The next day, when Zhang Xuan woke up, Zi Biao smiled and said, “Your legs won’t get in the way, right? Go and tie a raft with me!”
“Take a raft?”
“Yes, we can make a raft and we can go down the river, and we should be able to return to the Hong tribe in two or three days!” Zi Hao smiled again.
“it is good!”
Zhang Xuan also leaned on crutches and stood up laboriously.
“Can your legs work?” Zi Hao frowned and asked with concern.
“It’s nothing but fractures and splints. Just don’t use too much force!”
Zhang Xuan took the god baby, and followed the purple haw to the river.
On the river beach, a mess, exuding a stench.
The purple bird held his nose and searched among the bones for a long time before he found a short iron knife that was missed.
“Go, go downstream!”
Zi Biao took Zhang Xuan and his son, walked along the river for a while, and found a smooth beach.
The purple bird took a short knife to cut down the thick trees, and the god-baby was looking for thin branches or something nearby.
Zhang Xuan sat on the ground and tied the raft.
The Zibo had already investigated before, and knowing that there were no barbarians in this area, the three of them were relieved to brave the raft.
They are extremely efficient, and after a day of piercing, they pierced out a large raft.
The raft is three to four meters long and two to three meters wide. It can carry three people.
“You go back first, I’ll get more prey, and we will set off tomorrow!”
Zi Biao commanded Zhang Xuan and his son to go back to the cave, and went to kill two huge antelopes and other prey by himself.
The purple bird cuts the antelope meat into large pieces and roasts them, skewered them into a skewer, as a reserve food for their travels.
After sleeping all night, the three of them carried everything on the raft.
“You just lie on the raft to heal your injuries!”
The purple bird spread the animal skins and let Zhang Xuan lie on the raft, and he and the god infant pushed the raft into the water and rowed the boat with a penny.
The water of that big river is very urgent, the purple swan doesn’t need to be strenuous at all. It only needs to use the penny to control the direction, and the raft floats downstream at great speed.
When they were hungry, the three of them ate the reserved barbecue.
In the evening, Zi Shu was rude, hugged and slept with Zhang Xuan and his son.
Although there was a god baby sleeping in the middle, Zhang Xuan still felt very embarrassed.
Especially in the middle of the night, Zi Hao’s long legs sometimes come over and press on Zhang Xuan’s injured leg, making Zhang Xuan completely unable to sleep.
This Zibo, who was in his early twenties, was also a general of the Hong Clan. He definitely understood men and women.
But she didn’t have any precautions against herself, which made Zhang Xuan very puzzled.
Could it be that Zi Hao believed that he had hurt a leg, so he couldn’t do anything to her?
Or, she is not afraid of what she would do to her at all?
Thinking of what he saw when he healed Zi Shu that day, Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but feel the ups and downs…
In this way, the three of them paddled a raft and drifted in the river for two or three days, and the water merged into a larger river. That evening, they arrived at a large lake.
The lake is huge, but all around it is bare, without any tall trees.
There are many camps scattered around the lake.
It’s like a camp for nomadic tribes.
Around the camp, there are tall wooden walls, and on the arrow tower above, there are many guards holding bows and arrows.
“who?”
The guard on the arrow tower saw the raft drifting in the big river by the camp, and nervously opened the bow and set the arrow at Zhang Xuan and the three of them.
“I’m the Purple Snipe!”
The purple bird stood up from the raft and waved.
“Purple Snipe General!”
“It’s really General Purple Snipe. Army!”
“Quick! Go report to the Shatuan!”
The guard on the arrow tower gave orders loudly, and the camp was boiling.
After a while, the gate of the wooden fence opened, and Cai Yu was fluttering, and a group of people rode out to greet her.
Zi Hao rowed the raft to the bank of the river, supported Zhang Xuan and Shen Ying, and went ashore together.
“Purple Snipe General. Army!”
Seeing that the team had reached the river, a tall and sturdy middle-aged woman jumped off the horse, quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, touched her chest and mouth, and saluted the purple swan.
Although she is very rough, she is decorated with a lot of colorful feathers.
“Sha Tuoan!”
The purple bird lifted up the tall middle-aged woman.
“General Purple Haw. Army, what about the others? Why…you are back?”
The Sha Tuoan stood up and looked suspiciously
Zhang Xuan and his son followed behind Zi Biao.
“We were in an ambush!”
Zi Hao frowned, “Although there are not many people I brought this time, they are all the elites of our Hong Clan Alliance, but they were ambushed by the barbarian army and the whole army was overthrown!”
“Thanks to Zhang Xuan of the Baiyu clan who saved my life, otherwise, I won’t be able to come back!”
Zibo introduced Zhang Xuan and his son to Sha Tuo’an.
“These sinister and despicable dog thieves!”
Sha Tuoan cursed in a deep voice, but frowned again, “How did they know…your marching route?”
“Of course, someone told them quickly in advance!” Zi Shu sneered.
“What? You mean…In our Hong Clan Alliance, there are really barbarians spies?” The Sha Tuoan frowned.
“Yes, and the status is not low!”
The purple swan’s face was deep and thoughtful, “Finally, let’s talk about it after this matter is over, I want to rush back to Fusang City as soon as possible to meet the Faling’an people!”
“It’s too late today. You can take a rest in our Sun Lake area for a day, and you can ride a horse on the road tomorrow!” The Shatuan took the hand of the purple haw.
“Ok!”
So everyone entered the gate of the wooden fence and came to the Rihu Department.
I saw that their camp was built by the lake, and there were many white-flowered salt pans by the lake.
It turns out that this lake named Rihu is actually a salt lake.
Many men work in the salt pans.
Zhang Xuan was secretly depressed in his heart.
What he has been worried about has basically been confirmed!
In this hell of death, not only is the primitive civilization of slavery, it is actually a matriarchal society!
The chiefs of their tribes are all women.
Moreover, Zhang Xuan just saw that the guards standing on the wooden arrow tower were all women.
And those who work in the salt fields are all men!
The women all looked strong and healthy and refreshed.
The man has a yellow face and thin muscles, and seems to be malnourished.
Obviously, men are all lowly slaves!
And he and the god infant are both male!
How can Zhang Xuan not be depressed…
Sure enough, the Shatuan people held a banquet in their big tent, and Zhang Xuan and his son were arranged at the last place.
In the entire banquet, except for Zhang Xuan and his son, everyone else was a woman, and there was no other man!
Zhang Xuan had to and Shen Ying, muffled eating big chunks of delicious bacon and pickled wild vegetables.
On this day, the lake tribes are drying salt by the lake, and their specialty seems to be these bacon and pickles.
“General Zi Biao Jun, has your Sunlight Divine Wheel been rewarded to Zhang Xuan?”
The Sha Tuoan was very kind to Zhang Xuan.
She sat in the first place, looked at the gear pendant in front of Zhang Xuan’s chest with a meaningful smile.
