Chapter 256: "Divide the Spoils" in Advance
After all, someone has been sent south to investigate, and King Wu is just venting, but although there have been no problems throughout the winter, if this continues, there will inevitably be big and small problems in the tribe, especially about food.
Without the three hundred people of Wuyun, the food obtained through hunting is almost halved, and the women have not yet reached the time to gather, and they will not be able to get back too much food for a long time, and the effect of their hunting will be much worse, after all, they are not professional, which is why the king of Wu is so anxious.
There is not much left of the family wealth that was saved before, such a huge tribe, the daily consumption is quite terrifying, and there are so many adult males at once, many things are not so convenient to arrange, of course, the most worrying thing is naturally the whereabouts of the personnel, at this time the news has not returned, even if you are impatient, you can only continue to wait.
……
"Hiss~"
"Bear with it, it's good to break it!"
"Ah~"
"Okay, okay, remember to wrap it in animal skins tomorrow, isn't there a animal skin cover?"
“……”
Although the work of crushing salt ore is not heavy, after all, she has been holding stones all day long, and Xue'er is not so experienced, and she has two small blisters after half a day.
Fortunately, after all, she has been working since she was a child, and she is not so delicate, Song Xuan found a thorn to help her pick it out, as long as she pays more attention to it later, there should be no big problem.
The remaining bronze of the tribe may be enough to make sharp weapons, but if it is used to smash stones, there is no problem at all, so there are three bronze chisels in the tools for this excavation, which not only improves the efficiency at once, but also makes it much easier to chisel.
The overall speed is about one-third faster than before, so that it will take less time to mine salt in the future, but unfortunately even this bronze is not much left, so we can only wait for the ore to come back and expand the scale.
Last year, Song Xuan was worried about the ore of Wuyu, but he couldn't bring anyone over until now, he was still too busy at the beginning of spring, and he needed to participate in big and small things.
Song Xuan also felt that the latter things still had to be handed over to the other leaders, after all, the things were not too complicated, so he could also liberate himself, but this year, the main thing was to reclaim the new rice fields and occupy too many people, so it would be more appropriate for him to take people out to run, and it should be much better in the future.
The small injury on the hand did not affect the speed of the next day's work, this kind of injury is really nothing in the tribe, now there are so many people in the tribe, large and small injuries will occur every day, basically will not affect the work behind, fortunately, now the snake is like a stone that breaks the arm and leg of the big injury has not appeared much, even if it is hunting, as long as you pay more attention, this kind of big injury can still be avoided.
After all, the food in the tribe is not so abundant, but it is not so bad that it is necessary to fight for one or two prey, as long as it is not too adventurous when hunting, and even less at other times.
In addition to the daily indoctrination of ideas, the most important thing is that everyone has a breath in their hearts, that is, it is too much to lose by keeping a useful body to fight the Black Feather tribe in the back, and leaving their lives in the forest.
……
Since most of the team were children, they walked for three and a half days, and then the cattle tribe who walked from the grass tribe, and the grass seedlings didn't know how much effort Xiong Guo had to make to cross the mountains and mountains to come here, which also made him admire Xiong Guo and the two of them, after all, there were only two adults in the team, and the materials were even more pitiful, and more than a dozen children could be brought over unscathed, and the difficulties can be imagined.
But the next thing he needs to do is to help Xiong Guo and them lighten their burden, of course, the process may not be very friendly, as long as the result is good, I believe that he will be forgiven at that time.
"Xiongguo, there is the cow tribe in front, let's go over together!"
"Hmm~"
It was the first time for the two of them to come, and even Niu He and the two of them had only met a few times before, plus what had happened in the Grass Tribe before, the two couldn't help beating the drum in their hearts.
Niu He had already known about Xiong Guo's arrival in advance, but in order to act like a little bit, he didn't send someone to greet him, but just like a normal sudden encounter, he only appeared in front of the group after someone reported it.
"Let's go, let's go to the tribe!"
Niu He also pretended to hear the news for the first time, and after simply learning about the situation from Xiongguo, he invited them into the tribe very warmly.
Looking at the dozen or so children beside Xiong Guo and the others, Niu He knew that what Cao Miao had sent over before was basically true.
Although Xiong Guo and the two gave most of the food to the children, after all, the stock of food was relatively small, and they were in the long journey after the beginning of spring, so they were already a little full and consumed, only by improving so much, the children all looked a little malnourished, and Xiong Guo and the two were even more so, with a thin face.
The story is easy to make up, but this state is not easy to deduce, especially the current grass tribe, although the situation is not particularly good, and it will definitely not fall to such a point, so it is definitely impossible for such a group of people to appear on a large scale.
After knowing that there were no other risks, Niu He was relieved, and observed the relationship between Cao Miao and Xiong Guo, which was indeed not good, and they both deliberately kept their distance.
So when he turned around, Niu He quickly communicated with Cao Miao with his eyes.
According to Cao Miao's idea, it was natural to take advantage of Xiong Guo and their most relaxed time to take it directly, but Niu He obviously wanted to persuade them, and it was not easy for them to do this matter alone now, so they could only pinch their noses and let Niu He play.
"Xiongguo, it was indeed not Teng Snake who attacked your tribe, it was ...... at that time"
Looking at Niu He's description, it was as if he was there at the time, and he could tell a thing or two about what happened before they fled.
However, although what Niu He and Cao Miao said was quite like that, the biggest loophole was that Wolf Chi knew where they were hiding at the time, why didn't he bring people to capture them after contributing to the Bear Tribe, and whether it was the defeat of the Black Wolf Coalition or the rest of the people joining Teng Snake, there was no mention of this matter.
This is what the two of them really don't understand, as for the selfish statement of Wolf Chi, it can only be regarded as a conjecture in this situation, and it can't completely convince the two to rush to Tengsnake with the child like this, once this is not the case, the consequences are impossible for them to accept.
"Or ......"
“……”
Niu He also thought of a few plans, but at this time, the two did not dare to completely hand over the children to these tribes, after all, they all said very consistently, if it was false, it could only be said that they had been completely shocked or fooled by the Teng Snake.
But at this time, there is not much food they carry, and they can't support sending someone to Teng Snake to run and invite the bear tribesmen among the Teng Snakes to come over, and they are not small in number, and it is not easy to propose to let the Niu tribe bear it, after all, who will repay this part of the things, they can't make a guarantee.
The conversation stalled again, and all the energy of the two of them was focused on this matter, but the grass seedlings, which had been silent, came up with the two of them
Seeing that Niu He was still carrying out meaningless persuasion, he didn't care, so he directly led people to pounce.
"Ah......h
When the two of them reacted, they had already been thrown to the ground by the grass seedlings.
"Grass seedlings...... You~"
As soon as the words came out, his hands had been tied up with animal skin ropes, and a set of procedures was quite familiar, and he had obviously been prepared for a long time.
Seeing that the children of the bear tribe had already reacted, "Wow yes" was about to rush up to besiege him, and Niu He was still in a daze, and Cao Miao hurriedly shouted:
"Quick, they all have weapons in their hands!"
The rest of the grass tribe has also begun to do it, after all, the oldest of these children is only seven or eight years old, and for adults, it is still very simple to subdue.
Although the people of the Niu tribe did not fully react, after all, the grass seedlings had already moved, and they quickly joined in, although a few children took out wooden sticks, but they still did not pose a threat in front of the adults.
Although Xiong Guo's mouths were not blocked, they did not continue to let the children threaten their lives when they saw this situation, after all, since Cao Miao had already done it, he must have made the worst plan, but he was a little too optimistic about Cao Miao, and the two closed their eyes, and could only pray that what Cao Miao said was correct.
"You ......"
It happened in an instant, and since they were all tied up, Niu He didn't have much to say.
"And send them to the Snake?"
I originally thought that there was no need to run the snake line this year, but now it seems that I still have to run a trip, although the person was scanned and brought over, but the thing also happened in the cattle tribe, this kind of thing can't let the grass seedling alone take the credit.
Xiong Guo and the two have not spoken much since they were caught, in order to prevent the two from having additional thoughts, this time the grass seedlings showed no mercy and tied the two of them strongly.
There is no need to ask for their opinions on the next arrangement, as long as the two tribes of cattle and grass need to discuss it.
The part of the discussion between the two now is still the question of how to distribute the corresponding compensation after Teng Snake gives the corresponding compensation, after all, the grass tribe has to pay more, but this is also a share of the spoils in advance, and it may not even be possible to pay or not, but out of the recognition that the divine envoy has always been more generous, the two still put the ugly words in front.
However, the matter is not complicated, it was quickly discussed, and the two did not want to delay more, when they decided to have lunch and set off, the Niu tribe had already made preparations, after all, considering that the tribe was attacked, and the entire tribe was ready to flee, at this time, it was naturally not a problem to just bring the bear tribe, not to mention the grass seedlings and their boat.
