MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 84
Sang Yu felt that her behavior at this time was a bit abnormal, as if she was probing, but she didn't know what she was probing.
It's just that when she realized this, she couldn't help being a little irritable.
And Yu's attitude made her feel helpless even more.
Yu didn't know what he said wrong. But she was keenly aware that the woman was a little unhappy, and it was because of her own performance that she was unhappy.
She hesitated, with a hint of flattery, and said: "These things, I...Even if I don't like them, the tribe can't stop making deals with them...It doesn't matter what I say..."
"I didn't talk about you, you just explained something dry, and chop up the meat, the pot is all hot."
Hearing this, Yu pursed his lips tightly, stopped talking, and hurriedly started chopping.
In a few tens of seconds, half a pheasant was cut neatly and stacked on the cutting board.
Sang Yu glanced at her straight and clear fingers, shoveled a little lard as a base oil, and then poured the chicken into it.
But I didn't expect that the fire was too big and the oil was too hot. The pheasant carried water, and when it jumped up, high flames rushed towards the face, crackling and splashing everywhere.
Sang Yu was startled, but the next moment, Yu grabbed her and blocked her, and took over the spatula in her hand.
After the little girl quickly stir-fried a few times, the small iron pan stopped splashing.
Sang Yu's heart that had been blocked was knocked open again, and she asked with a distressed face, "You didn't get splashed, did you?"
Yu shook his head with a natural expression.
How could Sang Yu believe her, so she took her hand over to have a look. Sure enough, there were a few little red dots on the back of the hand.
"Does it hurt?"
How could it not hurt? If it was me, I would probably cry in pain.
"It doesn't hurt, and it's not as severe as a mosquito bite."
"That's not it..." Sang Yu raised her hand, "Come here, I'll wash you with water, it won't hurt so much."
Yu wanted to refuse, but seeing her face, he obediently put down the spatula.
By the time the two of them ate, it was already half an hour later.
The cut cassava and millet vermicelli can be fried in oil and eaten. But Sang Yu thought it was too greasy, so she put it in a bowl after boiling the water for a while.
There is no soy sauce, just drizzled with chicken sauce, just right.
Yu patrols and stands guard every day, which consumes a lot of energy, so he has a good appetite.
Moreover, they are still seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are all counted in the category of children. They can continue to grow up and need to continue to nourish themselves.
Sang Yu has an average appetite, but seeing her eating happily, she feels satisfied.
"I ate the chicken legs."
"You eat, I eat something else."
"If you let you eat, you can eat."
"..." In these respects, Mr. Yu couldn't hold back Sang Yu, and in the end he obediently compromised.
Just as she was pawing at the last few mouthfuls of noodles, there was a knock on the door outside.
In broad daylight, Sang Yu was already up, so she didn't close the yard door.
But the people in the tribe did not dare to rush in.
"come in…"
Just then came the sound of a few footsteps.
Sang Yu looked up and saw a few young faces running out of breath.
"You are late, we just finished eating."
Sang Yu's bowl was clean, only Yu was still eating noodles.
I saw that the few springy noodles in her bowl were soaked in chicken juice, smooth and plump, shiny and very attractive.
There is also the smell of meat in the room that has not dissipated, so that the Qing people who only ate the light soup in the kitchen on weekdays couldn't help sliding their throats up and down and swallowing saliva.
"What's the matter, let's go outside and talk."
Sang Yu also felt that in this era of food scarcity, talking about things at the dinner table would make people irrational, so he suggested another place.
When walking out, he did not forget to explain, "I will wash the dishes later."
Yu Qianqian responded.
Liang, who was following Qing, couldn't help looking in her direction when he was going out, but Yu didn't show him any expression.
"What's the matter?" Sang Yu asked while walking.
"The Canglin Tribe wants to form an alliance with us." Qing hurriedly said.
Sang Yu frowned, the young man was a little anxious.
On weekdays, she made Gao responsible for the trade with the Canglin tribe. But this time I heard that the other party captured a whole herd of bison.
The Phoenix Tribe does have a need in this regard. That's why she told Yu to stay here for a few days.
"Who told you this?"
"It's You, Father You is now the leader of the Canglin Tribe."
"Did he ask you to come to me to talk about it, or did he just say it in private?"
Qing Wenyan also seemed to realize that she was too anxious, and hurriedly explained: "It was said when we met, but since he is the son of the leader, what he means is the meaning of the entire Canglin tribe."
"Gao didn't mention this when he came here in the morning, but if they have this intention, they should formally raise it."
After finishing speaking, he added, "It's good if you can tell me this in advance, at least I can be mentally prepared."
At this time, Qing also heard the care for his emotions and face in Sang Yu's words.
Hastily stepped down the steps and changed his words: "We're here to find Yu, you want to compare your arrow skills with her."
Sang Yu nodded, "After she finishes packing, ask her if she wants to go. But she has to be on duty in the first half of the night, so she can't be too tired."
Qing recalled just now when she looked at Yu with a satisfied expression on her face, and how Sang Yu cared for her so much at this time, her chest felt tight.
Because of Sang Yu's attitude towards Yu, he has long been dissatisfied, and his youthful vigor made him unable to hold it back any longer, and said in a low voice:
"Everyone is doing things for the tribe. Every position is the same. There is nothing that is hard work. The leader should care more about other talents."
Hearing this sentence, Sang Yu was a little surprised and said, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Liang next to him tugged at his sleeve, but Qing ignored it, "There is nothing wrong with what the leader did, but he favored some people too much. Everyone is obviously your people, and you always say that people are the same , but you are only different to one person."
"Is this what you think, or someone else asked you to say it?"
"Is it me who said it or someone else asked me to say it? Is there any difference? I believe other people in the tribe think the same way."
"If it's someone else, I need to verify it. If it's because of my preference that the other person suffers from cold, starvation, or bullying, I can make up for it in time."
"If it was you, I don't think the board and lodging have treated you badly. If you need to adjust emotionally and mentally, I will arrange for you to be guided by an elder. As for such a formulation, it is invalid and I will not accept it." .”
As soon as these words came out, Qing was immediately speechless.
After all, everyone's life is getting better and better, and there is no such thing as suffering from cold, starvation and bullying as Sang Yu said.
It's just that after some people live a good life, they start to be dissatisfied and develop some emotions that shouldn't be there.
"That seems to be what you meant. Do you think I favor Yu too much?"
Qing couldn't pull others to back her back, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod.
"Didn't you see that she was taking care of me? She helped me cut firewood, cook, wash dishes, clean the yard, and act as a guard for me. You know, I didn't care about the incident at the university last time." Hope it happens a second time."
Sang Yu is easy to talk, but when Qing looks at her smiling face, her eyes are a little cold.
"K-but there are so many people in the tribe, others are definitely willing to take care of the leader, and the leader should also give others the opportunity to take care of you."
"I have already arranged heavy work for everyone. How can I ask others to do extra work? My purpose is to make everyone live well. To add other burdens to everyone is against my heart."
Qingyu was speechless, he felt that the conversation between the two seemed to deviate in a direction that he could not understand.
Sure enough, Liang beside him was quick to answer: "Yu is also tired, she still has to patrol and guard."
Sang Yu smiled, "I've been talking for a long time, you are here to intercede for Yu, you think I've squeezed her too much."
Qing was silent, he didn't mean that.
He didn't know what he was doing here now, he thought he had got some important news, so he came to the woman in front of him excitedly, hoping to get more eyes from her, or talk to her more The last two sentences.
But now the conversation between the two cannot be separated from Yu.
Now when it comes to this step, he can only bite the bullet and say: "If Yu thinks it's too hard, I can do it—we can also take care of the leader."
After speaking, his ears turned red.
Sang Yu heard this, looked at him, and then looked thoughtful, and said: "It seems that your work on the farm is still too light. When the holiday is over, I will find a bird and give you more money." Assign some other tasks."
Qing was shocked, it was one thing to serve those livestock, it was real labor.
But taking care of the leader is a sweet blessing.
"It's not the leader. I heard this from others, and they are all willing to take care of the leader."
"Someone else? Which other person, is it you, Ryo?"
Hearing this, Liang hurriedly waved his hands, he was always afraid of Sang Yu, seeing her dodging before it was too late, how could he rush to her.
If it wasn't because Yu was here this time, he wouldn't have come with Qing.
Seeing this, Sang Yu smiled and said: "Qing, your information is inaccurate, Liang doesn't want to, I think it's better not to embarrass everyone. Since you all think that Yu's task is too heavy, I will adjust it later so that she will no longer I'm on the night shift, and I'm a family with a child, so I still need to sleep more at night."
As soon as these words came out, Qing was immediately blocked.
He opened his mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time.
But Sang Yu said again: "My life was saved by Yu, and my kindness to her was also in the condition of not harming other people's interests. I thought you would understand."
This sentence was immediately covered, and Qing suddenly sweated profusely, "Our life is also given by the leader, and I dare not misunderstand the leader's repayment mood."
"That's good, you go back first, Gao will receive the people from the Canglin tribe well. As for the other party's cooperation, he will come to me if he can't make up his mind, so don't worry about it."
At this time, Qing had no reason to stay any longer, so she could only nod at Sang Yu and said, "The leader, let's go first."
Sang Yu nodded and watched them go out.
It's just that when he looked back, he saw Yu standing at the door of the living room with an ugly complexion.
Realizing what Yu might have heard, Sang Yu didn't explain too much.
"Qing and the others are here to ask you to go out to play. If you want to play, go, otherwise, go back to the house and take a good nap."
Yu said "I'll go back to sleep", and after saying that, he picked up the bow and arrow hanging on the wall and carried it on his back, and went straight out.
Sang Yu stood in the middle of the yard and looked at the direction of her back. She was stunned for a while, and finally turned around to tinker with her newly found aloe. I plan to make an aloe vera gel and a moisturizing skin cream.
Until the afternoon, Gao Qian came to look for her.
"People from the Canglin Tribe want to see me?"
"Yes, I want to talk about the alliance."
"What's going on with them now?"
"This time it's about the capture of a herd of buffalo, four hundred of them."
"Are you trying to use bison as a condition?"
To be honest, Sang Yu is also ready to move these herds of cattle on the other side.
But in her mind, the rock tribe is really the only one who has the conditions to join her alliance.
After all, the Phoenix Tribe is not what it used to be, for a tribe whose strength is much smaller than itself. If it wasn't profitable, Sang Yu really had to think about it.
"Okay, let's go."
When Sang Yu arrived, several team leaders were there.
Qing, who had just met not long ago, was also standing behind Jiao.
The Great Elder of the Canglin Tribe also came.
More than two years ago, this little-known small tribe, through trade with the Phoenix tribe, exchanged some bison and goats for a large amount of cassava and salt, rapidly expanded and absorbed the population, and now it has reached a scale of more than 300 people .
If the Phoenix Tribe hadn't gone to Bahe Bazaar to buy slaves a year ago, they might be caught up by the other party now.
The Great Elder, who was submissive before, has become high-spirited now.
Seeing Sang Yu hurried up to say hello.
Sang Yu had only met him once, and seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, she naturally gave him face and responded with a smile.
The others were newcomers to the Phoenix Tribe. When had they ever seen such an elegant and glamorous woman like Sang Yu, their eyes were straightened.
I thought that the women of the Phoenix Tribe were good enough, but I didn't expect their female leader to be so outstanding.
"Elder Tu came to talk to me personally, why?" Sang Yu asked straight to the point.
Elder Tu hurriedly said: "This is a big matter, and it is a big matter related to the two tribal alliances. We still have to talk to Chief Sang personally."
"How does the Canglin tribe want to form an alliance?"
"We know that Yi Canglin's current strength is still a little short of wanting to form an alliance with Phoenix, but the tribe is doing well now, and we hope that Chief Sang will think more about it."
The members of the Canglin tribe were allowed to enter. Although it is not possible to visit the community houses and workshops of the Phoenix Tribe. But just strolling around outside makes my jaw drop.
There are neat rows of courtyard houses, all of which are red tiles and blue bricks, which are hard to knock on, not to mention how strong they are.
As far as the house they are talking about is warm in winter and cool in summer, the Canglin tribe may not be able to catch up with them in a hundred years.
Therefore, their confidence in wanting to form an alliance has also been strengthened. Maybe in the future, these technologies will also be introduced to their tribes.
The other party obviously wanted to use the buffalo to clear the way. Sang Yu started from the interests of the tribe, so naturally he would not refuse others' kindness without reason.
Moreover, in the eastern part of Donghuang, except for the eagle tribe who used to love to make troubles, the other tribes are pretty good. If there is no major conflict, there is no need to go to war.
"Elder Tu is serious. Fenghuang and Canglin belong to the generation from Donghuang to Dongdong. They are neighbors. We are not as well developed as the central part. We should help each other. How can we limit cooperation with strength."
That is to say, but what the Canglin Tribe wants is of course not just as simple as selling cattle for salt.
"I just love to hear what Chief Sang said. We are all neighbors and we should live in harmony. However, neighbors are also distant and distant. We dare not expect to be as close to Phoenix as the Rock Tribe. But if Chief Sang is willing, we will be far away from Phoenix." Near. If the rock is too late, you can find us."
If you can't be second, you can be third. This is what the Canglin tribe wants to strive for.
Sang Yu pondered.
Elder Tu hurriedly said: "Of course, we didn't just talk about it. No, a few days ago, Canglin caught a herd of cows, with more than two hundred heads. If Chief Sang doesn't dislike it, we Canglin are willing to give half of them. .”
From 400 heads to more than 200 heads now.
Sang Yu smiled softly: "Elder Tu gave us these more than a hundred cows for nothing, just to get cooperation with Phoenix in the future?"
Tu laughed: "How dare Cang Lin make demands on Chief Sang. But there is a good way to bring our two tribes closer."
Sang Yu nodded to express her willingness to listen to his ideas.
"Canglin now has a lot of strong men, but Fenghuang is just the opposite of us. There are more delicate women. Why don't we neutralize it? What does Chief Sang think?"
As soon as the tentative words came out, the faces of the men from the Canglin Tribe showed ambiguous expressions.
Sang Yu sat in her seat, but her expression didn't change.
Just when those people thought that this could be done, they saw the woman's red lips slightly parted, but her voice was a little less enthusiastic, "It's not very good."
Those who were familiar with Sang Yu's character had already foreseen that something was not going well.
After all, Tu is an elder, and he has a bit of insight, so he hurriedly said, "Of course, just mention it once, just mention it."
Sang Yu said, "If Fenghuang doesn't want to use this method to get close, would Canglin still be willing to give the hundred-odd cows?"
Elder Tu looked a little unnatural and said: "I am willing, but there is no rope to tie them, and the two tribes will also separate when they walk."
"Then besides the one just now, does Elder Tu have any other ropes to tie?"
"Leader Sang won't give us a taste of the sweetness."
"What sweets do you want?" Sang Yupi asked with a half-smile.
"I'm not going around the corner anymore. You've seen our leader's son, You. He's tall and mighty. He likes a woman from Fenghuang. Our old leader loves this son very much. We think that if Leader Sang is willing, we won't take advantage of it." One hundred cows is our sincerity. Please ask us for a position in the alliance. In the future, the two tribes will be able to do business. If the girl goes to our tribe, we will treat her kindly. We will send her back when she wants to. She's back."
After speaking, he looked at Sang Yu eagerly.
At this time, Sang Yu's eyes had changed from playful to sharp.
"Sorry, Elder Tu, our tribe does not trade people."
As soon as the words came out, there seemed to be no emotion.
But Tu had a bad premonition, and the others didn't believe it. One hundred cows, one woman, which tribe would be stupid to refuse.
The corner on the side also smoothed things over and said: "Leader, why don't you ask which girl the young leader likes, maybe other girls are also willing."
More than a hundred cows, even if they were not used to grind the arable land, just eating meat would be enough for the Phoenix Tribe to feed for several years.
Sang Yu leaned on the back of the chair, without much expression on her face, said: "It's not suitable..."
"What's inappropriate?" Everyone else was dumbfounded.
"The alliance belongs to the alliance, and the proposal of marriage belongs to the proposal of marriage. It is not appropriate to propose marriage when talking about the alliance. At this time, even if it is a thousand cows, it will not be exchanged..." Sang Yu said lightly, "But if our girl likes it, she can do it without cows." marry."
Tu's attention was on the second half of the sentence, and he didn't feel the seriousness of the matter, so he hurriedly said: "Then why don't we ask that girl to come up, and let's ask her, otherwise, let our young leader ask her?"
People in the Canglin tribe believe that although Canglin is not as good as Phoenix, it has developed in the past two years and is much better than other small tribes.
And the young leader of their tribe, who is good-looking, is already so brave at the age of seventeen, and can be so favored by the leader. In the future, after the death of the leader, the first position must be his. Marrying such a It is much better to be the wife of the young leader of the tribe than to marry other ordinary people.
So they were sure that as long as the girl was called, the other party would definitely agree.
Jiao asked, "I don't know which girl Canglin Young Master likes."
When Daxue heard Jiao's question, his complexion turned unkind for an instant.
If this matter had been put in the past, she would have even thought that exchanging more than a hundred cows for a girl would be too worthwhile, anyway, she would not be with anyone.
But these days, their thoughts have been quietly changing. Especially when going to night school, many men are reluctant to participate, but women are very active.
Because in the night school, the leader personally taught the lectures, and sometimes talked a lot about democracy and freedom, and they all listened with great interest.
Now that Tu said such words, they felt that these words were particularly unpleasant when they heard them.
Especially after listening to the words of his own leader, he realized the problem. It turned out that no matter how nice the words were, they were still exchanged.
Now seeing Jiao take the initiative to ask the other party which girl he likes, Daxue put his displeasure directly on his face.
No matter which girl it is, the nature is not the same!
However, before Tu waited for anyone to answer, Qing behind the corner spoke directly.
"You like Yu, and he wants to marry Yu."
The sound was very abrupt in the whole room, and Sang Yu couldn't help frowning again.
Tu heard Qing's voice, and quickly echoed: "Yes, it's the woman named Yu. It seems that everyone knows about this. It is possible for young people to play well and pay attention to each other."
But Daxue quit.
The three sisters of Daxue were driven to the back mountain because of weak diseases, and it was Xiang who rescued them later.
Yu secretly went to see them several times, and the three sisters had long regarded Yu as their relatives and nieces. What's more, she brought them all back later, and that's when she met Sang Yu.
Daxue knows very well that there can be no better tribe than the Phoenix tribe in this world, and marrying into other tribes means suffering. It doesn't matter if you marry the leader or the leader's son.
Living now is more than just eating enough.
She glared at Qing very annoyed: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Qing, a young man, was scolded so mercilessly by Daxue. Immediately blushing, she retreated behind Jiao with some embarrassment.
With an honest face on the corner, the peacemaker said: "Boss, why don't you just ask Wen Yu, if she and You happen to like each other, wouldn't it just happen that everyone got what they wanted?"
One hundred cows, this is definitely a huge temptation for the Phoenix Tribe who are now in need of a lot of animal power instead of manpower.
The number of their old scalpers over the years is still the previous dozen or so.
And they were all sent by the Canglin tribe.
Now it is grinding and plowing, and there are still pregnant cows. The land is getting more and more wasteland, but there are far from enough cows to work.
Daxue choked back directly, and said: "Jiao, what do you mean, you sell the child, if it were your daughter, would you say that?"
Jiao pulled a face and said: "Daxue, what nonsense you say is for the tribe. And I only said to ask her what she meant, not to force her to marry into the Canglin tribe.
Besides, if I have a daughter, if she knows that she can get so many cattle for the tribe, she will be willing to do so before I tell you. "
"You—it's because you don't have a daughter that you say that. Any girl who has a father like you is really a bad luck."
"Daxue, you are too much. If these cows are exchanged, I will not eat them by myself. With so many cows in the tribe, the planting team will not have to work so hard, and everyone will not have to wait for each other to grind rice. long time."
"Anyway, you don't feel pity if it's not your child. I object to this matter, whether it's Yu or other girls."
Erxue and Xiaoxue naturally supported her eldest sister and joined the battle.
Miao quickly followed suit.
Seeing this, Shu and Gao hurried to persuade the fight.
When Sang Yu heard that everyone saw her laughing for no reason, she quickly stopped arguing.
Tu also quickly stopped his mentality of watching the show, and asked cautiously: "So what does Chief Sang think?"
"Me? I made my meaning clear from the beginning, didn't you hear me!"
Tu and the others were instantly dumbfounded.
"We in Phoenix only deal in goods, not people. If Elder Tu wants to make a deal with us, of course we welcome it. But if you change people, sorry, we don't provide this service."
"Hey, Chief Sang—Chief Sang—it's not an exchange, it's not an exchange, let's talk about the alliance."
"Elder Tu, these few days happen to be the winter solstice vacation time for our Phoenix Tribe. Holidays are rare. Let's have a good time for a few days before we talk about business."
"We welcome all friends who come to do business with the Phoenix Tribe. There will be a football game during the holidays. Let's watch the game first to relax. In the evening, we also arranged accommodation outside the checkpoint. Gao is my deputy. He will accompany you well in the past few days Let's go and have a look together."
After Sang Yu finished speaking, he looked at the sky outside and said, "It's already past dinner time, Gao, have you arranged the dinner for the distinguished guests?"
Gao busy said: "It's all been arranged, Elder Tu, let's go to dinner first. Our leader often educates us, if we don't eat actively, we have brain problems. If there is anything, we can talk about it after dinner."
At noon, the Canglin Tribe had already eaten the lunch of the Phoenix Tribe.
Needless to say, they had never seen the meat fried in a large iron pot before, and the stewed soup made them want to stop.
Now that they heard that dinner was coming, the big men behind Tu swallowed their saliva and shouted: "Eat first, eat first, let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to do."
Tujian Sangyu didn't want to talk about the alliance right now, knowing that it would be useless to insist, so he had to let Gao pull him away.
Seeing this, the other team leaders watched them leave before saying goodbye to Sang Yu and going home.
Daxue and the others stayed behind, looking resentful.
Sang Yu patted her on the arm and followed her out.
Daxue turned around and said to the two younger sisters: "The leader understands in his heart, we don't have to worry too much. If there are any **** who dare to attack Xiaoyu, I will kill them."
Erxue was taken aback, and hurriedly said to her eldest sister, "Killing someone is a violation of the tribal law, what are you thinking?"
"Don't worry, the leader loves Xiaoyu more than us."
"Come on, tell Xiang about this, that corner, really, I think he's getting more and more disliked."
