【063】A great drought is coming
Although the ditch has been completed at this time, the follow-up concealment work must be continued, otherwise the beasts of the forest will easily find this water source far away from Bai Ze.
Shen Nong called Shangcang and the others, and walked towards the forest with the planks that had been prepared a long time ago, as long as the ditch was covered with wooden planks, and then filled with soil, the existence of the ditch could be completely concealed.
On the way to the forest, Shen Nong and the others happened to meet Xiong and the others who rushed back from Bai Ze, and Chi immediately couldn't help but ask, "Wu, the ditch is open to water, right?"
"Well, that's it, you can go back and have a look. Shen Nong said directly, this is not a secret that cannot be said.
"Are you going now?" Xiong Yao asked as he looked at Shen Nong suspiciously.
"Plank the ditches and cover them so that no one can find the ditches of our tribe. Shen Nong said.
"Leave these things to them to do, Wu you come with me, I have important things to tell you. Xiong Yao suddenly put his arm on Shen Nong's shoulder very mysteriously, and then took him back to the Huangqiu tribe, seeing the chief and Wu So, Chi planned to go back with them, but Xiong Yao turned his head directly and said: "Chi, you stay, protect their safety." ”
As soon as Chi heard this, he immediately felt like he was deflated, but there was no way, who called it the chief's order, so he had to stop and stay, follow Cang and the others, and protect their safety.
"Xiong Yao, do you have anything to do with me?" Shen Nong was put on Xiong Yao's shoulders and asked in confusion.
"Isn't it getting hotter and hotter now, every time the dry season is coming, it's going to be so hot, and I wonder that it won't be long before the earth will enter the dry season, and then a lot of grass and trees will be dried and withered, and wild beasts will no longer choose to come out during the day. ”
"Oh, you're saying summer is coming. Shen Nong suddenly reacted: "Don't worry, now our tribe has sufficient water sources and abundant salt reserves, as long as we can hunt more beasts for food storage at that time." ”
"Wu, I don't mean this, every time before the dry season comes, the ten tribes in our neighborhood will gather together to hold a ten-part conference, specifically for the tribesmen of each tribe to bring what they want to exchange to trade with the tribesmen of other tribes, now the dry season is coming, and the ten-part conference is about to begin, I plan to let you take the tribesmen of our tribe to the ten-part conference this time. Xiong said very seriously.
"Me?" Shen Nong was stunned, you must know that Xiong Yao was very opposed to going out before, why did he suddenly take the initiative to let himself go out now?
"Well, Wu, I see that you have also eaten a lot of fierce beast flesh and blood recently, and your strength has reached the level of a quasi-warrior, and you have enough ability to protect yourself, so I will leave the team to you to participate in the Ten Parts Conference this time, and I will stay in the tribe to garrison." Xiong Scythe nodded, not looking like he was joking.
"Oh, that's it, okay, when are you leaving?" Shen Nong thought for a while, and then agreed very simply, anyway, he couldn't stay in the tribe alone, and it would be exciting to let him go out on an adventure, but Xiong Yao's idea hit Shen Nong's heart, so what he agreed to was also very simple.
"There's no hurry, when the ten-part conference is about to start, someone will come and inform us. Xiong said.
After years of friction and disputes, each tribe has maintained a safe distance of tens of thousands of steps, which is not at the beginning, but as the tribes fight each other for territory, food, etc., the defeated tribes will be banned, except for women, all other tribes will be killed, and then the totem of the tribe will be removed from this land.
After an unknown number of years of evolution, the tribes of this forest will become the stable state of non-interference and non-aggression with each other.
And within a few ranges around the Huangqiu tribe, there are exactly nine tribes, plus the Huangqiu tribe, there are exactly ten tribes, and after the communication between the ten chiefs, there is a ten-part assembly to trade goods for the tribesmen a few years ago.
The holding of the Ten Ministries Conference is very beneficial to the ten tribes, because it can not only bring the ten tribes closer to each other, but also strengthen the ties between the ten tribes, and if any tribe encounters any difficulties in the future, the other tribes can also help.
In the past, the ten conferences were led by Xiong Yao himself, but this time it was replaced by Shen Nong, which naturally aroused the curiosity of many Huangqiu people, because in their opinion, Wu only needs to stay in the tribe and protect everyone, and he will encounter all kinds of dangers when he goes out.
"Xiong Yao, where was the Ten Ministries Conference held, and is it far away from our tribe?" Shen Nong asked.
"The Ten Tribes have always been organized by the White Wind Tribe, who are built on a hillside, which is very suitable for displaying and trading items, but the distance is not too close, and if we walk there, it should take a sunrise and sunset. Bear thought to himself.
"That's far enough. Shen Nong couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it was only half a day from the Huangqiu tribe to the foothills of the Black Mountain, and it took them a day and a night to get to this White Wind tribe, so you can imagine how far the journey is.
"Wu, you have to prepare recently, once someone from there comes to inform, our tribe will have to set off immediately. Xiong Sickle reminded.
"I see, then I'll have to go out and about. Shen Nong said suddenly.
"What are you going to do again? Xiong Kao couldn't help but ask.
"Go see someone, I'm looking for something about him. ”
"Oh. Xiong Kao didn't ask anything, the main thing was that he didn't care about Wu's affairs, and he felt that there must be a reason why Wu wanted to do this.
During this time, he asked the people of the Huangqiu tribe to send a lot of salt and water to Luo Man, and the other party also handed over all the beast skins hunted by the white wolf pack to the Huangqiu tribe, which can be regarded as the largest supplier of animal skins to the Huangqiu tribe at present.
The reason why Shen Nong wanted to see Luo Man this time was to ask for advice from the other party on how to bless the newborn children in the tribe, this kind of thing is an obligation that a witch should do, and it is easy to make the clansmen dissatisfied after a long time, so before participating in this ten-part conference, Shen Nong planned to deal with this matter first, and then go to participate in the ten-part conference with peace of mind.
