In the animal skin scroll that the shaman showed Shao Xuan, there was no record of a tribe living here.
What the scroll said was that this place used to be a wasteland.
Back then, the ancestors of the tribe left their homeland for a new place. Unexpectedly, the earth cracked open, and the crack grew bigger and bigger until the end could not be seen.
According to Shao Xuan's guess, after the huge crack appeared, because of the changes in the topography of other places, many tributaries flowed in and gradually filled the crack, turning it into a river. Because of this series of changes, creatures from the sea entered, such as those huge river beasts.
However, this huge river formed because of the changes in the sky also blocked the ancestors' way back.
The ancestors were always in awe of the things formed by the changes in the sky. Therefore, more often than not, even if they wanted to return, they would choose to find another way instead of returning directly from the river. In addition, the river was full of all kinds of threats, so their thoughts were even more diluted.
Nearly a thousand years had passed, and the Yanjiao tribe lived alone on the other side of the river. On this side of the river, there had also been a huge change. The once wasteland had become a wet area with many ponds and rivers, and there was even a tribe here.
Fortunately, the language was interconnected, so communication was not that complicated.
"What is the name of your tribe?" Shao Xuan asked.
The other party did not answer. He stood up and carefully looked at Shao Xuan, and continued to ask, "You really stayed on the river for more than twenty days?"
"Yes." Shao Xuan answered.
"You liar!"
After the other party shouted, he strode towards Shao Xuan, and with a fierce fist, he punched towards Shao Xuan's abdomen.
Bang!
Their palms met.
The next moment, the opponent found that his fist was tightly clenched. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free. His eyes flashed with killing intent, and his other hand reached out like lightning. His two hands joined together, and like a clamp, he tightly clamped Shao Xuan's fist. At the same time, his ankle suddenly turned, and his body was in the air, spinning rapidly.
The mud on his body splashed in all directions as he spun.
Bang!
His feet landed on the ground, and the spinning stopped.
"Who told you to lie to me … huh?!" The expression on the person's face froze. His eyes widened as he stared at his hands in disbelief.
He originally thought that he would break the other party's arm, but instead, he found that not only was his arm not broken, but both of his hands were tightly bound with straw ropes. He raised his head and looked at the person standing in front of him. Then, he looked at his own hands. How could this be?!
Shao Xuan looked at the person in front of him with a headache. He thought that the children of the Yanjiao tribe were fierce enough, but he didn't expect the one in front of him to be even more troublesome. If he said something wrong, he would use a killing move. If he hadn't pulled back quickly, his entire arm would have been twisted off.
This brat was lying on the ground motionlessly just now because he was recovering his strength. It wasn't easy for him to recover a little, but he used it to deal with his savior.
What should I say about him?
The attack just now had used up almost all of the strength he had recovered. The person whose hands were tied was panting heavily as he glared fiercely at Shao Xuan.
The layer of mud on his face and other parts of his body had been shaken off by the spinning just now. Although there were still traces of mud, Shao Xuan could already see that he was different.
Shao Xuan noticed that when the other party attacked him just now, totem tattoos had appeared on his body as well. However, the totem tattoos were all over his body, connected together in small blocks. On his face, his mouth was split open, almost reaching the back of his ears. Looking at the mouth full of sharp teeth, Shao Xuan was willing to bet that the brat in front of him was planning to bite him directly later.
Now that he had no strength, the tattoos on his body gradually disappeared, and his mouth returned to its original shape.
"I never knew that someone would try to kill their savior! I'm sure the people of your tribe aren't good people either. "Shao Xuan said.
"You're the bad one! Thief! "The other party was still stubborn.
"What did I steal? Which eye of yours saw it? How dare you accuse me of being a thief without seeing anything? This is called framing. Do you know what framing means? You only know how to talk nonsense. Is your brain filled with sh * t?! Have you heard of the story of the farmer and the snake? Oh, you definitely haven't heard of it. It's about a snake that was saved by someone, but in the end, it bit the person who saved it. The next time you're in danger, let's see who will save you! Do you still remember the feeling of waiting for death?! "
Shao Xuan blabbered on and on. He noticed that there were other people around, and most of them were with this brat. They had just arrived and were observing the situation. Shao Xuan had to tell them the truth and his grievances. If the other party still tried to kill him, then they could only fight or fly away with Chacha.
The person was stunned by Shao Xuan's words. Although he didn't understand a lot of the words Shao Xuan said, it didn't stop him from understanding the general meaning.
Did he really do something wrong?
After speaking, Shao Xuan snorted heavily, angry and disappointed. He walked to Chacha's side and said, "In the future, we'll stay away from your tribe and don't interact with ungrateful people like you. Do you know what it means to be ungrateful? Forget it, it's useless to talk to you. Chacha, let's go! "
"Wait!"
The person waiting in the forest quickly walked out and stopped Shao Xuan, who was about to jump onto the bird's back.
The person who walked out was an adult and a child. The adult was a very sturdy man. Like the brat next to him, his eyes were yellowish-brown. However, the little girl standing next to him had blackish-brown eyes. She didn't look as fierce and gave people a feeling of gentleness.
Seeing the person who walked out, the person whose hands were tied up said happily, "Father!"
However, before he could rejoice for long, the person strode over and grabbed the animal skin shirt in front of his chest. He was lifted up and slapped a few times. The slaps were quite heavy.
Shao Xuan: "…"
This kind of fierceness in educating children was too similar to the Yanjiao tribe. Everything had to be done after a beating. It was just that he didn't know if all tribes had this kind of barbaric style.
She was already out of strength and had been beaten up by her father. She sniffled and did not dare to cry. She only looked rather aggrieved.
The sturdy man who walked over didn't care about him and threw the person who was beaten up to the side. "Shui Lan, look after him!"
"Okay." The girl who was following behind quickly replied.
After beating up his child, the sturdy man looked at Shao Xuan and restrained the fierceness in his eyes. He tried his best to show a kind smile. However, no matter how he smiled, his eyes still gave people a cold feeling.
"I'm really sorry. Little brother, were you the one who saved Chen Jia? Oh, he is Chen Jia, my child. My name is Fu Shi. "The sturdy man said to Shao Xuan.
"That's right, I saved him." Shao Xuan sighed. "It was my first time leaving the tribe, so I wanted to wander around and see the world. In the end, the first person I met was actually … sigh!"
Shao Xuan told the story of how he met Chen Jia, how he saved Chen Jia, and how Chen Jia, this little rascal, treated him. He didn't lie at all. Shao Xuan only came over when Chen Jia's hands were tied up, so he didn't know what happened before. Therefore, Shao Xuan explained everything in detail. Moreover, he fully played the role of a friendly and kind ignorant person who went out to wander around.
After listening to Shao Xuan's story, Fu Shi clenched his fists so tightly that they made cracking sounds. He glared at Chen Jia fiercely. His eyes seemed to say, "See if I don't teach you a lesson when we get back."
Chen Jia couldn't help but shrink back.
When Fu Shi turned back to look at Shao Xuan, his face revealed a smile and he hurriedly apologized. He didn't forget to explain for his child. "He's not usually like this. It's just that recently, some things were lost in the tribe and we couldn't catch the thief, so …"
So he became this crazy? Shao Xuan glanced at Chen Jia. If it wasn't for his quick hands and ability to deal with it, if it was someone else, how could saving Chen Jia's life only to have their arms twisted and broken?!
Obviously, Fu Shi also knew that his son was in the wrong. The tribe's reputation was already bad, and the shaman had always told everyone to be friendly to outsiders. But in the end, not long after, his own child gave his savior a killing blow. Simply asking for a beating!
Knowing that Shao Xuan didn't know anything about the outside world, he said, "This is the Drumming tribe. We are all from the Drumming tribe."
"Drumming tribe?"
Shao Xuan really hadn't heard of it.
"I come from the Yanjiao tribe." Shao Xuan looked at the other party and said while observing Fu Shi's expression.
Fu Shi frowned and thought carefully, but he really couldn't remember. He simply couldn't find anything related to the "Yanjiao" tribe in his memories.
"Your tribe should be very far away, right?" Fu Shi asked.
"Very far. I took a boat and stayed on the river for more than twenty days before arriving here." Shao Xuan said.
Chen Jia, who was beaten up and thrown to the side, was about to say something when Shui Lan lightly kicked him. Only then did he swallow the words he was about to say.
Fu Shi also seemed to be thinking about the possibility of what he said. Shao Xuan knew that their biggest suspicion was that he "stayed on the river for more than twenty days". It seemed that he would have to explain more about this later.
Although he was also suspicious, Fu Shi still warmly invited Shao Xuan to go back to the tribe with them. He said that he wanted to receive him properly, thank him for saving his child, and also apologize on behalf of his child.
Looking at the sky, Shao Xuan agreed. He knew that the other party wanted to confirm his identity again, but Shao Xuan also thought about how to deal with them. Compared to leaving now, it was better to go back to the Drumming tribe with them. He could also learn more about the situation here from them.
Shao Xuan and Chacha followed behind them and walked towards the central area of the Drumming tribe.
On the way, they met other Drumming tribesmen. Their clothing and weapons were actually not much different from the Yanjiao tribe. At most, they were just a little more meticulous.
Shao Xuan also discovered that there were two types of Drumming tribesmen on the way. One type was like Chen Jia and Fu Shi, with yellow brown eyes that looked very fierce. The other type was like the girl Shui Lan, with black brown eyes that were gentler. Compared to the former, they gave off a more harmless feeling.
After walking through a forest, many buildings appeared in front of Shao Xuan's eyes.
Because the ground was very wet, there were many places with pools. Therefore, most of the buildings here were piled up, while the upper floors were built with dry railings.
In front of many houses, on the lower steps of the stairs, there were some arm-length crocodiles lying on top of them resting.
