Section 23 Family
A large piece of fish that is consumed by three-quarters of a meal alone. The huge body must have enough food to ensure it, which is one of the reasons for the shortage of food after the winter in Panshizhai.
Venison has tight fibers and is suitable for roasting. The terrifying legend of this mutant ribbon fish has been passed down for decades in Panshi Village, and although it has a long growth period, its muscle fibers are far less strong than those of terrestrial creatures. A pot of milky white soup and barbecued meat on an iron chisel made the first laughter from the food in the dilapidated wooden house.
Tianshuang was greedy, her cheeks bulged high, and the hot oil was not a problem for her at all. Swallowing barbecue meat in large gulps of fish broth seemed new to her. While eating, he vaguely praised in a row: "The meat cooked by the third brother is really delicious...... Fragrant! ”
Tianfeng has an astonishingly strong physique, and his recovery is getting better day by day with plenty of food and cultivation, and he can now sit up half-lying down with the help of others. As long as the range of motion is not large, the right arm will rise and fall slowly without pulling the left muscle, causing the wound to rupture. He took a skewer of barbecue and ate it slowly, chewing it carefully, the light of the fire reflected light and shade on the well-defined side face, and his calm movements were a true portrayal of his heart at the moment.
He never imagined that this family would actually become prosperous with the support of the third child. After the death of his parents, Tianfeng always told himself to take care of his three younger siblings, and he did so.
As an elder brother, he is very grateful to Tianhao for saving his life. Tianfeng's description of going out hunting was very detailed, and Tianfeng never dreamed that the third child would use a single cartilage to kill the tyrannical bear that was almost at the top of the food chain in the northern mountains. At that moment, he was slightly distracted. Immediately afterwards, it was extremely gratifying to the idea that "my brother has grown up".
A single hunt can get a huge harvest of thousands of giant horn deer, this kind of thing was not even thought of before, but it was done under the leadership of the third child. Tianfeng watched his younger brother lead the villagers to cut wood into a wind whistle, and he was puzzled by this, feeling that the actual effect might not be as good as the third child said. But the next day the whole village was boiling, and every household was given enough fresh venison to eat enough since the beginning of winter.
It's only been a few days, and the third child first became the "head of ten", and now he is about to be promoted to "head of a hundred".
In Panshi Village, the status of the head of a hundred people is equivalent to that of the leader. This means that after the leader Fu Song, the hunting captain Yonggang, and the old priest Wu Xing, the fourth person in power who has absolute say in the affairs of the village will be elected.
Tianfeng's heart became hot.
He wants to eat as much as possible, so that he will get better quickly, so that he can help Tianhao do things and establish a higher prestige in the village.
I have a younger brother to be proud of.
……
When Tianhao walked into Tong Biao's house, the whole family was roasting meat around the fire.
There are many blacksmiths in Panshi Village, and Tong Biao is one of them. This man, who was nearly forty years old, had a gigantic figure that seemed terrible to humans in the age of civilization. Two meters five, or two meters six, if Tianhao has a measuring tool in his hand, he can get an accurate number. He wears a sleeveless leather shoulder and bare arms. The copper-black skin tightly wraps around the strong muscles, and the root-like blood vessels emerge beneath the cortex with movement.
He has four sons, Yuan Kai, Yuan Zheng, Yuan Qi, and Yuan Meng are all adults, and the youngest daughter Yuan Lin is nine years old this year. According to the rules in the village, the men who have a family must be separated and singled. In addition to the fourth son Yuan Meng, who has not yet married, only his wife Ruoqiao and his youngest daughter Yuan Lin live with Tong Biao.
The marriage between men and women of the northern barbarians was very simple. Under normal circumstances, as long as he can get the equivalent of meat (fresh or dried) of a cow, or the equivalent of grain and cloth, a man can marry the woman he likes.
Tong Biao hurriedly gave up the warmest position by the fire pit, urged his wife to scoop out a bowl of hot broth from the pot, held it with both hands, and respectfully sent it to Tianhao.
Today by the sea, Tong Biao was the first person to stand up and kneel down to Tianhao to show his allegiance.
In the primitive era of low productivity, the size of the population directly affected the strength of the group. Tong Biao has four adult sons, and he can be regarded as a person with weight in his speech in Panshi Village. Even the three chiefs of the stockade usually had to be polite to him. But such a person who is equivalent to a "rich man" in the civilized era actually chose to be subordinate to Tianhao in public and obey.
On the way back to the village from the sea, Tianhao has figured out the key.
This year's snow was so great that it completely destroyed people's hopes of survival. Panshi Village kills people every winter because of lack of food, but this year there are many people killed. The order of the elderly, children, and women has long been fixed. For his relatives, he must not be able to do it. At this time, the head of the stockade will list each family in the ranking and exchange the targets that need to be slaughtered. Without the heavy psychological burden, there will be no softness when killing people.
Tong Biao's wife happened to be in the prime of life, she married Tong Biao at the age of twelve, in addition to the four sons and one daughter she has now, there are also three children who have not been able to raise a stool and died. A woman in her thirties has given birth to eight children at such an age, this number makes Tianhao feel his scalp tingle just thinking about it, but this kind of thing is normal in the eyes of the northern barbarians. Naturally, women are reduced to fertility machines.
Every time you give birth, you consume a lot of nutrients from the mother. Ruoqiao, who has given birth to too many children, looks withered and does not look like a middle-aged woman at all. Standing with Tong Biao, it is entirely possible that he will be thought to be his mother or even his grandmother by someone who does not know.
According to the order of the "reserve grain" in the stockade, if the hunger continues to spread, it will soon be Ruoqiao's turn.
Next, there are Tongbiao's daughters-in-law, and maybe even the youngest daughter Yuan Lin.
The appearance of Tianhao changed all that. With enough bear meat and venison, no one in the village will die this winter, and everyone will be able to survive and eat well.
Only when the warehouse is full can we know the season. Tong Biao's father did die in the mouth of the mutant emperor ribbon fish while fetching water at the seaside. The kindness that transcended the two full age levels made the well-fed Tong Biao emotional at the moment when he saw the giant fish in the sea freezing to death, and it was difficult to control himself, and he took the initiative to make the decision to be loyal to Tianhao.
Yes, he has a strong sense of gratitude to Tianhao. However, among the real factors that drove Tong Biao to kneel at that time, only 50 percent of them could be accounted for.
Tong Biao grew up watching Tianhao. No one thought that this thin boy who was originally labeled as a "lazy ghost" in the village and even included in the next batch of food shortage slaughter lists would have wisdom far beyond ordinary people. At a young age, he became the "head of ten" and was appreciated by the three leaders of the village. What's more, when the ballista was set up on the beach, Tong Biao overheard a conversation between the three leaders.
A new "hundred heads" are about to be born in the stockade. This means that the young Tianhao will gain more power than he does now.
The most direct is the right to food distribution.
Inflammation is an instinct of many people. This cannot be simply judged as a pejorative understanding. The living conditions of Panshi Village are so harsh that no one wants their relatives at home to be ranked first on the list of "reserve grain". At this time, it is necessary to have a good relationship with the leader of the stockade. The so-called "reach out and don't hit the smiling person", for those who usually walk around frequently in front of him, have more contacts, and have a good relationship, the leader Fu Song will also move them back when deciding the order of the list. This is a very delicate act, enough to make the difference between life and death for someone. After all, suffering and hunger will shrink from strong endurance. Perhaps just a few days of culling delays could find more food sources.
With a wise mind, he can lead everyone to more prey, and the three leaders of the stockade praise him, and he is about to take control...... This is the decisive factor that prompts Tongbiao to be loyal to Tianhao, and the proportion even exceeds that of "Cang Li, Know the Season".
Don't think that barbarians are fools who only grow muscles and not brains.
Tianhao took a sip of the broth, and the strong fishy smell completely dispelled his interest in the bowl of soup. He put aside the wooden bowl containing the soup, looked at Tong Biao who was sitting diagonally across the fire pit with his legs crossed, and said with a smile: "Uncle Biao, I want to ask you to help me build a few weapons." ”
Tong Biao was quickly freed from his initial restraints. His rough palms rubbed against each other, and he smiled, "This kind of thing is also worth your trip?" Just ask someone to spread the word! ”
"Uncle Biao is an old man in the village, and when my father was alive in the past, he often praised Uncle Biao for your good craftsmanship and the quality of the things you created." Tianhao carefully observed Tong Biao's expression, and his mouth was full of praise. Tong Biao was a little embarrassed by what he said, "hey, hey, hey" smiled and scratched his head with his fingers. The youngest son, Yuan Meng, listened happily next to him, and even Ruoqiao and Yuan Lin, who were sitting in the corner of the wooden house, were attracted by the conversation between them, and couldn't help but move some distance to this side, smiling in agreement.
Crafting weapons is just an excuse. Tianhao's real purpose is to see the "peat" that is indispensable for forging weapons.
This is part of the host's memory. Of course, he had seen "peat", but he couldn't understand what it was. Tianhao, who had successfully parasitized, was a little puzzled by this, and he subconsciously thought that it should be coal, but the image in the host's memory fragment was very different from the material he was familiar with.
Tianhao noticed that there were a lot of black things that looked like stones in the corners of the room. He smiled and raised his hand to point over there, "That's peat?" ”
