Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

Chapter 18: The Death of the Black Bird, a Sign of Great Disaster

You followed these people back to their tribe.

In the picture, the Qiang people live in a valley.

There are simple thatched houses scattered in the valley. These houses are built with branches and covered with a thick layer of yellow mud.

There is dry grass in the yellow mud, and the whole thing is very tough.

Looking at the place where the Qiang people lived in the picture, Su Mo couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Fortunately, I traveled through time to the Song Dynasty.

If I were to travel through time to this ancient place, I don’t know how hard life would be.

at this time.

The scene continues.

……

After a preliminary understanding, you discover that the Qiang are essentially no different from wild men. They lack a unified civilization or dynasty, and are scattered across the land like a pack of wolves.

【And you have settled down temporarily. 】

【Here, you spent a wonderful, unforgettable and fulfilling time. 】

Every morning, before daybreak, the Qiang leader would call all the men in the tribe to go out hunting. Because you are so strong, you can kill a wild beast with almost no tools.

The Qiang people saw your bravery and believed you were a messenger sent by the gods, and your status in the tribe rose rapidly.

The Qiang people's hunting methods and tools were very backward. They used traps, chased prey, and killed them with spears or bows and arrows.

[The longbow is made from a type of wood called yew, which grows in these mountains. The bowstring is made from rhinoceros tendon, which is very resilient when pulled.]

However, the Qiang people were not able to cast copper, so the arrowheads were of very poor quality, made from polished stone or bone.

However, such arrows tend to go awry after being shot, making their accuracy very poor. They're very accurate within ten meters, but beyond that, it's completely a matter of luck.

You discovered an open-pit ore of red copper in the mountains. Delighted, you began to suggest to the Qiang leader that they build a furnace and forge copperware.

[Most of the Qiang people's tools were made of fired clay, and the few bronze artifacts they had were also seized from the Shang Dynasty people.]

When the Qiang leader learned that you could forge copper tools, he was very happy. He said that if they obtained copper weapons, they would be much more efficient in hunting.

[Immediately, after you divined, on an auspicious day, three furnaces were built.]

Baskets of red copper ore were brought in from the other side of the mountain, and the flames of the furnaces burned day and night.

[Soon, you got your first batch of copper ingots.]

[Although the first batch of copper ingots contained a lot of impurities, the things made from them were more durable than pottery, stone, or bone tools.]

[However, you didn't make your first bronze artifact into a weapon or tool. Instead, you made a three-legged bronze tripod.]

[The bronze tripod can be used to cook food and also to commemorate important occasions.]

【Then you carved eight inscriptions on it.】

[“Today is the first time to cast copper, good luck”]

In the days that followed, you used the remaining copper ingots to cast eight more bronze tripods. These nine tripods replaced the traditional method of cooking in pottery. Everyone in the tribe was happy because they could now eat in bronze tripods.

After you finish making the bronze tripod, you can start making the bronze arrowheads.

After the arrows were equipped with durable bronze tips, the tribe's hunting skills skyrocketed. Wild animals were caught one after another, so many that they could not be eaten. The women had to cut the meat into long strips and smoke them over the fire.

【After smoking, the jerky can be kept for an additional month. 】

When one is well fed and warm, he will think of sexual desire.

[After solving the most basic problem of food and clothing, the tribe worked day and night to create little people, and two women were also sent to the house you lived in.]

【You choose? 】

[Option 1: Go up.]

[Option 2: No.] ...

See options.

Su Mo's eyes narrowed.

I immediately chose to refuse.

It's nothing, these two women are just too ugly.

One has rough features and a dark face, and the other has rough skin and a dull expression.

If you let yourself watch such a live pornographic show, it would be like torturing yourself.

You decisively rejected the two women's requests to serve you, and told the Qiang leader that you already had a woman you loved and had no interest in other women.

The Qiang leader was somewhat disappointed that he hadn't been able to leave your seed behind. He then led the two most beautiful women in his tribe to his room.

Having escaped the disaster, you secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the image of that little girl from back then couldn't help but appear in your mind.

[You are fifteen years old now. That little girl should have grown up like you.]

[As the days passed, when you were sixteen, a piece of news arrived from afar.]

[The Xuanniao, the mythical beast that protected the Shang people for generations, has died.]

No one knew how the black bird died, but the merchants were in a state of panic. For those merchants who believed in ghosts and gods, this was a curse from heaven.

[Not long after this message was sent, another message came.]

[King Di Xin of the Shang Dynasty has contracted a terminal illness and will not live long.]

[He was in a coma all day.]

[According to the divination of the high priest, the King of Shang needs a woman with a pure Yin destiny to marry him, and only then will his condition improve.]

After careful selection, the daughter of Jizhou Marquis Su Hu was chosen to marry the unconscious King of Shang and became the queen of the Shang Dynasty.

[This news was brought by the Qiang people from far away. By the time you heard it, it was actually several months or even a year ago.]

You are very worried about your father.

[Because you know very well that if someone like the King of Shang falls ill, the first thing he would do is definitely not to marry the Queen to bring good luck.]

Instead, they sacrificed slaves to the gods and ghosts, and even many high-ranking nobles.

[You don't know whether your father will be chosen.]

[But you can't go back. Even if you did, it would be useless. You can only bury this matter in your heart and live your life day after day.]

[Two more years passed like this.]

【An accident happened.】

[A group of merchant cavalry appeared from nowhere and surrounded you while you were hunting in the wilderness.]

[You fought desperately on the way and killed many cavalrymen.]

Your bravery has attracted the attention of all merchants. A powerful warrior like you is the best sacrifice to ancestors and gods.

[It may take decades for one to appear.]

All the merchant cavalrymen begin to attack you. They ignore the other Qiang people. As long as they can capture you, all their efforts will be worth it.

[Facing the siege of hundreds of cavalry, you gradually became tired.]

Even if your body is as strong as an ox, you still feel extremely tired.

【finally.】

You are caught in a big net.

[The merchant cavalry are excited and ready to take you to Chaoge City! ]
