The Maasai people are very industrious, they start to get up at dawn and get busy, the men have to repair their weapons and exercise, and the women are actually responsible for more things, cutting wood and cooking, taking care of the elderly, raising children, repairing the house and all other household chores, and the children have to learn to herd cattle and sheep at a very young age.

After eating breakfast, Lao Luo took out some fine salt collected in the space, as well as some of the gems seized, as well as a lot of wooden daggers and thorns, and short spears and spears made of hardwood. He wasn't worried about the Maasai snooping on his secrets, he just didn't want to take anything out empty-handed in front of everyone.

Everything was placed in the dirt hut, and Lao Luo sat in the doorway and continued the day's work, making wooden daggers, or sharpening the wolf's thigh bones, embedded the bottom end in a long wooden pole, and tying them to make a long bone spear......

Mahamut led the group of Great Elders to Lao Luo's face, "Bartol, our Great Elder has come to see you. ”

Lao Luo got up at the right time, and gave the Great Elder a standard fist and bow etiquette, "Huaxia Batolle has seen the Great Elder. ”

"Hello, Warrior Bartol, you said you were from Huaxia?" The Grand Elder of the Maasai did not beat around the bush, but had a shrewdness that did not belong to his age.

"Yes, I'm from Huaxia." Lao Luo knew that he had to get straight to the point at this time, and there was no need to hide it, "I'm doing a personal trial, I've gone too far, and I'm preparing to return to my hometown." ”

"Oh, please be seated, you're welcome." A young Maasai had already brought in a few "chairs" made of hardwood and rattan, as well as one from Lao Luo.

When Lao Luo and the people who followed behind the Great Elder sat down together, someone brought a "low table" used as a table, and put a lot of edible fruits on it, of course, the Bahamuts did not have seats at this time, but only stood around the periphery. After seeing that everything was placed, the Great Elder asked, "Where is Huaxia, I haven't heard of it." ”

"Huaxia is thirty thousand miles away from here in the north," Lao Luo saw that the people were a little confused, and knew that they were a little confused about the numbers, so he went on to explain, "that is, it will take as long as the sun rises and sets eight hundred times." ”

"It's so far away, my people have only been as far as walking in a place that takes sixty sunsets," the Great Elder was very emotional, and seemed to be a little caught in his memory, "When I was young, I walked north and south, and I saw Semitic people with high noses, very short pygmies, and a few years ago, I also saw Tang people with their hair tied on top of their heads, and I only saw you one of the Huaxia people you mentioned. ”

"Tang people? You mean Don? Lao Luo heard the Great Elder in front of him speak of this familiar syllable, and he was a little uncertain.

"Yes, Don," the shrewd Grand Elder pointed to the people beside him, "Manuha is my brother, and we met together at the time. The hair of those men was tied at the top of their heads with a strap. ”

"Yes, those people claim to be Tang people," Manuha interjected to confirm for the Great Elder, and by the way, he imitated Lao Luo's etiquette just now, "By the way, the etiquette when they met was very similar to the posture you just had. ”

"Oh, if you two hadn't been deceived, they would have been my people." Lao Luo forcibly suppressed his surprise, and then explained, "There are many branches of Chinese people, many branches have different interests and habits, as well as different occupational distinctions, and even different clothing and etiquette. ”

"Well, that's understandable," said the Great Elder, a well-informed and wise man, "we Maasai people have also had disputes about the fact that some people like to hunt and hope that they can maintain the existence of the tribe by hunting, and there is also the nomadic herding to ensure the existence of the tribe as it is now. ”

"Yes, your choice is wise," Lao Luo admired this very much, it is really not easy for an ancient tribe to maintain a thousand-year-old state of existence, "Your tribe will last for a thousand years." ”

"Thank you for your blessings, Warrior Bartol!" The Great Elder was very happy, they had just migrated from the North and the North, and they were facing a lot of pressure, and at this time, the outsiders must be encouraging without discounting, "We are not allowed to hunt, and the decision to support the clan only by grazing is a joint decision between the previous Great Elder and the tribal leaders of all the tribes. ”

"As a warrior who has traveled so far, what advice do you have for the development of our tribe?"

The Great Elder's speech was slow, and his expression was very cautious. Lao Luo understood the words of the Great Elder, and his expression was also very cautious, because he knew that perhaps this was the stage when the customs of the Maasai people had just taken shape, and his words might have an unexpected change in the development of this tribe. The Arabs and whites in the north are still fighting, and the whites are also chaotic inside, and when they stop fighting and expand outward, the black land of Africa will surely enter the track of history, and become full of wars, plagues, diseases and deaths as later generations do.

"I admire your way of living, and I admire the decisions of your predecessors, who are truly wise." Lao Luo tried his best to express his thoughts in a way that the Maasai people could understand, slowly and cautiously, "I am a brave man, and I dare not say that I am a wise man, I want to ask the Great Elder first, do you know anything about the Caucasian people in the north?" ”

"When I was younger, I heard some things from the Semites," the Great Elder said slowly, and the people around him seemed to hold their breath, "There are Romans to the north, Thracians, and Phoenicians to the west, and I don't know the rest." ”

"It seems that the Great Elder also knows a lot," Lao Luo said slowly, "All the white-skinned people are basically a group, and they are also divided internally, just like the Maasai and Bantu people. In addition to what the Great Elder said, to the north of the Romans there were the Germans, the Ongrus, the Saxons, the Gauls, and further north there were the Slavs. ”

When the Great Elder and his party heard this, they knew that Lao Luo still had the following, so they all kept silent.

"And these are just some of the things I've seen, and further north there are Vikings, Celts, but I haven't heard of them," I can't help but say that Lao Luo is a bit alarmist, but the general situation is still good, "It is said that the Vikings are robbers who live on the sea, and they do everything to make a living, perhaps because of greed." ”

The Grand Elder of the Maasai and his party were stunned, silently thinking about what they didn't know.

"Of course, there is still infighting between them now, and it's far from here." Lao Luo continued, also to comfort them, afraid that they would be frightened, "I don't think they will be able to reach this land in a hundred years." ”

Many of the Maasai were visibly relieved, and Bahamut even glared at Lao Luo, as if blaming him for being okay and scaring people. The Grand Elder of the Maasai was obviously different, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Yes, it will be fine in a hundred years, but what about in a hundred years?" ”

"In a hundred years, who knows, maybe they will continue to fight inward," Lao Luo paused deliberately, "maybe they will end the internal strife and then expand outward." ”

"Ah......" exclaimed, the Maasai present were all warriors, although they were not afraid of war, but what about the other tribes?

"What is your opinion, young man?" Or the Great Elder was more calm, "I guess you haven't finished yet, right?" ”

"Yes, the Great Elder is the wisest." Lao Luo thought about it carefully, "I said that I am a brave man, not a wise man, I have a lot of ideas, but I can't summarize them. Because I don't know if it will have any bad effects on you. ”

"I suggest that you send some young people to the outside every few years to learn the good things from outside, and then when they return, you can vote among the elders on whether to accept and promote the good things from the outside." Lao Luo's statement is useless for the time being, but it is a long-term decision for the development of a nation, and it is the same as the dispatch of international students in later generations.

"Why such a suggestion?" The Great Elder was a little puzzled.

"Well, I'd like to ask the Great Elder a question about this."

"You say."

"Great Elder, suppose there are many enemies in the north with weapons like mine and want to occupy this place, how do you deal with it?" Lao Luo Shun pointed to the long knife placed at his side.

"I ...... We ......," the Great Elder pondered for a while, still unable to find an answer.

"Kill them, drive them away......" An elder who looked rough on the side waited for a long time to hold back such a sentence, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Shut up, Kranu." It was Manuha beside the Great Elder who spoke.

"I see, thank you, Warrior Bartol." The Great Elder stood up and said to Lao Luo very respectfully, "Warrior Bartol, you are a wise man. ”

"You're welcome, we're friends and should help each other, aren't we?" Lao Luo felt that he got up, and said in his heart that this great elder was really unusual, and he thought that it would take more words to explain it.

"Yes, you're a true friend." The Great Elder nodded in response to Lao Luo, and then pointed at Manuha by the way, "I need to go back and think about this matter carefully, I have arranged for the clan to exchange the items you need, if you have any needs, you can directly talk to Manuha." ”

"Okay, thank you for your hospitality."

Lao Luo looked at the group of Maasai elders who turned their heads back to their residence, and felt uneasy for a long time. There are smart people everywhere, and this great elder is very unusual, in the end, he is the head person who can preside over the migration of his clansmen for thousands of miles, and he is no worse than the politicians of later generations.
