Prehistoric Woman Age - Chapter 373

    Thanks to the lovely Xi Li, Xiao Gu’er and Jie Xi for their tips.

    Ming and several other men tried their best to persuade her to take a rest. Ming and his disciples were there. But she still stubbornly fought in the first battlefield of medical treatment.

    It was already half a month after the dysentery bacteria were eliminated. However, she was in good spirits, and said that this baby was a good one, unlike the dragon and phoenix babies who were too cumbersome to get up. When she was talking, she patted her chubby belly and stepped over a stone step neatly, startling Ah Tu next to her and breaking out in a cold sweat.

    After the condition was under control, several men thought that An Er, a pregnant woman, should stop. Who knows, good news came from Taozi, saying that iron ore was discovered. When An’er and Ruoya heard it, they rushed to the yard where they exchanged for ores.

    Sure enough, blocks of rust-red ores with metallic luster were quietly arranged in a corner of the yard. Next to the ore are the elders and clansmen of the desert tribe with surprise faces.

    The Desert Tribe is a tribe with barren territories in the northwest. It may be because of the land, the grass grows sparsely, and the eyes are malnourished, and ordinary herbivorous animals do not look down there. The people of the desert tribe can only make a living by catching a rodent that feeds on grass roots and collecting some grass seeds and roots. The entire desert tribe consists of only 200 people, struggling to survive in that vast and barren territory.

    Desert Tribes are far from Atayal. It takes more than a month to walk. Although the distance is far, Atayal’s reputation still penetrated to that corner. The desert tribe learned from the neighboring tribes that the Atayal tribe was trading for colored stones. Then he wrapped a few red stones that could be seen everywhere in the tribe with animal skins, and asked one of the young and strong elders, with five or six warriors, to travel long distances to try their luck.

    When I learned from Peaches that the red ore of their tribe is likely to be the iron ore that Goddess cares about. The young elder immediately burst into tears with excitement and hugged the clansmen.

    “Goddess is here!”

    The young elder of the desert tribe. Hearing this voice, and his clansmen immediately put away the excitement on their faces, held their breaths, and revealed a slight nervousness. Outside put the goddess of the Atayal tribe. It’s spread like a god. He has simply become an omnipotent deity. Several people from the desert tribe were afraid that they would say a word or act wrongly and offend the goddess in the sky.

    “Where is the iron ore? Let me see!” An’er said impatiently as soon as she entered the courtyard.

      Appearance. He said respectfully: “This is the stone brought by my desert tribe, please take a look at the goddess…”

    His voice. Trembling slightly due to nervousness, I pondered over and over in my heart what I said, if there was anything wrong, don’t accidentally make the goddess unhappy, and bring disaster to the desert tribe.

    An’er looked at the piece of ore carefully, and finally came to a satisfactory answer – this is indeed iron ore, and if she read it right, the purity is quite good! She looked up at the young man holding the iron ore, and when she saw him secretly looking at her, she quickly turned her eyes away, her body trembled slightly, and said with a smile, “Such a big piece of ore , how can you always let the guests hold it? This warrior, please put the ore on that table, I will take a closer look…”

    Table? Young elders are unfamiliar with this term. In the poor desert tribes, even the animal skins they wear must be exchanged with nearby tribes. In winter, there are often clansmen, because the tribe can’t get enough animal skins to splicing tents, and dozens of people are crowded together, and there is no space to lie down… They came to Atayal for the first time, how do they know what it is? What about the table?

    A Tu, who was supporting An’er, saw this young man who was not much older than himself holding the ore with a bewildered expression, so he kindly pointed to the table and reminded: “Just put That’s it.”

    The young elder gave A Tu a grateful glance, hurriedly walked to the table, and carefully put down the iron ore. This is the hope for the desert tribe to live on in the future!

    An’er dragged Ruoya around the iron ore, chatting and discussing for a long time, the more she talked, the more excited she became, as if the refining of steel would be tomorrow.

    Several warriors of the desert tribe heard the fog and became more and more nervous. I wonder if these stones can bring hope and turnaround to their tribe.

    Peach patted the young elder on the shoulder and said with a smile: “Hey! Blessed are your desert tribes, these stones are the iron ore we are looking for. There are many such stones in your tribe. Not much, can it be exchanged for a long time?”

    The young elder was overjoyed, he repeatedly said: “Yes, yes! We have a lot of red stones in our territory, and we will provide as much as we want… However, we have to exchange food and animal skins. , how much can your Atayal tribe give?”

    All the Atayal people present laughed when they heard this. Now the most important thing in Taiya is food and animal skins. Atayal’s hunting team only dispatched a team of more than 200 people every day, and the prey they hunted was just meat and vegetables to be eaten with rice. Now the people of Atayal pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, and pay attention to the intake of fruits, and they are no longer the staple food of meat.

    And every day, some tribes in the north come to Atayal to exchange daily necessities such as paper, medicine, pottery and bronze ware, and most of the tribes exchange food. That is to say, even if the Atayal tribe does not go out to hunt, the supply of meat is indispensable.

    The Atayal people, since cotton and kudzu were planted on a large scale last year, have rarely used animal skins to make clothes, at most in winter, they make one or two coats and cloaks to wear . In the Taiya warehouse, the tanned hides were piled up like a mountain, and there was almost no place to put them.

    So, when the elders of the desert offered to trade food and animal skins, and he was afraid that Atayal would not exchange it for him, could he not laugh out loud?

    The young elders and clansmen in the desert misunderstood their laughter, thinking that the Atayal people were laughing at their whimsy. The young elder hurriedly changed his words and said, “If these stones are really useful to you, just give them some food and animal skins. We are not greedy…”

    An’er stopped the laughter of the clansmen and said sincerely: “Young warriors, don’t worry, our Ataya has always been innocent, we will give you a reasonable price for these iron ore. Yes. Dar, you take these guests from afar, rest at the guest house, and prepare lunch for the guests…”

    “No, no! We already ate something in the morning…” The young elder of the desert tribe refused with some restraint. Primitive humans have always had two meals a day, never lunch.

    An’er smiled and said: “Please come from afar to taste our Atayal food. Atayal has a wide variety of food, you can also negotiate, what kind of food to exchange?”

    Which food? Isn’t it just meat and grass seeds? It seems unrealistic to exchange stones for other people’s meat. It would be good to exchange some grass seeds to go back, at least not to return empty-handed! The elder of the desert clan thought for a while, the expression on his face was a little unsightly, but he still nodded slightly and said, “Okay… okay!”

    The eleven-year-old Kong Kong entered the Boy Scouts Reserve last year. In addition to the training time every morning, the Boy Scouts also help in some of the tribe’s industries, and Kong Kong follows Taozi to collect ores.

    Kong Kong took seven or eight warriors of the desert tribe along the bluestone street and slowly walked towards the guest house. The guest house is a place to receive other tribes who come to Atayal to exchange. It is located in the west of Atayal City. It is a large courtyard with dozens of houses.

    The warriors of the desert tribe looked all the way, like a country bumpkin entering the city, exclaiming from time to time. Of course, Kong Kong is also willing to show the best side of his tribe to others. He acted as a small tour guide, blowing the Atayal City into an unprecedented one, and there is only one family in heaven and earth. In fact, what he said was right. Atayal City, which is getting more and more perfect, can’t find a second comparable city in this world.

    A hairy young man from the desert tribe who looked like he was just an adult at most. He was envious after listening to Kong Kong’s introduction. When the patriarch asked him to come to Atayal, he still didn’t want to travel that far, but at this time, he felt that he had opened his eyes and it was definitely a worthwhile trip.

    “Elder, if our tribe could build such a magnificent house, and if we could sleep on the warm kang in winter, that would be great!” The young man said with bright eyes. Infinity yearning.

    The young elder had the same thoughts as his own clansmen, but he knew that such a “luxurious” life was a desert clan who could not even get enough food and clothing, and he dared not even think about it.

    Kong Kong lobbied hard: “Want to live in a brick house? Of course it’s easy! Let your patriarch make a blood alliance with Atayal and swear allegiance to us Atayal, we Atayal have always been to the alliance. Generous. Look at the Tiger Clan who live across the Biqing River from us. They are our alliance tribes. Their city walls and houses were built with the help of our Atayal tribe. There are also the Xia people in the southwest. The poor tribes now live in brick houses and eat rice!”

    “Rice? What is that?” The hairy young man in the desert interjected curiously.

    Kong Kong said: “You will know in a while – the guest house is here! Sister Xiang’er, quickly help the new guests, prepare hot water to wash their faces. The goddess has explained that she will be entertained with a sumptuous lunch. them!”

    Lunch came soon. In addition to various dishes made of bacon, sausage, and salted fish, the staple food was rice, white flour steamed buns, steamed buns, and multi-grain steamed buns. How can a few “hillies” ever see such a variety of food, they eat everything fresh, and think that everything is a hundred times better than the most fragrant roast rabbit… A few guys, gobbled up a whole table of meals. He was upside down, and his stomach was broken.
