Feng Cao left Jiang Xuan's house with longing for the middle part. Not long after, leaders such as Nanxing Uncaria, Stone Loach, Nepeta and so on came to Jiang Xuan's house.
Jiang Xuan entertained them with some specialties brought back from the central region, such as fish scale fruits brought back from the crocodile tribe.
"Chief, what is the central region like? Chief, are the big tribes in the central region strong? Chief..."
Everyone asked Jiang Xuan questions, and Jiang Xuan answered them one by one with a smile.
Due to the inconvenience of transportation, the tribesmen have very little information. Everything Jiang Xuan said made them feel very fresh and exciting.
Undo said: "I really want to visit the central part."
Others nodded, they also wanted to go, but the central part is too far, and they don't have flying mounts like Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuandao: "Don't worry, there will be opportunities sooner or later. One day, our Vine Tribe will have more exchanges with the central part and even further places!"
Nan Xing said longingly: "I really hope that day comes soon."
Others nodded, and they were also looking forward to that day.
"Don't be anxious. We have to eat one bite at a time and do things one by one. Let's run this place well first. Only when the tribe becomes stronger can we truly go out."
Jiang Xuan discussed the future development direction of the Vine Tribe with them. Everyone gathered around the warm fire pit, eating meat and chatting, which was very comfortable.
"By the way, I brought a gift for each of you. I'll take it out for you."
Jiang Xuan stood up, opened the animal skin bag stacked in the corner of the room, and took out a stack of spider silk clothes.
"These spider silk clothes were exchanged for insect wax when I went to the Spider Tribe. I will give each of you one to wear on a daily basis. It can save your life in critical situations."
Jiang Xuan gave each of them a more suitable spider silk suit according to their body shape. "Thank you, chief."
Several people were ecstatic. With the spider silk clothing, they would be able to avoid a lot of injuries when encountering sudden attacks or fighting.
This is a good thing that can save your life.
"Okay, you go back first, I have to discuss something with Wu."
Uncaria and others stood up one after another, holding the precious spider silk clothes and planning to put them on when they got back.
When they were about to leave, Jiang Xuandao: "Stay here with Jing Jie. I have something to ask you."
Jing Jie was stunned. The others looked at Jing Jie, then at Jiang Xuan, and then left wisely. Jing Jie returned to the fire pond uneasily, thinking about whether he had done anything wrong.
"Don't be nervous, sit down, I just want to chat with you." At Jiang Xuan's signal, Jie Jie sat down again. "How is the harvest this winter?" Jiang Xuan's tone was very relaxed, not as usual when chatting. What's the difference?
Nepeta cautiously replied: "This year's winter fishing harvest is not bad. There are many kinds of fish and shrimp caught. If we save a little, it will be enough for the people of the tribe to eat until spring."
Jiang Xuan nodded and asked: "Then did you bring some fish and shrimp back to try?" Upon hearing this, Jingjie's face immediately turned pale.
He immediately stood up and admitted proactively: "Chief, I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken those fish and shrimps home."
Jiang Xuan waved his hand and said: "Don't be so nervous, sit down, sit down, I don't blame you." Jing Jie sat down again, but this time, he was on pins and needles.
"I heard that you recently used those fish and shrimps to actively help a dozen women in the tribe who are living in difficulty?"
Nepeta stood up again in fright, with cold sweat breaking out on her body.
"Chief, I was really wrong, I... I was obsessed, I deserved it..."
Jing Jie was really panicked. If these things had not been spoken out, they might not have been worth mentioning, but now that Jiang Xuan had spoken out, the nature had become serious.
Jiang Xuan looked at the panicked Jing Jie and stopped pretending. This time he wanted to use this incident to give Jing Jie a good beating to prevent him from making bigger mistakes in the future.
Jiang Xuan said calmly: "Jingjie, you can be considered an old man in the tribe. Not long after the tribe was established, you joined with a group of tourists. I think you should remember how difficult the life was."
Jing Jie nodded hurriedly: "Of course I remember, if the leader hadn't taken us in, we would have all starved to death."
"Since you remember, you should know how much effort the Vine Tribe has put in and how many crises it has weathered in order to have enough to eat and survive."
"You don't know how many soldiers lie in that cemetery on the north slope, do you?"
When Nepeta heard these words, her face turned red and she didn't dare to say a word. She wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Jiang Xuan continued: "As a leader, you can get more than ordinary soldiers, and you also have to bear more responsibilities."
"The tribe will give you whatever is yours, but if it's not yours, you can't reach out and take it yourself. Do you understand?"
"Ming...I understand..."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "Ningjie, the Vine Tribe fleet will go very far in the future, and you will face more temptations by then. If you can't control yourself, sooner or later, the Law Enforcement Hall will come to the meeting
Looking for you."
"I don't want to see you in the jail of the Law Enforcement Hall one day."
This sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting Jingjie's heart and making him tremble all over.
Now he is the leader of the prosperous fishing team and the captain of the fleet, but if he goes to the prison of the law enforcement hall, everything will be taken away from him, including his life.
"Chief... Chief, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please spare me this time..." Jingjie was really scared, and she was in a state of panic.
Because I have enjoyed all the benefits that power brings, I naturally cannot bear to lose it.
Jiang Xuan patted Jing Jie on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm just giving you a warning. I'm not trying to arrest you in the law enforcement hall."
"Thank you, chief, for reminding me."
Although Jiang Xuan said this, Jingjie did not dare to think so. Jiang Xuan's words just now were already a very severe warning.
"Okay, go back and just remember what I said today."
The Nepeta Chicken nodded like it was pecking at rice, and then left Jiang Xuan's house tremblingly.
There was still heavy snow falling outside, and Jingjie shivered involuntarily, because his back was already wet with cold sweat.
He walked home one step at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time, and he kept reflecting on himself. He found that he had indeed been a little too drifting during this period.
"Squeak..."
Jingjie opened the door to her house, and there were already two women sitting there by the fire pit.
When the two women saw Jingjie coming back, their eyes suddenly lit up and they walked over one after another. "Chief Jingjie, why did you come back so late? Chief Jingjie, we made some broth. Drink some quickly to warm yourself up."
."
They naturally took one side and hugged Jingjie's arm.
However, Jingjie had just been beaten by Jiang Xuan, how could she still dare to mess around?
He pulled his arm back with difficulty and said to the two women: "You go back, don't come here again."
"Did we do something wrong?" The two women felt very wronged.
Jingjie shook her head and said: "You are right, I was wrong. I should not have taken the catch of the fishing team, and I will not take it again in the future."
The two women wanted to say something more, but Jie Jie pushed them out of the door, not giving them a chance to continue talking.
Nepeta closed the door, sat next to the fire pit, looked at the dancing flames and the boiling broth in the pot, and suddenly slapped herself.
Today, Jingjie is very interested in the central part of the Southern Wilderness and the places beyond that mentioned by Jiang Xuan. He is eager to one day lead the Vine Tribe fleet to ride the wind and waves to see the wider world.
He would never allow himself to lose the qualification to continue leading the fleet because of some greed and desire. "You must not make any more mistakes!" Jingjie clenched his fists and his eyes became firm. On the other side, Jiang Xuan finished beating Jingjie.
After mustard, I went to find red peony root with some gifts.
When he walked into Chi Shao's house, he saw a glowing ball, just like a small moon.
This round ball is polished with natural, luminous gemstones. It is relatively bright and can be used as a light bulb.
The most important thing is that this kind of gem is not like the radioactive minerals Jiang Xuan has seen. This kind of gem is not harmful to the human body and is one of the specialties of this world.
"Xuan, please sit down for a while while I finish these medicinal powders."
Although a witchcraft hospital has been established, red peony root still often makes some witchcraft medicine to treat diseases and save people.
Jiang Xuan listened to the sound of the medicine grinder and watched the red peony root busy, and his mood became very calm.
After a long time, Chi Shao finally finished mixing the witch medicine and packed them one by one in small pottery bottles.
"Okay, it's finally done."
Chi Shao stretched out, walked to Jiang Xuan naturally, and sat down.
Jiang Xuan opened the animal skin bag he brought and said, "Sister, I brought you some herbs, two pieces of spider silk clothing, some fish scale fruits, and some bone ornaments from the central part of the Southern Wilderness. Take a look."<
/p>
Chi Shao took the large animal skin bag and took out the contents one by one, with a smile on his face.
"I like these things very much, especially these herbs, which I have never seen before. Do you know what diseases they can cure?"
"I know, I asked specifically when I was trading."
Jiang Xuan has a very good memory. He recalled it and then introduced the functions of those herbs to Chi Shao one by one.
Red peony used these herbs for a few times and then said: "They are all very good herbs, but it is a pity that they have dried up. If they had not dried up, maybe you can try to plant them."
Influenced by Jiang Xuan, Chi Shao’s first thought when it comes to these unseen herbs is to plant them, because only after planting can they be used continuously.
"It doesn't matter. I'm just exploring the southern wasteland this time. We'll go there again in the future, and I'll dig more for you to plant."
"That's great."
Chi Shao became happy again. She didn’t care much about other things, but she loved all kinds of medicinal herbs.
"And this one, this is called fish scale grass, and the fruit inside is called fish scale fruit. This is a good thing I brought back from the crocodile tribe."
"With this thing, those muddy depressions can produce food in the future."
Jiang Xuan introduced Chi Shao to Ichthyosaurus, a food crop suitable for wetlands and tidal flats.
"If the planting can be successful, it will be great for our Vine Tribe to have another kind of food."
Tribal people attach great importance to what they can eat, and so does red peony root.
Jiang Xuan once again told Chi Shao in detail about his experience of going to the central part of the Southern Wilderness. Chi Shao listened carefully most of the time, and even if he had questions, he waited until Jiang Xuan finished speaking before asking.
The two of them talked around the firepit until midnight, and then Jiang Xuan went back to his room to sleep. Early the next morning, Jiang Xuan went to see the old witch with some gifts.
"Ding ding ding..."
As soon as he approached the old witch's house, he heard a knocking sound. He knew that it was probably the old witch carving a sketch of the Great Wilderness.
"Dong dong dong..." Jiang Xuan knocked on the old witch's door. "Squeak..."
The old witch opened the door, and sure enough, he was wearing an animal skin apron, and his hands and apron were covered with stone powder.
"Back? Back. Come in."
The old witch returned to the fire pit, picked up the hammer and chisel, and continued to meticulously carve out the huge piece of high-quality stone.
Jiang Xuan closed the door, walked to the old witch, and looked at the huge stone curiously.
On the boulder, about one-fifth of the area has been engraved with various witchcraft characters. These witchcraft characters are shaped like flowers, birds, insects, and fish, and are irregular. If you stare at them for a long time, you will feel dizzy.
These witchcraft texts are specially meant for witches with witchcraft power. Each character contains a lot of information, and people without witchcraft power cannot understand it at all.
The old witch has been chiseling this huge stone for two years. Jiang Xuan estimates that even if everything goes well, it will still take ten years for the old witch to finish chiseling the Great Wilderness Hundred Sketch Plan.
Moreover, even if it takes ten years, it is impossible to record all the herbs in the entire primitive continent. It can only record the herbs that the old witch found.
This is a long job.
Jiang Xuan looked at the old witch's old face and his words that he always said he had only a few years to live, and deeply doubted whether he could finish carving out the Great Wilderness Hundreds of Sketch Plans alive.
"Boy, why are you looking at me and thinking that the old man has returned to the embrace of the Eagle God?"
The old witch didn't even raise his head, but he knew Jiang Xuan was looking at him and even guessed what he was thinking.
"No, no, you can live for at least a few decades. How can you go to see the Eagle God so soon?"
"You know how to choose nice things to say."
The old witch laboriously finished carving out the witch inscriptions, put down the hammer and chisel, blew on the stone powder on the witch inscriptions, and then looked up at Jiang Xuan with a smile on his face.
"How do you feel about this trip to central China?"
"I'm very impressed. The central part is indeed a good place. Those big tribes have a lot of good things. Are you attracted to the central part?" Jiang Xuan touched his nose and said with a smile: "Who doesn't want good things."
The old witch stood up, took off his animal skin apron, patted the stone powder on his body, and said: "You are right, everyone wants good things, but I want to remind you that with the current strength of your Vine Tribe, if you really do it rashly
Entering the central part of the Southern Wilderness, there will be no scraps left that are easy for others to eat."
Jiang Xuan said sternly: "Don't worry, old witch, I won't go in hastily. I just want to do some transactions with the tribes in the central part, using our goods in exchange for some goods from the central part."
The old witch nodded and said: "Xuan, you are a smart person and you should know what is best, so I won't say more."
"Thank you, old witch. This time when I went to the central part, I found some rare herbs for you." Jiang Xuan handed an animal skin bag to the old witch, which was full of various herbs.
The old witch opened it and saw that there were some herbs that he had never seen before. He was immediately attracted and picked up the herbs and asked Jiang Xuan in detail.
Jiang Xuan didn't know much about herbal medicine, so he could only tell the old witch everything he remembered.
Even so, the old witch is very happy because he can add some new content to his sketch of the Great Wilderness.
