The gate opened from the inside and two people walked out. Liutou and Maque also came to the gate riding on donkeys.
"Tell the witch about it quickly, Chief."
Liutou urged.
"I've sent someone to call Wu and the others."
The man spoke quickly and reached out to hold the donkey so that Liutou and the other two could get down.
"Plop!"
As soon as the donkey that Liutou was riding stood here, its four legs went limp and it fell directly to the ground. Liutou, who was riding on it, was thrown out and lay on the ground, unable to get up.
This man and another person were shocked and hurt to support Liutou.
"thump!"
Just as he supported Liutou, there was another sound of falling to the ground. It turned out that the sparrow riding on the donkey fell off the donkey's back.
The sparrow originally wanted to get off the donkey's back, but his body was out of control. As soon as he loosened his hands and feet, he fell down.
The two men separated and went to help the sparrow.
Ma Que and Liu Tou, who were helped up, were shaking uncontrollably all over.
The remaining three donkeys also lay down on the ground one after another, unable to get up, tears rolling down their huge eyes.
No one bullies a donkey like this!
This is obviously something that only a horse can do, but now you are forcing a donkey to do it. Isn't this forcing the donkey to do something too much?
The Qingque tribe, which had been asleep, quickly woke up with the return of Sparrow and Liutou.
There were lights on in the room, and a large bonfire was lit on Qingque Square, where many people gathered.
"Don't sleep! Don't sleep! Get up quickly!"
Someone in the room was putting on his clothes and shouting loudly.
"What's wrong?"
Someone was awakened from his sleep and asked in a confused manner, not knowing what had happened.
"The enemy attacked the Tongshan residential area. Liutou and Maque came back overnight to report the news!"
As he spoke, the man had already put on his clothes and walked out quickly.
"What?!"
The man, who had just woken up from sleep and was still a little confused, suddenly became sober after hearing these words and jumped up directly from the kang.
"They don't want to live anymore!"
He yelled loudly and rushed outside. After running a few steps outside, he felt a little cold. He reached out and touched his body. Then he realized that he had forgotten to put on clothes. He hurriedly ran back, grabbed clothes from the kang where he slept, and hurriedly put them on without paying attention to anything else, and rushed outside again...
The entire Qingque tribe, both adults and minors, became angry after hearing the news, and everyone went to the Qingque Square where a huge bonfire was burning.
A lot of people had gathered on the square, including the witch with more than half white hair and the eldest brother who was the leader.
"...Shang asked us to come back and tell everyone what happened. He said that we should use the method that the Son of God used to attack the Bannong tribe and arrest all these people..."
Liutou Maque and the other man were supported by others and stood in front of Wu and the eldest senior brother, talking about the situation over there.
After hearing that Shang sent people back in order to capture all the enemies who attacked the tribe, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When they first heard the news, they thought that the Tongshan residential area could not withstand the enemy's attack, and that Liutou Maque and the other man had come back to ask for help.
However, as soon as this sigh of relief was let out, it was immediately filled with new anger.
These people actually dared to attack their tribe and trampled on their crops. This is truly unforgivable!
Not only the eldest brother was angry, but even the white-haired wizard was extremely angry. If those people were right in front of him, he would definitely pick up stones and throw them at them.
"Beat them! We must beat them! Kill some of them and capture the rest as slaves!"
Although the witch is old, his temper is still as tough as ever, especially when it comes to matters involving the safety and interests of their tribe.
Without waiting for anyone else to speak, the witch was the first to shout out these words, which were also the voice of everyone in the Qingque tribe.
"Don't sleep tonight! Pack up your weapons and food overnight and leave!
Otherwise, if you go too late, those people will run away!"
After the witch finished speaking, he issued an order, as quick and decisive as ever, which was very typical of primitive people.
The existence of the Bronze Highway ensures that the people in the tribe will not get lost even if they travel to the Copper Mountain residential area at night. The rattan armor, rattan shields, bows and arrows, long spears, groups of dogs, and sufficient manpower allow the people in the tribe to ignore the ferocious beasts.
Once humans learned to use tools and united in large numbers, even the most powerful beasts would have to retreat, otherwise they would become food for this terrible omnivorous species, humans.
"Yes! Let's prepare now! Don't let any of them escape!"
After hearing the witch's words, all the people from the Qingque tribe who had gathered together responded loudly.
The eldest senior brother gathered together those who regularly participated in training and selected more than half of them, a total of 180 people.
These people will become the main force in this encirclement and suppression of the enemy.
Sixty slaves were called up at the same time.
After these people arrived there, they were mainly responsible for digging pits and setting traps, as well as tying up the enemies with ropes to keep them there.
After arranging the personnel, everyone immediately took action. Those who were going to the expedition prepared weapons, while those who were not going to the expedition took the time to prepare food for the expedition as quickly as possible.
At the same time, ropes, hoes, and shovels must also be prepared.
After Wu finished explaining these things, he immediately had people carry Ma Que and Liu Tou into the house to let them rest.
The inner thighs of both of them had been rubbed bloody from riding on donkeys for so long that they were almost exhausted.
But at this moment he didn't want to lie on the kang, but wanted to follow his eldest brother and others to arrest those who dared to attack the Tongshan residential area.
"You two did a great job this time. You have completed your mission very well. Leave the rest to us! Don't worry, we will definitely catch all the enemies and not let any of them escape!"
The eldest senior brother spoke very seriously to Sparrow and Liutou.
After hearing what the eldest brother said, the two men stopped talking and just told the eldest brother and the others to catch those people.
The eldest brother and several other people in the room who were about to go to the battle lightly vigorously.
Then go out and organize the weapons.
At this time, someone came over with the cooked meat porridge.
This was what the witch immediately asked the Taoist to cook after seeing the appearance of Liutou and Maque again, specially for the two of them to eat.
Wu took a bowl of porridge from one of the men and fed it to the sparrow himself.
The sparrow is not very old, having just reached adulthood, and there is still some childishness on its face.
But what he and Liutou did today was admired by even the strong men in the tribe.
Wu looked at the legs of Sparrow and Liutou that were worn beyond recognition, then looked at their determined faces, and felt warm in his heart.
These are the young people of their Qingque tribe, these are the next generation of their Qingque tribe. With such people, their tribe will surely develop better and better!
"Good kids, you are all good kids!"
After Wu fed Sparrow and Liutou a few spoonfuls of meat porridge, he patted their shoulders gently with his rough hands and said.
The two who had endured all kinds of hardships all the way back and didn't think anything of it, couldn't help but shed tears at this moment...
After each of them drank three bowls of meat porridge, they washed their hands clean. At this time, someone came over with boiled willow branch water to clean their thighs that were rubbed into a state of disarray.
After cleaning, I told them not to wear pants and not to put their legs together when sleeping at night, otherwise they would suffer the next day.
Wait until the wound has scabbed over before doing these things.
"Witch, those donkeys won't get up."
Someone came over and said this to Wu.
The donkeys were lying outside the courtyard gate, blocking half of the gate.
"Let them lie there, and cover them with skins, and give them warm water with salt, and good grass."
Wu explained.
These donkeys have made great contributions to the tribe this time and must be treated well.
After hearing the witch's words, the man went out to do this thing.
Inside the Qingque tribe, where many lights were lit, everyone was constantly busy. As everyone continued to move, the things needed for the expedition were quickly sorted out.
Among these, ropes such as hemp ropes and leather ropes are particularly common.
I heard from Liutou and Maque that there are a lot of people this time, almost three or four hundred people, so it would be impossible not to bring enough ropes and other things.
Pots of prepared food were carried out for the people who were going to the battle to eat, so that they would have enough energy to continue their journey.
After a busy period, everyone who was ready gathered in the Qingque Tribe Square.
"Set off!"
The eldest brother raised the Green Bird flag in his hand high and shouted.
Then the armed warriors of the Green Bird tribe followed the eldest brother and walked outside.
The sixty slaves also led the deer and carried hoes and shovels and other tools and followed them.
"Wu! You guys go back and protect the tribe. We will be back in a few days!"
The eldest brother led his men out for a while, stepped onto the Bronze Highway, turned his head and looked at Wu and others who were seeing them off at the tribal gate and shouted.
"Guard the tribe! We will be back in a few days!"
The others also shouted loudly.
They have the confidence to say such things.
The Qingque tribe today is no longer the tribe that couldn't even defeat the second leader of the Tengshe tribe.
Hearing the rumbling shouts, the witch smiled in the light of the fire. He waved to the eldest brother and others who were leaving, and said to the people who stayed in the tribe: "Let's go back and guard the tribe and wait for the leader to come back!"
Then he returned to the tribe first.
The rest of the people also followed back to the tribe and locked the door tightly from the inside.
The witch arranged for more people to patrol the wall than before.
Then let the rest go back to sleep.
He himself did not sleep, but waited until most people in the tribe had settled down, then put on a cloak and slowly patrolled the tribe, mainly to check whether the gate was locked and whether the fire that had been lit not long ago was completely extinguished.
The Son of God led his men to the south to find a retreat for the tribe and has not returned yet. The eldest brother, as the leader, is now leading many adults to go out overnight to attack those who dared to invade their tribe.
Now, he is the biggest in the tribe.
He was old, and could not lead his people to a faraway place to find a place suitable for the tribe to survive like the Son of God, nor could he lead his people to attack the invading enemy overnight like his eldest brother.
He could only try his best to lead the remaining people to defend their main tribe firmly without any mistakes.
Yuan didn't sleep either. She stayed by Wu's side and did these things with him.
As a former priestess of a semi-agricultural tribe, she could better understand the witch's feelings at the moment. It was precisely because of this that she had even greater respect for the witch.
It turns out that this guy who often begs for mercy from me is such a responsible person at critical moments.
The decisiveness of Wu's order to attack the invading enemy at night made her heart beat fast...
After the crescent moon moved to the west for a while, it gradually disappeared in the sky. I wonder if it was frightened by the murderous aura and hid behind the clouds and dared not show its head.
A dozen torches were lit in the marching team to provide continued illumination. Under the illumination of the torches and guided by the Green Bird flags, everyone continued to move forward along the Bronze Highway.
No one felt tired, no one felt bitter, and no one felt afraid.
All they knew was that their tribe was being attacked by the enemy and their fields were being trampled by the enemy. They just wanted to rush over and use the weapons in their hands to tell these people what the consequences would be for provoking the Qingque tribe.
Moreover, it is now the spring ploughing season. If the ploughing is delayed, the grain production in the tribe will be reduced.
So we need to hurry up and quickly deal with these people, and then go back to continue growing crops.
They don't have much time to play with these guys.
As everyone kept walking, time passed quietly and the morning star rose in the east.
After the darkest moment before dawn, the sky gradually began to brighten.
When the day just dawns, the boundary between heaven and earth is most obvious. The sky is relatively bright, while the earth is still immersed in darkness and has not woken up. It takes a while before the light in the sky and on the ground becomes the same.
Dew fell, and the fluttering Green Bird flags became heavy and no longer flew in the wind. The people walking around were also covered in moisture, and many people had tiny dewdrops on their hair.
The group did not stop and continued to move forward along the Bronze Highway. They did not rest until they arrived at Tongfu Inn at noon.
It was not the first time that the people of the Qingque tribe went out on a march. After arriving at Tongfu Inn, they basically did not follow the eldest brother's instructions. They just started to act, fetching water, making fire and cooking, and feeding the deer and donkeys with the grass they carried.
Some people were doing these things, while others were resting under the instructions of the eldest brother.
Some people sat here to catch their breath, some rubbed their swollen legs and feet, and some who were very sleepy had already fallen asleep leaning against the wall.
When it is the next break, these people will be rotated and those who are on break will be responsible for things like cooking next time.
After eating, they stopped here for a while, and then they set off again under the leadership of the eldest brother, along the Bronze Highway, heading towards the Tongshan residential area...
In the millet field outside the Tongshan residential area, the well-fed leader of the Black Stone tribe was squatting beside a fire. He put a few tree sticks around him into the fire, burned one end with fire, and then took it out to grind it on the stone beside him.
He is making feather arrows, and he learned the technique from tree bark.
He was not the only one making feather arrows. After dinner today, many people were making feather arrows.
It is impossible not to make feather arrows, because yesterday, guided by the great victory, they shot all the feather arrows in their hands.
On the edge of that strange cave, there were many feather arrows that they shot yesterday. Originally, the leader of the Blackrock Tribe wanted to send some people to go and get those fallen feather arrows back and continue to use them. But today, he found out that those fallen feather arrows had been burned by those damn despicable guys at some point!
This made the leader of the Blackrock tribe so angry that he jumped to his feet.
If the walls of the Green Bird tribe had not been too high and he had not been unable to break through, given his explosive temper, he would have taken out his Black Stone weapons to teach these despicable guys a lesson and let them know what loyalty and honesty are.
"￥%6..."
The leader of the Black Stone Tribe was sharpening the arrow shafts while muttering something to express his strong indignation at the shamelessness of the Green Bird Tribe.
There are people who are even more uncomfortable than the leader of the Black Rock Tribe. They are the leader of the Grass Tribe and others who are responsible for shooting birds with bows and arrows to obtain bird feathers for tying onto feather arrows.
When they first took on this task, the leader of the Grass Tribe and others were very happy. They thought that bird shooting was a good job as they could not only get feathers but also some meat.
But when they really started doing it, they realized the difficulties involved.
It’s not because their archery skills are too bad, nor is it because the birds here are too cunning and can avoid them in various ways, but because there are not many birds around this tribe!
The leader of the Grass Tribe really wanted to ask how brutal these guys from the Green Bird Tribe were to be able to do this.
Is what you are doing something that a human being can do?
While the leaders of the Blackrock Tribe and the Grass Tribe were complaining wildly, those tribes that did not know how to make feather arrows were not idle either. They were using the weapons of the Blackrock Tribe to cut down trees, and then following the methods of the leaders of the Blackrock Tribe, they turned the cut wood into rough planks.
What happened yesterday made them realize that just using tree bark to block the way forward would not be enough to stop the terrifying feather arrows of the Green Bird Tribe.
Only this rough and heavy wooden board could protect them from being shot by the sharp feather arrows, allowing them to live to the last moment and live the wonderful life of the Qingque tribe...
After working for a while and making several feather arrows, the leader of the Black Rock tribe picked up several other feather arrows beside him.
These feather arrows they picked up were from the Qingque tribe.
The leader of the Black Rock tribe touched the yellow-looking thing at the tip of the feather arrow with his black fingers. He applied a little force and the sharp tip pricked his fingers, causing some pain.
He picked it up and looked at it carefully, with some surprise in his eyes.
The strange-looking feather arrow in front of him gave him great inspiration.
If he could make the black stone of his tribe into this, and then install it on the arrowhead, the power would be...
Just thinking about the hardness of the Blackrock weapons, the leader of the Blackrock tribe had to give up this beautiful plan.
This made him look a little unhappy.
However, when his eyes fell on the feather arrows being polished around him and the rough wooden boards being made one after another, his mood became good again.
It won't take long before they can conquer this tribe, and by then everything here will become theirs.
These feather arrows, which looked very good, would also become theirs, just like when they conquered the tribe where Tree Bark lived, and then turned the bows and arrows and fish cages of Tree Bark's tribe into their own tribe.
On the wall of Tongshan residential area, only a quarter of the people were guarding it at this time. The rest were either resting or busy with other things. The enemies didn't seem to have any intention of attacking them, so naturally they all stayed on guard on the wall.
Influenced by Shang, the people in the Tongshan residential area were very happy that the enemies did not come to attack them.
Otherwise, they would have to play with these people...
The sun slid across the sky and gradually set in the west. As time passed, it was time for the setting sun to fall again.
The leader of the Black Stone Tribe stood here and looked over at the Green Bird Tribe not far away. He could see human figures moving around above.
He did not lead his men to attack the Qingque tribe as he did yesterday, because he wanted to store more feather arrows and rough wooden boards, and also let his men have a good rest so that they could attack the tribe in one fell swoop tomorrow.
The sky gradually darkened, and a bonfire was burning where the Black Stone Alliance was, and everyone was eating around the fire.
The mood of the crowd was particularly high, not only because the leader of the Blackrock tribe seemed particularly generous today and took out a lot of food they brought with them for to eat, but also an important reason was that after a day of non-stop work, they had already made a lot of feather arrows and everyone rough wooden boards.
Yesterday, they had far fewer arrows and wooden boards than they do now, but they were still able to defeat the Green Bird Tribe like that. Now that they have so many arrows and wooden boards, they will definitely be able to defeat the Green Bird Tribe tomorrow!
This is something that every one of them firmly believes.
In such a good mood, they began to fall asleep after eating and drinking, and some people even woke up laughing in their sleep...
"Set off!"
At dusk, at the Longmen Inn not far from Wild Duck Lake, the eldest brother shouted loudly, and then led everyone who had eaten and rested for a while, along the Bronze Highway, heading west...
