Thinking about various management systems in his mind, Xiaodie lying on his body has already made even breathing sounds. It is quiet outside the shack, and the footsteps of the hunting team patrolling can be heard faintly.
"No matter what reform, we have to wait until we get back to implement it. Let's win this battle first." Luo Chong twisted his numb neck, picked up a piece of animal skin to cover himself and Xiaodie, and fell asleep.
There was no conversation all night. The next morning, when it was just dawn, Xiaodie was lying on Luo Chong and dreaming beautifully. Suddenly, she felt someone was messing with her hair and patting her back. She thought it was Luo Chong calling her to get up again.
So Xiaodie rubbed her face on Luo Chong and said in a daze: "Well, Luo Chong, let me sleep a little longer, it's not dawn yet."
Xiaodie twisted her body and wanted to continue sleeping, but she still felt someone patting her. The back of her neck was still hot and wet, just like someone was kissing her.
Xiaodie was immediately embarrassed, but suddenly she felt something was wrong. She was lying on Luo Chong's body, so who was kissing her neck from behind?
When she slowly turned her head, she suddenly saw a long, wet nose swaying on her body.
"Ah, Luo Chong, there is a monster."
Xiaodie screamed in fear, pulled Luo Chong up, and then hid behind Luo Chong and shook him hard.
"Uh, don't shake it. It is a herbivore raised by our tribe. Its name is Rourou. It eats grass and won't bite people. You don't have to be afraid."
Luo Chong rubbed his confused eyes, looked at Rourou standing at the door of the shack, with a cute face and licking his nose, and turned to comfort Xiaodie.
"Really? Ah - there is another one behind." Xiaodie hid behind Luo Chong and asked in surprise. Suddenly, she felt something moving behind her. Then she turned around and looked back. A big hole had been torn out on the wall of the shack behind her, and there was a similar long nose pulling grass from the shack and stuffing it into its mouth.
Luo Chong turned his head and slapped himself on the forehead. Damn, you guys just won't let go of the grass. You ate my grass skirt and now you're eating my grass hut.
When Xiaodie and Luo Chong came out of the shack, they saw Rourou and Huishan had already started breakfast in their shack. The two of them were getting bigger and bigger, and their appetite was getting more and more worrying for Luo Chong.
Xiaodie saw that these two idiots really ate grass, and she was not as scared as before. She circled around them and looked at Luo Chong's two "pets" curiously, while Luo Chong went to find Dali who was on duty.
"Da Li, today you ask the tribesmen to build more thatched huts on the top of the hillside facing Tuogu Ridge. Use thin branches and grass, or even shrubs.
These huts are not for living, but for lighting fires. Quality is not important, quantity is important. You can even use firewood piles to make up the number. The distribution area should be large, and the distance in between can be extended. When the fire is lit, the sea of fire should be clearly visible from the hillside." Luo Chong began to arrange countermeasures to deal with the Fire Tribe.
"Chief, are you burning it for the Fire Tribe to see?" Da Li scratched his head and asked uncertainly.
"That's right, hurry up and do it. The Fire Tribe will come in three or four days. We must disguise this place as a large residential area within these few days." Luo Chong explained.
"Yes, Chief, I know." Da Li responded and went to find someone to do the work.
On the Tuogu Ridge, everyone, under the command of Luo Chong, set up a false formation, ready to catch the invading enemy in one fell swoop. Meanwhile, not far to the northeast of the Huo Tribe, dozens of kilometers away, You Fu was also marching with a team of nearly 100 people.
Of this team of less than 100 people, more than 50 were members of the You Tribe, and the remaining 30 were "wild people" collected from various places. They were both men and women, and there were not too old children who followed the adults with their bare bottoms. They were all very thin, and many adults had some old injuries or disabilities that could never be recovered.
In a jungle not far in front of them, next to a huge rock, a large mound of earth suddenly bulged up on the ground like a grave. At the joint between the mound of earth and the rock, a large black hole extended underground.
On the ground outside the cave, a woman in her forties was cooking something with a bowl-sized clam shell. In the grass not far away, an 8-year-old girl led four girls aged five or six. They were digging something on the ground with branches.
Suddenly, a little girl seemed to have dug up something and happily ran to the middle-aged woman to show off: "Grandma, grandma, look, I dug up a big earthworm. Here, you can eat it."
The little girl stretched out her hands covered with mud, holding the twisting earthworm in her hands, swallowing her saliva.
The middle-aged woman turned her head and looked in the direction of the little girl, but she could only see a vague outline. There was no black pupil in her eyes, only a turbid white. If Luo Chong was here, he would be able to tell at a glance that it was cataracts.
"Good child, eat it yourself. Grandma is not hungry. Grandma is old and can't eat so much." The woman touched the little girl's hair and said.
"Then, let's cook it and eat it together."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, threw the earthworm directly into the clam shell, and then took the branch and started digging again.
After a while, the 8-year-old girl also came over with a few mushrooms, "Grandma, I found some mushrooms, let's cook them for my sisters."
"Okay, the eldest daughter is still capable, you go and bring all the sisters back, there are some chestnuts in the cave, you go and get some for the sisters." The middle-aged woman smiled kindly.
The little girl hummed and turned to call her little sisters, but as soon as she turned around, she saw a sturdy adult man riding on a tall horned deer, looking down at them.
The little girl was startled and quickly shouted to her sisters: "Da Ya, Er Ya, come back quickly." While shouting, she also picked up the two children who were closest to her.
Several little girls ran behind the middle-aged woman in a panic. One of the children accidentally knocked over the clam shell that was cooking something. The half-cooked wild vegetables, earthworms, and mushrooms inside were directly spilled all over the ground, covered with black charcoal ash and mud.
"Wow, grandma, I'm scared."
"Child, don't be afraid, stand behind, who are you and what are you doing?"
The middle-aged woman stood up, holding a not-so-straight wooden stick and pointing to the front. While comforting the children behind her, she was wary of You Fu who was riding the horned deer in front.
"Blind grandma, I am Fu from the You tribe. I came to see you." You Fu turned over and got off the deer's back and slowly approached the women.
"Fu? What are you doing here? Haha, you come to see us? What's so good about a blind old woman like me and a few immature children? We don't have anything to exchange with you."
The woman was relieved when she heard that the visitor was actually from the You tribe, which she knew. The You tribe often traveled around and had contact with wild people from all over the place. The You tribe would even buy the prey or herbs hunted by the wild people, and help them exchange them with the big tribe for what they need, and get benefits from it.
Everyone gets what they need and does not infringe on each other. The wild people also think this is fair, so they often have contact with the You tribe.
You Fu also said directly: "Girl-in-law, a big tribe is looking for me for people. That tribe is willing to take you in. Will you go?"
You Ye, who was following beside, quickly pulled You Fu: "Brother, the Han leader didn't say that he wanted such young children, and they are also followed by a blind grandmother. You take these people over. What if he doesn't give us a ox cart?"
"He will want them. He is a capable leader. We have few people in the You tribe and no place to live. We can only rely on hunting and running errands for others to earn enough to feed so many people. But the Han tribe is different. They can feed hundreds of people, so they won't think these few people are too many.
Look at what those children eat. If you are able to feed them, would you not take them in?"
You Fu pointed to the overturned clam shell on the ground. A little girl was still wiping her tears, picking up the half-cooked wild vegetables and earthworms from the mud mixed with grass ash and charcoal, rubbing her eyes and stuffing the food she had finally found into her mouth.
Youye was silent watching this scene. His own child was already over three years old. If he had to watch his child picking up these things from the ground to eat, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
