The completion date of the river is getting closer and closer, and Shao Xuan is almost staring there to see what else needs to be changed. What needs to be added should be added quickly, otherwise once the river is open, he will Change is much more difficult.
As for the movement of the pterosaur, as long as it didn't go up the mountain and attack the people in Yanjiao, Shao Xuan would not care about it for the time being, after all, his time was tight.
When everyone was not paying attention, those dead-leafed birds broke away from their original temperament day by day and began to become weird.
But those Shao Xuan didn't know, all he knew was the movements of the pterosaurs, those of the dead leaf bird, Shao Xuan thought that people with flaming horns would stare at them and nothing would happen.
Just two days before the completion of the river, Shao Xuan was drawing some defense tools that needed to be built, and someone came to him.
Shao Xuan thought that something happened to the Winglong, but he didn't expect that the person who came to look for him said, "A stranger came over, and the leader said that if you are interested, you can come and have a look."
"Stranger?" The meaning of this stranger is either from a strange tribe or from the sea. However, since Guihe has sent people over to find him, it is definitely not an ordinary thing.
Shao Xuan temporarily put aside the matter here and walked to the headquarters. When crossing the stone bridge, he found that there were still some logs tied next to the stone bridge, and the wood used for logging was made. Shao Xuan had never seen it here. There was something similar to a sail on the raft, but it was not cloth, but some leaves. Made staggered.
There are some ornaments on the log. When he saw one of the ornaments, Shao Xuan's eyes narrowed. After taking a closer look, he probably knew why Guihe was looking for him.
The ornament on the log is a small snail. The growth pattern and color of the snail are not like those in the river, but more like something in the sea!
Someone from the sea
Looking at the location where the logging was staying, Shao Xuan asked the people next to him, "Are they coming from downstream?"
"Yes. I heard from the people over at the stone bridge." The soldier looked around and said in a low voice, "It seems that those people brought a lot of things, as well as shells."
shellfish
Because of the medicinal properties of some seashells and their rarity, in many places, that kind of shells are also used as one of the currencies of trade.
If those people came from the desert area, Shao Xuan would not be so surprised. Most of the shell coins popular in the inland came from there. The reason why the rain tribe could have so many shell coins was that as a middleman.
However, after the situation in the desert changed later, coupled with the impact of the cataclysm of heaven and earth, there are fewer and fewer shell coins popular in the inland. There was a guess from the far-reaching team that came to the trading area. The tribes by the sea there , either has been destroyed, or has been moved, anyway, they listened to so and so that they led the team to go there, they did not see anyone by the sea, and no new shells flowed out from there.
However, after all, the sea is not only in one direction. Shao Xuan has long said that if the Yanhe goes straight down, he will definitely see the sea, but the last time he took the fleet out, he wanted to see the sea again. When I came back, I didn't expect to return early because of Caesar's eyes, and I couldn't continue to go down.
Now, I can actually see the tribes coming from the downstream seaside.
Shao Xuan did not directly tell others about his guesses. The people who came from the sea also brought shell coins. This information would arouse the thoughts of those who traveled far away.
"How many are they here? Where are they now?" Shao Xuan asked.
"There seem to be about fifty of them. Their rafts didn't stop until they reached the edge of the stone bridge and were taken ashore by our people. However, after going ashore, more than half of those people fainted and are now taken to the mountain."
Only fifty people
I'm afraid that the other people died in the middle of the way due to an accident.
When Shao Xuan was going up the mountain, he also heard someone in the tribe talking. Every time he saw a new tribe, there would always be a discussion in the tribe. Everyone had different beliefs, different customs, different costumes... Too many differences, are the topics they discuss.
"I heard that those people have horns on their heads!"
"What long horns, those are Dai's horns!"
"Is that really a horn? How come I've never seen a horn like that? It doesn't look like a horn..."
Shao Xuan was puzzled when he listened to the comments of those Yanjiao people.
horn
Guihe arranged those people on the mountain to receive the outsiders, which was relatively large, with rooms and beds, etc. The people of the Yu tribe had been arranged here before.
When Shao Xuan went in, he found that Gui He and Gui Ze were both there, as well as two retired old witches. Gui He was talking to a man lying on the bed. The man was excited and looked very tired. He was strong and didn't fall down. He was black and thin, with many injuries on his body, and he had a heavy accent, probably because the seaside was too far from the center, and there were no tribal people there, so his words began to have their own characteristics. , so it is more difficult for Guihe to communicate there and speak slowly.
There were some horn-like things on a table next to it, which should be the "horns" worn by those people in the tribe who were talking about. However, those were not animal horns, but a kind of snail in the sea.
Seeing Shao Xuan coming in, Gui He asked the wounded to rest first, then walked out of the room and motioned for Shao Xuan to follow him.
Those people occupied six rooms, but there were too many rooms here. Gui He took Shao Xuan to a room farther away.
"Which tribe are they from?" Shao Xuan asked.
Gui He looked complicated, glanced at Shao Xuan, and said helplessly, "I don't know."
Seeing Shao Xuan's doubts, Gui He explained, "I didn't hear what they said."
Listening and guessing in a sentence, you can only listen to the general meaning. When those people are excited, they speak faster, and Gui He can't understand what they are saying.
"However, there should be people in their team who can speak better, but most of them are in a coma now, and the remaining people are just keeping their eyes closed because of their vigilance. However, after Gui Ze gave them the medicine, their attitude was obvious. It's much better, and it seems that there is nothing to say. Their emotions are more complicated. Let's say they are excited and happy. The eyes, it's very strange, it's something no other tribe has ever shown."
Thinking of something, Guihe took out a shell, "They brought a lot of things, including beautiful stones, and this extremely rare shell coin. No, this is different from the previous shell coins, and it has not been polished. It even sticks to rotting flesh."
Shao Xuan took a closer look. He had learned from Yang Sui how to distinguish valuable shells before. Some shells looked beautiful and seemed to be valuable, but in fact they had no medicinal value at all and could not be used as shells. , can't fool the insider. And some seem inconspicuous, but they can exchange more things from some people who know the goods.
At this time, the shell that Guihe took out not only had a gorgeous pattern, but also met the preferences of some people who were more concerned about the color and texture. Moreover, this shell also belonged to that kind of medicinal value.
"These things are enough to become shell coins, even better than the quality of shell coins in the past." Shao Xuan said.
"That's true, but it's strange that those people don't seem to take these very seriously. You know, if you need to trade supplies, you will definitely protect these shells well, but those people don't. They value It's a big shell."
"Big shell?"
"Yes, I have asked people to move the big shell to a room. The people in the team who haven't fallen yet are guarding next to the big shell. I can feel that there is someone inside that big shell!"
