From the direction of the Jicang River mouth, a melodious and low horn sound came.
People who were building roads and carrying wood on both sides of the river all lost their things and rushed to the riverside wharf with excitement and cheers. There were also groups of hunters on horseback, whipping their whips and driving their horses straight to the river mouth along the riverside road.
Sure enough, after going down for seven or eight miles, I saw three large and small wooden boats rowing upstream with sails. At the far mouth of the river behind the wooden boats, I could also see some rafts with sails set, and they were also trying to catch up.
"Your Majesty the Witch King is coming!"
The hunters were on horseback, cheering and shouting on the shore.
Half an hour later, three wooden boats slowly docked at the Gonghuo Tribe Pier.
After sunset in autumn, all the riverbanks that had been submerged by the river in spring and summer were exposed again. The main river channel was also two or three feet deep near the bank. Although two small boats that could only carry ten people could dock, the boat Xu Chen was riding could carry 10 people.
The large boat with thirty people was still unable to berth at the shore, so it could only dock seven or eight meters away from the pier.
Because there were not only a group of men on the big boat this time, but also two great witches and a group of women and children. In addition, the great witch of the Pi tribe had just given birth for a month. Xu Chen was also worried that she would not be able to bear the cold autumn water, so he stood on the boat and directed the welcoming hunters to rely on the pontoon to use
A simple movable dock was built with wooden planks, and then the springboard was put down to arrange for people to disembark.
Xu Chen's arrival immediately activated the entire Gonghuo Basin.
A large group of more than two thousand people cheered and cheered. The little witches of the Gonghuo Tribe and the little witches of the Five Ghost Tribes led the heads of all the tribes to greet him. This time, everyone's eyes were on the skin of the baby in his arms.
On the clan witch.
And many people have discovered that after half a year, the Pi tribe witch has a radiant mental outlook.
Not only has he become much plumper and fuller, but his cheeks are also rounder, shiny and fairer. Coupled with the brand new witch dress and the colorful brocade feathers on his head, it adds a kind of grace and luxury, and his face always has a radiant look.
Her gentle maternal brilliance makes people's eyes light up.
It seems that after the birth of this child, the temperament of the Pi tribe witch has completely changed, becoming more awe-inspiring. If you look at it more, you will even have an illusion, just like seeing the first mother holding a baby in the Temple of the Ancient Mother and looking at all living beings.
Like a god, it seems to have a sacred aura.
Even the great shaman walking in front of her, wearing a yellow cloak with two long brocade feathers in his hair, looked young and thin.
Therefore, the Pi witch held the baby and walked through the crowd. Thousands of people squatted down, and the awed and excited roars of the Wuga and Wuga could be heard one after another.
After a period of cheering and excitement on the river beach, Xu Chen led his tribe and the Pi tribe's witches back to the courtyard where the Ba tribe settled.
Mother and others quickly arranged to move the various belongings and daily necessities they brought into the courtyard.
Looking at the large and small baskets and loads of clothes, food and various living utensils, the onlookers all marveled at the prosperity and wealth of the Ba people.
And when at the end they saw Ye and a group of young women bringing out some brand new strollers, cradle, rattles, wooden bows and arrows, knives, wooden horses and other toys, the crowd became even more commotion.
These children's furniture and toys are all exquisite and beautiful, completely different from the rattan children's carriages and cradle that were passed down from the Ba people in the past.
Moreover, seeing the Pi tribe witch surrounded by a group of people like stars holding the moon, and Xu Chen teasing the baby all the time and smiling from ear to ear, the two little witches from the Gonghuo tribe and the Five Ghost tribe were even more satisfied.
The face is envious and the heart is sour.
Although everyone is a witch, and they all lead a large ethnic group, it is obvious that the Pi witches came from behind, and their status is different after giving birth to children.
After settling down in a lively manner, Xu Chen met with the two little witches and all the clan leaders in the tribe. After asking about the recent production and living conditions of each tribe, he personally led a group of hunters to escort the Pi tribe witches to the Pi tribe settlements.
Visiting relatives.
And all the crowds who came to see Xu Chen and Dawu followed in a mighty manner, making the area around the Pi tribe settlement, which had the smallest number of people, soon become lively and joyful.
The construction and development efforts of the Pi people are very small. Under Xu Chen's arrangement and guidance, they built three small and not too large adobe courtyards.
Moreover, these courtyards, from leveling the foundations to laying bricks and building them, were almost all completed with the help of the Gonghuo Tribe and the Lei Tribe.
Therefore, this house was built in a hurry and hastily. Not only is it completely incomparable with the rammed-earth courtyards of the Ba people, even the earliest courtyards built by the Ba people are not of the same quality. The courtyards are pitted, the rooms are narrow and low, and there are even many
The area has not been completely taken care of, and there are still a few tree stumps growing in the yard that have not been dug out.
As for the hundreds of acres of farmland reclaimed near the courtyard, the planting is actually very sloppy. Although it has been harvested for more than two months, in addition to the remaining withered wheat straw and bean stubble, there are also a large number of various kinds of crops growing in the farmland.
Weeds look little better than barren fields.
Xu Chen was also expecting the situation of the Pi tribe.
Because it has only been more than a year since they joined the Ba Nationality Alliance, and they only started to build houses and settle down after moving here. They do not have a large number of sharp tools, nor experience and technology, but after this year of development, they will be able to really build a house next year.
It started to develop rapidly.
The Pi people excitedly surrounded Xu Chen and others to visit the courtyard and farmland, and reported to the Pi witches the settlement and development of the tribe. They also took out some of the linen weaved by the women of the tribe and various utensils made by them.
The weaving of these linen cloths is very rough and has not been seen in earlier tribes such as the Ba and Gonghuo tribes, but these are the results of their hard work over the past year.
The other tools and utensils made were all similar, rough and crude, which gave Xu Chen and the people from other tribes who followed him an unbearable feeling.
But it is undeniable that the Pi people are also studying hard and trying their best to integrate into the big league.
The arrival of the Pi Tribe witch also gave the entire Pi Tribe tribe a shot in the arm, finding its backbone and becoming more excited and excited instead of feeling inferior and anxious.
Because they can all see that after staying in the Ba tribe for half a year to raise and give birth to children, their own great witch has become completely different. Not only is he more beautiful, but also more confident, and he is also deeply concerned by His Majesty the Witch King. He always makes a group of people look after him.
The woman protects her in the middle and prevents her from being frightened or offended.
In the next two days, Xu Chen took the witches and little witches of the Pi tribe and others to inspect the settlements of various tribes near the royal city. They exchanged detailed information about this year's autumn harvest and next year's production and living arrangements, and also allowed each tribe to watch.
Let’s get to know your son first.
Wherever Xu Chen and others went, they would inevitably arouse warm cheers from various tribes and entertain them with various kinds of food and fish.
So after Xu Chen spared no effort to show off his son for two consecutive days, the name of the baby named Zilong resounded throughout dozens of tribes on both sides of the Jicang River.
In the midst of this bustle and joy, the Bameng tribe who came overland, the Gonghuo tribe around the Gonghuo Basin, and the Yugong tribe on the other side of the river also came in groups, raising flags and honking horns.
There are still two days before the Witch Lords Conference, and all the tribes except the rich and poor have gathered together.
But this year, there is no need to prepare a unified garrison on the river beach.
Because all the tribes of the four major ethnic groups have their own settlements around the royal city, as well as large and small houses and courtyards.
Although the conditions seemed relatively simple, it looked much better than in previous years when more than 2,000 people gathered together and set up various tents to sleep together.
Each tribe gathered in its own ethnic area, and the total number of people exceeded 3,500.
This is already nearly half of the current population of the five major ethnic groups.
In other words, during the Wu Zhu Conference, the area of Gonghuo Basin, which was only five miles up and down, actually had half of the entire population of Bamong. It must be said that this was the most lively event in history.
After arriving in Gonghuo Basin, Xu Chen was worried about the safety of the Pi tribe witch and her children, so he did not let her live in his own tribe, but continued to live in the Ba tribe.
Because the Ba people’s yards are larger and more spacious, and their food, clothing, and housing conditions are better.
The Pi witch has lived in the Ba tribe for half a year, and has actually become familiar with the Ba tribe and is like a family.
During the time when she was raising her baby, she was not idle. She followed Xu Chen and the little witch to learn all the contents of the Witch King's Dictionary, learned simple operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and learned to weave, farm, cut, and sew.
Clothing, skills in making salted eggs, pickles, wine making and various Ba delicacies.
In fact, today's Pi tribe witches not only become more mature and plump due to adequate nutritional supplements and adequate food and clothing every day, but also the accumulation of cultural knowledge and changes in various living habits are the biggest changes.
It can be said that in the past six months, the witch of the Pi tribe has completely changed. From the original witch who lived in a cave and was terrified of being killed by Xu Chen and others, she has completely transformed into a person who can read, write and calculate, and can also do some things.
A new age witch with simple medical knowledge and various productive life skills.
Only the longer they stay among the Ba people and the longer they are in contact with the Ba people, the more outsiders will understand the reason why the Ba people are so powerful.
As long as there is Xu Chen, the Ba people cannot be surpassed.
Because as long as he thinks about it, there are countless creativity and inventions every day.
In addition to wisdom, he also possesses a quality that no man of this era possesses, that is, his meticulous and gentle concern, care and love for women, children and the elderly.
It is precisely under his subtle influence that the living atmosphere of the Ba people is completely different from that of all tribes. It is full of peace, tranquility and enthusiasm, and is constantly progressing and developing every day.
The most profound impact on the witches of the Pi tribe is the completely different management and distribution methods adopted by the Ba tribe after the division. It seems that the internal strength of the entire Ba tribe has been completely activated, and everyone is full of vitality, including all the children.
She couldn't understand this special education method in kindergarten and primary school at first, but gradually she understood it and was shocked. If the Ba people continued to develop like this, she couldn't imagine how it would develop in the future.
How incredible it would be for a tribe where everyone can read, write, calculate, and make various utensils.
Before she was taken to the Ba tribe, she always thought that bronze vessels were the most incredible magical artifacts invented by the Ba tribe. But until she saw this huge wooden boat being built, all she had left in her heart was worship.
After coming to Gonghuo Basin this time and seeing the production and living conditions of other tribes, she already knew that the power of the Ba tribe would be eternal. No tribe can compare with it. They can only imitate and catch up, and cannot be surpassed. .
As for her own tribe, she was a little ashamed.
If the Pi tribe wants to develop and grow in the future, it must follow in the footsteps of His Majesty the Witch King.
The birth of this child will also make the Pi and Ba tribes become the most closely related ethnic groups, and no force can separate them.
From now on, she will no longer be just the great witch of the Pi tribe, but should shoulder the responsibility of leading and guiding the development of all tribes, and assist His Majesty the Witch King Zuo in accomplishing his goals.
Once the construction of this grand royal city in front of her was completed, she couldn't even imagine how prosperous Gonghuo Basin would be in the future.
Because she saw dozens of tribes gathered in front of her, with houses and farmland adjacent to each other on both sides of the river, connected by pontoons on the river, docks, boats and rafts connected, and various workshops and kilns scattered around. She was completely fascinated by the bustling atmosphere. This chapter has been completed!
