Chapter 128 Yamaha’s Visit (Part )
In an instant, the atmosphere became solemn.
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Yamaye stood up suddenly.
Wave your hand!
A black light flashed.
Ji Shi felt a sudden chill on his exposed chest, and before he could react, a black knife was already against his heart.
The blade pushed gently.
It instantly cut his skin, and a trace of bright red blood oozed out, seeping down like a thin red line.
Ji Shi's face suddenly turned pale.
"No...no, Chief Yamaye, what are you doing!" He looked at Yamaye in horror, his eyes wide open, his voice trembling, and his teeth chattering.
After being pointed at like this, my rationality instantly returned.
It's so careless!
It was all because of the continuous traveling in the past few days. The pain in his feet was like fine needles constantly pricking his nerves, making him unable to control his inner emotions. He even forgot that in Yamaye's eyes, he was now just an insignificant minion.
Yamaye could naturally take his life at any time!
Thinking of what he had just done, a trace of regret flashed in Ji Shi's eyes.
Even though Shanye is a fool, his performance just now is obviously not like that of a qualified subordinate. If he is exposed, Chief Shanyan will not care so much.
He must suffer some hardship!
"Ji Shi, you have been becoming more and more presumptuous recently. Are you the leader or am I the leader?" Shan Ye's eyes were as cold as ice, and he looked as if his dignity was challenged.
This is a strong statement.
Ji Shi muttered to himself: It’s all the fault of that old chief Shanyan. He didn’t even give me a decent identity!
Although he was unwilling to accept it, he had to swallow his hatred when thinking about the food of his people and the methods of Chief Shanyan.
He bowed his head and pretended to be terrified: "Of course it's you, of course it's you."
"I was too anxious just now, and I was only thinking about completing the task assigned by Chief Shanyan, so I was a little impulsive. Please forgive my recklessness, Chief."
As Ji Shi spoke, he secretly glanced at Shan Ye's expression. Seeing that the other party's brows were still furrowed, he added in a low voice: "It's all the fault of these ungrateful guys!"
It seems to want to divert the contradiction.
Yamaye couldn't stand it any longer: "Shut up!"
"From now on, don't say another word! If you dare to talk too much again, get back to the tribe immediately!" After saying that, he retracted the knife and wiped the blood viciously.
Thinking of the thoughts of the Shanyan tribe leader, Ji Shi swallowed his saliva, and despite Shan Ye's piercing gaze, he still whispered:
"Chief Yamaye, you really can't easily agree to give them this salt..."
Shanye glared at him with annoyance in his eyes. He ignored him and turned to the warriors of the Mountain Rock Tribe and ordered: "Put down your weapons!"
"Shh-"
These warriors were obviously more obedient than Ji Shi and immediately put away their weapons.
The raging flames were easily extinguished.
Shanye played with the knife in his hand and said casually: "Chen Qi, of course Chief Shanyan didn't mean that."
"She asked me to convey that as long as you agree to this, Dusk Rock Forest will become your safe place."
After these words were spoken, the scene fell into complete silence, and the people of the Shanyan tribe all stared at Chen Qi, waiting to see his reaction.
It sounds like a good deal with huge profits.
But Chen Qi stared at the food on the ground with a complicated expression.
After a while,
Shanye suddenly said, "Salt, I will help you get it."
The tone of voice carried a hint of condescension.
Hearing this, Shen Qi gritted his teeth and finally said, "Of course we can't let you go back empty-handed. We will definitely give you this method, but it's not appropriate to say it in front of so many people, right?"
Yamaye raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Ah, this is a compromise?
She thought Chen Qi had some tricks.
But it’s better this way, she can have an explanation when she goes back.
Although I want to help them, the remaining people in the Shanqing tribe also need a way to survive, right?
"You all go down." Yamaye waved his hand.
The warriors of the Mountain Rock Tribe retreated together, but Ji Shi stood motionless by the side, with no intention of leaving.
Seeing this, Yamaye sneered in his heart and pretended not to see it.
She turned her head, looked at Chen Qi and asked, "Chief Chen Qi, can you tell me now?"
"Chief Shanye, this pottery jar is very troublesome to make. We can't explain it clearly, and I'm afraid we have to ask the Shanyan tribe to send someone to learn it." Chen Qi's tone was a little depressed, as if he was reluctant but had to compromise.
When Ji Shi heard this, he frowned and was about to interrupt, but he held himself back.
He can no longer jump in impulse.
Who would have thought that Shanye would actually ask what he was thinking: "Wouldn't it be the same if you went to the Shanyan Tribe?"
Hearing this, a trace of shame flashed across Shen Qi's eyes:
"The warriors of our tribe are usually busy hunting and can't make pottery pots properly. This method was developed by the elders of the tribe. They are not in good health and can't walk too far."
"Another thing is that we don't know if there are any materials needed to make pottery near the Shanyan Tribe."
Shanye glanced at Ji Shi casually and asked in a disapproving tone, "Can't you just take it over there?"
"That will waste even more time. We need to build a kiln to make earthenware jars." As he spoke, Chen Qi pointed to the mound of earth on the open space.
The pottery kiln is very dark in color and seems to be a bit moist.
Ji Shi looked over and narrowed his eyes.
"It rained a few days ago, and the pottery kiln is not yet completely dry. Our firing attempts over the past few days have all failed." When he said this, Shen Qi's tone was a little disappointed.
"This thing is very difficult to build, and it must be dried naturally. We spent a lot of time and soil to build these two. If we carry the materials to the Mountain Rock Tribe, it will be too troublesome."
Chen Qi's words directly blocked their idea of going to the Shanyan Tribe to build one.
After hearing this, Ji Shi scratched his head subconsciously, feeling a strange feeling lingering in his heart, but he couldn't react for a while and figured out what was wrong...
When he lowered his eyes to think, Chen Qi spoke again: "Wait two days, when Chief Shanye goes back to ask Chief Shanyan about the salt matter, he will send people here, and the pottery kiln will be thoroughly worked on."
"It can be used to make pottery jars. Wouldn't it be better to learn this method first and then go back and slowly build it?"
"Chief Shanyan could also think carefully about who to send to learn, right?"
His eyes darted back and forth between Yamaye and Himeshoku with a hint of tentativeness.
Ji Shi snorted in his heart.
He finally realized what was wrong - he had brought so many strong warriors with him, so what was the big deal about carrying some things?
How could Chief Shanyan be afraid of this little trouble?
The Yanyuan tribe seemed to have compromised and given in, but in fact they were still thinking about the salt.
You think you can hide this little secret from him?
But there is some truth in this.
This small tribe is so small, and with so many people coming, we can't just let them all stand around and watch the production.
He knows that old guy very well!
Chief Shanyan is definitely not willing to share this skill with outsiders easily, so she will definitely let the people of the Shanyan tribe learn it.
It would only take two days to go back, so it wouldn't delay anything. Could the Yanyuan tribe disappear within two days?
Thinking of this, Ji Shi was too lazy to interrupt. He just crossed his arms over his chest and watched coldly.
Yamaye has a bad temper, and he doesn't want to offend her again.
I was really furious just now and my thoughts went astray.
After calming down, he finally understood: If this matter was not handled well, Chief Shanyan would definitely blame Shanye, and it would have nothing to do with him!
Ji Shi couldn't help but chuckle. Why should I worry with her?
I must think of other ways to make meritorious service so that this trip won't be in vain.
Thinking of this, his round eyes began to move around restlessly.
Yamaye thought for a moment and nodded.
"call--"
Chen Qi heaved a sigh of relief and pointed to the jars in the cave nearby and said, "Let's send those pottery jars to Chief Shanyan first and ask for forgiveness for the delay in the past two days."
Quite clever!
Ji Shi thought that now Chief Shanyan probably wouldn't be dissatisfied.
Maybe if he's in a good mood, he'll actually share some salt with them so that they can live a few more days.
Shan Ye raised his eyebrows, "Chief Chen Qi is really a man who knows how to do things. Chief Shan Yan will definitely be satisfied. Then let's make it a deal."
Chen Qi forced a smile and said, "I also ask Chief Shanye to get some salt for our tribe. Without salt, we won't be able to survive the winter."
Yamaha nodded slightly, looking cold.
Although she didn't know what Chen Qi's plan was, this matter would definitely be beneficial to her.
At this time,
Ji Shi limped to the front of Shanye and leaned down slightly: "Chief Shanye, I want to go take a look, is it okay for you?"
"Go."
After getting permission, Ji Shi took a few warriors and headed straight for the cave of Yanyuan tribe.
Chen Qi and Shan Ye looked at each other and tacitly sneered.
Of course, this is not just to check the pottery jar, but more importantly, to take the opportunity to take a look at whether the Yanyuan tribe has other treasures.
"Chen Qi, you don't look like you are prepared..."
Yamaye had a fake smile on his face, his mouth tightly closed, and an indistinct sound came out of his throat.
Ji Shi left, but this time there was still a group of warriors from the Mountain Rock Tribe watching him from a distance.
"You're not really going to give it to me, are you?"
Yamaye continued, "Yes, if you don't hand it over, there seems to be no other way."
"Don't think I don't know that you are deliberately delaying time, but is it really useful?" Shanye said to himself, not expecting to get an answer from Chen Qi.
She followed this play for a long time, and only discovered that Chen Qi was deliberately delaying time.
But I couldn't guess what they were planning.
Chen Qi lowered his voice and said, "It's better for you not to know about this. This is also for the sake of you and your people."
Chief Shanyan is not a kind person, and he will not accept all the tribes that come to him for help.
He only kept useful people.
For example, capable tribal leaders, witch doctors proficient in witchcraft, strong warriors, and young women who can give birth to life.
The conquered clan leaders would then be transformed into small chiefs under his command, responsible for directing hunting or running errands.
Each leader's team must also be mixed with warriors from other tribes and warriors from the Rock Tribe.
Of course, there might be his spies as well!
If those small leaders are reluctant to abandon their people, then these people must move to a place within half a day's journey away from the Rock Tribe.
If there is a cave, live in it; if there is no cave, live in a thatched hut.
This is done, of course, to better control these people.
The Shanqing tribe is a large tribe. Despite being attacked by cannibals, the number of survivors is still considerable, even more than the current number of their Yanyuan tribe.
Chief Shanyan sent Shanye here, apparently because he was a little suspicious of what happened at the trade fair.
If they leave and Chief Shanyan gets furious, Shanye will be in big trouble.
They hadn't expected that it was Yamaha who came this time, so now they could only try their best to make everything look more realistic.
We must not let these people become suspicious...
Seeing that Chen Qi didn't speak, Shan Ye lowered his eyes and spoke in a barely perceptible voice: "Chen Qi, the purpose of the Shanyan tribe leader is definitely not that simple, you..."
She couldn't continue talking here, touched the bone ornament on the end of her hair, and said softly: "You have to be careful."
There was something obviously wrong with Ji Shi.
This is why she tolerated his frequent interruptions, otherwise she would have killed him long ago!
She wanted to take this opportunity to get a glimpse of things, but she also wanted Chen Qi to notice something was wrong.
But Chief Shanyan is a cautious person. Even though Shanye has followed her for many winters, there are still many things she doesn't understand.
“Hmm…” Chen Qi’s abdomen responded.
Then he reminded: "Yamaye, this Ji Shi is not simple, you..."
Before he finished speaking,
"Click——"
A crisp sound suddenly came.
The two of them turned around quickly and looked quickly towards the source of the sound.
The pottery jar was broken.
At the same time, everyone else turned their heads to look, and saw Ji Shi lying on the ground, screaming "Ouch, ouch", with cuts on his hands from the fragments of the pottery jar.
Yanya quietly tugged at Xi Yiqi's hide and whispered, "Sister Xi Yiqi, look!"
"what's wrong?"
Isn't it just a broken jar?
Staring at the broken brown pottery pieces on the ground, Xi Yiqi felt calm.
Anyway, those jars haven't been burned yet. They are the products of her failed experiments some time ago. Those jars have been exposed to the sun, so they can be used to store things.
I also applied some carbon ash, and it looked fine.
If you give it, just give it away.
Ster smiled slyly and whispered, "Actually, Yan Ya wanted to say... Ji Shi fell into chicken shit!"
"puff--"
Nishi Ichiqi quickly covered his mouth, his eyes widened, and he almost couldn't hold it in!
Upon closer inspection, Ji Shi had indeed fallen flat on his face in the chicken coop.
By the way, those chickens - that is, the renamed flying beasts.
I've been slaughtered and stewed!
As for the chicken coop, although it has been demolished, the stinking chicken droppings have not been cleaned up yet.
Well, opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
