Chapter 61 The Witch's Worries
This year's trading conference is destined to be different.
Because the Ba people soon found an open space to start a stall.
Their clothes were originally unique, and the baskets of rattan baskets were also very eye-catching. It is said that this kind of rattan basket witch has been studying for many days but has not succeeded.
When the Ba people placed the goods they brought from the vine basket basket, they were shocked in advance.
A long line of pottery.
Ceramic cups, pottery bowls, pottery trays, pottery pots, pottery pots, large spoons, small spoons, and even some fired pottery figurines dolls, arranged neatly, making people's blood boil and heart explode.
"Tao...Taoga?"
Someone covered his heart and pointed at the pottery that was placed one after another and trembled and exclaimed.
"Well, cup, bowl, pan, pot..."
The people of the Youba people were introduced with pride and slap them. Xu Chen was almost whispering.
Next to the pottery, someone soon spread a large piece of rectangular animal skin sewn together on the ground and began to place stacks of gray-white linens on it.
These linens are neatly stacked and square, which looks even more pleasing to the eye.
"Boga!Boga!"
Someone exclaimed excitedly when blood rushed into his forehead.
This is no longer needed to be introduced by the Ba people, because all the clothes of the Ba people are like this.
But what is incomprehensible is that these linens are square and square, so why they look strange when worn on the body, including holes for arms, holes for legs, and even magical laces on them, which are so complicated that it makes people unable to understand.
The men gathered in front of the pottery and shouted, and even could touch and watch with the permission of the Ba people.
The women all surrounded the cloth stalls and drooled at these light, breathable and soft magical fabrics.
As a group of primitive savages, but they are not unaware of the fact that the animal skin clothes they wear on are not good-looking and uncomfortable compared to the linen clothes worn by the Ba people, and they also exudes a unique fishy smell of wild animals, which is actually not pleasant.
Next to the cloth stall, people soon placed piles of straw sandals and bundles of bark and hemp ropes, as well as mesh bags and several new agricultural tools.
The net bag is woven with thin linen. This thing is very useful and is especially suitable for holding small living things.
Farm tools are wooden hoes and shovels of different sizes, and their main function is excavation.
Although these things are simple and crudely made, they are simply cut from some suitable wood, but they are very inspiring to the primitive savages who come to watch. Especially for women who often dig out plant rhizomes in the wild, with these small farm tools, it is much easier and faster to use a wooden stick and hands to dig soil.
Compared with other tribes, the primitive goods such as animal skins, brocade, bones and teeth, the Ba tribe brought this time all artificial creations that all tribes have only heard of and never seen before.
Pottery and cloth are two of the most exciting and surprising things.
Straw shoes, rope tools, etc., are also exclaiming, and many people can't wait to take out the items they bring to exchange.
Amid the exclamations and excitement of the crowd, more and more people gathered around.
Even those who were worried about being disgusted by the Ba people's bad luck at the beginning could not help but squeeze in to see what was going on in this lively atmosphere. After seeing this, they were completely open and opened their mouths and couldn't walk.
I don’t know if I don’t read it. After reading it, I realize that the news I get is not a rumor, but is more magical than what I hear.
And this is the home court of the Wu tribe.
Therefore, there are the most people in the Wu tribe.
As the news spread, more and more Wu people came down from the mountain. In less than half an hour, they had already surrounded the three layers of the inner and outer layers of the Ba people. Hundreds of people squeezed together and exclaimed and clamored, and the sounds resounded throughout the valley.
On the mountainside, the witch stood in front of the cave where she lived.
With the support of two girls, she looked at the scene on the river beach under the mountain with crutches.
The changes in the Ba tribe shocked her so much that she was extremely shocked.
The pottery and cloth made her unable to understand.
Although she refused Mother Ba's request, she was actually very nervous.
She is old and feels that she may die at any time.
The gods have not arrived for a long time.
She waited in the cave day after day, but her wishes were always disappointed.
If the Ukrainian tribe does not have the guidance of gods, the tribal alliance may soon collapse.
In recent years, as the Wu tribe became stronger, the tribe's strength has been constantly squeezing the living space of other tribes, resulting in the nearby tribes being very dissatisfied with Wu.
In addition, as the tribe population increases, the number of food, animal skins and caves needs is increasing. This area is almost unable to accommodate the Wu tribe, so it must expand a larger survival territory outward.
This will inevitably lead to conflicts between tribes.
There have been many quarrels within the tribe due to uneven distribution.
The Wu tribe is actually facing the danger of being divided.
When Ba left, it was because of the rapid population growth and uneven distribution of food and animal skins, which caused Ba's two-year-old son to freeze to death in the cold winter. Ba was her sister, who blamed her for not being able to take the fair distribution as a witch, which led to the death of her son. So in anger, he took his own tribe out of the valley and traveled dozens of miles away to live in another place, and never came back until his death.
She has always been careful to maintain the alliance between Wu and the other five tribes and give fair care so that all tribes will no longer have such tragedies as Ba.
In order to maintain the alliance's relationship, she tried hard to suppress the expansion requests of the Ukrainian tribe and tried not to disturb the surrounding tribes.
But this kind of suppression has a limit after all.
The tribal leader proposed to expel the Ba people today because the requirements were not met, but also to create excuses to annex the Ba people's territory and expand the living space of the Wu people.
Because there is a stronger tribe rising rapidly downstream of the river, Ukraine's strength cannot resist and can only be forced to develop upstream.
However, the Ba tribe took special care of her because of her constant guilt, which made the Wu tribe unable to take this step.
If he dies, then no one can stop the expansion of the Ukrainian tribe. The territory of the Ba tribe will definitely be annexed and driven into the more wild mountains.
He did not agree to Mu Ba's request to recognize Chen Wu's identity, not entirely because Xu Chen refused to share pottery and cloth, but because once she admitted it, the Ba people would gain more affirmation and recognition from more tribes and could use the witch's identity to control more territory and resources. If Ba grew up fast enough, he would have been able to compete with the Wu people for more than ten years, and the two tribes would definitely have a greater conflict because of their territory.
By then, the tribal alliance led by the Ukrainian tribe will fall into civil strife and be completely divided. This territory rich in plants and beasts may soon be snatched away by the downstream tribes.
For the sake of the peace and stability of the tribe, she thought she had done nothing wrong.
As for expelling the Ba tribe, it is even more impossible. It is to damage one's own strength. She would not do that in terms of emotion or reason.
But what puzzled her the most was that the innovative invention that Mother Ba was willing to share, so why did Chen refuse?
Could it be that he was guided by the gods and wanted to develop independently from the Ukrainian alliance?
Or maybe he saw that the ambitions of the Ukrainian tribe were no longer in line with the internal ambitions and wanted to replace them?
The witch has lived for a long time, and she can no longer remember how old she has lived.
But she knew that she was really dying.
She could not establish a powerful internal enemy for the Wu tribe at this critical moment. As long as she did not recognize the identity of Chen Wu, the influence of the Ba tribe would not grow too fast.
To maintain peace in this territory, there must be a strong leader, and the Ukrainian tribe is the best choice.
But I saw the crowds surrounding the Ba people at the foot of the mountain.
Wu Cang Lao's turbid eyes were filled with worry again.
If she dies, internal conflicts between the Wu tribe will inevitably break out. Even if she does not recognize the status of Chen Wu, all tribes will take the initiative to approach the Ba tribe to obtain exquisite pottery and cloth.
The most powerful thing about the Ba people is not pottery and cloth, but bows and arrows.
This is her biggest concern.
Once the Wu tribe and the Ba tribe conflict, the Wu tribe will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
It's a pity that she can't take care of that much anymore.
"well!"
Wu sighed long and turned around with a crutch. Two girls helped her into the hole. Her thin body trembled and looked even older and lonely.
