From Chief to Ball

"It's the same with us. They fled to the mountains."

"What are you doing here?"

"Go thank that tribe."

"What are you carrying?"

"Fawns, lambs, and our sweet thatch root."

There is also a very important point, they are worried that that tribe will not know that they have combed their hair, and even the Meteor tribe will be completely wiped out, they know that they can't stop it.

These people knew the result of the Battle of the Valley in different ways.

Some were guesses, some were seen with their own eyes, and some were told by other tribes, but they were all the same. The Meteorite tribe, which was once powerful enough to make them tremble, disappeared overnight.

They want to see with their own eyes how powerful this settlement that defeated the Meteorite tribe is, and to see whether their lives are as prosperous as Xue Tiansong said.

So some people carried animal cubs on their backs, while others might just carry a bunch of acorns, or even just a nice stone.

Carry on their backs what they think is the most precious thing they can find, and dedicate it to their ancestors, to that tribe.

On the way up the river, the footprints and traces of the army a few days ago were still there, winding towards the direction of the setting sun, and they followed the trampled grass traces.

When the wild folk's village appeared before them, they thought it was that tribe.

A neat row of wooden houses, very low, with hollowed out ground inside.But in their eyes, this is beyond nature.

With the most respectful tone and words, they greeted the people who were cutting down trees and expressed their thanks.

However, those who felled the trees told them that the real person to thank was still far away, and there was a city there.

"What is a city?"

With such doubts, they moved on.

On the calm river, a few people stood on a piece of tree bark, just floating on the river, sprinkled a kind of rope, and after a while, the flash of fish scales hurt their eyes.

These people knelt on the ground, thinking that they had seen a miracle, and they could have fish to eat just by waving their hands.Perhaps, the city is floating on the water?

But the people on the river told them that this was not a city yet, and they had to continue walking up the river.

Those people's originally apprehensive mood is now only shocked, and even a little pious, imagining what the city will look like...

Soon, several riders riding horned deer surrounded them.

Those people were not afraid. They had seen this kind of animal in winter, and they only felt a little familiar when they saw it.

The shiny blue-gray weapons in the riders' hands made them a little uneasy, and they trembled and explained clearly what they came for. After checking that there were only a few stone tools on their bodies, the riders led the way.

After turning the bend in the river, the rider pointed to the distance and said, "That's our city."

The people behind covered the sun with their hands, looking at the black city wall and the surrounding river in the distance, as if a beast with a size of several hundred paces was lying there, blue and white smoke columns rose up, and there was a moo from time to time cry.

"The city is a crouching beast? You live in the belly of the beast?"

The rider smiled and led these people around the wheat field without saying a word.

A strange floral fragrance wafted in the air, those people thought it was the smell of the beast named Chengyi, it smelled very good, neither shameful nor stinky, sweet and somewhat intoxicating.

Not far away, a group of people were digging the ground with stone hoes.

They wore tattered animal skins, some of them were tied with ropes, and several people followed behind with something like an animal tail.

One person moved a little slower, but was severely whipped by the person behind him, let out a scream, and sped up his speed.

Those people recognized that the one who was beaten was the tribe to the east of their own, and they secretly rejoiced that their tribe was not involved in the big war, otherwise they might be the one who was beaten today.

Across this piece of land that is still being reclaimed, the number of people gradually increased.

It was no longer the grey-faced, slow-planing people, but a group of cheerfully singing people, who were also working, but they didn't follow behind and whip.

Some were wearing linen clothes, some were still wrapped in animal skins, but their faces were all clean.Don't work fast or slow, take a break when you are tired, or chat a few words, or sing a few times.

Some people carried the captured wild animals to the city, and some people carried the clay pots they had exchanged for to the downstream.

A group of sheep that were supposed to run away when they saw someone was grazing quietly beside them.There is also a group of pigs who are also pressing their mouths against the ground, making grunting noises. They are not afraid of people, and they seem to be able to grab them with their hands when they want to eat.

All of this subverted their cognition, until they saw the flag erected on the battlements, it suddenly dawned on them - under the protection of their ancestors, nothing is impossible.

Two wooden bridges span the ditch outside the city wall, one goes in and the other goes out, in an orderly manner.

The rider turned back and said, "You guys wait here, I'll tell Jian."

"Jian? Who is that?"

The rider showed an inexplicable expression, and said proudly: "The person who led us to defeat the Meteor tribe is our war leader."

A man finally asks the question he's always wanted to know.

"How many of you... have died?"

The rider thought for a while, grabbed a handful of hairs from the shedding horned deer, counted dozens of hairs and handed them over, "So many died."

The person who had caught the sand was stunned, looking at the little ball of deer hair, and sat down on the ground.

After a while, a thunderous sound came from the city. These people looked up at the sky, but found that there were no dark clouds.

The rider ran out in a hurry and said, "You can go in now."

The group of people swallowed their saliva, and with an indescribable feeling, they stepped on the bridge and walked into the... city that troubled them all the way.

Chapter 61 Rules and Rulers

Everything in order dazzles those who step into the city for the first time, but there are many people but not chaotic, walking on both sides of the road.Riders say that's the rule.

Cities are square and measured with a square.The square in the center is a circle, and it was drawn by people stretching the rope tied in the center and winding it around.The rider said this is also the rule.

These people think rules are good, even though they are hearing the word for the first time and have no idea where it came from.

But soon they saw the other side of the rules.

Not far away, five grown men were crying, and a grown man with a beard was crying, which made these people feel a little scary.

Five of them had bunny ears on their tied hair, and one had a cloth wrapped around his arm, which was bleeding, obviously injured.

The five cried and walked out of the city.The rabbit ears are ugly, no man wants to be a cowardly rabbit, but those five people did not take off the rabbit ears.

The group looked at it for a while, and asked the rider in front of them, "Aren't these people from your tribe?"
