From the outside, their house is a kind of wooden house supported by multiple pillars, with a floor raised three meters, each wooden house is about 70 square meters, and there are no steps to return to the wooden house from the ground, but a ladder that needs to climb up and down.

The space below is 3 meters high, and there is a herbivorous giant insect, which looks like a large silkworm baby, white and tender and very cute, about 40 centimeters long and about 10 centimeters in diameter. Wen Tao saw several tribal women the size of Russian peasant women feeding these fat insects with leaves, and the fat insects looked very docile, even when eating, they were lazy and unwilling to move.

Although I don't know what the function of this fat insect is, it is certain that it is not a pet, but it should not be an insect similar to a silkworm, otherwise the people of this tribe would not still be wearing animal skins.

There are a dozen large fat insects in the enclosures below the fewer families, and there are thirty or forty in the more, and it seems that the tribe is quite rich, and every household has already started farming.

After greeting the four of them and looking at Wen Tao with strange and puzzled eyes, Wen Tao was taken to the patriarch's house.

The patriarch's house is no different from the others, but it is larger, and there are more fat insects in captivity below, there are more than 60 of them, and almost the entire insect circle is full, so the patriarch should be the richest person in the tribe.

I don't know if it's because of the lack of manpower, or because this tribe doesn't have a feudal dynasty, and there are no guards at the door and other people who are responsible for taking care of the patriarch's life, so Meng said at the door, and after the old promise came from the house, Meng took Wen Tao to push the door in.

Although it is a living room, there is no extra decoration in the house, only a long table and a dozen chairs, the chairs are very large, after all, they are all for the Panshi tribesmen who are two meters per capita.

At this time, the long table was removed and placed in the corner, and in the middle of the drawing-room, there was a slightly rising staircase, on which was placed the largest chair, on which sat a thin old man who was beginning to shrink in size and was rickety.

Thorn Zheng stood honestly beside an old man, without the unruly appearance he had before, and Wen Tao almost didn't know him anymore - although Wen Tao had not known him for a total of more than two hours since he knew him.

"Hello, stranger." The old man smiled and spoke.

Wen Tao was shocked when he heard this, this old man knew that he was from the earth?

Wen Tao suppressed his fluctuating emotions, only showed an interested expression, and asked, "You, know, me?" ”

The old man smiled, knowing that Wen Tao had misunderstood, so he explained: "I am the patriarch of the Rock Tribe, Jian. Outlander is our name for outsiders, and I have heard about you from Thorn, and I apologize to you for his rudeness. Although I have not heard of the 'Slippery Pot Tribe', I think the tribe with such creativity must be an amazing tribe. ”

As the patriarch, the old man has seen more than the young Mengs, and he can see at a glance that the material of Wen Tao's clothes is not animal skin, and the sewing process is also very complicated, not as rough as his own tribe's, although he doesn't know how the armed forces are, but at least he can judge that the productivity is higher than his own tribe.

The old man said, got up and bowed, it seems that the etiquette of apology here is not too different from the earth.

But if you think about it carefully, after all, the entire Black Tower World was created by Tianyi, and with Tianyi's lazy character, some details must be borrowed from the earth, unless it is the kind that only sows a seed, and then stipulates the general direction for the people of that world to grow savagely, it will be different from the earth.

Wen Tao did not hide because the other party was older, but accepted this apology with peace of mind, after all, he wanted to kill himself at first.

However, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that this patriarch had already seen the first batch of people to enter the Black Tower, after all, nearly ten hours had passed since the appearance of the Black Tower, although I didn't know how big this world was, but there must still be many tribes who had met the earthlings.

As for the earthlings who bumped into dinosaurs, or even large carnivorous dinosaurs, the end must not be too good, after all, reality is not a movie, and in the face of the pursuit of the top predators of the food chain, almost no one can escape.

But at the same time, Wen Tao also raised his vigilance, he didn't forget that the stabbing behavior was based on Meng's acquiescence, so he couldn't use the morality of modern civilization to measure the people in this tribe, since their attitude towards outsiders was generally to kill the wrong ones, then this patriarch did not choose to interrogate as Meng said, this sudden apology is very interesting.

At least, it's certainly not because they're hospitable.

In his opinion, his own existence can bring some value to their tribe, and this part of the value, I don't know if it will harm his own interests and safety.

Thorn bowed his head to the side, not knowing what he was thinking.

The patriarch returned to his seat, looked at Wen Tao with a kind face, and said with a smile: "As an apology, from now on you will be a guest of our Rock Tribe, and we will return your things to you." ”

Originally, he wanted Meng to return the things to Wen Tao, but after seeing the backpack safely on Wen Tao's back, he swallowed the words back.

Although the backpack is not very important, most of them are all kinds of candy that Wen Tao uses to replenish his energy, but without these, it is still a little inconvenient in this world with black eyes, so he gladly accepted the identity of a guest.

But the operation of giving one's own things as an apology does not make Wen Tao grateful, but only makes Wen Tao's impression of the patriarch divided into being able to communicate and have a plan.

"Fierce, sting, you guys go out first, let me talk to the guest alone." The patriarch spoke to the two.

Although Meng was a little puzzled about the patriarch's behavior, he didn't say a word, said "yes" and left, while Thorn took a deep look at Wen Tao before leaving with Meng.

After the two left, the patriarch smiled and invited Wen Tao to sit on the chair next to him, and Wen Tao also wanted to see what his idea was, so he did so.

The patriarch asked curiously: "Young man, I also know a lot of more than ten large and small people around us, but I have never heard of the 'Slippery Pot' tribe, your tribe should not be in this 'big forest', right?" ”

Wen Tao shook his head: "No." ”

The patriarch was surprised: "Then why did you come here?" ”

Wen Tao didn't know how to describe it, and he didn't want to explain more, so as not to say too much wrong, so he said while blindly gesturing: "Abba Aba." ”

Patriarch: "......"

The air froze for a short time, and Wen Tao also clearly saw a few green tendons emerging on the patriarch's face.

"Honorable guest, if you don't want to answer, you don't have to do it in this way, do you?" The patriarch was annoyed, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

Wen Tao still shook his head, pointed at himself and then at the other party: "I, I don't know, you guys, what you say." ”

"Oh?" The patriarch didn't expect that in his decades of life, he had never left the "Great Forest", and he only came into contact with the surrounding tribes, everyone spoke the same thing, and he had never encountered a language barrier.

In this way, it seems that the place where this "guest" tribe is located is farther away than you think.

The patriarch diverted from this topic, and then became curious about Wen Tao's clothes and backpack, and inquired about the current situation of the Slippery Pot Tribe, some questions Wen Tao answered truthfully, and some pretended to be confused by the language, and since the patriarch had already recognized Wen Tao's identity as a guest, he didn't keep asking, and let Wen Tao leave after chatting casually and saying some scenes.

Wen Tao was sent to his temporary residence by Meng who was waiting outside the door, and Thorn went inside again.

"Father!" Thorn bowed his head in salute.

It turns out that this patriarch is the father of Thorn, and he is only in his 40s this year, although this is only the age of a middle-aged person in the modern era of the earth, but if it is compared with the ancient earth and even the primitive man period, this age can already be regarded as a long-lived person.

Hunger, disease, wounds, and danger all affected them.

So although the patriarch is only in his 40s, he doesn't look much different from an old man on earth in his 70s.

The patriarch sighed, "It seems that there are more secrets of our 'guest' than expected. ”

Puzzled, he asked, "Father, why don't we just arrest him and interrogate him slowly?" "Although Thorn is the son of the patriarch, he lacks experience and doesn't think there is anything wrong with Wen Tao's clothing, words and deeds, but since his most respected father said so, then Wen Tao must have a big secret.

The patriarch glanced at his child and sighed, "Do you know why I gave the position of leader to Meng instead of you?" ”

In the Rock Tribe, the patriarch is the supreme ruler of the tribe and is responsible for managing all affairs, big and small, while the chief is the administrator of the tribe's armed forces and the next patriarch. Although the patriarch is in office for life, they practice a Zen concession system rather than an inheritance system, and if the patriarch is too old to manage, although the status of the patriarch will not be revoked, the real power will gradually be transferred to the chief.

Thorn didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, and replied truthfully in a dull voice, "Because he is stronger than me." ”

The patriarch shook his head and denied: "Although he is stronger, you are younger than him, and there may not be no chance of surpassing him in the future." What's more, he's smarter, bigger, and more poised than you. ”

The thorn was silent.

"I have to be responsible for the tribe, although the leader must be the strongest person, but the patriarch is not, do you understand? Just like this time, although there are problems with Meng's decision-making, it has not done things as absolutely as you did, and there is still room for improvement. And our 'guest' speaks, dresses, and looks different from us, you know what that means? ”

What does it mean to be stunned? Isn't he just a weak little dwarf?
