Chapter 45: The Domesticated Boar
Deep in the mountains, it's covered with snow.
"Zhu Ke, do you really want to join that big tribe?"
Dan looked at Zhu Ke, the two of them are from different tribes, but the two tribes are close to each other and have a good relationship, so the two of them became friends.
Now, his friend is going to join another tribe. He couldn't help it, because although their tribe had enough food, they couldn't afford to support people from two tribes.
"There's no way, if you don't go, you won't even be able to survive this winter, and even if you can't join in the past, you can still eat with a mouth." Zhu Ke sighed, if it wasn't for life and death, he didn't want to leave his hometown and say goodbye to his friends.
"Zhu Ke, let's go!"
"It's coming!"
"Dan, I'm leaving," seeing the patriarch shouting from afar, Zhu Ke hurriedly said goodbye to Dan and left.
Looking at his distant friend, Dan was also very disappointed. His tribe is no better now, the food is barely enough, and seeing his friends who have left, Dan also has an urge to go with Zhu Ke.
After thinking about it for a while, Dan suddenly ran up and ran in the direction where Zhu Ke had left.
……
"Zhu Ke, you wait for me!"
Zhu Ke followed the tribe's team, but heard Dan's voice coming from behind.
"Dan, why are you here?" Zhu Ke was surprised to see Dan who had caught up, and hurriedly asked.
"I want to go with you." Dan replied truthfully.
"Dan, did you tell your patriarch?" Zhu Ke was a little worried.
"It's okay, I can still lose it with you. I'll go with you, and the tribe will have one less person to eat, so that there will be more food left to survive the winter. Dan said very freely.
"But, Dan, we're a long way from that tribe now, are you sure you want to follow? Probably we won't be back. Zhu Ke looked at Dan and wanted to persuade him to go back. Zhu Ke knew that after he went there this time, he was afraid that he would never come back. Dan still has relatives here, and Zhu Ke is whole family goes there together.
"I'm ......" Dan hesitated a little again, but soon he made up his mind, "I'll go and say goodbye to them, you wait for me." ”
Dan hurried back, but the tribe was about to leave, and he couldn't stop and wait because he was alone.
Seeing that the tribe had set off, Zhu Ke, who knew his friend's character, could only leave a mark on the road, hoping that he would give up or see the mark to catch up with their team.
Dan rushes back to the tribe, only to meet a fellow tribesman on the way.
"What are you?" Dan looked at them with some confusion.
"The patriarch asked us to go with us to the big tribe to see if we could work there, the tribe didn't have enough food."
Dan looked at the one who spoke, he was Dan's uncle, his name was Iwa.
"Really? , then can I go too? Dan asked hurriedly.
"You kid heard that Zhu Ke was going there, right? In such a hurry, of course you can go, so big, take you to see the world. ”
Unlike Zhu Ke's family, who moved from house to mouth, Dan's uncle only brought a part of his clan and brought enough food, and they chased after Zhu Ke and their team in search of the mark.
The two teams converged, and they were a little happy to see their acquaintances, and the two teams walked together, and they felt a lot more secure.
Zhu Ke was also very happy, but he didn't expect Dan's uncle to bring someone here, so that Dan could come justifiably.
"Zhu Ke, why did the black pig of your tribe rush over." Dan was a little surprised to see a dozen black pigs being held by ropes.
"Our tribe is gone, and the pigs can't stay there!" Zhu Ke said with a smile.
"Isn't it troublesome to rush like this?" Dan asked, he thought they were going to slaughter the pigs and then bring them over, but he didn't expect to drive them away.
"Trouble must be rushed, we used to survive there, and we must not kill the pigs. If the pigs are killed, there will be no pigs to raise in the past, and hunting is much more difficult than raising pigs. Zhu Ke was a little helpless.
These pigs were domesticated by their ancestors, and since they have these pigs, they don't need to go out to hunt teams often, just go and herd the pigs every day and feed the pigs. Relying on wild fruits and pork, their lives are not very bad.
"Well, I'm a little stupid." Dan smiled innocently, a little embarrassed.
"Do you have enough food with you? I don't know how long it will take to get there. Zhu Ke said with concern.
"Bring it, it's definitely enough!" As he spoke, Dan pulled out a cob from the hide on his back, which was a corn cob with hard corn kernels on it.
"Don't eat it, you hard, keep it, come and see, what I have here!" Zhu Ke saw the corn cob, but he knew how difficult it was to gnaw on this in winter, and he couldn't bite it if his teeth were not good, and even his teeth could collapse for you.
Zhu Ke also took out the food from his package, red wild fruits.
"Where are you from?"
"I passed by a tree with these fruits on it."
……
"Su Zhuang, pull this plank up, and it will be completed soon."
In the city, a three-story wooden house is almost finished, and the last plank is just a little bit away.
The roof is pitched and covered with curved gray tiles.
Su Zhuang grabbed the rope and pulled the last plank up.
Su Mu stepped on the roof and nailed the plank up with iron nails.
Su Yu also came here, and he heard that the three-story building was almost completed, so he rushed to witness it.
"What do you think about this building being used as a school, a classroom for the children of the tribe?" Su Yu proposed.
"Yes, Patriarch. This building is enough for the children of the tribe to attend classes. ”
"It may not be enough, I plan to let the children of the tribes who come to work go to school here together." Su Yu said with a smile.
"Let children from other tribes come to class as well?" Su Mu and Su Zhuang didn't understand the patriarch's decision.
"The tribe also needs more talents, they have lived here for so long, their children go to school here for free, they don't have to worry about food and shelter, if they leave, there is no better place to go than us. In this way, they will most likely want to join us. Su Yu explained it to them.
"That's right, we are a big tribe when there are more people, and we are not afraid of a shortage of people to work." Su Zhuang immediately understood, his eyebrows widened, and he said with a smile.
Su Mu also reacted quickly, scratching his head and laughing.
"Patriarch, there are people from the tribe again, and there are quite a lot of them. They had a dozen wild boars with them, and those wild boars would not attack them. One of the clansmen came to inform him, gasping for breath.
"Wild boars that don't attack people?" Su Yu suddenly realized something.
How can wild boars in the wild not attack people, there is only one kind that cannot attack people, and that is the tamed domestic pig.
Su Yu was a little surprised and surprised, sure enough, it would take a long time to develop by relying on the strength of his own tribe, and once he had the help of others, the speed of development would be significantly faster.
