After the successful rescheduling, the Vulcan tribe generously gave each tribe a piece of meat, or lit the big fire on the mountain, and invited everyone to meet there for barbecue. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This kind of market is not only a time to exchange goods, but also to exchange various information. During the day, the items have been exchanged almost completely, and by this time, everyone gathers around the fire and likes to brag about their achievements in previous years. I like to complain about how the prey has become difficult to hunt this year. A tribe like the Vulcan that has wise men will also proclaim their new understanding or conjecture of the world, indicating that their totem is at the forefront of the world...... More often than not, they are communicating and discussing their perceptions of the world.

Bark liked this kind of communication, so Wang Chuan asked him to take a few calendars he had made to participate in this kind of activity.

More or less people from other tribes were left behind, and Wang Chuan, accompanied by Bihu, went to see them one by one, asking about the location of their tribes, the terrain where they were located, the number of people, the items produced, and so on. When you come across something suitable, exchange it for some with the drinks you bring. The smarter of the rest of the tribes went to the campfire. The people who stayed were honest people, so that Bihu stood far away in a non-threatening place, and Wang Chuan was always quick to chat with them warmly. Gathering this information is not a difficult task.

Now almost all of the relatively large tribes gathered here are the various relatively large tribes north of the Yeyuan River. These tribes range from a few hundred to as many as two hundred. Among these tribes, the easternmost is the Ransom Yan Clan, the westernmost is the Xiniu Tribe, the northernmost is the He Tribe, and the southernmost should be the River Tribe. In the midst of these tribes, there are many smaller tribes, who will come out in the summer and autumn to exchange relatives with other tribes, and stay in their own tribe's territory the rest of the time, and rarely come out. And no matter which direction is in the east, west, north, and west, there are other tribes, and further east, it is said that there are some small tribes, but they will not come to such a far place as the Vulcan tribe to communicate.

Based on this information, Wang Chuan made a brief calculation and found that there may be less than 5,000 people living in the nearby tens of thousands of square kilometers of land. Suddenly, he felt that the goal of forming a tribe of thousands of people was a long way to go.

In the process, Wang Chuan exchanged a few baskets of wine for a few baskets, and he couldn't see what kind of stems. I don't recognize what these things are for a while, go back and check them out or try planting them to see if they work. Most of the crops that have been cultivated in prehistoric and later generations have not grown very differently, and it is normal that they cannot be separated for a while.

When passing by Xiniubu, Wang Chuan also went to say hello, but Shi Jiao was very surprised not to participate in the bonfire barbecue, but stayed in the camp to guard. Seeing Wang Chuan and Bihu coming, he still didn't have a good face, and there was still a choking taste in his tone: "Hmph, being calculated like this, and I don't know how to run away at night, this courage is not bad." ”

Wang Chuan said: "It's impossible to keep running away, sometimes they don't show their teeth, they always think that the tiger that hasn't grown up is a goat." ”

Shi Jiao said: "Even if it is a tiger with its teeth exposed, it will choose to run away when faced with a group of howling." ”

Wang Chuan said: "We have killed this kind of thing, and if we beat them, they will run away on their own." ”

Shi Jiao said: "I hope you can still say this tomorrow." ”

Wang Chuan said: "It seems that you are not optimistic about us. How about we make a bet? Tomorrow if we win, lend your man to escort us for two days. If we lose, everything in our camp is yours. ”

Wang Chuan knew that the terms of the livestock exchange negotiated with Shi Jiao before looked very scary at first glance, but it was not impossible to reach it. Someone who can lead a tribe will definitely be able to make basic workarounds. Among the three conditions, not all of the ten children per year must be from their tribe, and they can also exchange the plundered children to make up the number. The amount of cowhide horn and tendon provided every year is negotiable, and if they can't come up with it, Wang Chuan can't force it. If you form an alliance and go on two expeditions, it will be even easier to delay. There are excuses such as slippery roads in rainy days and heavy snow closing mountains.

And these things are not non-negotiable. The reason why Shi Jiao was not even interested in discussing it was because he felt that the River tribe did not have the corresponding strength and was not worthy of such conditions. Everyone thinks it's normal for the lion to open his mouth, but if the rabbit opens his mouth, that's a joke.

If the River Tribe had proven their abilities by winning against the Vulcan Tribe tomorrow, the result would have been different. The content of Wang Chuan's bet is equivalent to asking Shi Jiao, if we win, do we have the ability to mention this to you? If there is, then we are allies, and you will stand with me against the encirclement and suppression of the Vulcan tribe.

As for losing, it is naturally self-sufficient, and it is impossible to take away those goods, and it is not the same to whom?

Shi Jiao stared at Wang Chuan for a while, and finally made an agreement with Bihu under Wang Chuan's suggestion. If you win, you can talk about everything, and if you lose, there are many benefits, and this risk is worth taking. And he didn't believe that the River Tribe could win.

Before leaving, Wang Chuan asked Shi Jiao why he didn't go to the bonfire barbecue, and Shi Jiao said disdainfully: "That's just a bunch of old things who can't hunt wild beasts, what's the use of listening to it?" ”

In front of the big campfire on the hillside, what Stone Corner calls the place of old stuff babbling, this year is still the same as usual.

In the long river of history, this kind of gathering under the bonfire is a process of exchange and learning of wisdom from different regions to understand and think about the world. Human civilization has stumbled forward in countless such exchanges. It's just that their perception of the world is in a state of ignorance, and most of their views are 108,000 miles away from the truth, plus all kinds of ignorant speculations, in the eyes of the discerning person, these things are equivalent to nonsense.

The Great Witch of the Vulcan tribe told a story between fire and wolves under the campfire tonight, proving that wolves were also born of fire. He is looking for a way to control the wolves through fire, and if he can control it, he will be able to bring a large group of wolves over to participate in next year's beast fight, which will definitely be more majestic than the Anang Ang of the River Tribe.

The old man of another tribe told the story of the wolf and the moon. He said that once when he came home late and saw a wolf standing on the top of a mountain, with his mouth wide open, trying to swallow the moon, then a cloud like a wolf appeared in the sky and blocked the moon...... He is ready to find a way to control the change of the moon and control the wolf through this.

After the bark failed to talk to the winter bear about the calendar last time, he was reprimanded by Wang Chuan. He learned from the pain, and this time he didn't rush to promote the calendar, but found such an opportunity, so he inserted the conversation: "The way to control the moon, our tribe has found it." As long as the sky is clear, we have something that we call a book, also called a calendar, that controls the change of the moon......"

“…… It's not difficult to master this method, as long as you have a good memory, can count, can remember the number of cloudy days, or you can mark the ...... in this book The next spring, autumn, winter and summer will be called a year...... You can control what the moon looks like on any day......"

The prediction of the phases of the moon and the control of the phases of the moon are two concepts. However, there is no problem at all with the fact that the bark will not have a problem with such a thing as a change of concept. These people already know the prediction of the phases of the moon, and when they take the calendar back, they naturally know that the calendar is only a prediction, but they should soon be impressed by this accurate prediction. When the time comes, they will slowly understand the truth about the changes in the phases of the moon, and they will remember the date and forget about the nonsense that controls the moon.

It must be said that this statement of bark is very popular, and the few calendars brought with it were sold out in a short time. Everyone completely ignored the nonsense reprimand of the Great Witch faction of the Vulcan Tribe.

At this time, Wang Chuan carved a few question marks and exclamation marks on the last bamboo tube wine, and also prepared a pair of crocodile boots, and asked someone to send them to Liang Su, the elder of the Vulcan tribe, saying that he was grateful for his reception.
