Chapter 264: Interrogation of the Captives
"Oracle, we're leaving!"
The task and purpose of this trip have been achieved, and Niu He and Cao Miao naturally did not want to stay any longer, so they proposed to return to the tribe after eating in the morning.
The temperature gradually rose, and it was time for the various tribes to make a big move, and Song Xuan did not continue to hold on.
What was promised to them yesterday had already been loaded that night, so the people of the two tribes could leave directly now.
Before leaving, Song Xuan also told them the news of the reappearance of the Black Feather Tribe, which naturally wanted them to pay attention to it, after all, once they couldn't break through from Teng Snake's side, it was not impossible to make a detour, of course, this possibility was relatively small.
It's always right to pay more attention, otherwise when the time comes, it will probably end up like kites and bears.
The two tribes had encountered the defeat of the remnants led by the dark clouds last year, and they also knew something about their cunning, not to mention the strength, just sent out a part of it to wipe out the two strongest tribes before this piece in one fell swoop, or not just planted a heel on the side of the Teng Snake, they estimated that there would be no good end, so after hearing that the Black Feather tribe had reappeared in this area, they also took it to heart, and after they decided to return to the tribe, they told the people of their tribe to pay attention to the appearance of strangers.
For the situation that occurred last year, in fact, several tribes have also made an agreement, that is, if there is no abnormality in normal times, they will not move easily, except for the Teng Snake side, it must be the leader who brings people over, as for whether to disarm or not, it depends on their own ideas.
However, this is only to avoid it to a certain extent, and what they can do is still quite limited, after all, if the Black Feather tribe really wants to invade the south, it is difficult for a small tribe like them to have any resistance, and the best way is to flee directly.
Of course, compared to them, Teng Snake's side is naturally more dangerous, and Song Xuan is also a little headache, having such an enemy who has been staring at you is really a troublesome thing, and you can't farm well.
The two tribes of Niu and Cao sent people over, but it was only a small episode, and it did not affect the daily work of Teng Snake, and the captives were already working in the fields before the people of the two tribes set off.
As for the two Xiong Guo, the tribe wanted them to recuperate for two days, but the two of them seemed to be a little stronger, and they refused everyone's kindness, but fortunately, the two of them were in a good state, and their mood was obviously improved a lot, so they also let them participate, but the tasks arranged were relatively easy, and at the same time, a few people from the original bear tribe took them, and Song Xuan also hoped that they could integrate faster.
And although those children look just thinner physically, but after all, they are relatively young, so they are handed over to Shi Yan and Shui Wu to carry, and there are two of the eight people before who are a little younger, they have been completely integrated after a winter of familiarity, and it is better to follow the two of them on the side, but these children are very sensible, although the oldest is only six or seven years old, but it is no worse than the children in the tribe who are about ten years old.
The work is even more quick, breakfast is made by Shi Yan and a few people, although it is just to look at the fire and carry firewood, but it is still very highly praised by Shi Yan and Shui Wu.
With such a group of sensible children, Song Xuan was not worried about what accidents would happen to them in the tribe, but he was a lot more worried.
As for learning to speak, after all, it's not winter, so the time is not so suitable, the children are okay, Song Xuan and Shui Wu can find time to teach them in turn, I believe that such sensible children will not learn too slowly, and they have not yet mastered the original language, and now it is easier to learn Huaxia language.
And Xiong Guo and the two can only slowly master it in life, but they just understand the simple meaning, and it won't take too long, after all, this is a primitive society, life is relatively pure, and there are just a few things every day, or it won't take long to understand it.
Due to the appearance of black feather people around the tribe, Shi Meng did not arrange for people to go out hunting today, but personally led some people to patrol the surroundings, and at the same time arranged some traps in some important places.
Traps in the forest have been proven to be very useful, especially now that they are not very dense, but the area is quite wide.
Since it was not known whether the ten people had returned to the black feather yesterday or continued to hide around the Teng Snake, the sentry was re-arranged.
For the sake of safety, the sentry is not far from the Teng Snake, and it is basically half a day to return to the tribe, and if you run, it will take even less time.
This arrangement, in addition to saving manpower, can also make the effect better, after all, most of the people in Teng Snake are in the tribe now, and once they receive the news, they can react in a short time.
In addition, everyone will carry weapons when they go out to work, after all, they suffered some losses yesterday, not to mention that if they really hit the Teng Snake, if they don't carry weapons, they don't have much ability to resist.
Although it will be a little more troublesome to reclaim, but after all, it is still very necessary to deal with the safety of the tribe, and at the same time, the custody of the captives is more strict, although the escort of the captives back is very secretive, and they should not know about the incident with the black feather, but if the speechless people touch the snake around, it is difficult to avoid, and the two sides communicate in advance.
After all, it hasn't been long since he joined the Teng Snake, if someone responds and can let them escape, I believe that most of the captives should be involved, the number of these captives is already relatively large, and once it really makes trouble, it will still be a little difficult to deal with.
So now the places where these captives work are more concentrated, the captives of the Black Feather tribe are in the middle, the people of the wolf tribe are on the periphery, and now the ploughing in the tribe is also carried out around them, which can basically be said to surround them.
Coupled with the surrounding open space, even if someone from the Black Feather tribe really came, the distance between the two sides was not enough, what kind of communication did they have, not to mention that there were people from Teng Snake who were always staring at them.
Song Xuan also said to a few people who were specifically responsible for keeping an eye on him, and there should always be two people in each direction around him to watch the surrounding environment, one person to the inside and the other person to the outside.
In addition to the she-wolf, Wangcai and the three wolf cubs were also mobilized, although they were still in the clearing near the tribe, but they must be more sensitive to changes in the forest than people, as they had seen yesterday.
In this way, as long as it is not caught off guard, Teng Snake still has time to organize an effective resistance, and under this arrangement, it is a little difficult to get close to the Teng Snake within five miles, at least it is impossible to enter on a large scale.
Of course, today Song Xuan did not forget the few captives he found yesterday, and after sending Niu He and them away, he returned to the tribe, and Shi Yu also brought four people over.
"The Divine Messengers Are Still Alive"
Although two people were injured by bows and arrows yesterday, Song Xuan didn't see where the specific injuries were at that time, and now when he looks, one was shot at the position of the shoulder blade in the back, and the other was shot in the calf.
After being caught, the arrows have already been pulled out, and they have also been bandaged simply, although such a wound is not small for this group of primitive people, but in most cases it is not fatal, and the two are only slightly weak, of course, this weakness can also be seen in the other two, after all, since they were caught, the four have been tied up in the house, not a drop of water, let alone food.
For this kind of person who adds a lot of trouble to the tribe, even Song Xuan, who has always been relatively kind, wants to let them taste the bitterness.
Since there was no big deal, Song Xuan was not ready to grind with them, and asked directly:
"What are you here for?"
When they were escorted back yesterday, several people had already seen hundreds of people working near Teng Snake, and naturally some of them also recognized that some of them belonged to the Black Feather Tribe, and they were also the people who were sent to attack these tribes last year.
However, the personnel are more complicated, and the distance is a little far, and the dark clouds they have been looking for have not been seen, but several people naturally dare not make conclusions at this time.
However, they also knew that they knew too late, and now that everyone was caught by the Teng Snake, it was useless to know, although the other few people did not know where to go, but in the eyes of the four black cows, there was a high probability that they should be caught up and killed.
When they were caught, several people even thought about running away, but when they came to Teng Snake and saw that there were so many people, they didn't think much about it anymore.
They still know the general strength of Teng Snake, although they don't know why the three hundred warriors were here to help Teng Snake dig the ground last year, but no matter what the reason, it must be caused by Teng Snake, these hundreds of people can't run, let alone the four of them, and although Teng Snake didn't punch and kick them, the treatment is also extremely poor, and they don't give any food, so it's better to take a few beatings.
The task that came out this time was the situation of the Dark Cloud Division, but now that I know it, I can't pass the news back, but since the four of them can be sent out, it is obvious that among the Black Feather Tribe, they are also the more loyal ones.
In addition, the treatment on Teng Snake's side was too bad, and several people thought that Teng Snake was going to execute them, so in the face of Song Xuan's inquiry, several people were not moved at all, and even closed their eyes.
Song Xuan didn't expect these people to be so tough, communicating with people from other tribes originally required a certain amount of body language, but now that they closed their eyes, they naturally couldn't continue.
"Go, let Ebony bring a few people!"
