Ancient wasteland

Jing Que decided on the time to go to the south, and first went to tell the wild that it was very dangerous for the patriarch and the priests to leave the tribe.

Fortunately, it is the cold season. In the harsh climate, other tribes are too busy to take care of themselves, and no one will pay attention to them.

Although many people gathered around the tribe, they all migrated here because they couldn't live in the same place.

No matter what it turned out to be, in this kind of weather outdoors, those who live in the wind and sleep in the tribe went to their tribe.

They all looked like refugees, and they all looked thin and out of shape from hunger.

Living near their tribe, with the food they provided, I was relieved, and my stomach was always talking about empty plans.

He didn't even have the strength to take two more steps, let alone fight with the tribal fighters in them, and he couldn't even get through the walls of their tribe.

Jing Que was not worried that they would gather crowds to make trouble, but told Bei to remember to clear up the number of people in time when distributing food every day.

If someone is found dead, the people of their tribe will take action, burn the body and bury it.

We must resolutely put an end to cannibalism!

Bei nodded quickly, "Okay."

When their tribe was most hungry, they never had the idea of ​​using the tribe as food, so the old priest firmly refused.

Speaking of which, sooner or later the tribe will kill each other and disappear in a certain cold season, and the man-eating tribe beast gods will not protect them.

Bei fully agrees with this idea, their tribe has never eaten human flesh, that's why the beast god sent Jing to their tribe!

This is their second trip to the Blackwater Tribe, and Jing Qu originally planned to make more stops in the tribes along the way to do a field trip!

However, he has been delayed in the tribe for a long time, and now he has to rush to the southern tribe as soon as possible, and he doesn't want to expose the existence of space in front of Huyue.

It seems that we have to wait until they return, and then slowly go to those tribes to see the situation. At that time, we have to bring more things in the south and make some small deals with the tribes on the way, so as to leave a good impression on them and facilitate the tribes in the future. Caravan established.

Jing Que really wanted to open up the trade routes. By then, the material and cultural exchanges between the north and the south would be much more convenient, but it was a bit difficult.

The main reason is that the road is not connected... Road construction is a big project. With the current scale of their tribe, it is impossible to build this road into a concrete road.

Without a smooth road, there is no way to drive, and most of the goods must be purely manpower, maybe with the moo beast, it can help to distribute some.

It is quite a long distance in itself, and the terrain in the middle is very complicated, with various mountains and rivers, and many hidden dangers.

It is not a simple matter to safely transport goods from the southern tribes to their tribes.

Jing Que has proposed a trade route plan now, but he doesn't know if he can see this trade route plan completed in his lifetime.

However, although the road ahead is boundless and the responsibilities are heavy and the road is long, someone still has to think about it. Business exchanges are very meaningful.

Maybe when we do archaeology in the future, we will find traces of their tribe's walking, and he will be discovered by later generations because of this. It's a bit beautiful to think about it.

They went to the south this time to participate in a trade fair jointly held by the four major tribes. Jing Que brought a lot of porcelain, colored glaze and parchment.

In a place where life is richer and more developed, people have no worries about food and clothing, and they will definitely like porcelain and glazed luxury goods with exquisite and beautiful workmanship.

In particular, the four super tribes already have obvious class stratification, and there must be a big gap between the rich and the poor.

There are many rich people!There are many people who are willing to spend money to enjoy it. At that time, he can rely on these to make money, and then buy some special products back!

He has room for a lot of stuff, and with Ye, a super-fast partner, he can go north and south and go anywhere.

With conditions like his, doing business is really profitable!

In addition, the super tribes all have their own characters, which are engraved on wood and stone slabs. Huyue wrote it to him, but he didn't know it.

It is much different from the oracle bone inscriptions in his impression, it should be other ancient characters, after knowing that there are such things as parchment in their tribe.

Huyue asked him for a full ten, and she cherished them very much, and said that she would take them back to her teacher, that is, for the sacrifice of the Blackwater Tribe.

By the way, I also reminded him to bring more. Although the four super tribes are not like their tribes, everyone can learn to read as long as they want to.

The inheritance of characters is taught by priests to apprentices. Even so, they still have a headache for writing, recording and preserving characters.

Wooden boards are perishable and stone boards are easy to break, and they take up a lot of space. There are mountains of stone boards and wood boards piled up in every sacrificial house.

There are too few people who can read, and if you want to find a piece from it, you have to do it yourself, which is a very labor-intensive and time-consuming task.

Jing Que remembers that when he was studying history, before paper was made and used, things were recorded on bamboo slips, and scholars at that time traveled.

I have to pull a lot of bamboo slips at every turn. Thinking about it carefully, it is really uncomfortable, so I took all the parchment in the tribe.

When he returns from the Blackwater Tribe, he should think about making paper, which is cheaper than parchment.

After the paper is made, the thread-bound book is also very convenient for inquiry!

Not only did I pack all the parchment in stock, but I also brought a lot of quills and brushes, as well as lampblack made in the tribe.

It must be very popular with the priests. The priests in the super tribe should also be very rich!Anyway, Zhuang is very rich!

The climate in the south is mild, and fruits and wild vegetables can be picked at any time.

There was never a shortage of food, and I didn't intend to promote bacon to them. Naturally, I didn't bring corn and sweet potatoes, but I brought some honey as food.

Before sugar was extracted, honey was the most common sweetening seasoning, which can make people feel happy, but the output is relatively small.

Only by domesticating bees in the wild can he save two jars for him. He doesn't believe that there will be people who don't like honey in places that lack sweetness.

In addition, there are a lot of seasonings, such as chili, pepper, onion, ginger and garlic, which are full of two pockets. Their tribe has a good harvest of seasoning this year.

Except for the people in the tribe who cook and cook soup, even those outside the tribe can get a bowl of chili water or ginger soup to keep out the cold every day.

Although it is not cold in the south, most of them live near the sea. They felt it last time when they were in Jingqu, the humidity is heavy there!

In the cold season, although the climate is warm, there is no shortage of food, and there is no need to use animal skins to keep out the cold when sleeping, but the room is always damp.

On the one hand, the houses there are airtight, and on the other hand, because the air is too humid, even the furniture and houses in the house can't bear it.

Where can that person be in good health? !That's why they brought local chili sauce so popular at the time, this time they simply brought seasoning.

After he had packed all his things, Ye Ye came back with a longbow made by Zhang Xin. It was simple in shape, dark and very majestic.

Jing Que looked at Ye's new weapon, "It's really pretty, and it's heavy."

Ye reached out to take it off his shoulder and handed it to Jing Que, "Try it."

Jing Que took it smoothly, although he was mentally prepared, he was still weighed down by the weight of the longbow when he took it, "It's so heavy!"

Estimated to weigh a hundred or so catties, he tried to pull the bowstring, but there was no movement at all. He smiled and shook his head, "It can't be pulled."

It seems that he has no talent in this area, and he doesn't have enough strength. He doesn't even want to practice accuracy, so he should concentrate on practicing swords.

Returning the longbow to Ye, "Why did you make the bow so heavy? Aren't you afraid that your arms will be sore when you use it?"

Ye took it over, with the bowstring down, and randomly scratched it on the wooden table.

The bowstring touched the table, and without exerting any force, the piece of wood was cut off and fell to the ground with a "snap".

Jing Que's eyes widened in surprise, "...Awesome, I've only seen strings used as weapons before, but I didn't expect bow strings to be used as weapons?!

Is that the arm of this bow can also be used as a weapon? The shape of your longbow is flat, it looks a bit like a spear that is not very straight. "

Ye nodded, "That's right, so I don't need to bring more weapons."

Apart from smiling and showing appreciation in his eyes, Jing Que didn't know how to praise him for a while!

Whose child is this, bah!Who is so powerful!

After the things were packed and they explained clearly to the old priest that they might come back later this time, they went out and headed south.

To be exact, they went out to fly south, and the wild speed was very fast. It didn't take long for them to feel the temperature rise, and slowly saw some green.

It's okay for Jing Que, he is an otaku, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable if he is not allowed to go out. After seeing the grass, Hu Yue was so excited that he almost cried.

She was really frightened by the cold season of the mountain tribe!It's too cold, even if you wear thick clothes, you can sit in the house with a fire.

Looking at the vast expanse of whiteness outside, without any other colors, she would feel very cold, even if her body was not cold, her heart would still be cold.

There is only such a small space in the house, she hasn't gone out for more than two months, and she almost counts the bricks on the wall of the house!

Every day I would go out and be frozen to death, or stay in the house and be bored to death, hesitating, and then jumping in the house in a hurry.

This will see the green grass and trees outside, and breathe the mild air. It is as happy as being imprisoned for ten years and finally released after serving the sentence!

If Jing and the others were not in a hurry, she really wanted to jump off and play in place for two days before leaving, but she didn't dare to speak... she was afraid.

The main reason is that he is afraid of the wild, Jing Zhu, he is powerful, but he has a good temper, he is not easy to offend, and he doesn't get angry when he is offended.

In fact, Ye is calm and doesn't like to talk. Huyue has never seen him get angry, but he is just afraid, and she is afraid in the bottom of her heart.

She pondered, this should be a problem of suppressing bloodlines, the wild animal form is too domineering, even if she doesn't deliberately use it, she will be afraid.

He didn't dare to make a fuss in front of Ye at all, so he just took a second look in the air, and he didn't ask to stop at all.

Thinking of this, Huyue hesitated for a long time before looking at Jing Que hesitantly, "The wild blood is suppressed, don't use it in our tribe."

She knew that she could hear Jing Zhuo talking to her, so she looked at Jing Zhuo's puzzled eyes.

Cough, "Just don't show it, we don't like that talent."

After speaking, I was afraid that they would not pay attention to it, so I emphasized, "I really don't like it, and it's not just us in Heishui City who don't like it.

They don't like the rest of the other tribes either, if they find out, they might..."

At the end, he was a little afraid to go on, Jing Que's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Will there be a dispute with us?"

Hu Yue nodded vigorously, "Yeah!"

Then he shook his head again, "More than that, maybe... maybe you won't be able to go back."

Jing Que let out a breath of air, "...is it so fierce?! Could it be that your tribe has enmity with the people who are suppressed by blood.

But if this is the case, from the perspective of your tribe, you shouldn't tell us.

You tell us now, the priests of your tribe..."

Huyue's face turned pale, "It's not that there is any hatred, it's just that I don't want such people to appear in our tribe, including around our tribe.

As long as you don't show up in our tribe or other super tribes, they won't find out if you sacrifice.

The mountain tribe is so far away from our tribe, I think... there should be no problem, anyway, you'd better listen to me. "

Jing Que thought about it, and probably understood the concerns of the super tribe.

It's nothing more than fear that those with this kind of talent will suppress the beast kings in their tribe when they grow stronger and become beast kings.

It is a bit dangerous for the strongest combat power to be suppressed, but Jing Yu can understand their thoughts, and sighed, "Okay, then..."

He reached out and patted Ye on the back, "Be careful, we are going to someone else's base camp, it is very dangerous.

Even if I have [-] combat strength, I still need your protection in a real fight. The other four beast kings can't beat them. "

They didn't stop on the road, they were very fast, and it didn't take long for them to reach the Blackwater Tribe.

Huyue returned to the tribe, very happy, cheering and jumping.

Let someone carry the things they brought back, and go to find her teacher.

Jing Que shook his head and asked Ye, "Then shall we go to Zhuang?"

Ye nodded, "Yeah."

The two went to Zhuang's residence with ease, and Zhuang expressed his welcome.

I heard that they came here this time to participate in the big assembly, so I told them about the assembly of the four major tribes.

The meeting is chosen in the middle of the four tribes, held by the four tribes in turn, and there will be a big gathering every year, once a year.

Most people in the super tribe will participate, there are a large number of people, and there are many things that can be exchanged, which can be described as very lively.

Zhuang looked at them with a smile, "You are right this time. This year's big gathering will be held by our tribe. There will be many small tribes participating.

It will definitely be very lively then, by the way, what good things did you bring this time.

I like the hot sauce you brought last time. "

Jing Que smiled, "There are tapes, not only the hot sauce from last time, but also other seasonings, such as onion, ginger, garlic, and peppercorns.

Do you want it? I'll show it to you first. You can exchange whatever you like. It's cheaper for you. After all, I'm a high-quality regular customer. "

As he said that, he dug out all the seasonings for him to choose. This time, Jing Que brought very little chili sauce, mainly because the clay pots were heavy and not easy to carry.

The main thing I brought was dried chili and Chinese prickly ash, so I brought ten cans of chili sauce, all of which were rounded up by Zhuang Haoqi.

Not only that, but also some dried chilies, Chinese prickly ash, green onions, ginger and garlic, and I bought a jar of the honey I brought.

They also liked porcelain and glazed beads very much, so I bought a copy of them all, and gave them a whole small basket of beads and coins.

Instead, it was parchment and pen and ink, which Zhuang expressed no interest in.

But even though he didn't dare to be interested, he actively advised them, "Fox Yue came back with you.

She is probably at the priest now, and the priest will come to you soon to change the parchment, you wait.

If he comes to you later, try to raise the price of the paper as much as possible, he is richer than me. "

Jing Que and Ye looked at each other with a little joy, "Okay!"
