Ancient wasteland

Jing Que asked for the cabbage seedlings from the chief of the Shui Tribe. When she asked Jing Que to dig some cabbage for Jing Que, she didn't specifically tell them that they were all to be eaten and not used for planting.

All the cabbage seedlings delivered to Jing Que were randomly pulled out of the ground, and most of them had roots and fresh soil.

After taking the people from the Water Tribe to the place where the tribal pottery team made bricks and handing them over to Bei, Jing Que hurried back to the tribe with the cabbage seedlings.

It is good to plant the rhizomes that are relatively intact and seem to be viable in their fields. It is good to eat or save seeds during the windy season.

The head of the Water Tribe wanted to use the seeds to negotiate terms with him, which was not realistic at all.

Before dark, he carefully planted the cabbage seedlings and the sun-dried corn seeds harvested two days ago in the ground.

Seriously pour water on them, and by the way, pick up some green onion leaves and garlic sprouts and go back to the tribe to stew broth.

A lot of bricks and cement are needed to build a house. There are always people watching the fire near the round kiln next to the lake, and the pottery team stays near the round kiln all day long.

Bei received the task entrusted to her by Jing Que, stood up and moved her hands and feet, carrying a longbow on her back, and walked towards the fishing boat docked on the shore.

In front of the Water Tribe, the two people came straight to the point, "The priest said, you can exchange the river sand on the boat with our tribe, you can exchange salt or meat, what do you want to exchange."

The location where the fishing boat docked was not far from the round kiln. The head of the Water Tribe got off the boat and saw that they were using mud to make square blocks.

Some people were holding firewood to light the fire in the round, strange-looking cave, feeling a little strange in their hearts.

Could it be that this cave that is burning fire is something that the Dashan tribe used to cook meat? !

But she didn't smell the smell of barbecue, only a little burnt smell of firewood, and she didn't know what that thing was used for.

She took her tribe and ventured across the lake to the Dashantribe. She was full of panic and fear, and she was not sure whether she could get what they needed from the Dashantribe.

She had vaguely heard that some tribes would treat thin and weak tribesmen as food, and she was ready to come to the mountain tribe and never go back.

... There is no way, seeing that the number of people in their water tribe is getting smaller and smaller, and even those who are still alive for the time being are getting weaker and weaker due to the lack of salt stones, and it is impossible to survive this cold season.

As the patriarch, she could only follow the Jinglai Mountain Tribe to see the situation, and she couldn't let everyone in the tribe die in the cold season.

This will see a strong female warrior come over and talk to them.

The chief of the water tribe was a little nervous, swallowing his saliva lightly, "I want to change some of the nails used to make fishing boats and the kind of rope used to make fishing nets."

Bei was a little surprised, raised his thick eyebrows, "Don't you change the salt or meat? I see you..."

She unceremoniously looked at the chief of the water tribe and the thin man standing behind her, her expression full of disgust.

"It seems that you haven't had enough food for a long time. Can you go back by boat?"

The head of the Water Tribe was a little embarrassed, but he still insisted on exchanging river sand for nails and hemp rope. Since river sand can really be exchanged for salt and meat from the Mountain Tribe, they need more fishing boats to transport river sand.

When Jing taught them how to make fishing boats, the wood they used was felled by the tribe themselves, but the nails used for splicing were brought by Jing himself.

The nails are harder than the stone tools in the tribe, so that the wooden boards can be nailed together to form fishing boats. If they don't have them, they can only find the mountain tribe to exchange them.

She swallowed nervously, for fear that the strong female warrior in front of her would get angry. Although she was the strongest in the tribe, she was still not sure that she could defeat a female warrior.

The expression expressed fear and worry, but the eyes were very firm, "We will not trade salt stones and meat for the time being, but nails and hemp rope."

Bei muttered softly, "What a weirdo."

He nodded slightly, "Our pottery team didn't bring hemp rope and nails. If you want to change them, I have to go back to the tribe to get them for you. You should wait here for me or go back to the tribe with me to get them."

The chief of the Water Tribe was taken aback. They would lean against the edge of the lake. If the female warrior in front of them suddenly started to attack, they would still be able to jump into the water and escape if they couldn't beat them.

Followed to the Dashan tribe, they didn't even have a chance to escape when they encountered danger, so she quickly waved her hand, "I won't go to your tribe, I'll wait for you here."

Bei once heard that people in the Water Tribe were very timid, so he just curled his lips and didn't say much. He turned around and asked someone to come over and load the river sand from the boat into the bullock cart.

Waiting to be transported back to the tribe to build a house, he ran back to the tribe to get hemp rope and nails for the leader of the water tribe.

These two things are not lacking in their tribe. The nails are made of green branches and sharpened for nailing things. There is no shortage of green branches around the tribe.

In their free time, the soldiers could cut out a lot at will, and the hemp rope and linen cloth were piled up like hills in the big hole.

Jing Que had just finished planting cabbage and corn, and seeing her running back by herself, he stopped her and asked what was going on with the Water Tribe.

Hearing Bei explain clearly what the Water Tribe chief asked to change, he was a little surprised, "As expected of the chief who has no warriors in the tribe and can continue to maintain the tribe.

Sure enough, she is very smart, how many hemp ropes and nails are you going to give her. "

Bei was suddenly asked, with a surprised expression on his face, "I'm going to bring her three rolls of hemp rope and three bags of nails."

As she spoke, she stretched out three fingers towards Jing Que. She lived with the fish, and she often saw the fish pulling the timer there when marinating the bacon.

Opening three different colors requires flipping through the bacon. I am familiar with the number three, and my first reaction when I was suddenly asked was three rolls of hemp rope.

Jing Que shook his head slightly, "We can't give them so many hemp ropes and nails, although we don't lack these two things, both hemp ropes and nails are rare things.

Green tree branch nails can only be made by warriors in our tribe. The production process of hemp rope is complicated, requiring harvesting, soaking, and extracting hemp fibers from ramie.

Then it has to be dried in the sun before being spun into hemp thread. It is very easy for our tribe to spin hemp thread, but that is because I can make a spinning machine.

... There is no such thing in other tribes. They can't extract fibers or spin yarn. Hemp rope is not precious in our tribe, but it is very rare outside our tribe. .

They were exchanged for one roll of hemp rope for each boat of river sand, and the nails were also exchanged in the same way. "

Bei squinted his eyes and thought about it, and felt that what he said was quite right, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay." He said and prepared to get the hemp rope from the big hole.

Jing Que called to her, "You can give them a few more rolls of hemp rope and nails, and put them on the account, and wait for them to slowly transport the river sand."

Bei frowned, "How to keep accounts."

Jing Que casually pulled up the weeds from the ground, "As many nails and hemp ropes as you give them, you can put as many weed stems there.

When the Water Tribe transports the river sand, each boat will throw away one piece, and the weeds will be paid off after the weeds are thrown away. "

Bei frowned, "It's so troublesome, can't we wait until they deliver it, and then give them the hemp rope?"

Jing Qu explained with a smile, "It will be faster if you do this, and if you give them the hemp rope and nails in advance, they will be able to make more fishing boats.

They can fish and transport river sand for us, and the houses in the tribe can only be built after the river sand is transported. "

They paid the Water Tribe salaries in advance, so that the people of the Water Tribe could see hope and work harder for them and transport river sand.

In a win-win situation, he doesn't even charge interest and deductions. He is simply looking for a model of win-win cooperation! ?

Bei was a little confused, but obediently took a lot of twine and nails and went to see the chief of the water tribe.

After explaining clearly to her as Jing Que said, he gave her the nails and twine, and threatened, "I keep a count of how many nails and twine I gave you, and you have to return us the same amount of river sand.

If you dare to renege on your debt, I will take people to overthrow your tribe! "

The chief of the Water Tribe got a lot of nails and twine, enough for them to make fishing nets and fishing boats for fishing, and the ecstasy in his heart could not be concealed.

Hearing this, he quickly shook his head vigorously, "We promise we won't renege on our debts, and we will help you deliver the river sand."

Bei nodded, "Okay, it's going to be dark soon, you can't go back to the tribe if you can't see it at night.

Just stay by the lake and follow us to have dinner. Today is my turn to stay and watch the fire in the round kiln. Come with me. "

She didn't really understand why Jing asked her to keep the people from the Water Tribe and let them rest near the round kiln.

The tribe needs a lot of bricks and cement to build houses, and the round kiln has been kept open for a long time.

There are suggested sheds that can block the sun and the sun around it, and there are stoves and various pottery pots and bowls. The temperature at night in the dry season is not particularly low, and you can spend the night without wrapping animal skins by relying on the round kiln.

The pottery team was ready to go back to the tribe one after another, leaving behind Bei and two night watchmen, who were returning from outside to carry firewood.

He smiled and said to Bei, "Catch some quack beasts and roast them. I haven't eaten quack beasts for a long time."

Jing He wants to keep the quack beasts to touch the eggs, and is not allowed to hunt quack beasts on a large scale, and can only catch some occasionally to satisfy his greed.

The head of the Water Tribe followed Bei into the shed, and was attracted by the pottery placed on the table.

These black pots and black bowls look particularly thin and indescribably beautiful, and I am secretly amazed at how these are polished.

I was even more surprised when I heard someone shouting to catch the quack beast to eat. The quack beast perches on the water and will fly very high when frightened.

Can the Dashan tribe actually catch quack beasts as food? !

Busily led the people out, and saw the female warrior take off the strange looking weapon on her back, and put a small wooden stick on the weapon.

Pulling the rope on the weapon, the small wooden stick flew out and hit the quack beast not far away. The quack beast fluttered twice and soon became silent.

The chief of the Shui Tribe was so shocked that he was stunned, and his heart was filled with turmoil. What a powerful weapon!

Had such weapons been available in their tribe, they would have been able to hunt small, flying game without having to struggle with larger game.

... I just don't know if the Dashan tribe is willing to exchange this weapon for them.

The Dashan Tribe shocked the head of the Water Tribe far more than this. She watched Bei scoop out boiling water from the thin and beautiful black pot, and after scalding the quack beast, he was able to pluck out the hair.

Then take out the internal organs of the quack beast and throw them away. After cleaning them, smear some white powder on the meat and put them on the fire to roast.

Some quack beasts were cut into pieces with bone knives and stewed in a black pot, and the aroma of roasted meat soon wafted out. .

It made her stomach groaning disobediently, and Bei handed her the baked quack beast, "here, eat."

The head of the Water Tribe stared wide-eyed in shock, "Give it to me?"

Bei impatiently stuffed the deliciously grilled Quack meat into her hands, "Didn't I tell you to eat with us, Jing told me that.

Is it possible that I can still starve you, eat it quickly, there is still broth in the pot after eating, you have to drink it in a bowl, remember to be careful not to break the bowl, or I will ask you to pay for it!

By the way, what's your name, I can't keep calling you the patriarch of the Water Tribe. "

The patriarch of the Shui Tribe, holding the meat with a face full of disbelief, said, "You can call me Pear."

Bei nodded, "I'm Bei, and I'll be in charge of transporting river sand from your tribe in the future, so hurry up and eat barbecue.

If you don't eat more meat, how can you have the strength to work? How can you give us canal sand. "

Li quickly picked up the barbecue and took a bite carefully.

With a little salty barbecue smell, her eyes lit up instantly, and she praised sincerely, "It's delicious!"

It's so delicious that I can't speak, I can only lower my head and concentrate on eating the barbecue until the barbecue in my hand is finished.

She tentatively took the pottery bowl to scoop up broth from the pot, and the two with Bei were too busy eating meat to pay attention to her.

She was holding the thin and beautiful black bowl, drinking the delicious and warm broth with salt flavor, and the fire was burning in the fire next to her, which made her whole body warm and full of strength.

Li couldn't help but think of when she was very young, when the priests and warriors of their tribe were still there, they were able to hunt and grow wild vegetables.

She can always eat well and curl up in her father's arms. She is full of warmth and strength, and she is not afraid of anything when the tribe is with her.

It's a pity for their tribe... if only they had warriors in their tribe.

Li, the head of the Water Tribe, is a very smart woman, and she quickly got enough nails and hemp ropes for making fishing boats and fishing nets from Bei.

The fishing fleet belonging to the Water Tribe was formed, which was similar to what Jing Zhu had originally estimated. They built a total of ten fishing boats.

Each boat is equipped with fishing nets and two people from the water tribe. Every morning, they set off from the tribe filled with river sand, transport them to the mountain tribe to exchange for the needed supplies, and then return to the lake to fish. The harvest is quite good.

The fish meat contains enough protein, and with the salt exchanged from the Mountain Tribe, it is good to eat, and the people in the Water Tribe fleet can be seen to be strong and dark with the naked eye.

In the Dashan tribe, with the continuous delivery of river sand in place, the green brick house that Jing Zhu had been thinking about was finally started to be built.

He laid the foundation on the left side of the hole, leveled half of the slope and laid the foundation with blue bricks, and built a two-storey building with blue bricks and concrete mixed with wood.

The load-bearing walls are all built with blue bricks, which are very hard, firm and stable. The kitchen, living room and storage room are all downstairs.

The storage room is directly connected to his cave through the back door, saving even the effort of digging a cellar to store cabbage and radishes, and can be used directly.

On the second floor are three bedrooms that are spliced ​​together with thick wood boards and masonry, which belong to him, wild and sacrificial priests respectively.

...It's a bit of an understatement, but Jing Yu thinks that there are three rooms downstairs, and the three rooms upstairs are just right.

After the house was built, the whole tribe was shocked. The priest watched the house being built with his own eyes, and trembling with a cane, he knelt down to thank the beast god for his gift!

Jing Yu couldn't hold back and let him go. Anyway, the priest is in good health now, and kneeling twice can't break the priest's old arms and legs.

He stood in front of the house and propped his chin, "It looks good, but it's a little bit wasteful."

After all, Jing Que has never repaired a house in a serious way, and he made a mistake in estimating the number of bricks needed. He built this small building, and all the bricks fired in this section of the tribe were used up.

If it is built on this scale, it is estimated that they will not be able to finish repairing the houses of their tribe by the end of the dry season.

Ye's expression was calm, "It's only necessary for priests to live in this way, as long as there is a place to sleep and eat in the tribe, I will arrange this matter."

Jing Que was a little surprised, looked at Ye who seemed to have grown up inadvertently, and nodded blankly, "Okay."

Is he busy repairing the house recently and neglecting his children too much? !Why do I suddenly feel mature! ?
