Chapter 31 An invitation from Luo Chong (please add to collection and recommend)
Instantly, all the people in the Tree Tribe followed the finger of the tree stump and saw Luo Chong on the mountainside. Luo Chong also heard someone yelling at the stream below the mountain, especially he heard someone calling his name.
When he was communicating with them in the Tree Tribe, Luo Chong taught them the Mandarin pronunciation of his name, so they all used Mandarin when they said Luo Chong's name.
Following the direction of the sound, Luo Chong also saw the Tree Tribe beside the stream on the mountain.
"Why are they here?" Luo Chong wondered.
The 30 pairs of eyes below the mountain met the 19 pairs of eyes on the mountain. After confirming the eye contact, they were all familiar people. Only Wu Da and Ximen, who were not familiar with them, started to yell nonsense, but they were quieted down after Luo Chong hit them with two branches.
Luo Chong looked at the big tree below the mountain and waved to the big tree, asking the big tree and others to come up. He didn't want to run back and forth again, because he still had to mine later.
After more than ten minutes, Dashu finally led a group of people up the hillside. Luo Chong could see their appearance clearly at this time and couldn't help but frowning.
How could it be so miserable? They brought their families and even children with them. They were dirty and not as white as before. They looked like beggars. No, they were even worse than beggars.
Dashu looked tired, but when he saw Luo Chong again, he was shocked. He knew that Luo Chong was looking for an animal with horns, but he didn't expect that he really caught it, and there were so many alive.
If the cannibal tribe riding two Deinonychus gave him the feeling of being unmatched, then Luo Chong's behavior could be regarded as a god. Don't worry about the size of the head. Just say that the number of 2 to 18 is not of the same order of magnitude. What's more, Luo Chong's blue antelope is not small, it is almost the same size as a modern donkey.
Luo Chong saw their embarrassed faces, each holding a wild fruit in his hand. They couldn't even eat meat. He didn't know why they were so miserable. He quickly took out the giant goose and roasted beaver from the big basket carried by a horse antelope and shared them with them. He also gave the stone axe to Mu Tong and asked him to get some firewood and light a fire to keep warm.
Da Shu watched Luo Chong pour some smoking sawdust from a bone tube, put it in the hay and blew it, and it caught fire. He was immediately very curious. It turned out that this was also possible. He couldn't help but admire Luo Chong a little more.
In the surprised eyes of the tree tribe, Luo Chong took out a beautiful earthenware pot with a lid and put it on the fire. He cut some meat slices into it, put some wild vegetables, added water, salt, and peppers. In less than ten minutes, the aroma of wild vegetable barbecue soup came out.
Because the meat was roasted in advance, it didn't need to be stewed for a long time, just boil the water. Luo Chong asked Mutun to bring a wooden bowl and filled a large bowl for him. They took turns to drink, each taking a sip.
Dashu took a sip first. It was salty, similar to their tree sap, but a little spicy. He felt hot all over after taking a sip. The whole body was no longer cold. There were also slices of meat in the soup, with thick oil floating on it, which made the wild vegetables taste good. After taking a sip, the fragrance lingered in the mouth. Can meat be eaten like this?
Everyone looked at Dashu eagerly, looking at his enjoyment. Dashu finally came to his senses, scratched his head embarrassedly, and quickly passed it to others to drink.
After everyone had enjoyed it, the soup was gone. This pot was too small, and it was originally for Luo Chong alone.
But everyone looked at Luo Chong differently. The magical fire, the magical pottery pot, the magical way of eating, the magical soup, and the team of blue antelopes, now they looked at Luo Chong as if he were a god.
Luo Chong waved his hands carelessly. He had long been numb to such surprised expressions, so he casually asked why they were so miserable.
Dashu immediately complained, and others also added to his complaints with gestures. Luo Chong then knew the reason and couldn't help but take a breath. There were cannibals nearby. Where did they come from?
You know, the Shu tribe is only a day's journey away from Luo Chong's Han tribe. Since the cannibals have reached the Shu tribe, how far is it from his own tribe? No, he must go back quickly. At this time, Luo Chong was already a little eager to go home. He was also worried that his tribe would be attacked. He hoped that the river could stop them for a few more days.
"I still have to prepare some things today and will go back tomorrow. What are your plans?" Luo Chong made a decision and asked Dashu about his plans.
"We, we" Dashu didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Yes, what else can they do? They fled in a hurry and didn't bring anything with them. Where can they go? The tree house was also burned down. Winter was coming soon. Now they had no place to live and could not go back to the forest. There were still enemies there. Who knew when they would come again?
For a moment, the people of the entire tree tribe lowered their heads. They had nowhere to go. If Luo Chong had not given them some barbecue just now, they would not even have meat to eat. And now there was no food reserve. What should they do this winter?
"Why don't you join my tribe? There are too few of you. You have no way to protect yourself when you encounter enemies. And now you have no place to live and food for the winter. You will definitely not survive this winter. The food we have stored is enough for us to eat together for a winter. You will definitely have no problem in my tribe." Luo Chong invited the big tree.
Yes, Luo Chong has a lot of food. It will definitely be no problem for you to feed your tribe for a winter. The big tree looked at the blue antelopes that were eating bushes not far away. There was so much meat that 30 of them could not finish it in a winter. The big tree was a little tempted.
If Luo Chong knew what Da Shu was thinking, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. He spent so much effort to catch a group of live blue gazelles. How could he eat them?
The tribesmen of the Tree Tribe wanted to agree. They were completely impressed by the pot of soup just now, especially the children. They had never eaten such delicious food before. The only hot food they had ever had was barbecue. They had never had broth. Besides, their wooden barrels could not be put on the fire.
Moreover, they had seen Luo Chong's weapon. With the bow and arrow, they would not lack prey, and would not be bullied by the enemy. At least they could protect themselves. Now they all looked at Da Shu with burning eyes, hoping that their leader would agree.
Da Shu also knew that this was the best way, but he was still a little worried. He thought Luo Chong was a good person, but would his tribesmen accept someone from his tribe? After hesitating for a while, he still asked.
"You invite us to join, will your leader agree, will your tribesmen agree?"
Hearing this, Luo Chong laughed. In the beginning, because he was on guard against them, Luo Chong did not tell them his identity, nor did he tell them the specific location of his tribe. He just said it was on the other side of the river. Now he had to explain it in detail.
