After the carnival, it's all about devotion.

The morning light was twilight, but the location of the lumber yard was crowded, and the queues stood in the corresponding positions according to the requirements, no longer making noises, waiting for the rituals to be held.

Today is the day when the Ding tribe officially built the city and laid the foundation, and the Ding tribe held a simple sacrificial activity, killing a ram, a deer, and a big fish as sacrifices to heaven and earth. There are also a lot of pottery, bows, axes, machetes and other items placed next to it, which are used to show the achievements of the Ding tribe to the heavens. The whole ceremony was presided over by the deer, praying to God to bless the Ding tribe to build the city smoothly, and the eagle and the rhinoceros danced on the side, saying that they could communicate with the heavens and get the blessing of the gods.

During the entire sacrificial activity, all other tribesmen participated in the entire sacrificial activity, except for the staff on duty. Behind Ding Qi stood the Elders and the Clan's backbone, followed by all the clansmen and slaves. In front of Ding Qi are the tools that the tribe will use in the process of building the city, such as shovels, cross picks, flat baskets, wheelbarrows, and small flat carts (flat cars).

Everyone prayed silently, and from time to time they knelt down and stood up as the deer asked. After the deer threw a piece of tortoise shell into the fire and roasted it for a while, there was a crackling sound, and the tortoise shell was picked out with a wooden stick, and it was not afraid of being hot, and it was wiped clean, and the deer held the tortoise shell and examined it carefully.

After watching the three or five breaths, the deer had a smile on his face, raised the tortoise shell in the air with his right hand, and shouted:

"Daji!"

In an instant, the entire tribe boiled, and cheers spread far away. Suddenly, the sun shines through the clouds and mist, shining on the land that is about to build the first city in human history, and it is gorgeous and colorful!

Ding Qi stepped forward, picked up a shovel, and after figuratively digging out a shovel of soil in front of him, the whole sacrificial ceremony officially ended.

All the personnel, under the leadership of their own queue leader, picked up the tools arranged in advance, lined up to the predetermined location and began to dig the foundation.

The foundation had already been outlined in white ash, and the walls were three meters thick, but the foundation was five meters wide and needed to be dug down two meters deep. The first to start digging is the east and north two foundations, nearly 400 people respectively with shovels, pickaxes to excavate, lined up, two to three meters apart, one person to loosen the soil with a pickaxe, one person shovel shovel soil, all the excavated soil piled up outside the foundation for standby.

According to this division of labor, every two people are responsible for the task of excavating the foundation three meters long, five meters wide and two meters deep, and 30 cubic meters of earth are excavated. Dig 6 cubic meters a day, and you can complete the task in a maximum of five days. Moreover, these 30 square meters of soil have to be rammed for foundation lime landfill and wall lime earthwork in the later stage, which can not meet the needs at all, and the earthwork must be transported from other places.

In particular, the wall is rammed with lime earthwork, and the wall space is 3 meters long, 1.8 meters wide and 6 meters high, and there are 32.4 square meters of earthwork normally needed. But to build a solid one, it would take three to four times as much earth to smash into it, or even more.

Of course, the above algorithm is ideal, and the number of people is calculated as 400 people. But at present, the total number of people present is 387 people, and about 350 people are digging to remove the people who cook and boil water, send water to feed livestock, and continue to burn bricks and lime.

Six days later, the excavation of two foundations was completed, and the excavation of the other two foundations continued.

At that moment, a hurried warning sound was heard from the watchtower. Four hunting squads at work and Zhuang,

The team led by Yan immediately picked up their weapons not far away, quickly lined up, and then rushed out of the courtyard under the leadership of the team leader, waiting for the next instructions.

Judging from the reactions of the team members, the four formed squad members reacted the most quickly, and without the captain saying more, they immediately grabbed their weapons and lined up. The Iwana team is okay, with a medium reaction speed; Zhuang's thirty people reacted the slowest, but Zhuang didn't say anything, and set off immediately after quickly forming a team. From the ugly expression on his face, it is not difficult to see what kind of "preferential treatment" these thirty people will receive. These were the people he had selected from among the slaves as soon as he received the order to form them, and every night after dinner, he would organize them to train in a procession. But this is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it still needs to be strengthened slowly.

Ding Qi and Ben Hecang also came to the gate of the courtyard as soon as possible and asked the staff on duty why they warned them.

"Leader, a group of people came from the direction of Wild Horse Valley, the specific number is uncertain, at first glance there are about three hundred."

Ding Qi quickly returned to the cabin, took out the Lookout Realm, climbed the watchtower, and looked at the unknown people.

There were a lot of people, walking in three columns, with weapons in their hands, looking as they went, and at first glance they looked like they were about to attack, and there were people who looked like they were riding on a horse.

Ding Qi hurriedly zoomed in on the camera, looked at the people at the front of the team, and laughed for a while, it turned out that he saw several familiar faces, namely the Blue Tiger Leader of the Li Tribe, the Shang of the Qiu Tribe, and the Gu Da of the Gurung Tribe. In particular, the leader of the Blue Tiger is alone, sitting on horseback, swimming leisurely, and he is not tired of the horses under him. There were also some characters who looked like leaders next to them, talking and laughing with them.

With a wave of his hand, Ding Qi left only the White Fang's small team, drove all the others back to work, and told Xiong to gather the elders and the Witch Doctor to greet the guests at the gate. And he himself took a dozen men with him, led his horse from the stable, turned over, and greeted the comer.

Stomp, stomp!

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and before the people arrived, Ben Hecang beside Ding Qi had already shouted and urged the horse to meet him. Xiao Erhei was not to be outdone, and suddenly accelerated and left the big gray horse and the chestnut horse behind, leaving a string of neighing horses.

Herod!

Sigh~

"Haha, leaders, don't come unharmed! Welcome to the Ding tribe! ”

Ding Qi quickly jumped off his horse and came to a group of people, and he couldn't help but make a gesture to show his welcome to everyone, but he forgot the common etiquette between tribes.

However, Ding Qi's way of doing things was learned by those who visited the Ding tribe, and it spread after they returned.

Blue Tiger is also a person with a higher status among the leaders, plus he has a strong stone, so he has more power to speak. He led all the leaders, and greeted him first, smiling at Ding Qi, his eyes were almost gone, but the essence was flickering, and people couldn't ignore it.

"Ahh Leader Ding personally came to greet me and told me how to deal with myself? This welcoming spec instantly becomes tall because of your arrival. Ha ha! ”

"Hey! When you come, my tribesmen have already seen it and reported it to me, so of course I have to hurry over to greet you, especially if the leaders are coming to my tribe for the first time! ”

Ding Qi glanced around, brought the Shang on the left and right sides and Gu Da's side together, and smiled

Face gesture. According to his understanding, those who come are guests, and they can't neglect everyone. Moreover, when these strange tribal leaders meet for the first time, they must give the best first impression to the family.

After Ding Qi looked at Shang and Gu Da, he looked at the Blue Tiger Leader again, and said with a smile:

"Blue Tiger Leader, you're fat again! It seems that I can't give you a horse to make you fat again, and that's my sin! ”

Everyone laughed, but Lan Hu didn't care, stretched out his hand and pulled the person behind him and smiled at Ding Qi:

"Don't always laugh at me, come, I'll introduce you to a few tribal leaders first. This is the leader of the human tribe, Wang, this is the leader of the Baipu tribe, and the other is the leader of the Qiang tribe, Di. They are all leaders of medium-sized tribes whose strength has reached the level, but they like the pottery of the Ding tribe, and admire the demeanor of the Ding leader Aragami, plus you said before, you can bring people over to work in exchange for the production methods of various advanced tools of the Ding tribe, so they brought a lot of people over. ”

Ding Qi stepped forward to greet them one by one and thanked them for bringing people to support the development of the tribe.

The three of them also admired Ding Qi very much, and hurriedly leaned over to salute and carefully look at the face of the Aragami, but it was different from what they imagined, they were beautiful, rich like jade, like a god, which made their impression of the Ding tribe better and better.

Everyone was welcomed into the tribe, and six members of the elder group and the medical witch group lined up on both sides of the gate in the morning to welcome the guests. Several leaders were brought to the front of the hut, and the healers of the Qiu and Gurung tribes were taken to the other side by the deer and received them individually.

The others were led by Ben and Cang to the rest area. They exchanged heads with each other, shocked by everything about the Ding tribe, and Ben had already prepared lines to respond to their questions.

The cabins are really a bit small and can no longer meet the needs of receiving guests or holding meetings.

Everyone sat on the straight-backed chairs made by the Ding tribe, and they were curious to feel the difference of the seat under the buttocks, and Ding Qi also quickly explained what it was, which caused everyone to praise. This kind of straight-backed chair, Lan Hu has never seen it at the exchange meeting, but as soon as Lan Hu saw this chair, he asked Ding Qi for it.

Before the tea was served, Shang of the Qiu tribe and Gu Da of the Gurung tribe immediately knelt down on one knee and said to Ding Qi:

"Leader, our two tribes have decided to join the Ding tribe from today, and from then on, the tribe will be sent by the Aragami, and there will no longer be two tribes, Qiu and Gurung!"

The performance of the two was both expected by Ding Qi and unexpected, seeing that they could take the initiative to vote, this heart was sweeter than eating the honey of the Gurung tribe.

"Hurry up, we will be a family in the future, don't bow down like this again."

Ding Qi helped them up, and the person next to him brought the brewed dandelion tea and placed it beside everyone. The others looked at ease, but the three new tribes seemed a little cramped about it, not knowing how to drink.

With a total of 165 people in the two tribes, and nearly 150 people in the four tribes including the Yuli tribe, the working population of the Ding tribe has almost doubled to about 650 people.

Ding Qi was so happy that he hurriedly arranged for them to build a wooden house and other resting places, and arranged for a bonfire to be lit in the evening and a welcome party was held.
