From Chief to Ball

Chen Jian led people to tie up all the male slaves. According to different tribes, ten different tribes were tied together.The women are not tied up, and many people hold their children, even if it is for the children, they will not run away.

Counting the 400 prisoners of war, the four tribes on my side can be divided into more than [-], and some people can be assigned to oversee the work.

After returning home, after harvesting the wheat and beans and planting spring grain, some more people can be assigned to develop handicraft industry. If you are lucky, there will be surplus food.

The children in the hands of women... When the children can avoid milk, they all have to leave and be raised by the tribe.Even if they know their mothers are slaves when they grow up, most of them will be blinded by the chair under their buttocks: give up the status of slave owners and resist vested interests for the sake of their own mothers?One out of ten people is not bad. There is no need to worry about this at all. Although there are many such stories in history, the stories that can be handed down must be because they are rare and unique.

In order to prevent a surprise attack, Chen Jian still sent some scouts, and the scouts captured more than a dozen people who were hiding in the woods.

A large number of captives made the speed of the march extremely slow. It took only half a day to get here from the river when we came here, and it took half a day to go back when we went back.

While digging a hole for cooking, Langpi ran back from a distance panting, and ran directly to Chen Jianjian without saying hello to others.

"what happened?"

"When we got to the river, someone stole our boat."

"Stealing a ship?"

"Yes, we caught six."

"Are you escaping from the battlefield?"

"No, look at this."

Wolf Pi took out three small things from the cloth bag and put them in Chen Jian's hands.

Chen Jian just took one look and was shocked.

All three items are small.

A bowstring is not made of hemp rope, it seems to be made of silk thread, and every half a foot or so there is a section that is not twisted. The weaving is perfect and can be stacked together conveniently.

A wrench finger with a sharp end and a groove for the string on it. It is black and yellow in color and looks like a bull's horn. The inside is very smooth.

A pendant, not big, with a not-so-thin hole on it.The whole pendant is very smooth, feels cool to the touch, and the whole body is white and green, clearly a piece of jade.

silk, jade.

Chen Jian swallowed and asked, "Are they and Gong the same as us?"

Wolfpi scratched his head and said, "Of course it's the same. Are there bows with different lengths? They use stones instead of golden spears and spears, but the stones are well polished. I can understand some of what they said, don't I don’t understand, the tone of voice is weird.”

After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something very important again, and said anxiously: "By the way, they also have their hair tied up, not loose."

Chen Jian nodded, feeling a little excited for some reason, turned around and said, "Acorn, take people slowly to the river, and pay attention to sending scouts."

He found more than 30 sword and shield soldiers and ran towards the river with him.

When Chen Jian rushed to the river, six people were tied under a tree, cursing and struggling. They were wearing animal skins that were cut and sewn together, which were obviously tanned and very soft.

The hair was tied up and wrapped with a small gray-black cloth handkerchief, which looked a bit like a thunder scarf, but it was different.On the ground are several stone tools and two bows.

Walking up to a person, he tore off the cloth handkerchief wrapped around his head with all his strength. The person immediately cursed a few words and couldn't quite understand it, but judging from the rhythm and scale, it should be the same as the language of Chen Jian's tribe. Kind, mixed with a lot of understandable vocabulary.

Chen Jian touched the soft cloth handkerchief, lit the bonfire and burned it, and a pungent smell of burnt feathers came out. After burning, there would be no ashes, but small ash bumps.

It is obviously not hemp cotton fiber, but a kind of silk, it should not be mulberry silk, because it is not so smooth, and the color is not right, too dark.

He called Wolfpi and the scouts, and asked, "What did you scouts see?"

"They have bows."

"They don't have gold and iron."

"They can spin and weave."

Chen Jian knocked on the heads of these people and said, "What else?"

Several people shook their heads, Chen Jian smiled and said, "Do they have anything to eat?"

"No."

"Then their clansmen are not far away, otherwise they wouldn't be able to take nothing. Let's go downstream now and see the situation."

Only then did the scouts understand, and they went down the river in a team of three or four.

Looking at Si and Yu, Chen Jian couldn't calm down for a long time. Finally, he saw something familiar in this world, and he felt an inexplicable feeling - like a lonely person who suddenly found someone with whom he could communicate, even if it might be Being an enemy is better than endless darkness and loneliness.

He asked someone to drag a boat, recalled the vocabulary that existed in the tribe before he appeared, pointed to the boat and said, "Ours."

I roughly gestured again, meaning that you stole our boat, so we arrested you.

The faces of those people no longer panicked, and they muttered a few words that Chen Jian could not understand. Chen Jian probably heard the word thirst and asked someone to fetch a jar of water.

After observing the expression of that person quietly, there was no surprise after seeing the round clay pot. Obviously, they had seen clay pots before.

Judging from their hair and buns, they have their own culture, but their weapons are still made of stone. This tribe should not be too big, and at most it is about the same as their own military strength.

But the problem now is that I still have six or seven hundred prisoners of war in my hands, which slows down my progress, and I have to assign people to take care of them.

If the other party knows the situation on their side, they don't need to fight directly, and they can drag themselves down by harassing themselves.There is not much food on my side, no matter how fast the civet cat runs, it will take many days to deliver the food.

These people should have migrated along the river from afar, otherwise it is impossible for the nearby tribes to have no news at all, and it is impossible for a Meteorite tribe to dominate the vicinity.

At this time, the migration of tribes was still a normal thing. The Huangdi tribe in the previous life also lived by water and grass at the beginning. The Xia Dynasty moved the capital several times.

Migration is not necessarily nomadic, and nomadic is just a different way of life that appears after the [-]mm precipitation line moves southward.

Maybe the slash-and-burn land is not fertile, maybe a powerful enemy has risen nearby, or the priest has received some apocalypse, which may lead to migration.

Now he really wants to know the development of this tribe, does it belong to a certain tribe within the scope of a large cultural circle?Or did it develop on its own?

If you belong to a branch of a large cultural circle, your own tribe should also integrate into this large cultural circle similar to yourself in the future and become the leader of civilization.

Through this tribe, he can know what is going on in the lower reaches of the Grass River.And with the three items of silk, jade, and cattle, they can finally have a decent technical exchange with their own tribe.

Chapter 56 A Shot of a Stone

In the evening, Acorn brought the captives and the rest of his tribe to the river.

For the first time, the eyes of the six people tied to the tree showed astonishment. They knew that those tied to the rope were captives. How could this tribe capture so many people at once?

After simply setting up the camp, Chen Jian tied the six captives aside, not allowing them to see his tribe eating acorns, and not allowing them to see how much food his tribe still had.

The soldiers were ready to fight, and the men on the wolf belt were fishing with nets on the river. Chen Jian was anxiously waiting for the scouts to come back.

Before the sun set, the scouts finally returned.
