Farming Animals

100

With noodles and vegetable balls as the main food, served with grilled animal meat, pickled vegetables, and a small bowl of thick broth, this luxurious lunch made Tupang unable to swallow. Swallowing his saliva, even though there were all kinds of thoughts in his heart, at this moment, he still couldn't help but be attracted by the meal in front of him.

In addition to the exquisite and rich food, the tools for eating are also very novel. They are actually two smooth wooden sticks with sharpened ends. Tu Pang looked up and saw that the gray feather witch Zhu easily used the two "sticks" to split the food into pieces. Putting the animal meat into the bowl, the posture is very elegant, and he can't help but feel a little eager to try it. Unfortunately, this tool is not as easy to use as he imagined. After several failed attempts, Tupang finally grabbed the food with his hands helplessly. , Eating roughly.

The meat is grilled just right, the pickles that accompany the meal are refreshing and delicious, the main food is delicate and soft and easy to chew, and the broth is even more delicious. Compared with this meal, all the delicacies that impressed him in the past have become dull , Tupang tried his best to restrain his eating speed, so that he didn't swallow all the delivered meals into his mouth recklessly.

"What do you eat on weekdays?" Wu Jiu couldn't help asking with a smile seeing Tu Pang's delicious food.

The two ate against the table, and when they talked again, there was no sense of tension at the beginning.

"It's just coarse grains and animal meat. It's good enough to fill your stomach. How dare you ask for more." Tu Pang said bitterly when he heard this, and he never forgot how pitiful he was. However, seeing the delicacies on the table, Thinking back to the rough food in the tribe, Tupang complained, but it was really sincere.

"If I remember correctly, you just said that there are roughly a thousand members in your department, right?" Wu Jiu casually brought up the topic as if chatting, thinking while talking, as if recalling what Tu Pang said just now The words are average.

"Exactly." Tu Pang replied with a smile: "In this area, our department has the fewest personnel and the weakest strength. Tu's lineage is born with low soul power and poor aptitude. It’s not easy to survive in one place.”

"In that case, why not move to another county? Even if you go back to Muyun, I'm afraid it will be much better than now. After all, there is a county seated there, and Hejun is much more peaceful. Besides, time has passed It's been so long, and the hatred of the previous generation has dissipated with the wind, even if it's not easy to survive over there, it's safe at least." Wu Jiu asked seriously, as if she was really curious.

"My department has been operating here for more than a hundred years. Even if the survival is not easy, there is no shortage of food and clothing. The other county government does not know what the regulations are. If the situation is worse, it will be ashamed of all the clansmen." First he was stunned, and then he said in a vague way.

At the beginning, when she said that her life was the hardest, she sincerely wanted to persuade him to move out, but it was this resolute reluctance look again, Wu Jiu gave him a playful look, and felt more and more tricky in it.However, he didn't show it on his face, and when he spoke, he still looked calm and unhurried.

"The patriarch has worked so hard for the survival of the tribe, it's really hard work." He said with compliments.

"Where is it, it's just for survival." Tu Pang waved his hands again and again, as if he was giving a sigh of relief for Wu Jiu not continuing the topic just now.

Seeing this, Wu Jiu didn't say anything, and continued: "Speaking of which, as a tribal witch, I am also in charge of the entry and exit of money and food in the clan, ensuring that the clan's daily food and clothing are well-fed. I just heard what your lord said, and I have always had a question. Sir, please explain to me." He didn't care whether Tupang agreed or not, and said directly: "Just like what your lord said just now, there are thousands of people in your tribe, and by hunting in the hunting area on weekdays, you can make the whole tribe It's really amazing to have no worries about food and clothing." Wu Jiu's tone was slightly picky, and she looked really surprised, which made Tupang's heart skip a beat.

But Wu Jiu said: "To be honest, in the past few days, our department has gone through the entire hunting area by hunting around. The surrounding prey communities are all used as survival materials and counted. , there are no more than a dozen kinds of prey that can be hunted. There are also rough estimates of the distribution area and the number of herds of each kind of herd. The central area of ​​this herd is only three or five places, he said while dipping his fingers. Qing Shui tapped the map lightly on the ground. Unlike Tu Pang's rough sketch, he drew very finely. The edges of the plain and the distribution of each population are all clearly displayed on the map, as if the plain The area map of a place was in his mind, Tu Pang became more and more astonished the more he looked at it, and it took him a while to say dryly: "Your Excellency really has a heart. "

Wu Jiu waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "Since our department chooses to stay here, as a clan of Wuzhu, I naturally have to grasp all the information around me, especially the prey in this hunting area, which is a major issue related to the survival of the clan. , is naturally the most important thing, I collected all these information, and compared the daily food intake of my family, and then found that if it is normal hunting, it is limited to the whole territory, and all soldiers are used to hunt food every day. The harvest is only enough for a family to eat for three days at most. If you want to feed everyone, you need to add other food as a supplement, and the population of our department is only more than twice that of yours. If you want to reduce the hunting area, One day's hunting income is not enough for the whole family to eat, and this is where I am strange. As you said, the original hunting area of ​​the Tu clan is the smallest among the four clans, and there is no large herd of animals Distribution, on weekdays, how to ensure that the whole family has no worries about food and clothing? Moreover, there are only three seasons in this wasteland where hunting is possible. Animal meat is the staple food, and the first three extremes have to save enough food for the whole winter, how did you do it, my lord?"

After Wu Jiu finished speaking, she couldn't help but stare at Tu Pang in front of her, who was quietly waiting for his reply.

Tu Pang, who was sitting on the opposite side, was dumbfounded.Apparently, Wu Jiu didn't expect that Wu Jiu would discover the flaws in his words from such a tricky angle.

In the conversation just now, he was vague about all tribal matters, and there would be no problem at first hearing, but let Wu Jiu use detailed maps and figures to list them one by one, and he can immediately find the absurdity in it, According to what is said next to the picture, his tribe of a thousand people may have starved to death at the beginning of the migration, how could he, as one of the four tribes, survive for so long in a stable manner!

"I don't know, and I haven't calculated carefully on weekdays." Tubian's eyes rolled sharply, and he prevaricated indiscriminately. Because he was too anxious, cold sweat kept slipping from his temples, and the relaxed mood just now disappeared.

Wu Jiu looked at him leisurely. Hearing this, she snorted and was about to speak when she heard a knock on the door. Afterwards, someone pushed the door and entered. ear old man.

But within a meal, Rong Er actually went back and forth, and saw that he still had his usual smile, went straight to Wu Jiu's side, leaned over to his ear, and whispered something in a low voice.

The young man with a calm face raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing the words, and then he laughed a little unpredictable,

This smile made the sitting next to the picture even more uncomfortable. He peeked at the expressions of the two of them, scratching his heart to know what the two of them said, but soon, Wu Jiu gave him the answer.

"Rong Er told me that this high-class green feather was actually sent by Master She Li of the Poison Fang tribe, right?" Wu Jiu asked first.

"Exactly." I shouldn't have lied to my lord, the picture side knew early in the morning that this matter was going to be revealed, so he simply made a mistake.

"So, you also know that Snake Li has a close relationship with the Lengshan County Mansion, and specially arranged for this high-ranking jailer to come to our department with the intention of bewitching my clan chief?" Wu Jiu said coldly.

"I don't know! I really don't know about this. I brought this Biyu here just to please the patriarch. I have absolutely no other intentions. The world can learn from it, and the gods can learn from it!" to prove his innocence,

But Wu Jiu didn't give him a chance to prove himself. Hearing the words, his complexion sank, and he snorted coldly, "I don't know, I don't know, my lord has pushed it all out, but you said those words just now." As you said, this person was also brought here by you yourself, how can you make me believe it?"

"I really don't know about Biyu." Tubian was cornered, quite speechless.

Wu Jiu looked at the shivering picture, sighed softly, and said as if she was being kind: "Well, about the survival of the tribe and the intention of Biyu's coming this time, you always have to pay attention to these two things." Tell me the same thing in detail, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to reconsider how much sincerity you have come here this time." His tone was unquestionable, and he finally sat down on the ground paralyzed by his momentum.
