    Thanks to the lovely Xili for the reward, and thank you sukibobo, Zijinyuan, Liuyunfeifeng for the pink tickets.

     Catch up on the second update, great!

    "An'er, what is sweet potato wotou?" Xiao Xueer asked eagerly after frying the cornmeal pancakes. Pieces of browned and fragrant cornmeal pancakes, except for what An Er ate, were all fried with meat oil, which smelled even more fragrant.

    It was noon, only Ming, Da'er, and An'er were eating, plus Yingxue who came to help. An Er's two men, Abu went hunting in the forest. And Yingye led a team of trade horses and went to the southwest to trade. In the more than a month that An'er was raising the baby at home, the two horse teams expanded their trade non-stop. The furthest they had reached was a tribe called Xia, more than 300 kilometers to the west.

      This tribe called Xia has a large population and can only eat half-full all year round. In winter, it is not bad to be able to maintain one meal a day, and it can only eat half-full. There, both men and women, young and old, have yellow faces and thin skin. There are almost no elderly people over the age of 40, and they were probably expelled to save food!

    There is no tribe within a hundred miles that has surplus grain to trade. Therefore, when Atayal's horse team arrived, the first pot of rice was emptied by the lean patriarch and elders. After they grabbed it, they just took a sip and gave the rest to the children who were watching. Those children all looked like bean sprouts, with big heads and small bodies. Because they cannot eat enough food all the year round, the clansmen in the southwest are relatively short.

      Food rations?"

    In the past, there was a tribe that was said to be a distant place. They used very little food to exchange for the people of Xia. As a result, a few months later, a clan who was exchanged fled back, saying that those who were exchanged were used as reserve rations for winter. He saw with his own eyes that a clan was killed, his internal organs were dug out and roasted on the fire, and he took advantage of a small beast swarm and escaped at the risk of death. After that, the patriarch of the Xia clan never used his population to trade with others.

    Yingye looked into the eyes of the patriarch of the Xia clan very solemnly, and said sincerely: "Like the rice and flour you have just tasted, our tribe has more than five or six caves. We come from the Atayal tribe blessed by the gods, have territories in forests and grasslands, and have artifacts that can hunt saber-toothed tigers and giant mantises, do you think we will still lack food and feed on humans?"

    "The tribe blessed by the Protoss?" The patriarch and elders of the Xia clan looked at each other and seemed to have doubts.

    A voice from the Xia tribe asked feebly: "The Atayal tribe? Isn't it a small tribe with only a few dozen people?"

    "You said it was a year and a half ago! A year and a half ago, the goddess came down from the sky, rescued the patriarch who was cut by the giant mantis and his intestines flowed out, and rescued Ataya. Now , our Atayal tribe has become a medium-sized tribe with more than 700 people, and can grow rice and wheat, and raise various animals. Now, we don’t need to hunt and gather, we have endless rice and wheat, and meat. Never missing!

    Have you seen these horses laden with cargo? This is a hurricane of the grasslands. We used the method taught by the goddess, not only to capture them, but also to tame them for our use! The patriarch can rest assured that the population we exchanged back is guaranteed to be able to eat enough, wear warm clothes, and even assign them to live in warm houses! If you don't believe me, you can send someone to come and see what I'm saying is the truth! "

    Yingye briefly introduced the situation in the tribe to the head of the Xia clan. The Xia people couldn't help feeling fascinated when they heard it.

    The weak voice that just opened was made by a woman who was so thin that she only had a handful of bones and was about forty years old. She tried her best to squeeze out the crowd, holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in her mouth. Maybe it was because she had been hungry for a long time, and she was out of breath after doing such a little movement. She ignored the reprimands of the Xia clan chief, looked straight at Yingye, and said, "I'm also from Atayal. I changed my marriage 20 years ago. Dao Cai came to the Xia clan! I'm old, I don't ask you to exchange me, I just ask you to exchange my little granddaughter! I kowtow to you!"

    The little girl in her hand was so thin that her neck was almost unable to support her big head. It was very sad to see.

    "You came from Atayal? Do you remember anyone else in the clan?" Yingye looked at her and asked.

    The woman said several names that Yingye had never heard of. After all, she has been traded out for more than 20 years, and many old people have fled, only more than 30 people are left to survive more than a year ago.

      There is a black mark that is born from birth!"

    A Tu exclaimed in surprise: "What you said is that I am numb, and there is a mole on my numb eyebrows - the goddess An'er said, that black mark is a mole!"

    "Are you A Cai's son? She was only thirteen years old when I was exchanged out. Now, it's right to give birth to such a big child! Who are you Baba? Are you also in the clan?" The woman recalled the past, with tears streaming down her cheeks, her dark hands kept wiping away the tears.

    "I am Baba, and now the clan calls him Laomo! I am now the head of the brick kiln in the tribe, and my mother also manages the textile and weaving groups!" Ah Tu He is a familiar girl. Seeing that the other party is an old acquaintance of his mother, he talked a lot, and also showed the other party the Gebu underwear he was wearing and the sack containing rice flour, and said that these were brought by his mother. Braided.

    The patriarchs and elders of the Xia clan also came over to watch, and couldn't help but wonder.

    The woman saw that A Tu was wearing a brand-new snow wolf skin, and there was a lot of flesh on her face and hands, and she knew that Taiya was indeed very different from before, and she felt yearning in her heart - if in her lifetime, It would be great to go back to the tribe that gave birth to her and raised her!

    A Tu looked at the poor and bony appearance of the woman and child, then pulled Yingye aside and said in a low voice, "Brother Yingye, let's exchange these grandparents, after all, it's our Ataya The old man of the tribe. Look, there is no one in the Xia tribe who is over forty years old. If she lacks food this winter, she will definitely be driven out!"

    Yingye thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Patriarch Xia, have you considered it? Are you willing to use human flesh for our food? We brought several kilograms of rice and If you all exchange flour, no one will starve to death this winter! And the clansmen you exchanged out will also follow our Ataya to eat and drink spicy food, and they are definitely going to enjoy it!"

    The patriarch of the Xia clan discussed with several elders for a long time, and finally made the most correct decision in their life: "For the guests who have come from afar, we are willing to exchange people for food, and we only ask you to be able to Treat them better and let them live a good life without worrying about food and clothing!"

    At that time, the patriarch of the Xia clan ordered more than 100 teenagers and young people, solemnly explained them, and patted one of the thin teenagers on the shoulder, and Yingye learned later that it was him The grandson, who is only thirteen years old, lied about his age, just to provide his grandson with food and clothing, and no longer starve like his ancestors!

    After hearing this, An'er was very sighed. When Yingye went to the business this time, he specially asked him to bring a message to this very human patriarch, saying that next spring they want to plant wheat and In the case of corn, she can lend them seeds and provide technical guidance. The premise is that the Xia people form an alliance with Ataya.

    Reporting back from Yingye and Atu, An'er identified the Xia clan as a very cohesive clan. Such people attach great importance to feelings and loyalty, and once they form an alliance, they will not betray. The Xia clan is also a large-populated clan in the southwest. If they can eat enough in the future, it will be a great help for Atayal!

    Because of the lack of food in the southwest, it is a big market for exchange, so before the second snow arrives, Yingye is going to go southwest again to exchange more labor for the tribe. Now, as an elder, Ying Ye is in charge of the trade of the two caravans and stays in the tribe for a few days a month! Even after hearing the news of An'er's pregnancy, she was really happy for a few days, but she still led the caravan out. What a responsible and good elder!

    An'er looked at the golden tortilla in her hand, and suddenly thought that she could bake a lot of tortillas to take as dry food in the future when she went to the caravan.

    "Ann, what are you thinking? Xiaoxue asks you something!" Da'er nibbled on the fragrant tortilla, and spit out corn dregs from his mouth when he spoke.

    An'er looked at the corn dregs on the reed mat with disgust, glared at him, and said, "When you eat, can you stop talking, spray everywhere, it's dirty! ...Eagle shh, you're back, come, eat two tortillas, it's delicious!"

    Eagle Boo has become an adult after winter. He is not participating in hunting today, but is responsible for the task of patrolling the tribe. He took a piece of tortilla and stuffed it into his mouth, bit it with his mouth, and then took a few more and put it in his arms before taking the piece out of his mouth and eating it in small bites, saying, "I'm patrolling the village, Come and see if An'er is feeling better. The patriarch is not here, tell us to take care of you! I'm on patrol, come back later..."

    After saying that, she ran out like the wind. The snow particles outside fell faster, and a thin layer was already spread on the ground. Yingxue carried a bowl of hot corn gooey, chased after him, and shouted, "Brother! Drink some hot porridge to warm up!"
