." β
Taking the wooden paddle handed by Yan Zhuo, Yan Shuo rowed while looking at the place where he had lived for many years, on the territory of the slave owners, there were more and more houses, and they were getting bigger and bigger, and this year many tourists rushed to it, fantasizing about the day when they could go from the lowest slave to an important position at the title level; the tourist area is still the same, some people leave, some people add in, some houses collapse, some houses are newly built, and in the river next to the tourist area and the slave land, I don't know how many tourists and slaves are buried in the river, those who died of illness, those who were killed, and the number of people who were killed are countlessγ
Yan Zhi suddenly remembered what the visitor who lived next door often sat outside the door in a daze when he first came to this place.
Back then, the tourist took a sharpened bone knife, pointed to the river, and said, "Every day people die, and then they are thrown into the river, and they are eaten by fish, and then they catch the fish and eat the fish." Others, even more unfortunately, wanted to be thrown into the river, but unfortunately, he was eaten, and his bones were made into bone knives, and he was taken to various places to hunt his prey......"
Yan Shuo didn't remember the appearance of the tourist, he only remembered that the man was seriously injured when he went into the mountains to hunt, and when he came back, he tied a stone to himself and jumped into the river.
Survival is difficult, life is only hard, and only those who stand in it understand.
Yan Shuo looked back at the people who were still standing on the shore, they were still looking at the boat, they were envious of Yan Shuo, and at the same time, they were also looking forward to the day when they heard the news of the Yanjiao tribe. Maybe when that day comes, it will be their new life.
After paddling the wooden oars vigorously, Yan Shuo looked at the people standing on the shore and shouted, "Alive!"
"Alive!" came their voices from the shore.
Jiaowu was quite touched and planned to roar along with his throat, but was stared at by Yan Yan, and he held back the roar that was about to blurt out.
On the green waters, a small boat carrying nine people moved forward to the sound of oars.
On the ship, there are also some shields made of wood, which can be resisted if someone on both sides of the strait attacks this way.
Yan Shuo's wife and children were guarded in the middle.
The sky, chirping at the movement below. If an abnormality is found, Shao Xuan will be informed.
Shao Xuan still has memories of this waterway, and he also remembers the last time he came from this waterway. Those who have traveled far away have said a lot, and the experience they have told. For example, which section of the river is more urgent and dangerous, and where there are small tribes living in the river section, etc., these Shao Xuan also told Yan Zhi and them, so that they can be prepared in their hearts, and don't be too flustered at that time.
Leaving the tourist area where they had lived for the first time, the two children looked at the scenery on both sides with curiosity, but the adults were not so relaxed. Because of Shao Xuan's prompting, they had to be vigilant.
On the third day after leaving the fork of the river, Shao Xuan saw the sign of the Pu tribe.
"In front of you is the Pu tribe. Shao Xuan pointed to the totem carved on a raised rock on the mountain by the river and said.
The area on the edge of the Pu tribe was also patrolled by totem warriors, and they didn't remember Shao Xuan, but when Shao Xuan mentioned some things last year, the patrolman recalled it and seemed to be a little impressed.
Seeing that Shao Xuan's side didn't seem to be a threat, one of the soldiers on patrol said, "You come with me, and I'll take you to see Fanning." β
Winter is over. The temperature has risen, and the long-distance team has begun to prepare for the first long-distance trip this year, and several batches of long-distance teams are in the procession. Fanning was letting people inform the people in his team of their plans for this year's trip, and when he heard someone shouting behind him, he saw Shao Xuan when he turned around.
Fanning remembered Shao Xuan, but he didn't have a good face and ignored him.
Shao Xuan didn't care about Fanning's attitude, anyway, Fanning has always been like this.
After chatting casually with a few familiar people around, he went to look for him under the guidance of a few people from the Pu tribe.
It was the first time for Yan Zhi to enter the tribe, and it was not his own tribe yet. There are a few totemic warriors around, which makes them very nervous.
The people of the surrounding Pu tribe saw Yan Zhi after a few. Some have contempt in their eyes, others ignore it. At a glance, they knew that Yan Zhi would not have many good things, and they could not make transactions, so they naturally did not have a good attitude.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people around, Jiao Wu couldn't help but lean into his brother's ear and whispered, "Their eyes are so big." β
I was about to say something, but I was glared at by Yan Zhi and shut up.
As soon as they recovered, the Pu tribe began to have some frog activities, because Shao Xuan had told them before coming, and Yan Yan and a few people were also careful not to touch those frogs, although many of them looked very fat and delicious.
However, those who know Shao Xuan know in their hearts that this kid has a lot of good goods on hand, and he is still coming back from the central part.
"Are you going to start trading in the next two days?" Shao Xuan looked at the surrounding room and asked the person next to him.
Many people around have begun to put things out, and this is the situation where the people of the Pu tribe are going to start trading.
"Yes, by the way, Shao Xuan, the people of the Luo tribe will come over to trade today, you can see what you can exchange. The man said.
When he saw his hut, Shao Xuan thanked the man, and stuffed a piece of jerky for him by the way, "Thank you." β
As soon as he smelled the smell of meat, the man was stunned first, he didn't expect to lead the way, he could still receive something, grinned and looked around, no one paid attention, and quickly stuffed the things in his hand into the animal skin bag, he didn't want people to know that he could change things with a road, what if someone grabbed it next time?
He didn't plan to leave with the expedition this time, and when Shao Xuan passed, he was still sleeping in the room.
Shao Xuan's arrival made him very happy, knowing that Shao Xuan wanted to change the frog poison, under the curious eyes of several people, he made several kinds of frog poison and stingers on the spot, and by the way, he also dug out all his grandfather's private treasures from the ground.
"The things that the old man hid were all from last year, and if the time is too long, the efficacy of the medicine will be reduced, and it is a waste to keep it, so I will give it to you." He said without any guilt, and he was not worried that the old man would be furious when he found out.
"Thank you. β
At this time, a commotion began not far away.
"It should be someone from the Luo tribe who is here, you can get some fishing nets from them, their fishing nets are very good, I still haven't seen what they made of nets. β
"Okay, I'll go over and have a look. β
Waiting for Shao Xuan and them to leave, he yawned and planned to continue sleeping.
"Who came just now? Hey? What about my frog poison? I'm going to exchange something with the people of the Luo tribe. "The old man is back.
"Grandpa, do you know the Flamehorn Tribe?" asked.
"I don't know, it's familiar. Where's my frog venom?"
"Shao Xuan is from the Yanjiao tribe. β
"Well, where's my frog poison?"
"Last year, when I followed the expedition team, Shao Xuan fought with a person from the Thousand-Faced Tribe, and he didn't fall behind. β
"Oh, I think I heard you say, what about my frog poison?"
The grandfather and grandson began a "chicken and duck" dialogue once a day.
Shao Xuan still has some impressions of the Luo tribe, the nets of the Luo tribe are indeed very special, the weaving materials they use are very fine, and they should be made after processing some kind of plant.
Shao Xuan changed a fishing net and a few fish skin clothes.
This type of fish skin clothing is very common for the Luo tribe, and unlike the animal skin clothing of other tribes, their tribe faces three rivers, two of which can catch fish. They use the most primitive tools and the most commonplace materials to make clothing, shelter from the wind and rain, and warm the body.
Whether it is the Luo tribe or the Pu tribe, or others, they have experienced countless stormy years, each tribe is looking for more skills in survival and practice in their unique development history, even if they do not come into contact with the higher civilization culture in the central region, they can also step into the threshold of the civilization era, but it takes a longer time.
Civilization and skill are all forced out by life.
Compared to the "prices" in the central part of the country, the deals here are really quite affordable. It's no wonder that the people of the Pu tribe always like to travel far away.
Yan Zhi followed Shao Xuan and gained a lot of knowledge.
After spending the night in the Pu tribe, early the next morning, Shao Xuan took Yan Yan and them to the Yu tribe by boat.
The closer they got to the tribe, the more nervous the Yan people became, although Shao Xuan told them that the crocodiles of the tribe were special, they still couldn't help but be nervous, and the bloody picture in their memories was always played back and forth.
"The front is the scope of the Tsu tribe. Shao Xuan looked at the river section in front of him and said.
Yan Zhi and the others became even more nervous, and their eyes glanced at the water from time to time.
Wow β
A figure jumped out of the water, and when he fell, it floated on the surface of the river.
Soon, Yan Zhi and the others saw that the man's feet were gradually revealing the water's somewhat hideous head covered with hard textures, as well as the eyes that looked extremely indifferent.
Behind them, there were skulls emerging from the water, a pair of yellow-brown eyes with vertical pupils, and huge jaws......
Except for Shao Xuan, everyone else turned pale.
The other party is the patrol warrior of the Pu tribe, and compared to the people of the Pu tribe, the warriors of the Pu tribe have a much deeper impression of Shao Xuan.
"Hey, it's you. The other party's tone sounded enthusiastic and familiar, but the expression on that face made Yan Zhi and the others nervous for a while, and they always felt very murderous.
After hearing about Shao Xuan's intention, the other party enthusiastically took Shao Xuan into the tribe, but when he smiled, the expression on that face became more and more hideous.
As he was walking, Shao Xuan heard a cry, a cry that no one else could hear.
It was the little guy who, when I saw it last year, was just a fragile little crocodile.
A figure appeared in a pool in front of him, and those dark and brown eyes, although he was much larger, Shao Xuan could recognize it at a glance.
"Xiao Yannian, come here, my brother will take you to see the crocodile. (To be continued)
