"Come, eat!"
Under the arrangement of the eldest brother, after the people of the Green Bird tribe had eaten and drunk their fill, they began to cook for these new slaves who had undergone a transformation.
The rice is not a very good meal. It is just water added to a big pot, and some shelled millet is put into it to boil. When it is almost ready to be served, a large amount of chopped wild vegetables is poured into it, and two handfuls of salt are sprinkled on. It is stirred vigorously with a long-handled spoon, and then the vegetable porridge is served.
More than twenty people began to untie the ropes on these people's hands, and others began to serve them food.
The leader of the Grass Tribe soon received a bowl of such food.
Holding the slightly hot bowl, the leader of the Grass Tribe did not eat the delicious smelling food right away, but kept looking at the exquisite thing in his hand.
Some legends about the Qingque tribe that I had heard recently also came to my mind.
"That tribe has pottery that can be made into all kinds of exquisite things. The big ones can be used to cook food, and the small ones can be used to store food or water. It's very convenient..."
This is roughly the meaning. The leader of the Grass Tribe didn't seem to understand it before, because she had never seen pottery and couldn't imagine what pottery looked like.
But now, when she held this thing in her hands, she suddenly understood what pottery was and understood the benefits of it.
This is really a good thing. Not only does it look great, but it is also very easy to use.
While the leader of the Grass Tribe was holding the hot bowl and looking at it, many people nearby were already slurping up this strange food.
This includes people from their tribe.
The leader of the Grass Tribe felt a little dissatisfied with this, because in the past, she was the first one to eat food in the tribe. But now, some guys in the tribe had already started eating before she even started.
She was somewhat dissatisfied and wanted to scold them, but when she thought that she and others had been captured by the Qingque tribe and that this was no longer their tribe, she suppressed the idea.
She awkwardly buried her head in the bowl and took a sip with great force. Because she used too much force, more food went into her mouth.
The vegetable porridge on the surface was a little cold, but the porridge underneath was still hot, so after the Green Bird tribe took the first bite of porridge, the leader of the Grass tribe was immediately scalded.
After washing today, their faces looked much cleaner, and they were twitching from the burns, but the leader of the Grass Tribe was reluctant to spit out the food. On the one hand, it was because most people of this era cherished food very much, and on the other hand, the food that the people of the Green Bird Tribe gave them was simply too delicious!
This was a feeling she had never experienced before, and it made her whole nerves leap with excitement.
It was at this time that she began to understand why the people in her tribe couldn't help but twitch their faces when eating these foods.
This level of scalding obviously could not stop the Grass Tribe leader from pursuing delicious food. She swallowed the food in her mouth, took two deep breaths, and then impatiently buried her head in the bowl again.
However, after the recent experience and lessons, the leader of the Grass Tribe learned his lesson this time.
She didn't use so much strength again, and this time the porridge on the surface was what she ate the most.
The vegetable porridge with added salt is no longer hot and tastes even better.
The leader of the Grass Tribe even forgot to think about where he was and what had happened before.
At this moment, she just wanted to indulge in this taste enjoyment that she had never experienced before.
The Grass Tribe leader kept eating until she buried her entire face in the bowl, but was forced to stop because her face was too big and the bowl was too small, so she still couldn't eat the remaining food.
Looking at the delicious food in the bowl that he couldn't eat, the leader of the Grass Tribe seemed very anxious.
It was only now that she noticed the two small wooden sticks that those people had given her not long ago.
She thought about it, took the small wooden stick in her hand, inserted it into the food in the bowl and picked it up. As a result, only a small amount of food stuck to the stick.
After the leader of the Grass Tribe ate some of the food on the sticks, he threw the two mysterious little sticks away, ready to dig them up and eat them.
"Look here!"
Someone from the Qingque tribe spoke loudly over there.
Although no one could understand what the people of the Qingque tribe were saying, no one dared to ignore the voices of the Qingque tribe at this time.
Even if you don't understand, you should try hard to listen.
The leader of the Grass Tribe who wanted to dig was no exception.
Seeing many people looking at him, the man from the Green Bird tribe put the bowl in his hand to his mouth, then raised the bowl which was not filled with too much rice, and used the chopsticks in his right hand to put into the bowl to scoop up the rice.
After seeing the demonstration of the man from the Green Bird Tribe, the leader of the Grass Tribe suddenly realized something.
It turns out that this is how these two small sticks are used. When eating the food in the pottery, one does not eat directly from the bowl, but brings the edge of the bowl to one's mouth.
The leader of the Grass Tribe followed the example of the man from the Green Bird Tribe. After trying it, she immediately realized the benefits of eating in this way. The food that she had been unable to suck out of her mouth just now now appeared in her mouth all at once.
Except for the two sticks being inconvenient to use, there is nothing wrong with it...
The red sun was blocked by the high wall. Not long after, the sky gradually darkened. The leader of the Grass Tribe looked at the high wall and the people walking back and forth in the strange cave enclosed by the high wall. Most of his mind was immersed in the deliciousness of the food.
She carefully savored the wonderful taste, then reached out to touch her slightly bloated belly, her heart filled with shock.
On the one hand, it was because of the wonderful taste of the food, and on the other hand, it was because of the generosity and wealth of the Qingque tribe.
They were prisoners of war after their attack on the Green Bird Tribe was defeated, but the people of this tribe were willing to let them eat such delicious food, the kind that could make people feel full.
Such things really shocked the Grass Tribe.
In this era, the standard for measuring a tribe's wealth is the amount of food it has.
The behavior of the Green Bird Tribe just now was undoubtedly a sign of extreme wealth in the eyes of the leader of the Grass Tribe and other new slaves of the Green Bird Tribe.
It was more shocking than if Tree Bark and the former people of the Tree Bark tribe had told them many times how rich the Green Bird tribe was.
If we can eat such food as today in the future, it seems that it is not impossible to live in the Green Bird Tribe.
No! They don't have to eat this kind of food every day. They are satisfied with eating this kind of food once every few days.
Unconsciously, these people's attitudes have changed a lot.
From the previous anxiety, life here seems to be pretty good now...
As dusk falls and the moon rises, the hazy moonlight shines on the earth and also on the Tongshan residential area.
The leader of the Grass Tribe was lying on a pile of soft hay, with some hay also covering his body.
Beside her, people from her tribe were sleeping.
Like the other captured tribes, the Grass Tribe also subconsciously gathered together, whether sleeping during the day or at night.
Compared with the daytime, the distinctions between the tribes become more obvious at night when people sleep.
The leader of the Grass Tribe was not asleep yet. She was lying on the haystack, looking at the shining moon in the night sky with her eyes open.
It was so quiet all around, so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.
In this silence, an idea quietly emerged in the mind of the leader of the Grass Tribe, and it was getting stronger and stronger.
The idea was to take advantage of this opportunity to quietly run away with his people and return to his tribe.
At this time, the ropes on their hands and feet had been untied.
There was no one watching them, so it seemed very easy for them to escape quietly.
After thinking about this for a while, the leader of the Grass Tribe couldn't help but turned over quietly.
The noise caused by turning over made the leader of the Grass Tribe's heart skip a beat.
At the same time, her eyes fell on the sparse semicircular row of branches not far away.
It was evening when the people of the Green Bird Tribe inserted things that were connected to the stone walls around them, encircling them.
Such sparse branches naturally cannot stop people. As long as you are willing, you can pull them up without much effort.
But the leader of the Grass Tribe hesitated for a long time and did not dare to stand up and do so, because the impression left on her by the Green Bird Tribe was too deep.
Just today, she saw with her own eyes how this tribe, which now seemed very peaceful, beat them all violently.
Moreover, it was night time and they were very far away from their own tribe. Even the leader of the Grass Tribe could hardly remember how to get back to his tribe.
After all, when they came here, they just followed the tree bark and didn't remember the way at all. They thought they could just follow the tree bark back when the time came.
As a result, now the bark is dead...
The moon moved slowly in the sky, the night grew darker, and the surroundings became quieter.
The leader of the Grass Tribe, who had been pondering over the matter, had not taken any action.
“Huh~”
She let out a long breath, put the thought behind her and went to sleep, and immediately felt relaxed all over.
If I don't think about how to escape, I can only stay in the Qingque tribe as a slave. But, it's really easy not to think about this matter...
The eldest brother, who had quietly opened the window a little, stared outside and yawned.
He was both relieved and disappointed that no one escaped. After all, he had prepared to take this opportunity to catch two people who attempted to escape and kill them in public, as a warning to these new slaves.
This move was also learned from his somewhat wretched looking Son of God.
That’s what the Son of God did in the beginning.
After yawning, the eldest senior brother looked outside a few more times, then gently woke Shang up, letting Shang watch over him while he began to sleep...
The next day, something happened that frightened the leaders of the Grass Tribe.
After eating that delicious food again, these captives were dragged out one by one by the man who looked like the leader.
Those who were pulled stood in one place, and those who were not pulled stood in their original places.
Such strange behavior certainly made them feel frightened, and some people even thought that they were going to be killed and eaten.
The leader of the Grass Tribe did not have such worries, because yesterday, the people of the tribe burned all the people who were killed.
If they didn't eat them then, they certainly wouldn't choose to kill them and eat their meat now.
Although she figured this out, the Grass Tribe leader was no less frightened than the others because she discovered something even more terrifying.
All the captured tribes were broken up after being manipulated by this leader-like person.
No one from any tribe was completely pulled out by the leader of the Qingque tribe.
There were as many people from her tribe left behind as there were fingers on one of her hands.
The eldest brother didn't care what these people thought. He ordered his men to tie up the hands of all the people he had pulled out, and then tied them into several bunches with several long ropes.
These people would be taken back to the Qingque main tribe later, and the remaining forty slaves would stay in the Tongshan residential area, where they would live and work.
Separating up new members of the tribe is something that the Qingque tribe has always done. As early as when Shang and other people from the original Pig Tribe joined the tribe, Han Cheng consciously separated them to a certain extent, such as mixing hands with the elders of the Qingque tribe when working.
Later, when the tribe had houses, Han Cheng's division became more obvious.
For the eldest brother who is learning from the Son of God in every aspect, he will of course inherit and develop this method.
It is very easy to split these different tribes because people from different tribes will be gathered together, making it easy to tell which people belong to the same tribe.
"We're going back, and we have to plant millet quickly..."
After separating these people and tying them all up, the eldest brother holding the weapon spoke to Shang and the people living in Tongshan.
"You did a good job this time. If something like this happens again, I will do the same thing again."
As the eldest brother said this, he pointed to the seven or eight donkeys tied over there.
The people in the Tongshan residential area smiled knowingly and nodded vigorously.
The eldest brother and his companions did not stay for too long. After talking for a few more words, they opened the Green Bird Flag, left the Tongshan residential area holding the Green Bird Flag, walked onto the Bronze Highway, and headed east along the Bronze Highway.
The leader of the Grass Tribe kept looking back at the tribesmen who were left behind in the Tongshan residential area. He really wanted to call them up, or take these people with him to stay with them.
But she didn't dare to do such a thing. She could only follow the people of the Qingque tribe, looking back every few steps, along this strange land, towards an unknown place.
The few people who were left behind felt even more fearful as they watched their fellow tribesmen gradually go away.
They all wanted to follow the main group, and some even took action. However, as soon as they took a step, they were pushed by people from the Green Bird tribe.
Faced with these people from the Qingque tribe, they did not dare to take any other action. They could only watch in fear as the large army was taken away by those people from the Qingque tribe, moving farther and farther away from them.
They became a minority and were left here, not knowing where the people from their tribe would be taken and whether they would ever see them again.
Some people even shed tears because of this.
On the one hand it's because of reluctance, on the other hand it's because of fear.
However, Shang and other people who stayed in the Tongshan residential area did not give them much time to express these emotions.
After the group of people including the eldest senior brother disappeared from sight, Shang began to make arrangements for those who stayed behind according to the method discussed with the eldest senior brother.
There were a total of fifty completely tamed old slaves in the Tongshan residential area, so Shang asked each of them to bring a new slave.
Twenty of them were two people with one new slave.
These old slaves were responsible for teaching the new slaves Mandarin and teaching them to abide by some rules of the Qingque tribe.
At the same time, we also need to teach them how to do work, such as digging the ground.
And also to prevent these new slaves from escaping.
At the same time, the sleeping areas were re-divided so that an old slave and the new slave he brought with him slept on the same kang around the clock.
After dividing them into groups, Shang told them clearly that if anyone's new slaves ran away, he would never be able to become a citizen of the tribe again.
Not having the chance to escape from their slave status and become citizens of the Qingque tribe was the most desperate punishment for the slaves of the Qingque tribe. They had originally planned to keep a close eye on these new slaves, but after hearing Shang's words, they all made up their minds not to let these new guys run away no matter what.
In the days that followed, these old slaves of the Qingque tribe truly ate, lived, and worked together with the new slaves they brought with them, and they even went to the toilet together.
These new slaves originally lived in a tribe that was far away from the Tongshan residential area. Most of the people who were captured with them were also taken away. They felt even more helpless and panicked. After being treated like this by the eldest brother and his men, it was even more impossible for them to escape.
Moreover, under the leadership of the old slaves of the Qingque tribe, each of them was quickly adapting to the life of the Qingque tribe, and the progress was very fast...
In the fields, Shang and the citizens of Tongshan residential area all had smiles on their faces when they saw the new slaves, led by the old slaves, carrying hoes and digging the fields that they had trampled down.
When they first discovered that these guys were living and resting in the tribe's fields, they made up their minds to have them dig the land for the tribe. Now, through their joint efforts, this has been achieved...
In the Qingque tribe, the witch standing at the gate looked at the eldest brother and his friends who had returned victoriously, his face full of smiles.
Especially after learning that in this expedition, because of the various means used by the tribe, only a few people who participated in the battle were slightly injured and no one was in danger of life, the smile on the witch's face became even brighter.
Looking at the new slaves who were brought back tied into long strings, the wrinkles on Wu's face were big enough to kill a fly.
That wonderful feeling was comparable to the time when Han Cheng brought Uncle Lu and the others back from Yanshan.
"Good! You did a great job!"
The witch loudly praised those who returned from the expedition, and those who stayed in the main tribe also looked at these great heroes of the tribe who had returned from the expedition, successfully defended the tribe, and killed or captured all the enemies with respect.
Under Han Cheng's deliberate guidance, the people in the tribe were extremely enthusiastic about resisting foreign humiliation, and they also had great respect for those who resisted foreign humiliation.
At this time, many minors in the tribe had bright eyes when they saw the eldest brother and his team returning triumphantly.
This kind of glory won with the weapons in their hands, as well as their own courage and wisdom, makes them excited and yearn for it.
Some seeds that were originally buried in people's hearts have been accelerated to grow after experiencing today's events, and have even begun to take root and sprout in the hearts of some people.
Compared to the happiness of the people of the Green Bird tribe headed by Wu, the shock in the hearts of the leaders of the Grass tribe and others who were brought back was already beyond words.
On the way back, they followed the people from the Qingque tribe and saw two caves that looked very strange to them, but were very spacious and comfortable to live in.
The leader of the Grass Tribe, as well as many of the people who were traveling with him, thought that was where they would stay permanently. As a result, these people only stayed there for one night before setting off again, continuing to walk along that strange land.
Just when they were curious about where they would be taken by the people from the Qingque tribe, they saw a scene that they would never forget!
Before coming here, they thought that the Tongshan residential area they had seen was the largest and most amazing cave.
But after seeing the cave before him, the leader of the Grass Tribe realized how wrong his previous thoughts were!
The cave before her was completely beyond her understanding, and she didn't know what words to use to describe the scene before her and her feelings at the moment.
In this deep shock, the leader of the Grass Tribe had a thought in his mind: he and his men did not lose out at all in their defeat this time!
(I recommend a similarly primitive book, "The Growth of Primitive Civilization", which already has more than one million words and is quite long. Friends who are short of books can go and have a look.)
