Chapter 634 Reticulated clay pots

The matter of the Gu tribe made the people in the team serious.

If the Gu tribe is not a tribe that is too aggressive, then it is okay, even if it is a small fight, it will not affect the Yanjiao side. But if the people of the Gu tribe are very aggressive, then they have to be on guard.

Of course, Shao Xuan didn't actually think that the Gu tribe would be a tribe that liked to invade and robbed other people's property for a living, if they went to rob it specifically, what else did they have to do to develop and improve their skills? Besides, if the Gu tribe was very high-profile, why had no one heard of it in this area?

Even in the past, when the expeditions of Flamehorn were in the large trading areas of the interior, they had never heard the name of this tribe. The mention has not been mentioned by the traveling teams everywhere, and the people of the Pu tribe do not know the existence of the Gu tribe.

Then, the biggest possible situation of the Gu tribe is: far away, remote enough, living in a place on the edge of the Yan River, and not high-profile.

After such an analysis, Shao Xuan was also a lot more relieved.

The woodland on the shore began to grow lush again, and it was not known if there would be a tribe in such a place.

After Shao Xuan flew in the air for a while with his chirp, he got off the boat and continued to replenish the map. In fact, there is not much important information, and the only landmarks that can be drawn on the map are mountains and water. There aren't many mountains left in this area, but the water is starting to get bigger.

When Shao Xuan was in the air, he saw the lake and the river, and there were more animals living in the forest, far and near, sharp and low, and all kinds of cries were noisy in the forest.

Shao Xuan was replenishing the map in the cabin when he heard a commotion outside. Dori must have caught another fish, and it was a fish they had never seen before, otherwise there would not have been such a movement. During this time, there were many similar things, and the further down the river became, the more fish seemed to be.

When I went out to see. Shao Xuanzheng saw Ah Guang pinching a strange fish as thick as a narrow upper arm with one hand. The strange fish is covered in mud yellow and black interlaced patterns, if you stop diving on the shore, it is difficult to find it, with a mouth like a sucker, the body is slippery, but Ah Guang can tightly pinch the head of the strange fish with one hand. So much so that the strange fish could only twist its body vigorously, and in its sucker-like mouth, many small hook-like teeth formed concentric rings, rotating like gears, but it couldn't touch Ah Guang at all. The teeth in the mouth rotate at a limited angle, turning about 90 degrees and then turning back again.

Dori took a stick and put it into the disc-shaped mouth of the strange fish, only to listen to the sound of sizzling. The sticks have been twisted into sawdust.

The strange fish also has two large fan-like pectoral fins, each of which can cover a human face, but when it is caught by Ah Guang, its two pectoral fins are closed, so it looks like a narrow and slippery look.

After playing with the fish for a while, they began to deal with the strange fish, pondering and roasting it.

"Hey, there's a hook in the belly of this fish!" Tuo, who was in charge of slaughtering the fish, took out the hook from the fish's belly.

After washing off the bloodstains. The shape of the hook is more pronounced.

Tuo handed it to Shao Xuan, "It's artificially polished." ”

A stone fish hook the length of a little finger. The tail is curved and sharpened.

The mouth of the strange fish can grind wooden sticks, but it can't grind hard stones, so this hook with obvious polishing marks will stay in the fish's stomach instead of being twisted into stone chips.

"Is there a tribe around here, or is it coming from somewhere else?" said Tuo, looking at the forest on the shore. Guess.

The people in the team were more inclined to the former, so the people on the two ships in front and behind were more vigilant.

Shao Xuan didn't perceive the breath of the fire, even if there was a tribe. I haven't met it yet.

After another half a day, when Shao Xuan and the others were resting on the shore to plant the monument, the hunters who went into the forest to hunt found some traces - a broken clay pot half buried in the soil.

The clay pot was very small, but it was very detailed, it was a painted pottery, and what made Shao Xuan care more was the pattern on the clay pot.

On the palm-sized clay pot, the dark reticulated pattern is very finely drawn, and it can be seen that the painter must have been very attentive at that time. It is not difficult to draw a reticulated pattern, but the difficult thing is to draw an accurate and fine pattern on the curved pottery, which is not simple, and if you are not careful, the whole will be ruined.

And now on the clay pot they found, hundreds of lines are densely drawn on the curved surface protruding outward, and those lines are drawn very evenly and smoothly, and the distance between the lines is like measuring with a ruler, which is very accurate, and there is no sense of stagnation, which can be imagined the skill of the painter.

In addition to those fine interlaced lines, there are also thicker arcs and bands, close to the mouth and bottom of the bottle, and two-thirds of the bottle, there are such thick arcs and bands, and in addition, there are dense interlaced reticulation lines. Between these two forms a strong The contrast between thickness and thickness gives a very strong visual effect.

Pottery also requires enthusiasm, and in Yanjiao, the one who is responsible for the production of pottery is the punishment. The longer he came into contact with pottery, the deeper his perception became, and his old man once said that the pottery that poured enthusiasm into it and the pottery made of perfunctory pottery gave people a completely different feeling.

Not to mention the shape of the pottery, only the pattern drawn on it, although the clay pot in Shao Xuan's hand has been damaged, but after washing off the soil, the fine brushstrokes on it are still clear, and the visual impact at first glance is strong enough, otherwise it will not be discovered by the Yanjiao people who are looking for food.

At that time, this clay pot was half-buried in the soil, and there was grass around it, but it was just a small figure peeking out of the grass, but it was discovered at a glance.

It can be seen that this pottery was not made casually, and when making it, the maker poured enough enthusiasm and patience into focusing on this palm-sized clay pot, and perhaps what was contained in it was also very important.

"Did you find a totem?" asked Tuo.

Shao Xuan shook his head, "I don't know for the time being." Maybe we didn't find it on it, maybe some of the totems were broken and missing, or maybe there were no totems painted on it at all. The second and third guesses are more likely. ”

Since the person who made this clay pot was serious enough when making it, he would definitely be more meticulous and cautious when drawing the totem, and the feelings poured into it would be stronger, if there was a totem on it, Shao Xuan would definitely see it at a glance even if he had never seen the tribal totem making this pottery before.

"I don't know what the tribe of pottery is like. Could it be the Poppy tribe?" said Dori.

Shao Xuan looked at the clay pot in his hand and pondered.

Dori's guess was what he was thinking. Different tribes will have different sizes of preferred things because of different totems and habits, for example, some like cloud patterns, and some like animal patterns.

And now, the lines on this clay pot belong to the list of reticulated patterns, and it is obvious that this tribe is more fond of reticulated patterns.

Gu tribe ...... It's really possible!

Instead of throwing away the clay pot, Shao Xuan brought it back to the ship and asked everyone to look around to see if they could find any other traces.

The more clues you have, the more you will learn. (To be continued.) )
