Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 149 The Secret of the Snow Mountain Tribe (Ask for Collection and Subscription)
The two young girls, dressed in animal skin clothes made by themselves, looked simple and graceful, and the atmosphere of youth came to their faces. They came to Ding Qi, knelt down, and threw themselves to the ground. After five or six breaths, he looked up at Ding Qi, his forehead was icy red.
These two girls are none other than the two girls given to Ding Qi by the Greystone Tribe: Xue and Dan, who are also the two women that Ding Qi has been focusing on. Because Ding Qi didn't think that the Greystone tribe sent them over just to thank Ding Qi, there must be an ulterior secret in it.
However, in Ding Qi's view, this secret is not a secret, it is nothing more than wanting to understand the secrets of the Ding tribe and learn the various techniques of the Ding tribe, such as fishing net weaving, refined salt and weapon making. And this knowledge or technology will slowly spread to the hands of various tribes as the Ding tribe grows stronger, and it will not be held in their own hands and let it become moldy and cannot obtain value, let alone promote social development.
If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world, which is what Ding Qi, who is also from the army, thinks should be done. If you come here in vain, you might as well not come. Come, you have to leave a little mark, indelible! Men, they always want to leave something behind!
Since Xue and Dan came to the tribe, they only said that they were from the Snow Mountain tribe far southwest of the Black Water Tribe, and they were exchanged for slavery in the Black Water Tribe, and they didn't talk about any other information, and they rarely talked about their Snow Mountain Tribe. In addition, the two of them have been actively learning what they can learn in the tribe, including Chinese characters, mathematics, sewing animal skins, and everything else they can come into contact with, but they have not deliberately learned something that they should not know like Tu. For example, an ordinary member of the two tribes knows how to care for and considerate people, and the work arranged for them is quickly completed with quality and quantity, and often helps others, and contributes to the tribe as much as possible.
These are two such girls, who can say that they are spies sent by other tribes? If it weren't for the two of them standing up, Ding Qi would have thought that either he had guessed wrong, or that these two people were professionally trained and hidden too deeply.
But this is an uncivilized primitive society, and you can't get enough to eat, so how can there be so many pickled things? The Blackwater tribe behind them is big, but no matter how big it is, there will be no professionals to train them. Because there is no need, everyone is clearly ruthless in all their backgrounds, and the exchange of them into slavery is just for two more laborers and a tool to have children and strengthen the tribe.
Still, Ding Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and it was a good thing that he could confirm their identities before they made a big mistake.
Among them, looking at the slightly older snow, he was about to speak, but Ding Qi raised his hand to stop him. Ding Qi came to them, helped them up, and raised his voice and said:
God says that those who have the courage to admit their mistakes will be treated preferentially. I, the leader of the tribe of Ding, forgive you for your innocence! From then on, you are an ordinary member of the Ding tribe. ”
As soon as Ding Qi's words fell, all the people of the surrounding Ding tribe burst into warm applause, expressing great joy for the treatment of the two of them, and also proud to have such a leader.
Xue and Dan were speechless in shock, their eyes were full of tears for a while, and they looked at the leader in front of them, the legendary Aragami, and fell to their knees again, thanking the leader for giving them hope in life. And the two of them silently swore in their hearts that they would follow in Ding Qi's footsteps and never turn their backs. As for the clansmen who are still in the Blackwater Tribe, they can only wait until the tribe is strong enough to contribute enough to the tribe, and then beg Ding Qi if he can rescue them or avenge the clansmen.
At this point, the tribal trial conference is over, and no one else will admit that they are spies, of course, it does not mean that there are no spies. Among the people who have been exchanged from the three tribes, they still need to be focused on, be skeptical, and not let people steal the technology. It's not for nothing, but it's not so beautiful!
Ding Qi knows that intellectual property can create a lot of value in the 21st century, and it also has use value, and it itself has a large enough hidden value. If he can't get enough benefits, it is impossible for Ding Qi to hand over some key technologies to others.
For example, fishing nets, people who see them think they are just for use
Rope is braided. But if you don't tell you the initial steps or principles of netting, and don't tell you how to tie knots, and rely on primitive people to figure out the fishing nets used by the Ding tribe now, the time may have to be postponed by ten or twenty years, or even longer. Therefore, Ding Qi only asked the slaves or others to rub the rope, and as for how to weave the net later, he only taught them a few people from the original deer tribe.
However, with the acceptance of the Yu tribe and the Qing tribe, two people who are not involved with other tribes and have relatively innocent identities, Ding Qi can teach some techniques such as net weaving, pottery making, smelting, etc. to the people of these two tribes, basically without worrying about secret leakage, and can even separate the process, fixed people do fixed things, and leaks of secrets basically do not happen.
As the population of the tribe grows, a skill can be taught exclusively to a person who has been transformed from a tribe to a clan. At the same time, some professions such as blacksmiths, carpenters, bow makers, bricklayers, tailors, hunters, fishermen, soldiers, etc., were differentiated, and slowly this primitive society would really work.
So, Ding Qi is not too worried about leaks. As for the soil, this is a special person born under the influence of the red deer, and the red deer can only be blamed, not the soil. Therefore, Tinch also needs to strengthen the mental or spiritual control of the people within the tribe. But that's a later story, and I'll come back to it.
From morning to afternoon, a lot of things happened, and everyone was hungry, Ding Qi simply announced that he would have a break today and tomorrow, and he could get a haircut, take a bath, play around, and toss casually. Tinch then summoned the bucks, deer, and Ben, as well as Snow and Dan.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai left the tribe, and Ding Qi was a little lost. Raise them when they are young, and the relationship is very deep, and they feel closer than the relationship with them. Now there are little cuties and little gold by his side, as well as Xiao Erhei and two bears, but I always feel that Xiao Erhei and the two bears are not as deep as the four King Kongs.
Especially the two bears, they are fed by stones and fish all day long, and the relationship between them is called close, much stronger than his own father. When Xiong Daxiong Er saw Ding Qi coming back, he just poked his head out of the nest to see if there was anything to eat, and then retracted back to sleep. During hibernation, they are only interested in food and the people who feed them. Dingch? Now you can only stand aside.
In the cabin, the four of them listen to Snow and Dan tell them what happened to them.
As mentioned earlier, they are from the Snow Mountain Tribe. The Snow Mountain tribe is backed by a tall snow-capped mountain, living at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, with bamboo forests and pine trees all over the mountain, where there are rivers formed by the meltwater of the snow-capped mountains, attracting all kinds of different animals to inhabit the surrounding area, providing their tribe with easy food. If that's all there is, the Snow Mountain tribe is no different from other small tribes.
The rivers formed by the meltwater of the snow-capped mountains brought a kind of stone, which was polished like milky white and emerald green, which could be worn on the body or made into a stone knife to cut meat. This stone is particularly beautiful to look at, and everyone likes to wear it on their bodies, including the surrounding tribes.
As a tribe that has lived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains for a long time, they have mastered the method of finding this stone that no one else knows, which is an exclusive secret. When the tribe has a food crisis or exchanges powerstones, some of these beautiful polished stones will be exchanged. From this, it can be seen how valuable this stone itself is, enough to attract the prying eyes of some tribes, just like the fishing nets of the Ding tribe.
However, some small and medium-sized tribes around did not dare to come to fight the idea of the Snow Mountain Tribe, first, because they had been in the mountainous environment for a long time, and the people in the Snow Mountain Tribe were brave and warlike, and their strength was relatively strong. The second is because the tribe has a kind of guardian beast, and they have formed a symbiosis or mutual trust relationship formed by living together for a long time with the people of the Snow Mountain tribe, and the people of the Snow Mountain tribe can fight together with this animal to resist dangerous animals or humans.
This guardian beast, known as the white bear by Snow and Dan, looks like a bear, but it likes to eat bamboo, plant food, and sometimes meat, and has soft black and white hair. They are cute and have beautiful fur, and some tribes around them will run over to hunt them and make clothes to show off, attracting more people to come and hunt.
In order to protect their territory, and the white bears also resisted the people who came to kill them, humans and the white bears formed an offensive and defensive alliance, attacking people or animals who dared to attack the snow mountain tribes.
But the two things that the Snow Mountain Tribe possessed were somehow known to the Blackwater Tribe, and they sent a lot of people and united some surrounding tribes to attack the Snow Mountain Tribe. In the end, the Snow Mountain Tribe was outnumbered and many people were killed, and the rest were captured and enslaved by the Blackwater Tribe.
They wanted to get the secret of that kind of stone and white bear, so they carried out a very brutal suppression of the slaves of the Snow Mountain tribe to get the secret. But these slaves are very tight-mouthed, and even if they are tired and starving to death, they will not tell their secrets.
And this time, Xue and Dan agreed to come to the Ding tribe to explore the secret, also because the leader of the Blackwater tribe promised that they would take good care of their clansmen, otherwise they would kill all their clansmen. After careful consideration, and the fact that it had nothing to do with finding out the secrets of the Ding tribe and keeping the secrets of the Snow Mountain tribe, they agreed to be sent to the Ding tribe.
But after coming to the Ding tribe, they found that the Ding tribe was very magical, and it was still the tribe of the Aragami. Everything that existed in the tribe aroused their great interest, and the slaves of the tribe enjoyed the same treatment as ordinary people, with clothing and food, which was not possible in other tribes.
Gradually, they changed their minds, they wanted to learn everything in the tribe, but they would not trade that knowledge or technology for the freedom or life of the other members of the tribe, just as they would not trade the secrets of their tribe for freedom or life. At the same time, they believed that under the leadership of Aragami, the Ding tribe would definitely develop into a powerful tribe, even stronger than the Blackwater tribe. When the time comes, they want to trade their contributions to the tribe for the opportunity to rescue their own people.
If it weren't for the defection, they would have kept the secret in their hearts until the day of need.
After listening to the two of them, Ding Qi finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked excitedly:
"The kind of stone you are talking about that becomes beautiful after polishing, is it a stone that has been washed out of the snowy mountains? Especially after the annual snowfall, there are so many of these stones? ”
As soon as Ding Qi finished asking, Xue and Dan were directly stunned, looking at Ding Qi incredulously, as if looking at a monster, a monster who knows everything. But the monster didn't wait for them to answer, and asked to himself:
"As for the white bear you are talking about, in fact, its real name is the panda, and it has black and white fur, especially the head with only its eyes and ears are black, and the rest of the place is white, and they especially like to sit there and eat bamboo. Am I right? ”
Yuki and Dan were already petrified, and there were expressions of fear on their faces, no longer looking at monsters, but at a legendary devil who knew everything. As a tribe far away from the Snow Mountain tribe, and it is also a rising tribe, how can it not be shocking to know the origin of two priceless treasures of their tribe?
This is the biggest secret of his tribe, and he has never mentioned it to the tribesmen, but why would the leader know?
The two looked at each other, swallowed their saliva, and found incredible and absurd thoughts in each other's eyes, did Aragami know everything?
Ding Qike didn't care about how the two were behaving now, and continued:
"For me, there are no secrets in this world, and you two don't have to worry that I'll tell the secret, but it will eventually be known to the other tribes. The difference is only whether we have the strength to protect these two secrets, as long as we have this strength, we are not afraid of other tribes knowing, and we can also protect these secrets and protect those bamboo-eating pandas! ”
After Ding Qi finished speaking, Xue and Dan had returned to normal, and the two of them fell to their knees again and pleaded with Ding Qi:
"Chief, Aragami, can you please rescue our people from the Snow Mountain Tribe from the Blackwater Tribe at the right time? We will both recognize you as our master, follow you forever, and become your most loyal slave! ”
