This is an era of closed information. Communication between villages is entirely by walking, and loud yelling is the only means of long-distance communication.

A group of women from Panshi Village returned to their respective villages to visit relatives, which soon became a topic of interest for the local villagers.

It's really incredible, they didn't eat it as food last winter, but lived a nourishing life one by one. The smooth skin looks like they have eaten a lot of meat, the thick and round waist indicates that they are not short of food, and even the sides of the rough and slightly dark cheeks appear to represent a healthy flush.

Bad breath was disgusting in civilized times, but in the simple cognitive logic of the northern barbarians, it meant eating well and having meat at a meal. The reason is very simple: the poor ghost who digs grass roots and gnaws the bark of trees all year round does not even smell of spicy, and only people who often eat meat can open their mouths to smell the special smell from the greasy stomach.

That's right, in this savage world, this is a status symbol.

There is enough food in Panshi Village.

Panshi Village does not kill people and sacrifice.

Panshi Village distributed materials to all the villagers to make clothes to wear.

There is a young and handsome leader in Panshi Village, the key is that he is not married, has no wife, and he is too young to be seduced by an ugly woman with a thin body and bones and no flesh...... It's not the old lady bragging, looking around, which girl in this village is not more beautiful than her?

Don't doubt it, I swear in the name of the gods that all this is true! Go ahead, don't hesitate, hurry up and go to Panshi Village, and you can get everything you want. Especially women, you have a good chance of becoming the wife of the owner of the village.

Tianhao swears that he has never given orders to the women who have returned home to visit their relatives to abduct people.

Many people were skeptical of what the women said, but when the women took out the cured meat and dried apples from the basket, their doubts were dispelled little by little.

Towards the end of autumn, the various villages are surging with undercurrents that have not been seen in previous years. People started talking about Panshi Village, and everything there was curious. Some people think that the news brought back by the women is fake, some people laugh at it, and some people are noncommittal and watch it coldly...... But it is undeniable that there are indeed some people who are tempted and prepared early.

Chaos begins with the poorest part of the population.

The principle of material distribution of the northern barbarians is public ownership. The rough text carved into the clay stencils tells us that this has been going on for thousands of years. Despite the supervision of tribal nobles, village chiefs, and shamans and priests, privatization of personal property was inevitable. Although less obvious, there is already a vague concept of the poor and the rich in the villages.

Every winter, when food is scarce, the first target is the poor. No one would dare to attack the leaders and the elders of the rich families unless they were consciously voluntary.

Run! Go to the legendary magical rock village. If the situation there is really as good as the women say, it will be a way out for the poor who can't survive. Even if they talk nonsense and deceive us, it's nothing, anyway, staying in the original village is death, and passing is death, and the gods will collect the souls of the dead, and we have nothing to lose.

A huge group of wanderers and fugitives continued to appear outside the Rock Village.

Just before Haoping, the steward of Qinglong Village, came, in a week, Panshi Village contained 324 people.

It's all old people and children. The oldest of them is over 65 years old, and he is a wilderness wanderer who was forced to flee many years ago due to war. The youngest was only five years old and a little girl from a nearby village.

"Give them broth."

"Give them a house."

"Give them their normal share of sixty percent of the food."

Tianhao's orders were filled with unquestionable majesty. He gave the inmates two days off and reduced their portion of food so they didn't die of overeating. He is a very close to the people, in the set up of the shelter to visit these people who took the initiative to take refuge, shake hands one by one, ask for warmth, especially when meeting children, he will always smile and take out a few sweet dried apples from his pocket.

At the end of the two-day break, Tianhao showed a cruel and indifferent side.

All the refugees who come to Panshi Village must work.

Sixty years of age, the elderly above this age are involved in boiling salt, kneading hemp rattan ropes, and weaving nets with the women of the village......

Children between the ages of nine and six had to follow the brigade to the beach to fish. Although they do not have much strength, they are good auxiliaries, helping to cast nets and pick up scattered fish on the shore.

Children under the age of six are more involved, walking back and forth between the blacksmith's shop, the artificial mill, the logging area and the fishing area, learning all the prescribed skills.

When Fu Song was in charge of the village, the old priest once thought of opening a wizard training school in the rock village. Year after year, the plan was not implemented, a large number of people were consumed during the winter season, and the fiery hearts of the old priests gradually grew cold.

Until now.

Tianhao fulfilled the old priest's long-standing wish. This is the equivalent of a small school. Before reaching adulthood at the age of ten, children can learn the written word and all the necessary barbarian basics under the guidance of the old priest. Only here they do not become food, put in someone else's belly.

The rest of them must participate in military training.

Especially archery.

There were three people who refused to obey orders.

They are all over sixty years old. The broth in Panshi Village tastes so fragrant that the warm room is a paradise for wanderers who spend a lot of time in the ice and snow. They don't think that the two-day rest period is a good treatment for themselves, but they feel that they can stay here for a long time with lies and rogue means.

Sick.

I'm not feeling well.

I'm old, I really don't have the strength, and I feel uncomfortable even walking panting......

In a word, I refuse any form of labor work.

Three bloody human heads were cut off in public, held up high by wooden poles several meters long, and stood in the middle of the Panshizhai Square.

Tianhao held a solemn sacrifice to the winter god. He showed his devotion to the gods with his deeds. Panshizhai did not fundamentally eliminate human sacrifice, he just didn't want to waste precious people in vain. But when it's time to kill, never be merciful.

When Haoping left the Panshi Village with a large number of gifts, he did not see the frozen head in the center of the square.

He didn't even enter the gate of the Rock Village.

A few days later, he brought the crowd from Qinglongzhai to make the agreed deal.
