While Shang and his companions were eating on top of the wall, the leaders of the Blackrock tribe were also eating.
Compared to the steaming hot food eaten by Shang and other people from the Green Bird Tribe, the food eaten by the leaders of the Black Stone Tribe was much simpler.
"¥%6#!"
Some tribes were running out of food, and someone gave a suggestion - go to the edge of that strange and terrifying tribe and bring back some of the people who died there today.
After this proposal was made, it was not implemented immediately.
This is not because they can't bear to do it, but because if they bring back some dead people, they will need to get closer to that terrible tribe.
After a while, seeing that no one dared to go, the leader of the Black Rock Tribe spoke. His general meaning was that only by eating well could they have the strength to better defeat the tribe.
Having said that, he was reluctant to give them the food that their tribe brought with them. Instead, he asked Shupi to take a few people from the Black Stone Tribe and lead them to do this task with weapons.
He also told everyone that it was already night and the people of that tribe could not see them at the moment.
After understanding what the Blackrock leader meant, Shupi really wanted to jump up, point at the Blackrock leader's nose and scold him harshly.
Shameless guy, why don't you do such a thing?
He thought so, but did not dare to do it. He had to take the Black Stone weapons and go towards the terrifying tribe with some people.
Treebark followed the style of the leader of the Blackrock tribe. He held the rough wooden board firmly in front of his body, and walked at the end of the crowd with several other people from the Blackrock tribe, heading towards the tribe that was crawling there like a giant beast...
After eating more than half of the rice in the bowl, a look of deep joy suddenly appeared on Shang's face, because he remembered how to keep as many of those who invaded the tribe as possible.
"Liutou, Maque, you two should eat quickly and go to bed after dinner."
Shang moved the bowl towards this side and spoke in a slightly raised voice.
The two people whose names he called looked up in surprise and said, "I'm not sleepy. I want to stay here."
One person said this out loud, and another person followed up: "That's right, I'm not sleepy either, I want to stay here too."
"You two come here."
Shang spoke out.
Two people, also holding bowls, came to Shang.
"I have thought of how to catch these people. After you have eaten, go to sleep. I will have someone feed the donkeys and prepare water and food for you. Tomorrow morning, you will ride the donkeys to the main tribe and tell the witch and the leader what happened here. Let the witch and the leader bring people over, go around behind those people, and quietly set traps.
Just like when the Son of God attacked the semi-agricultural tribe…”
When these two people heard Shang tell them his plan, their eyes suddenly lit up and they no longer said they would not go to sleep and would continue to guard the wall.
He quickly emptied the rice in the bowl, put the bowl here, and hurried downstairs to sleep.
"I'll go feed the donkey!"
The person who often took care of the donkey also heard Shang's words and knew what Shang wanted to do. Without Shang's instructions, he took the initiative to ask to do it.
After quickly finishing the rice in the bowl, he hurried downstairs to feed the donkey.
"I'll prepare food for them."
Someone who came up to deliver food heard it and couldn't help it. After saying something, he also went down the wall.
It didn't take long before everyone on the wall and in the tribe knew what Shang was going to do. Those who had been wondering how to capture as many of these people as possible suddenly became excited, their eyes shining like stars in the sky.
This is indeed a good idea!
Especially those who had followed Han Cheng to attack the Bannong tribe were even more excited. When they followed the Son of God, they saw with their own eyes how the Son of God used such method to capture the people of the Bannong tribe.
On that occasion, except for those who died in the battle, all the other people from the semi-agricultural tribe were captured by them.
Shang, who was responsible for ambushing there with his men, captured a lot of people at that time. Later, he even chased a large group of people alone with a long spear in his hand.
Now, if they learn from the Son of God to deal with these people, they will definitely be able to catch many people.
Let those who dare to attack their tribe become slaves of their tribe, farming and mining minerals for their tribe!
Just thinking about such things makes people feel very wonderful, no less than the joy that can be brought by humming primitive tunes.
“Wuwuwu…”
Several dogs that were tied to the wall suddenly started barking outside the wall. Everyone became alert, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and picked up the weapons at hand.
Several people joined Shang in blowing up simple fire sticks to light the grass ball, and then threw it out with force.
Several burning fireballs streaked across the night sky one after another, tearing apart the darkness outside.
With the help of a flash of light, everyone saw what was happening outside.
Some people appeared there, but they did not come directly to their tribe. Instead, they were sneaking around the edge of the battlefield, dragging or carrying the dead bodies on their backs.
"Don't hit them, let them carry it!"
Someone saw that these people actually dared to approach their tribe at night, and immediately became angry. They drew their bows and arrows and were about to shoot at them. When Shang saw this, he quickly spoke out to stop them.
"Don't scare them all away!"
Shang continued.
After hearing Shang say this, those who were originally wondering why Shang did this suddenly came to their senses.
Shang was right, they indeed couldn't fight too hard. If they didn't wait for the main tribe to get the news and rush over, and instead scared these people away, they would suffer a great loss this time.
Then, a knowing laugh was heard from above the wall.
Shang and some other people kept lighting grass balls and throwing them outside so that people on the wall could see clearly what those people were doing and whether they were just carrying the corpses or taking the opportunity to advance towards their tribe.
When the fireball streaked across the sky, tearing apart the darkness outside and exposing Treebark and the others to the light, everyone, including Treebark, who were moving cautiously, were startled.
Some people couldn't help but run away, while Shupi kept cursing the leader of the Blackrock Tribe in his heart.
This is what you mean by not being discovered!
Can you please wait for others to come over here?
Once someone took the lead and ran, the rest of the people could not help but follow suit. Regardless of whether they had found the body or not, everyone immediately started running.
Someone was tripped by a stone while running, and thought he was hit by a terrifying feather arrow. He was so scared that he screamed loudly and struggled desperately.
When the people of the Qingque tribe on the wall saw this scene, they found it funny, but were also worried that these people would really be scared and leave their tribe without looking back. They were very conflicted.
Under such circumstances, Tree Bark, who cherished his life more and more, stopped, turned his head and looked at the wall where fireballs were constantly being thrown with shining eyes, and listened carefully to some words coming from it.
After going on like this for a while, Shuba, with his heart churning, turned around and followed those people. Under the illumination of the thrown fireballs, he ran towards the distance in the dim light.
Of course Shupi was excited, because just now he heard that familiar language!
He had learned this language when he was in the Qingque tribe. The teenager named Shitou was very serious when teaching them this language. If they spoke the language incorrectly, he would hit their palms with a board.
However, because he had only stayed in the Qingque tribe for a few months, he did not master much of this language.
Because this language is too difficult to pronounce and learn.
In addition, he had been away from the Qingque tribe for such a long time and had not been exposed to these languages for a long time, so most of the things he had forced himself to remember before were forgotten.
But this did not prevent him from recognizing that the language he had just heard was Mandarin, because this language is so distinctive.
Each word was very clear, unlike other languages, and just now he heard some words that sounded very familiar.
This tribe is really the Green Bird Tribe!
At this time, Shuba has already confirmed that the tribe in front of him is the Qingque tribe.
If it is not the Qingque Tribe, then why does this tribe have a courtyard that looks very similar to the Qingque Tribe?
Why do they have bows and arrows and slings? Why do they speak a language that only the Green Bird tribe can speak?
As for why the scenery around the Qingque tribe has changed, and even the mountains behind are different from before, Shupi has now come up with a reasonable explanation.
That is, after he left, the people of the Qingque tribe didn't know what happened, so they left their original place, came here, and rebuilt the tribe.
It is rare for tribes to relocate because once they do, it takes a long time to recover.
Not to mention anything else, just finding a cave suitable for tribal life is very difficult.
但青雀部落则完全不同,他们在那个聪明的神子的带领下,能够在平地上修建出适合居住的房屋,比洞穴住着都要舒服。
就比如这个看起来不能逾越的围墙。
事情一定就是这样的,如果不是这样的话,那出现在眼前的这个高大的围墙,以及和青雀部落相似的一切,就没有办法解释了。
傍晚的时候,他跟着黑石部落的首领靠的太靠后,而且当时众人都在乱纷纷的喊叫着,朝着青雀部落猛攻。
随后又在各种惨叫声里,大呼小叫的乱跑,树皮并没有留意到从围墙之上传来的说话与喊叫声。
现在,树皮的一颗心都变得火热了起来,对于黑石部落首领让他和另外的一些人一起过来捡尸体的不满也都消失了。
如果不是他让自己过来捡尸体,自己又怎么能够听到他们说话,怎么能够确认这个部落就是青雀部落?
现在,树皮整个人都彻底的放松下来了,不管黑石部落首领他们能不能把青雀部落给攻打下来,他都不怎么担心了。
当然,他现在最希望看到的,就是黑石部落首领被羽箭射死,然后在黑石部落首领死后,其余人再把青雀部落给攻打下来。
这样他就可以将神子拐走,去愉快的玩耍了。
只要有神子在,树皮觉得自己到时间就能拥有比现在的青雀部落,都更加大的院落。
青雀部落所能拥有的一切,他到时间也都能够拥有。
在其余人都在为青雀部落的一切美好而欢呼不已的时候,自己却拐着最为重要的神子跑了,这事情想要想想,树皮就觉得非常的开心。
一行人摸着黑,朝着黑石部落首领他们所在的火光处匆匆而去。
因为刚刚过去,就被发现了的缘故,他们此去带回来的尸首并不多,只有三个。
这当然是不够吃的。
于是,黑石部落的首领就开始让那些所携带的食物比较多的部落,把他们的食物拿出来一些,给那些食物不够吃的部落食用。
“#¥%@#……”
这样的事情那些部落当人不愿意去做,于是黑石部落的首领就提高了声音,对进行开导一般的劝说。
他的意思就是,只有大家都吃饱了,有力气了才能将青雀部落攻克。
而只要将青雀部落攻破,那么就再也不用担心食物的问题,大家到时候都能吃到各种美味的食物,可以吃到发撑的那种。
这样的话,在没有经历黄昏时的那一场惨败,还会有非常大的说服力,如今,有了傍晚时的那一场令人恐惧的大战之后,许多人心中有了恐惧,对他们能不能攻打下青雀部落,心里已经开始打鼓。
如果不是因为这里距离部落实在太远,而且青雀部落的生活实在是诱人,不少人都想就此回去,不再去招惹那个可怕的部落的。
黑石部落首领见此,把那些不肯拿出食物部落的首领都给打了一顿,然后又带头从他们部落所携带的食物里面拿出来了一些给其余部落的人吃。
有了他的这一顿打,外加带头之后,效果立刻就出来了。
那些挨了打的部落首领,面对这样强势的黑石部落首领,只能选择从心,将他们所携带的食物拿出来一些,给那些食物少的部落食用。
食物下了肚,不饿了之后,众人的胆气似乎也随之增加了不少,没有之前那样慌了。
“¥6#¥E……”
篝火映照之下,黑石部落的首领开始说话,他的声音很大,争取能够让所有人听到他的声音。
在说话的同时,他先后拿起了他的黑石武器,那把长弓,以及用草绳穿起来,可以挂在脖子上,并可以绑在身上,用来抵挡攻击的粗糙木板。
意思是不用怕青雀部落,他们还有黑石武器,还有很多的长弓,还可以用绳子这些,制造出可以抵挡羽箭的东西。
有了这些,再加上他们这么多的人,一定可以将青雀部落攻打下来。
这些部落之间距离的都比较近,语言还是比较相近的。
虽然有不不少地方都不相同,但整体的意思众人基本上还是能够听懂的。
听到黑石部落首领这样说,众人开始有了一些信心。
“¥%#4……”
黑石部落首领还在诉说着,并把草部落和其他的一些拥有弓箭的部落首领叫到他的身边,意思是等到明天了,就让这些拥有弓箭的部落,拿着弓箭去射青雀部落古怪洞穴之上的人,不要再如同昨天那样,乱纷纷的往前冲。
只要他们用弓箭,把青雀部落古怪洞穴之上的人,都给射死,那他们就能轻易的进入到青雀部落之内了。
那些好东西,就都会成为他们的……
具体的计划一出来,众人的信心又增加了许多。
不仅仅那些拥有弓箭的部落,变得有信心起来,那些没有弓箭的部落,信心更是充足。
对于弓箭的可怕程度,他们今天傍晚的时候,可是真真切切的见识到了。
现在,被黑石部落首领这样一提醒,他们这才忽然意识到,自己这边也是拥有弓箭的。
对方可以用弓箭射自己等人,自己等人也一样可以用弓箭射对方啊!
这样惊喜的同时,不少人还都感到了深深的后悔,要是今天傍晚的时候,他们不那样着急,而是先让拥有弓箭的人,朝着青雀部落古怪洞穴之上用箭去射,说不定他们这会儿已经在青雀部落里面睡觉了,更不会死这么多的人……
篝火跳动着,在无边的黑暗之中,撑起一圈的光明。
手里握着黑石武器的黑石部落首领,看着周围陆续睡下的人,脸上有笑容流露。
对于自己能够想出这样的法子,并将心中产生恐惧的众人,都给安抚下来,让他们重新变得有信心,黑石部落首领觉得非常骄傲。
铜山居住区围墙之上,殇还在思索着事情,对于来犯的敌人,他本人的性格一直都是比较刚的,但是现在不一样了。
现在神子、巫、首领他们都没有在自己身边,整个铜山居住区现在就他最大,所有的担子都压在了他身上,让他轻易不敢再如同之前那样的冲动。
按照之前所想的那样,这些来犯的敌人虽然多,只要他们不出部落,在围墙之上守护好,这些人就拿他们没有办法。
再加上之前他想出来的那个计划,这些人全都讨不了好。
但殇觉得还是不够,神子让他在这里镇守,那他就需要将铜山居住区给牢牢的守住才成,不能有半分的闪失。
铜山居住区的围墙,都是用石头垒砌而成的,虽然没有主部落的围墙高大,但是却异常的结实。
有他们在上面守着,这些人肯定翻越不上来,围墙是不用担心的。
殇这样想着,目光慢慢的落在边上的围墙门上。
随着青铜工具的出现,以及跛他们手艺的不断提高,部落围墙的门也进行了更新换代,由之前用结实而又柔韧的栅栏门,改为了用厚厚的木板组成的门。
但木门就是木门,比不上石头围墙结实。
虽然知道有他们在上面守着,就算是有人冲过来接近了木门,也一样突破不进来,但是殇还是觉得不放心。
“你们几个在这里守着,等一会儿了就往下丢一些火球。
你们继续睡觉,等等了起来接替他们在这里着。
你们跟我来。”
坐在这里又想了一阵儿之后,殇开始安排事情。
让一些人继续在这里守着,另外的人在围墙之上睡觉,部落里的奴隶则跟着他从围墙上下去。
没过太久,铜山居住区内部靠近大门的地方,燃烧起了几堆火。
众人拎着镢头、铜锨这些,在围墙的门洞,以及靠近门洞的地方在不断挖土。
等到到了下半夜的时候,一个整体呈现‘凸’字形状的大坑就成型了。
大坑挖好之后,便有人拿着削尖的木棍这些东西跳到大坑之中,进行布置,将这些两头尖的木棍插在木坑之中。
而后开始往上面架东西,最后往上面撒土,并用树棍这些东西,将整陷阱圈出来,防止部落里的人,一个没有留神之后掉进去。
还有人用石灰粉将陷阱之中留下的道路给圈出来。
这留出来的路,是供自己人往外走的。
青雀部落的人知道这是什么意思,那些敌人可不知道这用石灰圈出来的东西额是什么。
看着布置好的陷阱,殇露出了笑容,觉得心里非常的安定。
有了这陷阱存在,就算是围墙的大门真的不小心被这些敌人给攻开了,部落也不会有什么事。
要知道,当初神子使用这招,可是将腾蛇部落的那个看起来就让人发怵的大家伙给坑了,还顺便坑死了腾蛇部落的不少人的。
现在自己学着神子的样子,在这里布置下陷阱,就不信那些人在将大门打开之后,能够躲得过陷阱。
Not only did Shang smile, but all the people who had helped to set up the trap also smiled...
The next morning, just after daybreak, Liutou and Maque, who had gone to bed early the previous night, each led two donkeys and walked carefully along the road circled by lime powder to the gate of the tribe.
Shang opened the door for them personally.
"You should return to the main tribe as soon as possible and tell the witch and the chief about this."
Shang explained, and the two people nodded vigorously to show that they understood.
Shang didn't say anything else. He reached out and patted their shoulders hard, then let them leave.
The two led the donkey out of the Tongshan residential area, stepped on the stones to climb onto the donkey, and ran along the Qingtong Highway. The two people and four donkeys soon disappeared from everyone's sight...
