Chapter 616: Tribal Life
After Li Ji couldn't get a gift for the child from Xisha Hanya's house, he deliberately found a ring and put some candy and snacks in it, knowing that he was going to the place of exile, knowing that Tofu Zhuang was only seven years old in this life, he was even more frenzied to sweep the most upscale royal dim sum shop in Shenfang City outside the Crescent Moon Blessed Land, and all the things that children might love to eat were all included in the ring by him, and it would not be bad to eat in the ring anyway.
Not only that, but he also took out a few other rings, everything that may be used in mortal life, not only food, but also all kinds of daily necessities, thick satin shops, ready-to-wear shops, toy shops, etc., as long as he thinks of it, he will not let go of the same, anyway, he is not bad for gold and silver, if he can't use it in the land of exile, he will turn around and throw it away, the shop owners of Shenfang City are very happy on this special day, well, on November 11, someone stupid and rich high roller came from the mountains......
But these things can't all be taken out at once, they have to be done slowly and slowly......
The day after his tent was set up, Li Ji went deep into the wasteland alone, and the tribesmen thought at first that he was just walking around casually, but after half a day, this person was nowhere to be seen, so they hurriedly reported to the elders.
The children were looking forward to his miraculous tricks, and the elders might still be thinking about his possible wealth, so a hunting party was organized, not to hunt animals, but to find people, and Wang Bao also volunteered to join them.
In the early morning of the second day, just as the hunting team was about to set off, in the distance, a figure walked out of the horizon, dressed in a strange costume, followed by three huge adult camels!
..................
When evening came, the Mulan tribe began a bonfire festival that they had not carried out for a long time, three adult camel cows, each with the skin and internal organs of the head horns removed, and a full four or five hundred catties, three, enough for everyone in the Mulan tribe to enjoy the carnival.
This is Li Ji's greeting gift to the Mulan tribe, it can also be called a letter of nomination, not only his intention, but also shows his strength, no, the three elders have begun to show enough respect in their words with him, in the wasteland, wealth is very important, but strength is even more important, a strong warrior will always be the most precious property of the tribe.
"May the gods of the wilderness always protect you, guests from afar!" the elders toasted him with clay bowls.
Li Ji smiled, "I'm not a guest, I'm also a member of the Mulan tribe now!"
"Exactly, exactly," the elders nodded repeatedly, one of them tentatively:
"China is an aristocrat in the East?"
Aristocrats, in fact, are a general term for those human beings who can live in cities, and have neither special meaning nor special rights, but as a minority of knowledgeable people in the tribe, they still have a heartfelt envy of such people.
"So what? No, my home has been destroyed, I have been displaced, the past is unbearable, and I am just a small child of the Mulan tribe now!"
Seeing that Li Ji didn't want to mention more, the elders who were old and refined also changed the topic, who it doesn't matter, the far east has nothing to do with them, so why bother so much?
"Zhong Ze is willing to join the Mulan hunting team?
An elder said what they meant, the leader of the Mulan hunting team is Zhengzhen, and there are two deputy hunters, leading dozens of the most elite and powerful hunters in the tribe, and they are the most powerful force to protect the tribe, and this position is already very respected by the people of the tribe.
Li Ji shook his head, "Since I came to Mulan, I should do my best for the tribe, but it doesn't have to be hunting...... I mean, teach children to read!"
"Reading?
The three elders are not calm at all, hunting can maintain food and clothing, and reading can determine the future! This truth is not difficult for people of their age to understand. The world on the other side of the river has always controlled access to knowledge, whether it is books or scholars, and it has also controlled the path to progress.
The tribesmen also wanted to get out of this wasteland, and they also wanted to get rid of this backward way of survival, but they couldn't do it, and civilization, with the Hongshui River as the boundary, closed the door to them.
"Yes, I think it's far more meaningful to teach children to read than to go hunting in the wilderness! Besides, I don't think they'll be hungry without me!"
To be honest, Li Ji has never been a master, he doesn't have the patience and meticulousness, but some things are not something you can do if you want to, and some things are not something you can do if you don't want to do it.
Some people say that they can do what they want to do, and some people say that they can refuse what they don't want to do...... He can't do it!
Who can do it? With a long life and a strong strength, isn't he still dragging his millions of years old arms and legs back and forth in the heavens and all worlds? Is he really willing to play the so-called cultivation game with a rookie like Li Ji? Helpless!
It is impossible for him to tolerate Xi Mulan's illiteracy all her life, so he must teach her to read and write, he can't teach only one of Mulan, and abandon the three children of her uncle's family, in the same way, he can't only teach Wang Bao's four children and ignore the other children in the tribe, which will isolate this family in disguise, so just stew it!
As for reading to change fate, it's just talk, a teaching gentleman can't change them, it takes countless gentlemen, generations and more than ten generations of struggle, as for the Mulan tribe, when he leaves, it will be very good if a few people in this place can get out of the wasteland and integrate into the outside world.
He didn't blame the people on the other side of the Hongshui River for treating his own kind like this, if Xi Mulan grew up in the world on the other side, he wouldn't even look at the west bank of the Hongshui River.
Mulan grew up here, so his ass must sit on this side, that's all, and it has nothing to do with justice.
The bonfire festival continued, and many people knew that this distant visitor from the East would teach people to read and write in the tribe, and they all looked at him with the most eager eyes, and at the same time, they all let their children bring the fattest beef to their future teachers......
Mulan squeezed to Li Ji's side, a little shy,
"Uncle ......"
"Call me sir, just call me sir in the future. Li Ji looked at her face with interest, it was hard to imagine that this was another form of existence of Tofu Village, a completely different face, a different personality, the only thing that was the same, just that stubbornness.
"Sir, will you teach us to read in the future?"
"Yes. ”
"But we can't afford to pay an honorarium, and I heard them say that we can't afford to pay a year for children on the other side of the Hongshui River to study......
"No, Mr. teach you, don't take money, you, all of you are ......"
