Chapter 228 – Sounds quite familiar

The ships seemed to be sailing fast in the waves, but probably, they just moved forward a little bit.
Wind flow on the river was always changing, so it may be the same case with the water flow in the river!
Shao Xuan didn’t notice this in the past. When he was in the tribe, he could only see the shallow water near the bank. The water flow was not very visible, and what he could see was only the horizontal changes of the water. Moreover, after sailing out, he focused on operating the vessel and identifying the locations, so he paid no attention to the changes of the water flow. But now, with close observation, he noticed the changes of the water flow. Therefore, sometimes the ship looked like it was moving forward, but in fact it may just be travelling.
This was only Shao Xuan’s guess and he couldn’t verify it at the moment.
Nevertheless, Shao Xuan was thinking: Is there another relatively steady passage in other places of this river?
Fu Shi carried a wild beast back home with an exhausted face.
The family was eating without any word. After finishing the meal, Fu Shi and his wife would continue their duties, one for patrol and the other for defense.
It was rare for Chen Jia, who was quite rebellious usually, to become obedient. He knew that recently the atmosphere in the tribe was not good, and that everyone was worried.
“Are they really coming?” Chen Jia asked.
Fu Shi looked up at Chen Jia, nodding with a long sigh.
When the rainy season was over, they went to the Pu tribe to trade, to exchange for tools and better stones, and to make preparations for the Water Moon Festival. It was at that time that the Pu tribe told them a message: last year, some tribe in the central region found an important medicinal function of the water moonstone, and then, water moonstones became even more popular in the central region. For a water moonstone of the same size, the things it could exchange for now were two to three times more than it did before.
Those large tribes in the central region would not come to create trouble for a tribe in the border regions in public, but it would not be the case with other tribes. Take the Martyr tribe for example, who even attacked in the last two years. It’s said that because of the failure last time, the Martyr tribe allied themselves with other tribes to loot the water moonstones this time.
Just the Martyr tribe alone was quite an ordeal for the Drumming tribe, nevermind others coming along. Things became troublesome.
Moreover, after knowing that there would be trouble at the Drumming tribe, the Luo tribe and other tribes nearby began to evade people of the Drumming tribe. There was no way for the Drumming tribe to ask them for help. Everyone did the same, in fear of getting themselves in trouble.
As to the Pu tribe, they just provided some information and clues. It’s impossible for them to interfere with this kind of trouble.
That’s why Fan Mu, the chief of the Drumming tribe, had pulled a long face recently. He had had no good sleep since the day when he got the message. What he could do was only ask the members of the tribe to prepare more tools and weapons, as many as possible.
“This year may be the most difficult one over the past few years for our Drumming tribe.” Fan Mu said.
The shaman of the Drumming tribe was sitting aside, his eyes full of worries. Others around were also laden with anxieties.
It was a good thing for the water moonstones to be more precious, and it was also a bad thing. The good thing was that the Drumming tribe could exchange for more items with water moonstones, while the bad thing was that they had no idea whether they could protect and keep these water moonstones.
“No need to fear them! They can come as they like. We can kill them one by one!” One warrior said with cold eyes. The vertical pupils in the brown eyes looked quite cold and sharp, but his temper was hot.
“He is right! Kill them one by one! Just as we did in the past!”

“We are not afraid!”
Several young warriors could not help shouting.
“Shut up!” The chief, Fan Mu, berated them.
Many were not afraid of death, but it didn’t mean that they didn’t worry. What would happen to the Drumming tribe could be foreseen if the Martyr tribe really attacked them with others.
“We can find others for help, too!” A middle-aged warrior by the side said.
Fan Mu shook his head. Few days were left now. No tribe nearby was willing to help. And they were not familiar with those tribes far away. Even if they persuaded those tribes to help, it was probably like trusting a wolf to watch over sheep. Fan Mu distrusted the tribes.
It suddenly quieted down inside the house, only some young men were panting with anger, for the Martyr tribe coming to loot the water moonstones so many times, and for the nearby tribes not willing to help.
“If only Shao Xuan and his tribe were here.” One of them suddenly said in a low voice.
At that time when Shao Xuan left, he said that the Flaming Horns tribe and the Drumming tribe would be on good terms. If it were the people of the Flaming Horns tribe, they would probably be willing to help.
“But, where will we find the people of the Flaming Horns tribe? Shao Xuan didn’t tell us where their tribe is.”
Inside the house, it quieted down again.
Right at this moment, sounds of whistles came from the river bank.
“What’s wrong? Did they come to attack so quickly?!”
“No. Not it’s not an alarm of attack, but more like……”
Soon, a patrol guard rushed in from outside in gasps, who ran too fast to stop. Fan Mu caught him and made him stop by force. The man was red-faced, whether for running or for being too excited.
“What’s the matter?!” Fan Mu asked.
Fan Mu heard a long and loud eagle cry when the warrior was about to say something.
It sounded quite familiar.
