Chapter 347 Chapter 347 Fish Tribe Harvest
Jiang Li and Heiba ​​squatted by the ditch to pick up wild ducks.

Yao Xiaoqing looked around and said to Jiang Li: "You two pack me up and follow the ditch to have a look up."

"I'll accompany you." Jiang Li said as he handed the wild duck to Heiba, picked up the bow and arrow on the ground, and followed Yao Xiaoqing up the ditch.

There are a lot of herbs in the forest by the ditch. Yao Xiaoqing collected some Aescinus chinensis, star anise lotus, and She Mie Men by the ditch, put the snake medicine into a sheepskin bag, and prepared to move on.

"Xiaoqing!" Jiang Li grabbed her, "There is someone in front."

Yao Xiaoqing raised her head, and at a glance, she saw seven or eight dark-skinned men standing in the bushes more than ten meters away from the two of them, holding weapons in their hands and looking at her and Jiang Li vigilantly.

"Jiang Li, they should be from a nearby tribe. I'll ask them to see what seeds their tribe has?"

"Xiaoqing," Jiang Li hastily pulled her back, and told her in a low voice, "You stay here, I'll go talk to them!" After saying that, he put down his bow and arrow, and walked towards them with a smile on his face.

Yao Xiaoqing stood there looking at Jiang Li's back, and watched the men warily.

Several people in the bush saw Jiang Li put down his weapon and came over, and a square-faced man came out of the forest with a spear.He stopped when he was five or six steps away from Jiangli.

He raised his spear and pointed it at Jiang Li, "Which tribe do you belong to? This is the territory of the Fish tribe, leave quickly."

Jiang Li found that their language was different from the tribes he met earlier. Looking at the big fish totem painted on his bare arms, he guessed that they were the tribes that migrated from the river.

He took a step forward and said with a smile: "Warrior, I am Jiang Li from the Qingshan Tribe. I came to the forest to look for food seeds. I have no ill intentions towards you."

The man also felt that Jiang Li had no malice, and his hand holding the spear relaxed a little.Hearing Jiang Li chattering, he shook his head repeatedly at him, expressing that he didn't understand what he said.

The tribes he encountered along the way were all in different languages. Jiang Li had already had experience in talking with them, so he grabbed some pumpkin seeds from his pocket with a smile and made a gesture of sowing.

Only then did the man understand, he stepped forward to glance at the seeds in Jiang Li's hands, shook his head repeatedly, and gestured to show that they did not have such seeds.

Jiang Li now understood what he meant, smiled and made an exchange gesture, and handed him the pumpkin seeds.

The man took the seeds and realized that he wanted to exchange the seeds of this food with them.

He had never seen such a seed before, who knew if the fruit could be eaten?
Thinking this way, he handed the seeds back to Jiang Li, and shook his head at him, expressing that he did not want to exchange them.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Li understood that they didn't believe in him, and regretted not bringing the pumpkin.

A few men in the bush saw the two gesticulating there for a long time, and came out of the bush curiously, "Canghe, which tribe does he belong to, and what are you doing here?"

Canghe shook his head and spread his hands, "The seeds he gave, he said he would exchange seeds with us."

Several people saw the pumpkin seeds in his hand, looked at Jiang Li curiously, and said to Cang He, "Ask him, what kind of fruit can such seeds grow?"

Cang He turned his head and pointed at the seeds and gestured at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li thought for a while after seeing it, understood what he meant, and gestured to him about the size of the pumpkin.

Now everyone in the Fish Tribe understood, and they all showed a look of surprise.

The man standing on the left of Canghe pouted, "He must have lied to us."

Cang He nodded, "I'm also afraid that he will lie to us and want to give him back the seeds, and you are here again." After saying that, he stuffed the seeds in Jiang Li's hands.

Jiang Li looked at it for a while, and understood what they meant, and said that he had the fruit of the seed, and he could show them.

Seeing that those people had surrounded him, Yao Xiaoqing also walked over, "Jiang Li, what are they talking about?"

Jiang Li shook his head with a wry smile, "He doesn't believe us."

Yao Xiaoqing stepped forward and said to several people: "We didn't lie to you, this is a pumpkin, and the fruit it grows is so big."

Canghe glanced at Yao Xiaoqing who was gesticulating, and kept looking at the arrows in her quiver.

He looked at Yao Xiaoqing's arrow, then at the bow and arrow in his companion's hand, thought for a while, took one from his companion, handed the arrow to Jiang Li, pointed to the end of the arrow shaft in his hand, and pointed to the quiver The arrow feathers chattered to Jiang Li.

Yao Xiaoqing immediately understood what he meant, "Jiang Li, he asked you about our arrow feathers, why are there arrow feathers?"

Jiang Li nodded, compared the movement of the arrow to him, and told him that the arrow feathers are used in the flight of the arrow to balance and maintain the direction.

After hearing this, Cang He bowed his head to Jiang Li, pointed to the arrow Yao Xiaoqing was carrying, and made an archery motion. He wanted to try the difference between the arrow with the fletching on it and the arrow without the fletching on it.

Jiang Li glanced at Yao Xiaoqing, Yao Xiaoqing nodded and took a stone arrowhead and handed it to Canghe.

Cang He gratefully accepted the arrow, turned around and took the longbow handed over by the tribe, put the arrow on the bowstring and aimed it at the big tree in front, let go of the bowstring and shot it out.

He found that what Jiang Li said was right, that the arrows with fletchings flew faster and more stably, and excitedly said to his companion, "He's right, their arrows fly faster than ours."

People from the Fish Tribe ran over to pull out the arrow, and several people tried it in turn before returning the arrow to Yao Xiaoqing.

The act of the two not hiding their secrets won the favor of Canghe and the others.

He gave them thumbs up, then turned his head and said to the people around him, "Ta, you go back and show them our seeds."

"Yes!" After the man answered loudly, he quickly ran up the hillside.

Yao Xiaoqing glanced at Jiang Li with a smile, "It seems that no matter which tribe, they like to give a thumbs up to praise people."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "The leader's name is Cang He, he probably asked that person to go back and help us get the seeds."

Yao Xiaoqing remembered Jiang Li's overhearing, "Can you understand what they said?"

"I can understand a little bit," Jiang Li said.

After more than half an hour, the warrior strode over with a leather bag, "Canghe, the seeds are here."

Cang He took it and turned to Jiang Li and opened the bag, "Warrior, can you see if there are any seeds you want in it?"

Looking at the mouth of the bag opened by Canghe, Yao Xiaoqing's heart beat faster, and he took a step forward to look at the seeds in the bag, which contained millet, beans...

"Jiang Li, I found it." She yelled out in surprise, and turned her head to see Jiang Li's eyes were red.

Seeing Yao Xiaoqing's joyful expression, Canghe felt that what they wanted to exchange was grain seeds.

Seeing Yao Xiaoqing's excited look, Jiang Li was also very happy, "The emperor pays off, and finally let you find it."

"Yeah! I finally found it." Yao Xiaoqing nodded heavily, "Jiang Li, give them all our pumpkin seeds and their rice seeds."

Jiang Li nodded, pointed at the grains and gestured to Canghe, "Does your tribe still have such seeds?"
