Chapter 116: Angry Grass Jiao
The fat witch smiled wryly and muttered, "It's really that simple." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.infoγγγ Why didn't anyone think of it before? β
Tang Ge smiled proudly and said proudly: "That's because I wasn't there before. β
The fat witch rolled his eyes and threw out an expression of laziness to deal with Tang Ge.
Tang Ge has always believed that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the most intuitive way to measure science and technology is production tools. This is also the reason why Tang Ge insisted on making tools first and then weapons when making steel.
Three Trees was indeed not a good place for hunting, but at that time, for others and for Tang Ge, things were indeed as simple as that.
Building a fence and enclosing animals in it is something that happens in almost every tribe, but why doesn't anyone think of such a simple thing? There are two reasons for this.
First, inertia. The first thing that these people think of when they see the overwhelming number of migratory animals is how I can hunt as many as I can, and all they think about is how to occupy a good hunting spot, how to gather more people, how to hunt more prey with better weapons, but no one thinks about how to keep all these animals, because it is almost impossible for them.
And then there's the second point: the importance of advanced tools. Maybe Tang Ge's method has indeed been thought of, but they can't do it. Because before there were no metal tools, it would take months or even half a year to build a huge fence with stone tools. Not to mention that they were not sure of their hunting location before the autumn hunt, so this matter would not be possible even for large tribes such as Banpo dolphins and bull heads without metal tools.
Therefore, Tang Ge's method is very simple, but it can work wonders.
Time waits for no one. Now that there is a way, it is necessary to start work early. After Tang Ge finalized some details with the fat witch, Shi Shiran went home. As for how to cut the wood and where to build the fence, it is natural for the fat witch to make a decision. Anyway, the tools in the tribe are enough, and now there are a lot of people and livestock, and Tang Ge doesn't have to worry about the preparatory work in advance.
After determining the arrangements for the autumn hunt, Tang Ge had no work to do. In the days of waiting for the return of the mining team, Tang Ge spent all his time exercising except for playing with Xiangxiang every day. Life is quite leisurely.
**************
Heyang tribe, located on a sunny slope on the bank of Qingshui HB, this river originates from the high mountains, and when it flows through the Heyang tribe, the water quality is still crystal clear, so it has the name Qingshui River.
In the open space in the middle of the Heyang tribe, the chief grass Jiao was furious, and in front of him, a large group of trembling slaves knelt.
Three days ago, a tribesman came to report that the tribe often lost things, at first it was some food and the like, and then it was stone tools, animal skins and even salt. Cao Jiao thought that the slaves were unclean hands and feet, and he didn't care, so he gathered everyone together and taught them a lesson.
Two days ago, another tribesman came to report that one of the hunting dogs in the tribe had been lost, and when the people of the tribe went to look for it, they found the remains of the dog that had been half eaten by people not far from the tribe. When they tried to track down the dog thief, they found nothing. When Cao Jiao heard about this, he was furious, ordered to cut down several slaves who were in charge of patrolling, and reprimanded all the tribesmen, and the tribe's defenses were strengthened again. The patrol team was twice as large as usual.
However, last night, there was another serious theft in the tribe.
After Cao Jiao participated in the banquet of the Banpo dolphin, he was very envious of Tang Ge's robe and wide-sleeved clothing, and when he returned to the tribe, he immediately ordered people to imitate a set. After a few days of rushing work, this set of clothes that is not exquisite, but also quite a bit of Hanfu style is finally sewn. Cao Jiao was quite pleased, and he was reluctant to take it off after trying it on, he felt that this dress matched his temperament very well, and even narcissistically thought that this kind of clothing of Banpo dolphin was simply tailor-made for him.
When he went to bed last night, Cao Jiao carefully hung the clothes that he had only worn for half a day on the newly made hanger in front of the bed. The style of this hanger was also learned from the Banpo Dolphin Banquet. When Cao Jiao was lying on the bed, this "beautiful" new outfit hung beside him.
This night, Cao Jiao had a sweet dream. He dreamed that he was wearing this new costume and came to the Niutou tribe with a graceful demeanor, and with his three-inch incorruptible tongue and superior bearing, he easily said that the bull-headed sunspot would go to fight the Banpo dolphin, while he was happily waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Seeing the defeat of the Banpo dolphin and the bull head, it was when he made his grand appearance to subdue these two large tribes, but he was woken up by the noise of the tribe in the morning. The unhappy grass Jiao was about to continue his dream with his head covered, but he felt that something seemed to be missing in the room. After looking around, looking at the empty hangers, the grass Jiao let out a terrible angry cry.
After gathering all the slaves and clansmen, the grass Jiao, who could no longer maintain his demeanor, was like an angry lion, running back and forth in front of the slaves kneeling on the ground, and the surrounding clansmen were also forced by the grass Jiao's intimidation, and they were silent one by one. Even the wizards of the Heyang tribe carefully hid in the middle of the crowd. Although he is a wizard, it is a pity that he has no status in the Heyang tribe, and he is only a little better than those ordinary clansmen.
Cao Jiao has already planned, if he can't catch this thief this time, he will kill all the slaves who keep vigil to vent his hatred, and he must not be soft! You must know that the dress hangs at the head of his bed, but fortunately the thief wants clothes, if he wants his life...... Thinking of this, Cao Jiao couldn't help but shudder, and the anger in his heart became even stronger.
Looking at the trembling slaves kneeling on the ground, Cao Jiao snorted coldly: "Who was in charge of the vigil last night?" Come out for me! β
As his words fell, several clansmen and a dozen slaves walked out of the crowd.
The tribesmen stood in front of the grass with their heads bowed and cowering, while the slaves knelt on the ground, their heads eager to be pestled into the mud, and none of them dared to raise their heads.
Cao Jiao yelled at a few people: "Let someone steal to my bedside!" You say! What are you eating? Are they all dead!? β
Everyone in the tribe did not dare to squeak, and could only silently bear the anger of the grass Jiao.
Cao Jiao glared at the clansmen and slaves in front of him fiercely, and said word by word: "Don't say that I won't give you a chance. Who stole it, how did it steal, and where are the people who are stealing it now? If you explain these three things to me clearly, I can spare your life, otherwise, you will know the end! β
Under the intimidation of the grass Jiao, his people were fine, and the cowardly slaves had been paralyzed to the ground with fright.
Cao Jiao waited for a while, and saw that no one dared to speak, so he asked even more angrily, "What?" Nobody knows? So what's the use of me keeping you!! β
When the enraged Cao Jiao was about to order the killing of all the slaves on duty at night and severely punish the clansmen who led the team, a clansman in charge of guarding ran over in a panic and shouted in a loud voice: "Chief! Got it! The thief has been found! β
Cao Jiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked loudly, "Where did you catch it?" β
The clansman in charge of the guard took a few quick breaths, and then said, "He didn't catch it, he came by himself." Right at the door of the tribe. β
Cao Jiao asked, "Then why didn't you arrest him to see me?" β
The guard replied timidly, "We don't dare......"
Hearing this, Cao Jiao was stunned again, got up and kicked the guard to the ground, and scolded angrily: "You waste! Everyone has run to the door, and you don't dare to catch it! I want you to have a fart! I think I'll kill them all! β
The guard hurriedly got up, held something in both hands and handed it to Cao Jiao, and explained, "The person who stole the thing said that I would give it to you, and that he wanted to see you. β
After the grass Jiao turned out to be sent by the guards, the whole person seemed to have been immobilized, motionless, staring at the object in his hand, and even his excited hands were a little trembling!
This thing is nothing else, it is the longevity lock that Tang Ge handed over to the old beggar. Cao Jiao doesn't know the longevity lock, let alone the words on the longevity lock, but he knows the material of this thing! It's gold! A gold weapon of the same material as the weapon used by the Banpo dolphin! Although this piece of gold has a strange shape and is engraved with elaborate patterns, this is the first time he has heard and seen real metal objects other than in Banpo!
Cao Jiao rubbed the copper lock in his hand, felt the heavy texture of the metal, and his face changed several times in succession, and then he instructed the guard: "Go and invite this person to me in, speak well, don't offend." β
The guards promised again and again, and hurried back to the gate of the tribe to invite the old beggar.
Cao Jiao turned the copper lock over and over for a long time, but he didn't understand what was engraved on it. Although he couldn't understand it, he knew that the carvings on it were neither petroglyphs nor totems, but had special rules, and the eight carvings on the front and back and those bat patterns definitely had their special significance.
The grass Jiao was studying the copper lock when he heard "Click! Click! The voice came from far and near, regularly. When he raised his eyes, he couldn't help frowning, and his heart was on fire.
What Cao Jiao saw was an old man, holding a cane made of two branches, wearing his beloved clothes, limping towards this side step by step.
Holding back his anger, Cao Jiao looked at it carefully. Found the old man dirty. His face was black and gray, and his beard was messy, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyes looked quite energetic. The old man's hair was already tangled into locks and locks, and his hands on crutches were also black and white, and he didn't know how long he hadn't washed them.
