Chapter XXVIII
The materials prepared for the migration, the most important thing is food and salt, as for the clay pot and the net, Wang Lang decided to destroy them all before leaving, although these things cannot improve the force of the tribe, but they are very helpful to the life of the tribe, and these things are also easy to make, Wang Lang does not plan to leak these things out for the time being.
Let that cannibalistic tribe get a net, Wang Lang felt regretful in his heart, but this is also something that there is no way to do.
Even if they can learn how to weave nets, but for the tribes that can only make straw ropes, the woven nets actually have no big effect, they can only be used to catch some small fish, and the strength of the grass ropes can't make a bowstring at all, with the civilization level of that tribe, it is very difficult to extract hemp fiber, Wang Lang feels that this is the only thing to be thankful about.
Wuyun thought carefully about Wang Lang's words, and felt that he was a little impulsive before, Wang Lang was right, a momentary impulse may bring ruin to the entire tribe, although it is difficult to accept emotionally, but reason tells Wuyun to do what Wang Lang said.
Leaving the tribe, Wuyun found Huo, and repeated Wang Lang's words, Huo just nodded and didn't say anything, silently walked to the four corpses, picked up the axes they dropped, and cut off their heads, in order to calm the unwillingness in his heart.
On the last night, the tribe was full of nervousness, and they all knew what happened during the day, and Wang Lang arranged for several people to take turns to hold a vigil just in case.
After a night of calm, when the first rays of the morning sun fell into the forest, the people of the tribe had already prepared, pushed open the heavy wooden fence, looked back at the small courtyard where they had lived for a long time, and embarked on the road of migration with a heavy heart.
Along the small river, which brought people a lot of joy, this small tribe of more than a dozen people followed the direction of the water flow to the south.
The materials for migration were filled with seven or eight bamboo baskets, and Wang Lang estimated that these few hundred catties of materials could make them last for a long time.
People consciously lined up in a line, with women and children walking in the middle, and men guarding at both ends.
Not long after Wang Lang and the others left, thirty or forty men covered in paint with spears and stone axes found the cliff.
The leading wizard looked at the semi-circular wooden walls of the siege and was amazed that he had never seen any tribe behave like this, and sent several men to prepare a tentative attack.
The men rushed into the wall without hindrance, but it was empty, and the wizard was furious when he heard the news, and killed his own people, but they ran away like rabbits.
The wizard walked into the wall with an angry face, looked at the mess on the ground, touched the burned fire and still had residual warmth, obviously these people had just left, when the wizard was suddenly attracted by a piece of pottery on the ground, picked up the fragment and put it in front of him to look at it carefully.
It wasn't known what it was for, but it was clear that it was important to the tribe and that it couldn't be destroyed before leaving.
The wizard angrily threw the pieces on the ground and roared, "Chase me and catch them all." ”
There were excellent hunters in the crowd, and they judged the direction in which Wang Lang and they left by the footprints on the ground. More than 30 people followed the footprints and chased after Wang Lang and them.
After a few hours of traveling, the people were already thirsty and hungry, so Wang Lang ordered them to rest by the river, and the women used the dried branches they had collected to make a fire to roast meat, and the two remaining clay pots brought water from the river and set them on the fire, while the men were in charge of the border around them.
Wang Lang does not allow people to drink raw water, especially in this rainforest, in addition to preventing mosquito bites, some microorganisms in the water can easily cause them to suffer from intestinal diseases such as dysentery, Wang Lang is not a doctor, and he cannot distinguish the herbs, in this case, illness means death.
After a two-hour break, the team set off again, and the children were especially excited in the crowd, this kind of exploration of the unknown world made them full of curiosity about everything around them, and they had to pout and stay by their mother's side obediently under the scolding of their mother.
"Chief, the fire has just been extinguished, and they should have just left here." A man turned to the wizard after clearing the fire with a twig.
The wizard glanced at the fish bones on the ground and the still smoking fire, waved his hand, and said coldly, "Chase!" ”
Wang Lang and the others were completely unaware that the danger was getting closer and closer to them, Wang Lang opened the way ahead, and the stone axe in his hand cut the vines that stopped in front of him, this place was very difficult to walk, there were tall banyan trees everywhere, and the hanging branches were crawling with all kinds of vines.
During this journey, Wang Lang and the others took an hour to get out, and the men who were in charge of taking turns to open the way were tired and panting, sitting on the ground with their butts, wiping the sweat on their foreheads without pain.
After resting for a while, the people continued to move on, but it was not long before a cliff seven or eight meters deep appeared in front of them, and the river formed a small waterfall here, and the river formed a small pool at the bottom of the cliff, and the overflowing river water flowed south along the terrain.
Wang Lang stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, the cliff was almost 90 degrees, very steep, and it was almost impossible to lie down with his bare hands.
Wang Lang asked people to bring two ropes of about ten meters, tied the two ropes together, pulled them vigorously, tied them very strongly, and then wrapped the rope around a big tree on the edge of the cliff, and hung the rope down the cliff.
"Women and children go down first, you must be careful." Wang Lang said.
Children are at an active age, and they are particularly concerned about this kind of thing, and when they see such an interesting thing, they can't wait to try their skills.
Wang Lang didn't let these little ghosts mess around, but let the women go down first, and after a few women went down to the bottom of the cliff safely, the children on the side stretched their necks on the edge of the cliff and waved their hands, turned their heads to look at Wang Lang with expectant eyes, and after seeing Wang Lang nodding, the children immediately cheered.
The older children reacted the fastest, and at the moment when Wang Lang nodded, they grabbed the rope and looked at the others proudly.
Wang Lang looked at these innocent children, shook his head helplessly, and said with a serious face: "Don't make trouble, you must pay attention to safety, you will die if you fall." ”
These children were a little afraid of Wang Lang, and when they saw his ugly face, they immediately became honest one by one, and climbed down the cliff in order, although they were a little scared in their hearts, but after landing safely, they all screamed excitedly.
The women and children both went down, and the rest of the men climbed down one by one in order, leaving Jianya at the end, and just as they were about to grab and climb down, a group of people painted with paint suddenly appeared in Jianya's field of vision.
