Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1287

[Chapter 934 The nation is not enough to increase]

There are a total of 126 people in the small tribe where Duoduo belongs, including all adults, the elderly and children.

Pack things up and throw away everything that should be thrown away, otherwise each person will not be able to carry a bag the size of a hill. Don’t look at the small number of people, the life is poor, and there are many pieces of daily necessities.

A group of people was ready, and the tribesmen took a last look at the place where they once lived, and followed Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s team to the local ‘central’ tribe without any nostalgia.

Xiao Bei called Xu Yilong and got busy too. There were two nursing children in the tribe they couldn’t control, the adults were carrying them, and the others who looked small, black and thin were their responsibility.

I asked an interpreter to give presents to the children. There were fifteen in total, six girls and nine boys. After asking, I found that the oldest was eight and the youngest was three. As for the nine-year-old, they were considered adults. , need help with many things.

The gift is very simple. It is a candy in a toy, a bamboo toy. The candy is put in, poured out when eating, and played with when not eating. It is a toy that Xiao Bei and the others don’t play with at all, and it is very important to local children. Attractive, the little black hands grabbed them one by one, and from time to time they made a few strange movements from their mouths, and they had a lot of fun.

There are also people who measure the body of everyone in the tribe. When they are resting, someone will make special clothes and shoes, just like Xiaobei and the others. The team carried a lot of cooked cowhide, no matter how hot it was. , Everyone should wear high leather boots, otherwise they will hurt their feet.

The rest of the tribe were carrying various tools given to them by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The new tools were much stronger than the original ones. They were very happy. Zhang Xiaobao’s team had eased the burden of transportation. Will continue to help carry.

Duoduo carried things behind him, and in front of him hung a set of knives, a total of nine pieces, which were inserted in a wooden box and locked with trivial buckles.

from time to time.

Duoduo had to touch the handle of the knives, only then did I feel at ease, I didn’t lose anything, and I didn’t feel the pain in my chest when I was kicked.

“Are these knives valuable?” Duoduo asked Zhang Xiaobao after touching the handles of the knives one by one again.

“It’s okay. When we came out, we brought all knives with good steel edges. It is much stronger than the broken iron piece you used.” Zhang Xiaobao said, the broken iron piece has been solemnly handed over to another member of the tribe. Stronger man.

Duoduo nodded, took a few steps, and asked again: “Why don’t you bring bad things. Your bad things are also very valuable here, and the beautiful bowls and the unbeautiful bowls will not be bad for the things you exchange. There are a lot of them, but I can go through so many times, but in your place, I have to go through it many times.”

“Once you go out,

you must bring good things.” Zhang Xiaobao explained again.

After looking at Duoduo, he always felt that Duoduo had nothing to say and seemed to want to achieve something.

Nodding a lot, this time there is no sound, until noon, you need to stop and rest, choose a relatively flat place for Zhang Xiaobao’s family, and the rest are just random places, of course.

The flattest places are reserved for those who make clothes and shoes.

Today’s lunch is still stewed, a big pot is put on the rack, the fire is set on the bottom, and all the jerky that the tribe has managed to save is thrown in and stewed, so it’s not enough.

He also took part of his own hunting on the road, plus wild vegetables, etc. After it was cooked, he poured the noodles into it himself to make the noodle soup, and each person filled a bowl to eat.

Such an easy meal.

It is plentiful for the people of the tribe, holding the iron bowl carefully in one hand.

I had to reach in with one hand to grab it, but it felt hot, so I gave each of them a spoon, which was also very laborious.

The meals of the nine little guys are better than others, there is a small plate of kimchi, watching the tribe’s children staring at it, wanting to grab it, Xiaobei had to go over and put it in their bowl, she didn’t plan to eat it There is always a limit to how approachable the things that the little black hand has grabbed.

The children of the tribe didn’t see that they didn’t want them to grab and eat, and happily ate a mouthful of pickles, sweet and sour, with a happy look on their faces, very satisfied.

Xiao Bei looked at it, tasted the food in his bowl carefully, swallowed it and said, “It’s really delicious, and I also think it’s happiness.”

“Is there any need to talk about the craftsmanship of our cook? Of course it’s delicious, you think your life is hard.” After Xiaoyuan finished speaking, he lowered his head and ate, but he didn’t see Xiaobei’s staring eyes.

Normal adults are full after eating a large bowl, but people from the Duoduo tribe look at the pot after eating a bowl, and find that there is still a little bit, make do with it, one person has to deal with half a bowl, after eating, gasping for breath, I don’t know Is it sturdy or hot.

The team continued to set off, with clothes and boots still unfinished.

Duoduo touched the handle of the knife on his chest again, and suddenly turned his head and asked Zhang Xiaobao, “Do you know how to grow grain? Do you raise cattle and sheep?”

Zhang Xiaobao looked over and nodded: “It’s alright, I have a Zhuangzi in my house, and they use it exclusively for them. Come to grow grain and raise livestock, and the yield is very high. If you want to raise, I think chickens are good. Catch pheasants, cut off their wings, tie ropes between their feet, and then circle a place for a fence. You can eat eggs and chicken.

If you can pay enough, I can even let someone specially send you good breeders and pigs, and tell you how to care for them.”

“What’s the price?” Duoduo asked urgently.

“Uh~!” Zhang Xiaobao paused, pouted, and shook his head: “Let’s not talk about the price, you have nothing, except for more than 120 people, you can’t come up with anything else, so let me tell you how to raise pheasants and Wild boar, I’ll find a few people to introduce to you.”

“Okay.” Duoduo felt very helpless, he really couldn’t come up with enough things to exchange with the other party, hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and looked like he mustered up his courage. , said to Zhang Xiaobao:

“I have thought about it, I will return to the big tribe, they will take my knife, they will take away the clothes and shoes you made for us, I can’t resist at all, they will kill us all people.

I plan to stay away from them, go to a place they can’t find, live with my people, live in peace. But we can’t grow food or raise things, we used to need every few days Take the hit game and fork fish and exchange it with them.

If you can teach us, I can stop worrying about what is not exchanged, and if you leave us some more of your good tools, I will do everything for you.

”

This time Zhang Xiaobao understands that Duoduo is also ambitious, and wants to resist exploitation and oppression, but he was incapable before, but now he feels that he can find a temporary backer and learn his skills, so that he can be free from the control of the big tribe.

Zhang Xiaobao There was no immediate answer, and he was thinking about how to solve the problems of the Duoduo tribe.

When night fell, and one day the road would reach the area where the big tribes live, Zhang Xiaobao didn’t figure it out, and he seemed very tangled. During

dinner, I personally broke the meat of a deer hunted on the road for my younger brother and sister, and made a roasted deer belly, steamed rice, and brought the children of the tribe to eat together, plus four wounded and sick , He and Wang Juan continued to eat a big pot of rice with the team.

Duoduo was puzzled, pointed to the two large portions of vegetables and rice, and said, “You can eat it.

”

“We can’t eat.”

“Zhang Xiaobao replied seriously.

“You are the leaders.”

“A lot of emphasis.

“Yes, but we are not wounded and children.”

Zhang Xiaobao replied again.

Duoduo shook his head, obviously he didn’t understand why he couldn’t eat well as the leader of a group.

Zhang Xiaobao didn’t expect Duoduo to understand. After eating, he entered the tent with Wang Juan and began to discuss what Duoduo mentioned during the day. things.

“I’m really not good at arranging.

Zhang Xiaobao sighed.

“You have the ability to help them, but you don’t think you can get enough in return, because they are not from the Tang Dynasty. You are even more hesitant to incorporate them into the Tang Dynasty. They, so naturally xenophobic, right?

”

Wang Juan analyzed Zhang Xiaobao’s thoughts and said it.

Zhang Xiaobao admitted: “Indeed, I always regard them as outsiders, and they are too backward, and I don’t know much about the Tang Dynasty. If I want to include them in the Tang Dynasty, I have to spend a lot of thought.

Where to arrange them? Is it a problem, put it at the border? Their lives will improve, and at the same time they are still them, not me from the Tang Dynasty, the population has been broken up, and they are not suitable, it is almost a family, you have to give them to them It’s

immoral to take it apart.”

“How can you arrange the Liu Zhao, the original Tubo, and the people at the border who were deceived as hostages, the Turks, the Silla, and other remote areas?” Wang Juan Ask suggestively.

“Because they’re… well, they’re from fifty-six nations, it could be fifty-seven, it could be fifty-eight, eighty-five, I just haven’t turned the corner for a while. , to help them, is to help themselves, plus the people of their big tribe, deprive the leader of the power, and return to the Tang Dynasty together.”

Zhang Xiaobao thought about it, and the previous problem was no longer a problem.

Wang Juan smiled and said: “The leader may not be killed, but he can’t have cronies by his side. According to the plan, take it with him first, serve as our logistician, and slowly get in touch with him. With the passage of time, their leader’s authority will gradually weaken in the hearts of the rest of the tribe.

If they do petty tricks, they will use it as an excuse to kill them. The management of the army exists, the military, the government, and the business are all the same.”

“I hate it too, go to sleep, I won’t tell him all the plans tomorrow, just tell him to help him, and I will deceive everyone when I arrive at the place. I’ll talk later.”

Zhang Xiaobao yawned, pulled the blanket over himself and Wang Juan, and fell asleep listening to the sounds of the little guys playing and playing when they couldn’t sleep.

Waking up early the next day, the people of the Duoduo tribe changed into new clothes and boots.

After Zhang Xiaobao had breakfast, he dragged Duoduo and muttered, and Duoduo’s face finally showed a look of reassurance and excitement.
