Finally, he saw a person. It was indeed a native. He looked frightened and kept talking incoherently. Ma Yue couldn't understand what he was saying.
Where were the weapons? Ma Yue, along with Xu Da and a hundred donkey cavalrymen, marched deeper into the plains, seemingly with no intention of killing these natives.
The frightened natives soon calmed down and followed Ma Yue's cavalry with curiosity. There were some young and strong men among them, who only had a wooden stick in their hands.
It's interesting that the natives here are so lax in their defenses. How can they be so aggressive?
After walking for a while, the view suddenly opened up, the ground became larger, and there were more natives. Because many natives followed Ma Yue's cavalry, the natives gradually saw Ma Yue's cavalry and were no longer panicked.
Many of the natives were fishing by the river with crude wooden forks. Their tools were so crude, but even so, Ma Yue saw some who could spear a fish. Once they caught one, many of the surrounding natives would come along to help.
Is this a fish? It's half the size of a donkey, right?
Theoretically, most large fish species are in the sea. Although the river is very wide, how can such a large fish emerge?
Ma Yue came over, very curious. Can a wooden fork catch fish?
Isn't that nonsense? This is a primitive world. In theory, there were no metal tools at all. Wood and stone tools were the main tools. Sure enough, the wooden fork has a sharp stone tip. Doesn't that make sense?
"Charlatan!" Xu Da and the hundred cavalrymen were very excited. They could have a big meal with such a big fish.
"Go!" After nine days of hard work, the team should relax. As for the threat? No matter how you look at it, there is no threat here. Many of the natives following the Ma Yue cavalry are looking at them with curiosity.
"Oh..." The cavalry began to cheer, and many of them rushed into the river, swinging axes and spears.
Crackling, no matter what, metal tools are far superior to stone tools. Moreover, the hardness of the copper tools of the sea tribe is already quite good. As long as they see fishing, they can chop it down with an axe...
Advanced metal tools are a great symbol of human progress.
With the harvest, some people have started to eat their fill, some have started to collect firewood, and some have started to set up the pottery jars they brought with them during the march... The cavalry of the Hai tribe were busy as hell, and the natives were envious of them.
It's so tiring to fish for a whole day, just like New Year's Day. But others use ropes and flying guns to help them, and in a flash, the river is filled with the blood of big fish.
It wasn't easy following him on this long journey. Ma Yue took out some salt and green onions from his space bag. Such amazing seasonings, and the fragrance...
Ma Yue also had a bowl of fish soup, which was not bad, but he was most worried that the fish would taste as bad as the Kun fish in the Qinghai tribe.
Ma Yue likes to eat seafood and fish, which are nutritious and low in fat. Ma Yue is already a great man who has gotten rid of vulgar tastes. Naturally, he doesn't worry about being hungry, and naturally he doesn't care about the issue of oil and water.
"Shuichong! You followed us?" Ma Yue was very surprised. A large group of cavalry came, and Shuichong was leading the group.
"I led the troops to reinforce Ma Han, saying that you had just left not long ago. You brought a hundred cavalrymen with you, and so many donkey dung balls, so it would be easy for you to follow us, haha..." Shuichong was very excited to see Ma Yue.
"You came at the right time. Hurry up. The fish here tastes delicious. Do you want to have a bowl?" Ma Yue was very happy that his old brother came.
Shuichong waved his hand, and the two thousand donkey cavalrymen began a new round of fishing. They weren't out to suppress bandits; they were really out for a trip.
Shuichong's large group of men and horses brought their own salt, so Ma Yue didn't have to worry about it. A large group of cavalry couldn't move without salt, and even large livestock couldn't move without salt.
Although it lacks the flavor of green onions, I can still enjoy the hot, salty fish soup, which is very satisfying.
On the bank of the river, two thousand cavalrymen were eating and drinking in a mighty procession. It was a spectacular sight.
More and more natives gathered to watch the excitement from afar. Envy was no use to you. At least, salt was precious. The cavalry of the Sea Tribe were lucky to have a sip of salt soup every now and then. Do you think the ordinary tribesmen could eat salt every day? That's impossible. The Sea Tribe's salt production was considerable, and its population was large.
The fish here is very firm and chewy, and is significantly more filling than regular fish. Fish also have different emptying times, and some fish take even longer to empty than whole grains.
"You charlatan, there are so many natives here, could they be the ones attacking our villages and towns?" Shuichong asked after he had eaten and drunk his fill.
"Who knows? Look around at the people here. Do they have any decent weapons?"
"Yeah, it's pretty much the same as our earliest Sea Tribe, haha!" The earliest Sea Tribe consisted of only a few dozen people, a dozen or so able-bodied men, and their sharpest weapons were made of stone. If it weren't for the appearance of the charlatan, the Sea Tribe would have remained so aboriginal, right? Perhaps, they would have been wiped out by other tribes long ago.
"Such a fish is so big, and the water seems to be flowing eastward. Doesn't it flow through our Xi'an branch?" Shuichong likes the big fish here. If the Sea Tribe had such a big fish, how much food would be saved.
"Shuichong, I doubt it. Is the east side of here our Xi'an branch?"
"We've been walking for ten days now, and it seems we're heading south, right?" Shuichong was also confused by the circuitous route. South of Ma Han's town was the Great Forest, which meant that Ma Han's town was the southernmost of the Xi'an branch.
No matter how big the Xi'an branch is, it has an end.
"When we go back, Lingma Wangcai and I will explore eastward along this river to see what is on the east side." Ma Yue's overall idea was to travel. If he could help the Hai tribe explore, wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone?
