Chapter 177 A chess piece

The news that the Ba people came to apologize with a large number of gifts soon spread throughout the Uzbek people.

As a result, the tension and fear of all the Uzbek people quickly subsided, and they all began to discuss the gifts sent by the Ba people crazily.

Pottery and linen are currently the most popular items.

Last winter, the Uzbek people raised hundreds of high-quality animal skins and went to the Ba people in exchange for a lot of pottery. At that time, many people objected, thinking that the winter was approaching and the animal skins had to be kept to keep out the cold. But after the pottery was exchanged, every

The family shared some, and after everyone had scalding hot porridge and minced meat in the cold winter, the objections quickly disappeared.

In addition, they also learned to build tents at the witchcraft conference.

With tents to protect themselves from the cold and hot porridge and soup, the Uzbek people finally spent a warmer winter without enough animal skins.

After realizing the benefits of pottery, various Uzbek tribes have greater demand for pottery.

It's a pity that there are no extra goods to exchange.

Later, a group of men who stayed in the Ba ethnic group to work brought back a batch in the spring, but even if they were distributed in a hundred or so pieces, it would be a drop in the bucket and not enough to meet the demand.

As the weather gets warmer in spring, linen has become a new favorite.

I exchanged some with the Ba people on Mother's Day, but it was still far from enough to distribute. If I wanted to exchange for more, I still didn't have any extra wealth.

Originally, the Ba people agreed to exchange a large amount of ore, but the water rose in summer and they could not collect it. After autumn, it was the best time to collect a large amount of food and hunt. They planned to search again in autumn and winter, but they did not expect that the great witch died suddenly, and then

There was another incident of the little witch defecting.

The two tribes of Ba and Wu were at loggerheads for a while, almost reaching the point of going to war.

So many people lamented that linen and pottery could not be replaced.

But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse and the Ba people actually came to apologize.

According to the condescending thinking of many Uzbek people, the Ba people's visit to mourn the death of the great shaman and to congratulate the new shaman on his succession is just an excuse, and their purpose is just to win over the weak.

As a result, everyone from top to bottom felt at ease receiving this gift.

However, although the linen pottery is good, the other gifts sent by the Ba people are also very good.

The fishing nets of the Ba people are finely woven with fine hemp ropes. The mesh size is uniform, and they are not only light but strong. They look much taller than the simple fishing nets made of bark ropes by the Uu people.

What all the Uzbek people talk about the most is the cradle and stroller sent by the Ba people.

To adult men, these two items are at best rare objects, but to adult women who are giving birth to children, they possess extremely magical power, making them even more ecstatic than clay pots and linen.

Motherhood is a higher-dimensional consciousness that coexists in all animal kingdoms. It exists beyond race and life.

Every mother hopes that her children can grow up healthily, and no amount of care is too much.

Cradles and strollers are the two other things they need most urgently besides food.

Although the Ba people have only sent a few samples so far, only four families have received gifts.

But the grandmother from the Ba tribe told me that at the shaman leader conference, the magical young man from the Ba tribe came to teach the making method.

I want my children to have such magical things.

The women of the Wu ethnic group are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the Witch Lords Conference. They will go crazy to welcome the Ba ethnic group boy who has been resurrected with the divine light.

If anyone wanted to punish the Ba people at this juncture, it is estimated that all women would not be willing.

After a lively and friendly exchange with the Uzbek tribe leader and a group of tribal leaders in the cave, my mother proposed that she would like to visit each family separately, because she also brought some exquisite pottery dolls as gifts to the Uzbek children.

.

Although the pottery dolls are just dolls, their shapes are exquisite and very different from ordinary stone and mud toys. After hearing this, a group of tribal leaders were all very happy and rushed to invite my mother to their cave as a guest.

So, amid the squabbling of a group of middle-aged and elderly women, my mother took Xu Chen's instructions and a basket of pottery toys left over from the Ba ethnic group children's play, and went to more than a dozen caves on the mountainside to visit and express condolences.

The tribe members, young and old, were all given a small, worn-out pottery figurine.

Most of these small pottery figurines were made by a group of kiln workers out of boredom, and some were even made by children playing with mud. Anyway, they were thrown into the kiln and burned out without any effort, in human and animal shapes.

There are all kinds of bird shapes, even hanging basket shapes and baby carriage shapes. The styles are all kinds of weird, which fully demonstrates the unique aesthetic and modeling ability of the Ba people. Each of them is ugly.

But these pottery toys made all the Uzbek children who had never seen the world fight over them and break their heads.

Every time grandma goes to a cave, there will be a burst of lively cheers.

The children were happy, and the leaders and women of each tribe were even more happy. They chatted and laughed around their mother, boiled water to make fruit tea, and even brought out the best wild fruits and food to entertain her, just like welcoming distinguished guests.

And the group of Ba hunters who have been following my mother have attracted the envy of countless Ba men and coveted women because of their armor and long boots, their unsmiling seriousness, and their unique upright aura when walking, sitting or lying down.

After more than a month of training, the Ba men have a spirit that the Uzbek men never had.

Especially the one holding the dragon flag and Gu holding the golden magical horn tightly all the way made people watch in amazement and horror.

This was an unprecedented friendly tribal exchange.

This is a situation that has never happened before.

The arrival of the Ba ethnic group completely relaxed the Uzbek people who had been frightened for more than half a month.

When he visited Long's tribe, Feng followed Xu Chen's instructions and gave the jar of fruit wine he brought to Long in front of the tribe leader, all tribal leaders, and the men, women, and children who were watching.

When the wine jar was opened, a mysterious smell with rich aroma of wine and fruit filled the air, and the atmosphere of the entire visit reached its climax.

Long's hands and feet were trembling with excitement, and he could hardly stop drooling with excitement.

The many hunters who were watching were all salivating like waterfalls, instantly wetting the cave floor.

The famous name of Ba fruit wine has already spread among the five ethnic groups with a group of helpers.

Fish fillet with fruit and wine grains is even said to be the most delicious food in the world.

Ever since the dragon took a group of people to escort the great witch to the Ba tribe to taste it once in spring in March, he has never forgotten it. However, wine making is a secret that is not passed down to the Ba tribe. If the Ba tribe doesn't give it to them, no one can take a second bite.

But today, the Ba people actually gave a large clay pot to Long, the newest and most powerful warrior of the Uu people.

This kind of treatment makes people envious, jealous, and hateful, and there is no second thought.

The envious person naturally has a good relationship with the dragon, but he can still get a share of the pie.

The envious person may be shameless enough to ask for a bite even though his strength is low and his relationship is mediocre.

The haters naturally have a rigid relationship and won't give it to them if they want. They can only secretly clench their fists and rub their teeth with an angry and helpless face.

Under the temptation of the strange aroma of fruit wine, the Uzbek men have collectively gone berserk and separated.

Before Ah Mu, Feng and others left the cave, the whole scene was completely out of control. Dozens and hundreds of men surrounded the dragon. The noise resounded throughout the mountainside. Even the leader of the Wu tribe and the tribal leader were completely stunned.

Can't stop drinking.

Long stood in the middle, holding the wine jar high, with leering eyes and a proud look on his face.

In his simple thinking, this was the reward he had summoned for his fairness, integrity and courage. He did not realize that he had fallen into the trap and became a pawn for Xu Chen to sow discord.

The chief of the Wu tribe and a group of tribal leaders accompanied my mother throughout the visit to all the tribes.

At this time, the sun has turned westward and the day is about to pass.

The leader of the Uzbek tribe began to arrange dinner and overnight stay for the envoy, and my mother proposed that she also wanted to visit Xinwu.

The Uzbek people could not refuse this request.

After all, the purpose of the Ba people's visit was to congratulate the new wizard on his succession.

However, the leader of the Wu tribe, who was exhausted by the noise, began to lose interest and agreed to arrange for an old woman with a feather in her head to accompany her mother to visit the cave where the witch lived.

The largest cave on the mountainside is the cave where the great witch used to live.

The newly succeeded little witch lives here under the protection of a group of women.

As before, she rarely left the cave.

I spent almost the whole day in the cave studying and sitting quietly thinking.

As for what to think about, no one knows.

But this is the normal state of witches. They are constantly communicating with the gods to obtain instructions from the gods to guide the development of the tribe.

Grandma followed the old woman to the cave with a small backpack on her back.

The little witch was excited but a little nervous and at a loss. She could only hold the dark ancient traditional staff tightly and tighten her face. After listening to her mother's visit greetings with an expressionless face, she reached out and pressed her hand on her mother's head.

On his forehead, an ancient blessing song was sung in an ups and downs.

This is just a routine and simple visit.

The old woman was very happy about the growth of the little witch.

This was the first time a foreigner came to visit the little witch after she took over. She performed very well throughout the whole process and there were no accidents.

After receiving the blessing from the new witch, my mother took out the specially brought gift from her backpack.

A golden bowl and a golden spoon.

This was used by Xu Chen to secretly drink fruit wine.

After living two lifetimes, he was finally able to possess a large amount of gold luxuriously for the first time. He had begun to expand beyond control.

However, in order to achieve the purpose of this visit, he sent this golden combination as a cover-up.

The two pieces of gold tableware are very exquisitely made, especially the gold bowl. There is a radiating sun at the bottom of the bowl, and there is a moon phase diagram and corresponding time scale on the outside. It looks mysterious and beautiful, and it is so heavy that it is surprising and surprising.

Not only was the little witch so happy about these two exquisite gifts, she turned them over and over in her hands and couldn't bear to let them go. The accompanying old woman and the other women who were responsible for taking care of the little witch's daily life were also very excited.

kept exclaiming.

"And Xinyi Ga!"

Grandma was very satisfied with the performance of the other group and took out a brand new set of clothes from the backpack.

This dress is sewn with the finest linen. Not only is the workmanship meticulous, but the sun, moon, stars and moire patterns are also embroidered with colorful linen threads on the chest and headband. There are also exquisite embroidered belts and headbands.

.

In fact, these are not clothes specially prepared for the little witch, but are prepared by the mother for Ye's coming-of-age ceremony.

But this happened suddenly, so Xu Chen gave it away first.
