"Zheng!"
"Duk!"
There was still some residual snow outside the Blackrock Tribe cave. They were finally allowed to use bows and arrows again, and they could use the bark for the bows and arrows. Holding the bows, they aimed at the tree stumps standing in the distance, shooting again and again. The feather arrows were nailed to the tree stumps, making a 'thump thump' sound.
Compared with before, Shuba's archery skills have declined a lot, which is caused by not a touching bow and arrow for a long time.
Now that he was allowed to own a bow and arrow, Shupi practiced archery very diligently. He wanted to improve his archery skills quickly.
Because he learned from the Black Rock Tribe that when the weather becomes warmer, those tribes that have surrendered to the Black Rock Tribe will bring food and pay it to the Black Rock Tribe.
The Blue Flower Tribe is also one of the many tribes that have surrendered to the Black Stone Tribe. The time will surely come, and it will be impossible not to improve archery skills as quickly as possible.
In fact, Shupi really wanted the Blue Flower Tribe not to pay food to the Black Stone Tribe, because if he did that, the leader of the Black Stone Tribe would lead his people to attack the Blue Flower Tribe, and as a member of the Black Stone Tribe, he would naturally have to go and fight as well.
However, such an idea would not be realized, because as far as he knew, except for the tribes that would rebel in the beginning, now, these surrendered tribes would no longer resist.
During the days of practicing archery on tree bark, the temperature was slowly rising day by day.
Tender grass sprouts are emerging from the withered grass roots, and small buds are also growing on the bare tree branches. Scattered wild flowers are beginning to appear in the fields where the ice and snow have completely melted.
On days like this, tribes that had surrendered to the Black Rock Tribe came one after another, bringing food as payment.
Those who arrived early were basically from tribes that accepted captives from the Bark Tribe.
Because there was an abundance of food in the tribe, people became more generous and straightforward when spending money, and were no longer as stingy as before.
Whenever a tribe came to pay food, Shupi would pay close attention and organize the bow on his back and the arrows at his waist. As a result, none of the tribes that came were from the Blue Flower Tribe.
Tree Bark was disappointed again and again, and at the same time he also hoped that the Blue Flower Tribe would not come to pay for food.
"￥%……DFR!"
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe, which is located relatively south of the Black Stone Tribe, raised his voice and shouted loudly.
Then, a group of people she had selected, following her orders, carried the food on the ground that was intended to be sent to the Blackrock Tribe, as well as the food they would eat on the road, and followed their leader forward, holding their crude weapons.
Among the tribes that surrendered to the Black Rock Tribe and did not receive captives from the Bark Tribe, the Blue Flower Tribe was the first to go to the Black Rock Tribe to pay food.
This is not because the speed at which they obtained food has greatly increased this year, but because their leader did not let them eat as much as they wanted. Most of the food they obtained was saved and used to pay the Blackrock Tribe.
In the past, such behavior would definitely make some people in the tribe dissatisfied, but this time, these hungry people did not complain at all. Moreover, as they carried the food they had saved and brought with them, and followed their leader to the Blackrock Tribe, they even had smiles on their faces. They were very excited and wished they could get to the evil Blackrock Tribe, which they would never want to go to even if they were killed.
The reason for such a big change is that their leader had already told her grand plan long before they started doing this. Their leader did this in order to see the bark earlier and then get the two magical tools that could obtain a lot of food through the bark.
As long as the tribe has these two tools, the life of the tribe will suddenly become better, and it can become rich like other tribes that have these two tools.
As for whether this trip would be successful, this was not even within their consideration.
Because they have seen the leader's wisdom, they feel that since the leader said so, it will definitely succeed.
The wisdom of the leader of the Blue Flower tribe is recognized by everyone in the tribe. If not, it would not be easy for her to become the leader of the tribe as a woman.
Carrying food and expectations, everyone headed towards the direction of the Blackrock Tribe.
The people of the Blue Flower Tribe who stayed in the cave looked at their leader and those carrying food who were leaving, their eyes full of anticipation.
They all hoped to live the kind of life the leader talked about...
A fine spring rain fell, turning the willow trees green and the peach blossoms red. As the swallows with their own scissors flew low, the Qingque tribe began to plant their first batch of crops.
"ha!"
The eldest brother, standing with his legs apart on a wooden rake with bronze teeth, shouted and shook the reins in his hand.
The two donkeys pulling the wooden rakes received the order and moved forward.
As they moved, the wooden rake and the eldest brother who was standing on the rake and pressing the rake also moved forward. The rake teeth were inserted into the ground twelve or thirteen centimeters deep, leaving traces on the turned over land.
After this, all the dirt and clods of earth became broken into pieces.
The large piece of land that the eldest brother was raking was turned over in the autumn before the New Year. After a winter of thermal expansion and contraction, the clods of earth that originally seemed hard have now become brittle.
The soil becomes very flat and fine after being raked, making it ideal for sowing.
In addition to this benefit, plowing the land before heavy snow falls has another benefit: it can freeze to death pests and insect eggs hidden under the soil, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.
When the eldest brother harrows the land, he does not walk from one end of the land to the other end with the harrow. Instead, he starts from one corner of the land and moves diagonally to the other opposite corner, and then turns after arriving.
After a full circle, it looks like an '8' has been drawn in the field.
This way, the harrowing process can reduce the number of turns back and forth as much as possible, which can greatly improve the efficiency of harrowing.
This method was discovered by the eldest brother after Han Cheng's suggestion. After he practiced it proficiently, he passed it on to the rest of the tribe.
While the eldest brother and some other people were raking the land, someone who was more experienced in sowing came over, leading a deer and carrying a wooden plow, carrying the grains that he had selected for use as seeds, and began to sow.
"Cuckoo cuckoo~cuckoo cuckoo~"
In the distance, a cuckoo was calling continuously, and the sound could be heard from far away.
Inside the silkworm room of the Qingque tribe, Sister Bai Xue, who was scattering some tender mulberry leaves into a winnowing basket, heard the cuckoo's call and subconsciously put one hand on her stomach. When she found that her stomach didn't hurt anymore, she felt relieved.
This was not because Bai Xuemei felt something when she heard the cuckoo's call, but because Han Cheng had told her before that the cuckoo's call was: "Cuckoo cuckoo~ The silkworm is coming out of its belly~"
A silkworm keeper is a person who raises silkworms, and he always has diarrhea.
After saying this, Han Cheng seriously told Bai Xuemei that the reason why the cuckoo calls like this is because it wants to eat silkworms, but because there are silkworm farmers nearby, it does not dare to come over to eat, so it starts calling like this repeatedly.
The purpose is to make the silkworm farmers have diarrhea, so that it will have the opportunity to fly over and eat the silkworms.
Sister Bai Xue didn't believe this serious nonsense at first. After all, how could a bird speak human language?
However, when she listened to the cuckoo's call again as Han Cheng said, she always felt that the cuckoo was saying "cuckoo cuckoo, the silkworms' bellies are bursting."
In this way, Bai Xuemei, the child bride, was fooled by Han Cheng, so now whenever she hears the cuckoo call, she will involuntarily put her hands on her stomach, for she is very worried that she will have diarrhea and her silkworms will be eaten by the bird.
However, after experiencing such things many times, they gradually became indifferent. Later, when she heard the cuckoo's call, she would not only not be worried, but would be quite proud, because no matter how the cuckoo called, she would not have diarrhea.
At the same time, I gradually understood a truth, that is, you will be like this no matter what others say about you, and a big part of it depends on yourself.
For example, a cuckoo will not give itself diarrhea by its call, but if it gets an upset stomach from eating, that won't work.
This can be considered a relatively simple form of materialism.
"Sister, sister, sister..."
Little Pea was lying next to a cradle, repeating himself like a tape recorder.
While shouting, she would wave a small branch of flowers in her hand in front of Han Xing who was lying in the cradle.
The little baby lying in the cradle laughed with his toothless mouth, and when he laughed so happily, his little fists and feet would kick around randomly.
Seeing Xiao Xing'er so happy, Little Pea, who was lying beside the cradle, also laughed happily, then called her sister even louder and kept shaking the branch in her hand.
Sister Bai Xue, who was feeding some mulberry leaves to the silkworms there, turned her head and looked over here for a while, and a smile appeared on her face...
'#$5^6! '
In the distance, after walking all the way, the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe, with his people and carrying food, finally arrived at the place where the Black Stone Tribe was located.
After seeing the Black Stone Tribe from afar, the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe shouted with joy.
The people following behind her also cheered happily.
They came to the Black Rock Tribe, and under the leadership of the wise leader, they would soon be able to obtain the two tools and then let everyone in the tribe live a comfortable life!
Not far from the Black Rock Tribe's cave, someone was squatting there sharpening tree bark for arrowheads. When he heard the noise here, he and some other people from the Black Rock Tribe who heard the noise looked towards the leaders of the Blue Flower Tribe.
After seeing clearly who was coming, the tree bark squatting there suddenly became excited and stood up from the ground.
Over there, the leader of the Blue Flower tribe, who was leading his people towards here, became excited after seeing Tree Bark in the crowd. He immediately quickened the pace of his people and walked quickly towards Tree Bark.
Looking at the leader of the Blue Flower tribe who was coming towards him with a happy look on his face, Shupi tightly grasped the arrow in his hand and the bow on his back, and then let go.
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe cannot be killed at this time, because there are many people following her. If the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe is killed at this time, those people are likely to fight to the death!
So Shupi released the bow and put the unsharpened arrow in his hand into the quiver.
Not only that, when the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe came to him with a happy look on his face, Tree Bark also forced a smile on his face.
People grow up. Changes in the environment and the things they experience will have an impact on a person, prompting him to change.
During the more than one year that Shupi has lived in the Black Rock Tribe, he has learned a lot and changed a lot. Among them, what he has learned the most and understood the most is forbearance.
Especially in winter, when he failed to build a kang and was severely beaten by the leader of the Black Stone Tribe, and then through his own efforts, he gained more and more trust from the leader of the Black Stone Tribe, and Shupi had a deeper understanding of this.
Looking at the tree bark smiling at him, the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe became even happier, and the smile on his face became brighter.
My guess turned out to be correct. This stupid guy had no idea what happened before.
This made her more confident about this trip.
After saying hello to Tree Bark, the leader and people of the Blue Flower Tribe, under the supervision of the Black Stone Tribe, walked some distance towards the cave of the Black Stone Tribe.
He stopped about forty or fifty meters away from the cave entrance. Without being reminded by the Black Rock Tribe, he very consciously put the weapons in his hands on the ground, and then placed the food he was carrying on a relatively flat large rock.
At this time, the leader of the Blackrock tribe walked out of the cave, holding the sharpest Blackrock weapon in the tribe in his hand and the bow with the longest range in the tribe on his back.
He first looked at the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe carefully for a while, matched the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe with the location of the cave where they lived in his mind and confirmed which tribe they were from, then he began to look at the food brought by the people of the Blue Flower Tribe.
The leader of the Black Stone Tribe was quite satisfied with the food brought by the Blue Flower Tribe. Although it was not as much or as good as what the tribes with fish cages and bows and arrows had sent before, it was already pretty good compared to the past. This showed that the Blue Flower Tribe did not cheat.
"#$$￥..."
After examining the foods, the leader of the Black Rock Tribe nodded with satisfaction, spoke for a while, and then pointed in a direction.
The direction he pointed to was the direction from which the Blue Flower Tribe had just come.
The meaning is very clear, that is, the things have been received and you have no use for them anymore, so just go back to where you came from.
Don't think about staying in the Blackrock Tribe for too long, they won't provide you with food.
The leader of the Blackrock Tribe is so straightforward and direct.
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe certainly understood what the leader of the Black Rock Tribe meant. After all, when he delivered food to the Black Rock Tribe before, the leader of the Black Rock Tribe always looked at the food like this.
In the past, after seeing the leader of the Black Rock Tribe make this move, the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe would quickly take his people and leave. She didn't want to stay in the Black Rock Tribe for a moment longer.
But this time it was different. This time she had a purpose. How could she bear to leave before achieving her goal?
After all, she and many people in the tribe had gone hungry for this trip.
“#￥5DE……”
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe danced and gestured, expressing to the leader of the Black Stone Tribe that she did not want to leave.
The leader of the Black Stone Tribe frowned. He was still waiting to enjoy the food sent by the Blue Flower Tribe, but these people were not ready to leave. What did this mean? Did they want their own tribe to provide them with food?
As this thought came to his mind, the leader of the Blackrock Tribe tightened the Blackrock weapon in his hand, ready to fight if there was any disagreement.
The anger of the Black Stone Tribe leader came and went quickly, because the Blue Flower Tribe leader, who had been dancing and talking a lot for a while, took off the animal skin wrapped around his body, revealing his strong chest muscles.
Not only that, she also reached out and grabbed the arm of the Black Rock Tribe leader, pointed to a large patch of dead grass not far away, and then pulled the Black Rock Tribe leader over there.
It is spring now. Although it is still early spring in the Blackrock Tribe, people's bodies can already feel the increasingly strong breath of spring.
Moreover, the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe was quite strong and, according to the general aesthetic standards at that time, he was considered very beautiful.
So when she pulled him like this, the leader of the Blackrock Tribe followed her.
Since the two tribal leaders had done this, the people from the remaining two tribes would certainly not be polite and took action.
Such things may seem uncomfortable to people today, but they are very common in this era. After all, there are only so many people in each tribe. If they don’t get some fresh blood in this way, after a long time, the entire tribe is likely to have big problems and may even disappear.
They may not know the deep-seated reasons behind this, but they are using very good and effective methods to solve this problem.
The leader of the Black Stone Tribe and the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe were the first pair to enter, and they were also the first pair to come out.
It’s just that their states were different when they came out. The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe looked energetic, while the leader of the Black Stone Tribe looked sleepy.
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe glanced around and saw Tree Bark squatting there looking at him. He was delighted and walked towards Tree Bark.
She was a little worried that Shupi and the others had left and it would be difficult for her to find them, but now Shupi was squatting there without moving.
"#￥5E!"
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe came up to Tree Bark, who was squatting on the ground, and said with a smile, extending a hand to him.
Faced with such an invitation from the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe, Tree Bark would certainly not refuse.
He had been thinking about finding an opportunity to kill the person who had allowed the Black Rock tribe to harm their tribe. He thought about it for a long time, but the best solution he came up with was not as good as the current situation.
He immediately reached out and held the hand extended by the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe, stood up from the ground, and walked into the dry grass with the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe.
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe looked at the bow on Tree Bark's back and the quiver hanging around his waist. Then he looked at Tree Bark who was holding his hand and walking inside. The smile on his face became even more intense.
Things went unexpectedly smoothly, better than she had expected. How could she not be happy?
Especially since Tree Bark actually carries such a tool with him.
The leader of the Black Stone tribe saw that the leader of the Blue Flower tribe, who had just crawled into the bushes with him, was now crawling into the bushes with Tree Bark, but he did not think anything of it, because at this moment, he just wanted to take a nap.
"#￥5@3..."
The leader of the Blue Flower tribe and Tree Bark waded through waist-deep dead grass and walked inside. After walking for a while, they saw that they were already quite far away from the others. The leader of the Blue Flower tribe, who couldn't wait to get the two tools, the bow and arrow and the fish cage, from Tree Bark, spoke out, meaning that this was the place.
Bark looked around, shook his head, and pointed deeper into the cave.
Seeing this, the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe smiled again, because she felt that Tree Bark was so thoughtful, as if he knew what she was thinking.
He immediately followed the bark and walked deeper into the weeds.
Shupi was also very happy at this time. He had not expected that the thing he had been thinking about for so long was now really being implemented and it was going unprecedentedly smoothly.
The two very happy people walked forward for a distance hand in hand, and then trampled down a field of weeds.
Shupi took off the bow on his back and the quiver on his waist and put them aside. The leader of the Blue Flower tribe kept looking at these two things with his eyes, his heart burning with excitement.
It won't be long before their tribe will have these things. In this case, she felt that she would be able to learn everything about these two tools from the bark.
"#￥5D%%..."
After some tossing and turning, the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe, lying on the dry grass, began her long-planned plan.
She told Shupi that she wanted to see the bow and arrow and how to use it.
This place is far away from other people, so she can speak without restraint without worrying about being heard by other people in the Blackrock Tribe.
Things turned out just as she had expected. After hearing her request, the not-so-smart Tree Bark took the bow from the side and handed it to her without much hesitation.
The leader of the Blue Flower tribe sat up and took the bow from Shupi. He was extremely excited and clenched his hands tightly.
She finally got such a tool in her hands!
"#45#!"
When the leader of the Blue Flower tribe was holding the bow tightly with an excited look on his face and was unwilling to let go, Shupi pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver and threw the quiver aside with all his strength...
