(The new book update will be slower, and the chapters are also being adjusted (helpless), thank you for your support, Lao Hei worship!) ）

The steward casually ordered the two guards standing next to him, raised his hand and pointed at Tianhao: "You press his shoulders tightly and don't move, I'll come this time." This kid looks like he's inpatient, and if he screams later, he might collapse the roof and wet his pants on the spot. ”

There will never be absolute fairness, and there will never be a shortage of sons and daughters who enjoy the well-being of the family and elders in any era. Guys who rely on others to take care of themselves and get the position of the head of the hundred often appear here. Most of them could not survive the soldering iron, and several people had to go up at the same time and press them to the ground, and complete the execution of their identities amid painful screams.

Tianhao stood steadily, and the firelight reflected a faltering tall shadow behind him: "Don't bother so much. Give me the soldering iron, and I'll do it myself. ”

The steward felt that there must be something wrong with his ears. He was surprised and asked uncertainly, "What did you say?" ”

"I said, I'll do it myself." Tianhao repeated.

There was a gasping "sizzle" all around, and even those who had already been branded on the wooden benches sitting on the wall stood up one after another, walked over, and looked at this young boy who did not know the height of the sky with uncertain eyes.

At such times, words are not as convincing as deeds.

Tianhao strode over to the fire pit and picked up a soldering iron that had been plugged into the fire to keep the temperature hot. The palm is red, and in the middle of the round frame is a thick, diagonal horn. Feeling the heat gushing from the hot metal surface at hand, he had a deep understanding of the bravery of the barbarians for the first time.

This is a quality that is deeply rooted in the bones and blood.

In front of everyone's eyes, the red-hot soldering iron turned around and pressed accurately on the upper end of Tianhao's left arm. The skin and flesh were instantly scalded, and the smoke mixed with a thick scorched paste impacted the onlookers' sense of sight and smell. Tianhao's lips pursed, and his slightly quivering cheeks showed that he was clenching his teeth hard. But throughout, he didn't make the slightest movement, not even the slightest faint nasal sound.

There was a dead silence in the room, and everyone's faces changed color, even those like stewards and guards who were accustomed to the process of imprinting their identities. They knew very well what kind of pain it was, especially when the hot soldering iron was just in contact with the body, and the pain that lasted more than ten seconds was really unbearable. If you change someone with poor tolerance, it is enough to make them nervous breakdown.

This young man actually completed the identity imprint on his own without any help and assistance.

The astonishment in the steward's eyes was dissipating, and the previous disdain and ridicule were long gone. He subconsciously glanced down at the roster of animal skins in his hand, and let out a solemn voice full of respect that he had never seen before.

"Panshi Village, the first day of the new 100 people, the ceremony."

The leather robe was slung over his shoulder, and Tianhao, who looked calm, turned around and walked in the direction of the gate. Countless eager adoring eyes converged on him, accompanied by bursts of amazement.

"This guy is so good, he didn't ask anyone else for help at all!"

"Good man, this is the man of our cattle clan."

"Rock Village? Tianhao? I'll have to go back and ask if he's married. ”

Walking outside, Tianhao shivered with coldness, and hurriedly shrank his head and put on a leather robe.

Pretending to be forced is a realm.

Surviving in a culture chamber for a long time in the form of cells has to pay a lot of price that the average person cannot afford. Although parasitism is successful, the host is not Tianhao's ideal goal. He sighed a little, why didn't he meet Niu Tong or Wu Yuan when he had just come out of the cultivation cabin? In this way, the starting point in this strange world will become very high, and many things will be much easier.

Full control and occupation of the host body, and the regulation of the nerve center is also carried out at the same time. In the conscious situation, the nerve endings of the local body can be blocked for a short time by blocking the blood, and the state of temporary numbness can be achieved.

Such a piece of flesh, not to mention a scald, even if the whole muscle is cut off directly with a knife, Tianhao will not feel pain. However, this condition does not last long, and the blocked nerve endings must be restored in half an hour at most, otherwise it will cause regional necrosis in a local area.

The image of a brave man, which is one of the dependencies for survival in a savage world.

……

At noon on the third day, Tianhao met Niu Weibang, the patriarch of the Lei Niu clan, in the City Lord's Mansion.

This is a man in his mid-thirties. The long black hair is specially trimmed and the sides are shaved off, leaving only a strip about ten centimeters wide in the middle. I don't know what kind of pigment was used to dye the hair iron gray, and it dragged all the way to the waist, which has the taste of a hippie in the civilized era.

He had a stern look and a strong waist. The thin sleeveless shirt was worn on the body, and the pectoral muscles were tense and bulging high. Within the entire race, he is the king of the true word, and no one questions his power.

"Boy from Panshi Village, I heard about you." The sturdy Lei Niu patriarch leaned on the bed, and his shrewd gaze firmly locked on Tianhao, who was half-kneeling five meters away: "The archery competition is over, your method is very effective, we won." ”

Without waiting for Tianhao to answer, Niu Weibang continued to make a sarcastic voice of indifference and contempt: "Do you feel very proud? Do you think I should give you a good reward? That's what that bastard said. You healed him, but he said a lot of good things for you in front of me, and he almost praised you as a flower...... Hehe, three to two wins, the people of the Blood Eagle Department lost reluctantly, they kept saying that we were cheating, and we had to compete in the fairest way and do it all over again. ”

Tianhao remained on one knee and half kneeling. He didn't understand Niu Weibang's attitude, and he didn't know where the other party's coldness came from. But one thing is certain: the patriarch of the Thunder Bull tribe has no good feelings about him.

"Winning is winning, and the means don't matter. It's not impossible to compare again, but you must come back next year according to your wishes, Your Highness the Patriarch. Tianhao could only carefully speculate on the unique thinking of the tribal patriarch according to the little information he had.

Niu Weibang's voice began to become low: "I only remind you once: You can call me His Royal Highness the King of Lei Niu, or you can call me His Royal Highness directly." The king did not like the title "patriarch". ”

Tianhao lowered his head: "As you wish, Your Highness." ”

Niu Weibang glanced at him, picked up the animal skin document placed on the low table next to him, threw it out with his backhand, and landed in front of Tianhao lightly: "This is the document you sent." Next year, 80 percent of the grain will be handed over, and there will be a tribute of 3,000 deer. Hum! Just a rock village, a small village with less than 300 people, where do you get so many tributes? The crime of deceiving the king, that is to kill the head! ”

Tianhao didn't defend at all, and there was a calmness in his eyes: "This is what the leader meant, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Niu Weibang was surprised by these words. He frowned slightly, and continued to sneer in the tone of his previous speech: "It seems that the leader of Panshizhai is a brainless guy, you are obviously not his cronies, and you are not on his side. ”

"We paid 70 percent of all the harvest this year, and there is not enough food in the stockpile. When it snows, people start killing people in the stockade. The elderly, the children, the women...... If we continue to pay grain according to the 80 percent share next year, I am afraid that no one in the village will survive. Tianhao stated the facts in a calm tone.

Niu Weibang's eyes revealed a trace of coldness: "Are you questioning the authority of your village leader? ”

Tianhao stared at the light gray hard ground in front of him: "I did not disobey his orders, I brought the uncensored documents and worshiped them in front of the king." ”

Niu Weibang heard something different from this: "So, your village has indeed got a lot of prey, can you really take out the tribute of 3,000 deer?" ”

"Yes." Tianhao recounted the hunt in a plain tone. He focused on the data, especially when it came to the small number of villagers in Panshi Village compared to the tens of thousands of giant horned deer herds, which were shockingly clear.

"We drove a large herd of wild deer into the valley and fell to their deaths. There are too many to count, maybe four thousand, maybe five thousand. So we can give a tribute of three thousand deer, and that's true. If you don't believe it, you can let someone follow me back to Panshi Village, and you will know at a glance. ”

When he said these words, Tianhao kept his head down. He strives to play the role of a lowly man who obeys orders.

Niu Weibang's indifferent expression changed slightly, and his breathing became long: "The leader of your village is a person with a heart. This tribute, the king smiled. ”

The favorite thing for those in higher positions is to be loyal to their subordinates. It doesn't matter whether you have the ability or not, as long as you are obedient and resolutely obey orders.

Hearing this, Tianhao hurriedly raised his head and spoke a little faster than just now: "Please also ask Your Highness to send someone to our village as soon as possible to transport the tribute back." ”

In Niu Weibang's view, this request is not excessive: "There are few people in Panshi Village, and it is far away from the city of this king's residence, so it is indeed very difficult to transport 3,000 deer. Now, now that the snow is deep and slippery, and transportation is inconvenient, you go back and tell your chieftain that he should prepare the venison, and wait until the snow melts next year, and then the king will send someone to fetch it. ”
