Shen Huaijin indulged in a sweet dreamland, until the sound of birdsong sounded, and the fine sunlight passed through the gap of the tree house and gently sprinkled on his body.

His eyelids fluttered slightly, and he opened his eyes to greet the first rays of sunlight this morning.Outside the window, the vines were entwined, and the green leaves were breezy. He was so comfortable that he forgot when and where. He just wanted to lie down lazily for a while.

squeak-

The wooden door is opened.

Li lowered his head slightly, and walked into the room, holding a glass of clear water in his hand.

"woke up?"

"En." Shen Huaijin slowly got up, speaking with a nasal voice, "When is it, are you all up?"

Li handed clear water to Shen Huaijin's mouth, held his chin with one hand, and fed the water in little by little.

Shen Huaijin has a bad stomach, and occasionally retches when she wakes up early, so she needs to drink water to suppress it.

"Qi has already brought everyone to the fair. I don't think there is anything wrong, so I will come and see you first. How is your body recovering?"

Shen Huaijin got up and stretched, smiled, "That's right, did you give me a massage last night?"

Li put the cup aside, "Otherwise you will be sore all over again."

There was a shout from under the tree, Shen Huaijin tidied up her clothes, took the stick, and went down the tree with Li.

It was indeed Qi standing under the tree.

"Great witch of the Great River Tribe, our leader invites you to come over."

Shen Huaijin nodded, "Thank you, Qi, please lead the way. By the way, my name is Jin, you don't have to call me that."

Qi Cong is kind, "Jin Wu, come with me."

Li asked in a low voice, "Do you need me to accompany you?"

Shen Huaijin patted his forearm and smiled back.

"It's okay, I can do it alone. You go and watch Qi and the others, remember not to be bullied by others, and you are not allowed to initiate trouble."

Shen Huaijin followed Qi to the tree house in the center, and on the way, he saw a market not far away, which occupied a large open space, and saw the bustle of people, and everyone had their own stalls.

Qi turned around and introduced while leading the way: "Is this the first time for Jinwu to go to the market? There are orcs in charge of order in the market, and no tribe dares to cause trouble, because if they are discovered, they will not be able to participate in any market in the future." .”

Shen Huaijin smiled, "That's pretty good."

Qi brought Shen Huaijin to the largest tree house in the central area, and standing under the tree was Gan, the leader of the Damori tribe.

He was tall, dark-skinned, and had a long scar on his face across the corner of his eye. He looked fierce, but he didn't speak as fiercely as he looked.

They exchanged polite greetings with each other, they spoke in a measured manner, and asked a lot about Xiu, but they didn't mention any abnormality visible to the naked eye on Shen Huaijin's body, and let Shen Huaijin take it easy after a few chats.

Shen Huaijin was happy and relaxed, holding a wooden stick, riding the wind, and walked towards the market calmly.

The market is in the open space not far from the tree house, covering an area of ​​about [-] mu. Each tribe has allocated a small area for the things they bring to be arranged one by one.

People who participated in the market shuttled between the stalls, looking for what they wanted, and chatting with the stall owners to exchange conditions.

The bazaar was full of people, but most of them were orcs. As soon as Shen Huaijin entered the bazaar, this beautiful and strangely dressed sub-beast attracted everyone's attention.

Shen Huaijin didn't look sideways, and didn't pay attention to those probing gazes at all. She searched the crowd, found the direction, raised her legs and walked away.

If Li Zai felt something in the crowd, he raised his head and looked in Shen Huaijin's direction. As soon as he saw him, his eyes lit up.He told Qi Heshu to watch the booth carefully, and got up to pick up Shen Huaijin.

Li took Shen Huaijin's hand and hugged him into his arms, not concealing his possessive desire for him at all, so as to dispel the eager eyes around him.

The sun is in full bloom, and even in the forest, people can feel the burning heat.Li took out the clean straw rope that he carried with him, and helped Shen Huaijin tie up her half-length black hair.

"Have you talked to the leader?"

Shen Huaijin let him play around, "Well, I just said a few polite words and didn't say anything. He doesn't seem to be as thoughtful as Xiao."

Li fiddled with Shen Huaijin's little tucker, and led him to the Dahe Tribe's booth, "That's good, so you won't have to spend your energy on dealing with it."

Shen Huaijin nodded lazily, "It's good that every leader I meet is like this, I'm really too lazy to socialize. By the way, how many things brought by the tribe have been exchanged?"

At this time, they had already walked to the booth of the Dahe Tribe, and Li pointed to the things on the booth, and introduced: "Most of the clay pots have been exchanged out. Same as last time, one clay pot is exchanged for a bag of salt. Sugar and I didn't even take out the sweater, I'll wait for you to decide."

Shen Huaijin raised her chin, "Take two cans of sugar, and we'll find someone to exchange for rice."

Rin said before that the person who made an appointment to find rice for him was a big boy named Yuan. Although he was underage, he went to Tianheyuan to go to the market with him because he was the son of the leader of the Omori tribe.

Li asked the way, and led Shen Huaijin to Yuan's tree house.

There is a device on the tree house of the tribal residents. As long as the person under the tree shakes, the people in the tree house can hear the sound.Shen Huaijin raised her hand and shook it lightly, and soon, a head popped out of the tree house above her head.

A dark and thin young man stepped on the tree trunk two or three times and fell from the tree.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Yuan's face was still suspicious.

Shen Huaijin smiled slightly and explained: "We are from the Dahe Tribe. I am Da Wujin, and this is Li. Rin from the Dahe Tribe once made an agreement with you. He asked us to ask you if you found the plant he wanted?"

Yuan was obviously young, and couldn't hide his emotions like his beast father, and now his face was filled with joy, "It turned out that Rin called, I have already prepared rice, and I am waiting for you!"

Shen Huaijin's face remained unchanged, "We have to look first to determine whether it is rice."

Yuan Chao looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, and whispered: "Of course, go, come with me."

The black and thin boy led them to turn left and right until they arrived at the edge of a small dry mound. After digging a few times, Yuan made a hole in the ground.

Shen Huaijin took a closer look, and it turned out to be a place similar to a cellar. I didn't expect the Dasen tribe to come up with this method of storing food, which is "advanced".

Shen Huaijin praised secretly in her heart, but her eyes were fixed on the handfuls of plants that Yuan threw out.

These one-meter-tall plants bear long, flattened leaves and panicles of many spikelets with curved spikes and golden-yellow grains.

It really is rice!

Shen Huaijin took two plants and observed them carefully. One of them was obviously thinner and elongated, while the other was round and plump.Although he can recognize the rice, he really doesn't know the specific difference, so he has to go back and compare the pictures in the data to classify it.

But no matter what, it is undoubtedly rice.

Shen Huaijin was overjoyed, but her tone was still calm, "How many more plants are there?"

Yuan shrugged, "That's all. I've only seen a small piece here. If I didn't have sharp eyes and a good memory, Rin might not even have these!"

Shen Huaijin gently threw the two rice plants back into the straw pile, then clapped her palms, and said after a long time, "This is indeed the plant that Rin wants. So Yuan, what do you want to exchange, pottery or salt?"

Yuan grinned, showing two rows of big white teeth, "These weeds are nothing, I can give them to you directly, but you have to exchange what I have on hand first."

What a cunning little devil, Shen Huaijin was noncommittal, "Let me see your things first."

Yuan happily agreed, turned his head and went into the cellar, and after a while, he slowly brought out a jar.

The seal of the jar was not strong, Shen Huaijin smelled a familiar smell almost at the same time as the original came out.

He raised his eyebrows, "What is this?"

"It's wine."

Shen Huaijin was suspicious, did the Dasen tribe already know how to make wine from rice?Now that he knows the value of rice, why give him the rice?

Yuan lifted the lid, and Shen Huaijin could see clearly.

He immediately understood that it contained fruit wine!

There are many wild fruits in the forest, which must be one of their main sources of food. Occasionally, alcohol is produced after being left for a long time, so it is not surprising that the people of the Omori tribe discovered this strange and fascinating drink.

Li smiled and asked, "I saw this kind of thing at the Dasen tribe's booth, boy, did you steal it?"

"That's not it!" Yuan frowned all of a sudden, and then muttered in a low voice: "This is the method I came up with, of course I will get a can."

Shen Huaijin smiled, and immediately understood that this kid probably discovered the method of brewing fruit wine by accident, and told the tribe. The Dasen tribe did not implement the food sharing system like the Dahe tribe, so they directly took away the original method.

Yuan's can of fruit wine should have an unreliable origin, but he was able to "steal" the precious wine. It is not difficult to guess that it came from the connivance of the tribe. After all, he offered the method, and he was the son of the leader.

It's just that Shen Huaijin didn't intend to tell Yuan this guess. He took a few steps and said slowly, "The only thing we want are those plants. It's not that we can't have this jar of wine, but it's a pity that we have been drinking since morning. I started to set up a stall, and most of the things have been exchanged, and now I don’t have much on hand.”

Yuan didn't expect it to come out like this, he was a little dumbfounded, and said in a low voice: "This wine is very precious, my father bought a lot of salt with it..."

Shen Huaijin shrugged, with a rather helpless expression, "There is no other way, or you can also put the wine on the booth, maybe some new tribes are interested."

Originally a little anxious, I reached out to grab Shen Huaijin's arm.

"That won't work! Otherwise, tell me how many things you have left that you can exchange with me."

Li stopped him, frowning, with a ferocious face, "Boy, tell us first, why are you in such a hurry to exchange this can of wine?"

Yuan pursed his lips, and then said: "My Apa is not in good health, I want to exchange this bottle of wine for something good for him."

Li's arm loosened from holding him, and his complexion became a little abnormal.

Shen Huaijin patted Li on the shoulder, told him to step aside, and said to Yuan Wen, "I still have something left in my hand. Although it can't heal the body, it can make the beast feel better after eating it. Do you want to see it?" ?”

Yuan's eyes lit up, "What is it?!"

Shen Huaijin signaled Li to take out a jar of candy and show it to him.

"This is?"

Yuan looked curiously at the black and red candies in the jar, which looked like mud, what use could it be?

Shen Huaijin twisted a small piece and handed it to him, "Try it."

Yuan took the candy and hesitated before putting it in his mouth. An indescribable taste blossomed on the tip of his tongue, which surprised him instantly.

"This is called sugar. What you taste is sweetness. Occasionally eating some will make people happy and happy. It can be soaked in water to drink, you can directly swallow a small piece, and of course you can cook it. Yuan, would you like to exchange These?"

Yuan stammered, "Tang... yes, of course!"

Shen Huaijin made a decision: "Then this jar of sugar will be exchanged for your jar of wine. Yuan, can you help me break down the grains from these plants and pile them together? If you want, I can give you a few more pieces of sugar .”

Yuan shook his head, Shen Huaijin was stunned, thinking he was troublesome, but unexpectedly the other party looked up with tears in his eyes, "Jin Wu, your candy is really delicious, of course I am willing to help you thresh the millet, I don't need you to give it away I candy."

Shen Huaijin couldn't help laughing, she didn't expect this child who looked cunning at first to be so cute.

"Thank you very much, Yuan."
