After the people from Blackwater got off the boat, the space was finally not so cramped. They evened out the things on the four canoes. After all, the next road would be more difficult.
Especially when we reached the river where Soaring Snake was, the water flow suddenly became much faster, making paddling very difficult.
Fortunately, four days later, the group of people finally returned to the tribe safely. The speed was about the same as walking, but the group of people brought a lot of goods, and every boat was full.
If the same goods were to be hauled by people, the number of people would probably have to be doubled.
"The angel, the angel is back!"
The fleet was discovered as soon as it entered a place where Soaring Snake could see it. Soon, a large group of people came rushing over from the tribe, all waiting for the boat to dock by the river.
There are already two newly made canoes parked in Teng She's small harbor. It seems that Shi Ban and the others have been busy these days, and one of them is even larger than the existing one.
Seeing so many ships approaching at once, if Song Xuan hadn't been standing at the front, everyone would have thought that another tribe was attacking them again.
"Angel, you are finally back!"
As soon as Song Xuan jumped ashore, Shi Meng gave him a big hug, which made Song Xuan a little uncomfortable.
But the most important thing at this time is to unload the things. The boat port is originally a boat with a pile. There are only three canoes in the tribe, so naturally there are only three piles to tie the cables.
"Shitou, please quickly bring someone to drive in a few more stakes!"
"Everybody move everything down"
After hearing Song Xuan's words, Shi Meng asked in disbelief:
"Angel, these are all ours?"
Song Xuan nodded. Seeing that Shi Meng's state was not quite right, he didn't have the nerve to continue provoking him. If he told him that this was only part of it, Shi Meng would probably go crazy with joy.
"Angel, what about the two ends at the back?"
"Yeah", ignoring the shocked Shi Meng, Song Xuan also helped deliver the goods.
The Soaring Snake Tribe had a large number of people, so they worked quickly. As soon as the boat was tied up, half of the cargo on it was missing. When Ushikawa pulled the cattle down, even though he had just seen these two behemoths from a distance, When he actually walked in front of him, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
Although beasts weighing over a thousand kilograms are not uncommon near Soaring Snakes, and hunting teams have even brought back a few, well-behaved ones like this are very rare. Even sheep that have been raised in the tribe for a long time are not so obedient.
"Angel, where can I put this..."
Being stared at by hundreds of people at once, Ushikawa felt a little embarrassed and asked while holding the rope.
Song Xuan pointed at Shi Yan and said:
"Let him take you there!"
However, Teng She's sheepfold cannot accommodate them, so they can only tie them outside for the time being, and then build an exclusive cowshed for them as soon as possible.
After returning to the tribe and taking a sip of hot water, Song Xuan relaxed and took a short rest. This time he made arrangements for the rest.
After all, I borrowed three boats from the Black Water and Niu Tribes, and I still have to return them to them as soon as possible. I also have to send the promised pottery, and there are still some things that I haven’t received yet.
As for manpower, Song Xuan still wanted Shi Yong to take the lead. After all, after this exchange, he would be more familiar with the leaders of the surrounding tribes. In addition, he also asked him to bring a more capable person from the hunting team as his deputy. This person's name is Shi Mao, and he is considered to be better at mathematics in the hunting team.
Although the members of the hunting team have also learned Mandarin and can now communicate skillfully, few of them have seriously studied mathematics. Whenever Song Xuan lectures the children, each of these people will run faster than the other. , found an excuse and disappeared.
Only Shi Mao was listening attentively. Although he didn't learn much, he still had no problem adding, subtracting and subtracting. Without such a person following him, Song Xuan was worried that Shi Yong would lose his pants.
This trip was still very tiring, especially in the past few days when we came back, there was almost no stopping for paddling and boating, so after Song Xuan made arrangements, he asked them to rest first. It was just afternoon, so they could still have a good time. Get some sleep.
The rowing people also acted as veterans to guide the other newcomers. There were six people in each canoe, which meant that eleven more people had to be added. Just when Song Xuan had a headache for manpower, Shi Meng quietly came up. :
"God's envoy, these people have performed well, you can let them follow!"
This is of course the captives of Wu Yu. Having captives can reduce the pressure on Teng She. As for the few people exchanged by the Zhu tribe, Song Xuan does not want them to go out for the time being. He still has to get familiar with the tribe first, at least. Only when you have a certain sense of belonging can you feel comfortable letting them go out.
Speaking of prisoners, Song Xuan thought of Gong Yi and the others, and asked Shi Meng:
"How are the bows and arrows doing now?"
This was something Song Xuan repeatedly told him to worry about before he left, so Shi Meng was also very familiar with the progress:
"I have made more than a dozen bows, but I only have two or three bow strings. I am still making them now!"
Although the progress is a bit slow, there is nothing we can do about it. Song Xuan took away a group of people, and the hunting team had to stay in the tribe to watch over the captives. Even if they occasionally took them for hunting, they did not dare to go too far, so The harvest is very limited.
However, bow strings have relatively high requirements for the size of animals. Small ones are not enough. Song Xuan will be very satisfied after two or three days. After the batch of pottery is delivered, the tribe should be able to return to normal operations. I believe that by then At that time, the output will increase quickly.
Then Song Xuan asked about the other captives in the tribe. Most of them were doing well. Even if they were a little cautious occasionally, they were quickly corrected.
The Black Feather Tribe is not all members of its own tribe, many of them are slowly joined by other tribes, so although there is a sense of belonging, it is not very strong. These people integrate relatively quickly, and people like Wu Lin are a counterexample. , although he behaved quite honestly afterwards, he always gave people a feeling of being out of place.
Song Xuan doesn't care about this. It's just an individual. If it doesn't work, he can use it to exchange things with other tribes later. Song Xuan will not leave a time bomb in the tribe if he is not familiar with it.
Speaking of prisoners, Shi Meng suddenly remembered something:
"God's envoy, has the Black Feather Tribe sent someone here?"
Song Xuan asked in surprise:
"The Black Feather Tribe? What are they doing here?"
Shi Meng replied:
"Said he wanted to discuss the matter of the prisoners."
"What about them?"
"I was discovered by Shi Lin when I came here, and they are still there now. They didn't let them come here!"
It seems that someone escaped in the end, otherwise they would not know that Teng She had captured the prisoners. Song Xuan wanted to see what they wanted to exchange for these prisoners. Song Xuan would not let go easily, especially Putting them back also helped them grow in power.
