Chapter 32: The Origin of the Fugitives

Elder Zhihuo told the old man of the foreign tribe that he had promised them to become vassals of the Xuanhu tribe.

www.biquge.info The young man who was crying after being knocked down by Yi wanted to say something, and several foreigners around him immediately reached out to cover his mouth and prevent him from opening his mouth again.

Seeing the performance of those foreigners, Elder Zhihuo and Yi looked at each other, shook their heads, and finally didn't say anything.

Elder Zhihuo and Yi led these vassals of the Xuanhu tribe into the Xuangui Valley, but left Hurricane and a dozen clansmen led by him at the mouth of the valley, and asked him to explore the surroundings.

Along the wide dirt road built in the valley, Elder Zhihuo walked at the front, Yi and Yi followed behind him.

The old foreigner dragged the young man's arm and walked a little further back next to Elder Zhihuo.

Everyone came to the cave where the Xuanhu tribe was resting.

I saw that most of the people of the Xuanhu tribe were in the open space at the entrance of the cave and did not go to work.

Elder Zhihuo was a little unhappy, and beckoned these clansmen to: "Why stay here, don't work, you won't have anything to eat if you don't work." ”

As soon as the clansmen of the Xuanhu tribe heard the elder's training, they scattered and went to do their own work.

Elder Zhihuo turned his head to look at the old man and young man who were following him, and asked, "What are your names?" What tribe was it from? How did it come to such a miserable state? I see that the two of you are also the leaders of your original tribe, so you will first lead your people to build a few places to live in the open space next to this cave with branches and bamboo poles. In a moment I will ask the women of the tribe to bring you something to eat. Wait until the evening when you two come back to the cave and talk to me about you. ”

"Thank you, Elder, as soon as we have arranged for the clansmen, we will go to see you, and we will definitely explain to you all the affairs of our original clan."

Time flies.

The sun had set, and the people of the Xuanhu tribe had finished their day's work and returned to the cave.

Of course, before entering the cave, all people will intentionally or unintentionally glance at the several shacks built with branches and bamboo poles next to the cave.

At the same time, look at the original foreigners who are resting in the shacks, and the current vassals of the Xuanhu tribe.

Hurricane and his people returned to the cave after the sun had completely set.

As soon as he saw Elder Zhihuo, he said, "Elder, the outside of the valley is very clean, I led those guys around the valley for a long time, and there was nothing else to discover. ”

"Well, it's good, Hurricane, you're lucky, go get something to eat and rest early."

"Yes, Elder."

Soon, the people of the Xuanhu tribe finished their dinner.

Elder Zhihuo called Shang Yi and Qi, and of course Wu Xuan, came to the corner of the cave where several people usually discussed things.

Elder Zhihuo said to Yi, "I'm waiting here with Qi, you go and those two people outside call in." ”

"Yes, Elder."

Soon, Yi led the two foreigners to Elder Zhihuo.

Elder Zhihuo looked at the two people and said, "Let me say first, our tribe is called the 'Xuanhu Tribe', the valley where our tribe is located is called the Xuangui Valley, and the mountain behind the Xuangui Valley is called the Turtle Spirit Mountain. And my name is Zhihuo, and I am an elder in the tribe. ”

Another finger Yi said to the two people: "This is 'Yi', the leader of the Xuanhu tribe. ”

"This is my grandson, and we all call him 'Qi' the smartest man in our tribe. Listen to him and the leader of Yi while I am away. ”

"Alright, now it's time for you two to tell us about you."

The old man looked at the young man who was looking around as soon as he entered the cave, shook his head, and said, "Let me tell you." Our original tribe was called the Fengping tribe, and after about seven or eight days of walking south from you, you will enter a meadow with a very flat land and a variety of grasses and plants. After a day's walk to the southeast, you will see a small hill with several low hills. Our original tribe was in the middle of that little hill. As for me, I used to be the elder of the Fengping tribe, and I was the youngest elder, and other clansmen called me Elder Fengzhi. And this man is the third son of the great leader of our Fengping tribe. He is also the most energetic among the young people of our Fengping tribe, and he is also the fastest runner. The people of our tribe call him 'Swift Wind'. ”

"Then how many people are there in your Fengping tribe? How big of a hunting ground can you control? ”

Yi listened to Elder Fengzhi's introduction and asked.

Elder Fengzhi said, "The original Fengping tribe had more than 1,000 clansmen, and they controlled the surrounding land two days away as the tribe's hunting ground. If it weren't for the lack of salt production in the tribe, our tribesmen would have been more and the tribe would have been bigger, and maybe we wouldn't be as miserable as we are now. ”

Xun Feng next to him interjected after listening to what Elder Feng Zhi said, and said, "Hmph, even if we have three thousand more people, it's useless, and we still can't escape the experience of being scattered. At most, there are more people alive than now, but what's the use? All the food was gone, the salt was gone, even the land was gone, and only the last bit of plant seed was taken away. We have also become vassals of other tribes, and we still think about the use of the strength of the tribe in the past! ”

"Scattered? Who broke up your Fengping tribe? Is it a tribal war? Is your enemy great? ”

Elder Zhihuo asked what Wu Xuan wanted to ask but hadn't asked Qi to ask yet.

"There are no other big tribes around our Fengping tribe, and we never bully the surrounding small tribes, so it wasn't the tribal war that broke up our Fengping tribe. However, some time ago, there was a very powerful enemy around our tribe, and after a few fights, the tribe was broken up by that enemy, and most of the people died. ”

Elder Fengzhi replied to Elder Zhihuo's question.

"Who is the enemy?"

As soon as Yi Yi asked about the enemy, Xun Feng immediately picked up and said, "The enemy is a group of hardhorned beasts, probably a hundred of them. Later, I fought with our tribe a few times, and there were probably more than 30 of them left. ”

"Hardhorns? Isn't that a big animal that eats grass and eats plants? How can you fight with your tribe? I'm saying that more than 100 hardhorns can't beat a large tribe of more than 1,000 people like yours. ”

Elder Zhihuo heard about the hardhorn and asked a few questions.

"It's not the seeds of the plant that were given to you that are to blame. Probably in the last hot and cold season, one of our people in the Fengping tribe discovered that the seeds of this plant were a very good food, and reported it to the clan leader. The leader of the clan attached great importance to this plant, and asked the tribesmen to excavate and level a large area of land around the tribe, and planted the plant in a large area during the last hot and cold season. More than 30 days ago, the plant had grown and matured, attracting a large number of birds and beasts. Those small birds and beasts are very easy to deal with, just have more people, but what they didn't expect was to attract a group of hardhorned beasts. Originally, there was a group of more than 100 hardhorned beasts, and our tribe could kill them at a certain price, but who knew that the leader of that group of hardhorned beasts was actually a spirit beast, which broke up our tribe alive and killed most of the tribesmen. ”

Elder Feng Zhi said something related to a plant that Wu Xuan called Wild Wheat.

"Then how did you get to our Turtle Valley?"

Yi asked a small question.

"After our tribe was broken up by the group of hardhorned beasts led by the spirit beasts, less than a hundred people gathered in this direction. Those of us who had fled had come together to discuss it and decided to continue in this direction. Because when I was younger, probably more than twenty years ago, I used to explore the surrounding area of this valley and knew that there was a decent valley that could be used as a new station for the tribe. But before I got close to this, I noticed that there was a lot of smoke in the valley a few days ago, as if something was on fire. I knew there were other tribes that occupied the valley. Originally, I and the other clansmen were going to find another place to be stationed, but Swift Wind was not reconciled, so he wanted to force your tribe out of the valley, who knew that your leader Yi was so powerful, and easily defeated Swift Wind. We have no choice, the last hope of the tribe's revival has been lost to you, and we are looking for other stations, but even if we find a good one, the tribe will die. I, the elder, have no choice but to surrender to your tribe and survive as a vassal of your tribe. ”

Elder Feng Zhi said a lot of words at once, and his mood seemed very low.

And Elder Zhihuo and Yi didn't ask Elder Fengzhi how there were nearly 100 clansmen when he left the Fengping tribe, and how there were only more than 40 people in the valley, because they all knew what kind of heavy price the clansmen led by Elder Fengzhi and Xun Feng had paid in the nearly ten days of travel.

Elder Zhihuo and the others were silent, each thinking about their own business.

After a while, Elder Zhihuo spoke: "Since your Fengping tribe has been dispersed, you have also left the ancestral land of that tribe and become a vassal of our Xuanhu tribe. In the future, you will have two choices, one is to follow the people of our Xuanhu tribe to work obediently, and after a while, my people will recognize you, and you can integrate into our Xuanhu tribe. In the future, you will have nothing to do with the Fengping tribe. The other is that you still retain the name of the Fengping Tribe, but when you recover your breath, you can leave this Xuangui Valley as an ally of our Xuanhu tribe and find another station. And you will have to work hard while you are vassals of our tribe. Of course, you can also disaccept these two articles, but in that case you must immediately leave the Turtle Valley of our Xuanhu tribe. ”

"Now, you two can discuss it and make a good decision."

Elder Feng Zhi and Xun Feng looked at each other for a while, and Elder Feng Zhi spoke: "The Fengping tribe has dispersed, why do we still keep this name, we still want to be a vassal of the Xuanhu tribe." I just want to avenge the Fengping tribe when the Xuanhu tribe has the ability to deal with that spirit beast. ”

Yi listened to Elder Feng Zhi's words and said, "Yes, I can promise you now, sooner or later, I will help you avenge one day." ”

"Then thank you, Leader Yi, I will take the others to do a good job."
