If the person guarding the farmland catches bugs at night, they will pick out some and put them away. When Shao Xuan is free, he will go over and take a look. If there are new and unfamiliar bugs, Shao Xuan will pick them out and put them together with the previous ones.
Living in the forest for a long time, you can also infer the threat that these insects may bring to people based on the shape of those insects. Know more, and you can take precautions in advance when you travel far.
Anti-mosquito herbs and facial mud are prepared. The weather gets hotter as it goes on. When they leave after the rainy season, they all wear sleeveless clothes, and some are even shirtless, and at that time they have to apply Add some clay made from herbs. It can camouflage and repel mosquitoes at the same time.
The rainy season is before the full moon, and now look at the moon in the sky, the rainy season is very close.
Before the rainy season, the people of the Changzhou tribe came again. However, this time their purpose was not entirely the Yanhe trading area, they were here to deliver the boat to Yanjiao.
Before they left the Yanhe trading area, the two sides had negotiated. At that time, the Changzhou tribe promised to send two ships over.
Because of last year's cataclysm, the fleet of the Changzhou tribe was destroyed a lot, and their own tribe's ships were not enough. The number of new ships built this year is also limited, and only two can be used for Yanjiao, otherwise they have to continue to wait. , and shipbuilding also takes time.
Moreover, the people of the Changzhou tribe pay a lot of attention to shipbuilding, and the requirements are very strict, and each ship takes a lot of effort.
The two ships sent to Yanjiao looked similar to the ships in their previous fleet, except that they had more sails, but in fact it was more than that.
This year, the Changzhou tribe made many technical improvements when building ships.
There are several more slots in the boat. Shao Xuan went down to see it. It is similar to the design of watertight compartments. If there is an accident, if only one or two damaged compartments are flooded, the other compartments are still good. The buoyancy provided by them makes the boat unable to As for just sinking like this, this way, the ship has a stronger sinking resistance. This is also the reason why Shao Xuan admires the Changzhou tribe, they can always be unexpected in their shipbuilding skills.
Perhaps it was the cataclysm of last year that gave the Changzhou Tribe the inspiration for the watertight compartment, or perhaps the Changzhou Tribe had already had this idea, and no one could say for sure.
Even without these, a boat of the same size made of the same material would be stronger than others. Even Shao Xuan couldn't figure out how many secrets were hidden in it. The boat-building skills of the Changzhou tribe are worthy of their tribe name, and they are indeed much better than other tribes.
The two ships brought by the Changzhou tribe this time are indeed very sincere. They are much better than the ships that were given to Yanjiao because of the blue-faced fangs when they were in the beast forest. At that time, the Changzhou tribe sent The ships in the past looked okay, but in actual use, they couldn't compare with these two ships at all. Even if the two ships collided, the previous ships would definitely be damaged first.
Seeing that Yanjiao was still satisfied with the two ships, the people who sent the boats breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, they can be arrogant in front of other tribes, but when they meet Yanjiao, they always feel weak. Especially when I saw Shao Xuan, I was always worried that he would spit fire again with a flick of his sleeve.
After the inspection and acceptance, the people of the Changzhou tribe went to the Yanhe trading area to scan the goods. Many things here are still very attractive to them. In addition to animal skins and meat, there are also fish skin glue, wood, etc., which are very attractive to them. The wood they asked Yanjiao to help to find before is placed in the warehouse over there, and when they leave, they will bring some back. Those solid ancient trees in the fierce beast forest made them envious for a long time.
Two days after the Changzhou tribe sent the boat over, the rainy season began. The continuous rain made the Yanhe trading area suddenly deserted, and the people who had been busy also had some free time.
Zheng Luo handed over the information collected in the trading area during this period to Shao Xuan. About the tribes in the Yanhe area, they knew three more, but they were a little far away from here, and they only knew the general place, but didn't know that. The exact location of several tribes.
"One of the tribes should be similar to what you said before, the Luo tribe that disappeared in the natural disaster. They brought a lot of fishing nets, and they should be a tribe that fished for a living, but they were more fortunate than the Luo tribe. Survived the cataclysm well. There is also a tribe... "
Zheng Luo told Shao Xuan what he knew, and Shao Xuan recorded it on the animal skin scroll.
After collecting the information, Shao Xuan returned to the headquarters and went up the mountain to find Guihe to discuss the final candidate for the long trip. Two hundred people have been basically determined, and the final check has been done.
When he got to the mountain, Shao Xuan happened to see the two former witches who had retired as elders were arguing about something.
Since Gui Ze took over as the new witch, these two old people no longer lived in the house belonging to the tribe witch, but built two more houses next to each other, and it was easy to discuss anything, but every time the two said As he spoke, he quarreled.
When Shao Xuan passed by, the two old men were arguing so much that they almost got into a fight with a cane.
"What's wrong?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Ah Xuan, you came just in time, come and see my new drawing." The old man pulled Shao Xuan into the room and said.
Shao Xuan followed the position pointed by the old man, and there was a piece of slate that was not thick. On the slate, there was a mess of paint.
What does this make him see
Seeing Shao Xuan's puzzled eyes, the old man also found the problem on the slate, "Oh, it's not that, it was painted before, it's this one here."
Wu pointed to a large leaf on the table next to it. The leaf was also painted with crimson paint. This was much clearer.
Shao Xuan was surprised by the painting on the leaves. He thought that the old man habitually painted some things, such as people or things he saw recently, what important things happened, etc., which were generally narrative in nature. painting. And the painting on this leaf is a picture of a feast held in the Yanhe Trading District not long ago.
Although Wu's painting is still very simple, it does not prevent Shao Xuan from recognizing it from the outline and figure. Because of that picture, Shao Xuan heard about it many times later, and some people painted it for him to see, although it was not very vivid.
"This is... the flame giant of the ancestors?" Shao Xuan wondered, not understanding what the old man meant. These two arguing so fiercely, is it for the ancestor's flame giant
"Exactly!" The old man was very excited, carefully picked up the leaf, and pointed to the painting on it, "What do you think?"
"This painting is simple and clear, and it depicts the charm of our ancestors." Shao Xuan said.
"I'm not asking you how well you paint, I'm asking you, what do you think after seeing your ancestor like this?" the old man asked again.
idea
In the face of the ancestors, he is still a flame giant that is not clear. What thoughts can you have
Shao Xuan still couldn't grasp the point.
"Do you feel that the ancestor's appearance is particularly good-looking?" The old man asked expectantly.
Especially nice? Where does it look good? Shao Xuan continued to wonder. It is rare to hear the word "beautiful" from the local Yanjiao population.
In the end, the old lady who was standing next to her made it clear, "He wants to make a new sacrificial dress according to the appearance of the ancestor's flame giant."
"New sacrificial dress?" Shao Xuan was stunned and looked at the painting on the leaf again. In this way, there is indeed a kind of elegance and arrogance to ride the wind.
It's just that in the past, didn't Yanjiao people dislike this kind of shape? They don't all think that wearing this kind of clothes has no use for hunting, and it is simply ugly.
Even Shao Xuan's thinking has been affected because of his years of edification, and sometimes his aesthetics are abnormal.
However, now Shao Xuan listened to the old man's meaning, and thought that the ancestor's appearance was really beautiful, and he felt that this was a reminder of the ancestors, that is, telling them that the clothes worn by the sacrifice could be changed.
But this is not a big problem. Anyway, in the hearts of the Yanjiao people, the ancestors are all good. Even if they didn't like it in the past, if the ancestors made it, they would try to accept it.
The old man wanted to change the attire of the Yanjiao tribe for sacrifices, but the old lady objected, not her objection to the ancestor's style. Similarly, she also felt that the ancestor's style was very good, but she just didn't think everyone had to wear that kind of clothes. , The ancestors were the first generation of witches, so clothes like that could only be worn by witches.
Shao Xuan imagined that elegant shape that could not wait to go to the sky, and then think about the tribal people wearing animal skins and animal horns and hanging a few animal tooth necklaces around their necks, carrying a large cyan bronze knife with a wide cyan for one person, and walking on white-bladed animal claw shoes. , with a colorful snake belt tied around his waist.
This stark contrast...
"You two continue to discuss."
Many changes were not brought by Shao Xuan deliberately, but the world and the people here changed spontaneously because of certain things.
