Looking at Shi Duo who was still a little unhappy next to him, Song Xuan touched her head and said:
"Don't think too much, the envoy will find a way..."
"God's envoy~!"
Seeing that Song Xuan could see what she was thinking, Shi Duo burst into tears and shouted with a cry.
Everyone saw Shi Duo's situation, but it was something everyone needed to experience, and there was nothing they could say other than comfort.
She had heard so many words these days that she was trying to accept them, and she suddenly got Song Xuan's promise. Shi Duo's mood suddenly became unbearable, and she hugged her knees and started crying.
…
This time, you don’t go straight down the river like before. After entering the main stream, you need to go upstream. Fortunately, Shi Mao is relatively familiar with the surrounding situation and knows the directions of each tribe. Several are used as exchange places. He also knew the specific location under Shuiyun's guidance.
Shuiyun and the others were too sensitive, so Song Xuan didn't bring anyone over to prevent other tribes from recognizing them all at once.
Just when everyone entered the tributary, they saw two canoes approaching.
From the looks of it, he must have come here to participate in the exchange meeting, but he couldn't see clearly who it was from such a long distance, so he wasn't in a hurry anyway, so he simply waited for a while.
Apparently, the people on the two boats also saw Song Xuan waiting for them there, and their speed increased obviously. It didn't take long for the people to see clearly. A person on the bow of the boat was waving his hands vigorously.
The leader of the Zhu tribe, Zhu Shui, has a good relationship with Song Xuan. When he exchanged things from Teng She, he even used prisoners to top up the price. However, life has become better in the past two years, at least there is no more selling. population.
It seems that he must have been recuperating and recuperating.
"Angel of God!"
Seeing how enthusiastic Zanshui was, Song Xuan also waved his hand and docked the boat to the shore.
Not long after, Zanshui and his men caught up.
"Angel, you have just set off, let's go together~"
"Okay, let's go~"
If Yang Yang and the others hadn't joined in recently, Song Xuan might not have been able to understand the original language at all. Although they were separated by a distance, the two of them still greeted each other very warmly.
Compared with Teng She, there are fewer people in the Zhu tribe. There are only eight people in the two boats. It seems that the two boys are participating in the blind date this time.
Song Xuan still has a good impression of the Zhu tribe. Compared with recruiting a son-in-law from a large tribe, it is obviously easier for someone from such a small tribe to feel at ease.
After all, this is the first time that this situation has occurred. Even if Song Xuan is confident that he can do it, it is hard to say whether the people he recruits can bring their hearts here in a short time, and the big tribes may be more concerned about it, no. Will definitely agree.
However, Song Xuan still brought back his previous thinking, and just mentioned it to Shi Duo. The specific decision was still up to her own choice.
However, Song Xuan seemed to think that he didn't need to say more. During the break, two people from the Zhu tribe came over to establish a relationship with Shi Duo. There were not many people in the two tribes, so they got together. But you still have to make your own food and drink.
The two of them obviously intend to get close to Shi Duo. Whether they can conquer it or not depends on their own ability.
Shi Duo has only been a little weak due to excessive worries recently, but his character is still very strong, especially since Teng She is living a pretty good life now. It is easy for people in the tribe to have a sense of superiority, which is especially true among immature children. It's even more obvious. Although Song Xuan has always been suppressed, it is inevitable that there will still be some.
The atmosphere between the two tribes was quite good. Song Xuan and Zhen Shui were both happy to see the two tribes getting together as a couple. Naturally, Zhen Shui also had his own Xiao Jiujiu.
Song Xuan was also famous for his generosity among the surrounding tribes. He would waive some small changes if possible in exchange, and would often sell half for half as free. If he could succeed in a blind date with Teng She, he would obviously have to pay less. , for the Zhu tribe with average strength, it is natural to save as much as possible.
It wasn't too late to set off this time, so there was no need to be too anxious along the way, and with Yan Shui and the others leading the way, Song Xuan didn't have to worry about going to the wrong place.
This was the first time for the Tengshe tribe to attend the exchange meeting alone, so Song Xuan stayed an extra day to avoid delays due to unfamiliarity on the road.
Now it seems that time has been saved on this day, and it will naturally be much more leisurely as we paddle slowly.
All exchange locations are basically near rivers, so the transportation is relatively convenient. Even though the speed has slowed down a lot, on the afternoon before the exchange, Yan Shui still took Song Xuan, stopped the boat and docked, and then went straight to A place to trade.
"Haha, angel, you guys came very early!"
Xiong Shan was still as enthusiastic as ever. He gave Song Xuan a big hug as soon as he came up. He was a little curious when he saw Ji Shui next to him:
"Zhishui, why are you here together..."
Although he arrived a little early, the local Xiong tribe had already packed up. After briefly looking at the people of the two tribes, Xiong Shan led Song Xuan and his party towards the valley.
"Angel, I heard that the Blackwater Tribe has disappeared. Do you know what's going on?"
Song Xuan could only shake his head, saying that he didn't know.
Yan Shui also asked the same question on the road, and Song Xuan also concealed it.
It can be said that these tribes were careless. There were four in the upper reaches of the Blackwater Tribe, but at the end of last autumn, they did not realize that the Blackwater Tribe no longer existed.
But this is understandable. After all, last year's event was hosted by Shui Yun and he showed up. Naturally, others wouldn't have too many suspicions. Plus, it was hundreds of miles along the way. Unless you paid careful attention, you would have missed it in the blink of an eye.
This year the Bear Tribe specially sent people to notify each tribe, and naturally they noticed it immediately.
"There is not even a trace of the original place. Our people thought they went to the wrong place..."
There was something wrong in his heart, and Song Xuan didn't dare to say anything more. It would be bad if the secret was revealed.
"It was probably washed away by the water. Didn't some tribes have experienced this before?"
Although the Zhu tribe is average in strength, it is actually a relatively old tribe and has a relatively clear understanding of the history of the surrounding tribes.
Moreover, Yan Shui also inspected the original site of the Blackwater tribe. There was no trace of survival on it, and most of the place was covered with silt. It was obviously a scene after the flood.
Xiong Shan agrees with Zhishui's analysis. Except for natural disasters, it is difficult for man-made disasters to leave no trace.
Everyone could only express regret for this. After all, Shuiyun was quite popular and got along well with everyone. But now he suddenly disappeared, making everyone reluctant to part with him.
"Yang Yang, I heard that you have joined the Soaring Snake Tribe?"
Xiong Shan didn't react at first, thinking that Yang Yang had come with him, but then he suddenly thought that his own tribe said that the Yang tribe had also been merged into the Teng Snake.
"Well, we are Soaring Snake people now!"
"That's good. If you go to God's Envoy, you don't have to worry about food!"
Although Xiong Shan's words meant to praise Song Xuan, they were also true. Although Yang Yang and others didn't do much work after they arrived, they never treated them badly with food.
Zhu Shui on the side widened his eyes:
"(⊙ｏ⊙)"
He was obviously very surprised by this incident. He did not ask Yang Yang about this incident along the way. He just thought that the Yang tribe had just bumped into each other like them.
After a brief surprise, Yan Shui patted Yang Yang on the shoulder with relief. He was quite happy for Yang Yang and the others to be able to join the Teng She tribe.
At least it is very difficult to survive with the power of the Sheep Tribe. Although everyone has not been together for a long time, it is also a bit regretful to see a tribe disappear.
After all, it is close to the upper reaches of the river. Although it is close to the water source, the surrounding terrain is much more undulating, and the valley is not as spacious as before, but there is still no problem in accommodating the exchange of surrounding tribes.
There is no specific location here. It's first come, first served. The tribe that comes first can rest wherever they want.
After chatting for a while and looking at the time, Xiong Shan took care of his tribe and started cooking. Song Xuan didn't want to take advantage of others, so he asked Shi Hua to bring some food.
There were quite a few things to do this time, so in addition to pottery and salt, Song Xuan also brought half a boatload of extra food, all of which were used for exchange.
After bringing so much food, there was no need to save three melons and two dates, and there were a lot of people coming from Teng She, even more than the host Xiong tribe.
Although he didn't know Teng She's intention of having so many people come, Xiong Shan still seemed very welcoming as the visitors were guests.
As evening approached, the Caomuluo and Mu tribes also came over. Both tribes only had more than forty people, and they were relatively weak among the surrounding tribes.
However, the two tribes are relatively deeper into the mountains and forests, so they rarely use boats to travel, and basically rely on walking. The location of this event was not too far away from each other. According to the leader of the Grass Tribe, the two tribes only walked over in three or four days.
The lifestyle of these two tribes is similar to that of the Tengshes in the past. They mainly rely on hunting in the mountains to make a living and do not involve fishing.
The two tribes usually have an average presence, and most of the time they don't have much demand. They just exchange food for some salt. Even the pottery from Teng She's side is relatively small. The two tribes combined only exchanged three. A dozen bowls.
However, this blind date conference brought several people, five people from each tribe. It seems that the development has been good in recent years. Five people were brought in at once, which is quite a lot in this area.
Although not all the people had come yet, several tribes still allowed these men and women of school age to meet each other, and they were also allowed to eat alone when eating.
The number of people who come every year is not fixed, and it is easy to create an imbalance between men and women.
Since several tribes came here relatively early, they must have wanted to successfully complete this blind date meeting. If they were singled out this time, it would be two years before the official blind date took place.
Although you can also take the initiative to contact other tribes individually, it will be a bit more troublesome after all, and the price you pay will naturally be much higher.
