As the winter ended, some rafts and boats started sailing on the river. But most of them were from the wanderers and the slaves living here. The traveling teams had not set off yet.
Shao Xuan did not see the slave owner this time. Yan Shuo said the slave owner called Shi Shu hadn’t come back since he had headed out for somewhere in the winter. No one knew when he would return, but he had ordered several senior slaves to control the other slaves so the slaves here didn’t dare to be lazy. These days you could see the slaves being busy.
Meanwhile, Shao Xuan, Yan Zhi and the others fixed the docked boat.
The boat was still there. It wasn’t stolen, though no slaves guarded it. When it snowed, no one was willing to sail. When it stopped snowing, some who planned to steal the boat gave up this idea because they saw Shao Xuan.
“We set out tomorrow.” Shao Xuan said.
Fan Ning still remembered Shao Xuan, but he still showed indifference on his face.
Shao Xuan didn’t care about his attitude, for he had always looked indifferent.
After talking with several familiar men around him, he followed the guide of some people in the Pu tribe to look for Yu.
It was the first time Yan Zhi and the others had ever entered a tribe, and it was not their own tribe. Surrounded by the totem warrior, they felt very nervous.
Some members of the Pu tribe near them looked at them with contempt, while others totally ignored them. They knew they had nothing good to exchange with them at the first glance. They would not trade with them, so naturally they had a bad attitude.
When there were few people around them, Jiao Wu could not help but whisper to his brother, “Their eyes are so big.”
He had intended to say something else, but he was stared at by Yan Zhi.
As it was warmer, the people of the Pu tribe began to hold some frog activities. Yan Zhi and the others tried not to touch those frogs, because Shao Xuan had told them before they came here, although the frogs looked very fat and very delicious.
However, those who knew Shao Xuan were clear that this guy owned many good things that were brought from the central region.
“Will the trade start in two days?” Shao Xuan looked at the houses around him and asked the people next to him.
Many people in the surrounding area had begun to set their things down, which showed that the people of the Pu tribe had started trading.
“Oh, Shao Xuan, the people of the Luo tribe will come today to trade. You can see what you can trade for.” The man said.
When he saw Yu’s house, Shao Xuan thanked the man, game a piece of dried meat to him, and said, “Thank you.”
The smell of meat shocked him, for he did not expect that he could get a reward because of leading the way. He grinned and looked around. When no one noticed him, he quickly stuffed it into his animal skin bag. He did not want to let others know he got a reward to avoid being robbed.
This time, Yu did not intend to go with the traveling team. When Shao Xuan arrived there, he was still sleeping in his small house.
Shao Xuan’s visit pleased Yu. He knew Shao Xuan wanted to get some frog poison, so he made various kinds of frog poison and poisonous stingers in front of Yan Zhi and the others who were curious. He also dug out some of his grandfather’s private buried things.
“These things were made by my grandfather last year. If it is kept for too long, it will no longer be effective. I give it to you.” Yu said with clear conscience, and didn’t worry that his old grandfather would be furious if he knew about this.
“Thanks.”
At this time, some people not far from them became active.
“Perhaps the people of the Luo tribe are coming here. You can get some fishing nets from them. Their fishing nets are very good, but I don’t know what their nets are made of.”
“Alright, I’ll go and have a look for now.”
After Shao Xuan left, Yu yawned and intended to continue to sleep.
“Who came here just now? Hey, where is my frog poison? I planned to use it to trade for something with the people of the Luo tribe.” The old man had come back.
“Grandpa, do you know the Flaming Horns tribe?” Yu asked.
“No idea. It sounds a bit familiar. Where is my frog poison?”
“Shao Xuan is a member of the Flaming Horns tribe.”
“Well, where is my frog poison?”
“Last year, when I went out with the traveling team, I saw Shao Xuan defeat a person of the Thousand Faces tribe.”
“Oh, I remember you said that before. My frog poison?”
They began to have a dialogue of the deaf, which happened once a day.
The Luo tribe left an impression on Shao Xuan because of its special nets. They used very a thin material to weave their nets, and that material was made from some kind of processed plant.
Shao Xuan traded for a fishing net and also several fish skin coats.
Fish skin coats were very common in the Luo tribe. It was different from the animal skin coats of other tribes.
Their tribe was surrounded by three rivers, and they could catch fish in two of those rivers. They used the most primitive tools and the most common materials to make clothes which covered their bodies and kept them warm.
Every tribe, including the Luo tribe and the Pu tribe, had experienced countless ups and downs. Each tribe developed unique skills in its unique history to survive and develop. Even if had not even touched the more advanced civilization and culture of the central region, they had still entered the threshold of civilization, but it took them a longer time.
Civilization and skills were the results of hard life.
Compared to the trade in the central region, the trade here was more profitable. No wonder the people of the Pu tribe always liked to travel far.
Yan Zhi and the others had learned a lot thanks to following Shao Xuan.
After staying in the Pu tribe for the night, early in the morning of the next day, Shao Xuan took the boat and headed for the Drumming tribe with Yan Zhi and the others.
The closer they got to the Drumming tribe, the more nervous Yan Zhi and the others became. Although Shao Xuan had told them that the crocodiles in that tribe were special, they still could not help but feel nervous. They kept recalling the bloody event.
“The Drumming tribe is there.” Shao Xuan looked at the river in the front and said.
Yan Zhi and the others became even more nervous, and they kept glancing over the river from time to time.
Huaaa~~!
A figure jumped out of the water. When he dropped down, he stood on the water.
Soon, Yan Zhi and the others saw a ferocious head covered with some hard skin and a pair of extremely sharp eyes, that revealed gradually, under the feet of the man.
Behind them, pairs of yellow and brown eyes appeared, also revealing huge jaws…
Besides Shao Xuan, everyone looked pale.
The man was a patrolling warrior of this tribe. Different from those of the Pu tribe, the warriors here remembered Shao Xuan.
“Hey, it is you.” The warrior said with enthusiasm and familiarity, but his facial expression made Yan Zhi and the others feel nervous, and always feel like he was very cruel.
Hearing Shao Xuan’s intention, the warrior led Shao Xuan with enthusiasm to the tribe. But when he laughed, his face looked even crueller.
When walking, Shao Xuan heard the shout which others could not hear.
That little guy was shouting. Last year when he saw it, it was only a fragile little crocodile.
In the pond in front of him, a figure and a pair of dark brown eyes appeared. Although it grew bigger, Shao Xuan could recognize it at the first glance.
“Little Yan Nian, come here. Brother will introduce you to a crocodile.”
