As soon as Shao Xuan rushed into the tribe, he called for the shamaness, chief and team leaders.
Not long after, the two shamanesses rushed into the house. The two chiefs and three team leaders also rushed over.
According to the messenger, Shao Xuan came back in a hurry for something. He didn't say why Shao Xuan wanted to see them, but they heard that it was urgent. If it was just a small matter, Shao Xuan wouldn't have summoned them in such a hurry. So, they all put down what they were doing and rushed over.
They knew that Shao Xuan went to chase after the bandits, so they were relieved to see him come back safely. But why was he in such a hurry?
As soon as they stepped through the door, the first thing they saw was a big bag placed there.
"What's this?" asked the shamaness.
Shao Xuan untied the rope and big leaves that wrapped the vegetable ball, revealing the green vegetable ball inside.
This house was where the tribe usually held meetings and discussed important matters. The door of the stone house had been widened, so Shao Xuan didn't feel crowded when he carried the vegetable ball in. On the way, Shao Xuan also tried his best not to let the vegetable ball hit the branches, so until now, the vegetable ball was still in good condition.
"I found something, I think it might be useful," said Shao Xuan.
As he spoke, someone came in. It was Guang Yi.
When Shao Xuan returned to the tribe, he saw Guang Yi outside the Fearsome Beast Forest. He was patrolling the newly opened fields, so he asked him to bring two birds over.
The birds that Guang Yi brought in were the dumb birds that the Lu tribe had just shipped over.
"Dumb birds" were the large birds raised by the Lu tribe. Shao Xuan had seen them before. Because their upper limbs had deteriorated, they couldn't fly. Their bodies were fat, and their legs were thick and fleshy, so they were raised by the Lu tribe as food. Perhaps because they were tamed by the Lu tribe, these birds lost their original wildness. They were much dumber than the beasts in the forest, so they were called dumb birds.
Yanjiao had expanded and created many fields and animal pens on Wanshi's land. The animal pens were naturally for breeding. They had already bought some baby beasts from the Lu tribe.
The first batch of dumb bird chicks had arrived. They were much bigger than adult ducks. After all, their eggs were big, so the birds that hatched would naturally be bigger than other birds.
Shao Xuan asked Guang Yi to bring in the chicks and an adult dumb bird. The chicks were small so they were brought into the stone house. The adult dumb bird was placed on the wooden cart.
"Why did you bring dumb birds here?" asked Ao.
"Let's see if they're edible." As he spoke, he tore off two leaves from the vegetable ball and handed them to the baby Dumb Bird. The other leaf was placed next to the adult Dumb Bird's mouth.
Although they had already tried it with the flying squirrel, they had to be careful. What if something happened to the people in the tribe who ate it?
Shao Xuan had planned to feed the birds if they didn't eat the leaves. Unexpectedly, both the chicks and the adult dumb birds were happily pecking at the leaves.
Even though they were tied to the wooden cart, the dumb birds were energized when they saw food. They pecked at the leaves very quickly. In comparison, the chicks were much slower.
Seeing Shao Xuan's actions, the people in the house understood what Shao Xuan meant. They looked at the dumb birds who were happily munching on the leaves and their faces lit up.
"This is edible?!" said Zheng Luo excitedly.
Every time they found an edible food, they felt a sense of accomplishment. It was one thing for them to eat ferocious beasts. After so many years, they had gained experience in dealing with them. However, plant-based food was their weakness.
Being able to eat meant that they could try to grow food. Even if they, the totem warriors, didn't usually eat food, they could feed it to the women and children in the tribe. In addition to meat, they would also eat some fruits and other grains. The seeds they brought back from the other side of the sea hadn't borne fruit yet. Now, they only ate a few kinds of food. If there was one more kind of food that could be widely grown, they would be happy, even if it wasn't enough to satisfy their hunger.
They didn't lack food. With the fearsome beast forest behind them, they could hunt. There were also large fields and animal pens outside. They had enough food. They could afford to try planting. Being able to plant new crops was also a proof of their tribe's ability. They would be proud of themselves.
Just like this time, when the big tribes came, they learned to be smart. They didn't bring gold, but instead brought their own specialties. Some were more expensive, some were more ordinary. Among the ordinary gifts, there were a few that the Yanjiao people had never seen before. They were all grown within the tribes.
In the past, when they lacked food, they didn't care. But now it was different. They felt that a tribe that could grow all kinds of food was more impressive.
Duo Kang looked at the big ball of vegetables Shao Xuan brought back and smiled meaningfully. He could use it to show off. When he went to other tribes in the future, he would give them a big ball of vegetables.
Yanjiao's specialty?
That sounded good. Who said Yanjiao couldn't grow good things? How could a normal person grow such a big ball of vegetables?
Hmm …
Everyone in the stone house stared at the vegetable ball with a deep look in their eyes. However, Shao Xuan did not know what they were thinking. He was watching the two dumb birds for their reactions.
Ten minutes passed.
The dumb bird chick pooped in the stone house. It was a little tired, but it was still in good spirits. As for the one outside, it was even more energetic. It was clamoring to eat more.
Seeing that there were no problems, Duo Kang rolled up his sleeves. "Why don't I try it first?"
"Wait, there's no rush." Shao Xuan stopped Duo Kang from pulling the leaves.
"How can there be no rush? If it's really edible, we should quickly dig some back and plant it. What if the other tribes get it first? "Duo Kang still wanted to use it to show off.
"That's not the most important thing." As he spoke, Shao Xuan took out the Vein of the Sky wrapped in leaves from the animal skin bag.
When he wrapped it, he put soil inside. After removing the soil, he carefully brushed it clean with a brush. Shao Xuan held up the Vein of the Sky, which was missing a small part of its roots, for everyone to see.
"This … it feels …" Guigou couldn't explain it. He just felt that it was familiar.
Ta looked at the Vein of the Sky's roots and felt a chill. "I think I've seen it before, but I've never seen it before."
Ta's words were contradictory, but everyone knew that when he said he had seen it before, he meant that he felt it was familiar. But they had never seen this plant before.
Shao Xuan understood everyone's feelings. Although many people in the tribe would observe the body structure of their prey after hunting so that they could give it a fatal blow the next time they hunted, they had never done this for humans. They knew the general distribution of the meridians because when they used their totemic power, they would have a hazy feeling. Following the direction of their totemic power, they could "see" the meridians in their body.
That was why Gui He, Ta, and the others had said that he looked familiar.
"It looks similar to the meridians in our body. Because it grows like this, it's also called the 'Vein of the Sky'!" Shao Xuan said.
"Vein of the Sky?!!" Zheng Luo and the old shaman shouted at the same time.
When they were on the other side of the sea, they had heard about the Vein of the Sky, but they had never seen it before. It was said that only the people in the Royal City had it. It had been many years since they last heard about the Veins of the Sky from the Taihe tribe.
"Vein of the Sky? The rumored Vein of the Sky that can reconnect broken meridians?! "The old shaman's voice trembled with excitement.
Duo Kang and Zheng Luo's faces were red with excitement.
"That's what the Vein of the Sky looks like?!"
"Shao Xuan, where did you find it?!"
In the room, eight pairs of eyes stared at Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan briefly told them about his discovery of the Vein of the Sky and the cabbage.
When they heard Shao Xuan say there might be a thousand-year-old Vein of the Sky there, even the usually calm shaman and chief breathed heavily.
"Dig it up!!" The two shamans shouted at the same time.
The leaders and leaders were also rubbing their fists and palms. They couldn't wait to tear down that piece of land and carry it all back.
"As for the cabbage …" Shao Xuan said.
"Dig it up too!"
"Dig it up, dig it up, dig it all up!"
Even an idiot knew the value of the Vein of the Sky. Yanjiao would never give it up. The Chinese cabbage Shao Xuan was talking about had an unknown origin. Regardless of whether the Ji family was involved, it could be eaten, it could grow big, it might even grow fast. Most importantly, it was easy to survive!
What were the Yanjiao farmers afraid of?
It wasn't a bad harvest. No matter how bad it was, there was still something to be gained. Their large-scale planting had just started not too long ago. Everything was still in the trial and error stage. It was impossible for them to compete with other tribes who were good at planting. There had to be a process of practice.
If they could succeed, perhaps it would be a big breakthrough for the Flaming Horn tribe. It would also give everyone enough confidence and confidence.
In the ancestral records, the glorious Flaming Horn tribe was not only strong in terms of fighting, but also in terms of farming, breeding, and handicrafts. The current Flaming Horn tribe had just woken up from a deep slumber. If they wanted to regain their former status, they still needed to work hard from all sides.
The 'cabbage' was a piece of juicy meat to them. They wouldn't give it up either!
They discussed in the house for a while, then looked at the two dumb birds. The young one was looking around curiously while the one outside was dozing off out of boredom.
It was not poisonous and could be eaten.
This solidified everyone's resolve.
There wasn't much time for them to do more experiments. They were worried that someone else would find out about the land. They wanted to do more experiments and move everything back first!
Thus, not long after Shao Xuan rushed back, he left with a large group of people. One of them was the chief, two of the leaders, and many of the smaller leaders. The tribe didn't want to keep it a secret either. Perhaps other tribes would secretly follow them, but the land belonged to Yanjiao. Who would want to steal it? They didn't say much, just do it!
