The breeze blew by, bringing a bit of coolness, and the morning sun shone.
The leopard girl was lying on her side in the grass, falling asleep, when she suddenly heard footsteps. Her ears shook and she stood up straight. Turned out to be those little antelopes jumping around early in the morning!
It swung its tail and stared at the little antelopes with its little kitten head for a while. It would get beaten if it caught the little antelopes to eat, so forget it... The leopard girl swung her tail: Meow!
It's better to go hunting on your own.
A big two-legged hit would be extremely painful!
After Bao Mei left, it didn't take long for a group of people to come outside the Yanhuang tribe. The common feature of these people is that they carry large and small bags with them.
When Qiang came, he looked at the things that the tribesmen helped bring, and was very confused. He didn't know whether the people of the Yanhuang tribe could appreciate these things. He didn't force Xuehuayan, mainly because they had to get the shoes.
As long as they get a pair of 'shoes', he believes that as long as Wu Zhu studies more, they can always make the same thing. Of course, the Yanhuang tribe made it clear that it can be taught to them, provided that there is something to exchange with them.
Yesterday, he and Wu Zhu returned to the tribe and looked through everything in the tribe, but there was really nothing special. Apart from their tribe having better skills in making animal skins, there was nothing that they could use.
Because there was really no good stuff, he had no choice but to ask the tribesmen to bring over all the things they could get from the Yanhuang Tribe and let the Yanhuang Tribe see if there was anything they wanted.
Due to the arrival of the Helu tribe, Lin Xiao did not keep the other party waiting, and soon he finished washing and followed him out.
The animal skins were spread out on the ground like a garbage dump for recycling old items. The first animal skin contained stones, shells, and pearls. In short, they were just beautiful things, but of no use.
The men of the Yanhuang tribe had no interest in these things at all. Lin Xiao did notice that Ya secretly glanced at the colorful shells on the first animal skin.
Inside the second animal skin were some eggs, various sizes of bird eggs. Seeing Lin Xiao's eyes falling on the bird eggs, Mo explained: "These bird eggs were found near our tribe. Yes, it's edible, and it tastes pretty good!"
Lin Xiao nodded and his eyes fell on the third animal skin. There was a dagger inside the animal skin. To be precise, it was a metal dagger. He reached out and touched it. The body of the dagger was full of rust because it had not been polished. , the blade of the dagger is very dull and cannot cut anything at all.
"Where did this come from?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Half a year ago, a rogue used this thing to exchange food with our tribe," said the ignorant Qiang. "I didn't use it for long, and this thing became like this."
Half a year?
Lin Xiao pointed at the dagger with deep eyes and asked, "Can the ronin you mentioned still be found?"
Qiang shook his head, "He left a long time ago, and he was alone. He might have died on the grassland a long time ago."
"That's it..." Lin Xiao's tone was full of regret. This ronin actually had an iron weapon. It was a pity that he didn't see anyone, otherwise he might be able to get the method of making iron.
After looking around, apart from this dagger, Lin Xiao felt that other things were really useless. He thought for a while and picked up the dagger, then looked sideways at the people on the side and said: "If you want something, pick it out yourself. "
"Can we choose too?" Ya asked in a low voice, covering her mouth.
"Of course." The reason why Lin Xiao said this was mainly because of Ya. Ya didn't ask for anything during the whole process, but his eyes never left the colorful shell.
After all, Ya is a ten-year-old girl. Since she left the tribe, she has had nothing and struggled to survive every day. Now that her life is better, it is normal to want some decorations.
Just when everyone was looking for something, Lie suddenly withdrew the hand that was rummaging through the debris. Lin Xiao turned his head and looked over, only to see Lie turning his hand over, with traces of blood oozing out from his index finger.
"What's going on?" Lin Xiao grabbed Lie's hand with concern and frowned slightly.
Lie didn't care, he stuck out his tongue and said, "I don't know, I was trying to find two shells, but this black thing scratched my hand."
Qiang helplessly pointed to the black fragment in Lie's hand and explained: "Sorry, this fragment must have fallen in accidentally yesterday."
Lin Xiao looked at the fragment without blinking. He picked it up from Lie's hand and looked at it carefully for a while. Is this Tao?
"Where did this fragment come from?" Lin Xiao pinched the fragment and kept his expression calm.
He is not excited!
Really not excited!
OMG!
pottery!
Today he found not only iron tools but also pottery among the garbage.
"Ah, it was made by a ronin nearby. He made small toys out of mud and gave them to children. Some children in the tribe liked them very much and would run to the ronin gathering place to exchange things from our tribe with him." Qiang explained.
As he said this, he thought that his teenage boy was one of them, and even took a stone tool from him in exchange for it. He was such a prodigal thing that I really wanted to beat him to death!
"Is that so, where does the ronin who made this thing live?" Lin Xiao seemed to ask casually, "Let's give Ariel two toys as well."
strong:? ? ?
Just when Lie was about to say that he didn't need it, he was pinched by Lin Xiao and immediately shut up obediently. He knew that A Xiao was definitely not trying to get toys for him!
Qiang replied: "At the junction of the Colin tribe and our tribe, those rogues are very annoying. When our tribe drives them out, they go to the Colin tribe. When the Colin tribe arrives, they run to us." In the tribe, you can't even drive me away!"
Phew, luckily you didn't kick people away!
A person who can make pottery is a talented person. If he can use pottery to make simple toys, his craftsmanship must be very good, and his grasp of the temperature at which pottery is fired must be at the level of a master.
Have you not discovered the value of Tao? You actually want to drive away such a prodigal?
"What's his name?" Lin Xiao asked.
Qiang scratched his head and said, "I don't know the name."
"All right."
After asking where the ronin lived, Lin Xiao had an idea, and then he and Qiang continued to talk about the exchange.
Because he was in a good mood and also hoped that the people of the Helu tribe would leave quickly, Lin Xiao agreed to whatever Qiang wanted to exchange, and even gave them the methods of making straw sandals, backpacks and other things, but did not give them the method of extracting salt.
Just when they were about to send away the Helu tribesmen, everyone heard a grunting sound.
A spotted hyena emerged from the bushes.
The people of the Helu tribe were carrying objects of all sizes, and when they suddenly saw such a spotted hyena, they were immediately in a panic.
At the same time, Qiang noticed that the female totem warrior from the Yanhuang tribe suddenly dodged and stood in front of him. She took out the knife on her waist and held the dagger tightly.
Ya's light footsteps gradually approached, and the prey roared from the depths of its throat.
Yamei Peak moved horizontally, protecting the Qiang behind it. The spotted hyena smelled the smell of humans in the air and stopped slightly, but did not leave immediately.
The animal's paws stepped on the grass, making a rustling sound.
Ya stared at the spotted hyena very alertly and calmly.
Whoosh!
During the battle between the two sides, Ya quickly rushed forward, holding the knife in his hand, to avoid the spotted hyena's attack.
Every time the attack failed, the spotted hyena, which had poor patience, had obviously been angered by Ya. The next moment, one person and one animal collided again. This time, the spotted hyena's paw missed, and instead was slashed directly in the neck by Ya. superior.
Blood dripped down its neck and onto the ground.
Seeing that Ya had dealt with the spotted hyena cleanly, Lin Xiao said softly: "Ya, well done."
Yaden suddenly became shy. In fact, this was just a routine operation, but Wu Zhu rarely went out hunting, so she was a little embarrassed to be praised by Lin Xiao.
The other people in the Yanhuang tribe are still a little jealous, so the chance to show off like this is gone! If they had known that Lin Xiao Wu Zhu was going to praise someone, they would have moved faster!
When Lin Xiao turned around, he saw the expressions of 'black question marks' on the faces of everyone in the Helu tribe.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao asked, seeing the confused expressions on the faces of the Helu tribesmen.
Qiang swallowed his saliva and shook his head forcefully and calmly: "Nothing, then... let's go first!"
"etc!"
When Lin Xiao called him, Qiang didn't know what Lin Xiao was going to do and was stunned for a moment.
"Do you want this spotted hyena?"
Qiang: "?"
Lin Xiao: "If you want, you can take it together."
"Give it to us? You don't want it?" Qiang looked at Lin Xiao uncertainly. The Yanhuang tribe could definitely keep this prey and eat it.
After Lin Xiao said "no", the people from the Helu tribe didn't say much and left with the spotted hyena's body.
The Helu tribe and others found that they had received food from the Yanhuang tribe for two consecutive days. The tribe also agreed to teach them things such as straw sandals and backpacks. This new neighbor was so nice!
They hope to have two more neighbors like this.
After seeing these people off, Lin Xiao went back to where the ronin were and asked, "Does any of you know how to get to the ronin gathering place at the junction of the Kelin tribe and the Helu tribe?"
Cato bumped into his father, and Cato's father suddenly raised his hand and said, "I know!"
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Then please take me and Lei there after lunch."
"No problem!" Cato's father nodded sharply.
While eating, Lin Xiao shook the pottery shard in his hand slightly and kept looking at it. Lei curiously asked: "A Xiao, do you want to find the person who made this thing?"
"Um."
Lei glanced at the broken piece of pottery strangely, "Why are you looking for him?"
Lin Xiao's lips twitched slightly: "Because he is a talent! Not only do I want to find him, I also want him to join our tribe!"
thunder:? ? ?
strong:? ? ?
People from the Yanhuang tribe:? ? ?
After lunch, Lin Xiao did not stop, but took only three people, Lei, Lie, and Cato's father, and went straight to the Ronin gathering place over there.
The group of people quickly crossed the grassland and walked on the vast green ocean.
Lin Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath. Even though he was fanning fiercely with the cattail leaf fan in his hand, he still felt hot.
Finally, when he could hardly walk anymore, Lin Xiao saw some human figures.
Because the busy men and women live secretly in the territories of other tribes, they will always encounter tribesmen when collecting wild fruits. At this time, they will suffer some hardships, but even with this life, their faces are still filled with smiles. .
Probably just because they are still alive.
As soon as Lin Xiao and others appeared, everyone noticed them and stood ready. Especially when they saw the totem pattern on Lei's arm, they all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The tribesmen are coming!
