Mountains and seas can be flat

Even if Fang Zheng is not a veterinarian, he can clearly see that the two animals are cold.They originally lived in the tropics, and were forcibly brought to the snow-covered plateau, where they caught a cold, sneezed, and had a runny nose.As long as it is touched, it will try its best to rub the source of warmth.

Fang Zheng first asked them to take measures to protect them from the cold, such as padding them with a lot of fur, and lighting a fire source near them.

In addition, he told those animal trainers to find as many warm foods as ginger, glutinous rice, chestnuts, osmanthus, jujube, lotus root and the like.Feed to omnivorous elephants.The carnivorous tiger feeds it mutton, dog meat and pork liver.And in order to reduce the burden on the animals, the food is cooked before being fed.

After the food is cooked, it can effectively reduce the energy consumed by animals for digestion.Fangzheng's dietary and nourishing methods were very strange to the people at that time, especially cooked food for animals.They are dubious.

Moreover, the food resources proposed by Fang Zheng are too expensive.In Zujiang, where there is no currency transaction, it is difficult to exchange these things.Even if they are beast tamers appointed by the lord of the country.And the food intake of animals is huge.

They couldn't believe Fang Zheng at first.

Fang Zheng found another way. He thought of the medicinal material recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing", which is hot and cold.It is also an important traditional Chinese medicine that has been passed down to later generations, which can treat colds and colds.

And the most practical thing is that this kind of grass root can grow in mountain tundra, and it is spicy, bitter and slightly toxic.Birds and animals do not eat, and people do not pick.He went out for a day and came back with a big basket of grass crows.Just dig it, it's all over the place.

After Fang Zheng soaked them and boiled them, he could make a warm Chinese herbal soup that was as effective as ginger soup.After the two animals were forcibly fed with drugs, they eased up a lot that night.Eat a little more cooked food, and the spirit will rise all at once.

Those beast tamers who saw Fang Zheng's strange method really worked, not to mention how happy they were, and changed their views.

There are a total of a hundred animal trainers, except for one who is in charge of executive management, and the rest are in charge of their own tribute animals, with equal status.They come from different backgrounds, so competition is naturally indispensable.But in this case, everything is superficially happy.Because if the livestock dies, bad luck everyone will be chained.

"My name is Xin Guo," the general manager of the beast taming woman told Fang Zheng: "The white elephant and white tiger that went wrong this time are tribute beasts under my name. Thanks to you for saving them. Otherwise—" She didn't tell Fang Zheng, Although the whole group is prosperous, but there are also some people who are trying to escape, if they can successfully extract themselves, they will use this to make a fuss to beat her madly and replace her.

She pretended to chat with Fang Zheng relaxedly: "Great, this time the tribute is successful, the king will reward me, and my sisters will be able to recruit more good blood. When we enter the city, we I will definitely thank you very much.”

Fang Zheng knows that there are many different cognitions in the matrilineal society.In order not to expose his ignorance, he made up a reason for himself, "I ran out very early to live in the mountains, and I didn't know what it was like in Yaocheng".

The Yaocheng Guard Corps, known as the Central Corps, is also under the jurisdiction of the Great Lord.Fang Zheng suspected that he was also working with Tu Shanyue, Gao Xinxing and others.So before entering the city, he tried his best not to reveal his identity, so as not to have unnecessary conflicts with them at the city gate.

Although he has not seen the city walls of Yao City so far, according to Fang Zheng's experience, a country is so important that it is impossible to open its doors wide.

Xin Guo was a little surprised, and quickly gestured to Fang Zheng in a low voice: "Don't say that you have no owner, you will be robbed."

Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Steal?" He twisted the sword in his hand, "Steal what?"

Xin Guo thought to himself, with your handsome appearance, strong physique, and untamed arrogance, you are the most loved by those village elders.She waved her hand and said, "Just grab them directly. Don't think you can beat them. I control these white tigers and camels, and I can only escape when I encounter golden eagles and big lions. So don't talk nonsense outside."

The big lion is not a lion, it should be the poodle that Fang Zheng saw that day.The predecessor of the Tibetan Mastiff was more ferocious than tigers and wolves.Moreover, it will also march and cooperate, which is the beheading weapon of Zujiang Beast.

Fang Zheng asked Xin Guo, "Even if I don't tell you, you still have to check my identity when you enter the city gate?"

Xin Guo said: "You can hide under the belly of the white camel. It has long hair and can cover it."

It is rare for Fang Zheng to meet an ordinary Zu Jiang who "repays his kindness", but he still maintains the vigilance he should have.Thinking about whether the other party used this to cheat his trust so that he could abduct himself.

But he soon knew Xin Guo's true intentions.

"If you're in the city, visit my house." The animal tamer smiled and said, "I'll ask my sisters to take you to eat delicious food."

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes: "Is it for yourself, or your sisters?"

Seeing that Fang Zheng pointed it out, Xin Guo readily admitted, "My sisters. They are all beautiful. I forget it, I like to run outside, and I can just take their children with me in the future. My aunt is the same Yes. You can live with me, I will not use you as a slave."

Fang Zheng felt that although Zu Jiang's women were tough enough to be a little crazy, they also brought enough confidence to their lives.She spoke and acted very easily and autonomously.Fang Zheng hesitated. He wanted to fool around and agree temporarily, but then he thought of his adoptive father's exhortation to be an honest and good boy. His mind felt like a hammer, and he sighed: "Thank you, but I can't stay for your sisters." Blood, will you still take me into the city?"

Xin Guo showed a slightly offended look. As a moderate towards men, she was sympathetic, but all she came into contact with were male slaves who were fearful.I have never met a person like Fang Zheng——I think highly of you if I am willing to ask you for blood.It will be rejected.

She sulked secretly for a while, but quickly adjusted and said, "Since it's agreed, I will still take you into the city."

Although she became colder, she did not take revenge on Fang Zheng.From this ordinary person, Fang Zheng finally saw a little of the sound mind that a "national of a great country" should have.

Fang Zheng saw Yaocheng the next day.Its snow-white city walls are said to be made of cow and goat milk and glutinous rice mortar, and are repainted every ten years.Of course, the glutinous rice at that time was not called by this name, and the Zujiang people called it "Biangu".Because glutinous rice is originally a variant of rice.The agricultural distribution of ancestral ginger is mainly in the mountain basin at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains. Although the planting amount is not as large as that in the plains, it can still be used as one of the production methods due to the proper planting methods, supporting the economic use of ancestral ginger along with gathering, hunting, and animal husbandry. Spend.

The high white walls are beautiful and strong.The city wall is nine ren high, with beacon towers and animal whistles on it. There are two gates in the north and south, and the total guard force exceeds [-]. In addition, it is located high in the Kunlun Mountains, making it a fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

On the east and west sides, there are thousands of cliffs higher than the city wall. The city was built between two steep mountains. It is said that the lower part of the city center was originally a big rift valley between the two mountains.Later Nuwa filled it up with colorful stones.Therefore, the capital is built on it, and it is nourished by the aura of the sky-replenishing stone.Of course, that's just a legend.There is not a single word in the construction records about what lies beneath the foundations.

Fang Zheng saw two huge Gu sculptures on the top of the city gate from a distance.Thick and long chains are tied to the feet.Fang Zheng crawled under the white camel.It took all morning for the tribute team to enter the city.Some tamer's animals have to be inspected, and even picked on for being in poor condition or looking sick.But some were released without hindrance.

Xin Guo belonged to the latter, and her family also took care of her. The dozen or so white animals she was in charge of entered the city without passing inspection.From under the belly of the white camel, Fang Zheng saw Xin Guo stuffing things for the soldiers at the gate, which seemed to be a relationship of acquaintance.

In this way, Fang Zheng sneaked into the heavily guarded Yaocheng.

This is the first time that Fang Zheng has entered one of the largest cities in the great powers of this era. Although he has prepared himself for a long time, he is still very shocked.

The houses in the city are made of wood and stone, with neat and wide houses, and on the endless streets, people ride poodles or yaks from time to time.

Perhaps it was because the Yao Banquet was about to be held, and there were not many men, some of whom showed off their strong physiques on the street, and they were quite popular.According to Xin Guo, such a man, with good luck, will be invited by different clans every day, and even be favored by the female ancestor.

Fang Zheng looked at the women on the street surrounding the man, and thought to himself, people only saw the side of Zu Jiang women who regarded men as enemies, but did not see their absorption of strong men.This may be one of the reasons why they were able to stand as great powers in the harsh mountain and sea era.

It's just that they are very strict and vigilant against men's participation in politics, but with Lian Zifeng coming to power, this is slowly changing.

Xin Guo and the others want to take the tribute white animals to the sacrifice temple.Near the high platform in the southeast of Yao City, there is a large pasture space dedicated to confine these animals. On the day when the Yao feast begins, a thousand animals will be killed, and their blood will stain the altar red.The meat will be shared among all the warriors at the feast.

The Yao banquet lasted for ten days, with endless meat, endless wine, and Zu Jiang's most beautiful women throwing themselves into their arms.Even knowing that they are being "used as a tool", those men are still happy.

On the way, Xin Guo's face suddenly turned black, and he directed the other tamers to take a detour.Fang Zhengyao saw several beautiful women riding on the back of a tall white deer in that direction. There were also a few white peacock-like birds tied in front of them. They must be from a famous clan.

"Why do you want to hide?" Fang Zheng asked Xin Guo, whose face was like charcoal.

"That's Gao Xin's." Xin Guo gritted his teeth.

"What's the relationship between Gao Xin and Xin?" Fang Zheng remembered that Gao Xinxing, the ruthless leader of the Kunlun Northern Regiment, was Gao Xin. Does this name have any origin?

Xin Guo said: "The Gaoxin family was separated from the Xin family, but their final status was higher than that of the Xin family. They now have two female ancestors, and we only have one. So they named this clan to humiliate us .”

Although Fang Zheng knew that those who reproduced more than 1 people were called female ancestors, he was always confused about how to calculate it. One person must not be able to give birth to 1 people.Even if it is from the grandmother's generation, the female line has been reproduced for two or three generations, and each generation must have a lot of children to reach that number.However, when a woman is pregnant, her own physical strength is weakened. If she is pregnant and giving birth all day long, how can she lead the tribe and make it stronger?

There was no time to clarify the confusion at the moment, Fang Zheng blurted out and asked Xin Guo: "What about Gao Xinxing?"

Xin Guo frowned: "Didn't you say that you have been living in the mountains, why do you know her?"

Fang Zheng said without hesitation, "She killed my prey and threatened me."

"It's very similar to her style." Xin Guo laughed mockingly: "If the Gaoxin clan were wolves, she would be the most vicious among them."

Fang Zheng asked again: "Then will she participate in the Yao banquet and give birth to offspring?"

Xin Guo said: "Of course, except for Yao Yan. She will give birth to a child every year, and the boy will be thrown into the Kunlun Mountains to feed the wolves, and the girl will be sent back to Yao City. She has many male slaves. But it is said that her blood They are all wild men who go outside to find Yu Yi or Xia Zhu. She likes men who are off-road."

Fang Zheng was surprised: "Having a child every year, how does she lead the army?"

"How the female wolf bites her prey, she will lead the troops." Xin Guo glanced at Fang Zheng contemptuously, "Have you ever seen a female wolf who needs protection? Our Zu Jiang does not have a husband and wife family structure. Men are food, once let alone , but could eat us. Can't be relied on."

Fang Zheng learned a little more about Zu Jiang's social division of labor.In order to establish a country where women are privileged, they must also endure the double hardship of female pregnancy and the same division of labor.They take care-giving production as a natural law for granted.And experience it again and again.Only in this way can they reproduce the race and maintain their own privileges without relying on men.

Although Zu Jiang's female status is high, they also paid a great price.

In this metropolis of more than 2 people, Fang Zheng discovered an underground drainage system.Derived along the thick sewer channel to the outside of the snow-white city wall.The thin snow on the wall is slowly falling.The Kunlun Mountains are extremely cold, and there is snow in all seasons.The nearby peaks are capped, and the snow line has been white since ancient times.

"The snow in Yaocheng never melts all year round." Xin Guo watched Fang Zheng's eyes chasing those snowflakes, and said, "It's beautiful here, but it's also very cold."

Fang Zheng and Xin Guo walked near the altar, and the guards in that direction became more and more strict.Xin Guo said to the other party: "What are you doing in Yaocheng? If you want to go shopping and play, it is better to go to the northwest. The people who live here are the great commanders or relatives of the king..."

Fang Zheng was about to tell the truth, "I'm here to participate—" Suddenly, the door at the entrance of a nearby street was opened.Under the eaves decorated with luxurious cobblestones such as turquoise and agate, a woman shrouded in a black robe made a cold voice from under the tightly covered bamboo hat:

"The leader of the Chinese clan is here to find an old friend to reminisce about the old days."

Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows awe-inspiringly, and the guards at the gate of that street saluted her respectfully.Xin Guo was also shocked and knelt on the ground.

Fang Zheng turned around and looked at the woman whose face was covered under the black veil, although he had never heard this person's voice, and it was rumored that she hurt her throat.But it didn't prevent Fang Zheng from recognizing the red-clothed figure riding on the back of the two-headed savage bird that he had seen from a distance under the black robe.

That was the former commander of the Kunxiu Battalion. It was rumored that he had been injured by Bing Yi, so he resigned, Liu Yun.
