Building Infrastructure in the Primitive Era

After ten years in the apocalypse, Qiao Yu died in battle. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated to primitive society.

Her father, Shan, the tribal chief, was bitten by a tige...

Chapter 117 Let’s Choose a Tribe Name

Although Shan and the three elders lived far away and moved slowly, they were concerned about the tribe and still followed everyone here. They happened to hear what Qiao Yu had just said.

Elite soldiers? Warriors?

Several people looked at each other.

"Shan, what does this mean? Did Yu say anything to you when he went back? Is someone targeting us again?" Lu asked Shan hurriedly.

Everyone was busy trying to keep themselves fed and clothed, only seeing people from other tribes once a year during the trade fair. Although they had heard about the conflicts among the tribes outside, and the war with the Stone Tribe had just ended, no one was prepared for war.

So when Lu heard these two words, he thought that another tribe was targeting them.

Shan shook his head, his face solemn. “No. She just told me about the construction of the new tribe, nothing else.”

Several people turned their heads in silence, watching Qiao Yu give orders to the men, assigning them to plant things. Then, teams came out in an orderly manner, picking up yam seedlings, chestnut trees, and bamboo roots, and went to work separately.

Seeing that Qiao Yu was about to go and see, Shan quickly called her: "Yu."

Qiao Yu ran over and asked, "Father, what's the matter?"

"What did you mean by elite soldiers and warriors? Are we being targeted by another tribe again?"

The crowd gathered around him, wondering the same thing. Jianshan asked the question they wanted to ask, their eyes fixed on Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu laughed. "No, no one is targeting us, don't worry. I'm just training everyone. If we don't train now, we'll be in a mess if something happens. It's better to prepare early and cultivate their combat awareness than to know nothing at all."

She was afraid that everyone might not understand, so she gave another example: "Take the traps near our tribe. If we set them early, no matter who comes to spy on our tribe or plot against us, they won't succeed. If we wait until someone attacks before setting the traps, won't it be too late? The same goes for the men in the tribe. Train them regularly and make them combat-ready, so that no matter when someone attacks, we won't be afraid."

"real?"

"Really!" Qiao Yu said, "If you don't believe me, just wait until the men come back and ask them."

Having just experienced the war with the Stone Tribe, and suddenly moved to an unfamiliar place, this place was still empty and spacious. Compared with the small valley surrounded by mountains, it seemed particularly insecure. Everyone was already very uneasy, and when they heard Qiao Yu's words, their hearts were panicked.

Now that Qiao Yu spoke so confidently, everyone finally put their minds at ease.

"That's good, that's good." Lu was relieved and began to flatter him out of habit, "Yu thinks of everything first, so we old guys don't have to worry about it."

Qiao Yu smiled and waved to everyone: "You guys take a look around here, I'll go watch them plant trees."

"Go ahead."

Actually, there was no need to look; Qiao Yu had already planned what to plant and where. Chestnut seedlings were planted on the hillside, yams in the reclaimed land, some bamboo roots planted on the hillside, and some on the cliff where everyone came ashore. When they grew up, they would provide shade for the path. The team leaders knew all this. Each team had already decided what to plant, so Qiao Yu didn't need to worry about it.

There wasn't much to plant. The chestnut trees and bamboo roots were planted before nightfall, and the yams were planted by torchlight after dark. As for other crops like ginger, soybeans, and millet, Qiao Yu didn't dare rely on others. He planned to carefully plant them in the small plot of land he had cleared in his yard over the next few days, tending to them personally every day.

When everyone finished planting the sweet potatoes and returned to the tribe, they saw a blazing bonfire burning in the open space at the foot of the mountain. Women and children were waiting for everyone to come back together to drink soup and eat barbecue to celebrate the successful migration of the tribe.

"Thank you all for your hard work." Lu Hongliang's voice rang out among the crowd.

Then, he walked through the crowd carrying a bowl of broth, came to the front of the team returning from planting, raised the broth in his hands above his head, and presented it to Qiao Yu.

"Shan is not very mobile, and he's Yu's father, so it's not appropriate for him to represent the entire tribe in offering soup to Yu. So, I'll represent everyone and thank Yu for helping us safely through the most difficult snowy season and for finding such a wonderful new place for us."

As he said this, he performed a tribal salute to Qiao Yu.

The others followed him and saluted Qiao Yu.

The men behind him were still a little confused. Seeing Lu and the others doing this, they quickly followed suit and saluted.

"Everyone, get up quickly," Qiao Yu said, taking the bowl of soup and taking a sip. "I also thank you all for your trust and support. Without your trust, I wouldn't be the leader; without your support, I wouldn't be able to successfully bring you all here. All the changes and achievements of the tribe are inseparable from all of you present here. Even those of the original Stone Tribe have put in a lot of effort to help the tribe migrate during this period. Thank you all."

During this period, Qiao Yu trained the men and gave them lectures every day, and the men have learned to applaud.

Hearing her words, the men behind her clapped their hands. The women and children in front were stunned for a moment, then followed their example and clapped their hands vigorously.

Qiao Yu raised his hand and pressed it down. The applause behind him instantly died down. The applause in front of him also slowly stopped.

"Okay, everyone is tired after a day of work. Let's drink soup, eat meat, and dance to our heart's content," said Qiao Yu.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu's voice rang out again: "Yu, we have something else to say. Our tribe used to live in the valley, so everyone called us the Valley Tribe. Now that we no longer live in the valley, shouldn't we choose a more appropriate and powerful name?"

"Yes, powerful names like the Sun Tribe and the God Tribe." Someone said in the crowd.

Qiao Yu also strongly agreed to choose a new name for the tribe.

The tribe originally had no name. The name "Valley Tribe" was given by others based on the tribe's living environment and had no special meaning. Now that the tribe has moved and no longer lives in the valley, and with the addition of the Stone Tribe, calling it the "Valley Tribe" is not only inappropriate, but also makes the Stone Tribe feel a sense of belonging.

Therefore, it is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the tribe's relocation to choose a new name.

Now that Lu had brought it up, Qiao Yu asked with a smile, "Oh? So what name do you want?"

The four elders had probably been discussing this matter for a long time. Qiao Yu had heard Xiaoquan mention it when she returned to her original valley tribe. She was curious about what impressive name the four elders had come up with.
