Lin Yan hurriedly put down the pen in her hand. It was noon outside and when the sun was at its strongest, she was copying books in the cabin.
Upon hearing Huang Ying's cry, she couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly ran to the bow of the ship.
Looking in the direction Huang Ying pointed, she saw a densely packed house. It was too far away to see clearly, but it was indeed a house.
Seeing that there must be a lot of people in the situation, Yun Qing ordered the boat to slow down and everyone should eat and drink first to get ready.
In terms of numbers, they have no advantage at all.
The boat slowly docked at the shore. Yun Qing sent five people to investigate the situation first. Shui Sheng was among them, and it was he who insisted on going.
Considering Shui Sheng's unique language talent, Yun Qing finally agreed to let him go.
After the five people set off, every minute the people on the boat waited was torture, not knowing what they would encounter.
Huang Ying stood beside Lin Yan and said softly: "Shui Sheng and the others will definitely come back safely."
Lin Yan didn't respond. In fact, she didn't know what to do. It is unknown what kind of situation Shuisheng and the others will encounter. From a distance, looking at such a large house, there must be many people living there.
Judging from the house they live in, their life is not too backward, at least it is away from the savage life.
They waited for more than two hours. Just when everyone was anxious and ready to send people to investigate again, Shuisheng and the others came back.
Not only five people, but also ten strangers were brought, all of them were tall and strong, holding thick sticks.
What made Lin Yan's eyes light up was that the cloth wrapped around the waists of these ten people was not fur or leaves.
Lin Yan followed Yun Qing off the boat and looked at the stranger opposite.
Shuisheng raised his voice and said: "Captain Yun Qing, this is the Wilderness Tribe. We were discovered as soon as we entered. These ten people are the warriors of the Wilderness Tribe. This is Yuan Qing, their leader."
Yuan Qing looked at Yun Qing and others, and then at the three ships behind them, with surprise and envy flashing in his eyes.
Yun Qing nodded to Yuan Qing and others as a sign of goodwill, but had no intention of inviting them on board. She said, "We are from Sun City and passed by here with no ill intentions."
Shuisheng struggled to explain to Yuan Qing and the others. He spoke very slowly, jumping out word by word. Sometimes he would stop for a while before continuing, while making gestures.
It was the first time I came into contact with the language of the wilderness tribe. Even if Shui Sheng was extremely talented, it still needed a process. It was not easy to be able to communicate in such a short period of time.
Yuan Qing and the others also had a hard time listening, and struggled to communicate with Shuisheng.
Shuisheng looked at Yun Qing and said, "They want to go on the boat to have a look."
Yun Qing did not nod, but asked: "What was the attitude of the people from the Wilderness Tribe when they first discovered you?"
"I was surprised and surprised. They were on guard, but they didn't take action. When they followed us, they didn't show any malice."
Yun Qing thought for a while and said: "Our purpose is to go to the wilderness tribe and have a look. You can talk to them and see what they think."
Shuisheng turned around and communicated with Yuan Qing for a few minutes, then turned back and said, "They agreed to let us in, but they insisted on getting on the boat."
Yun Qing glanced at Lin Yan and asked her what she thought.
Lin Yan said: "Let them get on. The boat is right there. You can't tell anything at a glance. Have you seen their clothes? They are not linen. We must go to the wilderness tribe to have a look."
After hearing this, the others looked at the clothes of Yuan Qingshi, and realized that they were very similar to linen, but the color was hard to describe. It looks like white, but not pure white, a little yellowish.
Huang Ying asked directly: "Lin Yan, how did you tell that it wasn't linen?"
"If you look closely with your mental power, you can see that except for the different color, it is finer than linen and must be softer to the touch."
Lin Yan felt that the cloth Yuan Qing and the others were wearing should be cotton, which was more comfortable to wear than linen.
While Lin Yan and others were discussing, Shui Sheng and Yuan Qing agreed and agreed to get on the boat.
Lin Yan did not follow up and stayed on the shore. She said: "We will go to the wilderness tribe later and we must look carefully. Judging from the houses of the wilderness tribe, their living standards should be similar to ours. There must be some that we don't have." Something worth learning from.”
Shi Zhi's eyes were bright, and they all knew Lin Yan's purpose.
Huang Ying smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will all pay attention. We will not miss any place."
Half an hour later, the original Qingshi people looked at all three ships. They looked very excited, as if they had discovered a big treasure.
Yun Qing left half of the people on the boat, and the rest followed them to the wilderness tribe.
Lin Yan's children followed him. They were not yet adults. When Yuan Qing saw them, his eyes became less alert.
Yun Qing saw everything.
After walking for more than ten minutes, I saw the houses of the wilderness tribes. They were very low, about two meters high. They were made of stone walls and wood, and the roofs were covered with thatch. The door is made of several pieces of wood, with gaps showing through.
The houses were all very low and crude, and looked like they could collapse at any time. The surrounding area is overgrown with weeds and there are no traces of care. The scattered houses were built haphazardly without any rules.
As soon as they saw Lin Yan and the others, everyone in the room ran out and chattered around them.
Both adults and children looked strangely surprised. They had never seen outsiders come to the tribe, especially the new group of people who were obviously dressed differently.
Lin Yan and others were also surprised to see the aborigines of the wilderness tribe. They were all wrapped in cloth, with most of their dark skin exposed and their brown hair scattered.
Except for their clothes and hair, they looked similar to the people in Sun City.
Lin Yan looked at them with a smile on his face, making himself look friendly and easy to get along with.
With Yuan Qing leading the way, they passed through many low shabby houses and arrived in the central area, in front of a house that looked relatively clean.
On a piece of grass that had been tended, someone was already waiting. They were the leader of the wilderness tribe and four elders, two men and three women.
The eldest old lady is Yuan Yu, the leader. She has gray hair and a stooped body, and looks like she will die soon.
Yuan Qing and the others stepped forward and spoke to the five of them for a few minutes. While talking, they looked at Yun Qing and the others.
During the whole process, Lin Yan didn't understand a word. She asked, "Shui Sheng, what are they talking about?"
"It seems to be talking about us and the ship. It was said too fast and I couldn't understand it." Shui Sheng listened to their conversation intently and could only make out some of the words.
"Tell them if you can have someone take us around the wilderness tribe."
There was no use in staying because he didn't understand the language. Lin Yan wanted to walk around casually.
Shuisheng stepped forward and spoke slowly for a long time before getting Yuan Yu's nod.
Half an hour later, Yuan Qing took them around the tribe. Lin Yan and the others opened their eyes wide and looked at every place.
