When winter came, the Yanjiao tribe had already made preparations for winter under Wu's advance notice.
This winter, the Yanjiao tribe has a fresh breath, not as quiet as in previous winters. Even in the area near the foot of the mountain, people can often be seen coming out for activities. This is extremely rare.
The warriors are training and even try to hunt prey on the edge of the tribe. If it was in the past, such behavior would undoubtedly be regarded as a lunatic by others. The hunting song said that going out to hunt in winter is very dangerous, so everyone formed a group. A tacit understanding, not going out in winter.
But now it's different. Everyone seems to have a strong energy. This energy is in the heart and can't be vented. It makes the whole body uncomfortable. , For the first time, the idea of going to the edge of hunting has arisen. As long as you don't go deep in the mountains and forests, you should take a walk on the edge, right
There were still people worried about being scolded at first, but they were relieved when they found that many people on the mountain were hanging around outside.
"Can we really cross this river and go back to our old place?" a soldier asked his companion beside him.
"Definitely, you suspect Wu?!"
"No! There is absolutely no doubt... Wu said something like this?"
"Hey, tell me, what do the people from the outside world look like? Do they have more hands? One less eye?" A soldier came over and interjected.
"I heard that there are eight hands on the totem of the eight tribes! They must have eight hands too! Definitely!"
"There are so many? It's fun to listen to, I'll grab one and take a look."
For the people from the outer tribes, the "savages" who were born and raised in the Yanjiao tribe, many of them have not yet fully used the new way of thinking. Together, when they get together to discuss, they all use the tone of talking about beasts.
Since the incident in the fire pond, Wu decided to reveal more information, and also drew some totems of the outer tribes and a very brief description. There was no way, Wu himself didn't know the detailed information, so he still got the information from it. It was copied from the animal skin scrolls left by the ancestors. As for whether the people from the outer tribes really had eight hands, Wu still wondered, because the ancestors left too few things.
Not only the warriors of the tribe, but also other members of the tribe, the elderly, children, and women, have different winter activities than before. Even the children who live in the caves have more courses in winter.
It's just that no matter where you are, everyone's discussion of foreign tribesmen is always a little weird.
Wu once went down the mountain to make an unannounced visit. After hearing everyone's discussion, Wu felt very tired. When he went up the mountain, he sighed and stooped. But there is no way, still have to wait for Shao Xuan to come back to make specific plans.
And Shao Xuan, who was missed by the tribesmen, along with Zhacha and Yang Sui, followed the direction of the Changzhou tribe's fleet and arrived at the Changzhou tribe.
When Shao Xuan arrived at the Changzhou Tribe, it had already snowed for a long time. The snow was not too big. After half a day, some places were not covered. This was not seen in the Yanjiao Tribe. If it was in the Yanjiao tribe, it would take less than half an hour to pile up a layer on the ground.
The Changzhou tribe is divided into land sites and water sites. Usually, they will make a way out not far from the river bank to pass by, but when they are loading and unloading or some special times, they will block all this area. , the far-travelers in the past have to make a detour.
Fortunately, at this time, it was not the time when the river bank was blocked. There was a small team of far-striders passing by in front of Shao Xuan and the others.
"Shao Xuan, do you want a boat when you come to the Changzhou tribe?" Yang Sui asked.
"No, I'm looking for someone."
"Looking for someone? Do you know someone from the Changzhou tribe?"
"do not know."
"Then who are you looking for?" Yang Sui wondered.
"Our tribe." Shao Xuan paused, then said, "If there are, they should be considered tourists."
"Tourists? Are you here to look for tourists?!" Yang Sui was surprised.
The so-called tourists, aren't they all those people whose tribes were wiped out but were not captured or captured, and who were unwilling to be slaves
Shao Xuan is a totem warrior, which means that the fire of the Yanjiao tribe is still there, and the fire is still there. How can those people become tourists? Evicted
Shao Xuan didn't say much. Yang Sui didn't understand it, and he didn't plan to ask. The thing he wanted to do most now was to find a boat that was specially rented for far-travelers. He wanted to go to a room and have a good sleep. Eat some hot food, preferably some hot soup.
Like some big tribes, the Changzhou tribe also has a place to live for travelers or passers-by, but it has to be exchanged for things, which is very expensive.
Yang Sui picked a boat, and it was also the boat where the expedition team lived. I gave some shell coins to the people of the Changzhou tribe, and he didn't want to go out when he got into the room.
After Shao Xuan drank some hot water, he decided to go out to find someone.
"Hey, Shao Xuan, don't go out for too long, and if you leave the Changzhou tribe, don't leave silently and call me, otherwise, if I stay here alone, I will be slaughtered. With me here, I can show you the way." Yang Sui said.
Shao Xuan responded and walked out the door. He didn't believe that people who dared to run around alone and survived until now would be slaughtered so easily.
Chacha foraged in the surrounding mountains and forests, Shao Xuan was not worried about it, but it was not used to it when it entered the Changzhou tribe, so let it harm the beasts outside.
After Shao Xuan got off the boat, he looked back at the big boat that was docked on the river bank. He observed it carefully just now. Although the boat is not too delicate, it is sturdy enough to fit many people.
Taking back his sight, Shao Xuan continued to walk in one direction. He asked before that the place where the tourists live is over there.
There are patrols of the Changzhou tribe around, staring defensively at every stranger who passes by. As long as these people cross the border, they will shoot mercilessly. The so-called crossing the border means that one cannot enter the habitat of the Changzhou tribe on land, and secondly, they cannot get on the boat at will.
When Shao Xuan walked over, he was also stared at, but he probably felt that Shao Xuan was not a threat, and he was not dressed gorgeously, so he didn't pay more attention. As long as Shao Xuan did not cross the line they drew, they would not Give Shao Xuan one more look.
Snow is flying. It's not big, but it's very dense, and it's a bit faster than when I came here.
Shao Xuan walked on the land without any shelter, and let the snowflakes fall on him.
Most of the people of the Changzhou tribe stayed on the boat most of the time. Even if they returned to the tribe, they stayed in the boat, with food and lodging in it. They were used to the life on the boat, but they felt uncomfortable when they arrived on land. Therefore, Shao Xuan walked all the way, and there were not many people moving in the direction away from the river bank and the woods, but there were many people in the boats docked by the bank. Eating, drinking, talking and laughing are endless.
The shore was almost full of large boats, and most of the outgoing fleets returned, filling the wide river and extending far ahead. Shao Xuan walked for more than ten minutes without seeing his head. Really boat river.
When the large ships on the shore gradually became sparse, Shao Xuan also came to an empty area.
This is the dividing area between the Changzhou tribe and the tourist residential area.
Shao Xuan walked over. Compared with the warm atmosphere on the fleet of the Changzhou tribe in front, the tourist area was much deserted. Although there were some people chatting, laughing and roaring, the atmosphere was different. Like a slum in a dark corner of a bustling city.
There are also houses on the land here, because they cannot enter the territory of the Changzhou tribe, the space is limited, and they cannot go deep into the woods, but there are also a lot of tourists. Since they cannot go horizontally, they will expand vertically. As a result, a narrow and long tourist living area was formed.
There are also many boats docked near the river bank, but compared to the big boats of the Changzhou tribe, the boats here are very small and much simpler.
In some small boats four to five meters long, a simple shed is built, and people live in it. In winter, they also spend time in the boat.
Sometimes when the wind was strong, the boats would shake so badly that if they weren't tied to the stakes on the shore, they would probably have been blown away in a single blow.
The people here work for the Changzhou tribe, carry wood, chop wood, transport things, and do all the dirty work. Remuneration, this is still when the employer is in a good mood, and in a bad mood, sometimes nothing can be obtained.
These are all what Shao Xuan heard from Yang Sui. Perhaps, the real situation is much worse and darker than what Yang Sui said.
As for the tourists from the Yanjiao tribe, Shao Xuan just came here to look for it, and he was not sure if he could find it.
How to find it? Should I write a sign here and hang it? Or go all the way and shout all the way
Thinking about how to find those people, Shao Xuan paid attention to the movements on both sides as he walked.
When he came to one place, Shao Xuan heard the sound of arguing in front of a wooden house, and the cracking sound of wooden blocks breaking.
"Jiaowu, stop!" someone shouted.
horn
Shao Xuan once heard Yan Shuo say that some tourists from the Yanjiao tribe would add a "Yan" or "horn" to their names or their descendants. Many of the names with the word "flame" or "horn" are not necessarily from the Yanjiao tribe, but when they meet Shao Xuan, they will ask questions, and most of the time they return disappointed. Now he is going to ask.
Just after taking a step there, Shao Xuan saw a man who was taller and stronger than the others strode out of the wooden house. The fur coat on his body is not thick, it has shed in many places, there are many holes, it looks like it has been worn for a long time, and the beard is unshaven, but if you look closely, this person is actually very young, more than Shao Xuan. Not much.
The man was full of anger, and he didn't know if his face was red from anger or from the wind. There were people chasing out the door behind him, shouting the name "Jiaowu". But the person who came out in front didn't look back, and left at a faster pace.
"Oh, why are you angry?" the man whispered.
"That's right, don't you just ask casually, oh, that guy's strength is stronger again." Someone in the room said.
Hearing their conversation, Shao Xuan looked at the person who had gone far and quickly chased after them.
"Hey, the front." Shao Xuan shouted.
The person in front did not stop, but stepped faster.
"Jiaowu!"
The person in front just used it to run.
