After exchanging pleasantries, Hua Xi got straight to the point and asked, "Distinguished guests from afar, I wonder what items you have brought with us to trade with the Water Tribe?"
The chief of the Kani tribe took out a small bag of things wrapped in animal skin from his arms. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, he slowly opened the slipknot on the animal skin, revealing a small pile of crystal-clear snow-white crystal-like objects inside.
"Ah, salt?" Hua Xi secretly exclaimed, but her face was calm and she pretended not to understand and asked: "This, this is..."
"Ya, our tribe calls him ya," the leader of the Keni tribe replied, and continued to explain its use. Of course, Hua Xi only knew a lot more uses for salt than he knew. Hua Xi thought to himself: "It seems that primitive people
The pronunciation of salt is not very different from that of later generations."
Although the salt that Hua Xi had always wanted was right in front of him, in order to gain more leverage during the negotiation, Hua Xi looked at the little bag of darlings with a look like this, and then turned to ask the other two tribes what they wanted to use.
Things came in exchange
The Keni tribe members saw that Hua Xi didn't seem to know much about the use of this thing and didn't seem to be very interested. He felt anxious in his heart. Seeing that the weather was getting colder now, what if before the heavy snow closed the roads and mountains?
Without enough food, the tribe estimated that many members of the tribe would starve to death or freeze to death.
After seeing what happened to the Keni tribe, the two tribes, Sui and Wuniao, who were full of confidence just now, suddenly felt that the things in their hands did not seem to be important. When Hua Xi listened to the suggestions raised by the elders of the two tribes above,
After the items, Hua Xi really had little interest. The items proposed by the other party in exchange were animal skins and bone products. In addition to the salt from the Keni tribe, the items proposed by the other two clan tribes were almost universal in the Youshui tribe.
The people of the tribe were naked in the beginning, and now everyone can tell the number of animal skins in the water tribe by wearing an animal skin top.
Seeing that Hua Xi didn't even say a word this time, several tribal leaders became anxious and asked: "How is it, the distinguished leader of the Shui clan?"
Hua Xi pretended to think for a moment and said with a slight embarrassment: "The items you mentioned don't seem to be of much need to our tribe. Of course, I am a little interested in the salt proposed by the Keni tribe. After all, I have never seen the two of you.
Bit, I’m really sorry!”
When I heard about Youxi Shan (the leader of the Kani tribe), his tense face gradually relaxed after hearing the word "interest". The inexhaustible salt near the tribe can also be exchanged for a large amount of food needed by the tribe.
"This is really a costless business. Haha, the endless water can be exchanged for food just by surrounding it and letting it dry for a while. It seems that we will need to send more people when we return..." Shan, the leader of the Keni tribe, said.
I felt much more comfortable. I glanced at the other leaders who were silent and felt a sense of success in my heart.
"It's difficult...don't there be anything your tribe doesn't need?"
"Yes, tell me, maybe the weather will get colder in a few days, and it will be difficult for our tribe to survive without food..." At the end of the sentence, the two leaders actually sobbed in front of Hua Xi and Shan.
"Don't your two tribes have enough food to survive the winter? How did they survive in the past?" No need to guess, Hua Xi also knows that for tribes with low civilizations, it is difficult to catch prey simply relying on spears and stones. In addition,
After winter, the wild animals basically hide for the winter, so most primitive people prepare winter food before winter. But they talk as if the tribe has no food at all, so how did they get here before?
"Alas..." After hearing Hua Xi's confusion, he sighed heavily and looked at the ground dejectedly without saying a word.
"This?" Hua Xi looked at Li from the Suihuo clan in confusion. Li shook his head and said helplessly: "Originally, the food of our tribe was barely enough to support the tribe through the damn severe winter, although there are always some individual weaknesses.
They starved to death or froze to death, but the tribe was still able to continue... but..."
At this point, Li couldn't control his excitement, and after a while he said: "But not long ago, a tribe claiming to be the Kobold tribe came to our tribe.
The food, I...we are really..."
It's the Kobolds again, hum, one day I will kill you. After hearing this, Hua Xi didn't have any objection to their looting and killing behavior. After all, both primitive society and later generations have seen it a lot, but they have always been attacked by these people in their hearts.
I don't have a good impression of the Kobolds, but I still have to get rid of these clans and tribes at the moment, and I can even kill them, hehe...
"It turns out it was the kobolds who did something good!" Hua Xi raised her voice and said with a bit of indignation.
"Okay, good thing? You..." Hearing that Hua Xi actually said this as a good thing, the two leaders, Mao and Li, looked at each other angrily.
Oops, I forgot that we were in a primitive society. They couldn't understand the idioms and modern languages. When Hua Xi saw the other party's expression, he suddenly became angry. He cursed himself secretly and quickly explained: "No, no, no, the good thing I said is not
What I mean is that they are so hateful. Not only do they attack and harass us, they also attack you. Damn it."
"Ah, have they also attacked you? But it seems to me that your tribe..." Li, the leader of the Suihuo clan, had a puzzled look in his eyes, as if he didn't believe that the vibrant and busy tribe in front of him had not been attacked.
It seems that after the invasion of the other party, my tribe lost food and some production materials, and even the morale of the entire tribe was sluggish and decadent.
"Yes, but we have the Shui Tribe, a tribe favored by the gods. All the damn aliens who invaded our tribe were killed." At this point, Hua Xi still showed a pious attitude towards the gods, with a look of exhalation and raised eyebrows on his face.

"Ah, the tribe favored by the gods!" The primitive people felt fear and envy of the gods, the supreme beings that were passed down from the mouths of terrible wizards.
"Since you were attacked by those damn kobolds, that means we have friends from the water tribe as friends, so I will naturally provide some help to your tribe in terms of food," Hua Xi said
When the two leaders of the Black Bird Tribe and the Suihuo Tribe heard about the hope of exchange, they immediately thanked: "The great leader of the Shui Tribe, Xi, if our tribe can survive this cold winter, you will be the best and greatest of our tribe.

It seems that empty promises have been used by people in all eras, but for them, the credibility of such promises seems to be trustworthy.
