Does Jiang Sen like those things? He doesn't like them at all. Who would like that dilapidated table?
Yes, inside the luxurious work sheds in the valley. Apart from that dilapidated table, there was nothing on it.
" Jiang Sen, look, we've been tricked! There's nothing here. That damned guy even tricked us out of a stone."
Hurricane was furious. All that hard work digging up the stones and then transporting them here had been for nothing.
Although Jiang Sen had been somewhat prepared, he still felt uneasy when it actually happened.
Jiang Sen did not answer Hurricane's question, but instead carefully looked around the room. The work sheds did not seem to have been visited by many people, and he had also been somewhat careless in not noticing the traces by the lake.
" Hurricane, when was the last time you put those black stones here?"
"Ah! Jiang Sen, why are you asking this? It's been at least half a month."
"Half a month?" Jiang Sen began to think seriously. Was it possible that the person he traded with had actually given him something, or that they had arrived too late and the item had been taken? It seemed unlikely, since no one seemed to come to this valley.
I was careless just now and didn't pay attention to my surroundings. Now that they've come over, everything is destroyed and there's nothing left to see.
" Hurricane, forget it, let's go back first." Jiang Sen decided to go back first, and consider their efforts wasted this time.
"Well! What a damn guy, tricking us into digging up those useless rocks."
...
Meanwhile, in another tribe at the foot of the western mountains.
" Leader Xi Yu, the people from Jiang Sen Tribe have been gone for two days. Judging by the time it takes, they should be back soon."
"Hehe, you did a great job this time. Not only did you figure out the secret to Jiang Sen's wealth, but you also brought back some very exquisite and precious items. You can choose one of those items as a reward later."
Chief Xi Yu was very fond of the exquisite clothes, but she was somewhat dissatisfied because they were all worn by men. However, the iron kettle was truly wonderful, far superior to the earthenware pots they used.
Who would have thought that those unremarkable black stones could be exchanged for such good things? No wonder Jiang Sen went to dig those stones; everyone thought he was stupid, but they were actually quite clever.
No wonder they were close to the Dried Fish Tribe. They needed to transport those black stones by boat, and the Dried Fish Tribe could make boats. Luckily, she was smart in the past and secretly hid a boat in a secluded corner by the lake, which is why she was able to discover Jiang Sen's secret this time.
The next thing she needed to figure out was how to handle it.
"Ah! Thank you, Chief Xi Yu, this reward is truly a pleasant surprise."
"Yes, you deserve it. Tell me in detail what you saw. Our tribe must seize this opportunity this time."
"Yes, Chief. That day I saw Hurricane transport those black stones to the lakeside, and then use the Dried Fish Tribe's boat to sail along the mountainside towards the east of the lake. They returned about three days later, but the black stones on the boat were gone. Later, following your instructions, I found the small boat you hid by the lakeside, and then I followed their route to search. About two days later, I saw many large ships carrying those black stones on a flat area by the mountainside. Those ships were very large, and because they were far away, I couldn't see their features clearly, but being able to use such large ships, their strength must not be too weak. Later they left, and after they were far away, I approached that flat area by the mountainside."
"Go on! Why are you looking at me?" The Xi Yu leader asked, somewhat puzzled.
"No, Chief, I'm a little thirsty. I'd like to have something to drink first."
