Xu Chen nervously touched the old witch's nose and found that she was still breathing. It must have been too much surprise that some of her energy and blood attacked her heart, causing her to faint. He couldn't help but let out a long breath and asked the two girls and a group of women to take good care of the old witch.
After exiting the room, he asked someone to fetch the medicine box he brought with him, and found some medicinal materials that can replenish blood and qi such as Panax notoginseng, yam, Polygonatum sibiricum, deer antler, etc. He randomly made up a few pairs of herbs and asked them to cook them in a crock pot.
Give it to the old witch once a day.
The old witch is at least sixty years old.
Being able to live to this age in the primitive era is completely an antique level. The peak of adult men and women is around forty years old, and most of the clan members died before the age of fifteen.
Same for men and women.
Men begin to participate in hunting activities when they are around thirteen years old. The mortality rate during this period is extremely high. Because of their lack of experience and weak physical strength, once they encounter large beasts, they are most likely to be killed or injured.
A woman reaches adulthood between the ages of 13 and 15, and usually starts mating and giving birth at this time. However, a woman's physical development during this period is not yet fully mature, so she is very likely to encounter dystocia, which is basically a doorway to death.
In fact, this is only the period when death is most concentrated, but dangers are everywhere in the primitive wilderness. Venomous snakes, poisonous insects, poisonous fruits, and various injuries and infections emerge in an endless stream. From conception to birth to growth, primitive humans are accompanied by incomparable dangers throughout their lives.
Danger and death are everywhere, so death is an everyday occurrence.
To be honest, if the old witch can live to this age, she should have no regrets and see through life and death.
But she has different responsibilities, so she doesn't want to die yet.
And Xu Chen was not a miraculous doctor, so naturally he couldn't help her much. He could only try to use some precious medicinal materials to help her relieve her pain and see if she could live a few more days.
In addition, the old witch is full of obsession with becoming the great witch in blue. Perhaps this belief will support her efforts to survive, at least until after Mother's Day in March, otherwise she may not have the chance to put on the blue cloak.
.
Because the great witch Gonghuo suddenly fell ill, and his condition was serious, the lively mood of the Gonghuo tribe suddenly cooled down. The neighboring tribes such as the Thunder Tribe and the Five Ghost Tribe also felt the same way, and the atmosphere was also very solemn.
However, Xu Chen's visit to the Gonghuo Clan this time has mostly been completed, and he is ready to set off to inspect the Yu Gong Clan in the south of the Yangtze River.
Before leaving, he convened a meeting with the little witches of the Five Ghost Clan and the clan leaders, leaders and officers of all tribes to arrange some of the next tasks.
The first is to let people take care of the great witch Gonghuo, and at the same time, let the little witches of the Five Ghosts take on more responsibilities and guide the daily production and life of several tribes and other management arrangements.
The second is that the chiefs of each tribe should strengthen field management in spring, do weeding and ditch digging to prepare for the rainy season.
The third is to prepare a large amount of wood and stone, and to prepare a large amount of fired lime and pottery bricks.
The fourth is to take advantage of the rainy season before it comes and quickly build roads leading to the Devil Valley of the Jia Clan and the Five Ghost Clan, as well as the road from the Gonghuo Clan to the mouth of the Jicang River.
Although these two roads are not important and urgently needed roads, we should take advantage of the free time after the spring sowing to start building a rough prototype. At least the thorns, weeds and trees along the way must be cleared away, and they will be completely completed soon in the autumn and winter.
, This will help to communicate with the Yu Gong Clan and the original Five Ghost Clan, and strengthen the transportation of important supplies such as salt and lead.
…
January 22nd.
Xu Chen led Gu Ju and others and more than 20 hunters from the Ba, Gonghuo, Lei, and Five Ghost tribes, all riding horses at the mouth of the Jicang River and taking rafts across the river to the south bank of the Wulong River.
This is the second time he has set foot in the Yu Gong clan's territory.
Regarding Xu Chen's sudden visit, the Yugong clan was filled with joy.
The hunters lined up to greet him with flags and horns, and the middle-aged shaman led the whole clan, old and young, squatting on the river beach to greet him. Naturally, a grand bonfire singing and dancing banquet followed.
This is already the second spring of conquering the Yu Gong clan.
Although it only lasted just over a year, Xu Chen was most surprised by the changes in the Yugong clan. Compared with the situation when they were conquered more than a year ago, they were completely different.
At the junction of the gentle and vast river beach and the mountain, seven or eight mud-brick houses and wooden houses of various sizes stand up. The houses are connected together to form a mixed-housing complex that looks like a family compound.
The house is surrounded by farmland, now covered with green wheat and bean crops.
There are simple roads and ditches connecting farmland, houses and rivers. On the green river beach, you can see a few horses grazing leisurely and even a few sheep.
The entire Yugong clan looks like a peaceful and peaceful farming village, but it is also full of a simple and wild charm of primitive wilderness.
Faced with such a big change, Xu Chen naturally did not hesitate to praise him. He only made a group of leaders and officers of the Yu Gong clan dance with excitement. The middle-aged wizard was also very proud and excited.
Being praised by His Majesty the Witch King is naturally the greatest achievement.
But all this was developed under the guidance and support of the great shaman of the Ba people and the witch king.
If they had not surrendered to the Ba tribe, the tribe would never be as prosperous as it is today.
And Xu Chen also knew that the middle-aged witch in front of him was indispensable for these huge changes. It was she who spared no effort to promote and imitate the Gonghuo and Ba tribes, and it was only in just over a year that they
Within, the Yugong clan has reached its current prosperous situation.
Only in this era can we know what witch means and what it represents?
Only tribes with witches will have strong cohesion and development motivation.
Therefore, as long as the witches are conquered and controlled, it will be very easy and easy to manage even the most powerful and barbaric tribe.
Just like the development of the Gonghuo Clan, he had almost no intervention. He only gave simple guidance. The old witch would seriously lead the tribe to complete it. She would even work harder in order to imitate the Ba Clan so as not to fall too far behind. This made the Gonghuo Clan
In just two or three years, earth-shaking changes have occurred.
Originally, Xu Chen would have thought that the Yu Gong clan would not change too much, but he never thought that the changes would become more obvious. It only took one year plus one winter and spring to almost catch up with the development speed of the Gonghuo clan.
Not only were they built enough houses to accommodate the entire tribe, but they also opened up nearly a thousand acres of farmland.
Although these houses are not very neatly built and look extremely messy, and the thatch cover is as messy as a chicken coop, it is undeniable that the completion of these houses has allowed the Yugong clan as a whole to get rid of the original embarrassment of living in caves and improve their living environment.
Earth-shaking changes have taken place.
The farmland also looks untidy, and there are even some trees and even big rocks that have not been cleared in many places. However, the criss-crossing of the farmland is green and flat, which also gives it a unique visual impact.
And all these huge changes are due to the guidance and command of the witches of the Ariyu clan.
Although she lost to the great witch of the Gonghuo tribe in the witchcraft competition when Xu Chen conquered the tribe, she is even younger. She is only about thirty years old now, which is the period when she is strong and energetic, and usually at this time
Under the leadership of shamans of all ages, this is also the time when each ethnic group develops the fastest and best.
With the input and support of what the Ba and Gonghuo tribes saw and heard, as well as the knowledge and technology continuously taught by the Ba and various new tools, the great witch of the Yugong tribe gave full play to her power and led the tribe to an outburst.
The Gonghuo tribe's greater development momentum is that in just over a year, they have completed the development speed that the Gonghuo tribe and other tribes in Bameng achieved in two or three years.
Among them, there may be some anger and anger after losing the witch fight.
He also has more wisdom and vision that a great witch should have.
After all, she didn't want to fall too far behind the Gonghuo tribe in terms of tribal development after the failure of the witch fight.
In addition, with the example of the Ba people in front of them, both witches and ordinary people have already formed a unified understanding and passion for learning and imitating the development of the Ba people.
Coupled with the Ba tribe's unstinting support and encouragement, the great shaman of the Yugong tribe and all the tribe members felt that they should not be inferior to the Gonghuo tribe.
This was mainly due to the large-scale conflict and riot between the hunters of the two tribes at the Witchcraft Conference held in September last year.
Xu Chen's impartial and fair punishment and ruling made both the Yugong clan and the Great Witch, who were still somewhat inferior to others, realize that their identities and status were exactly the same as those of the Gonghuo clan, and there was no difference between them.
Especially in order to support the development of the Yugong clan and their transportation with other tribes, Xu Chen also specially allocated a batch of good quality wild horses to them, most of which were well-trained mature horses replaced by the Ba and Wu tribes.
.
In addition, Xu Chen was not stingy in terms of bronze knives, axes and tools. He rented or borrowed them, and arranged for Mo to send dozens of them when he brought people to get salt. Although most of these tools had to be distributed to other alliance tribes to support their development.
, but these actions made the entire Yu Gong Alliance feel inexplicably grateful and felt His Majesty the Witch King's fair and great mind.
The most important thing is that the Yugong clan also has a large number of hunters who participated in labor reform and training in large tribes such as the Ba, Wu, Gonghuo and other large tribes. These men who were young and strong and had learned their skills returned and became the key to the development of the Yugong clan.
The main driving force.
Even on many construction and development issues, these hunters take a longer-term view than witches and actively make suggestions for the development of the tribe. Several hunter leaders who were awarded military ranks took the initiative to lead the men and women of the tribe to build houses and reclaim wasteland on a large scale. They trained hard and organized
Riding, shooting and hunting drove away wild beasts from their habitats, laying a solid foundation for the large-scale development of the Yugong clan.
