When Shi Chu and the others came back from the forest, the temperature had risen significantly, and the big tree on the Weipo was already shiny green. In fact, two days ago, some tribes had already arrived at the Wu tribe one after another.

Communication is lagging these days, and various accidents may occur on the road, so they usually set off at about the same time, but the arrival date is not fixed.

The first ones to come were the Chen tribe, a small tribe on the west side of Weipo. Their condition was not very good. The few people who came were only wrapped in tattered animal skins, and they were far less tall than the Wu tribe. He is half a head shorter than Zhang Zongrui, and he is malnourished at first glance.

Sang and Zhang Zongrui said that the people of the Dust Tribe were not good at fighting wild beasts. In fact, the past years were not bad. Women in their tribe have always been respected, because the women of the Dust Tribe are good at picking a plant called Shengsheng on the mountain wall. The wild fruit of the fruit, there are often birds nesting on the mountain wall, and some birds' eggs can be dug out.But in the past two years, the fruit has not grown well, which made the situation of the Chen tribe a little bit worse.

This time, what the Dust Tribe exchanged was some raw fruit and a dozen baskets of bird eggs of different sizes.

Because this kind of transaction is only done twice a year, the eggs they bring are packed in straw woven baskets half a person's height. It is crushed, and it is also the experience of the trading society for many years.

Then, there is the Jiang tribe. They live on a branch of the Weihe River. At ordinary times, they live by hunting fish and waterfowl.

Therefore, the people of the Jiang tribe are covered with fish skin, and they smell a pungent fishy smell from a distance, perhaps because they have been in the water all year round, their skin is darker, their feet are big, and they are not tall , they don't look as short and thin as the Dust Tribe, but they are very capable.

Then there is the Wa Tribe, which also depends on the Weihe River, but lives in the swamp, and is good at hunting all kinds of beasts in the swamp. The species in the swamp are very rich, not only are there many animals, but also many plants, and they have been used to living in the swamp for generations. The Wa tribe is at home in such an environment, and the degree of danger is much lower than that of the Wu tribe. Therefore, the Wa tribe has always lived well, but because of the tribe, the population is not large, so it is not as big as the Wu tribe. tribe.

These three tribes came the fastest. On the day Shichu and the others came back from the mountains, two more tribes came, among them was the mountain tribe that Li and the others had mentioned, and this was the only big tribe that could compete with the Wu tribe. .

"In this case, why don't you go to the mountain tribe to trade?" Zhang Zongrui asked Sang.

Sang said with a smile, "Because almost everyone relies on the Weipowei River, the hill tribes are farther away from us after all, but closer to those tribes in the middle."

"Then why don't they trade with the people in the middle?"

"The hill tribes were kicked out of the central region at the very beginning. Many tribes in the central area have enmity with the hill tribes. Therefore, they dare not go there to trade with others, so they can only come to us."

Zhang Zongrui raised his eyebrows, and looked at those tall and heroic young men with arrogance, no wonder, with their eyes above the top, he probably considered himself a large tribe in the middle of the country, and looked down on these tribes of all sizes living in the backcountry. .

But there is no way to only hang out with them, and I guess I don't feel very comfortable in my heart.

At this time, the hunting team led by Jing was almost here, and many members of the tribe gathered around the roadside. Whether it was the first hunting team or the second hunting team, they were all elite teams in the tribe, and they had always attracted much attention. They wanted to see See how much they can bring back on their first hunt of the year.

"Hey, what is that?"

Everyone looked at what they were dragging in surprise, because they had never seen it before, so they were all surprised at the moment.

Behind everyone, there are two long and narrow "wooden boats" dragging, on which are piles of prey that have been slightly processed.

This time into the forest, Shi Chu and Sol not only wanted to hunt with them, but also to get familiar with the process of using the inner strength of moves. After a winter, they had almost learned the skills, but they didn't use them in actual combat Not really learned.Especially the use of internal energy, they can't control it smoothly, but out of habit, they always exert as much force as they want, and soon find that they lose their force in a short time.

In order to allow them to control their strength, and also to be able to hunt more prey and bring back more harvest, Sol and Shi Chu discussed and took them to make such a tool. Basically, it is a simple raft surrounded by wooden planks. Tightened with rattan, it looks like a wooden boat with a high side. The two ends are slightly wider in the middle, and the bottom is designed like a sled, which can save a lot of effort when dragging on the grass in the mountains and forests.

Because there are dense trees in the mountains and forests, this "wooden boat" is made narrow and long, and it is easier to pass through the woods. For stability, it is also a reference to the appearance of the boat. It is covered with a wooden cover and covered with a layer of processed beast fur. , everything can be put in it, some more expensive things are inside, as for the prey that is not always needed, it doesn’t matter if you tie more around it, even if it falls down, you can still continue to pull it forward, and it’s not easy to run. trouble.Because it is pulled forward by rattan, and there is a chassis imitating a sled underneath, for these powerful fighters, it is so light that it seems weightless.So, everyone piled things up layer by layer, each of them made two "ships", one was left at the base, and another one was built on the road when it was full, and now one person dragged two ships back. tribe.

Usually, each warrior can bring back three or four hundred catties of prey, which is considered a good harvest, but this time, it has been doubled directly. Using tools and using pure human power is completely different.

Lian Sang took several steps forward at once, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

Zhang Zongrui smiled slightly, and looked at the Shantribe people who were also shocked and dazed out of the corner of his eyes.

I'm afraid they have never seen such a large amount of prey brought back from a single hunt. Even the big tribes in the central region probably don't have the ability to use such large tools.

In fact, the performance of the Mountain Tribes is considered the best. The Jiang and Wa Tribes lost their composure even more.

Jing walked over step by step, as if he didn't see the people from other tribes who were watching.

"Wu Zhu, this year we may be able to make the people of the tribe no longer hungry." As he spoke, his own eyes became a little moist.

The Wu tribe is a large tribe with a population of five to six thousand people. Although it is already inferior to those large tribes in the central region, it is not much less than the mountain tribes.It is no easy task to feed so many people.The reason why the Wu Tribe split at the beginning was also because it was almost impossible to live here.

Wild animals are not easy to hunt, this is a fact generally accepted by people in this era.

The reason why the tribes in the central region are numerous and large is because the central plains are rich in products, the beasts are not so strong, and the beasts are much larger and can support more people.

Of the 6000 people, only half were able to go hunting, and the remaining half were old and weak, women and children, and they were generally raised by their families or tribes.Hunting the prey handed in by the first team and the second team can only feed a small part of the people, plus some wild fruits picked by the women, there are still many people in the Wu tribe who are hungry and full, which can only be regarded as Just live.

In winter, Shi Chu and the others gave a lot of food they had saved to the family next door. The three children in his family were all starving and skinny.

How can Jing's promise not make people's eyes red.

Patriarch Ling was also there, and he was not at all unhappy that the team led by Jing was better than the team led by Mastiff this time. On the contrary, like Sang, he was about to shed tears.

Although the Wu Tribe looks prosperous now, the patriarch has always had to worry about food. Now that Jing and the others can hunt so much prey, how could he be unhappy?

"Okay, okay!" Ling laughed loudly, "You are worthy of being a warrior of our Wu tribe!"

At this time, the people in the tribe who heard what Jing said cheered, and many people in the distance also cheered. The reason for their cheering was that they saw the mountain of prey brought back by Jing, and they all knew that this time the harvest was good. That's all.

The people from the Mountain Tribe looked at each other, and one of them lowered his voice, "Let's talk to the people from the Wu Tribe about that matter."

"Among these prey, there are almost no ordinary beasts, almost all of them are fierce beasts." Another young man looked serious, "This shows that our estimation of the strength of the Wu tribe is all wrong."

"The hunting period is not long, so many beasts can be hunted, and they can be brought back..."

The person who spoke at the beginning nodded, "With their help, I think the hope of success will be even greater!"

"However, if you join forces with the Wu Tribe, they will definitely share part of the income—"

"What's the matter, if we don't unite, we will have to pay a higher price."

The leader nodded slowly, "You're right. It's so far away from the Wu tribe. They can't possibly want to go to the central region like us. If we swallow the Ge tribe, we can occupy a place in the central region."

"Then why should they agree to us?" Someone sighed.

"Isn't there a ready-made reason?" A young man who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "They are asking about the survivors of the displaced people from the tribe that was separated. Don't forget that the Wu tribe that fell in the middle of the country, Ge The tribe has also shown great strength!"

Hatred is sometimes an important reason. I heard that several people from the Erwu tribe have escaped and arrived here.If what those Wu tribe people said before is true, they are not only accepted and recognized here, but also seem to have some ability.

There's no need to talk about this matter.
