Through the wild age

Because of the flood, the old man, the city lord, found Chen Qiao. This old man had a weird temperament, but everyone still wanted to believe him, and believed that he would be a good city lord.

What the city lord meant was to ask Chen Qiao to use a small boat to ferry the victims on the other side of the river first, to help the severely affected families survive the most difficult period, and to help them rebuild their homes after the flood receded.

Naturally, Chen Qiao had no objection to this proposal, borrowing a boat was a trivial matter.But he didn't want his son to work as a coolie on the boat every day, so he proposed to find a few strong boys and let them learn to punting. In the future, the boat will be reserved for the residents on both sides of the river to cross the river.

For his generosity, the old man Gegeng seemed very pleased.After that, he inquired about Dila's fortification by the river, and he heard from Sansu that the eldest son of Chen Qiao's family was going to build a big guy.

"It's just bigger than the current boat, and it's just a means of transportation." Chen Qiao replied.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Brother Geng didn't ask more.Before leaving, brother even said that if there is anything that needs help, just go to him, Chen Qiao readily agreed.

Although brother Geng's attitude was very kind today, Chen Qiao still felt something was wrong.Because they have attracted the attention of the city lord, no matter when and where, things that exceed people's cognition are more or less terrifying.Those in power, no matter how broad-minded they are, don't want their existing interests to be threatened in the slightest.

This city has its own authority, Chen Qiao doesn't want to confront them, they are too weak now.And right now, the most important thing is to build a good ship and return to his tribe, he doesn't want to make troubles.

It seems that they still have to leave here as soon as possible, and when Dila's boat is built, they will set off on their return journey. I hope there will be no more troubles in the middle.

The heavy rain still has no tendency to stop. It falls like this every day. Although there is no damage on this side of the river, the fields will be flooded if it continues like this. I am afraid that there will be no harvest this year.

For those victims, most of them were housed in the extra houses of the city lord's house, and some were taken in by well-meaning people.Because of the mobilization of the city lord, the residents in the city have expressed more or less.

Chen Qiao was a little embarrassed, they had not been in this city for a long time, their foundation was too shallow, and there was very little food in stock.But in the end, he took in a group of helpless orphans. These children are not yet considered labor force, and ordinary families are rarely willing to take them in. Even after the disaster is over, survival is still a big problem.

These children have been starving for the past few days, and their eyes light up when they see food, and a large basket of pancakes is dealt with in two or three strokes.Thinking that she would still have to take on the heavy responsibility of feeding these children for a considerable amount of time, Chen Qiao felt quite a headache.

In addition to food, we also need to arrange clothes and quilts for them.Chen Qiao has been tossed miserably by these children in the past two days, and some of them have suddenly become reticent because of a disaster at home, Chen Qiao also has to think of ways to enlighten them.

A few days later, Chen Qiao went to the owner's house. Because of the disaster victims, the old man was very busy these two days.As soon as they stopped to rest for a while, they heard that Chen Qiao was coming.

For Chen Qiao, a sensitive person, the old man still kept an extra eye on him.When this family first came to this city, he still had a good impression of them, but the more he looked at it, the more uncertain he became.People always have more or less fear of unknown power, and the old man Ge Geng is no exception.

"I came here today to tell you that after the ship is built, I want to take my family back to my tribe."

"When will you leave?"

"It may be nearly a month, it depends on Dila's progress."

"Then what is your plan to come here today?"

"Our tribe is different from here. There are many things in this city, but we don't have them there."

"..." Brother didn't answer, waiting for him to continue.

"We will sail back by ourselves this time, if it goes well. It will be much more convenient if we go back and forth in the future."

"Do you want to change?"

"Yes, there are some things we don't have in this city."

"This is naturally no problem." I'm afraid you want more than that.

"People in our tribe have no clothes to wear. I want to learn how to weave." Chen Qiao got straight to the point. The more you beat around the bush, the more disgusted he would be with people like Brother Geng.

"You don't need to ask me about this." In this era, there is no so-called intellectual property rights. Since a middle-aged man who passed by taught them the art of weaving, almost all the families with women in the city have brought weaving machines. I don't feel the need to cover up.

"I am asking your permission on behalf of our tribe."

"Well, I agree." Brother agreed more readily, and then quietly waited for his next words.

"When I go back this time, I want to bring back all the children who live in my house."

"Why do you want so many children?" Brother asked more cautiously, because of the limitation of productivity, the average family does not have much food left.Now that Chen Qiao wants to take away so many children in one go, I can't help but be puzzled.Just be afraid, Chen Qiao's tribe is a tribe with the desire to expand.

"A few years ago, our tribe was attacked by wild beasts, and there were too few people who survived, and many of them were close relatives who had blood relations. Because of a migration, we lost contact with the original neighboring tribes. .”

Brother listened more carefully and motioned Chen Qiao to continue.

"Our population is too small. Only by continuously adding unrelated aliens can we ensure the survival of the tribe. The place we are now is very good, but there are no other tribes nearby, so this time we will not be far away. Thousands of miles to come here."

After Chen Qiao finished speaking, brother was silent for a long time.He seemed to be considering the credibility of Chen Qiao's words, and he didn't find any flaws during the whole process, and his experience told him that the young man in front of him could be trusted.

But he was instinctively on guard, this young man was also terrifying to him.

"Are you the tribal leader?"

"No, Baya is."

"then you?"

"He only needs to take care of the most important things, and I will help with other chores."

"Chores"

"Yes, it's as if the husband is the breadwinner and the wife decides what the family will eat today."

"Hehehe..." The city owner laughed dryly, and Chen Qiao was a little confused.
