"Are there any ruins in the mountains, or are there powerful tribes that have lived long ago?"

Seeing Wu Wu not making a sound, Xia Tuo asked again, the ruins were the solution he could think of now. After all, there were a group of poor people in the entire mountain range. The conditions on the ground obviously did not allow it, so he could only dig underground. If he couldn't get rid of the living, he would kill people.

Under the flames, Wu shook his head gently and smiled bitterly, and Xia Tuo couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment.

There are no living people and no dead people know that this is difficult to deal with. Being a patriarch is not easy.

"I am going to converge the population of the central scattered mountains again."

Suddenly, Xia Tuo's voice changed.

"You are the patriarch."

Wu raised his eyelids and seemed not interested in his words.

"I'm going to learn witchcraft, you go."

Xia Tuo stood up, whispering the old man Wu in his heart. He has been meditating for so many years, but you have learned a flower and have a lot of beards.

It seems that I will find a successor for the witch.

Watching Xia Tuo walk out of the cave, Wu's eyes closed slightly.

Fortunately, he didn't know what Xia Tuo was thinking, otherwise he would have to knock Xia Tuo with his cane.

After returning to his cave, Xia Tuo called all the elders and hunting captains over.

"Hong, the three hunting teams of the Ministry of Martial Arts will start one going out to hunt tomorrow, one patrols the tribes, and the other will be led by you to restrain the scattered tribes displayed on the sand table and incorporate them into my Xia tribe."

"good."

He glared at Hong, who had just eaten his fill and picked his teeth with his fingers, and immediately made him honest and not treat the patriarch as the boss.

"I'll go."

Suddenly Li shouted, and during the day he couldn't help but see Feng having a wife. He went out to restrain his wife and might be able to find a wife.

"kindness."

With Xia Tuo's approval, Li Da's hand touched the back of his head and was silly happy. He must find a stronger wife than that boy Feng, so that he can give birth to a child.

He waved his hand and let everyone disperse, and the cave suddenly became quiet.

The matter of consolidating population cannot be stopped, and the same thing as finding the force measuring column cannot be stopped. Now the tribe has established several elders and has temporarily divided the labor.

It is a bit regrettable that it will take some time to harvest the wastelands reclaimed by the Ministry of Agriculture. During this period, the tribe also needs to go out to collect wild fruits and earthy potatoes in addition to hunting.

Fortunately, there is no hurry to do this. The Ministry of Agriculture has done it to do experiments to see what troubles will happen in artificially growing grain.

In fact, at the beginning, he wanted to ask his tribe members to build a stone house. After all, living in a cave was too wet and cramped.

But the conditions do not allow.

The valley seems to be more than ten acres of land in the size of a mountain. Once a stone house is built, it will appear crowded. Next, more people need to be restrained. Only after collecting a wave of population will be made before making plans.

The tribal resident today seems to be stable, but in fact it also limits the development of the tribe. Fortunately, the limitation of the tribe's weakness has not yet appeared.

When the golden crow flapped its wings from the east on the second day, Hong's hunting team had already rushed out of the tribe and began to gather the population according to the scattered tribe marked on the sand table.

...

At the foot of Niutou Mountain, Lu Tribe.

The monk brought a strong young man outside the Lu tribe. The two of them carried a bamboo basket with animal bones and skins inside.

The two quickly entered the Lu tribe. When they came out again, a stone jar appeared in the bamboo basket on the young man's back. The two walked out of the Lu tribe and disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.

At this moment, another totem warrior carrying a bamboo basket appeared in the forest.

Next to the bark was also followed by a totem warrior, a wild bear fur from the cracked stone realm in the bamboo basket, and entered the Lu tribe in a swagger.

...

Half a night, the Xia tribe became lively again. Hong Heli, who was out, brought more than 100 people back to the tribe's headquarters, which was from a scattered tribe near the river to the south of the tribe.

For several days, Hong took a hunting team out early and returned late, and brought back dozens or hundreds of people every day.

Five days later, the tribe's population reached 713. On the seventh day, after Hong returned with more than 100 people again, Xia Tuo ordered the suspension of the population collection.

The reason why it took seven days was that all the people brought back were identified without the totem divine pillar, which also avoided the conflict between the totems fused together.

The population of the entire Xia tribe suddenly reached 844 people, and they ate from 186 to 844 in one bite and became a big fat man.

More than 800 people relieved the pressure of insufficient youth and strength of the tribe, and also brought new pressure. Nearly 110 elderly people with declining blood accounted for nearly half of the tribe's population.

...

"Class leader, we have exchanged 27 jin of salt from the Lu tribe in different identities these days."

The Great Elder made a sound, frowning a little, and then said, "It probably has attracted the attention of the Lu tribe."

As a tribe that controls the salt of various tribes in dozens or hundreds of mountain ranges around, Xia Tuo dared not face it head-on, so he could only use this method of moving ants to exchange for salt a little bit, even if the Lu tribe had a dark hand and mixed salt into the sand.

This is not the most important thing. What is important is that the salt of the Lu tribe is large and small, very casual.

"Class leader, the valley where Lu tribe is located is very tightly defended, and there are people guarding the mountains around."

Lu continued the words of the Great Elder, saying that he had been wandering around the Lu tribe many days ago, but unfortunately, the Lu tribe defended very closely.

"It is impossible to determine whether the salt is produced in the valley where the Lu tribe is located."

Upon hearing this, Xia Tuo nodded. Lu tribe was the most powerful tribe he knew at the moment. Of course, if you want to know that other tribes don’t have that condition at the moment.

So he could only fight against the Lu tribe.

"By the way, patriarch, I have wandered outside the Lu tribe these days and found a mysterious man entering and leaving the Lu tribe."

Lu Qingyin had a trace of thought in her eyes, and then said, "This person doesn't look like he was going to change salt. He was wearing armor, carrying a crossbow, and had a long sword on his back. The skin of the animal cannot cover up the cold light on the back of the knife."

"Iron tool."

Upon hearing this, Xia Tuo was shocked. For so many days, he had never seen iron tools before. If it were iron tools, it would be a bit scary.

His side is still a stone tool, and he has entered the Iron Age, which is already a qualitative flyby.

After counting breaths, he suppressed his surprise and signaled to the deer to continue.

"These two of them are very fierce. They broke into the Lu tribe directly. When they came out, they were sent by the patriarch of the Lu tribe. There were also people from the Lu tribe who followed several people, each carrying a bamboo basket."

"I carefully followed them over four mountains and didn't dare to chase them."

After pondering for a while, Xia Tuo waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I have discussed with the witch and sacrifice to the totem in three days!"

Sacrifice totem!

Hearing this, everyone in the cave was shocked. At present, nearly thirty people in the cave were present. In addition to the totem warriors who were originally promoted in the tribe, a total of five scattered tribes have been collected these days.

Taking the original Bamboo Tribe as an example, there are two totem warriors, Qi and Hong. These people became totem warriors before the Beast Tide Incident a few years ago. The totem pillar was destroyed under the impact of the Beast Tide, which also means that their totem warrior's future is bleak.

This is also the reason why Xia Tuo dared to gather so many at once.

After these san tribes were included in the Xia tribe, they first had enough food and clothing, and then sacrificed totems to make everyone return completely.

Currently, the elderly account for almost half of all the people in the tribe, with more than 110 people, fifty-three babies under the age of ten, and seventy-eight young men.

There are 213 young and strong men and women over the age of 20 and under forty, and the remaining are middle-aged people around fifty years old, who are also the main body of the entire tribe population.

There is no doubt that these tribe members have almost no potential at all, and this is also impossible. Sanmen has no resources or totems, so it is a blessing to survive.

Fortunately, after the tribe, it not only requires soldiers, farming, building armor, making salt, burning pottery, etc., but some things are not yet time.

"Hong, you lead the hunting team out for hunting. In three days I need enough prey to sacrifice the great totem."

"yes."

A trace of heat flashed in Hong's eyes and he shouted quickly.

On the second day, Hong led all the hunting teams to the depths of the forest, and Xia Tuo also walked out of the valley with his hands behind his back. There were shadows outside the valley. Under the leadership of Lao Shao, the elder of the Ministry of Agriculture, more than a hundred people planted earthy potatoes on the flat wasteland.

In a corner, he also saw a small piece of green bamboo, about dozens of plants, transplanted from the original bamboo tribe.

Looking at the wasteland in front of him, Xia Tuo had an urge to plant food in his bones, and he was not panicked when he had food in his hand.

The place suitable for growing grain is naturally the best plain. Unfortunately, in the mountains, there are few crops that can fill the belly, so we can only let the Ministry of Agriculture try slowly.

He did not know that he could travel to this world, and everything needed to be tried little by little.

I have already had an idea in my mind. When the tribe is integrated and able to defend the tribe, the tribe must relocate and go to a place where it can be used to build a city to farm.

As the totem sacrificial witches who had been hiding in the cave and never came out, they also walked out. The tribal valley seemed a little messy, but this was nothing. Life was getting better, right?

After wandering around the tribe, Wu found Xia Tuo.

"There are too many tribesmen and need a high sacrifice."

"What kind of great sacrifice method?"

"Blood Sacrifice."

The witch looked at the messy valley. Due to the increase in population, dozens of caves were dug out from the valley again, and even so, it still seemed a little crowded and chaotic.

"Use sacrifice as sacrifice, blood as guidance, communicate totem and gather people's hearts."

"Okay, everything is arranged by the witch."

Xia Tuo agreed and said that the severe cases were severe and the totem spirit needed to gather the "wish power" of more tribe members in order to recover again.

Blood sacrifice is blood sacrifice. After all, these people are all deserted people scattered in the mountains and fields. The awe of the totem in their hearts may have been a little dim in the years.

What he needs is a tribe of unity, so that he can develop like an arm, pointing to the point and concentrate his strength to develop.
