"I've brought it, don't worry, the two cars behind are full of goods, I guarantee you won't use them all, as long as you have enough pigs, I can give you as many as you want."

Youfu and Ju walked side by side, talking as they headed towards the residence of the Lu tribe. When they

arrived, everyone dismounted to rest, and the Lu tribe also took out some water and fruits to entertain the guests. Ju knew that Youfu had brought enough goods, so he was no longer in a hurry and began to observe the changes in Youfu and his group.

"My friend, you are rich this time, you actually have two cars. To be honest, you didn't exchange them with the pigs I gave you and the ten girls, did you? It seems that our pigs are more valuable than you thought. I exchanged so many good things for you, you are not cheating both sides, right? Anyway, shouldn't our pigs be exchanged for more things this time?" Ju looked at Youfu and said.

"How is that possible? Chief Lu is overthinking. How much does it take to exchange for a car? How would you know? It took more than 100 people to buy the car I brought last time. With just your pigs, we may not even be able to exchange for a car, let alone an ox to pull the car."

"What are you doing?"

"I brought my entire tribe to join the Han tribe that can build cars. Now I'm a small leader of the Han tribe. These riding beasts and cars are all distributed by our tribe. They were specially used to let me come out to trade this time and exchange some things for the tribe.

Do you see this thing on my head? Only the tribal leaders who took the initiative to join the Han tribe have it. It's called a crown. We have several people in the Han tribe wearing this crown.

Oh, by the way, in addition to exchanging things this time, there is one more thing I want to tell you. We may not pass here often in the future."

"Ah? You won't come in the future?! What if we ask you to exchange things in the future?" Ju asked anxiously again.

"Don't be anxious, listen to me first. Our leader said that we will hold a market regularly in our Han tribe. If you want to exchange things in the future, you can go there directly to trade." You Fu explained hurriedly.

"Market? What is a market?" Ju asked puzzled.

"It is a gathering of many tribes. It is held once every month and lasts for seven days. During the market, the tribes that come here can trade with our Han tribe, or trade with other tribes. In general, it is a gathering for various tribes to trade goods." You Fu explained in detail.

"Oh - that is to say, if we want to exchange things in the future, we have to go to the Han tribe ourselves to trade. How far is the Han tribe? How long does it take to go back and forth? What does the Han tribe sell? What do we have to exchange?" Ju seemed to understand and hurriedly asked about the rules of the market.

"It will take about a month to walk from your place to the Han tribe. As for what we trade, we can use animal skins, seeds of edible food, or some strange stones if our leader likes them.

We also sell a lot of things, such as pottery, wooden barrels, white salt, sacks, and linen. If it's next year, we will have other good things to sell, such as iron pots, iron spoons, kitchen knives, scissors and other metal items, but they may be more expensive." You Fu introduced.

"Iron pots? Iron spoons? Linen? What are they? Are they edible too?"

"No, iron pots are used to cook things just like pottery pots, but they are made of metal, so they won't break when they fall, and they are more practical, and they are similar to the material of the weapons we use.

In addition, linen is cloth, which can be used to make clothes, just like the one I'm wearing, which is made of linen. It can be worn except in winter, and it's lighter than animal skins, and it's breathable and comfortable to wear. However, there are not many of us in the Han tribe now, and there should be more next year."

You Fu and Ju kept discussing the market and commodity trading, and discussed the specific transaction amount this time. The Lu tribe was willing to exchange 60 pigs for pottery and white salt, but this was the last transaction this year, but You Fu did not agree immediately, because he had to go further, and could only take 60 pigs on the way back, otherwise he couldn't take dozens of pigs on the expedition.

"Leader Lu, I think it's better to prepare those pigs first, and I can give you some of the pottery and white salt first, and I'll pay you the rest when I go back from here, and then I'll take the pigs away, what do you think?" You Fu suggested.

"Are you still going south? How long will it take to come back?" Ju asked curiously.

"Yes, if we continue to go south, it will take about a month to go there and back. If we are later, we may not be able to make it back to the tribe.

Hey? By the way, Chief Lu, do you know what is there to the south from your place? Are there many tribes there? What kind of tribes are they? Is the road easy to travel? Are there any special products there? For example, what do the tribes there eat? Are there any tribes that raise livestock like you?" You Fu nodded and said.

"This, I really don't know. We don't usually go to such a far place, and we have to release pigs every day, so we can't leave. But I heard from the dead old man in the tribe that our tribe moved from the south a long time ago. There is a place full of water there, and you can't see the end at a glance, but I haven't seen it. I was born here." Ju looked up at the sky, as if trying to recall something.

"A place full of water? Is it a big river? Or a particularly large lake?" You Fu became interested in this place and asked Ju in detail.

"I really don't know. I haven't been there either. I just heard about it from the old people in the tribe. Now that the old man is dead, I don't know any more. I think you should go and see it yourself."

The leader of the tribe, Ju, didn't know the details either. Youfu had no choice but to take people to see it for himself. However, Youfu had been running around outside for many years before. According to his intuition, there should be a lot of people in this place full of water. After all, water is the source of life. Whether it is human beings or other animals, there must be more people in places with more water.

If we can successfully reach that place this time, we will definitely have some gains. We may see a lot of useful animals at that time. Even if there are no useful animals, there must be a lot of people. At that time, we can at least trade some goods with them and exchange some things needed for the Han tribe.

Having made up his mind, Youfu left some pottery and white salt for the tribe of Lu as a deposit, and then led the team to continue to head south. They didn't have much time. They had been out for nearly a month now, and they would have to start their return journey in at most half a month.

Time was short and the mission was heavy. Youfu's team hardly stopped in the following days, heading all the way to the place where there was said to be a lot of water.
