Chapter 34 The distribution of forces around the tribe, special patterns
Su Yu had them imprisoned in the old cowshed and the old horse shed next to the blacksmith's shop.
It's been cleaned, but it's a bit basic.
Of course, the place where they are held doesn't need to be very good, as long as they can live in people.
Su Yu checked the seized packages, in addition to the fish that went out and came back, there were also those potatoes and some other bits and pieces.
Su Yu saw garlic in these things, there were many garlics, and the garlic cloves were full and distinct. Su Yu was a little surprised, this was an unexpected gain.
"It's a pity." Su Yu was still thinking about whether he could find other good things, but unfortunately he only found this one, and there were no good things left, all of which could be seen everywhere at this time.
I don't know if they lost some or ate some along the way.
Su Yu stopped thinking about it, and opened Ji Ni's package, what was in it was the most important thing.
Su Yu got the animal skin, and there were indeed many patterns painted on it.
These patterns include triangles, lines, and other shapes.
Su Yu estimated that these lines should be rivers, and he really didn't know the others. The rest can only be known by Ji Ni when he speaks, so Su Yu came to the place where Ji Ni and them were held with this animal skin map.
"You know what the pattern on this map means, right?"
Su Yu unfolded the animal skin and pointed to the pattern on it.
"Yes." Ji Ni simply nodded and admitted, after all, this is what he painted.
"Then tell me what these patterns mean."
"Good!"
Ji Ni nodded, the content of this map didn't matter, at least for him.
Now all he has to do is to cooperate with Su Yu's questioning, he knows very well that it is useless to be stubborn, and if he cooperates well, he can still save his life and avoid punishment. He had seen what happened to the captives who had been tortured and questioned, and he still remembered that scene vividly.
"This refers to the mountains, this is the location of nearby tribes, and this, this is the ......"
Under Ji Ni's very cooperative explanation, Su Yu knew what these patterns represented.
After knowing the meaning of these patterns, I didn't know if I didn't look at them, and I was shocked to see that there were hundreds of tribes of all sizes near the tribe, and even the number of people was marked on them.
After knowing the meaning of the pattern, this map is no longer a rough pattern in Su Yu's eyes, but a map with a high degree of detail. There are also trails to each tribe, as well as patterns of forests, grasslands, and mountains.
Su Yu really wanted to see Ji Ni's panel, but unfortunately he didn't surrender, so naturally he couldn't see it.
However, Su Yu could also guess that he should have a talent for cartography, and not only that, but his sense of direction should be very good.
Su Xun's sense of direction is also very good, but he can't draw a map, it all depends on memory and feeling. But he alone has a sense of direction, and it is useless to be able to remember the road, after all, it is impossible for most people to remember the road they have walked at a glance, and Su Yu is the same, he is not a road idiot, he is very good, he wants to be a little more powerful, but his talent does not allow it.
Among the tribesmen, Su Yu did not find anyone who could draw maps.
Thinking of this, Su Yu felt that he couldn't let Ji Ni go, he had to find a way to subdue this talent, and the talent who drew the map couldn't be missed.
However, it is still impossible to subdue him on the first day, and he has to take the initiative to submit or surrender.
Compared to his submission, Su Yu wanted him to take the initiative to surrender.
If he hadn't surrendered after Su Yu found someone with a talent for cartography, Su Yu could only give up on him. It's impossible to keep them all the time, and it's useless to keep them without surrendering.
Su Yu looked at the animal skin map, the tribes on it were closest to the big river, and it took half a day to walk up, and there were also many tribes in the area between the tribe and the wolf mountain.
Seeing this, Su Yu was a little impressed by Ji Ni's ability.
Ji Ni must have been wandering around this area for a long time, otherwise he would not have been able to draw such a detailed map.
The current location of the Coming Out Tribe does not appear on the map, even the location of the Wolf Mountain camp and the old camp are on it.
But there is no one on the other side of the grassland, it seems that the animal skin is not big enough to be painted, but it seems to be painted, and there may be another animal skin that has not been found.
Su Yu took a closer look, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked like there were other maps.
Su Yu thought about it, their packages were all here, and there was still a place to hide things, so it was only on their bodies.
Haven't searched yet! Su Yu suddenly remembered.
Immediately taking the people with him, Su Yu returned to the prison where they were held.
Su Yu looked at Ji Ni when he came in, and Ji Ni only felt as if his whole body had been seen through, and he felt uncomfortable.
Now he sat on his knees on the hay with his hands tied behind his back.
"Untie the ropes from their hands......"
When Ji Ni heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he was fed up with the feeling of being tied up, which was really uncomfortable.
"Search them by the way!"
This sentence made Ji Ni feel cold all of a sudden, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
However, he didn't dare to have any strange and resistant thoughts, originally he thought that the patriarch had forgotten about this matter and could fool the past, but he didn't expect that what should have come came.
"Patriarch, I have found a lot of animal skins with such patterns from them." Soon, the search was completed, and the tribesman who searched the body came over with a pile of animal skins and said.
"Let's go!" Su Yu left expressionlessly, which made Ji Ni very scared, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back. He couldn't grasp the psychology of this patriarch, and he was very afraid that he would be of no value to him and would be killed and exposed to the wilderness.
It was the first time he had been captured, and he was afraid it would be the last. Ji Ni knew that he had left a bad impression on this patriarch, and if he didn't look good at him that day, he might be gone.
Now, surrender seems to be the best way out, and surrender will live. Ji Ni was entangled in his heart, he was from Fang Guo, if he took refuge in this tribe, he didn't know if he would be retaliated against.
If you surrender, if you see people from Fang Guo in the future, if they are found to have betrayed Fang Guo, they will definitely be hunted down. However, if you don't surrender, you may die tomorrow.
After making a choice in his heart for a long time, Ji Ni decided to surrender, and I will talk about it later, and it is important to survive now.
And he felt that the future of this patriarch would not be worse than that of Fang Guo, so he rushed at the glowing weapon and those cavalry, which were not something that Fang Guo could have.
Surrender may be a better choice, as for whether he will regret it, Ji Ni feels that being able to live now is the decision he has the least regret.
But now that the patriarch has left, it's not good for him to call people outside, in case he angers people, it's not good.
Ji Ni can only wait for the next time to express his willingness to surrender.
At this time, Su Yu was holding the animal skin and splicing it piece by piece.
There are quite a few of these animal skin maps, but only a part of the map is put together, and the content on them covers a wide area. There is even the location of the greedy wolf camp on the grassland, which is how long it took to run.
Su Yu really had to admire Ji Ni's perseverance.
"Patriarch, what do you think is the pattern of this place?"
Su Yu saw that this pattern, which he didn't recognize, appeared for the first time.
