Ancient wasteland

Heishui City is slightly different from what Jing Que thought. He originally thought that it would be a city near the southern seashore, and the buildings should be more refined and elegant.

As a result, I followed Zhuang back to the Heishui tribe, and the style of the city wall I saw was more rough and hard in the north, and the main building was a huge stone.

Neatly huge stones are piled up to form a thick wall, mixed with wooden towers and guards, and it looks like a documentary.

Watching from outside the city wall, Zhuang raised his eyebrows in surprise after listening to Jing Que's answer. Their Heishui City Wall is very hard and thick.

It is the thickest and strongest city wall among the four super tribes. It is precisely because of the existence of these walls that the Ugin tribe does not attack them.

Because weapons can't break through the city wall, and the people of their tribe stand on the city wall, but they can use rolling stones and wood to attack the people below.

Very good defense, everyone who sees their city walls for the first time will feel that their city walls are very powerful, and they are shocked by their Blackwater tribe!

...Only in this scene, seeing their city walls, they were not surprised at all, and looked at them calmly, which is really strange.

He looked at Jing He and frowned slightly, "Jing, aren't you surprised that your tribe's city walls are better than ours?"

Jing Que quickly shook his head, serious, "I'm surprised! It's just that the expression on the face is not too obvious, you can't see it!"

Zhuang, "...Okay."

He shook his head helplessly, and stopped asking this question, but took them to Heishui City, where the guards were tight.

There were two warriors with stone knives acting as guards at the gate of the city. Jing Que and the others were stopped as soon as they approached, "Who are you, come...

Master Zhuang! ? "

The guard on the left recognized Zhuang and looked at him in surprise.

Quickly holding the knife and saluting, Zhuang nodded slightly, with a cold look, and waved at the two, "They are my friends. Come to play in the tribe.

You take them back to the tribe and prepare some food. I will come over after meeting the priest and the patriarch first. Jing, tell him if you want to eat. "

Jing Zhu nodded, and then asked, "Should we go with you, and meet the priests of your tribe by the way, and exchange experiences?"

Zhuang hesitated for a while, then shook his head, "Don't go with me for the time being, wait until I go to meet the priest and tell him about your coming to the tribe.

If he wants to see you, he will send someone to pick you up. Don't worry in our tribe, the tribe is very safe, you can go with him. "

Now that Zhuang Du said so, Jing Que naturally wouldn't make a fuss to see the priest, maybe in his capacity, it wasn't enough to meet the priest in the super tribe!

Obviously, as one of the four super tribes, Heishui City already has an obvious hierarchy.

As a priest of a small tribe, Jing Que was not at all surprised to see their priests in Heishui City.

After just mentioning it by the way, he followed the soldiers leading the way and walked inside.

Blackwater City is indeed a super tribe!The overall layout is much grander than that of the Dahe Tribe. The road surface is paved with bluestone slabs and gravel, about two or three meters wide!

The houses are all stone houses, built with stacked stones. The walls are very thick, and they look similar to the ones in the Dahe Tribe.

The house is not well repaired, not as good as the brick houses in their tribe, and there is a faint smell of decay in the tribe, Jing Zhu doesn't like it very much, but overall, Jing Zhu likes their tribe better.

However, there are really many people from the Heishui tribe. They entered through the gate of the city and were led forward by the soldiers in front.

After walking for half an hour, I finally reached the place where Zhuang lived!

The city wall was on the edge of the tribe, and according to Zhuang's status, the house should not be too far away from the center of the tribe, so Heishui City is quite big.

The soldier leading the way pointed to the house in front of him, "This is where Mr. Zhuang lives. Please come in first, I'll find someone to bring some food."

After saying that, he left them and left. Jing Que lifted the animal skin curtain hanging at the door, and peeked inside. The room was cleaned quite cleanly.

There is no dust on the ground, but the air in the stone house is not circulated, and the air in their tribe itself is humid, and there is a faint musty smell.

There were several empty shells on the stone table, Jing Que picked one up to check, and guessed that the purpose of these shells should be used as teacups.

It is quite convenient, but the edge is a little sharp, so you have to be extra careful when drinking tea, lest the edge of the shell scratch your lips.

Well, not as good as the clay cups of their tribe.

Jing Que compared it in his heart, and gently slid his fingers across the shell, but this kind of shell with sharp edges can be used to chop vegetables.

Cutting a radish or peeling a sweet potato is a good choice, and you can take some with you when you go back.

After all, iron knives have not been made yet. Although the animal bone knives are good, there may be very few animal bones ground into knives, and there is only one in Jing Yu's family.

I cut vegetables and meat with the same knife every day, so it’s fine to cook them anyway, but what if...he wants to eat fruit, trouble!

Just thinking about the fruit, the soldier who had just sent them here walked in, holding a wooden plate full of fruit in his hand!

Jing Que's eyes lit up in an instant, put down the shells, walked over to the table and sat down, "Your tribe actually has lychees and mangoes.

Wow, what is this... plantain or banana, it looks weird and I don’t know if it’s good or not, and longan, you are too happy.

Do you usually skip meals and eat all-you-can-eat fruits? It’s great to be close to the tropics, where you can eat fruits anytime, anywhere. "

The soldiers who brought in the fruits were a little worried that they would not like them. After all, these wild fruits are too common, and they are Lord Zhuang's guests.

Just now I have sent people to go hunting and fishing, and they must serve the guests with the best meat. These fruits they usually eat are only used for show!

Unexpectedly, the guest actually liked it very much. It must be because he was nervous and deliberately comforted him. Sure enough, Mr. Zhuang's guests are the same as Mr. Zhuang.

They are all very good-tempered and easy to get along with. Thinking of this, the smile on his face became brighter, "My lord likes it, I'll go get some more."

Jing Zhu was also polite, and nodded quickly, "Okay, the more the better, we are all good eaters, and we can eat as much as we want!"

If you can't finish eating, you can take it away and eat it on the way back. Anyway, if the Heishui tribe has a big business, they will be a beast king with a respected status.

As a good friend who came back with Zhuang, it would be no problem to eat more fruit. Jing Qu happily peeled off the lychee skin and threw it into his mouth.

I couldn't help but praised, "It's so sweet, you eat this lychee, it's really super sweet, these are tropical fruits, and our tribe doesn't have them.

And the climate is not suitable for them to grow. It is too cold in our tribe, even if we can feed them, it may not bear fruit, or it will be bad fruit.

Otherwise, I would like to take some seeds back to plant, forget it, let's eat enough here, I think we can stay here for a few more days. "

Ye Zheng quietly peeled the lychees for him, and nodded upon hearing that, "Okay."

Jing Que was eating all kinds of fruits with a smile, and before Zhuang came back, he really filled his stomach to the full, and was jumping up and down to move around to digest food.

Zhuang came in from the outside, followed by two soldiers, carrying a wooden box in their hands, they put the box down, and went out with Zhuang's salute.

Jing Que rubbed his stomach, and talked to Zhuang with a smile, "The fruits of your tribe are so delicious, I just ate so much that I was full."

Zhuang slightly smiled and looked at him with a gentle expression, "Jing. You just passed by our tribe. How do you feel? Do you like it?"

Jing Zhu nodded, "It feels pretty good, the climate is warm and the air is humid, there are more people and houses in the tribe, and the scale is very large!

And the most important thing is that there are a lot of fruits and vegetables. I just saw someone washing vegetables. The green ones look really nice. It’s cold in our tribe.

In the cold season, only stored dried vegetables can be eaten, but fortunately, I can make sauerkraut and kimchi, so there will be no lack of vitamins in this cold season.

It's just that there is no fruit to eat in the cold season... I just couldn't help eating a lot when I saw it. "

Zhuang Dian drank from the shell, and seemed to casually mention, "Since you like our tribe so much, why don't you stay in the tribe with Ye."

Jing Que, "...no way."

Zhuang was a little surprised, and raised his brows slightly, "The reason is, don't you think your tribe is too cold, and there are no wild vegetables and fruits to eat.

Stay in our tribe, and I'll have someone build a stone house for you and Ye, so you won't be short of food in the future, and I can teach you how to practice!

Wild talent is very good, he will definitely become the beast king in the future, your poison is also very powerful, and you can do a lot of things, you can participate in the assessment!

I think you can pass the witch doctor exam, become a candidate for the priest, and also become the great priest of the Blackwater Tribe, wouldn't that be good? "

Jing Que glanced at Ye Ye, but still shook his head, "It's pretty good, but we have our own tribe, and we're here to do business with you this time!

The most is to come out to play, we don't have the idea of ​​immigrating, your Blackwater tribe is good, and our Dashan tribe is not bad either. "

After Zhuang finished drinking the water, he sighed softly, "Isn't the conditions I taught Ye Cultivator to impress you?"

Jing Que was slightly stunned, and turned to look at Xiangye.

Ye Ye calmly said, "No need."

He grabbed Jing Zhu's finger, "You can live wherever you want, even if he doesn't teach, I can slowly figure out a way myself."

Jing Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

Zhuang looked helpless, smiled and shook his head, "...that's a big tone, but I really like your personality, okay.

Since you are not willing, then I will force you too, here.These are the pearls I promised you for buying the poison powder, where is my poison powder. "

The further south you go, the plants will gradually become more lush as the climate warms up.

I picked a lot of medicinal materials and poisons on the Jingqu Road, and put them in the frame on my back. I smiled and said to Zhuang, "I will make it for you tomorrow."

As he spoke, he walked to the box, opened the lid, and was amazed by the pearly light rushing towards his face, "Wow... my God, there are so many pearls!"

The wooden box brought in by the two soldiers just now is about two meters long, half a meter wide, and about [-] centimeters high. It is a huge box.

It is full of pearls inside!Most are soft white with hints of pink and lavender!

There are different sizes, almost the size of a longan, and the smallest one is as big as a longan core. Jing Que was shocked immediately.

This... is simply a mountain of pearls!

He looked at Zhuang in surprise, "How much poison do you want? If you give me so many pearls, at the normal price, I would have to buy two carts of poison powder.

Where am I going to find so many poisons for you now, shouldn't all the pearls in this box be given to me, let me take two to play with. "

Zhuang slightly smiled, "The pearls and coins here are all for you, I don't need too much poison, and the other thing is to let you teach us how to raise silkworms!

There is also the method of making parchment and quills. If there are still pearls left after deducting them, they will be regarded as a deposit for seasoning. "

Jing Qu thought for a while, "Then I have to investigate the prices here."

Although he thinks pearls are valuable, it was his time, and natural seawater pearls were valuable, not necessarily at this time.

Just like animal skins, they were very valuable in his era, but their tribe hunted and killed wild animals to fill their stomachs, and animal skins were not that expensive!

If the Blackwater tribe often picks up shells to eat, these pearls are just a bonus for obtaining food, and they are worth the same value as animal skins, so they are not expensive.

Zhuang smiled and nodded, "Yes."

They didn't talk much, someone from outside brought food in, such as charcoal-grilled oysters, wild vegetable stew, sashimi and seaweed soup, the food was very rich.

The taste is not bad, mainly because the ingredients are fresh, it should be just picked up from the sea water, and served on the table after simple processing.

It has a slightly astringent taste of sea water, especially the stewed meat with wild vegetables. The astringent taste is particularly obvious after eating, probably because everything else is seafood.

Jing Que ate the oysters and thought for a while, "You cook with seawater? Probably not, I saw that there is a freshwater river near your tribe.

Then this smell... Do you eat sea salt in your tribe? The salt boiled out of sea water is the taste if it is not processed properly! "

Zhuang was not surprised that he could eat it, and asked with a smile, "Are you not used to this taste?"

Jing Que shook his head, "It's okay, because there is no salt near our tribe, so I am a little excited when I see salt, and I think about it in various ways."

He pointed to the kelp soup on the table, "That's right, there are not many of these in your tribe. I want to bring some back to the tribe."

Zhuang slightly smiled, "Everyone in the tribe will fish for this, if you like, I will ask them to fish for you more, there is a market in the north of the tribe.

There are many things made in the tribe and salvaged from the sea. Do you want to go shopping? I will take you there after dinner. "

Jing Zhu nodded, and leaned towards Ye, always feeling that Zhuang's enthusiasm for them was a little too much... that was the only Beastmaster of the super tribe.

Would you actually want to take them to the market in person? !It's no wonder that Jing Yu was a little vigilant in his heart, it was a bit weird.

Ye pulled him to sit next to him, separated him from Zhuang, shook his head slightly, and offered him something to eat, "It's okay, let's eat."

Sensing his vigilance, Zhuang smiled and picked up the bowl to drink the soup, "The woods where cocoons can be picked are over there, so we can talk about raising silkworms!"

Jing Que relaxed a little, "Okay, then prepare some gauze...just the silk cloth from your tribe, let's go pick up some cocoons.

When the cocoons break open and the silk moths fly out, the silk moths will lay eggs, and those eggs can be collected to hatch into silkworms... It's easy to say.

It's actually very complicated to make. Let's go and see if there are any silkworm cocoons. I'll teach you how to make a silkworm room after I pack it up. Let's go. "

Just as the meal was coming to an end, Zhuang asked people to prepare things and took them to the hillside where they could pick up cocoons.
