Chi Shao looked at the girl who stood up in surprise.
The girl seemed to have made up her mind and nodded firmly: "I think."
The girl's name is Zelan, and she is one of the first groups of tourists to join the Vine Tribe. She used to be young and had no sense of presence. Now that she is sixteen, she thinks she should do something for the tribe.
To be fair, Zelan is not the best candidate, because her medical skills are relatively low among the witch doctors, and she is still young and has insufficient experience. Everyone has doubts about her ability to serve as a small tribal witch.
However, she is the only one who dares to stand up. Based on the principle of voluntariness, she is the only candidate to serve as a witch in the Rat Tribe.
Even so, Chi Shao still said with a serious face: "It will be difficult, very difficult to work as a shaman in the Rat tribe, and if you are not careful, your life may be in danger. Have you really made your decision?"
Zelan mustered up his courage, raised his head and looked directly at Chi Shao: "Witch, the people of the Teng tribe are not afraid of death!"
"Okay!"
There was an expression of admiration on Chi Shao's face, which was very rare given her temperament.
"Is there anyone else willing to go?"
Chi Shao's eyes swept over the witch doctors one by one, hoping that someone with more ability would come forward.
However, she was disappointed.
Except for Zeelan, all the witch doctors lowered their heads. No matter what the reason was, they were unwilling to leave the rich and powerful Vine Tribe.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. When the tribal crisis comes, they may not lack the courage to fight, but now, they are no longer willing to go through the hardship of not having enough clothes to cover their bodies and not having enough to eat.
It’s time.
"Okay, Zeelan stays, the others can go back."
Chi Shao waved his hand, and the witch doctors left one after another. When they left the gate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they were a little ashamed, and their mood was very complicated.
When only Chi Shao and Zelan were left in the yard, Chi Shao took a deep breath and said: "Since you have decided to go, then for the next ten days, you will learn from me, and I will try my best to
Teach you how to be a witch."
"In ten days, you will set off with the fleet to the central part of the Southern Wilderness. By that time, no matter what you face, you can only rely on yourself. Do you understand?"
Zelan nodded: "Witch, I won't let the tribe down."
"Okay, let me take a walk around the tribe first."
Chi Shao is a very decisive and conscientious person. Since Zeelan is going to serve as a shaman in the Rat Tribe, she will first familiarize Zeelan with how the entire tribe operates and teach her how to solve problems when she encounters them.
The two of them left the courtyard one after the other and walked around the tribe.
……
Ten days passed by in a flash. During this period, Chi Shao spent almost all of his time teaching Zelan.
Even when making witchcraft potions and drawing witchcraft scrolls, Zeelan was involved.
It also allows Zelan to personally experience handling various affairs in the tribe, so that she can adapt to the identity of a witch as soon as possible.
"Ten days is still too short. What you can learn is very limited, but there is no time for you to continue learning."
By the Feiyu River, Chi Shao and Ze Lan were standing next to the docked ship, with worries still in their eyes.
"The leader once said to me, 'Learn by doing.' Now, you can only learn by yourself while being a witch."
"Witch..."
Zeelan's eyes were red. Although she did not regret it, tears flowed out uncontrollably when she thought about leaving the tribe and that it would be difficult to come back in the future.
Chi Shao patted her back gently and comforted her: "Remember, if you encounter trouble over there, run to the Teng Shen as soon as possible, and the Teng Shen will protect you."
Zeelan nodded heavily.
"Okay, it's time to set off. Take this bag with you. You'll need it when you get there."
Chi Shao handed Zeelan a large bag similar to a luggage bag, which contained a large amount of witchcraft medicine, knife coins, witchcraft scrolls, daily necessities, clothing and other things.
Zelan held the heavy package in her arms. She knew that it was full of good things. Even this animal skin luggage bag was the latest product of the clothing workshop and could be exchanged for a lot of coins in the trading area.
"Let's go, let's go, there will definitely be a chance to come back in the future."
Chi Shao waved his hand and asked Zelan to board the ship.
Zelan almost walked onto the ship, turning back three times a step, and then stood on the deck and looked back at everything about the Vine Tribe. She wanted to imprint these things deeply in her mind.
"Witch, let's set off!"
The leader of the fleet, Jing Jie, knelt on one knee respectfully in front of Chi Shao.
Chi Shao drew a totem pattern on the top of his head: "May the Vine God bless you and return safely."
"Thank you for the witch's blessing."
Nepeta stood up, quickly boarded the ship, and shouted: "Weigh the anchor!"
"Woooo..."
A crew member immediately blew the horn, and then all the ships began to retrieve the anchors at the front and rear, and the sound of chains colliding could be heard endlessly.
"Set the sails and set sail!"
Nepeta shouted again, and the crew quickly pulled the rope and raised the sail.
Driven by the wind and flowing water, large ships began to sail downstream.
On the deck, Zeelan kept waving to the red peony on the shore until the boat sailed far away and the shadows of the red peony and vine tribe could no longer be seen.
She slid along the side of the ship and sat on the deck. Although the tears no longer flowed, her eyes were still red.
Jingjie came over and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it won't take long, our fleet will sail to the central part. By then, you can often see the people of our Vine tribe, and all kinds of things produced in the tribe can also be seen."
Use it."
"Really?"
"That's natural. All the goods from our Vine Tribe have been sold to the Crocodile Tribe of the Central Tribe. It's only a matter of time before they go to the Rat Tribe."
"That's great."
Zelan was always a brave person. After hearing these words, her mood finally stopped being depressed, and she even began to fantasize about meeting the Vine tribe members again in the future.
The ship continued to move forward, and Jingjie also sat next to Zeelan, telling her vividly and vividly about the fleet's new experiences in various places, which made Zeelan feel eye-opening.
In this way, Zeelan followed the fleet and passed many tribes along the way, and saw with his own eyes the huge profits generated by the Vine tribe's transactions with other tribes.
A month later, the fleet finally arrived at the Crocodile Tribe.
At this time, the Vine Tribe fleet was already well-known among the Crocodile Tribe and several tribes surrounding the Crocodile Tribe. Their arrival was warmly welcomed by these tribes.
Zelan lived in the Crocodile Tribe for a few days, and then was taken to the Rat Tribe by Jiang Xuan on a glutinous rice ball.
The Rat Tribe at this time was completely different from before.
Under the guidance of a breeding team soldier and a planting team soldier brought by Jiang Xuan, they opened up a large amount of wasteland and planted various grain and vegetable crops. At the same time, they established a number of livestock stables and began to domesticate various animals in the central region.
Cub.
Although it is still very weak overall, with the care of the Vine God and the Ape Tribe, the Rat Tribe is no longer frequently attacked by other tribes, and even shows a prosperous atmosphere.
After Zelan arrived at the Rat Tribe, he immediately became the Rat Tribe Shaman under the arrangement of Jiang Xuan.
Although the people of the Rat Tribe were quite disapproving of this young girl, with the presence of Teng Shen and Jiang Xuan, they did not dare to openly disobey the new witch's orders.
In the newly built house, Jiang Xuan patted Zelan on the shoulder: "Prestige cannot be formed in a day or two. Use what you have learned to help the rat tribe as much as possible. One day, you
He will also become a respected shaman."
Zelan said with firm eyes: "I will try my best not to disappoint the leader."
"Okay, I will stay here for a while. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, just come to me."
"Thank you, chief..."
After the two talked for a while, Jiang Xuan left the room.
Zeelan took a deep breath, and then found the leader of the rat tribe, Gray Rat, to fully understand the situation of the rat tribe before deciding the direction of his future efforts.
