Chapter 277 Visitors from Hedong
The crowd gradually calmed down, and the hunters of the Star Tribe shouted hard, trying to maintain order, and at the same time warned everyone not to hide the fallen star fragments, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the priest.

Their warnings apparently had backfires.

At first, everyone was busy avoiding falling objects from high altitude and did not expect to pick up "equipment". At this time, they were reminded and saw the black material falling at their feet. They quickly stepped on it, then looked up and looked around with a little guilt. They were facing it. The others looked at him with the same guilty conscience, and then showed a smile that said nothing.

Not everyone is as pious as Belle, and the Star Tribe has never regarded them as one of their own. What's more, this is pie in the sky. If you don't pick it up, you won't get it. The thunder stone will not lose, and the star core blood will make money.

As soon as the meteorite rain stopped, while others were still frightened, the hunters of the Star Tribe were already out, following the trajectory of the falling stars in search of fallen meteorite fragments.

They are the ancestors of meteorite hunters, and they are even more experienced than modern meteorite hunters. After all, they have a stable source of meteorites and have opportunities to practice every year. However, modern meteorite hunters have to compete with the official government and may not be able to pick up one after working for several years. Once it leaks, most of them are low-quality meteorites that are not worth much.

Chief Nebula knew very well that the meteorites fell over a very wide area. With his sister in the center of the camp, she would not be disturbed by the meteorites. Only a small part of them fell on the periphery of the camp. Even if they were all picked up by the guests, it would not matter. .

But still very upset.

I can give my things, but you can't steal them... This is probably the mentality.

Angry, he really couldn't do anything against these outsiders, because almost everyone was quietly bending down to pick up things they stepped on, and he probably knew what they were picking up.

Oh, these guys thought their movements were hidden, but from a height, he could see everything clearly, including their guilty faces.

If they are searched at this time, I guarantee that all the stolen goods will be found, and they will be caught one by one.

Xingyun is still reasonable and knows that if he really wants to do this, it will definitely arouse public anger and the riot will not end well.

The sacrifice is coming, and...

"Cough! Cough!"

Xingyue on the side covered her mouth and coughed violently.

Nebula immediately stopped thinking and stroked her sister's back, looking at her frown and slightly painful profile, her eyes full of concern.

After a long time, Xingyue managed to hold back her cough, opened her hand to a crack, and then clenched it tightly.

But Nebula had already caught a glimpse of the bright red on her palm.

"Xingyue, you..."

Nebula was about to speak but stopped.I hesitated to speak several times, but in the end nothing came out.

His sister had been sick since she was a child. She would wheeze after walking a few steps, get a fever when the wind blows for a while, and cough when she gets a little excited.

She has been well cared for since she was a child, and Xingyun tries her best to satisfy all her requests, no matter how willful she is.

She wanted to learn to swim, so he brought the water from Sky Lake into the camp and built a "bathing beach" for her; she liked the moon shells in the water, so he "purchased" a large number of these shells from various tribes and used them on the terrain. A light-transmitting house was built for her at the highest place, and she could see the bright starry sky when she opened her eyes...

And she seemed to be a little seashell. Even if she was protected by a hard shell, she could not hide her frailty.

In recent years, her condition has become more and more serious and she has become thinner and thinner.

Xingyun closed her lips tightly without saying a word. She took her sister's bony hand and wiped away the blood stains on her palm with soft leaves.

"Brother, I'm fine."

Xingyue's soft words of relief only made him feel more distressed.

He hated that he was a man, did not have the ability to use the black stone, and could not share the burden for his sister.

He once thought about turning himself into a woman, but it was not easy. The excess part could be cut off. How could the flesh on the chest grow back?He couldn't figure it out, so he never took action.

Xingyue stood up and said: "This time the star fell just above our heads. Many guests came to the tribe. With my strength, I cannot protect everyone. Many people may be injured. I think I should go and see look."

"I'll just go. You have a good rest. There are so many people outside. They don't understand your situation. I'm afraid it will affect..."

"I want to go."

Being interrupted mid-sentence, Xingyun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh when he saw his sister looking at him expectantly.

"Okay, then you have to listen to me and don't run around."

……

"It seems to be alright."

The four wolf boys huddled in the cave and waited for a while, making sure that the meteorite rain had stopped before they walked out of the cave and returned to the lively market.

When their figures were swallowed up by the crowd, there was a sudden rustling movement not far from the cave, the grass and trees shook for a while, and a young man came out and looked in the direction where the four people left, with surprise and uncertainty.

……

"Master Priest!"

"Master Priest!"

The crowd retreated to both sides, and Xingyue and Nebula arrived surrounded by a group of hunters.

This wave of meteorite rain killed one person and injured more than a dozen people. Although others were not injured, they were also greatly frightened.

The injured were gathered together in one place, and witch doctors from each tribe were bandaging their wounds.

Seeing Xingyue, these mournful old men suddenly stopped shouting. They gritted their teeth, straightened their backs, and tightened their chest muscles, pretending to be tough guys.

Except Belle.

Belle held her hands on her chest, lowered her head, and sobbed like a doormat. She didn't even notice the arrival of the priest.

Everyone looked at him with disdain. Many of them knew him and were surprised. In their impression, Belle should not be such a weak man who cried easily.

Xingyue is a thoughtful person, and she realizes that the crying man is not in pain, but because he is so sad that he sheds tears.

Her body was weak and her steps were light, walking toward him quietly.

It wasn't until she knelt down that Belle noticed something strange. When she raised her head, she exclaimed: "Ah! Lord Priest! I...I..."

He was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He mooted for a long time but could not utter a complete sentence, so he had to wipe his tears with the back of his hand.

Xingyue stared at him carefully for a while.

"I've seen you before." She blinked, "You are from the Beiqiu Tribe..."

"Belle, I am Belle! Priest, you still remember me!"

Belle burst into tears on the spot and laughed. The priest still remembered him and she had him in her heart!
Xingyue also smiled, but her smile was a little awkward. She just felt that he looked familiar, but she no longer remembered his name. "You seem sad...why?"

Belle's old face was hot. It was really hard for him to speak in front of so many people. But when he saw the Star Priest's eyes as bright as stars, he remembered that he had cried like a little kid just now. His personality had collapsed. Simply collapsed.

So he spread his hands, revealing the shell fragments in his palms, and said sadly: "This is the ornament I polished with the shells of the Moon in the Water. It is very beautiful, just like... just as beautiful as the priest. It's a pity that in the chaos just now, It was trampled to pieces. I originally... originally wanted to give it to you..."

Belle's old face became even hotter. Fortunately, he was tanned enough that others couldn't tell. They just felt that he was hesitant in speaking, not refreshing enough, and not like a man, so they despised him even more.

Xingyue felt that something in her heart was touched.

She could feel his sincerity.

"I want it," she said.

Belle was stunned, and before he could react, he saw the priest taking a piece of shell fragment from his hand.

Xingyue held up the thin translucent shell and raised her head. The sunlight filtered through the cracked lines, reflecting soft and colorful colors.

"It's very beautiful!" she said, with a colorful smile on her lips, "Thank you for your gift, I like it very much!"

This scene was so beautiful that Belle was fascinated by it. At this moment, he felt as if the injury on his arm had been healed and he no longer felt any pain at all.

Xingyue stood up, glanced at every injured person, and said in a slightly guilty but firm tone: "I failed to protect everyone! But don't worry, I will never let anyone get hurt again!"

The crowd suddenly burst into cheers, shouting "Master Priest", extremely excited.

The four people mixed in the crowd witnessed the whole process, and Zi Yan couldn't help but sigh: "It's amazing..."

She had been a priest and knew how difficult it was to lead a large group of people, let alone to appease the emotions of so many foreigners.

The Star Priest did it in just a few words.

This petite woman possesses an inner strength that belies her appearance and is a born leader.

The wolf boy didn't understand this and only left a very real comment: "She is just like us."

"what?"

Crow and Leopard Gan looked at each other, looking at the star priest with long hair and a friendly smile, and then at the wolf boy with a muddy face and an indistinguishable male and female. There were so many things to say that they didn't know where to start.

Only Zi Yan understood what the wolf boy meant.

The wolf child's perception has always been sharp. She can distinguish the same kind at a glance, which is something that Lin Yu, Zi Yan and Kui cannot do.

This star priest is also a descendant of Nuwa.

Zi Yan thought of the story of Nuwa patching up the sky. Among the five colored stones, red stone, yellow stone, white stone and blue stone have all appeared in the world, and their functions are all clear. The star priest can only use black stone to summon stars.

Nebula didn't say a word from beginning to end, she just looked at her sister, not hiding the pride in her eyes.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and new guests arrived.

The crowd started talking:
"Who are these people? Why haven't I seen any of them?"

"It's a tribe that lives in the west. It's far away from the sea. They don't have much contact with us. They only come to exchange some of our things during sacrifices."

"Ah, it's them! I remembered that the things they brought were really not very good. That is to say, the priests are kind-hearted and willing to exchange with them..."

The Hupi tribe, who lived east of the river and relatively close to the sea, rushed over in a hurry.

"We've finally caught up! We saw falling stars far away and thought we missed the sacrificial ceremony! Chief Xingyun, Priest Xingyue..."

Chief Huzi led the tribe to say hello to Xingyun and Xingyue and gave them gifts.

The moment he took out the gift, all four wolf boys' eyes widened!

A set of pottery bowls and spoons as red as maple and a piece of soft and thin cloth... exactly the same as those produced in Taoyuan!
Could it be said that these guys actually created the same thing?

No, not right.

Crow immediately rejected this idea. They had been at the beach for almost two years. If such a good thing existed among the tribes at the beach, it was impossible that they had not heard of it.

He quietly asked an old man next to him: "Which tribe are they from?"

Knowing that the other party was from Hedong, Wu Yao had a guess in his mind.

From the previous guidance, he already knew that there were various tribes distributed in Hexi, Hedong and the seaside. He also knew that Taoyuan had been in contact with various tribes in Hexi. The Dachuan tribe in Hexi was very famous on the seaside. He knew something about the deeds of the Dachuan tribe. Hear.

Putting all the information together, it becomes clear.

Most of the goods from Taoyuan flowed to Hexi, and then from Hexi to Hedong, and then were brought to the seaside by a group of three-way traders from the Hupi tribe to sell them at high prices.

Crow shared his analysis with the three of them, and they all agreed.

Being in a distant foreign land and seeing the products of their hometown, the four of them had mixed emotions.

Xingyue and Xingyun originally had no expectations. As their tribesmen said, the things brought by the Hedong people in the past were nothing special and were dispensable to them.

But this time the Tiger Skin Tribe was obviously well prepared.

The two received the pottery bowl and cloth respectively. To be honest, because the quantity was small, they looked a bit shabby. After receiving them, they realized that these two gifts were not ordinary!

"Is this...pottery?"

The Star Tribe itself can also make pottery, but this is the first time Nebula has seen such high-quality pottery.

Xingyue kept stroking the cloth, feeling the soft and delicate touch, and asked in surprise: "What kind of animal skin is this? Why is it so light and thin?"

Huzi smiled and said, "This is not animal skin, but linen cloth woven with thread."

As soon as these words came out, not only Xingyue, but also everyone present was shocked from ear to ear.

They also often use hemp to weave things, and they know very well how rough and hard the things weaved with hemp are, but the cloth Huzi brought is as soft as an animal hide that has been tanned by a woman's skillful hands!

"Is this actually twine?" Xingyue couldn't believe it, "How did you do it?"

Huzi spread his hands and said truthfully: "I don't know exactly how it was woven. I bought this piece of cloth from the Big Boat Tribe at a high price, and the Big Boat Tribe also bought it from a tribe called the Sky Clan."
