After destruction came new life.
There used to be no river here, but a thousand years ago, the earth and sky changed. The earth suddenly split open and separated the Flaming Horn ancestors from the other side of the river, forming a huge river that blocked their way back.
Now, the earth changed again. The big river turned into a small river, and the split land closed. On both sides of the river, one side fell down, and the other rose up.
The Flaming Horn tribe's side was uprooted. The mountain they used to live on was now much higher. When they looked up, they could see the white peak of the mountain surrounded by water vapor. There was a layer of white snow there. The place where the fire pond used to be was now buried under the white snow.
The one that fell down was the Drumming tribe's side of the river. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many tribes near the river that were destroyed. No matter how strong the fire seed was, it could keep burning underground. But without people, the fire seed was like a fire source that had burned to the end but had no more firewood. It would disappear quickly and then be destroyed in the depths of the earth.
When Yang Sui went to survey the nearby terrain to determine the destination, he felt that the fire seed nearby had been extinguished. The fire seed was not strong, so it was extinguished quickly. The people of the Luo tribe were all buried deep in the earth.
If the Rain tribe moved here, there would be no conflict between the fire seeds.
In the past, tribes like the Luo tribe liked to be close to the river. But the Rain tribe was different. They planned to plant crops, so they would find a place with more flat land, a little farther from the river. Plus, with the Luo tribe's example, they didn't have the courage to be so close to the river. However, the Rain tribe could divide more land into their own territory. After all, they still needed water to irrigate their crops.
After confirming the location, Yang Sui sent two bags of shells to the people of the Drumming tribe, asking them to help guard the land and prevent other tribes from robbing it.
The people of the Drumming tribe had a good impression of the Rain tribe. To some extent, they all liked water and got along well with each other. The people of the Rain tribe worshipped water. Their belief in rain was far beyond the imagination of the Yanjiao people. Otherwise, Yang Sui, who could pray for rain, wouldn't have such a high status in the Rain tribe.
After confirming the location, Yang Sui hurriedly left with his people. They had to move their tribe here as soon as possible and prepare for winter. Although there was still a long time before winter, the migration would still take some time. Since there were more things to prepare, they had to hurry.
The migration of the Rain tribe was much more troublesome than the migration of the Yanjiao tribe. The Yanjiao tribe had already merged their fire seed, so they didn't need to bring their fire seed with them. However, as a tribe that still had their fire seed, the Rain tribe had to be more careful. It was very risky to bring a fire seed on the road. This was also why many tribes were unwilling to move once they had settled down. It was too troublesome and risky.
When Yanjiao returned to the old land from the other side of the river, they also brought the incomplete fire seed with them. That kind of nervous tension was indeed uncomfortable.
Yang Sui also wanted to try to integrate the fire seed before moving the tribe. Unfortunately, the Rain tribe might not be able to discuss this matter immediately. After all, many years had passed, and the idea of integrating the fire seed was deeply ingrained. Many people couldn't accept it at the moment.
On the way back, Yang Sui sighed. There was no other way. They had to solve the migration problem first, then deal with the people in the tribe later.
In the Yanjiao tribe, the buildings were rebuilt one by one. They were even more magnificent than before. Many of them were drawn by Shao Xuan and finalized after discussing with the craftsmen who were good at building houses. For example, the meeting hall on the mountain, and the 50-meter-tall watchtowers were built on the mountainside and the river bank at the foot of the mountain.
Things were different now. Before the river disappeared, they didn't need to guard against the other side of the river. They only needed to keep an eye on the river. But now, they had to guard against the other side of the river. Although the Drumming tribe and the Rain tribe weren't hostile to Yanjiao, it was better to be cautious. Just because they weren't hostile, it didn't mean others weren't hostile.
They hadn't started planting the Thousand Grain Gold yet. Now wasn't the best time to plant it. The Thousand Grain Gold was too precious and the tribesmen didn't want to waste it. They could only cultivate the land first and plant it next year.
In the other fields, crops suitable for this season had already been planted. The cabbages were harvested when they were in the Fearsome Beast Forest. They were temporarily with the shamaness. There were still some cabbages left on the oxcart. They were planted first.
The Veins of the Sky couldn't be planted on the mountain. The mountain where Yanjiao lived wasn't suitable for planting. So, they planted them in another area, guarded by soldiers every day.
The normal farmland and the special farmland were separated. The normal farmland was more common on the mainland. There were also wanderers working there. The special farmland was mostly planted with seeds from the Ji Ju. The Veins of the Sky were also planted in the special farmland. In the future, the Thousand Grain Gold would be planted there too. The special farmland was taken care of by Shao Xuan, the shamaness, and the chief. The soldiers guarding it were also decided by them. No one else could get close without permission.
Life in the Yanjiao tribe was back on track. After the hunting team was formed, they began to hunt regularly. After four years, many Yanjiao people were very excited to return to this place again. Even the fearsome beasts were more active.
Because of the great changes in the world and the chaos in the forest, the territories of the beasts they were familiar with had changed. They needed to calculate and map again. But that wasn't a problem.
After satisfying the Yanjiao's needs, they would trade some with the Drumming tribe. However, the Drumming tribe was now "poor". They didn't have any water moonstones, so they could only write "IOUs". This didn't matter. They weren't worried about the Drumming tribe reneging on their debt.
On this day, after Shao Xuan fed the green-faced fanged beast some blood, he went to the casting room. When he came out, he heard from the watchtower that the Rain tribe had arrived.
According to the patrolling warriors who were watching over there, the Rain tribe was not in a good state after a long migration. There were many injured people in the tribe, and even those who were not injured were dispirited, looking haggard and haggard.
However, when they arrived, the entire Rain tribe burst into cheers. They were going to welcome a new life here. After taking this step, there was no turning back. Instead of reminiscing about the past, it was better to fight for the future.
Not long after Shao Xuan received the news, Yang Sui brought people over to borrow food.
They hadn't seen each other for a while. Yang Sui looked darker and thinner. When he came over, he was carried on someone's back. This migration was really not easy. As a shaman, he had to protect the fire seed and build a fire pit when they arrived at the destination.
The journey was difficult. They used to be rich, but now they had no money in their pockets. It was difficult to even take out a piece of shell. There were many injured and hungry people in the tribe. Now they could only borrow from Yanjiao.
"One year. Don't worry, we can pay it back by this time next year. Maybe it won't take a year, maybe half a year! " Although Yang Sui was not in good condition, his eyes were bright. He was still confident about the future.
Therefore, not long after Yanjiao settled here, he began to be a creditor. He had two debts, one from the Drumming tribe and the other from the Rain tribe.
