After leaving the Maca tribe, Shao Xuan also saw people from other tribes who went out, but he didn't go out with them. Those people were very wary of Shao Xuan, probably because they were carrying some goods and worried that Shao Xuan would snatch it.
Shao Xuan also had the experience of traveling long distances. He knew that the team would reject him when he met a stranger on the way, so he didn't join up, but just asked at a distance of about 20 meters.
Seeing that Shao Xuan had no intention of getting close, the other party hurriedly left after answering Shao Xuan's two questions reluctantly.
Shao Xuan just asked about the surrounding area, but the other party's answer was too brief, and Shao Xuan could only combine the information he had heard from the Maca tribe to infer where he was going.
Here, there are tribes and slave owners, but the tribes and the slave owners do not have too many conflicts, and there will not always be conflicts like the other side of the sea. Many tribal people even often go to the cities under the jurisdiction of the slave owners to trade. For them, this is a very common thing. For example, the Maka tribe often has a long-distance team going to the nearest city, exchanging things for cloth, copper weapons and so on.
However, Shao Xuan did not intend to go to the slave owners' territory. What he most wanted to know now was whether the other half of the Yanjiao tribe were here
If the Flaming Horn people's preferences have not changed, they will probably be more inclined to the mountains and forests, especially the places with many beasts. When there are more people, there will naturally be fewer beasts and beasts, so Shao Xuan intends to try his luck in a forest with few people.
After inquiring about the surrounding geography, Shao Xuan tied a rope and made a divination again, determined a direction, and went there. He only gave the approximate direction, but did not predict the distance, so he could only go straight there.
At the beginning, I could see some people who traveled far away every two days, but gradually, the number of people I saw became much less, and the land became desolate. Plants are not lush, not even stout trees.
Shao Xuan raised his eyes and saw that there were cascading and slightly desolate mountains around him. He did not change his route. He planned to pass from the valley to the valley. No other dangerous sounds were heard. The sounds of the birds and beasts were relatively calm and did not mean panic. It should be relatively safe here.
Occasionally, there were streams flowing through the valleys. Shao Xuan kept walking along the set route and direction. When he reached a stream, he saw someone lying beside the water with his head resting on the side of the stream. He also rushed towards the other's face, his gray hair scattered in the water and swaying with the stream.
If the other party had already died, Shao Xuan would not care too much, but that person still had the breath of life, but it was only a little weak.
After exploring in the past, Shao Xuan found that this was an old man with a lot of wrinkles on his face, which was older than it looked from the back. There is no serious trauma, except for the fracture of the arm bone of the right arm, other parts of the body are fine.
This man was dressed in gray cloth, he didn't know how much he had gone through, and his clothes were tattered, only a little bit better than when Shao Xuan first came. The weapons he brought were several small copper knives. The shapes of the knives were different, but they were all small, and they didn't look like they were used as hidden weapons. I didn't know what they were used for. There was also a bag wrapped around his waist. The bag was made of animal skins. Looking at the leather, there were also beast-level skins. The skins of ordinary beasts would not be so strong.
After taking a closer look, Shao Xuan carefully turned the person over and moved away from the stream.
He couldn't wake up even when he screamed, and there was no movement when he tapped. Seeing that he was still awake, Shao Xuan's eyes fell on the animal skin bag on the other side's waist, and he reached out and poked it there. When the other party was lying on the side of the stream, his uninjured left arm was always protecting there. Even when he turned over, his arm did not leave. This was a conscious behavior, indicating that the animal skin bag was very important to this person. That said, it is very important.
When Shao Xuan reached out and poked at the animal skin bag, the other party didn't wake up, but the muscles on his face moved.
When he poked again, the other party suddenly opened his eyes, bloodshot eyes filled with defense and murderous intent, he pushed his elbows to the ground, and quickly rolled two times away from Shao Xuan, and then slammed his head into the big stone next to him. , that sound, Shao Xuan felt pain for him. Why be so excited.
Fortunately, the person hadn't fainted yet, and after a few "hum" sounds of pain, the person wanted to reach out and touch the bruised forehead, but his right arm was injured, and his left arm was protected by the animal skin bag, and he moved his left arm, thinking about it. Then, put it back in place, continue to protect the animal skin bag, let the blood flow down his forehead, but stare at Shao Xuan, for fear that Shao Xuan will come and grab something.
"Don't worry, I won't grab it." Shao Xuan said when he saw him like this.
At such an old age, I don't know why I fainted by the stream, and just woke up and hit a stone with my head.
The other party's spirit relaxed a little, but his defenses were still not removed.
"If you want to rob me, you have already robbed me, but you still have to wait until now? Besides, even if I want to rob me now, can you stop me?" Shao Xuan said.
Oh too. The gray-haired old man's defenses in his eyes were withdrawn, and the murderous aura he had just woken up had also subsided, and his mind was still a little dizzy.
Questions, but the tone is very positive.
Shao Xuan reached out and took out a piece of jerky from the bag and threw it over, asking, "Why did you faint here?"
The old man hurriedly caught the jerky that Shao Xuan threw over, smelled it, and looked a little disgusted, but his movements were not slow, he quickly took a few bites to eat, and answered Shao Xuan's words inarticulately: "I'm hungry."
I thought it was poisoning or some other reason, but I didn't expect the answer to be starving.
After quickly finishing the piece of jerky that Shao Xuan gave, the old man looked at Shao Xuan again: "Is there any more?"
Shao Xuan took out a piece again, but instead of handing it over immediately, he said: "You answer a few questions to me first, and I will give you the meat in my hand."
The old man frowned, didn't speak, and didn't seem very happy.
Shao Xuan didn't care, he raised his finger and asked, "Go over there, how long will it take to see the dense forest?"
After hearing Shao Xuan's question, the old man's wrinkled brows loosened, thinking it was a problem, but it turned out to be this.
"I don't know. I haven't been there. It's my first time here. However, as far as I know, it's impossible for you to see dense forests for at least two days. It's the same as here." The old man replied , "This is a famous wasteland. There is not even a tribe. Even if you go inside for two more days, you will not see anyone else."
Handing the meat to the old man, Shao Xuan went to the stream to wash his face and continued on his way. This old man has the energy to eat the meat, and he can leave without Shao Xuan meddling with his business.
However, before Shao Xuan took a few steps, the old man's voice came from behind him.
"Hey, wait a minute! That little brother!"
Just now he was on guard like a thief, but now he's called "little brother" affectionately. Usually when you call it so intimate, there must be other intentions.
Shao Xuan turned around and asked the other party what was going on with his eyes.
The old man got up from the ground, looked around, his eyes stayed in one place, and pointed there happily: "There, just the grass with white stripes, you can pick it up for me."
Listen to this tone, a commanding posture. Look at the place where the old man pointed. On the mountain wall that is almost 90 degrees perpendicular to the ground, at least 30 meters above the ground, there are several half-arm-length grasses with white stripes growing there.
Shao Xuan wanted to turn his head and leave, but when he saw the other party, he didn't seem to realize that his tone was wrong. Shao Xuan thought about it and shook his head. What is grass for
In such an unfamiliar place, it's always good to know a little more.
