Reborn stone tools to farm

Hundreds of miles away, the Stone Tribe is huge and bloated, and their residences cannot keep up with the population growth. Not only are there a large number of slaves, but many newcomers are also surrounded by the open air. The heat of the previous trade has cooled to freezing point, and no one dares to speak out. He spoke and moved slowly, lowered his head and did things in a muffled voice, only the occasional sound of objects colliding in the camp.

At this time, there was a sudden rustling sound in the distant forest, and many people nearby heard the sound, and a woman with disheveled hair stumbled in from the bushes, staggered and fell down. on the ground.

The woman fell to the ground and there was no movement for a while. No one around stepped forward to check. Instead, they retreated like a flock of startled sparrows, leaving a large semicircular open space.

Not a little movement alarmed the people inside. A woman who seemed to be of some status came over with a few people, and carefully squatted down and turned the people lying on the ground over. Surprised, he hurriedly shouted to the people behind him: "Quick, send her in!"

Several people hurriedly sent this woman who didn't know whether she was alive or dead into a room, and soon, an old woman with a wrinkled face walked in, followed by the patriarch Yan of the Stone Tribe.

The old woman pushed back the woman's hair, grabbed her chin, looked around, and said, "Give her some water, she should be fine."

Yan waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately crawled out of the house, and after a while they came back with a bowl of water, raised the woman's head and fed it.

"Cough...cough cough cough!"

Probably because of choking, the woman fell on the ground and began to cough violently. The water in her mouth flowed all over her face and the ground. It took her a while to recover, and she looked at Yan and called softly: "The patriarch."

The woman's condition looked very bad, her thinned face was sallow, and the dark under eyes were also very obvious, making her whole person look sick.But these were obviously not within Yan's consideration, she grabbed the woman's shoulder and asked anxiously: "How, did you find those people?"

"Monsters! Those are monsters!" The woman yelled in horror, tears welled up in a flash, and waved her hands indiscriminately.

The people around were taken aback, Yan pressed the woman's shoulder and asked, "What did you see?!"

"A terrible face, a voice like thunder, and I still saw..." As if thinking of something terrible, the woman lowered her head, covered her face with her hands, and said in a trembling voice: "All of a sudden a tribe people died, and the ground was red and full of blood..."

The woman looked a little dazed, and Yan quickly calmed down after being shocked. These sounded too unbelievable, but she was apprehensive in her heart, but she didn't fully believe it. After a little thought, she asked, "What else? There are a lot of them?"

"Not much." The woman sobbed, but this time she shook her head.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Yan frowned slightly at the distraught woman, and said lightly: "You can rest these few days, I'm leaving first."

The woman was still covering her face and crying, until she was the only one left in the room before she let go of her hand, her eyes flickered, and finally gradually dimmed.

Seemingly discouraged, the woman slumped her shoulders. Sure enough, just as the man said, Yan would not care about those who left with her, and she was also useless after getting the answer.The woman hugged her arms and closed them again, suddenly feeling very cold around her.

After sitting in a daze for a while, the woman reached into her neckline and took out a handful of leaves. These leaves looked a little dry, not something you would see often.She put one of them in her mouth and put the rest safely nearby before lying down to rest.

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

The atmosphere in the Stone Tribe is becoming more and more tense, but the Wood Tribe here is no different from the past, the work that needs to be done, the work that needs to be done, except for the fighters who are training hard, still seem to be at ease.

"Hazel?" Jing came out of the pharmacy with a small dustpan in her arms, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and she was still a little confused.

Tang Zheng, who raised her sleeves and was digging the soil in her yard, raised her head when she heard the sound, raised her smiling face, waved and shouted, "Here."

Walking up to Tang Zheng, Jing pinched her sleeves and wiped the sweat off her face and asked, "Did you see the herbs I put at the door?"

"Huh?" Tang Zheng thought for a while, and seemed to have some impressions, "Is it the pot in the second frame?"

"Yeah, I used it to make the medicine powder to stop the bleeding, did you take it?"

Tang Zheng touched his nose guilty, and nodded slightly.

"What do you want this for?" Jing became more and more confused.

"It's just... used to deceive people." Tang Zheng stuffed himself with a handful of grass to the woman who let him go, saying that it was poisonous, and secretly took the grass at the door and lied to her again. It’s the antidote, and the fact that taking one tablet a day won’t cause an attack came out, “You said that those places are fine to eat, so I just took a pot. Are you in a hurry, and I’ll go out with you to pick some?”

Jing suddenly didn't know what to say, so she gave her a funny look and said, "Forget it, I'll just go to He's and get some, it's not too hard to find."

"Hey." Tang Zheng smiled flatteringly, put down the hoe and took Jing's hand, "Go, I'll go get it with you."

When the two arrived at He's side, a group of women were intensively grinding and processing all kinds of medicinal materials, forming an assembly line, and finally in the hands of He and other Wu people, they were made into jars of medicinal powder, all of which were used to stop bleeding and treat trauma. Well, the effect of Jing doing it by herself is better, but some of the herbs in it are relatively rare, and she alone is enough to deal with it.

The kind Tang Zheng took is more common in places a little north, and you can’t find it in the south. Jing took a little and was about to leave, but He stopped him and started talking. Tang Zheng, who was left alone, sat bored Swaying her feet on the table, watching other people doing things, the strong herbal smell permeated the surroundings, which was actually not very pleasant, but she was used to being a wizard's wife.

Not long after, a man came running outside, sweating profusely as if he had run a long way, and when he saw Tang Zheng sitting inside, he breathed a sigh of relief, and gasped, "Patriarch, I finally found you, Que." Here you go, my grandmother told me to call you."

"Understood, you go first." Tang Zheng jumped down from the table, just took two steps, then retreated, leaned in front of Jing and kissed her face without hesitation, and said with a smile: " I'll pick you up later."

Jing blushed and pushed her away, angrily said: "Don't make trouble, I will go back later."

"Then wait for me to eat!" Tang Zheng said.

"Shouldn't they eat with the sparrows?"

"No, wait for me to come back."

Not daring to delay for too long, Tang Zheng had already run to the door while he was speaking, and suddenly remembered something in the middle of the walk, and went around to the warehouse again.

Que was chatting with the old grandmother, and seemed quite interested, Tang Zheng coughed lightly, and walked in the door, "Chief Que, long time no see."

"Hehe, you don't seem to be in a hurry at all, come and sit." Que raised his chin at the seat opposite and said.

The old grandmother got up and said: "You talk, I will go first."

Tang Zheng took two quick steps up to help the old grandmother go out, and said: "Be careful on the way back, do you want me to call Zhi?"

"How old do you think I am?" The old grandmother patted Tang Zheng's hand amusedly, "Come in."

Tang Zheng didn't move. He stood at the door and watched the old grandmother leave. Que behind her couldn't help but asked, "Is what you told me true?"

"What did I lie to you for?" Tang Zheng turned around and sat on the seat, said with a light smile, "I can't believe it just because I'm not in a hurry. I don't dare to make such a joke."

Que's expression became more serious. More than a year in advance was too sudden for her. After pondering for a while, she asked again: "Then what do you think should be done?"

Tang Zheng untied a bamboo tube as thick as an arm from his waist and put it on the table. He frowned and said calmly, "I think, from now on, you and Liao should stop trading with the Stone Tribe."

"Start now?" Que was slightly startled, rubbing his fingers together anxiously, and asked again: "Can you guarantee to get enough salt from the River Tribe? Since he is related to the Stone Tribe, what if he is exposed?" manage?"

"I'm not going to exchange salt from the River Tribe," Tang Zheng said.

"What?!" Que, who has always been calm, almost jumped up from the chair, frowned and said solemnly: "This is not a joke. Without the Salt people for a long time, we will lose strength. Even if we have enough people, we will not be able to defeat the Stone tribe."

Tang Zheng chuckled, pushed the bamboo tube in front of the bird, and said, "Don't worry, open it first."

Que hesitated to take the bamboo tube, took a look at Tang Zheng before opening the lid, the white stuff inside made her feel strange yet familiar, "This is..."

"Try it?" Tang Zheng said.

I already had the answer in my heart, but Que still didn’t quite believe it. I picked up a little grain from the bamboo tube and put it in my mouth. The salty taste quickly filled my taste buds. I couldn’t deceive myself that it was not salt, but a high-quality salt with a lot less bitterness. , Que asked in disbelief: "Where did you come from?"

"I probably can't tell you where it came from, but you just need to know that you don't need to rely on the Stone Tribe or the River Tribe. I have the ability to get enough salt now, even more than the River Tribe." Tang Zheng raised his head slightly. The head said confidently, "Then there is no scruples now, do you agree with the plan I said before?"

After recovering from the shock, Que took a deep look at the young face on the other side, and nodded, "I'm fine."

The turmoil in Que's heart couldn't be calmed down, and she vaguely guessed that perhaps Tang Zheng had already had a salt channel, and the delay in the past few years was just a perfunctory way to them, but looking at it now, the tribe they supported at the beginning seems to have become so powerful It was beyond their imagination, or perhaps, the other party never thought of being inferior to them from the very beginning.

"In this case, let's talk about the next thing when Liao comes." Tang Zheng raised the corners of his lips to show his joy, got up and said: "The old grandmother should come to have dinner together later, I still have something to do at home. , I will excuse you first."

Que nodded in a daze, and couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart as she watched Tang Zheng's leaving back. Once upon a time, the little girl who would be scared when she saw them and pretended to be calm had become so scary. Without the threat of the Stone Tribe, she and Fang together could not shake it.

I can only hope that those Tang Zhengs who promised before can really do it, and don't become the second stone tribe.
