Compared to the bustle of the river beach, not far away, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, you can see dots of firelight everywhere.
That is the flame burning in the fire pit in the cave where the Uzbek people live.
After the sun sets, a large number of Uzbek people have returned to their caves to eat and sleep.
But I missed this unique gourmet party.
Of course, it's not that they don't want to participate, but that the people of the Wu tribe have been informed by their clan leader that they are not allowed to have too close contact with the Ba tribe.
Because today the Ba people refused to share the methods of making pottery, cloth and bows and arrows, which made the chief very angry. However, due to the suppression of the great witch, the Ba people could not be driven away, so they decided not to see the Ba people.
From the beginning to the end, when the Ba tribe first arrived, the head of the Wu tribe brought some family leaders of the tribe to greet him, thinking that a warm reception would get the desired results, but he did not expect that a warm face but a cold butt would do no good.
I caught it, so I got angry and never showed up again.
At first, there were many Uzbek people setting up stalls and trading below, but when the sun went down, they all asked to go back.
Although the Uzbek tribe has many internal conflicts, the dignity of the Witch Lords Conference still needs to be taken into consideration. Moreover, as the largest tribe within a hundred miles, the pride of the Uzbek people also makes them disdain small tribes like Heba who do not care about the overall situation and are too humble.
So no one attended this unique and lively dinner.
Of course, they did not gain anything in the afternoon, that is, many people participated in learning how to weave baskets, twist ropes, and make straw sandals. Although it is impossible to master them all immediately, the skills have been mastered. They only need to be familiar with them for a while. These three simple things
I can definitely master all the tools gradually, and it will be a worthwhile trip.
The chief and the great shaman of the Wu tribe naturally learned about the situation at the foot of the mountain through the news brought back by the tribe, and finally figured out the method of weaving baskets, twisting ropes, and making straw sandals.
In a cave on the mountainside.
The fire pit in the center emits a faint firelight.
The great shaman wearing an animal skin was sitting around the fire pit with several tribesmen, weaving baskets, rubbing ropes, and making straw sandals. They occasionally exchanged a few words, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the silence.
The method is very simple, and once you figure it out, it's unbelievably simple.
In just over an hour, a few people slowly finished weaving a rattan basket and kneaded out a few bark ropes. Although the straw sandals were messy like a ball of rotten straw ropes twisted together, there were some after all.
He also knew the method, and he was no longer in a state where he had not made any progress after ten days of research.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
The great witch coughed lightly a few times, slowly finished one straw sandal, held it in his hand and looked at the straw sandals he had brought back from the Ba tribe, and finally a look of relief appeared on his old face.
"Wuga, Baga Wutu, Moxi Gaga?"
The leader of the Wu tribe had been sitting nearby, and at this moment he couldn't help but express his doubts angrily.
No picture, meaning unreasonable.
She asked the great witch why the Ba people rejected her proposal, but why they taught the experience of making these things at the foot of the mountain.
After Wu was silent for a long time, he slowly put down his straw sandals. He looked at the full moon rising outside the cave and listened to the chatter and laughter on the river beach in the night wind. His wrinkled cheeks trembled slightly, and he sighed and shook his head gently.
After explaining a few words, he stood up with a cane, and with the support of two girls, he went to his hut to sleep.
After half a day passed, she felt that she had roughly figured out what the Ba people were doing.
It’s not that they don’t want to share these novel things and technologies, but they are reluctant to bring them out under the oppression and advocacy of the Uzbek people.
This has a lot to do with the consistent style of the Uzbek people.
But the people in the tribe were completely unaware of it.
The chief of the Wu tribe has only been in office for more than a year. She is a young, promising and strong woman. She has received the support of a large number of tribesmen who want to expand their territory. Because of their strength, they cannot compete with the powerful tribe downstream, so they can only go to the river.
The territory of the Ba people in the upper reaches expanded.
There is a strong voice within the Uzbek ethnic group for annexing the Ba ethnic group, which is the weakest.
Because the Ba tribe is different from the other four tribes, they originally split from the Uzu tribe not long ago.
Therefore, in the eyes of most Uzbek people, the territory of the Ba people should have been the territory of the Uzbek people, but now it has been forcibly occupied, causing the Uzbek people to be trapped in the middle, unable to go up or down. As the population increases,
As resources become increasingly scarce, more and more people have this idea.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a primitive animal nature. With the advancement of human civilization, this nature will be infinitely amplified.
The Ba people are just right to start with, both in terms of strength and position.
Therefore, in the daily interactions between the two ethnic groups, the Wu ethnic group will inevitably have an aggressive attitude, which makes the Ba ethnic group feel disgusted.
Wu could see clearly, but she couldn't speak clearly.
She must maintain the unity of the tribal alliance from a fair and equitable standpoint, but she cannot forcibly deprive the tribe of its right to survive. The Uzbek tribe is indeed under a lot of pressure at the moment and has serious internal differences. She cannot suppress these things at all, and she is powerless.
To balance and resolve.
Although she is a great witch, the gods did not give her any guidance to solve the problem.
Therefore, she could only postpone this matter temporarily.
As for how long it will take, she has no answer.
As long as she doesn't die, the Uzbek and Ba people can still live in peace.
"Xiga!"
In the darkness, the old voice of the great wizard came.
So the chief of the Ba tribe and several other tribesmen could only go to sleep in their huts unhappily.
At the bottom of the mountain, the other four tribes who had eaten and drank enough at this time had already started singing and dancing around several bonfires in the moonlight. The sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling resounded throughout the empty valley.
Seeing the group of men and women wearing furs dancing wildly in front of him, Xu Chen sat beside the campfire and kept twitching his face.
This is a typical poor life.
After eating and drinking so much, it felt like eating chicken shit. I was so excited that I couldn't stop.
What's more, after just eating a few mouthfuls of porridge, how could I be so happy?
He couldn't figure it out, so naturally he didn't bother to think about it.
It was my first time to go on a long journey today. A group of people moved very quickly, as if they had collectively blessed the wind spell. It was estimated that the journey was at least thirty miles, and it took almost four hours to complete.
If it's a flat road, it won't be that fast. The problem is that there is no road at all, it's all tidal flats and wild ridges, making it harder to walk than a marching route in the wild.
Although he inherited a savage body with thick, rough skin and hairy soles, he felt as if he had been drained today because of hunger.
So I couldn't hold on until it looked like eight or nine o'clock now.
He decided to sleep.
But there was nothing on this bare river beach except weeds and rocks.
At this time, some savages who had not participated in the carnival were already lying down next to the bonfire and began to rest. The more sophisticated ones would pull some hay to make a nest, the older ones would take care of wrapping some animal skins, and the young and strong ones would just lie down.
I fell asleep directly on the ground with the cold night wind blowing.
Of course, since such large-scale lively exchanges are rare among tribes, it is inevitable that there will be some sparks of love between men and women, so some men and women danced, touched each other's buttocks, and went to work in the grass.
.
Therefore, amidst the merriment of howling ghosts and wolves, sometimes the sound of piling can be heard coming from the dark grass.
Because of the uniqueness of the Ba ethnic group, today the men of the Ba ethnic group are collectively favored by the women of the other three ethnic groups. Most of the more than ten men who came have disappeared for a long or short time in the middle of the commotion, and some have come before and after.
Disappeared several times.
Anyway, when they came back one by one, they either looked satisfied or walked in vain.
This kind of opportunity does not come around very often, and it is a rare and good opportunity for all men and women to have an affair.
Of course, the clan leaders won't care, as long as the children they give birth to belong to their own tribe.
Things like wild cooperation are not a moral issue, but a demand issue.
Xu Chen wanted to sleep, but he didn't want to sleep in the cold wind. He was full of slanders that the stingy Uzbek people were not even willing to provide a cave to sleep in. At the same time, he was constantly thinking of ways to solve the problem.
After thinking about it, I finally saw a pile of animal skins that had been exchanged for pottery and linen. I had an idea, so I asked Shang Gu and Ju to help, found ropes and a few branches, and started working.
At first, no one paid much attention to the actions of the three minors. They just thought they were bored and having fun. But as the three slowly built a simple animal skin tent, many people came around to watch in surprise.
.
So in the end, all the savages no longer caroused and danced, nor found a place to hang out in the grass nest. They all gathered around the bonfire and watched with their eyes wide open.
"alright!"
Xu Chen tied the last piece of animal skin with a rope, got in and lay down to try it out. He found that apart from a strong fishy smell, it was very comfortable and peaceful, and there was no wind at all.
"Sigh!"
All the savages onlookers saw their eyes bright and understood, and were completely conquered by this magical idea, so the savages from other tribes all howled and looked for a place to start setting up animal skin tents.
This tent is not big and low, and can barely sleep three people. Although it is uncomfortable, it is much better than sleeping directly in the cold night wind.
Of course, Xu Chen couldn't just sleep by himself. In order to show his good character of respecting the elderly, caring for the young and taking care of his female compatriots, he first asked his mother and two women to go in and rest first, and then he and the tribesmen found branches and ropes to continue building the tent.
The Witch Lords Conference was held in late autumn, and the most traded items were animal skins. Except for the Ba tribe, various tribes brought a lot of them, so there was no shortage of animal skins, but branches and ropes.
However, this was not a problem for a group of savages. They also brought a large number of long-haired sticks. They directly tied these long and short weapons into simple brackets with wild grass, trees and vines, and then covered the animal skins on them and tied them.
If the skin is not enough, you can just cover it with some leaves and dead grass. It won't rain anyway, you just need to keep out the wind.
So on the river beach late at night, the carnival and dancing were temporarily quiet for a while, and then started to get busy again with howling ghosts and wolves, and soon all kinds of strange animal skin tents began to appear on the river beach.
The Uzbek people living in the cave had no idea what was happening on the river beach. In the excitement and commotion one after another, they all lay down and tossed in the grass nests of their caves with great anger and depression until late at night.
The moon rose in the sky, and the voices below the mountain finally became quiet.
