Grad is a carefree boy. He is very naughty and the most naughty one in the tribe. He is twelve years old and lives in a Celtic tribe. He likes to go to the seaside and overlook the distance to escape from hard work.
.
In this era, the twelve-year-old already needs to do farm work. There are no cattle or horses in the tribe, so they can only use manpower. Their tribe is close to the sea. It is said that their ancestors crossed the sea to this island called 'Great Britain' and conquered the island.
The savage became the master of this land.
Now Rome is still rising, so Great Britain is still ruled by the Celts. Of course, more Celts live on the Western European continent, all over France, Germany and other regions, but these places are only barbarians in this era, and the Celts
In this era, humans were one of the three barbarians, and the Mediterranean region was the birthplace of European civilization.
Grad naturally didn't know this. He knew that the farthest distance was another tribe that took two days to walk. Unless they were trading in the winter, the compatriots in the tribe would not go there. They usually farmed and hunted to be self-sufficient.
Today Grad also ran to the beach as before. He was mainly lazy. The sun was warm and comfortable. This is how people should live. He didn't want to work all day long like his parents, brothers and sisters.
Grad is the youngest child in the family, and it is precisely because of this that he has the opportunity to be lazy.
"You are indeed here, why are you lazy again?" Just as Grad was daydreaming, a young Celtic girl found him.
They all wore simple linen clothes and were barefoot. Obviously, there was no concept of children's clothing in this era. Their clothes were also made from adult clothes. They were not pretty and were just wrapped in two pieces of cloth.
There is no difference between boys' and girls' clothing, only their hairstyles.
"Mis, aren't you lazy too?" Grad said to the freckle-faced girl. They are neighbors and everyone is familiar with her. She is lazy, but the girl also doesn't like to work and always picks on her.
In the name of laziness.
"Hehe, who told you to be lazy? I have a reasonable excuse." After that, Misi also lay down and leaned against the stone: "The sun is really comfortable."
They are all playful at this age, so it is no wonder that they always try to escape from the heavy work. Moreover, the living environment here is obviously much better than in the American rainforest. They can farm without fear of wild beasts.
Just when the two teenagers were about to fall asleep, Grad suddenly opened his eyes because he saw something emerging from the skyline little by little. At first there was just a little bit, but then slowly something bigger appeared.
"Mis, look, what is that?" Grad asked Mi Si to look at it together.
Mi Si's eyes widened: "It looks like a boat." They all saw boats, but what they saw was just a small sampan floating in the lake, not a huge thing on the sea.
Both of them had very good eyesight. By the time the fleet came over, they were completely confused. They had no idea what this thing was. Instinct made them hide behind the rocks, although they didn't know why they were hiding.
"We'd better go back and tell the adults." Mi Si was a little nervous.
Grad swallowed his saliva and thought to himself, "Let's go!"
This was no longer something that children could judge. The two children kicked off their feet and ran back.
The people in the tribe were still wondering why the two children came back so quickly today. Didn't they have to wait for dinner every time before? And they seemed to be in a panic.
"It's not good, it's not good!" Gram shouted as he ran, attracting all the people working in the fields.
Especially Gram's family, they thought something had happened to their youngest member.
"What's wrong? Did someone bully you, or did you encounter a wild animal?" Gram's brother rushed over and asked.
"No, not at all. There is a ship on the sea, a big ship."
A ship on the sea? Everyone in the tribe looked at each other, could it be from the other side? There will be some ships that wander here, but the crew members are basically not good people and often rob things. Of course, if the crew members are too weak, they will also be robbed by the tribe.
However, this does not happen often for several years. Pieces of the ship will wash up on the sea from time to time, and occasionally there will be some intact utensils that can be taken home.
"Let's go together." The people of the tribe were ready to go out in full force, all holding farm tools, mostly stone tools. It was obvious that the tribe's economic conditions were average.
Everyone was stunned when they arrived at the shore. They were prepared, but they didn't expect the boat to be so big and completely different from what they had seen before.
Most of the Mediterranean ships of this era were equipped with sails and manpower. There was no problem in traveling freely in the Mediterranean with less wind and waves, and there was no problem in occasionally sailing to the British Isles, because the narrowest part of the English Channel is only 34 kilometers, even with human power.
It doesn't take long to arrive.
Therefore, the ships of this era are really not as big as building ships. Their huge size makes the tribesmen feel timid even if they are far away on the sea.
"Something is coming." They saw several small boats coming from the huge fleet.
Cai He had already discovered that the crowd of onlookers on the coast seemed to be better than the savages in the New World. At least they were wearing clothes, although many of them were barefoot.
When Cai He saw so many people suddenly appearing, he knew that they lived nearby, so he was not anxious when he saw some people dispersed. Anyway, they had pointed the direction and would log in first. At the same time, Cai He also said that he was lucky.
, you can always meet people by chance. Dulan said that these places are vast and sparsely populated, and you might not meet anyone even if you walk for a few days, but Cai He doesn't need much time to meet locals every time.
Of course, Cai He didn't know that he had not reached the European continent yet, this was just the island of Great Britain.
After arriving on the shore, Cai He found that all the onlookers had disappeared. The fear of the unknown drove the tribesmen to go back and hide the valuable things at home, for fear that they would be robbed, and they would go into the woods again.
Hiding for three to five days is not a problem. They feel that as long as there is nothing in the tribe for the tourists from the sea to snatch, the uninvited guests will leave.
The people of the tribe are really afraid of strangers who make a lot of noise. You must know that in this era, you are still an individual in your tribe. If you are captured and made a slave, it will be terrible, so you must be careful.
Seeing all this, the clairvoyant said that the people in this place seemed to be afraid of his group of people who came from the sea. Seeing that they even hid wooden sticks, he couldn't help but said: "It seems that we are richer than them, and we seem to be coming to rob."
Are they one of them?"
"Don't blame them. It's better for them to be afraid of us than to have evil intentions towards us." Cai He was not in a hurry. He set up camp first and then went to find people to trade with them. They should gradually eliminate their hostility.
Cai He already had experience, so he took his time.
The entire tribe hid in the forest, leaving behind an empty tribe, thatched houses and crops that had not yet grown on the ground. Not even a chicken feather was left for Cai He and his party.
After Cai He entered the village, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These people are really powerful. Of course, it can be said that they moved all their belongings in one move.
Forget it, take your time. Cai He left a small bag of grain in every thatched house in the village, hoping that they would understand that they were not enemies when they came back.
However, Cai He didn't know how long these people would have to hide, so he first sent people on horses to check out other tribes along the vague dirt road. As scouts, people have martial arts skills at their disposal. Generally, it is not a problem to kill ten.
