Chapter 75: Planting the Root Cause

Even in a more egalitarian collective, struggle is inevitable. The interests of pen & fun & www.biquge.info need to be constantly adjusted to achieve a balance that is acceptable to everyone. Once the managers of the collective ignore this, or deliberately ignore the interests of one party, then the collective struggle is not far off.

Wang Chuan now sees that the situation of the Wairen clan is an imbalance of interests. Perhaps they had such an imbalance of interests before or even earlier. At that time, maybe those people on the periphery could still fill their stomachs, and they didn't care too much about this. But now that the overall food is not enough, they are obviously about to be abandoned.

Do not suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness. Those people on the periphery knew that the tribe still had food, but the people inside didn't give it food, so they wouldn't go out to find food on such a cold day. The people inside saw that the people outside were so lazy, and they deserved to starve to death. In this case, conflict is inevitable.

The elder of the Wairen clan is blind and arrogant, presumably thinking that if he masters the people inside, he will be able to control the entire tribe, and he will not make adjustments to these, and it seems that the demise of this tribe is not far away.

If you don't pit him now, you may not have a chance in the future.

In the elder's view, a half-grown child may be of little use. However, in Wang Chuan's view, these people have stronger learning ability and better plasticity than adults. Moreover, the basic physical functions are also better, and the survival rate will be higher. As long as they are cultivated for three or four years, they will become the backbone of the new tribe. That's a lot better than the adults who only run after the beast.

The elder's eyes were uncertain, and he was still very hesitant. He lowered his head and tore another piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and then as if he thought of something: "This is the meat that is?" ”

Wang Chuan nodded and said, "This is wolf meat." It's what you call sobbing meat. ”

The elder looked up at the large pile of meat and asked, "Where did you get it?" ”

"We went out hunting, and we attacked our tribe with a roar. In the midst of a snowstorm, we found the wolves, and then used the method of driving away the wolves and freezing them all. That's why there is so much meat now. ”

The old man's face became strange: "What is the method of driving away wolves and freezing?" ”

Wang Chuan said: "When the snowstorm comes, drive the wolves into the pond that has not yet frozen, and then surround them to prevent them from coming ashore, and after one night, the pond freezes and the wolves freeze to death inside." ”

Wang Chuan didn't know if this method was feasible, but this statement sounded absolutely amazing. Of course, the less people know about poisoning, the better. It would be too troublesome if these people got good at it and poisoned someone else's stream.

When Wang Chuan's words fell, a lot of frightened discussions sounded in the cave.

"So, you killed them all?"

"It's them, not the girl's fault?"

"How come, Woo has never been defeated......"

The old man's face changed and changed in an instant: "I was born of the Wairen clan. Every spring and autumn, there are infant sacrifices. Every month, kneeling and not daring to be diligent. Weekday hunting, but also accompanied by howling, they hunt prey will also have our share, we accompany each other, better than a tribe's people, now they no longer appear, so that our tribesmen are hungry, it turns out that you killed them all? ”

Wang Chuan didn't expect that the Wairen Clan was still a tribe of wolf totems, and depending on the situation, they would also cooperate with humans and wolves to hunt. The lingering smell of wolf dung in the cave is only a key to the cooperation between these people and wolves. But the wolf is not a domestic dog after all, and when it does it to the River Tribe, it doesn't look familiar with people at all. These people are only afraid of moisture on the left and right, and maybe these people are at most jackals who follow the wolf to pick up carrion.

Moreover, the people of this tribe have only been afraid to live such a life for a long time. After the recent disappearance of the wolves, they are short of food, which means that they may not be able to hunt without wolves.

Wang Chuan looked left and right, and saw that those people who were holding wolf meat did not have the slightest intention of letting go, nor did they have the actions of being slandered by their ancestors in later generations, and their hearts were settled, it seemed that they did not recognize this wolf meat at the beginning, but that this elder was just adding chips.

Wang Chuan winked at the tiger.

Bihu had already made an impatient appearance next to him, and when he received the signal, he immediately pulled up his strong bow and shot a bamboo arrow at the rock wall, shouting: "But it's just a few people, what's wrong with exchanging wolf meat?" One or two of you have wolf skins on you, do you usually kill fewer wolves? To change it now or not to change it, give a happy word! Otherwise......"

Bihu's power was amazing, and the bamboo arrow he shot smashed directly on the rock wall, splashing and injuring many people, and the atmosphere in the cave suddenly became tense, and everyone thought that this strong man was going crazy.

"Bihu!" Wang Chuan stopped drinking, but immediately stopped Bihu: "You go out and wait!" Didn't you see me talking to the elders? ”

Bihu was about to be scolded, and was scolded by Wang Chuan with a cold face, so he scolded and went out. Wang Chuan accompanied him, took out a few pieces of jerky and threw them to the wounded, before standing beside the elder and said, "Man is the primate of all things, and it is appropriate to use everything in the world. You can use wolves to hunt down prey, and that deserves to be celebrated all the time under a campfire. But in any case, wolves are just beasts, and there is no need to hold them too high. Presumably, they can receive the worship of your two babies in spring and autumn, but they can't be trusted, right? After that, even if you use them to hunt, you won't be hurt by them, right? I just saw a strong man with scratches on his face, which must have been the wound of a wolf...... We have been deceived and hurt by them before, and we have removed them to avenge you. What is the point of eating their meat for a winter today? Moreover, they are gone, so won't the warriors of the Screaming Clan go out hunting on their own? ”

The people around the elder were oppressed by Bihu just now, and they were already angry, but now after Wang Chuan's teasing, they suddenly shouted: "Who is afraid!" Who wouldn't go hunt on their own! Who wouldn't dare to eat wolf meat! ”

"Is the wolf meat replaced?" Wang Chuan shouted.

"Change!"

The crowd was outraged. Wang Chuan did not rush to persecute the elders, but lowered his head and whispered to him: "My aunt said that those external things are dispensable. The most important thing is to control the people in the tribe. Feed the true warriors and not be burdened by those who only know how to eat bark and grass roots. So that you and these warriors will have meat to eat every day. Our leader is such a strong man, with a temper like a tiger, do you know why my mother, an old lady, and I am a child, why should he obey us? ”

This topic really diverted the old man's attention, "Why? ”

Wang Chuan took out the small hand crossbow from his waist and pulled the trigger on the side of the jerky. Arrows with iron heads effortlessly plunged into the jerky, which was hard to bite. Wang Chuan casually picked up a bamboo arrow and loaded it, asked the people around him to put away the arrow with an iron head, and handed the crossbow to the old man: "With this, no one dares to be disobedient." After you exchange those people on the outside for us, all you leave behind are the elites inside. Even if there are no wolves, can they starve you? After the winter, the wolves are gone, and there is still more food in the mountains, you don't understand this truth, right? ”

Wang Chuan taught the elders in the cave to wind up and launch, waving his hand to let the people of his tribe go to the periphery to pick people. Only twelve-to-fourteen-year-olds are picked. Don't be too big or too small. There are not enough people, the one hanging at the mouth of the cave seems to be able to move, put it down to see if there is gas, and bring it back if there is.

By the time ten people had been picked, the elders had already learned how to use the crossbow. Let him take a look at the person he picked out. He may feel that there are too many people, Wang Chuan said: "This is dry meat, and it is more satisfying." ”

The elder looked at the meat and said no more. Wang Chuan asked the wolf meat to be unloaded, tied people with hemp ropes and walked out. The men of the Screaming Clan also held stone spears to help keep guard. There was no one to keep it, but Wang Chuan still said very politely and loudly: "Don't stay." Now there is no roaring on the road, here to the river, walk upstream for two days, you can reach our tribe, very soon. ”
