When the thief's words fell, everyone nodded, and it seemed that everyone had no complaints about the thief's arrangement.

"By the way, Patriarch, I have something to tell you. Ah Zheng said suddenly.

The thief turned to look at him: "Say." ”

I saw Ah Zai frowning and saying with a sad face: "We have been collecting trees for more than 20 days, and there are not many prey in the tribe. ”

Ji Thief looked at him: "How many more?"

Ah Zheng's lips moved: "One, more than a hundred, at most, the Lin tribe will send the trees over in the next two days, and there will be no more." ”

All the people in charge looked up at the thief.

Ji Thief pinched his chin and asked, "How many days has it been since the Lin tribe exchanged trees for prey with us?"

Usma said, "Twenty-two days. ”

"How much prey do they take from us on average? I'm talking about each tribe a day. Ji Thief said.

"That's about ten prey. ”

Ji Thief nodded: "Ten prey, do you think that their tribe can eat so much in one day?"

Ah Liang, who was in charge of hunting, said directly: "Definitely not, even if you bring those clansmen stationed in the south of the Eastern Plain, they can't eat ten prey a day, at most, that's about four or five." ”

Ji Thief nodded, he still agreed with this.

You must know that a prey is dozens of catties or hundreds of catties of meat alone, and four or five heads are four or five hundred catties.

There are more than 100 clansmen, and no one has four or five catties of meat a day, so it's enough.

"They take ten prey from us every day, and they eat only half of them, so what about the rest?" asked the thief.

Several other people in charge looked at them blankly: "Of course the others are kept, otherwise." ”

Ji Thief said: "They kept it, didn't they keep it for us?"

Everyone: "???"

The thief looked at Usma and asked, "How's the preparation?"

Usma said with a smile: "Don't worry, patriarch, since you said it, I have divided ten members of the engineering department to do it, although everyone is not as powerful as you, but on average, each person can make five per day, these twenty days, not to mention much, almost five hundred pairs have been prepared." In fact, the main thing is to waste time by throwing spears, otherwise you can make a thousand pairs of spear throwers alone. ”

After Usma finished speaking, everyone was stunned and turned their heads to look at the thief.

"Patriarch, what are you doing with so many spear throwers? Do you want everyone to use them?" asked Ah Liang.

Ah Liang asked these questions that everyone wanted to ask.

After all, preparing so many spear throwers for no reason is something that everyone really can't figure out.

Ji Thief smiled happily: "When Patriarch Lin and them come tomorrow, everyone will know what's going on, today, I'll sell it first, okay, don't talk nonsense, let's rest first." ”

After Ji Thief finished speaking, everyone stood up and left.

Including the witch who was followed by the thief by default, the fat elder who woke up after being seriously injured, and Mu Lian, who had nothing to do all day.

It's just that when everyone left, Ji Thief saw that Ah Zheng was walking in the same direction as Mulian.

At that time, he was stunned, and Ji Thief was a little surprised: "Isn't Ah Zai the most difficult to deal with Mulian, and he usually fights when he meets?"

Ah Liang said: "I seem to remember that Ah Zheng has not been on the top of Mulian in the past two days. ”

Ji Thief thought for a while and said, "Tushan, call Ah Zheng over, I have something to say to him." ”

Tushan said yes and turned his head.

After more than ten minutes of hard work, Ah Zai came back with a yawn, and asked Ji Thief with a tired face: "What's the matter, patriarch?

"Ah Zheng, what's the matter with Mulian?" asked Ji Thief.

Ah Zai was stunned when he heard this: "What's going on?"

Ji Thief said: "Don't pretend to be confused with me, I think my relationship with Mulian has been a lot better recently." ”

Ah Zai looked at Ah Liang, who had not left yet, and asked Ji Thief suspiciously, "Ah Liang told me?"

"It doesn't matter who told me, what's going on, don't I remember that I was very fond of Mu Lian before?" asked Ji Thief.

Ah Zai touched his nose a little embarrassed, sat down opposite Ji Thief, coughed and said: "It's such a patriarch, Mulian feels that she is useless in the tribe, so she wants to ask me and the patriarch what kind of work to arrange for her." ”

Ji Thief stared at Ah Zheng faintly: "Didn't lie to me?"

Ah Zai raised his hand: "Absolutely not!"

Ji Thief took a deep breath: "It's okay if you don't have it, do you understand that you are far away from Mulian in the future? ”

Ah Zai nodded: "Can I go back to rest the patriarch?"

"Let's go back. ”

After Ji Thief said this, Ah Zai shrugged his shoulders, and after getting up, he turned around and left.

Ji Thief thought for a while: "Ah Liang, go back and rest, I have to get up early tomorrow to be busy." ”

Ah Liang nodded in agreement and turned away.

"Tsuchiyama, hunting, no, I should say call those children he trained to come over smartly. ”

Tsuchiyama didn't understand what Ji Thief meant: "What's the matter, patriarch?"

Ji Thief stood up and said, "I think something is wrong, why did Ah Zai and Mu Lian ease their relationship?"

Tushan said: "I'll go now." ”

A moment later, Tushan returned with a child, and the thief whispered a few words in his ear, and the child nodded and turned away.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the child returned early, touched the side of the thief and said softly: "Patriarch, Lord Azai has rested since he went back yesterday, and Mulian has looked for him, but he has been scolded by Lord Azai." ”

Ji Thief tilted his head and thought about it, and said in his heart that he was really too nervous and misunderstood Ah Zheng.

"Well, I see, don't say anything about this yesterday, rotten in your own stomach, understand?" said the thief.

The boy nodded: "Understood, patriarch." ”

After waiting for the child to leave, the thief lowered his head and thought to himself, Ah Zheng is a talent he fancies, and there must be no mistakes.

However, Mulian, a woman, is really fat, and she dared to get close to Ah Zai and wanted Ah Zai to persuade herself to use her Mulian.

Hmph, there is a case in the past, Ji Thief is not a fool, how can he use her.

In the future, you should restrain Ah Zheng well, let him stay away from the woman Mulian, this guy is not a good bird.

If it weren't for the reason why he was busy building the house recently, what to say, the thief would have thought of dismantling the time bomb of Mulian first, and it would be too dangerous to stay in the tribe.

Songtsan just believed in her too much, and did such a beast-level thing as killing his father.

Having made up his mind, the thief nodded vigorously.

The new day is busy, and the foundation of the house has been laid, and from today, it is considered to be the beginning of construction.

In front of a laid foundation, all the tribesmen brought the timber and placed it on the crossbar made of wooden stakes.

Each tree with a base is carved into a zigzag shape, and the two tic-tac-toe shapes are interlocked up and down, which is just right.

Compared with laying a foundation, it is easier to install the bottom of the house, erect walls or something.

One day after the evening, except for the top of the house that was not installed, basically, a house was made.

Satisfied, looking at the house without a roof, doors, or windows, the thief nodded incessantly.

Then, he led everyone into the house, and when he stepped on the middle of the flat house, the thief raised his head, looked at the twilight sky, and said to the person in charge on the left and right: "Tomorrow, first install the roof of the house, so that it can shelter from the wind and rain, and now there is not even a roof, in case of rain, everyone will have to get wet." ”

Usma, who was in charge of the construction of the house, nodded: "Understood, patriarch. ”

The thief followed, "Tomorrow, Usma will divide a group of people and build doors, windows, tables and beds with me. In addition, the sumac sap we collected before can be prepared, and when the roof is ready, we will start to paint, by the way, don't forget to use the leaves of the broad-leaved tree to stick to the top of the house, and cooperate with the sumac sap to do waterproofing work. ”

Usma nodded, indicating that she had written it down.

Ji Thief rubbed the ground with his foot, which looked a little uneven because of the arrangement of trees, and said, "Like here, you can also use clay to smooth out the gaps." Now there is no flooring, so the house looks a little rough, and when our copper is ready, we can start to make more sophisticated planks, and when the time comes, everyone can live in a better environment. ”
