Chapter 1022 Deer and Gifts

"The spiritual ancestors testify! You, come from the east of Luba? The White Sea in the east? The big island in the sea?..."

"The ancestors testify! We come from the east! We are the kingdom in the lake, a vast continent shrouded by the Lord God! We came across the sea according to the prophecy inspired by the gods..."

The cold current of the Thousand Islands continues to flow south, bringing the coldness of the Arctic sea to the edge of the Kamchatka Peninsula. On the peninsula, there is snow in October, and in November, it has already reached below zero. On this cold coast, in this biting cold wind, the two people around the campfire chatted enthusiastically and danced. Even if the two sides couldn't understand a complete sentence, they all relied on gesturing and drawing on the snow, but their faces were full of surprise and excitement.

"Ancestors! You, your ship actually came from the east of Luba, from the sea of ​​Luba! Ah! You are not the tent of Luba in the north, nor the island of Luba in the south...you are... from Luba in the East Haibu! So that’s the case, no wonder you have big ships, no wonder you are different from them!”

"Lord God! Luba? What is Luba? Is it the sea?"

The exploration captain Zuvaro blinked, repeating a word that always appeared in the other party's mouth. But upon hearing Zuvaro's repetition, the hunting captain, Mu Hound, misunderstood. He hesitated for a while, put his hand into the thick deerskin robe, groped for a long time, and finally took out a long and narrow deerskin bag and a deer stomach water bag. Then, he solemnly handed the two items to Zuvaro, and explained them seriously.

"Headman from Haibu! Please treat me to something warm, broth. I'll treat you to something warm, Luba! Luba, in the coldest winter, it warms your body and saves your life!"

"What? These two, deer? Treat me to eat?... Uh, is this a custom of showing friendship?"

The exploration captain Zuwaro was startled. Although he couldn't understand the other party's words, he vaguely guessed the other party's meaning. He hesitated a little, then took the water bladder containing something, and also the long and narrow bag. Then, he opened the water bag first, and a strong smell of blood came to his nostrils in an instant, but it was the blood drink most familiar to all tribes on the plateau!

"Ah? It smells so familiar! Is this blood wine? Or pure blood? Is it a sacrifice to announce the gods?..."

The expedition leader Zuwaro sniffed his nose, but he didn't smell the wine. He looked at the hunting captain Mu Hound again, showed a simple smile on the other side, and made a drink gesture.

"Luba! Drink it, Luba!"

"Google! Uh?...This smell? It's not human blood...Is it deer blood?"

"Drink it, Luba! From, here... the heart!"

Seeing Zuvaro who drank the blood of the deer, the hunting captain Mu Hound laughed happily. He pointed to his own heart and signaled Zuvaro that it was the most precious blood of a deer! In the tradition of the Kamchatka tribe, drinking each other's precious deer's blood is just a way to convey friendship.

In the winter of tens of degrees below zero in the extreme north, the Kamchatkabu had neither wine to warm up, nor chili, ginger, and sugar to warm the body. The only thing that can warm them up and restore the frozen and weak young is the most precious deer, the deer that can heal the disease and warm up the body!

In this era, neither the hardy rye in Europe nor the hardy potatoes in America were introduced to Siberia. For the Kamchatkazu tribe that raises reindeer herds, the most important food sources in their lives are deer and fish! And the herd of deer, the precious herd of domesticated deer, is the source of the necessities of life for most tribes!

The meat of the deer is the staple food of the tribe. The fur of the deer can protect against the cold and make armor. The antlers of the deer can be used to make daily utensils such as needle combs. The body, used to save lives in the winter snow, is three kinds of deer, or three kinds of deer treasure: deer heart blood, deer whip and deer fetus!

Of course, deer fetuses are the basis for the continuation of the deer herd, and the Kamchatka tribes are generally reluctant to use them, unless the nobles of the tribe are seriously ill. Therefore, there are only two kinds of common life-saving deer...

"Huh! Drink this deer's blood, and your body will heat up in an instant!..."

The exploration captain Zuwaro drank a few sips of the deer's blood, and he felt hot all over his body, and his face turned red. The cold night wind seemed to become gentle in an instant.

"Lord God! What a good thing! Come on, take a sip too to warm your body!..."

Under the gaze of hunting captain Mu Dog, he handed the water bag containing the blood of the deer to the warriors of the kingdom behind him, and let these warriors from the south drink a few sips. Afterwards, he opened another long and narrow leather bag, and when he saw the dried shape, the expression on his face instantly became brilliant.

"Ah, this? Is this also a deer?..."

"Luba! Food, Luba! Warm, help!..."

"Uh...you want me to eat this? Lord God, the habits of these tribes are really strange!..."

Exploration Captain Zuwaro hesitated for a few breaths, thinking of winning the trust of the local glue man brothers and obtaining more important intelligence and information... After a while, he grinned fiercely and bit down, like a prey like a beast...

"Ancestor! You...you eat less, save some!...This, this is something that can cure diseases and save lives in the snowstorm! What's more, if you eat too much, you will..."

Seeing this scene, the hunting captain Mugou felt a little bit regretful. The hunter Mu Lu stared wide-eyed, looking at the leader of the longship tribe in front of him, amazed in admiration.

"Ancestor! What a powerful tribal leader! He actually drank so much deer and ate so much deer... This... this will take several days... I can't slow it down!..."

The wonderful misunderstanding is over quickly, and the long "negative" effect is left for later. Exploration Captain Zuwaro held his head high and expressed "the sincerest kindness". Afterwards, he took out a long bow brought by a long boat, a bag of bronze feathered arrows, and a bronze axe, and presented them to the hunter Mulu as another gift of friendship. Then, with burning eyes, he smiled and pointed to the recurve compound bow on the back of the Mulu, expressing it clearly, and waiting patiently.

"Ugh! Such a big hardwood bow? A sharp bag of arrows? A golden metal axe?...Ah? They were all given to me?! Haha! The eastern part of the sea is really good!..."

The hunter Mulu stroked the fir longbow in his hand, felt the extremely high-quality elastic wood of the bow body, and looked at the simple and even crude craftsmanship, and sighed with regret. Then, he happily touched the bronze axe, tapped it a few times with the stone axe, and heard the crisp sound.

"Huh? The golden ax doesn't seem to be brittle, it should be bronze... It's different from the iron axe, it can be used in winter! Hahaha, it's so good!..."

The hunter Mulu held the copper ax and giggled happily. He recognized bronze, and the tribe also had very few bronze wares, which were obtained from fighting with other tribes and passed down and used for many generations.

Compared with iron, which is prone to freezing and brittleness, the alloy of bronze is more resistant to low temperature. Although pure tin material will appear "tin disease" in the severe cold, turning into tin powder that can be crushed when pinched, but the alloy of copper, tin and lead will not cause problems, and can be used in the extreme cold of tens of degrees below zero. Still maintain a certain degree of toughness.

"Eh? You want my bow in return?"

The hunter Mu Lu smiled honestly for a while before seeing Zuvaro's explicit indication. After thinking for a while, he handed the compound recurve hunting bow on his back to Zuvaro boldly.

"Ancestral Witness! Here you are! A gift from a friend, thank you for the broth and gifts!  …"

"Haha! Praise the Lord God! Praise our lost brothers!"

Expedition Captain Zuvaro smiled brightly and nodded in satisfaction. He touched the bow made of multiple materials, and handed the compound recurve bow, which he had never seen before, to the kingdom warrior behind him. Then, after thinking for a while, he said to Chakapu Shijian, the warrior leader.

"Shi Jian, bring me two catties of gold, and the box of your majesty's most important 'credentials'!...I want to try to identify them!...May the Lord God bless! I don't know these strange tribes , is it the three islands and tribal alliance predicted by His Majesty, or some female straight tribal alliance..."

"Yes! Captain!..."
