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.
But the Green Bird tribe is completely different. Under the leadership of the wise Son of God, they are able to build habitable houses on flat ground, which are more comfortable than living in caves.
Like this seemingly insurmountable wall.
This must be the case. If not, then there is no way to explain the tall wall before us and everything that is similar to the Qingque tribe.
In the evening, he and the leader of the Black Stone Tribe leaned too far back, and at that time everyone was shouting and attacking the Green Bird Tribe.
Then, amidst all the screams, everyone ran around shouting and yelling, and Tree Bark did not pay attention to the talking and shouting coming from the top of the wall.
Now, Treebark's heart became hot, and his dissatisfaction with the Blackrock tribe leader who asked him and some other people to come and pick up the corpses disappeared.
If he hadn't asked me to come and pick up the bodies, how could I have heard them talking and how could I have confirmed that this tribe was the Qingque tribe?
Now, Shupi was completely relaxed. He was no longer worried whether the leader of the Black Stone Tribe could defeat the Green Bird Tribe.
Of course, what he most wants to see now is that the leader of the Black Stone Tribe is shot to death by feather arrows, and then after the death of the leader of the Black Stone Tribe, the rest of the people will attack the Green Bird Tribe.
In this way, he could kidnap the Son of God and have fun.
As long as the Son of God is around, Shupi feels that in time he will be able to own a courtyard that is even bigger than the current Qingque tribe.
Everything that the Qingque tribe can have, he will be able to have in time.
While everyone else was cheering for all the good things in the Green Bird Tribe, he abducted the most important Son of God and ran away. Just thinking about this made Shupi feel very happy.
The group groped in the dark and hurried towards the fire where the leader of the Black Rock tribe was.
Because they were discovered just after they arrived, they did not bring back many corpses, only three.
This is certainly not enough to eat.
So, the leader of the Blackrock Tribe began to ask those tribes that carried more food to take out some of their food and give it to those tribes that did not have enough food.
“#¥%@#…”
The people of those tribes were unwilling to do such things, so the leader of the Black Rock Tribe raised his voice and tried to persuade them.
What he meant was that only when everyone was well fed and strong enough could they conquer the Qingque tribe.
As long as we conquer the Green Bird tribe, we won't have to worry about food anymore. Everyone will be able to eat all kinds of delicious food, the kind that makes us full.
In this case, before the tragic defeat at dusk, it would have been very convincing. But now, after the terrifying battle at dusk, many people were afraid and began to worry about whether they could conquer the Qingque tribe.
If it weren't for the fact that this place is too far away from the tribe and the life in the Green Bird tribe is so tempting, many people would want to go back and never provoke that terrible tribe again.
Upon seeing this, the leader of the Black Rock tribe beat up the leaders of those tribes that refused to give out food, and then took the lead in taking out some of the food from their tribe to give to the people of other tribes.
With his beating and his leading the way, the effect was immediate.
Faced with such a powerful Black Rock tribe leader, the tribal leaders who were beaten had no choice but to follow their heart and take out some of the food they carried and give it to those tribes with less food.
After eating the food and no longer feeling hungry, everyone seemed to become braver and no longer as panicked as before.
"¥6#¥E..."
Under the light of the campfire, the leader of the Blackrock Tribe began to speak, his voice was loud, trying to make sure everyone could hear him.
As he spoke, he picked up his Black Stone weapons, the longbow, and a rough wooden board strung with straw ropes that could be hung around his neck and tied to his body to resist attacks.
What this means is that there is no need to be afraid of the Green Bird Tribe. They still have Black Stone weapons, many longbows, and they can also use ropes to make things that can withstand feather arrows.
With these, plus so many of their people, they will definitely be able to defeat the Qingque tribe.
These tribes are relatively close to each other and their languages are relatively similar.
Although there are many differences, everyone can basically understand the overall meaning.
After hearing what the leader of the Blackrock Tribe said, everyone began to gain some confidence.
"¥%#4..."
The leader of the Black Stone Tribe was still speaking, and he called the leaders of the Grass Tribe and some other tribes that had bows and arrows to his side, meaning that tomorrow, these tribes with bows and arrows would use their bows and arrows to shoot the people on the strange cave of the Green Bird Tribe, and not rush forward in a disorderly manner like they did yesterday.
As long as they use bows and arrows to kill all the people in the strange cave of the Qingque tribe, they can easily enter the Qingque tribe.
Those good things will become theirs...
Once the specific plan came out, everyone's confidence increased a lot.
Not only did the tribes with bows and arrows become confident, but those tribes without bows and arrows became even more confident.
This evening, they witnessed firsthand how terrifying bows and arrows were.
Now, after being reminded by the leader of the Blackrock Tribe, they suddenly realized that they also had bows and arrows.
The other party can use bows and arrows to shoot us and others, and we and others can also use bows and arrows to shoot the other party!
While they were so surprised, many people also felt deeply regretful. If they had not been so anxious this evening, but had let those with bows and arrows shoot arrows at the strange cave of the Qingque tribe, maybe they would have been sleeping in the Qingque tribe by now, and so many people would not have died...
The bonfire flickered, providing a circle of light in the boundless darkness.
The leader of the Blackrock tribe, holding a Blackrock weapon in his hand, looked at the people around him who were falling asleep one after another, with a smile on his face.
The leader of the Blackrock Tribe felt very proud that he could come up with such a method and calm down the fearful people and make them confident again.
On the wall of Tongshan residential area, Shang was still thinking about things. He had always been tough towards the invading enemies, but now it was different.
Now that the Son of God, the witch, and the chief are not around him, he is the most important person in the entire Tongshan residential area. All the burdens are on him, making him dare not act impulsively like before.
As we had thought before, even though there were many invading enemies, as long as they did not leave the tribe and stayed on the walls to guard the area, these people would be unable to do anything to them.
Coupled with the plan he had come up with before, these people were in trouble.
But Shang felt that it was still not enough. The Son of God asked him to guard here, so he needed to guard the Tongshan residential area firmly without any mistakes.
The walls of the Tongshan residential area are all made of stones. Although they are not as tall as the walls of the main tribe, they are extremely strong.
With them guarding there, these people will definitely not be able to climb over, so there is no need to worry about the wall.
As Shang thought this, his gaze slowly fell on the gate in the wall next to him.
With the emergence of bronze tools and the continuous improvement of their craftsmanship, the doors of the tribal walls were also updated, from the previous strong and flexible fence doors to doors made of thick wooden boards.
But a wooden door is just a wooden door and is not as strong as a stone wall.
Although he knew that they were guarding it, even if someone rushed to the wooden door, they would not be able to break in, but Shang still felt uneasy.
"You guys stay here and throw some fireballs down after a while.
You guys continue to sleep and take over here when you wake up.
You guys follow me."
After sitting here and thinking for a while, Shang began to arrange things.
He let some people continue to guard here, while others slept on the wall, and the slaves in the tribe followed him down the wall.
Not long after, several fires broke out near the gate inside the Tongshan residential area.
Everyone was holding pickaxes and shovels, digging the soil in the doorway of the wall and near the doorway.
By the second half of the night, a large pit in the shape of a "convex" character was formed.
After the big pit was dug, some people jumped into the pit with sharpened wooden sticks and made arrangements, inserting the pointed sticks into the pit.
Then they began to put things on it, and finally sprinkled soil on it, and used sticks and other things to circle the entire trap to prevent people in the tribe from falling into it if they were not paying attention.
Some people also used lime powder to circle out the path left in the trap.
The road left open is for our own people to leave.
The people of the Green Bird Tribe knew what this meant, but the enemies had no idea what this thing circled with lime was.
Looking at the set trap, Shang smiled and felt very at peace.
With this trap in place, even if the gate of the wall is accidentally breached by these enemies, the tribe will be safe.
You know, when the Son of God used this trick, he trapped the scary-looking big guy from the Teng Snake tribe, and killed many people from the Teng Snake tribe.
Now I am imitating the Son of God and setting a trap here. I don’t believe that those people can escape the trap after opening the door.
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 vigorously showed 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...
(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, fellow readers.)
