"Perilla purpurea can dispel cold, relieve heat, nourish yin and replenish yang, and can also strengthen the body. It has a therapeutic and preventive effect on most diseases. It is also very nutritious. You can fill your stomach with a small amount, but the only disadvantage is

It just grows slowly and has very few fruits. It can be harvested once a year or once every two years." Zhou Yutian said, "No wonder your country has such a large population."

"This is the first time I've heard of this medicinal material." Hu Yu said, "But it has nothing to do with the large population of our country."

"Lithospermum purpurea nourishes yin and yang, and is often used to nourish the kidneys and protect fetuses, so naturally there will be more people born. Moreover, Lithospermum purpurea itself can prevent and cure diseases, so there will not be a large number of people in the country due to diseases. At the same time, because

Highly nutritious and can be maintained by eating a small amount

It is necessary for survival, and naturally few people will starve to death." Zhou Yutian said, "This perilla is very slow to grow, and has many functions. It is said to be worth one tael of silver and one tael of perilla. I didn't expect it to be grown here.

It’s really an eye-opener to have so much and still eat it as food.”

"What should we do? There won't be any harm if we eat this for a long time, right?" Hu Yu couldn't help being surprised when Zhou Yutian said this.

"Sugarwort itself is a good product for strengthening the body, and there is no harm in itself. However, if you eat it as food, it will definitely not be able to meet the food supply. And because more and more people do not have enough to eat, turmoil is inevitable.

." Zhou Yutian said, "Maybe this is the danger."

"If it tastes harmless, you can rest assured, but what you said about aggravating the turmoil is indeed true." Hu Yu said, "Fang's royal family has never been able to last for more than a hundred years. Every time a generation of royal family collapses,

At that time, the population of Fang country will increase sharply.

After the new royal family came to power and the society became a little more stable, the population increased sharply. I'm afraid this has something to do with what you said about Lithospermum suspermum." Hu Yu still couldn't accept Lithospermum suspermum and it.

The medicinal effect is somewhat contradictory to the name.

"Besides Lithospermum spp., what else do you grow as food?" Zhou Yutian asked.

"There are only grains, vegetables and meat." Hu Yu said, "Grain, as we call it here, that is, the perilla you mentioned is the only food crop here. There are many kinds of vegetables, such as cabbage, radish, cucumber, celery, shepherd's purse, etc.

As for meat, chicken, duck, goose, pig, beef and sheep, do you know what the difference is from what you have there?"

"It seems that after you come back from hunting, I have to go to the town as soon as possible." Zhou Yutian said, "I have become more and more confused about the direction in which your country is developing."

"Well, go and see for yourself. Even if I tell you, I still can't explain it." Hu Yu nodded and said.

While the two were having a heated discussion, a sharp whistle sound suddenly came from the direction of the path up the mountain, making everyone immediately alert.

"Do your job and don't move. With me and Wu Tian here, there is nothing to worry about." Before Zhou Wutian understood what this meant, Hu Yu immediately ordered the two people who were firing pottery. Although Hu Yutian

Yu has never made pottery before, but he also knows that this kind of thing cannot be done halfway.

"Yes." The two nodded, while the other two young men carefully stood beside them, watching for the direction from which the whistle came.

"What's wrong?" Although Zhou Yutian didn't know what happened, he was somewhat aware of what happened.

"It's the whistle of an enemy attack. There may be some trouble over there." Hu Yu looked at the direction the whistle came from and said, "Let's go and have a look. Maybe it's those people in the town who are unwilling to give up."

"Together? Don't we need to keep people in the tribe to guard us?" Zhou Kutian asked.

"It's okay. There are only two roads in the tribe, one leading to the town and one leading to the mountains." Hu Yu said, "If we hold on to the one in front, the one behind will be safe."

"There are two main roads, but people come from other places as well." Zhou Wutian had also seen the surrounding terrain before. Although there are only two main roads, you can still get up there by taking some risks.

"Don't worry, there are still men left in the tribe." Hu Yu said, "If something happens, just rush back." After saying that, he stopped discussing with Zhou Kutian and ran towards the direction of the whistle.

"It's so urgent." Zhou Yutian said. He did not follow Hu Yu away but turned around and said to the two people and two other young men who were firing pottery, "The pottery is ready to be fired. Leave it here and don't worry about it.

You take your bows, arrows and weapons and follow me back to the tribe."

"Okay." The four of them put down their work without the slightest hesitation, picked up their bows and arrows, and followed Zhou Kutian away. Now Zhou Kutian's status in the tribe is no longer as unnoticed as it was when he first came, and now not only

It's the first

The leader and deputy leader, and even the members of the hunting team also recognized it, especially the matter of Zhou Wutian curing Hu Yu. I believe it won’t be long before Zhou Wutian’s various measures have achieved results, and the whole people will be

The tribe recognized it.

The mountain range where the tribe is located was carefully selected by the tribal leaders who first moved here. The mountain is constantly undulating, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and rich in resources. It is very suitable for the development of the tribe. The mountain range is nearly 200 miles in radius, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Hundreds of miles. The mountain rises slowly. From the foot of the mountain, the first ten miles

It is a flat place with no obvious ups and downs in the mountains. Then ten miles further back, the mountains gradually become steeper. Until at the end of these ten miles, there is a cliff of nearly ten feet standing, which is unreachable. And behind this cliff, there is

The place where it slowed down for ten miles was followed by the almost flat place for twenty miles. However,

After these twenty miles of flat land, it suddenly became steeper again. After being steep for nearly ten miles, it became gentle again for nearly ten miles. The tribe settled down in these ten miles of gentle land. After these ten miles,

The mountain continued to steepen, and became steeper and steeper. After nearly ten miles,

, the mountain showed no signs of slowing down, but became even steeper. After another ten miles of steepness, it already towered into the clouds, and the last ten miles almost stood vertically upward, as if it were climbing into the sky, and it was unreachable.

On the top of the mountain, there is often ice and snow covering it in winter.

In the area where the tribe is located, the mountain peak is located in the center, and the tribe is located on the east side of the mountain. Facing the rising sun and with its back to the mountain, it can get sufficient light. However, the main reason for choosing to station here is probably

Because there are many rocks here, there are only some low shrubs growing along the cracks between the rocks, and there are no tall trees. This is because it is easier to level out the place where the tribe lives without having to cut down many trees to make room, maximizing the

Saved tribal labor.

Among them, a road runs through the middle of the tribe, leading to outside towns to the north and deep into the mountains and forests to the south. It is the main road for the tribe to enter and exit the two places. Although it is said to be a road, it is actually marked by members of the tribe, making it easier to walk.

It’s just a route. On this route, not only are there signs back and forth, marking where it’s easy to walk and where it’s not easy to walk, but there are also rope ladders woven by the tribesmen on the cliffs for walking up and down.

The place Zhou Yutian was looking for to excavate the soil was located on the northwest side of the tribe, that is, close to the mountain. There were relatively few stones and the soil was relatively easy to make pottery. The location where the whistle sounded was located on the north side of the tribe.

The side is where the tribe leads north to the outside world.

On the route, there is a rope ladder woven by the tribe, and personnel are also arranged to guard in this direction. The whistle is made by the person in charge of the warning. The position where the whistle is sounded is relatively close to the place where the tribe members cut down the bamboo. I'm afraid

Hearing the whistle, he had already rushed over.

Zhou Yutian and others ran towards the tribe's station, just in the opposite direction to Hu Yu. Although the distance was not very far, due to the obstruction of rocks and trees, they also took some detours before gradually approaching the tribe.

When they were close to the tribe, several people heard the noisy voices coming from the tribe, which were mixed with crying sounds from time to time.

"Hurry up -" Hearing these sounds, the young man who ran the fastest suddenly became anxious. As he shouted, his pace accelerated a lot, and the other three followed closely and moved forward desperately.

They ran, ignoring the branches and trees that scratched their clothes and bodies. What the four of them didn't notice because they were anxious was that Zhou Yutian was always only a foot away behind them, walking leisurely through the rocks and trees.

There were no scratches on his body and no damage to his clothes.

Sure enough, as Zhou Yutian expected, someone took advantage of the warning set by the tribe and attacked from the direction of the warning while attacking from the side of the tribe.

The two attacks were inconsistent and slightly different in time. I'm afraid it was to attract the combat power of the tribe to the front. Even if the combat power of the tribe did not rush to the front to support, it would be distracted and lead to a disadvantage in the battle.

Even so, it is obvious that the forces in the town are also very cautious about this strategy. Even if they have a better opportunity, the group of people who sneak attacked the tribe still did not let go of their hands and feet to attack the tribe, but slowly tested it.

To attack the tribe.

It is not unreasonable for the forces in the town to be so cautious, because after the big bows in the tribe are fully drawn, they can easily shoot through the middle-stage Yaoguang practitioners, and these ordinary people or people in the Qi Refining Realm are naturally more capable.

careful.

"Don't rush up directly, outflank them from the left and right, and don't expose your whereabouts." Just as they were about to approach, Zhou Yutian said to the four of them.

"This won't work. If both sides pass by, it won't help at all." said the young man running at the front.

"Since they dare to come, they are naturally prepared. With just a few of us, it is difficult to change the situation of the battle." Zhou Yutian said, "Rather than going up in vain to increase casualties, it is better to launch a surprise attack from the side. Even if the opponent cannot be injured,

It can also deter opponents from making rash moves.”

"This -" Listening to Zhou Wutian's long words, the four of them did not understand what Zhou Wutian meant, but there was not much time left for the four of them to choose. The four of them looked at each other, nodded to each other, and immediately went to war.

We divided it into two groups and followed Zhou Wutian's method.

On the side of the tribe facing down the mountain, there were about ten people from the powerful forces in the town. Under the cover of shields, they slowly and cautiously advanced towards the tribe. After all, no one wanted to be the unlucky one who was shot. And here.

At that time, among the tribe, two middle-aged men were holding large tribal bows.

, shooting arrows at the intruders, while other tribe members retreated towards the back of the mountain in an orderly manner, while organizing some strong old men and women to use light bows to shoot arrows at the invading enemies. Although the power was not very good, it caused almost no damage.

But it obviously slowed down the invading enemy.

"Sir, the attack from the opposite side is too fierce. Our attack speed cannot keep up. Can you please take action?" Seeing that the tribe's garrison was close in front of us, but it was still unable to be attacked, the leader of the team responsible for the attack

Naturally, he was a little anxious, because this attack was organized by him, so most of them were his men. If there were a lot of casualties, he would naturally not want to see it.

Because the hunting team of the tribe has been active in the mountains and forests all year round, they are accustomed to fighting in the mountains and forests. Coupled with the power of the tribe's big bow, it is simply impossible for the men and horses who launch a frontal attack to completely wipe out the tribe, at least in this way.

It is impossible for the men and horses to come now. Therefore, what the frontal attacking men and horses have to do is to hold back the tribe's hunting team as much as possible and create conditions for the team to launch a surprise attack. To completely hold them back will naturally require considerable casualties.

.

Therefore, the attack speed of the team attacking the tribe determines the number of casualties of the frontal attack team. Only by capturing the tribe's garrison and capturing tribe members as quickly as possible can the tribe's hunting team be coerced into giving up resistance.

"Why are you panicking? Even I am afraid of that big tribal bow. Now that I have rushed forward, I am playing right into my opponent's hands." The strong man who was respectfully asked by the leader said with his eyes closed.

"Yes, yes, yes." The leader nodded repeatedly. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to speak because the other party was one of the few cultivators in the force. Although he did not have any position, his status in the force was very high.

High, so the leader had to order the men responsible for the attack to speed up and attack upwards.

"Ah——" Just as the leader ordered to speed up the attack, someone in the attacking team, which was moving slowly but without any casualties, was suddenly killed by a heavy arrow and nailed directly to a tree trunk on one side.

"Pay attention to your surroundings and take cover immediately." The leader shouted an order immediately upon seeing this.

"Whoops--" Before receiving the order from the leader, everyone had already begun to look for a place to hide. After the order from the leader was given, everyone had already hid safely. As for the companion who was nailed to the tree

, naturally no one dared to help. After all, if you were not careful, the arrow would hit you.

"Ahhh——" As everyone started to look for cover and hide, the tribe lost their target, and only the man who was nailed to the tree was exposed to the tribe's sight, and therefore became the target of public criticism.

The people in the tribe greeted him frantically. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen arrows had been nailed to the man's body. Although they were all small arrows, they were indeed powerful, and the man had already died early.
