Chapter 439: Getting an advantage but still acting cute



This sudden exclamation startled the people of the Qingque tribe. The people guarding Han Cheng immediately raised the shields in their hands to their chests.

“Brother Cheng, they are marveling at the walls of our tribe.”

Sister Bai Xue, who was standing nearby, translated aloud with a smile, her voice full of laughter and a sense of pride rising in her voice.

This child bride had long considered herself a member of the Qingque tribe and had no sense of belonging to the tribe that had once wanted to burn her to death.

The other people from the Qingque tribe around also smiled kindly at this time.

Look at the people from the Fire Tribe who are filled with astonishment, then look back at the wall of his own tribe.

The wall looks very tall, and there are several small houses built on it made of mud and thatch. These are used by people on the wall to shelter from wind and rain while on guard.

They have been living here for a long time and have long been accustomed to the wall. When they heard the exclamations of the people from the Fire Tribe, they looked up at the wall of their tribe for a while. Many of them nodded secretly, thinking that the wall of their tribe was indeed majestic and amazing.

And this towering wall was only the beginning of the surprise for the people of the Fire Tribe who arrived here for the first time. After entering the tribe, they saw many novel and view-changing things that overwhelmed them, and various shocks followed one after another.

The four people who had been to the Qingque tribe once, when they came to the Qingque tribe again, their reaction was not much stronger than the four who came for the first time.

Because they found that in the year they were away, the tribe had undergone great changes, with many surprising and shocking things.

Did they really come up with these things during this period of time?

Thinking back on the life of my tribe during this period, it seemed that apart from some pottery jars and salt that I and others brought back, which made the food taste better, there seemed to be no other changes.

Their tribe still lives the same life as before, without any change.

this……

With this contrast, the shock in these people's hearts became even stronger.

Why is it that during the same period of time, my tribe has almost stood still, while this tribe has developed so much?

Some of them asked themselves this question in their hearts.

The eight people from the Fire Tribe, who were already feeling light under their feet due to riding on the boat, felt even more light-headed at this moment.

Everything they saw before their eyes seemed more unreal than a dream, but they knew that it was all real.

This feeling did not subside until noon, when they ate delicious food with the tribesmen.

The people of the Qingque tribe looked at these things with curiosity and amazement, and each of them had a kind smile on their face.

This reaction from the people of the Fire Tribe is undoubtedly the best compliment for their hard work and the most refreshing one.

At this point, the four people from the Fire Tribe who came later finally believed completely that everything these people said after they went back last year was true!

This tribe is so powerful and rich, it is fascinating like a dream.

After eating and resting here for a while, Huosong suddenly remembered the purpose of their visit.

He stood up and walked before the noble son of God of the tribe, and expressed his ideas through words and gestures.

Sister Bai Xue standing by took the initiative to act as a translator.

What he meant was that they brought a lot of hemp skins as requested by Han Cheng, and wanted to exchange them for some pottery and delicious salt from the Qingque tribe.

Han Cheng nodded, then followed them out of the tribe and walked towards the river.

The eight people from the Fire Tribe were so attracted by the enthusiasm and wealth of the Green Bird Tribe that they forgot everything else for a moment. So until now, the hemp skins they brought are still on the raft and have not been unloaded.

There were quite a lot of hemp skins on the raft, which were tied up in bunches just as Han Cheng had taught them before, and they were done quite neatly. It was obvious that the people of the Fire Tribe put a lot of effort into their work.

However, the hemp skin was not retting very well. There were many impurities in many places and the fibers were not exposed.

If it is used for spinning and weaving, it needs to be re-fermented.

Looking at the hemp skins on the ground, Huosong and his companions felt more confident. They finally had something that could surpass this tribe.

Huosong is the team leader temporarily appointed by the chief of the Fire Tribe.

In fact, even without the appointment from the leader of the Fire Tribe, Huosong would still be the leader of the fleet, because he was the strongest among the eight people.

Huosong picked up a handful of hemp skin and told Han Cheng with words and gestures about the process of their tribe collecting and fermenting hemp. Then he tried to make boastful gestures to show how good the hemp they brought was.

On the one hand, it was to get more things in the subsequent transactions, and more importantly, they wanted to use the few things they had to prove that their tribe was not particularly bad.

Looking at the noble Son of God nodding repeatedly in response to his story, Huosong and the other seven people from the Fire Tribe felt a lot more balanced.

However, their balance did not last long, because not long after he boasted about the hemp skin, some people from the tribe went to some places downstream of the river.

After Huosong asked curiously, he found out that they were going to peel hemp.

Peeling hemp?

After understanding what Sister Bai Xue conveyed, Huosong and the others were a little stunned. Is this tribe also harvesting wild hemp this year?

When they followed the women and children of the Qingque tribe to a place downstream and saw piles of hemp husks and peeled hemp stalks not far from the river bank, as well as many hemp bales that had not been fished out of the pit, the confidence that had just risen up because of the hemp husks was immediately shattered.

This tribe actually has so much hemp? !

Seeing so many retting hemps, Huosong's face couldn't help but feel hot after his initial shock, because he remembered how he had just boasted to the tribal leader about the hemp skins he had brought...

How come they have so much hemp?

I remember when I went to Yau Ma Tei to harvest wild hemp, there was no sign of it having been harvested!

Also, since their tribe already has so much hemp, why do they still need to transport hemp skins here?

And they exchanged it with extremely precious salt and pottery jars?

Looking at the women, children, the elderly and the weak from the Qingque tribe who were peeling hemp skin skillfully, Huosong stood there blankly, feeling dizzy all over.

I can't understand the logic behind this.

Seeing Huosong and several other members of the Fire Tribe looking dazed, Han Cheng sniffed slightly. I didn't ask you to come here. You guys insisted on coming here to be tortured...

At this moment, the saying "getting an advantage and still acting ungrateful" was fully reflected in Han Dashenzi.
