135 Too much
Dozens of miles away in the Zhuluo Mountain Society, the house of the patriarch on the top of the mountain on the cottage is very lively today, there are seven or eight white-haired old people inside, many of whom are a few familiar faces that Li Tianyang has seen, and the Biyong patriarch as the master is sitting on his bearskin chair, discussing something with the group of elders below.
"Patriarch, the young people in the village now are like demons, and they have poured into that stupid port, and most of the people left behind in the village are old people and children." An elder sat at the bottom, his face worried.
"That's right, patriarch, now that we're out hunting, we can't even recruit all the members of the hunting team." One of the only three strong men at the bottom also chimed in.
"Hehe, I don't want to think about it, among the people who have gone down the mountain now, which family does not have enough food to feed their families, it is much more cost-effective than hunting." It is rare that there are still people who defend Li Tianyang and them, and when they look at the person, it turns out to be the old man Dahai, which is not surprising.
"Humph!! It's just this thing, it's okay to eat occasionally, but if you really want to eat it every day, you can make concessions and make people live! Another old man picked up a boiled sweet potato from the table, broke it in half and threw it back on the table, apparently he had no appetite for it: "I eat this thing every day, my stomach and stomach are always uncomfortable, and I love to fart!" ”
Sweet potatoes taste sweet, and for the natives who are used to eating salty tastes, it will take some effort to change their taste for a while. Moreover, eating sweet potatoes often will make people nauseated and acid, resulting in a lot of waste gases, and finally become a continuous gas excretion. Although everyone is a group of people who are not very particular, in a closed room, even in the quilt, an unbearable stench is vented, which will still make everyone unhappy.
No, as soon as the words fell, there were a few "poofs" that were not too loud, but they could also be heard by everyone!! "Ships came from the surrounding area, and a foul smell permeated the patriarch's house. A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know who put it away, and of course, no one will jump out and admit it by themselves.
"At the beginning, I persuaded everyone to join me in resisting and rejecting Li Tianyang's proposal, and not allowing the young people in the village to go down the mountain. But you didn't listen, you were bought by the little gift that someone sent to the door, now it's okay! It's a loss, it's uncomfortable! The old man Biyong, who was sitting at the top, looked at the complaining below, interrupted everyone's complaints, and said a few words.
Li Tianyang and they have always paid great attention to dealing with these elders and patriarchs of the Zhuluo Mountain Society, since the beginning of contact with the indigenous people, Li Tianyang deliberately sent many gifts to buy people's hearts, all kinds of things that are interesting and useful to the people of the tribe, Li Tianyang will give each of these actual leaders a copy at any cost.
This can be seen from the clothing of these indigenous elders, a variety of colorful costumes have replaced the previous animal skin coats, exquisite daggers are inserted into the waist of almost every elder, and even the silver glittering ornaments, there is no shortage of elders wearing them, at first glance, these natives are no different from those landlords and old wealth in the land of the Ming Dynasty.
However, things are not as simple as Li Tianyang imagined, although these elders were corroded by Li Tianyang's sugar-coated cannonballs at the beginning, but as more and more young people in the cottage ran down the mountain, these old people had a little more fear and even disgust for Li Tianyang in their hearts.
It is not easy to survive in the primeval forest, and it is simply not possible to fight alone. Whether it is poisonous snakes and beasts, plagues and diseases, and even other natives who are also human beings will bring disaster to the tribe, so here, although everyone respects the strong, they actually want to find a strong enough leader to lead everyone to struggle and reproduce in this wild land.
From the moment of birth, the patriarchs and elders were born, and for a tribe, that is, their emperor and prime minister, every word they said and every order they gave became a heavenly rule that no one in the tribe dared to refute. And with that comes the inequality that belongs to the ruling class, but which everyone takes for granted.
Whether it is the patriarch or the elders, no matter how old they are, they no longer go out to hunt by themselves, but sit at home and enjoy the results, waiting for the other members of the cottage to return from hunting and pick out the fattest prey. They no longer rejoice with the people, but instead keep an eye on the natives below, and whenever someone contradicts them, they will make small moves in the shadows, so that these people who have disgusted them will not be able to eat and walk around.
All these have achieved the supreme authority of these people, and they have also enjoyed too many benefits in the clan.
Until Li Tianyang arrived, so that even if the natives did not follow the tribe's hunting team to work, they could get enough food to feed their families. This gave hope to these natives who could not survive in the primeval forest because of the loss of their tribe, and they were a little less in awe of these elders and patriarchs who had been parasitic for many years in the clan.
The old people are not fuel-efficient lamps, although they have no culture, and they don't know much about the big truths, but after decades of life, they still feel this layer of change underneath. For the elders, their current status was earned by leading people to fight on the front line when they were young, fighting with enemies and fighting fierce beasts, so they attached great importance to the power in their hands; And the patriarch Biyong, who regarded the entire tribe as his own inheritance, could not tolerate people to go to his own land to spread wilderness.
This is also the reason why he opposed Li Tianyang from the beginning and their contact with the people of the tribe.
The development of things was not as he expected, the natives could not bear the attraction of all kinds of strange things, as well as the yearning for a better life, and left Zhuluo Mountain, where they had lived for many years, and ran to Bengang to work hard, fundamentally digging into the corners of his house.
"What do you say you should do, patriarch?" The elders who had a sense of crisis, when their own interests were damaged, they didn't care about Li Tianyang's usual compliments: "Otherwise, let's take some people to Bengang and take this camp to the end?" ”
"Fooling around !!" "No way!!" Old man Dahai and Lahok immediately jumped out and objected to this person's proposal in unison: "People have treated us well these days, and we have never gone back on what we promised, how can we do something that goes back on our word!" ”
"Humph!!" Patriarch Biyong looked at Dahai and Lahok coldly: "Then we won't make a move, let someone else make a move!" ”
Hearing this, Dahai and Lahok suddenly felt a little unpleasant, it seemed that the patriarch was ready to take care of it, but he was just hiding it from all of them.
This chapter is a bit messy, but unfortunately I don't have time to revise it for the time being, so I'm going to write a second chapter
