Seeing that Kuading understood, Yan Mo invited Yuan Zhan over again.
"Does the tribe have livestock? They raise horses, cattle and sheep."
Yuan Zhan didn't understand why he asked this, but he still replied: "There are sheep, a large flock is caught every autumn, and they are raised until the winter is finished, and they are caught again in the next year. Horses and cattle are not easy to raise, and those caught alive will be killed quickly. Lose."
"Why are horses and cows difficult to raise?" Yan Mo knew it was wrong as soon as he uttered this sentence.
He remembered that the cows here are not only huge in size, but also have extremely sharp horns and are extremely powerful. However, the people here are backward in hunting methods, and they don't know how to use traps. Rush forward and chop with stone knives, so an adult cow often requires the cooperation of multiple fighters to kill.
As for horses, because of their fast speed and strong vigilance, so far I have only heard that the Bairi people have a special way to subdue horses for their use. Other nearby tribes have not heard of anyone who can ride a horse, and they often kill them. Take more meat.
The so-called animal husbandry and breeding here are basically based on natural breeding. For example, the Yanshan tribe is similar to the Yuanji tribe. They also brought a group of sheep and other herbivores in autumn, drove them into a big pit, and used the grass half-dead every day. They are raised, and the old and the weak are killed first when there is a lack of food, until they are eaten up in winter, and then they are caught again in the next year, and the cycle repeats every year.
The eagle not far away said strangely: "Can the Yanshan tribe raise horses? You also have the blessing of the horse god? I thought that only the worshiping sun tribe is the descendant of the horse god and people."
Now these people all know that Yan Mo is a member of the Yanshan tribe who escaped.
"Uh, I heard from the people of the Sun Salt Exchange that they generally know how to raise horses." Yan Mo had no choice but to say.
"Ah?!" Both Dashan and Diao were extremely surprised, "They actually told other people how to raise horses? That's their biggest secret! Then did they tell you how to make those horses obey?"
Yan Mo... nodded.
Yuan Zhan's expression was subtle, and he didn't stop the boy. At least the people in this tent would not harm him. And in the future, when they leave the tribe and go far away, no matter how strange the young man is, they will not be able to run back to the tribe to report.
That's right, Yuan Zhan didn't tell his good brothers that he didn't plan to come back no matter what the result was when he went out this time.
If he came back, no matter whether he could find a new salt field or not, the old priest would definitely dislike him even more, and consequently, the old priest's opinion of the Xirang people would get worse and worse. Although it is still not obvious that the old priests reject the Xirang people, no one will know in the future.
And if he dies outside or never comes back again, the old priest has no one to target, and the chief will feel guilty about him because of this, then the Xirang tribe will not be rejected as the third generation chief candidate after the chief Outside, the old priest might have to support the chief's idea in order to appease the anger of the Rang and Feisha people.
Everyone in the tribe knew that going out to find salt this time was almost a mortal mission, and the only people who went on this mission were the Xirang and Feisha tribes. Master Qiushi, who was the original priest of the Heiyuan tribe, was so confused and narrow-minded that he had no opinion on such a candidate. If the chief hadn't forced the ice from the Heiyuan tribe into the team, if their team never came back in the future, the Xirang tribe and the Feisha tribe would definitely have a fight.
He'd thought the same thing before, but running out with no purpose would just die pointlessly, and this time his little slave gave him a good excuse. Now, whether he lives or dies outside, it will be of great benefit to the Sirang people and the tribe.
Seeing Yan Mo nodding, Dashan and Diao were so excited that they didn't even do their work, and when they crowded up, they wanted to ask him how to catch and raise horses.
"Let's talk about this later, do things first." Yan Mo said with a stern face.
Dashan and Diao were frightened by the serious faces of the little slaves. Fortunately, the people of the Yuanji tribe did not have a deep concept of the class division of individual slaves, and some of them got along well just like brothers or wives. I didn't feel disgusted by the tone of the crime, but I felt a little uncomfortable. The child used to smile silly when he saw them.
Yuan Zhan slapped Yan Mo on the head as soon as he came up.
Yan Mo endured, forced a smile to Da Shan and Diao Nan.
"Pfft!" Diao Le was delighted, stretched out his hand to rub the little slave's head, and said casually, "You must have been a sacrificial disciple before, you know so much, and you still have such...aura."
Yuan Zhan pushed Diao, "Okay, stop teasing him, and do something quickly."
Dashan looked at Yan Mo thoughtfully, then turned around and continued to drill holes in the animal skin, without saying a word. In fact, as early as the day the young man rescued Da He, they suspected that the young man was a disciple of a priest who was in trouble, but they didn't get any confirmation from the young man.
Apart from Yuan Zhan, Cao Ding was the person present who was most sure of the identity of Yan Mo's sacrificial disciple. She kept her head down and did not worry about the boy's safety, because she knew that her master and Master Dashan had already guessed, including Brown Tu And Dahe-sama, but even if everyone knows, they will not tell others about the boy.
Once people feel safe, their nature will be exposed a little bit. Although Yan Mo hasn't left the tribe yet, seeing that hope is in front of him, he is also a little relaxed.
Being slapped by Yuan Zhan, he was not only angry that the other party disrespected him, but also restrained himself from acting like a child.
However, he was thirty-nine years old when he died, and it was indeed difficult for him to let a successful man who was nearly forty years old and successful in his career play a fourteen-year-old boy.
If it wasn't for the juvenile's memory merging with himself, he might have exposed many more flaws. Even if it is a professional actor with first-class acting skills, if you let a middle-aged man of forty years old play a teenager, no matter how amazing the makeup is, it will make people feel awkward and unnatural.
Being a sacrificial disciple is fine, if people find out that an old monster from nowhere has taken over the boy's body, these superstitious primitive people will definitely try to kill him out of fear that their body will also be taken over, even if he No matter how capable you are.
Yan Mo became alert, and thinking about his changes in the past few days, he immediately became terrified.
Fortunately, he has a broken leg and can't go out to meet many people, and the time is not too long, otherwise his self-confident but extremely unnatural speaking tone, expression, attitude, and behavior will definitely attract suspicion from others.
Just like a mountain person standing next to a city person, you can often tell the difference at a glance.
A modern person and a primitive person stand together, even if the modern person is covered with a primitive person's shell, there may be no difference at first glance, but after a long time, anyone will notice that something is wrong, let alone he is still an adult. Put on a child's body!
Yan Mo broke out in a cold sweat.
I don't want to know, but after thinking about it carefully, I found out how many flaws he has!
At this moment, he even thanked God for letting him break his leg twice. If not, when he walks around the tribe every day to investigate in order to get more local information as soon as possible, his appearance must be very "outstanding" in the eyes of the original tribe people.
It takes time to get used to the way of speaking, walking, expression and attitude of a place, and he will only be as conspicuous as he has just arrived!
Just imagine a primitive boy who needs to tidy up his leather skirts when he goes out. When he squats and sits, he will involuntarily close his legs or cover important parts. Walking on foot, seeing a naked woman will avoid her eyes and be embarrassed to look more. Seeing a child on the ground or rummaging for food in animal feces will involuntarily show disgust and disgust. The carcass of the beast would be curious to see…
Even if he can't walk around outside without the above suspicious points, when he is in the tent, he has to boil the water for drinking, thoroughly cook the meat for eating, clean the house, and refuse to go to the toilet near the tent, let alone anywhere Defecation, face and body are secretly scrubbed with water every day, and things that fall on the ground will never be picked up to eat again. Clothes and bedding have to be taken to the door to shake and dry in the sun every day...
All in all, my God! Yan Mo held her head.
That is to say, Cao Ding didn't live with him, and Yuan Zhan had only been back for a few days, otherwise they would definitely not just suspect that he was just a sacrificial disciple of another clan.
"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Zhan thought that his slap was too hard and hurt the little slave.
Yan Mo lowered his hands and smiled miserably, "It's nothing, I just think I'm so stupid."
"Well, you are very stupid." As soon as you came, people guessed that you were a sacrificial disciple of another clan, as if you were afraid that others would not know, you taught this and that, and the most stupid thing was that you dared to use sacrificial methods to save people . But for the sake of saving the big river, we will cover up your stupidity.
Yan Mo couldn't hear Yuan Zhan's voice, otherwise he would definitely complain about it. He didn't want to attract attention as soon as he came, and he was never a kind person, and it wasn't all the damn reform guide that forced him!
"Stupid or not." Yan Mo broke the jar and said. At the same time, he is also carefully calculating in his mind that he will try his best to adapt to the local life, but the local people...at least the people living around him have to cooperate with him to make changes.
If conditions permit, he doesn't want to continue living such a primitive, dirty and insecure life.
But change cannot be done overnight, it has to be done slowly, just like the spring rain moistens things silently. And any change is meaningless if it does not first protect life.
so…
"Wait!" Yan Mo stopped Dashan and Diao, his eyes fell on the animal skin, he originally wanted to shock Yuan Zhan and others, using animal skin to make a simple armor, this simple armor method is not difficult.
First cut the large animal hide into pieces of suitable size square animal hide, the size of the animal hide should be just enough to protect the chest and back.
Drill holes around these small pieces of animal skin, and then stack them together, and tie the holes around them tightly with leather ropes, thus forming a rough thicker animal skin armor.
Several holes are left on the upper, left, and right sides of the animal skin armor, so that people can fasten the front and rear two animal skin armors.
Surplus hides can also be made into battle skirts, knee pads and wrist guards.
Such a set of warrior leather armor is made, and when Yuan Zhan and others put it on, coupled with their figures that are stronger than ancient Roman warriors, the effect must be very shocking!
But now he has changed his mind. He doesn't need to make something beautiful, as long as it is practical and can be used for multiple purposes.
Consider, for example, the fur coats worn by the ancient Mongols, the sleeveless kind.
To make this kind of clothes, if you don't want to be beautiful, but just to be practical, there is the simplest way to make this kind of clothes in the absence of tools.
That is, no cutting, two pieces of animal skins of similar size are stacked together, a row of holes are drilled at the top of the two shoulders, and a leather rope is drilled through the holes to tie them tightly. void.
This kind of clothes can be put on as long as one set is placed on the head, and the waist is rooted with straw ropes so that it will not sway. If the fur is too long, it can be folded at the waist and tied tightly with straw ropes.
Why not use a piece of fur to directly put a hole in the middle, but use two pieces of large animal skins to splice it together? Yan Mo also wants to bring as much protection as possible on his body. The clothes made in this way are easy to put on and take off, and can also be used as a bed at night.
The three Yuan Zhan who were stopped looked at him together.
Yan Mo also looked at them, or could he tell his plan and let them choose
After listening to Yan Mo's description, the three of them had a hard time choosing between them after some discussions, and finally decided to have both. If you don't have enough furs, everyone gathers together, and if you don't have enough at home, you pick up tents.
Yan Mo told his thoughts about the package again, the original package couldn't hold much, and it was hard to carry. He asked Kusamachi to make two kinds of leather bags, namely, a long leather bag that can be worn across the body and a waist bag that can be tied around the waist. Because the stitching skills are not available, these two bags can only hold meat and some small things. , but the advantage is that it can be loaded more, while freeing both hands.
When Diao and Dashan heard that there were such convenient leather bags, they immediately clamored to make more so that they could all carry them on their backs.
Yan Moran, I dare say that you don't want to carry luggage, it's not because it's too heavy, but because you don't want to carry it with your hands.
In this way, it is impossible for the three of them to only do the work of the three of them. Yuan Zhan asked Diao to hunt and Meng, told them what to do and how to do it, asked them to prepare in their own tents, and told them not to let others know.
There were too many things to do and not enough manpower, so Dashan called his slave, Moshen, over and ripped off his own tent by the way.
Because many people know that Yuan Zhan will set out to find salt the next day, and no one is surprised to see how many people gather in Yuan Zhan’s tent. Seeing them dismantling the tent is only because they want to bring more furs outside. winter.
"Why both? How to wear it? One layer and one layer? You don't think it's too heavy now?" Yan Mo felt that Yuan Zhan and others were too greedy. They didn't want to bring anything before, but now they want to bring everything.
"Of course not. It's so inconvenient to hunt like that." Yuan Zhan took it for granted, "Both of them are needed. Warriors wear armor and slaves wear leather clothes. It's just right."
