Chapter 630 Another Use of Water Moon Stone

After going to the farmland for a while, Shao Xuan went to other places to look around. The journey will leave the tribe for a period of time. The specific date is uncertain. Before leaving, he must arrange some things for the tribe.

When heading to the animal pen, Shao Xuan happened to see Ao who came to look for him.

Ao also carried a swollen animal skin bag in his hand.

“This is just brought by the people from the Mae Tribe to pay off the debt. See how much it can cover the ordinary water and moon stones.” Ao passed the animal skin bag in his hand.

Shao Xuan took the bag and opened it and looked at it. The sunlight outside was too strong and it was not real. He went to a wooden house nearby with Ao. There was a temporary rest place for the people taking care of the animal pen, and there were also soldiers on patrol. Drink some water here and rest.

Seeing Shao Xuan and Ao passing by, those who were resting there hurriedly stepped aside, and spontaneously guarded nearby, not allowing others to approach. They knew that Shao Xuan and Ao must have something to talk about, no matter whether it was a confidential matter, they would definitely avoid it before getting permission, and would prevent others from approaching and eavesdropping.

After entering the house, Shao Xuan closed the open window, leaving only one ventilation.

As soon as the room darkened, the water and moon stones in the animal skin bags became obvious.

“The brightness is not enough, the turbidity is different, and the quality is different.” Shao Xuan can clearly distinguish the quality of the water moon stone at a glance.

A good water moon stone is not only bright enough, it looks like a light bulb in the house, but also looks pure, otherwise it cannot become one of the common currencies.

But here, some of the light is very dim, and it can’t meet the lighting needs of many people at all. Let alone light bulbs, torches are far inferior. Even if the brightness barely meets the requirements for use, the light looks very turbid, which is really good quality, less than one-tenth.

“These should have been selected by the people of the Enemy Tribe, and the ones given are definitely part of the preference, but it is only to get this point.” Ao said.

After the fusion of the fire, the people of the Enemy tribe have tried to break away from the original fire and use the power of the fused fire in the body to catalyze the water moon stone. However, the time is still short, and the water moon stone produced cannot be compared with the previous ones. Ao can also understand this.

“What are you planning?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Let’s take it, because the quality of these is not good, it must not be calculated according to the previous price, but when the Yanhe Fort was built, the people of the Mao tribe helped many times. At that time, they did not accept Yanjiao’s thanks. I thought, what they took out was calculated at the original 30% price.” Ao said.

The price is 30%, which is close to one-third of the normal price of the moonstone in the past.

If the calculation is based on the facts, the water and moon stones taken out by the 咢 tribe will be discounted by 90%, which can only be counted as one-tenth of the previous water and moon stones. After all, those dim water and moon stones cannot be used at all. Can be regarded as waste.

In fact, Ao is still very satisfied with the neighbor of the Mae Tribe. With the previous Wanshi Tribe as a reference, he sees the members of the Mae Tribe more pleasing to the eye, plus the members of the Mae Tribe have helped them several times. Now the Mae Tribe has just been rebuilt and changed. , Life is not very good, so he still goes a little bit towards the tribe.

Because it was only his own subjective thoughts, Ao still had to ask Shao Xuan’s opinion. Guihe was okay, but if he couldn’t pass Shao Xuan’s pass, he couldn’t do it.

“Yes, just do what you said.” Shao Xuan put the water and moon stones back and handed them to Ao, “Those dark water and moon stones will be opened at that time.”

“I know this.” Ao Ben didn’t plan to use those water and moon stones that could not be illuminated, those dim water and moon stones, even the words on the animal skin scrolls could not be clearly illuminated at a distance of a palm, let alone light up the road. .

“Those dark water and moon stones, when the time comes, they will be separated and taken to the farmland, so that they can put the dark water and moon stones together at night to see if there are any bugs.” Shao Xuan said.

The more crops in the farmland, the more various insects. Although some people are responsible for catching the insects, and even the green ducks will hunt for food in the farmland to help remove the insects, they are all daytime, and the insects that are active at night are difficult to solve. Some people have tried to use torches to drive them away. Naturally, they are effective. There are many creatures who are afraid of fire, and insects are also afraid of fire, but it is not possible to let patrols use torches to drive them all night.

I don’t know if it is the reason for the strong breath of the people in Yanjiao tribe. Many flying birds are not close, and even fewer come at night, so that the nocturnal insects become more and more rampant. The warm weather, the humid riverside, and the large farmland are really a paradise for mosquitoes, especially those flying from the depths of the mountains and forests full of fierce beasts, very annoying.

Now, it happens that some water moon stones that can be regarded as scraps are taken for a try. These water moon stones cannot be illuminated, but there is still light, such as the light from a mobile phone screen. I don’t know if it can attract some nocturnal insects.

Many insects at night are phototaxis, but they are not like many fire-fighting flying insects. They will wisely avoid the hot light source-torches. Therefore, Shao Xuan intends to give these water moon stones a try. Even if it’s useless, it doesn’t matter, you have to try it anyway.

As soon as Shao Xuan said, Ao had a hint of understanding. People who have been leaders are not stupid.

“You mean, those bugs that move at night might like the light of the water moon stone?”

Ao once had the experience of walking outside with water and moonstones at night, and once encountered some flying insects that kept getting closer, but he didn’t think about the water and moonstones at the time, but thought it was his own reason. Now listening to what Shao Xuan said, is it actually a water moon stone? !

“There are a lot of insects coming out at night. They like the moon, but the moon is too far away. They can’t touch it. If there are water moon stones, I don’t know if they will be attracted.” Shao Xuan explained.

“So that’s it.” Ao suddenly. At the same time, he thought to himself: This kid is worthy of the big Elder, and he knows a lot.

“Try it and you’ll know.” Shao Xuan can’t be sure if he hasn’t tried it. There must be light-tending bugs, but I don’t know how effective these dim water moon stones are.

“People from the Mae Tribe should know this, right?” Ao asked again.

“It may not be true. There used to be primitive fires in the Enemy Tribe. Many mosquitoes may not dare to approach directly. What’s more, the rivers had not disappeared at that time, and the insects on the forest side could not fly over. Only the insects on the forest side were not a big trouble. Now although the two sides are close, some insects can fly over, but the people of the tribe are very economical in using water and moon stones. It is unlikely to know this, but you can ask.” Shao Xuandao.

“Yes.” Ao almost forgot that the primitive fire is a deterrent to many creatures. The core living area of ​​the 咢 tribe is not as wide as their flame angle, and the place close to the fire is better protected.

Ao took the animal skin bag and went to the house on the river bank, where the leader of the tribe, Fanmu, was waiting there, looking very nervous. They also knew that the quality of the products was not as good as before, but these were already them. The best batch produced in this period of time.

Seeing Ao coming, the people from the Yi tribe inside looked at him expectantly.

“What did Shao Xuanda say about Elder?” Fanmu asked.

“According to the previous 30%.” Ao said.

When they heard that there was a price of 30%, the people of the tribe were surprised. In their opinion, they were guilty to say that the price of 10% was guilty.

After the surprise, Fanmu solemnly said: “Thank you!” He naturally knew that Yanjiao was taking care of them, otherwise, if they took it to other places, they would be squeezed down to less than 10%. For this, they are grateful.

Yan Jiao is a good person!

“The water moon stone I bring here next time will definitely be better!” Fan Mu promised. Their ability to make water and moon stones is getting stronger, and the moonlight is getting more and more prosperous, making it easier to make, and there will definitely be more high-quality products in the future, otherwise they will be embarrassed to take it out and continue to repay the debt.

“By the way, how do you deal with the darker water and moon stones of your tribe?” Ao asked.

“Cough, keep it for your own use.” Fan’s eyes were clear. Those water and moon stones that can’t meet the lighting requirements at all can only be regarded as waste products of the tribesmen who practice making water and moon stones, and they can’t get them. Can you sell it if you don’t hide it by yourself? Are you ashamed?

“Those of you… if you don’t need it, don’t throw it away.” Ao said hesitantly. He was also not sure whether Shao Xuan’s night plan would be successful, but if it was successful, obviously they would need more of that dim water moon stone. After all, the dim water moon stone was low in cost and was considered waste.

“Huh?” People in the Mae tribe looked at Ao in confusion, not understanding what Ao meant.

“We…Big Elder, he might need some water moon stones like this.” Ao originally wanted to talk about their plan, but after thinking about it, he stopped and moved directly out of Shao Xuan. The people of the Mae Tribe don’t seem to know whether the water moon stone attracts insects.

“But I don’t know if he can succeed, he has to try these first, and then let you know.” Aojia said.

“Fine!” Fan Mu hurriedly said.

Returning from Yanjiao to the Yi tribe, Fan Mu told Wu.

Knowing that the water moon stones that they took out can actually have a price of 30% of the usual price, the Tribe Witch was also very grateful to Yan Horn, and the dark water moon stones were another surprise.

“Although I don’t know what Elder Shao Xuanda in Yanjiao wants to do, I hope he can succeed.” Wu said, “If they need it, give them all the water and moon stones in our hands.”

“Well, I think so too.” Fanmu said.

Those dim water moon stones are just the failed products after their practice, and it is useless to keep them in their hands. If Yanjiao needs them, they will all give them to Yanjiao, and thank Yanjiao for taking care of them.

That night.

During this period of time, the two moons in the sky are no longer crescent crescents, they are much brighter, but they are still a little apart compared to the full moon.

Even so, if the two moons shine directly on the ground, the dim water and moon stones may not be able to compete for the moon’s brilliance, and the effect will be greatly reduced, but fortunately, there will be clouds in the sky tonight!

Most of the time, those two moons were obscured by clouds, which also facilitated Shao Xuan’s plan.

Shao Xuan looked at the clouds in the sky, carrying a bag of water and moon stones that had been separated, and headed towards the farmland.
