"Are there any remnants in the mountains, or were there powerful tribes that lived long ago?"

Seeing that Wu was silent, Xia Tuo asked again, the ruins were the only way he could think of at the moment, after all, there was a group of poor people in the entire mountain range, and the conditions on the ground obviously did not allow it, so he could only dig underground, and if he couldn't get the living, he would kill the people.

Under the light of the fire, Wu shook his head lightly, with a wry smile on his face, and Xia Tuo couldn't help but show a touch of disappointment.

There are no living people, and the dead don't know, this is difficult, and it is really not easy to be a patriarch.

"I'm ready to converge on the scattered population of the mountains again. ”

Then, Xia Tuo's voice changed.

"You are the patriarch. ”

Wu's eyelids lifted, uninterested in his words.

"I'm going to learn witchcraft, so let's go. ”

Xia Tuo got up, slandering the old man Wu in his heart, he has been enlightened for so many years, but you have come out of a flower, and you have a lot of beard.

It seems that we are going to find a successor to Wu.

Watching Xia Tuo walk out of the cave, Wu's eyes closed slightly.

Thanks to him, he didn't know what Xia Tuo was thinking, otherwise he would really have to knock Xia Tuo with a cane.

After returning to his cave, Xia Tuo summoned all the elders and the hunting captain.

"Hong, the three hunting teams of the Wubu, one will go out to hunt tomorrow, one will patrol the tribe, and the other will be led by you to converge the scattered tribes displayed on the sand table and incorporate them into my Xia tribe. ”

"Good. ”

glared at Hong, who had just eaten enough and picked his teeth with the thick and thin bones of his fingers, and suddenly asked him to be honest all of a sudden, don't take the patriarch as the boss.

"I'll go. ”

Suddenly, Li shouted, he couldn't help it when he saw that Feng had a mother-in-law during the day, and he went out to gather the scattered department, maybe he could find a mother-in-law.

"Yes. ”

With Xia Tuo's approval, Li Da touched the back of his head with his hand and was stupid, he must find a mother-in-law who is stronger than Feng's boy, so that she can give birth.

With a wave of his hand, everyone dispersed, and the cave fell silent.

The matter of converging the population cannot be stopped, and the same thing of finding the force measuring column cannot be stopped, and now the tribe has set up several elders, and there is a division of labor for the time being.

It is a pity that it will take some time for the wasteland reclaimed by the Ministry of Agriculture to be harvested, and during this time, the tribe needs to go out to collect wild fruits and potatoes in addition to hunting.

Fortunately, there is no hurry in these things, and what the Ministry of Agriculture is doing is to do experiments and see what troubles will be encountered in artificially growing food.

In fact, at the beginning, he also wanted his people to build a stone house and a stone hall, after all, living in a cave was too damp and cramped.

But the conditions do not allow it.

The valley seems to be more than ten acres in size, once the stone house is built, it will be crowded, and the next step is to gather more population, only to wait until a wave of population is collected before making plans.

Today's tribal station seems to be stable, but in fact, it also restricts the development of the tribe, but fortunately, the restriction of the tribe's weakness has not yet appeared.

On the second day, when the golden crow rose from the east, Hong's hunting party had already rushed out of the tribe and began to gather the population according to the scattered parts marked on the sand table.

......

At the foot of Niutou Mountain, the Lu tribe.

A sturdy young man appeared outside the Lu tribe, each carrying a bamboo basket containing animal bones and skins.

The two quickly entered the Lu tribe, and when they came out again, a stone pot appeared in the bamboo basket on the young man's back, and the two walked out of the Lu tribe quickly and disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.

At this moment, another totem warrior with a bamboo basket appeared in the forest.

There was also a totem warrior next to him, and a barren bear fur in the cracked stone realm in the bamboo basket swaggered into the Lu tribe.

......

In the middle of the night, the Xia tribe was lively again, and Hong Heli, who had gone out, returned to the tribe station with more than a hundred people, which was from a scattered part of the tribe in the south of the tribe close to the big river.

For several days on end, Hong went out early and returned late with a hunting team, bringing back dozens of people every day.

Five days later, the population of the tribe reached 713 people, and on the seventh day, after Hong returned with more than 100 people, Xia Tuo ordered a pause in the collection of the population.

The reason why it took seven days was because the people brought back by Hong were all screened out of scattered parts without totem pillars, which also avoided the conflict between the totems that were fused together.

The population of the entire Xia tribe reached eight hundred and forty-four people at once, and from one hundred and eighty-six to eight hundred and forty-four, he became a big fat man in one bite.

More than 800 people have relieved the pressure of the tribe's lack of youth and strength, and it has also brought new pressure, and nearly 110 old people with decay and blood and qi have accounted for nearly half of the tribe's population.

......

"Patriarch, these days, we have exchanged a total of twenty-seven pounds of salt from the Lu tribe in different capacities. ”

The Great Elder let out a sigh, his brows furrowed slightly, and continued, "It is estimated that it has attracted the attention of the Lu tribe. ”

As a tribe that controls the salt of various tribes in the surrounding dozens or hundreds of mountain ranges, Xia Tuo did not dare to confront it head-on, so he could only use this method of ant moving to exchange for salt little by little, even if the Lu tribe had very black hands and mixed salt in the sand.

This is not the most important thing, the important thing is that the Lu tribe has a lot of salt, large and small, very arbitrary.

"Patriarch, the valley where the Lu tribe is located is very well guarded, and there are people guarding the mountains around it. ”

Lu continued the words of the Great Elder and said, he has been wandering around the periphery of the Lu tribe in the past few days, but unfortunately the Lu tribe is very well defended.

"It is not possible to determine whether the salt is produced in the valley where the Lu tribe is located. ”

Hearing this, Xia Tuo nodded, the Lu tribe is the most powerful tribe he knows so far, of course, he wants to know that other tribes don't have that condition at the moment.

So he can only smash the Lu tribe to the death.

"By the way, Patriarch, I have been wandering outside the Lu tribe in the past few days, and I have found a mysterious person who has entered and exited the Lu tribe. ”

The deer groaned softly, with a hint of thought in his eyes, and then said: "This person doesn't look like he went to change salt, he is wearing armor, carrying a bow and crossbow, and there is a long knife on his back, and the animal skin can't hide the cold light flashing on the back of the knife. ”

"Ironware. ”

Hearing this, Xia Tuo was shocked, for so many days, not to mention iron tools, he had never even seen an iron slag, if it was an iron tool, it would be a little terrifying.

His side is still a stone tool, and he has entered the Iron Age, which is already a qualitative leap.

After a few breaths, suppressing the surprise in his heart, he motioned for the deer to continue.

"These two people are very fierce, they broke into the Lu tribe directly, and when they came out, they were sent by the patriarch of the Lu tribe, and the Lu tribe people followed a few people, each carrying a bamboo basket. ”

"I carefully followed them over four mountains, and then I didn't dare to catch up. ”

After pondering for a moment, Xia Tuo waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this today, I have already discussed with Wu Wu, and I will sacrifice the totem in three days!"

Sacrificial totem!

Hearing this, everyone in the entire cave was shocked, and now there are nearly thirty people in the cave, except for the totem warriors who were originally promoted in the tribe, a total of five scattered tribes have been collected these days.

Taking the original bamboo tribe as an example, there are two totem warriors, Qian and Hong, these people became totem warriors before the beast tide changed a few years ago, and the totem pillar was shattered under the impact of the beast tide, which also means that their totem warrior road has a bleak future.

This is also the reason why Xia Tuo dared to collect so much at once.

After these scattered tribes were included in the Xia tribe, they were first fed and dressed, and then the sacrificial totem was to make everyone completely return to their hearts.

At present, among all the people in the tribe, the elderly account for almost half of them, more than 110 people, 53 dolls under the age of 10, and 78 teenagers.

There are 213 young men and women over 20 years old and under 40 years old, and the rest are middle-aged people around 50 years old, who are also the main body of the entire tribe population.

There is no doubt that this part of the clan has almost no potential at all, and there is no way to do it, the scattered tribe has no resources and no totems, and it is really fortunate to survive.

Fortunately, the tribe will not only need warriors in the future, but also manpower will be needed for farming, building armor, making salt, and burning pottery, but some things are not yet in time.

"Hong, you lead the hunting party out hunting, and in three days I need enough prey to sacrifice the great totem. ”

"Yes. ”

A flash of fire flashed in Hong's eyes, and he hurriedly shouted.

On the second day, Hong took all the hunting teams to the depths of the mountain forest, and Xia Tuo also walked out of the valley with his hands behind his back.

In a corner, he also saw a small patch of green bamboo, about a few dozen trees, transplanted from the original bamboo tribe.

Looking at the wasteland in front of him, Xia Tuo had an urge to plant food in his bones, and he didn't panic when he had food in his hands.

The best place to grow food is naturally the plain, but unfortunately in the mountains, there are few crops that can satisfy the stomach, so I can only let the Ministry of Agriculture try slowly.

He didn't know that he could travel to this world, and everything needed to be tried little by little.

Now I already have an idea in my heart, when the tribe is integrated and has the ability to hold the tribe, the tribe must relocate, go to a place where it can be used, cast a city and farm.

Approaching the totem sacrifice, the witch who had been hiding in the cave also came out, and the tribal valley looked a little messy, but this is nothing, and the days are gradually getting better, aren't they?

After walking around the tribe, Wu found Xia Tuo.

"There are many clansmen, and a big sacrifice is needed. ”

"What's the Great Sacrifice?"

"Blood sacrifice. ”

Wu looked at the messy valley, because of the increase in population, dozens of caves were dug in the valley again, and even then it still seemed a little crowded and chaotic.

"Take sacrifice as a sacrifice, take blood as a guide, communicate totems, and gather people's hearts. ”

"Okay, it's all arranged by Wu. ”

Xia Tuo agreed, and the spirit of the totem needed to gather more people's 'willingness' in order to recover again.

Blood sacrifice is blood sacrifice, after all, these people are scattered in the mountains and wilderness, and the awe of totems in their hearts may have been a little dim in these years.

What he needs is a tribe that works together, so that he can be like an arm, where to fight, and concentrate on development.
