Chapter 51 Trading Festival
Ye Sen estimated that the time was good, but the next day they saw the woods in the grassland.
In the vast grassland, such a lush forest is really a wonder, like a lighthouse in the vast ocean, pointing the direction for everyone who comes to participate in the trading festival.
Lin Shu had already seen several waves of people moving towards the woods in the distance, and they should be the ones who came to participate in the trading festival.
Her inner expectation began to rise little by little, just hoping to go to the woods faster and see what the ancient version of the market looked like.
Yesen walked in front of the team, leading the four cows connected by vines.Lin Shu sat on the back of the first cow, and others stood scattered around her.
Such a formation attracted countless curious sights as soon as Lin Shu entered the woods.
She hurriedly shouted to Yesen with embarrassment: "Stop! Yesen, stop quickly!"
"What's wrong?" Ye Sen indeed stopped and looked back at her.
Lin Shu rolled over from the bull's back in a few seconds: "It's so eye-catching to sit on it. It's already here anyway, so I'd better come down and go."
After walking inside, Lin Shu found that there was indeed something strange about this forest.
There is actually only one tree in the entire forest.
The tree in the center that only a dozen people can embrace a week has grown in this land for many years. The huge canopy covers the sky and the sun, and looks like a small forest from a distance.
New trees grew on the rugged roots, and these new trees grew around the mother tree, further expanding the area of the forest.
Some tribes have arrived early, and they have set up stalls and are waiting for other tribes to come and trade.
"Are we late? They have already arranged things." Lin Shu asked with some concern.
It would be uncomfortable if the good stalls were occupied by others.
"It's not too late, they came early." Ye Sen led the cow and walked straight in.
"Hey, this place is good. Do we want to put things here?" Lin Shu hurriedly said by passing by a relatively flat place.
"That's the territory of other tribes. Lin Shu, you will have conflicts when you hear these words by others." Dashan made a swear gesture.
"Oh, that's it." Lin Shu quickly retracted and asked, "Are the territory of all tribes fixed? Where is the territory of our tribe?"
"Here." Ye Sen finally stopped in an open space.It is close to the newborn subtree, and the place is relatively remote, but fortunately the ground is relatively flat and it is easy to place things.
After reading this for a long time, Lin Shu understood the rules here. The closer she is to the mother tree, the better the location. The worst position is around the sub-grove, and even shade depends on the position of the sun.
And their position is right in the middle, neither good nor bad, at a medium level.
"Has our place been passed down from generation to generation?" Lin Shu was a little curious.
While arranging others to unload the goods, Yesen explained: "No, this was settled with the supplies after the end of last year's trading festival."
"Who is there any administrator in this land?"
"The people of the Grassland Tribe are the owners of this land. They will organize the order during the trading festival every year and collect the designated venue supplies for the next year."
Good guy, is that advanced?!
Lin Shu was amazed while listening. Has the real estate rental industry already appeared in ancient times?!
Everyone took off all the items from the cow's back and arranged them one by one.
The pottery was wrapped in a lot of hay by Lin Shu for shock prevention, so it was still as intact when taken out.
These pottery were the items that Lin Shu had most hope for during this trip. She spread the hay on the ground to isolate the dirt, and then placed the pottery neatly on it.Each one faces outward, allowing passersby to see the full picture of the pottery at a glance.
No matter how good the things are, they must have a good appearance, right?
Lin Shu also arranged the remaining animal skins and salt-filled bamboo tubes in order. At first glance, the stall items in their tribe were placed the most neatly and beautifully and directly.
As soon as I put things in place, a stranger came over.
Did any customers come to the door so soon?Lin Shu stared at him with anticipation.
The stranger spread his hands at them as soon as he stood still, as if he was asking for something.
Lin Shu was stunned and stared at him.
Ye Sen stepped forward and handed the other party a stone carved with patterns.The other party picked up the stones for a long time, nodded and put them into the animal skin bag hanging on his waist, and smiled and said, "I wish you a happy deal. The grassland tribe will always be your friends."
It turns out that this is a person from the Grassland Tribe who is going to recycle the tokens for rent issued last year!
As time passed, there were gradually more and more people in the woods. Except for a few passing trails, the entire shade of trees was basically occupied by people and items from various tribes.
The tribe located on their left is common, with polished stone knives, stone axes, tanned animal skins, and some beasts’ teeth.
Lin Shu glanced at her and stopped paying attention. Her eyes turned to the stall on the right.
There are some unique things in the stall on the right.
They put out a bunch of messy plants.
Most of them are dried branches and leaves, and a small number are fruits and roots with less moisture.
Lin Shu walked over and squatted in front of their stall to observe carefully.
She reached out and looked for any useful plants, but was stopped by a scolding.
"This is the medicine made by our tribe witch doctor! Don't touch me if you are a slave!"
Lin Shu looked up and saw that the owner of this stall was a few older men, and they did not have a friendly look at Lin Shu.
The one who scolded her was the man sitting in their main seat, thin, dark skin, and a small squat of goat beards.
What did they call her just now?slave?Lin Shu was a little doubted if she had heard it wrong.
Seeing that the situation on this side was not right, Yesen, Dashan and Shitou surrounded him. Although the others did not come, they were still watching the situation here at any time.
Yesen pulled Lin Shu from the ground and stepped forward to confront the other party: "She is a witch doctor in our Sen tribe, not a slave. I ask you to apologize to her."
"Hmph! What does a woman know? She actually works as a witch doctor. I think your tribe is just a small tribe that is not as good as a class."
Goat beard snorted coldly, very disdainful, "Sooner or later, it will be annexed by other tribes!"
