Chapter 5 Invitations

These hunters have to walk more than ten kilometers to hunt, and even if they are two meters tall and have long hands and feet, they have to spend two or three hours in the reckless forest.

They set out before dawn, spend three or four hours packing traps, catching prey, gathering some herbs along the way, and preparing to return after noon.

In the forest, it gets dark very early, and when it is already dark, the nocturnal beasts begin to move, and the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects are difficult to detect, and even the most experienced hunters can hardly survive in the dark deep forest.

After the exchange, Ke Mingde learned that not all the people of the Fish Tribe are two meters tall, and only tall and strong people can become hunters, and they also have the status of militia.

The path gradually widened and became easier to walk, and Ke Mingde finally stepped out of the forest.

The golden sun shone on the sky, and without the obstruction of tall trees, it shone directly on the land, and some turquoise crops thrived.

This is farmland.

The peasants wore straw hats, tanned skin, and worked hunched.

Their farming implements are all made of wood.

There were no copper and iron mines nearby, and the fish tribe did not master the smelting technology, and generally used stone tools, backbone gas, and wood tools.

The wood they use is taken from a type of tree called iron sunken wood, which is hard, heavy, and carefully treated to make it into a sickle.

It's just that the timber is very slow, and it takes 20 years for a tree to grow to the thickness of the bowl, and it needs to be planted manually to provide sufficient wood.

"Who is he? What a beautiful dress! The chief may not wear as much as he is. ”

"Maybe it's someone from the Silk Tribe. ”

"Absolutely not, last year my sister-in-law married the silk tribe, and there were also some silk as a dowry, how can it be so gorgeous. ”

"The black and white beast looked like a bear. ”

......

The fish tribe has a total of seven or eight hundred people, and it is a small village on the earth, if not everyone knows each other, at least they all know each other.

They talked a lot, put down their work, tied the ploughing oxen to the trees in the field, and gathered around them.

It is human nature to be onlookers, let alone in this informative tribe.

"Bucheng, where are these guests from?"

"Fourth uncle, this is a man of God, passing by here, visiting our tribe!"

"What? a man of God!"

Everyone was in awe, not daring to approach, and watched Ke Mingde enter the tribe.

The outside of the fish tribe is farmland, which attracts canal water for irrigation, and the land is fertile, and on the inside of the field, there are several flat fields, which are clean and flattened with stone mills, and are used for grain hulling and drying.

Further inside, there is a wooden wall, choose the thickness of the arm, bury it to a depth of one meter in the ground, block the things that can be dug holes, the ground is three meters high, and the inner side of the wall is also piled with earth walls, which is extremely stable.

"This wall was built five years ago, when I didn't know how to hunt, and every day I carried a stack of dirt on my back, piled up in the wall, tamped and compacted, since the wall was built, few weasels and other things went to the tribe to spread wild!"

Yubu Cheng introduced Ke Mingde in a very proud tone.

In the great wilderness, the land is vast and sparsely populated, rich in resources, between human beings, there are very few wars, villages and towns, very few city walls, more fences are built, and wild beasts are guarded.

Walking inside the walls, you are greeted by a breath of life, the air is mixed with the smell of firewood, and your ears are full of clucking bird names and purring beasts.

Most of the people who remained within the walls were women, the men farmed, hunted, and fished, and the women did the housework, spinning and weaving, chopping wood and feeding the pigs, each performing their own duties, and the whole fish tribe was busy and peaceful.

Under the tranquility, there is anxiety and panic.

The leader of the fish tribe, the only god man, is about to die of old age, once he dies, he will lose his deterrence within a radius of dozens of miles, and he will immediately be occupied by other demonic beasts, and everyone will be reduced to food in his mouth.

"Next to this well is my house. The fish port moved open the simple fence gate and shouted: "Mother-in-law, there is a distinguished guest!"

As he spoke, he introduced Ke Mingde into the courtyard.

The yard is not big or small, ten steps square, there are thatched houses, drinking troughs, chicken coops, there is a big tree in the yard, the white flowers are dotted, the fragrance is pervasive, and it holds up a shade.

Out of the house came a woman, coarse cloth, with a wide skeleton, rough hands and feet, with a smell of milk, and a child babbling in the room.

"This is a passing God-man, I have invited him to his house as a guest, go and pick up some food!"

The Fish Harbor told his wife, who set aside the prey, and took off the bowstring and put it away.

"Don't bother, I'm not hungry. Ke Mingde glanced around.

The stove with yellow clay dishes was cold, the woodpile was chopped firewood, and the roof was hung with bacon and sausages, which were roasted by the smoke and black.

On the stove are clay pots and pots, wooden spoons and wooden blocks.

In a small jar, there were some fragments of yellowish crystals, which were impure salt.

If you want to cook, you also need to make a fire, which is very troublesome.

"How do you usually start fires?"

"I came home late from hunting, so I went to my neighbor's house to borrow fire, but I also had flint at home. ”

Yubu smiled slyly, quite proudly.

"God, please use, this is a new green bean, boiled in salted water, but with the snow salt of the salt family, one of my women's dowry. ”

The woman brought a clay bowl, and in the bowl were green beans, and Ke Mingde picked one up, which tasted a little like peanuts, but with a slight bitterness.

The woman's clothes were very simple, without sleeves, with two bare arms, and through the wide neckline, she could not be able to make her breasts, and she wore a group of sackcloth under her body, which was tied around her waist with twine.

In fact, there are some family members in the house, but they don't have decent clothes, so it's not easy to come out to meet people.

It can be seen that the productivity of this tribe is extremely backward.

"My mother told me that our tribe was 30 years ago, when the Yu clan moved out from the south, and the Yu clan is a large tribe with tens of thousands of people, living in a narrow and densely populated area, and there is a lack of land, and many people are starving to death. ”

"Over the years, my father died of a beast's kiss, my mother contracted a cold and died, and finally had a family business, won three mothers-in-law, and continued the bloodline, and the tribe encountered this kind of crisis, the world is big, where is the place to live in peace?"

"Godman, I beg you to stay in our tribe and take over the position of leader, and we will offer you food every day!"

Yubu Cheng's words are sincere, he is only twenty-two years old this year, and he is already as old as forty or fifty, but in his eyes, there is still a flame burning, which is the desire for life.

"Yes, we have more than a hundred families, and we will offer the best quality food, the most beautiful cloth, the most docile fur, and the most beautiful women, you don't have to do anything, you just need to spread majesty, and beg you to stay!"

The rest of the hunters also said.

Ke Mingde was not fooled by these compliments.

He left the convenient life of the earth, accompanied by his wife, and came here to pursue knowledge and strength, to pursue immortality and leisure, not to lead the development of primitive tribes, let alone to be their bodyguards.

Of course, in addition to practice, it is not impossible to do something that is beneficial to others and the world.

What's more, he doesn't even know what a supernatural power is and what a god-man is, in case he can't play the role of a god-man, and blindly takes over this responsibility, wouldn't it be a trap for others.

"Bang!Bang!"

There was a sound of golden gongs outside, from far and near, and stopped outside the door of Yubu Cheng's house.

He was a middle-aged man, more than two meters tall, stronger than the five hunters, his hair was tied together with strips of cloth, his face was clean, his sackcloth was decorated with some simple patterns, he stepped on a pair of clogs under his feet, and carried a small golden gong in his hand.

"I am Yuyou, the son of the leader of the fish tribe, my father is old and inconvenient, I heard that a god is visiting, send me to invite you to the house to talk!"

The fish right bent down respectfully, and his head hung down to his knees.

His name is a single word, and in the great wilderness, only the aristocratic class can take a single word as a name.
