Chapter 222: The Wolf Dies
"Grass Miao Chief, since the dark clouds have been resolved, then we will go back first!"
"Ah~ Divine Messenger, you don't ......"
I saw Song Xuan wave his hand and say:
"I won't leave ...... this time"
After rushing for several days in a row, Song Xuan also wanted to take a break, but the attitude of everyone really made him a little uncomfortable, if he stayed here overnight today, he would definitely be embarrassed at night, and in the current situation, if he didn't accept it, it would probably make them panic.
It's not a short time to leave the tribe, I could go back in half a month at most, but now there is another trip to the grass tribe, this trip alone will take six or seven days, and I still have to return to the tribe as soon as possible, after all, there are still so many captives in the tribe, this time the dark clouds have been annihilated, and they also need to be brought back to let the people of the Wuyu tribe see, which can be regarded as cutting off their thoughts.
Although Song Xuan was kept repeatedly, seeing that Song Xuan was really leaving, Cao Miao was still slightly relieved, the current Teng Snake brought him a sense of oppression was really stronger, although Song Xuan did not show how domineering he was, but all this still needed time to slow down, and even until this time, Cao Miao had not completely come out of the previous battle.
"Oracle, pack up!"
Shi Yu naturally cleaned up the corpses outside, except for the dark clouds, the others were useless, but they definitely couldn't be left outside like this, after all, this was still around the Grass Tribe, and the people of the Grass Tribe dragged the corpses to a distance with Teng Snake and a few people.
At this time, it was almost burned, and although it was necessary to bring evidence back, it was definitely not appropriate to take a corpse and run such a long way, not to mention that I had to walk back to the Niu tribe next, which was really dead.
Therefore, Shi Yu only cut off the head of the dark cloud and used a bag of animal skins, so that it would be much easier to bring it back, and now the weather will not rot in a short time, but there is no need to worry too much.
This is also a routine operation, when the black feather came, he also brought a lot of kites and bears to the head of the two tribes, and later found a lot of scalps from them, obviously carried as their trophies, maybe after returning to the tribe, you can also use this to remember the merits.
However, after being captured, they were all collected by the kites, and after the sacrificial ceremony, they would be buried on the mountain.
Of course, this time it was just the first to carry the dark clouds, and there was no other meaning, mainly because it was too troublesome to bring the corpse.
For the dark clouds, although Song Xuan didn't have too much respect, he wouldn't humiliate him too much, but after all, he brought more than 300 people over, and even the weapons were not too bad, but in the end, he was defeated by the Teng Snake at a relatively small price, in Song Xuan's opinion, the ability was not as divine as others boasted.
Lion Bo Rabbit, he still needs to use all his strength, not to mention that Wu Yu has suffered a lot on Teng Snake's side, and this result is also caused by him, otherwise even if Song Xuan is confident that he can defend it, Teng Snake's casualties will definitely be quite large, and even before the battle, everyone is ready to exchange their lives with the enemy.
Looking at Song Xuan and his party who were gradually moving away, Cao Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the previous situation was quite dangerous, but fortunately, there was no loss in the tribe, and he had also heard Song Xuan say that this should be the last group of people from the Wuyu tribe.
At least you don't have to worry too much about safety in the next few days, and you are in a hurry to take people on this trip, and you don't count it as a rush, although you come back a little late, but it's just the right time.
According to their journey, in fact, Cao Miao should have returned to the tribe yesterday at the latest, but the day after they separated from Song Xuan, they encountered heavy rain that lasted for nearly two days and two days, which greatly slowed down the speed of their advance, and this was the result of them rushing back in the rain, although the process was not good, but fortunately, it did not cause a big disaster.
Song Xuan also gave Cao Miao a task before leaving, that is, after the two people who came along the dark cloud and their road arrived, he told them that they could go back directly.
After all, there are only two of them, and it is impossible to wait forever for the two of them.
Song Xuan still decided that most of the people would return to the tribe now, leave a boat in the Niu tribe later, and wait for the rest of the people to return together, so that there would be no delay.
At that time, it was also helpless to let the two of them follow the traces left by the dark clouds, after all, Song Xuan was also worried about losing their traces, if he could be sure that the dark clouds were coming towards the grass tribe, naturally there would not be such trouble.
The speed of return is much faster, the route has been traversed, and although the distance between the two tribes is not far, the terrain of the grass tribe is still higher, and it is much easier to go back overall.
On the morning of the third day, everyone had already returned to the Niu tribe, and when they heard the news that the dozen or so people who had fled had been wiped out, the people of the Niu tribe were still very happy, after all, if they hadn't reacted quickly at that time, they would have suffered.
It was still early, so Song Xuan didn't continue to delay, and after a little greeting, he left the Niu tribe with people, leaving only three people and a boat, and there were not too many things left on the boat, I still wanted them to return to the tribe quickly, although they exchanged a lot of things this time, but after all, there were more boats from Teng Snake, and they could still be easily loaded.
Shi Mao set off earlier, after all, there were still a few people in the Exchange Valley, and when they were still on the way, Song Xuan asked them to run back to the Niu tribe lightly and call those people in the past.
This time it was really not arranged, mainly because the whole process was too hurried, whether it was the exchange meeting or the sudden appearance of the dark clouds and his party, it disrupted Song Xuan's plan a little, but fortunately, the results were not bad.
After saying goodbye to Niuhe, Song Xuan went home with Zhenshui, who didn't have a strong sense of participation this time, and just ran away behind Teng Snake.
However, although the battle was very short, there was still something to learn for the water, and compared to their previous small fights, the simultaneous battle was obviously much more crisp and neat.
Although I didn't know what the weapon used by Shi Yu was called this time, I finally changed to a sling, and I also knew the production of the shield, and after going back, for their tribe, the strength would naturally increase a lot, and they would have a better chance of winning in the future.
Especially the shield, the water has already made up his mind, and when he returns, he will start making it for everyone.
And the cattle tribe agreed on the livestock, or in accordance with the previous rules, until next year's exchange conference, they will send it over, although it has been determined, but the cattle tribe is not so strong after all, although the food in the past two years is not very short, but in case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, there are these animals in the tribe, they can also be more assured, although the winter is almost three or four months, but no one dares to guarantee, in case this winter is particularly long, these animals are their last guarantee.
And now pull back, it can only increase the pressure of the snake, although the tribe has prepared some forage before the construction of the project, but if you count this batch again, it may be a little nervous, and it is the best result to put it in the cattle tribe, and both parties are more satisfied.
Naturally, the Cattle Tribe also saw those livestock, and they were a little surprised to see that the Cattle Tribe really had any hope of success, after all, everyone used to laugh at the Cattle Tribe for this.
A good beast is not directly killed and brought back to have to get something alive to capture and raise, and finally make their own tribe food tight, and then want to exchange the raised livestock with others, but other people are not stupid, there is no difference between the living and the dead, and it is directly slaughtered and eaten as meat when brought back, so except for the occasional stronger tribe will be kind, basically the cattle tribe is digested internally.
Everyone has always wondered what the meaning of this is, but at this time, not only the Niu tribe has a tendency to do it, and even the Teng Snake seems to be taking this road, they can not understand the idea of the Niu Tribe, but it must be meaningful for the Teng Snake to do this, otherwise the Teng Snake has developed so well, when they came to this area, the population was not even as large as their tribe, but at this time it has become a behemoth that they don't dare to provoke combined.
But after thinking about it, the water does not dare to try it easily for the time being, and it can basically meet the consumption of the tribe through fish hunting and gathering, and even have some surplus, so there is no need to continue to take risks.
And if it is really a development trend, you can also exchange some from the two tribes in the future, which is safer, and the risk does not have to be borne by your own tribe.
When he came to the confluence of the river, Shi Mao had already waited with people, except for the few people who left the Niu tribe, it was also considered to be arriving, bidding farewell to them, Song Xuan continued to row towards the tribe non-stop.
Teng Snake's position in this area is basically impossible to shake, unless there is an internal problem, otherwise it is quite easy to clean up these tribes.
The next thing is to go back and deal with the captives and find a way to dispel their superfluous thoughts.
It's not far from winter, more than half a month a month, the first heavy snow should come, the temperature at this time is also very low, fortunately they are moving around during the day, and there is a bonfire at night, although it looks a little bitter, but it can't be frozen.
Now the only thing that doesn't need to be active is Wolf Chi, after all, his leg is broken, after this trip Wolf Chi has become more silent, at this time he is the head of the dark cloud next to him, after learning that the dark cloud has also been resolved, Wolf Chi's expression has become quite complicated for a while, like smiling instead of laughing, like crying instead of crying, I don't know what I was thinking in my heart.
……
"It looks like the messenger has returned!"
Teng Snake is all in the tribe, so as soon as it appeared, it was discovered by sharp-eyed people, although it was far away, but it was basically impossible for a group of enemies to emerge.
Song Xuan didn't expect that he had left the tribe for more than 20 days, and Teng Snake had completely changed his old appearance.
Just as he had arranged before he left, dozens of houses had been built to the south of the tribe, and the place opposite the tribe and downstream had been arranged as rice paddies, which had been cleaned up by this time, and now there were many captives on it, clearing the remaining stumps.
"The Divine Messenger ......"
Looking at Shi Meng's teary-eyed appearance, Song Xuan thought that something big had happened in the tribe, and when he asked, he knew that it was caused by a large number of people, and it was still a little difficult to manage so many people, after all, Teng Snake has not been so strong since it had a history, and Shi Meng was even more a monk halfway, and more than 100 people before managing the tribe were barely possible, but now he still has to watch the captives every day, so naturally he has a little headache, at this time Song Xuan is back, he can finally be the shopkeeper.
Back in the tribe, Song Xuan was finally able to relax, let Shi Meng and them move things into the warehouse, and Shi Meng and a few people came to the main house, a bowl of hot water was in their stomachs, and the chill on their bodies was immediately dispelled a lot.
Naturally, the conditions outside are not as good as in the tribe, and hot water and soup can only be had during meals, and there are no thermal insulation appliances in this era, even if they are boiled, they will cool down quickly.
In the tribe, there is a 24-hour supply of hot water, which can be drunk at any time, and fire is needed for heating anyway, and boiling water is only incidental.
"Ha~"
After relaxing for a moment, Song Xuan asked towards Shi Meng:
"Did you bring back the rest of the wolf tribe?"
"I've been back a long time ago, and I'm working now!"
"How are they?"
Shi Yong then briefly said about going to the wolf tribe, and seeing that everyone knew each other very well, Song Xuan was not worried.
Originally, some women and children who were relatively weak in combat effectiveness would not make a big move in the future, and it would naturally be best if they could be resolved peacefully like this.
Then Song Xuan asked about the situation of these captives in the tribe again, and learned that everyone was doing well, and in the more than twenty days that he left, he even exceeded the tasks he left.
Hundreds of acres of newly cultivated rice fields have been almost burned by large tree stumps, and although it is unlikely that the land will be turned over this year, the pressure will definitely be less after the beginning of spring next year, and the thirty rooms that had been arranged before have been completed, and the captives can sleep in the houses every day, and do not have to be frozen outside.
After a while, he saw Shi Yu walk in, directly threw a animal skin package at Shi Meng, and said to Song Xuan at the same time:
"Divine envoy, it's all packed!"
Shi Meng, who didn't know why, thought that Shi Yu had brought him something good, but when he opened it, it turned out to be a human head, which scared him so much that he almost threw it out.
"Yu, you ......"
Before he could scold, Song Xuan saw that Shi Meng was about to pick up the head and smash it at Shi Yu, so he quickly stopped him:
"Hey! Don't throw it! ”
"This is the head of the clouds!"
Hearing the word dark clouds, everyone's eyes widened:
“(⊙?⊙)!!!”
"Oracle, what is this?"
"Well, this time I happened to meet them to attack other tribes, and I chased them by the way!"
Then Song Xuan told the general situation, and when he heard that there were no casualties, everyone showed a smile.
Now that the dark clouds have been resolved, the Teng Snake doesn't have to worry about people making trouble around, these days, Shi Meng has always arranged people around the tribe to keep an eye on it, not only to prevent the captives from escaping quietly, but also to prevent the dark clouds from hiding around.
Although there are not many people arranged, there are not many directions that need to be taken care of, and there are more than a dozen people in a circle, and now they can finally free up manpower.
"Oracle, what about this one?"
"Hang it behind the door of the prisoner's yard so that they can see it when they enter and exit!"
Although the tribe has not yet been fully built, the courtyard where the captives live has been fenced with wood, and if a human head is hung in the tribe, it is still somewhat creepy, anyway, it is used to deter the captives, just let them watch.
Song Xuan didn't want himself to go in and out every day, there was a head hanging there not far away.
"Divine envoy, what about the wolf?"
The evil head has been removed, but compared to the dark clouds, the wolf blaze is obviously more despicable.
Although Wolf Chi didn't show any hatred along the way, and even when Shi Yong led people to the wolf tribe, he asked them to persuade them to think about the rest, but what they did had already been done after all, and they still needed to take responsibility for it.
After thinking for a while, Song Xuan looked at the rain of kites:
"Iris, you guys deal with it yourself!"
Although the people of the Wuyu tribe have all been resolved, Wolf Chi has always been alive, although he knows that the reason why he stays is still to let him play a role, but after the exchange meeting, the role he played has also been completed, but Song Xuan did not speak, he has always endured, at this time, the divine envoy finally handed over the decision to him, when he knelt in front of Song Xuan:
"Yes, oracle!"
Then he got up and went out, and found the people of his own tribe, it can be expected that even if he wants to die, he should have to endure some hardships, and the hatred of Kis Rain for him is not easy to disappear.
However, looking at the appearance of Wolf Chi along the way, it was obviously expected, after all, when Iris was basically fine along the way, he stared at him viciously, although the two did not make eye contact, but it was impossible not to feel the straightforward eyes.
However, what Song Xuan didn't expect was that after a while, Iris came back, and he kept pricking up his ears to listen to the movement, but he didn't seem to hear the sound of begging for mercy, and everyone looked at Iris with some confusion.
Iris's face is not good-looking:
"When we went, Wolf Blaze was already dead!"
……!
Song Xuan didn't expect Wolf Chi to be so decisive, and he ended up as soon as he returned to the tribe.
Everyone also quickly got up and went to the house where Wolf Chi was, only to see that Wolf Chi was still leaning on the pillar in the room at this time, but his neck was cut open by a broken pottery shard, and the wound was very hideous, until this time there was still a small amount of blood flowing outward, obviously not long after he died.
Everyone was already dead, and they didn't have the idea of venting their anger at the corpse, and with a long sigh, Song Xuan said to Shi Meng:
"Let the people of the wolf tribe come and bury him!"
Although what Wolf Chi did made everyone disdainful, this suicidal attitude still made everyone sigh for a long time, even if it was a broken pottery shard, it would not be so sharp, it was not difficult to make a shallow wound, but it was very difficult to cut the neck, just look at Wolf Chi's wound, obviously it took a lot of effort.
Song Xuan also knew that Wolf Chi's thoughts were nothing more than wanting to take all the blame on himself, otherwise even if he let the rain beat them up and kill them, it would not be more uncomfortable than committing suicide like this.
After everyone in the tribe learned that the leader had committed suicide, they all fell silent, and many people were not satisfied with the action of attacking other tribes, but everyone knew that this was not what the leader wanted to participate in, it was completely under pressure from Wu Yu.
However, the smooth outcome of the battle also made them begin to accept this kind of behavior, if they hadn't lost on Teng Snake's side, they wouldn't even think it was a wrong thing, but might have rejoiced that they had received a good reward.
But no matter what, Wolf Chi still managed to save them, except for the loss of a few people when attacking the Kite Tribe, he tried to make them even further behind.
However, it really didn't play a role when it came to Teng Snake, but even so, there were many people in the wolf tribe who survived in the end, and in terms of proportion, it was much better than the black feather tribe.
Most of the people of the wolf tribe can roughly guess the result of the leader, but when they knew that Wolf Chi was taken downstream to participate in the exchange conference, they still had the idea that Teng Snake would not deal with him, but they didn't expect that the leader died as soon as he came back, but after seeing the corpse, everyone also knew that the leader committed suicide.
Although they thought that they had all become captives at this time, they did not have much hatred for the people of the Teng Snake Wolf Tribe, but they were very able to understand what Teng Snake did, and even felt a little surprised that Teng Snake gave them good living conditions, after all, if it was their tribe, they would definitely not be so merciful.
Whether voluntarily or forced, they were involved and played a significant role in it.
Without them leading the way, it would not have been easy for the Black Feather tribe to find these tribes.
……
Song Xuan didn't send too many people to follow, but only called two people to show them the way.
It was naturally impossible for Wolf Chi to be buried with the tribal warriors, so Song Xuan asked the two of them to go farther and find a similar place at random.
Being able to leave him with a whole corpse is already quite a benevolent thing.
Although he couldn't kill Wolf Chi with his own hands, he was dead after all, and Kite didn't say much.
If this hadn't happened, they should still be brothers who have been together for many years, although they are full of hatred for Wolf Chi, but Iris also knows that this is somewhat helpless, since Wolf Chi chose to commit suicide, because he didn't want to extend his hatred to other people.
For the women and children of the wolf tribe, everyone didn't show too much hatred, after all, they didn't get involved, Song Xuan also asked about their situation, and learned that Shi Meng also gave them the first batch of houses built.
However, this is also the greatest kindness that Teng Snake can release, after all, he is involved in the war, and it is definitely impossible to completely become his own person, except for the children, of course, for those children who are only a few years old, Song Xuan is still ready to let them live in the tribe.
In any case, these children of a few years old don't know what's going on, and if they are taught well, they still have a good hope of becoming their own.
Of course, the age of the children selected must not be too big, Song Xuan divided them into two grades, one is under the age of four or five, the other is under the age of seven or eight, children under the age of four or five must not understand anything, there is no problem with getting along with the people of their own tribe for a long time, and the seven or eight year olds know a little more, so they still have to be arranged around the clansmen, as for what is like later, it depends on the thoughts of the rest of the wolf tribe.
