Chapter 22 Resisting Foreign Enemies (3)Untitled Part 22
Ke Tu invited Wu Si and Ah Qing over to discuss how to deal with the Red Earth tribe.
Among the more than a dozen tribes near and far, the Hongtu tribe is a large clan, with hundreds of members, while the Kasa tribe has less than 50 members. Excluding the elderly, children and women, there are only twenty-eight people who can hunt.
" People of the Hongtu tribe How could it appear here, it takes at least seven days to walk from where they live to us." Wu Si felt a little strange.
"They said they were looking for a suitable place to live."
"No tribe would change their place of residence in such a cold weather. The beasts in the forest are more ferocious than usual, and many people will freeze to death." Ah Qing has been hunting for many years, It is clear how terrifying the mountains and forests in winter are.
It's not migration, it's to compete for food and women. The atmosphere in the tent was a bit heavy, and even Wu Si stopped smiling and looked serious——at any time, the number of people is the key to determining the outcome of a battle.
"Ah Qing, what happened to the ditch that I said to dig last time?" Ke Tu thought for a long time. The current advantage of the tribe is the crossbow that is good at long-distance attack, and the trap that Xie Yi mentioned.
"Half dug already."
"You and Lang Ye lead people to guard the cave these days, and dig the trench as soon as possible. I will take the stones and them to find the place where the red earth people live. If there are too many of them, we will guard In the cave, if there are only a few people I met today, I will kill them immediately."
Ke Tu killed decisively, quite the courage of the head of a clan.
Xie Yi found a comfortable place to nest in the corner, "Ah Qing, give me all the animal tendons you have these days, and I will make some crossbows tomorrow. This kind of weapon can be used by women and children.
" Nodding, a smile finally appeared in his eyes.
Although it had been agreed upon, Xie Yi could still feel Ketu's restlessness, whether it was absent-mindedness during dinner or the sound of the animal skin turning over and over again.
He got up and called Ketu out.
"Are you worried about the Hongtu tribe?" Xie Yi patted his side and told Ketu to sit down.
"Well," Ketu replied after a long silence, "When I first became the patriarch, I hoped that the Kasa tribe could be as strong as the Hongtu tribe. Several tribes near us were invaded by the Hongtu tribe. If we are defeated by the Red Earth people, all my people will be killed and the women will be captured and enslaved, so I must win." He paused, "I will definitely protect my people, you and Kemu's."
Xie Yi used to fight side by side with his teammates. It was the first time he heard someone say that he wanted to protect him, but he didn't find it ridiculous. Instead, he felt an inexplicable emotion flooding his heart.
He suddenly remembered the night when his parents passed away together, he was nestled in the corner alone, the door was blown open by the howling cold wind outside, but he didn't dare to close it, so he could only stay huddled until dawn. At that time, what was he thinking...
Xie Yi picked up the corners of his mouth in the dark night, and hugged Ketu sideways, "Okay, I believe you." Early the
next morning, Ketu brought a dozen tribesmen with him When they set off, everyone carried a crossbow and a bamboo tube full of arrows on their backs, and held a stone spear in their hands.
Xie Yi took Kemu and Duolu to make crossbow arrows in the tent, and occasionally went out to guide Ah Qing and the others on the trench they dug. In the tense atmosphere of preparing for the war, everyone in the clan was very busy, and Guoli also brought a woman to sharpen the spikes to be buried in the trench.
Xie Yi worked all day and finally finished the crossbow. He looked at the sky outside and it was already dark.
"Brother Xie Yi, why haven't they come back yet?" Ke Mu didn't have any intention of cooking at all, so he ran to the entrance of the cave to look at it several times.
Xie Yi was also a little worried. Gosang was the most cunning person he had ever seen in the primitive society. Ketu had little chance of winning against him. He took the saber and walked to the entrance of the tent. After hesitating for a moment, he turned the Desert Eagle out again, loaded the bullet and loaded it.
"You two stay well in the tent, don't run around, I'll go find Ketu."
"Brother Xie Yi, I want to go with you." When Kemu heard that he was looking for his brother, he followed regardless.
Doru also stood up and followed behind without saying a word.
"Nonsense!" Xie Yi's face turned cold, "You two go back and cook!"
Although Xie Yi was always friendly to Ke Mu, after all, he was a person who groped in the bloody battlefield. Ke Mu flinched from being yelled at, and went back obediently.
Dolu looked at Xie Yi strangely several times before following him back. Ke Mu is well-behaved on weekdays, but when he gets stubborn, even Ke Tu can't hold back. This is the first time Duolu has seen him so obedient.
Xie Yicai was not in the mood to care about the children's emotions, so he went straight out of the cave and greeted Ah Qing who was guarding the cave entrance, "I'll go find Ketu."
"Hey, no, it's too dangerous to be alone after dark." Before Ah Qing finished speaking, Xie Yi had already walked a hundred meters away, so anxious that he picked up the stone spear and chased after him, "Xie Yi, Xie Yi!"
"The patriarch and the others are back." Suddenly a voice came from the people patrolling outside. .
Seeing that Xie Yi stopped, Ah Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and welcomed Ke Tu and the others back to the cave.
Ke Tu took quite a few people with him, and he was not injured at all, but his complexion was not good-looking, and Ah Qing's heart skipped a beat, could it be that the worst had happened. "Patriarch, there are a lot of Hongtu people here?"
Ketu shook his head, "We found where they lived, but we didn't see a single person when it was almost dark, so we had to come back first.
" Are you really looking for a suitable place to live?" Ah Qing was surprised.
"I don't know, I'll take someone over to have a look tomorrow." Ke Tu looked around, "Where's Xie Yi? I heard you call his name just now."
"I'm here," Xie Yi said to Desert Eagle and Putting away the saber, he walked out from the shadows.
Ketu took out a bunch of silver-gray things from his arms and handed them to him, "This thing looks very similar to the thread you wanted last time. I don't know if it is, so I brought some back."
Xie Yi took it over and saw that it was hemp fiber. He didn't expect that Ketu still remembered the last time he said about changing the thread, "Where did you find this?"
"The place where the Hongtu people live."
"This thing can indeed be used as thread, but I don't know how to do it. ." Xie Yi tried to twist the two hemp fibers together.
The fibers tangle easily and appear stronger than they should be.
"I'll give this thing to Qing Shui, she is dexterous, let her think about it carefully." Xie Yi squeezed the fiber ball, "It's a pity that this thing is too little, if we can find hemp to make rope, we can find a way to spin it Come out with cloth."
"Hemp? What is it?"
"I don't know too well, it should be a kind of thin and tall grass, look for it slowly in the future, and you will find it." If it is a weapon or something, Xie Yi can do it Say one, two, three, but these messy things, he only knows some things that modern people know.
