"Ah? Do you need to exchange something?"

"Yes, otherwise we won't be able to cross this river again in a short time. After crossing that river, we may not come back until a long time later."

"Is that so? Okay, what do you want to exchange?" Li Wu said helplessly.

"Well - animal skins, we can also exchange other things from the Han tribe. Give me five complete animal skins, and I will send someone to send you a message in a few days." You Fu thought for a while and said.

"Ah? So expensive, can you wait until you send a message?"

Li Wu suddenly felt that it was not worth it. He felt that You Fu seemed to be a liar. What if he took the animal skins and never came back? Also, what if those missing tribesmen came back by themselves in the past few days? At that time, he couldn't give him five animal skins, wouldn't that be too much of a loss?

"Well, how about you give me two first, and we can get the remaining three when we deliver the message?"

"Okay, come on, go get two animal skins for this chief."

Li Wu finally compromised. There was no other way. Dozens of the adult laborers of the tribe left at once, and he had no confidence to speak.

Just like that, You Fu continued to march towards the Han tribe with the deposit for two animal skins. He wanted to deliver these piglets to Luo Chong as soon as possible.

That afternoon, the Han tribe's main force returned from the north back mountain. The warriors returned triumphantly, and the tribe celebrated together, but the mood of the thirty or so Li tribe members who were held by the big tree sank to the bottom.

It was over, everything was over. The Han tribe was so powerful, and now they all came back. The fate of the Li tribe was all in the mind of the Han chief. Rebellion?

It was impossible. All the adults of the Li tribe were not as many as the captives brought by the Han tribe this time. How could they resist? The difference in strength was too great.

That night, the Han tribe held a grand celebration under the leadership of the elders and the rat witch, but it was just a dinner for more than 2,000 people.

The next day, the top leaders decided to resume the tribe's previous work, but now it mainly focuses on farming and construction.

Twenty or thirty people were set aside to guard the prisoners, and these people could only be arranged after Luo Chong returned; in addition, the hunting team of 20 people led by Shitou continued to hunt and patrol, and delivered the victory report to the southwest tribe to lift the war alert.

The logging team of hundreds of people also picked up their tools again and went to the forest farm in the west to cut wood. The Han tribe still had to continue to build houses, burn charcoal, and store fuel.

The women also began to go out to collect food and building materials for the Han tribe, such as grass for roofing, but now there is not much shortage, because the Han tribe harvested more than 60 acres of rice before, and the straw left was enough to cover many roofs.

The remaining hundreds of tribesmen who were originally members of the construction team now stopped building houses and began to work hard to plough the fields and sow the second season of rice. The rice harvested by the Han tribe before had been dried by the women in the square and packed in sacks, and now stored in the rough houses.

They haven't started eating yet, because Luo Chong hasn't taught everyone how to remove the rice husks and how to steam rice. In addition, they have to separate the second season of rice seeds from it, and the tribesmen don't know how much they will use. Their biggest task now is to plow the 60 acres of land that had just been harvested before Luo Chong comes back.

On the third day after the large group returned, Luo Chong and his group had already walked along the river to the Dark Forest, which made Luo Chong overjoyed. Although the river turned a corner on the second day, it still led to the Han tribe in the end, and it belonged to the same vein as the river next to the Han tribe.

As long as they continue to walk along this river, they can return to the Han tribe in another day and see the small bridge belonging to the Han tribe.

It was also in the afternoon of the same day that Youfu, who had been out exploring for two months, arrived at the east side of the wooden bridge of the Han tribe with 56 spotted pigs of various sizes.

"The You tribe is back, the You tribe is back, and they brought dozens of small animals with spotted skins. Uncle Lin, the You tribe is back, just over there on the bridge, go and have a look, they brought a lot of small animals back."

Qubing, who was still fishing with his mother at the riverside, saw from a distance that the You tribe was coming towards the wooden bridge with dozens of pigs. He immediately rode on Benben, who was grazing nearby, and trotted all the way to the field to call Dashu. After all, among the three men with metal crowns in the Han tribe, Qubing was the most familiar with Dashu, except Luo Chong.

"Oh, it's Qubing, what did you say? The You tribe is back?"

Dashu, who was plowing the field barefoot, saw that it was Qubing riding Benben, and immediately smiled and asked him kindly.

There was no way, this child was too smart, he learned everything quickly, and he was sweet-mouthed, very lovable.

"Yes, yes, they have already reached the bridge. I also saw them bringing back a lot of small animals. They walked with a swaying gait and humming, like the wild boars we caught."

Qubing rode on Benben's back and described the small animals to Dashu with gestures and words.

"Oh, really? They brought back so many small animals. Let's go and have a look. The leader has always been thinking about expanding the scale of breeding. Let's see what kind of small animals they brought."

Hearing what Qubing said, Dashu immediately became interested. He walked to the canal in the field to wash the mud off his feet, and then walked towards the wooden bridge in his straw sandals.

Youfu's team had also arrived at the wooden bridge. The women who were fishing by the river saw that it was the You tribe, so they did not stop them. They were also very happy to see that the You tribe brought back so many small flower pigs, because the You tribe often made large transactions with the Han tribe. I guess these small flower pigs were also what they wanted to trade with the Han tribe, otherwise why would they bring them here.

It was not easy to drive the pigs across the bridge. The wooden bridge had only one flat board, and there were no decent guardrails on both sides. There were only two thick hemp ropes tied to the bridge piles. That thing could protect adults, but it could not protect the piglets who had just been weaned.

They rushed over and were easily squeezed off the bridge. In the end, there was no other way. The fishing team sent out more than a dozen women, who stood on both sides of the bridge as human guardrails. Youfu then let the ten girls from the Lu tribe drive the pigs over. The last six big pigs were dragged from the east bank by everyone. Those pigs seemed to be afraid of crossing the bridge.

Dashu had also come to the wooden bridge. As soon as he walked over, a group of small flower pigs rushed down from the bridge, which made him very happy. After a while, Youfu, who was riding a horned deer, also walked over the bridge with the deer.

"Welcome back, our friend." Dashu was in a good mood and greeted Youfu enthusiastically.

"Thank you. I got these from a tribe called Lu Tribe in exchange for the white salt you gave me. Their tribe breeds these flower beasts, so since you also breed animals, I'll bring some back for you.

There are also two kinds of plants that can be eaten by humans, but they were originally used by the Lu Tribe to feed these flower beasts. They don't taste very good to humans, but Chief Luo Chong specifically asked for a plant with large leaves, so I still brought it back."

You Fu and Da Shu walked side by side, introducing him to the harvest of their trip.

"Hahahaha, don't worry, you brought so many good things to our tribe this time. Whatever you want, our Han tribe will try its best to satisfy you." Da Shu also said generously on the side.

"Haha, it's my duty to find things for you. After all, we are friends. Well, but this, I really want some things, but maybe only your Chief Luo Chong can decide. By the way, where is Chief Luo Chong? Why don't I see him?"

"Oh, what reward do you want, or something that only our chief can decide?" Da Shu still asked tentatively with a smile on his face.

"I want your house, can you agree to it for him?"
