Chapter 199 Changzhou Tribe
When winter comes, the Yanjiao tribe has already prepared for winter with the witch's advance notice. ≤
This winter, the Yanjiao tribe exudes a fresh atmosphere, not as quiet as in previous years. Even in the foothills of the mountain, people can often be seen coming out to move. This is extremely rare.
The soldiers are training and even try to hunt prey on the edge of the tribe. If it were the case, such behavior would undoubtedly be regarded as a lunatic by others. The hunting song says that going out to hunt in winter is very dangerous, so everyone has formed a tacit understanding that they will not go out in winter.
But now it’s different. Everyone seems to have a force to hold it in their hearts. If they can’t vent it, they feel uncomfortable all over. Some people go to train on a snowy day or find someone to practice. For the first time, people who think training is boring have the idea of going to the edge to hunt. As long as they don’t go deep into the mountains and forests and walk around the edge, it should be OK?
At first, some people were worried about being scolded, but when they found that many people on the mountain were wandering outside, they felt at ease.
"Can we really cross this river and return to our hometown?" A soldier asked his companions beside him.
"It must be, do you doubt the witch?!"
"No! There is absolutely no doubt...the witch said such things?"
"Hey, you guys say, what do people who fall outside look like? Do you have a pair of hands? There are fewer eyes?" A soldier came over and interrupted.
"I heard that there are eight hands on the totem of the Weiba tribe! They must have eight hands too! Sure!"
"There are so many? It sounds very fun. I'll catch one and take a look."
For those who fall outside, many of the "barbarians" born and raised in the Yanjiao Tribe have not been completely accustomed to new ways. In their current thoughts, they subconsciously classify those fall outside and ferocious beasts. When they gather together to discuss, they always use the tone of talking about ferocious beasts.
Since the incident in the Fire Pond happened, Wu decided to reveal more information, and also drew some totems falling outside and a very brief explanation. There was no way, Wu himself didn't know the detailed information. He copied the information from the animal skin scroll left by his ancestor. As for whether the people falling outside really had eight hands, Wu was still confused. The ancestor left too few things.
Not only the warriors of the tribe, but also the rest of the tribe, the elderly, children, and women, the winter activities are different from before. Even the children living in the cave have more winter classes.
However, no matter where it is, everyone's discussions about people falling out of the outside world are always a bit weird.
Wu had once went down the mountain to visit him secretly. After hearing everyone's talk, Wu felt very tired. When he went up the mountain, he sighed and his back was hunched. But there was no way, so he had to wait for Shao Xuan to come back before making specific plans.
Shao Xuan, who was loved by tribes, and accompanied Zhazha and Yang Sui, and successfully arrived at the Changzhou Tribe's tribe along the direction of the Changzhou Tribe fleet.
When Shao Xuan arrived at Changzhou Tribe, it had been snowing for half a day. The snow was not too heavy. After half a day, some places were not covered. This was a situation that could not be seen in the Yanjiao Tribe. If it was in the Yanjiao Tribe, it would take less than half an hour to pile up on the ground.
The Changzhou tribe is divided into land and water territories. Usually they will leave a way out not far from the river bank to passers-by, but when they load and unload goods or some special periods, they will block all this area. Passing travelers have to take a detour.
Fortunately, this time was not the period of riverbank blockade, and there was a small team of travelers passing by in front of Shao Xuan and others.
"Shao Xuan, do you want a boat when you come to Changzhou Tribe?" Yang Sui asked.
"No, I'll find someone."
"Look for someone? Do you know the people from Changzhou Tribe?"
“Don’t know.”
"Then who are you looking for?" Yang Sui was puzzled.
"Our tribe." Shao Xuan paused and said, "If there were any, they should be considered tourists."
"Tourist? Are you here to look for tourists?" Yang Sui was surprised.
Aren’t the so-called tourists all the people who were destroyed but not captured but became prisoners, and were unwilling to be slaves?
Shao Xuan is a totem warrior, which means that the fire of the Yanjiao tribe is still there, and the fire is still there. How could those people become tourists? They were expelled?
Shao Xuan didn't say much, Yang Sui couldn't figure it out, and he didn't plan to ask. What he wanted to do most now was to find a boat specially rented for travelers, to go to a room, have a good sleep, eat some hot food, and preferably a little hot soup.
Like some large tribes, the Changzhou Tribe also has a place for travelers or passers-by to live, but it only needs to be exchanged for things, which is very expensive.
Yang Sui picked up a boat, which was also the one in which the traveler team lived in before. He gave some coins to the Changzhou tribe, but he was reluctant to go out after entering the room.
After Shao Xuan drank some hot water, he decided to go out and find someone.
"Hey, Shao Xuan, don't go out for too long. Also, if you leave Changzhou Tribe, don't leave silently and call me, otherwise I will be killed if I stay here. With me here, I can still give you a way." Yang Sui said.
Shao Xuan responded and walked out the door. He didn't believe that those who dared to run around alone and survive until now would be so easily slaughtered.
Zhazha was looking for food in the surrounding mountains and forests. Shao Xuan was not worried about it. Instead, it was not used to entering the Changzhou tribe, so he let it harm the wild beasts outside.
After Shao Xuan got off the boat, he looked back at the big ship docked by the river bank. He just looked carefully. Although the boat was not very delicate, it was strong enough and there were many people who could hold it.
Withdrew his gaze, Shao Xuan continued to walk in one direction. He had asked before that the tourists lived there was just over there.
There are patrol teams of Changzhou Tribe around, staring at every stranger passing by with caution. As long as these people cross the boundary, they will take action without mercy. The so-called crossing means that one cannot enter the habitat of Changzhou Tribe on land, and two, they cannot board the boat at will.
When Shao Xuan walked over, he was also stared at him, but probably felt that Shao Xuan was not threatening and was not dressed gorgeously, so he didn't pay much attention. As long as Shao Xuan didn't cross the lines they drew, they would not give Shao Xuan another look.
The snow was flying. It wasn't big, but it was very dense. It was a little more anxious than when I came just now.
Shao Xuan walked on the land without using any cover, and let the snowflakes fall on his body.
Many of the people from the Changzhou tribe stayed on the boat most of their time, and even when they returned to the tribe, they stayed in the boat. They were all used to life on the boat, but they were uncomfortable when they arrived on the land. Therefore, Shao Xuan walked all the way, and there were not many people moving away from the river bank and the direction of the woods. There were so many people in the boats docked on the shore. There were endless people eating, drinking, talking and laughing.
The shore was almost full of large ships, and most of the fleets that went out came back, cramming the wide river surface and stretching far forward. Shao Xuan walked for more than ten minutes but didn't see it. It was really a boat river.
When the big ships on the shore gradually became sparse, Shao Xuan also came to an empty area.
This is the division area between the Changzhou Tribe and the tourist residential area.
Shao Xuan walked over and said that compared to the warm atmosphere on the fleet of Changzhou Tribe ahead, the tourist area was much deserted. Although some people were talking and laughing loudly, the atmosphere was different. It was like a slum located in a dark corner in a bustling city.
There are also houses on the land here. Because they cannot enter the territory of the Changzhou Tribe, the space is limited. They cannot go deep into the woods, but there are also many tourists. Since they cannot go deep horizontally, they will expand vertically. As a result, a narrow and long area for tourists to live in is formed.
There are also many boats docked near the river bank. However, compared with the large ships of the Changzhou Tribe, the boats here are very small and much simpler.
In some small boats that are four to five meters long, a simple shed is built. People live in it, and they spend the winter too.
Sometimes when the wind is strong, the boats will shake violently. If they weren't tied to wooden stakes on the shore, they would probably be blown away in one go.
The people here work for the Changzhou tribe, transporting wood, chopping wood, transporting things, and dirty and tiring work. They also use this labor to exchange for permission to live here, and at the same time exchange for some meager rewards. This is when the employer is in a good mood and is in a bad mood, and sometimes he can't get anything.
These are all what Shao Xuan heard Yang Sui say. Perhaps the real situation is much worse and darker than what Yang Sui said.
As for tourists from the Yanjiao Tribe, Shao Xuan just came here to search, and was not sure if he could find it.
How to find it? Could it be that you have to write a sign here and hang it? Or do you want to go all the way?
Thinking about how to find those people, Shao Xuan also paid attention to the movements on both sides while walking.
When they walked to a place, Shao Xuan heard a quarrel and a crackling sound of a broken wooden block.
"Jiaowu, stop!" someone shouted.
horn?
Shao Xuan once heard Yan Shuo say that some tourists from the Yanjiao tribe will add "Yan" or "Ke" to the names of themselves or their descendants. Many names with the characters "Yan" or "Ke" may not be from the Yanjiao tribe, but when they meet Shao Xuan, they will ask, and most of the time they return disappointed. Now he also plans to ask.
As soon as he took a step over there, Shao Xuan saw a man taller and stronger than others stepping out of the wooden house. The animal leather jacket on his body was not thick, and it had hair sheds in many places, with many holes. He looked like he had been wearing it for a long time and had a beard, but if you look closely, he was actually very young and not much older than Shao Xuan.
The man was angry, not sure whether it was the anger that was red or the wind was blown red. Someone behind him chased out the door, shouting the name "Jiaowu". However, the person who came out in front did not look back and quickly left.
"Oh, why are you angry?" the man whispered.
"That's right, just ask casually, hiss, that guy is getting stronger again." Someone in the room said.
Hearing their conversation, Shao Xuan looked at the person who had already walked away and quickly chased after him.
"Oh, the one in front." Shao Xuan shouted.
The people ahead did not stop, but instead walked faster.
"Jiaowu!"
