Chapter 157
The wall building project of the Mang Tribe was launched vigorously, and with the efforts of more than a thousand people, the progress was rapid.
A stone wall that is five meters high and one meter wide was built bit by bit.
Too short is useless, too high is too wide and cannot be built for the time being.
Chenbei’s idea was to build this high wall first, and then slowly widen and increase it. The final product should reach the thickness and width of the city wall.
There are many holes the size of a fist on the stone wall, which are specially reserved. The stone spear can be poked out from these holes and caused damage to the attacking enemies.
The tall stone walls protected the entire Mang tribe. At any distance, a post was built with the stone wall, which was much taller than the stone wall.
On the one hand, these outposts can send totem soldiers to take turns to monitor the movements around them.
On the other hand, these outposts that are integrated with stone walls can effectively support thin stone walls, making the stone walls stronger and withstand greater impact.
"Be honest with me, no one can be lazy!"
After the stone wall was started, the elder would take a soft rattan and wander around the stone wall all day long. If he caught a lazy prisoner, he would directly use the rattan to suck it over, and the man's appetite was reduced by half.
If you catch it twice, you will be locked up and hungry for a day and will not be given food.
After being tossed by him several times, the prisoners became honest. After all, being beaten is a little bit difficult. Anyway, the tribe is not a good person, but starving is too uncomfortable, which is simply a nightmare.
The Mang tribe is not large at present, but considering its future development, the scope of the stone wall is very wide, with about one thousand acres of land.
The north is surrounded by fruit trees, not far from the lobster river bank to the south, large wasteland is surrounded on the east, and large ponds are surrounded on the west.
The Mang tribe's existing more than 300 acres of arable land were surrounded by stone walls.
On this day, Chenbei inspected the construction of the stone wall as usual, and gave mountain patterns and red flowers the benefits of building stone walls.
"After the stone wall is established, all the fields inside the stone wall will no longer be destroyed by wild animals. At most, small animals such as birds and mountain rats will eat some crops."
...
Chen Bei asked to Shan Wen next to him: "How long will this stone wall be completed?"
Shanwen said: "It should be completed before autumn."
Chen Bei nodded and said, "It's very good, this won't delay the autumn harvest."
Chen Bei said to Shan Wen again: "During this period, please pay more attention to these prisoners. If there are people who are willing to join our tribe, they can cancel their captive status after the stone wall is built."
"Yes, leader."
Mountain patterns and red flowers solemnly remembered this incident in their hearts.
The most important thing for a tribe is the tribe's tribe. Good tribes can make the tribe develop stronger, while bad tribes will drag the tribe's development back.
Just as Chenbei was inspecting, a totem warrior hurriedly came over to report.
"Chief, someone from outside has come and said he wants to see you."
"Which tribe did you ask?"
"They said it was the Chuanshan Tribe."
Chuanshan Tribe? What are they here to do?
"How many people have they come?"
“Three.”
"Go and take me over and take a look."
Chenbei asked Shanwen and Honghua to continue to supervise the prisoners to work. After all, there were many people, so it would be not enough to rely on the elders to keep an eye on them.
Chen Bei went to meet the people from the Chuanshan Tribe with the totem warrior who reported the news.
The Mang Tribe and the Chuanshan Tribe have actually only traded once. Later, because of the entanglements of the Wolf Tribe and the Black Snake Tribe, they never went to the Chuanshan Tribe to trade.
Later, the insect tribe destroyed the Shu tribe, and many more things happened. The Mang tribe was too busy at all, so there was no time to go to the Chuanshan tribe to do transactions.
Unexpectedly, this time the Chuanshan Tribe came to him, which was something Chen Bei didn't expect.
When Chenbei walked outside the tribe, three people from Chuanshan Tribe were staring at the high wall, and obviously, they had never seen anything like this before.
The characteristics of the people in the Pangolin tribe are quite obvious. They are thinner and have very long fingernails, like the claws of pangolins.
Because they stay underground for a long time, their eyes are relatively small and their vision is not particularly good.
When Chen Bei walked over, the three people from the Chuanshan Tribe immediately withdrew their gaze from the stone wall, and the person in charge subconsciously pulled his animal leather jacket.
"Captain Chen, I finally saw you."
Chen Bei looked at this person and thought that these people looked familiar. He thought about it carefully. Aren’t the two people behind him sent by Bone Armor to dig termites when they were in the Chuanshan Tribe?
But the leader is an intermediate totem warrior, and Chen Bei also has some impressions, but he doesn't know what his name is.
The intermediate totem warrior obviously realized that Chen Bei didn't know him, so he introduced himself: "My name is Digu, and he is the younger brother of Gu Jia, the leader of our Chuanshan tribe."
Chen Beihan nodded with a smile: "Welcome to the Mang Tribe."
Digu said: "Captain Chen, we have been in great difficulty in finding your Mang tribe."
Chenbeidao: "First go to the tribe, drink some water, eat something, and talk slowly."
"Okay, we're already hungry."
Tribes generally don’t say anything polite. When they hear something food, they immediately smile.
Chen Bei welcomed the three of them into the tribe and took them to the house where he lived. He poured them some cold boiled water, then took out all kinds of dried meat and dried fruits, and cooked a pot of mixed grains and rice.
The earth bones were not polite, and took the two of them to eat a meal. After eating and drinking, they breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed their stomachs.
After filling his stomach, the earth bones also told them about the purpose of finding the Mang tribe.
The Chuanshan tribe sent them out only one purpose, that is, salt.
"After the last time we traded with you, the tribesmen of our Chuanshan tribe liked the kind of salted meat. The leader has been looking forward to you coming to trade next time, but after waiting for two years, you haven't come. The salted meat has long been eaten up."
Chen Bei explained: "In the past two years, a lot of things have happened to our tribe, so we have never had time to go to your Chuanshan Tribe."
Digu continued: "Later, our leader had no choice but to continue trading with the Diao Tribe, but their salt was too expensive!"
Digu said angrily: "They bully our small tribe and trade with them because they are big tribes."
"So, the leader sent us out and asked us to find the Mang tribe. I hope you can go to our Chuanshan tribe again and make a deal with us."
Chen Bei asked curiously: "Then how did you find our Mang tribe?"
Digu said: "You have destroyed the wolf tribe, the black snake tribe, and the insect tribe one after another. In the nearby mountains and forests, your Mang tribe is already very famous. We inquired about the tourists all the way and found this place."
Chen Bei suddenly realized that before he knew it, the Mang tribe was no longer the unknown small tribe that had become, and had already gained a certain reputation.
