MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 95
It will be six days before Sang Yu and his party return to Xindi.
Ke stayed in the alliance center with fifty people from the second construction team, and worked with the other two tribes to build the alliance's infrastructure.
Includes main building houses, ball court and fair.
The remaining ten people followed Sang Yu back to Xindi.
Although the houses in Xindi have been built, there are even some vacant houses that are not fully occupied. But other infrastructures are still being improved.
Yan led a team of people who are still in Yanshan and have not returned. These dozen or so people need to cooperate with other teams to improve the construction of houses and equipment at any time, and they cannot all be sent out.
And these guys who stayed in the league building. Because they have to work with other tribes and cannot reveal the fact that the tribe already has iron tools, they can only work with stone knives and axes.
But after all, it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality, and I am used to sharp iron axes. Now returning to the stone tools, the members of the construction team looked at each other with helplessness.
Regarding the matter of iron, Sang Yu also emphasized repeatedly during the meeting that outsiders must never know that such an advanced weapon that can bring dimension reduction blows to other tribes, before they have enough ability to protect it, they must have it In fact, it is the crime of pregnant.
The team members are well aware of the importance of the matter. Although it is difficult to use the stone tools, they dare not say a word.
After Sang Yu returned to the tribe, Yu had already gone to Yanshan.
Looking at the empty courtyard, she couldn't help feeling empty in her heart.
Finally, I decided to go to Yanshan on the weekend to see the progress there in the past two months, and take a look at the little girl by the way.
However, when she arrived at Yanshan, houses, cowsheds and pastures had been established. But the team members said that Captain Yu went to Xindi two days ago and hasn't come back yet.
Sang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition swept over her.
It has been three days since Yu left Xindi, but he still hasn't returned.
It took less than half a day to ride a horse for this journey, where did she go?
Although she is aloof, she has a sense of responsibility.
She will never do anything without saying goodbye.
Here in Yanshan, her subordinates are still waiting for her order to do things.
As for her and her, they were just like that just now, Sang Yu couldn't think of any reason for her to disappear.
There is only one reason, and that is something happened to Yu.
Realizing this, Sang Yu trembled uncontrollably.
The guard hurried forward to help her.
Sang Yu sat down and took a while to stabilize her emotions.
Immediately summoned all the personnel of Yanshan, including more than 60 buildings led by Yan.
"The feather is gone."
Everyone was talking, with worries on their faces.
Yu is now Sang Yu's right-hand man, the captain of the pioneer team, and the captain of the archers of the tribal army. Her status is not low, and she is one of the most powerful warriors on a par with Zhuang, Yan and others. one.
If something happened to her, it would definitely be a huge loss to the tribe.
"Everyone, don't panic."
Sang Yu was not only trying to stabilize others, but also comforting herself, "Yu has always been courageous and resourceful, and ordinary people can't touch her. I guess there may be some emergency."
"So, now we need to immediately organize people to look for the traces of her passing, as well as the marks she may have left behind."
Yan hurriedly said: "Yu has always been bold and careful, she will not just walk away quietly like this. If she finds something to actively follow and go far away, she should leave a mark."
Sang Yu nodded, "Yan, the pioneers will be arranged by you for the time being. Divide these people into groups of ten, leave a group to guard the camp and these wild donkeys, and the rest will go out to find people, mainly along Xindi and Yantian Search this section in the middle of the mountain. If no clues are found, then slowly spread to the surrounding area.”
"It's the leader..."
"I'll go back to Xindi first. No matter what I find, it must be reported to me before tonight."
"Obey!"
After making arrangements, Sang Yu got on his horse quickly, and hurried back to Xindi with the guards.
As soon as he returned to Xindi, he immediately called Gao and asked him to find someone who had contact with Yu that day.
This matter was not deliberately concealed, and within a short while, the entire tribe knew that Yu had disappeared, and everyone was panicked.
And the few people who met Yu that day were quickly found, namely Xiang, Mei and Daxue.
These people are the people who have the closest relationship with Yu on weekdays.
Sang Yu came to them just to ask if Yu had any plans to go somewhere else.
The three of them also had unstoppable worries on their faces, telling them everything they knew.
But Sang Yu finally got the result that Yu's original plan was to leave Xindi in the afternoon and go straight to Yanshan, and had no plans to go to other places.
In this way, Yu's accident must have occurred during the journey between Yanshan and Xindi.
She may have found something, such as a wild horse, a cow, etc., and then followed it away.
But Daxue said: "When Yu came to look for me, he said that Qingqing also went to look for her in the afternoon."
Sang Yu frowned, with doubts, "Qing went to find her? What else can these two do - go and call Qing."
Soon, Qing came to the office, looking a little overwhelmed.
Sang Yu was anxious at this moment, and asked straight to the point: "You went to find Yu three days ago, did she mention where she was going?"
Qing shook his head and said, "I didn't mention it..."
Sang Yu wanted to ask him what the two talked about afterwards. But he felt that this was the privacy between them, and it might not be useful to find Yu, so he stopped asking about the content of the conversation.
So let him go.
Until the evening, when Yanqian came to report, there was still no trace of Yu.
Sang Yu had no choice but to order to expand the scope of the previous search by another 20 miles.
And let the planting team, handicraft team and terracotta team all join the search team.
That night, Sang Yu could barely sleep. Yu's disappearance made her feel for the first time that her arms were almost chopped off.
It was hard to get in touch with her, and before they could say a few words of their own, the two separated. Now that she disappeared directly, her heart was empty and anxious.
To be honest, she always wanted to do construction before, to make the tribe bigger, so that everyone would be happy, and she would also gain a sense of accomplishment.
But now, she doesn't want to engage in construction at all, and feels that it is meaningless. Without Yu, she even wants to find a secluded cave to hide, and just lie down and don't want to see anyone.
Clan building or something, whoever wants to do it can do it.
Whoever wants to be the leader of this tribe can be whoever wants to be.
It doesn't mean anything.
She still didn't dare to imagine what happened to Yu, and she didn't dare to think badly.
Only in this way can we firmly believe in finding her and keep searching.
Everyone saw her reaction, and it was only at this time that everyone really felt that Yu held such a heavy weight in the leader's heart.
People wanted to comfort her, but they didn't know where to start, so they could only keep expanding the search area, hoping to find some clues.
Until the third morning, Daxue led people to find Yu's **** horse in the direction of the tribe heading north to Bahe Market.
But when they found the **** horse, its front left hoof and hamstring had been broken, and it was dying, and it seemed that it would not live long.
The horse was later carried back by dozens of people who made a huge stretcher and took turns.
Seeing Yu's horse, Sang Yu burst into tears instantly.
The horse was there but the man wasn't there, and the horse's hamstring was broken, which meant that Yu's current situation was more than auspicious.
"Are there any signs around the place where the horse was found?"
"There is no mark, the **** horse is only injured in the leg, but there is so much water and grass around it, it looks like it is going to die, it's strange."
Only then did Sang Yu cheer up and look carefully at the **** horse in front of him, only to see that it looked like it was about to die.
Of course she knew why.
Unlike humans, horses sleep standing up.
Once a horse loses one of its hooves, it is difficult to maintain normal balance and cannot adapt to three-legged support.
Now its hooves have been severely damaged, and it is very painful to stand, just like we stand on steel nails to keep standing. ①
And this horse should have not slept for several days because of a leg injury.
This is why modern people usually euthanize horses after they are injured.
"Is there anything else at the scene?"
Daxue shook his head.
At this time, Sang Yu gradually calmed down, and said to Daxue: "If you can't find any other clues tonight, then withdraw everyone."
Xiang was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "The leader—"
Sang Yu: "If other people attack her, there is no reason to let the **** horse go. There was no sign of a fight when she left the horse. Yu should be safe at that time."
In such a primitive era, each head of livestock represented a full meal, and the **** horse was fat and strong, if it was really done by other people. Now that Yu can be subdued, the **** horse must also become their lunch.
The horse is still in place, so there is only one reason, that is, Yu has discovered a more important clue, and she needs to track down that clue. But the **** horse has injured her leg and can no longer ride, so she can only leave it where it is.
Sang Yu's analysis was not unreasonable, but even so, if Yu didn't come back, there was nothing to worry about.
I don't know why Yu appeared on the way to Bahe Bazaar. What did she find?
What is it that is so anxious, so anxious that she didn't have time to leave relevant information.
Sang Yu walked around the horse a few times, staring at its injured leg from time to time, wondering what came to mind. Immediately, someone lifted its injured hoof and looked carefully at the cut surface.
After reading it, he looked at the brand-new horseshoes on the other three feet. After a while, he rushed to the snow and said, "Did you see the horseshoe on this foot when you came back?"
Daxue shook his head, the horse looked like this when it was discovered.
"Immediately send someone to find the horse's shoe at the place where the horse was found."
Daxue hurriedly arranged for someone to look for it.
"Go and call the bird."
The sparrow arrived at the office soon.
"Yu returned to the tribe three days ago, did he go to change horseshoes?"
"Yes, she came early in the morning, and the original horseshoe has been worn to the end."
"These horseshoes are all newly replaced, but after riding out for less than three days, they come off and don't know where they fell. This is very wrong-who changed the horseshoes?"
Que hurriedly talked about someone.
The man was called over soon, and when he learned that the leader was inquiring about changing the shoes of the **** horse, he quickly waved his hands and said:
"It was originally changed by me. At that time, the deputy captain came over and said that a foal was about to be born. He said that I had experience in delivering horses several times before, and asked me to go over and take a look. He came to help me change the horse's shoes. "
As soon as Sang Yu heard the name of the vice-captain, his expression immediately became serious.
Daxue on the side also seemed to have heard the clues, and quickly let the man avoid it for a while, opened his mouth and said: "Boss, Yudang came to look for me, and asked me to keep an eye on Qing."
Immediately afterwards, he told Sang Yu exactly what Riyu had told her.
After hearing this, Sang Yu's face became more and more ugly.
"Go and call Qing, be careful not to let him run away."
Her tone was so bad that other people didn't dare to speak even if they had doubts in their hearts.
Qing was quickly brought, and this time he was obviously not as calm as last time.
If you look closely, you can see that his hands are shaking slightly.
Sang Yu saw him coming in, but didn't speak, and left him where he was.
Qing was uneasy, and finally asked cautiously: "Boss, what do you want from me?"
Sang Yu didn't look back and only said one word.
"wait!"
"The leader is... what are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the horseshoe..."
Hearing the word horseshoe, Qing's face immediately turned pale.
Others seemed to realize something. But Sang Yu didn't speak, so everyone was silent, and no one dared to speak.
Only Qing was left standing there, anxious.
The atmosphere in the office is very dignified, but the weather in May is like the temperature of the twelfth lunar month, which makes people's hearts extremely cold.
The place where the **** horse was found was about half a day away from the tribe. Not to mention that after arriving at the place, we have to do a careful survey to find the whereabouts of the horseshoe.
During the waiting period, Sang Yu did not order to disband, and all the team leaders did not dare to leave the office.
The office was filled with the smell of tung oil lamps, and it was extremely hot and stuffy.
Sangyu's rare strong air pressure made everyone dare not breathe out, and no one dared to make a sound when it was meal time or bed time.
The leader didn't eat or sleep, what right do you have to go to sleep.
As for Qing in the middle of the office, after standing for more than three hours, his body kept shaking, sweat oozes from his head and body, and the sackcloth on his body is wet, as if he is under tremendous psychological pressure.
But no one dared to speak for him.
Because of his appearance, he was obviously guilty.
Daxue and Xiang seemed to have guessed something. If it weren't for the fact that no one would dare to provoke Sang Yu's emotions at this time, Daxue would have stepped forward to straighten his collar.
At about 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the team that went out to look for horseshoes finally came back.
Qing saw the group of people showing their heads, and the person walking in front was still holding a horseshoe in his hand. He couldn't hold on anymore, his body went limp, and he collapsed on the ground.
For others, although they don't know what this horseshoe has to do with Yu's disappearance. But from the leader's attitude towards Qing, and Qing's state at this time, they can almost guess that Qing's accident is definitely inseparable from Yu's accident.
With this kind of cognition, everyone wanted to spit at him and spurn him. They never thought that Qing would be so vicious that he dared to attack his own people.
Sang Yu called the man in charge of shoeing the horseshoes every day, and asked him to carefully observe the difference of this horseshoe.
The man picked up the horseshoe and looked at it, and then asked someone to lift the injured horse, carefully cleaned the soil on the cut surface of the horseshoe, and observed carefully, and soon saw the clues.
"There are only two nails in this horseshoe, and they are very shallow."
"Tell me carefully."
"If a nail goes in on the horseshoe, the hole will be a little bit wider than elsewhere. But now it is obvious that there are only two big holes here, and there are only two very shallow holes in the cut surface of the horseshoe. "
"What about the other three horseshoes?"
"The four nail holes of the other three horseshoes are firmly nailed in, and there is no mistake."
"Then why are there only two here?"
"this…"
"Is it because your farm doesn't have enough nails?"
The man quickly wiped the sweat off his head and said, "Return to the leader, there are enough nails in the farm, maybe the vice-captain forgot to forget the remaining two nails."
At this time, Qing's body was shaking like chaff.
"You tell everybody what happens when a horse's foot doesn't have a shoe."
There was once an allusion in Western Europe about a war lost because of horseshoes, and Sang Yu happened to know this allusion.
A nail is missing, a horseshoe is missing, a horseshoe is missing, and a war horse is missing.
For want of a horse, a battle is lost, for a battle lost, a country is lost. ②
The man opened his mouth with difficulty, and said: "One horseshoe is missing, just patch it up in time. But if it happens to fall off during the running, it will easily hurt the hoof, causing people to fall on their backs, and both horses and people-"
At this moment, Qing in the middle of the field collapsed and shouted loudly: "Stop talking—stop talking—"
At this point, there is still nothing to understand.
Sister Daxue couldn't hold back any longer, they rushed forward and pressed Qing to the ground, their fists took turns to serve her.
Xiang, who has always been gentle, couldn't help but go up and talk to him a lot.
Qing was beaten to the point of crying: "I didn't know it would happen, I didn't want her to die, I just wanted to teach her a lesson—"
"No wonder Yu asked me to stare at you before leaving, so she has already seen that you are this kind of person."
"Why are you so sinister and vicious, even killing the lives of your clansmen?"
Not a single one of the others was outraged.
When Zhuang Yi heard that Yu was killed by Qing, he came up with a machete on his back, and wanted to finish him.
Sang Yu hurriedly asked someone to stop him.
Compared with others, she wished to die in green.
"Close it first, and I'll ask him slowly if I have something else to do."
After speaking, he walked up to Qing, his eyes like knives, and said word by word: "You'd better pray that Yu can return safely, otherwise you have to go down to accompany her."
Qing looked at the woman in front of her, so close yet so far away, a few days ago she was holding her hand and dancing together. But after this time, I am afraid that I will never have this opportunity again.
The resentment and love that had been accumulated in my heart for many days suddenly rushed out.
"It's all her fault, why should she occupy you. Otherwise, you wouldn't even look at me, it's all because of her—"
"I just want to teach her a little lesson. She will fall off her horse at most, and break a leg at most, so that you will never look at her again—"
"Why—why—she's only a woman, why argue with me—"
Hearing what he said, Sang Yu was furious, and shouted: "It's unreasonable, shut him up, lock him up in the cave where Liuhuo was closed, and send people to watch him day and night. If he runs away, you don't have to stay in the tribe anymore." !"
Gao hurriedly waved his hand, and two men with big arms and round waists quickly came up, stuffed a black rag into Qing's mouth, and then dragged him out of the office one by one with one arm.
Watching them disappear into the night, Sang Yu frowned, and finally said: "Gao, these few days you take a few people to pay attention to the surrounding area. Zhuang, when you are hunting with the hunting team, you should also pay attention to the situation in your hunting grounds." Nearby, maybe you will find the traces she left behind, and the rest will return to their posts and produce normally."
"Yes, chief."
The others went back one after another, only Xiang stayed behind, and Xiaoxue waited outside the house.
Yu is Xiang's only blood relative, and it is reasonable for Xiang to worry about her.
Sang Yu's worry is actually no less than hers, but she can only comfort her: "At present, there is no sign that Yu has encountered any accidents. With her skills outside, even if she is in danger, she can stay out of it. She was twelve years ago. She dared to run so far when she was only 10 years old, and even rescued me, now she is more capable, so nothing will happen."
This is both reasonable analysis and comfort.
Sangyu's guarantee is always the most effective reassurance.
Xiang's originally high-hanging heart also slowly fell back.
"When she left, I also took some medicine for her to treat the injury and stop the bleeding. If there is an accident, I can deal with it."
Sang Yu nodded. From this point of view, Yu's safety was double guaranteed.
"Go back and rest. We'll wait a few more days. Yu knows that if she doesn't come back, the tribe will definitely be worried. She will give us news as soon as she finds a chance."
Only then did Xiang feel relieved to go back, but just before reaching the door, she turned around again.
"Leader, don't be too sad. Yu knows that you are worried about her, and even if you die, you will try your best to find a way to come back."
Sang Yu was startled.
Xiang looked at her eyes, very gentle.
Could it be that she already knew what she and Yu wanted?
Yu's mouth has always been tight, so he probably won't speak out.
But it doesn't matter, just now Qing yelled like that, and the tribe would have some guesses about their relationship.
She wasn't worried either, there was nothing that worried her more than Yu's safe return.
…
The following days were the same as usual, everyone worked at sunrise and rested at sunset every day.
Sang Yu could only use a lot of work to numb her heart. She was lonely every night, light sleep and insomnia, which made her haggard a lot.
As for the Yanshan side, it was temporarily handed over to Sang Yu's subordinates to jointly manage the east, west, south, and north.
In the first two months, Yu took them to track wild donkeys and a few horse herds, and they also gained some experience.
Now that Yu is away, they can also carry out hunting activities alone.
Sang Yu asked Yan to keep ten more people in Yanshan to assist in the management, mainly to take care of the captured wild donkeys and other animals that were captured one after another.
The rest of the people called back and repaired the road.
Ke led people to build the infrastructure in the alliance center in Daylily Valley, and the framework was probably completed.
When the work over there is finished, come back and build the road with Yan.
About a month later, at the end of June, a savage in ragged clothes came to the checkpoint of the Phoenix Tribe, dragged his family, and asked to see the leader, saying that he had something to give to her.
When Sang Yu received the news, her whole body seemed to be electrified, her hands and feet were trembling, she rushed out of the office without saying a word, and hurried to the checkpoint.
There are four people here, and the man who seems to be the leader is the head of the family.
When the man saw her, he said, "Someone asked me to bring something over and hand it over to you. He said that if I gave it to you, we would be able to join the Phoenix tribe."
Sang Yu nodded without any hesitation, "Give me the things, and immediately arrange for your family of four to join the Phoenix Tribe."
The savage took out a neatly folded off-white cloth and handed it to her.
When Sang Yu saw the familiar cloth, her hands trembled uncontrollably again.
She snatched the thing and quickly opened it.
I saw two words written with blue dye in the middle of the material.
Ann, Yu.
For several days, the tight string in my heart finally let go.
A long-lost smile appeared on his face.
She held the cloth tightly in her hand, rubbing it over and over again.
I don't know how long it took before she finally calmed down. She frowned and said to the family of four next to her:
"From now on, you are members of the Phoenix tribe, go, I will take you to eat."
Hearing that, the savage man was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled his woman with the child in his arms to follow, and walked towards the cafeteria.
