Chapter 24 Chapter 24
Yan Mo saw that Cao Ding understood, and asked Hara to come over.
"Does the tribe have livestock? It just raises horses, cattle and sheep and other wild animals."
Yuan Zhan didn’t understand why he asked this, but he still replied: “There are sheep. Every autumn, a large group is caught, and they are raised until winter to eat them, and then they will be caught in the coming year. Horses and cows are not easy to raise. Drop."
"How can horses and cows be difficult to raise?" Yan Mo knew right after saying this.
He remembered that the cows here are not only huge, their horns are also extremely sharp, and powerful, and the people here are backward in hunting methods, they don’t know how to use traps, they only throw spears, smash them with stones, and finally Rush up and chop with a stone knife, so an adult cow often requires multiple soldiers to kill.
Because horses are fast and alert, so far only heard that Sun-worshipers have special methods to subdue horses for their use. Other nearby tribes have not heard of anyone who can ride on horses, and they often kill them. Take more meat.
The so-called animal husbandry and breeding of the people here is basically based on natural breeding. For example, the salt mountain tribe is similar to the original tribe. It also brought a group of sheep and other herbivores in the autumn and drove them into a large pit. Keep them, kill the old and the weak when they are short of food, until the winter finishes eating them, and then catch them again in the coming year, which repeats every year.
The carving not far away said strangely: "The Salt Mountain tribe can raise horses? You also have horses for blessing? I thought only the Sun-worship tribe is the offspring of horses and people."
Now these people know that Yan Mo is the salt mountain clan who escaped.
"Uh, I heard the sun worshipers who changed the salt mentioned that they probably know how to raise horses." Yan Mo had no choice but to say.
"Ah?!" Dashan and Diao were surprised, "They would tell other people how to raise horses? That is their biggest secret! Then did they tell you how to make those horses obedient?"
Yan Mo... nodded.
Yuan Zhan's expression is subtle, and the boy is not stopped, at least the people in this tent will not harm him. However, when they leave the tribe and go far, no matter what the youngster shows, it is impossible for them to return to the tribe to inform the police.
Yes, Yuan Zhan didn't tell his good brothers that he didn't plan to come back this time, no matter what the result was.
If he comes back, regardless of whether he can find a new salt field, the old priest will definitely see him more uncomfortable, and consequently, the old priest's view of the Xiyang people will get worse and worse. Although it is still not clear that the old sacrificial rituals are repelling the Xiyang people, no one will know in the future.
And if he died outside or never came back, the old priest has no target, and the chief will feel guilty for him. Then the third generation of chief candidates after the chief, the Xiyang tribe will not be rejected Outside, the old priest may have to support the chief's idea in order to calm down 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 people who went to this mission were originally the Xiyang tribe and Feisha tribe. As the original priest of the Heiyuan tribe, Master Qiushi was so confused and narrow-minded, he had no opinion on such a candidate. If it weren't for the chief to force the Heiyuan tribe's ice into the team, if their team never came back in the future, the Xiyang tribe and Feishan tribe would definitely have a fight.
He had thought about the same thing before, but running out without a purpose would only die meaningless. This time his little slave gave him a good excuse. Now whether he is living or dead outside, it will be of great benefit to the Xiyang tribe and the tribe.
great mountain and Diao Kan Yan Mo nodded their heads. They were all excited. They didn't even work. They squeezed up to ask him how to catch and raise horses.
"I'll talk about this later, do things first." Yan Mo said with a stern face.
Dashan and Diao were frightened by the serious face of the little slave. Fortunately, the people of the original tribe didn’t have a deep conception of the class division of individual slaves. Some of them were just like brothers or wives, so they were a little bit like their brothers or wives. The tone he made was not disgusting, but he felt a little uncomfortable. The child used to laugh at them.
When Yuan Zhan came up, he slapped Yan Mo on the head.
Yan Mo endured, barely squeezing a smile at great mountain and Diao Nan.
"Puff!" Diao Le, stretched out his hand to rub the head of the little slave, and said casually: "You must have been a sacrificial disciple before. You know so much, and you have such a... aura."
Yuan Zhan pushed Diao a bit, "Okay, don't tease him, do something quickly."
Dashan looked at Yan Mo thoughtfully, turned around and continued to drill holes in the hides, without speaking. In fact, as early as the day when the teenager rescued Dahe, they suspected that the teenager was the sacrificial disciple of which tribe was in trouble, but they didn't get confirmation from the teenager.
In addition to the original battle, Kuo Ting is the person who is the most sure of Yan Mo's identity as a disciple. She bowed her head and did not worry about the safety of the teenager, because she knew that in fact, her master and Lord Dashan had long guessed, including Cinnamon. With Master Dahe, but even if everyone knows, they won't tell anyone about the boy.
Once people feel safe, their nature will be exposed little by little. Although Yan Mo hasn't left the tribe yet, seeing hope is right in front of him, he is also a little relaxed.
After being slapped in the face by Yuan Zhan, he was angry that the other party did not respect him, but he also curtailed some of the things that did not belong to a child.
However, he was already thirty-nine when he died, and it was indeed embarrassing for him to be played by a successful man who was nearly forty years old and had a successful career.
If it were not for the fusion of the boy's memory with him, he might still expose how many flaws. Even if it is a professional actor with first-rate acting skills, you let a forty-year-old middle-aged person play a teenage child, no matter how strange the makeup is, it will make people feel awkward and unnatural.
It’s nothing to sacrifice to the disciple. If it is noticed that the old monsters from where he did not know are occupying the body of the young man, these superstitious primitives will be afraid that their body will be occupied too, and try to kill him, even if he No matter how capable it is, it's useless.
Yan Mo was alert, thinking about his changes over the past few days, he was immediately shocked.
Fortunately, there are not many people who can't go out and contact him with his legs broken, and he hasn't been in contact for a long time. Otherwise, his natural but extremely unnatural speech tone, affection, attitude, behavior, etc. will definitely arouse others' suspicion.
Just like a mountain man and a city man standing together, 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 human shell, it may not be different at first glance, but over time, anyone will notice that something is wrong, let alone an adult. Cover the child's body!
Yan Mo's cold sweat came down.
I don't want to know, just thought about it and found out how many flaws he had!
At this moment, he even thanked God for breaking his leg twice. If this is not the case, when he walks around the tribe every day in order to obtain more local information as soon as possible, he must have a very "outstanding" effect in the eyes of the Yuanji tribe.
It takes time to get used to a place's way of speaking, walking, and affection. The newcomer will only be as conspicuous as he is!
Imagine a primitive teenager who needs to tidy up his leather skirts when going out. When squatting and sitting down, he will involuntarily close his legs or cover important parts. When walking, he will avoid all kinds of dirt, and he may even stand on tiptoe. When you get up and walk, you will avoid your gaze and look a little embarrassed when you see a naked or topless woman. Seeing children on the ground and digging for food in animal feces will involuntarily show expressions of disgust and disgust. The corpses of the beasts have seen will be curious, seeing...
Even if he can't walk outside, without the above-mentioned suspicious points exposed, but when he is in the tent, he must drink water and cook, eat meat well, clean the house, and refuse to go to the toilet near the tent, and refuse to go anywhere. Urinate and defecate, face and body are secretly scrubbed with water every day. Things that fall on the ground will never be picked up and eaten again. The fur worn and covered must be shaken and dried at the door every day...
All of this, God! Yan Mo hugged his head.
That is to say, Kusatsu didn't live with him, and Yuan Zhan had only returned for a few days, otherwise they would definitely not only suspect that he was just a sacrificial disciple of another race.
"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Zhan thought that his slap was too hard and hurt the little slave.
Yan Mo put down his hands and smiled miserably, "It's nothing, I think I'm so stupid."
"Well, you are very stupid." As soon as you came to guess that you were a sacrificial disciple of another tribe, they were afraid that others would not know it, and they taught this and that. The most stupid thing was to use sacrificial methods to save people. . But because you saved Dahe, we will cover your stupidity.
Yan Mo couldn't hear Yuan Zhan's voice, otherwise he would definitely complain about it. He didn't want to be eye-catching when he came, and he was never a good-hearted person, and it was not all the damn reform guide forcing him!
"Stupid or not, it's like this." Yan Mo said, breaking the jar. At the same time, he is also carefully calculating in his heart that he will try to adapt to local life, but the locals...at least the people living around him must also cooperate with him to make changes.
If there are conditions, he does not want to continue to live such a primitive, dirty and insecure life.
But the change cannot be done at once, it has to be done slowly, as if the spring rain moistened things silently. And if all changes cannot be the first to protect lives, then any changes are meaningless.
and so……
"Wait!" Yan Mo stopped Dashan and Diao, his eyes fell on the animal skins. He originally wanted to shock Yuan Zhan and the others. Using animal skins as a simple armor is not difficult.
First cut the large animal skins into square animal skins of appropriate size, the size of the animal skins should be just enough to cover the chest and back.
Then drill holes around these small pieces of animal skins, and then place them on top of each other, and tie the holes around them with leather ropes, thus forming a thicker animal skin armor.
Leave a few more holes on the top, left, and right sides of the animal skin armor so that people can fasten the two front and rear animal skin armors.
Excess animal skins can also be made into battle skirts, knee pads and wrist guards.
When such a set of warrior leather armor is made, waiting for the original warrior and others to put on their bodies, with their figures that are stronger than ancient Roman soldiers, 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 multi-purpose.
For example, consider the sleeveless fur coat worn by ancient Mongolians.
To make this kind of clothes, if you are not looking for beauty but only for practicality, in the absence of tools, there is a simplest way to make it.
That is, without cutting, two pieces of animal skins of the same size are placed on top of each other, a row of holes are drilled at the top of the two shoulders, and the holes are drilled with leather cords to tighten them, and the middle is not stitched, leaving a place for the head to stick Gap.
This kind of clothes can be worn as long as you put a set on your head, and the rope rooted at the waist will not sway. If the fur is too long, fold it at the waist and tie it tightly.
Why not use a piece of fur to put a hole in the middle directly, but use two large pieces of animal skins to stitch together? Yan Mo also wanted 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 be used as a bedding at night.
The three Yuan Zhan who had been stopped looked at him together.
Yan Mo also looked at them, or could he tell his plan for them to choose?
After listening to Yan Mo's description, the three of them were unable to make a choice after some discussion, and finally decided to choose both. If you don’t have enough fur, you can pick it up.
Yan Mo said again about his thoughts on the package. The original package could not contain much, and it was not easy to handle. There are two types of leather bags that he made Cao Ting make, they are long leather bags that can be carried on the body and waist bags that can be tied around the waist, because the stitching process is not available, these two bags can only hold meat and some small things. , But the advantage is that you can install more and free both hands at the same time.
When Diao and Dashan heard that there was such a convenient leather bag, they immediately clamored to make more so that they could all carry them on their backs.
Yan Mo was silent, dare you to refuse to bring your luggage, not because it is too heavy, but you don't want to hold it with your hands.
In this way, it is impossible for the three to only serve for three. Yuanzhan asked the eagles to hunt and fierce, tell them what to do and how to do it, let them prepare in their own tent, and told them not to let others Know.
There were too many things to do, and not enough manpower. great mountain called his slave sang and also picked up his tent by the way.
Because many people know that they will set off to find salt the next day in the original war. No one is surprised to see how many people gather in the original war tent. Seeing them dismantle the tent only if they want to bring more fur to be outside. winter.
"Why do you need both? How do you wear them one by one? At this time, you are not too heavy?" 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 would be inconvenient to hunt like that." Yuan Zhan naturally said: "Both are required, armored soldiers wear, leather slaves wear, just right."
