Jiang Xue stared at the map and felt confused for the first time.
How come this is completely different from what I thought?
How did they get this map? They hadn't even invented writing yet, so how did they draw this map?
Yang Jiu had never expected that he could successfully infiltrate the Snake Tribe using a map that he thought was completely useless. A warm smile finally appeared on his face.
Although he did not meet the leader of the Snake Tribe, living in a house like this was better than living in a cave.
The cave is dark and damp, and there will be a strange smell if you live there for a long time.
It’s nothing like the houses here, with clean windows and compacted floors that are more comfortable to walk on than grass.
With nothing to do, he took another walk around the area.
I saw the crops they planted.
He didn't recognize these things, but one thing was certain: since they were planted on such a large scale, it must mean that these things were very important to them.
Then he also visited their valley under the guidance of others.
It was the first time he saw people keeping pheasants, wild boars, goats, cows and horses in captivity.
The crops had already given him a visual shock, and he had never imagined that there were so many livestock here that he couldn't even count them.
This once again refreshed his understanding. It turns out that as long as you are willing, these animals can be raised in the tribe.
What interested him even more was the ditch that ran across the valley and connected to the river behind the mountain.
Although he didn't know what the ditch was used for, seeing the water flowing down continuously, he followed it down and saw a large pond at the end.
How did they create such a big pond?
It was not until Mu Feng came back that he noticed that the chief of the Snake Tribe was actually a young and strong man.
He went forward to greet her in surprise, but Mu Feng just glanced at him lightly and then searched for Jiang Xue in the crowd.
"Axue, are they going to merge into our tribe?"
Jiang Xue was checking the map without even looking up: "No, they said they want to be our affiliated tribe."
Being incorporated into a tribe and being affiliated with a tribe are two different things.
After merging into the tribe, their original tribes no longer existed. Just like the Bear Tribe, Bamboo Tribe and Fire Tribe, after merging into the Snake Tribe, they could only call themselves people of the Snake Tribe to the outside world.
The subordinate tribes generally submit to the Snake Tribe.
They can have their own territory and call themselves the Yang Tribe or a subordinate tribe of the Snake Tribe.
Mu Feng was also quite realistic. When he heard that the other party wanted to be his subordinate tribe, he said to them with a lack of interest: "We don't need a subordinate tribe. Please go back."
Jiang Xue looked at Mu Feng in surprise.
He doesn't even want this little brother who came to his door?
Have personality.
Yang Jiu was anxious and said, "Chief Mufeng, although there are only more than 20 people in our Yang tribe, we are all very hardworking. As long as you are willing to accept us, we will go to Le if you want us to, and we will not go west."
Mu Feng shook his head. "Have you heard of the Bear Tribe? When they merged with our Snake Tribe, they had over fifty people. When the Bamboo Tribe merged with us, they also had nearly sixty people. The Fire Tribe had fewer people, but still around forty. Which of these tribes isn't stronger than your tribe of twenty people?"
"There's no room for negotiation on this matter. Please go back."
Jiang Xue smiled slightly, she knew what Mu Feng wanted to say.
This guy is a black-bellied gang after all.
Although what he said sounded so high-sounding, his meaning was very clear. He asked them to join the Snake Tribe.
Only if they join the Snake Tribe can they better control them.
Yang Jiu also understood what he meant. He looked unhappy. "This is a big deal. I want to discuss it with the people in my tribe first, and then give you an answer."
"good."
Mu Feng agreed readily without any hesitation.
Yang Jiu turned around and went to discuss with the people from the Yang tribe.
This is a big deal, and Mu Feng will not force them. For the Snake Tribe, there is actually no difference between having 10 or 20 more people or 10 or 20 less people.
What Yang Jiu and others didn't expect was that when it was time for dinner, Mu Feng warmly invited them to have dinner together.
At Jiang Xue's instruction, Elder Chimu found them and asked about the situation of their tribe.
Yang Jiu never thought that Elder Chimu would chat with them with a purpose, and in just a few words, Elder Chimu knew the details of their tribe.
"So, you also escaped because of the drought?"
"Our tribe's water source has run out, so we thought of trying our luck in the Snake Tribe."
Akagi said, "This is a big deal. You know the Bamboo Tribe, right? They merged into our Snake Tribe because they had no water."
He sighed, "Why is it so dry everywhere?"
"Our tribe is relatively well off. We only had no water recently. You haven't seen the tragic scenes of many tribes fighting over water sources."
Akagi nodded. "I heard that your Yang Tribe used to be a subsidiary tribe of the Bluebird Tribe. Now that the Bluebird Tribe has been destroyed, are you looking for another way out?"
"As the young chief of the Yang tribe, I can't just watch the people of the tribe die from lack of water!"
That's true.
But Elder Akagi already understood their purpose and said nothing more. Instead, he said, "Don't worry, there is a big river behind our tribe. No matter how scarce water is, we are not in that situation."
Yang Jiu's eyes immediately showed envy: "That's right, if there was such a big river near our tribe, we wouldn't have to run out to find another way out."
Akagi found Jiang Xue and told her the information he had found out.
Jiang Xue frowned as she heard this: "So, it's not just one or two tribes that are suffering from the drought, but many tribes?"
If there were only one or two tribes, she might be able to accept them, but if everyone was facing drought to varying degrees, then the Snake Tribe would be powerless to help.
Jiang Xue was very glad that she did not agree to their request right away.
"Okay, don't worry about this anymore, and tell the tribe to have as little contact with them as possible. After they leave, we'll look for other water sources."
Akagi was stunned: "Do we need to find another water source?"
Jiang Xue hummed, "Haven't you noticed that the river water level has dropped significantly this year? If we don't take the initiative to find other water sources, we will probably face the same dilemma as them."
"There are many people in our tribe and many livestock. We can drink less water, but the livestock cannot."
"Snow Witch, do you have any better ideas?"
Jiang Xue frowned. The only solution she could think of now was to dig a well.
Moreover, one or two wells may not be able to meet the water needs of so many people in the tribe. It would be better to dig two more wells.
But when Jiang Xue thought about digging a well, she felt a headache again.
