Chapter 168
Chapter 168 – Travel team
Translated by Team Lesyt
In the end, Yu did not go to sleep. The old man had just headed back home, and the Drumming tribe’s people were leaving tomorrow, but who knew if someone from the Drumming tribe would arrive at his house for something else?
Yu had done very intensive research on frogs, but he would sleep most of the time he was in the tribe. He sometimes went to the river to find a suitable place to rest on the lotus leaves, and other times he would go into the woods to sleep on the branches. His family now consisted only of his grandfather and himself, but he was not interested in trading. He wanted to play in the tribe, but the old man didn’t allow him.
Shao Xuan did not care about the pottery and rough linen. He simply walked past them and inquired about the poisonous frogs. Since Yu was very knowledgeable on frog poison, he naturally understood how to use it properly. It seemed like that was a chance for further improvement on Shao Xuan’s traps.
Anyways, since he was always bored, Yu stayed up to chat with Shao Xuan.
Like the majority of the Pu tribe, Yu felt that the people from the Drumming tribe were rather foolish. Besides stone tools and others, they also loved buying impractical things.
“If I had that many water moonstones, I would go and trade it for lots of food, or for some high-end material tools. When I’m hungry I can eat, and when I’m full I can go out to play.” Yu said.
Mid and high quality stone, these were not so easy to find here, so Shao Xuan exchanged for some additional ones.
The Pu tribe’s travel team started ten days later.
On the day of departure, Shao Xuan was ready with his preparations.
The team has nearly two hundred people, of which more than 90 percent were from the Pu tribe. The team was currently at the river.
With a large leather bag hanging from his neck, while also carrying a large rattan basket on his back, Yu ran over while panting with the old man behind him.
The rattan basket contained a lot of things, including stone knives, spearheads, etc…, there was a lot of dried meat and baked insects.
The old man gave something to some people he knew in the team, he also stuffed a bottle of frog poison in Shao Xuan’s hand. Yu was joining the team for the first time, the old man hoped the people would take more care of him.
As expected of business men, their brain was flexible, much more than that of the Drumming tribe, Shao Xuan thought.
Looking at him breathing heavily, Shao Xuan took the rattan basket from his back.
“I’ll help you with it, I’ll give it back to you when we are on the boat.”
“Hey, no, you also brought a lot of things, my basket is very heavy, you can not afford to….” Before Yu could finish, he saw Shao Xuan easily holding up the rattan basket in one hand.
Yu and some other surrounding people were looking at the relaxed Shao Xuan, waited for a moment, then asked: “What’s your tribe?”
Yu had not seen people with more strength than the Drumming tribe before.
“Flaming Horns.” Shao Xuan said.
“Oh.” Yu and the surrounding people quietly remembered the name of the tribe.
Shao Xuan smiled, and then jumped together with the others on the boat.
The Shaman gave Shao Xuan some tasks. Back then, because of natural disasters, a split occurred within the Flaming Horns tribe, the one on the other side of the river was just one part of the tribe. Shao Xuan needed to find the other part of the Flaming Horns tribe. But until now, he had not heard anything about the “Flaming Horns tribe”.
The Shaman gave a patterned stone to Shao Xuan, and also painted Chacha’s feet with the tattoo pattern, telling his meaning of not hiding it to Shao Xuan, if the world has forgotten the Flaming Horns tribe, then let everyone remember the name.
Besides, even if he covered up his totem patterns now, if they needed to fight, then the totem patterns would be revealed, there was no need to lie.
