The environment and conditions of the tourist residential area are naturally incomparable with the boats of the Changzhou tribe.
Yang Sui looked at the dilapidated wooden houses around, and there were large gaps between many of the logs. He seriously doubted whether he would freeze to death if he lived there.
Still, freezing to death is better than being slaughtered.
Shao Xuan brought Yang Sui to brother Yanzhi's wooden house. Yanzhuo and Jiaowu went out to change animal skins. Before they came back, Yanzhi was repairing the wooden house in the snow.
Regarding Yang Sui, Yan Zhi and the others would inevitably be suspicious and defensive. If it wasn't for Shao Xuan, Yan Zhi and the others would not have allowed Yang Sui to enter the house.
"You go first, I'll help repair the wooden house." Shao Xuan said to Yang Sui.
"Okay." Yang Sui immediately got into the house, it was too cold outside, he didn't want to stay outside and get cold.
A lot of the wood that Yanzhi brought back had not been chopped before. Shao Xuan chopped it three or two times with the knife and handed it to Yanzhi.
Yan Zhi looked at the section on the wooden board, it was much smoother than the one they cut by themselves, and he could see how fast the knife came up. This is the power of totem warriors.
Thinking that he would also have such power, Yan Zhi felt a burst of fire in his heart.
After the wooden house was reinforced, Yanzhuo and Jiaowu also returned with their belongings. However, they didn't come back directly with the animal skins, but wrapped a layer of hay on the outside of the animal skins, which looked like they were taking hay back to make beds or light a fire.
This approach is more concealed and cautious, and will not attract the attention of others. After all, these two people suddenly came back with too many animal skins, and they looked wrong.
As soon as he entered the room, Shao Xuan found that the attitude of Jiaowu and the others towards Yang Sui was very subtle. They were cautious and cautious, and they were defensive, but they were much less than the other two emotions.
When Shao Xuan and Yan Zhi entered the room, Yang Sui was bragging about what he had seen and heard about this trip. After exaggeration and modification, Jiao Wu was stunned, even Yan Zhuo and Yan Zhen were stunned. Heard it with gusto. Although I know Yang Sui's words are not entirely true, but what he said is really fascinating.
Seeing Shao Xuan coming in, the most impatient Jiao Wu hurriedly asked Shao Xuan: "Yang Sui said that he is a candidate for their tribe witch, is it true?"
Shao Xuan looked at Yang Sui, and seeing that he didn't care to say it, he nodded, "Yes."
As soon as they got Shao Xuan's confirmation, the eyes of several people looking at Yang Sui became more obvious.
Witch, that's a tribal witch!
Although he is still only a candidate, a candidate who can be regarded as a witch must be a very, very powerful person. Having grown up so big and living in the Changzhou Tribe for so many years, Yan Zhi and the others have never seen a single witch, not even the Changzhou Tribe.
Shao Xuan now knows how these people came to be cautious about Yang Sui. Perhaps, Yang Sui revealed his identity after seeing the psychology and character of Jiao Wu and the others, so that he could stay with him here.
Many people hold a sense of awe towards witches, and Yan Zhi belongs to this category, probably because of the high status of witches in the Changzhou tribe. But if it is the tourists around the rain tribe, the mentality is different. The tribe that can burn the witch to death after the failure of Wu Qiuyu, the status of the witch is far inferior to other tribes. Of course, if he can successfully ask for rain, Wu's status will naturally rise a lot.
"By the way, when Yanzhuo and I went to change animal skins, I heard that another tourist was killed." Jiaowu said with a serious look on his face.
"I heard that he was killed when he was going to change food, and the body was thrown into the river." Yan Zhuo also told what he had inquired about.
"Who killed it? People from the Changzhou tribe?" Yang Sui asked suspiciously.
"No," Yan Zhi shook his head, "It's a long-distance team."
"Every year, many tourists die here at the hands of the far-striders. The Changzhou Tribe only allows tourists to live here. As long as it doesn't make a big deal, they won't care. Besides, they don't want to be next to their own tribe. , there are too many tourists." Yan Zhi explained lightly. For these, he has seen it a long time ago and is used to it.
In fact, it is not only the Changzhou tribe here, no matter which tribe you are in, the number of tourists around is always relatively stable and will not exceed the range that the local tribe can accept. As for the private disputes and killings, the tribe's people also acquiesced. Someone helped them clean up, and they were naturally happy to watch the fun.
Yanzhuo and Jiaowu were very cautious when they went out to change animal skins, and they used hay to cover up. In addition to guarding against other people in the tourist area, they also guarded against those tourists who temporarily stopped in the Changzhou tribe. , those are all totem warriors, and if they really make trouble, they are more threatening than those in the tourist area.
"It's them?!" Yang Sui looked at Shao Xuan, "I thought those people were not good people before, and they were discussing something together. It turned out that they were going to kill people."
Shao Xuan recalled the people he met when he got off the ship with Yang Sui, it should be when they returned to the ship after killing people.
The atmosphere in the room was a little dignified.
"Be careful these days, the weather is better, let's leave." Shao Xuan said.
The weather here is different from that of the Yanjiao tribe across the river. It doesn't snow all the time in winter. There are many sunny days, and even heavy snow is rare.
Hearing Shao Xuan's words, Yan Zhi and the others were looking forward to it again. This time, they really left here. They wanted to go back to the tribe, not to be tricked into an unknown place.
"Yang Sui, when will the heavy snow come?" Shao Xuan asked.
"It should be at night, wait, I'll take a look." Yang Sui pushed the window open a crack and looked at the sky.
Yan Zhi and the others did not dare to speak out, for fear of disturbing this witch candidate looking at the weather, and at the same time thinking in their hearts, worthy of being a witch candidate, they can still see the weather!
Half a minute later, Yang Sui closed the window: "Before it gets dark, a heavy snow will begin to fall, tomorrow morning it will be a little lighter, but it will continue to snow heavily after that. After about three days, the snow will stop completely. There are a few Sunny, and later, I can't see it right now."
No matter what happens in the days to come, at least the weather in the near future has been revealed by Yang Sui, and it is more accurate than the witch of the Changzhou tribe.
Seeing the admiration in Yan Zhi's eyes, Yang Sui became proud again, "I am Wu's first candidate!"
"It's amazing!" Jiao Wu is a person who is easy to show his emotions, and immediately began to praise.
If the witches from the Yanjiao tribe were here, these people would probably kneel down and worship. It seems that the witches are very good at fooling people, Shao Xuan thought.
Just thinking about it, Shao Xuan heard an eagle chirping. The sound was not loud, and Yan Zhi couldn't hear it with his hearing. However, Yang Sui, who was bragging with Jiao Wu, paused, his eyes drifting out.
"Jiaowu, you go out and drag in the things that fell on the ground outside." Shao Xuan said.
"The thing that fell to the ground? What is it?"
Jiao Wu walked out of the door suspiciously and looked around. The surrounding houses already knew that there was heavy snowfall in the past two days, and they had also repaired the house. Now everyone has closed their doors and windows and stayed at home.
The ground and the roof were all white.
"I didn't see anything." Jiao Wu muttered. He looked round and round, carefully distinguishing whether there was any suspicious object on the ground, whether it was what Shao Xuan said he was going to drag into the house, but, except for snow, he saw nothing.
The Yan Zhi people in the room also wondered, what happened outside
Just as he was about to ask Shao Xuan, Yan Zhi heard a "bang" outside.
"What's wrong?" Yan Zhi asked Jiao Wu outside.
Jiaowu pushed open the door vigorously, and said to the people in the room, "Noye Yeye... wild boar!!"
Just now, Jiaowu was looking around, but he didn't pay attention to the sky. When he heard the sound from the sky, when he looked over, he found a big bird swooping towards this side.
Jiao Wu's first thought was to run, but as soon as he took two steps with his feet, he felt something hit him in the air and fell beside him. Turn around and see, a wild boar! It's quite big!
Look at the sky again, the eagle has already flew high again, and soon disappeared from Jiaowu's sight.
Looking at the dead boar on the ground but still warm, Jiaowu couldn't make up his mind, so he could only stammer and ask the people in the room.
Hearing what Jiao Wu said, Yan Zhi and the others were also puzzled. Wild boar? How can there be wild boars
"That's it! Drag it in!" Before Shao Xuan could speak, Yang Sui said impatiently. He is hungry now.
"But..." Yan Zhi and the others were worried that the wild boars outside were someone else's prey, and that there would be a death fight if they grabbed the prey. They didn't want to conflict with people now. It was already very eye-catching because of the totem thing before, and even the Changzhou tribe noticed this.
The Changzhou tribe can allow tourists to live here, but the totem warriors are absolutely not allowed. If the Jiaowu brothers are really totem warriors, they will be driven out immediately. In winter, in such a cold day, there are various Dangerous, there is basically no way to survive after being kicked out. They can only endure, and even the little bit of strength in their bodies has to be controlled. Fortunately, after that day, the totem never appeared again.
It's okay to be cautious, just, wild boars... what a treat! Right at your doorstep!
Several people hesitated, and Jiao Wu glanced at the wild boar on the ground outside, then looked at Shao Xuan, his eyes back and forth.
"Drag in. That's our prey." Shao Xuan said.
Now that Shao Xuan said something, Jiao Wu immediately dragged the wild boar outside in.
"Peel it off." Yan Zhuo said to his wife, and then walked out: "I'll go and clean up the blood outside."
Yan Zhi also opened the window, carefully paying attention to the surroundings. Living in the tourist area, you have to be careful and careful, after all, they don't have enough strength.
Shao Xuan originally wanted to leave and go for a walk in the nearby mountains, but he grabbed the things without thinking. It's just that the guy threw the captured prey and ran away again. It was not willing to stay on the territory of the Changzhou tribe, and was still happy in the mountains and forests.
During dinner, Shao Xuan told Yan Zhi and the others about Chacha, and gave them a mental preparation. After leaving the Changzhou tribe, sooner or later they would have to contact Chacha.
Today, for Yan Zhi and the others, surprises continued one after another. At night, they were in high spirits. Shao Xuan was also thinking about the next plan. Only Yang Sui was still sleeping like a pig.
Just as Yang Sui said, before it got dark, the snow suddenly became heavier, and large flakes fell. After the night passed, a layer of snow had been piled up outside, and when you stepped on it, the snow could cross your ankles. This amount of snow and thickness is nothing in the Yanjiao tribe, but here, it is different. Heavy snow here is not common, and sometimes there is no heavy snow for several years.
When I woke up in the morning, the snow was much lighter, but the sky was still thick with clouds.
Yan Zhi and the others now completely believe in Yang Sui's ability. According to Yang Sui's words yesterday, the snow will be lighter in the morning, but after a while, the heavy snow will come again. They had to prepare something before the snow fell. Water, food, etc. should also be prepared.
Shao Xuan intends to go for a walk in the nearby mountains and forests to see if he can hunt prey. The wild boars yesterday have been divided up by several people. I have to say that the people of the Yanjiao tribe have a lot of food, even if they have not fully awakened the totem. Li and Yan Zhi, including Yan Zhuo's wife Yan Zhen, ate a lot.
Originally, Yan Zhi wanted to save a little, but was stopped by Shao Xuan. They had to take care of their bodies in the past few days, and then they could travel as soon as possible.
Yanzhuo and Jiaowu planned to exchange some animal skins. After they heard that some tourists were killed, they became more careful and did not replace all the animal skins, but planned to replace them in several batches. Otherwise, the things that Shao Xuan gave, there are too many animal skins that can be exchanged, and it is too conspicuous to bring back.
Except for Yang Sui, several others had already divided their work and were about to go out when suddenly someone came running.
The visitor, Shao Xuan, had met him. When he met Jiao Wu, Jiao Wu was arguing with someone. This person was the one who chased him out, called He Er.
"What's wrong, He Er?" Yan Zhi asked.
"Jiaowu, Yanzhi, hurry up and find a place to hide first, or go to Mu Qian and ask her to help!" He Er's voice was hurried.
"What happened?" Jiao Wu asked. Although he quarreled with He Erjie yesterday, he just couldn't hold it back for a while. The relationship is still good on weekdays.
"Did you go to change the animal skins yesterday?" He Er asked.
"Yes." This Yan Zhi didn't hide it.
"Did you pass by with jade?! I heard people say that the person who exchanged animal skins with you told the travellers about this. I think those people may be detrimental to you, leave now!"
"Jade?" Before Jiao Wu said anything, Yan Zhuo couldn't help but exclaimed.
Because jade is more precious than water moon stone and shell coins, for the sake of safety, Jiaowu and Yanzhuo didn't plan to take out jade first, but when Yanzhuo was changing animal skins, they encountered a relationship Not bad friend, the man was working on a boat with him. And yesterday, when Yan Zhuo was digging out the shells, the man saw the jade.
Yan Zhuo kept him secret, and he trusted this friend quite a bit. After all, the two of them had helped each other a lot and had known each other for many years. And the other party also promised not to tell others at the time, but now... Is it him
"He Er, thank you." Yan Zhi said.
"Hey, hurry up and find Mu Qian. It's snowing now, and it's hard to survive if you run out. Go to Mu Qian and ask her to help you."
Yan Zhi didn't want to trouble Mu Qian again, so he decided to leave here first and avoid it.
"It's too late." Shao Xuan said.
"What?" Yan Zhi was thinking about where to hide, but he didn't react for a while when he heard Shao Xuan's words.
Shao Xuan looked in one direction.
Over there, a group of people dressed in thick animal skins are coming this way.
