After two days of familiarization and practice, the atmosphere of the entire Ba activities has become very serious.
The planned tribal settlement included several piles of stones for placing flags, and a large number of sticks to build tents and firewood for cooking.
A row of flags were also placed on the fortifications at the mouth of the valley, whirling and billowing against the warm wind whistling at the mountain pass, which looked very spectacular and lively.
"Woo~wu~~"
At noon, the sound of horns was heard far outside the entrance of the valley, and soon a mighty team was seen coming from the lower reaches along the river bank. Four flags were fluttering, and the patterns on them could be seen from a long distance away.
On one side is the goshawk flag, that is the Cang clan.
One side is a golden sunset flag, that is the Ji clan.
On one side is the red flame flag, that is the Gonghuo Clan.
One side is the golden lightning flag, that is ThunderClan.
Among these four flags, the flag of the Ji clan is the most conspicuous. It looks similar to the plaster flag of Little Japan, but it has an abstract triangle pattern underneath to represent the mountains.
Ji does not mean four seasons, but the meaning of the West. It may be the ancient pronunciation of West. It is probably like many Chinese people in later generations who could not distinguish the initial consonants of jqx, so the pronunciation became like this.
After the Ji tribe split from the Uzu tribe, they went west to find a habitat. Because they were in the west of the Uzu tribe, they called themselves the Ji tribe.
The west represents the land of sunset, so Xu Chen designed this flag for them.
Because just a sun looks a bit strange, I added a mountain pattern to give it a more artistic conception.
These four tribes were the farthest away from the Ba people, so they were the earliest to set out, and finally arrived in advance on the day before Mother's Day.
However, after welcoming this huge team into the valley and arriving at the station, Xu Chen realized that there were actually more than just these four tribes coming.
The Gonghuo Clan’s team also includes many people from its alliance tribes.
The entire Gonghuo Clan team totaled over 300 people. The old witch personally led the team, and seven of the clan leaders came.
It can be seen that after the last great witch inheritance ceremony, the strength of the Ba tribe has been recognized by most of the Gonghuo tribe alliance tribes, and the prestige of the great witch of the Ba tribe has also gained unprecedented growth.
In addition, this time the old witch also brought three girls, two boys, and five children around ten years old in accordance with the friendly exchange agreement reached with Xu Chen last time, intending to stay with the Ba people and learn knowledge and culture from them.
These five children seemed to be strong and intelligent. Xu Chen was still very satisfied and left them to Ye Dai for the time being to gradually familiarize themselves with the situation of the Ba people.
Although the number of people coming to the Gonghuo Clan Alliance exceeded Xu Chen's plan, because the preparation work was very careful and careful in advance, it was busy and not chaotic, and this large and complex team was quickly settled.
Only five people from the Lei Clan came, and the leader Lei personally led the team.
And he is also the only male leader among all the tribes, which makes him seem rather special, and even he himself is a little embarrassed.
It was a little embarrassing for him to have an old man as the clan leader, but the Thunder Clan had just settled in the Gonghuo Clan, and they really needed a strong leader to ensure stability as soon as possible.
In addition, the Cang and Ji tribes set off together when the huge team of the Gonghuo tribe passed through their habitat.
In fact, in previous years, the Ji and Cang people would go to the Wu people together to attend two gatherings in spring and autumn.
There are a total of more than 400 people in the four teams, which far exceeds the number of participants when the Uzbek tribe holds a tribal conference every year.
It can be seen that the population expanded very rapidly after the conquest of the Archfire Alliance.
People in the Six Tribes Alliance don’t know much about the past tribal exchange conferences of the Gonghuo Alliance. They only know that the habits are not much different. But this year, most of the tribes have not yet arrived, and the number of participants is already so huge. This also makes
The people of the Ji and Cang tribes were in awe, especially the two chiefs. After feeling the Ba tribe's orderly arrangements and enthusiastic reception this year, they expressed extreme compliments to Mu Ba.
Nothing can be compared, the difference is too obvious.
The activities organized by the Ba people this year are far superior to those of the Uzbek people in the past, in terms of reception, station arrangements, and security protection.
Even when the Great Witch was still there, the gatherings held twice a year in spring and autumn were very simple and rudimentary.
But among the Ba people, everything is in order.
Someone blew a horn at the entrance of the valley to welcome us. The station was not only cleaned up, but also all kinds of materials were prepared, including wooden sticks and ropes for tents, firewood for cooking and barbecue, and even the piles of stones for placing flags were carefully arranged.
After the four tribal flags were planted on the stone piles, each tribe began to set up tents under the guidance of the Ba people and distribute pottery and wooden racks for cooking barbecue food. This kind of meticulous care and care gave all tribesmen a sense of security.
A kind of gratitude that comes from the bottom of my heart.
In addition, there are groups of hunters wearing vine armor and holding spears patrolling back and forth shouting slogans. This strict and serious safety measure makes everyone feel serious and nervous, and at the same time, it also increases
Feeling somewhat safe.
All circumstances show that the Mother's Day gathering held by the Ba people this time is very unique, with an unprecedented serious and warm atmosphere, making everyone full of expectations.
Shortly after the joint team of the four ethnic groups was settled, the Hu tribe arrived in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, the Muya tribe arrived.
In the evening, a huge team of Uzbek people came in force.
At this point, all participating tribes have arrived.
On the river beach near the farmland, the flags of various tribes were lined up in a row and fluttering.
Men and women, plus the Ba people themselves, nearly a thousand people gathered together, noisy, and communicated back and forth. Groups of foreigners visited the Ba people's compound, kiln factory, farmland, and the just-started canal project.
Watch various wild animals raised by the Ba people.
Especially for the magical wild horses that can be ridden, almost all the people in the tribe showed extreme enthusiasm. Hundreds of people crowded the narrow courtyard of the second phase. Looking at the group of wild horses in the stable, all the men drooled.
It couldn't stop coming out and I couldn't even wipe it dry.
In particular, a group of hunters led by dragons from the Uzbek tribe to escort them lay around the stables and watched, reluctant to leave. They listened to a few old and weak men who had defected from the Uzbek tribe who were responsible for raising horses and were excited to explain how to catch horses.
After passing by, everyone's eyes were red and they wished they could go back and catch a few groups of wild horses.
However, he also knew that it was very difficult to catch wild horses on the open river beach. Therefore, after visiting the wild horses, the hunter leaders of several tribes swarmed to find Xu Chen, howling and calling, hoping that Xu Chen could help them think of something.
How to catch wild horses.
Xu Chen was so noisy that he almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, but in the end he could only smile bitterly and agreed to help find a solution after Mother's Day.
There are a lot of wild horses in the herds of wild horses on the river bank, probably more than a hundred in total.
In the past, Xu Chen had no confidence or means at all.
But now that there are a group of tame wild horses, as long as the hunter's riding skills are well trained, it is still possible to transform into a group of men roping horses.
However, if you want to use a horse pole or a lasso to accurately capture and subdue a wild horse during high-speed movement, it is not only a matter of speed and courage, but also a technical issue.
If a horse is accidentally lassoed and is pulled off, a bruised nose and face are considered the least serious. It is not surprising at all that a leg or arm is broken. It is also possible to fall to death.
Therefore, catching more wild horses cannot be rushed at the moment.
Feng Wait and a group of hunters have just adapted to riding horses, and are still far from being proficient.
The living conditions and development speed of the Ba people are unattainable in the Alliance of Six Nationalities. They have the largest yard, the most houses, the most extensive farmland, and unique pottery making technology. Now they have captured and raised so many people.
Everything about him, like a flying wild horse, makes all the alliance tribes admire and envy him.
But all the patriarchs, leaders and young men and women of the Gonghuo Alliance who came to the Ba tribe for the first time were completely shocked from the moment they entered the Ba tribe's valley.
To them, the Ba Clan is like a completely different place in the world. Everything is far beyond their experience. If they hadn't passed by the Cang Clan Ji Clan and seen the houses and farmland fire kilns when they came here, they would have been crying, wolves howling and kneeling down again.
All over the place.
Because they have already knelt before the Cang Clan and Ji Clan.
The Ba people's houses, farmland, and kilns are larger than those of the Cang Ji people. Especially when they see the kilns piled with pottery in several sheds, these savages who just knew what pottery was half a month ago are completely overwhelmed.
Unable to accept the reality in front of me.
In addition, the Ba people, regardless of gender, old or young, all wear clean and neat linen clothes.
And they were all wearing the simplest furs, most of them were topless because of the hot weather.
No matter in terms of housing or food and clothing, the Ba people are completely different from them in terms of age and species. In addition to envy, they are more in awe and inferiority complex. They don't even dare to speak loudly when they see the Ba people.
There are too many people, and it is impossible for the Ba tribe to provide enough food for all tribes.
However, all the tribes came prepared and brought a large amount of dry food.
Feng led a group of hunters and the harvest of hunting and fishing in the past two days was also very good. They got a dozen big and small beasts and hundreds of big fish. They were distributed according to the population and each tribe also got a lot of fresh meat.
.
In addition, it is March now, and various wild vegetables, melons and fruits in the mountains have begun to be eaten in large quantities. For these people who live by collecting all year round, the total of all kinds of food can still be eaten quite satisfactorily, not to mention eating
It's not a big problem if you are full and full.
According to tradition, all tribes will bring some gifts to the great witch every time they attend a tribal conference.
In addition to animal skins and dried meat grains, there will also be some feathers and even colorful gems.
Therefore, after the arrival of these tribes, the clan leaders immediately visited the little witch under the leadership of Muba and presented them with gifts from their tribes.
These leaders and the two witches were also grandly arranged to live in the compound by Mother Ba. They all had clean houses, new animal skin mats and linen beddings, water cups and pottery cups and other daily utensils, all of which were brand new.
.
Such a high-level reception naturally made all the clan leaders extremely grateful. Although the sacrificial ceremony had not yet begun, they all expressed their extreme gratitude and satisfaction to the Ba clan's reception.
