C52 - Scheme

The Big Bear Tribe had always traded for salt with the Green Hill Tribe. But now that something had happened to the Green Hill Tribe and their territory had been occupied by other tribes, it had become more troublesome for the Big Bear Tribe to trade for salt.

However, even if it had become more troublesome, they still needed to trade for it.

Salt could make people in the tribe more powerful; it could make the people of the tribe less likely to get sick, and it could be used to preserve food… The current Big Bear Tribe was no longer able to live without salt.

Since that was the case, they would need to go and try to find new tribes willing to trade salt with them, or perhaps even work out a deal with the people who had taken over the Green Hill Tribe’s territory.

Xiong He finished speaking his thoughts.

Xiong Qi was unsatisfied, “Chief, they killed people from our tribe. Do we have to go and trade for salt with them?”

The tribe that had taken over the Green Hill Tribe’s territory was called the Giant Tiger Tribe, and it was rumored that their tribal chief’s animal form was a very powerful saber-toothed tiger.

In the beginning, the people of the Big Bear Tribe hadn’t realized that the Green Hill Tribe had been replaced, so they had been very polite when they initiated the trade talks. Yet as a result, the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe attacked them without saying a word and killed several of their team.

These people had all been led there by Xiong Qi, and many of them had had a good relationship with him…

Xiong Qi, who had just been busy praising Xiong Ye on how good the flower wreath looked, had immediately gotten angry after hearing Xiong He’s words.

“The Giant Tiger Tribe has taken over the Green Hill Tribe and should also have obtained the Green Hill Tribe’s salt exchange route… If we don’t trade for salt with the Giant Tiger Tribe, who can we trade with?” Xiong He replied.

“We can bypass the Giant Tiger Tribe and trade for salt with the people who trade with the Giant Tiger Tribe instead!” Xiong Qi suggested, “Otherwise, we can go and trade with the Little Brook Tribe who traded salt with us last time.”

After being attacked by the Giant Tiger Tribe last time, they had finally ended up going to the Little Brook Tribe that wasn’t far from the Green Hill Tribe to trade for salt.

“That’s doable.” Xiong He said, “It’s fine as long as we can trade for salt.”

Xiong Qi heard him and replied, “Let me lead the team again this time. I will definitely bring back some salt!”

“We need more salt, and it’s best if we can establish a stable salt trade channel.” Xiong He stated.

“Not a problem!” Xiong Qi said.

“Who would like to go this time?” Xiong He asked the crowd.

Previously, Xiong Qi had also been injured when he and Xiong Ye had gone out hunting together, but they were all surface wounds, and he had recovered a lot after eating and drinking his fill over the past few days. The salt team would only depart after another ten days, which was enough time for him to heal up and lead the team.
