Hai was a guest invited back by the priest. Although the people in the tribe had a good impression of this plain-looking coastal native with no outstanding abilities, but out of respect for the priest, everyone was still very enthusiastic about this guest.
After returning to the tribe, Meng Sheng asked Luo to prepare good food to entertain the guests. Qiu Juan offered to help. Although it was like treating guests personally, the role of priest here, more or less carried the will of the tribe. Fearing that the representative was not enough, Sheng specially called the chief along with him.
Zhong Yang didn't know what he was up to, but the priest was now a symbol of wisdom in the tribe, and he could have dinner with him at night, so he wandered around the tribe with Peihai without any complaints.
Hai grew up by the sea since he was a child, and it was the first time he entered the tribe in the forest. He couldn't hide his surprise when he saw that the lifestyle of the natives in the forest was very different from their tribe's.
"Are you really going to take him to see smelting weapons?" Zhong Yang didn't know what Meng Sheng was doing on the mountain road at first, but when he was about to walk to the smelting place guarded by powerful males, his heart was sweating.
Meng Sheng knew Zhong Yang's worries, but he didn't want people to see his own strength, how could he make people feel attached to him, he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I just took him for a walk around the periphery and gave him two weapons at will. If those techniques were so easy to learn, I wouldn't have to spend hours instructing our tribe for days."
Even if he was unhappy, Zhong Yang would not stop Meng Sheng, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He and Meng Sheng had known each other for a long time. At the beginning, Meng Sheng treated people indifferently. , The two of them didn't have the friendship today, but now it's good. They just met someone in other tribes, and the relationship has improved by leaps and bounds. They even invited them to send weapons to the tribe all the way, and they were entertained with delicious food and drinks.
Meng Sheng noticed that the male had an unhappy expression, and thought he was dissatisfied with showing the treasures in the tribe to others. He was unhappy, but he never thought that the tall male was dissatisfied because of other things.
The Chubo tribe is a small tribe, not to mention whether they dare to have evil intentions towards their tribe, even if they do, as long as they dare to come, relying on the manpower of their tribe and the terrain conditions, they will keep people with bad intentions coming and going.
"Is this how your weapons are made? It's amazing!" Hai, who had no idea what the two people behind him were thinking, shouted excitedly when he saw today's metal weapons.
"Yes." Meng Sheng knelt down and randomly picked up a few weapons that were hanging out: "Here you are."
"Give it to me? Give it all to me!" Hai was so excited that he held his weapon and looked at Meng Sheng excitedly. Seeing that the male didn't seem to be joking, the joy on his face couldn't be suppressed: "Meng Sheng, your tribe is too generous. Yes! If only our tribe was next to you!"
"It doesn't matter whether they are next to each other. If your tribe likes these weapons, you can actually bring the items to our tribe to exchange them directly. You don't have to wait for the fair at all."
Hai's eyes were starry: "Are you sure?"
"However, I am a priest in the tribe, and I still have this right."
It was like a boulder fell into the ocean in my heart, instantly setting off layers of ripples, Haizheng, no, that’s not ripples, it’s just waves, if you bring this good news back, the leader will be very happy, and can be with the powerful It is the dream of many small tribes to establish friendly relations with each other.
Meng Sheng smiled and said nothing. After visiting the tribe, it was getting late. Meng Sheng took people back to have dinner, and they were all fresh meat. Sheng's eight points.
It is rare for Hai to be able to eat a meal of the food of the Linzi tribe. He is happy enough, and he is so happy to taste the taste that he almost forgets that he is just a guest.
Zhong Yang gnawed on half a roast chicken, and said in a sour tone, "Not everyone is treated like this. Only those who have the best relationship with priests in our tribe can eat these delicacies."
Hai didn't understand Zhong Yang's words, but felt that the food was hard-won, and he received great preferential treatment, so he was very grateful to Meng Sheng.
After dinner, Meng Sheng’s cave was really inconvenient for one more person to sleep, so he had to let Hai go to Zhongyang’s cave. Before leaving, Meng Sheng took Zhongyang to confess: “This is not only my guest, but also a guest of the tribe. , don’t be prejudicial, when the time comes, our tribe will have someone to send salt and we will have to rely on him.”
Zhong Yang didn't understand Meng Sheng's words, but he also realized that Meng Sheng might have some thoughts, so he snorted twice: "Don't worry, I can still save face."
Meng Sheng nodded: "That's the best."
The next day, Hai said that it was his first time to spend the night outside, and he wanted to go back early so that his family members would not be worried. At dawn, he hurried back to the tribe, but Meng Sheng didn't stop him. I bought a basket, which was filled with a lot of good things, including tribal food, weapons, pottery, and some animal skins, and gave them to the sea. The group sent the aborigines to the end of the stone road in the tribe before giving up. .
Zhong Yang complained: "This man is obviously from a small tribe. He stared straight at the things of our tribe, and he has the face to say that the cave we live in is not as good as his tribe's residence."
Meng Sheng didn't take Zhong Yang's words to heart, and asked casually, "What did you say?"
"It is said that their tribe lives in a house, built of wood."
These words made Meng Sheng's eyes flash with surprise and joy. The small tribe has already started to build houses. It seems that when he has to go to this Qiubo tribe to inspect it himself, if he can get the people who built the house There is no way to bring them back, and they don't have to succumb to the cave all day long.
Zhong Yang saw that he not only disagreed with what he said, but also showed an expression of interest, and suddenly became short-tempered.
"You can't be biased just because you think others are small tribes. But anyone who can become a tribe must have their strengths. We must learn from others' strengths."
Meng Sheng seemed to be enlightening and instructing, and the natives who were traveling with him felt that it made sense.
At this time, a voice suddenly broke the silence: "I hope it doesn't bring some troubles in. The priest entertains and gives things. If people are good, they feel that the priest is generous and enthusiastic. If they are not, they think that we Yilin tribes are stupid and have a lot of things." .”
"Deputy chief!" Everyone could hear the dissatisfaction in Kong Jia's tone. If it was in the past, Kong Jia might not have said these words in person, but after learning that their chief was also dissatisfied with this matter, he immediately returned It felt like someone was finally on his side.
It's just that everyone doesn't know that Zhong Yang is just some personal emotions.
Meng Sheng laughed, but he couldn't see any joy or anger: "The deputy chief should come earlier to see off the guests. Now that everyone has left, I really don't know what it means to come not too early or too late."
The implication is that Kong Jia is not doing business, but just wants to watch the fun and say a few words when he has nothing to do.
Kong Jia's expression was not good: "I just heard people in the tribe say that the priests are very hospitable and give out good things. I'm worried that everyone will misunderstand that the priests are giving things from the tribe to their friends."
"That makes sense. Thank you, Deputy Chief, for letting me know, but everyone seems to be very busy. Who has the time to think about these things?" Meng Sheng asked the native beside him in confusion, "Are you free?"
The native shook his head quickly: "No, I'm busy digging wild vegetables and planting hemp. The wild vegetables I planted before have grown up, and now I can eat them all!"
"Oh yes, everyone has land."
Zhong Yang was annoyed that Kong Jia was here to cause trouble, but he couldn't speak out against Kong Jia, for fear that everyone would feel that the leaders were at odds and would be worried in private, so he said, "Meng Sheng, go back quickly, the items exchanged from the trade fair are now placed in the I have entered the collective cave, and I am waiting for you to check how to arrange it."
People on both sides broke up unhappy.
The items exchanged in this transaction are quite rich, and Meng Sheng ordered them to increase the value of their items. Except for metal weapons, other tribes cannot imitate them after they get the actual items. Other items such as baskets and clothes are easy to imitate. After a long time, it is estimated that you can figure out the way to do it. These items can only be used once, and they are worth a lot when they come out. When they become common in the future, no one will exchange them.
"Distribute all the salt exchanged to the people in the tribe. As for sweet potatoes and potatoes, they have missed the planting season. Find a dry place to store them and plant them in the spring of next year."
In addition to these, Meng Sheng also discovered that there are peanuts, some melons and fruits that can be planted in summer. He arranged to find a piece of non-private land for planting. This year, he mainly hoarded seeds, which can only be regarded as shared for the time being. , When the number of seeds is enough, they will be distributed to each household, and then they can grow and eat by themselves.
The crops were arranged, and the rest was some seafood, which he asked to share with the salt.
The natives were busy digging and planting, and there was not enough food, so he didn't intend to keep the food for storage.
He is only in charge of making arrangements. As for who will be in charge of supervision later, that is the business of the chiefs. Anyway, he will go to the land and see someone working.
After dealing with the items returned from the transaction, Meng Sheng turned around and went to the hunting ground.
Whether he went there specifically for hunting, Qiu Juan led the aboriginals in the tribe to make a large number of bows and arrows, and now he has started teaching at the hunting ground. He was busy with the trade fair a while ago, so he didn't care much about Qiu Juan. For the things around him, Qiu Juan was in the bottom of his heart.
At this time, there are a lot of aboriginals on the hunting grounds, mostly subfemale and some males. In addition, there are several healthy females in the tribe. These women are quite fierce, and they hunt without ambiguity. It's not bad.
Standing in the middle of the crowd, Qiu Juan was tilting his head to instruct a sub-female to hold a bow and arrow. Her long and thin eyelashes trembled slightly, and her amber eyes were very expressive. She was raised by Meng Sheng for several months. , who already had an excellent body proportion, in summer, she took off her swollen clothes and put on a thin and appropriate dress, which looked very seductive.
Meng Sheng didn't bother him either, and simply sat on a rock in the distance.
Qiu Juan stayed by his side every day. He thought he would get used to his pretty face after looking at it for a long time, but this kid got better and better as he grew older. The feeling is the same as when I saw him for the first time, my throbbing heart is still throbbing, but after a lot of time precipitation, there is more love that is hard to let go.
Very good, he thought.
"How did you come here?"
Meng Sheng squinted his eyes, resting his head on his arms, lazily and drowsily in the sun. Hearing Qingming's voice, he suddenly turned over, forgetting for a moment that he was sleeping on a rock, and his robust body fell into the haystack.
Yafei hurriedly rushed over, and the male fell on him. Meng Sheng didn't get up in a hurry, but instead hugged Yafei's waist like a fool and refused to let go.
"What are you doing! Get up, I have to teach everyone how to practice archery!"
"I can't get up, I'm so tired." He rubbed against Yafei's body: "I just want to hug you."
Qiu Juan didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear of attracting the attention of other natives, so he coaxed patiently: "Don't mess around, I'll teach them a little longer and I'll send you back. You stay here for a while."
"no."
In fact, Meng Sheng didn't really want to pester people, but just wanted to take the opportunity to listen to a few nice words, but unexpectedly, Ya Nu suddenly squatted down, his forehead was wet for a moment, and then Ya Nu let go: "I'll go first."
When he came to his senses, Qiu Juan had already run back, and if it wasn't for the blush on the tips of Ya Nu's ears, he would have thought that the kiss just now was just a figment of his own imagination.
He couldn't help sighing again, it's so good!
