Chapter 152 Where is my ox cart? (Please vote and subscribe)
The moon was at its zenith. When Luo Chong walked alone to the empty city, there were already hundreds of torches lit there. Rourou and Huishan, the two who were not tied up, also went over to join in the fun and circled around Luo Chong. They had been helping to dig the river these days, and Luo Chong was building a house. They hadn't played together for a long time.
In the open space in the city square, Shitou and Youfu stood in the front, with his horned deer next to him, and behind him were his two women holding children. There was also a large group of people behind them, more than 200 people, of which about 50 were members of the You tribe, and the rest were what Youfu called wild people. There were also fifty or sixty Han tribe warriors holding torches around, some of whom had just been called.
"Han leader, I sent the people to you before the moon circled." Youfu saw Luo Chong coming over, first saluted, and then smiled and pointed to the two moons in the sky that had not yet completely intersected.
"Well, you are very punctual, but you don't have to rush so much. You are traveling with women and children in the middle of the night. And I see that you seem to have brought quite a lot of people, more than a hundred."
Luo Chong looked at those people. It was too dark to see what they looked like. They were a group of savages who were on their own, without even a tribe. They were as slovenly as they could be. However, the number of people could still be seen. There were obviously dozens more people. How could you not see that?
"Yes, there are more people. There are also some women and children among them. I feel sorry for them. If I could feed them, I would not send them to you. You also know that our You tribe has no place to live. We go wherever we go. But I think you can feed them, so I sent them here. You won't refuse them, right?" You Fu explained.
"Haha, come if you want. Why would I push them away? Oh, by the way, why did you come here in the middle of the night?" Luo Chong smiled and accepted these extra people, which also made You Fu feel relieved.
"We were not far from here in the evening, so we simply walked for a while at night. When these savages heard that the You tribe wanted them, they also urged us to come over to see them. As a result, we didn't even have food to eat at night, and now we are still hungry." You Fu said with a smile.
Luo Chong cursed in his heart, you are just trying to save yourself a meal.
"Since you haven't eaten yet, don't stay here. Go to the cave. We can accommodate these people there now. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow morning.
Shitou, you go and ask someone to prepare some food for them. These will be our tribesmen in the future, so take care of them." Luo Chong smiled and led You Fu to the cave. When he turned around and arranged things for Dashu, he deliberately emphasized the word "take care of".
"Yes, chief, I understand." Shitou nodded in response, with a look of "I understand" on his face, and then led the group of people to the walled yard in front of the cave.
The group of savages followed behind, and there were warriors lighting torches around them, but the torches could not illuminate the whole picture of the Han tribe. They could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a large area of thatched houses on the west side of the wall, but they were not sure.
When the group entered the wall, the warriors brought some firewood and lit more than a dozen bonfires, which made the inside of the wall brighter. Various things in the Han tribe also appeared in the sight of the savages. There were
dozens of bison in the Han tribe, two elephants snoring on the haystack, and dozens of alpacas, among which several were shivering after Xiaodie cut their hair bald.
There was only one pair of scissors, and Xiaodie didn't know how to use it. She gradually became proficient in it these days, but she couldn't cut the hair of an alpaca in a day, which was pure torture for these alpacas.
The savages were whispering and discussing in a low voice, but they were not surprised, because Youfu had told them about the conditions of the Han tribe when he recruited them, and now they just witnessed it with their own eyes.
After the bonfire was lit, the soldiers brought some earthenware pots and bowls to each fire. Someone else carried two buckets to add water to each pot. The food was the salted meat saved from the winter, cut into small pieces and cooked into soup.
Some people had not had water for a long time, and even asked for water directly with the earthenware bowls.
"Grandma, I saw the leader. Their men all tied their hair on top of their heads. The leader had a shiny thing on his head. There were really a lot of big wild beasts in their tribe, but they were all tied to the ground and didn't run around.
Also, they had a lot of stone basins, both big and small. My sisters and I each had one. Their men also gave us meat to eat, and cooked it the same way as we did.
If their leader did this, he wouldn't chase us away." The older girl among the women brought by You Fu near Yashan said that her younger sisters were originally sleepy, but now they were no longer sleepy when they smelled the cooking meat.
"There are so many good things in their tribe, and they gave us food. They probably won't chase us away. We have come to a good tribe. Tell the sisters to be good and don't run around and make a fuss. It would be bad if we upset the leader." The blind middle-aged woman advised.
"Well, the sisters are all very good. They are waiting to eat meat." The little girl said as she looked at the sisters holding bowls and staring at the pottery pot with their mouths drooling.
"That's good, that's good."
On the other side, Luo Chong and You Fu also sat by the fire, eating barbecue sprinkled with chili.
You Fu was grilling meat while looking around, as if looking for something.
"Han leader, where is the ox cart? Why can't I see it here?"
"Oh, the ox cart, I sent it out to transport things. Our Han tribe now only has one such ox cart. I can't keep it unused if you don't come." Luo Chong sprinkled chili on the barbecue and said.
"But you promised to give us the ox cart..."
"If you are in a hurry, the ox cart will be back in three or four days. If you are not in a hurry, I can ask the tribesmen to make you a new one. But no matter which one you choose, I can give you an ox cart before Huanyue. I am not lying to you." Luo Chong interrupted You Fu and said.
"Well, I'm early, but in this case, I want a new one, but it has to be the same as the previous one."
"That's no problem. What I promised you is the same. I will keep my word. So, in the next few days, will you stay in our tribe, or go out and come back?" Luo Chong nodded and agreed.
"Let's stay in the Han tribe first. Our people have been walking for a long time, and they need a few days to rest. But we will prepare food ourselves, and we can't eat you for free for a few days."
"Well, in this case, you should have a good rest first. Tomorrow I will let them build you a bullock cart.
