Chapter 21 Teach a Man to Fish
On the second day, Lin Tianben agreed to go out with Gesang and Tiewa to test weapons, but unexpectedly, the three of them were called to the patriarch and told by the patriarch that the three of them were going to the two small tribes next to Jinghu Lake to deliver some food. As it was approaching the end of winter, many small tribes had basically run out of food, and in order to preserve these living forces as previously discussed, the Li tribe sent several aid teams to the small clans around Jinghu to distribute food. Lin Tian and the three of them were organized into a team, and they were going to the tribes named Gao Xin and Jin Tian to help with food during the day today.
Although the three of them were assigned a task, they couldn't make today's appointment, but the first time was a mission, so they were particularly excited, after all, going out to do a task would not affect the test of weapons, and seeing a small animal on the side of the road or something, it was feasible to shoot an arrow and try the power.
"Uncle Patriarch, if we just go to distribute food, we might as well teach them how to catch fish by the way."
"It's not going to work, I've taught them, what are we going to eat?"
"No... No way. ”
The clansmen voiced their disapproval.
"That's right, Xiaotian, the technology in Yidi is particularly cherished by each family, if we teach them, they won't need us again in the future."
"Uncle Patriarch, listen to me. The mirror lake is so big, you and I don't know how vast it is, and the fish fishing in the lake will not be extinguished for more than ten years. So don't worry about the lack of fish to catch in the lake. Every time we go to distribute food from various ethnic groups, we are the ones who catch the fish, and we are the ones who deliver the fish, it takes time and effort, and the people are too tired. Although we restrain them, the other party will not really thank us, and will only think that we are controlling them with food. Therefore, I think that in order to unite all ethnic groups and resist the ghost side together, we cannot hide the method of survival. ”
"Ten years later, there will be no fish in the lake, what will we eat?"
One of the clansmen whispered a question.
"Haha, do you want to eat fish for ten years, don't worry, I will let you eat well and sleep well in the future."
"Be quiet, be quiet, everyone, don't you know Xiaotian's ability? I firmly believe that in the future, the Li people will eat, drink and sleep well every day. What Xiao Tian said is very reasonable, we use food to clamp down on others, there is no difference between using force to control our ghost party, presumably those people will not really believe in us, we just want them to see the greatness of our Li tribe this time. Just do what Xiaotian says, treat others kindly, we have common enemies, and we should all be friends with them. ”
Everyone set off in groups on sleds with food, and Lin Tian's group also set off for their destination like everyone else.
"Patriarch, now that there are many snow wolves in the forest, let Xiaotian and them have a group of 3 children, will it not be safe, do you want to send a few more people to protect them", the patriarch said to the patriarch after Lin Tian set off, looking at the direction Lin Tian left.
"It's okay, Gesang and Tiewa are not weak, and they all carry weapons, besides, if you can't win, are you afraid that you won't be able to run in a sled?" The patriarch thought to himself: Daughter, my father can only help you get here.
There was light snow falling today, and the forest was very quiet except for the sound of the wind. At this moment, there is such a picture in the mountains and forests, there is a cart, a horse and three people moving rapidly, and occasionally a few birds are startled everywhere they go. The three children in the car were Lin Tian and his party, the sleigh moved very fast, and the wind and snow hit the face and hurt, so the three of them were wrapped in fur beast clothes and wore fur hats, and only leaked a pair of eyes to drive the vehicle forward. At first, the three of them were still talking, but as one mouth was opened, snow drifted in, and then the mouth was also covered, and the three of them were silent all the way.
With the sled as a means of transportation, Lin Tian and the three of them arrived at the Gaoxin tribe in less than half a day. The Gaoxin are stationed on the top of the mountain, surrounded by cliffs on three sides, which is how the Gaoxin defend against wild beasts. There was only one way to enter the Gaoxin tribe, and this road was still relatively steep, so Lin Tian and the three of them parked the sleigh at the junction, lifted the food and walked up the mountain.
As soon as they walked into the gate of the Gaoxin station, Lin Tian's group found out about the Gaoxin tribe and surrounded it, but there were fewer young and middle-aged Gaoxin people who surrounded Lin Tian and others. Most of the people of the Gaoxin tribe asked each other what they were coming from, who they were, and Gesang and Tiewa were explaining their identities to each other. In the midst of the noise, an old man who was supported by someone walked out of the crowd, the old man felt really old, the old man's face was full of wrinkles, and he had a face with endless vicissitudes.
After the old man came, the people of the Gaoxin tribe quieted down. Lin Tian saw that an old man who was obviously very important came, so he explained his identity and intention to the other party again.
"You said that you are from the Li tribe and came to bring us food, I remember that the Li tribe is also a small tribe, right?"
The old man said slowly.
"Hey, you old man, what's wrong with the little clan, look down on the little clan? Aren't you Gaoxin also a small clan? ”
Gesang was angry that the other party said that the Li clan was a small clan, and he still had a frame that thought he was a big clan, so he opened his mouth and said angrily.
Gesang's words aroused the emotions of the Gaoxin tribesmen, who were obviously dissatisfied with Gesang's disrespect for the old man, and his words stirred up anger.
The old man waved his hand to stop the people at the scene, so as not to further escalate the situation.
"Little girl, you misunderstood, I didn't mean to look down on the Li people, I just wondered, when I waited for the little people to protect themselves, what did the Li people have to help us?"
"This old gentleman, you see, this is what our Li tribe sent to your Gaoxin tribe, our Li tribe has fishing skills, caught a lot of fish in Jinghu Lake, and was able to feed themselves. I heard that many tribes around Jinghu Lake are short of food, so we came to help and hope to tide over the difficulties together, and we should take care of each other by the Jinghu Lake. ”
Lin Tian opened the bag containing the fish to the people of the Gaoxin tribe, pointed to the fish bag and said to the old man.
"Wow, the Li people can catch so many fish in winter."
The people of the Gaoxin tribe cried out in shock.
"Little friend of the Li people, I am very grateful for the help of the Li people. With all due respect, although these fish can help us, they are only 2 days of rations, and I am afraid that we will also suffer from no food in the future! ”
"Old gentleman, don't worry, so in order to solve the fundamental problems of all ethnic groups, my Li tribe decided to teach the method of fishing to all ethnic groups."
"What, the Li clan actually plans to teach us the method of fishing, aren't the Li tribe worried that after we know this method, they will kill the fish in the mirror lake?"
"Yes, in order to solve the problems of all ethnic groups, it is necessary to teach all ethnic groups the method of fishing, and there is no need to worry about things in the future, and there will be a way in the future."
"In this way, thank you for the great grace of the Li people."
Then the old man instructed the clansmen to call back the clansmen who had gone out to hunt, and instructed the clansmen to prepare food to receive the distinguished guests. Lin Tian and the three of them were led to a tent to sit on their seats, and after sitting down, the three of them and the old man introduced each other's identities and names. At this moment, Lin Tian knew that the old man who received them was the patriarch of the Gaoxin clan, who was still in power, so old and still in power, and the old patriarch also gave an answer to everyone's unspoken doubts. The tradition of the Gaoxin clan is that the patriarch is lifelong, and the new patriarch can succeed to the throne after the death of the previous patriarch, but the current Gaoxin tribe is actually in charge of the son of the old patriarch, after all, the old patriarch is too old.
During the banquet, the food was constantly served, and Tiewa was overjoyed and moved her hands. "A few distinguished guests, our clan has scarce food and poor food, and I hope a few people will not dislike it."
"Where, where, the old patriarch is in this cruel place, it is the greatest luck to have a bite of food and survive."
"Yes, it's the greatest luck to survive!"
