A group of hurried people walked through the jungle, forty or fifty people, and the one at the front was looking around, as if looking for something.

"Did your people lead the wrong way?" A thick voice squeezed out from the man's throat, with a trace of undetectable dissatisfaction.

"No." The woman beside her replied decisively, without any fluctuation in her tone.

The two people talking were Que and Liao. The former was invited by Tang Zheng to visit the Wood Tribe after attending the gathering of the Stone Tribe, while the latter was just to join in the fun. What good things can the little baby who negotiated with him come up with.

The group of people walked in this mountain forest for eight days. The people of Que are good at communication, and they often maintain more or less contact with other tribes. They also have an impression of the location of the Mu tribe, so they lead the way.The people of the Wolf Tribe rarely interfere with the affairs of other people's territories except for their own one-acre three-point land. They don't know the way and can only follow them.

Liao's throat twitched twice, suppressing the complaint he blurted out, and asked: "Do you really think the Wood Tribe will have any good things?"

"You'll know when we get there." Que replied flatly, then said after a pause, "That's not the original purpose, have you forgotten?"

"No, I'm not just curious. But..." Liao's slightly narrowed eyes flashed a dangerous light, "Is there still time to find a replacement?"

Hearing this, Que sighed softly, "Let's talk about it, go back and get ready early, you're okay, I'm afraid her first target will be me."

Liao didn't answer any more, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, until the person in front suddenly let out a scream, and everyone looked up for the sound, and then they were all frozen in place.

"This..." Liao's eyes widened in disbelief. They came over the mountain. Standing on this low hillside, they happened to be able to see the abrupt open space in the forest. Tree trunks surrounded it, blocking most of the view, only a group of people running in the large open space on the other side of the stream could be seen.

"What is this?" Liao asked softly, seemingly raving, not knowing who he was looking for an answer to.

After recovering from the shock, Que raised his foot and walked forward, "Go, let's have a look."

Almost right here.

-------------------

Tang Zheng, who has been idle at home for several days, is now counting her rice, picking out the shriveled and bad ones, and putting them into clay pots properly.

"One, two... so few." Tang Zheng muttered to himself and fiddled with the yellow and orange rice in the small jar.

These wild rice seeds will fall off as soon as they are mature, and it is quite difficult to find them in the water. After all, this is the instinct of people to reproduce.

There wasn't much rice by the river, and after several days of fishing in the water with bare feet, I could get less than three bowls for the people's usual meals, and the seeds for an acre of land were enough to choke.

It seems that we have to start with the sparrow.

Silently putting away the pot carefully, Tang Zheng walked out of the cave.What is different from usual is that there are many bamboo poles that have been cut in half in the open space in the past few days, some of which are still clear water, and some have turned into snow-white salt grains.

Both brine and salt sand have been filtered and boiled, and now they are waiting for the excess water vapor to be evaporated in the sun. About fifty or sixty bamboo tubes with a length of ten centimeters can be filled, and the amount of salt ingots the size of a fist is not enough. Underestimated, he can be regarded as a real "rich man".

Tang Zheng was checking the progress of drying the salt when suddenly someone ran across the creek from the opposite side, "Patriarch!"

"Slow down, what's the matter?!" Seeing the anxious look of the visitor, Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, don't tell me what's wrong with someone.

"Yes, someone is coming! Lots!"

"What!" The intuition was that Que and the others had arrived, and Tang Zheng was startled, "Come on, come with me!"

Pulling people to rush out, Tang Zheng turned around halfway and shouted: "Shan, close the door!"

"it is good!"

The front foot left, and the back foot mountain closed the door tightly, and the outside could not see what they were doing inside.

"Where are they?" Tang Zheng asked while running.

"Hurry up, I saw them on the hillside to the southeast when I came." The man replied hastily.

After a while, Tang Zheng settled down a bit, ran over to grab Zhi Zhi who was still training, and said, "The people from the Sparrow Tribe are here, let's go!"

Zhi's expression suddenly became serious, he stood up and waved his arms, the men behind him followed him and ran towards the door in a well-trained manner, and the women on the side also followed quickly under the leadership of Shan.

Fortunately, I practiced specially for this before, and I saw men standing on both sides of the city gate with neat steps, with stone axes pinned to their waists and spears in their hands, and women standing two steps away behind them. , the wooden bow is held in the hand and hangs on the left side of the body, Zhi and Shan are standing outside the city gate, waiting for the "guest" to arrive.

Already having the posture and momentum of a warrior, Tang Zheng nodded secretly, and ran back to the house to welcome the old grandmother out.

"Now you are the patriarch, what should I do?" The old grandmother waved her hands again and again to shirk.

"But there's no reason not to go out and meet people when they come here." Tang Zheng persuaded, "I wasn't the patriarch at the beginning of the year, so they thought I was joking if it changed too quickly."

The old grandmother thought about it, and it was indeed time for the younger generation to calm down the situation. After all, the two who came here are big shots, so they can't be bullied, "Okay, let's go and see."

Seeing that the old grandmother agreed, Tang Zheng smiled and went to help her up. Of course, she was not afraid of the other party in her own territory, but thinking of the bet between Que and the old grandmother... Maybe there will be a good show to watch.

Que and Liao walked in the front and walked towards the only gap in the strange building. They looked at Liulu and looked at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help being secretly surprised. There is such a way, why didn't they think of it.

Suddenly two people came out of the strange "hole". The people behind Que and Liao held up their weapons and stood on guard. When they approached slowly, they were even more surprised!

The warlike Liao was ignited the moment he saw the opponent, and the excitement made the hairs on the back of his neck start to tremble, his hand holding the stone ax slightly tightened, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"We didn't come to fight." Que immediately interrupted his rushing thoughts, a militant lunatic is always easy to get carried away.

"Tsk." Liao put down his raised hand, and said angrily: "That person looks interesting, I haven't seen such an imposing person in other tribes for a long time, including the woman next to me, I have a little hand itch."

Not only him, but also the men of the Wolf Tribe behind him were all very itchy in their hearts. Fighting and force were not only their beliefs, but also their pleasure.

"Then let's wait until we get in." Que glared at him. She is not a warlike wolf, and the opponent's strength will only make her fearful. Looking at it now, if there is a fight, her side has the least chance of winning.

"Stop." Zhi and Shan swung their spears horizontally, crossing them together to block the way of Que and the others.

The two patriarchs frowned slightly, with a little displeasure in their hearts. Few people dared to treat them like this. The people behind them stepped forward to say something, but a slightly immature voice came from the front: "Finch, You are here!"

Hearing Tang Zheng's voice, Zhi and Shan opened their spears to let out the way, Que's complexion softened slightly, and nodded to Tang Zheng's smile, and was slightly taken aback when they noticed the people around her, "Are you... ..."

The wrinkles on the old grandmother's face have softened a lot after nearly a year of nourishment, and her complexion is also rosier than before, but after all those years of hard life, she looks much older than others. Staying in childhood, now I just feel a little familiar.

"My name is Sang. Welcome to the Wood Tribe." The old grandmother said with a smile.

Pausing for a second, Que took her trademark smile and nodded slightly, "You are not the same as before."

"Hehehe, you are not too, you just came to my place at that time." The old grandmother made a gesture on her chest and joked.

Que was slightly embarrassed, how could this person still be as "outspoken" as before, and he couldn't ask for a little advantage.

"But you are the patriarch now." The old grandmother put down her hands and said with emotion: "I have already come down, so I don't have to bear the burden of the tribe anymore."

"Well, I am the patriarch of the Mu tribe now." Tang Zheng replied to Que's puzzled eyes.Turning his head, he said to Liao at the side: "Patriarch Liao, I'm glad you can come with me."

Liao snorted, glanced at Zhizhi who was holding a spear, and said, "Is this how you welcome guests?"

Tang Zheng walked up to Liao and said politely: "Don't be angry, our tribe is small and there are not many people. I am also afraid that you are all strong and strong. Why don't you put down your weapons first?"

Liao looked at each other angrily, and said in a low voice, "What do you mean? You mean I will attack you?"

"Of course not!" Tang Zheng immediately denied it, and then said helplessly, "I also have to think about my own people. It's not that you are dark-hearted, but I have seen the behavior of the Stone tribe. I really can't be careless."

Mentioning the incident of being ambushed at the beginning, Liao also eased up a lot, but he was still a little upset about how much he had to compare with Yan, so he kept a straight face and said nothing.

Tang Zheng asked Que for help with his eyes, Que patted Liao's arm with a smile and said, "Okay, do you really want to fight?"

"Hmph!" Liao snorted again, threw the stone ax at his waist and the one in his hand aside, and threw it on the ground beside Zhizhi's feet, then strode inside.

In fact, going to the Stone Tribe also has such rules, so as not to cause troubles with weapons. At that time, it will not be lip service, it must be real.It's not that hard to accept, it's just that I can't live with the face of being stopped when I first arrived.

"Don't be afraid, his temper is just like this, it's fine." Que said.

"It's okay, it's my problem." Tang Zheng shook her head, and then said: "Go in first, it's getting late, let's have dinner together later."

Tang Zheng asked Zhi to help the old grandmother down to rest, and took Que and the others to the middle room, and said to Que while walking, "I just became the patriarch not long ago, and the old grandmother is old, and I will have dinner later." Come back in time."

"Really?" Que glanced at the backs of the two leaving, then turned around and said, "Your tribe is very special, and so are you."

"Ah, it's all thanks to our ancestors." Tang Zheng repeated the lie that I haven't mentioned for a long time, "Before I fell outside and almost died, my ancestors told me five things in a dream, otherwise we would have already Frozen to death in the last snow season."

"Oh? There are other things like this?" Now not only Que, but also Liao who was walking aside with a cold face came over. The ghosts and gods were not unbelievable to them, even more convinced than ordinary people.

"Actually, there's nothing we can't talk about. This one is naturally the basket I taught you, so that we can bring back more food." Tang Zheng raised her hand to signal them to look around, "These two are naturally this The surrounding walls protect us from being attacked by wild animals at night, and we can rest assured of the safety of our clansmen when we go out.”

During the conversation, several people had already reached the door. Tang Zheng pointed to the inside and said, "Third, this house allows us to shelter from the wind and rain without staying in a dark and damp cave. Come, everyone, sit down and talk."

The author has something to say: the sentences of talking and chatting may be more normal, otherwise I am not very good at expressing, I don’t know if you will see it as a little inconsistent...

_(:з」∠)_Another cutie recommended a documentary called "Nourishment of All Things". You can see what a real pottery wheel looked like in ancient times.

The documentary is good to watch, but you can’t believe it all. For example, the advertisement in the front is harmless, and the bird’s nest is also a food with little nutrition. The latter one talks about the use of craftsmen: craftsmen build a country, craftsmen run a country, and craftsmen make ditches.This sentence is referred to in "Kao Gong Ji" to refer to the craftsmen who built the city walls in water conservancy projects, and it is not appropriate to use it to summarize the spirit of craftsmen.

Having said so much... I just want to say...don't eat too much during the Chinese New Year, or... (whispering.jpg)
