Chapter 1124 I’m in a hurry (3)
However, it would be a lot of trouble if it came down like this. Is it difficult to raise ducks by the river and send people to guard them all day long?Rush out in the morning and come back at night?
Jiong, this must be a duck that is obedient and willing to come and go every day.

"Let's dispose of it. It may be that ducks like water. Think of a way to see if you can bring water over." Wu Xiyue signaled Yangmu to throw it away, so that the children in the tribe would not pick it up and play with it.

Yang Mu said regretfully: "It's so small and can't be eaten. I can only lose it. I'll bury it in the soil." The women who didn't come out said, "Hurry up, it's going to rain heavily."

"I'm going to find Lao Da. Su He sent the animal skins. When it rains, I sew these animal skins together and don't put them away." Wu Xiyue didn't wait for the women to come out. Lao Da has been lying on the animal skin mat for the past few days. There is no way to get up. It is normal for people to get sick when they are old.

Yang Mu knew why she was looking for Lao Da, and sighed, "I'm afraid I don't have a few days to live. I heard Gesang say this morning that I don't want to eat anymore. The broth I sent you can't drink it after just one sip." go down."

Wu Xiyue really didn't know how old the old people in the tribe were, but they all grew up a little too fast, and they were often older than their actual age.

"Let's prescribe some more medicine. People can't stand it when they get old after being drenched in the rain. You and the women go back first, and I'll come over as soon as I go." Waving her hand, Wu Xiyue left by herself.

Lao Da and the others have worked hard for the tribe all their lives. Even when they are old, they are grinding stone tools for the young tribesmen and grinding various tools.

There are so many types of stone tools in the tribe now, she firmly believes that no other tribe can match them.

The old people live in two houses separately, and they themselves request to be farther away. It takes Wu Xiyue 10 minutes to walk there.

Before she got closer, she heard coughing, Wu Xiyue's eyes dimmed, and the coughing seemed to cough up her lungs.Old Duoji's old voice came, "You, I told you not to grind stone tools at night, but I didn't listen. Now it's better, and the cough is worse than yesterday. Lao Da, Lao Da, you are looking for death, right? .”

"You're really right." Lao Da's voice was very weak, but his aura still existed. He was a little leader among the old people, and he spoke with a strong force in it, "I know I can't live long, since I can't live Just grab hold of the stone tools at hand. Tashile and the others are cultivating land and planting food, and they go out to build the city wall every day. Hada and the others have to train horses every day and teach men how to ride horses. Young men don’t have them. It’s almost time to polish the stone tools, if I don’t hurry up, I’m really worried that one day the tribal stone tools won’t be enough.”

Hearing this, Wu Xiyue's eyes were full of soreness.Lao Da also wanted to be strong all his life, but he also thought about the tribe all his life.Back then he did many cruel things to women, but in that patriarchal era, men were gods and women were grass, so we can't blame Lao Da for being cruel.

There was a sound of "hohoho" grinding in the room. It was the old people who had rested for a while and started to polish the stone tools again.Since they have their own house, the old people are rarely seen walking around in the tribe, and occasionally they will come out for a walk, and they also go to the river to find stones suitable for grinding.

"The hoe is not easy to polish. I think I should tell Yue. She said last time that this was originally made of another material, and it would be difficult to polish it with a stone. Look, the one on the side The opening for the stick is too difficult to pierce, even if you poke slowly with a stone arrow." An old man said with difficulty.

Wu Xiyue wiped her eyes and approached, with a gentle smile, said: "Didn't it just say that it is too difficult to grind out? Don't beat it. I will find another material to make the hoe from time to time."

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room. The old people who were working stood up immediately when they saw her.

Lao Da struggled to get up, and Wu Xiyue hurried over to stop him, "If you are sick, you have to rest well, don't force yourself to get up." it's time.

He winked at old Duoji to tell the old people to go out for a while, and he needed to talk to Wizard Yue about something.Old Duoji knew what he was going to say, sighed in his heart and led the old people away.

As Lao Da's weak voice came slowly, Wu Xiyue's expression became more serious.He said that after his death, he hoped that the ashes and mud would be made into city bricks and built in the city wall. He said that he knew that he could not see a more powerful Cangcuo tribe, so he hoped that he could be with the city wall after death. After death, as long as the city wall does not fall down, he will be with the Cangcuo tribe forever.

These were Lao Da's last words before he died, and Wu Xiyue agreed, the old man's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, his lips trembled for a while, and he only uttered two words: "Thank you."

What are you thankful for? This is his wish and his last wish. As long as it is possible, she will definitely spare no effort.

That night, the old man who had been strong for a lifetime and almost became the leader of the Cangcuo tribe left with a smile on his face.Life and death, sickness and death let the clansmen already know that this is an unavoidable reality. In the deep sadness and suppressed smile, Lao Da's body was swallowed by the fire.In the end, Wu Xiyue collected a handful of ashes and sprinkled them in the mud pond overnight.

Tomorrow, it can be made into mud bricks, and after drying, it may be built on the city wall.

In the few days after Lao Da's death, the elders of the tribe were in a low mood. In order to make them happy, the men asked the elders to come out early in the morning of the fourth day.

I saw twelve strong wild horses neatly lined up in front of the old people. Wu Xiyue sat on the snow and said to the shocked old people: "This is the first tamed horse in our Cangcuo tribe. Wild horses, elders, these wild horses will become an inseparable part of our Cangcuo tribe. They can take us a long way, lead men to kill all the enemies who bully our tribe, and make our tribe The tribe grows stronger day by day, becoming the largest tribe in this territory!"

She didn't mention the Sky Kingdom's tribal alliance, because this is just an alliance and cannot be regarded as a tribe.

As soon as she raised her arm, the roars of the men resounded through the sky in an instant. As soon as she gave an order, the old people saw the tall and strong wild horse being ridden by the men, and it flew past with a long neighing sound. The wind blowing up caused a slight pain in the face.

The old people only knew that Wizard Yue took Hada and the others to tame horses, but they had never seen how they rode horses. With such hands exposed, the suppressed grief in their hearts seemed to have dissipated a lot, and they looked intently at the clansmen who were running farther and farther away. , the surprise is self-evident.

The man who built the city wall outside stopped. He straightened up and saw a group of wild horses galloping in the grass waves in front of him. There was a faint light in the cold. With the help of Yue, the man could finally run fast on the wild horses.
