Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 100 The Enchanting Animal Skin Suspenders
Next, Ding Qi told the leaders of the two tribes that they would hold an exchange meeting at the location of the original deer tribe after the snow melted next year, and that their tribe would prepare a lot of items for exchange, covering all kinds of pottery, back baskets, and bamboo products, mainly pottery. They can exchange anything they find useful, including slaves, power stones, colored stones, plant seeds, etc., or even useful information, as long as Dingchi feels valuable.
The Li tribe can notify other tribes to come with them, exchange them for their special products, and point out that the Ding tribe needs a lot of slaves.
Back at the temporary quarters, Ben and the others had not yet slept, Ben was teaching the new members of the tribe how to make animal skin clothes, and they were going to leave tomorrow, and they had to make sure that everyone had a warm animal skin clothes, and not just around a animal skin as before. Ding Qi also joined, armed with stone knives and stone cones, to help the slower ones cut the hides and punch holes and sew them.
The three bonfires were very bright, the hut was very warm, everyone was talking and laughing, and the progress was not slow, and some people had already begun to make simple animal leather shoes.
In the early morning, there was a white frost on the ground, and even the breath exhaled from the mouth became a white mist, constantly changing shape as the mouth opened and closed.
Xiao Erhei screamed there, as if expressing dissatisfaction. In the past two days, Ding Qi was busy boiling salt, and Ding Qi didn't take much care of it, so he quickly took out its special pottery bowl, sprinkled a little coarse salt into it, poured in a bowl of water, stirred it well, and handed it to it, and it drank it all in one go. However, after drinking it, it seems to be a little disgusted, can it still taste the difference between coarse salt and coarse salt?
And the gray horse also ran over, and went straight to the pottery bowl, and Ding Qi had to get a bowl for it. Unexpectedly, the gray horse who drank salt water for the first time reacted a little big, and the person stood up directly, and Herod, the neighing sound spread far away.
And the two guys, Jin and Cutie, one squatted on top of the shack, and the other lay at Ding Qi's feet, seemingly waiting for him to feed. Ding Qi took the two rabbits that Ben had just hunted, secretly cut their fur with a straight knife, and handed them to the two pets. I smiled contentedly as I watched them feast.
Not far away, a group of people who had eaten breakfast put on their own animal skin clothes. The clothes are made in the style of Tinki's lizard leather armor, which is very convenient and fast, but the arms will be a little cold. And the pants Ding Qi really didn't have time to make that style, so he had to make it similar to stockings, the kind with straps - suspenders. However, it was looser, and was tied around the waist with a strap over the legs, and on the outside was their original animal skin skirt. On their feet are their simple animal leather shoes, all kinds of strange shapes.
This group of people, regardless of men and women, have all become primitive people wearing animal skin clothes, animal skin skirts, leg covers, animal skin socks, and animal leather shoes. It's just that the appearance of those men collectively digging their crotches is really unsightly.
Tinch asks what is the situation?
Ben replied truthfully: "The fur of the animal is hard, the skin is outside, the hair is inside, and it is panicked!" ”
Ding Qi took another look at the women who had endured so hard, covered his face and walked away.
Twenty people in the crowd carried a half-basket of coarse salt, and four or five fish were placed through a layer of yellow leaves. The others, who did not carry salt, carried eight or nine large fish as food on the way back, while Ben carried other odds and ends, including fishing nets and Ding Qi's cooking utensils.
As for the by-products of boiling salt, they are all thrown into the river, leaving no trace, and will not leave room for the reverie of the Li tribe, and now this technology is still in their own hands.
And the rock of the Graystone tribe was trembling and coming out of the force tribe at this time, his eyes were black, and he almost fell. As a guest of the tribe, of course, he also enjoyed the same treatment as Ben, except that the two women who were not satisfied with Ding Qi received more from the rock. Well, that's a lot, and that's why the rock hasn't been there for the past two days.
Gentle Township, Hero's Tomb!
Under the gaze of all the tribesmen, Ding Qi turned over and got on his horse, followed by the little cutie on the left side, holding the golden eagle in his right hand, and the clansmen in two rows followed closely with baskets on their shoulders and spears in their right hands, and ran towards the direction of the Gray Stone tribe.
The leader of the Blue Tiger and the Golden Elephant Doctor Wu watched them go away, and seeing a small group of people like Ding Qi walking out of the mighty momentum, the two of them had an illusion in their hearts: such Ding Qi is like a god and a man, and only a god can be protected by a beast!
The two looked frightened and looked at each other, could it be that he was Aragami?
The daughter-woman of the leader, who was also standing at the front of the crowd, looked at Tinki's back from behind and muttered to herself:
"This is a real man, this is the big hero in my mind!"
Then he shouted:
"Leader Ding, I'm going to be your woman!"
Ding Qi, who was riding on Xiao Erhei's back and walking with his head, heard this shout, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, remembering the face that had scared him all night, he quickly clamped the horse's belly, and rushed out in an instant, never daring to look back. Even Xiao Erhei, who felt Ding Qi's fear, trembled, as if there was a saber-toothed tiger behind him, his four hooves flew and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Well, it should be the female, I heard the owner muttering that the tigress is the most powerful!
Ding Qi, who was galloping on a fast horse, kept recalling the conversation he had with the Golden Elephant Doctor before he set off.
"Golden Elephant Doctor Witch, legend has it that Aragami can lead all tribes to live a carefree life, but if Aragami is still very weak and needs the support of various tribes, will your power tribe contribute?"
In fact, it's no wonder that the two leaders of the Li tribe can't recognize the identity of Ding Qi Aragami, but his current dress is different from the legend. Of course, Ding Qi can't come out in those easily recognizable clothes at any time, it's winter now, it's cold!
The Witch said something ambiguous:
"If Aragami is as legendary, we'll support you!"
As the legend says, it seems that I still have a long way to go! Tinch, come on!
In the wilderness, the primitive people in two long rows ran forward at a constant speed, and at first some people were left behind, unable to keep up with the speed of the group, but under the reprimand and guidance of one of the leaders, they slowly followed.
Behind the leader, there were two horses, the black horse carrying a heavy load, and the gray horse carrying a person.
This is exactly what Ding Qi is doing with the new members of the tribe for a long distance to carry weights, in order to improve their physical fitness.
In fact, the physical fitness of human beings in primitive societies is good, at least higher than the physical fitness standards of modern people. Why? Primitive humans were on the move every day for food, walking more than 10,000 steps a day just to find food, not to mention the short sprints to avoid dangerous animals. People who are not strong in athleticism have long been eliminated by the ruthless nature, and those who remain or survive are the survival masters of primitive societies.
But why didn't primitive humans live long?
Because they have to face the threat of predators at any time, and they also have to deal with natural disasters, hunger, disease, cold and even man-made disasters. Humans are at the bottom of nature's food chain, and share the same fate as most herbivores.
Just like this group of people, their original identity was slavery, and they lived a precarious life every day, they went to danger and hunting, and they had to do all kinds of hard work, but they ate the worst. Although it is better in the Li tribe, the only people who can be traded and survive are those who are physically strong and young enough to adapt to this environment.
Everyone is carrying a weight and carrying a basket behind them. At first, these people were still wearing animal skin pants on their legs, but after running for a long time, their legs were all bare, only wearing an animal skin skirt and an animal skin shoulder on their upper body. The weather in early winter, but it came out of the feeling of summer, sweating profusely.
Near noon, Ding Qi stopped the team by a small river to rest, and while arranging for Ben to take five people to hunt, he took out the clay pot in Ben's back basket and arranged for his life to be boiled and grilled with water. Ding Qi has told everyone not to drink raw water anymore, even if they are thirsty, they must wait for the water to boil and warm before drinking.
As for why they went hunting, of course, it was because they only had enough food on their backs for two days, and they still had to replenish their meat at any time. Especially this kind of long-distance training has to be carried out on the entire return journey, and it is not possible to let people eat enough.
When everyone's sweat was almost down, Ding Qi hurriedly asked everyone to put on animal skin clothes on their bodies, so as not to catch a cold.
At this time, the water is also boiled, pour the water into two pottery bowls, and when the fish is cooked, the water can also be drunk, although it is not much, but it is enough for everyone to replenish some water, and when the journey is set, add a part, which can support everyone to camp at night.
Ding Qi was very satisfied with the people in front of him, and he was able to do the order and forbid, even if he spoke quietly. But from their behavior, it also reflects the cruelty of the other side. They have learned to obey their masters' orders in the midst of countless sticks, and if they do not do what is required, what awaits them is fists, kicks, clubs, and even blood and death. Only by being obedient and doing what they are told can they not be beaten, and if they are not beaten, they will not be hurt, and if they are not injured, they will increase their chances of survival.
This is also a philosophy of survival!
No, Ben came back with five or six men carrying a sika deer and a horned sheep. Although there is food, it should be very happy to be able to get such a big prey in the early winter, especially since these five people have also seen an artifact that they will never forget and can hunt wild beasts from a long distance.
This is something they can't understand, and it should be something that they should be excited about and worth showing off to everyone. But in Ben's sentence "Keep it secret, no one is allowed to say it, no one is allowed to discuss, and everyone will have a tool like this if they behave well", and they really kept their mouths shut and did not mention everything they just saw to anyone. They hide their excitement and excitement in the depths of their hearts, looking forward to the day when they too can have this sharp hunting tool.
Seeing that a deer had been caught, Ding Qi hurriedly asked Ben and the other five to drink the warm water in the two bowls, and then took out a straight knife and cut the artery on the deer's neck with the rock of the Graystone tribe on his back, and a lot of deer blood flowed out.
Ding Qi took a full bowl, and quickly let people drink it, three sips per person, until everyone, including Yan, had drunk the blood of the deer, and there was still a small half bowl of blood from the deer, which Ding Qi drank in one go.
Ding Qi drank deer blood once before, and it was an activity arranged by the leader of the unit when he participated in an outward bound training. When the leader speaks, they must all drink, and the men and women of the employees of the unit drink them all. Some people didn't want to drink, including Ding Qi, when he watched the deer being cut in unbearable pain and screaming in grief, watching those people drinking deer blood, sharing the taste of deer blood with their mouths full of blood, and not caring about the roar of the owner of the deer blood, Ding Qi's mind was full of sadness.
He is a contented person who does not want to put a butcher's knife out of a wild animal or put his own happiness above the suffering of animals while solving the problem of food and clothing. When he went out on a mission before, he also faced this situation of killing wild animals, but as a soldier, he had to obey orders and complete the task as the premise, and all other means were auxiliary means to complete the task.
But he can't help but drink, but he has to bow to the reality of society, and he still needs a job to support himself.
