Original War

Chapter 357

After leaving the Maca tribe, Shao Xuan also saw people from other tribes who were out, but they did not go with them. Those people were very defensive against Shao Xuan, probably because they were carrying some goods and worried that Shao Xuan would snatch them.

Shao Xuan also had the experience of traveling. He knew that the team would reject him when he met a stranger in the middle, so he didn’t get up there, but just asked about it at a distance of about twenty meters.

Seeing that Shao Xuan didn’t mean to get closer, the other party hurriedly left after reluctantly answering Shao Xuan’s two questions.

Shao Xuan only asked about the geographical shape of the surrounding area, but the other party’s answer was too brief, and Shao Xuan could only combine the news he inquired from the Maca tribe to figure out where he was going.

Here, there are tribes and there are places under the jurisdiction of slave owners, but tribesmen and slave owners do not have too many contradictory relations, and there will not always be conflicts like the sea. Many tribesmen even often go to the cities under the control of slave owners to trade. For them, this is a very common thing. For example, in the Maca tribe, there are often long-distance teams going to the nearest city to exchange things for cloth, copper weapons, and so on.

However, Shao Xuan did not intend to wander around the slave owners’ land. What he wants to know most now is whether the other half of the Yanjiao tribe is here?

If the Yanhorn people’s preferences have not changed, they will probably be more inclined to the mountains and forests, especially where there are many fierce beasts. As there are more people, there will naturally be fewer wild beasts and beasts. Therefore, Shao Xuan plans to try his luck in places with few people in the mountains and forests.

After inquiring about the surrounding geography, Shao Xuan tied the rope to divination again, determined a position, and went over there. He only figured out the approximate direction, and didn’t figure out the distance, so he could only go there.

At the beginning, I could see some people traveling far away every two days, but gradually, the number of people I saw was a lot less, and the land became desolate. Although the surrounding mountains and forests are wide, I don’t know if it is due to the soil quality. The plants are not luxuriant, and there are not many stout trees.

Shao Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the slightly desolate mountains surrounding him. He didn’t change his route. He planned to pass between the valleys. He listened carefully to the surrounding movement, except for the calls of some birds and small beasts. No other dangerous sounds were heard. The calls of the birds and beasts were relatively peaceful, and there was no panic. Relatively speaking, it should be considered safe.

Occasionally there was a stream in the valley. Shao Xuan kept walking along the route and direction. When he reached a stream, he saw someone lying on the edge of the water with his head resting by the stream. When the stream passed by, He rushed to the opponent’s face, and his gray hair was scattered in the water, swaying with the stream.

Shao Xuan wouldn’t take care if the other party had already died, but that person still had a breath of life, just a little weak.

After exploring in the past, Shao Xuan discovered that this was an old man with many folds on his face, which was older than it looked from the back. There is no serious trauma, except for the fracture of the right arm bone, other parts of the body are fine.

This person is dressed in a gray cloth, and I don’t know how much he has gone through. The clothes are in tatters, only a little better than when Shao Xuan was just here. There are several small copper knives in the weapon. The knives are different in shape, but they are all small. They don’t look like they are used as Hidden Weapons. I don’t know what they are used for. There is also a bag wrapped around his waist. The bag is made of animal skins. Looking at the leather, there are also fierce beasts. The skin of ordinary beasts will not be so strong.

Taking a closer look, Shao Xuan carefully turned the person over and moved away from the stream.

Shao Xuan couldn’t wake up when he called, and there was no movement when he slapped. Shao Xuan’s eyes fell on the animal skin bag on the other’s waist, and he reached out and poked there. When the opponent was lying on the edge of the stream, his uninjured left arm kept protecting it. Even when he turned it over, his arm did not leave. This is a subconscious behavior, indicating that the animal skin bag is coming to this person. Said it has a very important meaning.

When Shao Xuan reached out and poked at the animal skin bag, the opponent did not wake up, but the muscles on his face moved.

After poking again, the other party suddenly opened his eyes, with defensive and murderous eyes in his bloodshot eyes, he pushed his elbows to the ground and quickly rolled twice in the direction away from Shao Xuan, and then hit the big rock next to him. , Shao Xuan felt pain for him. Why be so excited.

Fortunately, the person had not fainted, and after a few “hum” pains, the person wanted to reach out to touch his bruised forehead, but his right arm was injured and his left arm was protected by the animal skin bag. He moved his left arm and thought. Underneath, he returned to its original place and continued to protect it with the animal skin bag, allowing the blood on his forehead to flow down, but his eyes were staring at Shao Xuan, for fear that Shao Xuan would come over to grab something.

“Don’t worry, I won’t grab it.” Shao Xuan said when he saw him like this.

At such an old age, I don’t know why I fainted by the stream, and I just woke up and bumped my head on the stone again.

The other party’s spirit relaxed a little, but the defense still didn’t take off.

“If you want to rob me, have you waited until now? Besides, even if I want to rob now, can you stop me?” Shao Xuan said.

Oh too. The defensiveness in the gray-haired old man’s eyes was taken off a little, and the murderous intent when he first woke up also faded, his mind was still a little dizzy, he moved his nose slowly, and looked at Shao Xuan: “You have meat on your body?”

The interrogative sentence has a very positive tone.

Shao Xuan reached out and threw a piece of jerky from the bag, and asked, “Why did you faint here?”

The old man hurriedly caught the jerky thrown by Shao Xuan, smelled it, his eyes were a little disgusting, but he didn’t move slowly, took a few bites quickly, and utterly replied Shao Xuan’s words: “Hungry.”

I thought it was poisoning or some other reason, but I didn’t expect the answer to be hungry.

After quickly eating the piece of jerky that Shao Xuan gave, the old man looked at Shao Xuan again: “Is there any more?”

Shao Xuan took out a piece again, but didn’t pass it over immediately, but said: “You answer a few questions first, and I will give you the meat in your hand.”

The old man frowned, did not speak, and seemed unhappy.

Shao Xuan didn’t care either. He raised his finger and asked, “Walking over there, how long will I see the dense woods?”

After hearing Shao Xuan’s question, the old man’s frowning brows loosened, and he thought it was the problem. It turned out to be this.

“I don’t know, I haven’t been, and I’ve been here for the first time. However, as far as I know, it is impossible for you to see the dense woods for at least two days. They are all the same here.” The old man replied , “This is a famous wasteland. There is not even a tribe. Even if you walk in for two days, you won’t see other people.”

Passing the meat to the old man, Shao Xuan washed his face by the stream and continued on his way. This old man was energetic after eating the meat, and he could leave without Shao Xuan’s nosy.

However, Shao Xuan didn’t take a few steps, and the old man’s voice came from behind him.

“Hey, wait a minute! That little brother!”

Just now he was on guard like a thief, and now the “little brother” cried out affectionately. Generally speaking, when it is so affectionate, there must be other intentions.

Shao Xuan turned around and asked the other party what was going on.

The old man got up from the ground, looked around, his eyes stayed in one place, and he happily pointed to the side: “There, just the white-stranded grass, you can pick it off for me.”

Listen to this tone, the posture of a commander. Looking at the place where the old man was pointing, on the mountain wall almost 90 degrees perpendicular to the ground, at least 30 meters above the ground, several half-armed grasses with white stripes grew there.

Shao Xuan wanted to turn his head and leave, but when he saw the other party, he didn’t seem to realize that his tone was wrong. Shao Xuan thought about it and shook his head. What exactly does the grass do?

In such a strange place, it is always good to know more.
