In fact, all of this is still the word "survival" of human beings at work. Whether it is the grievances between the Yue tribe and the Shannan and Xia tribes, or between the two tribes of Hai and Bei, they are inseparable from the word survival. It's all about making your tribe survive better, so as to achieve the purpose of making your own survival better.

But in order to survive, it is necessary to lose the interests of others. The conflict of interests eventually leads to strife, even war.

At this time, Ding Qi is also fighting for his own survival purpose. It's just that his purpose is to make the tribe's life better and achieve his goal of making more people's lives worry-free.

Ding Qi had already led the team of fifty people to Tong Village, accompanied by Chinese cabbage and some daily necessities. There were some twists in this trip, one was that when he arrived at Lu Village, the exchange place, he found that there were too many coarse salt and other materials stored there, so Ding Qi arranged for the people left behind there to immediately send two people to the Ding tribe, and then sent three squads of soldiers and two horses to deliver the supplies back to Ningcheng. At the same time, he told the person in charge of Lu Village that when people came to Yan Village, they would have them transport half of the coarse salt produced to Lu Village, and the other half would exchange it with the tribes by establishing a caravan.

Second, on the way to Tongcun, I encountered a team of more than 30 people migrating to the south. Ding Qi stepped forward to inquire about the reason, saying that there was a great drought in the north, especially in the north, where the world-extinguishing fire occurred, and the drought was even worse. Except for the tribes around the river, the survival of the tribes has not been greatly affected, and the other tribes have found ways to relocate. In order to survive, their tribe had no choice but to migrate south, hoping to find a place to stay.

It's just that they didn't expect that they had too little food and water to get in the area of the world-destroying fire, and they were attacked by fierce beasts that also migrated, causing most of their tribe to lose their lives.

Ding Qi asked them if they would like to join their Ding tribe, so that they would have enough food and hides to survive the winter, but they did not expect that the other party would not hesitate to refuse this tempting offer.

However, Ding Qi was not discouraged, and he immediately sent a team of five people to camp on the spot to prepare food and persuade the passing tribes. Anyone willing to join the tribe would be given food, animal skins, clothing, and shelter, and Tinch would regularly arrange for people to come and check on them.

Arriving at Tongcun, Ding Qi and his party did not dare to rest, and after unloading the materials, under the leadership of Baiya, Fox, Lao Hei and Ge and others, they went directly to the growing place of Kudzu to prepare to harvest Kudzu. Now the earth has not frozen, and the growth of kudzu has reached its peak, no longer absorbing nutrients, preparing for winter, and the nutrients inside are the most.

When you come to the place where the kudzu grows, you can't see any wild scenes, it's like coming to a farmstead, where shelves are erected, and there are vines crawling on them, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

"Wow! That's too much, isn't it? ”

Ding Qi was a little shocked, he didn't expect these people to be able to toss out so many kudzu shelfs, and they looked a lot neater.

White Fang and Fox gave up their place next to Ge, and he explained it to the leader.

Ge hesitated slightly, but quickly stepped to Ding Qi's side, pointed to the shelves and replied:

"Leader, this is all a group of us old guys who are usually fine, and they set up together."

Ge is very modest and does not take all the honor on himself.

"Usually we come to collect kudzu, and when we see that the kudzu vines are too scattered all over the mountains, we will build the vines together according to the shelves you have built. It's also convenient to put it up this way

We harvest kudzu, so it's all your credit. ”

Ge slapped his ass silently, causing Ding Qi to laugh inexplicably.

"Haha! Ge, you bad old man! Who did you learn from, but the hand of patting the sycophants is perfect! ”

The people around also laughed when they heard Ding Qi say this.

"Zhuang, arrange for people to set up tents on the spot, and send another squad of warriors to hunt, and we will live here for a while."

White Fang and the fox hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the leader, hoping that the leader could live in the village, but Ding Qi refused.

"If you don't want to go, bring twenty people and come and dig kudzu with us. The work of smelting copper can't be relaxed, you two don't have to come over, Lao Hei, the soldiers of your squad just come over to boil water and cook. ”

After arranging these things in a word, White Fang and Fox stopped persuading, and turned their heads to let the excited old black go back and call someone over. Lao Hei was excited because the leader asked him to bring someone to stay and help, which shows that the leader values himself!

Ding Qi actually didn't want the arrival of himself and others to affect the existing life in Tongcun, and being with them would inevitably have a greater impact on their work and life.

Seeing that it was still early, Ding Qi returned to Tong Village under the leadership of Bai Ya, Fox and others, and checked the appearance of Tong Village.

Under the protection of a ring of walls, Tongcun has built rows of houses according to the model of Ningcheng, and there are fire kangs. A small dragon hall was also built in the north wall of the village, enshrined in the tribal totem dragon, and a small square for everyone to gather for meetings.

The most important materials for the copper village and the smelted copper plates are all piled up in warehouses one by one, neatly and neatly. The various tools and weapons cast are managed and distributed by special personnel, and the canteen, workshop, bathhouse, etc. are all available, just like a small Ning City.

At the four corners of the village, a soldier with a dog stood guard to protect the safety of Tong Village. There was also a small group of five soldiers, each with a dog on their hands, patrolling the village to prevent anyone from jumping in and causing trouble.

As for the outside of the village, except for the road to the mine, there is no vegetation in the surrounding area of 200 meters, which is a faithful implementation of Ding Qi's defensive thinking, and the defense is done to the extreme. Do not seek merit, but seek no fault.

As the sky gradually darkened, outside the gate of the village, a group of slaves were entering the village under the watchful eye of the soldiers, and after neatly arranging the tools on a tool table behind the gate, they lined up to wash and eat.

In the group of slaves, Ugin, a captured child from the Ugin tribe, couldn't help but shudder when he saw Ding Qi not far away. He still remembered Ding Qi's punishment, so he quickly made a report and ran to Ding Qi alone to say hello.

"Good Boss!"

After saying hello, Ugin said no more words and waited for Tinch to speak.

Looking at the young man in front of him who had shed his youth and had a little sense of stability, Ding Qi nodded and said:

"Hmmm! Yes, I remember your name was Ugin, and you had a good makeover here. I believe that it won't be long before the Ugin tribe will become a part of the Ding tribe, and you will be as free as other Ding tribe members! ”

Ugin's heart was cold, but he didn't dare to answer, and hurriedly bent down to show his obedience, but his heart was like a river, and he became more and more in awe of Ding Qi.

On the other side, a group of thirty warriors was already ready to go, and they came to White Fang's side under the leadership of their squad leader, carrying pottery, tents, etc., waiting for the summons. The fox did not follow, but stayed in Tongcun according to Ding Qi's arrangement, ready to welcome Ding Qi and them back. Ding Qi still wants to make sake in Tongcun! All kinds of large-scale pottery stored in the cave kiln have been arranged by Ding Qi a long time ago.

For the next period of time, Ding Qi led a large group of people to dig kudzu, which would be transported back to Tongcun by Baiya every other day, cleaned and dried in a centralized manner, and then piled up on some large plaques made of wattles, waiting for Ding Qi's next arrangement.

The leader of the Aoki tribe, Nan, suffered a relatively large crisis of confidence.

Nan confessed his intention to lead the entire tribe to join the Ding tribe to the Witch Spruce, hoping to get the Witch's support. Unexpectedly, after hearing his plan, he immediately jumped up and scolded Nan, claiming that Nan was a traitor to the tribe.

Since then, there has been an unpleasant quarrel between Nan and the Doctor Witch, and the tribe has even been divided into two parts, half of which support Nan, such as the first hunter Cangsong and others to support the leader Nan. The other part of the population is very much around the Witch and supports the Witch's claim.

Nan was the most depressed, and he didn't know why he had promised to support him to join the Witch of Aragami during this period of time.

But he knew that he couldn't let the two sides fight, because it was all from the Aoki tribe. But there are always people who want to jump out to challenge Nan's authority and question Nan's ability. But the doctor witch spruce allowed these people to do nonsense, and sometimes even fanned the flames to cheer up his own group.

Spruce's approach undoubtedly increased the confidence of his team, and they were even more unscrupulous in doing things. Some people began to deceive people, belittled the Aoki tribe and declared that the leader was a great traitor; Someone began to rob the tribe of people, claiming that it was all created by everyone and should be owned by individuals.

If Tinche were standing here and heard someone say that he wanted to grab it, he would definitely jump up with joy. By doing so, Tinch was able to capture the group, and the disobedient would never be part of their own tribe.

The old god of spruce treated this confrontation on the spot, and he ignored it in the later stage. However, after an attack during a standoff, the spruce appeared.

Spruce appeared at the scene with the leader Nan, and the two talked as they walked, and the atmosphere was harmonious, so that the two groups of people who were fighting were a little confused about the leader.

What's the situation? The two reconciled?

Spruce doesn't care about the opinions of the people around him, and his mouth keeps telling Nan about the situation of the tribe and the warmth that this time has brought to the Aoki tribe.

Perception of the standoff event.

"Nan, that's all I can help you with. Anyone who jumps out and says bad things about you and participates in the tribal smashing and looting, I will write them all down. These people are unstable elements in the tribe, and they need to be eliminated to maintain the purity of the tribe. ”

Nan listened to Spruce's explanation, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, but she could only accept the gift that Spruce gave herself.

These people were quickly purged out of the tribe, and as for the method of purging, naturally those people would not be made slaves. Nan led the tribe to work hard to accumulate more food, firewood, animal skins, etc., and after the hunting day, the Ding tribe gave himself five or six axes, but it brought a lot of warmth to the Aoki tribe on cold days.
