Primitive Survival of Mercenaries

Xie Yi lay on the animal skin and lazily turned over.

Last night, because they were happy, the clansmen packed up their things and went to bed very late. Just now, the guest got up and asked him if he wanted to go hunting, but he refused.

On the morning of your first day at work, sleep a little longer.

"Brother Xie Yi, it's time to eat." Ke Mu opened the animal skin curtain and walked in, seeing Xie Yi still lying on the animal skin, he hesitated whether to continue to wake him up.

Gray Mao doesn't care about this, it usually doesn't approach Xie Yi because it can always feel an inexplicable oppression from this guy, but at this moment the person lying down seems to be safe, so it spreads its wings and flies to Xie Yi's. On the head, I wanted to step on it a few more times to find a comfortable position, but unexpectedly, a pair of hands grabbed my legs and lifted them up.

Huimao flapped its wings and asked Kemu for help in a "chirp chirp".

Xie Yi sat up slowly, stretched out his hand to pluck the gray fur's wings, and then knocked on its sharp beak.

Gray-haired was annoyed, and lowered its head to peck Xie Yi's hand, but he nimbly avoided it. It tilted its little head unwillingly, and followed Xie Yi's hand to peck back and forth.

"The temper is okay, but a little stupid." Xie Yi teased for a while, then threw Huimao to Kemu, "Has Huimao ever caught prey?"

"Not yet, how do you catch it when it's so small." Ke Mu said while comforting Huimao.

"You starve it for two meals, and let it practice its claws with your rabbit." Xie Yi sat down at the stone table and began to eat breakfast. Don't be lazy, hurry up and tame it."

Ke Mu paused in the air holding the piece of meat, and then prepared to put it away.

As soon as Huimao saw that the meat in his mouth was about to leave, he swooped anxiously, opened his mouth and snatched the piece of meat from Kemu's hand, but because he didn't have time to change direction, he fell headlong to the ground.

Xie Yi's hand holding the soup bowl trembled, but he stabilized immediately. He glanced at the gray hair struggling to get up from the ground, and concluded, "Well, it's really too stupid."

After breakfast, Xie Yi asked Kemu to find a place to train Huimao, while he carried a bamboo basket and went out to collect folk songs.

According to the head of the Yunshui tribe, the place where the Qipo tribe lives is only three hills away from here, but because they found stones for weapons in the nearest mountain, they drove or captured all the nearby tribes as slaves. They also send people to patrol the neighborhood every day.

Xie Yi hid behind the tree and watched the people of the Qipo clan patrolling nearby with bronze spears. After a while, a group of people carrying stones came out of the cave. Each of them had a strong grass tied around their ankles. They couldn't even walk on the rope, but they seemed to be used to it, and they walked along the road that was stamped out expressionlessly.

A few people from the Qipo clan walked behind them with weapons and drove them away from time to time, and Xie Yi also quietly followed.

The distance from the copper mine to the Qipo clan was not too short, and the people who carried the stones were allowed to rest twice on the road before seeing the residence of the Qipo clan in the distance.

I don't know how many slaves the Qipo tribe has kept. They have built a wall around the tribe with discarded stones. The nearby trees have been cut down, and there are several people standing guard with weapons at the entrance of the stone wall.

Xie Yi stopped at the edge of the woods, watched the group of people go in, and then went around to a blind corner that was not easy to be found, and climbed the stone wall to check the situation inside.

In the middle of the wall, there are several houses built with stones. You can see the group of people who just moved the stones coming out of them. It should be the place where copper ore is usually smelted to make weapons.Most of the other houses surrounded by stone houses are built of wood, and in the gaps between some rough wooden piles, you can still see the animal skins wrapped inside.

The stone wall in the remote northwest direction is the tallest. There is a large open space with a few rows of tents on it, presumably it is the residence of the slaves.

It seems that the people from the Seven Broken Clan are still very wary of these slaves. Every time they go in and out, someone will follow them, and if they are dissatisfied, they will use sharp weapons to attack them.

Xie Yi quietly sneaked back to the woods, and did not return the same way. He planned to learn about the place where the Kasa people lived now, so as to plan how to arrange it.

He traveled all the way through the mountains and forests, thanks to his good skills, he didn't meet any large beasts, and when he returned, he carried a few small prey in his hand.

Ke Tu and the others were distributing the prey, when they saw Xie Yi coming out of the woods, they frowned, "Why did you go out alone again, it's very dangerous."

Xie Yi handed him the things in his hand, "I won't do it next time. After you divide the things, I have something to discuss with you."

Ke Tu seldom saw Xie Yi look so cautious, so he simply handed the stone knife to Ah Qing and asked him to continue dividing the meat, while he and Xie Yi left the crowd, "What's the matter?"

"I walked around the neighborhood today and met people from the Qipo clan."

"Qipo Clan, they came here to hunt down the Yunshui Clan? Did they see you, and did they encounter any danger?" Although Ke Tu knew that Xie Yi was very skilled, he couldn't stop worrying. He wanted to pull off Xie Yi's clothes to check if he was injured.

Xie Yi simply took Ketu back to the tent, and told him what happened today after he was sure there was no wound.

"In other words, the bronze stone is very close to where we live." Ketu sat on the animal skin, lost in thought.

Xie Yi picked up a branch at random, and drew a simple map on the ground, "It's very close, you can get there after climbing over these two mountains, but I didn't look at the situation in the cave, and I don't know the Qipo guarded inside." How many people are there?"

"There are more than 300 people in the Qipo clan. From Ke Ke's words, they attach great importance to these stones. There must be many guards there." Is the stone nearer or us nearer?"

"It's hard to say. Although the Qipo clan is a little far away, they are walking on flat ground, and we have to climb two mountains. Not to mention that stones are not easy to carry. I saw that they are all slaves. "

"That means we can't take these stones away even if we snatch them." Ketu was a little frustrated. Such a large piece of fat was in front of him but he couldn't eat it.

"However, it's not impossible," Xie circled the location of the copper mine, "If you can't take it away, put the stone in place. Anyway, it's just a weapon, it can be anywhere."

"Then we have to defeat the Qipo clan." Ke Tu also knew the crux of the problem, "But we have too few people. Even if we are with the Hongtu clan, we can't compare with the Qipo clan."

He looked up and found that Xie Yi didn't look troubled at all, so he knew that he must have thought of a good solution, what is it?

"By the way, those slaves!" He slapped his thigh and stood up happily, "The patriarch of the Yunshui clan said that those slaves were from other races, and they were arrested after the Qipo clan exterminated them. Broken clan."

However, he quickly thought of another question, "However, we can't see those slaves at all. How can we get them to help us?"

As soon as Ke Mu entered the tent, he saw Ke Tu circling around, still muttering something, he looked at Xie Yi suspiciously, "Brother Xie Yi, what's wrong with my brother?"

"It's okay," Xie Yila said, "I'll think about this issue later, maybe there will be a better way. And we just arrived at this place, so we need to think about the lives of our tribe first."

Ke Tu wondered, "We go hunting every day, is there anything else to think about?"

"If we only rely on hunting, we still lack food in winter." Xie took out the seeds specially selected when digging the mouse hole last year. "These things are easier to preserve than meat. I plan to try to grow them as much as possible. Maybe one day winter We have something to eat even if we don’t hunt.”

Ke Tu was convinced by Xie Yisu. Hearing what he said, he immediately became interested, "How do you grow this thing?"

"Find a place and bury them in the soil." You can't understand what's going on unless you have done this kind of thing yourself. Now I have to say one, two, three, and Xie Yi also feels embarrassed, "Wait a while You'll know when you plant it."

"Brother Xie Yi, can I plant it?" Ke Mu was originally holding something to cook, but it seemed that his brother and the others were talking about something interesting, so they listened together.

"Yes." Xie Yi glanced at the piece of meat in his hand, "But now, you have to cook first."

"Oh." Ke Mu responded and turned around obediently.

Xie Yi asked Ke Tu to continue to look at the picture he drew on the ground, "Look at where we live now, there is the Qipo Clan behind us, so I plan to stay here." He drew a horizontal line in front of the nearest mountain, " Make some traps and give us some time to prepare if someone sneaks up."

"The same as the trench in front of the cave before?" Ketu immediately remembered the trap he made before.

"Almost," Xie Yi drew a circle in front of the mountain, "we'll cut down all the trees inside and build a house on it, so we don't need to live in tents in the future, and we don't need to look for caves in winter anymore. .”

Ke Tu heard Xie Yi talk about the stone houses and wooden houses of the Qipo tribe, and he also found it very novel, "Let's build wooden houses too, stones are too hard to find."

"No, it's too cold to live in a wooden house in winter. We can use mud from the river to build a house." Xie Yiyi didn't know how to burn bricks, but he still knew a little about grass and mud walls. When he was a child, many houses in the village were made of mud. wall.

In Ke Tu's imagination, the shape of a house and a tent are similar, so he has no idea what the house is made of, so naturally Xie Yi said what he said.

Xie Yi drew another area not far from where he lived, near the river, "We will also cut down all the trees in this area, and plant soybeans and wheat here. When we harvest later, we will There's food."

Xie Yi told Ketu his plan and asked him, "What do you think?"

"Very good." Ke Tu heard that it was probably something he didn't know, but since it was something Xie Yi thought was good, it must be good.

Xie Yi threw away the branch in his hand, "Then tell the clansmen tomorrow, we will start as soon as possible."
