Chapter 390: If you don’t become a family member, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.
The ninth year since the establishment of the Vine Tribe, the second day of December.
In the early morning, as soon as it dawned, Qieye set out with hundreds of warriors, escorting various materials processed by the ant tribe, as well as some animal bones, teeth, herbs, stones and other goods obtained by hunting and collecting.
The way to the Vine Tribe.
The Ant Tribe is located on the outer territory of the Vine Tribe. Because they have no totem god and their ability to protect themselves is very weak, they can only rely on the Vine Tribe to survive for the time being.
"Everyone, please walk faster. When the sun rises, the Vine Tribe's trading area will open. If you arrive late, the good stuff will be picked up by people from other tribes..."
Qie Ye walked at the front with a stone spear in his hand. While guarding the surroundings, he shouted to the tribesmen who were responsible for transporting supplies.
Cutting the leaves made everyone move forward faster.
With the full spread of Vine Tribe's goods, the reputation of the Vine Tribe trading area has become more and more popular, and it has become more and more lively. The supply of various goods exceeds the demand. Many people have even gone to the Vine Tribe trading area to gain experience.
Be proud.
As a subordinate tribe next to the Vine tribe, the people of the Ant tribe feel this change most obviously.
When they first became a subordinate tribe, the people of the Ant Tribe felt awkward and even resistant, because they were once a large tribe with a long history, and everyone had heard countless stories about the glorious past of the tribe.
When the former glory faded away, the tribe fell apart, and even became a vassal of other tribes. This huge psychological gap made the people of the Ant Tribe feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, when they saw with their own eyes the power and richness of the Vine Tribe, and witnessed the various miracles created by the Vine Tribe, their mentality quietly changed, and some even began to yearn for the life of the Vine Tribe in order to own the Vine Tribe.
Take pride in the items produced by the tribe.
Now, they can't wait to rush to the Vine Tribe's trading area to pick up the good goods in the trading area before other tribes do.
The forest in the early morning was covered with dew, and by the time everyone walked outside the Vine Tribe, their lower bodies were basically soaked.
A large number of warriors from various tribes and a large number of tourists have gathered outside the Vine Tribe. Most of them are walking together. They seem to be standing in a messy manner, but in fact there are clear boundaries. Everyone stands close to their companions and their eyes are very alert.
.
Everyone in the ant tribe stood under the tall vine wall and looked up, only to see soft sunlight shining on the vine wall. The crystal dewdrops on the vine leaves shone in the sunlight, making it very dreamy.
"Get ready to open the door!"
On the tall vine wall, the vine tribe warriors shouted and blew their horns.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw an extremely shocking scene.
I saw the towering ancient tree-like sacred vine in the center of the vine tribe, stretching its branches and leaves toward the rising sun, blooming with a faint green divine light.
The terrifying divine power it inadvertently released made all the creatures around the Vine tribe feel their souls tremble, and they could not even think of a trace of blasphemy.
After Shen Teng woke up, the vine wall surrounding the entire tribe also changed rapidly.
"Kakaka..."
At the door, those thick vines seemed to come alive, twisting one after another, slowly unwinding from their tightly entangled state, and shrinking back.
Not long after, a huge doorway was formed on the vine wall, allowing people inside and outside the vine tribe to move around.
"The door is open, let's go!"
Qie Ye shouted, and then took the lead to walk into the doorway with excitement. The ant tribe members followed him carrying various goods, passed through the doorway, and went straight to the trading area.
After entering the Teng tribe, the first thing you see is a small canal surrounding the tribe. Where the canal flows, there are neat and wide fields.
The harvest of food crops has long been completed, but various leafy vegetables are still growing lush and lush, which is very gratifying.
Immediately afterwards, there are tall, spacious houses outside the fields. In addition to the common wooden houses, there are also mud brick houses unique to the Vine tribe.
Those who come to the Teng tribe for the first time will be deeply shocked by the mud brick houses, because they have never seen any tribe so extravagant, covering the entire roof with pottery.
Even the roads of the Vine Tribe are not the bumpy mud roads common to various tribes, but smooth roads paved with slag and gravel.
The roads in front and behind the house are even paved with large bluestones. It doesn't hurt your feet at all when you step on them. It's clean and beautiful.
Even though he had been here many times, Qieye was still shocked by everything the Teng tribe showed, especially those members of the Teng tribe who were obviously able to eat well and were obviously stronger than other tribes. He was even more envious.
"It would be great if the ant tribe could live like this in the future."
As Qie Ye ran towards the trading area, he sighed with emotion about what he saw along the way, and his heart was full of mixed emotions.
After arriving at the trading area, the door to the trading area was already open, and there was already a queue at the place where bronze sword coins were exchanged.
The tribesmen are used to being free and generally do not follow the rules, but in the Vine Tribe, as long as you still want to do business with the Vine Tribe, you must follow the rules of the Vine Tribe, otherwise you will be expelled immediately.
The ant tribe ran faster, and they didn't have to wait for a long time to cut leaves. Members of the vine tribe came over to help them count the goods and exchange them for bronze coins.
These Vine Tribe people were skilled in business and very fast. It didn't take long for them to count the number and weight of various goods.
In the end, Qie Ye received one hundred bronze sword coins.
According to the current rules of the Vine Tribe, a large sword coin can be exchanged for one hundred catties of round potatoes, or more than three catties of salt.
In other words, one hundred large sword coins can be exchanged for 10,000 catties of round potatoes, or more than three hundred catties of salt.
It sounds like this number is already quite large. It can be said that the Ant Tribe has gained a lot from this trip.
However, you must know that there are currently five to six thousand people in the ant tribe, and ten thousand kilograms of round potatoes are distributed to each person, not even two kilograms.
Although Qie Ye has never really learned arithmetic, he has done a lot of transactions, and he also knows how much money can buy a bunch of things.
Therefore, after getting a heavy bag of knife coins, he was not happy. Instead, he kept recalling what his father said to him before: Our life is difficult now, don't be greedy for those good things...
You don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, but when Qie Ye truly understood the living conditions of the ant tribe, he realized how difficult it was to lead a tribe to survive in this wild forest.
However, Qie Ye was not a person who only knew how to mourn spring and autumn. After a brief moment of worry, he took a deep breath and his eyes became firm again.
Now that the situation is like this, all he can do is to do his best to maintain the survival of his tribe, and then find ways to improve the tribe's living conditions.
"Come on, follow me in to buy something."
Qieye waved his hand, and then led the soldiers of the ant tribe into the trading area, searching for what he needed among the dazzling array of goods.
