When winter comes, the wild beasts in the mountains will rush out from time to time to feed, and the number of tribal patrols will gradually increase.
"Hey, this year doesn't seem to be as cold as in previous years" The tanuki on the side came out to play with a hot mouth.
"It's not the weather, it's because we have to wear thick clothes," he said, shaking the snow off his body and looking into the distance.
Each of them had a fur suit, from a hat covering his ears, a high-necked leather coat, leather trousers, and leather shoes, and his whole body was tightly wrapped. Not to mention the snow drifting in, not even the wind can blow in. And there is a large cloak on the back to protect it. It's hard to feel cold in such a snowy day.
"Hehe, the sacrificial lord is mighty! Hey, what's going to be for lunch today? Will there be a flower chicken? "They came late for a shift change, and they can go back to the tribe at noon today for a hot meal.
"You think too much, today it's still meat stewed taro, bamboo shoots fried meat, and wild vegetable soup!" The warriors who rushed to change shifts heard his blind thoughts and immediately burst their imaginations.
"That's not bad either! The taste made by the sacrificial adults is simply not tired of eating it a hundred times," the tanuki drools when he thinks about it now.
"That's it! Go back! It's not too late," they had already eaten, and as long as they were on duty outside, they were the first to eat, so they knew how the dishes were.
"Hey, you're still trying to lie to me? Who doesn't know that everything is for us? ”
The tanuki is a foodie like the big cow, but the big cow eats it and grows meat, but the tanuki must not grow long, but fortunately he is known for his speed, otherwise he would not find a reason to become a warrior.
In fact, warriors are also ordinary people, but they are selected based on strength and personal expertise, and they are generally tested by the leader, and after that, they will be crowned warriors. In other tribes, warriors are paid a higher level than the average person. But there is no such phenomenon in the Ji tribe, the only difference may be to do more things, and the fire tribe that joined is not averse to this, and also supports such fairness.
"Haha!" The warriors who deceived people and were debunked were not annoyed, and laughed to hide their embarrassment.
After the winter, the number of people patrolling the tribe in the tribe increased to 30, and only 10 people went out, and the tribe had prepared a lot of food before the winter, plus the food of the fire tribe was even more before, and those who hunted were just to meet the needs of eating fresh meat and checking the surrounding situation in the distance.
Inside the tribe, because the depth of the snow is relatively thick, women, children and the elderly do manual work in the house.
The old man made the rattan armor to be worn by the warriors, and the women made the clothes. The children sorted the beans and ears of wheat that Li Yue had made.
The man is striking iron in the cave, and Li Yue will prepare to open up a lot of wasteland in the spring next year, and the agricultural tools needed must be made urgently.
"Lord Sacrifice, your plow is too heavy, how can we use it?" Following the two old men of Ge Bu Tianshi, Dan has seen a lot, and his ability to strike iron is higher than that of ordinary disciples, but he still doesn't understand what Li Yue does.
Well? That's right! Li Yue suddenly thought that they didn't have Xunhua cows and horses yet!
"Well, when the time comes, let's pull it first, and then we will use the cow to pull it."
"Cow? How can those bad-tempered cows make them work obediently? Dan's impression of cattle is that they hit people when they are unhappy, and even fierce beasts rarely use them as food.
"Well, we can make a bullring first, put it on his nose, and then he will be obedient, well, you can also circulate the horse next year"
"Horses can grow crops too?" They felt that horses were much less lethal than cattle with bad tempers, and in addition to running fast, tempers were easier to control than cattle with tempers.
"Horses can't work, but we can domesticate them, and you can ride them when you travel" You have to rely on a pair of legs to come here, Li Yue also plans to wait for the tribe to set up a shelf to go to the western tribe and the north to see, and then it is absolutely impossible to rely on the feet.
"That's good, why didn't we think of it?" Dan imagined it for a while, and felt that as Li Yue said, it would be much more convenient to do anything at that time.
Dan is an ordinary man, a man who does not have strong force, and can only engage in some things that warriors do not have time to do, such as iron-making, pottery-making, etc.
After his observation all along, although they did not have the strength of warriors, they all had their hearts to become warriors.
The tribe will definitely get better and better in the future, and have more things, and it is impossible for the tribe to pick up the sorghum by the warriors, and there will be hidden dangers of status and hierarchy over time, which will affect the harmonious development of the tribe.
Moreover, the premise of the tribe's wealth is to be strong, and their warriors cannot be compared to ordinary tribes.
It is necessary to vigorously increase the strength of men, after all, the tribe will only develop faster and faster, and it will definitely communicate with other tribes when the time comes.
Therefore, these men must have the ability to protect themselves and go into battle to kill the enemy, since there is no warrior who is fast, then ride a horse, and if there is no warrior strength, then the weapon must be sharp enough, melee combat is not good, and long-range attack is not possible?
Li Yue didn't want his hard work to be plundered casually. I don't want to see my people become slaves of others.
So when will this plan be implemented? You have to think about it.
"Little plum blossom! We're running out of firewood! ”
"Howler!" The one named Little Plum Blossom immediately went out, and the snow wind shivered on the girl's body, and Plum Blossom hurriedly pulled the cloak on her body. Run to the small house and add firewood. Then scoop the hot water and put it in the clay pot.
"Sisters, let's drink some hot water!" Little Peach Blossom puts the clay pot on the ground. Take the clothes that you didn't sew just now and continue.
The woman who had just lifted the clay pot and was about to pour water remembered something, and immediately put the pot down again.
"Forget it, forget it, drink too much water and wait to go to the toilet, too lazy to go"
"That's it, and it's too troublesome to carry it so far when the commode is full" The woman on the side wanted to drink it, but she dispelled it when she heard it.
The sisters in the room all nodded.
"Yes, the sacrifice said that it will be planted and eaten next year with those things, it's really incredible, it's very strange that vegetables can be planted, why do you still need to use those things to grow, it's rare that there won't be a taste when we eat it in the future?"
They are talking about human excrement, because Li Yue said that they have to collect urine and urine and use it to grow food next year.
"It seems a bit if you think about it, but what the priest said is right! Have you eaten the intestines of that wild boar or pheasant before? No, it's not that the sacrificial lord made it delicious, and which of you has eaten that smell? Who eats and gets sick again? The woman is obviously Li Yue's brainless fan, and she only said yes.
"Yes! Believe in the sacrifice of the Lords"
"Just that's it"
"Don't slander the Priest Lord!"
A room full of women chimed in. It made the woman who had questioned it before blush.
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just strange," the woman whispered.
Plum blossom looked at all this and smiled.
She was the fiancée of a warrior in the Fire Tribe, because of the attack of the Beast Tribe, her fiancé died, she was sad and thought about not wanting to live, but she was caught by them and sent to the Western Tribe as a slave.
The moment she watched her fellow clansmen being treated cruelly because of their wailing and crying against their relatives, she realized that she had to live, and she would not do anything to the enemy even if she died! She wants to avenge her fiancé and her dead people! Even if she died, she was willing.
Fortunately, the people of the Ji tribe saved them before Meihua did something stupid, and she wanted to take revenge and also consider the safety of the rest of the tribe, so she was quiet for the time being. Thinking that even if she was rescued, she might be thrown away, and then she would kill them!
Who knew that the sacrifice was a gentle person, he gave them an analysis of the disadvantages of the beast tribe now, hoping that it would not be too late for them to accumulate strength and take revenge, and consider the clansmen wholeheartedly, so that they could rest assured, saying that everyone was born with his meaning, and that people should not lose their brilliance because of some things and some setbacks, and I believe that the relatives who have left also hope that they will live better.
Plum blossom thought of her gentle fiancé when she listened to it, and understood the meaning of Li Yue's words. A straw called hope suddenly sprung up in my heart.
She grabbed it, she understood that the priestess was collecting a lot of food seeds, and she wanted the next generation of people to never suffer like this again.
So she gave her the gold that her fiancé gave her to the priest to see if it could be useful, according to his fiancé, this thing is loved by birds and animals, and he himself has eaten a little, indicating that it is non-poisonous and can be used. Unfortunately, it was too hard, so I gave it to her as an ornament.
Who knew that the priest was very happy when he saw it, and kept praising her, she knew that this thing was what the sacrifice wanted, and she was really happy to do her part.
Later, the two talked for a long time. Meihua knew that these things were called corn, and they were food that could feed tens of millions of people. And the festival will be planted on a large scale next year, so that the tribe will no longer go hungry for generations.
They had met God, she thought, and God had come to deliver them!
"Don't go, Sacrifice Lord, just fly them as much as you want, it's too dangerous for such a heavy snow," said one of the warriors.
"No, if I don't go, I won't be able to collect more seeds" Take the corn as an example, their tribe didn't have it, but the light tribe found it, which means that a lot of food has appeared, and now he just needs to find it, he doesn't want to miss the high-yielding crops like potatoes and sweet potatoes.
"Then at least bring some more people," the old people persuaded bitterly.
"That's it, Brother Feng is so unreliable" jumped out to the side and hugged Li Yue's arm.
Li Yue was preparing the equipment needed to travel to the surrounding tribes, and whoever knew it was known by the clansmen, and now he was blocked.
With him is the fly, the wind, and the more. Bringing more safety is guaranteed, but it means something different for other tribes. Especially when the Fire Tribe was robbed. So Li Yue was indifferent to their dissuasion.
This time they were going to the Light Tribe, presumably they already knew what was happening in the Fire Tribe, so the purpose of this trip was to see what attitude they should maintain towards the west, and secondly, to find cotton seeds, and seeds for other crops.
Neither the salt nor the weapons nor his sacrifices could be revealed. Think of it as a friendly exchange.
"Hey! Catch the boy, don't you still believe that I have strength? "The wind pulled through the catch, and a burst of particles passed.
He looked at him with a look you know you also had.
"You're a kid!" The wind immediately burst, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat people.
"Don't worry, we're just going to have a friendly exchange" Li Yue took his hat and put on his back like everyone else. A group of people is about to follow.
"Okay, I'll come back safely, the things in your hands are the most important, hurry up and do it, don't send it!"
Seeing that Li Yue was determined not to change, the clansmen also stopped.
"Have a safe journey to the priesthood!" The clansmen in the back waved reluctantly. He also shed two golden beans, which provoked the wind to laugh vigorously.
Li Yue turned around and waved goodbye.
It snowed heavily, and it hadn't stopped for two days since they left the tribe.
"The snow is too big this year," Fei Zou frowned and looked like the sky, and it took a certain amount of time for the heavy snow to melt when it fell on his hands.
"I'm afraid many tribes are having a hard time this year, not to mention that there is no salt, and many tribes are estimated to not be able to survive," Yue said as he shook his head.
Thinking of what they eat, what they lived, and what they wore, if it wasn't for sacrifices, where did they have it? In this weather, their tribe will only get harder.
"Hey, so what?" Want to live comfortably in winter? The wind leaned against the cave wall, thinking to himself unless they also had a sacrifice.
There is also a sacrifice?
Well? Feng suddenly thought and looked thoughtfully at Li Yue in the corner. Perhaps, the purpose of sacrificing him is the same as what he thinks?
"Uncle Fei, how long will we have to go to this winter tribe?"
"It's normal for about a day, but such a heavy snow may be longer, and I can't go again tonight" Fei saw Li Yue's idea of wanting to reach the Light Tribe quickly. But it's easy to get lost walking under such heavy snow. You'll have to wait for the snow to get lighter.
The place where Li Yue and the others stayed was in the stone cave on the edge of the stone forest, and the protruding stone pillars were covered by snow at this time. The rocky ground on the ground and the grass are indistinguishable from each other. The snow covered the earth tightly.
Li Yue couldn't find out that there were those valuable ingredients and medicinal herbs here. In short, there is nothing to discover now except to hurry to the Light Tribe.
"Okay, what do you know about the Light Tribe?"
"I'm not very familiar, but I've heard from the tourists that the people over there are still easier to get along with, and the leader is a woman." Wind said on the side.
"Female leader, it's strange" The more I heard of a woman as a leader for the first time, it was more strange. Will those warriors listen to a woman?
"Not strange" flew to the side and said coldly.
"Oh, have you seen any other female chieftains?" In fact, the more he didn't know the origin of Fei, he was curious about his different looks and the differences in weapons he used for a while. It's a pity that I can't inquire. Now that he took the initiative to reveal it, the more he was aroused, the more curiosity was aroused.
The more he swept at the fly, he turned around and took out the jerky in the back basket and handed it to Li Yue, ignoring the more.
"Hehe, the more you don't know that the person who flies is like this, you still ask?" The wind is also flying where to eat flat, in the face of more and more looks, I can't help but smile in my heart, and comfort the more "kind" I have.
"Shut up! The corners of your mouth have betrayed your true thoughts! ”
"No, no! You read it wrong."
The two were arguing, and Fei at the door motioned for them to stop, walking at the entrance of the cave and looking at the white earth.
The more and more winds also rushed to the entrance of the cave, and his expression was solemn.
"You heard that, too!"
"But I didn't see anyone"
Li Yue didn't hear anything, but according to what they said, there should be someone in the snow calling for help.
"Help! Who saves us! Li Yue heard it clearly, but like them, he didn't see anyone.
"It can't be snow monsters, legend has it that they just make human voices to attract people."
"The wind shut your mouth!" The more he couldn't stand the wind whispering in his ear.
"There it is!" Li Yue shouted.
"Under the highest stone, there is a hand moving"
When the three of them looked at it, half of the person's body was exposed, and it was definitely not the snow monster that the wind said.
Yue and Feng glanced at each other, and then rushed over.
Fei stayed by Li Yue's side to protect him.
Looking at the heavy snow flying in the sky, obstructing the view, I don't know who actually came out in such a harsh environment.
