Chapter 24 I just want to isolate myself from the country
The leader of the Donghe tribe [Grandma] came outside the temple to thank him.
She also euphemistically expressed the tribe's wishes: they are a branch of the Donghai clan, and although they are in a difficult situation, they cannot violate the clan's belief in praying to the gods no matter what.
Winter came extremely early and was colder than ever before. The vast East River was actually frozen.
This has no effect on the Garlic Tribe.
Now the tribe has sufficient and balanced food, including this year's bumper harvest of wheat, potatoes, garlic, and salted fish and meat.
In addition, as houses have been gradually transformed into wooden houses, their ability to withstand wind and rain has been greatly enhanced, and they are also warmer than in the past.
The most important job of the Garlic Tribe in winter is to cut down trees and go to the forest to find wood for heating and storage.
Heavy snowfall for many days in a row covered the entire tribe with a thick layer of white, and the ditches were frozen. Because it was so cold, even some birds and rabbits came to the tribe to look for food.
On this day, people from the Donghe tribe walked across the ice carrying bags.
The cold winter forced them to dismantle the boat and use it to light fires for warmth. Fishing also became dangerous and difficult, and the freezing conditions prevented them from breaking through the ice to go to warmer waters.
The last sea monster died underwater, but they did not give birth to new sea monsters.
Due to hunger and cold, more than a dozen members of the Donghe tribe had died of cold and illness. They had to give up their traditions and come to the land to find a way to survive.
[Grandmother] took several female captains and knelt outside the temple, praying to the gods to forgive them for their previous rudeness.
Lu Yao did not make things difficult for them anymore and asked Isabel to help them as he promised before.
The situation is stronger than human beings, so we need to eat.
Besides, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Lu Yao needs the Donghe tribe. They can provide water routes and contain the Yanchi tribe.
As the actual leader of the Garlic Tribe, the Prophet received the Donghe Tribe very kindly. Since the days were too short in winter, it was too late to build houses, so the Garlic Tribe set aside some houses for them to live in.
After rescuing the Donghe tribe, something happened to the Garlic tribe that Lu Yao had never expected.
In this winter, the Donghe tribe suddenly gave birth to many babies.
Lu Yao slapped his forehead when he saw it.
Too careless!
The Donghe Tribe is interested in these strong men from the Garlic Tribe!
In the tribal period, there was no concept of marriage, let alone monogamy, and everyone was very open-minded and open-minded. Today I will go to your house, and tomorrow you will go to hers, and we will raise the children together.
This is almost the case.
These new babies from the Donghe tribe are both boys and girls, but none of them turned into sea monsters, they were all normal babies.
[Grandma] acted very panicked.
"God of prayer, great God of prayer, are you still unwilling to forgive the tribe? We have never forgotten your gift. We have been working hard to breed sea monsters and offer you leather."
"Why did you leave us... Pray to God, please protect your people in a foreign land again!"
Of course, these prayers were of no use.
The women of the Donghe tribe still have not given birth to a sea monster.
In this regard, Isabel made a detailed investigation and came to a conclusion: the so-called Donghe tribe women gave birth to sea monsters not because of abnormal physical constitution, but because of the totems praying to gods.
The prayer totem has a special fire of faith that will transform newly born baby boys. The fire of faith will enter the bodies of these sea monster boys, using their lives and reason as fuel, and after burning, it will condense into a layer as thick as the sea monster's body.
Thick leather. These leathers can be transformed into the power of faith again through special sacrifices.
To put it simply, sea monsters are a living crop of faith.
The totem sows the fire of faith in the baby's body, turning it into a sea monster, which is raised by the Donghai tribe. Finally, the sea monster skin is sent back to the Donghai clan in exchange for the protection of the god-praying totem.
Lu Yao was not particularly surprised by this result.
As he became more and more familiar with the simulator, he already knew that every god in this pixel world did all kinds of things to gain more faith.
The amount of belief is directly related to the strength of the god's power.
Faith is the primary productive force of God.
Because he is a god, there are no taboos.
Any action done by the gods will be beautified, and will be blindly followed and understood by believers. At least in the tribal civilization stage, no one will question the greatness and correctness of the gods.
The so-called devil is just a name given by gods to heretics.
…
After losing their totems, sea monsters and ships, the Donghe tribe is a very weak group on land.
As leaders, both [Grandma] and the female captain were very worried and panicked.
However, the vast majority of Donghe tribe women are immersed in the simple happiness of having enough to eat and clothing. After becoming neighbors with the Garlic tribe, they put on woolen winter clothes, ate wheat and potatoes, and never looked back at night.
Don't worry about not having firewood for heating.
Especially after giving birth to babies, they spend most of their time taking care of these next generation little lives.
Because these children belong to the two tribes, the Garlic tribe also spared no effort to provide food and supplies, allowing the women of the Donghe tribe to survive this winter without any difficulty.
When winter was coming to an end, [Grandma] left with the Donghe tribe and returned to the boat island in the Donghe River.
They left behind most of the babies. This is because the Garlic tribe is undoubtedly a more prosperous and stable tribe and is more suitable for raising young children than the Donghe tribe.
So the garlic tribe ushered in the first baby boom.
Lu Yao counted them deliberately.
There were a total of 34 more babies this winter, accounting for nearly 1/10 of the total population of the Garlic tribe.
He was beaming as he counted.
Be sure to remember to come again next winter.
Against this backdrop of everything going well, the Yanchi tribe made an unharmonious sound.
The Yanchi tribe sent a group of people to have serious negotiations with the prophet.
"Garlic Tribe has always been our partner, and we have always given Garlic Tribe the best deal price for the salt we supply."
"But the Garlic Tribe bypasses us and trades with the dangerous Donghe Tribe. This is unwise. It seriously disrupts the trading market and affects the interests of the entire Yanchi Tribe. So you must stop this behavior and do something to us.
Compensate accordingly.”
"Another thing is that the price of salt in the outside world is constantly rising, and all tribes are short of salt, so we need to increase the price."
"Of course, if the Garlic Tribe is willing to trade a large amount of wool, we can also make some concessions at our discretion."
In the past, they would still make some pretentious remarks, but now they have no idea.
The Yanchi tribe relies on the monopoly of salt and its access to the outside world.
The prophet answered firmly this time: "These are unacceptable to the Garlic Tribe and there is no room for negotiation. We welcome any cooperative friends, but we will never accept threats."
"Stupid savage!"
"You will regret it!"
"The Salt Pond Tribe no longer considers you friends!"
The Yanchi tribe left in a hurry and went into the mountains to the west.
Lu Yao pointed out the earthquake in [Miracle] and selected the mountains bordering the Garlic Tribe in the west. As the miracle came, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the huge rocks on the mountains continued to roll down.
【earthquake】!
【earthquake】!
【earthquake】!
Under the impact of a total of 4 earthquakes, a large area of the mountain was collapsed, the edges of the mountains were littered with rubble, and the passage between the Garlic Tribe and the Salt Pond Tribe was completely cut off.
The little people of the Yanchi tribe who were in the mountains fell into panic.
"It's finished, the channel is cut off!"
"This trade route is broken, and goods can no longer be transported from here."
"The loss is too great!"
"My wool, my garlic!"
Lu Yao clenched his fists.
Want to play with economic sanctions?
My buddy started it first.
Do you understand what is meant by seclusion?
Thank you for supporting the abandoned key with 1500 starting coins.
