The exchange conference starts on the day after tomorrow, and it will take a day to get there. It can be said that Song Xuan came at the right time this time. If he walked over, he would probably have to barely catch up.
Since it was the host tribe this time, the Blackwater Tribe had to go there in advance to make arrangements. The two sides talked about old times and arranged the next trip. The afternoon passed like this.
Shuiyun was originally going to use their boat to help Teng She pull the things over, but when he saw Teng She's canoe, he stopped mentioning it. After all, Teng She's boat was not smaller than them, and the sharp ends looked still the same. It feels a little bit oppressive.
The venue of the conference is still downstream of the Blackwater Tribe. The trading conference has been going on in this area for decades, and there are several locations. Each location is responsible for several nearby tribes, and everyone takes turns.
After driving in the river for most of the day, it was not until the sun was about to set that they arrived at the foot of a small mountain range. As the Tengshe tribe went downstream, it was mainly plains, and there were not many low hills like this. , it is very conspicuous in this area.
"Angel! Stop ahead!"
Before they arrived, Shuiyun called Song Xuan to approach the shore. In a river bend, there were many piles standing on the shore. Just pull the boat over and hang the cable directly.
"No one has come yet, it seems we have to wait until tomorrow..."
In the small boat harbor, there are only two boats, Black Water and Soaring Snake.
Song Xuan also learned from the conversation with Shui Yun that most of the tribes in this area communicated by boat, especially when carrying goods. It was much easier to carry goods by boat than by manpower.
In order to ensure safety, the place everyone chose has to go further in after docking.
There is a row of caves not far from the foot of the mountain, and part of the cave entrance is blocked by branches and stones.
"Angel, you can also clean up a cave here. It will be convenient to exchange in the future!"
But it was definitely too late to pack up now. I put most of the goods into the cave belonging to the Blackwater Tribe, leaving one person to guard them. I took a few samples with me and walked until dark, finally reaching the end of the trip.
The valley between the two hills is flat and there are not many plants in it.
There are many simple sheds on both sides, but because they have not been maintained for a long time, they look a bit dilapidated. Fortunately, they are all made of relatively thick wood, which is relatively strong.
After pulling a branch to clean it, lighting the bonfire, I cooked something and started to rest.
The next morning.
After getting up today, Song Xuan discovered that the valley was not big. It was too dark yesterday to see clearly. After the flat land about fifty or sixty meters wide, the slopes on both sides gradually became higher.
The people of the Blackwater Tribe have already begun to work, cleaning up the debris in the valley. No one has lived in it for a long time, and there are many small trees growing in it, some of which even extend directly to the middle of the valley. These need to be cleared away.
When everyone was almost busy with their work, someone standing high at the mouth of the valley shouted:
"Chief, someone is here, it seems they are from the Bear Tribe."
"Angel, let's go and see together!"
As soon as everyone reached the entrance of the valley, they saw a black and strong primitive man walking towards the valley with more than a dozen people. Shuiyun greeted him excitedly when he saw it:
"Hahaha, Xiongshan...long time no see"
"Leader Shuiyun, long time no see!"
Obviously Shuiyun's enthusiasm is quite explosive among primitive people, and the sturdy man in front of him can't stand it, but it can still be seen that the relationship between everyone is pretty good, at least on the surface.
Seeing Song Xuan and others in slightly different attires beside Shui Yun, Xiong Shan asked:
"Shuiyun, what is this?"
"Haha, this is the envoy of the Soaring Snake Tribe. This is his first time participating in the exchange meeting!" Shuiyun introduced to Xiong Shan enthusiastically.
"The Soaring Snake Tribe?"
"Yes, I just moved here last year..."
"Sensi? What does this mean?"
Shuiyun slapped his head and then remembered that this way of speaking was only used by the Soaring Snake tribe, and other tribes still couldn't understand it, so he explained a little bit.
"Sensi,￥##￥叽呱叽呱...&%..."
Although the Tengshe Tribe has completely replaced the original language with Mandarin, they still have to use the familiar method to communicate. Fortunately, Song Xuan can now understand roughly. With Shi Yong helping to translate, communication is not a problem. Big problem.
"叽呱叽呱(Hello, hello)"
After saying hello, the two parties quickly became familiar with each other. They were both here to participate in the exchange meeting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The Bear Tribe is not far from here. It is also a small tribe. There are seventy or eighty people in the tribe. Since there are slightly more men, the fighting power is quite strong. It can also be seen from the use of bears as totems. Each of them is very strong. Advocate strength.
While everyone was talking, many tribesmen rushed over one after another. Song Xuan also followed Shuiyun out to get to know each other. After all, when meeting for the first time, they had to at least be familiar with each other.
All the tribes seemed a little curious about the newly joined Soaring Snake tribe. Suddenly, a relatively small tribe suddenly appeared. As for the origin of Soaring Snake, every one of them tried their best to make insinuations and ask questions.
But this is not a secret. Whenever someone asks, Song Xuan will ask Shi Yong to briefly explain it to them. Only after this talk does he know that there are connections between this area and many tribes.
Several tribes, like Soaring Snake Blackwater, were bullied by the Black Feather Tribe and had to move south to develop. As the only overlord in the north, the Black Feather Tribe became stronger by sucking the blood of the surrounding tribes. .
So everyone soon had a common language, but some tribes had been here for hundreds of years, and their previous grudges were not that deep. It was only through word of mouth passed down by the elders of the tribe that there was such a large tribe in the north, and they should not be easily provoked.
Everyone is happy that Teng She can still have so many people. After all, Teng She's previous tribe had only a dozen or so people left when it finally came over. After a few years, it was on the verge of extinction. With.
Shi Yong and others also knew this tribe. After hearing the name, they said:
"I thought the Sheep Tribe was gone, but it turned out that they ran here with the remaining people... What a pity, their previous position was really so good!"
The Sheep Tribe used to be a small tribe under Wuyu. Due to its relatively good geographical location, rich products, and being in a basin surrounded by mountains, there was no need to worry about safety.
But they were still alive, but the Wuyu tribe was eyeing the place where they lived. The powerful Wuyu directly sent people to occupy the magpie nest and snatched the place. However, it was said to the outside world that the Sheep tribe took the initiative to join Wuyu, but Everyone understands this tacitly, but who knows that there are still some people who are lucky enough to survive here.
