survival in the wilderness

Chapter 179
Lin Yan hurriedly put down the pen in her hand. It was noon outside and when the sun was at its most venomous, she was copying books in the cabin.

As soon as I heard Huang Ying's cry, I couldn't sit still anymore, and ran to the bow of the boat.

Looking in the direction Huang Ying pointed, I saw a densely packed house. It was too far away to see clearly, but it was indeed a house.

Judging from the situation, there should be a lot of people, Yun Qing ordered the boat to slow down, and everyone should eat and drink enough to get ready.

Judging from the number of people, they have no advantage at all.

The boat docked slowly, Yun Qing sent five people to investigate the situation first, and Shui Sheng was among them, it was he who insisted on going.

Considering Shuisheng's unique language talent, Yun Qing finally agreed to let him go.

After the five people set off, every minute the people on the boat waited was suffering, not knowing what they would encounter.

Huang Ying stood beside Lin Yan and said softly, "Shuisheng and the others will definitely come back safely."

Lin Yan didn't respond, in fact, she didn't know what to do.What kind of situation Shuisheng and the others will encounter is unknown. Looking at such a large house from a distance, there must be many people living there.

Judging from the houses they lived in, their lives would not be too backward, at least they were separated from the life of savages.

This wait lasted for more than two hours, and when everyone was anxious and ready to send someone to investigate again, Shui Sheng and the others came back.

Not only five people, but also ten strangers, all tall and big, holding thick sticks.

What made Lin Yan's eyes brighten was that the cloth wrapped around the waists of these ten people was neither fur nor leaves.

Lin Yan got off the boat after Yun Qing, and looked at the stranger opposite.

Shui Sheng raised his voice and said, "Captain Yunqing, this is the Wilderness Tribe. We were discovered the moment we entered. These ten people are warriors of the Wilderness Tribe. This is Yuan Qing, their leader."

Yuan Qing looked at Yun Qing and the others, and then at the three ships behind them, with amazement and envy flashing in his eyes.

Yun Qing nodded to Yuan Qing and the others as a gesture of goodwill, but she did not intend to invite them to board the boat. She said, "We are from Sun City, passing by here, there is no malice."

Shui Sheng explained to Yuan Qing and the others with difficulty, he spoke very slowly, jumping out word by word, sometimes he would stop for a while before continuing, even making gestures.

It was the first time I came into contact with the language of the wilderness tribe. Even if Shui Sheng was talented, it still needed a process. It was not easy to communicate in such a short period of time.

Yuan Qing and the others also had a hard time listening, trying to communicate with Shui Sheng.

Shui Sheng looked at Yun Qing, "They want to take a look on the boat."

Yun Qing didn't nod, but asked instead: "What was the attitude of the Yuanye tribe when they first discovered you?"

"It was surprising and unexpected. There were some precautions, but they didn't do anything. They didn't show any malice when they followed us."

Yun Qing thought for a while and said: "Our purpose is to go to the wilderness tribes to take a look, you can talk to them and see what they think."

Shuisheng turned his head and talked with Yuan Qing for a few minutes, then turned around and said, "They agreed with us to go in, but they insisted on getting on the boat."

Yun Qing glanced at Lin Yan and asked her what she was thinking.

Lin Yan said: "Let them go up, the boat is there, and you can't tell anything at a glance. If they see their clothes, it's not linen. We must go to the wilderness tribe to have a look."

Others heard the words and looked at Yuan Qingshi's clothes, only to find that it was very similar to linen, but the color was hard to describe.It looks like white, but not pure white, some yellowish.

Huang Ying asked directly, "Lin Yan, how did you tell it wasn't linen?"

"It can be seen through careful observation with mental strength, except that the color is different, it is finer than linen, and it must be softer to the touch."

Lin Yan felt that the cloth worn by Yuan Qing and the others should be cotton, which is more comfortable to wear than linen.

While Lin Yan and the others were discussing, Shui Sheng and Yuan Qing had discussed and agreed for them to board the boat.

Lin Yan didn't follow, but stayed on the shore. She said, "We will go to the wilderness tribe later, we must take a closer look. Judging from the houses of the wilderness tribe, their living standards should be similar to ours. There must be some of us. It is something we can learn from.”

Shi Zhi's eyes lit up, they all knew the purpose of Lin Yan's coming out.

Huang Ying smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will all pay attention. We will not miss any of them."

Half an hour later, Yuan Qingshi and the others looked at all three ships. Their expressions were very excited, as if they had found a big treasure.

Yun Qing left half of the people on the boat, and the rest went to the wilderness tribe together.

Lin Yan's children followed, they were not adults yet, when Yuan Qing saw them, his eyes became less wary.

Yun Qing saw everything in his eyes.

After walking for more than ten minutes, I saw the houses of the Wilderness Tribe, which were very low and about two meters high. They were made of a mix of stone walls and wood, and the roofs were covered with thatch.The door is made of several pieces of wood with gaps.

The houses are very low and simple, looking like they could collapse at any time.The surrounding area is overgrown with weeds and there is no trace of maintenance.The scattered houses are built randomly without any rules.

As soon as they saw Lin Yan and the others, everyone in the house ran out, chattering around them.

Both adults and children looked very surprised. They had never seen outsiders come to the tribe, especially the newcomers were obviously dressed differently.

Lin Yan and the others were also very surprised to see the aborigines of the Wilderness Tribe. They were all wrapped in cloth, most of their dark skin was exposed, and their brown hair was scattered.

Except for their clothes and hair, they looked similar to those in Sun City.

Lin Yan looked at them with a smile on his face, making himself look friendly and easy to get along with.

With Yuan Qing leading the way, they walked through many low, shabby houses all the way to the central area, in front of a house that looked fairly clean.

On a piece of tended grass, there were already people waiting. They were the leader and four elders of the Wilderness Tribe, two men and three women.

The oldest old lady is the leader Yuan Yu, with gray hair and stooped body, she looks like she is dying.

Yuan Qing and the others stepped forward and talked to the five of them for a few minutes, looking at Yun Qing and the others while talking.

During the whole process, Lin Yan didn't understand a word, so she asked, "Shuisheng, what are they talking about?"

"It seems to be talking about us and the boat. It's too fast, and I can't quite understand it." Shui Sheng listened to their conversation intently, and could only distinguish some of the words.

"You tell them, can someone take us around the wilderness tribe."

It's useless to stay because of the language barrier, Lin Yan wanted to take a casual walk.

Shui Sheng stepped forward and spoke slowly for a long time before getting Yuan Yu's nod.

Half an hour later, Yuan Qing led them around the tribe, Lin Yan and the others stared wide-eyed, not missing every place.
