Chapter 64: Mabe
In an old wooden house, Dan and Erbo sat across from each other.
"I haven't seen you in a few years, what's going on with you?" Dan asked.
"It's getting worse. Erbo shook his head and said, "The last time you came, there were still eight hundred people in the tribe. So far, there are less than 600 people. The loss of more than 200 people in three years is heart-wrenching to think about!"
"How so?" Dan was shocked when he heard this.
Although the Yanbe people went out hunting and there were losses, it was already unbearable to bear a few a year. More than 200 people died in three years, which is really appalling.
"You know, the beasts have always multiplied faster than the desolate people like us, and now they are on a large scale, and they always come out in pairs. I'm not as tall and powerful as you Yanbe people, and I'm infinitely powerful. When you go out hunting, you always have losses. That's not all, after these evil animals tasted the sweetness, they actually followed the trail and came here to attack the crowd. If the tribe is not careful, they will be bitten away by fierce beasts. Last year, there were still a few groups of fierce beasts forcibly attacking the village, if it weren't for my Mabe Erlang to resist it, the consequences would be unimaginable. I don't think it's a way to go on like this, so I want to ask you to come over and discuss, but who knows that the person who went has not been heard from since, and I think it was killed. ”
"When we went up the mountain, we saw a few skeletons in the cave over there, and I don't know if they are from your tribe. ”
"What's going on?" asked Erbo.
"It's nothing, when I came over, I encountered a group of bloodthirsty bats in a cave at the foot of the mountain, so I blocked them in the cave and poisoned them, and finally found a few bones when I cleaned them up. ”
"That's supposed Geng Ma and them. Erbo sighed.
"After all, this place is too close to the ancestral mountain, so you haven't thought about moving away?" Dan said.
"Maybe not before, but in recent years, when I saw that the tribe's sons and daughters had sacrificed so much, I moved this idea, so I wanted to go to you last year to come to discuss, who knew that something happened. Fortunately, you came over, otherwise I would have to go to your tribe if I didn't want to fight my old bones this year. ”
"Let's move then! We just happened to come over and help you. Now that the beasts around our tribe have been killed and are safe, you can just move over there and be neighbors with us, and take care of each other. ”
"That's fine, but it's going to take a while to move out of here, so I'm afraid you won't be able to wait. ”
"As long as it's not too long, we can wait. ”
"That's good. ”
"By the way, how is Ishibe doing now?" Dan asked.
When Erbo heard Dan's question, his expression suddenly darkened, and he sighed, "It's gone." ”
"What?" said Dan, surprised, "didn't they go underground? ”
Shibe is a tribe near Mabe, and there are nearly 1,000 people in total. As the number of fierce beasts in the forest increased, people who lived outside were often dragged away by fierce beasts. The Wu of the stone department asked the tribesmen to move to an underground cave not far from the tribe to live, but they didn't expect something to happen.
"Look at this. Erbo took a broken bone from his bosom and handed it to Dan.
The bones had crystallized, and dark lines were faintly visible on them, and even if they were broken, a nameless coercion could be felt escaping from them.
"Rune True Bone !!" Dan's color changed, "Could it be that the stone department was killed by the desolate beast that cultivated the rune true bone?"
Erbo shook his head.
"What the hell, you say!" said Dan anxiously.
"I don't know what the real situation is, because when I went, all the people in the stone department were dead. However, looking at the situation at the scene, it should be that Shibu was attacked by a group of rat beasts, and finally couldn't resist it, and Wumeng urged this half of the rune true bone that I don't know where it came from. You should know the price it takes to activate the true bone of an incomplete rune. When I went, except for Wumeng, who forcibly urged the runes to be sucked dry into skeletons, there was not a single intact Shibe person in sight, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere. You don't want to see that. ”
Dan listened, and his face was dejected.
As a witch who has obtained all the inheritance of the tribe, he does not know the harm of urging incomplete rune true bones.
In fact, not only is it incomplete, but even if it is a complete rune true bone, it is not an easy task. It's just that I didn't expect the price to be so heavy.
After a long time, Dan asked, "Where are they buried, I want to go and see." ”
Erbo shook his head and said, "No need to go, it has been a few days since I arrived at the stone department, and the bones are already a little rotten and emitting a foul smell. In order to avoid the plague, I had the entrance of the cave where the stone department had entered and exited blocked up, and it was no longer possible to enter. ”
"Alas, I didn't expect a good tribe to say no. ”
"I didn't expect that either. ”
"Forget it, don't talk about it. Since you Mabe are going to move over, then the junior's family affairs will wait for the past. Tonight, I'll let you see the methods of my Yanbu warriors. ”
"It's fine. Erbo nodded.
Gongliang enters Mabe and finds that the people here are different from Yanbe. Like the clothes they wear, most of them are light silk and linen, unlike the Yanbu people, who are all dressed in animal skins. And the things used are also pottery and wine, unlike the stone tools and wood tools used by Yanbe, and even the wine is messy, and it will not improve until he arrives.
Obviously, the two tribes often intermarry, why is there so much difference?
The public was amazed.
When he first came over, he also found that there were fruit trees planted outside Mabu, and there was a piece of land that had been reclaimed to grow things, and it seemed that the civilization of this tribe was higher than that of Shibu. It should have entered the agricultural civilization, but Yanbe is still in the era of hunting civilization.
At night, Abe lights a bonfire, and the flames burn like the enthusiasm of the Asabe people.
In order to welcome the arrival of the Yanbe people, the Mabe people brought out the best food and the most mellow wine in the house to entertain the guests.
A bewitching Mabe girl dressed up, barefoot, holding wine and delicacies shuttled in front of the Yanbe warriors, seeing the Yanbe warriors who had just become adults with blood boiling, their eyes shining, and their saliva flowing.
Gongliang was the exception in this group of warriors who had just come of age, because he didn't come to ask for a kiss, but just to see it, so he didn't have blood boiling and his eyes lit up, and what made his mouth water was only the delicious food on the table.
Although the food made by the people of Abe is not as delicious as the dishes he added to the pickled stream fish as a seasoning, it also has a unique taste.
So, after the feast, he didn't care about anything and buried himself in eating.
"Hey..."
While eating, he suddenly heard someone screaming in his ear, and when he looked up, it was the girl who gave him advice when he entered the tribe.
"Hello. Gongliang greeted him in a friendly manner.
"Hmph," the girl ignored him, and placed a dish in her hand heavily on the table, "yours." Then, gracefully departed.
It is a roasted, golden and fragrant fat pheasant.
Gongliang saw that his appetite was great, and he grabbed it and bit it, and the golden meat oil erupted instantly. "Whoa, whoa", Yuan Roll next to him saw him eating alone, and cried out unpleasantly. Gongliang glared at it, helpless, so he could only tear a chicken leg and give it to it, and then he didn't care about it, and buried his head in eating.
The girl who served the food saw his eating appearance from a distance, and said with disdain: "It's really barbaric." ”
"Isha, what are you still doing there? ”
"Come on, come on!" the girl hurriedly ran over.
