Chapter 243 Strength is not allowed
...
After a night of spring rain, the water in the river rose a little.
On the river beach filled with morning mist, yesterday's training and duel trampled on the grass, the tender grass and wild flowers began to grow tenaciously.
The mountains, rivers and fields are green and green, and blooming flowers and flying birds can be seen everywhere.
Three flags roll gently in the warm and humid wind of early spring.
The neat team set out, facing the rising sun, stepping on the morning dew, and blowing the trumpet toward the valley.
Xu Chen rode his beloved pony and frequently waved back.
Hundreds of old women, old and young people from Wu tribe, sent them all the way to the river beach outside the valley entrance. Watching the team gradually fade away and slowly disappear on the edge of the forest at the foot of the downstream mountain, they reluctantly returned with the elderly and the young.
This inspection was full of rewards. The leader of the Wu tribe finally bowed his head and admitted defeat, and the powerful Wu tribe completely surrendered.
Of course, Xu Chen would not admit that he was a black-hearted person who had been plotting against the Wu tribe.
This must be the shock of his personal charm that exudes great human brilliance. It finally moved the sky, the earth, the men and women of the Ukrainian tribe, and finally successfully settled the contradictions within the six tribes, and could start the next more distant and glorious upgrade task.
The second stop of the tour was the Hu tribe.
The Hu tribe is in another valley half a day outside the Shunda River.
The pattern is similar to that of the Ba tribe, and it is also a small tribe with dozens of people, crowded in three small caves not far away.
The environment here is much better than that of the Ba people.
At least the accommodation is more spacious.
In addition, there is a spring with abundant water near the cave where the Hu people live, which does not dry up all year round.
Moreover, the valley is full of wild fruit trees, and it is the time for flowers to bloom. Therefore, when Xu Chen comes in, he feels like he has entered a flower valley. The colorful flowers are everywhere in the mountains. Bees are flying in the entire valley and the fragrance of flowers is lingering.
Damn, this is a real Feng Shui treasure land!
This is definitely a rare tourist attraction in later generations.
Compared with the Hu valley, Xu Chen suddenly found that the Ba valley was no longer very fragrant.
Although the primitive era is full of natural scenery of over 5a.
But this was the first time he saw this beautiful scenery with flowers all over the valley. The mountains far and near were like clouds.
Even on the top of the furthest and highest mountain, you can see chestnut trees like snow piles.
At the foot of the hillside where the Hu people live, a courtyard made of mud, stone, and thatched grass also rose from the ground.
The scale is not large, at most it is only half the size of the first phase of the Ba tribe. However, the craftsmanship seems to be much more refined than the houses built by the Wu tribe. It is obvious that the Hu tribes are more pragmatic and serious.
On the river beach not far from the house, there is also a piece of farmland that has been burned and reclaimed. The scale is not too large, about 100 acres, with fruit trees and flowers all around it. The fields are green and green, looking fresh and pleasing to the eye.
When they heard Xu Chen's arrival, the Hu clan came out in full swing and welcomed several miles under the leadership of the clan leader. One of the well-trained hunter teams seemed to have a somewhat uniform momentum.
There are only more than 60 people in the Hu clan, plus more than ten prisoners, and their popularity is slightly stronger than before, but now it has become the tribe with the lowest number of people in the six alliances.
The Ba tribe was at the bottom before, but after taking in more than ten Wu tribes and robbing more than forty young women, the number of people in the tribe has officially exceeded the scale of 100. If the captives of more than 80 people are included, the size of the medium-sized tribe is now comparable to that of the Cang tribe.
Originally, Xu Chen wanted to have a bigger appetite.
Unfortunately, food has become a roadblock to hindering the large-scale expansion of the tribe.
The Hu tribe has few people, so the situation is much simpler. There are not as many messy contradictions as the Wu tribe. Of course, there are no minerals like copper ore that make Xu Chen jealous, so the inspection is easier or even more careless.
After arriving, Xu Chen, accompanied by a large group of people including the Hu clan leader, watched the newly built houses and cultivated farmlands, gave simple guidance and encouragement, and then observed the training of Hu clan hunters, and collectively awarded flags and distributed armor, bows and arrows and officer waist cards.
The Hu tribe of Hu means flower, and it should also be the ancient primitive pronunciation of flower.
Therefore, a huge red flower was painted on the Hu tribe's flag.
After the flag-raising ceremony, a not-too-large military performance was also held.
The purpose of this performance is to enable hunter teams between different tribes to strengthen communication and learn from each other, and to do some simple cooperation and offensive and defensive drills to improve the quality of training.
After the inspection, Xu Chen was on a whim and, under the leadership of Hu hunters, went to the nearby hillside for a long time, experienced a rare spring outing, and then held another hunting competition. In the evening, a lively bonfire dinner was held at the entrance of the courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
The next morning, Xu Chen said goodbye to the Hu tribe and went to the Muya tribe.
The Muya tribe is one day away from the Hu tribe. In the direction closer to the northwest of the Wu tribe, the roads are rugged and canyons are very difficult to walk.
However, they were lucky this time, and they encountered a group of wild wolves hunting goats. The hunters team who were traveling with them finally had a chance to show their skills. A real large-scale hunting operation came in the valleys and forests, killing four wild wolves and seven goats, and gaining a lot.
When we arrived at the Muya tribe, the sun was almost setting.
The Muya tribe has nearly a hundred people and lives on a hillside.
The cave is very large, a crack that is hundreds of meters long, with dripping water springs inside, hundreds of meters away from the foot of the mountain. The living environment is the best and most spacious of all tribes.
None of them built a house at the foot of the mountain, but they used bricks and stones to build a row of houses. Although they looked very simple, they were very sturdy.
The farmland they reclaimed was also near the cave. There were no large trees around them, but a large area of low thorny vines. After burning, they revealed the yellow-brown soil, which was very fertile. All the seeds were wild beans growing more nearby nearby, and they all looked very vigorous.
Among several tribes, the Wood Tooth tribe is the most special.
Their living environment and living habits are closer to some ancient tribes in the mountainous areas of Yunnan and Guizhou. Although their lives are relatively stable, their development space is very small. The most important thing is that the transportation is very inconvenient.
If it was not necessary, Xu Chen would probably not come again.
Although I had heard that Xu Chen would bring people to the Muya tribe for inspection after the beginning of spring, after sunset, watching a large group of people carrying more than ten wild wolf goats of all sizes suddenly arrive, the Muya tribe was overjoyed and was also shocked.
When I learned that these wild beasts were hunting on the way I had just arrived, the entire tribe was in an instant.
So much prey is enough for everyone to eat for several days.
For the beginning of spring, this flesh-and-blood feast is definitely a rare food meal.
Although they had already eaten dinner and were ready to go to bed, the Muya tribesmen began to become hungry again in the face of these fresh meat. The whole clan, the old and young, went to battle to slaughter wild animals, peeled them open them, took out the clay pot to cook the minced meat, and the large pieces of mutton were hung on wooden stands and turned to barbecue.
Whether cooking pots or rotating grills, these are learned from the Ba people, and several tribes have used them very well.
A large group of people sat around the wide open space in front of the cave, lit several bonfires, and sang and danced to eat and have fun.
Xu Chen almost never participated in this purely primitive singing and dancing activities. Today, he walked the mountain road for a day. Because the road conditions were not good, he was afraid of breaking the horse's hooves, so he walked all the way. He was so tired that he didn't want to move anymore.
Sitting in front of the bonfire, the Muya tribe leader and two male and female leaders of the tribe accompanied each other. A group of people were eating and talking about the arrangements and changes of the tribe.
Several girls in simple linen dresses serve hot water and food attentively.
The mutton was roasted, and a girl put a piece of mutton into the pottery plate in front of Xu Chen with a wooden stick. Xu Chen picked it up and took a bite. His body was slightly stunned, and he took another bite. Then he looked at the glutinous meat carefully with confusion on his face.
"Moxie Gaga?"
Xu Chen's strange actions made the Muya Clan Chief nervous, so he quickly asked carefully.
Xu Chen tossed and turned around with the mutton several times, then took another bite and looked confused.
He was sure there was no pepper on the lamb, but he tasted a faint peppery smell.
He even pulled out the wooden stick inserted into the meat and licked it a few times, making sure that the pepper smell did not come out of the wooden stick.
“Where is the meat roasted?”
Xu Chen quickly asked the girl who brought the meat.
The girl couldn't understand and was very nervous. Feng explained and gestured a few times. The girl quickly pointed to the location of the fire pit inside the cave.
"Go and go and have a look!"
Xu Chen suddenly became energetic.
Compared to filling his stomach, he seeks more spiritual satisfaction.
Since he came here, he has never seen the third familiar cooking season except for leeks and wild onions.
And some essential ingredients for later generations such as pepper and pepper, which were even indispensable for cooking delicacies, were even seen in the mountains, rivers and beaches near the Ba people.
After more than a year, he almost accepted his fate.
There should be no such plants within a radius of hundreds of miles of the Ba people.
Although the current climate and environment are hugely different from the Earth he once was familiar with, and the species are more complex and diverse, but there is nothing. He also wants to find some other plants to replace it, but his strength does not allow it.
After all, the cooking seasonings used by the Chinese are profound foundations accumulated by our ancestors over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and are not formed overnight.
Even though many plants have special fragrances, they don’t know if they are poisonous.
Mushrooms are so delicious and countless poisonous. Even with the accumulation of Chinese civilization for thousands of years and a group of monkeys as drug testers, he has only identified seven or eight kinds of food that can be eaten. They are all non-toxic mushrooms in memory. They basically don’t dare to touch other varieties that they don’t know or are familiar with.
Pepper is both a ingredient and a spice. In his familiar history, this small plant seed has caused countless wars.
Looking for her in the crowd for thousands of times, she looked back at the dim lights.
