After eating a pot of bear meat, several people who were on the road in a row cut some withered grass, dried it by the fire, dried the cold air and water vapor, spread it on the ground, then covered it with a layer of animal skin, and then took a good rest. .
Yan Zhi and the others did not have the physical strength of Shao Xuan. Up to now, they have been tense all the time. It can be said that they are physically and mentally exhausted and need rest to relieve.
There are fewer bugs in the smoked hole, and you will not be bitten by falling asleep. Many inconspicuous little bugs in the wild caves can cause a lot of trouble to the totem warriors who have not really awakened, and now, they don't need to worry too much.
Before they found this cave, they also encountered several caves, but before Yan Zhi and a few people went in to see, Shao Xuan said that it was not suitable for people to live in, either there were many bugs, or there were bats, and places with bats, It is almost a small world inside, and the parasites in the cave, various insects warmed by bat feces, etc., cannot make people live in it.
Shao Xuan deserves to be a person who runs around with the long-distance team, and is so familiar with living in a cave. Yan Zhi several people thought.
Not only Yan Zhi, but even Yang Sui felt the same way.
But in fact, they didn't know that Shao Xuan's experience of living in a cave was not learned from the expedition team. He started living in a cave on the first day he arrived in this world, even if he built a house after going out of the cave, But he often goes out hunting with the hunting team, and he still lives in a cave.
Who would have thought that the strong Yanjiao tribe in the central part of the year has now lived a more primitive life than here, and can't even make a pottery. Various factors make it impossible to manufacture, so, in addition to force and hunting skills, there are too few things left.
I don't know how Yanzhi and the others will feel after seeing the real Yanjiao tribe.
When they left the Changzhou tribe, Yan Zhi and the others also brought three clay pots to boil water. Two were broken in the middle, and now there is only one left.
After Shao Xuan ate some barbecued meat, he went out to look for other prey. This meat was enough for Yan Zhi and the others, but it was nothing to him. There was no higher-energy food, just the meat of these beasts. , Shao Xuan is really unable to adapt, since the "quality" cannot be changed, it can only be satisfied from the "quantity".
So, before Yan Zhi and the others went to sleep, Shao Xuan was eating meat. After they woke up, they saw Shao Xuan eating meat. A pile of bones has been thrown next to it.
Yan Zhi: "… "
After walking with Shao Xuan for so long, Yang Sui has become accustomed to such a situation. One Shao Xuan and one cha cha , and two bottomless bellies. I really don't know how such a tribe feeds its clansmen. Could it be that they have more farmland and more livestock
Yang Sui also asked about this, but Shao Xuan didn't answer, only saying that their tribe ate meat most of the time, but he didn't eat so much when he was in the tribe.
Even if Yang Sui was killed, he would never have thought that the most common food for the people of the Yanjiao tribe was actually the beasts they could not avoid.
"I have something bad to tell you." Yang Sui went out to drain the water and returned, and said to everyone by the fire.
"What? It's going to snow for a long time?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Yes." Yang Sui squatted beside the fire and said while drying his hands, "This snow will last for about ten days, but after the snow stops, the weather will not be sunny, and it will continue to fall after a day or two of cloudy weather. Snow, as for how long it will last, I don't know, it depends on which direction you go. If you go to our rain tribe, the snow will naturally become less and less. If you go to the side you said, snow will continue.”
Shao Xuan thought for a while and asked, "Will the river freeze if I go to the direction I said?"
"It won't all freeze."
"That's it." Shao Xuan pondered for a while, and said, "Then stay here for a while longer, and let's go when the ice on the river melts. As for the snowing period... Yanzhi, what can you do? Do you want to build a boat? It doesn’t need to be too big, a dozen people can sit on it.”
"There's no problem with this, but I still need some materials." Yan Zhi said.
"Tell me what you want, and I will try my best to find it." Shao Xuan said.
Before going to the Changzhou Tribe, Shao Xuan wondered if he could learn some shipbuilding skills in the Changzhou Tribe. After all, each era has the characteristics of an era, which is completely different from the world he knew in his previous life, so there is a lot of new knowledge Shao Xuan needs to master it. However, when I arrived at the Changzhou tribe, I found that they, like many other tribes, were relatively exclusive, and they had a firm grasp on what they mastered. Even tourists like Yanzhi and the others never arrived in Changzhou many generations ago. The ancestors of the Zhou tribe, until now, there are still many things that they have not been able to understand. It is a skill that only the people of the Changzhou tribe can master, and it is not passed on to the outside world.
However, Shao Xuan felt that when he returned to the tribe, everyone discussed it, and combined with Yanzhi's skills, even if they couldn't build a big ship like the Changzhou tribe, it shouldn't be too bad. Just experiment.
In the next time, Shao Xuan chopped down trees to find materials, and then built a boat with Yan Zhi.
Twenty days later, the snow stopped and the temperature rose.
Winter is not over yet, but the ice on the river has almost melted.
"There will be seven or eight days of sunny weather, and then it will cool down again, but the cooling process will be a little longer. The buffer period of ten to twenty days will change from rain to light snow to heavy snow, and then it may cool down and freeze. Now, pay attention when the time comes." Yang Sui said.
"Well, I see. Thank you." Shao Xuan walked back into the cave and carried out a boat that was more than six meters long.
Yan Zhi and the others were still planning to help, but they didn't want to. Shao Xuan could easily handle it by himself, carrying a boat and walking faster than them.
"Are all totem warriors like this?" Jiao Wu said in a low voice, looking at the figure who was easily carrying the boat in front of him.
"Absolutely not!" Yang Sui said quietly, then looked at Yan Zhi and the others, "This may be the characteristic of your Yanjiao tribe."
"Follow up quickly!" Yan Zhi said with a slap on the head of the smirking Jiao Wu. However, although he wanted to be as serious as possible, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
The Flaming Horn Tribe seems to be really strong.
In their simple ideas, those with greater strength are naturally stronger.
When Yan Zhi and the others came to the river, Shao Xuan had already put the boat in the river.
As Yang Sui said, more than 90% of the ice on the river has melted, and there is no problem with boating on it for now.
After getting on the boat, Yan Zhi and the others consciously picked up the wooden oars and started paddling.
Along the river, go a little further, and after passing a fork, you can reach the section of the river that the expedition team that followed the Pu tribe had experienced.
And when they got there, Yang Sui would also be separated from them.
"I'm going back now, just in time for the sacrificial ceremony after the end of winter." Yang Sui looked at Shao Xuan and the others, "Thank you for allowing me to follow me here."
"You have also helped us a lot. Well, I'll let Cha Cha give you another ride." Shao Xuan gestured towards the air.
"Hey, it's just right, I have to climb a few mountains to go there. It's much easier if you have a chacha." Yang Sui wrapped the animal skin on his body tightly and wrapped his head, leaving only the eyes, nose and mouth.
Cha Cha descended, stretched out his claws to grab Yang Sui, and then lifted it up.
"I hope to hear the news from your Yanjiao tribe!" Yang Sui said loudly when he rose.
When he returns to the Rain Tribe and becomes the real witch of the Rain Tribe, Yang Sui is unlikely to be walking around like he is now. However... If he is unlucky and it doesn't rain in the coming year, if he is too bad in the tribe, then he can find an excuse and go to the Yanjiao tribe to exchange feelings.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt good, Yang Sui had already begun to think about what excuse he should find to go out for a visit when it was "begging" that it was not raining.
Watching Yang Sui leave, Shao Xuan took out the animal skin scroll with the map on it, and added a lot of places on it, some of which were detailed, which were places he personally walked through, and some that were sketchy, which were based on what others said. Drawing, and Yang Sui also told Shao Xuan about the general situation of their Rain Tribe and its surroundings. The location of the Rain Tribe is also marked on this animal skin map.
"Yang Sui's tribe is quite far from here." Yan Zhi glanced at the map and said. The map in Shao Xuan's hand was the most detailed map he had ever seen.
As for Yang Sui, the Yanzhi people treated him differently because he was a witch, but after this period of contact, they felt that Yang Sui was a good person, and told them a lot about what happened in the central and other places. thing. It's a shame to separate now.
"We'll meet again if we have the predestined relationship. At that time, he will be a real witch, and you are also real totem warriors." Shao Xuan said.
Shao Xuan's words made several people look forward to it.
Yan Zhi thought of Mu Qian, he left the Changzhou tribe, because the Changzhou tribe closed its doors in winter, he did not see Mu Qian again, but when he left, he asked He Er to help convey a few words, and there was a written animal skin. I hope that when we meet again, it will be another better situation.
"Let's go and find Yan Shuo." Shao Xuan looked at the sky, and during this time he also tried to check the sky in another way. When using special energy, in the field of vision, he found that there seemed to be some air currents surging in the sky, which was not seen before.
From leaving the tribe to the present, his own power has also changed.
Although it is not as accurate as Yang Sui's vision, Shao Xuan can also judge some of the changes based on those changes.
Taking advantage of the fine weather, Shao Xuan and the others were paddling on the road. After a few days of fine weather, it started raining again, lasting a few days of gloomy weather before turning to light snow.
In winter, on both sides of the river, you rarely see people. You can occasionally see one or two people along the way by boating across the river. They were all people from some small tribes living around the banks of the river.
Starting here, it can no longer be counted as the middle.
When the river began to freeze again and the snow was flying, Shao Xuan brought Yan Zhi and a few people to the shore and set foot on this place where tourists and slaves lived.
Probably in winter, there are no boats passing by, and no one is seen on the shore. The slaves are called back to do other work, and only some tourists come out to look for food.
Several tourists are trembling and planning to go back from the shore. They haven't harvested these few days, and there are very few far-travelers passing by in winter, so the rewards they can get are naturally much less.
While walking, one of them suddenly noticed a boat docked.
"Hey, over there!!" The man hurriedly said to his boss.
Several people turned their heads to look over, and their hearts were overjoyed.
"Go and have a look!" The eldest of the few said.
The so-called "see the past" means to act by chance. If they can't provoke people, they will naturally treat them with a better attitude and honestly work hard to get rewards, but if they are small people who are not threatening, they will take risks and directly. The killer stole something.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, blurring the vision.
A few people shivered and ran over with their hands together, and in their sleeves, there were thin stone knives and other tools and weapons. It's natural to get things ready first.
At first glance, there were only five people over there, and four of them looked like they were dying of exhaustion, with heavy footsteps. There was even a woman with a few animal skin bags! There might be a lot of good stuff! Several people here are happier.
"Brother, take a moment and directly..." The speaker made a slashing gesture and said, "The woman stays."
"Look at it first."
Getting closer and closer to the five people who had just landed, the boss also preferred the latter idea of slaughtering people and grabbing things directly. However, just as he was brewing a harmless smile, when he was going to say something, just now. Among the five people who went ashore, the one in the front turned to look over.
Boss: "… "
The harmless smile on his face froze, his whole body trembled even more, and he turned his head and ran away.
"Hey, big brother, what are you running for..." One of them was still confused, but after seeing Shao Xuan, he ran faster and reacted faster than his boss.
Seeing the few people who came over and ran away as if hiding from a beast, Jiao Wu wondered, "What are they running for?"
Yan Zhi guessed something, but didn't say anything. As a person who has lived in the tourist area since childhood, it is natural to see at a glance that those people are also tourists, but they belong to the type with bad intentions.
"Let's go." Shao Xuan took Yan Zhi and the others towards Yan Shuo's house.
Because of Shao Xuan's shock at that time, in the past six months, no one had a head-on conflict with Yan Shuo, and the slave owner didn't do much, as if nothing had happened.
This also made Yan Shuo's life a lot better. Coupled with the sudden appearance of the totem pattern before winter, Yan Shuo found that his strength had also increased again, and sometimes he could hunt some satisfactory prey when he entered the mountains.
At this moment, Yan Shuo was in the house, the family was eating barbecue around the fire, and the fish soup was boiled in the jar, which was caught on a few days when the weather was fine.
Looking at the ruddy wife and children, Yan Shuo thought to himself, it would be even better when he could really return to the Yanjiao tribe.
Just as he was thinking, Yan Shuo heard someone knock on the door.
And the rhythm and force of knocking on the door means that they are not people in the tourist area.
Yan Shuo motioned for his wife to take the child to hide in the back room first. Although no one had been in trouble since Shao Xuan left, he was still very cautious for the sake of safety.
"Who?" Yan Shuo shouted, carrying the knife to the door.
"I, Shao Xuan."
As soon as he heard the voice outside the door, Yan Shuo couldn't care about anything else. He threw his precious knife back at will, and quickly moved the thick wooden board away.
Seeing Shao Xuan, Yan Shuo was very excited.
"Come in, it's cold outside!" Yan Shuo asked his wife to take out the frozen fish and meat, and then prepared to say something to Shao Xuan, when he saw four people who entered the door behind Shao Xuan.
"Who are they?" Yan Shuo looked at the four people. He felt that although these four people met for the first time, there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy. He had guessed the possible answer.
"They are all the same people as you." Shao Xuan briefly introduced the four Yan Zhi. As for the Yan Shuo family, he had already said it on the way.
Although Yan Shuo's house had been expanded, there were five more people at once. It was still a bit crowded, but it was also much warmer.
After drinking some hot soup, a few people gathered around the fire and became acquainted with each other while chatting.
Yan Zhi and the others used to be wary of others, including the descendants of the Yanjiao tribe, but they believed in Shao Xuan, so they also believed in Yan Shuo. This is the clan who want to go back to the tribe with them.
"We will leave after the winter season is over." Shao Xuan stated his plan.
With them, Shao Xuan plans to go to the Emblem Tribe. In the Emblem Tribe, the lives of several other people can be protected. If they go to other places, they will encounter a lot of trouble.
"Though the people of the Empress Tribe look fierce, they are not bad, and we will need their help when the time comes."
"Shao Xuan, you can arrange it, we will listen to you." Yan Shuo said.
"Yes, it's up to you to decide." Yan Zhi also said.
"A lot of crocodiles?" Jiao Wu asked tentatively.
"right."
"… crocodiles are dangerous."
In the Changzhou Tribe, Yan Zhi and a few people once saw the crocodile brought back by the fleet, which he hunted during the voyage. The stick breaks easily.
"But in the Aboriginal tribe, as long as you stay safe and do as I say, those crocodiles are actually very good helpers."
Shao Xuan told them about the situation of the Emblem Tribe and what he experienced in the Emblem Tribe.
"However, before going to the Eng tribe, I plan to go to the Pu tribe to find someone. The Pu tribe is not far from the Eng tribe. If we go to the Eng tribe, we will pass through the Pu tribe," Shao Xuan said.
When they separated from the expedition team, Shao Xuan told Zha that if they could catch up, they would meet at one place. However, when the Pu tribe people arrived, they stayed for two days, and they still did not see Shao Xuan. In order to rush back, the Pu tribe people could not wait for Shao Xuan all the time. It's time to leave.
But Zha is not worried. He knows that Shao Xuan's real strength is stronger than it looks. Besides, there is also an eagle. Shao Xuan also told him when he left that if he can't get there, he will let the far-reaching team of the Pu tribe. Go first, and then he will visit the Pu tribe later.
After being separated from the expedition team of the Pu tribe for so long, Shao Xuan planned to visit Xia Yao and the few people who helped him in the expedition team before returning. By the way, get some frog poison and the like from the Pu tribe, maybe it will be useful when you go back.
The winter here is as long as the other side of the river, but the weather here is not so bad.
When the moon came out, the weather was actually quite warm.
