I'm doing infrastructure in ancient times

After a whole night's journey, everyone's faces were tired, especially those prisoners of war, who had survived on one breath until now, and now they were exhausted, their faces were ashen, and they looked like they could faint at any time.

Cheng Yang quickly asked the team to stop for a while to rest, and then asked the people around him to look for food.

The Jiuli people he brought were all tall and powerful, and they were all young and middle-aged. Although they had been running around all night, they seemed to be okay, especially compared with these prisoners of war, the gap was even more obvious.

Cheng Yang wanted to bring these prisoners of war to the western coastal area, but the mountains were long and the river was far away, and it would take several days of effort. With the physical strength of these prisoners of war, it was impossible to complete this trip without giving them a good boost. Itinerary, and these are already in his imagination, for this reason, Cheng Yang asked someone to bring a few clay pots.

These clay pots were also fired together with those utensils. They are not many and are used for emergencies. They brought these pots with them on the way here and hid them on the way. There is also food together.

These foods are sea fish and some fresh shellfish, which have been dried and wrapped in wide leaves and hidden in one place.

The tribes in the dense forest are closely connected, and even their beliefs are very similar. They hardly eat fish in the river, but they will not refuse to fish in the sea.Anyway, their ancestors were buried in the river, not in the sea. Isn't this considered an offense to their ancestors?Especially for those prisoners of war, they are so hungry now, and there are pursuers behind them who may catch up at any time, they don't care about the punishment of the gods, even if they really want to be punished, let them eat their stomachs first. .

Cheng Yang had someone prepare some food in advance, but the food can only be eaten for two meals at most. On the one hand, they don't have so many people to collect the food in a short period of time; food.

So these foods can only be used for emergencies. Almost all the Jiuli people present can make soup. Without Cheng Yang asking, he immediately lit the fire with his hands and feet, set up the clay pots, and put water and sea fish in them. It didn't take long for the steam to rise, and the delicious smell made the prisoners almost lose control.

Because there are not many clay pots, there are no more cups and bowls, and so many prisoners of war can only come forward to have a sip of hot fish soup in turn, even if several clay pots are boiled, so many people are waiting in line The people in the front are drinking soup, the people in the back are scratching their cheeks with greed, and their stomachs are empty, making them look even more pitiful, but some Jiuli people can't see it, and there are a few clever ones. Trying to fold it into a cup with a wide fat leaf, it can barely hold some soup in it, which makes these prisoners of war very grateful.Everyone was holding fish soup with tears in their eyes.

When the fish soup in several pots was gone, the group of prisoners of war turned their minds from eating and looked at the people in Jiuli.

Several people embraced an older man, walked up to Cheng Yang and the others, "Many, thank you very much..."

The few people in front of me were thin, especially the older one in the middle, who walked even more tremblingly, Cheng Yang couldn't help but give him a hand, "You don't need to thank me, I saved you for a reason. "

"I know, I know..." Zhigong nodded again and again, he had already heard from Shi Dun that these people didn't want to save them at first, they came for the tribes in the southern part of the dense forest, thinking of this, his eyes flickered The crowd in the distance glanced at them. They were just rescued by these people, "No matter what, you saved our Heisaki tribe, and you are our benefactors. As long as you need it, we Heisaki will do our best!"

There was a bit of commotion here, and the various small tribes who were relieved had different expressions and exchanged glances with each other, and soon Cheng Yang and others were surrounded by everyone.

"Our Yaoshan tribe is also willing to do our best for Jiuli!"

"Our Yunshui tribe is also willing!"

"Our Qishan tribe..."

"Our Zhoushan..."

The originally quiet environment suddenly became noisy. The names of these small tribes echoed in Cheng Yang's ears. There were so many prisoners of war. He knew that these people belonged to different tribes, but he didn't expect that there were so many tribes. Dozens of large and small?Some tribes have only a few people, so the population of prisoners of war is quite complicated.

"Everyone, be quiet." Cheng Yang said in a deep voice, his young face became sharp and angular under the wind, frost and scorching sun, and his sharp eyes scanned the circle, "Everyone should know something about us..."

"The reason why we Jiuli are willing to take huge risks to rescue everyone is because of our desire..."

"However, we don't force everyone present. If you don't want to, we don't force you. You can leave now on your own. Jiuli will never entangle you."

"And those who stay will overcome difficulties with us in Jiuli, and will face the attack of the dace tribe together." Cheng Yang's voice was slow and firm, word by word reaching the ears of everyone present, "Of course If you are willing to stay, we Jiuli will naturally treat each other with sincerity and plan for you how to escape the pursuit of Kunhu Lake."

This is actually like a gambling agreement, either to accept Jiuli's help, but the price is to have one more powerful enemy. At the same time, facing two powerful enemies, the dace and Kunhu, the danger factor can be imagined.If you don't want to face the attack of dace, you will naturally lose the help of Jiuli, and these prisoners of war are themselves defeated by Kunhu. If they are rescued, but their kidneys are weak and they have no foreign aid, they will be caught sooner or later. thing.

No matter how you look at these two choices, they are not good choices. Many people felt bitter on the spot. A Kunhu tribe has already tossed them like this. Imagine what the result would be.But without Jiuli's help, they would not have the confidence to escape Kunhu's pursuit.

"I am willing! Our Golden Crow Tribe is willing!" A thick voice resounded in the crowd, and everyone unconsciously looked at the speaker. A man with thick brows and black face was very eye-catching. The one who just spoke.

This person looks quite distinctive, and Cheng Yang saw that he looked familiar. Before he could think about it, he heard the clansman beside him whisper, "It's the Jinwu tribe. They used to be better than the Xuanniao tribe and The Wuyi tribe was a little bit close, but I didn't expect to be captured as a prisoner of war..."

"I don't know how many people are left in their tribe..." Being a prisoner of war is not a good thing, especially if you meet a tribe like Kunhu, it is easy to lose your life.

Cheng Yang knew it well, it seemed that this Jinwu tribe was originally a tribe in the south, and it was also a powerful and well-known tribe, no wonder this person would agree to this matter.The relationship between the south and the north is not very close, but they have always had transactions with each other, and this custom has lasted for an unknown how long, and there is a certain friendship between the two parties.What's more, the Jinwu tribe itself was captured by the Xuanniao tribe and sent to the Kunhu tribe, so the Kunhu tribe is actually the enemy of the Jin tribe.

Looking at it this way, the Jinwu tribe is a very reliable assistant. After all, they and Jiuli have a common enemy, and there are still countless generations of friendship between them.

Seeing that the Jinwu tribe spoke up, many tribes soon spoke up one after another. Cheng Yang saw that they were almost all the vanished tribes in the south. Like the Jinwu, they had two enemies, fin scales and Kunhu.

In a blink of an eye, nearly half of the people were willing to join Cheng Yang's team, which made everyone in Jiuli feel better. They paid a lot of money to rescue these prisoners of war, and even risked their lives Now, at least half of the people are willing to come to help, and they feel that the previous hard work is worthwhile, not to mention that there are still many people waiting and watching among the remaining half of the prisoners of war, and there will definitely be more help.

"We Heisaki also want to stay!" Zhigong shouted quickly, because he was relatively close to Cheng Yang and others. , it seems that this is the tribe of Shidun.

He guessed that the stone roller should have revealed something to his tribe members, such as they now have a seaside place to live in, or their pottery firing technology, no matter what the reason for this Heisaki, as long as they are willing to keep Next, that is a good thing for Jiuli, and he doesn't mind passing on what he knows to his allies.

If enough benefits can attract allies, then he doesn't mind adding his own weight.

Of course, not everyone is willing to take the risk to overcome difficulties with Jiuli. Even if they can get Jiuli's rescue, some prisoners of war still choose to leave.

Cheng Yang said before that he would not stop these people from leaving, so naturally he would not regret it. These people were unwilling to stay and help, even if he forced them to stay, it would be useless and a waste of resources.But in this way, those prisoners who choose to leave, he will not care about what will happen to them in the future. It is the greatest kindness for him and his tribe to rescue these people from the Kunhu tribe. How will they survive in the future? That's all up to them.

In the end, two-thirds of the prisoners of war were willing to stay and follow Cheng Yang's arrangement to continue westward with them.

Although there is no sign of the Kunhu tribe behind them for the time being, it does not mean that they are safe. When the Kunhu tribe handles the situation in the clan land well, they may send people to catch up at any time.Therefore, after the choice was confirmed, the two groups immediately parted ways and went their separate ways.

The farther west you go, the better the condition on the road. Seeing that there are more and more trees on the road, there are also many wild animals scurrying around in the woods, but they were all shot to death by the men of Jiuli with bows and arrows. It became everyone's lunch, and before they reached the western coastal land, the prisoners of war saw a circle around them.

In fact, it is not enough to say "round", but compared with the skinny and bony face before, the face is now fleshy.

The men in Jiuli have heard what Cheng Yang said a long time ago. These people will help them deal with the dace in the future. They may not be able to fight at that time. They must be strong and strong, so they are very concerned about feeding these prisoners of war. Everyone is very positive.
