Yan Mo originally wanted to activate the original sculpture to help him find herbs and other useful things, but considering Yuan Shan's attitude after seeing the wood chips he painted, he postponed this plan.
For the next three days, Yan Mo stayed low-key in the tent to recover from his injuries, without showing any publicity. Brown Earth came to see him every day and would bring him something to eat every time.
And the food brought by the brown earth is richer than what Cao Ding brought him. In addition to meat, there are occasional wild fruits and the like. Once Yan Mo ate fruits similar to red dates.
Although Yan Mo didn't walk out of the tent, it doesn't mean he just stayed in the tent and did nothing.
For a better life in the future, and for the escape route in the future, he tried to draw a topographical distribution map centered on the Yanshan tribe based on the memories left by this body.
There are several large and small tribes near the Yanshan tribe. The young man doesn't remember exactly how many tribes there are. He only remembers a few famous ones.
In addition to salt, the Yanshan people's territory is also good in the surrounding environment, and they can basically be self-sufficient. This is probably one of the reasons why the Yanshan people attacked them.
The original territory of the Shi tribe is said to be the most desolate, resulting in a particularly tough people. Both men and women in the tribe can be warriors. When necessary, they will feed on the weak in the tribe so that the strong can survive.
It is said that the snake people live in a valley with very good conditions. It is not cold in winter and not hot in summer. The valley is rich in produce, and there are abundant and clean underground water sources. Their lives are relatively good among several nearby tribes. .
Other tribes are also very greedy for the territory of the snake people, but the snake people are good at driving snakes, using poison, and have the ability to move on the ground. Once attacked, the whole race will entangle them endlessly, so ordinary people dare not provoke them.
The Bairi people live in the grasslands, are good at riding horses, come and go like the wind, and are good at hunting. The whole tribe lives in no fixed place, chasing various herds of cattle and sheep all the year round. This tribe is also one of the largest customers of the Yanshan tribe.
All of the above, together with what the young man had seen and heard during the days when he fled and migrated with his tribe and his general understanding of the original tribes, Yan Mo speculated that these tribes should live in the middle of the inland. Judging from the dry climate and the large temperature difference between morning and evening, it should be far away from the ocean, and there may be tall mountains in the middle.
He just didn't know whether it was a temperate continental climate or a plateau continental climate. He had to go out to see the plants and animals here to know.
If this is a plateau area, the distribution of vegetation will be very different. If it is a temperate continental climate, then the vegetation will be dominated by grasslands and deserts.
Yan Mo does not intend to stay in the original tribe, not only because he will become a slave here, but also from his point of view, the environment here is not suitable for the development of a tribe at all. If he wants to live better, he must Find another place.
This is the good thing about primitive society. The place is large and the population is small, so you can grab it for yourself. It’s just that he is alone. If he wants to leave, he must be fully prepared. Otherwise, only the beasts and savages along the way will gnaw him into scum. It is best to trick a few people with relatively high strength to go with him. .
Hunting, building houses, finding resources, occupying land, and protecting oneself all require manpower. A person wants to live well in primitive society unless he is a god.
If he wanted to find a suitable man, he had to be able to walk quickly.
Yan Mo was not worried about this at all.
In just four days, his bones had grown together; on the fifth day, his wound had healed to the point where only an irregular red mark remained.
He asked Kusamachi that people here heal quickly if they have minor injuries, and as long as they survive major injuries, the healing period for broken bones usually takes half a month. But serious injuries like Yan Mo's are usually amputated, and few survive. Even if they can grow well, they will be disabled, and it will take a long time.
After knowing this, Yan Mo's legs can obviously walk on the ground, but he still tied wooden planks and asked Kusamachi to carry him back and forth for convenience.
Yan Mo doesn't think that a body that can heal quickly is a blessing given to him by God, he just thinks that God doesn't want him to waste his time on healing and recuperating. In short, there is only one purpose - to make him reform!
"Xiao Mo! The hunting team is back! Your master is back!" Kusamachi's excited cry came from outside the tent.
Yan Mo responded, took out three gold needles from the guide's reward list, and inserted them into the animal skin wristband on his left hand. The reward list is too cumbersome to retrieve. You have to call out the reward list page first, and you have to touch the desired item before you can take out the desired item.
After several verifications, no tricky method was found, which caused someone to feel extremely upset. It is so troublesome to use it. If I am in a hurry to use the golden needle to save my life, how can there be time
The guide cannot be relied on, only oneself. So Yan Mo made himself a wristband that can be used to insert and remove gold needles easily.
This animal skin wristband was made by him in the past two days. Because there was no suitable seam and stitches, he didn't use a needle. A leather rope made of animal hides is passed through these small holes, and finally tied at both ends.
Hope this bracer doesn't draw attention to others.
Yan Mo looked left and right, a little uneasy. A slave with such a beautiful and protective wristband seems too eye-catching.
After thinking for a while, Yan Mo pulled out the three golden needles, and inserted them into his straw rope belt for internal testing. If the wristband is exposed and no one notices, it will not be too late to insert it back.
Kusakachi lifted the curtain and came in with a joyful expression on his face. When the hunting team came back, it indicated that the original sculpture could get some fresh meat and furs, and as the original sculpture's slave, she would naturally be able to enjoy the same. Because there is not so much salt to marinate the jerky, everyone will have enough food for the first two days after hunting, even the slaves, so whenever the hunting team returns, it is a great joy for the whole tribe.
"The hunting team is about to enter the tribe. Everyone will go to the square today. I will carry you with me. Your master will be very happy to see you!"
Yan Mo didn't want to meet his fluffy boy master, but he wanted to know how many people there were in this tribe, what was their age and gender distribution, so he didn't refuse.
Kusamachi ran to the square with Yan Mo on his back.
Someone ran out of almost every tent, and everyone had a smile on their face.
It was the first time Yan Mo heard so many voices and saw so many people in the past few days. Children kept running past him, yelling, and the adults ignored them.
Some people greeted Kuading, some wondered about Yan Mo on her back, but at this moment, everyone rushed to the square, and no one chased after Kuading to ask what happened.
More and more people gathered in the square, Yan Mo was carried by Cao Ding to her master's side, Yuan Shan and Brown Earth were also there, besides the immovable Da He, his two children also came.
Kusamachi put Yan Mo down and let him stand with one leg against himself.
Yan Mo bent down with Yuan Diao and the others. The etiquette of the slaves to the upper class here is kneeling and bending down.
Probably in order not to attract attention, Yuan Diao and others, including Chen Tu, ignored him.
Yan Mo noticed that standing behind Yuanshan was a big boy between a teenager and a young man. The boy's appearance was a little different from that of the Yuanji tribe.
The members of the Yuanji tribe are all tall and big, with deep facial contours, darker eyeballs, and tanned skin. The boy was thin and feminine, with fair skin and green eyes. He could be seen as a person of two races.
"That's Mosquito, a former member of the Snake People tribe, Master Dashan bought four honeydew melons." Cao Ding said.
It turned out that last time I ate a quarter of the slaves, Yan Mo remained silent.
"Mr. Mosquito doesn't like to talk and has a gloomy temper, but he's a nice guy. You'll know it when you meet him."
Yan Mo nodded to the mosquito. Mosquito also nodded to him.
There was a sudden commotion in front of the square, and a huge team could be seen approaching the tribe from a distance.
Someone ran back and yelled frantically: "A bumper harvest! A bumper harvest! Lots of prey!"
The crowd cheered.
Yan Mo's eyes flicked across the crowd, and he frowned slightly.
There are more men and fewer women. There are more adults and fewer children. As for the old people, they are surprisingly few. In fact, they are old people. Although these people have deep wrinkles on their faces, they still look healthy. Just judging from their appearance, it is possible that the priest he saw last time was from this tribe. The oldest person here
Such a population composition is absolutely unreasonable and not suitable for development.
"The chiefs, priests and elders are here!" Cao Ding pulled Yan Mo to sit on the ground, and then she knelt down herself.
The crowd parted like Moses divided the sea, with the chief at the front, the priests in the middle, and the elders at the end entering the square.
All slaves kneel down.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Yuan Diao, Yuan Shan and Brown Tu's family happened to block Yan Mo who was sitting on the ground, while Cao Ding and Mo Sheng knelt on either side of the boy.
After the chief and the others passed by, Kuading and Mosquito supported Yan Mo to stand up again.
The chief and others stood at the front of the square, and everyone stood behind them. No one dared to pass them, including ignorant children.
The huge team in the distance gradually approached.
Because of the terrain, although Yan Mo was standing behind, he could still see the whole picture of the team.
... fuck it!
This was Yan Mo's first impression of this team.
He thought it would be a group of wildlings in leather skirts, carrying a pile of dead prey on their shoulders and carrying a pile of dead prey.
But what did he see now
He actually saw an army!
Moreover, he has undergone strict training at first glance, and has a terrifying discipline!
The entire army is composed of young and middle-aged men, all of them are wearing leather skirts, holding wooden spears, they don't wear shoes, they are mostly naked, but anyone who sees them will understand their bodies It is their most powerful weapon!
Sweat made their bronzed and even dark skin glow, as if oiled.
The solid and raised muscles are as solid as stone, making one doubt that even the claws of wild beasts can't break them.
Many people had blood and injuries on their bodies, but no one stopped or showed pain because of this. Those who were really seriously injured could not come back, and those who could return could at least walk back to the tribe on their own two legs.
The steps taken by each warrior seemed to be the same size, and the entire team of about a thousand people was divided into four square formations, guarding the prey carried or pulled by the slaves in the middle.
If the slaves dared to slow down, the overseer would immediately drive them away with whips.
They have clearly reached the scope of their own tribe, and they have clearly reached the most central residence, but these soldiers who formed a square formation still did not relax, and the team did not even lose shape.
Enemies may appear anytime and anywhere. They not only have to fight with wild beasts, but also with all the tribal warriors who are greedy for their prey along the way. Even at the door of the house, there is no slack, because there are also hunters from the air.
Yan Mo subconsciously covered his heart.
Shocked to shock!
It's not that he hasn't seen a more powerful army, but he never thought that such a primitive tribe would have developed such a murderous weapon of war.
In fact, it is not terrible for an army to be murderous and forceful. No matter how strong a single soldier is, it is not as strong as a team.
But when an army has terrible discipline, then they are already qualified to be scary, not to mention their individual force value cannot be ignored!
His ancestors, Yan Mo muttered to himself, he still underestimated these primitive people.
