Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 359: Strange Old Man
After leaving the Makkah tribe, Shao Xuan also saw other tribes going out, but he was not with them. Those people were very careful with Shao Xuan, presumably because they were carrying some goods and worried that Shao Xuan would rob them.
Shao Xuan had also traveled a long way, knowing that the team would reject strangers along the way, so he didn't come together, just asked about it at a distance of 20 meters.
The other party saw Shao Xuan did not mean to close in. After reluctantly answering the two questions, he left in a hurry.
Shao Xuan only asked about the geography of the surrounding area, but the other party's answer was too brief. Shao Xuan could only combine the information he had heard from the Makkah tribe to deduce where he was going.
Here, there are tribes and slave jurisdictions, except that tribes and slave owners do not have much contradiction and do not always have conflicts, as they do over the sea. It is common for a number of tribes to even trade frequently in cities under the jurisdiction of their slave owners. The Makkas, for example, often travel in teams to the nearest city in exchange for cloth, copper weapons and so on.
However, Shao Xuan did not intend to wander around the land of the slave owners, and the most important thing he now wanted to know was whether the other half of the Flaming Horn tribe was here or not.
If the flamingos' preferences remained the same, they would probably be more inclined to the mountainous forests, especially where there were many beasts. With more people, beasts and beasts will naturally become less, so Shao Xuan intends to take a chance in the sparsely populated mountain forest.
After questioning the surrounding geography, Shao Xuan knotted the rope once again to determine an orientation and go that way. He was only approximated, not distant, and had to go straight that way.
At first, some distant people could be seen every two days, but gradually, a lot less people were seen, the land became desolate, and the surrounding mountains and forests, though vast, were not known to be soil, and the plants were not flourishing and there were not many big trees.
Shao Xuan looked up and saw that the surrounding area was a slightly desolate mountain, which was overlapping and fluctuating. He did not change the route. He intended to pass from valley to valley and listen carefully to the movement around him. Except for some birds and small beasts, he did not hear other dangerous sounds. The birds and animals sounded relatively peaceful and not frightened. It should be relatively safe here.
There were occasional rivers passing between the valleys. Shao Xuan kept walking along the prescribed route and orientation. When he walked to a stream, he saw someone lying by the water, his head resting next to the stream. When the stream flowed, he also punched the other side of the face. The white hair spread in the water, swinging with the stream.
Shao Xuan would not have cared if the other party had already broken his breath, but he still had a breath of life, which was just a little weak.
Past visiting Tan, Shao Xuan found that this was a very old man with lots of folds on his face, older than he looked from the back. There are no serious traumatic injuries to the person, except for the fractured arm of the right arm, which is all right on the body.
This man is wearing grey clothes. I don't know how much he has been through. The clothes are shattered. It's only a little better than when Shao Xuan first arrived. There are several small copper knives, which look different, but they are small, and the shape doesn't look like they are used as a darker, I don't know exactly what they do. He also had a bag wrapped around his waist, made of animal skin, looking at the leather, and there was also a level of animal, the skin of ordinary animals would not be so strong.
Take a closer look, Shao Xuan carefully turned the person over and moved away from the stream.
He couldn't wake up. The beating didn't move. He couldn't wake up. Shao Xuan's gaze fell on the leather bag between the waist of the other party and poked his hand over there. When the other side was lying by the stream, his left arm, which was not injured, was always there, and even when he flipped over, his arm did not leave, which was a conscious act, indicating that the leather bag of the animal was of great importance to this person.
When Shao Xuan reached for the leather bag, he was not awake, but the muscles on his face moved.
Again, the other party opened his eyes violently, covered with blood silk eyes with protection and killing, his elbows to the ground, quickly rolled two rolls away from Shao Xuan, then one hit the next big stone, the sound of Shao Xuan listened for him pain. Why so excited?
Good thing the person hasn't knocked out yet, it hurts a few times, the person wants to reach out and touch the wounded forehead, but the right arm is injured, the left arm is protected by the beast leather bag, moved the left arm, under thought, put it back where it was, continue to protect the beast leather bag, let the blood flow on the forehead, but his eyes stare at Shao Xuan, afraid Shao Xuan came to rob something.
“Don't worry, I won't rob.” Shao Xuan saw him like this and said.
At this age, I don't know why I fainted by the stream. I just woke up and hit another stone. It's not good to feel better.
The spirit of the other party relaxed slightly, but the guard remained intact.
“Want to rob me early and wait till now? Besides, even if I were to rob you right now, would you stop me?” Shao Xuan said.
That's right. The guard in the eyes of the old man with white hair has been removed. When he wakes up, his killer stops, his brain still faints. He slows down, moves his nose, and looks at Shao Xuan: "Are you carrying meat? ”
The tone of the question is very definite.
Shao Xuan reached out and pulled a piece of meatloaf out of the bag and threw it. "Why are you fainting here? ”
The old man hurriedly grabbed Shao Xuan's thrown meat jerky, smelled it, his eyes slightly disgusted, but the action was not slow. He bit a few bites and ate it quickly. He answered Shao Xuan's words unclearly: "Hungry. ”
I thought it was poisoning or something, but I didn't think the answer was hungry.
Quickly finished the piece of meat dried by Shao Xuan. The old man looked at Shao Xuan again: “Is there anything else? ”
Shao Xuan pulled out a piece again, but instead of passing it immediately, he said: "Answer me a few questions first, and I will give you the meat in my hand. ”
The old man frowned and did not speak, seemingly unhappy.
Shao Xuan didn't care either. He lifted his finger and asked: "How long will it take to see the dense woods? ”
After hearing Shao Xuan's problem, the old man's frown wrinkled loosened. What problem do you think it is? It turns out this is it.
“I don't know, I've never been there, and I'm new here. However, as far as I can tell, in at least two days, you won't be able to see the dense woods, just like here.” The old man replied, "There is a famous wasteland, not even a single tribe, even if you walk in for another two days, you won't see anyone else. ”
Pass the meat to the old man. Shao Xuan washed his face by the stream and continued on the road. The old man eats meat with spirit and can go. Don't worry about Shao Xuan.
However, Shao Xuan did not take a few steps and the voice of the old man came from behind him.
“Hey, wait a minute! That little brother! ”
He was just like a burglar guard, and now “Little Brother” screams affectionately. There must be other intentions when they are so intimate.
Shao Xuan turned around and asked him what was really going on.
The old man climbed up from the ground, looked around, his eyes stayed in one place, and he was happy to point at it: "There, just the grass with the white pattern, you take it off. ”
Listen to this tone. It's a commanding gesture. And look at the old man's fingers, almost 90 degrees perpendicular to the ground, at least 30 meters from the ground, where a few grasses with half arms with white stripes grow.
Shao Xuan Ben wanted to turn around and go, but he didn't seem to realize his tone was wrong. Shao Xuan thought about it, waved his head, forget it, and didn't compare to the elderly. Moreover, he also wanted to know what the white grass was for.
It's always good to know more in such a strange place.
