Luo Chong explained in detail the current predicament of the Han tribe. The Han tribe has temporarily lost the ability to continue to expand. The main reason is the food source. These things have never been told to Xiaodie.

It was also the first time that Xiaodie knew how much responsibility Luo Chong, the leader, had to bear every day. This was a matter of survival for more than 2,000 people, which was not that simple.

Xiaodie pouted in disappointment. She had thought that if she could ask Tongchang to lead the Bian tribe to join the Han tribe, they could live together immediately, but she didn't expect that even if they joined, they would have to wait until the end of autumn at the earliest.

It was sad, but there was still hope after all. At least Luo Chong gave a deadline that was not too far away, just a few months. After thinking about this, Xiaodie simply repeated Luo Chong's words to the three senior leaders of the Bian tribe.

"Am, Luo Chong said that even if you agree to join the Han tribe now, you don't have to move there for the time being. You can wait until winter to move. Moreover, after joining the Han tribe, the hemp fields here will not be abandoned. We can come here to collect hemp grass in the future. Just agree first."

After listening to Xiaodie's retelling, the three senior leaders were obviously relaxed, especially the fact that they could come back in the future, which completely opened their psychological defenses. To be honest, the time that the tribe has lived and multiplied here cannot be verified, and it may be hundreds of years. They have feelings for this place.

Primitive tribes have low production capacity. It may take several generations of time and effort to build a good place to live. Generally, unless they encounter powerful enemies or insufficient food supply, they will not move easily as long as they can survive.

The three high-ranking officials whispered to each other for a while, and finally Shang made a summary; "To be honest, I don't really want to join the Han tribe, but for the sake of the better life of the tribe members of the Bian tribe, we can give it a try. Elder Bian and I want to go to the Han tribe with you tomorrow to take a look, and then make a decision. Do you think this is okay?"

Of course, this is just a nice thing to say. There is another sentence that Shang did not dare to say. The Bian tribe is powerless to resist this matter. Even if she directly refuses, who can guarantee that the Han tribe will not attack directly? Does the Bian tribe want to abandon the hemp fields here and run away? This is obviously unrealistic.

After Xiaodie's translation and retelling, Luo Chong nodded and expressed his welcome to Shang's visit. They can set off early tomorrow morning.

After the two sides finished their discussion and had almost finished dinner, Luo Chong lived alone in the thatched house arranged by Shang. The two Deinonymus lay at the door of Luo Chong, and Xiaodie lived with her mother and talked in private.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the leaders of the Bian tribe. The Han tribe was very powerful, and all kinds of technologies were very developed and advanced. If they could obtain these technologies, they would be very happy, but obtaining these meant losing sovereignty, and the Bian tribe would disappear forever. This was a contradictory state of mind.

Shang spent the night in anxiety and contradiction. When the sun rose, the people of the whole tribe began to prepare a hearty breakfast to reserve energy for the new day's work.

Shang and the elders did not eat. They simply explained the arrangements for the tribe in the past few days, took some barbecue cooked last night, and set off with Luo Chong. They had to hurry, and the situation of the tribe was always worrying when two leaders went out together.

On the way back, Luo Chong took the female elders of the Bian tribe to ride Huishan, Shang and Xiaodie rode Rourou, and the four people and two elephants moved forward quickly. Halfway

through the journey, they unexpectedly encountered a 12-person hunting patrol team from the Han tribe. The patrol team was equipped with 6 horned deer, which was convenient for rapid maneuvering or used to carry prey.

The hunting team had good luck today. Last night a group of wild boars fell into a trap, and three of them were caught in the rope trap. They have all been killed now, and the meat was cut up on the spot. The team sent a rider back to call for support, as they could not carry away so much meat by themselves.

After hastily greeting them, Luo Chong did not stop and continued to lead the people on their way. He could not help carry the bloody meat back. He was followed by three non-combatants. If they encountered danger on the road, Luo Chong would not be able to protect them.

The journey was safe and sound. This time they left relatively early. It was just noon when the four of them arrived at the small square of the Han tribe.

It was the first time for Shang and Elder Bian to come to the Han tribe. Everything in front of them was new to them.

Under their feet was a paved brick floor larger than a football field. It was flat, clean, and tidy. The huge bricks were lined up one after another, giving these primitive people a strong visual impact.

Is this a miracle? How can humans create such a flat ground? How many people would it take to build it?

As if seeing the amazement and confusion of the two, Luo Chong took the initiative to introduce it to them.

"It took more than 100 adult men half a month to build this square, from finishing the ground to laying all the tiles. It is mainly used to dry food, and for tribesmen to gather and worship. This includes the time and manpower for digging soil and burning bricks." Xiaodie was also interpreting at the side.

More than 100 adult men, my God, the total population of the tribe is only more than 200, where can they get so many men, but the Han tribe has them, and there are more.

Shang and the elders had some understanding, but they thought of different things. Shang thought that she seemed to have heard some important news again, it turned out that bricks were also made by burning soil, but the elders asked a very practical question.

"So many men do this every day, what do they eat?"

"There are special hunting teams responsible for hunting, the team we saw on the way here is one, and there are also gathering teams and fishing teams composed of women, who collect food in different places." Luo Chong explained.

Shang and the elder nodded in understanding, and then looked at the crowded construction site not far away, where there was a "huge" building complex under construction.

"What are so many people over there doing? Don't they need to collect food?" Shang asked curiously.

"They are building brick houses for the tribesmen. Brick houses are very strong, can shelter from wind and rain, and are not afraid of fire. You can cook in the house and burn fire in the house in winter. Even if it snows heavily outside, the house will be very warm, so the tribesmen will not freeze to death in winter. I can take you there to have a look. If you agree to join the Han tribe, you can live in such a house in the future."

As Luo Chong spoke, he led a few people to the construction site. From time to time, there were some ox carts pulling bricks passing by on the road. The drivers were all elderly or disabled people. They could not engage in high-intensity labor, so they drove the carts to transport building materials back and forth to make use of their spare energy for the Han tribe.
