Chapter 204: Winter day touching heart
Some of the names of the warriors in Yuan Ji tribe are given by parents, some are given by everyone and those people will be recognized by only some words that cannot be taken casually, such as the name of the previous chiefs, such as the name like Zhan, Lie.
Dong Sheng had no name at all, and he was always yelled at by people. Later he went to a 2nd Rank Warrior. He heard people say that he was born in winter, and he gave himself a name for Dong Sheng.
1]... Dong means winter and Sheng means born or give birth
Dong Sheng didn't know who his parents were. When he was very young, and he was raised by the tribe. He was almost thrown out when the tribe was short of food in the winter. The 3rd Rank Warrior saved him by reducing his own share.
Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan, who has now become an old warrior, said that he only repaid Dong Sheng father's kindness when he saved him from a beast. Dong Sheng did not owe him anything, but Dong Sheng still remembered this kindness.
"Dong Sheng, Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan's woman is coming again." The only opened West City Gate guardian warrior told Dong Sheng, who was carrying something.
Dong Sheng nodded and said he had got the news.
The guard has a good friendship with him, and he held his should. The friend spoke unhappy: "It’s been twice she has come over. From the winter to the present, how many times did the woman come to you? Even if you owe Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan, you have already repaid enough before."
"I will only help them through this winter." Dong Sheng thought about it and explained: "The woman is pregnant again, and the child of Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan may not be able to be born if the woman is not healthly."
The guard didn't talk. He also admired the veteran Old Man Que Yan. From what he also learned about Old Man Que Yan, he knew that Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan wouldn't indulge himself if he didn’t really go on. The woman came to find Dong Sheng, no, if he wanted this unborn child to live, even if it is harder, Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan will not take the initiative to find Dong Sheng.
"Hey, hey, we mu doing well now, and we find more and more of Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan woman coming over!" Another guard's voice was just as cold.
Several people look at each other and smile together.
At the beginning, Yuan Ji's people found them on their heads. They were both deflated and lost their pride. Many people were asked to find a lot of things after they were asked once or twice.
When you think of them once, the latter can't stop, and people are constantly looking for them to ask for food and the most of which are women and children.
Dong Sheng greeted the guards, moved out of the West City Gate, crossing the inner moat and walking to the side of the road.
The woman who waited for a long time was cold and almost frozen, and when he saw him coming out, her face was full of joy and wanted to run over. The snow was too deep, she couldn’t run, and she was close to Dong Sheng her mouth also kept shouting: "Dong Sheng, here, I'm here."
Dong Sheng turned to see her, to see her making such a fracas, he was busy silencing her: "Keep where you are, I'll come,"
The woman belly was a bit bulging, but not obvious under the cover of a slightly thick fur coat in winter, but it can still be seen if one looks carefully.
Dong Sheng speeded up, he stepped on the snow and walked over to the woman, and put down the sack on his shoulder. "There is a pickled lamb leg, half a bag of wood yuan fruit flour, and some dried wild vegetables. You take it back to Missing Teeth. Old Man Que Yan."
The woman's aged face was full of diligent smiles, she grabbed a sack, opened with a finger that was about to freeze, and looked at it a few times. The face showed a little hidden reed and dissatisfaction, "Just this flour? Can you get a little more? Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan is not good at chewing mouth, this food made from flour is easy to eat, and you should get more."
Dong Sheng's face looked frozen, no expression, "There is not much wood yuan fruit is not much, everyone gets less, the flour I get is all here."
The woman whispered: "More will definitely be dedicated to your Priest and Leader."
"Bullshit!" Dong Sheng was very angry. "Do you think that Mo Da Ren is as greedy and selfish as the old man Qiu Shi? If this flour was in Yuan Ji, do you think everyone will get it! If it wasn't for Mo Da Ren, we wouldn't be able eat this stuff either."
"That's what Gan Yu found. Gan Yu is the Chief's woman, didn't want to stay with her man, even the child should be brought back, and cut up as food, and she is really shameless!
“Enough!” Dong Sheng said to himself many times, “You have a child with Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan”, and he yelled in anger: “You will not come later, and I will not come out.”
The woman was anxious when she heard this. "Dong Sheng! Winter is still so long. You Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan can't go hunting. You have enough food. If you don't help him. Our family will have to starve! You... If you didn't have Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan, how can you live to being an adult? You would have already been cooked for the tribe! You must have a conscience!"
Dong Sheng grabbed the sack and pulled it. Then he turned to you leave, dropping a sentence: "That okay, you tell Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan come to me himself."
The woman never thought that Dong Sheng would take the sack of food back again, and shocked for a while, see Dong. Sheng went far, she chased him up and cried: "Dong Sheng! You can't do this! You gave me those things, you can't take it back! Dong Sheng... My stomach, my stomach hurts!"
The woman fell to the snow and rolled and cried.
Dong Sheng turned back and his lips. He used his hands to throw the sacks around the woman, and he returned to the city.
The woman saw the sack was left and she immediately no longer cried, and she crawled up. The inconvenience of the pregnant stomach did not cause any obstacles for her. Just like someone was robbed, she grabbed the sack and dragged it away.
These things happened in the tribe, Zheng, Lie knew about them, but they did not deal with the situation without affecting the overall situation.
More than 300 people were abandoned by Yuan Ji, if they have a bad life, they will have forgotten about it. When the abandoned are doing well, look at the former people, even if they still have hate and resentment, but because of some strange and distorted superior psychology, they have some sympathy and pity for the people of Yuan Ji.
In fact, Yuan Ji Tribe's life is not worse than before, it is even better than before, but this is not the case with Jiu Yuan.
With Jiu Yuan in comparison, the dwarves who have houses that sheltered them from the wind have a much better life than them.
Although they also lived in the houses of the outer city at the expense of prey, those houses were not owned by the dwarves, but they were not stone houses, but Jiu Yuan asked the dwarves to build the stone houses, and the ones who are responsible for digging the pit, was the Xi Rang Clan blood ability warrior who has the ability to control the soil.
These stone houses are half-pit type. People do not live on the ground, but live in pits. The pits are covered with half walls and roofs. To save material, the pits are very long and the pillar is used to prop up the roof.
This pit-type stone house is warm, but it is particularly dark and troublesome. Every day, the snow would be piled in front of the door and on the roof should be swept away, otherwise people will be buried in the snow.
And so many people live together, some people care about hygiene, cold weather they refuse to go out to urinate, especially children, they shit and pee inside making the whole pit house so smelly.
In the pit, it is necessary to ignite and cook. The smoke and the soot layer are also covering the walls. Those who are not diligent are scrubbed. The hands and feet on the face are also dirty.
Yuan Ji warriors want to dig their own pits to make a house, but they don't have earth control warrior. All of Xi Rang Clan people ran to Jiu Yuan, and they could not dig the frozen stone-like land in a short time.
Some people will think that even if they have to work hard to dig and build houses, they will have to leave in the spring of next year. The newly built pit house are enough to live for a few days. It is better to maintain the status quo.
This idea has infected one person after another. In a few days, no one has asked for a separate house. Everyone stayed in the big pit house provided by Jiu Yuan.
Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan's woman went out and dragged a sack back, even if it was covered again, it was seen by many people.
Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan saw the sack and his face immediately became extremely ugly. "You went to Dong Sheng again? Didn’t I tell you to stop looking for him?"
The woman turned her face and whispered: "Don't look for him? What do we eat then? The food you have allocated is not enough for us!”
“I have saved all the food for you...” Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan, looking at the woman’s stomach, swallowed the second half of the sentence.
The woman knelt beside him, she was clutching his arm and saying with a lower voice: “Go and talk to Dong Sheng and let him find a way to get us into Jiu Yuan. As long as you are willing to tell him, and he will help us."
"No! Shut up!" Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan grabbed the woman's mouth. "Don't say it again, be careful if someone hears."
The woman looked around and saw many people staring.... She just dragged the sack back and immediately sat down and didn’t dare to mention Jiu Yuan issue.
The woman wanted to hide the food, she was looking for a place when the elders and several warriors came looking for it.
"Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan, I don't have to tell you anymore about the rules of the tribe, no matter who finds food in winter, they have to bring it out and let the tribe divide." The elder coughed, indicating that Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan take the initiative and handed over.
Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan didn't want to, but so many people looked at him, and he couldn't dare to hide.
The woman moved in a hurry and immediately shouted: "Why! This is the food that I hardly got back. Why should I give it to everyone? If we hand it in, you will take it all!"
“Old Man Que Yan!” The elder only stared at Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan, regardless of how the woman cried.
Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan clenched his teeth and his muscles twitched.
“Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan, the tribe has taken care of you, the food that your woman took back a few times in front of us. We acted like we didn’t see it, but it’s still very long in winter. If everyone is like you, those who can’t get food. What should they do?"
"I don't accept it!" The woman shouted: "You said that Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan can't hunt so the food that you give to us is the least. Why do we have to give the food we get now? Points? Then give us the share of the 3rd Rank Warrior!"
"Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan, don't let your woman make another trouble." The elder's eyes swept over the woman's stomach.
The woman’s body felt chilly and all the protests were blocked.
Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan immediately climbed up and poured the contents of the sack to the warrior who followed the elders.
The elders nodded and said to Missing Teeth Old Man Que Yan that they heard to others nearby: "Chief said that since this year and on, people who are not allowed to eat their own tribes are not allowed to go hungry if they are not hungry. If there is really no food, and there is no way for Chief to stick to it. If anyone can get food, think of it and the food you get will give you a little more. In the future, if you want to have a slave, you will be the first choice."
The elder said that and he suddenly sighed. "I know that everyone thinks that we are not as living as good as Jiu Yuan. Many people even want to leave the tribe to be Jiu Yuan. Both Chief and Priest Da Ren know what you think. What can we do? We the most powerful warrior was tempted by his Priest, to abandon us, to be a tribe for his family, his family, Priest, and to establish a tribe. Most of the warriors of Jiu Yuan and their leaders are the ones from our Yuan Ji.”
Yuan Ji envy of Jiu Yuan's is enormous, this envy has turned into deep jealousy and hatred in the winter halfway through.
That is! Obviously they are all from the same tribes. Why do they live better than us?
If they had not betrayed the tribe, there will be no Jiu Yuan, only Yuan Ji, this city, this land, these rivers will be ours!
The elder sighed again. "Hey, Chief said, if Da Zhan is willing, and he is willing to hand Yuan Ji tribe to Da Zhan, when we will be the same tribe as Jiu Yuan, but... I am afraid that their Priest will not be willing. "
The elders’ words deeply poked into the hearts of Yuan Ji people. This is not the first time they have heard this. For the merger of the two tribes, they all agree in their hearts. They wish they could become a merged tribe tomorrow. They can also live in the inner city, enjoy a stone house for each person, and have enough food to eat. They heard about Jiu Yuan. Now the people in there have made some fires, and are not afraid of being cold at night.
Some people think that since Chief said that he wants to hand over the tribe to Da Zhan, then The Old Priest will pass the priesthood to the Little Priest, and the person who listens to Jiu Yuan they all said that Mo Da Ren is good.
The old eyes of the elder with eye bags swept over the faces of the people, and he felt bad. He was were afraid that they could not fulfill the requirements of that Little Priest. He added another sentence: "In addition, because of the things that happened in front of The Black Forest, even if we can merge I am afraid that Da Zhan and their Priest will not believe us. Our warriors will not be reused for the important things. Maybe they will be excluded and sent out to do the most dangerous tasks."
Yes, the elder did not say anything wrong. If you change to them, he is afraid that it will not be so easy to forgive an abandonment by their own people. The Yuan Ji people who originally thought about the merger had a disappointment and faint resentment on their faces.
Jiu Yuan Inner City, Zheng went to see Yuan Zhan alone.
After listening to Zheng’s report, Yuan Zhan, who was using his subtle operations to exercise his mental strength, stared at his eyes. “It’s strange that the old guy didn’t respond. He’ll release these rumors, probably because of the fear of what will happen to Yuan Ji’s people when Jiu Yuan winter season is coming."
"But now Yuan Ji’s people seem to have changed from jealousy to anger and resentment. The day before yesterday, Yuan Ji’s warriors violated our requirements to catch prey nearby. Their people also had conflicts several times with the dwarves. The conflict is all about robbing prey...”
"What is Zhang doing now? Did he not come forward to stop the behaviour of Yuan Ji warriors?"
Zheng frowned. "I am also surprised that Zhang did not intervene, with his temper, only with us. He will not take the initiative to ask us for the trouble. This time he asked to live in Jiu Yuan for the winter, it is very strange.”
Yuan Zhan looked down at the three rounded earth balls that were suspended in the palm of his hand. He used the mental power to control them and make them rotate in a circle. "I will go to Zhang to talk at night."
At this time, Zhang sat on the skin holding his knees and looked coldly at The Old Priest, who was no longer old.
The Old Priest is wrapped in thick fur and leaned against Zhang.
The two did not live in the pit house, but lived in a separate pit house nearby, separated by a beaver curtain.
"Who are you? You are not Qiu Shi." Zhang is sure.
The Old Priest opened his mouth and revealed an old yellow tooth. "How do you know that I am not Qiu Shi?"
"My Priest, how can I not recognize him?"
"Well, you're smarter than I thought." The Old Priest opened a small animal bag and squeeze a piece of dry meat from the inside the bag and popped it tino the mouth and chewed.
"What do you want?" Zhang regrets that he should immediately gone to Zhan to ask for help because a result of being discovered by The Old Priest, instead of asking someone to ask Zhan for help, and the last person did not die, but he was controlled. Then he thought that before the winter, The Old Priest seduced him, tempted him to get closer to Gan Yu and his child, and promised that he would no longer eat his own tribe, he said that Zhang should shake and let Zheng agree to propose to Zhan about Yuan Ji spending winter in Jiu Yuan. This is also one of the conspiracy of this person.
"I still need you, so you won't die."
Zhang is not happy to hear this answer, and he would not die, but he will be awkward.
The Old Priest also did not conceal his intentions. "You are a smart person, then you should continue to be smart. The closed mouth will be closed. I want Jiu Yuan. You want Yuan Ji's people to eat enough on the good days of winter, we can cooperate.”
“How can we cooperate?”
"You continue to be Chief, I will continue to be Yuan Ji's Priest, I will help Yuan Ji become a more powerful and richer tribe near, or even more than The Three Cities, and you only need to cooperate with me, do not obstruct anything I want to do. Yes?"
"So good a deal? Do you think I will believe?" Zhang sneered.
"If I want to kill you it would be very easy. It is also very easy to kill the entire Yuan Ji. If you don't want to, I can change a Chieftain and even change the tribe."
"If I tell Jiu Yuan about your business..."
The Old Priest smirked, "I am not afraid of Jiu Yuan, I just want their city, and this land. Even if you tell Jiu Yuan, the last person who died will be your Yuan Ji, although Yuan Zhan is powerful, but one 7th Rank God blood warriors cannot kill me!"
Zhang stayed silent
"Chief Zhang, if you keep silent, listen to me, you will become a Chief of the biggest tribe you can't imagine, food, woman, weapon, power, and you will have it all! That Gan Yu will return to you again. Besides, including your child. Think about it, can you really endure the betrayal of your own woman, endure Yuan Zhan become a stronger warrior than you? Do you not want to surpass Yuan Zhan, do not want your woman to have a look of worship at you?”
Zhang’s fists clenched.
"As long as you listen to me, I will give you the right yuan-crystal, let you speed up the upgrade, you will become a more powerful blood warrior in a short time, your ability is very special, if trained correctly, the warriors who are higher than you may not be able to defeat you, those at the same level, you can crush them! But if you don't want to, the first one to die will be the woman named Gan Yu, the second one is your child, I promise, no people can save them."
The Old Priest's old eyes reveal a three-pointed and seven-insidious viciousness, just like the devil who tempted people and led them to hell. "Choose it, it is either a miserable death, or sit in the world."
