From Chief to Ball

Almost after saying these words, he fainted on the back of the horned deer. The wild people didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly brought him back to the city.

The clansmen in the city don't know what happened, did they win?Still lost?Why did the civet cat come back by itself?What about the rest?

The wild man who brought him said: "He said that if he was still asleep, he would wake him up with burning coals."

The clansmen looked at Lancao one after another, and Lancao looked at the already weak and disfigured civet cat, feeling distressed, but still gritted his teeth, pulled out the hairpin, and gently stuck it on his lover's tiger's mouth.

But the first time it was too light, the civet cat was sleeping very hard, she was cruel and stabbed it hard, then pulled it out and held the civet cat's hand.

The civet cat woke up, with red eyes, looked at the astonished and anxious clansmen, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "We won, we won!"

The last trace of uneasiness dissipated from the hearts of the clansmen, and excited shouts echoed throughout the city. The civet cat grabbed the elm money next to it and said: "Your brother asked me to tell you, prepare 200 people to eat food for ten days along the river. Send it. Some enemies have escaped, and everyone must come to stay in the city and not be allowed to go out. There is not enough food and milk..."

Before he finished speaking, the civet cat felt that his mouth seemed to be still moving, and it seemed that he didn't move any more. It was dark in front of his eyes, as if he heard the worried shouts of his tribe, and seemed to see the sunset that he had been chasing for the past two days.

With the last of his strength, he opened his mouth, thinking that he had finished speaking, but in fact he just opened and closed his mouth, and finally there was no sound, and he passed out.

Yu Qian'er looked at the panicked crowd and said, "Don't be chaotic, my brother told us not to go out, no one can attack the city. Go to a few people, inform those wild villages, and let them take Food and women come to the city. Half of the women will be dedicated to breastfeeding the children, and the rest of the women will hand over the children to them, and we will prepare food. A few people will come to take care of the civet cats and let Lancao go back to the house. She is still pregnant. child."

She recalled her courage when she built the house, and she knew in her heart that it would be impossible to mess up at this time. Since her brother made her responsible, she must not spoil her brother's affairs.

Habitually tugging at my braids, thinking what else should I pay attention to, what else has my brother taught me?

"By the way, ask someone to boil water, put salt in it, and give it to the civet cat to drink. My brother said that he should drink salt water when he faints. Add honey to the salt and feed it to him."

"He's so cold."

"Catch a female slave and let her warm the civet cat's body. Sister Lancao is still pregnant with a child, so she can't catch the cold."

Several women prepared according to what she said, and some people looked at the slightly yellowed wheat field outside and sighed: "Now the wild deer and sheep like wheat beans the most, and many people need to drive them away every day, and they all retreat to the city." Li, when we go out again, I'm afraid... I'm afraid there won't be much left."

It wasn't just that one person who sighed so much, most of the tribe knew what it would be like if no one drove the deer away. Looking at the stretches of wheat fields, their hearts felt like a knife was twisted.

The closer you are to maturity, the more painful it will be to destroy it.Wild deer love this sweet grass, and prefer the dense peas that, left unguarded, can eat them all in a few days.

Looking at her favorite, neat wheat field, Yu Qian'er gritted her teeth and said, "If the wheat field is gone, you can plant it again. If there are no people, there will be nothing. My brother said he wanted to protect the tribe, but he didn't tell me to protect the wheat! I just listen to him."

Just when Yu Qian'er finished speaking, a weak female voice came.

"I have a way to protect the wheat and prevent those people from approaching."

Chapter 59 Freedom Road

Yu Qian'er followed the prestige and found that the speaker was Hong Yu, a slave who had been freed for a short time because of spinning.

Red Fish took a deep breath, knowing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Only when she was useful to this tribe could she be one step closer to true freedom—and the true freedom she thought of was to have a spinning wheel of her own.Freedom without productive tools is false, but now is not the time to put conditions.

Looking at the crowd, he said with the air of divination on a tiger skin in the past: "Go to the lower reaches of the river and light a fire, burn the woods, and animals and people can't get close until it rains. But Jian and the others have boats, sticking to the river bank. Something will happen."

While Yu Qian'er was still thinking about it, a woman next to her shouted, "How can I do that? You can never burn the woods!"

"Yeah, it's always been that way."

This is the rule and wisdom that has been handed down all the time. If the forest is burned, the animals will escape and the fruit will not be picked.After the children of each tribe learned how to use fire, the first thing the leader taught them was to put out the fire in the wild. The forest is the place they depend on for survival.

Red Fish smiled and shook his head and said: "When our tribe eats fish, we always cut the fish into small pieces. This is the first wisdom that every woman who learns to cook fish learns from her mother. But this wisdom is in your hands. It's useless. Because your pots are big enough to hold a whole fish, and we can't make pots that big."

"It has always been like this, and it may not be right. Look at the wheat beans outside. If they are harvested, do we still need to eat acorns? The woods used to be a guarantee for our survival, but now they are not. Now, everything has changed."

"Firewood can be obtained from the upper reaches of the Grass River and lowered along the Grass River. We are burning the woods in the lower reaches of the Grass River. Once the fire is burning, no one can go through the fire. As long as it doesn't rain, the fire can buy us time. Those deer will also flee in panic and leave here instead of coming to eat our wheat beans."

When others are still thinking about the pros and cons and want to overcome the thinking brought about by habits, Yu Qian'er has already made a decision. This is indeed a good way.

She suddenly understood the words that the old grandmother used to say: everything has changed, and the wisdom of the past is no longer wisdom.

It used to be necessary to live in a cave, it was necessary to have sex in spring, it was necessary to throw away the internal organs of animals...everything in the past has long since changed.

"Let all the men in the city come and ride horned deer to set fire to the woods downstream of the Caohe River. The fire has been burning from the Caohe River to the mountain. The wind blows from here to the downstream, so it can't burn us. "

She glanced at Hongyu, nodded and said: "You are very good, how can I reward you? Wait for my brother to come back and discuss it with the clansmen."

Red Fish lowered his head, and the aura of divination that he used to sit on the tiger skin disappeared, and he slowly backed away.

……

Three days later, the banks of the lower reaches of the Grass River.

Chen Jian looked anxiously at the fire burning in the west, wondering what happened. The pungent smell of smoke drifted over from a long distance, and the fire could be seen at night.

The food has also run out, and it takes too much time to stop fishing, and the moving speed is only twenty or thirty miles a day, which is too slow.

Amid the restlessness, several small birch bark boats floated down from the upper reaches, shouting at Chen Jian from a distance.

The anxious clansman shouted excitedly, there must be food on the boat, and the people who came would also bring news from the village. The only thing that surprised them was, how could the civet cat run so fast?

The auxiliary soldiers dragged the boat ashore, and the people on it found Chen Jian.

"Why is there a fire over there?"

"Yuqian'er and the woman named Hongyu asked us to burn it, saying that it would prevent people from rushing over and prevent deer from eating wheat beans."

"it is good!"

Chen Jian couldn't help clapping his hands. This is really a good idea. The forest fire is a natural barrier. Luo Xing and others can cross the swamp, but they can't cross the sea of ​​fire. As long as they hold on until they go back, all problems will be solved.

The man went on to say: "There is not much food on board. Yuqian'er said it was good enough for 200 people to eat for a day. There is still food in the city, and Yuqian'er will send a little every day. Otherwise, you will have to carry food on your back. Go slower."

Chen Jian smiled and nodded, "This method is very good."

"Yes, the old grandmother and Shitou both praised her."

"How about the tribe? How did you know the news so quickly?"

"The clansmen are alright. The raccoon came back after running for less than three days. It is now sick. The wheat beans are growing well now, and you can smell a scent of flowers from a long distance. The peas are entwined on the wheat, and the wheat It didn't fall either."

"That's good."

The person who came turned around and asked, "Where are our injured people?"

"There is another tribe over there. I put the injured ones with them. They will die on the way back from such a long distance. After harvesting the wheat beans, go pick them up and give them some wheat beans."

He didn't explain any more, and signaled the clansmen who were punting and fishing on the river to come back, boil water for food now, and rush back as soon as possible.

The clan members who had food were boosted, knowing that the family was fine, and the last bit of worry dissipated. After eating, they drove the prisoners of war and walked quickly along the river bank.

Chen Jian also took back the broken scouts. At such a long distance, the moth tribe would no longer follow them. This is the territory of his own tribe, so he can go boldly.

After walking through the scorched woods and crossing the villages of wild people, when they approached the city again, the whole team was stunned.
