Seven days later it will be the annual Python Tribe's mountain closing meeting. With the arrival of winter, the mountains are no longer suitable for hunting, so the tribe will hold a mountain closing meeting every time this season comes.
The purpose of the conference is to celebrate the harvest of this year and to divide the hunting range for each village in the spring of next year. It is also the day for the villages to concentrate on resolving conflicts. If there is any dissatisfaction, you can speak it out in front of the entire python tribe and let everyone judge. If you are still not convinced, you can challenge the people from the other village. The other party can refuse, but will be ridiculed by everyone, and the appeal will be biased towards the winner.
This is the best way for the tribe to preserve its strength. Otherwise, the tribe will be exhausted before the enemy tribe comes to attack. The premise of raising Gu is to survive! A tribe cannot afford to spend this much money on raising Gu.
Five days before the start of the conference, the people of Qimu Village had already packed up. The young men were carrying dried wild animal meat and handmade items, and were excited to set off. Except for a small amount of dried wild animal meat, the rest were all tributes to Python City. The people of Python City were responsible for protecting the villages, and these villages naturally had to pay tribute to Python City. Everyone had no complaints about the tribute. The handmade items were to be exchanged with people from other villages in exchange for the items they needed.
With Li Mu's strength, he could naturally carry more than the others, but he was stopped by Zawa, who asked Li Mu to be responsible for guarding the tamed wild wolf team in the village along the way, so as to maintain his physical strength and fight against Duota in the best condition. Since the mountain paths were not easy to walk on, let alone passable by car, all the goods in Qimu Village had to be carried out by people and wild wolves.
"Let's go!" With the order from the old village chief Dadong, a long team from Qimu Village walked out of the village. There were about 300 people. Except for the old, weak and disabled, it could be said that the whole village was out. The long team made a "rustling" sound when stepping on the fallen leaves on the path. The golden sunlight fell on the faces of the villagers, reflecting their smiling faces. Everyone laughed all the way, and the goods on their backs didn't feel heavy, just like going to the market. Isn't it? Python City is a place that many villagers yearn for. Everyone can only go there once or twice a year, and the end of the mountain closure meeting means that everyone can have a good rest for a while.
After walking for most of the day, they saw another team resting in front of them. Like the people from Qimu Village, these people were also carrying a large amount of goods.
"Hey~ Brother Dadong, your village is up quite early today! Haha, it seems that your village has a good harvest this year!" As the people from Qimu Village just approached the team, an old man came up and looked up and down at the goods on the backs of the villagers from Qimu Village.
"It turns out to be the village chief Mamu from Tuo Village. What a coincidence, we meet again after just a few days!" Dadong said expressionlessly.
"Hey, brother, it seems that you are unhappy about me leading General Dota a few days ago. You should also understand my difficulties! That's General Dota, how dare I disobey his orders? Haha, but I am relieved to see that your village has not been affected, but it's a pity for that young man." Ma Mu sighed.
"Hmph~" Dadong snorted coldly. Not wanting to argue with him, he turned and left.
"Hey, Brother Dadong, wait a minute, let's go together from our two villages!" After saying this, Ma Mu signaled the villagers of Tuo Village to set off. He then rode on his wild boar mount and caught up with Dadong.
"Brother, where did that young man from your village who challenged Duota come from? Don't tell me that he was born and raised in your village. I know everything about your Qimu Village. I even know which wild wolf in your village gave birth to cubs and when. This is the first time I have seen that young man, and he even looks very different from you!" Ma Mu asked Dadong in a low voice.
"You don't have to worry about the affairs of our village!" Dadong said lightly.
"Haha, our two villages are neighbors, and we have known each other for so many years. Am I not concerned about you? I am afraid that there will be spies in your village who will bring disaster to our entire Python Tribe. By then, I am afraid that your entire Qimu Village will be in danger!" Ma Mu said meaningfully.
Dadong glared and said, "Mamu, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I advise you not to do these little tricks, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" As he said that, he rode the wild wolf under his crotch and accelerated to walk in front of Mamu.
Looking at Dadong's leaving back, Ma Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and did not chase after him. No one knew what was in his mind at the moment.
In this way, the group walked for three full days before entering the territory of Python City. During this period, the people of Qimu Village traveled during the day and lit a bonfire at night and built simple tents for rest. The people of Tuo Village also followed not far away. During this period, the team was attacked by wild beasts several times. However, after getting rid of the wild beasts, everyone did not take the bodies away or eat them directly. After all, the road was the territories of other villages. If you encounter a wild beast, you can kill it in self-defense, but if you take the body away or eat it on the spot, it is unclear. If everyone uses the excuse of being attacked to hunt in other villages, wouldn’t it be a mess?
Along the way, we met many teams that came to attend the conference. We all traveled together and had a great time chatting along the way. After all, there was no conflict of interest between these villages that were relatively far away.
By the time they arrived at the foot of Python City, this long team had gathered thousands of people, and villagers from villages in other directions also came in a steady stream. Now there are tens of thousands of people gathered outside Python City, and those who arrived earlier have already set up camp.
When everyone from the Qimu Village arrived, they were all exhausted, but it was not time to rest yet. After eating something simple, everyone began to set up a camp in the area designated for them by Python City. For the next few days, this would be the temporary residence of the Qimu Village.
"It's really spectacular. I wish our village could be built like this someday!" Da Niu exclaimed as he sat on the ground and looked at the Python City in front of him.
Li Mu was also looking at Python City at this time. He was unmoved by what Daniu said. Just like that? Magnificent? The walls of Python City were only a few meters high, and the crooked stones seemed to be about to collapse at any time. From the outside, the entire Python City covered hundreds of thousands of square meters, and there were no tall buildings inside. Although Li Mu did not think of the past, he was not surprised by Python City at all.
But for the villagers of Qimu Village who have lived in the deep forest all year round, Python City can indeed bring them enough shock.
"Hey~ You kid are being lazy again, hurry up and work, it's going to get dark soon, set up the camp quickly!" Zawa said to Daniu in annoyance.
Upon hearing this, Daniu shrank his neck, looked away, and continued to build the camp.
But Li Mu's treatment was completely different. Zawa didn't let him do any work now. Conserving his energy was Li Mu's only task now. Li Mu smiled bitterly, but it was not easy to refuse Zawa's kindness.
