Chapter 266: Stone Village 4
Li Wei relayed the leopard's words to everyone, and the happiest person was Chen Zhuo, after he saw the library, he couldn't move, and he wished he could stay here for a while longer.
Luo Dali and Gangzi still want to leave as soon as possible, Luo Dali is worried that after staying in the stone village for a long time, the villagers don't want to leave when they are used to this comfortable life, but although the stone village is hospitable, they may not agree to everyone settling here.
As for Gangzi and the people of Peach Blossom Village, they think differently, they come out to see the world, this has not stopped before getting out of the mountain, it is better to be in Peach Blossom Village, although Peach Blossom Village is worse than Stone Village, but I am not as good as my own kennel in Jinwoyin.
So, after some discussion, it was decided to wait a few days for the things to be ready.
The next day, Li Wei took a few girls to visit the grocery store again, there are many clothes here, all of which are made by embroiderers in Shizhai, whether it is the color or the fabric, which is very different from the outside.
If you really want to describe it, the clothes here are very famous and distinctive, Erhua looks at a cloak, and Li Wei feels a little like a sack on her body, but Shizhai people like to tie their hair into a braid, and with such a cloak, they have a lazy temperament.
As soon as Erhua dressed up like this, she instantly had a different feeling, not like a village girl at all, Li Wei also took out a leather band and tied it to Erhua's forehead, which looked a little more playful, and then matched a pair of leather boots in the grocery store. The second flower became the village flower of the stone village.
The things in the grocery store can be bought with silver, or they can be exchanged for goods, Li Wei is fortunate that silver is still hard currency in this era, and it can be used anywhere.
In the end, all of them were bought, and everyone else bought boots, walking in the mountains and forests, a good pair of shoes is very important, plus Shizhai usually lives on hunting, and there are many leather products, so the price is not high.
Everyone was wearing newly bought clothes, and suddenly a bell rang, and the people from Shizhai who were smiling just now changed their faces, and immediately asked Li Wei and them to go back to the room where they lived quickly, and not to come out without notice.
Seeing that the people in Shizhai looked like they were facing a great enemy, Li Wei didn't dare to ask any more questions, and went back with the children.
In addition to accommodation, the house of the stone village has always had a defensive function, and in the north of the stone village, there is also a tower used for lookout and guard.
At first, Li Wei thought that this was to prevent wild beasts, but now she knows that in addition to wild beasts, you must also defend against people.
Back in the walled building, they had already gone up to check the situation, Li Wei asked Lin Dahong and them to go back to the house, let the stones guard them, and then all the sons of the Gu family were called out to see the situation.
There is a corridor outside the walled building, and there is a lookout on the wall, and standing at the lookout, the situation in the distance can be seen at a glance.
At this time, on the slope, the people of the Stone Village fought with another group of people, who were dressed in animal skins, had tattoos on their faces, and were tall, but they had almost no sharp weapons in their hands, but with their fists they beat the young men of the Stone Village to the point that they were powerless.
The two sides said that it sounded like a fight, and it was unpleasant to say, that is, a one-sided violent beating, and the side that was beaten was the people of Shizhai, and in the end, the Shizhai side was really beaten too badly, and the horn of retreat was blown.
Then, he went back to the house, closed the door, and closed it.
But the big guys outside did not leave, but surrounded the stone village.
Li Wei and the others are outsiders after all, and it is not easy to ask about the situation, so they just stay in the room and try not to add negative burden to the stone village.
That night, when it was time to eat, it seemed to be fine, but through some details, it would be found that it was very affected, when eating, the always enthusiastic and generous cook Ah Jiu, absent-mindedly, when eating, directly hit the dish on Li Wei's hands.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to" Ah Jiu hurriedly apologized.
Li Wei looked at her eyes were still red, she should have cried, shook her head and said, "It's okay, just wash it." ”
"Ah Jiu, you go over there to rest, I'll come here."
The aunt on the side broke Ah Jiu away and came over to help Li Wei cook.
"Don't be angry, Ah Jiu's kid is just worried about her sister."
Li Wei asked, "What's wrong with her sister?" ”
The aunt sighed deeply when she heard this.
"The savages came to attack our stockade, and we couldn't defeat them, so we had to agree to their conditions, and this time the conditions of the savage tribe were that we would send them fifty maidens who were not married."
"Ah Jiu has two younger sisters, one is sixteen years old and the other is fourteen years old, just in this age range and so on."
Li Wei was stunned, she didn't expect this to be the case.
"Is there no other way?"
The aunt shook her head: "If there is another way, the owner of the village will not be so embarrassed, you know, the granddaughter of the owner of the village is only fifteen years old." ”
"Those savages are tall and big, no matter how brave the young men of our village are, they are not their opponents, and if they continue to fight, the young people of our village will be killed."
"You've dealt with the Savage tribe before?"
The aunt nodded: "Our stone village and the savage tribe are mortal enemies, and we have to fight almost every year." ”
"But we lost before, and the savage tribe asked us for some warm clothes or food, so we've gotten used to it over the years."
Li Wei felt a little incredible: "What do you mean that you have to give things to the savage tribe every year?" ”
The aunt nodded: "There is no way to do this, as long as we don't fight, we are willing to give up something." ”
"You didn't think about resisting?"
Auntie: "Don't you know that the savage tribe is tall and big, and we also have some warriors in Shizhai, but compared to them, it is the difference between the world." ”
"And the savage tribe still has the ability to train wild beasts, if we really anger them, the consequences will be very serious."
Looking at the demeanor of the aunt speaking, Li Wei knew that they were completely convinced of the force value of the savage tribe and did not dare to challenge it at all, so they were willing to send things to the savage tribe every year, which was also another year coin policy.
It's just that so many years of worship have not ushered in the respect of the savage tribes, but have made them even worse, so the consequences of the real policy of the old coins at any time are bad.
Alas, Li Wei returned to the room, in the morning, he still felt that the life of the stone village was happy and comfortable, and it was really a person who had no foresight, and there must be near-term worries, Li Wei went up again and looked at the situation outside through the lookout, and those wild people were less than a hundred meters away from the village.
The fire was raised, and there were groups of three or five, Li Wei wondered that the people in the stone village were good at hunting and good archery, so why didn't they shoot arrows? And to fight the savages in physical warfare, which they are not good at.
Could it be that he was really stupid by the force value of the savage tribe?
"I'd rather die than let Ah Mei go to the Savage Tribe."
Li Wei was pondering, there was a roar, Li Wei looked down, it was a leopard, several buildings in the stone village, although independent, but there are paths in the middle that are interconnected.
Li Wei stood here, just in time to see the situation of several other buildings, one of which had a lot of people sitting in the patio, it should be the people from the stone village who were discussing countermeasures, and it was the leopard who was running away at this moment.
"Daddy, you asked me to take people out to fight those savages to the death. A man stands up to the sky, if he wants to sacrifice his sisters to survive and steal his life, it is better not to live. ”
"Daddy, don't hesitate, sooner or later, the stone village and the savage tribe will fight, and it can't be avoided, it's not that we can back down."
Li Wei felt that this leopard was really a man, and he could see the situation clearly, but looking at the other people in Shizhai, he obviously didn't think so.
"Stop him."
Zhong Wujie gave an order, and the two of them came out and dragged the leopard.
"Let go of me."
Zhong Wuju stepped forward and slapped him.
"Just because you're like this, you still want to save your sister, and you don't know how you died"
Let's rate it
