Chapter 108 Li Yi's Wishes
The Li bream tribe is indeed more than 150 people, more precisely, there should be about 200 people.
But they don't live together anymore.
The area where the Li bream tribe is located is relatively flat and the territory is not large, but there are three or four lakes in the territory that are no smaller than the mechi. There are countless other water depressions. With the shoddy algorithm of forest traces, there is no problem for a lake as large as Muchi to feed hundreds of people. There are three or four such lakes in the bream, so there is no shortage of food.
Their population has already crossed the threshold of 150 early on, and their internal contradictions have been around for a long time.
Now they live in two groups on the edge of two lakes, one or two kilometers apart.
The bream's Ammum has been tormented about this matter for a long time, or she has been working on solving this matter since she took over as Eminem. However, no matter how much she tried to mediate and redistribute resources within the tribe, the situation never improved.
It's always those who are satisfied that they return, and others who are dissatisfied with moving out, and so on and so forth, Yumu is simply tired of coping.
Fortunately, these people are just divided, and it is impossible to split.
As long as Yumu and her sisters and daughters master the art of fishing witchcraft, it is impossible for the tribe to break. Without witchcraft, those people would starve to death.
The ice and snow melted, the grass was far away, and the lake where the bream was located was rippling in the microwave.
Near noon, a fishing spell was held on the shore of the lake where Yu Mu lived, and many strong men were caught in the water after being fished, despite the cold of the lake, and some people rowed canoes on the water to meet them, and soon a large fish was thrown up from the bottom of the water. The tribe fell into the joy of harvest.
Dressed in a soft wolf skin, Yumu was busy for a while, only to find that no one from the group living on the other side had come to accept the fishing witchcraft.
Yumu looked in the direction of the other lake to the west and said angrily, "Now that the ice and snow have melted, it's time to go into the water, what are they thinking?" Do you want to eat grass to live? ”
Without the magic of fishing, those on the other side could catch some fish and shrimp from some shallow water to fill their stomachs, but the number was far from enough to feed so many people.
Some of the kids who like to run around say, "They're already fishing, and they don't even have to go into the water." ”
"What?" Yumu was startled, and for no reason remembered some strange ways of fishing without witchcraft.
She led a large group of people to another lake, and sure enough, she saw that the people on this lake were already boating and fishing, and it seemed that no one was diving.
What are those who stand on the shore and throw themselves into the water with long poles?
The man standing in the canoe was fishing at the fish? What kind of fish do you hold a broken bamboo stick to tie? Fish god, he really got it. Why did the fish run to the bamboo stick and not leave?
And what about those who drag up with rattans? Rattan...... Net? Yumu remembered some terms she didn't believe, and realized that it might really be what Ji Lin's hungry ghosts said.
The rattan net was dragged up, and the fish in the net snapped and jumped, making the fish dizzy.
"Who! Who taught you to fish with these evil ways? Eminem suddenly realized that Ji Lin's legends were only true, and these people actually colluded with Ji Lin's people. If this is the case, she will not hesitate to kill half of the men here to appease the wrath of the fish god.
"I taught." A man with half of his face covered by a torn animal skin walked from the side, and several of the strongest men from this side stood beside him, looking like arch guards.
The man covering his face is not tall, his eyes are like snow in winter, his eyes are more white and less black, and he looks extremely penetrating.
"Who are you? Are you from the Himebayashi Division? Eminem was sure he had never seen this man.
"I'm not from the Himebayashi!" The man said a heavy repudiation, and then his voice became cold: "But I can let them catch the fish." ”
"The other day, the men went to meet him in the woods, and he said that he had spent the winter in the woods and had frozen off three toes and one ear...... When the men saw that he could fish in these ways, they brought him back. The woman who lived here whispered in Eminem's ear what she knew.
The internal relationship of Li Yi is complicated, and although these women live separately, they still have a heart for Eminem.
The man over there said, "In the winter, only one person died on your side, and three of us died here." Every time we do witchcraft, we are always worse than yours, we are always thinner than you, and now we don't want your witchcraft, what else are you going to do? ”
The men spoke with great confidence, and the man who covered his face in the middle was also a little proud.
After surviving a cold winter, a person who is almost a savage is suddenly held in front of others, this feeling was unimaginable before. Refreshing!
"Don't want witchcraft?" Yumu looked at the people in the lake and caught a lot of fish in a short time, and she was a little frightened in her heart, but when she saw the canoes used by those people, her eyes immediately lit up: "I also made those boats little by little, and I got them all back." ”
Without canoes, there is no difference between the surface of the lake and the ocean, and if these people can only flutter on the lake, it is useless to care about any fishing methods.
Yumu thought that in this way, these people would be obedient and soft again as before.
Who knows, the man who covered his face sneered and said, "I don't like these things that can't stand on their feet for a long time." Push our baby into the water. ”
This time, even Yumu sneered. The secret of the canoe is not to hollow out the wood inside, but to flatten the bottom, otherwise a round piece of wood will turn over at any moment. She didn't think these people could know the secret.
Without knowing this secret, even if you make a canoe, it's just a joke. Yumu is going to watch a big scene of falling into the water, and then teach these people a good lesson, and finally throw this wild man with his face covered into the lake to worship the fish god.
It's just that Yumu didn't see it, and the woman who reported to her before had a strange face and quietly retreated.
On the other side, at the command of the man covering his face, several men pushed a strange combination of wood into the water. It was a raft lined with wood.
The raft was rough and had a lot of rotting wood in it, but as soon as the thing was pushed out, Yumu didn't think it was good. Because it wasn't a round canoe. Or maybe she'd never seen anything before.
The raft entered the water and sank first. When the whole raft is in the water, it floats.
The man with his face covered jumped on the raft and pushed it with a long pole, and the raft clumsily but slowly entered the lake. The man with his face covered walked back and forth on it a few times, and the raft was all steady, and there was no intention of capsizing at all.
“…… Demons, demons! Yumu became excited, as if he had seen an alien invasion, and roared loudly: "This is my territory, these demons can't enter our water!" Sink them! ”
A civil war broke out between the Li bream tribe. After that, it lasted for several months.
The number of people on the side of the man who defends the face covering is smaller, about eighty or so, and there are close to one hundred and twenty people on the other side. It stands to reason that the man who covers his face will suffer more on his side.
Fortunately, the relationship between the two sides is already disconnected, so no matter how you fight, it is difficult to kill you.
The man with his face gradually showed more and more amazing skills, for example, he knew how to quickly make smooth sticks and arrow shafts, he knew how to make a large number of short spears out of animal bones, and he also made an arrow with feathers between the tail of the arrow, which shot more accurately...... This makes the side with fewer others not fall behind.
After months of fighting, the two sides finally shook hands and made peace because of their inextricable relationship. The man who made an outstanding contribution in the battle was worshipped as their blessing by the people of Li, and was called the fish blessing.
Although the Li bream tribe suffered many casualties because of this battle, they also mastered more complete fishing methods, and prosperity is just around the corner.
Yu Zhu always looked to the West, always thinking of a hateful child with a short spear to his neck and the insulting game of half a basket of fish to buy his life, and he hated it in his heart.
You wouldn't think I'm where I am today, are you?
