Chapter Thirty-Nine: Heading to the Exchange
The exchange conference started the day after tomorrow, and it would take a day to rush over, so it can be said that Song Xuan came at the right time this time, if he came over, I am afraid that he could only barely catch up.
Since it is the host tribe this time, the Blackwater tribe has to go over in advance to make arrangements, the two sides reminisce about the old days, arrange the next trip, and the afternoon has passed.
Shui Yun was going to use their boat to help Teng Snake pull things over, but when he saw Teng Snake's canoe, he didn't mention it again, after all, Teng Snake's boat was not smaller than all of them, and the sharp ends still looked a little oppressive.
The location of the conference is still downstream of the Blackwater tribe, and the trade conference has been going on in this area for decades, and there have been several locations, each of which is in charge of several nearby tribes, and everyone takes turns.
After driving in the river for most of the day, until the sun was about to set, this reached the foot of a small mountain range, and the Teng Snake tribe went downstream, and it was mainly plains, and this kind of low hill was not very common, but it was very conspicuous in this area.
"Oracle! Stop ahead! ”
Before it arrived, Shui Yun beckoned Song Xuan to start landing, in a river bay, there were still a lot of piles standing on the shore, just lean the boat over and hang the cable directly.
"No one has come yet, it looks like we'll have to wait until tomorrow......"
In the small boat harbor, there are only two boats, Blackwater and Tengsnake.
Song Xuan also learned from his conversation with Shui Yun that most of the tribes in this area communicate by boat, especially when carrying goods, it is much easier to use a boat to carry it than to pull it with manpower.
In order to ensure safety, you have to go inside after landing.
Not far from the foot of the mountain there is a row of caves, some of which are obscured by branches and stones.
"Divine envoy, you can also clean a cave here, so that it will be convenient to exchange it later!"
But now it must be too late to pack up, put most of the goods into the cave to which the Blackwater tribe belongs, leave one person to guard, take a few samples, walk until dark, and finally reach the end of the trip.
The valley between the two hills is flat and there is not much vegetation in it.
There are also a lot of simple sheds on both sides, but because no one has maintained them for a long time, they seem to be dilapidated, but fortunately, the wood used is relatively stout, and it is relatively strong.
I tore a branch and cleaned it, lit the bonfire, cooked something casually and began to rest.
Early the next morning.
Song Xuan woke up today and found that the valley was not big, and he couldn't see it clearly yesterday, after the flat land about fifty or sixty meters wide, the slopes on both sides gradually increased.
The people of the Blackwater tribe have already started to work, cleaning up the debris in the valley a little, there has been no one living for a long time, there are many small trees growing in it, and some of them even extend directly to the middle of the valley, which need to be cleaned up.
When everyone was almost busy, the man standing on the top of the valley shouted:
"Chief, someone is coming, it seems to be someone from the bear tribe"
"Divine Messenger, let's go, let's go and have a look!"
As soon as everyone walked to the mouth of the valley, they saw a black and strong primitive man walking towards the valley with more than a dozen people, and Shui Yun greeted excitedly when he saw it:
"Hahaha, Bear Mountain...... Long time no see"
"Leader Shuiyun, long time no see!"
Obviously, Shui Yun's enthusiasm is also quite explosive among primitive people, and the stout man in front of him is also a little unbearable, but it can still be seen that the relationship between everyone is quite good, at least on the surface.
Seeing Song Xuan and the others beside Shui Yun, who were slightly different in costume, Xiong Shan asked:
"Shuiyun, what is this?"
"Haha, this is the oracle of the Teng Snake Tribe, this is the first time to participate in the exchange conference!" , Shui Yun enthusiastically introduced Xiong Shan.
"Teng Snake Tribe?"
"Yes, I only moved here last year......
"Sensi? What does this mean?"
Shui Yun patted his head, and then remembered that this way of speaking was only used by the Teng Snake Tribe, and the other tribes still couldn't understand it, so he explained it slightly.
"Sensi, ¥##¥ twitter......&%......"
Although the Teng Snake Tribe has completely replaced the original language with Mandarin, it still has to use a familiar way to communicate here, but fortunately, Song Xuan can also listen to it now, and with Shi Yong on the side to help translate, it is not a big problem to communicate.
"Hello Hello"
After greeting each other, the two sides quickly became acquainted with each other, and they both came to participate in the exchange conference, and the atmosphere was still very harmonious.
The bear tribe is not far from here, it is also a small tribe, the tribe has a total of seventy or eighty people, because there are slightly more men, so the combat effectiveness is quite strong, from the use of bears as totems can also be seen, all of them are very advocating strength.
Just as everyone was talking, many tribes rushed over one after another, and Song Xuan also followed Shui Yun out to recognize people, after all, the first time they met, they had to be at least familiar.
For the newly joined Teng Snake tribe, each tribe seemed a little curious, this silently, a not small tribe suddenly appeared, for the origin of the Teng Snake, one by one is trying to find a way to knock on the side and ask.
But this is not a secret, as long as someone asks, Song Xuan will ask Shi Yong to talk to them briefly, only to know that there is still a relationship between this area and many tribes.
Several tribes, like Teng Snake Heishui, were bullied by the Black Feather tribe and had to move south to develop, and the Black Feather Tribe, as the only overlord in the north, was indeed strong by sucking the blood of the surrounding tribes.
So everyone soon had a common language, but some tribes have been over for hundreds of years, and their previous grievances are not so deep, but they learned from the word of mouth of the old people of the tribe that there is such a large tribe in the north, which cannot be easily provoked.
For Teng Snake to have so many people, everyone is happy for Teng Snake, after all, a tribe before Teng Snake, when they finally came over, there were only a dozen people left, and after a few years, they were surviving on the edge of the dead clan.
Shi Yong also knew this tribe, and after hearing the name, he said:
"I thought the sheep tribe was gone, but I ran here with the rest of the people...... It's a pity, who told them that their previous location was really that good! ”
The sheep tribe used to be a small tribe below the black feathers, because of the good geographical location, rich products, and being in a basin surrounded by mountains, there is no need to worry about safety.
But it's good to die, but they were targeted by the black feather tribe where they lived, and the powerful black feather directly sent people to occupy the magpie's nest and robbed the place, but it was said that the sheep tribe took the initiative to join the black feather, but everyone also tacitly knew that there were still some lucky survivors here.
