Chapter 199 – The Longboat tribe

When the winter came, everyone in the Flaming Horns tribe had already prepared for the winter because the Shaman had told them to do so in advance.
This winter, many of the Flaming Horns tribe were active and energetic, not as quiet as previous years. Even at the mountainfoot, many people were active. This was extremely rare.
The warriors were in the training, and they even tried hunting at the edge of the tribe. In the past, such a try would have undoubtedly been considered ridiculous. The hunting song told them it was very dangerous to hunt in winter, so everyone avoided going outside in winter.
But now it was different, and everyone seemed to be so energetic that they had to do something to consume their energy. Some people trained in the training field when it was snowing. They might get someone to spar with. Some felt training was boring, so for the first time they came up with an idea of hunting at the edge. As long as they avoided entering the distant places of the mountain, they should be safe if they stayed at the edge.
At first, some people were worried that they would be scolded. But when they found that many people living on the mountain also came outside, they felt reassured.
After passing by some big boats, Shao Xuan came to an empty area.
Here was the border between the Longboat tribe and the living area of the wanderers.
Shao Xuan went over to look. Compared with the lively atmosphere in the boats of the Longboat tribe, the wanderers living area was more deserted. Although some were talking, laughing and roaring loudly, the atmosphere was different. It was like a slum in a dark corner of a bustling city.

There were also houses on the land. The wanderers had limited space because they were not allowed to enter the area of the Longboat tribe. They couldn’t enter the forest and there wasn’t a small number of wanderers, so their living area expanded not horizontally, but vertically. As a result, a narrow area for the visitors to live took shape.
Near the river bank, there were also many boats moored. But compared to the boats of the Longboat tribe, the boats here were very small, and much simpler.
In some small boats with the length of four to five meters, a simple shed was built where some people lived. They also spent winter in the boats.
Sometimes, if there was strong wind, those boats would shake badly. If the boats had not been tied firmly to the stakes on the bank, they probably would have been blown away.
People here worked for the Longboat tribe. They carried wood, chopped trees, and delivered other things. They did all the dirty work, and they worked in exchange for the permission of living here and also for little money if the employers were pleased. Otherwise, they got nothing.
Yang Sui had told Shao Xuan about this but perhaps the reality was much harsher.
Shao Xuan just came here to try looking for some wanderers from the Flaming Horns tribe, but he was not sure whether he could find any.
How to find them? Should he write a sign here, or shout all over the place?
Thinking about how to find those people, as Shao Xuan walked, he paid attention to the situation on his sides.
In a place, Shao Xuan heard some arguing in a wooden house as well as the sound of wood breaking.
“Jiao Wu, stop!” Somebody shouted.
Jiao?
Yan Shuo had told Shao Xuan that some wanderers of the Flaming Horns tribe added “Yan” or “Jiao” to their names and the names of their descendants. Many of those with “Yan” or “Jiao” in their names might not be members of his tribe, but Shao Xuan would still ask them if he met any of them. He was disappointed for most of the time and now he planned to ask someone else. [Yan Jiao meaning Flaming Horns.]
Just going there, Shao Xuan saw a man taller and stronger than the average striding out of a wooden house. His animal skin coat was not thick and was ragged, and the fur on the coat was torn. This coat was worn out. The man had a beard, but if you looked at him carefully, you could find he was still very young, not much older than Shao Xuan.
The man was angry, his face was flushed because of anger or the cold wind. A man chased after him and shouted “Jiao Wu”. But the man in front didn’t look back, but sped up to get away.
“Oh, why so angry?” A man said.
“Don’t ask. Oh, that guy became even more powerful.” Someone in the house said.
Hearing their dialogue, Shao Xuan looked at the men going further away, and sped up to chase after them.
“Hey, you guys.” Shao Xuan shouted.
The men in the front did not stop, but left faster.
“Jiao Wu!”
The man in front just kept running away.
