Chapter 824: The spring that breeds war (three in one)
He didn't dare to make any more tree barks about the fire kang. He almost roasted the leader of the Blackstone Tribe, and the ensuing beating that left a deep impression on him made him deeply afraid of making a fire kang.
Although Shubi has considered killing the leader of the Blackstone Tribe or the rest of the Blackstone Tribe, he does not dare to take action now.
When people do many things, especially those that are very important and are likely to be doomed if they fail, it is not easy to muster the courage once, and many times, once the courage is worn away,
, it will be even more difficult to muster up such courage.
That night, the bark was beaten like that, and it didn't finally explode. Now that the injuries on his body have healed, it's really difficult to muster up that kind of courage again.
But besides building a fire pit and killing the leader of the Blackstone Tribe, Bark has other things to do.
At this time, the tree bark was squatting on the ground. In one hand, he was holding a stone with a sharp edge that could be used as a cutting tool. In the other hand, he was holding a thick wooden stick.
Chopping and smashing.
He was preparing to re-create a bow that could shoot farther than the bow he usually used before.
After making this bow, he did not use it himself, but gave it to the leader of the Blackstone Tribe.
Bark has already decided, and he must show more surrender in the future.
The reason why he made such a decision was that the beating he received was so severe this time that he felt more fearful and wanted to do better and avoid being beaten as little as possible in the future.
On the other hand, it was because just a few days ago, he suddenly learned a piece of news.
This news is very good. Why did the people of the Blackstone tribe attack the tribe where they originally lived?
At the beginning, Shupi thought that things were just like what the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe said. The evil Blackstone Tribe had discovered his tribe, and then wanted to come over and kill him and others, and destroy his tribe's hard work.
All the food that came to him was taken away, and he and others were even eaten as food.
Because the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe informed him of the news in advance, his tribe was prepared. When the Black Stone Tribe attacked his tribe for the first time, he was repulsed by his own tribe, so the bark of the Blue Flower Tribe was always hostile to the Blue Flower Tribe.
The leader and the people of the Blue Flower tribe have a good impression.
But two days ago, he learned from the chats among the Blackstone Tribe that the evil Blackstone Tribe didn't even know about the existence of his own tribe.
The reason why they marched directly towards their own tribe and came to attack their own tribe was because the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe told the people of the Black Stone Tribe how rich their tribe was and how much they could get after conquering it.
He also very considerately told the evil Blackstone Tribe the location of his tribe.
After confirming that these were true, Shupi immediately began to doubt life.
The primitive woman who burrowed through the grass with him was strong and looked so beautiful. How could she act so viciously?
When she got into the grass with herself and told herself that the evil Blackstone tribe was coming to attack her tribe, she seemed to be very kind!
Having been betrayed, now that Bark knew the truth, he almost shed tears.
Before, he had never thought that a person could be so vicious and do things like this!
The feeling of being deceived is very uncomfortable, especially for primitive people with a relatively straightforward temperament.
As much as she was grateful to the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe before, the resentment she felt towards her now was as strong as the bark's resentment.
This kind of resentment far exceeds even the leader of the Blackstone Tribe who led his men to destroy their tribe, captured them, and even beat them up if nothing happened.
Of course, part of the reason for this is that the Black Stone Tribe is too powerful, and the bark has become afraid of them and does not dare to attack them, so it transfers part of its hatred to the relatively weak Blue Flower Tribe.
The tree bark didn't know that the persimmons were soft when pinched, but after being beaten many times, and with the emergence of the Blue Flower Tribe, the bark naturally chose to follow the heart...
After thinking about it for several days, Shupi came up with this method and made this decision.
He wanted to show his greater surrender so that the leader of the Blackstone Tribe and the people of the Blackstone Tribe would accept him, and then allow him to use weapons such as bows and arrows.
In this case, he can kill the leader of the Orchid Tribe!
I have to say that hatred or hardship are sometimes the best teachers and can teach people a lot of things.
Of course, the price is too high, the process is too painful, and the sequelae are relatively large.
But no matter what, after experiencing so many things, Shubark did think of a way to deal with the leader of the Bluegrass Tribe...
In a cave covered with ice and snow, the female leader of the grass tribe was sitting there, holding a fish on a branch and slowly roasting it on the fire.
As time goes by, the originally frozen hard fish slowly softens and emits a rich fragrance.
After the fish was grilled, the female leader of the Grass Tribe ate two, and then gave the remaining smaller one to a male primitive sitting not far from her.
Seeing this male native eating grilled fish, the female leader of the Grass Tribe showed a smile on her face.
This male primitive man turned out to be a member of the tribe where Shubari belongs. Because he was the first person to make a fish cage in the Grass Tribe, his status in the Grass Tribe has been greatly improved, and now there is even a hint of a woman.
The trend of being the first person under the leader.
This can be seen from eating food.
For example, now, the female leader of the Grass Tribe does not grill fish during the usual meals, and the quantity of grilled fish is not large. In other words, these grilled fish are eaten as snacks.
In the entire grass tribe, apart from the female leader, the only one who can eat is this male primitive!
In this era, those who can bring food to the tribe will naturally achieve a relatively high status. This is the same as in later generations, the person who can make the most money will generally have a too low status in the family.
Therefore, no one in the grass tribe felt anything wrong with the fact that this male primitive man ate the fish that the leader had grilled himself, and soon went deeper into the cave with the leader...
The Blue Flower Tribe, which is relatively south of the cave and is closer to the tribe where the original bark is located, is also surrounded by ice and snow.
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe was sleeping not far from the fire.
Although I say I am sleeping, I am not actually asleep, I am just in a state of half-awake and half-asleep.
The cold and hunger made her sleep uneasy, but she had to sleep, because only sleeping could make her feel less clear about hunger to the greatest extent.
There is still food stored in the tribal cave, but the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe does not dare to eat at this time, because there is not much food stored in the cave. If he does not save food, many people in the tribe may
I can't survive this winter.
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe was lying here, half awake and half asleep, thinking about his previous life.
In the past, the life of their tribe was not so difficult.
At that time, the winter was not so cold or so long, and at that time, the cruel Black Stone Tribe had not yet been encountered. Whatever prey and fruits their tribe caught were all their own, and they did not have to pay to the cruel Black Stone Tribe.
I didn’t realize it before, but now that I think about it, I realize that the life we had before was really beautiful!
But now, that kind of life can no longer be lived.
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe was lying here, his whole body full of sadness.
I originally wanted to kill the evil Black Stone Tribe through the Bark Tribe, but I didn't expect that the seemingly powerful Bark Tribe was of no use. Instead, it was defeated by the evil Black Stone Tribe. The entire tribe was defeated.
Destroyed...
Just thinking about this matter makes the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe feel uncomfortable.
What made her feel even more uncomfortable was that when the evil leader of the Blackstone Tribe led his people and other tribes to destroy the tribe where Bark was located, they were not called because their tribe was far away from the Blackstone Tribe.
join.
So when the loot was distributed later, their tribe would not have a share.
At the beginning, the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe did not pay much attention to the Blackstone Tribe's behavior of handing out prisoners of war to those tribes who went to participate in the destruction of the Bark Tribe.
He even felt that if these prisoners of war who were not from the same tribe as his joined his tribe, it might make his tribe impure, or it would threaten the safety of other people in the tribe.
But now, the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe feels very regretful that he was not assigned to the prisoners of the Bark Tribe.
Because when she went to deliver food to the evil Blackstone Tribe in autumn, she found that the food given to the evil Blackstone Tribe by the tribes who had obtained prisoners of war from the Bark Tribe was very good and in large quantities.
What surprised her the most was that these tribes brought so much good food to the Blackstone tribe. Not only did they not feel any distress, but they were all very happy and seemed very relaxed.
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe is a relatively smart person. By asking these tribes, she learned that the prisoners of the Bark Tribe basically make two kinds of tools, one is called a bow and arrow, and the other is a fish cage.
No matter what kind of tool it is, it can help the tribe obtain sufficient food.
Of course the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe wants such a good thing. Their tribe needs these two tools so much!
It was a pity that the tribes who owned these tools only told her that they had such tools, but they refused to tell her anything about how to make and use these two tools.
This made the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe very distressed and angry.
"Gululu..."
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe protested once again, but she ignored it.
He turned over and changed from lying on his back to lying on his side, facing the direction of the fire.
She opened her eyes, which had been closed, and looked at the jumping flames. There was also fire dancing in her eyes.
Let the ice and snow melt quickly!
After melting, I and the people in the tribe will no longer have to suffer like this.
Because after the ice and snow melt, the temperature will become warmer, and you can also find some animals that have died of cold and starvation to satisfy your hunger.
Another important reason is that just this winter, she has already figured out how to get these two tools!
The way she came up with was to obtain these two tools through tree bark.
The entire tribe where Bark belonged was destroyed by the evil Blackstone Tribe, and even he himself became a prisoner of the Blackstone Tribe.
Bark's life in the Blackstone Tribe was not good. The last time the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe went to the Blackstone Tribe to deliver food, he saw Bark being beaten.
As for Shubark and the entire Shubark tribe, he is a good person to them. After all, when the Blackstone tribe wanted to attack them, he and his people told them in advance so that they could be prepared. Otherwise,
The first time, the tribe where Bark belonged might have been wiped out by the evil Blackstone tribe.
Under such circumstances, the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe felt that Bark would be very happy to tell him about this tool as long as there was a chance.
After all, at this time, Bark is no longer the leader of the Bark Tribe, but has become a slave, and the entire Bark Tribe no longer exists. There is no point in clinging to this.
As for whether the bark will know why the Blackstone tribe attacked their tribe, the leader of the Blue Flower tribe is not worried about this.
Because she felt that Bark, like the evil and cruel leader of the Blackstone Tribe, was a weak-minded person.
It's impossible for them to know what's going on here.
And since Shupi was captured, I saw him twice when I went to the Blackstone Tribe. The last time, Shupi smiled at me. How could this be what he should have done after discovering this matter?
What does it look like?
Moreover, even if Shubark really knows about this matter, the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe is not too worried, because she has strong self-confidence and can use her own methods to make Shubark not resent herself, but
To resent the evil Blackstone Tribe.
When it comes to using his brain, the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe has never surrendered...
The flames in the cave continued to burn, and the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe's heart felt like a ball of flames, beating constantly, to the point where she didn't feel hungry at all.
Come spring quickly! When spring comes, life will be better! You can get those two tools that can get a lot of food through the bark of the tree!
The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe stared at the flames in front of him, thinking expectantly...
Spring has really come.
Before you knew it, the thick ice and snow had melted, the frozen stream was clanging again, and the water in the river in front of the Qingque tribe was rising.
The turbid river water carried ice cubes and rolled all the way downstream.
If the ice in a river downstream has not yet melted, an ice dam may form there.
Ice blocks and river water collect here, causing the water level above the river to further rise.
It seems like it took a long time, and it seems like it was just overnight. Looking from a distance, the originally bare wicker branches are already covered with a hint of green.
The people of the Qingque tribe, who had been waiting for half the winter, went down to the ground with the prepared tools as soon as the ice and snow melted.
The hoe is raised and lowered, the shovel is stepped into the ground and lifted up again, and the moist soil has been turned over, exuding a unique fragrance.
"ha!"
"nest!"
"Lielie!"
The crisp sound of a leather whip tied with a red rope piercing the air, accompanied by the dealer's shouts, echoed in the early spring wilderness.
The donkeys and deer in the tribe, in response to the shouts, vigorously spread their hooves, pulled the plow, and turned up waves.
The vitality sealed in people's bodies seemed to be released as the ice and snow melted.
In the Tongshan residential area, under Shang's arrangement, several stoves that often raised smoke plumes have now stopped emitting smoke.
Except for Meng, the other ore diggers also stopped what they were doing and came to the spring fields together. They used soil-turning tools to start the most important spring plowing in the tribe.
After several years of production and manufacturing, today's Qingque tribe no longer has a huge demand for bronze as it did at the beginning.
Even if you stop refining copper ingots for a period of time, the existing copper ingots and various bronze tools that have been produced are basically enough for use.
Therefore, in response to this situation, as early as a year ago, Han Chenggong replaced Junior Brother Sha at Tongshan Station, stopped the production of copper and tin ingots during spring plowing and autumn harvest, and went all out to prepare for spring plowing and autumn harvest.
instructions.
After all, sufficient food is the foundation of a tribe.
From this point of view alone, it was very wise to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce in ancient times.
Of course, nothing is static. It was very useful in the beginning and was very suitable for the development of society at that time, which emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. As the times changed and society progressed, it slowly became a shackle that hindered transformation.
However, judging from the current situation of the Qingque tribe, there is nothing wrong with attaching importance to agricultural production.
As for suppressing business, Han Cheng would not do such a thing.
Because the tribe's current extremely primitive commercial trade is too fragile, Han Chengdu is a little worried that it will be discontinued at some point. It is too late to support it, so how can it be suppressed?
Moreover, he who came from later generations is not those ancient people.
He has a very sober and profound impression of the important role of business.
In the Qingque Tribe, Han Cheng was not lazy. After arranging work for the people in the tribe, he also rolled up his trousers and got down to the ground and devoted himself to the tribe's spring plowing...
About ten days after the Qingque tribe began to cultivate the land, spring pushed all the way from south to north and finally arrived in the Blue Flower tribe.
“#¥%@#……”
Outside the cave of the Blue Flower Tribe, the snow had become much thinner. The leader of the Blue Flower Tribe, who had lost a lot of weight over the winter, shouted with joy, and the rest of the Blue Flower Tribe also followed them.
The leaders cheered together.
Then, under the leadership of their leader, armed with rudimentary weapons, they left the cave where they had stayed for the whole winter, and walked towards the distance through the remaining snow.
After leaving the cave at a certain distance, these people dispersed within a certain range, their eyes like searchlights, scanning back and forth on the surrounding land.
When they see some small bulges, these people will quickly run over and use the multi-functional wooden sticks in their hands to pick away the remaining snow on these bulges.
What is covered under the snow may be rocks or tree lumps. If you are lucky, you can see some animals that died of freezing and starvation in winter.
Whenever they encounter these, the people of the Blue Flower Tribe will let out a burst of cheers, and then quickly pick up these animals, and they will no longer look like they are languid in winter.
Spring is really a magical season that makes people feel happy and full of energy.
"Zheng!"
"Attsu!"
Spring has also arrived in the Black Stone Tribe. The leader of the Black Stone Tribe held a newly made long bow in his hand. After attaching the feather arrow, he pulled it apart with both hands. After letting go, the feather arrow shot out.
, nailed to a somewhat rotten tree trunk from a distance.
This time, it went further than any arrow he shot before.
Looking at the arrow stuck in the tree stump in the distance, and then tugging hard on the bow in his hand, the leader of the Black Stone Tribe grinned widely.
Then he stretched out his hand and patted the head of Bark who was standing not far away and looked at him expectantly. The smile on Bark's face immediately became a little brighter. It seemed that he had hunted a lot more.
All prey should be happy.
The leader of the Blackstone Tribe was very satisfied with the performance of the bark. He took out two more feather arrows from the quiver made of folded bark and shot them out. He looked at another bow not far away and thought.
For a while.
This bow was originally made of tree bark, but because it had not been maintained and the bow had been bowed for too long, its toughness and elasticity were not as good as before.
Before the tree bark took out the carefully crafted new bow, this bow was still the best in the entire Blackstone tribe and the one that could shoot the farthest.
But now that he has this new bow, this old bow has immediately dropped to a lower level in the eyes of the leader of the Blackstone Tribe.
"¥%6d!"
After staring at the old bow for a while, he suddenly spoke to the tree bark standing nearby. After speaking, he pointed to the bow on the ground.
The meaning is obvious, that from now on, this bow, which originally belonged to the bark, once again belongs to the bark.
Bark, who had been waiting for the leader of the Blackstone Tribe to say these words, immediately became happy when he heard the words. He did not go to get the bow immediately, but first beat his chest hard, seriously expressing to the leader of the Blackstone Tribe that he would definitely
I will use this bow to get more food for the tribe and protect the tribe.
After seeing Bark's reaction, the leader of the Blackstone Tribe, who was already very happy, became even happier...
