MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 80

Sang Yu used the last big pottery tripod and a few pottery bowls to exchange four more slaves, and then set off back to Xindi with a group of people.

When I first came out of the tribe, I felt that the outside world was fresh. But after staying outside for so many days, I still feel comfortable and at ease in my own tribe.

When Mei and the others heard that they were going back, they felt relieved for a while, wishing they could all be home tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, about twenty miles away from the border of Bahe, Siya changed her usual lazy attitude and roared towards the forest behind, and everyone realized that they were being followed.

At Sang Yu's order, everyone immediately took up arms and put on guard.

The team of 180 people was divided into 18 teams, each member of the tribe took care of ten people, and the remaining twelve people, including the twenty-four people from the Rock tribe, were interspersed in the middle of the team as guards.

Facing unknown dangers, the twenty people including Ya were willing to obey Sang Yu's deployment. Eight soldiers held bamboo spears in front, and eight cavalry surrounded the team to be on guard at all times, and rushed forward whenever there was an order. Before destroying the enemy's formation, there are still eight archers with their backs against the crowd, and they draw their bows and arrows to guard the surroundings, and shoot arrows directly if something goes wrong.

However, following the rustling sound, a group of about twenty refugees came out of the bushes with their bodies bent.

Just as they approached the team, they were immediately forced to stop by shouting!

This small group of refugees staggered and couldn't hear the instructions clearly.

However, in the next instant, sharp arrows flying from all directions pierced the quiet air and flew towards them.

Before the refugees walking in the front row could blink, a neat row of sharp arrows were inserted within two inches of their toes.

The refugees were frightened in an instant. If they dared to take a step forward, the arrows would have shot at their legs. Everyone knelt down in unison, prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted, "Don't kill us, we are willing to go with you! —”

Only then did Sang Yu stop and asked Gao to ask about the situation.

It turned out that these refugees were from the surrounding tribes, large and small, who escaped because they could not bear the oppression and exploitation of the slave owners, and wanted to live in distant places. But they all have brand marks on their faces, no matter which tribe they walk alone, no one dares to accept them, and they can't get out here. As long as someone sees them, they will be escorted to the big tribe to receive rewards.

So they had to toss and turn to live in dense jungle caves.

They didn't dare to enter the Bahe Market, but outside they saw the Phoenix tribe buying slaves in large quantities.

The Phoenix Tribe bought so many slaves this time, following them would prevent them from being interrogated.

Originally, they were unwilling to continue to be slaves, but they had been displaced for so long, and there was no tribe to rely on, and people died one after another. There were only twenty-six people left in the original team of fifty or sixty people.

Especially after seeing the attitude of the Phoenix Tribe towards the slaves they bought, eating cassava and drinking broth, they gritted their teeth and followed.

Sang Yu made the group of people stand in two rows and looked over one by one.

Almost everyone has a variety of brand marks on their faces and arms, and scars on their backs. These people are skinny and haggard, their eyes are dark and lifeless, and they dare not look directly at Sang Yu's eyes, and shrink back Shrunken and terrified, humble to the appearance of dust.

There were still three or two pregnant women in the crowd, and it was a miracle that they were still alive.

Sang Yu said: "Are you willing to follow us? I'll put my ugly words first, go to the Phoenix Tribe, as long as you are obedient, no one will abuse and bully you. But if you have other thoughts that you shouldn't have, I will also be merciless. "

Intimidated by the two iron-eating beasts, the refugees have been hiding in the forest and watching from a distance for the past few days, not daring to approach.

But after many days of tracking and verification, I also realized that only by following these people can they survive.

Now when the female leader of the other party spoke, everyone knelt down one after another, saying that they would follow the Phoenix Tribe to the death and never betray.

No matter how sincere they are, Sang Yu wants this attitude. For the sake of life, they will bow their heads and be good on the road.

Once in the tribe, if you continue to do ideological work, as long as you don't have big thoughts like Liuhuo, they will obey willingly.

So three more subordinates were assigned to connect with the three teams respectively, and those who surpassed the previous team were evenly assigned to the last team.

In this way, except for the last team with eleven people, the other teams had ten people. The total number of slaves brought back this time was 211, which was regarded as exceeding the expected goal.

The most important task right now is how to bring this group of slaves back to the new land intact.

According to Sang Yu's wishes, the three team leaders in the back distributed some food to the newly joined group, took a short rest and continued on their way.

But now there are pregnant women and children in the team, and the walking speed is not fast enough.

But what is better than when we came here is that all the goods have been exchanged, and it is enough to bring some dry food, and the horses and people are relaxed.

Sang Yu warned all his subordinates to go back this way, not for speed, but for stability.

Everyone responded one by one.

After more than 20 days of getting along with each other, Ya has experienced the emergency mechanism of the Phoenix Tribe in an immersive way, and also has a taste of the principles and methods of Sangyu as the leader.

The biggest feeling is meticulous and orderly.

The separate management of the team is also worth learning. Once an emergency comes, each is currently in charge of their own team, so as not to be in a mess.

She couldn't help asking: "Do I have to buy another batch next year?"

Sang Yu thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily next year, but if it goes well, we can come back next year. Don't you need it in your tribe?"

Ya shook her head: "Now these people have to be stabilized first. And we have a lot of people, and we have a lot of children, so we don't need to buy people from outside for the time being."

"You have a large population base."

"Let's see how our planting industry can do in the next two years. As long as there is enough food, there is no need to worry about many people."

"As long as you keep opening up wasteland and cooking well, there will always be something to eat."

I can’t guarantee other food such as mulberry elm, but cassava is a simple and easy-to-live crop that is resistant to drought and salinity. As long as it is planted in the soil, it can basically survive, and it can produce four tons per mu. You can’t starve to death with this alone. people.

"I hope so."

Stop and go all the way, rush during the day and set up camp at night to rest.

After walking like this for almost eight days, Sang Yu and the others unfortunately encountered a rainy day.

On the marching road before, there was no rain. So when the rain came this time, everyone was not prepared.

In this era, umbrellas and raincoats have not yet been created, so we can only shelter from the rain.

Find a suitable cave as a place to shelter from the rain, rest your feet temporarily, and continue on your way when the rain stops.

Unfortunately, what they passed right now happened to be a large plain, and the surrounding area was bare, not even a single tree to shelter from the rain.

The rain fell for a particularly long time, and everyone could only walk forward in the rain.

As soon as it rained, Sangyu gave Yu the only waterproof cosmetic bag the size of an A4 paper. There were paper and pens in it, and asked Yu to put the seeds in, so that the seeds could not be drenched by the rain.

Then let Gaohejiao beat the horse forward, first go to the surrounding area to find a solid and spacious cave, and temporarily shelter from the rain.

Others can only move on.

Every team leader was also extremely nervous at this time. Because each team has children of different ages, the younger ones have to be carried by adults on their backs.

Pregnant women need extra care, and mothers with children take care of their own children.

This group of weak and young people accounted for half, which also brought great difficulties to the actions of the entire team.

The rain poured down from the sky, and everyone got soaked.

The fighters of the Phoenix Tribe did their duty, maintaining order and supporting each other to move forward.

At this time, Ya couldn't just leave the Phoenix Tribe and leave. Otherwise, it would be treachery, and she was strong and strong, so it was nothing to be exposed to the rain. She just wanted to see how Sang Yu would deal with the current problem.

And the first ones to disintegrate were actually the people inside the slaves. A few men in their prime of life directly proposed to give up those pregnant women. Otherwise, at this speed, when they find a place to shelter from the rain, the children will probably be drenched.

When Sang Yu heard that his subordinates reported what those people had said, he stopped and stared at them without any warmth in his eyes.

"You guys stay!"

"Send the order, the ten teams in front will advance at full speed, find a place to shelter from the rain first, and don't leave a single child behind."

After speaking, he said to those men: "Help them walk, if they can't walk, carry them away, if they make any mistakes, you don't have to live."

With this order, the crowd whispered to each other, and the sound of discussion mixed with the sound of rain made a commotion.

Everyone expressed their willingness to stay and wait to go with the pregnant woman.

These women have had children, and they understand the hardships better. Now at this point, the female leader has to bring the pregnant woman along anyway.

It is conceivable that no matter what kind of situation they encounter in the future, no matter what their status is, they will not be easily abandoned.

"Go ahead, the children can't stand it."

In the rain, some children were already coughing.

Sang Yu gave the order, and nothing can be discussed.

Fortunately, Gao soon rode back and said that there were several caves and big trees not far ahead, and he could take shelter there first.

So everyone helped each other and headed towards the destination.

But when they got to the entrance of the cave, no one dared to go in.

Although the new master is benevolent, after all, with their status as slaves, how dare they compete for territory with the master.

Sang Yu was very satisfied with this attitude. Although she didn't have any sense of privilege, knowing how to advance and retreat represented discipline, and it was also convenient for her to arrange personnel.

"All the children and pregnant women went in, and the others took shelter under the trees outside for the time being."

"Gao, lead someone to cut down trees to build a temporary shelter, and try to let everyone avoid the rain."

"Jiao, find a way to find some dry branches to make a fire, let them take off the animal skins and dry their hair, or they will get sick."

The assigned people acted quickly. They secretly brought a few machetes. They never dared to expose them to the crowd at the market. They were also used for self-defense. At this time, they finally came in handy. They were mixed with stone knives and bone knives. .

The cave is not big and can only accommodate fifty or sixty people.

The women with their children stuffed their children into the cave, and then hurried out of the cave to make room.

Eleven or twelve-year-old children also took the initiative to stand outside and give up space to younger children.

Seeing this scene, Sang Yu felt relieved.

He did not hesitate to praise: "You have done a good job, everyone takes care of each other, and one day, you will also be taken care of."

Young people are easy to be satisfied, and they are already too proud to be praised. Even their small chests stand up. Seeing Gao and the others dragging branches, they also stepped forward to help.

Everyone worked together, and in less than half an hour, several sheds were built.

Although there is only a roof, it is enough to keep out the rain.

Fortunately, at this time, the rain gradually became lighter, turning into a fine drizzle.

But the sky also darkened, and Sang Yu decided to rest here temporarily tonight.

So the soldiers were asked to separate the sheds with big leaves and branches, with men on one side and women on the other side, warming to the fire to dry clothes and hair, and by the way boil some water to boil **** to prevent colds.

Although the pottery tripod has been used up, the team still brought two small tripods for their own use, which are used to boil hot water for drinking every day when they arrive at the foothold.

The awareness of boiling water has spread to all aspects.

Mei hurriedly took out the **** and cut it, and Yu led people to find a water source to fetch water.

The other slaves were fine. In the weather in August, everyone was barely wearing anything. Just take off the animal skins and dry them, and then dry their hair.

On the contrary, it was the Phoenix warriors, who were wearing sackcloth, and now they were soaked heavily when they were soaked in water.

The men had already taken off their sackcloth for the first time, although Mei and Erxue had gradually learned to protect their privacy in the past two years.

But in such a situation, he didn't hold back. He tore off the sackcloth and put it next to the fire, while he stood and dried his hair.

Only Sangyu was left, but in the end she only took off her underwear, so she couldn't do anything else.

Yu had been cooking with Sang Yu for more than three years, and he knew the virtues of his leader. After fetching water, he found branches and fiddled with them in the shed a few times to set them up again, and then used everyone's sackcloth as a curtain for her Carve out a separate baking booth.

Sang Yu breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and cast a grateful look at her.

What I received was a sweet smile from the little girl.

She has smiled a lot recently, and she is no longer as gloomy as before, Sang Yu thought to herself.

At this time, the underwear on her body and the change in her bag were all wet, so she could only bake one set and wear another.

Everyone else knew that their leader had a strong sense of privacy, so they didn't bother her, only Yu came in from time to time with firewood in his arms.

It was getting darker, the rain had stopped, and the ground was starting to dry out.

Erxue and Gao arranged to have dinner.

The children also came out of the hole and sat down in rows according to the original team.

The jerky that was not eaten on the way also came in handy at this time. After eating the jerky and cassava, each person had to drink a bowl of **** soup to drive away the cold and prevent colds.

Children can't get used to this bitter **** water. But in order not to get sick, he frowned and finished drinking.

After drinking, arrange to go to bed. After it rains and the ground is damp, I find firewood and burn it on it. After it is dry, I put a layer of dry leaves on it, and I will fall asleep for the sky and the ground.

The burnt ground was still steaming, and it looked a bit sultry in the early autumn season. People gathered together and talked in low voices, and lay down after the heat passed.

Sang Yu didn't feel sleepy at this time, sitting by the fire and continuing to toast the undried clothes.

A row of sackcloth separated her from the disturbing crowd at the edge of the cave, like two worlds.

Ya sat and chatted with her for a while, and then went to sleep.

Yu followed the others to settle the slaves, and then came to find her.

"Are you all asleep?"

"Not yet, the ground is hot, and I'm still saying this."

"Well, did you drink **** soup just now?"

Yu nodded to show that she drank it. Since Sang Yu told her last time that she wanted to continue to grow taller, she could eat whatever she was asked to eat. Now **** soup prevents illness, so of course she obediently drinks it.

"I drank two bowls."

As he spoke, he rummaged through the bamboo poles for his clothes.

Just now, I followed other soldiers to carry some more firewood, stepped on a puddle, and wet my clothes again.

Sang Yu leaned against the root of the big tree, and used a wooden stick to carry the firewood in the fire.

When she looked up, a Miaoman figure came into view just like this.

At this time, the moonlight was very dark, and the fire was used as a lamp, so the scars on his body could not be seen.

But at a glance, she felt that her overall body proportions were perfect, and her back was smooth. It didn't take long, and she felt that she had grown a bit taller.

The little girl turned sideways and raised her hand to get the clothes, and the exquisite couple appeared in front of Sang Yu's eyes.

With a little jerky.

She was shy, but half of it was blocked by her back.

The feeling of still holding the pipa and half covering the face is like the stickiness at the apex of the heart, with three points hazy and seven points temptation.

Sang Yu's heart skipped a beat, she lowered her head subconsciously, her eyes fixed on the raging flames in front of her.

After a while, I found my own voice, "Why did you change your clothes again?"

"I stepped on the water and splashed wet all over. I have to dry it after a while, otherwise I won't be able to change it later."

When the rustling sound ended, Sang Yu raised her head and said, "Give me the clothes, and I'll dry them for you."

Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally handed her the clothes as promised.

Fortunately, the little inside is not wet.

Sang Yu pinched the clothes that still had the other person's body temperature in her hands, lowered her head, and missed those wet eyes.

Yu had nothing to do, he paused when he was going out, and finally sat down on the opposite side.

But his eyes secretly looked at the leader who was helping him bake clothes. Because her hair was wet, the woman's long hair, which was originally tied up, was now draped over her shoulders, showing a soft and charming look.

It's just that half of the other party's face is hidden in the darkness, and the night light is dim, so the expression on the face cannot be seen.

Just when she was about to say something, Mei hurried over, pushed aside the curtain made of sackcloth, and said anxiously: "Boss, a child has a fever."

Hearing this, Sang Yu glanced at Yu quickly, then hurriedly put the clothes in her hand on the wood, and got up quickly.

Just because he was too anxious, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Yu at the side quickly put his arms around her waist, and put his arms around her, only then did he stabilize his figure.

Sang Yu didn't care about the softness all over her body, and followed behind Mei in three steps at a time.

The one with fever was a three-year-old girl who had no parents and was directly sold by a slave owner.

The team leader does his best to take care of this kind of young people without parents, even walking with their backs on their backs.

Now I have a fever, and I don't know if it's because of the rain or other reasons.

When Sang Yu arrived, the girl was surrounded by a large group of people, and Sang Yu asked them to go back to the team. It was time to rest and watch the night, leaving only Mei by her side.

When he touched the girl's body, his forehead was hot and his eyes were tightly closed.

"Is there any **** soup, bring the jar here."

"Get some more water in a big bowl, Yu, and get my towel."

It didn't take long for the order to go, and the things arrived at hand soon.

She first fed the girl some **** soup, wanting her to continue to sweat and detoxify.

Then let Yu tear the towel in half, dry one half to wipe sweat, and soak the other half in cold water, wipe the child's four fingers, and then cover his forehead, hoping to reduce the temperature and fever.

After this movement, the child felt more comfortable, but his whole body was still hot.

Sang Yu knelt on the ground and repeated the process over and over again tirelessly.

She leaned/bent down, her long hair hanging down over her face.

But the drops of sweat falling down showed her anxiety at this moment.

Sang Yu is really anxious. These children are skinny and have obviously not had milk for a few days. They are malnourished. She thinks that bringing them back to the tribe will definitely change the lives of these children in the future. They will not continue to suffer in fear Hungry, they can regain their innocence and joy.

There is only half of the way left now, and she doesn't want anyone to have any bad situations.

Seeing this, Mei hurriedly said, "Leader, I'll come."

Sang Yu knew that such emotions were useless to control the child's condition, so suppressing the anxiety in her heart, she handed the towel to Mei.

But before she stood up, there were exclamations from other people in the cave.

"Boss, my child also has a fever."

Sang Yu's temples were throbbing suddenly.

Get up quickly to check, what you get is the same hot temperature.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to deal with it immediately."

After speaking, he beckoned to a Phoenix warrior and asked him to tear up the changed clothes to make towels, and cool the child down as he did just now.

The soldiers hurriedly took orders to prepare.

"Gao, ask all the team leaders to check how many people in their team have fever symptoms, adults and children must confirm."

Gao quickly arranged it.

Yu was not idle either, he took a torch and went to fetch water from the stream with another soldier, and continued to cook **** soup.

Soon the team leader's report came up, a total of eight children and two adults had fever symptoms.

Sang Yu's head buzzed.

"Check again to see if these people have symptoms of hot and cold, want to vomit, and sweat all the time. If so, check them for mosquito bite wounds."

Sang Yu faintly felt that something was wrong. Eight out of two hundred people had a fever. This ratio was too scary.

"Boss, these children have all kinds of wounds on their bodies, it's hard to tell them apart."

Hearing this, Sang Yu went to a feverish child and turned her body. Sure enough, there were more or less wounds on his body, bruises, whips, and it was impossible to tell whether he was bitten by mosquitoes or not.

She gritted her teeth, stood up and asked, "Among us, does anyone know which plants can repel mosquitoes?"

Ya also came over at this time, quickly grabbed her sleeve and said: "Sangsang, it's night, even if you recognize it, you won't be able to see it when it's dark."

"At night, I have to look around with a torch."

She suspected that the group of children had malaria, which is transmitted through mosquito bites.

In autumn like this, the weather is still very hot, and sleeping under such caves and trees is bound to be bitten by mosquitoes.

Now eight people have symptoms, and measures must be taken immediately to prevent the spread.

Immediately a man stood up from the crowd and said, "Boss, I recognize it. Give me a torch, and I'll find it."

"Gao, arrange the torches and let the two soldiers follow her to find them."

"Erxue, Yan, when there is a glimmer of light tomorrow, you will set off. One person and two horses will rush back to the tribe, and bring the incense. I will draw a piece of paper for you to take back later, and ask her to follow the picture above. bring the medicine."

One person and two horses can travel one to two hundred kilometers a day without sleep.

Now they have gone half way, as long as they continue to hurry, they can reach the tribe in one and a half days.

But when the fragrance arrives, it will have to be three days later at the earliest.

But at least it took more than half of the time to arrive at the tribe in eight days as originally planned. If it was really malaria, they would die within five to seven days without treatment. When Xiang arrived, they still had time.

And what Sangyu wants to bring is Artemisia annua.

There are a lot of Artemisia annua growing around the tribe, and the incense has also been used for medicine.

Artemisia annua can cure malaria, and it will have obvious therapeutic effect.

Sangyu is not an encyclopedia. She knew this because of the fact that the artemisinin extracted by scientists won the Nobel Prize. At the time of the report, there was a popular science on Artemisia annua.

Therefore, I also have some general impressions of malaria.

I didn't expect it to be used here.

Although this artemisinin is not the other Artemisia annua, it is true that Artemisia annua has been used to cure malaria in history.

She prayed in her heart that it must not be malaria. After all, this disease will kill people if it is not handled properly.

But now the situation is like this, she also has to prepare for the worst.

Seeing Sang Yu's appearance as if he was facing an enemy, everyone's heart arose.

Erxue and Yan quickly responded, and quickly found a quiet place to rest and store up their energy.

Some of the slaves seemed to have seen such symptoms before, and their faces turned pale immediately, talking in low voices.

After arranging these things, Sang Yu stood up and said: "Everyone, don't worry, I know you are wondering whether these people are infected with miasma disease. But it is not yet certain, but this disease can be cured by our tribe, so we have to do both Get ready, everyone listen to my arrangement, and nothing will happen."

The leader made arrangements in a few words to dispel everyone's concerns, and those who were panicked could only suppress the panic in their hearts and wait for the next step.

Sang Yu divided everyone into two groups and set up another camp. One side was those with fever and the other side was healthy.

And ordered everyone to wear clothes with clothes, not to expose the skin, so as not to be infected by mosquito bites.

Take a change of clothes and share your sackcloth with other slaves.

Although there are not enough clothes, it counts as much as it can prevent.

It didn't take long before the people who went looking for anti-mosquito plants also came back, and the grasses were distributed to everyone, and after breaking the stems, they gave off a fragrance, driving away the mosquitoes.

Sang Yu selected a few slaves who seemed to be in good spirits, and asked them to follow Mei. The main task tonight was to take care of these sick people one-on-one, including cooling down, drinking water, and urinating.

"Everyone else is going to sleep, to conserve their strength, and continue on their way tomorrow."

Although everyone was terrified, the female leader's eyes were firm and bright, with a reassuring majesty.

So everyone obeyed the order and went back to their respective areas to lie down.

Ya had heard about miasma disease, so she was frightened at first. But after seeing Sang Yu's performance just now, his heart also settled down, and he was even more appreciative. He came up and patted her on the shoulder and said, "You also have a good rest. My people will come to watch the night tonight, so relax."

The support from the rock tribe is especially valuable at this time. Sang Yu gave her a grateful look, and the two reached out to touch the backs of each other's hands.

Ya raised her chin at Yu, telling her to follow Sang Yu closely.

Yu Zi did this, and has always done so, wanting to take her to rest.

Sang Yu said, "Bring that waterproof bag, I want to draw."

It was only then that Yu remembered what she had just said about letting Erxue and the others take the painting back.

Xiaoqiao's face suddenly wrinkled into a little bitter gourd. When others are leaders, they eat delicious food, drink well, and feel comfortable. As the leader of my own family, it is really hard work and I can't be comfortable for a few days.
