Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 292 Blocking the Road
Moo chatted with Nest, the leader of the nest tribe, Nest, and told each other about the previous and current living patterns of the Ding tribe, and offered to help them build a yard and house that could defend against the invasion of fierce beasts for free, so that their lives would be easier and safer.
At first, Nestlé was a little unconvinced, believing that it was not as safe as where they now lived, and was skeptical of Moo's way of living in a besieged city. But after much explanation and action, setting up the hunter's hut and using the weapons in his hand to chase away or kill some of the beasts, Nestlé finally agreed to build a yard and a house to live in in the surrounding woods.
The population of the nest tribe is not large, the population is about 100 people, and the surrounding trees are all nests or tree houses built by them, which are densely packed like birds' nests. It is about five or six meters above the ground, and the height of the tree house is mainly determined by the height of the branches.
Nestle told Moo that their ancestors were inspired by birds to build nests in trees. They have a strong ability to climb trees, five or six meters high, and can come up in a breath, both men and women, except for the older and youngest. For the elderly, the last third of their lives can only be spent in a treehouse, although they also want to go back to life on the surface.
The arrival of the Ding tribe gave the Youchao tribe hope to return to life on the ground.
Mainly because they don't have the right tools to cut down the trees, and they have to cut the trunks into sections, which takes more time and energy than a simple tree house. Even if you have enough stone axes on hand, you won't be able to withstand a lot of use. And now in this society, there is no stone saw, and even if there is, the difference between stone sawed wood and metal sawn wood is not half a star.
The shock of seeing the Ding tribesmen led by Moo holding bronze saws and bronze axes there to quickly cut wood was overwhelming. Looking at the stone axe in his hand, and then looking at the sharp, cutting trees like folding sticks, Nestlé was crying inside.
Afraid of being stimulated again, he grabbed the hanging vines from the treehouse, climbed up in three or two clicks, and lay down in the somewhat awkward treehouse. I was entangled in one thing, should I kill these people from the Ding tribe and snatch their bronze tools?
Irritatedly rising, he stretched out his head and shouted:
"Hive, come here!"
After a while, Nestlé felt the treehouse shake, and a figure landed in front of it.
"Chief, are you looking for me?"
The man named Beehive first saluted Nestlé and then questioned his leader.
Nestle first secretly looked down, and after seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said to the hive:
"Hive, have you seen the tools and weapons used by these people of the Ding tribe, what do you think?"
The hive saw that its leader spoke in a low voice, and immediately understood the other party's intentions.
"Chief, these tools and weapons are good, the speed of cutting and sawing trees is very fast, and the shovel that can dig the earth, the digging speed is really fast, but it is better than us digging with sticks! There is also the kind of knife that can cut the knife, and with a slight stroke, the animal skin will be cut open, and it is very neat. It's like we finally caught a rabbit, and after peeling it, the skin will become wisps. ”
When the hive said this, his eyes rolled, and he leaned into the leader and whispered:
"Chief, are you trying to snatch their things?"
After speaking, a grab-and-cut gesture was made, so that the leader could also see it clearly.
Nestle nodded, signaling that he meant the same thing, but he was still struggling.
"This Ding tribe is good, it seems that it should be a big tribe on their side. It's just that in this way, we have to be prepared for people to come and retaliate before we do it. At least they were able to come to our tribe twice, and they had so many useful tools, weapons, and horses that carried people, that our tribe could not afford to provoke them. And, as you should have noticed, they are all tall and muscular, and if you look at our small body, let's be honest, the odds are
Not too! ”
"Besides, the leader of their tribe is the Aragami, a name that has been passed down in the Great Wilderness since the Great Fire. Since it's Aragami, it must have means that we don't know! ”
The hive could understand what the leader meant, and could see that the other party was hesitant. It's just that from the perspective of tribal strength, this mind really can't be had. Especially when I think of the Aragami I've never seen before, I look worried and afraid.
"Alas!"
Nestle looked up to the sky and sighed, resting his thoughts.
"Go, go over and help. Before they leave, see what you can exchange for the axes and saws in their hands. ”
After saying that, Nestle walked out of the tree house first, plucked a fruit from a nearby branch, grabbed a vine while eating, and landed next to Moo at once, helping to fill the trunk with soil and compact.
The hive followed closely.
Because the nest tribe lives on the treehouse, the food collection is mainly around, even if it is exchanged, it is a tribe called Bei in the southeast for about ten days, and it rarely travels west, so there is a lack of communication with the Yuanyu tribe.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two sides had in-depth exchanges and exchanged information held by both sides. This is also a tradition of communication between tribes, and it cannot be left alone. In particular, I also know a lot about the tribe called Bei and the surrounding tribes that Nestle said.
Of course, in addition to this kind of exchange, the strong guys also held in-depth communication activities with the women of the nest tribe, leaving countless beautiful conversations. And Moo is to explain to the group of single young men under his command, and his communication partner must remember, what if there is a nest tribe to join the Ding tribe? Isn't that the solution to the problem of singleness? It's really not good, you can also come to the door to propose!
Three days later, the large courtyard of the Youchao tribe was built, fifty meters long and wide, and a total of six large houses were built in three rows in front and back, which was enough for their entire tribe to live, and there was still a relatively large space in the courtyard for their activities. And, in order to take care of their habit of living in trees for a long time, there is a large tree in the middle of the last row of two houses, which can be easily climbed to the tree house above with the help of a wooden ladder. Through this treehouse, they were able to walk through all the treehouses they had built before, and Shengsheng more than doubled the space they had to move around.
They were given a stove, a clay pot, and a precautions for using fire in winter, so that they would not be suffocated inside. They were taught how to weave rattan baskets to hold items, how to use straight hooks to fish, and how to set traps to catch small animals, expanding the means of survival of nest tribes.
It took a lot of effort to get the whole job, but Moo felt it was worth it. This is the easiest way to start the popularity of Aragami and Ding Chief Gongshao, although it only takes some physical strength, but the status of the Ding tribe and Aragami in their minds will not be replaced by any tribe, and it is very likely that these people may become a member of their own tribe.
Before leaving, Moo exchanged with the Nest tribe and gave them three pots and thirty pottery bowls. As for the things exchanged, mainly some dried fruits and hides, which were said to be taken with them when they returned. Moreover, the Youchao tribe prepared two baskets of dried fruits as a thank you to the Ding tribe.
Soon, a group of twenty people on horseback disappeared from the sight of Nestle and others, heading to the Ma tribe in the north of Youchao.
Since they had been to the Youchao tribe before, and the main purpose of this time was to go to the hemp tribe to obtain hemp seeds, the route they chose was to reach the Youchao tribe in a straight line, across the Fengyi tribe. After returning from the Ma tribe, go directly to the Shanrong tribe, and then turn back to the Youchao tribe, which is considered to be a triangular journey.
His gaze turned to Tinki's side.
After several days of trekking, a group of fifteen people crossed the tall grass and reached a valley.
Along the way, Ding Qi appreciated the beautiful and cruel side of the wilderness. The landscape scenery is picturesque, as if placed in a fairyland, birds fly deer Zhizhi, fish leap on the water surface ducks chirp, clouds and mist are swirling, trickling water, a quiet and peaceful scene. Optional
That is, this picture will be broken by a pack of hyenas, a lone leopard, an angry saber-toothed tiger, a roaring cave lion, etc. The scene suddenly became brutal and bloody, except for the sound of beasts swallowing food, and occasionally a fight or two over a small piece of meat.
In addition to these, Ding Qi and the others also found quite a few medicinal herbs. For example, the big green leaf clears heat and detoxifies, cools the blood and stops bleeding, the chrysanthemum soothes the wind and brightens the eyes, the bupleurum relieves fever and analgesia, and the rehmannia reduces inflammation and diuresis. Like purslane, plantain, thistle, gray cabbage, bitter dice, astragalus, etc. can be seen everywhere, if it weren't for Ding Qi's familiarity with these ordinary herbs, it is estimated that they would treat these as weeds.
However, the discovery of these herbs made Yun so happy that as long as he rested, he would take out the collected herbs to dry, which made Ding Qi and the others scramble, as if they had become Yun's helpers.
However, this rush is still very rewarding. In addition to the single flavor medicine, it also consists of a compound medicine: Pudilan, which is composed of dandelion, bitter dice, banyan root, and skullcap, which can be anti-inflammatory and reduce swelling. Not to mention that there are also bupleurum antipyretic, and large and small thistles can treat traumatic bleeding.
Among them, thistle and purslane are the herbs that Ding Qi is most familiar with.
When I was a child, after winter and in spring, many people peeled their hands very badly, and their families would take the large and small thistles that had just grown in spring and rub them on the palms of their hands, which could quickly reduce the symptoms.
Peeling is caused by a lack of vitamins caused by the human body rarely eating green vegetables throughout the winter, and there is also a situation in which human blood fever in the spring can also cause the palms to peel. The effect of thistle to stop bleeding and cool blood is just symptomatic, and the vitamins contained in the stems and leaves can directly act on the affected area and reduce symptoms.
As for purslane, not to mention, many people can say that they are a rabbit. And like thistles, they can also be eaten as wild vegetables.
Along the way, Ding Qi let everyone drink purslane soup, koji vegetable and meat paste, etc., so that they could feast their mouths, and admired Ding Qi's ability to make these things that they were difficult to swallow before into delicious.
The valley in front of me was not too wide, with green grass and a rushing stream running through it. The creek was littered with gravel on both sides, with the occasional large rock or two standing on the bank. On both sides of the valley in the distance, the roars of some apes were heard from time to time, making the whole valley lively.
After Xiao Erhei arrived here, he came to the stream to drink water, obviously very familiar with this place.
Ding Qi arranged for people to dismount and drink, and he took the warehouse around to check whether there was any trace of a large herd of horses. The little cutie is already too tired, and she has been running for most of the time, training all the fat it has raised in Ningcheng into muscles, and she looks a lot thinner. But only Ding Qi and Cang knew that the little cutie at this time was three points stronger than before.
At this time, it was close to noon, in order not to waste time, everyone just found a shady place to rest, and gnawed some dried meat with cold water to replenish body consumption.
Soon, everyone set off again and followed the big black horse forward. Since it is an unfamiliar section, it is to observe the surrounding situation while walking, so as not to encounter some large animals, such as elephants, woolly rhinoceros, etc., and I have encountered such large and ferocious animals several times on the road before, so as not to anger them.
For these creatures, Ding Qi has the attitude of protecting if he can, so as not to threaten their populations. As for the mammoth, Ding Qi has not seen it, and it is estimated that he has gone to the farther north.
After walking along the stream for more than an hour, the sharp-eyed Ding Qi suddenly stopped the team and dismounted and led everyone to hide behind a large rock.
Lizard!
Tinky found the same lizard he had killed in his place of residence, and the leather armor made of its skin was still worn on his body. But the lizard's fierce, bloodthirsty, cruel, rough-skinned appearance made a deep impression on Ding Qi.
At this moment, the lizards are lying on the big rocks by the stream in groups to bask in the sun. They're blocking the way of Tinki's party!
