"Master, here!" Since worshipping Li Yue as a teacher, Qiao has completely lost the domineering sense of the leader, and now he is a large loyal dog.
"Have you picked it up all around this mountain?" In front of him was a low hill, relatively flat around it, and the coal was probably squeezed out by the movement of the earth's crust, and there would be a lot of coal mined from the hill. The rest needs to be played, and it is more difficult.
"I've picked them all up, and this mountain should be all of them."
"Uncle Fei, please dig the left, and you dig the back" Now Li Yue wants to confirm whether this hill is all coal.
Walking around this hill one by one, Li Yue also checked the pit dug before, the soil and stones were all black coal, because the burial was not particularly deep, and some could not be used, it seemed that it would take a while to dig coal and dry coal here.
According to the current distance, it is too far from the tribe of Ji, and this road is not easy to walk, although the road is relatively smooth, that is, there are still more forests around, and the danger of encountering wild beasts is relatively greater, although these mines cannot be built with the tribe, but they cannot be too far away. Now we have to think about where to move the tribe.
"Master! Dig it up."
Li Yue walked to the place where he was digging and took a look, "Well, there are a lot of them here, Uncle Fei, how are you over there?"
"It's all black rocks underneath!" The sound of flying came from the other side.
"Okay, let's fill in the hole first, and find a cave to avoid the snow first"
Now that the snow is starting to fall again, Li Yue and the three of them find a cave to prepare to rest.
While bored, he said: "Master, this neighborhood is our territory, and the apprentice will take you to a different cave!" ”
Li Yue was curious about what kind of cave was different from this kind of plain, "What kind?" ”
"Come with me, you'll know when you arrive"
The three of them slid on the sleigh again, and after a few hours of skiing, they reached the cave of Qiaoshuo.
It is a karst cave with a variety of stalactites. There is also a stream of water underground.
"How's that, master, it's good?"
I don't know where the light comes out of the cave, even if they don't light the torches, they can see the cave clearly, the height of the strange-shaped stones show a different kind of beauty. The water below is refracted by light, reflecting the sparkling waves in the water on the stalactites, as if the entire cave was at the bottom of the sea.
The overall hole is relatively large, and there are many stones. There is less place to put your feet down.
Li Yue felt that such a cave was really rare on the plains, and sighed: "It's pretty good, if the ground is smoother, it can be inhabited."
"That's it, this hole was discovered when I was a child...... "Qiao Zheng was proud, but when he heard a hint of movement, he was immediately alert.
"Who? Come out," he walked in front and looked around, and suddenly scolded. As he walked in, he drew his sword.
"Master, after me" Qiao also took out a stone knife and stayed by Li Yue's side.
"Thank you, let's go and have a look, there must not be many people on the other side, otherwise we would have rushed out here for so long" Li Yue calmly analyzed.
In the time after Fei said it, the other party had not moved, and Li Yue thought that the other party had not come out if he was discovered, and he must be weak. He boldly stepped forward and walked over.
Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, the inside immediately shouted. Other! We'll come out. ”
Out of a dark corner came two scrawny men with scarlet heads. Both of them trembled and held each other as if they were about to fall. There was not a single piece of warm fur on the whole body, only leaves and vines fixed around the waist.
Tobi frowned.
"Uncle Fei, what's wrong with you?" Li Yue saw that Fei's expression was a little wrong.
"These are two slaves," Fei said solemnly. Li Yue and Qiao were also dignified.
It's not normal, now on such a snowy day, two slaves appeared in the cave, and there is no sign of life, thinking that they should have just escaped here.
As far as they know, there are no slaves in the nearby tribes at all, and only their foreign beast tribes will take slaves on the road.
Now that the slaves are here, it means that the beast tribe has come here, what are they going to do?
"It's not good, it must be something wrong with other tribes" Qiao should have thought that their tribes had been served, and the tribes close to them should not be let go.
He raised a stone knife and pointed at the slave: "Say, did you go to the Rain Tribe?" The two slaves were frightened and stepped back and sat down on the ground.
"Don't kill us! Don't kill us," the two slaves hid back in fear.
Li Yue stepped forward and took Qiao's hand and said, "Don't go any further, step back a little, ask about things first" According to Qiao's questioning, it is estimated that the two slaves will be scared to death.
"Don't worry, we just want to ask something," Li Yueren said as he took out two strips of meat and handed them over.
The two of them did not dare to answer in the death gaze of Fei and Qiao. His eyes were firmly glued to it, and he was visibly swallowing his saliva. looked at Fei on the side and the meat in front of him, and finally the hunger overcame the fear, and he took the meat and began to gobble it up.
Qiao on one side saw that the meat strips were eaten, and he swallowed his saliva as well.
"Master, why do you give them food? They must be a group of people from the west, and it is very likely that the Rain tribe was killed by them."
"No, no!" The two of them with one piece of meat were definitely not satisfied, so they replied to Li Yue after eating two bites in their mouths.
"We just went to get food from the Rain tribe in exchange for salt, we just moved things, and there were no people who killed them" One of the slaves finished speaking, and then thought of something unspeakable, gritted his teeth and said timidly, "It's just that those masters are too hateful, and they are stronger than a few women"
"Sure enough, these hateful westerners, master, killed them" Qiao heard that he had to pay off, and his temper immediately burst into his temper.
"Don't! Don't kill us, we are also survivors of the extermination of the beast tribe, we also want revenge, and hate them, don't kill us" The two slaves kept begging for mercy. Luckily, they got the right person.
"It's okay if you don't kill you, just answer a few questions" Li Yue couldn't kill someone, but he also wanted to find out what happened to this beast and why he came all the way here.
"Good! Good! May I ask you" The two of them are very grateful to Li Yue.
"What happened to this beast tribe, and why did you come to our small tribe?"
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but fortunately they knew about it.
"We only know a little bit, mainly because now the beast tribe is going to choose the next leader, but the leader has many sons"
"Oh? So? ”
"But the tribe is now divided into 2 factions, one of which supports the big and the young, and the other supports the three less. The leader wants to establish Sanshao, because Sanshao's mother is very favored by the leader, and the tribe before Sanshao's mother marries has a lot of salt and food, and has helped the beast tribe to tide over difficulties.
Therefore, the people who benefited from the tribe were very supportive of Sanshao, but the other part of the tribe was not convinced, they still felt that Dashao was more suitable to be the leader, and there was infighting in the tribe for a while, and the tribe turned on its back for a while. In order to solve this problem, it is decided that the person who has the most food and salt in three years will be the next leader."
"So you're a young man this time?" It was much the same as he had guessed.
"No, we are the people of the three less"
This is a bit unexpected, it seems that this young man has outstanding ability, and the three young people who have enough food and grass have come to these places to collect materials.
This can also show that this civilization is still developing, and it can be said that the accumulated materials in the past three years must also include meat, so this beast should also know the way to marinate meat, otherwise it will not be able to store it for so long.
"This chief has only two sons?" If it continues to develop as it is now, the next step will definitely be against the Ji tribe.
No matter how you look at it, this beast tribe can't continue to develop like this, you have to let their hands be slaughtered, or retracted, you have to add fire, and the situation over there must be a little more chaotic.
"It's three sons, but I seem to have heard that the second young aunt seems to have died early, and there is no backstage like the third young man, so there is basically no chance for him this time, and he has never come forward."
"So, what about these 2 young people?"
"We haven't been in contact with it, and I've heard that it's just as brutal!"
The two men looked at each other. What's the problem, for their slaves, the beast tribe is their enemy. There must be no good words, and you have to vigorously publicize the bad things they have done!
Hearing this, Li Yue thought in his heart.
"Is the largest tribe in the west the beast tribe?" If there are other tribes that are equally strong, it is better to find some means to get them to match, and the best beast tribe has no time to take care of this side.
"Yes, the largest tribe in the west is the beast tribe, and the other tribes are his vassals"
That's why you can't escape once you become a slave. As long as it is in the subordinate tribe of the beast tribe, it will definitely not be able to escape their tracking. Now that they are out of the west, they don't have so many eyeliner, so the two took advantage of the opportunity to be sent out and escaped with their lives.
Li Yue held his chin and thought, the beast tribes are all tribes with huge vassals, there must be a lot of force and food and people, and it is impossible for the Ji tribe to face it.
Their tribe wanted to quietly develop agriculture, as long as it was discovered, but now that their hand had reached here, it was not far from them. It was necessary to find a way to cut it off in advance.
How to cut, how to do it, and how to do it, you have to increase your own force value. Thinking of this, Li Yue's brain hurts, his head hurts, he is engaged in agriculture and war, and he is not sticky at all.
Let's take it one step at a time.
"How many people have they left here now, and what are they going to do with our tribes?"
Since I went to these poor rural areas, I wanted to collect and publicize them everywhere. There must be more than them here, at least the manpower is dispersed.
"Now they only have 200 warriors left, and the rest are all us slaves, more than 600 in all, and I heard the slaves who served them say that their main purpose is salt, and they don't want to have a conflict with the people here," the two said, and suddenly knelt down.
"You are also from this tribe, can you take us in, you don't need you to give me food, we can find it ourselves!" It's too difficult for the two of them to survive, not to mention the winter that doesn't last a dime. But as long as the shelter is safe, at least there is a glimmer of hope for them.
"No," Fei said suddenly.
"Yes, master, don't believe what these slaves say" Qiao also joined Fei's camp to object.
Li Yue was a little curious about the reaction of the two, and as soon as the two people on the other side heard it, their shoulders instantly collapsed. It seems that this result was also thought of.
"Why do you say that, isn't it trustworthy to be a slave?"
"Wise man, you don't understand, maybe their hearts were good at first, but after a long time, they have changed, in order to escape, I don't know how many bad things have been done, how many good people have been pitted, they don't deserve sympathy."
From knowing Fei to now, it is the first time that Li Yue has heard him say so many words in one breath.
It can be seen that something unfriendly must have happened between him and the slaves.
The two slaves over there were shocked when they heard that this child was a wise man, and the wise man had more power than the chief, and maybe this child could save them. Hurry up and grab this lifeline.
Unexpectedly, the people next to them were smearing them, and both of them hurriedly denied it, and looked at Fei with anger on their faces.
"It's not like that, we didn't hurt anyone, we didn't want to be slaves, everyone wants to live, and no one will do anything to hurt their compatriots unless they have to!"
"Hehe" on the side rolled his eyes.
These two people gave Li Yue a good feeling, and his intuition told him that these two people were not bad people, and opened his mouth to fight for them for a chance. "You don't have to do that, if you are kind people, we will help you too"
As soon as the two of them, who thought there was no hope, heard this, they understood that this wise man was giving them a chance to prove it. Emotionally asked, "Then you say, how do you want us to prove that we are good people?!" ”
"Master, you are too young to know these people, none of them are kind"
Fearing that Li Yue would be deceived, he hurriedly persuaded him.
The two who heard the words were angry and troubled, and hesitated in their hearts that the other party told them to do the impossible. Or maybe it's lying to them. There was a lonely look on his face.
Li Yue felt that there was something that urgently needed someone to run errands, and he could hand it over to them. He said: "Qiao, we now have to persuade the rain tribe you just said to join our tribe, we have to go back and migrate part of the time first, we can ask them to convey it on our behalf."
"What? Tell us to go back? Even if the people of the Beast Tribe didn't find us, the Rain Tribe would have torn us apart, "They just pulled food from someone else, what's the difference between this and going up to die?"
"If you think about it, I will give you food on the way" Li Yue didn't have so many conspiracy theories in his heart.
Judging from the performance of these two people, they really hate the beast tribe and will not turn around and join them.
Moreover, let Li Yue watch the two die, and he couldn't help it.
That's it, if they're done, let them join the Ji tribe. I can't do my best.
Under Fei and Qiao's gaze, Li Yue left a lot of dried meat and tinder for the two, fruits and two pieces of fur from the Light Tribe. As long as they find more wild vegetables under the snow, they should be able to support the rain tribe.
As for the dangers along the way and how to convince the Rain Tribe, it depends on their abilities.
