The dozen or so Uu tribe companions who escorted the little witch along with the Ba tribe have also been properly accommodated.
The dead were buried at the foot of the mountain, and the injured were carefully treated and bandaged. It was confirmed that no one would die.
But after settling down, Muba was also very indifferent to them.
These men have nowhere to go and now they can only join the Ba tribe.
Logically speaking, the sudden addition of more than ten men is a matter worthy of celebration and joy, but Muba is not happy at all.
Because these people came here to betray the Uzbek people, staying with the Ba people is a huge hidden danger.
Naturally, the little witch and a group of Uzbek companions felt Muba's attitude very clearly. They could not eat with the Ba people. They had to wait until the Ba people had finished eating before they were allowed to go to the kitchen to eat the leftovers.
Of course, Muba got Xu Chen's advice and left enough food for them, but she just looked bad.
Xu Chen could also imagine Mu Ba's worries. Although he was also worried about the Uzbek people's subsequent revenge, he was relatively calm.
He personally arranged the lives of a group of Uzbek people, cleared out several rooms in the warehouse, and temporarily lived in four people per room. He also tidied up the classroom next to his bedroom and arranged for the little witch to sleep in it alone to prevent the tribe from bullying her.
.
As for the group of men from the Feng and other tribes, they all followed Xu Chen's lead. Xu Chen secretly told them not to discriminate and not to be hostile to the little witch and these Uzbek people. Naturally, the men said they had no problem.
As a result, the attitude of the men and women of the Ba tribe towards the little witch and the Wu tribe formed completely opposite situations.
Mother and a group of women are left out in the cold.
The men, on the other hand, did not mean to be indifferent at all. They seemed very calm at home, but as soon as they went out they would talk and laugh, arm in arm, and did not take the mother's words to heart at all.
Feeling the two completely different attitudes of the Ba people, a group of Uzbek people are also extremely contradictory. They cannot take refuge but become dependent on others. They cannot be fully accepted, but they still have food and drink to live in friendship with.
It’s just that emotions are very difficult to control and grasp.
You can neither appear happy nor unhappy.
For a group of primitive emoji animals, their life full of contradictions makes them extremely uncomfortable.
However, whether it was Mu Ba's attitude or the Uzbek people's uncomfortable mood, Xu Chen didn't have much to care about and understand at the moment.
Because he needed to build the fortifications at Taniguchi as soon as possible.
There is only one entrance to the entire valley. As long as the entrance of the valley is guarded, the safety of the tribe and their homes can be ensured.
Therefore, after rescuing the little witch and others and returning home, after settling down for a group of people to simply rest and get familiar with each other for two days, Xu Chen officially announced that he would build a stone wall at the entrance of the valley to block the invasion of foreign tribes.
Although Xu Chen did not specify who this foreign invading tribe was, everyone would naturally think of the Uzbek tribe, so Mu Ba was very supportive of this arrangement and asked the entire tribe to cooperate with Xu Chen's arrangement.
It is now the dry season in autumn, and the water in the river is already very small. Although it has not stopped flowing, the narrow position at the mouth of the valley is only more than two feet deep and only seven or eight meters wide.
The overall width of the valley entrance is about thirty meters. On the left is a steep mountain wall with a small pool below. On the right is a not too steep rocky slope covered with thorns and vines.
Xu Chen's plan was to build a stone wall at the narrowest point to form the first spinning line of the valley.
Because there were no siege equipment in this era, not even the ladder had been invented, and there was no shadow of the cloud car, the catapult, or the catapult. Therefore, Xu Chen's requirements for this stone wall were not high. He only needed that the savages could not climb over easily.
That’s it.
However, according to the height of these savages and the savage physique of walking across mountains and ridges, this wall cannot be too low, at least about two meters.
Xu Chen calculated that it was thirty meters wide, two meters high, and one meter wide. The overall earthwork work exceeded sixty cubic meters. If there were bulldozers, it would only take about an hour, but it would be done entirely manually, and all the men in the family would have to move it.
It will take at least half a month to start working together.
In addition, the stone wall is not simply stacked. It also needs to be stable enough. Not only must it be fixed with mud, but some wooden stakes and tough thorns and rattan must be added for reinforcement. This consumes more manpower and time.
However, for the safety of the tribe, Xu Chen believed that this project had to be done.
With the defection of the little witch, the relationship between the Ba and Wu tribes has been completely forged. Even if she gave up the witch scepter, it would be a great shame and humiliation for the Wu tribe. As long as the little witch stays with the Ba tribe for one day, this danger will be
Still exists one day.
As for returning the little witch, he never thought about it at all.
Some things are not all measured by immediate interests and gains and losses.
He wants all tribesmen to know that the Ba tribe will protect anyone who takes refuge, even if they fall out with the powerful Wu tribe.
This is the key to attracting fans.
Although Mu Ba is currently unwilling to accept the little witch and a group of Uzbek people as her own people, this matter is already a certainty in Xu Chen's eyes.
This time, the Uzbek people escorted the little witch to defect from a total of seventeen men. One died on the way and five were injured. Two of them were slightly seriously injured and are expected to be disabled. The remaining fourteen are completely normal.
The number of adult men is almost equal to the current total number of adults of the Ba people.
In other words, the number of Ba men suddenly doubled.
Although my aunt is becoming more and more inadequate.
But with more manpower, he can better ensure the advancement of his various plans.
Just like building this defensive wall.
Except for Feng, who continued to take a group of archers to hunt on the river beach every day and also pay attention to the movements of the Uzbek people, everyone else participated in the construction of the stone wall.
A group of newly arrived Uzbek people are the main force.
The Ba people are now very familiar with building walls, and Xu Chen hardly needs to do it himself. He only needs to plan the location and scale of the stone wall and give some simple guidance.
Apart from the five injured and recuperating, the Uzbek people are left with twelve people.
In addition to the hunting archery team and the two kiln workers who stayed behind at the kiln factory, there were ten people from the Ba tribe, including Xu Chen.
The twenty-two-person engineering team was divided into two groups and started building walls from both ends of the valley entrance.
The two groups of people were assigned tasks such as picking up rocks, mixing mud, and building walls.
Everyone is treated equally, and Xu Chen does not specifically allocate heavy work to the Uzbek people. There is no distinction when assigning tasks.
However, once the work started, the difference quickly became apparent.
It is obvious that the Ba people are stronger than the Uzbek people in various abilities. Whether it is their ability to understand Xu Chen's instructions or their speed and cooperation in working, there is a big gap between them.
There are many things that Xu Chen can understand to the Ba people in just one sentence, but the Uu people need to explain them repeatedly.
The same goes for cooperation. The simplest thing is like building a wall. The Ba people cooperate with each other. The assistant will select the appropriate stones according to the situation at hand and give them to the person building the wall. The two have a tacit understanding.
But the Uzbek people don't know how to build walls at all, so naturally they don't have this sense of cooperation.
So slowly, the heavy and tiring work of picking up rocks, moving rocks, digging soil and mud became the work of the Uzbek people, while the light and simple tasks of building walls, cutting down vines, and cutting wood piles were all the work of the Ba people.
.
Although this seems to be discriminating against Uzbek people, unexpectedly, the work efficiency has increased.
And the Uzbek people are also very willing and happy.
After all, they don't know such advanced skills as building walls, they only have a handful of strength.
The Ba people not only saved their lives this time, but also brought them back and arranged to live in spacious and clean rooms, and they were able to eat every meal. Although the mother Ba was a little indifferent to them, Xu Chen still treated them equally, eating and drinking.
Lazar did not feel discriminated against.
Therefore, they are also very hardworking at work, rushing to do heavy and tiring work without any complaints.
The defensive wall plan was Xu Chen's impromptu idea.
And based on the surge in river water in summer, it seems likely that this wall will be extensively washed away in summer.
But in view of the completely unequal strength between the two tribes of Ba and Wu, this wall must be repaired.
Only by protecting yourself first can you be able to expand.
The tribe, which had only a few dozen people in total, couldn't bear the thought of him rushing into battle in order to realize his dynasty's hegemony. He felt ashamed of his conscience and the entire human race for the loss of even one person.
Because in this barbaric era, the number of humans is indeed too small. They are as rare as the giant pandas in later generations. Each one is a treasure and cannot be lost.
Since the construction of the stone wall at the entrance of the valley began, Xu Chen, like all men, got up early and came home late every day, completely giving up the habit of sleeping in.
Seven or eight days passed by in a flash. After recovering, the three Uzbek people who were slightly injured also joined in the work of building the defensive wall. The manpower became more abundant. In addition, the Uzbek people became more and more skilled in working together, and the construction speed of the stone wall was accelerated.
It's accelerating every day, almost looking like it's closing in the center every day.
Xu Chen nervously urged the construction of fortifications every day.
At the same time, Feng was arranged to lead a group of archers out of the valley to hunt three to five miles downstream every day while monitoring the movements of the Uzbek people.
The entire Ba clan exudes a strong atmosphere of tension.
After all, it is a matter of life and death, and no one dares to take it lightly.
However, Xu Chen and the Ba people are nervous, but in fact, the Uzbek people have become even more nervous recently.
After retaking the witch's scepter that day, two groups of Uzbek hunters returned to the tribe and handed the scepter to the clan leader. Naturally, they relived Xu Chen's terrifying and magical story with their usual exaggerated movements and expressions.
ability.
The reason they failed to bring back the little witch and a group of defectors was because the Ba tribe had a powerful weapon, the horn, given by the gods. When blown, the sound was deafening, like the roar of the most terrifying monster.
This horn can command and drive away any wild beast.
If the Wu tribe did not agree to Xu Chen's words, he would drive thousands of wild beasts to attack the Wu tribe.
This is horrifying and horrifying news.
After hearing this, the leader of the Wu tribe and a group of leaders were confused and frightened.
They have not personally experienced the beast tide that a group of people are talking about, but the beast tide does exist. Once the terrifying beast tide forms, it has the ability to destroy almost everything.
If the Ba people really possess such a magical horn that can drive and control wild beasts, then the Wu people will not be able to resist at all.
Because more than a hundred people who came back described it in this way, the news quickly spread throughout the entire tribe and all ethnic groups.
Under the influence of this horrific news, the entire Uzbek tribe was instantly panicked.
Not to mention that he went to find the Ba tribe to raise an army and ask for punishment to bring back the little witch and the betrayer. He didn't even dare to go hunting.
Because beyond the valley is a vast river beach, where thousands of wild animals live and breathe.
If the Ba tribe secretly lurks outside the valley with a horn, and suddenly blows the horn, thousands of wild beasts will attack the valley together, and the entire Wu tribe will suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, regardless of whether this matter is true or false, the leader of the Uzbek tribe does not dare to act rashly.
What's more, Xu Chen has given up the scepter of the great witch, and the inheritor designated by the great witch is still in the tribe. This matter can be considered a happy ending, and there is no need to cause trouble to provoke the Ba tribe and the mysterious Xu Chen.
In addition, the great witch had just passed away, and the tribe was in chaos.
All tribes usually have more or less dissatisfaction and conflicts, but now they are extremely serious.
Even on the matter of hunting down the little witch who defected from the tribe, there was no unified opinion within the tribe, otherwise there would not have been a dragon following closely behind to chase the killing team arranged by the tribe leader.
Therefore, after a day of intense discussion, the leader of the Wu tribe issued an order to let the hunters guard the mouth of the valley and monitor the movements of the Ba tribe upstream at all times. Once they see the strange dragon-shaped flag and hear the terrifying horn sound, all tribesmen will
They all returned to the valley and took refuge in the mountains.
As a result, the Wu and Ba tribes were each worried about being attacked by the other and began to shrink their defenses.
And in order to appease the panic of the tribe, the chief of the Wu tribe led all the tribesmen to gather in the cave where the great witch lived, held a simple funeral ceremony for the great witch, and officially handed over the great witch's scepter to the designated inheritor, that is, the twin little witches
in the hands of my sister.
The little witch was confused and frightened. Holding the witch's scepter that carried the power of the gods, she wanted to refuse several times, but finally held back.
The new great witch succeeded to the throne, and the panic of the Uzbek people calmed down a little.
Although the Ba people have received the terrifying horn with divine power, the Wu people still have the protection of the great witch.
The Ba people don't even have witches, so they will never be able to attack the Wu people who are guarded by big witches.
And this guess seems to be slowly confirmed as time goes by.
Half a month passed quickly, but the Ba people did not appear, and there was no mysterious horn sound. The beasts on the river beach were as calm as ever.
As for the Ba people, there was also no sign of the Wu people coming to investigate.
As a result, the tension and fear between the two groups began to slowly subside, and life gradually returned to calm.
