Chapter 10 Doing as the Locals Follow
Kanga's face was sweaty and panting, and without saying a word, he pulled Tang Ba and ran to his tent.
Tang Ba thought that something had happened to Zhanma and ran back desperately, but he didn't think that as soon as he entered the tent, he ushered in Zhanma's stick, which directly stunned Tang Ba.
Zhanma had tears in her eyes, her hands trembled with anger, but her deliberately lowered voice was even more severe, "Do you know that it's dangerous for you to go out, ah, what if you are discovered, you will die." ”
Tang Ba wilted immediately, hung his head and was silent to be reprimanded by Zhanma. She was not angry at all but felt beautiful in her heart, only people who really cared about her would beat her without scruples like this, and they were really worried about her.
Seeing that Zhanma was really angry, Tang Ba decided to release a trick - coquettishness.
She cautiously walked over and hugged Zhanma's arm and shook it gently, "Eminem, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, you will only go if you agree to me in the future, don't be angry, okay, I was wrong." ”
This trick really worked, Zhanma's anger disappeared in an instant, thinking that he had beaten Tang Ba just now and didn't know if it hurt, this child was thin and small, and he wanted to touch it but was still reserved.
Of course, Tang Ba could see it, "Eminem is right, I don't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all, don't be angry." ”
Jhamma sighed, "I'm ...... I'm afraid ......."
Tang Ba directly hugged Zhanma's waist and buried his face in Zhanma's neck, "I know, I understand, I understand." ”
Zhanma gently patted Tang Ba on the back, "It's not okay to be in the tent, follow me during the day in the future." ”
"Good. Tang Ba rubbed Zhanma's neck and said in a sullen voice.
After that, Tangba learned every day from Jhamma how to identify fruits and vegetables to eat, how to handle and sew the fur of hunting animals, and how to make everyday objects from bones. Later, it was discovered that Xixia actually had collective farming, only growing some vegetables but not much production, and the commoners would only get a little share when they were rewarded, and most of them were distributed to the class above the "nobility" for consumption.
Tang Ba is busy from morning to night every day, and she deeply feels that tribal life is not easy, but she is full and relieved every day.
After these days of understanding, Damba has a general understanding of the geographical location and customs of Xixia.
The north side extends to the east is the Broken Star Mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a large pine forest, and Xixia is half surrounded by the pine forest.
To the west is the small lake where she was discovered by Kanga before, and Zhanma told her that the small lake is Zhigan further southwest, and the relationship between Xixia and Zhigan has always been good, not only can trade but also intermarry, and Zhanma's Aji married Zhigan;
To the south of the river there is a small river, called the Little Blue Water, which is the main source of drinking water, and farming is also nearby, and far away on the other side of the river there is another tribe, the Ba, who once fought with the Xixia for water, and finally the two clans of the witch came forward to reconcile and stop the dispute.
There is no concept of heaven, only white and black days, no concept of moon and four seasons, only white cold and warm water. In Jhamma's words, the former means that white cold water falls from the sky, and the latter means that the water falling from the sky is very warm.
The population of Xixia was nearly 1,000, of which one-tenth were above the "nobility", one-tenth were slaves, and all the others were commoners. Jhamma told her that the tribes in the north were similar, but they were dressed differently, but they heard that the tribes in the south lived very well and had food to eat every day.
Tang Ba wiped her saliva silently after hearing this, although she is not a picky eater, but she has been roasting and cooking meat every day these days, but she can eat some fruit, but she can't stand eating meat for two meals a day!
Think about the past when I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, looking at the rows of green vegetables and I was embarrassed and didn't know what to buy.
Seeing that Tang Ba had been staring at him for a long time, Zhanma asked, "I don't have enough bags?" ”
"Enough is enough. Tang Ba hurriedly waved his hand, Zhigan's bag was quite precious to Xixia, and she was reluctant to use the one that Zhanma had kept, "I still have an extra one, let's make one for Eminem." ”
"I don't need it, I see that your body is red, keep the broken ones on your body and use them again, the bag that knows dry is not as strong as the skin. Zhanma took the underwear sewn by Tang Ba with a bag and looked at it for a long time, "It's really good, no one knows this." ”
Tang Ba's eyes lit up, and he shook the boxer briefs and suspenders in his hand, "Eminem, can I use this thing to exchange more bags with the Zhigan people on the intersection day?"
Zhanma nodded with a smile, "I can change it!"
Tang Ba found that he was stupid these days, but in fact, there are many things that can be turned into treasures, not only for his own convenience, but also for more things.
She pointed to the broken skin in the corner, "Eminem, are those still useful?"
"It didn't work. "It's a pity for Jhamma.
"Great, then I'll use it!" Damba ran over excitedly and stirred up, now the curtains at the entrance of the tent were all one, and she was going to use the hair of the hunting beast to make a rope, and then make these broken skins into small pieces and wear them to make a curtain, so that it would also be bright in the tent during the day, and she could exchange other things.
However, this curtain can't come from her hand first, otherwise it will be too conspicuous.
"Eminem, I'm going to find Ami. "Domba decided on the Gunners.
Zhanma only laughed as a child's whim, "Go, go, go." ”
Ami's tent was opposite, and as soon as Tang Ba went out, he saw Ami squatting at the mouth of the tent and sullen.
"What's wrong, Ami. Domba also squatted down.
"Eminem asked Tank how Ada was doing in Wuta, and Tank said he hadn't seen me Ada. ”
Tang Ba remembered that Ami said this on the day the tank and their family moved, "Aren't they all in the Wu Tower, how can they not have seen it." ”
"Tank said that he was in the Witch Tower, and the priests were all outside the Witch Tower, so he was not qualified to enter the Witch Tower. As soon as he said this, Ami stood up directly, pinched his waist with both hands and puffed out: "I'm the most powerful, that tank with a high nose can catch the water, Eminem looked for him several times before he said, it's really ......."
Tang Ba hurriedly covered Ami's mouth and looked around, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he lay down in Ami's ear and muttered: "Be quiet, the tank is now a master, similar to the patriarch." ”
Ami's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth and looked at Tang Ba as if asking for help.
"It's good that no one heard, and I want to say something quietly, like now. Tang Ba tugged at Ami's ear.
Ami nodded desperately, and also whispered in Tang Ba's ear: "The tank is the most annoying, and I, Ada, are the most powerful." ”
"Awesome, awesome. Tang Ba suddenly remembered something, "Where are you Ada, who was chosen to be a god servant?"
"Ahh......h Anyway, one day, Ah Chun took Ada to find the witch, and the witch said that Ada was taken by the gods, and he was taken away after the witch sacrifice. Ami shook her head proudly, "Later, there were also clansmen like my Ah Chun who took people to see the witch, and the witch said that the gods didn't take a fancy to it and were driven out." ”
That's for sure, the gods must meet certain conditions before they can be selected by the clan's witch, how can they go to the witch tower casually.
Damba: "I've taken a few witch sacrifices." ”
Ami thought for a moment, "Yes...... There were four witch offerings. What's wrong, Tang?"
"It's fine. Tang Ba took Ami's hand, "Hey, do you have any broken skin?"
