With the blessing of the wise priests, and leading their livestock and goods, the hunchbacked primitive people headed towards the tribe they had visited many times.

After walking for a few days, the scene in front of me became different.

Areas of water appeared before our eyes, along with some people.

These people were covered in animal skins and carried clay pots in their hands.

Some people, because the pottery jars they were holding were too big and too heavy to be held with one hand, held the edge of the jar with one hand and leaned it against their waist.

This can save a lot of effort.

However, there is one thing that is quite demanding on people, and that is a good waist.

These people would reach into the jar with their free hand from time to time, grab some things from it, and then throw them into the water with force.

At this time, the weather was still cold and the water was still freezing, but these people seemed not to feel the cold and just walked in the mud in the water.

Repeat this action while walking.

On the shore, there were some people standing here with dazzling weapons.

Their weapons looked larger and sharper than those carried by the hunchbacked primitives.

These people did not work, they just watched the people in the water work.

The furs they wore looked thicker, and they generally looked stronger than the people working in the water.

The hunchbacked primitive man was no stranger to such a scene, and he also knew what these people were doing and why they were doing it.

What they scattered into the shallow waters at this time were small fruits with shells, which were delicious after the shells were removed.

At this time, sprinkle some delicious little fruits in it. After a while, these small fruits will sprout and grow, just like weeds.

When the leaves turn yellow, these things will grow bigger and produce more small fruits.

At that time, the people of this tribe would collect all the small fruits grown on these grasses, and they would have a lot of food at once.

This is also one of the reasons why the tribe in front of us is so powerful and wealthy.

The hunchbacked primitive man was very envious of this way of obtaining food, and he also wanted his tribe to use this method to obtain large amounts of food.

If it is possible to get plenty of food near one's own tribe without having to travel so much, no one would be willing to carry goods to a far place and walk constantly to reach other tribes in order to exchange enough food for the people in the tribe.

But the hunchbacked primitive man could only think about such things in his mind, but he did not dare to actually do them.

Because in this large area, all the places suitable for the growth of these delicious little fruits belong to this powerful tribe in front of them.

Even though the shallow waters are right next to where their tribe lives, they still belong to the tribe in front of them.

In the season when all things sprout and grow, you follow the example of the tribe in front of you and scatter delicious little fruits with shells into the water, waiting for these seeds to sprout and grow, but this powerful tribe does not care.

But when the time came to harvest, they could not harvest.

Regardless of whether these delicious little fruits grew there on their own or were scattered there by the tribesmen, in the eyes of this tribe, they would automatically belong to their tribe.

If any tribe dared to disagree and harvested this delicious little fruit, the people standing on the shore would go to find that tribe with sharp weapons.

At that time, not only will all the delicious fruits harvested be snatched away, but everything else will be taken away by the tribe in front of them.

This also includes people from that tribe.

Most of the people doing this barefoot and stepping on freezing mud are from the tribe that dared to do this in the beginning, as well as their descendants.

Such things happened so often that no other tribe dared to do such a thing within a large area centered on this wealthy and powerful tribe.

Even if the delicious little fruits are right next to the tribe where they live, no one will harvest them.

Even if the powerful tribe before them forgot to harvest, the other tribes would watch them being eaten by birds and would not dare to touch them.

Fortunately, this powerful tribe only targets this delicious little fruit and does not do the same with other foods. Otherwise, many tribes would have to choose to join this tribe or move away with their people, far away from this powerful and overbearing tribe.

Every tribe has its own way of survival, just like people in later generations, each has his or her own way of living.

The tribe of hunchbacked primitive people who could not grow these delicious little fruits developed the current method of obtaining food through exchange...

From a distance, these people didn't care when they saw the hunchbacked primitive people.

After all, they have met each other many times and know what each other is actually doing.

There were even many people who smiled broadly after seeing the hunchbacked primitive people.

This was indeed a very happy thing for them, because the arrival of the hunchbacked primitive people meant that their tribe would harvest a considerable amount of food.

Compared with the delicious small fruits that their tribe harvested when the leaves turned yellow, although this amount of food was not much, it was not too little either.

All they had to pay were things that were not at all uncommon in their tribe.

For example, their people can make a lot of pottery.

"#￥43..."

The hunchbacked primitive man had a smile on his face even from a long distance away. He spoke loudly and greeted those people who were standing on the shore with weapons and watching the others work.

The two tribes are relatively close to each other and they often interact with each other, so the language gap between them is not too big and most of them can be understood.

"#￥5..."

After hearing what the hunchbacked primitive man said, one of the men spoke up and responded.

And one of them left here and went towards the hunchbacked primitive people.

After a while, the two sides met and exchanged a few words. The man who came forward led the hunchbacked primitive man to a place.

While walking, the hunchbacked primitive man saw more people working in the water.

In some places, people were still herding these animals, and the number of them was much larger than what their tribe had.

The hunchbacked primitive people walked forward, heading towards a mountain that looked rather abrupt.

There aren't many plants growing on the mountains here, and some of the peaks seem to sparkle under the sunlight.

This powerful tribe mainly lives not too far from these mountains.

At the beginning, all the hunchbacked primitive people saw were mountains. As they walked, other things gradually appeared in front of them.

It was something that appeared on flat ground, covered with layers of straw.

The hunchbacked primitive people did not find these things strange because they had seen them more than once.

And they also knew that these things were where the people of this tribe lived.

Just like the tree houses their tribe built on trees for living in.

After a while, they came to a house built with straw, branches, mud and other things.

After coming here, I saw more and more people all of a sudden.

But most of them are children and pregnant female primitives.

The rest of the strong men were mostly scattered around and further away, doing various kinds of labor.

Scatter delicious small shelled fruits into shallow waters, drive livestock that evolved from prey to graze and collect some wild vegetables...

Led by that man, the hunchbacked primitive people walked through the gaps between the caves used for living and went inside.

After walking inside for a while, an open space appeared.

This open space is located in the center of all the caves that can be used for living. It can also be said that all the caves used for living are built around this open space.

This open space is not completely empty, because there is a cave in the center of the open space.

This cave is the largest of all the caves and looks far more exquisite than the others.

There are even several large pottery pieces fixed on the top of this cave.

Not to mention anything else, this stroke of skill alone is enough to widen the gap between this cave and other caves.

I don’t know how much higher it is than the rest of the caves.

The group of hunchbacked primitive people stopped at the edge of the open space and did not move forward.

Those who have come here many times know that this tribe generally does not like people from other tribes to walk on this open space.

The man who led them here said something to them, then stepped onto the open space and walked towards the very gorgeous cave in the middle of the open space.

He seemed a little cautious and his attitude was extremely respectful.

The man walked to the front of the cave, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he placed his hands on top of his head and bent his body slightly forward before speaking.

After his voice fell, no sound came from the magnificent cave. After this silence lasted for a while, the door of the magnificent cave opened from the inside.

But no one came out.

The man once again faced the open door, folded his hands on top of his head and bowed, then stepped into the magnificent cave.

As he walked in, he first leaned the weapon in his hand against the wall outside the cave.

Looking at this scene, the hunchbacked primitive man did not say a word.

He knew who lived in this magnificent building.

The person living here is the witch of this wealthy and powerful tribe.

Her status in this tribe is similar to that of the old priest of their tribe.

However, the witch of this tribe is obviously wiser and more full of mysterious power than the old priest of her own tribe.

The precious pottery, as well as the weapon in his hand that is more precious than the pottery, are said to have been made by this witch.

For such a person, even if he is not a member of this tribe, the hunchbacked primitive man is still full of respect. At the same time, he also has some fear.

After waiting for a while, the person who entered the gorgeous cave walked out again.

He was not empty-handed, for in his arms he held two precious pieces of pottery.

He walked out of the room and walked some distance outside before putting the pottery in his arms on the ground. Then he turned around and continued to carry the pottery out of the magnificent cave.

When he went inside again, he folded his hands on top of his head as he did before, then leaned forward slightly to salute.

"#￥42!"

Under the watchful eyes of the hunchbacked primitive people, this man went in and out many times, and brought out a lot of pottery and delicious salt soil.

After putting these things together, the man turned around and looked at the hunchbacked primitive people and started shouting.

After hearing this man's shout, the hunchbacked primitive people dared to walk towards the open space.

When they came to the pottery, the hunchbacked primitive people stopped, put their own food and the food carried by their livestock on the ground, and then exchanged them.

Both parties often do exchanges and are already familiar with them. There is no need to pay much attention to it. With the joint witness and operation of both parties, the exchange was completed in a short time.

The hunchbacked primitive people had some pottery and edible salt soil in front of them, and the food they carried belonged to this powerful tribe.

"#4%%..."

This man looked at the hunchbacked primitive people and spoke with some confusion.

In the past, after an exchange, the hunchbacked primitive people would pack up the pottery, salt soil and other things they obtained, but this time they did the opposite.

Instead of cleaning up, they stood there looking a little hesitant.

And the hunchbacked primitive man's eyes were looking towards the place where the witch of their tribe lived.

"￥y..."

Hearing the question from the man in front of him, the hunchbacked primitive man spoke quickly. What he meant was that he wanted to let the witch see how much food he could exchange for the two good things they had obtained.

After understanding what the hunchbacked primitive man meant, the man couldn't help laughing.

Precious things?

In exchange for food?

No matter how precious this thing is, can it be more precious than the things from one's own tribe?

However, the smile on his face only lasted for a short time before it disappeared, and was replaced by extreme disbelief.

His eyes were fixed on the exquisite pottery held in the hand of the hunchbacked primitive man.

It turns out that there are things more precious than the pottery of their own tribe!

He took the precious pottery in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, then walked towards the gorgeous house with excitement and caution...
