Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 299 There must be a demon when things go wrong
"Shhh
Kura and Lightning both gasped at the same time.
Lightning felt that the stakes were too big, beyond his expectations and the upper limit of what he could bear. In case the other party really broke the wooden spear in an upset, wouldn't he be eating the bitter fruit? But there must be something good in the package of the other party's horseback animal skin, but I can't see that they can have something as valuable as half a forest!
Cang took this breath, also because the stakes were too big, this is a big gamble! It's not that I'm afraid that Ding Qi will lose, but I'm worried that the other party won't dare to bet. He also had a concern, that is, how to take away so much spear wood?
He could now see that Ding Qi was eyeing the other party's spear wood, and Ding Qi must have his plans, or that there was something useful about this spear wood that he didn't know.
Cang's expression is purely natural, and it is really compared to the needle.
Lightning was a little shocked when he saw Cang, and he knew that he was afraid, worried that this person of unknown age would lose. Since he is afraid, it means that the other party can't break this wooden spear.
Bet!
Lightning's self-confidence increased greatly, laughed, and immediately said:
"Why don't you dare? Bet! ”
"Okay, refreshing! Bet! ”
The two stretched out their hands and high-fived, which was considered to determine the content of the bet, which was also a way to make a contract. Just because they don't know what a contract means doesn't mean they don't know what it means to be honest.
Under normal circumstances, tribes pay great attention to their own image, especially honesty is the embodiment of a tribe's reputation. As long as other tribes know that their tribe is not honest, then other tribes will definitely not play with him, even if the five major tribes are the same, the surface work still has to be in place. As for the fact that Mizusawa and Ding Qi did not high-five in the bet before, it was because he was proud of his identity and would definitely fulfill his promise.
"Come, you can't do it here, our advanced tribe!"
A group of people happily followed the lightning into the Tuva tribe, looking forward to the next gambling event.
This kind of gambling is actually the same as the quail in Ningcheng before, and it is still gambling. Truth be told, gambling is human nature, and it is naturally developed based on the habit of trying your luck. In primitive society, a large number of "grabbing" divination methods are used to judge bad luck, including major battles are determined by divination, which is actually a form of gambling.
Entering the Tuvan tribe from the path, there was a sudden noise in my ears, the shouts of people, the cries of children, and the sound of half-grown children scrambling for things, echoing in this side of the world.
In the eye was a tent of animal skins, stretching from the center of the glade to the back, lined up, and the children were playing back and forth in the aisles between the tents, and when they saw strangers coming, they hid in the corners behind the tents, staring at the big black eyes and watching secretly.
There are about fifteen tents, and each tent can accommodate five or six people, which is about eighty people in this tribe, which is not large.
Soon, Tinch and his party were taken to the three tents and told that this was a resting place for them. As for the owner inside, he was arranged to be crowded in other tents. Between the tribes, only when they really can't provide more resting places, will they arrange for guests to set up their own tents, just like the tribes who supported the construction of Ningcheng before, they all live outside the courtyard, and the Ding tribe helps build wooden houses.
As for the horses, they were tied to a circle of spears inside the junction.
When the people had entered the tribe, the Tuvan tribe blocked the only entrance and exit with a large pile of thorns, and picked up two more piles with sticks and stacked them upwards almost to the top of the tree, without fear that the beast would jump in.
A defense system made of spearwood and thorns is a great habitat.
By this time the light had dimmed, and there were occasional annoying chirps.
Bonfires already
Five or six young girls came out of the depths of the tribe, dressed coolly, wearing a bandeau of animal skins and a thatched skirt on the bottom, and danced the dance of their tribe around the largest bonfire. Shaking his hips and swinging his arms, straightening his chest and twisting his waist, occasionally a little spring light, caused the soldiers of Jing's squad to roll their throats for a while.
Doing as the locals do, Tincch never objected to everything the host offered his guests.
A total of two deer were hit, and at the moment they had been stripped and washed by several warriors and hung on the bonfire for barbecue. It was only when the skin was peeled that the crowd watched, and the scene of the bronze knife they used to quickly cut through the animal skin caused a burst of exclamation from time to time. The movement here attracted the tribe's Witch Lightning and the leader Thunderbolt, and when they saw the ease and freehand of the bronze knife cutting the animal skin, their hearts immediately beat faster.
The two glanced at each other, in addition to shock and fear in their eyes, and then silently moved away, each leaving with his own thoughts. It's just that there is still an inexplicable brilliance flashing in the eyes of the lightning, that is greed! If he were a modern man living in the 21st century, he would have said something in his heart:
"Rich!"
The warrior was roasting the meat, and the fire below had been replaced with a charcoal fire, so that there would not be too much flame to roast the meat. Ding Qi had tasted Ben's barbecued meat before, and he directly improved this way of grilling, just like grilling lamb skewers over a charcoal fire.
The deer has been cut out of many openings by the bronze knife, and the warriors in charge of roasting it are brushed with some homemade incense powder and salt water of the Ding tribe from time to time, and the rich aroma of meat instantly spreads over the entire tribe with the rising heat wave, attracting all the people of the entire Tuva tribe, from the old to the young, including the leader and the doctor.
There was the sound of swallowing saliva all around, which made Ding Qi smile wryly, human beings will never be able to resist in the face of food, whether it is the period of primitive society or the twenty-first century when society is highly developed. It can also be seen from this that human beings are going farther and farther on the road of groping for food, and they will never stop. How could it be that after the invention of bronze tools, there would be such a large tripod for cooking meat?
But when Yun took out a clay pot and poured it on the water rack to boil water on the fire, Lightning and Thunder were already so shocked that they were incoherent, and they were still a little afraid, and they didn't know how to ask.
"It's... Little brother, what kind of witch are you playing... Witchcraft? How can this water roll on its own? ”
Lightning finally overcame the fear in his heart and stammered.
Yun understood that the other party was also a doctor witch, so he performed a general greeting gesture between doctors and witches, which was a gesture that only doctors and witches could use, which was a sign of identity.
The index finger and thumb of Yun's right hand are crossed into a heart shape, lightly touching his forehead, and then pointing to his heart, which means that the doctor is the darling of the heavens, and the two sides are connected to each other.
Lightning's heart shook suddenly, he didn't expect that there was a young and high-ranking doctor in the other team, which made him a little surprised. But it was just a stunned effort, and he also replied to the other party with the same gesture to express his greetings.
In the past, the communication between the tribes and the Ding tribe was led by the leader, and there was no witch doctor to lead the team, and the traditional medicine witch of the tribe rarely stayed away from the tribe, so he would be surprised by lightning.
Yun smiled and said:
"You're welcome, don't worry, it's not witchcraft. In the words of our leader, this is a physical phenomenon, and I won't talk about what physics is, just think of it as a manifestation of water heating. The heated water is called boiling water, and it is very hot, just like a fire, so the boiling water does not dare to touch it, and it will be burned. What I'm going to do now is to make tea with this hot water. ”
Although Yun is younger, he knows a lot of things, and after all, he is also a healer and witch inheritor. The brain is smart, and the speed of accepting new knowledge is young
But quickly, even the physics knowledge taught by Ding Qi was used.
When the lightning heard that it was not witchcraft, he was a little convinced, but then the question came again, what is this thing that holds water? Why aren't you afraid of fire?
The doubts in his heart were asked, and Yun smiled slightly and patiently explained:
"It's called a clay pot, and it can be used to boil water, fish and meat, and some plant tubers. The boiled minced meat can be eaten by the elderly, and the boiled tubers can be crushed and fed to the children, so that they can grow stronger. ”
Lightning was immersed in the clouds' explanations, asking questions from time to time, forgetting about the things he was going to do with Dingqi, which was something he had to do as a witch. It is more difficult to communicate with the doctors, and it is very fateful that the two doctors and witches can see each other in their lives. Therefore, they will seize the opportunity, whether it is asking for advice or communication, they will be very focused, this is learning!
Cloud and Lightning were communicating, Thunder was chatting with Shangcang, and Dingqi was walking around the Tuva tribe with his hands behind his back, and the light of the bonfire was enough to make people see the road under their feet. The little cutie followed by her, and from time to time bared her teeth at the children who came up to her, scaring them to hula and run clean. But after a while, another group of people will be around.
The area of the whole tribe is not large, about 3,000 square meters, and the tribe is very cleverly selected, just sitting in the south and facing north, facing the path. This fully shows that the ancestors of the Tuvan tribe were very intelligent and knew how to choose the direction of the rising sun, and of course this may also be the instinct of human beings as animals.
Ding Qi turned around, mainly to check if there was anything that this tribe should not have, to ensure that this tribe would not be a cannibal tribe. He remembered that the lightning was a little too enthusiastic just now, and there must be a demon when things go wrong, so be careful.
The Tuvan tribe is well managed, and at least the excrement is concentrated in a corner in the shade to the southwest. But it's summer, and even if it's shaded, there's still a strong stench coming out of that corner. This is the disadvantage of enclosed spaces, the ventilation is poor, but the advantage is that the defense effect is good, and there is no need to worry about predators coming at night. Truth be told, those dense spears can squeeze the aggressor into waves, and as for snakes or pikas, it is all about feeding the Tuvan tribe.
In addition to these, Ding Qi also found that the water source of this tribe was a problem, and he did not find a place to store water, and the small river with water was really far away from the tribe, about more than 500 meters. Just now, the soldiers flayed and washed the deer, and they still washed it with the water in their own water bladders. In addition to the water bladder, there are two thick bamboo tubes on the horse's back, which store a lot of water, which is mostly used to give the horse to drink.
After a turn, Tinch confirmed that the tribe was not like a cannibal tribe. The food was not scarce, there were no bones of unknown kinds, and there were no slaves in captivity, so it should be a relatively clean tribe.
Ding Qi returned to the place where Thunder and Cang were chatting, and politely asked about the previous doubts about water.
For the young man in front of him who can respect others, Thunder is not upset because he disturbs his conversation with others.
"It seems that you are a child with ideas. This is indeed the biggest problem of our tribe at present, every time we need water, we run to the river, drink water, wash our hands and bathe, even if we peel and wash the prey, it is also by the river, but there is no water in the tribe. But I think the kind of water container you use is surprising, but I don't know if you can exchange it. And, of course, your skinning tools, which are sharper than stone daggers. ”
Being treated as a child, Ding Qi felt awkward in his heart, and he was almost fifty years old in the previous and previous lives.
The use of bronze daggers by the warriors and the use of clay pots by the clouds were all arranged by Ding Qi, and he always wanted to share some of his good things, which has always been his original intention. As long as you let others know that something is good, you can sell it.
