Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 160 Tribal Exchange Meeting (Courtship Dance)

Seeing the opportunity, the falcon pulled the goshawk leader and immediately said:

"Aragami, don't worry, we promise not to say anything about the artifact, and the Blue Bird Tribe also wants to be protected by Aragami."

The goshawk next to him also quickly nodded in agreement, looking a little panicked. The two of them are not stupid, such a sharp weapon or artifact in their hands, how convenient it will be! This can be seen just from the direction of cutting down trees. If it is cut on an animal or a person, the wound caused is even more severe than the axe, and it rises to a higher level, and in the surrounding tribes where they are located, it is a sharp weapon and an artifact for hunting and fighting.

And if such an artifact is in the hands of a small tribe, then this tribe will usher in a catastrophe, it can only be mastered by a powerful tribe, and only a powerful tribe can protect and use this artifact to bring power to the tribe.

At present, the strength of the Ding tribe is still a little weak, and if other large tribes know that there is such an artifact, it is natural that what will happen is self-evident. So he and Hayabusa and even the Blue Bird Tribe behind him were roasted on the fire, if this secret was leaked, then the first to usher in the catastrophe was himself and the Blue Bird Tribe. Therefore, how to choose, goshawk and falcon know better than anyone else.

But then Ding Qi's words shook the two of them upside down, scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, ecstatic, drenched in cold sweat and panicked.

"Do you want to own this artifact? Everyone has it, everyone in the tribe can have it? ”

The two of them fell to their knees with a puff.

What the? Can we have this artifact? Can everyone have it? What's going on? Can artifacts be mass-manufactured? Can we also be warriors with artifacts? Why did Aragami tell these secrets to himself? Isn't it true that the two of us and the Blue Bird Tribe have no way to live? Is there only one way for us to live?

It's still spring, and it's not summer yet, but the sweat on the foreheads of the two is already falling down. They are terrified, and the pressure is not ordinary. And at the moment, they have only one way to go.

"Leader Ding, oh no, Aragami, we all want to have this artifact. After this exchange meeting is over, Hayabusa and I will rush back to the tribe as soon as possible to discuss with the doctor and witch about joining the Ding tribe. Rest assured, neither of us will tell anyone about the artifact. ”

Goshawk is worthy of being the leader of the tribe, and immediately expressed his position to Ding Qi.

In fact, Ding Qi didn't want to do this, but he was really anxious and didn't want to miss the opportunity for the tribe to grow and grow. In addition, the communication with the Blue Bird Tribe has been relatively smooth, and there is no conflict of interest between everyone, so they just happened to be the first tribe to arrive, so they started first.

To achieve his goal, Ding Qi threw the axe to the falcon with a flick of his hand, which scared the other party into catching it several times in the air, for fear of falling. This is comparable to the existence of a timed bomb, although Hayabusa doesn't know what a timed bomb is, but he knows that this is a real thing that kills people, and it may be the life of many people.

Take the goshawk's hand and go back to the shack, and ask the cangs to arrange for someone to prepare a bonfire banquet in the evening to welcome the return of the Ding tribe. At the same time, the bear team was arranged to build two shacks for the people of the Blue Bird Tribe, including those slaves

in. Ding Qi has already regarded those slaves as his own people, and since they are his own people, they can't be treated badly.

When the bonfire is lit, young men and women from both tribes dance around the bonfire in a primitive dance, accompanied by rhythmic clapping and tapping. On the small campfire next to it, the roasted venison was dripping with oil and water, and it was sizzling on the charcoal fire.

Ding Qi and the goshawk leader sat on one side, with boiled animal bones and meat in front of them, and the two slowly tore off a piece of meat and handed it to their mouths, then took another sip of tea, and chatted with each other. However, looking at the unfamiliar dance in front of him, Ding Qi had some questions, and turned his head to ask the warehouse on the side.

"Cang, what kind of dance are they dancing? How did I skip from someone who never saw us. ”

However, Ding Qi saw an expression on Cang's face that only a man could understand, which made him a little puzzled.

"Hey, Chief, it's a courtship dance, and it's a courtship ritual. After the snow melts, the young men and women who participate in the exchange meeting perform this dance every time they meet. In dance, both men and women express their affection for their favorite object through dance, and if both parties like it, they go to the grove that night to complete the final step of the courtship ceremony.

After a while, the woman may have a larger belly and eventually give birth to a child. If her belly doesn't get bigger, she will continue to participate in the exchange until she gets bigger and gives birth. ”

As soon as Cang explained this, Ding Qi knew what was going on. This is a microcosm of the mother's society, just like marriage, the woman can be in love with any man who likes each other, and then give birth to a child who only knows his mother but not his father, and lives with the tribe. This can be regarded as a way for primitive societies to avoid marriage between close relatives, but it is impossible to avoid it completely, but it can be regarded as a relatively advanced solution.

Ding Qi knew that the only thing that could solve this problem was clan culture.

It seems that the person who is dancing is looking forward to this day for a long time, wantonly venting his emotions, interacting with the man he likes, and even mixing some primitive fertility cult content into it. Ding Qi believes that this kind of dance is mixed with aphrodisiac elements, which can make the men and women involved in it more and more forgetful.

Ding Qi was no longer interested after looking at it for a while, there were only a few hunting team members of the Ding tribe and the women of the Blue Bird tribe in the field, and the absence of women from the Ding tribe made those young men of the Blue Bird tribe a little disappointed, and they stayed in the field and gnawed meat and bones without interest. However, the situation of more monks and less porridge on the field is destined to some men who are not favored by the women in the field, and they can only work harder, hoping to attract the women they like from the arms of others.

Strong and bear do not belong to this ranks, and the strong ones attract the attention of most of the women in the field. It's just that this kind of activity is only allowed to choose one object, otherwise they will be surrounded by strong and bears, causing public outrage.

After eating and drinking, Ding Qi didn't care about the story that happened in the field, and after saying hello to the goshawk leader, he went back to sleep in the shack. There is no need to explain to the warehouse, he will do a good job of security and defense.

Near noon the next day, the Greystone tribe and the Red Bull tribe arrived at the exchange place, with the Red Bull tribe in front and the Graystone tribe behind. After the alarm bell rang, Cang led the rat team to meet him.

The experience of the Blue Bird Tribe yesterday has been staged in the two tribes today, which makes Cang also feel crying and laughing, as for it?

Of course, as for this, Cang is used to horses as creatures, and other tribes don't have this kind of close and long-term contact with wild animals, so it's not bad not to be afraid of peeing your pants! Although the Graystone tribe had seen Ding Qi riding a horse, they were still a little panicked when so many horseback riders arrived.

Both tribes brought a lot of supplies and slaves, apparently also wanting to exchange more pottery.

However, when the Ding tribe helped the Red Bull tribe build a shack, the Graystone tribe broke the complaint, thinking that the Ding tribe violated the alliance agreement and did not help them. However, after the red stone collar was invited to Ding Qi, and Ding Qi only said one word of soil, the red stone collar directly apologized to Ding Qi with a red face, and threw the pot on the soil who was taming the horse.

He didn't have a good impression of the Red Stone Leader, so Ding Qi ignored him, and just told him that the apology was insincere, and if he wanted this alliance to remain the same as before, he needed to use twenty slaves to make up for the fault of the Graystone Tribe. Chishi had no choice but to let Yan send those twenty slaves to the Ding tribe.

Like the other two tribes, they got enough food this winter to swallow up some of the weaker tribes, and the thirty or so slaves they finally got were sent out on the first day of the exchange, and Akaishi was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. But he knows that he has suffering, who asked him to send soil to steal technology, and now he has lost his wife and soldiers, so he can only say that he has suffering.

Just as the Greystone Tribe was building their dwellings, the alarm bell rang again, and the sound was particularly dense when it sounded, and Ding Qi judged that there should be more than a hundred people approaching the exchange place. To be on the safe side, Ding Qi stood on the watchtower and took out his binoculars to observe the identity of the visitor.

In front of him, he was a big fat man, and the familiar figure was the leader of the Blue Tiger of the Li tribe. He was walking at the front of the line with a full body of fat, and on the left and right were two strangers, one tall and one short, the tall one with eyes as big as a bull's eye, and the short one with eyes as small as peanuts. Behind the three of them, each with a team of people walked forward, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was harmonious, presumably these were the two tribes summoned by the Li tribe.

The force tribe arrived as promised, and Ding Qi hurriedly rode on Xiao Erhei and rushed to meet him on horseback with two teams. Boom, two teams of horseback riders galloped across the wasteland, scaring the three tribes so much that they almost fled. Fortunately, Ding Qi spoke out in advance, and the leader of the Blue Tiger had seen Ding Qi riding a horse, so he hurriedly reassured everyone, and finally did not make a joke.

The two sides met very lively, and the leader of the Blue Tiger also hurriedly introduced the two people around him. The stocky and small-eyed men were the leaders of the Qiu tribe, and they lived to the west of the Li tribe, surrounded by mounds, hence the name. The tall, thin-eyed and big-eyed Gurung chieftains, Gu Da, like to collect honey and exchange it with other tribes.

But before their buttocks could sit hot, the sound of the vigilance bronze plate sounded again, louder than the movement of the three tribes of the Blue Tiger leader just now, and it was almost close to the limit of the vigilance's mathematical counting.

This made Ding Qi very puzzled, which tribe would come from the dark path? I only notified the three tribes of the force and my allies, and I didn't notify the other tribes, who could this be?
