In the newly completed hall, although the ground has not yet been leveled, a special meeting was held here.

Before, on that moonlit night, Tinch and the deer had left a good story for the tribesmen on the big rock. Since then, the stone has also become a popular place for young men and women in the tribe to date, and every night, especially on moonlit nights, the stone has become a treasure trove for everyone. In particular, the place where Ding Qi and the two once sat has become a place where "soldiers must fight".

And that night, the Witch Deer explained to Ding Qi about the tribal totem.

"Oh, no wonder. The totem pole is the spiritual symbol of the tribe, as long as there is a totem pole, there is a tribe's fire in the continuation, even if the tribe members are far away, as long as the totem pole is there, they can find their way back to the tribe. Just like the original deer tribe, the totem pole is a light and agile deer, but then the tribe's population has been declining, and in the end there is no totem pole left. ”

These words have always echoed in Ding Qi's ears, and he still vividly remembers the promise he made to the deer to erect the totem of his tribe in front of the whole world. You can't be the whole world, but you can be in front of all the tribes around you.

At this moment, this meeting is to discuss how to set up the totem, and this matter is undoubtedly best known only to the former tribal rulers such as the Witch Doctor and the Elders.

Aking from his contemplation, Ding Qi glanced at the deer sitting in the corner and smiled slightly.

Due to the abundance of food in the tribe, the once greedy doctor witch deer has become a beautiful and lovely girl, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the first beauty of the tribe. The face is slightly round, the complexion is fair, the appearance is very sweet, the willow eyebrows are curved, and the big eyes are clear and bright, like a pool of clear water, reflecting people's hearts. Although he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, the appearance of smiling and groaning made Ding Qi slightly moved.

The deer was a little stunned by Ding Qi's inexplicable smile, and he didn't know why Ding Qi was smiling at himself. But that smile was actually a little charming, which made the deer's cheeks red, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at people.

Ben on the side saw it and squeezed his eyes at Ding Qi, which meant to say:

"Look, your little daughter-in-law is shy!"

Ding Qi glared, covered his mouth and coughed, hiding his embarrassment, and said:

"Everyone, today's meeting is to discuss the totem of our Ding tribe."

As soon as Ding Qi finished saying this, the deer who was sitting with his head down raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of bright brilliance, and his expression was radiant. The others were also a little moved, and they exchanged their heads and ears.

"Huh? We're going to set up our own tribal totem too? ”

"The number of the Ding tribe has long exceeded the regulations of the big tribes, and they can set up their own totems!"

"Finally we can see our tribe's own circle!"

"What will our tribe's totem look like?"

Overall, everyone is open to the Ding tribe's fattening.

"Everyone, be quiet, as everyone here knows, I come from a very large tribe in the north, and the tribe has endless food, hundreds of millions of people, buildings taller than our hall, and all kinds of tools.

Sadly, I got lost on one of my travels and ended up here. It's nice to know all of you here, and I feel like my home and I'm able to bring food and warmth to everyone

Be happy with safety and shelter. ”

Ding Qi paused for a moment and continued:

"Although I am regarded as an Aragami by everyone, I know that I am not a god, but just a disseminator of knowledge. I hope that through my own knowledge and skills, I can bring safety and warmth to everyone, have food, clothing, and shelter, and become a thoughtful person.

The tribe I belong to is called the Hua tribe, also called the Hua tribe, and the Hua tribe is composed of thousands of small tribes, just like the current Ding tribe, but we are much stronger. The tribe has its own totem, and the totem name is called: Dragon! In other words, I am a descendant of the dragon! ”

After Ding Qi finished saying this, his whole mental state improved, as if there was a domineering aura spontaneously. The others naturally straightened their upper bodies unnaturally, and there was a feeling of awe!

Ding Qixin said: I'm proud!

"Since it comes to tribal totems, I want to use the dragon as the totem of our tribe. Dragons can go up to the sky and into the earth, can go down to the sea and dive into the abyss, and can breathe fire and spit rain, such totems are much more powerful than those big tribe fish, snakes and other totems. ”

When Ding Qi said this, everyone present laughed, Ding Qi was actually satirizing the Blackwater tribe, and their tribal totem was a fish.

Ding Qi laughed too, but got to the point.

"I didn't discuss it with you, so I set the tribal totem as a dragon, and please understand, dragon, it's my hometown missing!"

Elder Bucks looked left and right, and immediately said:

"Leader, whatever decision you make, everyone will definitely support it!"

"That's it! It is! ”

"Take the dragon as a totem!"

"Dragon, that sounds very imposing!"

Everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their support for the "dragon" as the totem of the Ding tribe.

However, the deer objected:

"Chief, I have no problem with your proposal to use the dragon as a tribal totem, and I support your decision. But what does a dragon look like? You have to say it. ”

As soon as Lu finished asking, Ding Qi patted his head and quickly apologized to everyone:

"I'm sorry I forgot to tell you what a dragon looks like."

Ding Qi thought about it and told everyone according to the description of the dragon in his memory:

"According to the tribal tradition of dragons, dragons 'have horns like deer, heads like camels, eyes like rabbits, necks like snakes, belly like mirages, scales like fish, claws like eagles, palms like tigers, ears like oxes'. What does that mean?

The head of the dragon looks like the head of a camel, and the camel is an animal that lives in the desert and is resistant to hunger and thirst; The horns on the dragon's head look the same as the horns of the sika deer or banlu raised in our tribe, and its eyes are red like rabbit eyes. Its neck or neck is curved like a snake, but its belly is like a mirage, which no one has ever seen, and I have heard that it is a large seashell in the sea......"

Ding Qi told everyone about the dragon in his impression, the more he talked, the more excited he became, the more he danced, so that everyone had the impression of the dragon...

Well, how to say it? It's just not impressive.

In fact, Ben said what he thought:

"I'm getting more and more confused, I don't know what a dragon looks like, and it feels like it's a group photo of these animals."

Everyone didn't have the slightest idea of the image of the dragon, and looked at everyone's increasingly confused eyes

Eye, Ding Qi smiled embarrassedly, it seems that he still has to draw it.

"Well, I'll draw a picture of a dragon for everyone to see, and I'll put it on the wall facing the gate, so that everyone who enters the gate can see the dragon. At the same time, the totem pole was carved by the medical witch group and stood outside the door of the main hall."

Tinche continued to arrange some of the recent work arrangements for the city, including the continued construction of other buildings, such as barracks, training grounds, arsenals, various artisan shops (carpenters, tanners, stonemasons, tailors, blacksmiths, masons, armory, etc.), horse pens, deer pens, breeding grounds, and even public toilets.

Two rows of houses are also planned on both sides of the avenue, which will serve as a future exchange ground in the city, and even open restaurants and inns to receive people from other tribes. Moreover, these houses will separate the fields at the back, so that people do not have a direct view of the barracks, artisan quarters, breeding farms, etc.

While everyone was discussing the construction of the city, the group was walking on horseback in an open forest meadow where the Yuanyu tribe had been walking eastward for about three days.

It was at Dingqi's request that these people went east to the Yu tribe to search for Moo from other tribes and his group of warriors. The entire class, including Moo, are all hunters of the Yuan Yu tribe, so the decorations on their heads are the same as those of the Yuan Yu tribe, so that those who are familiar with them can easily tell which tribe they belong to.

They walked east from the Yu tribe for about ten days and encountered three tribes, namely the Fengyi, Youchao, and Shanrong tribes. These tribes, Mo Zai Yu tribe has never heard of these three tribes, and has not come into contact with them.

Through observation, they felt that these three tribes did not look like cannibal tribes, so they took the initiative to contact each other and took out some pottery to exchange with the three tribes. The items obtained in exchange are mainly animal skins, animal meat, plant tubers, and some plant seeds, stems and leaves.

Moreover, Moo and the nesting tribe were exchanged for a coil of rope. Moo didn't want to swap, but saw that the rope was very delicately rubbed, without too many rough lines exposed, and only the thickness of a little finger. He tugged with both hands, but it felt stronger than the rope that the Ding tribe had rubbed three times thicker himself. Eventually, Moo changed his mind and exchanged a clay pot for a roll of rope and eight large hides.

Moo is exchanged according to Ding Qi's request, as long as he feels that he has not seen something that may bring benefits to the tribe, he must find a way to exchange it, and understand the function or function of these unknown exchange items.

Moo specifically asked the leader of the nest tribe what the material of this rope was and how to make it. The other party only told him that this rope was exchanged from a tribe called Ma when the Youchao tribe walked north for five sunsets, and that Ma tribe grew a lot of hemp around it, and they were made through the rope of hemp. I saw that this kind of rope was strong and durable, so I exchanged three skins for a roll of rope, and I have been using it to this day.

Nest tribes live in trees, they build nests in trees like birds, and sometimes use ropes to tie branches to strengthen their nests. Therefore, they have a greater need for ropes.

Moo got the information he wanted, and gave the leader two clay bowls as a thank you. At the same time, they are also invited to have time to come to the Ding tribe as guests, and they can exchange more things. The other two tribes were also notified.

Moo they returned with a full load, and the exchanged hides filled every horse, including their spare horses.
