Busy
After the battle that ended with shocking speed, the tribespeople of the Flaming Horn tribe still kept busy.
People were seen walking in and out of the forests near the Wanshi tribe every day. Sounds of swinging axes and grunts were heard too.
The Flaming Horn tribe planned to connect the tribes in the forest and the Wanshi tribe’s village. This was to make travel much easier.
There were many challenges in travelling before this so a road would make it much more convenient.
They got rid of the dangerous plants and beasts in the forest and cut down the trees according to their plans. They used the wood to build houses in the new village. They flattened out a path for the benefits of the wheels of their carts.
Anyone that walked past this path could see the mighty Flaming Horn warriors whacking the ground with a large hammer. Each hit that struck the ground had enough force to vibrate the whole area.
“This, pluck this out, I can’t hammer well with it!” said a sweaty warrior wielding a large hammer to his friend. He was pointed at the roots of a tree that got cut down.
With a lot more land in their tribe and all the new beasts enclosures, their needs naturally increased. Some people from the Lu tribe mentioned that Yan Jiu would be more than happy to trade with the Flaming Horn tribe.
With the news of Wanshi’s defeat spreading out, some larger tribes in the central region had thoughts of taking precautions but they were afraid of ruining their relationship with Flaming Horn. They were unsure of what to do so many sent their people over to the tribe to take a look.
Shao Xuan searched around but couldn’t spot Yan Jiu or his men. He heard from someone that he may have gone to the forest to instruct the construction going on there and would only come back later on. Shao Xuan was in no rush so he headed to the travellers’ district.
The travellers stayed around the edge of the forest for nearly two years. As they weren’t Flaming Horn tribespeople, they didn’t have that signature strength so they still feared the forest. Even with guards surrounding the area, they still preferred to be as far from the forest as possible so when they knew the Flaming Horn tribe was expanding, they rushed to move there.
At the travellers’ district, the people were busy and some went to build their houses. They had to follow the strict guidelines for their houses, nothing out of plan was accepted.
The rest that stayed in the area were mostly injured, the elderly or the children. The children ran around but only in the Flaming Horn tribe’s traveller’s area. This was a privilege they had here, in other tribes, the children barely dared to step out of their houses in the traveller’s area.
As the travellers were busier these few days, the chief sent over some men to keep an eye on things in this area.
When Shao Xuan reached there, he saw a group of Flaming Horn warriors gathered together, chatting happily.
