Chapter 32: Lu Heng's Sense of Crisis
After getting Lu Heng's permission, the Wind Raiders stayed outside the Cold Feather Mountain.
For a wandering tribe, it was not difficult to build a village and set up a fortress in a new environment.
After choosing an open and flat place, they took down the tents on the back of the tortoises and set up a camp on the spot. As for a wooden fence surrounding the settlement, the Wind Raiders did not need it.
They were not afraid of beasts and demons, and did not need to follow the ways of the ordinary villages to establish a defensive fence. If a beast mistakenly entered the camp, they would catch it.
The Li people were strong by nature. Even a three-year-old child left in the wilderness, as long as he did not meet any real demons, there was no danger. Ordinary beasts were not a threat to the Li people.
And after the camp was built, the Wind Raiders began to reclaim the nearby barren hills, and raise livestock, and build their new homes in an orderly manner.
However, their act of reclaiming the barren hills made the villagers of Shuisheng Village very puzzled. All the land in the plain area outside the Cold Feather Mountain that was suitable for reclamation into rice fields had been reclaimed by them already. But the Li people seemed to have no intention of reclaiming barren fields in the plains where water could be easily diverted for irrigation, instead they reclaimed fields in the overgrown hills.
This kind of field, except for growing some vegetables, simply can not grow crops.
But soon, their confusion was solved.
Because after the Li people finished reclaiming the land, they sent people to visit Shuisheng village, and sent many crops they discovered by themselves.
The two items of food that were used as staple food by the Li people were something new that the villagers had never seen before.
The first one, which looks like a small yellow mallet, was densely covered with yellow particles. The Li people call it yellow rice, and they strip it down, break it into pieces, and then steam and eat it, just like the people of Shuisheng Village eat rice.
The other one, the Li people called ground potato. It was said to be dug out from the ground, and it could be steamed and fried. According to the Li people, these two things were different from rice, so they did not need to divert water for irrigation, that is, they could be grown on the barren land of the wild mountains.
So the villagers knew why the Li people reclaimed the barren mountain - these Li people grew crops that were different from the rice they grew.
Some people in the village were interested in these two things, so they tentatively asked how to grow them. It was just a casual question, in case this was a secret of the Li people.
However, the Li people taught the villagers how to grow these two crops and what to look for, and even agreed to come to the village in the coming spring to teach the villagers who were willing to learn.
The villagers were shocked by the enthusiasm of the Li people. But when the villagers went to ask the village chief after the Li people left, they learned that this group of Li people had always been like this.
Every time they migrated to a new place, they would teach the locals how to grow yellow rice and ground potatoes, and would also enthusiastically offer their special seedlings.
However, the old village chief did not say anything about the fact that the land left behind by the Li people would be given to the local residents every time they migrated away.
He didn't want everyone to know about such an important matter.
When the Li people leave, they can continue to use those barren lands completely.
The village chief intended to turn around and pay a separate visit to the old priest of the Li tribe to talk about the future ownership of these lands......
The day after the Li people sent the crops, they set up a small bazaar in the wilderness outside Shuisheng Village, exchanging farming tools and kitchen utensils with the residents of Shuisheng Village.
These Li people exchanged their brand-new iron tools for the villagers' worn-out iron tools that had been used for many years.
And the iron they cast were all well-made.
The villagers did not know whether these foreigners were good or bad, but no one refused such a good deed, so they all swarmed to the bazaar to exchange for the new iron tools.
By the end of the bazaar, the image of the Li people had been totally changed. They were like a good man who did not ask for anything in return!
The original barriers had now disappeared. The villagers all warmly welcomed the Li people, and were eager for them to stay here for a few more years.
And just on the day the bazaar ended, Lu Heng also woke up from underground.
He vaguely felt the bustle in the mountains in recent days. But the Li people only moved around the periphery of the mountain range, and did not enter the mountain forest, so there was not much noise, and did not disturb Lu Heng. Lu Heng also concentrated on cultivation, ignoring external affairs.
Now out from underground, standing on the top of the Cold Feather Mountain overlooking the side, the scene outside the mountain immediately made Lu Heng freeze.
These...... Wind Raiders were so many!
In his vision, the outer area of the Cold Feather Mountain had five living camps. The scale of each camp was not small, at least a thousand people or more.
Moreover, after careful observation, Lu Heng found that the Li people were all vigorous, strong and powerful. Not to mention the adults, even a five-year-old child’s blood vitality and the body strength could equal that of the tigers in the mountain.
They could carry a hundred pounds of rock to play around, and could jump several meters high...... Where did they come from? Compared to the villagers, they were not the same species at all!
Although when he saw that old priest, Lu Heng knew that there were many powerful people in these Wind Raiders of the Li tribe.
A tribe that could migrate around this savage world where monsters and demons were rampant was certainly not weak.
But no matter how, this was too powerful......
The more he observed the movement of the Li people, the more alarmed Lu Heng became.
Lu Heng had a sense of crisis after seeing such a powerful group of neighbors.
He looked up at the huge vortex clouds above his head and pondered. Until now he had been busy cultivating, because he wanted to transform into a human soon. So he did not research on the means of attack.
After all, this Cold Feather Mountain was remote, so he did not worry about the demons. Even if he encountered a demon, with the power of heavenly thunder in the body, Lu Heng was not very worried.
But now there comes so many terrifying Li people...... He has to study something new.
Otherwise, if the Li people had bad intentions, like rush into the mountain and break the temple, he could not resist them.
Thinking of this, Lu Heng gazed at the direction of Li people.
He will have to study some powerful means of self-defense......
