[Infrastructure] I'm not a god

===================

Ruan Yi squinted his eyes, and his movements seemed unhurried.

"How many of them came?"

"There are only two people, priest. They have been brought into the hall now, and the leader of Shixia is receiving them. The leader sent me to invite you and ask what you mean."

"Did the people from the Baicao tribe ever say which tribe attacked them?"

"They said they were from the Snake Tribe."

"The people of the Snake Tribe plundered the food they had saved for the winter, and they suffered heavy losses without warning."

"No casualties?"

"Yes, but not many. It seems that the Snake Tribe came to save supplies for the winter."

Ruan Yi nodded, probably understanding the plan of the Snake Tribe.It is nothing more than trying to make them internally infighting. They lack supplies, and many people will die in winter, and the rest will not be much better if they barely survive. Basically, they will lose their combat effectiveness, and then the Snake Tribe can pick up the leaks in the spring. Gobble them up without breaking a sweat.

And the fact that they didn't hurt anyone could be used as an excuse to avoid criticism in Lieyun City.

We did rob them, but we didn't kill people, that's not aggression.

Realizing this, Ruan frowned slightly.

"So, what kind of assistance does the Baicao tribe want?" he said to himself.

Ruan Yi smiled if she couldn't recognize the cruel nature of this world and was dreaming of self-deception.

Then let them keep dreaming.

"They asked to borrow some food for emergency, priest, do we want to borrow it?"

"Of course I have to borrow. Even, this is not a loan, but a gift. After all, they are our partners." Ruan Yi's request for a loan from the Baicao Tribe was within his expectations.

Ruan Yi also knew that they would not be willing to give up all those who joined the Hengshan tribe directly, and this matter still needs to be figured out gradually.

Ruan Yi doesn't want a group of hateful youngsters, so if they are guided to recognize the reality and voluntarily join the Hengshan tribe, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Now it's time to send charcoal in the snow.

"Did they mention the matter of the Great Wilderness Tribe?"

"No."

"I see, you go and reply to Shixia."

"Priest, don't you go and watch?"

"No, just leave it to Shixia."

Shixia came to meet Ruan Yi in person after sending away the Baicao tribe, and he was a little confused about what he was doing.

For example, he is well aware of Ruan Yi's ambitions, and sooner or later the surrounding tribes will be in his pocket, and now is a good time to annex them, why not seize this opportunity?

Ruan Yi smiled when he heard this question.

"Do you think we would have a sense of taking advantage of others when we offered it? This is always morally untenable."

"Also, I want them begging to join our tribe. Not us begging them."

Shixia was a little surprised by his confidence.

"You don't seem to believe it." Ruan Yi was not angry at Shi Xia's suspicious expression.

"I believe."

"You can wait and see, they will beg to join us soon." Ruan Yi was very calm, giving people a feeling of winning.

"I really believe in you, Priest." Shi Xia said helplessly.

"This kind of blind belief is not advisable. To believe in something, there should always be a reason to convince yourself, instead of empty slogans and expressing your determination."

Yes, because it is you.

Shi Xia said in his heart.

"They will definitely come again in the future. You have to let them know that although we are willing to help them, this assistance is not without a bottom line. They still have to rely on themselves to get through the disaster of their tribe."

If you can't get over it...

Shi Xia's eyes lit up, and he suddenly seemed to understand something, "It turns out that the priest's intention is this..."

Is this just retreating to advance, pushing and pulling at the top, playing hard to get, and welcoming when you want to refuse?

Aid can be given to them in order to harvest their hearts.This also allows them to stand up morally, after all, to their friends, they have done their best.

They have never made any alliance contract, and naturally there is no such thing as helping others to help them to the end that can bind them morally.

And once the people of the Baicao Tribe asked for more, they took the initiative instead, and they could be accused of overreaching...

Among the Baicao tribe, Qu Ming, the leader of the tribe, was listening to the reports of the people he sent out to ask for help.

Small tribes had no problem rejecting them.Qu Ming couldn't help sighing, in fact, he had already guessed that they would turn their faces and deny anyone, but he just didn't want to give up the last hope.But now, the bubble of hope has been shattered by reality.

"Have the people who went to the Hengshan Tribe come back?" Qu Ming actually didn't have much hope for the Hengshan Tribe, and was even a little afraid.

After all, the Hengshan tribe is mysterious and powerful, and they have no way of knowing more, so they are naturally afraid.

After several cooperations, it was basically the people of the Hengshan tribe who were guiding them, and they were all led by the nose.Qu Ming had to admit this.So how can it not make him afraid?

It was as if the Hengshan Tribe was a sleeping monster that would wake up one day and devour them in one bite.

Originally planned to keep it at a respectful distance except for the transaction, who would have thought that the tribe would suddenly suffer from a devastating and unreasonable disaster...

Qu Ming sighed heavily.Of course he knew the intentions of the Snake Tribe, so he gritted his teeth with hatred!

"Boss! They're back! And they brought back a lot of food..." Qu Ming just asked people about this, but unexpectedly someone came and reported the news.

Qu Ming immediately stood up from his sitting position, "What did you say?"

"They came back with food!"

Qu Ming hurriedly went with others, ready to ask about the situation.

"Boss, the people of the Hengshan tribe are really good people! When we went to the trading place, they had someone waiting there, and then led us directly to their tribe. Their tribe is so shocking, I have never seen it like that... "

"Wait, you said they have someone waiting at the trading place?" Qu Ming turned pale.

Did they already know...

"We were also very puzzled at first, but later their people told us that they were actually waiting for people from the Great Wilderness Tribe, but we didn't expect to find them who came to ask for help."

Qu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

If two great tribes united to drive them to a dead end, they would really either submit or die.

"Did they say why they waited for people from the Great Wilderness Tribe?" Qu Ming was afraid that this was just an excuse, so he wanted to ask clearly.

"They didn't hide it from us. They even had a deal with the Great Wilderness Tribe. It's just that the last agreed deal didn't come to the Great Wilderness Tribe, so they sent people to wait for the deal."

"I see." This reason is more acceptable.Qu Ming basically believed it.

"Then, what did you tell them? How did they agree to help us?"

"We, we were treated very well after being brought to the tribe by them. They not only gave us food, but also hot water! Drinking a sip seems to keep us from getting cold."

Facing the leader's question, this person seemed a little nervous, so he said a lot of unnecessary words.

But these words interested the others who were listening.

hot water?What kind of water is that?Can actually make people resist the cold...

The Hengshan tribe is indeed a miraculous tribe.

"Get to the point." Qu Ming was impatient, and was in no mood to listen to that person's experience.

"The point, oh! The point is that we said we wanted to ask for assistance, and then their leader agreed to us. They sent people to fetch a lot of food for us. They sent us back to the trading point before watching us leave. .They are really good people!"

The person who made the statement couldn't help emphasizing it one last time.This is probably what left the deepest impression on him.

Qu Ming was dumbfounded, that's it?So simple, so easy?

"Are you sure they didn't ask for anything?"

"No. They just said that they are very sympathetic to what happened to us, and their leader also said that the food is a little gift from them to friends in distress, and we don't need to return it in the future."

Qu Ming was silent.

He couldn't see clearly what the Hengshan tribe was doing.

The Hengshan tribe is still in full swing, and the arrival of winter no longer makes them fear like other tribes.

They used to be afraid, but now this fear has long been overcome by them.

Now they live in a warm wooden house, wear close-fitting animal skin clothes, and bake in a coal-fired stove. Their life is unspeakably comfortable, and the haze of the past is no longer seen.

In the face of winter, everyone has a smile on their faces.

How dare they imagine such a life.

I don't know where there is news that the priest will teach them how to read this winter!

Although words are no longer mysterious in their eyes.Even their captains could read and write some characters.But for ordinary people, this is something they are curious about and dare not expect.

The rumors circulating among the people are naturally true, and Ruan Yi has planned a lot for this winter.This includes planning for the first round of literacy.

Words are the foundation of education and the carrier of civilization and spirit.

He once promised to the people of Lianqing that as long as he was a priest of this tribe, he would always devote himself to promoting writing.Achieve the goal of equal access to literacy opportunities for all in the tribe.
