Chapter 241 - Come visit often (2/2)
“Let’s go to exchange for some food. Where we are is not far from the Lu tribe, which breeds many beasts. I can take some people to exchange with them for some beasts. There won’t be much food that we can get before we arrive at the old land. The food is not enough for us.” Shao Xuan said.
The people living here mainly raised animals and grew crops. Furthermore, in this journey, there were less mountains, all of which were small, and so there were few large beasts. It was difficult for them to hunt enough beasts for food.
Regarding the Lu tribe, Ao had learned about it from Shao Xuan’s record. Ao liked this tribe. The people of this tribe lived on raising beasts and were known as the kind people in the central region. He believed they were good trading partners.
After thinking about it, Ao agreed with Shao Xuan’s idea.
The team didn’t need to stay here and wait, Shao Xuan estimated where they would arrive. He agreed with Ao to meet at a place. Then he brought some water moonstones and left for the Lu tribe with fifty warriors.
Shao Xuan hadn’t seen the people of the Lu tribe for two years since he left, but that man called Yan Jiu still remembered Shao Xuan.
Hearing Shao Xuan wanted to exchange for some beasts, Yan Jiu led Shao Xuan and his followers to the farm with enthusiasm.
Although Shao Xuan had told Ke Ke and the others about the farm of the Lu tribe, they were still really surprised when they saw it. Yan Jiu felt proud of his tribe when he noticed their reaction. He boasted about the various breeding beasts.
The warriors who ate a few small beasts for a couple days, couldn’t help but drool and fix their eyes on those fat birds as big as cranes.
Meat, meat!
“What do you need?” Yan Jiu asked Shao Xuan. He knew that although Shao Xuan was not the oldest, he was the leader among them.
“Shao Xuan, that one! We must take the fattest one!” Ke Ke hurriedly pointed at it to Shao Xuan.
“What else? We will take them out for you.” Yan Jiu said with a smile.
Shao Xuan ordered some beasts, the few people next to him could not help but choose several.
Shao Xuan calculated how many beasts they could exchange their water moon stones for while Ke Ke and the others chose some. Fortunately in the central region, the water moonstones value appreciated, so they could exchange them for more beasts.
After they finished choosing the beasts, Yan Jiu calculated the number of the breeding beasts in his mind twice and then said,“Two hundred and fifty, right?”
Shao Xuan: “...Yes.”
Taking out the water moon stones to Yan Jiu, Shao Xuan looked at five breeding birds which had been tied up and saw someone pushing a wooden cart towards him. He said, “We don’t need the cart.”
“You sure?” After confirming that they did not need the wooden cart, Yan Jiu took out a dozen bird eggs, “Since you do not need us to carry the beasts, I will give you some eggs.”
The eggs were placed in astraw net, and Shao Xuan had Chacha hold the net. Each warrior held five of the breeding beasts.
Seeing Shao Xuan and the others walking quickly with five big birds each, Yan Jiu was shocked.
While seeing off Shao Xuan and the others, Yan Jiu smiled and said, “If you need more breeding beasts, you can just get me a message. I’ll send them to you!”
“OK, we will soon return to our old land. When we settle down, you can visit us often.” Shao Xuan said, turned around, carried the breeding beasts and then left the Lu tribe with Ke Ke and the others.
“Where will you settle down?” Yan Jiu asked.
“The Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest!”
Yan Jiu stood still in the original place: “...”
Rubbing his stiff face, Yan Jiu could not help but clean his ear with his finger. He asked the man next to him in a daze, “Where did he say they will settle down?!”
Standing next to Yan Jiu, the man swallowed his saliva, and stuttered, “Maybe… near the Wan Shi tribe, the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest.”
Not mention the Wan Shi tribe, the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest is a dangerous place. They will settle there? Did he ask us to visit them often?
