Chapter 163
Chapter 163
After fleeing for less than a year, Xia's population not only did not decrease, but directly exceeded 6000. After they decided to settle down, the population dropped sharply again. Many complete small tribes left after thanking them, but the population It also stayed at [-] people.
As the saying goes, there are ten thousand people without borders, and every day when Bai Rui goes out, he faces this group of people without borders. Thinking that these people are all his responsibility, Bai Rui suddenly felt a numbness in his back.In contrast, Lie Xing looked completely at ease, and because of him, Bai Rui could feel at ease...
Of course, it was impossible to rebuild the city before winter came, and everyone moved underground to escape the severe cold.Although there was no strong wind or heavy snow this winter, it was still colder than last year. Even though everyone had prepared as much as possible, accidents almost happened-there were bug warriors staying behind in turn on the ground, and some people almost fell asleep like this.
Other than that, everyone had a pretty comfortable winter.After all, I harvested the crops I grew, plus fishing, hunting, and gathering wild vegetables and fruits. Although I couldn't store much food in one summer, the huge harvest in autumn was enough.
When spring comes, people come out of the ground, and the air is still a little cold, but everyone's eyes are shining, full of hope for life.
Some people hunted, planted, and gathered, while others began to build their new cities.
***
As soon as Gu Duo came back with the hunting team, he rode his centipede partner to the farm.On the way to escape, he gained the favor of a big centipede and successfully became the Gu worm warrior he had dreamed of for a long time.Gu Duo, who is 22 years old this year, is taller and stronger than when he was, but the sincerity and purity of a young man on his face has never disappeared.
"Shaqi! Uncle Guli!" At this time, the people on the farm also began to rest, and they met the person he was looking for on the way.
Compared with fighting, Shaqi has always preferred to work in the fields, and he feels that this is more practical.Grain was originally in charge of trading, but now wherever there is any trade, the trading team has also joined the team of planting, hunting and construction.
Sha Qi was much older than Gu, and at this time he walked out of the crowd quickly, hugged Gu Duo who had jumped off the centipede, and made sure that he was not injured, so he was relieved.
"Why did it take so long this time?"
"We encountered a group of migrating animals that looked like horses and cows. It was a huge group. Elder Ibor said he wanted to see if he could drive a group back to raise them, but the journey took a little longer."
"Oh, that's good." Shazi was finally completely relieved.
"Where's Uncle Gu Li?" Gu Duo found that it was Gu Li's eldest son, Gu Qian, who came to greet him. He looked left and right but didn't see Gu Li in the line. But it was ugly enough, Gu Duo immediately understood, "Those people are here again?"
"Yeah." Gu Qian was only fifteen years old, and he was the most aggressive age. When he nodded to Gu Duo, the veins on his forehead were stretched out. You can tell how bad he is. "Gu Duo, can you think of a way?" Chase them away?"
"Those people" are people from the Yanggu tribe. They were not spared when the earthquake happened.Because I was lucky to catch up with Xia at the beginning, and the tribe didn't suffer any damage, but grew a little bit stronger.Xia decided to live in peace, and they left immediately, but they didn't go far, just wandering a little outside of Xia's tribe.Moreover, people came every few days to ask for items from Gu Duo and Gu Li, who were already living in Xia'an.
Gu Qian can't be blamed for turning his face and denying people. When he was still in the Yanggu tribe, people would always come to their house to eat and drink.Later, something happened in the construction of the road, and everyone blamed his father, who almost killed him.It wasn't until they arrived in Xia that they lived a comfortable life, who knew that those people would get involved again.
"You guys go home first, I'll go find the elder." Gu Duo hesitated for a while and made up his mind.
Shaqi knew what he was thinking, and took out a piece of bread with dried meat from his arms, and passed his water bottle over: "Take a bite first, drink some water before going."
The bread is wrapped tightly with leaves, and it is still hot because of Shaqi's body temperature.
Gu Duo was stunned for a moment: "You know me..." No, from the conversation just now, I know that Sha Qi doesn't know that he just came back.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Gu Qian laughed: "Brother Shaqi carries an extra serving with him every day, and I wonder why Brother Shaqi doesn't eat it, so it's reserved for you."
The young man smiled enviously, he was almost at the age of finding someone, but with his parents who supported each other and Gu Duoshaqi who was extremely loving and affectionate as his role models, no matter whether it was a man or a woman, he couldn't meet anyone he liked.His companion... when will he show up?
Gu Duo wolfed down his food. In fact, the pancakes and meat were not very tasty, but he kept licking his mouth after eating for a long time, feeling that his mouth was sweet.Shaqi didn't know when he would come back, and whether he needed to eat this food, but it was prepared for him every day, no one in this world would treat him so well.
He smirked at first, but after a while, Gu Duo's expression became serious.While he was still there, people from the Yanggu Tribe called him back, and his father even found a few young men and women who wanted him to bring him back.It stands to reason that he should have adapted to this situation by looking at his father and the wives of other people in the tribe since he was a child, but at that time, let alone his disgusting attitude.
Even more disgusting, he knew what his father and other people in the tribe were planning.They surrounded Xia and did not leave, not because they were worried about other dangers.They are greedy for the rich products and land here, and they don't want to be a part of Xia, but also want to live here, they are really greedy.
But his aunt was still in the Yanggu Tribe, and he wanted to bring aunt back several times. Gu Duo could tell that his aunt was also tempted, but he was afraid of his father, so he didn't dare to mention it.
The Yanggu tribe is an absolute patriarchal tribe. Girls must choose a man to marry when they are 12 years old and 14 years old.Gu Duo's mother is actually only in her early thirties.
After eating, he hugged Shaqi and took a bite or two. Gu Duo went to the Yanggu Tribe on the centipede.He decided to take his mother out no matter what this time, and his father would either agree or start a fight with him.
The people of the Yanggu tribe, just like the name of their tribe, like to live in sunny valleys, and now they just found a small valley as their tribe's residence.From this point of view, they didn't seem to be temporarily staying until they were confirmed to be stable.
On the way, Gu Duo ran into Gu Li who was going back.Because there will be patrols of bug warriors here every once in a while, Gu Li's face is obviously not because he has encountered any danger.
"Uncle Gu Li, what's wrong?"
"Gu Duo, don't go, go back with me." Gu Li saw it, and sat down on Gu Duo's centipede, urging him to go back.
"Uncle Guli, I'm going to pick up my grandma today. If you don't explain clearly, I won't move."
Knowing that it must be explained clearly, Gu Li has no choice but to take a breath and jump out word by word: "Your father and the others... want to burn the wasteland, let me talk to you and Xia's elders."
"..." In an instant, Gu Duo was so angry that his face turned blue.
As I said, the distance between the place where the Yanggu tribe lives and Xia is only a little farther away. If they want to burn the wasteland, the fire will not burn to Xia, which is under construction? !In addition, burning wasteland means farming, and if you want to farm, you must also harvest, so they are already blatantly wanting to live.
"Uncle Gu Li, are you going to tell the elders to let them burn the wasteland?" When Gu Duo asked Gu Li again, his tone was a little bit weird.
"Bah!" Gu Li immediately spit, "I'm telling the elders to hurry up! Alas... when your father was young, no, at least it wasn't like this a few years ago, when did he... "
Gu Duo was silent for a while and said, "Abba hasn't changed, just getting old."
After understanding the question, Gu Duo didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and took Gu Lichao back, and the first elder he met was Huai Ye.When Huai Ye heard it, it was not a joke to really burn, so he hurriedly took them to meet Xunxing.Lie Xing was watching Bai Rui train his eleven apprentices, and when he heard the news, he ran to the Yanggu Tribe without saying anything.
When they arrived, the scene made all the Xia people black-faced - the priests of Yanggu were dancing to worship the ancestors, the bonfire was already lit, and many men were holding torches. up.If they were a step slower, wouldn't they just collide with the mountain fire?
"The leader of Yanggu, can your actions be understood as a provocation against our Xia?" Hunter Xing came down from Xiaoqing holding a spear (metal spear head), and Hazel went to the lake area to protect the fishing team, because it was good at Swimming, some huge water beasts were found in the lake area.
The leader of Yanggu, Gu Duo's father, Gu Feng, is already in his 40s and almost [-] years old, which is definitely considered a long life in this day and age, but he doesn't seem to be aging at all.His back is straight, his hair is black and shiny, and his muscles are tight and shaped.Facing the menacing insect warriors, a giant beast whose size is comparable to a train, Gu Feng has a calm and natural expression on his face.
"The time has come. We have overcome difficulties with you. Now that the disaster is over, we should share this fertile land together. We Yanggu people are cultivating on our own land, how can we provoke the great Xia?"
For what happened in the past year, it is true to say that they were going through difficulties together, but the leader of Yanggu obviously ignored the relationship between them being dependent and being dependent at that time.Xia might have had an easier life without Yanggu, but Yanggu had no idea how many people would survive without Xia.But in Gu Feng's words, they have become an alliance.
Lie Xing smiled: "I understand, the leader of Yanggu, I just want to ask you, do you take your people and leave, or do you want to start a war with our Xia?"
This look, this smile, the domineering leader didn't discuss it!It's a pity that Bai Rui is not here, otherwise, looking at Xunxing now, he must... definitely throw people down for three hundred rounds at night.
Gu Feng's determined face froze for a moment. The development of the plot was different from what he had planned. Shouldn't everyone sit down and talk about reason - the word reason was learned from Xia last year - as long as they talk about reason, then they You can go around a bit, soften a bit, be skinny, and play a pitiful look, indicating that you are just staying here.After living like this for ten or twenty years, this place is completely theirs.
"You...you can't be unreasonable!" Gu Feng searched for a long time, and found that other people were also at a loss, so he could only throw out the question.
"Truths are taught to people who also abide by the truth. For those who don't obey, we can only beat them to obey." Lie Xing smiled again, with the same expression, when he squinted and squinted his eyes, he was gentle when facing Bai Rui Sweet, but facing the people of the Yanggu tribe, she showed a fierce look...
beat?All the people who fell were added, and it was not enough for a war worm to get stuck between the teeth.Walk?When they left before, Xia didn't treat them badly and gave them a share.Hunting these days also reserves a lot of prey.But... where do I go from here?
Gu Feng is not a pioneering leader, the Yanggu tribe has had its own survival habits since a long time ago.The last catastrophe didn't affect them that much, that is, it was a little more droughty than before, the harvest was a little less, and the old people and children who died were a little more driven away.
He only made two pioneering decisions in his life. One was to take out a large amount of food to build roads, but they were made under the persuasion of Gu Li and the huge vested interests of several transactions.The second one took all the people who fell into the disaster and defected to the Xia people, but that was because Xia's fleeing team happened to pass by at that time, and Gu Duo and Gu Li were worried that the tribe would also go home.
As a leader, you don't need to be omnipotent, but you must be wise enough to choose the one that best suits your interests from the methods given by your subordinates.In this way, Gu Feng's two decisions were done well, but the third decision, he did too badly.And he changed the goodwill he gained in Xia from friendship to hatred in one go.
The only thing he should feel lucky is that the Xia people are not bloodthirsty. They did such a bastard thing, and Lie Xing didn't chop them up and use them as fertilizer, but said very politely, "Get lost!"
Gu Feng looked at his priests, his other brothers, his older sons, and his supporters who had dreamed of a better life after settling here with him.But everyone is avoiding his sight. As the leader, he gave the order, so he has to bear the responsibility.
