Chapter 96: Miaoli Division

After the exchange, Yan Zheng learned that this tribe near the sea was called the Miaoli Division, and it was a relative tribe of the Bamboo Trench Society.

This tribe does not hunt heads, so they are wary of people with tattoos on their faces.

Even if they had already expressed their goodwill to each other, these people still did not allow Yan Zheng and them to get too close to the territory.

It's just that their leaders also stepped forward and were willing to have a meeting with Yan Zheng as a leader.

"The tattoos on their faces are just totems, it doesn't mean that they will hunt their heads at will, my soldiers, they will only hoe the strong and help the weak, we are the Mona of the weak tribe."

Yan Zheng introduced the tribe very sincerely, and it is very important to establish friendly relations with the tribe near the sea!

The leader of the Miaoli tribe and Wu are the same person, Wu is the leader, and the leader is the Wu.

"Monabu? Which society are you? ”

"Of the Mao Wu Society."

"I haven't heard of it! Is your territory far from here? ”

Yan Zheng smiled bitterly: "Far away!" We've walked many days to get here. ”

"Oh? So what are you here for? ”

"We're here looking for this long knife, do you know where these things came from?" Yan Zheng said as he handed out the long knife.

The Miaoli leader looked at it and said, "These should be those from the sea!" ”

"You've seen it?" Yan Zheng was excited.

The leader of the cats pointed to the beach in the distance and said, "There is a boat they left behind, but unfortunately it is broken, and it is much better than our Miaoli department." ”

Yan Zheng couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Do they come here often?" ”

"They come occasionally, but these men with long knives are vicious, and they are over there, taking up a place! We didn't dare to go over, they once attacked our territory and robbed many women! ”

After speaking, he stared at the bamboo armor on Yan Zheng and them, and said with some doubts: "The things you are wearing are a bit similar to those people wearing!" ”

Yan Zheng was slightly happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked a soldier to take off the bamboo armor, handed it to the leader of the Miaoli tribe and said, "Our tribe has many such bamboo armors, you can exchange them with us!" ”

The Miaoli leader stretched out his hand to take it, and his face also floated with a burst of brilliance and said: "What do you want, our tribe only has fish, shells and wild fruits, and some salt, but it is not as good as yours." ”

Yan Zheng thought for a while and asked, "Do you have a fish bladder?" It's that bulging bubble in the belly of the fish! ”

"What do you want that thing for?"

"Our tribe is short of fish bladders, so you can collect them to dry and trade them with us." Yan Zheng said with a smile.

The Miaoli leader nodded, touched the animal skin on the bamboo armor and said, "Do you have a lot of animal skins?" I want to change some hides. ”

"Many! As long as you are willing to trade with us, we have the best hides for you. ”

"Okay, you're willing to give us this kind of thing called bamboo armor, I believe you are sincere in trading, this time I'll give you some exquisite shells."

The leader of Miaoli asked several tribal girls to bring a large number of shells, and knelt down and handed them to Yan Zheng.

Yan Zheng picked up the so-called shells and looked at them, pointed to the pile of things on the side and asked, "Then where did you get these things?" ”

"These?" The Miaoli leader said: "It was also given to us by some fishermen, they sometimes come here to take shelter from the wind and waves, we give them water and food, they will leave something for us, they are more friendly!" ”

Yan Zheng nodded: "Then please tell us, where are the places occupied by those people with long knives, and can you take us there?" ”

The Miaoli leader was stunned, he was actually a little reluctant, but these people in front of him didn't seem to be good at stubble, he was afraid that the two groups of people would fight, and in the end their tribe would suffer.

But looking at Yan Zheng's sincere eyes, as well as all the overtures just now, he compromised and said, "I can take you there, but I want more bamboo armor!" ”

Yan Zheng said indifferently: "When we come back, we will give more, but not now!" ”

The Miaoli leader did not object, and said to a short boy beside him: "Abu, you will take them to find those demons later!" ”

The young man named Abu nodded, looked at Yan Zheng very confidently, and said, "I will definitely bring you to the territory of those demons, if you want to destroy them, I am willing to help!" ”

Yan Zheng gave a thumbs up and said, "Ambitious!" ”

But the Miaoli leader said: "Abu can't make trouble, and I also advise you not to fight those people!" ”

The corners of Yan Zheng's mouth flashed with a scornful smile, and he said, "Can I still plead with you for one more thing?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Next time there is a fisherman from the other side of the sea, can you inform me? Of course, it's better to catch them and bring them to me, I'm willing to give them a hundred of those axes in exchange! ”

After thinking for a moment, the Miaoli leader sighed, "They are very friendly, if I want to catch them, I can't do it." ”

"Don't worry, I swear to the ancestral spirits, I will never murder them, on the contrary, I also want to trade with them!" Yan Zheng said with a smile.

The Miaoli leader thought about it again, nodded and said, "But I want two hundred axes like that!" ”

"No problem! If only you can do it for me! ”

"And how will I let you know then?"

"It's not hard! I see that you will be fishing in the sea, and your canoe will go all the way there, and you will see a river, and at the mouth of the river, where my people are boiling salt.

From there, you will find me! If you can, we can also trade through this route! This time you can send someone to follow us back, and from now on, we will exchange messengers. Every once in a while, a trade is made. ”

"But those who come from the other side of the sea to fish may not come here for a long time, and they will only come every year when there is a lot of wind!"

Yan Zheng smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter, as long as you remember, every time you trade in the future, report this matter, so as not to forget!" ”

The leader of Miaoli nodded and said, "Okay, the broken ship by the sea is what those people left last time, if you are interested in them, I will let you take you to see it." ”

Yan Zheng hurriedly came down, and under the leadership of a young man from the Miaoli department, he walked towards the sea.

Less than a kilometer away, when Yan Zheng came to the seaside, he was immediately impressed by the hydrological conditions here, which is a natural haven!

It's no wonder that there are ships coming to shore from time to time, and it should be a shelter that many people know about.

And on the beach, there is a broken boat, and it seems that it is a small ship.

When Yan Zheng got closer, he found that this was a traditional Chinese-style fishing boat, and many of his previous speculations were confirmed again.

"It's better to be frustrated now! Frustration Song attaches great importance to overseas trade, and it is particularly frustrating! Yan Zheng secretly slandered.

He asked a few of his clansmen to scavenge the boat, and found that there was not a single hair.

And there is a huge hole in the hull of this ship.

Now the repair is not good, but Yan Zheng is reluctant to burn it down.

At least he really doesn't know how to build a ship, and with this ship, at least he can have a reference.

So he decided that when he went back, he would dismantle the boat and get it all back, and see if he could build a new boat.
