Chapter 99 Food for Information (Please add to collection and recommend)
"That bald leader is dead, and we have joined another tribe." One of the three said to You Fu.
"What did he say?" Luo Chong frowned as he sat on the back of Huishan. His people were actually communicating with that guy, but he couldn't understand. This made Luo Chong very unhappy.
"Chief, that guy is from the You tribe. He is looking for our former leader. The You tribe is not a bad tribe. They often help foreign tribes, but they have to be given things in exchange." The most servile man among the three said.
"Oh? There is such a tribe? Those in the woods behind are his people. Let them all come out and tell him that we will not hurt them." Luo Chong was puzzled at first, and then immediately became interested.
The tribesman relayed Luo Chong's words, and You Fu immediately agreed. He pulled out the arrow nailed in front of his foot, looked at the sharp bronze arrowhead on it, and then respectfully returned it to Luo Chong with both hands, his face calm, without a trace of timidity.
"This guy is a talent." Luo Chong has been observing Fu's behavior and couldn't help but admire him in his heart. If someone dares to face so many weapons alone and is not afraid, he must be either a brave and careful talent or a fool. But obviously, he is not a fool.
Luo Chong took the arrow and inserted it into the quiver, and no longer pointed the bow and arrow at him. You Fu also turned around and shouted to the tribesmen in the woods, asking them to come out. They turned their backs to Luo Chong calmly, without any defense, showing enough trust and sincerity.
Hey, it's interesting. As expected of people who often communicate with other tribes, when getting along with strangers, how to gain the trust of others and how to show their sincerity are all perfectly expressed with their behavior.
Moreover, only one person came out when they first contacted. If the situation is not right, his own tribesmen can run or save him, which can minimize the loss of their own tribe. It seems that the You tribe is really familiar with this routine.
A group of men and women came out of the woods, including You Fu, a total of 57 people. The population structure of the You tribe is quite special.
Compared with other tribes, they have too few women. In most tribes, the number of women is almost twice that of men, but in You tribe, there are only 15 women, all of them are adult women, not even a single girl.
In a tribe of 57 people, there are only 29 adults, including 14 men and 15 women, and the rest are underage boys. Youfu is very young, only 18 years old this year. Only he, the leader, has two women, and his two children are only three or four years old.
These guys wear sandals made of animal skin and tree bark, and animal skin skirts. Each man carries a large leather bag, holding a bone spear and a stone axe in his hand. A group of people stare blankly at the cattle and mammoths in the Han tribe.
Can wild animals carry things for people? Aren't wild animals meant to be eaten?
"The tribe you are looking for no longer exists. They have all joined my tribe now. What do you want to do with them?" Luo Chong didn't want to waste any more time, so he asked Youfu directly. The tribesman just now consciously translated for Luo Chong.
"Oh, respected chief, I'm here to tell them when the Dream Valley Spring Meeting will be held." You Fu said.
"What is the Dream Valley Spring Meeting?" Luo Chong asked curiously.
"It's a gathering of tribes in Dream Valley to exchange blood. People who have just reached adulthood will go there to find their own men or women." You Fu explained, but he was still curious that Luo Chong, as a chief, didn't know about this Spring Meeting.
Luo Chong really didn't know about this. He inherited the memory of this body, but he didn't have anything useful. The original owner of this body had never left the open space in front of the cave. What knowledge could he have? Luo Chong himself only heard about the blind date meeting from his tribesmen, but he didn't know where it was.
"Um, what is Dream Valley?" Luo Chong continued to ask.
"Dream Valley is to the southwest of here. It can be reached in five sunsets. It is a beautiful valley that looks like a dream." You Fu saw that Luo Chong really didn't know, so he had to continue to explain.
"Oh, then when does this Spring Meeting start?" Luo Chong continued to ask.
"I can tell you, but you have to provide one day's food for my people." You Fu pointed to his people.
Damn, you are here to blackmail me, asking for so much food for a time. Luo Chong was furious as soon as he heard the translation of his tribesman. How could he be so shameless?
You Fu looked at Luo Chong's anger and felt a little disappointed. This little leader was obviously a rookie and knew nothing.
"Chief, chief, don't be angry. This is how the You tribe works. Every year, they will come to inform each tribe of the spring meeting. Each tribe will provide them with one day's food. They will also exchange some things with each tribe. It's like this every time." The translator explained to Luo Chong.
"Are you familiar with them?" Luo Chong frowned and looked at the translator.
"Ah, they come every year, so we know each other." The translator didn't understand and answered honestly.
"We don't bring so much food. If you want food, you have to go to our tribe to get it. If you don't want to, just say it. Anyway, we know the location of the spring meeting. At worst, we will go and wait tomorrow." Luo Chong thought for a while and said.
The other party came so far with their families to deliver the message, so it seems that asking for some food is not too much, but they came to collect salt, and they didn't bring that much food.
"Where is your tribe? How far is it? It's getting dark. If it's too far, we won't go." You Fu asked tentatively.
"It's over there. Hurry up and we can get there before it gets dark." Luo Chong pointed to the east and said.
"Is it the tribe living in the cave in the east? Does your elder have a pair of goat horns on his head? Is he still alive? If it's there, we can go, but it looks like we have to walk at night." Looking at the direction Luo Chong pointed, You Fu instantly knew where Luo Chong was talking about.
Luo Chong was also stunned after hearing this. This guy really knows a lot. It seems that he has been to the Han tribe before, and he can even tell the characteristics of the elders. Since they are acquaintances, there is nothing to say. They must be brought back. Luo Chong wants to know more information from him. After coming to this world, he has not traveled too far and is not familiar with the surrounding tribes.
"Are you scared? We have many people and weapons. If there are wild animals, they will only become our food. It's okay for us to walk together. If you think we are walking too slowly, you can let the children sit on the cows, so that we can go faster." Luo Chong pointed at the cow team.
"Haha, we in the You tribe are not afraid. It's just that it's dark and we can't see the road in the woods." You Fu smiled and retorted. He would not admit that he was afraid.
"Then let's go, let your children ride the cows."
"Okay."
The tribesmen of the Han tribe led the way by the nose of the cows. The tribesmen of the You tribe put the older children on the backs of the cows, and they followed beside the cows. Seeing the tall wild cows carrying so many things and being ridden by people, they felt very novel. This was a way of travel they had never seen before.
The group walked for two hours. It was already dark, but the woods were darker than the sky. At this time, they could no longer see the direction. The tribesmen of the Han tribe took out the torches they had prepared and lit them. The bright fire instantly illuminated the way home.
The You tribe was also very curious about the torches. The flames from this wooden stick were much brighter than ordinary flames. They would not be extinguished by the wind and could burn for a long time. They had never seen anything like this before.
In fact, the torches of the Han tribe were very simple. They were just short wooden sticks with a layer of grass rope soaked in grease wrapped around one end. This way, they could burn more vigorously and for a longer time.
The You tribe was eager to try it. This was exactly what they needed. You know, ordinary torches could not burn for more than a few minutes. They were often on the road and had no place to live. They definitely needed this kind of torch.
You Fu walked up to Luo Chong and asked him how to make this torch. Luo Chong did not hide it and told him the key.
"This torch is very simple. It is a wooden stick wrapped with grass rope, but the grass rope must be soaked in grease first."
"Then what is grease?" You Fu asked in confusion.
Damn, I don't even know what grease is, are you kidding me
