"Sit down, this is our Sheyi Department. People from the Qi Tongue Department will not find us here."
Gong Liang took the water from the thin man and asked, "You still don't know what to call it?"
"Kalong, the leader of the Sheyi tribe." said the thin man.
After Gong Liang heard what he said, he looked at the wooden house again. It could be described as a house with four walls. Wherever he walked, it was the first time he had seen such a poor tribal leader.
"My name is Gong Liang, I'm from the Yan tribe. I'm going to the temple and I happened to pass by here."
Kalon nodded and said: "In the past, some people who went to the temple to worship would pass through the swamp every year, but since the swamp was occupied by the Qiton tribe, those who went to the temple to worship took the risk of walking from the tidal flat.
I rarely come here anymore. A few years ago, people from the middle tribes built a wooden bridge on the tidal flat, and people who went to worship went over there. Almost no one came here anymore. You and I
The first one I’ve seen in years.”
"What, is there a wooden bridge over there? I didn't see it! Where is it?"
Gongliang couldn't help but be dumbfounded. If he knew there was a wooden bridge over there, would he have come here?
"It's in the middle of that mangrove forest. It seems to have been washed away by the tide, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see it. But now even if the wooden bridge is not washed away, you can't cross it. This time, kill Qi Tobu
People, in their rage, they will burn the wooden bridge and may also anger the people who go to the temple to worship."
"Now what?"
"You stay here for one night first. When my tribe comes back from hunting, I will explain to them that I will take you around the other side of the mountain tomorrow so that you won't run into the Qitongue people."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for helping me kill the Qi Tongue people. Otherwise, I don't know if I would be able to come back."
Speaking of this, Gongliang asked Kalon in surprise: "Why is the person with the tongue tongue a snakehead? I have never seen such a strange person along the way."
Garon glanced at Mi Gu, as if to say, isn't it weird to have wings?
However, he still replied: "This Qiyu tribe is actually not our tribe, but a kind of snake lizard. Later, they plundered some girls from our tribe and multiplied, and they became what they are today. Although
They are somewhat human-like, but they have a cruel temperament and are ignorant. Even if their population is huge, they will not be included in the Ten Thousand Tribes of the Great Wilderness. Our tribe of Shexie was originally one of the Ten Thousand Tribes of the Great Wilderness. Unfortunately, after the fight with the Patriarch of the Wilderness, only these few people were left.
, now it is estimated that they can only be reduced to the same status as those wilderness tribes.
Now that the Qiyu tribe has banned our tribe from going to the swamps to kill monsters, the life of our tribe is becoming more and more difficult."
"Why don't you move away from here? For example, go to the beach. There is plenty of food there, and you can prevent the tribe from starving and becoming this thin. Besides, you can also avoid being chased by the Qi Tongue tribe."
When Kalon heard this, he said sternly: "Since our Sheyi tribe takes the name of the Sheju tribe and takes the Sheju as our profession, how can we leave here?"
Gongliang curled his lips. People were about to starve to death. What would they do if they insisted on unnecessary things? What a fool. Don’t you worry about running out of firewood if you keep the green hills?
Seeing that Kalon was so persistent, he didn't try to persuade him any more and stayed in the Sheyi tribe that night.
When the sun was setting in the west, the tribesmen who went out to hunt came back with small animals and pheasants in twos and threes. Gongliang frowned at the sight.
I have passed through so many places, and I have never seen a tribe with so few prey. Of course, except for the Lebi tribe. If they could be as small as the Lebi tribe, at least the food would be enough, but unfortunately not. There are so few.
Things have to feed a large group of people. No wonder the people of the Sheyi tribe are all skinny, like black ghosts in African tribes.
In the evening, Kalon brought out the best food of the tribe to entertain the guests, and Gongliang and Migu shared a meal of Sheyun tribe's delicacies.
It was a mess of black, white, green, and yellow colors mixed together. It didn't smell like food at all. It had a rancid smell stronger than pig food. I didn't know how they made it.
The most important thing is that they use their right hand to grab food and eat. Gongliang also uses this hand to go to the toilet. But how can he refuse the kindness of others?
If someone offers the best food from the tribe and you refuse, that would be an insult to the tribe.
As a last resort, Gongliang had no choice but to wash his hands, grab the "delicious food" from the vagina with his hands, and swallow it with difficulty.
Mi Gu just glanced at it and lost his appetite. He took out a wild fruit he didn't know where he picked from his treasure bag and nibbled on it. However, Yuanyuan and Xiaochi had no chance to get food.
The people in the Sheyi tribe were almost starving to death themselves, so how could they feed them any more food?
As a last resort, Gongliang himself had to take out some stored grain from the fruit space at night and feed it to them.
Early the next morning, Kalon explained to his tribe that he would take Gongliang and the others on their way.
"Wait a moment."
Gongliang stopped quickly, then took out some cured meat and dried oysters from the treasure bag, and said: "Thank you very much for your hospitality last night. These things are my thank you gifts."
The people from the Sheying tribe next to him saw the cured meat and dried oysters he took out. They smelled the salty smell of the cured meat and the seafood smell of the dried oysters. Their eyes suddenly opened wide and they kept swallowing their saliva. It smelled so good!
Garon wanted to refuse, but he really couldn't give a reason for the refusal. The most important thing was that their tribe really needed these things.
Gongliang didn't want to thank him for yesterday's hospitality. To be honest, he still felt very uncomfortable after eating the messy food yesterday. In fact, it was because he saw that the bow and arrows held in Garon's hands were good yesterday, so he planned to thank him in the name of thanking him.
He changed some bows and some arrows. Not only for his own use, Mi Gu should also learn how to shoot arrows. Otherwise, what's the point of just spitting?
Seeing their looks, Gongliang smiled slightly and said: "Brother Kalon, put it away! I still have some things I want to discuss with you."
When Kalon heard this, he put the things away.
Gongliang asked again: "Brother Kalon, I wonder if you can give me two bows and arrows from your tribe. I'm willing to give you some pickled beast meat in exchange."
After saying that, he took out a pickled wild beast half the size of a hill from the fruit space.
If Kalon and the others were only interested in the cured meat and dried oysters before, now their eyes are all green.
"leader"
The people of the Sheyi tribe called Garon anxiously, fearing that he would not agree and they could not remember when they had eaten the meat of such a huge wild beast.
Kalon glanced at Gongliang and sighed: "Come with me!"
Gongliang walked over with him.
Galon led them through several wooden houses and came to the last mountain wall. Galon pushed on a rock above, revealing a hole inside. He then took a nearby torch to light it and walked in.
After walking for a while, they came to a place. Garon lit a torch on the mountain wall and inserted the torch in his hand into it.
There was a bright light in the cave, and Gong Liang looked carefully and realized that it was a warehouse for storing weapons, which was filled with bows, arrows, spears, and leather armor.
"Just go and see for yourself what kind of bows and arrows you want to change!" Garon said.
Gongliang nodded and took Migu to the place where the bows and arrows were kept.
