Two howling sounds like wolves and barking like dogs sounded, and immediately after that, I saw two wolves as big as calves, one black and one white, rushing around the courtyard gate. The doors of several other rooms also opened, and a group of armed men rushed out from inside.

Ding Qi couldn't help but sigh: It's still an animal clever! People don't react until after the animals, it's still too slow.

Ding Qi was tightly wrapped, but the two wolves, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, could still recognize him, and Ding Qi was very pleased.

Seeing a tall horse standing next to Ding Qi, the little black and white were running for a moment, and then ran over again, and the two wolves wagged their tails and threw Ding Qi to the ground, rolling happily on the snow, and even the two of them stuck out their tongues and licked his face, and they were so excited that they couldn't be more excited.

Xiao Erhei and the gray horse were still a little timid when they saw the two wolves running in front of them, but when they saw their master fighting with the two wolves, they instantly understood that this was their own person. Moving two steps forward, he stretched out his hooves and touched Xiao Hei, and snorted, meaning to say:

"Hey, hello brother, look at this complexion, we are brothers!"

But it was greeted by a roar from Xiao Hei:

"Who is a brother with you, Xiaobai next to you is my own brother, you are a newcomer, you must know the rules!"

Xiao Erhei touched his nose, but he didn't care, and said that sooner or later he would be brothers.

The people in the courtyard probed their brains inside the door, and when they saw that Xiao Hei and Bai were so close to a stranger, they instantly understood that it was the leader Ding Qi who had returned.

He didn't want to throw his weapon aside, and hurriedly rushed out of the door to welcome Ding Qi home. Hearing the shouts of the people, the buck and the deer also walked out of the house quickly, asked about the situation, and knew that it was Ding Qi who came back, and quickly rushed to the door to greet Ding Qi and Ben them.

The greeting scene was very lively, although it was cold and the snow under his feet was trampled into mud, but everyone's enthusiasm was like fire, as if Ding Qi had been away for a year.

Seeing that Ding Qi brought back two tall horses, tamed and obedient, all the tribe members called Ding Qi a god alive, and Ding Qi couldn't stand it a little when he slapped it down. Not to mention that he also brought back many people to join the tribe, not only increasing the population and labor, but also doubling the tribe's guardian power, from a small tribe to a medium-sized tribe. Although it is only the smallest population base among medium-sized tribes and there are fewer women, it has also gotten rid of the shackles of small tribe development, and there is no need to worry too much about the tribe not being able to grow.

It is no stranger to run back, and directly find the red deer to arrange the accommodation of the new tribe members, and the deer will explain the rules of the tribe to them, and the buck will direct the flowers, grass and plum to cook and grill fish and barbecue, and stew fish and stew meat is even more. After surviving, the newcomers felt the enthusiasm and warmth of the tribe, and once again felt that meeting Ding Qi was the greatest opportunity in their destiny.

After everyone had been settled, Tinch summoned the stag, the deer, the Ben, the flower, the red deer, and the barn to the cabin.

"During the time I was away, the tribe was developing well, houses and walls were built, and I saw that there was a lot of food in stock, especially fish. Others such as wood and charcoal are also prepared a lot, and there is also a lot of forage, you have worked hard! ”

A group of people passed through this and were praised by Ding Qi, and their hearts were as sweet as eating honey. Red deer, in particular, have crooked mouths.

"But now that there are two horses, I'm afraid I'll have to find some more fodder in time, and you can arrange for those slaves to come out along the hillside when the snow has stopped. When the time comes, Cang will take your men with him, and come back with the red deer and them to gather more forage. ”

Red deer and the newly joined warehouse immediately agreed.

Ding Qi paused and took a sip of dandelion tea. During this period of travel, drinking tea has become a luxury, just a clay pot, and it is also used to cook fish soup, which is really busy.

Feeling the taste of the tea sliding through his throat, Ding Qi continued:

"I declare one thing, starting today, the Bucks will be the elder of our tribe and the captain of the inspection team. The main duty of the elders is to advise and advise the development of the tribe, and at the same time to supervise the tribe, and to kill anyone who is found to be harmful to the tribe or divulges the secrets of the tribe. In addition, when important tribal meetings are held, the elders have the power to make suggestions, but not to decide. What about everyone's bow skills in the hunting party now? Can you do 8 out of 10? ”

The buck was glad to be the elder of the tribe, and felt that his rights seemed to be bigger and more important, and holding back the excitement in his heart, the new elder Buck reported:

"Now that the people of the hunting team have mastered the skills of bows and arrows, except for stones and fish, the other three can reach eight out of ten, and I can also reach eight out of ten."

Ding Qi thought for a while, nodded and said:

"Okay, the hunting team plus you, the red deer and Ben, a total of eight people, now let them come over and become a member of the tribe, then expand the number of hunting parties. Cang and 26 other men and a woman named Feng joined the hunting team, Ben was the captain of the hunting team, Cang was the deputy, and the three people of the original hunting team, Rat, Bear and White Fang, who could reach eight out of ten, were the team leaders, and each team leader managed nine people under them. Ben is responsible for teaching each team member what I have taught you, and the three squad leaders are responsible for the bow and arrow training of their own team members. Cang is responsible for the daily management of the hunting team, and when the time is right, Ben will have more important responsibilities, and you will be right when the time comes. ”

Ben was very calm, Ding Qi had already communicated with him about this matter, so his expression was normal. Cang, on the other hand, was given such an important position as soon as he joined the tribe, and it was false to say that he was unhappy, and this also strengthened his determination to keep up with Ding Qi's footsteps, and he became more and more loyal to Ding Qi.

"Also, from tomorrow, the hunting team will be managed according to the method I taught you on the way, that is, militarization, and tomorrow a high watchtower will be built in the corner of the courtyard, and there must be a person on it at all times to observe the movements around it, especially the movements of other tribesmen and dangerous animals, and they must be discovered and reported in advance."

Ben and Cang nodded very seriously, indicating that they would start arranging this matter tomorrow.

Ding Qi turned to flowers again:

"Hua, this time I will bring back four women and two girls for you, these people will be under the management of your support group in the future, and everyone will eat and dress and other things to you.

In addition, the three of you are responsible for the pottery production of the deer, you and the grass, and they are not allowed to be handed over to anyone else.

Red deer, you are in charge of the kiln, you can choose Baishi, and the eight of them can help you. Baishi comes from the graystone tribe and has a unique ability in stone selection, and if you teach it how to distinguish limestone, kiln and other techniques, he will be a good helper. ”

The red deer nodded yes.

Tinch finally turned to the deer:

"Xiaolu, you've gained a lot of weight recently, which means that the tribe's food is good. However, I have one more important thing for you to arrange. It is to continue to explain the rules of the tribe to the warehouse, and at the same time begin to prepare the school, this school you will organize, I will give the lecture, mainly to teach everyone to know words and numbers, so as to facilitate communication. I now have to break my fingers for a long time just to talk about the number, which is really delaying, and I ask all the staff to participate. Wait until someone joins the tribe, and you'll do all that. ”

After finishing speaking, Ding Qi did not forget to tease the deer two more times, making her face red and dripping.

"Everyone understands, is there anything else you need to report?"

After Ding Qi asked, the buck and the red deer looked a little unnatural, and after looking at each other, the buck nodded and said:

"Chief, there's something we haven't had time to say. Before, before the snow, our tribe was attacked. ”

As soon as the buck said a word, Ding Qi, who was sitting there, was shocked in his mood, and directly interrupted the buck and asked:

"Attacked? Has anyone been hurt? Which tribe knows? ”

The buck knew that Tinch valued everyone in the tribe, and he had been busy when he returned, and he must not have noticed that there were few people in the tribe.

"Yes, at that time, the people of the tribe were working outside, and two female slaves did not have time to react and were directly killed by the other party. Later, the other slaves and tribesmen hurried over to support and killed five of them, the others ran fast and were bitten to death by Xiao Hei Xiaobai who was ambushed on the road, and the rest all ran away, about a dozen people. The gang came suddenly, and there were no special signs, so it was not clear which tribe they were. ”

When Ding Qi heard that two slaves had been killed, he was very sad in his heart, this is a population! But being able to kill seven people on the other side, especially the two wolves, also made meritorious contributions, and they were relieved in their hearts.

"Where is the body? Did you see any special marks on them? ”

The red deer replied beside him:

"The corpses were buried in a ravine on the other side of the forest, and before they were buried, I arranged for two slaves to strip off the animal skins on their bodies, and there were no special marks on their bodies, but there was a phenomenon that there were some animal bones hanging around their necks, which looked a little terrifying."

The red deer mentioned that those people had animal bones around their necks, which made Ding Qi think of the group of cannibals he met when he first came to the primitive era, and they liked to wear bone ornaments on their bodies, could it be them?

"Okay, you have to pay attention to this matter, if you meet similar people in the future, you will say that the people who dare to hurt the Ding tribe are afraid that they are impatient to live, and I will let them taste revenge."

When Ding Qi said this, his eyes were slightly ruthless, which made everyone else a little afraid, but when he thought that Ding Qi was for the tribe, his heart was warm, this is the leader!

As soon as Ding Qi finished speaking, the tribe's doctor witch deer opened his mouth and said:

"There is another thing, about this snow, everyone is very confused, I don't know why it is black snow, not white snow that I have seen before. Everyone's minds are a little unstable, and I said that when the leader comes back, there will be an explanation. ”

"Well, I'll explain this, I have already told them on the way back, this is the method used by the heavens to calm the black clouds in the sky, and to let the sun and moon come out. In addition, for those who have doubts about the title of Aragami, God also wants to give them a warning, so that they can recognize Aragami as soon as possible, participate in the Ding tribe, and develop and grow the Ding tribe. ”

Ding Qi smiled and said:

"It's not a big deal, it's a normal phenomenon, so everyone doesn't have to worry, just focus on building the tribe. But you, who reminded me of one more thing. You are a tribal witch, so in the future, you have to guide everyone to grow in a good direction, and don't be affected by some bad behaviors or thoughts. ”
