"Just two years ago, some tribes wanted to marry our tribe, and the orcs and females they brought didn't want to leave here. Of course, no one from our tribe wanted to follow, so the tribe was not happy. I regret that I won’t get married. The patriarch also agreed, but he wants to take people away, and those people won’t leave. You say it’s funny, isn’t it funny~”

"Still laughing!? I know this too, but I know better than you. The females left by that tribe had malicious intentions and secretly marked the people of their tribe. As a result, a group of females who went out to collect made the other party The orcs from here have been robbed!"

"No way? Is this really the case?"

"There is such a thing, and I know it too. They didn't expect that the females of our tribe are strong enough, and it happens that the patriarch and the priest are also there, and none of the orcs from the other side can go back."

"What are you talking about? More than four years ago. The Black Bear Tribe asked our tribe to participate in the Full Moon Conference. The patriarch refused, so he led people to gather several tribes and attacked the hunting team led by the patriarch. That's why the patriarch killed them all!"

"What is the Full Moon Conference?"

Zhang Yuming also wanted to ask this question, but another young female took the lead.

"My grandma said, it's a group of several tribes, and each tribe must produce ten unmarried females, ten unmarried orcs, and celebrate on the night of the full moon..."

"Isn't that nice?"

"Wait for me to finish! During this celebration, it is possible to rob marriage. Even if the female and the orc like each other, as long as someone defeats the orc, the female can be snatched away. Moreover, at the full moon meeting, It can be in the form of a beast. It will not be until the sun rises the next day, whoever belongs to this female will be his partner."

"Not only..." another female spoke, and Zhang Yuming remembered that it was a female who seldom talked, "My grandma said, so I have an older brother, but the tribe is holding this full moon meeting with two other tribes. My brother was sent away and never came back. My grandma thought he had found a partner, but then another female who went to the full moon meeting told him that my brother was dead. There was a tribe of green crocodiles at that time, and they were not looking for a partner. Yes, but ten people teamed up to drive out the orcs from other tribes and get those females, and my brother let them kill them directly... That's why my parents took me to escape from the original tribe."

"Fortunately, the patriarch didn't agree." Someone said, and the other females followed suit.

The skills taught by the priests and the patriarchs did allow them to deal with human-shaped orcs, but not necessarily the orcs whose speed, strength, and physical strength have greatly increased after lycanthropy.Especially for large orcs, if a female is unarmed and is approached, she will have no power to resist.

Zhang Yuming's hair stood up all over his body. This is indeed a primitive society, and everyone looks equal.But there's never a shortage of bad guys with privilege.As soon as he heard it, he knew that the full moon meeting of this female past tribe was probably used by some small tribes exclusively for the green crocodile tribe.

"Anyway, the tribes around here are all hostile to our tribe, and none of them have good intentions towards our tribe, so don't leave alone."

"Yes, no order."

"Don't place orders!"

All the females are urging each other and themselves, including Zhang Yuming, especially Zhang Yuming.Now he has no desire to go out to show his masculinity at all. Other females can persist for a while if they encounter trouble. He knows that his ability to resist is similar to that of children in the tribe. , and they were abducted.

Duan Shaobo and Gu Cijiu heard their conversation.It wasn't intentional eavesdropping, but the temporary shed had no sound insulation at all.

But this is something that they discussed with a few little females before they came. This year, many of the little females came for the first time. In fact, there is nothing in Daji that their tribe does not have, but it is novel.Others were afraid of saying a few words, and deceived these little females away. They were not afraid of fighting, but it was these females who were really hurt by then.

——Orcs are not like the villains in modern movies, who have to wait until the hero is approaching before they have a whim to do something to the heroine.

Not for Zhang Yuming, but also for these people, Duan Shaobo will not do nothing.And those two little females were not lying, they were just looking for an opportunity to tell the truth and remind their partners under the plea of ​​their patriarch.

So when it was daytime the next day, the females who were originally vigilant and went out in groups of two or three, now got together even more, in groups of five or six, and some even called orcs.

╮(╯▽╰)╭ Those little orcs, when they didn't see the females, they were more talkative than the other. Now surrounded by a group of females, they dare not speak at all, and become bag carriers.

Zhang Yuming... on the other hand, didn't go out at all, and stayed to help watch the stall.

"Are you scared?" Yalan asked him secretly.

"Well..." Zhang Yuming didn't hold back, and admitted honestly, "I'm weaker than everyone else, so just in case, I'd better stay here. And I don't want anything at all."

I have seen so many commodities in modern times, but there is really nothing to see in this big collection.Because the most common commodities exchanged by various ethnic groups are herbs, meat and fur.The real big ones are all tribe-to-tribe transactions, and the stalls are all individuals, and there are no good things here and there.

"In fact, there are many advantages to staying." Yalan winked at Zhang Yuming mysteriously.

Zhang Yuming didn't know why, but he was indeed curious because of Yalan's performance. Yalan never played tricks.It didn't take long for Zhang Yuming to get the answer.

Two strange orcs came over, pulling an oversized deer. The deer's fur was extremely beautiful, dark purple. The deer carried six heavy baskets.They unloaded a pair of baskets at the door of the Black Leopard Tribe's shed, and Duan Shaobo went over to open a basket.

It was stuffed full of yellow-green pancakes that really didn't look very good-looking.Duan Shaobo took out two pancakes, smelled them, and smiled with satisfaction. He casually threw the two pancakes to the orcs behind him, and went to negotiate business with the strange orcs himself.

When Zhang Yuming had someone stuff a small piece of green pancake in his hand, he happened to see that oversized deer turned into a human being after all the baskets on his body were unloaded.

Zhang Yuming looked back and sniffed the piece of pancake that was given to him. He had already learned not to judge "food" by appearance. It smelled a little...sweet?He stuffed it into his mouth. It was really sweet. The overall feeling was like tea sugar. It was very refreshing. Although there was a lot of residue, it should be grass leaves. It was very soft and matched with the sweet taste. , very chewy.

Later, many other races came over one after another. They exchanged large baskets of dried mushrooms, wild vegetables, and nuts for cloth, clay pots, and meat.

"Uncle Yalan, I understand that pottery pots and cloths can be exchanged in our tribe. Why come to us for meat? The meat of our tribe is more expensive than that of other tribes, right?" Are you not interested in the products here? , how can I say that I went out for a stroll yesterday, and due to occupational diseases, Zhang Yuming still knows the price very well.

There is no unified weight and measure in this world, and only the Black Panther tribe has currency. The transaction of a small amount of goods basically depends on "weighing".It means that each other has seen each other's exchanged items, weighed them in their hands, and exchanged them if they are willing, and then talk about them if they are not.The unit of measurement for bulk transactions is the basket, but the size of the basket varies from tribe to tribe.

Zhang Yuming also looked carefully, the baskets of their tribe are not too big, just average.

"It is more expensive, but our meat can be preserved for a longer period of time, and there is salt in our meat."

Zhang Yuming nodded in that way, he thought it was equivalent to paying protection fees.

"Grass-eating orcs, do they also eat meat?"

"They don't eat it in spring and summer, but eating meat in winter can save them a lot of grass, so they have to buy a lot of meat back."

This is also quite strange, deer eat deer, sheep eat sheep.

"Uncle Yalan, why is our patriarch so smart that he thought of using stones in exchange? And the patriarch said to use stones, so the people in our tribe agreed?"

All tribes of Zhang Yuming have stone coins, but the Black Panther tribe is still special.With so many special things added up, Zhang Yuming felt something was wrong.

"If you didn't exchange stones for anything in the beginning, the stones are a sign."

"What do you mean?"

"The life in the tribe is getting better, and there are more things distributed to everyone every time. Many people have no place to store them at home. Besides, it is better to store them in the caves of the tribe than to store them at home."

I understand this point. Zhang Yuming has seen those natural caves used as warehouses, and the conditions of each cave are different. Some are ventilated and dry, while others are ventilated and shady. The tribe smoked insect-killing herbs in those caves to classify them. Storing food is no worse than manual warehouses.

"So after hunting and gathering, everyone proposed to put things in the tribe first, and whoever wants them will go to ask for them. But it is really hard to remember how much each person has stored in the tribe. So the priest I don’t know where I got a rare small stone, so I took this as a mark for everyone. Everyone thinks this is very convenient, and as time goes by, it becomes more and more useful.”

"So that's how it is..." Sure enough, this is the inevitable product of economic development, and he thought too much.

The two were talking, when there was a sudden commotion outside, Yalan's first reaction was to grab Zhang Yuming and take him to hide, but the shout coming from outside made his movements freeze immediately: "Grandma——! "

The Yalan Zhang Yuming knew had always been a very calm and gentle handsome uncle, with a particularly good temper, and always felt that he would never get angry.This was the first time he saw the handsome uncle's expression change so drastically, his whole face was distorted, he couldn't tell whether he was frightened and excited or something else.

"Uncle Yalan! Come here!" "Youshang has been found!" "Uncle Yalan!"

Someone yelled outside, it was a few young orcs from the tribe, Yalan immediately let go of Zhang Yuming's hand and ran out.Zhang Yuming was clearly following him, but he was still a few steps behind. By the time he rushed out, Uncle Yalan was already hugging a young female, squatting on the ground and crying.

So everyone in the Black Panther Tribe was happy, but after a while, there was chaos outside again.

"Why did you black panthers snatch our female!" "Hand over the female!" "Hoo!"

The new orcs were extremely tyrannical. After coming here, they raised their hands to grab the female of the black panther, and several of them directly turned into beasts. This behavior was not as simple as simply looking for "their" female.

And the animal shapes of these people turned out to be leopards too, but they were all golden-yellow leopards, comparable in size to the leopards of the Black Panther tribe.In human form, they also used oil paint to paint the markings of leopards on their bodies and faces, which looked more brutal and fierce than black panthers.

"Grandma! They snatched me away!" Youshang yelled, but the visitor's eyes turned to him, and he trembled with fright, and plunged his head into Yalan's arms.

"He's my partner. If you want him back from the Black Panther tribe, you can use five females to return it!" The leading leopard roared, and immediately rushed to the female closest to him.

Who knew that the female reacted so quickly, kicking it out, even kicked the leopard staggeringly.The leopard immediately turned red from its neck to the tip of its ears. With a growl, it turned into a leopard in an instant. It was very shameless to use the form of a leopard to rush towards the female again. His fellow clan also did the same thing as him. action.

Then...then a huge snake's tail came over, how did these leopards come here, and how did they go back at a faster speed.

Zhang Yuming finally saw the head of the snake that almost scared him to death again. It always felt bigger than the last time we met.And at this time, the giant python opened its mouth and sprayed out the venom. I don't know how his venom glands grow. The venom sprayed out in a misty form, covering the group of leopards directly. Originally, he wanted to stand up and resist The leopards shook twice, and then all fell to the ground.

"Tie them up and ask their patriarch to exchange them for dried meat." Duan Shaobo gave an order, and all the leopards who came to make trouble were tied up like piglets, and they were placed in a row outside the shed.

"Yalan, you can bring Youshang in, you don't have to worry about anything, we're here." Duan Shaobo turned to comfort Yalan after the troublemakers were done.

"Yes, thank you patriarch." Yalan kept holding Youshang tightly, tears streaming down her face, but there was a smile on her face.

Yalan took Youshang to the hole in the shed—because the big fair was held in the valley, so their sheds were built against the mountain wall on the side of the valley. Because some tribes have occupied a good place for a long time, So I dug a hole on the mountain wall, which is a good place to live for a short time.

Most of the females followed suit, leaving only a few curious ones who were still poking around.Zhang Yuming... He is also very curious.

The patriarch of the Leopard tribe came over in a hurry: "Patriarch Black Panther, the orcs in our tribe are ignorant, we are willing to exchange them with a basket of meat!"

After the patriarch of the Leopard finished speaking, he asked his people to let go of the orcs, but the orcs of the Black Panther tribe kept looking at their patriarch's expression, Duan Shaobo didn't let them go, so they stretched out their arms to stop the patriarch of the Leopard up.

"Minister Black Panther, is there a shortage of meat in the basket?"

"It's not a question of meat or not. Two years... no, at the big meeting three years ago, our tribe asked one by one, who has seen the females of our tribe, what did you say at that time?"

"So it's this matter? I admit that I did hide it from you at the time. But we didn't snatch him. That Youshang ran to our tribe by himself and said that he was willing to be a female of our tribe. That's why we helped He lied to you Black Panther Tribe, and there was no reason to push the female who came to your door, and because of this, we brought him here this time, who knew he would run away? We didn’t know that he was with What do you say, but we didn't treat him badly."

"Lie!" A young panther orc roared.

The patriarch of Huabao looked indifferent, he just looked at Duan Shaobo with a half-smile.

Zhang Yuming, who was on the sidelines, discovered a very interesting phenomenon at this time, that is, among the people present, only young people were filled with righteous indignation, while those who were a little older were thoughtful.

It seems that Uncle Yalan's son, Youshang, has a bad character, that's why everyone half-believes the words of the patriarch Huabao.

"I don't care what Youshang told you at the time, and I don't care what you thought at the time, I just need to know that you were talking to me, Duan Shaobo, the patriarch of the Black Leopard Tribe, about the issue of my Black Leopard Tribe. I lied, do you admit it?" Duan Shaobo's expression did not waver at all.

Zhang Yuming secretly said domineeringly.

The patriarch of the Leopard finally looked a little bad: "...Yes. Minister Black Panther, then, what do you want?"

"Take your people away." Duan Shaobo said, the people of the Leopard Tribe showed a bit of complacency, but Duan Shaobo didn't finish his sentence, "You'd better take the tribe and start fleeing as soon as possible, because ten days Afterwards, the Black Panther Tribe will formally launch a war against you leopards."

"..." Patriarch Huabao's expression turned even worse, and the clansmen behind him who looked like they were looking for trouble just now also turned gray and honest.

"Okay, let's take your people and go, or do we need our help to throw you out?" Duan Shaobo asked, the patriarch of Huabao stood up gritted his teeth, and asked people to untie the captured clansman. Run away in despair.

Duan Shaobo returned to the shed, as if nothing serious happened just now, and continued to talk to Gu Cijiu.

Someone ran to the back very excitedly, Zhang Yuming thought of something, and followed.Just in time to see someone telling Yalan and Youshang what happened just now, Yalan screamed in shock: "What——!"

"Youshang, what's wrong with you?" Excited and guilt-ridden, Yalan was startled, not understanding how her son reacted.

"I... I just think it's unnecessary for the tribe to fight another tribe for a person like me."

"It's not just for you, as long as it's our tribe, our patriarch will do the same to anyone who is bullied."

It seems that Uncle Yalan is a die-hard fan of the patriarch, and he said it so firmly, everyone who heard it cheered: "Yes! Our patriarch is the most protective of the clan!"

At this time, Zhang Yuming was looking at Youshang. Maybe Yalan had always regarded him as his son, and he was more interested in this "brother" who was only known by name.He found that Youshang's expression was not quite right. Although he was cheering with the others now, his smile was very weird.

Normally, he ran away from the leopard tribe, so the leopard should be his enemy, right?Hearing that his clansmen helped him avenge, he naturally gritted his teeth with hatred, just wanting to join the crusaders and tear the enemy to pieces!But the appearance of Youshang is a very common "Oh, everyone is happy, so I am so happy", but because he is too happy, it doesn't match his identity.

For some reason, Zhang Yuming remembered that last night, a female said that "someone made a mark to attract other tribes to attack the females of the Black Panther tribe".

It shouldn't be... I don't know him well, so such a malicious speculation is presumptuous.

In the second half of the day, the tribe didn't let people go out for shopping, but just in case, let them all stay in the cave honestly, and said that the tribe would leave early tomorrow and return to the tribe to prepare for the war.

That night, Zhang Yuming had too many things on his mind, so he couldn't sleep all the time. When there was an abnormal noise outside, he heard it immediately.Zhang Yuming got up and was about to wake up the other females, but the sleeping female next to him was dragged down: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen, just go on sleeping."

"..." Although he was the one who didn't fall asleep, he wasn't the first one to find out that something was wrong. Sure enough, a comfortable modern person can't compare with native primitive people?

As soon as Zhang Yuming lay down, he heard two screams, and he froze immediately. As a "female", Zhang Yuming already knew very well what would happen if the tribe was defeated.But the outside soon became quiet, and after a while, it was still very quiet. Zhang Yuming, who was so nervous that his heart felt a little uncomfortable, fell asleep at some point...

When he was woken up early the next morning, Zhang Yuming's head hurt like hell. He obviously fell asleep, but it was worse than not sleeping all night. He guessed that he might have had a nightmare all night, but he just forgot all about it.

After walking out of the cave where the young females slept together, Zhang Yuming smelled a strong smell of blood.After eating the dried meat distributed collectively by the tribe as quickly as possible, Zhang Yuming found the "means of transportation" allocated when he came, and rode on the back of the shy orc with another female, and walked out of the grass shed. He finally saw the smell of blood origin of.

Outside their shed, corpses were stacked on top of each other, forming a Jingguan!Although it was already a slightly cool autumn, there were still a large number of flies gathering on these corpses, and crows were circling in the sky. It was just because there were so many orcs here that there were no small beasts.
