"Hey..."
To be cautious, Jiang Xuan asked the glutinous rice balls to land far away from where the tribe lived.
As soon as the glutinous rice balls landed on the ground, a large number of warriors came out of the strange tribe, running towards them and surrounding the glutinous rice balls.
Tangyuan's chin was slightly raised, his eyes were a little contemptuous, and he obviously didn't take these people seriously.
Unless the opponent's totem god takes action, or a ferocious bird comparable to it appears, otherwise, as long as it wants to fly away, no one can stop it.
Those bone spears and stone spears couldn't even penetrate the hard feathers of glutinous rice balls.
Jiang Xuan noticed another thing. Behind those warriors, there were countless big crabs waving their big pincers and crawling towards them quickly.
Crabs are different from other animals. Most animals walk forward, but crabs walk sideways. Coupled with two large pincers, they look very domineering.
These large crabs are blue-grey in color and very large, almost each one is the size of a millstone.
Such a big crab should be delicious, right?
Jiang Xuan thought this in his heart and couldn't help but swallow secretly.
Of course, he would never show it, let alone say it, otherwise he might be violently attacked by this tribe.
Because he saw crab-like cyan totem patterns on the faces of those soldiers.
In other words, this tribe should be a crab tribe, and their totem god should be a super big crab.
No matter in the past life or this life, no matter where you go, respecting local customs is the most important thing. It is not only to respect each other, but also to protect yourself.
Eating crabs in a crab tribe is the most serious provocation, and you will definitely be attacked by a group of people.
Jiang Xuan sat on the back of Tang Yuan and shouted to the Crab Tribe warriors: "I am Xuan, the leader of the Teng Tribe. I came from far away specifically to make deals with you. I have no ill intentions towards you."
"The Vine Tribe? A trader?"
Among the crowd, a short, fat, middle-aged man walked out, and the surrounding crab tribe warriors made way for him, obviously respecting him.
Tribal people are poorly fed, poorly housed, and exercise a ridiculous amount. They are generally dark and thin, with very few fat people.
But this middle-aged man has gained a lot of weight and is really an anomaly.
The middle-aged man said to Jiang Xuan: "Are you here to make a deal?"
"Yes, I brought some goods, maybe you will like them."
"Show me a few."
Jiang Xuan took out a pottery bowl from the animal skin bag and said, "This is a fine pottery made by our Vine tribe. Take it."
Jiang Xuan threw the pottery bowl at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked very fat, but he was very agile. He stretched out his hand and caught the pottery bowl firmly.
He looked through the pottery bowl and saw many exquisite patterns on the bowl, including flowers, trees, and birds.
Not only that, these patterns are all colored!
This is the latest technology - painting and glazing - developed by the Teng Tribe Pottery Workshop under the inspiration of Jiang Xuan.
They first painted patterns on the pottery with mineral raw materials, and after drying, they applied a glaze made of clay and stone powder to water on the surface.
After being fired in the kiln at high temperature, a layer of glassy glaze will appear on the surface of the pottery, and the pattern inside the glaze will also appear.
Although this kind of pottery is not yet porcelain, it is close to it!
The middle-aged man's eyes widened when he saw such pottery. He had never seen such exquisite pottery in his life!
He took the pottery and admired it over and over again, and couldn't put it down.
After he finally regained some sense, he immediately looked at Jiang Xuan with a warm smile on his face.
The middle-aged man first waved the soldiers to put away their weapons, and then said to Jiang Xuan: "Friends from far away, welcome to the Crab Tribe. I am the leader of the Crab Tribe, Mountain Crab."
"Our Crab Tribe likes to make deals with people from other tribes. Come down quickly."
Jiang Xuandao: "If I go down, your crab tribe warriors won't attack, right?"
Mountain Crab patted his chest and promised: "I swear to the Crab God, the crab tribe warriors will never attack you!"
Jiang Xuan nodded and swore to the totem god that it was still somewhat binding on the tribesmen.
What's more, his left arm is wrapped with a vine given by Shen Teng. As long as he doesn't encounter the totem god of the big tribe, it will not be easy for others to kill him.
"Boom!"
Jiang Xuan took an animal skin bag and walked calmly along the wings of the glutinous rice balls.
When the warriors of the Crab Tribe saw this scene, they all had envious looks in their eyes. Who wouldn't want to own a ferocious bird that could carry him and fly and was humane?
"Chief Xuan, I'll return this pottery bowl to you."
Although Mountain Crab is very reluctant to part with it, there is no deal yet, so he can only return the pottery bowl to Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan smiled and pushed the pottery bowl back and said, "This pottery bowl is given to the leader of the Mountain Crab as a meeting gift."
"This...how is this so embarrassing?"
Mountain Crab said something embarrassing, but he retracted his hands and held the pottery bowl tightly.
"Hahaha, if the mountain crab leader feels embarrassed, please treat me to a barbecue. I'm hungry after running so far."
Shan Crab said grandly: "How can one barbecue be enough? Eat at least three meals!"
"Chief Xuan, let's take a walk. I'll take you to eat something good."
As the saying goes, a man has short hands and a soft mouth when eating, so Mountain Crab got a valuable and exquisite pottery bowl and became enthusiastic towards Jiang Xuan.
The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder, chatting and laughing happily, just like old friends reunited after a long separation.
Along the way, Jiang Xuan observed the surrounding environment.
He found that there were earth holes everywhere along the river bank, and in each earth hole, there lived a big crab.
When the glutinous rice balls landed on the ground, these big crabs and the soldiers surrounded the glutinous rice balls. After the misunderstanding was resolved, these big crabs spread their eight long legs and crawled sideways back into their soil holes.
On the big rocks by the river or on the trunks of big trees, there are many totem patterns painted with blue-gray paint, which shows that the crab tribe has lived here for a long time.
After entering the Crab Tribe, Jiang Xuan saw acres of steamed bun-shaped buildings.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These buildings are relatively low. Jiang Xuan observed carefully and found that it was a three-story structure.
The innermost layer is made of solid wood, the middle layer is mud, and the outer layer is made of leaves similar to banana leaves, which are woven into a waterproof roof.
Apparently few outsiders came to the Crab tribe. After Jiang Xuan and Shan Crab entered, countless tribesmen gathered around to look at them with very strange looks.
This feeling of being watched was very unpleasant, making Jiang Xuan feel like an animal in a zoo.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before he was invited by Mountain Crab to a relatively large steamed bun-shaped house in the center of the tribe.
The house is neither wide nor very high. There is a firepit in the middle and a bed covered with animal skins next to it.
Because the riverside is relatively humid, the beds of the crab tribe are built with stones and wood, about thirty centimeters above the ground, to isolate them from the wet ground.
Because the space was relatively small, Jiang Xuan could only sit on the ground with Shan Crab after entering.
Of course, the ground is paved with broad leaves and animal skins.
"Chief Xuan, sit down for a moment and I'll treat you to something good!"
Shan Crab walked to the door and gave a few instructions to a soldier. The soldier nodded and ran away.
After the mountain crab came back, Jiang Xuan asked curiously: "What good food should I eat?"
Mountain Crab smiled mysteriously and said: "You will know after a while, this thing is not available in other tribes."
Jiang Xuan became even more curious about this. Could it be some kind of specialty?
But Shan Xia didn't say anything, so he had no choice but to wait patiently.
While waiting, the mountain crab cut several kilograms of animal meat, cut it into small pieces and roasted it for Jiang Xuan to eat.
Barbecuing is actually very troublesome when there is no oil. If a large piece of meat is grilled directly on the fire, it may be cooked on the outside but still raw on the inside.
Therefore, cutting the meat into finger-sized pieces and skewering it with wooden sticks is a better choice because it cooks quickly and thoroughly.
Of course, some tribal people often eat half-cooked meat as long as it can fill their stomachs.
After Jiang Xuan ate a few skewers of meat, a sound of "rustling" came from outside. Shan Crab suddenly became energetic and stood up immediately.
"Chief Xuan, something good is coming!"
