Chapter 172: Allies
Lu Shi led the deer horned girl out of the Main Teepee, following Mai Mang towards the outskirts of the Tribe.
As they walked, Lu Shi scanned the surroundings of the Tribe, trying to spot anything unusual.
He found it extremely strange. [Just how could such a small Tribe have so much linen? Even if a Small Tribe did have that much linen, that would be one thing, but I had not seen that many people in the Tribe!]
When he went to Su Bai’s Teepee and came out, he had been constantly observing the surroundings. He estimated the Tribe’s population to be at most around 400 people. Yet, from the other party’s tone, ninety rolls of linen seemed to be an amount they could produce with great ease.
The other party had agreed so readily, even saying they could take it now. By his calculations, even if these 400-odd people did not eat or drink for several days, they still would not be able to produce so much linen.
[Not eating or drinking is too unrealistic. In that case, just where did all this linen come from?] “Chieftain, what’s wrong? You look to be in deep thought/” Lu Lin looked up and asked.
Lu Shi snapped back to reality, his deep voice sounding, “I’m wondering how this Tribe can produce so much linen.”
“Although I’m also curious, it’s their Tribe’s secret. We shouldn’t dwell on it too much.” Lu Lin gently said.
While listening to Su Bai speak earlier, she had been distracted several times, recalling the scene when he came to exchange goods at the Spotted Deer Market.
