It has been more than half a year since the last time I saw this little crocodile. Now, this little crocodile is more than two meters long, which is faster than ordinary crocodiles. According to the people of the Zan tribe, these crocodiles will grow faster and faster in the future, especially during the rainy season. Whenever they leave and come back, they will experience a crazy growth process.
"Little guy, long time no see." Shao Xuan looked at the little crocodile that climbed over and said. He also reached out and touched the slightly hard skin on the crocodile's head.
Seeing that Shao Xuan was so familiar with the little crocodile, the warriors who led them into the tribe had a bigger smile on their faces, and their attitudes were also much more enthusiastic. However, with their big mouths, Jiao Wu felt a chill.
The eyes of these people are really like crocodiles. A few people in Jiaowu thought secretly.
If they saw the fighting state of the tribal people, this feeling would be stronger.
After a winter, although the temperature has warmed up, it has not reached the level they like. However, in the tribe, crocodiles can be seen everywhere.
Several soldiers of the patrol team guarded Yanzhi around them and led them into the tribe. If no one led them, the crocodiles would attack the strangers who entered the tribe and eat them as food.
Some crocodiles floated up from the pool, looked coldly at the people passing by, and sank into the pool again.
Jiaowu's body has been tense all the time, but the two children's mentality is much better, staring curiously at the large and small crocodiles around them.
Since he came to the Emblem Tribe, he naturally had to visit the leader and the witch of the Emblem Tribe first, and Shao Xuan still had something to discuss with them.
When Shao Xuan came over last time, the two showed a friendly attitude, hoping that the two tribes could cooperate in a friendly way. This time, Shao Xuan came to discuss cooperation.
The witch and the leader of the Zan tribe have been reported by the patrol team and are waiting outside the house.
Being able to stand outside the house to greet him instead of sitting in the house also showed the attitude of the witch and the leader, saying that they valued Shao Xuan.
"Long time no see, Shao Xuan." The witch of the Eng tribe looked at Shao Xuan and said.
"It's not too long, just half a year." Shao Xuan walked over, took out a piece of jade, and gave it to them as a gift.
The leader Fanmu took the jade and felt a warm warmth when he started, which relieved the irritable emotions in his heart a lot.
It's not that they haven't seen jade, it's just because the tribe is in a remote area, far from the middle, and they don't like to travel far away like the people of the Pu tribe. In addition, the people of the Pu tribe rarely bring jade back. Therefore, within the tribe There are not many people who have seen jade, and only a few people with higher status have seen it.
The Wu tribe's witch looked at Shao Xuan's face more slowly, not only because it was a gift from Shao Xuan, but because he knew that before leaving, Shao Xuan had nothing on his body except some water moon stones, and Those who can follow the Pu tribe on a long journey, wander around the middle, and bring their clansmen back here safely, must not be underestimated.
As a witch, what he sees is not just immediate interests, but something that is more long-term and more conducive to the development of the tribe.
Although I don't quite understand why the people that Shao Xuan brought here seem to be ordinary people who haven't awakened, the witch knew that the secrets of the Yanjiao tribe were involved, so he didn't ask them in detail, he just asked Yanzhi to bring them to the side first. After going to the house to rest, he and Fanmu led Shao Xuan into the house for a detailed discussion.
"Relocate the tribe?"
After listening to Shao Xuan, the witch and the leader of the Eng tribe were very surprised. Generally speaking, unless there is a huge change, tribes will not move at will. The bigger the tribe, the more difficult it is to move.
"Yes. To be honest, our witch and the leader wanted to relocate a long time ago, and moved the tribe to the central part, because the tribe used to be in the central part, and then left due to some things. After I go back this time, I will tell the witch. When it comes to the situation in the central part, the old man will probably make the decision to move the tribe together with the leader." Shao Xuan explained after concealing something.
"If you move to the tribe, you may land on the side of the tribe. I hope that the tribe can help. I promise not to threaten the tribe, and I will not invade and occupy the territory of the tribe." Shao Xuan said.
Whether to invade or not to occupy, this is not what Shao Xuan said they believe. After all, Shao Xuan is not a witch, and secondly, he is not the leader of the Yanjiao tribe. As the leader of the tribe, Fanmu and Wu must think about it.
Shao Xuan is not in a hurry, he will stay in the tribe for half a year until the end of the rainy season.
After talking for a long time in Wu's house, Shao Xuancai came out and went to Fuyu their house with Yan Zhi and the others.
I haven't seen Shao Xuan for half a year, and the Fuyu family is still very enthusiastic, and they also brought out meat to entertain them.
As a result, Yan Zhi and several people saw the "heroicness" and bloodshed of the people of the Eng tribe at the dinner table.
Hearing that Shao Xuan wanted to live in the tribe for half a year, and there was no place to live here for the time being, Fu Fu tugged his sleeves and said, "I'll help you build a house! It's just the one next to it, just build it, and Shen Jia will become a home in the future. If you have kids, you can live."
The houses of the Zang tribe are partly on the water. Shao Xuan is not familiar with this kind of construction skills, and he really needs Fu Fu's help. Fortunately, there were many people, and Shao Xuan had great strength. He transported wood to build a house. A day later, a dry-column-style house about the size of Fuyu's house was completed.
There are three rooms in the house, one is for Yan Shuo and his family, one is for Yan Zhuo and his wife, and the remaining one is for Shao Xuan and Brother Yan Zhi. It will not be too complicated to live here temporarily. , Besides, they basically work outside during the day, so they just stay at night, so that the children have a place to stay.
"Let's make do with it first." Shao Xuan looked at the room and said.
"That... that..." Jiao Wu pointed to the crocodile swimming in the pool under the house, stuttering a little. Wouldn't it be a nightmare to live here
"It's okay, as long as you don't mess with them, they won't attack you." Shao Xuan said.
"Bang!"
Cha Cha threw down a deer caught from the forest and left again.
Under the guidance of Fu Fu, Yanzhuo and the others went to the river to deal with the deer before dragging them back to the house.
Before roasting, Shao Xuan asked Yan Zhuo to cut a piece of meat from the deer, walked to the window, and threw it to the little crocodile in the pool.
Although it seems that they usually crawl and swim slowly, they move very quickly when they are hunting, and the meat that Shao Xuan threw out is also accurately bitten by it.
They would live in this house until the rainy season. Of course, they lived in the Zang tribe, and Shao Xuan also paid the "accommodation fee", and sometimes sent some hunted prey to them. It belongs to the Fuyu family, and the Fuyu family usually helps a lot.
Shao Xuan intends to leave before the rainy season, but if they leave, they will have to build another boat, which needs to be stronger and more durable than the previous boat.
In terms of wood, Shao Xuan would look for it in the mountains and forests near the Zan tribe every day. Seeing that Yanzhi wanted to build a boat, the people from the Zan tribe also came to help. Of course, many of them were sent by the shaman to follow and learn, and they also wanted to learn some boat-building techniques. Although they usually used crocodiles as boats, sometimes Something like this is needed too, the "boat" looks much better than the Pu tribe's raft.
The most important thing is that when they heard that boats are commonly used in the central region, they became excited. Sometimes when Shao Xuan went out, many warriors of the Mo tribe followed, and when Shao Xuan came back, they all came back with all kinds of wood. .
The shipbuilding this time is related to the success of returning to the tribe, the requirements for the ship and the design of the hull. Shao Xuan has already discussed with Yanzhi and the others. There is no tree big enough and strong enough to make a canoe. wood for boats.
Yan Zhi and the others also put all their energy into building the boat. It can be said that all their hopes are on this boat, and they cannot be sloppy.
The gums, swim bladder glue, wooden nails, stone nails, fish skins, bamboo, rattan grass and other things that were needed were all found and tried, and the types were finalized and used on the boat.
Without metal, the difficulty is naturally greater, and more things need to be used to make up for it.
Fan naturally also wanted it. Shao Xuan went to the Luo tribe several times on the way. The swim bladder glue and fish skin used by their tribe were all what Shao Xuan needed, as well as the materials that were woven into the net. Shao Xuan asked them to weave a denser net, on which was glued a thin and sturdy fish skin that Luo tribesmen used to make summer clothes. After paying the fee, Shao Xuan took back such a "sail".
He also brought back some sackcloth from the middle, and the fish-skin sail was holding a spare.
During the time he lived in the Xun tribe, Jiao Wu was no longer afraid of those crocodiles. Although he would avoid the crocodiles at ordinary times, he was no longer as fearful as he was at the beginning. Moreover, Shao Xuan also told them that the crocodiles of the Hui tribe would be avoided. On the way, they will encounter more terrifying things than these crocodiles. If even these crocodiles dare not look directly, what is the point of sailing
When the ship was built, the rainy season was approaching. As a means of going back, the ship was protected by a wooden shed specially built by Yan Zhi.
As for the witch and the leader of the Yan tribe, after thinking and discussing for so long, they also made a decision. They are willing to help when the Yanjiao tribe arrives and allow the people of the Yanjiao tribe to enter their tribe, while Shao Xuan I swear by the totem that I will not snatch the water moon stone and other things of the Enlightenment Tribe, and will not maliciously harm the people of the Enlightenment tribe when the tribe arrives.
The two sides discussed in Wu's hut for a whole day. Although most of the people of the Eng tribe did not have so many twists and turns in their minds, they did not think too much, but as the leaders of the tribe, the witch and the leader had to Much smarter and more thoughtful.
After the cooperation between the two parties was finalized, the witch of the Eng tribe specially wrote a letter to the witch of the Yanjiao tribe on the animal skin scroll. It was a communication between witches and witches, and it was the first high-level communication between two tribes that had never formally met.
Wu wrote something, and the leader Fanmu also wrote it. Shao Xuan will bring it back together. I believe Wu and the leader will be very happy to see this.
"The rainy season is coming soon, are you ready?" The witch of the Zan tribe stood by the window, looking at the sky outside, and asked.
Behind the witch, Shao Xuan carefully put away the animal skin roll and replied, "It's almost done. When the rainy season comes, I will prepare some food to bring with you."
Shao Xuan said that he is not sure when the Yanjiao tribe will move to the tribe, but it will definitely be as soon as possible.
Compared with the other high-level officials of the Enchanted Tribe, Wu believed in Shao Xuan and the Yanjiao tribe. The first time he felt the magic power of the Yanjiao tribe witch from the stone tablet with the Yanjiao tribe totem, he believed it. , that belongs to Wu's intuition and feeling.
"I look forward to seeing you soon."
"I look forward to it too." Shao Xuan said.
Coming out of the house of the tribal witch, Shao Xuan looked at the sky. It will rain soon, and when this rain falls, the rainy season will come.
The biggest change in the rainy season of the tribe is those crocodiles.
In this unseen big river, many river beasts will be active in this rainy season, and so are the crocodiles of the Mok tribe.
When the rain crackles, it also indicates that this year's rainy season has begun.
Crocodiles, big and small, went over to the river one after another, and the crocodiles who usually stayed in the pool in front of Fu's house also left.
When these crocodiles come out of canyons, tributaries, quagmire, pools, move their big claws, and drag their huge bodies to crawl slowly on the ground, the scene is very spectacular.
The little guys who couldn't leave with the team last year have grown up for a year and can leave with the team this year.
Because of the rain, Shao Xuan and the others didn't go out today.
Looking at the large and small crocodiles passing by the house outside, Jiao Wu said, "I don't think there are so many in normal times."
"Because there are usually many that don't come out, and you didn't see it either." Yan Zhi said.
Yan Nian and his younger brother lay in front of the window, looked away from the crocodile group outside, and asked Shao Xuan, "Brother Xuan, do we also have such crocodiles in the Yanjiao tribe?"
"No."
"What's that?" Yan Nian was very curious.
"Apart from people, there are only a few strange guys."
"Like Chacha?"
"It looks different." Shao Xuan took a charcoal pen and drew some pictures on the wooden board, "This is Caesar, it is a wolf, this is a lion, it is a cave lion, and there are four teeth, it is a Deer dolphin, it looks a bit like a wild boar, but it doesn't have any hair, you'll know when it's time, and..."
These Shao Xuan also told Yan Zhi and the others that the situation of the tribe was also informed, so that they could be mentally prepared. However, to Yanzhi and the others, it doesn't matter whether the tribe can make pottery, whether they have jade, silk clothes, big boats, etc. They just want to return to the tribe, which is their greatest wish.
The rainy season passed day by day, and the crocodile group of the Mo tribe gradually left. When the rainy season ended, the only crocodiles that the Mo tribe could see were the young and fragile little guys who were not born during the breeding season. They could not leave. The tribesmen will take care of them.
"We should go too!"
Shao Xuan asked everyone to pack up, move the boat out, and carry it to the river.
Some high-level officials of the Enlightenment tribe, including the witch and the leader of the Enlightenment tribe, also came to see them off by the river.
Say goodbye to the people of the Aboriginal tribe and board the boat.
Shao Xuan came here from the tribe, just to step on the spot. There are still many places Shao Xuan has not been to. When all the Yanjiao tribes have migrated and stabilized, he will go to various places again. Thousand-faced tribe, Hui tribe... and Yangsui and their rain tribe, all went for a walk.
"Goodbye!" Shao Xuan waved to everyone on the shore.
Open the sail and sail back.
