Hua Xi thought for a while and decided to ask the elder Ziding about the situation. After searching around the clan area, he couldn't find Ziding. Hua Xi felt nervous. Could something have happened? He walked to the open space of the camp and called out.
A tribesman inquired and found out that Ziding, Shi Zhui and the others had gone to the west of the tribe as if something happened.
Just when Hua Xi was about to follow over to see what was going on, he suddenly heard Shi Chui's thunderous high-pitched voice: "Clan leader, clan leader..."
"Patriarch, big, something bad is going to happen!" The voice of the old man Ding followed.
"What's going on? What's the matter? What's the matter? What's going on?" Hua Xi's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly heard the word "big things are going to happen" and shouted quickly.
When the two of them walked up to Hua Xi, they were already out of breath. After the two of them had regained their breath, Hua Xi asked Zi Ding calmly: "Just now you said that big things are bad, what on earth is going on?"
"Chief, some tribesmen who went out to hunt just now came back and reported that... on the mountains eight or nine kilometers west of our tribe... they found some other... tribesmen attacking him. Fortunately, he ran fast, but he was injured.
He was slightly injured, otherwise he would become their food. According to the injured tribesman, they chased him for three or four kilometers before letting him go." Ziding was still out of breath at this time. It took him a long time to finish speaking a few words.
a paragraph
Hua Xi turned to look at Shi Chui. Shi Chui glared at his copper eyes and continued with a powerful voice: "Yes, because you, the patriarch, were not in the clan at that time, so the elder took me to the west and took a look.
"Shi Chui paused, looked at Zi Ding and saw that Zi Ding had no expression and continued: "We found a few foreigners looking around three kilometers west of the tribe. I got very angry when I saw it. Just..."
Before Shi Zhui finished speaking, Hua Xi stopped him. Hua Xi caught a glimpse of Shi Zhui's increasingly louder voice and movements and knew what he was going to say next, so he stopped quickly.
"Hmm..." Hua Xi turned his head and looked through the guardrail, looking in the direction of the west side that the two of them just mentioned. It seems that he is not a qualified leader yet. In the past few days, he has only focused on
Although they have no idea how to solve the problem of the tribe's belly, they have completely forgotten about the dangers that are always lurking around them. The guardrails of the tribe may be able to resist the beasts with low AI, but if it is attacked by primitive people, how to defend? Simply rely on
How could thirty or so adult men and a group of women, children, and children withstand the ravages of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of tribesmen?
The more Hua Xi thought about it, the more frightened he became. After cursing a few words in his mind, Hua Xi hurriedly asked Shi Zhui to bring the injured clan member to him and inquire about it carefully. After questioning, Hua Xi already had some plans in mind, which was to strengthen his clan's territory.
Because according to what the tribesmen said, there is a tribe of about 200 to 300 people living in the west nearly ten kilometers away from the Shui tribe. Apparently the hunting range of the Shui tribe has crossed the border.
Foreigners who hunt in the area will not be entertained by any group, only stones and sticks.
After understanding the situation, Hua Xi was not a military tactician. He did not understand Lao Shizi's tactics and strategies. He only knew that he should vigorously repair the "city wall" to strengthen the clan area, and prepare more javelins, stones, food and water.
We know whether these primitive people will "siege the city" with these tactics, but just in case, it is always right to be prepared.
Calculate the time. If the spies who followed the other party go back to report, it will take a day at the fastest if the other party comes back. Although it is ten kilometers, you must know that this is not flat land but a road interspersed with rivers, mountains, and grasslands.
In the meantime, he had to be wary of wild beast attacks, so it was a bit difficult to survive for one day. However, the opponent had a large number of people. Hua Xi did not dare to take it lightly. He immediately summoned the entire clan's manpower to cut down a large number of wood, collect wood, and stone. Finally, he announced a major order: move the clan's territory to
Hua Xi was a little surprised by the reaction of the whole clan when he gave an order in a valley next to the big lake under the waterfall that could overlook the situation one kilometer ahead. Because there was no objection from the clansmen that Hua Xi was worried about, but they carried it out with absolute obedience.
"It seems that my prestige is quite high, hehe..." Seeing this, Hua Xi felt full
In fact, Hua Xi had already considered this place for several days before announcing it. The new settlement has several major advantages:
1. The valley is located on the mountainside of a small peak. From a high position, you can provide your tribe with a good perspective to monitor what is going on down the mountain.
Second, the space in the valley is extremely spacious. The open air space is about 500 meters in radius, and it does not matter if it can accommodate three or four hundred people.
Third, the undercurrents and streams branched off by several waterfalls flow down the mountain wall behind the valley, so the water source does not need to be extracted back.
Fourth, there are huge stone walls on both sides of the valley. The mouth of the valley is only thirty or forty meters wide. There is a distance of fifty meters from the mouth of the valley to the foot of the mountain. It is not too far or too close. It is a good defensive buffer section.
5. The valley is not far from the gentle river section and the drinking point of wild beasts with a radius of dozens of kilometers. It can be reached in about two kilometers. The road section for returning from hunting is closer, which improves safety.
After assigning the task, Hua Xi led more than 40 people to the area near the river outside the clan area. This area was about one kilometer away from the clan area. The place where Hua Xi killed wild dogs last time was because Hua Xi
Xi remembered that in this forest near the river and the grassland, most of the trees in it were just a few years old, almost all new trees with a diameter of less than 25 centimeters, unlike other forests where the trees were everywhere.
Even my Yangjiang Shibazi couldn't chop down the big trees with a diameter of more than 50 centimeters, let alone the stone axes and knives used by the tribe. It is estimated that the axes and knives broke before the bark could be cut through.
Although the trees he felled were all new trees with a diameter of less than 25 centimeters, the stone axes and knives were too brittle and were declared useless after just twenty or thirty cuts. Except for his simple knife, the other stone axes could hardly cut down a tree.
The two of them kept cutting for more than twenty minutes, which was extremely inefficient. Moreover, as the scrap rate soared, the stone axes were obviously becoming insufficient. However, during this cutting process, Hua Xi understood a method, which was extremely effective.
This greatly improves the durability and felling efficiency of the stone axe. Each person only needs to be responsible for one tree. He only needs to chop at one place on one side. After cutting into one-third of the diameter of the tree, he can then tie it to the top of the tree with a rattan rope.
, the rest of the people grabbed the vine rope on the cutting side and pulled hard. This way, the speed was indeed much faster, and the loss rate of the stone ax was also greatly reduced.
During the cutting process, Hua Xi discovered that there were densely packed bamboo forests about fifty meters away. This discovery almost shocked Hua Xi. Bamboo was not only easy to cut, but could also be made into products.
Tools and weapons, this is a great treasure for the Youshui people who are pressed for time. Hua Xi immediately asked the people to put down the trees in their hands, and all came in to cut down the bamboo vigorously.
