Chapter 443 What Yu Tu Sees (Please vote and subscribe)
Shu Da and his group were still the same, but there were eleven more people in the team, that is, Yu Tu, the leader of the Yu tribe, and his ten guards.
The team of less than a hundred people was on the way back to Hanyang City. The way back was easier than the way there. The grass and trees that had just been cleared had not had time to grow. Shu Da still rode his tall horse in front. Yu Tu, the guest, had no horse to ride, and he didn't know how to ride. In order to show his different status, he sat on the ox cart at the back.
"You didn't collect chestnuts, but you got these things. Is it useful? What can you use them for?" Yu Tu sat on the cart and took out a handful of cocoons from the bamboo basket beside him. He asked Sancho, who was also sitting in the cart, curiously.
"Weaving cloth, making clothes." Sancho's answer was very concise. She didn't know many Chinese nouns to begin with, and now she had to rely on gestures to communicate with Yu Tu.
Yu Tu did not ask any more questions. He really could not associate these cocoons with clothes made of animal skins. If this was the kind of thing that Shu Da was wearing, it didn't look like it. This Han tribe was really strange. It seemed to have many amazing technologies, just like the containers for water and white salt.
The team first marched north from the woods, and when they came to a dirt road full of ruts, they turned and headed west. Yu Tu knew that was the direction of the stream. It seemed that they really came from the other side of the river, but now he suddenly had a question.
If the Han tribe lived on the west side of the stream, why did the ruts on the road they were walking on extend eastward, so long that they could not see the end at a glance.
Such special traces were obviously not made by humans and wild animals. Only the transportation tool he was sitting on could leave such unique traces. Since they lived on the west bank of the stream, why did they leave traces farther east?
Yu Tu was a person who could not hide his questions, especially when it came to curiosity. If he didn't ask clearly, he would feel anxious and restless, so he asked Sang Qiu directly about the questions in his heart.
"I see that this trace goes further to the east. Do you Han tribe often go there? What's there?" Yu Tu asked directly.
"There is another settlement. My tribe and I came from that settlement. We just joined the Han tribe not long ago." Sang Qiu did not hide it, or she did not think there was anything to hide. The strength of the Han tribe was not something to be ashamed of.
"The Han tribe has a settlement in the east?! Why should a tribe be divided into two settlements? And why did you join the Han tribe? Did they attack your tribe and force you to join? I see that there is no child in this team. Did they force you to work with the life and death of children?" Yu Tu couldn't help but guess.
Sancho's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but wonder if this guy had a hole in his forehead. His imagination was so rich, and he threatened them with a child. Did the Han tribe need to do that? His people had worked in Liuyang County for more than half a year, and had seen many tribes join the Han tribe, but none of them was initiated by the Han tribe. They were all requested by the small tribes themselves. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?
"There are too many people in the Han tribe, and one settlement can't accommodate them. You are also the leader, you should understand that if there are too many people, the food output in one place will not be able to support them, so we have to build another settlement. Do you understand this?
As for us joining the Han tribe, it was not threatened by the Han tribe, but we took the initiative to join. The Han tribe is very powerful, so big that you can't even imagine it. Joining the Han tribe can live a life without hunger and cold. My people are willing to join, and I have nothing to object to, so I joined." Sancho looked so simple, spreading his hands innocently, indicating that it was not as complicated as he thought.
This answer made Yu Tu speechless. He admitted that the Han tribe had white salt, containers, livestock and vehicles, and was indeed a very powerful tribe. But even so, it would not allow other tribes to join them voluntarily. If they really wanted those things, wouldn't they exchange them for them? Was it necessary for the whole tribe to join them?
Sancho also felt that there was no need to explain further. She had just said that the power of the Han tribe was beyond the imagination of others. Wait, when you see it with your own eyes, it will probably be even more exaggerated than when you first arrived in Hanyang City.
This wait did not make Yu Tu wait for long. They started to march early in the morning on the first day, and stopped to rest until they could no longer see the road. They set out again at dawn the next day, and they still walked on the bare "road" the next day, so they heard the sound of flowing water in the stream shortly after noon. The Han tribe was approaching.
"How do we cross the river? It's no problem for people to swim across, but what about these livestock and vehicles, and all the things on the vehicles?" Yu Tu asked curiously.
"Just walk over there." Sancho's answer seemed calm and matter-of-fact. She had walked over the wooden bridge twice. The first time she walked over it, she felt it was amazing. The second time she could only admire the strength of the Han tribe. Now the third time she walked over it, she was full of pride, because in front of Yu Tu, she represented the Han tribe and she was also a member of the Han tribe.
"Just walk over there?"
"Just stand on the car and look ahead." Sancho did not explain too much.
Hearing her say this, Yu Tu's curiosity could no longer be suppressed. She stood up and stood on the car to look forward. Under the scorching afternoon sun, the sparkling river was like a silver-white jade belt. However, right in front of them, the jade belt was abruptly interrupted in the middle.
There, it seemed that there was something lying across the river, Yu Tu judged.
After getting the answer, he was shocked. As the distance got closer, the object became clearer and clearer, so clear that he could see every thick wooden board on it. It looked no different from the ox cart he was sitting on. Even a fool could see that this thing across the river was made by the magical Han tribe.
The driver didn't even ask them to get off. He just drove the ox cart across the wooden bridge and crossed the stream very easily. There was not even a sound from the wooden bridge. This thing was really stable.
However, Yu Tu didn't exclaim at this magical wooden bridge at this time, because the scene on the west bank of the stream had completely overturned his cognition. He saw the city built of blue-black bricks and stones.
