Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 289 Salute First and Soldiers Later
The two men sent over stayed outside the city gate for a whole day, and they also saw the naked human body hanging from the tree pole, allowing them to see the cruel place on the other side of the Ding tribe. When they still couldn't get their hands on it, the two slowly turned back to the place where Bai Guo was lurking, and reported the information they saw to Bai Guo, and it was up to him to decide.
Bai Guo didn't expect that there would be another team that also came to fight the idea of the Ding tribe. He didn't know which big tribe would be like this besides his own tribe, and if he couldn't figure it out, he could only put his suspicions on the two tribes of Ugin and Houtu, and only the two tribes and his own tribe would attack the Li tribe together.
After lurking for a while, he found that the Ding tribe had strengthened its security precautions, and Bai Guo decided to return to the Aoki tribe with his men and the stone-throwing craftsman. Even though he was just a stone-thrower, he could also know a lot of information, such as what the stones looked like, what color they were, and I heard that they would have to be burned with fire, which was all useful information! Maybe the tools of the Ding tribe were obtained from these stones!
However, before returning to the tribe, he still has to meet with Cangsong, the first hunter of his tribe, at the exchange place of the Ding tribe, and then return to the tribe after exchanging some pottery, and his group will be able to go back openly.
The two groups of people left Ningcheng separately without meeting expectations, but also with a harvest, and Ben they once again strengthened the security protection of the tribe, and all the people who went out were protected by soldiers or militia, plowing and weeding and taking care of the rice fields, etc., which suddenly made the tribe's manpower feel a little insufficient.
As a last resort, Ben dedicates one-third of the slave warriors trained by the bear to work and reduces the frequency of work for those who go out to deal with possible attacks. Fortunately, the attackers did not destroy the crops in the fields outside the city, otherwise the tribe would have suffered a great loss.
A few days later, Ben led a team of thirty people to the exchange place to prepare for the third exchange event.
And Zhuang, who went to the cannibal tribe, had already come to the periphery of the cannibal tribe with two squads of warriors at this time.
The cannibal tribe is called a poisonous scorpion, and the leader is Kui, a primitive man who is taller and stronger than strong. It's just that after Ding Qi secretly killed a lot of his followers last time, he became less and less courageous, and he didn't dare to go out and attack other tribes at will. For the legendary Aragami, he was afraid and afraid in his heart, worried that the other party would kill his own tribe.
Sending people out to grab resources and population on a snowy day is a choice made by the tribe for its own survival. It's just that the two groups of people sent out haven't come back, which makes him panic all day long, especially in the last few days, there is always a voice in his heart telling himself that Aragami is coming!
Due to the lack of horses in the Ding tribe, the Zhuang group of 21 people only brought out ten horses, and immediately carried some supplies, including pottery, coarse salt, bamboo back baskets, dandelion tea and other items.
When Zhuang first arrived at the periphery of the tribe, he faintly felt that someone was peeping, which was the common sense he had learned from living in this tribe for a long time, and the scorpion tribe would arrange people to peep in the dense forest. Just like the mink that was caught by Moo before, they were captured when they were about to ambush them in the jungle.
The mink also returned to the scorpion tribe with Zhuang this time. There is a squad of warriors in the strong platoon who are prisoners from Moo, and there is also a squad that is an ordinary slave, and the weapon used by each person is an axe, which is jokingly called the Axe Gang by Ding Qi. One of the two classes in the Zhuang belt this time is a class led by Mink, which is composed of strong hunters drawn from the scorpion slaves.
Knowing that someone was watching, Zhuang motioned for the mink to step forward and let out a bird call that only the scorpion tribe knew, indicating that the other party was his own.
But the person hiding in the forest never appeared, which made Zhuang and Mink a little puzzled, could it be that they felt wrong?
At this time, in the woods, there were more than a dozen shirtless, disheveled hair, armed with wooden spears and stone axes, looking at those who seemed familiar and somewhat strange. The men had short hair, wore unknown animal skins, and were leading the kind of horses that were running fast, and they still had them on them
Many stone axes just look smoother and shining, and I don't know if they are sharper than my own stone axes.
Although the other party sent a communication signal that is commonly used in the tribe, they did not dare to be careless. There were two groups of people who had disappeared before, and one of them, the captain named Zhuang, looked really similar to the bald head in front of him! Is there anyone who looks this alike? Hey? Wrong! That bald head has a bald head, why does it look so much like a mink?
It can't really be that the two of them are back, and besides, the people around them have their own familiar people in it, but they are all bald, and they look more robust, not as thin as before.
Those who sense that something is wrong quickly turn around and go back to the tribe, whether the other party is friend or foe, they always report to the leader, and the leader has been talking about it!
Zhuang and Mink didn't wait long before they heard a commotion behind the jungle, and it seemed that a group of people were rushing towards it. Soon, the figure in the jungle in front of him flickered, and a tall and burly man walked out first, followed by a group of tribesmen with bare upper bodies and lower clothes in animal skin skirts and grass skirts, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, and walked out in a hurry.
Zhuang frowned, could this be his former clansman? This is too scattered, there is no discipline at all, and the soldiers of their own squad are estimated to be able to kill them all. Look at your own men, standing still, silent, but ready to attack.
"Alas, there is no comparison!"
The mink beside him muttered twice, which only Zhuang could hear, and nodded to show that he agreed with him.
The leader of the scorpion stood in front of the crowd, watching intently.
These people in front of him gave him a feeling of oppression, especially the two people in front of him were stronger than him. Strangely, some of these people gave him a sense of familiarity, especially the first two.
"Who are you? This is the landing of my poisonous scorpion department, and the trespasser is dead! ”
Kui was as domineering as ever, but he didn't rush over to kill his group of people at the first time, which shows that he is still a little jealous, and he doesn't dare to easily cause contradictions, hoping that his group of people can retreat from the difficulties.
Zhuang took two steps forward, clasped his chest with his right hand, saluted Kui, and said with a smile:
"Chief, don't you remember me? I'm strong! A strong man who often rushes to kill by your side! ”
Kui was stunned, obviously a little surprised, the person in front of him was too different from the Zhuang who had lost contact. Although he was about the same height, he was bare-headed, and his ruddy face was much more round than his previous angular, dark and thin face, and he wore animal skin clothes of a strange style but looked clean and tidy, and he still stepped on grass on his feet, as if he had grown on his feet.
That's not all, he has a bright and shiny unknown axe stuck in his waist, which looks much sharper than the axe used by everyone, and the sun reflects a dizzying cold light, but he can't take his eyes off it, and suck it in. Not to mention, there was a tall horse standing behind him, which no one could catch up with! He can have more than one horse, which is really enviable.
Although this person's eyebrows and eyes are the same as Zhuang, all these changes are too great, and people can't believe that he is Zhuang. That's right, the sound! They speak in the same tone!
Kui's face was incredible, and he couldn't help but say in a trembling voice:
"You, are you really strong?"
I can't blame Kui for not believing it, it's really too much of a change.
"Chief, I'm really strong. I remember, there's a dark spot (birthmark) on your golden hook butt next to you, am I right? ”
Before Kui could react, the man named Golden Hook next to him suddenly shouted:
"How is that possible? How did you come to know this secret? ”
Zhuang gave him a roll of his eyes, and his heart said that you can call it a secret?
The mink snorted, couldn't help it, and laughed.
"Golden Hook, you still have three hairs on that black spot, I'm right."
As soon as Mink finished speaking, the ten people of the original poisonous scorpion tribe behind him also laughed together, obviously they all knew that the black spot of the golden hook was not a secret in the tribe.
But he didn't expect that the golden hook was actually ignoring everyone's teasing, and he took a step back and stood behind Kui and whispered:
"Chief, it's strong, the other is to find the strong mink. They're back! ”
Kui's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said loudly:
"Is it really you? Strong? ”
An hour later, following the river outside the tribe to the flat meadow outside the tribe's cave, Zhuang led a group of people to salute the leader Kui and the doctor Voodoo Hook, and took out some pottery prepared by the leader of Ding Qi as a gift to Kui.
The two leaders of the scorpion tribe were a little puzzled, and they didn't know what Zhuang and Mink meant.
Zhuang motioned for the mink to take the clay pot out to cook the meat, and the meat used was naturally the rabbit and pheasant that he had just caught on the way.
As a tribesman, he knew the traditions of the scorpion tribe, and when a guest came, he would only take out the meat of those slaves to entertain guests, and he didn't want to eat his nails. In the words of the leader of Tinch, they have come to the civilized tribes, and in the civilized tribes they have to abandon those uncivilized and backward practices and customs, such as the traditions of the cannibal tribes. The leader also said that the cannibal tribe practices extreme practices in order to survive, and as long as there is enough food, they can return to normal tribal life.
Therefore, the leader's advice to himself is: salute first and then soldier. If they don't listen, then speak with their fists. To strengthen them is to give the scorpion tribe a chance to return to civilized society.
Zhuang chatted with two high-ranking tribal officials about his past.
When Zhuang talked about the people he led to occupy the Yu tribe, they were very happy and excited. When Zhuang talked about the people he was leading were killed by a man with an eagle and a lynx, they were shocked and especially afraid that the person would come again. When Zhuang talked about how he was taken away by that person to that person's tribe, and the food, clothing, and weapons, which had changed a lot, the two of them looked yearning. When Zhuang said that the mink was also captured by that person's subordinates and the people of the Yu tribe, they looked indignant, how could they be arrested by the people of the Yu tribe?
Soon, a scent permeated the entire cave. The people of the scorpion tribe soon became agitated and got up to find the source of the smell.
It's so fragrant!
In an instant, they all set their eyes on the clay pot where the mink was burning. Plumes of white mist came from above, and the scent wafted from it.
Everyone gathered around, staring intently at the white smoke and the bubbling flesh below, saliva already flowing out.
"Zhuang, what is this? Why is it so fragrant? It smells so good! ”
The smell of Voodoo was a great temptation for a man like him, whose neck was half buried in the ground.
"Witch Doctor, this is the pot that my tribe uses to cook meat every day. If you can cook food and meat and eat it, you can eat more meat and drink more soup like a witch, and you can live longer! ”
Seeing that his purpose of letting the mink pot cook meat had been achieved, Zhuang hurriedly introduced the role of the clay pot to the doctor, and got up and brought a bowl of broth in a clay bowl. Although it doesn't taste as good as when fully cooked, it can now make the witch feel the benefits of pottery.
"Witch Doctor, when it cools down, you drink slowly!"
Then Zhuang looked at the leader and said with a smile:
"Chief, there are still some clay pots and bowls on horseback outside, all of which are gifts for the tribe. In this way, everyone can live a life of eating meat and drinking soup in a clay pot every day. Now the weapons used by the Ding tribe are no longer made of stone, but weapons made of gold, and it is very easy to hunt those fierce beasts, which can easily pierce the fur of animals. Our leader said that we hope that our scorpion tribe can join the Ding tribe, and as long as we join the Ding tribe and become a family, we can use these weapons. ”
