Chapter Thirty-Eight: A City Within a City
The village in Luqingkoukou is not far away, and you can see a simple thatched house after turning over two small dirt slopes. There are not many houses in the village www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", and there are no women and children in sight, so it seems that this is just a temporary station.
As soon as he entered the village, Lu Qing shouted loudly, "Patriarch, we are back." "Out of a house came a kind old man, this old man was different from the old people in the tribe, he was the age of real human beings entering old age.
As soon as he saw the old man, Lu Qing burst into a burst of mouth, crackling like pouring beans to describe the situation just now. As soon as he finished speaking, the old man scolded, "It's all the people who are the patriarchs, and they are so reckless." Lu Qing hurriedly shut up when he saw the old man scolding, and smiled awkwardly at the wind.
The old man hugged his fists at Luo Chuan and said, "The former patriarch of the old giant deer clan has seen the leader of the cloud fish. I've seen a lot of heroes. ”
Luo Chuan hugged his fists and saluted back, "The old gentleman is highly respected, and the young clan is young and promising, where do we dare to call heroes in the mountains and wilderness!" "Isn't this a must-have for the giant deer clan to gather dragon totems, and it must leave a good impression.
An old man and a young man began to be polite, and Luo Chuan came up with all the polite words he could think of, and this old man was defeated.
As the leaders of the two clans, the two exchanged gifts with each other. Luo Chuan took out his bronze dagger, and Lu Lao took out a black hairpin. As soon as Luo Chuan received the gift, he found that the black awl material was the same as the black rod with red hair. Unlike the thick and rough black sticks, the hairpins are light and delicate, and they are obviously not made by carpenters.
If Luo Chuan is not mistaken, the long soldiers used in the hands of these people are all made of this material, which seriously violates the natural science that Luo Chuan has learned, which makes him very curious. "I'll have time to figure out how these things came out!"
Lu Lao is also very curious about Luo Chuan's bronze dagger, and the workmanship is natural, which is far from what he knows. This kind of thing is definitely not a stone, "these people don't seem to be as backward as they think. ”
A gift has made the leaders of the two races make a simple temptation.
"I'll go back to the city with Lu Qing in the evening, are you willing to come with us, the leader of the cloud fish?" Where was Luo Chuan willing to let go of the opportunity to observe this ethnic group, so he naturally agreed.
Luo Chuan didn't let the two scouts follow, and let them go back to the tribe first. He followed the appearance of Lu Qing and them with the wind, and followed behind on a giant deer.
Naturally, these people don't know what a saddle and stirrup are, and they rely on two legs to sit firmly. Although the speed is not fast, Luo Chuan is still very difficult. If you don't clamp your legs, you will naturally fall, and if you clamp it, under his strange force, the deer cliff will die.
From the evening, everyone walked until the full moon hung high. Through the moonlight, Luo Chuan saw a tall city wall from a distance, and the city wall was about seven or eight meters high. If the Giant Deer Clan has developed to this extent, there is no need to do this civilization task and wait for death, there is more than one Giant Deer Clan in the Dragon Totem.
After walking another distance, Luo Chuan frowned again, the tall city wall he saw just now was an inner city. Now there are two walls in front of me, the one in front of me is a two-meter-high earthen wall, and the inner wall is more than four meters high, with a mixture of earth and stone. Plus the inner city, there are three rings, how many people do there have to be!
Entering the first earthen wall, Lu Lao rode with Luo Chuan, and he solved Luo Chuan's doubts. "Leader Yunyu, this is the Deserted Summer City, but this is just what the people here call it, and the real Deserted Summer City is actually only the inner city. Now this city alone is inhabited by hundreds of ethnic groups. ”
Hearing this, the stone in Luo Chuan's heart finally fell, if it was really such a large race, he was ready to turn around and go back to scold the civilization tree immediately, and then wait for death.
"So does the Giant Deer Tribe live in the Inner City of Deserted Summer?"
Hearing Luo Chuan's question, Lu Lao smiled ashamedly. "Where is the inner city where our deer clan can enter, only the four major clans can move in, and people from other clans can go in, but they have to pay a high black flower, and they can only go in for a month at a time, and the rest of them can only wait for the four clans to be recruited." The black flower that Lu Lao said is the currency here, and it is also the kind of material that Luo Chuan can't understand.
"We, the Julu Clan, are also the people who work hard to raise deer in order to live in the second city!"
Luo Chuan didn't understand why these people yearned for the inner city so much, because the standard of living there was high? Where are the entertainment conditions good? Or something else? In his heart, as long as there is a group of active and hard-working clansmen around him, he can't live anywhere. Of course, Luo Chuan's idea will not be expressed, after all, everyone has their own goals.
Gradually, under the guidance of Luo Chuan, Lu Lao told Luo Chuan how to operate the society here. "No, no, no, the four clans in the inner city don't need to work at all, their clansmen only need to collect tribute from one city and two cities."
The standard of living in Yicheng is very low, and most of the people still live in the haystacks when Luo Chuan first arrived in the Big Fish Tribe. It's a hierarchical society, with one percent being grassroots, two cities being slightly better, and inner cities being bloodsuckers. These people were not dissatisfied with the oppression, on the contrary, Luo Chuan saw the satisfaction of being able to live here in everyone's face.
Where does this satisfaction come from?
A few people gradually approached the second city wall, and the soldiers at the city gate saw Lu Lao and Lu Qing, and called out respectfully: "Old patriarch, patriarch, you are back!" ”
The second city can already be seen, and the layout of the earth and stone houses no longer looks messy. The bluestone paved road makes it look clean.
Under Lu Lao's arrangement, the two were arranged to wash, and they also prepared a set of linen clothes and linen pants for each of them, as well as shoes. These items are not available in the tribe at present, Luo Chuan's modern boxers are almost in the middle of their life, and the current lower body is a simple product cut from animal skin, and it is old and leaky.
Luo Chuan finished dressing in three or two, and when he saw the wind, he was angry. The buttons followed Luo Chuan's appearance, but they were unevenly buttoned. The pants are superb, I wore one leg, and the other leg didn't know if I couldn't wear it, so I tied the trouser leg to the waist. The shoe rubbed his foot twice and kicked it to the side.
But the wind is very satisfied, this dress is cooler than animal skin!
"Take it off, put it on again! Damn, one of you is more underpumped than the other! ”
The two of them finally finished dressing, and as soon as they went out, a girl from the deer clan guided the two of them. The girl is not big, and she is not pretty, to be honest, but she is very fresh. Looking at the girl's back, Luo Chuan reacted, yes, it was very violent. Luo Chuan thought for a long time that he could only see the wild women of the tribe, and when he saw a girl with a civilized atmosphere, he couldn't blame Luo Chuan.
Before arriving at the room, Luo Chuan paused. That thing can't go down, "You guys go in first!" ”
"Ah, why is the chief?" The wind looked confused.
"Don't ask why, go in first." After Luo Chuan finished speaking, he quickly turned a corner, pulled away and looked, and there was no sign of going down at all. Luo Chuan gritted his teeth and was ruthless, "I'm sorry brother!" A tendon was pulled out and fastened to the stomach.
