Chapter Seventy-Six: Blackwater Joins
But Song Xuan didn't think about it so much, when he learned that Shui Yun and they were here to join Teng Snake, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, so many people joined Teng Snake, which was a big development opportunity for Teng Snake.
In this primitive era, population is combat power, why the Wuyu tribe is so strong, is because they have thousands of people, even if they lost hundreds of people in Teng Snake before, there is still room for recovery for them, but if Teng Snake comes like this, it should disappear in the long river of history.
Although the more than sixty people of the Blackwater Tribe are not their own family, they are not much different, at least they are much more reliable than the captives they have captured.
Song Xuan's performance did not disappoint Shui Yun, and he introduced them into the tribe with great enthusiasm, and appeased them a little along the way.
"Shui Yun, then you can stay in Teng Snake first!"
"Wait until the water recedes later!"
Song Xuan's righteous words shocked everyone in the Blackwater Tribe, originally thinking that it would be quite good to be able to make a living here again, but he didn't expect Song Xuan's meaning to let them transition for a while.
However, Song Xuan was just pretending to speak, according to the situation of the Blackwater Tribe, even if they were put back, I am afraid that they would not be able to last until next year.
There is nothing to eat, there is no place to live, everything has to be started again, even the Teng Snake tribe, at that time, they also brought food for two or three months, and now their food, not even half a boat, it is estimated that these more than 60 people eat for three or two days.
Not to mention building a new tribe again, it's a question of whether they can survive until they go back.
This is also a way to buy people's hearts, although the Blackwater tribe has a request for Teng Snake, but it is also a relatively friendly tribe, and it still has to be pretended.
Obviously, Song Xuan's words were very effective after he said this, and for a while, the people of the Blackwater Tribe were moved, and Shui Yun looked at Song Xuan with a whimper and said:
"Thank you...... Thank you~"
The food that had not been prepared for a long time was also handed to them, after all, it was made in a hurry, so they had to cook some broth from the meat.
Looking at the gobbling up of the people in Heishui, it was obvious that they were not starving a lot these days, after all, there was only so much food left, and they didn't dare to risk eating more.
After drinking the soup in the bowl in one go, Shui Yun and the witch of his tribe glanced at each other, and finally said to Song Xuan:
"Divine Envoy, do you think we can join the Teng Snake Tribe?"
Song Xuan didn't answer directly, but asked:
"Shui Yun, have you thought about it? After joining Teng Snake, you can't leave! ”
Song Xuan still likes to say ugly things in the front, although he was awe-inspiring before, but at this time, in the face of Shui Yun, who really decided to join, Song Xuan was not polite.
Joining the Teng Snake is naturally what Song Xuan hopes for the most, but if he joins definitely, he can't treat the Teng Snake as a temporary place to live, that is to say, as long as he joins the Teng Snake, the Blackwater Tribe will officially become history.
I saw Shui Yun's eyes closed and nodded:
"Divine Messenger, we've figured it out!"
"Good!"
Song Xuan then announced the news, and he could see that both the people who Teng Snake and the people of Heishui were relatively happy, but under the happiness of the people of Heishui, there was still a trace of pain hidden.
Now that the Teng Snake Tribe also has a witch, so if the Blackwater Tribe wants to join, it is not just a matter of Song Xuan's words, a solemn sacrificial ceremony is still very necessary.
Shui Yun was still a little surprised when he saw that Teng Snake also had a witch, when he came over to participate in the battle, there was no such figure in the Teng Snake Tribe, otherwise those few people who died in battle would not have let Shi Menglai preside over a simple ceremony and carry it to the mountain.
And Wu is not just anyone can be a witch, and it takes years for all kinds of sacrificial rituals to learn.
This witch of the Teng Snake tribe is obviously not a novice either, and the whole procedure is well organized, although it is cumbersome, but there seems to be no mistakes.
With the addition of the Blackwater Tribe, Teng Snake suddenly had two witches, and Song Xuan was also worried that the two would fight, after all, there was still a little difference in faith.
But after asking Shi Jiu, I learned that this situation has not never happened, and in the future, it will be mainly Teng Snake, after all, there are several witches in a tribe, which is a very normal thing.
However, the sacrificial methods must still be in accordance with Teng Snake's, at most take care of them a little, fortunately, the witch of the Black Water Tribe is also ready, and after learning that Teng Snake is going to carry out a sacrifice, he also took the initiative to come over and communicate with Shi Jiu, and finally the two of them worked together to complete this sacrifice.
The participation of the entire clan of other tribes is considered a big deal in any tribe, so the whole ceremony lasts for a long time, and it is not completed until noon.
"Woo-hey!"
"Woo-hey!"
After following the two witches in unison, the entire sacrificial ceremony was officially over.
From the morning to the present, everyone was hungry, so Song Xuan asked Shi Yan and them to hurry up and prepare food.
With so many people joining Teng Snake at once, the first thing that needs to be solved is naturally the problem of accommodation, but Shui Yun proposed to let them live in the cave first.
Although they could temporarily live in Teng Snake's cave, Song Xuan still decided to help them build the house first, after all, it had just rained now, and hunting in the forest was not as easy as he imagined.
A trip may not be able to harvest enough food, so many people work together here, or in three or four days, they should be able to build almost enough houses for them to live in, since they are from the Teng Snake tribe, it is not appropriate for them to live in a cave all the time.
Moreover, the ground that has just experienced heavy rain is relatively easy to dig up, at least the foundation is easier to get.
Everyone is not familiar with each other, whether it is Teng Snake or Heishui, most people only know a few people from the other tribe, Song Xuan also wants to take this opportunity to let everyone get acquainted with it, at least they have to be familiar.
Although the food in the tribe is not really that much, it is not bad for three or five days, and with the addition of Shui Yun, there are more hunters and gatherers, and the harvest will be relatively more at that time.
Although the weather has not been particularly good in the past two days, and there is still light rain falling from time to time, the ground is not as muddy as before, at least there is no problem in going out to cut trees.
Just taking advantage of the opportunity, Song Xuan is also ready to re-plan the Teng Snake Tribe, the north and west are backed by mountains and forests, which is the main hunting place in the tribe, and it is also the most likely direction for the Wuyu tribe to attack, so Song Xuan first decided to cut down more forests on both sides, so that Teng Snake has a larger area of open space in these two directions, and if there is an enemy in the future, there will be a larger buffer zone, so that it will not be like last time, directly close to the face.
However, the future development direction of Teng Snake must still go downstream, after all, if you carry out planting in the future, it is more convenient to go on both sides of the river in the southeast.
The people of the Blackwater tribe are also very familiar with the way the snake builds houses, although they did not bring tools, but there are a lot of them prepared by the snake, such as stone axes, which are not only weapons for daily hunting, but also tools for cutting trees, so everyone generally has two, so that they can be used in rotation.
Now it can be distributed to the people of Heishui, and the people of Heishui have long known from the weapons brought back by Shui Yun, and the craftsmanship of Teng Snake is much higher than theirs, and it is more touching to hold it in his hand at this time.
Song Xuan and Shui Yun also intended to separate the people of the two tribes, usually one or two people from the Blackwater tribe of one or two Teng Snakes, and the two sides cooperated, which also made the people of the two tribes understand each other faster.
As for the two older people of the Blackwater Tribe, Song Xuan originally only arranged for one other person to follow Shi Yan and be responsible for the trivial chores in the tribe in the future, of course, the main thing is to feed these animals, but after hearing Song Xuan's arrangement, the Water Witch also took the initiative to ask to follow Shi Yan to raise animals together.
Song Xuan naturally didn't refute, the reason why he didn't arrange it for him was mainly because of his identity as a witch, but since he took the initiative to ask for it, it would be better, even if it was the Teng Snake tribe, it generally didn't raise idlers, at least the water witch didn't have this qualification at present, and he didn't have much contribution to Teng Snake.
As for the older children, they were all rowed under the hands of Stone Skin, and let them learn how to use fishing nets, this thing was still a new thing for the people of the Blackwater Tribe, and many people were very interested in this thing, especially when they heard that they could use this thing to catch fish from the river.
The people of the Blackwater tribe are not less fishing, after all, their resources there are more abundant than those of Teng Snake, but the way of fishing is still made of wood, although over the years, everyone is very skilled, but the efficiency is not very high, after all, the big fish they have are still mainly concentrated in the middle of the river, and where they can insert fish, the fish are generally not particularly large.
The most important thing is that Teng Snake actually handed over such a good thing to the children to use, which means that this thing is very simple to use, but it is a pity not to be able to take a look, Song Xuan also saw the curiosity in their eyes, so he specially told Shi Pi that no matter how big or small the fish caught today, they must all be brought back.
