MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 31

What I took out this time were two loads of pottery and a small basket of dried meat.

None of these pottery has been fired in an earthen kiln, and the rough embryos were directly thrown into the fire to be fired. The quality of the fired pottery is also uneven, and some even have cracked patterns to varying degrees.

If there is no accident, some tribes will already know how to make pottery like this, and it will not easily attract the attention of others.

As for the dried meat, thanks to these traps, the tribe recovered more and more meat every day, and there was already a slight surplus, which could be exchanged.

There are also several types of jerky, and the ones that are taken out are replaced with only a little salt or even no salt, so as not to cause others to be greedy and cause disasters.

If you eat it yourself, you can add a little more salt, which is easier to store and tastes better.

These jerky are cooked and then taken out to dry in the sun. They are fragrant and chewy. They are high-quality dry food and snacks, and they are sure to sell well.

Pottery takes up a lot of space, and the weight of two loads of pottery should be within the burden of several people.

Yan and Zhuang carried pottery, while Hua and Sangyu were in charge of drying the meat, and also brought some packets of salt for later use.

Yu was young, and her main role was to find paths and collect information. She carried a small bamboo tube filled with water and walked lightly in front.

Before setting off, Sangyu asked Siya to carry the children down the mountain and let them live in the bamboo house that had been built so that no outsiders would come and unknowingly invade them.

He also asked Gao to take people to block the entrance under the waterfall on the east side from the inside, and not to carry salt during this period.

Still the same as before, patrolling the traps to find prey in the morning, going to the land to open up wasteland, firing pottery, each doing their own work, and going to the west to repair the city wall in the afternoon, working during the day and resting at night.

After repeatedly reminding him of the things to pay attention to, he took Zhuang Yu and his party to the market.

First go to the direction of the old tribe, sleep in the old place for one night, eat the prey caught in the trap, pickle the rest with salt, wrap them in big leaves, tie them up, and put them in the cave Keep it, and take it back when you come back and pass by.

It was not until the morning of the second day that several people continued to set off to the west.

"Boss, I think I have a lot of strength now, much stronger than before."

Zhuang carried the pottery with ease.

Hua and Yan, who followed closely behind, also echoed: "I also feel much stronger. I used to work for a day to survive, but I didn't have much strength after eating. Now I can go out to dig a hole after eating. "

Of course Sang Yu knew what was going on, it was all because of the effects of the tribes starting to eat salt, so she told them the reason.

"It's not enough to eat this salt, but it's not enough to eat too much. A little bit a day is enough."

Zhuang said with a simple smile: "No wonder people from other tribes want to change the salt. Now if you let me eat something without salt, I won't even be able to eat it."

Sang Yu couldn't help but said, "It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, and it's hard to go from extravagant to frugal."

Several people didn't know what the leader was talking about. But since the leader is a person sent by the gods, there will always be differences with them.

Stopping and stopping along the way, on the fourth night, they rested at the foot of a mountain and met another tribe who was also looking for a place to rest.

Sang Yu's Martin boots and jeans looked out of place in the eyes of others, but fortunately the animal skin on his upper body made him not so obtrusive, but she was handsome, which still made those men turn their heads frequently.

Yu hides behind them, like a little wolf ready to go.

There were about ten people in the other tribe, and seeing that there were only five people in Sangyu, he was a little more courageous.

The leader came over and asked if they were going to the market team, and after getting a definite answer, they invited them to set up camp together.

Sang Yu shook his head and refused.

Now alone outside, the other party does not know whether it is an enemy or a friend. And even if they are people they know, their hearts are unpredictable, and they are picking things to exchange, who can guarantee that these people will not have evil intentions and wipe them all out.

The tribe of ten people is called the Swamp Tribe, and their tribe is on the edge of the swamp, and the leader is called Ze.

Ze asked Sang Yu what their tribe wanted to trade this time, but Sang Yu didn't tell them, but instead asked them what good things they had.

Ze looked at the sturdy body, with some fear in his eyes, he shook his head and said nothing.

Sang Yu asked, "Are there any seeds?"

Hei froze for a moment, not knowing what it was.

Hua on the side explained it in the dialect of primitive people, and the other party shook his head.

Seeing that there was nothing she was interested in, Sang Yu kept silent.

Seeing this, Ze left in a self-defeating way, and settled down about a few hundred meters away from them.

It was not easy for Sang Yu to drive them away, so he extended the distance a lot, and found a higher place to live, so that he could observe the other party's movements.

Ze was a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't say anything, and arranged for people to drill wood to make fire.

Sang Yu didn't want the other party to know that she had a lighter, so she also arranged to drill wood to make fire.

Yan belongs to the handicraft team and is quite powerful in this respect. But drilling wood to make fire is not an easy task, and it took a long time to make a good fire.

After lighting the fire, he murmured to Hua, and couldn't help feeling that the leader's magic weapon was still powerful, and it burned at one point.

Ze didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't get out of the fire, so he asked someone to borrow the fire.

Sang Yu asked Hua and the others to cover up the contents of the rattan basket, so as not to be discovered by these people and become malicious.

After borrowing the fire, the people of the swamp tribe were considered peaceful and did not come to disturb them anymore.

Sang Yu then ordered everyone to take out jerky to satisfy their hunger.

The jerky is marinated with salt and ginger, boiled and dried, and you can't stop eating it once you eat it.

For the sake of safety, Sang Yu paid special attention when sleeping at night, and arranged for her and Hua to watch the night. She kept watch in the first half of the night, Hua kept watch in the second half of the night, and the other three who could fight slept to preserve their strength.

Fortunately, the people of the swamp tribe didn't know their depth, or they didn't have the heart to do it, so the night passed peacefully.

Waking up early in the morning, people from the two tribes walked towards the market one after the other.

The more you go to the market, the more and more people you see.

People were talking all kinds of things, wearing animal skin grass skirts, and it seemed that Sang Yu's attire was not so conspicuous.

The people that Sang Yu paid close attention to were different in stature, and some tribes didn't look so barbaric, with thick animal skins on their bodies, and they were not as bare-breasted as the bird tribes used to be.

Looking at the things they exchanged, I found that there are actually relatively rich tribes. The former Bird tribe was really too poor.

In particular, a tribe called the Rock, everyone is tall and burly.

However, the people in this tribe seem to be quite friendly, and they don't seem to be bullying others. Even when he saw some injustices in the market, he would take action to solve them.

Sang Yu couldn't help feeling a little bit fond of their tribe.

Of course, these superficial things cannot be completely believed.

Soon they arrived at the market, where many people had already occupied their seats, covered with a layer of animal skins, and put the things they wanted to trade on.

Sang Yu and his party also found a place to sit down, took out the big animal skins that had been prepared a long time ago and laid them out in front, and put out some pottery.

As for the jerky, cover it first.

People in the market came and went, seeing the pottery they put out, their eyes lit up, but when they got closer, they saw the cracks on it, shook their heads and walked away.

The main trading time of the market is during the one month at the turn of spring and summer, and many tribes will come to trade in this month.

Today is the third day of the opening of the market, and the good positions are occupied by those who come first, and the position of the Phoenix Tribe is slightly off.

Sang Yu didn't care about these things. Their purpose for coming this time was relatively clear, mainly to change some seeds back and open their eyes by the way.

Let Zhuang, Hua and Yan guard the stall, while he himself carried a few bamboo tubes of jerky, and took Yu to other stalls.

Salt is not easily found in the interior, so almost every tribe is short of salt.

Only a tribe called Changzu placed several pots of coarse salt in front of the booth. The salt was not refined and filtered, and it looked very rough.

But a small pot is enough to make other tribes flock to it.

Rare things are more expensive, and this long-legged tribe also raised the price very high.

A small pot of salt can be obtained in exchange for a sheep or precious animal bones.

Sang Yu looked at their jars. They were very rough and even cracked. A jar could hold two catties of salt, which was smaller than the three catties jars Sang Yu brought.

Many people lingered in front of Changzu Tribe's booth. But the high exchange price left them speechless.

Sang Yu thought to herself, if the salt mine hadn't been discovered, she might be slaughtered until she vomited blood when she came to the market this time.

Thinking of that mountain of salt now, she even had the idea that it was inevitable.

Seeing that there was nothing she wanted at this booth, Sang Yu took Yu to another booth.

There are also some relatively wealthy tribes, all kinds of animal bones are placed on the stalls, which arouses the envy of everyone.

After walking for a round, I probably learned that this market has all kinds of things, but what people want to change most is pottery and salt.

I also inquired about some news, including which tribes came to participate in the rally, including the famous Rock tribe, which is a rare gentleman tribe in this eastern continent.

Sang Yu specially goes to the more remote stalls at both ends, where there are often unexpected things.

Sure enough, there are wild fruits in front of some stalls.

Sang Yu is very interested in these things. Of course, what she is interested in is the seeds in the wild fruit. After eating, keep the seeds and plant them in new land. There will be great harvest in the future.

When I came to the leading booth, I saw a scruffy, skinny little girl with skin and bones under her clothes made of leaves.

The little girl didn't even have animal skins, and there were all kinds of wild fruits on a big leaf in front of her, some edible and some not.

There were some bullying rogues in the market. Seeing her helpless, they casually grabbed wild fruits from her stall and ate them. Maybe they ate some unpalatable ones, threw them on the ground and walked away.

The little girl lowered her head, wiped her tears with her hand, straightened her back again, picked up the things that had been thrown on the floor by other rascals and continued to set up a stall.

It's just that there are people coming and going around, and no one is interested in her wild fruits.

Finally, a woman came over and asked how to exchange them. When the little girl said that these wild fruits should be exchanged for a can of jerky, she left the things and left.

Sang Yu watched the little girl secretly from the sidelines for a long time, her heart moved slightly.

These wild fruits have shadows similar to leeks and leek seeds. Leeks are not a necessity of life, but they are very good dishes, and their growth is extremely strong. As long as it is not particularly cold, they can be planted. After one crop is cut, another crop grows. Sang Yu didn't want to miss it.

She took Yu to the booth, knelt down and carefully looked through the things in front of her, including peaches and plums.

But what surprised Sang Yu the most was that there was actually a handful of beans, about thirty or forty.

She suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, pretending to be calm and asked: "How do you exchange these?"

The little girl bit her lip, perhaps the woman was scared away by the request for a small jar of jerky just now. Now this woman who looked different from others, she didn't want to scare away, she opened her mouth with difficulty.

"Half a can of jerky."

Sang Yu looked at her dry and cracked lips, and asked, "Why are you here alone, where are your parents?"

The little girl shook her head, her eyes were a little red.

Sang Yu couldn't bear to see the tears, so she asked Yu to put down her pannier, took out a small bundle of dried meat from it, and put it in front of her, "Is this enough?"

This small bundle of jerky is as thick as a thumb and as long as ten to twenty centimeters. Cut into pieces, it is at least two large jars of jerky.

The little girl's eyes were shining, and she nodded repeatedly.

"Do you still have this bean, or something like this, I want it."

The little girl thought for a while and said, "Are you still here tomorrow? I'll go back and look for it, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

Sang Yu agreed, and then put all the wild fruits into the basket, especially the beans, and was even more careful.

The little girl took the dried meat and kowtowed to Sang Yu several times before leaving.

However, when her figure was about to disappear at the end of the market, Yu pulled Sang Yu by the corner of her clothes, pointed in the direction of the little girl, and said, "Boss, it's not good—"

The rascals just now were following behind the little girl.

Presumably, he found out about Sang Yu's dried meat.

Sang Yu's face darkened, and a hostility surged up in his heart.

"Go and call Zhuang over, let's go and have a look together."

Yu walked quickly, and soon called Zhuang to come. Seeing that Sang Yu had already caught up, the two of them hurriedly followed, for fear that something might happen to the leader.

Sang Yu thought about the appearance of that little girl. Now being followed by scum again, I feel angry and anxious, angry that I didn't think carefully, so much jerky was given to a child so boldly, it's no wonder if I don't get followed, it's the three people in front who are anxious The little girl has been outflanked.

She threw the pannier on the ground and ran after it.

One of the one-eyed rascals snatched the jerky, and the other two even pushed the little girl to the ground and even kicked her a few times.

Sang Yu scolded while running: "You guys stop—"

Those rascals turned their heads and found that it was the strange woman who had just made a big deal.

In their eyes, it was her strange attire that was to blame. But their snow-white skin still made them salivate.

Sang Yu ignored their stares, grabbed the jerky from Cyclops' hand, walked to the little girl, and helped her up.

These rascals came to their senses, and they exchanged glances, with wretched smiles on their faces, they were not easy to do anything in the market just now.

Now they are outside, but no one can control them, Cyclops raised his big fist, wanting to teach the woman in front of him a lesson.

However, as soon as he swung his fist, he couldn't hit it down no matter how hard he tried. When he turned his head, he saw a young man who looked like a small iron tower standing behind him.

"You... what do you want to do?"

The one-eyed dragon trembled.

Looking at his leg that instantly softened, it was a typical bully.

Zhuang pushed hard, and Cyclops fell to the ground in an instant, screaming ouch.

The people of the Phoenix Tribe have been taking showers and washing their hair frequently since last year, paying attention to hygiene. There is not much food, but they have never been hungry. They combine meat and vegetables, and they have recently taken in salt. The rest conditions are getting better and better, and they can sleep well every day. Not only is it strong, but everyone else feels full of strength.

Compared with the rascals in front of them, Zhuang and Yu's hair and body clothes were neat and clean, their eyes were clear and bright, and they were full of energy.

With a loud shout, these people trembled instantly.

But these people are the thorns in this market, and they are used to bullying others, so they are not willing to run away like this.

Relying on the sharpness of the animal bone in his hand, the other person charged straight over.

But he didn't expect that Yu who was standing in the front shortened his body, and his slender legs swept across, and that person was tripped and fell to the ground by the way, and dropped two front teeth.

Zhuang shook his fist and walked towards the other person. The person was so frightened that he froze and ran away.

Sang Yu called out to Zhuang who was about to catch up, and turned to look at the little girl just now.

Seeing a big swollen bump on her forehead, I couldn't bear it, and asked: "Is there no adult in your family, why do you let a little girl like you go to the market to exchange things?"

Yu explained a few more words to her from the side, and the little girl snorted and said: "There is no father, only mother and younger siblings, mother is going to die."

Hearing this, Sang Yu didn't care about anything else, and asked her to take them to see her mother.

The little girl's name is Mi. After what happened just now, she also knew that Sang Yu and the others were not bad people. Seeing that they really wanted to help her, she wiped away her tears and walked ahead.

But at this moment, a voice came from behind, a tall woman came towards them, she was carrying the Sangyu basket that had fallen halfway.

"Your basket..."

Sang Yu looked at the woman in front of her who was about 1.7 meters tall. She had a very well-proportioned figure and a healthy wheat-colored skin. She looked pretty and hearty.

Sang Yu has always liked looking at beauties, and this one in front of her can definitely be considered a beauty.

She looked at the pannier in the opponent's hand, and the leaves that were originally covering it had not been turned out, and she instantly had a little more affection for the woman in front of her.

"Thank you..." Sang Yu took out some dried meat from the basket and handed it to her, "I will never forget your kindness."

Primitives expressed their gratitude in a very straightforward way, so Sang Yu naturally expressed his thanks in simple and straightforward words.

When the woman took the jerky, she felt a burst of smoky aroma hit her nostrils. She couldn't help but took a bite, and soon her eyes became bright.

Hearing Sang Yu thank you, the woman shook her head to express that you are welcome, then waved goodbye to them.

Sang Yu watched her tall and straight body go away, but heard a small murmur beside her.

"What did you just say?" Sang Yu asked a little funny.

"I said, I will grow up to be as tall as her and stronger than her in the future."

Sang Yu was amused by her sudden boldness.

"Why do you have to be so tall, isn't it nice to be petite?"

Yu turned around and didn't answer her any more. He followed the little girl and was going to visit her house.

Mi's home was a cave, and inside the cave was a woman in her thirties and forties lying dying, and next to her were two children, four or five years old, surrounded by the sick mother, waiting to be fed.

There were some hay piled in the cave, and looking at the traces on it, it should be the bed where they slept at night.

There is no fire in the cave, and the weather in April is sunny and sunny outside, which is very comfortable, but inside the cave is very windy and very cold.

When the two children saw Mi come back, they all surrounded her and cried hungry.

But her mother didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.

Sang Yu looked at all this, frowned, and asked, "Are you all alone?"

Mi nodded. She didn't know what her father looked like. Before she was young, it was her mother who went out to look for food. She didn't know what happened. After she came back, her belly became bigger, so she gave birth to a younger brother and a younger sister. That's it again.

She had no choice but to find some wild fruits on the nearby mountains to eat. These days, when it came to the market, she exchanged wild fruits, but no one wanted them at all.

My mother couldn't eat anything, and my younger siblings were screaming from hunger.

Sang Yu walked over and touched the woman lightly, only to feel that her body was cold and her lips were black, and when she looked at her eyes, the pupils had disappeared.

"I'm afraid your mother will die."

Sang Yu spoke with difficulty.

Mi knelt and sat on the spot with a dull expression.

She had known for a long time that her mother was going to die, but she had delayed it for so long, thinking she could delay it for a while, but it was still gone.

She didn't know if she could support her younger siblings by herself.

"Do you need us to help you bury her?"

Mi shook his head, leaned on the woman, and finally began to cry.

Sang Yu was a little sad, but the child was too stubborn, and she was a little helpless, so she got: "If you can't make it through, come with me, our tribe is the Phoenix tribe, we have food and shelter, and we won't starve to death. "

Apart from compassion, Sang Yu was thinking about the future of the tribe. It would be a good thing for the tribe if these children could follow along.

But at this time, it was more painful.

In this era, so many people who are hungry are living lives.

After listening to Sang Yu's words, Mi turned to look at her and asked, "Can my brother and sister go together? Can we stay together?"

Regardless of her dirty hair, Sang Yu patted her head and said, "If you don't separate, you can live in the same room, have meat and soup every day, and your younger siblings will be taken care of by special people."

After listening to Mi, there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Sang Yu asked her again if she wanted to help her dispose of her mother's body, but the little girl still refused.

She had no choice but to say: "If you are willing to go with us, after you finish handling the matter, take your siblings to the market to find us. We are at the other end of the market. We will still be there tomorrow, and we will return to the tribe the day after tomorrow."

Mi listened and nodded.

Sang Yu and Yu Zhuang returned to the market.
