Chapter 53: Dumb Girl
The Stone Tribe is a medium-sized tribe in the wasteland, and its leader is called Fivepaw, which is from his father's father...... What has been handed down there is already the fifth generation of his generation.
The first generation of chieftains, called Bigclaw, settled in this area with several clansmen, and then more and more people were formed, forming the Stone Tribe.
The tribe was built on a hill half of the area of strange stones, and the other half was a wasteland, on which simple houses of wood and thatch and mud were built.
The Stone Tribe has a strict hierarchy within it, and there are five levels in total.
The leader of the five claws, all the items in the tribe, all the people belong to him, he holds the power of life and death for everyone, even if it is someone else's wife, if he is interested, he can go to the palace at any time.
As the leader, the five claws are the strongest, with a string of enemy thumb phalanges hanging from his neck, Wang Chong has only seen him once, that guy is relatively dark, more than two meters tall, more than a dozen wives, more than a dozen children, every time he travels, there are many people around him.
Below are the elders, who are generally held by older people, and there are not many of them.
Such people generally have a high level of wisdom as auxiliary leaders, such as teaching their tribesmen how to hunt, how to farm, and some also know some simple medical skills.
Further down are the warriors, the warriors are the most important people in every tribe, and the number of warriors determines the strength of the tribe.
Because a warrior is a soldier of a tribe, if a hostile tribe comes to attack, the warrior must rush ahead.
Therefore, warriors, like elders, had the right to private property and the right to own slaves.
Below, there are the attendants and slaves.
The squire is a little better and takes care of his master.
And the desert slaves are the lowliest beings in the wasteland, they are not worthy of high-class food, but they have to do the hardest and most tiring work.
Wang Chong's mother was a slave, so he inherited this identity, and when he was a child, he was taken care of by several other slaves.
Although the status of the deserted slaves is low, it is precisely because of this that the deserted slaves often hug each other to keep warm.
Wang Zhong grew up drinking goat's milk, and sheep are also the most precious property in the wasteland, even if it is his master Daya, there are only five sheep.
As a warrior, Big Tooth had eight slaves, three women and five men.
One of the women was mute, very small, Wang Chong remembered that when he first opened his eyes, he couldn't believe that the mute girl was only four years old.
But because of the difficult conditions, the people in the wasteland are generally sensible very early, so when the mute girl was four years old, she shouldered the heavy responsibility of taking care of Wang Chong.
Fortunately, Wang Zhong is sensible, never cries or makes trouble, and it is not difficult for the dumb girl to take care of her.
Like Wang Chong, the mute girl has no father or mother since she was a child, and was raised by other slaves since she was a child.
She is very good to Wang Chong because she was raised by Wang Chong's mother Anonymous, and the mute girl has regarded Anonymous as her mother since she was a child, so she has natural feelings for Wang Chong.
This year, Wang Chong is already two years old, and his walking is much more stable.
Because he didn't cry or make trouble, Wang Chongting was liked by other slaves, so he named him Wood.
This world is still very primitive, everyone chooses names very casually, some of the deserted slaves don't even have names, most of them are named after the characteristics of these people.
For example, the mute girl was named a dumb girl, and when she was born, she had a problem with her voice, she couldn't speak, and she could only pronounce it simply when she grew up.
Although the conditions were difficult, he was pleased that his body was stronger than his previous body.
This is also the characteristic of the desolate people, most of whom are tall and large.
"Hey, although there is enough food here, the food is too bad."
Wang Zhong sat at the door of the thatched hut, holding a potato in his hand, and shook his head helplessly.
This potato is the most common food eaten by the deserted people, and no one knows how this potato became the staple food, but Wang Zhong guessed it.
Potatoes are not like rice, corn and other foods are often taken care of, and do not need a lot of water, pests are scarce, and a plant can always grow a lot of potatoes, so gradually, potatoes have become the staple food of the barren people.
In fact, potatoes are also staple foods in many foreign countries, and China has a plan to replace staple foods with potatoes, because rice, a staple food, is inferior to potatoes in terms of productivity and efficiency.
If you eat too many potatoes, you will get tired of them, although they are unpalatable, but Wang Chong still eats them.
While eating, Wang Zhong looked at the large thatched hut on the side.
It was the dwelling of Big Tooth, and he had feasted a few tribal warriors today, eating mutton and drinking mare's milk wine, so the fragrance was fragrant, and many of the desolate slaves standing at the door couldn't help but smell the tempting smell, trying not to let their saliva flow out.
"Aba."
At this time, the mute girl trotted over, and ran to Wang Chong's side with a smile on her face.
"Dumb girl." Wang Zhong said in a milky voice: "Run slower, in case you bump into those people, they will bully you again." ”
Wang Zhong was referring to those attendants, who had a higher status than the deserted slaves, so they often bullied some of the deserted slaves.
Especially the sons and daughters of some of the attendants, the last time the dumb girl accidentally bumped into them, the dumb girl was kicked a few times by a fat boy named Big Bird, and the dumb girl was lame for several days.
The mute girl stuck out her tongue, and because she was so happy, she forgot about it at a very young age.
"Abaaba." The mute girl's young body dragged Wang Zhong into the house.
When she entered the house, the mute girl took out a small piece of sheepskin from her bosom, pointed to the sheepskin, and pointed to Wang Zhong's legs.
Wang Zhong understood, and said in a milky voice: "You asked me to wear this as pants." ”
"Abaaba."
As soon as the mute girl is excited, her speech speed will increase.
Saying that, the dumb girl gently touched Wang Chong's head, and sometimes she couldn't figure it out herself, how could Wang Chong, a little doll who was only 2 years old, be so smart, and it was really the same as his mother.
Thinking of Wang Chong's mother, Anonymous, the dumb girl's eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
"Dumb girl, don't cry, when I grow up, I will also become a warrior of the tribe."
Wang Chong took the torn sheepskin from the dumb girl's hand, this sheepskin was very small, only the size of underwear, but it was enough to wrap Wang Chong, after all, he was not big now.
"When I become a tribal warrior, I will ask Big Tooth to buy you back so that no one can bully you." Wang Zhong said.
"Hmm...... Well. The mute girl struggled to pronounce the syllables, and spit out a few words with difficulty: "Mother...... You, the same...... Clever ......"
After saying that, the dumb girl's tears flowed out.
She thought of the scene when Wang Chong's mother died on the day he gave birth, Anonymous was very hungry because she was pregnant with Wang Chong, and that time Big Tooth asked her to be in charge of cooking mutton soup, she was so hungry that she couldn't help but steal a piece.
But this scene happened to be seen by an attendant, and in order to get a reward and tell Big Tooth, Big Tooth walked over and punched Anonymous.
On the spot, Anonymous died, and Anonymous, who loved her the most, died.
