From Chief to Ball

The matchlock is an open flame, it is easy to ignite the fuze, and they have to train their habits. After thinking about it, only two people can cooperate with this method. On the battlefield, one person is carrying a matchlock on his body, and the other teammate is carrying this unsafe Grenade, throwing with each other.

As for the kind of wide-brimmed hat, there is no need to consider it. One is that it affects throwing, and the other is that this era is not the age of flint hair. As long as it rains, it is impossible to fight. The bowstring will be wet and discipline is not enough. There is no need to consider the rainproof of the hat. question.

After seeing all this, Chen Jian waved his hand to let everyone sit down, and said solemnly: "None of you should speak out about today's incident, and you understand that the stone balls thrown by the sword and shield soldiers will be replaced by these Things, Yangguan and the towers of Xiacheng should also be prepared, do you think someone can take it down?"

"No, if we prepare a few thousand people, I think it will be impossible for thousands of people to attack. It would be better if we raise the city wall higher."

"Yes, we will definitely not tell others. We swear to our ancestors that if we tell the truth, we will be struck to death by lightning... No, no, we will be killed by this thing."

Several people turned their heads to look at the wicker basket in shock. The civet cat licked its dry lips due to excitement and asked, "This thing...is made of nitrate?"

"Yes, only a few of you know about the entire city, and there may be a few more people in the future, but that's all. Tanuki, you used to carry sword and shield soldiers. Tell me, can this thing work? "

"Sure! Think about it, this is thunder from the sky. Even if it doesn't kill you, those people will kneel on the ground and beg God. It's just... when will people in the city know about this thing? Those people They still don’t know what the stone throwing is for, and they are a bit tired of practicing it.”

"About next year, I called you here just to let you know that this thing...in fact, it's not lightning, it's just a weapon that my ancestors guided me in a dream. Thunder, mountains, rivers, these things Everything can be changed as long as we want to change, as long as we have the hands. Imagine, if our city piled up as many of these things as the cliff mountain, would the entire cliff mountain be blown up after being ignited?"

The raccoon cat imagined the scene with its eyes closed, nodded uneasily, and stretched out its hand to look at it for a long time. It couldn't believe that its hand now had the power to collapse mountains, but it seemed that what Chen Jian said was not wrong possible.

The rest of the people reflected on this sentence thoughtfully, looking at the sky and those clay pots, with a hint of excitement amidst trepidation.

When leaving, Chen Jian said: "After going back, someone asked you what you did today, what did you say?"

"We didn't see that Ji Xia really possessed the power of thunder and lightning."

Chen Jian smiled for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Stupid, just say you followed me to dig rocks. Everyone in the city knows that I like to dig rocks everywhere."

Bearing this lie in mind, the civet cat returned to the city, and as soon as he opened the door, Lancao asked him what he was doing today.

He blushed, this was the first time the two of them lied to her after the evening ceremony, he steadied his mind, and said in a weak mosquito voice, "I went looking for a stone with Ji Xia..."

Lancao didn't care at all, and before he could answer the question, the child cried and went to nurse the child. The civet cat felt very uncomfortable, and always felt like holding back a word, always wanting to tell Lancao what he saw today. The first time I ran back to report the embarrassment of being naked in my pants, I told Lancao...

After being bored for a long time, I ran to sit on the rock outside by myself. Because it was a little cold, the big rock that was very comfortable to sit on on weekdays became uncomfortable.

He jumped up resentfully, picked up a piece of gravel and smashed it hard at the huge boulder, but unfortunately the other party did not move, instead a piece of stone bounced back and hit his face, and several laundry women beside him burst into laughter.

So the civet cat said angrily: "I didn't mess with you before because I couldn't do it; now, I don't mess with you because I don't want to mess with you. Let alone you, I can smash even a cliff mountain!"

After yelling and cursing twice, after venting the uneasiness in my heart due to lying and the story I was holding back, I felt much more comfortable, snorted, turned around and left, leaving the women who did the laundry looking at each other in dismay.Finally, a woman thought of a possibility, and whispered something in the ear of the person next to her that the child should not hear. The person next to her thought it must be the reason, that's why the civet cat had such a temper today, and burst into laughter.

Chapter 36 I want to have a cabin

Jushi couldn't speak, so naturally he couldn't understand the deep meaning contained in the civet cat's words.What the civet cat saw in the valley not only gave him the courage to change mountains and rivers with his own hands, but also gave him a kind of admiration and extreme trust in Chen Jian.

It didn't come from the mysterious power. Chen Jian had already told them that it wasn't that he put the thunder and lightning in a jar, nor that he could control the lightning and thunder like the god of thunder.

"You must stand by Ji Xia's side at all times."

This is the conclusion that the civet cat came to after thinking all night. This conclusion is not a secret, so he woke up Lancao who was sleeping soundly, and said such a sentence without thinking, Lancao muttered: "Well, yes, but you go Point to the east, pressing my hair..."

He moved to the east, with his hands behind his head, unable to fall asleep.

Winter is coming soon, and the position of the city leader will have to be re-elected at that time. It is even possible that the council will agree to continue to have such a leader over their heads. Thinking about this, I can't help but feel a little worried.

Thinking of this, I can't help but think of the other two people who were chatting in Shitou back then.

"Song Xiaxueqian can't come back. When will the wolf skin come back? Jixia will definitely tell him these things. He is also in charge of animal husbandry, and there are a bunch of people from other tribes under his command. If he comes back sooner, he will get money I'm in charge of the food and goods, let's discuss it together... It's too troublesome to choose and choose, why don't we help out, so we don't have to choose in the future... Besides, whoever manages the wolfpielm money is no better than those leaders Many, why can they enter the council, but we can't? When we all enter the council, it will be useless even if someone opposes it..."

Thinking of this, I feel that no one can discuss these matters for the time being, and those who can be discussed are outside and have not come back, so I gritted my teeth and cursed: "Wolf skin, you are really stupid. You brought 30 people to chase so few escaped slaves, I’ve been chasing it for almost a month and still haven’t caught it! It’s going to snow if I can’t catch it!”

This gnashing of teeth is not so much anger as anticipation.

For the same person, the same thing, the same gnashing of teeth, that is real hatred. For example, those runaway slaves hiding in the mountains and forests hated the wolf skins chasing them from the bottom of their bones.

Of the seventeen people who fled back then, eleven were left. Three were killed by wolf cubs, two were wounded and left by themselves in order not to drag others down. They went to the forest to feed wild animals, and one was caught.

These eleven people have not collapsed so far because of their leader, 萑, which is a kind of cattail grass, which is abundant in the swamps in the nearby mountains and forests.

As the name suggests, one can never go wrong.

Xi took the rest of the people around the mountains for a long time. Fortunately, it was autumn and there were a lot of fruits to eat. At least they were safe before the snow fell. People can't hold it anymore.

In a remote cave, a small fire drove away the chill of late autumn, and one person held a handful of red Shanlihong to the people around the fire. Well, I’ve eaten something today, so if I stay here, I can share it with everyone to slow down my hunger in case I catch up.

He led these people around the Caohe River a few times. He couldn't swim before, but he saw people from Xiacheng setting up wooden rafts in the mine, so he also got some wood and took people across the Caohe River. .When the wolf skin chased him, he led the people back to the north bank of the Cao River and threw off the pursuers.

At the most difficult time, I was trapped on the top of the mountain, avoiding being caught by throwing stones down, and escaped from the back of the mountain by rubbing the bark with the rope ladder from Xiachengxue at night.

The most enjoyable time is to get rid of the pursuers, hunt with bows and arrows and various stone tools learned from Xia Cheng, make fire with the bow string learned from Xia Cheng, and use the birch bark learned from Xia Cheng to make fire. The method of adding turpentine to make a water bag to fetch water...

The happiest moment was when the captured man seemed to have said something to the pursuers. During the chase a few days ago, people behind kept shouting: "As long as you catch the scorpion, you will be given freedom, land, wheat, millet and Identity." But those who followed him were unmoved, and still followed him closely, as if they hadn't heard him.

Today is the No. 20 six days of their escape, once again throwing off the people behind, but he has not escaped far, but is still circling here.

"Hey, I can't go around like this anymore. Let me tell you, let's get some wood to cross the Caohe River before it snows, go to the south bank to hide, and never come back. Didn't we make a living by hunting and gathering in the past? ? I have learned so much from Xiacheng again, I won’t starve to death.”

"Yeah, we won't be able to hold on any longer."

He looked at the bonfire, shook his head and said: "No, we have to wait for another chance. This is the time for Xiacheng to reclaim the land. We dare not go to Xiacheng, but we can go to the villages in the lower reaches of the Caohe River. Find a chance Go around there and get some food seeds. There are too few of us, we have to find an opportunity to get more of our brothers and sisters who are still working hard."

One person said angrily: "We can't live on our own, how can we care about them?"

"There are only eleven people, how long can we live? Will there be other tribes on the south bank of the Cao River? What can we do with eleven people? The place we are most familiar with is not the south bank of the Cao River, but our original tribe in the east. Homeland, the tribes there were killed and plundered by Ji Xia, there is no one left, we can live there, as long as we go around the grass river a few times, they won't guess that we are back to the north bank again."

He fiddled with the flames with a branch, and said with a smile: "These people in Xiacheng would never have thought that they taught us so many things, otherwise we would have died long ago. My sisters are still spinning in Xiacheng. Mai, my brother is still plowing the land and digging mines, and yours is the same, don't you want to rescue them all?"

A few people lowered their heads, since they were so agitated, but these people still fell into despair, they couldn't beat that group of people at all, how could they save them?

"Do you still remember the swamp where Luoxing escaped? It was full of weeds and reeds. We didn't have a boat before, but now we have a boat and can hide in it. Even if someone wants to catch us, it won't be easy."

"We get the seeds, rescue a few more people, and run away there to hide. We don't need others to be slaves, we just grow and eat ourselves, and we don't need leaders, let alone fight. We will build many houses together , Xuexia City opened up fields nearby, planted wheat beans and corn, fished and hunted. We don’t want to be slaves to others, and we don’t need others to be slaves to us.”

He raised his head and continued to describe his dream life in the Chipu Swamp, that kind of beautiful countryside where there is no oppression, no contradictions, yellow hair and long hair, and he is happy. Finally, the faces of the people around him showed a look of hope.

Xiacheng is a city of oppression for them, but the good life they hope for is closely related to Xiacheng. Whether it is planting and building houses or fishing and hunting, they all learn from Xiacheng.

They want all the good things in Xiacheng, and they want to get rid of all the bad things in Xiacheng.They don't want a leader, they don't want to mine, they don't want a market, they just want to squat there and farm till they die.

Seeing that the ten people were no longer sinking, he said loudly: "When we have planted the grain and built the house, we will quietly hide the remaining grain on the way to our swamp. When the time comes, I will cut it with stones." I lost my face and went to Xiacheng again as a slave. Tell our brothers and sisters quietly about this and let them escape. I didn’t escape before because I would starve to death when I left Xiacheng. But it will be different when the time comes. They will have a It’s their own home, where no one uses whips and sticks to force them to work. I can also be a mine slave and encourage more people to kill those guards and escape.”

"At that time, we will build a hut outside the Swamp, where food and boats will be piled up, and everyone who escapes to the hut will be picked up by boat. Let all the slaves in Xia City know that in the forest There is such a hut next to the Pu, as long as you escape there, you will be free!"

The beautiful vision finally defeated the repressed fear, and the people around him looked at the bonfire just like him, as if the future An Tian was being interpreted in the dancing flames.

But this kind of peace didn't last long, there was a wolf cub's cry from a distance outside, and the few people who had just mustered up a little courage were immediately trembling with fright.

He patted everyone on the shoulder to give them some encouragement. He knew the strength of the person behind him, but he put on his clothes and said with a calm smile: "Let's go, make a few more circles, let's grab some seeds and then go back. It won't be long." ,everything will get better."
