[Ting Yu] Abandoned in the wild

32, trouble to find the door

When Okur and Peng Da were building the roof, Chen Ting was standing in front of the frame of the new house, frowning as if troubled.

"What's the matter?" Lueshang and Mike walked to him and asked.

Chen Ting looked at the ground that had already been compacted, and said, "You said before that when summer rainstorms come, it often lasts for more than half a month at a time. If the accumulated water does not have time to flow away, it is very likely that the rainwater will flow. Getting into the house is also a hassle."

"That's true." Mike nodded. "In the previous summer, Lueshang and I didn't dare to put anything on the ground. Sometimes there was water in the house, and there was no place to sleep. It's troublesome." kill."

Lue Shang said: "But this time our new house is built with a kang, so even if there is water, it should not affect sleep."

Chen Ting shook his head and said, "It's not about sleeping. If it lasts for more than half a month, the house will be full of water. No matter how solid the foundation we dig, it won't be able to withstand the rain."

"Then what do you think?" Lue Shang asked back.

Chen Ting said: "I don't know if you remember the stone slabs placed under the animal skins in my previous stone house. Those things have been scoured very smooth because they were buried in the river for a long time. I plan to spread them on the floor of the house." On the ground, it is equivalent to raising the house by one floor, and then blocking it with wooden boards at the door, so that together with the blocking of the door, I believe it can prevent rainwater from flowing into the house."

"I think it's a good idea. Otherwise, Lue Shang and I will go to move some slabs back in the afternoon." Mike nodded in agreement and said.

"I'll go with you." Chen Ting felt that this was his own house after all, and it was not good for others to do everything.

"Okay, you." Lueshang smiled and thumped him on the shoulder, "It's better than anything else to take care of your body." The wound left by the fight with the cannibal patriarch last time has not yet healed. Ting pulled the wound with all his strength, so the loss outweighed the gain.

"Okay." Between the brothers, Chen Ting was not polite, nodded his head and said in thanks, "Then it will be hard for you."

"Hmm." Lue Shang nodded.

The three of them discussed the matter and planned to build a little more of the back wall of the house before lunch, hoping that the back wall could be completely finished today.Unexpectedly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and several people came from the direction of the tribe accompanied by the old priest, led by Handa and his father.

"Sacrifice Ann." Ah Ting and the others hurriedly saluted, even Okur and Peng Da, who were building planks on the roof, quickly climbed down to salute.

"Are you building a new house?" The priest glanced at the house that only had a wooden frame now, and was a little surprised at the way of building a house that he had never seen before.

"Yes." Chen Ting nodded, "The stone house that I lived in before was built very simply, and there would always be air leakage in winter. I plan to build a new house so that Xiyu and Azhan can live more comfortably "As a man, there is nothing wrong with preparing a better living environment for his partner. Even the quasi-leader of the tribe, Handa, has no right to accuse Chen Ting of such behavior.

But they came here today to inquire about their crimes, not because of Chen Ting's house building.

Handa walked out from the side of the priest, glanced at Aoku, Peng Da and Luther, and asked in a cold voice: "The tribe has been hunting collectively for the past few days, and you said that you can't go because of something at home. Building a house for someone else here?"

Okur and the three of them are honest people, if it wasn't for Ah Ting's promise to teach Okur to make a bamboo bow that aroused their desire for a better life, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything against the tribal decision in this lifetime.

So being questioned by Handa, the three honest people didn't know what to say for a while.

However, Lue Shang couldn't understand Handa's provocative attitude when he ran to them, and said angrily, "What do you mean? Although you are the quasi-leader of the tribe now, no one gives you the right to interfere with the affairs of the tribe's own family." Things. The three of Okur also want to build a new house to make their spouse and children live more comfortably, can you control it?"

"Slight business." Handa lost face at the other party's unceremonious refutation, and shouted angrily: "You have your rules, but the tribe also has the rules of the tribe. Okur and the three of them have always been tribal collectives. One of the hunters suddenly stopped coming because he helped Ah Ting build a house, which would cause other people to be in danger due to uneven distribution of actions." Speaking of this, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly, "It's still Say, now that they have been with you for a long time, they only think about their own safety, and they don’t care about the rest of the tribe at all?"

The implication of what he said was that because Okur and the others had been in contact with Ah Ting and the others for a long time, they had also learned to think selfishly.

"You..." Lueshang got angry and was about to rush over, but was suddenly stopped by Mike.

He shook his head at Lue Shang, then turned to look at Handa: "Quasi-leader, you are right, we have our rules, and the tribe also has its rules. But don't forget, the rules of collective hunting in this tribe , but the old leader made it." At this point, he glanced at Chen Ting who was beside him, and his meaning was very clear. It was Ah Ting's father who made the rule in the first place.If Ah Ting hadn't been injured while helping the group hunt, how could it be Handa's turn to take the position of the next tribal leader.

Being hinted by Mike, Handa looked embarrassed for a while, pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of anger, but Mike turned a blind eye to it, and continued: "Oku and the others have been participating in the collective hunting of the tribe, but they don't know Since when did the results of collective hunting not be the average distribution set by the old leader at that time, but the income according to the merits. Okur and the others worked hard, but because the hunting skills were not as good as others, even the tools for distribution were the best. Poor ones, and the least amount of food they get. It makes them unable to feed their partners and children, and they fend for themselves, so there seems to be nothing wrong with that.”

Mike was always calm when he spoke, and his views were well-founded and reasonable. Even if Handa dismissed it in his heart, he couldn't say anything.

Aside, his father Luke came out.This person used to be the new force of the warriors in the tribe, and because of his strong ability, he was appointed by Ah Ting's father as the elder of the tribe.It wasn't until Ah Ting's father passed away that the old priest dismissed this position on the grounds that he was too old.But in Luke's heart, he always felt that he was better than the indecisive father Ting in terms of ability and behavior, so he also wanted his son to be the leader.

Handa has changed a lot of tribal systems in the past year, most of which are due to the advice and advice of this ruthless old man.

"Ah Ting." He put on the posture of an elder, and looked at Chen Ting proudly, "You are very clear about the rules set by your father. Now that Handa has taken over the affairs of the tribe, you have brought this A few people pulled out a small group to fight against the rules set by your father, how can you make your father's spirit in heaven feel at ease?" He shook his head and sighed, as if he was very sorry.

To be honest, in Chen Ting's heart, he didn't have any feelings for the father who had never masked his face.But from Sanliu's mouth, he knew that he was rescued by this old man and brought up since he was a child, so he naturally had a little admiration in his heart.But now, this old man was being used by others as a tool to blackmail him, and Chen Ting, who was protecting his weaknesses, was furious.

"My father's decision, of course, I will not refute." He said, and he glanced coldly at Handa, "But if someone changes the rules he set without authorization, the people in the tribe will not have enough food and clothing. To be in danger, I can't just sit back and watch."

"What do you mean by that?" Handa shouted angrily.

Chen Ting looked at him and smiled coldly, "What Mike said just now is quite right. The collective hunting of the tribe was originally intended to provide food and clothing for those who lack the ability. But now, it has caused many people to get bored because of this activity. Being hungry and getting injured frequently, is this the rule in the tribe?"

Chen Ting's brows had a majestic look that was not angry and majestic. He gave Han Da a breathless sense of fear when he glanced at him with such condensed eyes. He forgot to refute for a while, and just stayed there I was stunned and speechless.

"Quasi-leader." Oku, who had been daring from the sidelines all this time, watched Ah Ting and the three of them dare to stand up and speak for him, and finally stopped being cowardly, and took two steps forward and said, "We are absent this time. The collective hunting of the tribe is not just to help Ah Ting build a house, but because we have to build a new house." He said, looking at the stone house that had begun to take shape behind him, "We are not capable enough. It was because of the small amount of food that our partner and children couldn’t get enough to eat every time because of us, and we felt very guilty. This time we knew that Ah Ting was going to build a new house, and we also wanted to create a good environment for our partner. So a few people helped together to cover each house. And..." At this point, he glanced at the two brothers beside him, and after getting their nods of approval, he summoned up his courage and said: "And we plan to do the same in the future. We no longer participate in the collective hunting of the tribe, we also want to learn to hunt independently, and we want to use our own skills to give our partners and children a good life."

"Oku." His words completely angered Handa, "You are so capable, you can't hunt good food when hunting in groups, and now you have the courage to plan to hunt alone?"

Oku, who was humiliated by others, looked a bit ugly. He pursed his lips to hold back his anger, and said, "Then don't worry about it, the three of us will take care of our own lives. If one day we don't have the ability to If we can’t hunt for food and starve to death, it’s our own business.”

"Okay, you have the ability." Handa sneered coldly, and said, "When you can't hunt for food, don't come back and think about joining the collective hunting team." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away. Go, before leaving, he gave Chen Ting and the three of them a hard look.

After Luke and his son left, the old priest who had been silent all this time sighed quietly, "Luke's temper has not changed at all these years, even Handa has become like this after following his father."

"Sacrifice." Lue was in a very bad mood, but facing the loving priest, he couldn't put on a straight face, "I really don't understand why Handa was selected to replace Ah Ting in the first place."

Speaking of this, the old priest also felt a little helpless and regretful. He glanced at Chen Ting at the side and said, "You were injured at the beginning, which really brought me a big problem."

He didn't know that Lu Ke's family acted selfishly and extremely, but at that time, he could only look for a capable person to take over from the perspective of the overall situation of the tribe.At the very least, this person must be able to take on the heavy responsibility of the tribe's collective hunting, and there is no doubt that Handa, who has always been the leader of the collective hunting, is the most suitable candidate.

"If possible, I really hope that this tribe can still be led by someone who is capable, broad-minded and far-sighted, so that we can lead our entire tribe to a better future." The old priest sighed again.

"Sacrifice." Zhiyuan, who had been hiding under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree on the other side, came out and came to the old priest to support him, "You know best in your heart that Handa's actions will only make life difficult for many people in the tribe." A harder life."

In fact, the priest didn't know what he said.

He looked up at the wooden frame behind Chen Ting and the others, and said, "Your house still uses wood as the roof?"

"Yes." Chen Ting nodded, "This way the house will be stronger, and then the house will be built with stones and grass mud, so that it can play a good role in sealing and insulating."

"It's a good idea." The old priest praised with a smile, and then asked: "Is this the idea you came up with?"

Before Chen Ting could speak, the Lue Shang at the side took the first step and said, "Sanliu came up with it. His previous tribe built houses like this." As he spoke, he pushed Sanliu, who was following Zhiyuan, to the sacrificial priest In front of him, he praised like showing off.

"Sacrifice Ann." Sanliu saluted very politely.

The old priest looked him up and down and nodded, "I remember you are the female rescued by Ah Ting and the others?"

"Yes." Sanliu nodded, and brought out the words he had discussed with Chen Ting, "I come from an overseas tribe, and many of the living utensils there are more advanced than ours, and I plan to teach those methods to you. People of the tribe."

"Yes, priest, the people at Sanliu can also smelt iron, and the things they make are much harder than stone." After speaking, Lue Shang took out an iron nail and said, "Look, we built this house. The ridge of the roof is fixed with this nail, which is very strong, and we don’t have to worry about the house collapsing in the event of a storm or snowstorm.”

"Oh?" When the priest heard what he said, he took the iron nail and looked at it repeatedly with surprise on his face, then looked at Sanliu again, and said, "Your tribe is really amazing."

Smiling three or six times, she lowered her head with a shallow smile on her lips.

"Ah Ting." Xiyu, who had been obediently standing aside, walked to his partner and looked at him with some concern, "Handa and the others...are they angry?"

During Ah Ting's frustrating days before, Xiyu could only pick up some food by following the tribe's collective hunting team.But it was also because of this that he knew Handa's temper better, and every time he saw him, he would be scolded viciously before driving him back.

In Xiyu's heart, he is really afraid of Handa.

"It's okay." Chen Ting patted his hand reassuringly.

"Ah Ting." The old priest on the side watched their interaction and suddenly said: "I am very pleased that you are finally in a better mood now. In fact, in my heart, there has never been anyone who is the most suitable person to lead this tribe." Changed." After speaking, he shook his head and sighed, then turned and walked towards the tribe.

Chen Ting looked at his leaving back, a thoughtful light flashed in his eyes.
