Chapter 112 Trading House (6)
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's find a place to settle down and then talk about it in detail." Yan Luo interrupted the conversation at the right time.
Everyone stopped talking and quietly packed up their stalls.
The trade fair does not provide caves, and the nearby caves are only for the use of the guards of the Rock Tribe, so people from other tribes can only spend the night in the valley.
The night wind is so cold that it makes people feel cold.
Arthur slowly narrated everything under the flickering firelight.
The few people who didn't go were filled with fear after hearing this. They couldn't imagine how everything would have ended if Yamaye hadn't shown up in time.
"Ugh... it hurts... it hurts so much..."
Although Ste did not wake up, his brows were furrowed in his dream, and his groans of pain seemed particularly harsh in the silent night, as if every sound was knocking at one's heart.
Nia stayed in the stall and had no idea what was going on.
Now everything was clear. He looked at Ster, who was curled up on the animal skin, with complicated eyes, feeling mixed emotions.
He couldn't help but ask himself: Knowing that this kid Ster was the same as me, why did I let him go anyway?
Yan Luo obviously didn't want Ster to go with him. If he hadn't acted on his own initiative, would all this have happened?
Then, Ster wouldn't be hurt...
Not only Nia but also Yanluo felt guilty.
He is also responsible for this matter.
Originally, clan leader Chen Qi did not intend to agree to Ster's request.
After all, it was clear at a glance that this kid just wanted to go out and have some fun.
Finally, he told Shen Qi that there were many warriors sent out this time, and with Lei Li, an experienced warrior, they would be traveling together, so there shouldn't be too many problems with safety, and they could take this opportunity to let Ster gain some experience.
Only then did Shen Qi reluctantly nod his head in agreement.
Since migrating here, the tribesmen were unfamiliar with the environment and animals of the Dusk Rock Forest, and were frequently attacked by wild beasts during hunting, resulting in the loss of many warriors. Later, due to disease and other reasons, the number of tribesmen decreased, and now only a small group of people are left to support the tribe.
Chen Qi was afraid that the tribe would be destroyed because of this, so after the last female warrior, Kana's mother, died in a hunting accident, he no longer allowed the women, children, and elders in the tribe to leave the inner circle of the tribe.
Therefore, Ster has almost always stayed in the tribe since he was born and has never set foot in the world outside the tribe.
On the surface, he looks lively, cheerful and heartless, but in fact, he was beaten since he was a child after his elder sister left the tribe.
After gathering, the children in the tribe have nothing to do all day, so it is normal for them to fight. They generally don't interfere with these things.
I can’t even fill my stomach, so why would I care about these things?
Besides, in the tribe, fighting is a way to nourish the blood!
I didn't expect that Ster, unlike Blackstone and the others, had developed a timid character. After getting the wooden crossbow, he became a little braver.
But now this has become a bad thing...
Ster is just like Nia when he was young. Once he gained a little confidence, he became a little arrogant and spoke without thinking.
Not to mention, among the people traveling together this time, only Ster had never seen the cruel world outside the tribe...
Lan Xi and Hei Shi had already started going out with the hunting team, and even Xi Qi had followed Wu Yu out of the tribe.
Just as Wu Xiqi said, all this ultimately came down to the fact that the clan leader and everyone else had overprotected the cubs in the past, which led to the current situation.
Although Ster was wrong, and the people of the Rock Tribe were also wrong, they also have an unshirkable responsibility.
In other words, if I had been more cautious and not made enemies with Man Feng, I wouldn't have had so many troubles...
"Ugh……"
Thinking of Man Feng's cold eyes when he left, Yan Luo couldn't help but sigh.
I'm afraid this matter won't end easily...
I don’t know how Manfeng will report the matter of the pottery jar to Chief Shanyan?
Originally, Ster's reason could barely make up the story - after all, other tribes already had pottery jars before Wu Xiqi taught them, otherwise where did the pottery in the woman's hand come from?
But no one would have expected that the meticulous Chief Shanyan would secretly send people to monitor the Yanyuan Tribe, and perhaps the targets of the monitoring were far more than just the Yanyuan Tribe.
I have to go back to the tribe as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with the tribe leader...
Nishi Ichisu, who was staring up at the sky in a trance, had the same idea.
As the saying goes, "Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade."
This was the first time she truly felt the oppression from other tribes. Compared to hearing about it, personal experience can make people more deeply understand the pain and helplessness.
She originally thought that the Rock Tribe simply had more people.
They are a primitive tribe with backward weapons. What is there to be afraid of?
As long as the Yanyuan tribe is well prepared, Chief Shanyan should be able to properly deal with their plans for the Yanyuan tribe before winter comes, but... will they still have such an opportunity?
She knew that these primitive people were not stupid, and that Chief Shanyan was a shrewd man, but she had never expected that the old chief's mind was so meticulous...
She was still feeling complacent, thinking that she had successfully fooled Shanye and gained room for development for the Yanyuan tribe.
Little did they know that Chief Shanyan had already seen through this childish trick.
Can the dozens of old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant people in the tribe really defend that piece of broken land with just a wooden crossbow or other crude weapons?
Even if it was just a leader under the command of the Mountain Rock Chief, they would find it difficult to resist. The opponent's strength was enough to easily crush them, and even if they used human wave tactics, they could easily engulf the Yanyuan tribe...
Xi Yiqi lowered his head and stared at the flickering flames in front of him, his eyes dark.
Unless we can create a weapon of mass destruction that can turn the tide of the war, there may still be a glimmer of hope.
But how easy is it to create powerful weapons in primitive society?
Not to mention how complicated the manufacturing process is, just the required materials are difficult to gather.
In this era of information blockage and backward tools, more than a month passed before we could find potatoes, corn, pine resin and other basic supplies for survival.
Time waits for no one, and Chief Shanyan will not give them the time to develop slowly.
We must find another way out!
With trembling hands, she dug into the soil with force, and waves of pain came from between her nails.
"I have to stay alive. Only by staying alive can I return to the modern era. Nothing else matters..." Only she could hear the soft murmur.
"We have almost exchanged our things. Let's set off for the tribe tomorrow morning." Yan Luo's low voice suddenly sounded.
Now that everything has been replaced, there is no need to keep anything.
After this happened, everyone was not in a good mood. No one said anything and they all agreed with a blank look on their faces.
At this point, everyone was ready to rest as they had to continue their journey tomorrow.
Although we sleep in the valley, it is relatively safe because there are fences and rock warriors guarding it.
Nishi Ichiki was full of worries and couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was in a mess...
Arthur also suffered from insomnia. He was sitting by the fire, motionless, obviously in a daze.
What was he thinking about?
Is it related to Yamaha?
