Is There Someone Trading Sackcloth?()
"What is a sarira?" Cang Shi hurriedly asked.
"It means that people with merit will form sariras after being cremated.”
Su Bai recalled the legends of Buddha on Earth and said softly: "This is also the first time I've seen it. I've only heard of it before.”
"What is merit?" Cang Shi frowned.
"A person who does good deeds." Su Bai said simply.
"He must be a good person and the best descendant in the world.”Flame Horn and Cang Shi nodded in agreement.
"Keep it well first. We can build a temple to worship it after we take back the ancestral land of the tribe.”Su Bai handed the sarira back as a spiritual memory.
"Yes." Yan Jiao nodded heavily. He received the sarira with both hands and carefully placed it into the beast skin bag.
"Shaman, what should we do next?”
" There's too little dried meat stored in the tribe," Cang Shi said worriedly." It's difficult to supply the reserve warriors."”
Su Bai casually sat on the ground and asked: "How many reserve warriors do we have?”
"A total of six reserve warriors." Flame Horn continued.
"So little?" Su Bai was surprised.
"There were originally twenty-six of them, but they were captured by the totem warriors of the Black Snake Tribe during the migration.”Flame Horn stopped halfway.
"Are they dead or alive?" Su Bai asked with narrowed eyes.
"It's possible that he died, or he became a slave.”Flame Horn gritted his teeth and said.
"Is the Black Snake Tribe far from us?" Su Bai asked with a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't die, he could still be saved as a slave.
"It's about a five-day journey. If the totem warriors travel at full speed, it'll take three days.”
Flame Horn thought Su Bai was scared, but he couldn't say anything. He could only say in a stiff tone: "Wu, don't worry. The Black Snake Tribe won't come to our place.”
"Oh? Why?" Su Bai asked in surprise.
"The prey here is too barren." Flame Horn said coldly. It was because of this that their Flame Dragon Tribe had escaped a calamity.
"In other words, we can develop steadily?”Su Bai stared at Flame Horn with his dark eyes.
"Yes, yes." Flame Horn hesitated before nodding.
"Very good." The corners of Su Bai's mouth curled up. What they lacked now was time to develop.
"Shaman, it's not good at all. We can't catch any prey at all.”Cang Shi said frankly.
"Tell me about the hunting.”Su Bai planned to understand the situation first before making a new decision.
"There are too few wild beasts in our hunting ground now, and there are only a few fierce beasts. It takes a day to find prey and travel. It will take about three days to hunt enough prey.”Cang Shi shook his head and sighed.
Yesterday, Wu had told Su Bai about fierce beasts. There were different classes of fierce beasts: Mixed breed fierce beasts, purebred fierce beasts, descendant fierce beasts, king breed fierce beasts.
Pheasants, hares, and boars were considered wild animals.
In order for a totem warrior to maintain a strong Vitality, other than training his body, he also needed a large amount of vicious beast meat to nourish his body.
Su Bai thought for a while and asked," How long will the jerky we have in stock last for our tribe?”
"All of them?" Flame Horn asked.
"Of course, I want everyone to eat meat until they are full.”Su Bai said as if he knew him very well.
"..." Flame Horn and Cang Shi both fell silent. They looked at their newly appointed shaman as if he was a lunatic. How could he say such a stupid thing? When they were in the ancestral land, they couldn't let the people of the entire tribe eat until they were full.
"Shaman, this is impossible."
Flame Horn touched the curved horn on his head and persuaded,"The jerky that our tribe is storing right now, if we let the people of the tribe eat as much as they want, they won't even be able to last a day.”
"Yeah, those children are like wolf cubs. They know how to eat meat.”Cang Shi said with a bitter face.
He also wanted everyone in the tribe to eat until they were full, but how was that possible? Just by relying on the hunting team formed by the six totem warriors? It was impossible to do it even if he died of exhaustion.
"Hunting alone is definitely not enough." Su Bai shook his head. With the current number of totem warriors in the tribe, they would need to double the number to have enough food and clothing.
However, nurturing a totem warrior was too time-consuming. Moreover, it required a large amount of Feral flesh and blood to nourish it. At this stage, it was impossible for them to go all-out.
" Uh…" Flame Horn and Cang Shi were speechless.
"Shaman, if you don't hunt, then it's even more impossible for you to have meat to eat.”Flame Horn said with a straight face. He felt that the new shaman was still too young and had thought things too simply.
Su Bai didn't explain. He asked,""Do you know about linen?"
"Of course I know. Sackcloth is very rare. Only the top-grade large tribes have sackcloth.”Cang Shi spoke first, his purple eyes flickering with light, looking forward to wearing linen clothes.
Su Bai's lips curled up slightly. He guessed that linen was just starting to become popular. It was a specialty of a big tribe or a unique product of their tribe.
"Which of you knows about the market of the spotted deer tribe?" he asked.”
"We've all been there once or twice." Flame Horn spoke.
"Is there anyone who wants to trade linen?" Su Bai stared at them and asked.
"Yes, but there are not many of them. They were bought as soon as they appeared.”
Cang Shi nodded and recounted a bitter past."In the past, when Chief Pine Needle brought us there, he wanted to buy a roll of sackcloth to make clothes for the shaman. However, we brought too little dried meat, so we couldn't compete with other tribes at all.”
"How much meat can a roll of linen be exchanged for?”Su Bai squinted his eyes and asked.
"Three stones of dried meat can be exchanged for a roll of linen.”Flame Horn replied.
"Three Stones? How heavy is this?" Su Bai was a bit confused. He had no idea about the units of weight and length in primitive society.
