"Or can you represent your tribe in the mountains, make decisions that are beneficial to your tribe, and can guarantee that your tribe will honor the promise you promised?"

Ding Qi didn't want to dwell on this issue, because he still had a lot of things to do, so he asked a little more and saw how he reacted.

A drop of cold sweat suddenly flowed down the elephant's forehead, and he didn't know how to answer this question.

Before he came, he was just to get the help of the Ding tribe, to see if the Ding tribe could protect himself and return to the southern part of the mountain, and said that he would send them out together to attack the Yue tribe. But he never thought that he would have to pay too much price.

"Ugh! Leader Ding, didn't you say that the tribe of the Aragami was protecting the small and medium-sized tribes so that they could stay away from danger? Our southern tribe in the mountains is also a medium-sized and small tribe, you have to protect us, the Yue tribe is vicious, and it is the target of the Ding tribe that needs to be punished! ”

As if grasping a life-saving straw, the elephant trunk took out the purpose of Aragami as a shield.

Unfortunately, he said the wrong thing.

Ben, who had arranged the Jishi clan, had just come back when he heard Captain Elephant Trunk's such a shameless sentence, and he directly scolded him back, and smiled contemptuously:

"Huh! Our tribe's approach doesn't need others to talk much. No matter how vicious the Yue people are, what does it have to do with your tribes and my Ding tribe? If it's just to send someone to escort you back, we'll arrange for someone to drop by. But why do you want us to attack the Yue tribe? The army travels, what about the food? What about weapons? What to do with the dead and wounded of our fighters? Who's responsible for what I've just said? Can you afford it?

Besides, in addition to the above, who wants to do that kind of thing if they don't get paid enough? ”

Before Ben could finish speaking, Elephant Trunk's whole face was as red as a monkey's ass.

Being said by others like this, it really seems that I have gone too far. Swap places and think about it, if someone asks their own tribe to attack other tribes, how can they do it if they don't give their tribe something useful?

"Alas! Ben Deputy Leader, I didn't mean that. We can attack the Yue tribe together, and we can give you all the slaves we get! I've heard that the Ding tribe needs a lot of slaves, so wouldn't you have more of them? We only need the territory left by the Yue tribe, and everything else belongs to you, how about it? ”

"Humph! With the strength of our Ding tribe, if we want something, we can completely rely on our own strength to get it, and we don't need to unite with you at all. Remember! Only the Ding tribe will help its own people, and the others, even if they are allies, are in a relationship of mutual help, and if we attack other tribes, we can't do it and won't interfere. We'll only attack if we're attacked by other tribes, but only if it's our allies. You and I are not allies at the moment, let alone actively attack other tribes. ”

Ben snorted, scoffing at the subject's nasal statement. He directly explained that only the Ding tribe itself could do this, which meant that only if the southern tribe of the mountain became a member of the Ding tribe, could they have the resources of the tribe to attack other tribes.

Sweat began to drip from Elephant Trunk's forehead, and he didn't know how to answer. He is not a tribal leader and has no right to call the shots. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Leader Ding, Deputy Leader Ben, I can't make my own decisions, I must be responsible for my tribe. I beg you to send us back to the southern part of the mountain, and then the tribal leaders will decide how to reach agreement with the Ding tribe in attacking the Yue tribe. Can? ”

Ding Qi liked Ben's approach very much, and felt more and more that he had grown a lot. He and Ben, one singing red face and the other black face, cooperate handily and praiseworthily. Obviously, the time has come to speak for yourself.

"Captain Elephant Trunk, what Gangben said is also the truth. If the southern tribe of the mountain is a member of the Ding tribe, there is no way to attack the southern part of the mountain

Houfei, because they bullied the brothers and sisters of the Ding tribe, helping you is helping ourselves. Of course, you can also choose to pay the way of payment, we send troops, you are responsible for the food and drink of the soldiers, and all the items of the Yue tribe that are attacked belong to the Ding tribe. If there are stones and other stones on the territory that we need, the ownership belongs to the Ding tribe, and the land belongs to you, how about it? ”

Ding Qi expressed his opinion with a pleasant face, and the elephant trunk made the decision.

"Leader Ding, I will definitely bring what you said to the tribal leader!"

Before dinner, all the people of the Jishi tribe and the three elephant trunks took a steam bath in the bathhouse of the Ding tribe. It's just that there are too many souvenirs left by them who haven't bathed for many years, so the tribal men and women who accompany them to take a bath can't stand the black things.

In the evening, the city gates of the Ding tribe were closed, and a grand bonfire was held in the central square to welcome the Jishi tribe to join the Ding tribe. The bright light of the fire illuminated the sky over the entire Ning City. Dressed in new animal skin clothes, the newcomers are led by hospitable tribesmen to dance a variety of dances. Even in the final courtship dance, there were men from the tribe who did not have a family, circling around several women of their clan.

The three Elephant Trunks also wanted to solve their personal problems through the courtship ball, but none of the women went to them. In the end, he was distressed to find that these women had masters.

In the days that followed, their entire clan merged into the life of the Ding tribe. They never imagined that living in the city would be so safe, warm and lively. They are using the newly made toothbrushes of the tribe, and although they need to dip some water every time, the feeling of fresh breath is very pleasant. Not to mention the swings, football, mahjong, and even double lifts that are becoming popular among the tribe that they have never seen before.

The Ding tribe arranged for people to teach them every day to understand everything about the tribe.

As for the Elephant Trunk Trio, they can only move in a limited area of Ningcheng. However, Tinch allowed them to learn some basket making and rope kneading activities, and even carpentry work and farming were also open to them. They also go to the study of words and mathematics, which is complicated and I don't know why they want to learn it, but it does not prevent them from learning the relevant knowledge slowly.

Every day, Ding Qi would take time out to come to the iron-making furnace and watch everyone smelt the rest of the iron. Blacksmiths can already be called veritable blacksmiths, because they have iron hammers, and they are still one big and one small.

But strictly speaking, a real blacksmith, or a blacksmith's shop, needs a stove, bellows, anvil, hammer, and pliers. In Tinch's impression, the anvil, hammer, and pliers should all be made of iron, and the stove and bellows did not matter. But under the existing conditions, Ding Qi demanded that the hammer must be iron, and he was handy. As for the others, alternatives can be found, such as anvils and pliers are bronze, and there are also bluestone anvils.

However, Tinch had already drawn them the style of the anvil and asked them to build it according to the style, but the size was relatively small at first. As long as there is a first, there will be a second, and more and more tools will be created, provided that Dingqi has enough iron.

Listening to the tinkling sound coming from the blacksmith's workshop, Ding Qi reveled in it.

In a trance, Tinchi's tinkling sound was the sound of horses' hooves, and the thunderous sound of thousands of horses galloping was formed by their convergence. The sound of horses' hooves, as if in his ears, was deafening, but it could not wake Ding Qi up. Soon, the voice suddenly faded away, circling around Dingqi.

Suddenly, a large black horse rushed out of the thunderous wall of horses' hooves and headed straight for Dingchi. With his tail cocked, he jumped and jumped, as coquettish as ever.

Herod~

The neighing of horses sounded outside the door of the blacksmith's yard, waking Ding Qi, who was squinting and resting.

Opening his eyes, adjusting to the focus of his eyes, a familiar face appeared in front of him. It was Gurung

The squad leader of the clan - Vespa.

"Boss! Horse...... The herd is back! Small...... Xiao Erhei is back with the horses! ”

Ding Qi suddenly sat up from his chair, grabbed the wasp's arm and asked:

"What do you say? Xiao Erhei is back? ”

Vespa took a breath and continued:

"Yes, Chief! Hei Yu came back to report that Xiao Erhei led more than a thousand horses through the Wild Horse Valley and was coming towards the tribe. Due to the thick snow, the horses traveled slowly, so Jin Yu led two squads of soldiers to escort around, and Black Feather brought two people back to report the news first. And I was taking the warriors to take over the two classes of Jin Yu and Black Feather back, but I didn't expect to run into Black Feather halfway, so I came back to report the news. Ski all the way back, and when you reach the edge of the pasture, you change into a spare horse and rush here. ”

The wasp explained, and when Ding Qi heard this, he immediately ran towards the south gate, whistling as he ran. The first whistle Xiao Jin quickly fell in the sky, and when he was about to reach Ding Qi's side, he swooped down and quickly pulled up; The second whistle sounded, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the bluestone pavement, and a fiery red figure quickly rushed towards Ding Qi. By the time he rushed past Ding Qi, Ding Qi was already sitting on his horse and rushing to the westernmost part of the pasture. At the third whistle, the cutie was already running fast through the snow. The little cutie, who is not affected by the snow in the slightest, stretches the soles of her feet wide enough to run on the snow.

Snow-swept roads are ideal for horses to run. But when he came to the westernmost part of the ranch, Tinch quickly changed into skis and began to speed on the snow. The gesture was made, and Xiao Jin, who was flying in the air, suddenly raised his body, and with the help of the air current, he came to an altitude of five hundred meters, hovering there, observing the scene in the distance.

Suddenly, it saw a large number of horses coming from the Valley of the Wild Horses. Stepping on the snow as thick as half a meter, he ran step by step to where the Ding tribe was.

Wow~

Kim began to glide through the air and made a specific gesture to tell Ding Qi that a large population was coming towards him. Ding Qi understands that that is the big dark horse he thinks about day and night has come home!

Xiao Erhei, who is in charge of the horses, no longer has the coquettish appearance he used to have at this time, he is tired, but he is unwilling to relax. It, like its own human friend, runs around, though it's not running, it's moving. It urges every backward horse to cross the valley from the prairie, through the valley of the tung oil, through the lizard slope once full of lizards, galloping through the meadow full of tall grass, and then along the long valley of wild horses, into the human world.

The Valley of Wild Horses, as if there is an invisible barrier, separates the two worlds, on one side is the wild nature, and on the other hand, the human world with an extraordinary lively atmosphere, the world it has always yearned for.

It is the king of the horses, and it is not afraid of the harsh nature, the bloodthirsty jackals and all kinds of predators, and the heavy snow that hinders them and crushes their food underneath, and resolutely embarks on the road of return, just like the habits formed over thousands of years, which have been engraved in their hearts.

The wolves are like paper paste in front of them. It led the small leaders of the various horse herds, breaking through the wolf pack's encirclement and interception again and again, leaving behind wolf corpses and leaving a lot of scars on its own body.

It's all worth it!

It knows what its owner needs, and it understands that only the cold weather of winter can bring more horses together to protect them from the cold and predators. So, it was going to bring all the horses back to the tribe and to their masters.

It doesn't want to show its fatigue in front of the herd, because there are more young horses in the herd waiting for it to show its fatigue, so that they will come and challenge it, defeat it, and then take the herd away as a matter of course, and go to the place where their people have spent the winter for thousands of years. There are fertile aquatic plants and warm weather.

It couldn't hold on, but it gritted its teeth and persevered, until a figure appeared in its eyes, the figure it had been thinking about!
