Chapter 20 Relatives are distant and close
"The leader is back!" Xi was still looking at Long Qiupeng and the place where they left in a daze, but the news of Long Qiupeng's return came from other directions. Pen~Fun~ Ge www.biquge.info Xi was a little surprised, obviously he had been staring at the direction that Long Qiupeng had left, how could the news of the leader's return come from somewhere else.
She was still wondering, and she saw many tribesmen running towards the lake. Her gaze followed the direction of the tribesmen, and several figures floated on the surface of the lake. When she took a closer look, it turned out to be Long Qiupeng and Lu them.
Long Qiupeng was the first to get off the boat, followed by the deer, and then the clansmen who accompanied him at that time.
The last thing to reach the shore was a large lake with pottery wood.
The Taobu people, who were still in high spirits just now, suddenly fell silent, and they cast their loving eyes at Dahu and Taomu, and some of them even began to have tears in their eyes.
Long Qiupeng looked at them and didn't say anything else, but he guessed that in fact, the story between the two was far more tortuous than what was said.
However, he didn't care about this, and bringing the two of them back to the tribe safely today can be regarded as an explanation for taking advantage of the feelings of the Great Lake.
Long Qiupeng was very anxious, but when he returned to the tribe, his tense spirit was still relaxed, he felt tired and sleepy after being tired for two days and one night, and fell asleep after returning to his room, no matter who shouted, he didn't wake up.
After a long sleep, he finally woke up from hunger and thirst, and when he got up, he found that it was late outside, and the sun was gradually sinking in the west.
His deer, which had been guarding him, was awakened by his movements, and also woke up from his sleep. Long Qiupeng saw that the expression on the deer's face instantly relaxed, and knew that he must have been asleep for a long time, so he asked, "How long have you been asleep?" ”
The deer replied, "One day and one night." ”
Although he knew that he would definitely sleep for a long time when he was tired, he was still a little surprised to hear the deer's answer. It has just begun, and it has consumed a lot of energy and physical strength. However, the real contest between the two tribes has only just begun.
Time was still passing, and the ten-day covenant did not allow Long Qiupeng more time to rest, and he didn't even have time to solve the "appetite", so he commanded the deer; "Go and call Creek and Bear...... There are also big lakes and pottery wood, so let them wait outside after they come. ”
Before the others arrived, he smoothed through the information he had obtained from the Furnace Clan.
In addition to the basic situation of the Lu tribe, on the way back, Tao Mu contributed an important piece of information to Long Qiupeng, the Lu tribe has a total of three affiliated tribes, except for the old Tao tribe that has been annexed by the Long tribe, there are two left, one is the same agricultural tribe as the Tao tribe, and the other is a fishing tribe called the Hai tribe.
Because of the flooding of the lake, the agricultural tribes, like the old Tao tribes, are now unable to support themselves, let alone pay tribute to the Lu tribe. Another fishing tribe, although the production is insufficient, but the harvest is guaranteed by drought and flood, and it needs to be supplied at any time. Therefore, the Hai tribe has become the only way back for the Lu tribe, but it is also a solid guarantee.
Long Qiupeng repeatedly weighed that no matter how he calculated, the Long tribe did not have the ability to directly fight with the Lu tribe and fight militarily. If you want to take advantage of the temporary food shortage and defeat the Furnace tribe with one blow, then the Hai tribe is an obstacle that must be removed.
This plan seems to have only one core work, but for a nascent tribe, each plan is a trigger and a whole body, so step by step, each item must be considered clearly. The development of the core work inevitably requires several peripheral tasks to maintain, and the most peripheral work is to maintain the basic production balance of the tribe after handing over the five stags. At this moment, the deer entered Long Qiupeng's room with the stream and the big lake.
Maybe he was curious about what happened to them in the Lu tribe, or maybe he was worried about Long Qiupeng, who had slept for a day and a night, in the eyes of Xi and Xiong, he saw a lot of worry and care, and also had a lot of doubts and curiosity. But Long Qiupeng skipped all the greetings and answers, and said straight to the point: "I promised them seven more bucks." ”
Xi didn't speak, didn't even show any unhappiness, it seemed that she was slowly getting used to Long Qiupeng's bold and absolute leadership. However, out of instinct, Xiong asked in surprise: "Why?" ”
Xi glared at Xiong, Xiong sighed knowingly, but Long Qiupeng didn't blame Xiong, but smiled at Xiong comfortingly: "Don't worry, we will soon have a new production method." ”
Xiong's brain was straight, and he said again: "It's not worrying, it's ......" Xiong said halfway, and when he saw Long Qiupeng's cold eyes, he swallowed the second half of the sentence back.
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at the stream and asked, "Now we need the food stock of five bucks, in nine days." ”
After a little thought, Creek said: "The current stock is enough, but it is mainly wild boar. ”
"That's good." The so-called has food in his hands, and his heart is not panicked, and Long Qiupeng is relieved to know that his back bank is full, and he continued: "After four days, prepare pork for three stag first, half of which will be sent to the whole pig, and the other half will leave the fur and fat. Nine days later, two more bucks were delivered, the black bear was sent, and the rest was made up with jerky. Is this stressful? ”
Xi was still more cautious, and he didn't open his mouth in the face of Long Qiupeng's question, but the bear with a tendon brain rushed to say loudly: "No problem!" ”
Long Qiupeng didn't say anything, just smiled at the bear and nodded to the stream. The outermost work was easily solved.
In order to show the special identity of Xi and Xiong and take care of their emotions, he did not let Dahu and Taomu in when talking to them, and at this time the foundation work was completed, he ordered Dahu and Taomu to come in.
But before he can start the next topic, Long Qiupeng has one more thing to do.
Xi and Xiong, as the deputy leaders of the tribe, turned out to be the heads of the clan, and both of them were proud and powerful, except for Long Qiupeng and his cronies Lu, they didn't pay attention to the others.
The three tribes that merged, and the Tao tribe, which provoked the war, have always been in absolute weakness. Therefore, even if Dahu, as the person in charge of the current pottery department, has superb skills, but in the eyes of primitive people with simple minds and well-developed limbs, he is always just a timid coward, unwilling to tolerate and believe in him.
To the present day, Tao has become a tribal worker, and although they are not treated as slaves and can enjoy the same living conditions, the rights and voice of the Great Lake are completely denied. As a result, many "scientific research" projects in Dahu cannot be carried out smoothly.
Long Qiupeng has been looking for an opportunity, and this trip to the Furnace tribe has become an opportunity. So before anyone could speak, Long Qiupeng preemptively said in front of everyone: "Dahu, this time you can be regarded as saving the life of the deer in the Lu tribe, and you can also be regarded as a meritorious contribution to the tribe." ”
At this time, Dahu was full of gratitude to Long Qiupeng for rescuing Tao Mu, and knew that the so-called saving of the deer that day was just his own act of drinking and strengthening the bear's courage. So he hurriedly denied and said, "No! No! ”。 But before Dahu could open his mouth to explain, Long Qiupeng raised his hand to stop him from continuing. he
Long Qiupeng said loudly: "Don't say anything, this matter is like this." After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the deer, and the deer tacitly understood what he meant, and then turned his head to Xi and Xiong and nodded, expressing his approval of what Long Qiupeng had just said.
Although Xi and Xiong were still hesitant about this matter, since Long Qiupeng and Lu both said that it was indeed the case, primitive people with simple brain circuits had no reason to doubt it, so they cast a look at Dahu with impressive eyes, and Xi even showed a trace of gratitude in his eyes.
Dahu was lifted, a little cramped, but the intelligent Tao Mu, kept saying grateful words to Xi and Xiong, the new "lady show" lover of the old clan of the original Tao tribe, helped Dahu add a lot of points.
Long Qiupeng didn't speak, just watched everyone from the sidelines, and discussed with each other back and forth. When Xi and Xiong quieted down, the eyes of the two people looking at the lake became different. Long Qiupeng felt that his foreshadowing had played a role, and in this way, he not only took the opportunity to consolidate Dahu's position in the tribe, but also allowed Dahu and Taomu to be more desperate for themselves.
Such a trouble, although it wronged the deer, but it completely paved the way for Long Qiupeng to reuse the lake next.
After sparing a large circle, Long Qiupeng issued an intermediate task to Dahu: "Next, Dahu leads the Taobu people to concentrate on the development of the tribe's fishery on the basis of ensuring the normal development of the house reconstruction. In addition to the three boats and nets, half of the tribe's pigskins could also be used as rafts for research. Archers need to be trained to shoot accurately on ships. ”
If it had been before, Brook and Bear would have persuaded him to take back the order, but now everything is in order. Since there was no objection, the people were ordered to disperse.
Although the people of these primitive tribes have an upright temperament, the few scheming thoughts seem to Long Qiupeng to be simply pediatric. But this simplicity is not only internal, but also external. The newly merged tribe has a lot of people, and once they make their plans public, they may flow unhindered to the ears of the other party.
The real core task cannot be told to everyone.
Long Qiupeng, who had been sitting on the bed and had been unable to disobey, saw that the others were gone, so he immediately stood up and came to the deer, he gently patted the deer's shoulder and said: "Among the four boats, you lead one, when you go to the Lu tribe to deliver food, you have to follow, how the boat goes, how to stop, you have to pay attention to it carefully, and if you have the opportunity, you must go to their warehouse to check the situation." In addition, be sure to let the exploration team draw some people out and follow the waters, and be sure to find the location of the Hai tribe as soon as possible, otherwise all plans may fall through in the end. ”
After saying this, Long Qiupeng looked at the deer: "This time, whether you feel that it is too dangerous or too difficult, you can choose to refuse." ”
