Chapter 12 Internal and external troubles

The Lu clan suddenly sent a clansman named Qingmang, who seemed to want to give Long Qiupeng a dismissal, but he had traveled back to the primitive society from modern civilization, and he had experienced too many more complex human feelings than this, and the thoughts of the other party's leader were easily deduced by Long Qiupeng.

If Long Qiupeng was weak and incompetent, and was frightened by Qingmang's arrogance and arrogance, then whoever was put on the throne would be the same for the Lu tribe. If Long Qiupeng doesn't eat this set, or is provoked by Qingmang, then the other party will execute Qingmang as soon as possible to win Long Qiupeng's favor and shake Dahu's position in Long Qiupeng's heart, thus intensifying the conflict, and the Lu clan will choose the opportunity to shake the tribal rule, and finally create another slave tribe like Taobu.

So in the end, Qingmang is just a pawn of the other party's leader, kept in the dark.

Long Qiupeng calmed Dahu and asked him to lead the pottery workers to rest for a day. He waited for the banquet to continue to play against Qingmang. After sending away the big lake, the deer stood silently aside, not daring to squeak.

Seeing the nervous deer, Long Qiupeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, it should still be under my control, but before the plan is completed, it may be necessary to work hard for everyone." ”

Long Qiupeng smiled easily and spoke in a calm tone. So, the deer also relaxed a lot, although he didn't know what Long Qiupeng was going to do, but he believed in Long Qiupeng's judgment, he patted his chest and said a newly learned idiom to Long Qiupeng: "Don't give up!" ”

There is no need to die, the hurry to come back just now, the fruits of the morning's labor were all thrown in the woods, Long Qiupeng asked Lu to find a few people to go up the mountain to help him find more trunks to come back.

Although a strategic compromise is needed at present, in the face of such a powerful and cunning opponent, the war is also a matter of an instant, and the technological gap is so large that it is irreparable, but the bow and arrow are cold weapons that can cross time and space, and it is the only choice to make up for the technological gap. From production tools to strategic materials, the priority of bow and arrow manufacturing has risen several levels in a row, and it cannot withstand half a minute of delay.

Waiting for the time of the banquet, Long Qiupeng repeatedly deduced in his heart a few times, although he boasted to the deer about Haikou, but all this was just a big gamble for him after all, and all the wins and losses could only be seen when he was on the gambling table.

At this time, the news of the banquet came from the kitchen, and he adjusted his mood and prepared to start this psychological warfare.

There is limited food left in the Long Qiupeng tribe, so it is a banquet, but in fact, there are not many things to eat, and the people accompanying the banquet are just standing on the side, and the only people sitting are Qingmang, Long Qiupeng and Dahu.

Dahu was in a dilemma, he lowered his head and didn't speak, Qingmang was dismissed by Long Qiupeng just now, and he refused to bow his head and say a word. The clansmen who sat with him showed rejection and disgust for this uninvited guest, and the atmosphere in the banquet was tense.

"Qingmang, can you take a look at what is in your waist." In the end, it was Long Qiupeng who broke the silence in the banquet first, he didn't want to show flattery for no reason, and he didn't want the other party to feel that he was difficult, this balance was very delicate, he could only start with the bronze that the other party was proud of.

Qingmang heard Long Qiupeng mention the bronze, and sure enough, he picked up his arrogance again, he untied the short knife in his waist and raised it high at will. Seeing Qingmang's arrogant attitude, Lu was afraid that Long Qiupeng would fall, so he consciously took a few steps forward and took the copper knife.

Long Qiupeng took the knife and looked at it carefully, he was not an expert in bronzes, and he just looked at it, but he pretended to be novel and appreciative, and looked at it again and again for a long time, and finally held the knife, respectfully came to Qingmang's side, and gently put the knife in his hand.

"It's amazing!" From the posture of Qingmang's nostrils rushing to the sky, Long Qiupeng saw that he was very useful, and hurriedly added a compliment.

Qingmang thought that he had shocked Long Qiupeng, and deliberately shook the bronze knife in front of Long Qiupeng a few times before putting it away, and then said straight to the point: "In fact, whoever is the leader of this tribe is the same for the leader of our family, the key is that as long as you are willing to listen to the words of the leader of our family, you will not be treated badly." ”

He saw Long Qiupeng laugh when he heard this, and he laughed too, but he didn't know that Long Qiupeng laughed completely because of this line, I don't know how many times I watched it on TV, the flag stood high, and he didn't have to guess to know what was behind. Long Qiupeng got off the donkey and asked reverently: "How can I listen to your leader?" ”

Qingmang glanced around at Long Qiupeng's tribe, obviously assessing the production capacity of this tribe, and then opened his mouth and said, "Before winter, ten stags!" "Ten bucks, of course, does not refer to ten stags, but to other prey that can be equal to ten stags, such as thirty wild boars, or five bears, and so on. But this hunting ability has almost reached the limit of the tribe, and the faces of the people who are listening instantly turn pale.

Long Qiupeng smiled in his heart and said: "I really dare to open my mouth, do I know what sustainable development is." His face was expressionless, as if he was struggling fiercely inside. After a moment of silence, he asked in a determined tone, "What do we get?" ”

When the other party heard Long Qiupeng ask like this, he knew that he wanted to compromise and obey, so he took out a gentle and humble gesture for the first time today and whispered to Long Qiupeng: "We are the marriage tribe, mine, and yours!" ”

"Deal!" Long Qiupeng pretended to think about it again, and quickly gave Qingmang a reply. The people of the tribe were like blowing up a pot, and they were boiling and talking.

But he didn't seem to hear it, and just told his people to prepare the luggage for Qingmang's return journey and send him on his way later.

Sent Qingmang away, the first one to come to the door was Xi, she was as angry and irritable as ever and yelled at Long Qiupeng: "You will kill everyone!" Fortunately, Lu was still on Long Qiupeng's side and helped him stop his sister.

Long Qiupeng didn't want to give any explanation, given the special relationship between the Tao Department and the Furnace Clan, as well as the high and profound city of the leader of the Furnace Clan, he didn't plan to make the plan public now, he smiled at the river, but didn't say a word.

Under the persuasion of the deer several times, Xi Cai left Long Qiupeng's residence, but soon there were several waves of people, they all questioned Long Qiupeng's approach, afraid that Long Qiupeng would cause trouble for the tribe, and then Dahu also came, and complained about the cruelty and cunning of the leader of the Lu clan with tears in his eyes, and advised Long Qiupeng not to be fooled, but Long Qiupeng just laughed and sent them away.

Finally, the deer couldn't help but speak, "I believe you made the right decision, but I'm afraid the current tribe won't be able to get ten stag for them before winter." ”

Long Qiupeng looked around at no one, and said to the deer with a mysterious smile: "I didn't plan to give him ten bucks!" With that, he put his finger to his lips and told the deer that this was a secret between the two men.

The deer was both excited and frightened, and asked Long Qiupeng: "If they find out, will they start another war?" ”

Long Qiupeng shook his head easily and said: "It's all safe before spring, but I don't plan to let them survive the winter safely......" Lu saw the confident light in Long Qiupeng's eyes, and he was sure that all this had not escaped Long Qiupeng's arrangement.

However, for Long Qiupeng, now is not the time to talk nonsense and show off his IQ. It is impossible to give all ten stag to the Lu tribe, but if you want to catch big fish, you always have to throw some bait out, not to mention that the food shortage problem of the tribe itself has not yet been solved.

As he was thinking, the people sent out by the deer to cut down trees also came back one after another, and stacks of wood were laid down in front of the dragon's door. Long Qiupeng observed these woods, the production process of the basic bow and arrow is similar, as the first batch of experiments, Long Qiupeng does not plan to think too much about durability or lethality, but focuses on usability.

The strength of primitive people was slightly greater than that of modern people, but their height was generally short, and too large bows and arrows could become a burden for them to travel and hunt, or to fight from long distances, so Long Qiupeng finally decided to make short bows.

While the clansmen were still busy, Long Qiu began to make the bow, in fact, he still remembered the main production process, but some details were not cleared. Before dinner, he made a dozen bows out of different woods and set them aside, waiting to be dried tomorrow and tested.

The bowstring is naturally better to use deer tendons, but the reserves of rubber bands are not particularly large, but they are extraordinarily useful, and they belong to the rare equipment in the tribe, so they have to retreat to the next best thing and replace it with relatively tough straw ropes, which are said to be able to achieve good results.

If the making of a bow requires repeated attempts, the making of a sword is relatively simple, with the selected branches peeled and polished. Put the sharpened end on the fire and smoke it, and then polish it after it hardens, of course, you can also make sharper compound arrowheads, but Long Qiupeng felt that this was enough. Arrow feathers are split according to the needs of the bird's feathers, glued to the body of the arrow, and finally reinforced with a thinner rope.

As soon as the sky was dark, Long Qiupeng's first batch of bows and arrows had already been baked, and he and the deer made a few quiver pots out of tree bark, preparing for the next day, and when the bows and arrows were dry, they carried them up the mountain to try the arrows.

At this time, the hunters of the Ryobe also came back one after another, and although there was still some harvest, the harvest was still not ideal. Creek calculates again and again, announcing that the tribe has entered the stage of food austerity.

Xi's decision was not reported to Long Qiupeng, and was directly announced to everyone in the tribe, and Long Qiupeng knew that she must be angry about what happened during the day.

Lu wanted to persuade Xi, but was stopped by Long Qiupeng, he didn't want Lu to be a lobbyist every time, and he didn't want to get used to these people, he needed a resolute and loyal clansman like Lu. In the face of a dangerous unknown world, Long Qiupeng's ability alone cannot do it.

In a primitive society where the hierarchy is not so strict, it is really possible to be pulled down from the altar if you relax a little, and now Long Qiupeng feels that he can't relax for a moment.
