early morning.
Several children with spears were practicing fighting in the open space. The elders of the tribe worked at the cave entrance and looked at them from time to time.
The children had been fighting for a while, their heads covered with sweat and dust.
One of the children stopped the attack. The spear stood up and said to the others, "I''ll take a rest and drink some water."
Another child immediately said, "I''ll go too!"
Finally, all the children decided to have a rest and drink water first.
The children ran to their respective adults, asked for water sacs, put down spears, and gulped water.
The dry mouth child drank most of the water in the water bag in one breath. The rest of the water splashed down on his head and wiped off the stains on his face with his hands. Then he shook his head and ran back to the open space to pick up the spear and fight again.
Washing one''s face with water is a luxury behavior of Tushan tribe in the dry season of the past years. However, no adult scolds him.
After all, anyone who thinks of the fifty tanks of water in the cave will think that it''s just a trifle to use such a little water.
With those 50 tanks of water, even if the tribe does not go to get water, it will be enough to drink in this dry season.
The chief and ye Xi stood at the entrance of the mountain and saw the scene.
The chief''s eyes flashed a gratifying color and sighed to Ye Xi: "thanks to your method, no one should die of thirst in the dry season this year."
Ye Xi: "I also want to thank cangpan and Tu for getting water from each trip."
The soldiers carried buckets back and forth between the lake and the tribe for ten days in a row, and then filled up all the 50 water tanks in the tribe.
"And uncle Yong, who helped me hunt for Spinosaurus, the craftsmen who made the water tanks all night, and the soldiers who searched for stone in stone tanks all over the place. With them, the tribe can not be short of water now."
Chief ha ha laughs: "yes, all have credit, all have credit, but your credit is biggest, this cannot deny."
Thinking of what, the chief sighed: "it''s a pity that the ferocious animal meat promised to you has not been cashed, and the hunting team has not found the whereabouts of the fierce beast."
Wu te Di talked to the chief about rewarding Ye Xi''s fierce animal meat, and told him to let the hunting team pay more attention to the tracks of the fierce animals. Unfortunately, more than half a month later, the traces of fierce animals still did not appear.
Ye Xixin was a little disappointed, but he comforted the chief: "it doesn''t matter. It''s no way. I''m not in a hurry."
At this time, a tribal soldier with gray mud and painted face came quickly from the outside.
Ye Xi recognized that this was the grey beak of a soldier stationed at the edge of the tribe.
Grey beak saluted the chief and said quickly, "chief! There are four people from the Yellow bottom tribe outside, asking to enter the tribe to trade food. "
Come to Huangbo tribe?
The chief nodded, indicating that he knew: "you tell them I''ll be right there.".
Grey beak took orders and ran out in a hurry.
"Huangbo tribe, what are they doing here?" Ye Xi asked the chief.
"Must have come to trade salt for something."
Knowing that there was someone waiting for him outside the tribe, the chief was not in a hurry. He told the tribesmen to put away all the water bags filled with water and clean up the traces of water on the ground.
After the tribe cleaned up the traces that could not be seen, the chief said to Ye Xi, "I''ll go there." Go to the tribal outpost.
At the Tushan sentry.
They were standing at the sentry.
These men are big and powerful. They are dressed in cool snake skin, and their weapons are all snow-white bone tools. Their edges are obviously polished and cold in the sun.
What''s more, one of them was riding on a huge brown bear, which was obedient and obedient.
They are the people sent by the Huangbo tribe in this transaction.
The chief was not affected by their luxurious lineup. With a bright smile on his face, he welcomed them: "how can you come to Tushan tribe today? Welcome! Qi Shang, I haven''t encountered any danger along the way
The bear saw a powerful man approaching and gave him a threatening low growl.
Qi Shang patted the giant bear''s head, turned over and jumped down, saluted and returned with a smile.
"Naturally, there is no danger. More Tushan chieftain is concerned."
Qishang is the leader of the Yellow bottom tribe who came to Tushan tribe this time, and is also one of the soldiers who are usually responsible for trading in the Huangbo tribe.
The chief asked tentatively, "are you here this time?"
Qi Shang smile: "is to exchange things with salt."
The chief put down his heart and said, "well, we welcome you. Please come in."
The three yellow bottom tribesmen behind qishang seemed to be standing still as if they had not heard.
Waiting for the habitat to turn over and step on the giant bear, light to the three command way: "let''s go." The three men followed the bear to the Tushan tribe.Sitting on a big stake, ye Xi suddenly saw a man riding a huge brown bear into the tribe.
What a big bear! Ye Xi was surprised that such a big bear was willing to be a human mount!
Looking at the warrior riding on the bear, there are two flame patterns in the center of the totem pattern on the left chest.
He''s a second class fighter!
All the people of Tushan tribe surrounded by people from outside.
A female tribesman came to them with four purple fruits.
The chief pointed to the purple diamond fruit in her hand and said to Qi Shang: "Qi Shang leader, this is the purple diamond fruit just picked in the tribe two days ago. You have come from afar and have a hard time. Eat some first."
The female tribesman was dusty, and the palm of her hand holding the purple fruit was also covered with black dirt.
Qi Shang slightly frowned, the light of disgust in his eyes flashed by, and did not receive the purple diamond fruit.
He did not speak, and the three yellow bottom tribesmen did not move.
Let the woman have been holding out her hands, holding four purple fruit.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
The chief''s face was slightly heavy at first, but then he laughed: "ha ha ha, since several distinguished guests are not satisfied with the purple fruit, then put it away."
Seeing this scene, ye Xi laughed in his heart.
Our chief is good enough.
Purple fruit is really very difficult to find. It''s a gift to a distinguished guest.
But this woman is too dirty. At present, the tribe does not lack water for bathing.
It seems that the chief was prepared for the arrival of these trade envoys. In order not to reveal that the tribe is rich in water, it has been arranged for a long time.
At the same time, ye Xi also saw that although the four men looked polite, since they entered the field of Tushan, they all looked at TU Shan people with a kind of indistinct arrogance.
However, people do have the confidence to look down on the Tushan tribe. Just looking at the Tushan people wearing straw skirts, while others in the Huangbo tribe are wrapped in cool and comfortable snake skin, people have reason to be proud.
If you look at the bone ornaments on other people''s bodies, which are so exquisite, while the ones worn by Tu Shan soldiers are too rough, it really seems that Tu Shan is very poor.
The other side was obviously stronger than Tu Shan, and the chief''s arrangement was smart and prudent enough to make ye Xi drink in his heart.
Just listen to the chief continue to say: "a few, how much salt did you bring this time, what do you want to exchange?"
Qi Shang: "nine bears, untie the bag and let them have a look."
The soldier named jiuxiong put down the leather bag he had been carrying on his back, put it on the ground and untied it.
It''s full of salt.
The salt looks about three jin, and its quality is very poor. The salt is yellowish in white and mixed with many soil particles.
"A lot of salt, how long can I eat it!"
"yes, but it seems that the quality is inferior to that brought by them last year."
Some Tushan tribesmen are whispering around.
Qi Shang said to the chief: "these salt, for 1000 Jin of fresh meat."
Ye Xi''s eyelids jump, the three jin of salt will be replaced by 1000 kg of meat, why not grab it? He also pointed out fresh meat. That''s it.
The chief frowned: "the quality of this year''s salt is much worse than that of last year. There are too many earth lumps in it."
Qi Shang Oh a way: "these soil particles don''t matter, just let the female slaves of your tribe sort it out."
Ye Xi picked his eyebrows. Since he knew that the clay grains could be sorted by female slaves, why didn''t he sort them out when he was in the Huangbo tribe, instead, he took the salt mixed with so many clay particles to trade directly.
Looking at the four men''s calm and calm appearance, as if determined that the deal will not be yellow, ye Xi thought. Is salt monopolized by Huangbo tribe? That''s why they are so fearless?
The chief was silent for a moment: "a thousand catties are too much. It''s impossible to change so many."
Qi Shang had a flash in his eyes and said with a smile, "for the sake of our tribe''s frequent trading, I can take a step back. How about 900 Jin?"
Ye Xi frowned at the bottom of his heart. This picture of the Yellow bottom tribe is sure to be exchanged with Tu Shan.
"No, if you pick out the soil particles in the salt, the salt will be reduced. There are still too many 900 Jin."
The smile on Qi Shang''s face gradually converged, and he kept staring at the chief.
The two sides confront each other.
For a long time, Qi Shang''s voice turned to indifference: "since chief Tushan is not willing to exchange, so goodbye."
After that, jiuxiong put away the salt bag and went to the giant bear first.
Tu Shan people are a little flustered. They just leave like this? What about the salt? It''s only changed once a year. They can''t do without salt.
The chief never moved.
Qishang has already mounted the giant bear, carrying other yellow bottom tribesmen straight out, it seems that he has no nostalgia.
"Wait!" Cried the chief.
Qi still seems to have not heard, so he has to go back.
"Only nine hundred catties." Cried the chief helplessly.Qi Shang then took a picture of the giant bear, let it stop, and then jumped down from the giant bear, with a smile on his face: "this is the smart man''s choice."
