The joy brought by the sudden return of Mao and others who were away on business did not last long. It was hit by something and then changed its taste.
Han Cheng, who was walking forward with joy on his face, gradually stopped and looked hesitantly at Mao and others who were walking quickly towards Jinguan City with joy.
Han Cheng was not the only one who had such a reaction. The other senior brothers and others who came out with Han Cheng had similar reactions. They all stopped hesitantly, looking at the trading team that returned with a full load with confusion and astonishment in their eyes.
The phrase "return with a full load" was not used incorrectly. Mao and others who were returning happily had truly returned with a full load.
Not only were the donkeys, deer, and other animals that were accompanying them loaded with large and small rattan baskets and other things, but the people who were accompanying them also carried some things to varying degrees.
Just these things alone would not make such a fuss for a time traveler from the future.
The same is true for those people in the Qingque tribe who were brought out by him and who have seen a lot of the world with him.
What made Han Cheng and others stop in shock was a human!
To be precise, they were those people who were walking with the returning trade caravan, with their hands tied with ropes and strung together.
There were quite a lot of these people. Han Cheng took a rough look and found that there were about seventy or eighty of them.
Because the weather has become hot, these people are basically shirtless, whether they are adults or children, men or women.
The lower bodies of most of these people were just wrapped in some tattered and dirty looking animal skins, or some large tree leaves, looking quite cool.
The sudden scene before him made Han Cheng couldn't help but shake his head vigorously, feeling a little dizzy.
He was too familiar with this scene.
This was roughly the situation when we returned from attacking the Bone Tribe, Teng Snake Tribe, Bannong Tribe and other tribes.
Men, women, old and young were all tied up with ropes, and all the food and other things stored by the tribe became the property of the Green Bird tribe.
Aren't they going out this time to find strange tribes and exchange with them?
Just like what had happened before near the Qingque main tribe.
only……
But now looking at the scene in front of him, Han Cheng could not connect what he was seeing at this moment with what they were going to do.
This is not an exchange at all! This is clearly a big deal!
Otherwise, how could it be possible to trade so many people from the other side in a legitimate transaction?
Although people of this era think less, most of them are not too stupid, and things like exchanging themselves will basically not happen.
The excited members of the trade team, including Mao and Xiong You'er, saw from afar that Han Cheng and others who came out to greet them were stunned on the spot, and the smiles on their faces became even brighter.
They couldn't help but stand straighter, with a rare spirit.
The feeling of having gained a lot and returning successfully is really good. It makes people enjoy it very much and even a little intoxicated.
Especially after seeing the reactions of the people like the Son of God who stayed in the tribe after they returned, this feeling became even stronger, and many people felt a little elated.
What Mao said turned out to be true. After returning to the tribe this time, he and his companions were truly given exceptional treatment.
Xiong You'er, who was carrying the Green Bird flag, thought so in his heart while scanning the returning team.
Most of the people in the newly formed trading team, who had just returned after some trials, were consciously or unconsciously moving towards the things they had brought back.
Some people even moved the things they were originally carrying at the back to the front so that everyone in the tribe could better see their harvest.
This is also a relatively direct way to show off bravery and achievements.
Such an act of boasting that seemed so glorious made Xiong You'er, who was naturally quite strong-willed, unwilling to fall behind the others.
He then reached behind him and moved a package he was carrying to the front.
Because Xiong You'er needed to carry the Green Bird flag, he didn't have much other things to carry along the way, so his package was naturally much smaller than that of the others.
After moving to the front, Xiong You'er looked everyone up and down, then looked at the packages that the rest of the people in the team were carrying, and suddenly he felt a little unhappy.
He looked around, then reached out and scratched his head, appearing a little distressed.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had come up with a good idea.
He placed the Green Bird flag on his left hand and left shoulder, stretched out his right hand, grabbed to the right, and pulled hard. A female primitive with her hands tied with a rope was pulled to his side.
This female primitive was exceptionally strong, even the average male primitive could not compare to her.
She can even surpass the most beautiful women recognized in the tribe - Zhuang and Ruhua!
After pulling the woman to his side, Xiong You'er's body suddenly straightened up. He looked very proud and energetic.
This beautiful female primitive seemed very resistant to Xiong You'er's rude behavior.
However, under the current situation, there is no better solution...
Han Cheng's eyebrows twitched when he saw these things.
This is not a trade team at all! This is clearly population plunder!
However, the smile on his face did not disappear, and he did not feel anything special.
On the one hand, it is out of trust in Mao and others, thinking that they will not act rashly. Without understanding the specific situation, it is easy to make wrong conclusions based on the current situation.
For example, when the bus fell into the river, the female driver was scolded by many people...
On the other hand, if it was really their fault, as the son of God of the tribe, he would definitely side with the people of his own tribe.
After something like this happens, he will only issue some regulations and impose restrictions afterwards.
As for what is happening now, since it has already happened, let it happen first.
When two tribes start to fight, the most important thing is that neither tribe should suffer any loss. Everything else is just empty talk.
"What's going on?"
A moment later, Han Cheng and others met the trading team that had returned with a full load. After a brief meeting, Han Cheng didn't say any nonsense and went straight to the point in asking questions.
He wanted to understand what was going on as soon as possible regarding this strange and unexpected thing happening before his eyes.
"Son of God, it is like this..."
When Mao heard Han Cheng asking about this, he was not panicked at all. On the contrary, he suddenly became energetic and full of spirits.
Not only him, but the entire trading team that returned with him also cheered up at this time.
It doesn't take much to know that what Han Cheng asked about just hit the spot for all of them.
Mao's eloquence is still very good.
This seems like nonsense.
As the top translator of the Qingque tribe, it would be strange if he had poor eloquence.
As Mao spoke, the whole story gradually unfolded before Han Cheng's eyes.
Because Mao's narration is very layered, it sounds like a picture scroll that slowly opens before your eyes.
Moving forward in time, the location changes to an unknown tribe.
"@##￥!"
A relatively strong male primitive man, speaking loudly.
In his hand he held a wooden stick with seven or eight spikes. The stick was very thick and looked extremely hard.
In his other hand, he held a clay pot filled with salt.
In front of him gathered most of the adults in the tribe.
After seeing the two things he held in his hands and hearing the words he shouted, the people gathered here suddenly became extremely excited.
"@#WER!"
"@#W!"
They shouted loudly and responded with great joy and impatience.
Seeing the reactions of these people in the tribe, this seemingly strong male primitive became even more excited.
He raised the weapon in his hand and the clay pot filled with salt higher, and once again shouted loudly at the people in front of him, with a sound like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
However, this shouting, to the ears of the other people present, had some other magical power.
They were already quite crazy and excited, and now they became even more excited, and it was obvious that they were out of their minds.
They all howled loudly and waved their weapons vigorously. Some of them even clenched their fists and beat their chests hard to show their strength and strong confidence.
"@#34!"
A moment later, the male primitive who was obviously the leader howled loudly again and pointed the spiked weapon in his hand in one direction.
Then he took the lead and walked quickly in that direction.
The rest of the people, whose emotions had been fully aroused, also took action after receiving his orders, following him and heading in that direction.
Not long ago, those mysterious people who left their tribe went in this direction!
If you walk on the road at night too much, you will inevitably encounter ghosts.
The Qingque tribe trading team led by Bimao.
During the long period of trade, although most tribes were willing to use food in exchange for salt and pottery carried by the Green Bird tribe's trading team, and were willing to abide by some fair rules with primitive meaning that did not require special regulations and that most people could understand and accept, however, after experiencing such things more often, it is always possible to encounter some people and tribes who are unwilling to abide by the rules and have other ideas.
The tribe in front of us, led by their leader, advancing rapidly forward with weapons and full of excitement, is an outstanding representative of them.
Because the tribe in front of us has improper intentions and wants to do some bad things to the Qingque tribe, for the convenience of writing and reading, we will temporarily call it the non-tribe.
The non-tribal leader once again raised the wooden stick weapon with wooden spikes in his hand.
The non-tribal leaders had no resistance or uneasiness about what they were about to do.
In his opinion, such things were almost natural - who made those mysterious people possess so many good things and not look very powerful?
Isn't it obvious that this is for them to rob?
Of course, at the beginning, the leaders of the non-tribes did not think of bringing people to rob the mysterious Qingque tribe.
At that time, he was completely overwhelmed by the magic of pottery and the deliciousness of salt, and his whole mind was immersed in these two new things.
It was in this mood that he agreed to the conditions of the dark-skinned man who was good at communicating with others, and exchanged the food stored in the tribe for the exquisite pottery and salt that could make the food extremely delicious.
From the beginning of the exchange until the departure of the Green Bird tribe trading team, he was still immersed in the joy of obtaining these two artifacts and had not come to his senses.
When they were hungry and needed to get food, the leader of the non-tribe was a little confused when he saw that a lot of food had suddenly disappeared from the cave.
After being confused for a while, the non-tribal leader decided to catch up with the people of the Qingque tribe who had left the tribe and take all the belongings back to his own tribe.
The Non-Tribe is a relatively large tribe. In the area where they live, they can crush other tribes.
In addition, the Green Bird Tribe has newly formed a trading team, and the number of people coming this time is not particularly large, so it is easy for the already inflated non-tribes to have some inappropriate thoughts.
While the non-tribes and others were hurrying to catch up, Mao and others were leading the animals and carrying things forward, just as they did in the past.
Alert, but also a bit relaxed.
After all, at this point in time, they had already opened up the situation, and the things they brought with them on this trip had almost been exchanged.
After this period of training, the new members of the trade team, who are mostly newcomers, have basically become familiar with these things and have become adept at many things.
After a chase that the Green Bird Tribe trading team was unaware of, the non-tribal leader, along with his non-tribal people who were holding back their energy, caught up.
The Green Bird Tribe was carrying a large amount of supplies, plus they had livestock such as deer and donkeys that needed to stop to graze, and they were bound to be caught up without realizing it.
