In the blink of an eye, summer came, and the tribes were facing the sun without the cover of large trees. I intuitively felt that the distance between the caves had shrunk a lot.
Tang Tong washed the animal skins and was drying clothes on the tree trunk outside the cave. The female in the distance yelled at her and greeted her twice. Tang Tong responded with a few perfunctory words. Kong Jia came out of the cave and saw her partner's expression was not good. , asked softly: "What's wrong?"
"Now I can see people in the tribe every time I wash clothes, and it's not as quiet as before."
Kong Jia rubbed the angry female's hair: "This is arranged by Meng Sheng. There are many people in the tribe who are dissatisfied. Don't be angry. It will be bad for the child if you get angry."
Tang Tong clasped her stomach with her hands, changed her arrogant face and became much gentler.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Tong raised her eyes, only to see Tang Yu striding towards him: "Why is Big Brother here?"
"Brother Kong Jia and I were talking about the inconvenient loss of trees in the forest."
"Oh? Is it inconvenient? It's because you girl hasn't gotten used to it yet. I've heard everyone say that it's pretty good. Now you can meet and chat when you have nothing to do. The relationship between the people in the tribe is much closer than before."
Kong Jia's complexion darkened when he heard the words. Tang Yu used to hold the same objection against Meng Sheng as he did, but now he affirms Meng Sheng's achievements. He didn't say anything. Tang Tong has a straight temper. After all, they are a family and can say anything. : "Why is the eldest brother helping outsiders to speak now, what about the second brother? Why didn't the second brother come?"
"I also just came back from your second brother. He is obsessed with making pottery now, and he doesn't go back to the cave to sleep at night."
Tang Dun didn't have any position in the tribe, but he was doing the leader's job. The key was that a group of natives were still convinced. This made Kong Jia, who was originally the deputy chief, who had nothing to do except hunting all day long, feel very uncomfortable.
He neither digs wild vegetables to plant like other families, nor does he raise animals. He just lives by hunting in the way he used to, but now he seems out of place in the tribe. In just a few months, the tribe was overthrown by Meng Sheng. Made a mess.
"Big Brother originally visited Second Brother first and then came to see me. I thought it was a special visit. I was so happy."
Tang Yu laughed loudly: "There are people who have children, why are they so cautious when they speak?"
"By the way, Kongjia, why haven't you plowed the land? Didn't I send some live pheasants and a basket of eggs? Why haven't they been raised? Eggs and hens are very popular in the tribe. "Tang Yu looked at the still hard land and didn't even dig the roots of the trees. Before that, Meng Sheng only arranged for the natives to cut down the trees. As for digging the roots and loosening the soil, it was his own business.
Kong Jia chuckled mockingly: "Brother is doing this even if he's not hunting now. It seems that our priest is really good at it. Even those who don't like him are very obedient to him."
Tang Tong tugged at the corner of his partner's clothes, motioned him to stop talking, and smoothed things over: "Let me eat the eggs and the hen. If you have a child, you need to make up for it."
Tang Yu knew that it was just rhetoric, so he snorted coldly. He used to think that Kong Jia was arrogant and refused to admit defeat, but now he thinks that this person is stubborn and doesn't think about the whole tribe. Although what Meng Sheng did was bold, but Both are leading the tribe forward, and he has also seen a better life for the people. It seems that his younger brother Tang Dun has a sharper vision.
"Kong Jia, let me put my ugly words first, I don't care if you don't like Meng Sheng, but if you have no skills, you have to follow the orders of the tribe."
After speaking, he left angrily.
After a busy spring, under the guidance of Meng Sheng, the aborigines started raising poultry and planting wild vegetables, and the tribe changed drastically in a short time.
Meng Sheng and the natives in the tribe went to dig jute and planted it. He wanted to grow this plant on a large scale. First, hemp is used in all aspects of life. Second, it is summer, and the weather is getting hot. Wearing animal skin clothes Not to mention sweating all over from the cover, there are not many animal skins. If there is too much hemp, it will be easier to make hemp clothes in the future.
Walking back, he met Tang Yu who looked unhappy, and the natives greeted him: "Deputy Chief."
"Did you dig hemp?" Tang Yu said, seeing Meng Sheng again, he rarely took the initiative to talk to him, "A large number of metalware and pottery have been released, which can be regarded as rushing out before the trade fair."
Meng Sheng nodded. A new trade fair will start in a few days. In order to exchange for more useful things, he specially asked the natives in the tribe to produce a large amount.
"Priest, I'm going to the trade fair in a while. When I think that our tribe has so many convenient tools, I feel happy. When the time comes, let those coastal tribes who deceived us have a taste of being squeezed."
"Yes! Our pottery is strong and durable. In order to make it more valuable, the females even carved flowers on it." Referring to the achievements of the tribe, Tang Yu's mood improved a lot, and he talked more.
Meng Sheng said: "Then the deputy chief and Tang Dun will be responsible for the things that will be used in the trade fair."
"no problem!"
The two talked about some trade fair transportation in a calm manner, and then dispersed and left.
These days everyone is working on infrastructure construction, and most of the manpower and material resources in the tribe are spent on it. Except for Kong Jia's family, there are not many prey to hunt, which can barely solve the daily food intake, so Meng Sheng does not recommend that everyone bring prey to the trade fair, but asks everyone to bring woven baskets, bamboo baskets, handicrafts, new styles of clothing, and final pottery and metalware. Meng Sheng can't guarantee that people from other tribes can See the value of these things, but anyway, metal tools are the best sellers because they are sharp and light and easy to carry.
After making up his mind, he didn't announce it directly, and was going to go to the chief to arrange things.
"Are you going to find the chief?" Qiu Juan came back from hunting: "I think he might not want to talk to you now."
"What's the matter? He proposed to build the road by breaking stone slabs. Maybe he thinks the construction period is too long and he doesn't want to do it."
Qiu Juan frowned, in disbelief: "You really don't know?"
"Ok?"
"Brother Zhongyang is probably going to get married!"
Meng Shengwu's eyes widened, he repeated Qiu Juan's words, and asked again: "Him?"
Qiu Juan nodded: "Yes, the males who build roads in the tribe know about it. I met them today when I came back from hunting, and saw the females bring him food. How busy you are, how long have you not seen Zhongyang? Don't know anything."
Meng Sheng rubbed his chin, he didn't expect spring to be over, Zhong Yang just came this spring, no, maybe he didn't just come, but he came long ago behind his back.
"I just saw it a few days ago, and this kid didn't tell me! I'll go find him now!" Meng Sheng took two steps, and then went back to bring his wife with him in case he didn't catch him. He has to bring witnesses!
"Which female in the tribe?"
"It's called Qin." Qiu Juan is fine when he comes back from hunting. Now the couple are busy with their own affairs except seeing each other in the morning and evening. It is rare for them to have time to hang out together.
Meng Sheng frowned: "Who is Qin?"
"Don't you know? I remember that she gave you things when there was a grand meeting in the tribe, just behind the rock." Qiu Juan recalled, and there was still some gambling in his heart at that time: "You laughed so happily, do you remember?" ?”
Speaking of grand events, all Meng Sheng could think of was that unforgettable night of dating, and he had long forgotten about the rest. He shook his head: "I really don't remember."
Qiu Juan snorted, but he didn't believe it.
Soon the two arrived at the place where the males were beating stones. A stone road had been built in the tribe, but Zhong Yang wanted to build it farther away, so he decided to build it all the way to the hunting ground in the past. Just as Meng Sheng wanted, people would leave after the road was repaired, and it was not a useless tossing job.
After a while, a group of rough men and old men were resting. Seeing that he was about to greet him, he quickly made a gesture of silence and asked in a low voice, "Where is the chief?"
The aborigines laughed, and pointed to a position with ambiguous eyes. Meng Sheng followed the past, and he really caught him. A petite and lovely female was sitting next to the tall and strong male. The two did not speak, but each blushed. .
The female was the first to discover him. Meng Sheng looked at those watery eyes and suddenly remembered, isn't this the little girl who asked him to hand over things at the grand meeting. At that time, she didn't leave a name, and lovers were always going around. Zhuanhui returned to his side, he signaled her to stop talking, the female walked away, and he squatted beside Zhongyang himself.
"The food you cook is delicious, but running around like this every day is too troublesome!"
Meng Sheng held back his laughter, pinched his nose and said in a strange way: "I am happy to deliver food to Brother Zhongyang~"
Zhong Yang looked into the distance, he was embarrassed to look at the well-behaved person sitting beside him, but when he heard the voice, he frowned: "Are you sick, what's the sound... Ah! Meng Sheng! You! Why are you here!"
The two people next to him were already laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their waists. Meng Sheng was pushed to the ground by the frightened male, and he got up slowly: "Zhongyang, it's ok! I have a partner and don't tell me. You are not kind!"
Zhong Yang quickly stood up: "No, no, don't talk nonsense!"
Qin also blushed with embarrassment at Meng Sheng's blunt words, and her words were exactly the same as Zhong Yang's: "No, that's not the case."
Meng Sheng poked Zhong Yang with his elbow: "It's not what is it? It's as red as a monkey's butt! Isn't it why you are blushing?"
Zhong Yang hurriedly covered his face, which was wrinkled into a ball, and where Meng Sheng was, he felt that his body was full of mouth and he couldn't tell clearly.
"Hey, it doesn't matter to you, you just want to eat and drink with others?"
"No! I swear no!"
"What's the matter, explain clearly? Do you like him?"
Zhong Yang's face turned red, and he roared, "Yes!"
Everyone was bluffed by the fierce man's roar, Meng Sheng gave a firm fist behind his back, the male staggered towards Qin who had suddenly confessed his love, Zhong Yang hugged the female subconsciously, and said loudly: "Congratulations!" Ah congratulations!"
"Meng Sheng!" Zhong Yang let go of his petite body in his arms at a loss.
After fanning the flames, Meng Sheng pulled Qiu Juan, and the two fled away~
