Chapter 11: To Blackwater
"Departure"
After a simple breakfast, the group went straight to the Blackwater tribe with the finished pottery.
A few clay pots were even just taken out of the kiln this morning, the bowls were made a lot before, the number of pots was not much, and they were used by everyone as soon as they were burned, and they were used by everyone to hold water for cooking, and finally there was no need to live the days when dozens of people stared at a pot.
The Black Water Tribe is located in the southeast of Teng Snake, according to Shui Er's description, Song Xuan estimated that it should be in the lower reaches of the river, but no one has walked along the river, so he still has to follow Shui Er over the mountains and mountains.
There are more people on this trip, each person is divided into a few pottery, and the weight is quite relaxed, except for a few pottery pots that are a little troublesome, it will not affect the activity too much.
Since everyone was carrying a few sheep on their backs, everyone always felt a little restrained in their actions, for fear that one would accidentally break them.
When packing, it was also wrapped repeatedly, wrapped in several layers of animal skin, and then stuffed into the innermost.
Although Song Xuan has been near the tribe these days, he has a lot of activities every day, and finally he doesn't need Shi Meng and them to reduce his speed to take care of him like he just did.
However, in order to reduce Song Xuan's burden, the things on his body were still the least in the entire team, and he only brought animal skins and a small amount of food needed for camping in the wild.
Song Xuan walked in the middle of the entire team, but he didn't have to worry about safety, most of the places he walked were similar roads, although they were not too spacious, but there was no problem for one or two people to pass.
However, even if he took care of him repeatedly, after walking for a day, Song Xuan could only lie on the ground weakly, for Song Xuan, the mountain road was too difficult to walk.
However, after smelling the fragrance of the broth, Song Xuan still got up, he was also a divine envoy, and he couldn't ignore the image too much, the great divine envoy Song still had a bit of idol baggage.
After a full meal, Song Xuan finally came back to life, and in order to hurry at noon, he only gnawed some jerky.
In order to preserve the dried meat of the snake for a long time, the one that is roasted is hard, and it can knock out the teeth in one bite, even if it is torn off a little, it is very laborious, Song Xuan just gave up after two bites, and finally just picked some wild fruits to make do.
The place to rest at night is definitely not as good as in the tribe, although there are tents, but obviously there are not enough for a dozen people, three tents, each tent can squeeze three people, and the others have to find a place to sleep.
Fortunately, the place was leeward, and it was not too cold after lighting the bonfire, but in fact, except for Song Xuan, everyone else spent half of the year in the wild, and this time the supplies were sufficient, so there was no problem.
Although the water tribe is not close, it is good to really walk, and on the fourth day after leaving Teng Snake, Shui Er happily announced that he could blackwater the tribe today.
After detouring for a long time, the road returned to the river, but Song Xuan didn't know if this was the one in the tribe.
The terrain downstream is obviously much better, basically there are no big ups and downs, and the road is naturally a lot easier.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Song Xuan could feel the determination of the Blackwater tribe to move from the mountains in the north to the plains, and the environment still changed a lot.
The Teng Snake tribe stopped and went, and finally picked a cave and chose the most convenient way to live.
After a short break at noon, after walking for a while, I saw the Blackwater tribe on the bank of the river in the distance, and the houses looked not much different from the previous Teng Snake tribe from a distance, they were all thatched houses.
"Oracle! Tribe! ”
After Shui Er saw his tribe, he was also excited to introduce it to Song Xuan, and after a few days of getting along, Shui Er also learned several words, this sentence was said in Mandarin, although it was not so standard, but it could be understood.
With Bentou, Song Xuan walked a lot briskly, and Shui Er walked quickly to the tribe after walking for a while, probably going back to report.
There are no particularly tall trees along the river, and Song Xuan is not in a hurry, he is swaying slowly, just enough to give water a little more time.
Seeing the houses of the Black Water Tribe, Shi Meng and they were obviously still a little envious, and the environment here seemed to be better than that of Teng Snake.
Of course, this must also be due to the fact that the Blackwater Tribe has been building for so many years, there are fewer big trees around, and the roads are more spacious, which looks more popular.
By the time Song Xuan and his party walked to the door of the tribe, there were already people waiting here in the Blackwater Tribe, and the atmosphere in which the two sides met was also very good.
This time it was a coincidence, the leader of the Blackwater tribe was also in the tribe, the second leader was called Shui Er, and the big leader was naturally called Shui Yi, and Song Xuan arranged a name for him very brainlessly.
However, looking at the name translated by Shi Meng, Song Xuan also didn't expect that there would be such a poetic name in the primitive society.
Shi Meng pointed to the water, and then pointed to the clouds in the sky, water clouds! It is obviously not in line with the temperament of the person in front of him, but it is not his fault that other people's names are good, and Song Xuan also said hello to Shui Yun with a smile.
In addition to the leader, the Blackwater tribe also has a special person, that is, their witch, Song Xuan knew from hearing the name that this person should be similar to himself, he is a big god stick.
"Divine envoy, Shi Meng leader, please!"
Wu's status was obviously very high in the Blackwater Tribe, and after entering the house, he sat side by side with Shui Yun.
Compared to the enthusiastic others, Wu was obviously much colder, except for a greeting when they first met, he held a scepter in his hand and didn't say a word.
The witch's dress is also more complicated than the others, the animal skin is very elaborate and complete at first glance, in addition, there are many ornaments on the body, most of them are animal teeth, bird feathers, and a fish-shaped pattern is carved on the stone on the forehead.
This pattern can be seen everywhere in the Black Water Tribe, and it is their totem, and it seems that in terms of faith, Black Water is indeed better than the Teng Snake.
Song Xuan also knew about Teng Snake at the beginning, but unfortunately their witch was sacrificed in the previous battle, and they didn't have time to choose a new witch in a hurry, until Song Xuan came over, everyone didn't have this idea, and they just wanted to fill their stomachs.
Heishui's house is quite sturdy, the big pillar in the middle is as thick as a person, and the surrounding wooden walls are also covered with mud, although it is a wooden house, the wind outside will not affect the house at all.
Song Xuan looked around carefully, in addition to wanting to know more about them, he also wanted to learn, after all, there were many things that Teng Snake needed to build next.
It's always right to learn from their experience, in the two wars, Teng Snake lost a lot of people, and many skilled people were sacrificed, and if you look at the Blackwater tribe more, you can also take fewer detours.
