Soon, the people came to the Horse Hunting Tribe, the tribe in the basin. Some tribal warriors had already run back to report the news to the tribal leaders and higher-ups. Surrounded by everyone, the tribal leader personally came to the outside of the tribe to greet him.

Ding Qi was on the back of the horse behind the cang, and saw that the leader of the tribe could go out to greet him according to inter-tribal etiquette, which showed that the tribe was a relatively orthodox tribe and could be reassured. In his heart, the voyeuristic behavior of their tribesmen before him was slightly less resistant.

When the people of the Ding tribe saw the leader of the horse hunting tribe come out to greet them, they dismounted and led the horses over to show respect.

"Welcome guests from afar! I'm the leader of the Horse Hunting tribe, Heavy Hoof! ”

The leader of the hunting horses was tall and burly, with a loud voice, and he walked majestically. Seeing the arrival of the guests, he first clasped his right hand and saluted, welcoming the guests of the Ding tribe loudly, and his voice was not in a hurry.

Cang and the people of the Ding tribe behind him also hurriedly returned the salute.

"Hello Heavyhoof Chief. I am a warehouse from the Dongfang Ding tribe, I am the hunting captain of the tribe, passing by your tribe, there are many disturbances. ”

"Warriors, you're welcome. Since ancient times, my horse hunting tribe has lived by hunting horses and herbivores in this grassland. Horses have always had a strong temper and would rather die because we know that horses cannot be tamed. It's a shock to see you all coming on horseback! ”

When Heavy Hoof saw the horses behind the people of the Ding tribe, he couldn't take his eyes off it. Smooth and shiny fur, slender limbs, tall body, strong muscles, good health. At first glance, you can tell that they are good at running, and they are not the best horses in good health and above that the warriors of their own tribe can capture.

The people of the horse hunting tribe look at horses from their instincts and needs. Whether they are running fast or not, whether they are sick or injured, whether they are young or old, they can tell when they raise their eyes. In order to catch horses and eat meat, they mostly capture old horses, weak horses, and even disabled horses.

As soon as the herd arrived, they were able to pick out the horses from the herd, and then send someone to drive them and drive them to their own ambush encirclement, where they could finally be subdued.

If there is a tribe in the Great Wilderness who dares to say that it understands horses second, no tribe dares to say first. This is a talent of the tribe of horse hunters, innate. It's not that they don't understand horses, it's that their needs are different. They will take out the good horses, put them aside, and focus on the old and weak horses. It's like a predator, picking on the old and the weak.

Therefore, when the leader Heavy Hoof saw these ten horses, his eyes lit up and he liked them. There is a kind of aggression in his eyes, domineering, wanting to get the other party, saying the same thing.

Without giving Cang a chance to speak, the Heavyhoof Leader immediately said:

"This warrior, I don't know if I can make an exchange, exchange these horses with my tribe, whatever you want, take your pick!"

With a wave of his big hand, there was a feeling of scolding Fang Xuan, which probably meant that he felt that he could win. I haven't invited guests into the tribe yet, so I want to exchange here, which is domineering enough!

Cang smiled slightly, and did not say anything about the exchange proposal of the heavy hoof, but laughed and said without being soft or hard:

"Heavyhoof Chief, you're in the same hurry as your tribe's men! Ahh ”

The calm and powerful laughter was loud and spread all around, attracting the attention of many people, which also made Heavy Hoof frown slightly, as if he didn't quite understand what the other party meant when he said that he was as anxious as his men.

Could it be that when they saw these Ding tribesmen, they also demanded the same from each other? Well, it seems that the tail can do some more important things, but the most important thing at the moment is to exchange these horses.

"The guests from afar have already come to the venerable horse hunting tribe, shouldn't the hosts invite the guests into the tribe first?"

Cang said euphemistically again

, which made Heavy Hoof slightly stunned, understanding that the other party was reminding him that he had been rude.

"Haha, Captain Cang, that's right. Welcome to the Horse Hunter Tribe, please! ”

The heavy hoof body is slightly to the right, and the right hand is raised to make a gesture.

Cang Ze stepped forward and grabbed the arm of the heavy hoof, and walked towards the horse hunting tribe together. The people of the Ding tribe and a group of people from the horse hunting tribe entered the tribe together, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Ding Qi, on the other hand, signaled the warriors of the horse hunting tribe next to him to go first, and he walked into the horse hunting tribe with his hands behind his back behind his back.

The Horse Hunting tribe has a nomadic tribal style that Ding Qi is more familiar with. There was no fence around the perimeter of the tribe, and all of them were enclosed in a large open space with horseskin tents, which were both a place to live and a barrier for protection. This barrier consists of three tents, each with a two-meter-wide passage between them, and everyone enters and exits from the tribe entrance, which is also the entrance to the defense.

On both sides of the entrance, two large piles of dried cow dung, about three meters high, were piled up, which was fuel for the entire tribe and could be used as a means of defense in case of crisis. According to the people of the Hunting Horse tribe who passed by, everyone in their tribe, whether adults or children, as long as they went out, would go to pick up a piece of dry cow dung and come back, and the cow dung pile would be bigger and taller in winter. As for some firewood, it is usually burned very little, and only when it snows heavily, a little is stocked up for the use of the chieftain and the witch.

In the middle of the vast clearing, on the north side, there was a large tent, where the chieftain and the witch dwelled and rested. In front of the tent, there was a pile of dried cow dung burning quietly, no flame in sight, but green smoke curling, apparently burning inside, a way for the Horse Hunter tribe to keep the fire.

Ling and the others were sitting on either side of the big tent, watching the barn in the middle and the leader of the horse hunting tribe, Heavy Hoof, talking.

By this time, the tent was already open, and the light shone in, illuminating the inside. An old figure was slowly walking out with a cane supported by a young man.

The leader of the heavy hoof turned around and saluted the old man, and the people of the Ding tribe behind Cang also saluted the old man at the same time, including Ding Qi, who had just arrived.

Respect for witches is a must for every tribesman. They are the inheritors of the spiritual civilization of the tribe, the conveyors of the will of God, and the messengers of God. If you don't respect the witch, you will be thrown into the fire and burned! Although the Ding tribe has begun to weaken the image of the witch, it is also slowly changing, and there is also the authority of Ding Qi Aragon there, no one dares to say that Ding Qi is not.

Heavy Hoof would like to introduce to you:

"Friends from afar, this is the medicine witch Pegasus respected by our Horse Hunting Tribe, he is the one who has seen horses flying in the sky, and he is also the oldest and wisest person in the Horse Hunting Tribe!"

They saluted the sorcerer Pegasus again, and said:

"On behalf of Ding Qi, the leader of the Ding tribe's doctor witch deer, I would like to extend my highest respect to the most respected doctor witch! This is a pottery specialty of our tribe that can be used to boil meat and water, and is best used by the elderly. ”

As soon as Kura raised his hand, two warriors appeared in front of the medicine witch Pegasus with clay pots and bowls, gently placed the pottery on the ground, and then retreated to its original place.

Pegasus and Heavy Hoof were slightly stunned, not understanding why this thing was so precious and became a gift to another tribe. But they also have good self-cultivation, smiling slightly and bowing their heads to express their gratitude.

They don't care, and when they know the true meaning of pottery, they'll beg for their own.

After nodding to everyone, the Doctor Witch Pegasus said in a hoarse voice:

"Welcome guests from afar and thank you very much for the gifts. I heard that you came on horseback, and what I want to see most at this time is the horse you are riding, can you show me? ”

Cang glanced in Ding Qi's direction, nodded, and motioned for them to go with him to watch. All the people of the Ding tribe

Stay where you are, only Tinch followed.

But the attention of the heavy hoof and the pegasus was on the healthy horses, and they ignored that two of the people of the Ding tribe were setting up a clay pot on the dry cow dung fire, pouring water on it, and began to cook the broth.

"Ahh These horses are too miraculous, this is the horse we have been looking for for a long time and never been able to catch, and it is not at all comparable to those old and weak horses in the horse circle! ”

The first time Pegasus saw these horses, his excitement was palpable. He couldn't describe his mood in words, so he could only mumble "Good horse!" Good horse! ”。

Heavy Hoof stepped forward and said to the warehouse:

"Captain Cang, can you let me ride it?"

"No problem!"

Cangdang is about to lead a gray horse in front of him and teach Heavy Hoof how to ride.

As clever as a tribal leader, Heavy Hoof quickly mastered how to ride a horse. With the advantage of his height, sit on horseback with the help of the barn.

The gray horse barked, obviously uncomfortable with the stranger, but Cang quickly stepped in to calm it down.

"Drive!"

Heavy Hoof's legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the gray horse slowly walked forward, and under the control of Heavy Hoof, ran towards the outside of the tribe. Fearing for the safety of the heavy hoof, Cang dragged his chestnut horse and turned over slightly, and the horse rushed over.

"Roar!"

The cheers of heavy hooves could be heard in the distance, which made Ding Qi smile slightly. Didn't you learn to ride a horse for the first time in the army? Turning around, he did not disturb the doctor, and accompanied him there to touch the horse, and touched the horse, and looked fascinated, until a smell of fragrance came into his nostrils.

"Huh? What does it taste like? Why is it so tempting? ”

The sorcerer, who was watching the horse, paused his touching hand and his nose twitched, as if searching for the source of the delicacy.

Tinch coughed lightly, drawing the witch's attention, and then reached out and motioned for the witch Pegasus to return to the tent with him. Pegasus found that the closer he got to the tent, the stronger the enticing scent, and he felt like his mouth was watering without a few teeth.

There's an old saying: if you want to keep a man's heart, you have to find a way to keep his stomach. For primitive people who have no condiments and no cooking utensils, the dry and black barbecue has only one effect, which is to fill their stomachs, and it is impossible to enhance their yearning for food. Therefore, they could not refuse the cooked food at all, just as cooked meat was tempted by early humans a long time ago.

In the end, Pegasus, who had changed from walking slowly to trotting, quickly found the source of the scent. At this time, as he walked through the crowd, saliva could not stop leaking from his shriveled mouth. His eyes were fixed on the boiling clay pot, motionless, only his throat sliding up and down.

Behind the doctor, in front of the tent, there was already a circle of people, all swallowing saliva.

Pegasus turned his head with difficulty, looked at the nice boy in front of him, and stammered and asked:

"This ...... What is it? Too...... It's so fragrant! ”

Ding Qi couldn't help laughing and replied:

"This is a broth, made from the pottery that was given to you! Captain Cang said just now that this pottery is most suitable for the elderly of the tribe, which can feed the old people. ”

"Really? It's really made of pottery! It's amazing! In the future, I will be able to eat some meat without having to slowly consume the roast meat with those few teeth in my mouth. ”

Pegasus's face was flushed with excitement, and he wanted to take a sip of soup immediately, but before he could reach for his hand, he was forced back by a wave of heat.

"Pegasus Doctor, please wait a moment, you can drink it when the soup is cold."

Tinch quickly pulled the witch away, helped him to sit on a rock, and motioned for the warrior to serve a bowl of broth in a clay bowl, the pieces of which were already cooked.
