The next day, Jin Bei, the patriarch of the Yejin clan, came to their house and said, "Is it convenient to come in?" ”

His words were quite polite.

"Please come in."

Pang Tong said in a loud voice, he and Xue Yue had just eaten the gruel sent by the clansmen, and sat upright waiting for him to come in.

Jin Bei opened the bamboo curtain, walked in wearing cloth shoes, and said, "How long will it take to do that?" ”

Looking at his expectant gaze, Pang Tong took a deep breath and asked, "Is there a red flower here?" ”

Jin Beidao, who was full of puzzled expressions: "Red flowers? There's a lot of it on the mountain. ”

"Do you have pen and paper in the clan?"

"Huh?"

"Please bring some here."

Although he didn't know what Pang Tong was going to do, in order to destroy the enemy's seed, the patriarch still walked out, shouted and waved, and soon someone came in with him, and the man put down all the paper and ink. Jin Bei put his hands behind him and said: "There are very few people in the clan, I bought some from the city, not much, you better not write it wrong." ”

Pang Tong was still confident in this, and hurriedly waved the pen in his hand and drew on the paper. Xue Yue stood to the side, watching earnestly as the branchy flower full of root-like petals took shape. Pang Tong put down the brush and said, "It's this shape, it's red and yellow." Trouble for people to find out, this is the medicine that destroys the enemy's seeds. ”

Jin Beidao, who immediately frowned: "What if you can't find it?" ”

Pang Tong, who had a serious face, was not afraid of this old patriarch, and said solemnly: "How do you know if you haven't tried it?" If you don't even have the courage to do it, what will succeed? ”

Jin Bei didn't have any more questions, he took the drawing paper handed over by Pang Tong and left. At noon, food was brought to them. This time it's Jinda, who looks burly, but is very timid in his heart. He walked in with a plate, put it on the ground, and said, "Look, this is the delicacy of our people, the hind hooves of the pig." ”

"Pigs are welcome everywhere." Pang Tong sighed, looked at the pig's feet that had been full all night, looked up and said, "It shouldn't be so rich, why do you always invite us to eat meat?" ”

Jinda sat on the ground casually and said, "The Yejin clan also wants to be face-saving, is there a guest of you big men, and you are so polite, you want to do something good for us, how can you not be hospitable?" ”

Pang Tong clasped his hands to his chest, supported his chin with one palm, and said, "I was just about to ask you, why don't so many of you men dare to resist those invaders."

Immediately touched on a very sensitive topic, which made the atmosphere heavy. Jinda smiled awkwardly and said, "Is there any way?" To the southeast is the Mule tribe, to the west is the Baihe tribe, and to the south is the Bamei tribe. The tribes closest to us take pleasure in plundering us. Yesterday, the people of the clan found out that they were calling again, so they hurried back, but someone was still caught by them. ”

Pang Tong, who had a calm expression, asked seemingly coldly, "Does this kind of thing happen often?" ”

"No way." Jinda seemed to shake her head painfully and said, "Actually, it's a good thing to be killed." The Muellers are the most brutal. If the woman is not killed, she will be taken back and kept as animals, tied to her hands with ropes, and the other end tied to a wooden post, and can be brutalized whenever and wherever she wants, in broad daylight. Even if a woman is pregnant, she will always be treated like this, and if she does not die in childbirth, the child will be born like a poop. If the child is a man, he is sent to the woman's tribe and thrown at the door as a sign of humiliation. If it's a woman, then raise it and tie it up until it's ten years old......"

"Ahh Xue Yue was about to go crazy when she heard this, she couldn't help crying, hid behind Pang Tong, and tightly tugged at the clothes on his back.

Jinda, whose face was expressionless, continued: "Because of this, their children are also inhumane, especially boys, who are only twelve or thirteen years old, and once they have the ability of a man, they also do that kind of thing to the captive women, so they have no humanity since childhood. This race is a symbol of sin in our area, and everyone is afraid of them. ”

To Jinda's surprise, Pang Tong just nodded calmly. In Pang Tong's view, it is normal for some uncivilized barbarians to do this kind of thing. Since he hadn't talked about eating human flesh, he didn't feel so disgusting.

"If this nation is so brutal, why don't they unite and destroy him?" Pang Tong asked directly. He really couldn't figure out how he could let this kind of people continue to exist.

Jinda sighed impatiently: "If you are not united, you are all people who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard." Because we are caught in the middle, we all come to bully us, and over time we become weaker and weaker, and we become completely the target of bullying. ”

Xue Yue, who poked her head out of Pang Tong's right shoulder, whimpered and asked, "Do you have a lady?" ”

If Jinda had yellow skin, he would have turned white immediately, but his skin was dark, but it was still slightly white. It must be the result of the discoloration of blood. The man was hit to the point by Yukiki's words. But after being silent for a while, he still bowed his head and said, "We rely on the mountains to eat the mountains." My wife was very pretty, she was seventeen years old. It was five years ago, when I went to the mountains to pick fruit. Unfortunately, I ran into someone from the Mueller tribe. ”

Hearing this, Xue Yue retracted her head again. Pang Tong's serious expression stiffened, and he listened carefully to the thoughts of the man opposite.

"There were seven men in the tribe present at the time, and they also fought back bravely, but there were hundreds of people in the Mule tribe, and they obviously came prepared. Six men were killed, and my brother was left. At that time, there was a woman in her thirties with my wife, who knew that she would be doomed, and she crashed into the enemy's scimitar and died. My brother was only fourteen years old at the time, and he was too weak. The Mueller bastard actually took off my lady's clothes in front of my brother. They persecuted my brother to rape my sister-in-law. And said that if he complied, both of them would survive. The kid forced himself to go berserk. The thieves really let them go. But when the Mueller people left, my brother committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head and sighed: "This guy is such a person, in order to be able to help others, he is willing to fall into the abyss." ”

"Creation makes people." Pang Tong, whose face showed sorrow, spat lightly: "What about your wife? ”

"Come back, tell me about it. I didn't complain about anything at the time. The people of the tribe did not know at all. But she later became pregnant, and committed suicide by slitting her throat while I was not at home. ”

Xue Yue jumped up and pointed at him: "Then you are still so cowardly, your brother and wife have died under the humiliation of the Mule clan, you should fight to the death with them!" ”

Jinda, who had a ashamed expression, looked up at her excited face and said, "I'm timid by nature, but I also know what anger and flesh are. But if there are fewer and fewer men in the clan for no reason, the clan will be wiped out. So the patriarch adopted a defensive strategy. ”

"Bullshit strategy! Loser! ”

Xue Yue looked very excited, after all, she had witnessed the cowardice of those men yesterday. But Pang Tong immediately turned his head and glared at her, controlling her emotions.

"How do you fight it?" Jinda looked at her in confusion. "The Mule have 100,000 men and 15,000 soldiers, and they are a notoriously robbing tribe. There are only 40,000 people in our Yejin clan now, and there are only more than 4,000 people in the prime of life. If you fight them in a decisive battle, there is only one way to die. ”

Pang Tong's waist was straight, and his eyes were shining: "What is the situation of the other two tribes." ”

The puzzled Jinda didn't know what he was thinking, so he had to tell the truth: "There are 60,000 people in the Baihe clan and 7,000 soldiers. There are 80,000 people of the Bamei tribe and 7,000 soldiers. Originally, the Bamei tribe had 15,000 soldiers, but due to a war with the Mueller tribe in the mountains eight years ago, they suffered heavy losses. The people of the Mule are simply warlike like demons. ”

"After all, there are few such tribes, and you should unite them." Pang Tong, who was thinking quickly, said: "The combined strength of the three clans is far greater than that of this tribe. Is it because they are all afraid of them, thinking that there will be no hope for them all united? ”

Jinda nodded helplessly. He found that no matter what he said, he would be seen through by Pang Tong, so it was better to tell the truth.

"Then I don't understand, this kind of tribe that likes to raid so much will greatly hinder your farming. If you don't stand up and resist, won't you all starve to death? ”

"You're right, farming has almost ruined most of it, and no one dares to leave the village casually. We make a living by selling stone and iron. ”

Suddenly, as if he had heard something big, Pang Tong shouted loudly: "Shi Tie?!" ”

Jinda nodded and said, "It is said that the Han people need this kind of thing very much, and it can be refined into very valuable weapons. ”

Pang Tong thought to himself: "Could it be iron ore?" He immediately got up and said, "Take me over and have a look." ”

Jinda, who didn't know what he meant, got up and said, "Is it something very important?" ”

Xue Yue took advantage of the anger just now and said, "Tell you to hurry, hurry up!" ”
