"Now there are four tribes following us. Shall we bring them back together?" Farmer Li Endong pointed outside.
The five of them all had the surname of Li Family Zhuangzi. They were slaves bought with Li Endong as the head, followed by East, West, North, South, and Central.
Along the way, they would occasionally meet other people. Some of them would talk and then leave, exchanging their prey with them.
After it snowed, the small tribes obviously encountered difficulties in survival.
It snowed half a month after last year. This year, it snowed early, and the snow was heavy.
The small tribes had two or three hundred people. If they did not see the soldiers of the Tang dynasty, they would still persevere even if some of them froze to death. This was survival.
When they encountered a large force of five thousand people, there were so many horses and things, and they wore the same uniform.
Such a force itself represented strength. It would be easy for them to destroy their own tribe.
After communicating, they learned that they were from the Tang dynasty, the people of the Li Family Zhuangzi who were rumored to be exchanging things here.
The small tribes thought about it and were willing to follow.
They would first go to the Governor's Mansion in Bohai Sea together, and then turn back to the seaside together.
When they came back, they would not take the original route. If they waited in the same place, they would freeze to death. What if they could not find the soldiers of the Tang dynasty?
"Would the owner care about a thousand or eight hundred people? Take them. "
Li Endi threw a pine cone into the fire pit, and there was another crackling sound.
"It will delay the journey. What do you think?" Li Endong looked at the other three people.
"Dongzhu did not ask for time. Let them throw away the useless things and help them carry the items for exchange."
Li Endi supported bringing people back, and the people who went back were Dongzhu's people.
Li Endan opened the lid of the pot and took a look. "Dongzhu knows that we can bring people back but don't. He will think that we are not strong enough."
"Yes, burn their firewood. They carry a pile of firewood on their backs. There are many dry branches in the forest.
In winter, it is dry and cold, and can be burned. They have few tools to collect firewood, so they collect firewood in summer and autumn.
This kind of poverty is different from us. We are poor, but the people around us can live, but we are poor.
I really don't know how they survive. They wear clothes made of straw, and the hunting pelts are not treated well.
When the leather is pierced with holes, we can cut a strip of leather or make a straw rope to wear shoes. When you walk in the snow, you will be freezing and stomping your feet. You still need our help. "
Li Enzhong had a deeper understanding of poverty. It was poverty without skills.
He was sold as a slave for his own reasons.
Before it was bought by Dongzhu, it had two owners. It was normal for it to be beaten and scolded. It was also normal for it to not eat well.
In the winter, the master was afraid that he would freeze to death, so there would be fewer people to work. At least there would be a place to live and straw.
When the host was happy, the leftovers could be eaten.
In this place, if one couldn't survive in winter, begging others was useless. The entire tribe was the same.
If there was leather, it could be turned into clothes after some processing. There was no need to tan it properly.
With the skills he had learned in Zhuangzi, leading a tribe of more than two hundred people was guaranteed to be stronger than the tribes that followed him. Yes, a hundred times stronger.
Thinking about it, he said, "If I stay, I will definitely lead the local tribe to become stronger."
"Alright, you stay. We'll go back and say that you're dead. I promise I won't betray you. Just wait until you've developed and become the emperor yourself. "
Li Enxi looked at Li Enzhong mockingly, as if he had high hopes for Li Enzhong.
"I won't! Dongzhu will personally fly over to take me back. It doesn't matter how many guards I have.
I've only learned a little bit. Who in Zhuangzi doesn't know?
If I get sick, I don't know how to treat it myself. "
Li Enzhong was arrogant when facing the local tribe. They didn't know the skills.
But when facing the four people around him, he was very ordinary.
"Today, I saw a large patch of Ural grass.
Tomorrow, I'll bring them to cut it and beat them with a stick.
The brothers in the southwest will be responsible for processing the leather for them. At least they can put the Ural grass in.
The brothers in the southwest are not bad. They're willing to learn. "
Seeing that everyone agreed to take him away, Li Endong began to arrange the next things. At the same time, he said that the 'skills' would depend on Li Enzhong.
What skills? Are there many skills written in the newspapers?
Do you want to organize a set of newspapers printed in Zhuangzi from the beginning to now and send them to you to help you build your country?
Dongzhu will personally capture you? Haha! Are you worthy?
"Let's eat. Since we've decided to take them, let's start teaching them some skills."
Li Enbei didn't want to waste time and opened the lid of the pot.
The perforated handle on the lid could be removed. It was convenient to stack the lids together.
The bowls they used to eat were enamel. They could also be placed on top of each other to save space.
They didn't bring chopsticks. They had to find some branches to deal with it.
When the wind outside swept through the ditch, it made a whistling sound.
The leaders of the four tribes gathered together. They had the same idea.
If a tribe was small, it was likely to be exterminated in a disaster.
If they followed other large tribes and went to ask for help, they had to rush to the front to do the hard work.
When the weather was good, they had to leave enough things to express their gratitude before they could be divided again.
Generally, they had to leave women and fur.
If they couldn't hold on, they would completely merge into the tribe. They wouldn't be the leader.
"It looks like we won't be able to survive this year. No matter who we follow, we'll follow the Tang dynasty."
A man with frostbite on the left side of his face said as he guarded the bonfire. They entered the tent.
There was a fire outside. They squatted by the bonfire and ate.
Half of a roe deer was placed over the fire. They used a knife to cut the meat.
"It's the Li Family Zhuangzi. The Li Family Zhuangzi is powerful. I want to see Li Yi."
Another man who was missing half of his pinkie said. He cut a piece of meat, carefully sprinkled some refined salt on it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The refined salt was given by the Li Family Zhuangzi. They couldn't get salt where they were.
They had to exchange things with others for sea salt. Boiled sea salt was very expensive.
Sea salt wasn't cooked well. It was bitter and astringent.
The Li Family Zhuangzi brought refined salt to the team, as well as pepper, chili powder, pepper powder, ginger powder …
The people of the tribe couldn't bear to eat it. They only put a little in the stew and drank all the soup.
"Yes, begging is begging. Life is too hard. Go to the Tang dynasty.
How many things can be exchanged for the Li Family Zhuangzi's things? The Li Family Zhuangzi is capable. "
The man who was wearing a mink hat that had lost a lot of fur made up his mind.
He thought it through. Looking for other tribes, two or three thousand people. Would his tribe have refined salt to eat if they went there?
Look at the Li Family Zhuangzi's army. They had good bows, knives, and shields.
The clothes they wore were heavy. They weren't afraid of freezing to death even if they lay in the snow.
"Tomorrow morning, go find them. Give them whichever woman they like."
The man with a full beard ate a piece of meat and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. He was willing to pay the price.
He only thought that the women of his tribe were good. He didn't consider the village lord's taste at all.
The night passed. The next morning, it didn't snow. The reflection of the snow was dazzling.
Li Endong and the others saw a group of women. Their eyes were filled with affection.
"I finally know the difference between me and Dongzhu. Dongzhu is surrounded by Pyong Kang Square's' big families'. If it were me, why would I be treated like this?"
Li Endong didn't have the slightest interest. The weather is so cold. I haven't taken a bath in a long time like you.
I want to go back to Zhuangzi and take a bath in the big pool. Life here is too hard.
