Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 198: Ship and River Fire

From the hometown of the Yanjiao Tribe to the Changzhou Tribe, the distance is a little far, it cannot be reached in a day or two, and you have to rest several times in the middle.

Yang Sui is quite familiar with this place. Although he can't go into too much detail, he can still say something about where there are tribes, where there are markets, etc.

When he was in his hometown, in order to deal with the people of the Wanshi tribe, Shao Xuan was injured, and his clothes, pants, etc. were stained with blood, and there were many scratches and tatters, and he looked quite abject.

In the central part, many tribes are very particular, especially those big tribes. People are judged by clothing at first. If they dress well, they will first be classified into the big tribes. Kind of a small tribe that doesn't want to be ignored.

After arriving at the market, Shao Xuan went to exchange a fur coat. The skins of beasts are not as comfortable to wear as the skins of fierce beasts, but you can't ask for too much at this time. It's enough to look a little decent. After all, you can't lose face of the tribe when you come to the middle for a walk, right? If Wu knew, he had to preach again.

In addition to changing some winter clothes, Shao Xuan also prepared some food to eat on the road, also inquired about the surrounding pattern, and improved the map in his hand.

Yang Sui also went to change a few thick fur clothes for winter. He did not use spar such as water moon stone, nor jade, but a kind of shell.

Those shells were polished, drilled, and stringed together with strings, which is the "currency" that many people use to exchange things. When Shao Xuan and the Pu tribe were together, I heard people say this kind of shellfish "currency", and I saw it in some markets, but at that time, many questions could not be solved, and Yang Sui who often used shells to trade , then gave Shao Xuan a not-so-detailed explanation.

"This kind of shell is very useful. Many people in the central region like to use this beautiful shell to polish it into ornaments. In addition, this shell is ground into powder, which can be used for medicine. It can be used as paint, it is said. The people of the Lu tribe raised it. When feeding animals, they also like to mix some shell powder. Later, many tribes followed suit. Oh, people who make pottery also like to use some shell powder... Hey, many people like it anyway, so this kind of shell can Trade in the middle."

Yang Sui handed Shao Xuan a shell, "In our tribe. There are often people who are said to have come from far away from the sea, and they will bring a lot of these shells, and we can exchange them with them with only a few things. Lots of shells. I took a lot with me when I left the tribe."

Speaking of this, Yang Sui is proud. Although the tribe is often dry and the harvest is not good, these shells from other tribes have made the tribe's life less miserable. Some people often go outside. Every time I can exchange shells for a lot of things.

To a certain extent, the Rain Tribe is also a local tyrant tribe.

Bad harvest. The shells come together, and the days go by.

Not all kinds of shells are popular. Shao Xuan asked some things about this kind of shells, and they were all recorded on the animal skin scroll. Thousands of years ago, this kind of "payment" method was not popular, and this had to be left to the tribe. People who understand and understand, don’t come here and don’t understand anything.

Since it is a kind of "coin", Shao Xuan can't want those shells in Yang Sui's hand in vain. He exchanged a bunch of water moon stones with Yang Sui and put them in an animal skin bag. Take it back with you when you go back to the tribe.

Shao Xuan squeezed the shells, they were quite strong. in this bunch of shells. The colors are not exactly the same. The white shells have a lustrous white luster, like shiny pearls. Other colors look good. It is no wonder that those in the middle who have begun to pursue "beauty" like to use these shells to polish jewelry.

"It's getting colder and colder these days." Yang Sui gathered up an animal skin coat he had just bought from the market, shivered a bit by the wind, looked at the sky, and said, "Shao Xuan, I think, In three days, it will probably snow here. The same is true for the Changzhou tribe."

"Then we have to hurry up and hurry." Shao Xuan said. Once it starts to snow, it's a lot harder to travel.

However, the good thing is that the winter here is not as cold as that of the Yanjiao tribe. According to what Shao Xuan has learned, the winter here will not always snow, nor will it always snow heavily, and even rivers in some places. Neither will freeze.

I'm used to the kind of winter when the world is full of white ice and snow and the cold wind is blowing. Here, it's nothing.

"Shao Xuan, aren't you cold?" Yang Sui asked when he saw that Shao Xuan was wearing a thin animal skin coat.

"fine."

Shaking his head, looking at Cha Cha landing from the sky, Yang Sui put on all the animal skin coat and a fur cloak that he had changed to today, wrapped himself like a silkworm cocoon, and wrapped his head too, revealing a nostril and a Eye.

When flying in the air, it will be colder, and as the weather begins to drop significantly, Yang Sui is uncomfortable, and that's all.

Cha Cha glanced contemptuously at the man wrapped in layers of animal skins, stretched out his claws to grab it, flapped his wings, and flew again.

According to the direction pointed by Yang Sui, the two and one eagle hurried on the road again. The good thing is that it was much more convenient from the air and avoided many detours. Listening to Yang Sui's words, the Changzhou Tribe will not be far away. It will definitely arrive in three days, maybe two days.

However, Shao Xuan was too happy too early.

A day later, Shao Xuan looked at the river with a "y" fork in front of him and asked Yang Sui, "Which way?"

The expression on Yang Sui's face was like constipation. After a while of silence, he replied, "I don't know."

Even if there is a map, this area Shao Xuan only roughly drew according to other people's descriptions. These days, the map of this place can't be very accurate. Even if others show the local map to Shao Xuan, there are still many inaccuracies. It is true that today's maps are drawn too roughly, with a few simple lines, to find the exact location.

And Shao Xuan still believed too much in Yang Sui's experience and sense of direction.

"I remember that walking along the river, you can get there." Yang Sui was helpless. He followed the expedition team from the other side through the Changzhou tribe to the middle, not far from the river, so he remembered He has been walking near the river. He really didn't know that there would be such a fork here, so that when he returned from the middle to the edge, he couldn't remember the way.

Left or right?

Generally speaking, if there is a wide tributary and a narrow tributary, that's fine. The Changzhou Tribe naturally goes to the wide tributary, but now...

Looking at the two tributaries in front of them with similar widths, even Shao Xuan couldn't tell which side to choose.

Not a single figure was seen around, and no traces of people's activities were found nearby. In a small area, you will not see other tribes.

This is a place off the beaten track.

Either, wait here to see if anyone else is passing by, and then ask about it; or, let Chacha fly forward and explore the way first, or turn back and ask someone for directions.

The former is too uncertain. As Yang Sui said, it is almost winter now, and there are many fewer people coming out for activities. Who knows when we will see the third person? The latter also takes time.

"Then... what should I do?" Yang Sui asked, clutching his hungry stomach.

Shao Xuan thought for a while and made a decision: "It's getting late, so let's take a night's rest nearby and wait until tomorrow."

"I think so too. There should be a few fleets of the Changzhou tribe that haven't returned this year. They will definitely pass by here when they go back. We should be able to see the fleet of the Changzhou tribe after a while. I heard that they All return to the Horde in the days before and after the snowfall."

"Well, then wait nearby." Shao Xuan glanced around and pointed to a nearby mountain, "Go over there."

After hunting a wild beast, igniting the fire, and roasting it, Shao Xuan came to a place on the mountain. From here, he could clearly see the situation on the other side of the river and would not miss anything.

"If there is a fleet of Changzhou tribe passing by at night, you can see it from a long distance. The fire flow of the boat river is not nonsense." Yang Sui said.

"Chuhe River Fire Stream?"

"You'll know when you see it." Yang Sui yawned and went to a leeward position to take a nap.

midnight.

Shao Xuan opened his eyes and looked over to the fork of the river and found nothing, but when he looked upstream, he found that a little spark was moving.

No, it wasn't a spark, it was a ship with torches.

When the ship over there was getting closer, "Mars" also became a line of fire.

It was the fleet of the Long Boat Tribe, each with torches and many boats, so it looked like a flowing line of fire.

Is this the boat river fire flow?

This river is called the "boat river" because the fleet of the Changzhou tribe often travels, and the fire flow is probably the current situation.

Chacha saw the "fire stream" and flapped his wings, and the sleeping Yang Sui was patted and woken up.

Yawning and looking down, Yang Sui was overjoyed: "I really ran into it! This is the Chuanhe Fire Stream!!"

Shao Xuan had seen too many things in his previous life, and such a scene is nothing, but it is undoubtedly shocking in today's environment.

The boat of the Changzhou Tribe is really big, bigger than Shao Xuan thought, and it runs steadily. There are masts and sails on the boat. But now, most of the boats are driven by manpower, and Shao Xuan can clearly hear the sound of water paddling over there.

"They also travel at night?" Shao Xuan asked.

There is no radar, no navigator and other auxiliary tools, but the boat of the Changzhou Tribe can still run smoothly at night.

"The fleet of the Changzhou tribe often goes here, and they are very familiar with them. There used to be many people sailing at night, but there were many accidents, either hitting the shore or other accidents. However, it is rare to hear about the long boat. An accident happened to the tribe. And the Chuanhe fire flow is the most distinctive sight of the Changzhou tribe." Yang Sui looked at the long fire flow below and said with admiration.

Above the Chuan River, Shao Xuan watched as this "fire stream" gradually came to the fork and passed through the tributary on the right.

"It's over there!" (To be continued)
