Chapter 168 – Travel team (2/2)
“We’ll be heading back first then. Shao Xuan, if you return, do not forget to come by our Drumming tribe.” Fu Shi said to Shao Xuan as he was standing on the crocodile’s body with his rattan basket.
“Good, I will definitely come back to you again.”
Looking at the Drumming tribesmen leave. Shao Xuan prepared to travel with the Pu tribe’s travel team by talking to more people, hoping to catch more information.
While chatting with people, Shao Xuan saw Yu running over quickly.
“Yu, what is it?” Shao Xuan asked.
Seeing Shao Xuan, Yu’s smile became bigger, spreading his own joy.
“My grandfather agreed! Haha. I just went to see team leader Fan Ning, and I can go with them in a few days!” While talking, Yu completely did not have the sleepy look of yesterday, he was full of energy, like he could not wait to run a few laps around the tribe.
Fan Ning was a team leader of the Pu tribe, he was also the team leader that Shao Xuan talked to.
“Congratulations.” Shao Xuan said.
“He he. No more talking, I need to go back to prepare.” Yu rubbed his hand and narrowed his eyes, like a poison frog excreting venom.
After a few days, Shao Xuan also saw the transactions between the Pu tribe and other tribes; like the “Luo” tribe’s great nets, which were useful not only in the rivers, but also the mountains. You could catch fish with them, but also capture a lot of beasts with them, they never lacked food.
Every time the Luo tribe came, their people would carry large nets with prey, to exchange them with the Pu tribesmen.
Besides the Luo tribe, there were other small tribes. These tribes were not so “rich”, and no tribe caught more food than the Luo tribe. But each tribe had their own survival skills, such as crafting stone tools, or looking for stone and some other rare materials, and some were also good at medicine. Those last ones would exchange prepared medicines or raw medicinal materials.
Having stayed in the Pu tribe for several days, Shao Xuan also exchanged for a lot of good things. Since it was necessary to travel, he would naturally need some good stones. And as he would be carving stone, he exchanged water moonstones for stone carving tools.
Stone tools and herbs. These were all the things he needed to prepare.
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.
