Chapter 273: Preparing for the New Year
Wang Jiao and the others came back many days later than expected. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was no problem with the route, and the simple climbing plough was feasible for one person to drag two or three backs of meat, and they used the captives as livestock, although there was a lot of meat on a thousand backs, but they still took all the seizures away, and not even a single stalk was left.
Walking along the river is a bit slippery, but much faster than through the mountains and forests. What no one expected was that the most time-consuming part of the road was over the mountains.
It took about a day to walk that section, and because they had to climb over the mountains, they had to carry the meat on their backs, and they walked back and forth three times before carrying the meat. When I came back, it was almost late December.
At this time, they ate almost one-fifth of the meat they got back on the way.
Because he missed the market, Fishtail was in charge, so he simply gave them the iron tools that the River tribe warriors had brought with them, and finally only shared a little meat to eat on the road, and together with the Winter Bear's people, escorted the captives back to the River tribe.
Because the captives caught this time are mainly old and weak, the price is naturally not as high as said before. The people of the other tribes did not have any objection to this. They were given iron tools or meat, and they all felt that the trip was good, and they all agreed to set off at a time to do it again.
When the fishtail king cellar winter bear returned to the river tribe, it was already the time of the year. Wang Chuan took people and was about to go out for winter fishing.
After listening to their report in the council hall, Wang Chuan first praised Wang Jiao fiercely, and decided to keep the person who was now temporarily assigned to him in his team. The people in his team can be replaced with newly minted iron tools first.
Being able to apply knowledge flexibly is a talent. If there are a little more people like the River tribe, Wang Chuan can save a lot of things.
Turning around, Wang Chuan asked Fishtail: "How did you kill people?" ”
Fishtail smiled stupidly: "I want to learn from you." But forgot to let go of your mouth. ”
Wang Chuan said: "Then you will kill people?" ”
Fishtail bowed his head and had nothing to say.
Wang Chuan asked again: "You gave them the iron tools first, so you are not afraid that they will mess around?" ”
Fishtail raised his head again and said, "They don't dare." ”
This was said with great confidence, which made Wang Chuan appreciate it very much. This kind of courage to do things made Wang Chuan feel that he still had a bit of the style of a general, and it was a pity to follow the black back to build a ship in the dock, so he said: "In the future, you will follow the bark leader and learn from him to use his brains more." You're a man who has the ability, but sometimes you're too confused. In the future, don't always think about running out, follow me to classes more, and gain more knowledge. As long as you can know a thousand words, I'll be a centurion for you. ”
This is a compliment and a promise, and Wang Jiao is very envious.
But Fishtail was not happy at all, his face immediately pulled down, and said, "Elder Chuan, I'm not a centurion, can I not go to class?" ”
Wang Chuan said lightly: "It's okay." But I'm going to say that, if you can't pass this exam, I'll send you to the kitchen to cook with the pregnant women. You can go back to the kitchen first to see the environment and then tell me your options. ”
Fishtails are almost not afraid of heaven and earth. punished him for running laps or something, and it is estimated that in order not to go to class, he can run outside for a day.
The conventional method didn't work, so Wang Chuan had to use ruthless tricks. When he went to the kitchen to install the big iron pot, he found out what kind of place the tribe's kitchen was.
Now my mother is looking forward to having more children in the tribe every day, so she can't indulge the pregnant women. I had eaten uncooked meat before, and Wang Chuan thought it was because of the pottery, but later found that it was not all. Now the number of pregnant women in the River tribe is amazing, as long as they are a little diligent, let alone cooking in pottery, it is estimated that cooking in bamboo tubes can make everyone drink broth.
The real reason is that these pregnant women are lawless. They are now the only ones in the tribe who can steal and be lazy in the open.
They hide in the warm place of the kitchen, and their mouths never stop, except for eating, it is just chattering gossip. Cooking or something, it's almost a boring pastime when you're in a good mood. If the cooked things can be cooked, it means that they are in a good mood, and if they are raw, it must be because any of them are unhappy. It tastes the same as pig food, and you can't blame it, and if you say a few words, you will immediately cry in groups. Those who turn around and cry for them will be punished by their mothers. But they wiped away their tears, and they held their stomachs and nastrils up, or what they should do.
This kind of place, Wang Chuan couldn't stand it when he went in by himself, so he didn't believe that Fishtail was willing to go to this kind of place.
Sure enough, when Fishtail thought of the whole scene of being surrounded by a pot-bellied woman, he couldn't help but play two smarts and prepare to go back to class well. Elder Chuan doesn't play cards according to common sense.
The winter bear was still waiting outside the stockade. He was reinstated with Wang Chuan. The medical expenses of his ancestor are for him to organize people to go north to plunder the population, and now the plan is basically completed, and there is basically no difference between him and him in the follow-up, he wants to see if Wang Chuan has nothing else to do for him, what is really not his forte when he goes to the battlefield, it really can't work, he is ready to go back to do other things, and let the others of the Ransom Yan clan go north to kidnap people instead of him.
He has no resentment about not being able to enter the river tribe village. If you did something wrong before, you have to live with the consequences now. He just hopes that through his current efforts, he will be able to enter this village one day.
Every time he came to the River Tribe, Winter Bear would make new discoveries, and he was used to them. This time he found another stockade by the river, and it was full of smoke, and from time to time bright fires peeked through the high houses. He was curious about what it was for. But he was smart and didn't ask.
In addition, the people of the River tribe made a lot of huge ice lumps and placed them on the roadside outside the stockade. Someone was carving on it with an iron tool, and he didn't know what to get.
They had also made a wide and long net, which was tied to an arm-thick rope.
Just as the winter bear was wondering what the net was for, Wang Chuan came out of the stockade, and the net tied to the rope was rolled up and placed on the sleigh pulled by the baby elephant. Then the drums sounded, and hundreds of people began to assemble in the square, and after a few moments of rest, which the winter bear could not understand, several teams broke up, and skated in an orderly manner, and the long line first followed the stream to the river, and then turned around and went east.
Wang Chuan rode on the back of the baby elephant and said to the winter bear: "We are going to get some fish for the New Year, do you want to go and see it?" ”
Winter Bear immediately understood that he was going to fish with that net. But he couldn't figure out how such a large net was used.
Realizing that he could see another secret of the River Tribe, Winter Bear hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay." I just went to check it out...... Can I bring my ancestors with me? ”
Wang Chuan said: "The weather is good, bring it." It is possible to pull him with our canoe. The boat is by the river, you go get it yourself. I'll go first, you go east, we're on a lake a few kilometers away, you should be able to see it when you get there. ”
Wang Chuan followed the elephant riding by the side of the team, and when he turned around, Winter Bear noticed that the baby elephant had a pair of eyes on its back and glared at him, and made a "chirp" sound.
"What's that?" Winter Bear was shocked.
