"Will there be too much cloth for everyone?" The old priest's thin hand gently stroked the smooth cotton cloth surface, and looked at Tianhao with inquiry: "In fact, everyone can just give a piece of clothing, it won't be enough for that."

The length of the cloth in this era was twenty meters. According to the average height of the northern barbarians, a piece of cloth was quite abundant when cut into clothes.

"Give them more!" Tianhao slowly shook his head with a smile: "It's fine for men, but women must have a few clothes to wear, pants and skirts. The weather is hot, so they can't always cover their leather robe. Even if our own people in our village don't say it, other villages will take this as a joke."

The old priest ignored this and smiled and said, "Do as you think!"

When leaving the old priest's wooden house, Tianhao saw Ayi standing not far away.

She was wearing a wide deerskin robe, bare legs like other women in the village, and rough animal leather shoes. The clavicle on her slender shoulders raised, showing a very beautiful outline. She was a little hesitant, as if she wanted to come over, but there was a clear hesitation on her face. After a few seconds, she felt Tianhao looking at this side, quickly lowered her head, and turned around and ran away with the two blush on her face that had rapidly expanded the area.

Tian Kuang held the handle of the battle axe behind him and grinned. He pushed Tian Hao hard with his shoulders, and said with a wink and said, "Last brother, Ayi likes you."

Before Tianhao could answer, Tiankuang shook his head regretfully: "Ayi looks so ugly. She is too thin and ugly."

Tianhao made a "um" sound from his nostrils thoughtfully. He stared at Ayi's back, thought for nearly half a minute, slowly withdrew his gaze, and whispered to Tiankuang: "I'll go back first, call Pingjun."

...

Pingjun knelt in front of Tianhao, lowered her head, looking panicked.

This is the Panshi Village Council Hall. The door is usually closed and you can only come in with the permission of the three leaders of the village. In the past few months, this place has been crowded with people who have been exchanged from outside. Now that the new house has been built, the Council Hall will naturally be empty.

"I know you have been having a bad time." Tianshuang brought a pot of boiled hot water from home. Tianhao brewed two cups of black leaf tea, sat cross-legged, and placed one of them in front of Pingjun: "Drink! I want to have some things to talk to you."

The effect of fusion points in the body is obvious. Tianhao is now enough to crush Pingjun in terms of physical fitness. He deliberately let Tiankuang stay outside, and there are only two people in the room, he and Pingjun.

"I don't like killing, but I don't oppose killing. You defected to Fusong to deal with me, and I also know that you once wanted to kill me and my sister. The reason why you let you live is not that I am particularly easy to talk to, nor is that I am a kind person. If you kill one person in the village, you will be less than one, but we have to do a lot of things. Boil salt, fish, build houses, dig peat, weave fishing nets, go up the mountain to cut trees... One more person will have more strength, so Panshi Village does not raise lazy ghosts and waste. Do you understand what I mean?"

Tianhao's tone was plain and there was no threatening element. But the more this happened, the more scared Pingjun felt, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He had been waiting for death since Fusong's head was cut off and hung on the wall of the meeting hall.

Tianhao captured all Fusong's confidants. He did not have the bloody killings he had imagined, and he didn't even beat and inquire. However, in the next month after that incident, everyone, including Ping Jun, only received the minimum food ratio.

Pingjun has never understood why this is.

"We are all people in the village. We usually look up but don't look down. There is no deep blood hatred between us. Speaking of which, it's all about food. If we can eat enough, who would have done these on purpose?" Tianhao sighed with emotion, turned his head, and looked at the light that was transmitted through the gap in the door. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Ping Jun sitting opposite him, and asked casually: "Your family has also been assigned cotton this time. Let's make a few clothes to wear when you go back!"

A special energy buried deep in the blood suddenly rushed over to the top of his head and quickly radiated in every corner of his body. Pingjun opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but in the end he failed to make a sound.

There was an impulse in his heart.

Apart from Fusong, the replacement of the village leader did not affect the second person. From Tianhao's perspective, this kind of thing is actually very simple. Fierce beasts and heavy snow are the best guards. They turned Panshi Village into a natural prison last winter. As long as the food is controlled from the source, no one will leave at that time. Whether it is Fusong's confidants or their enemies, all the messy thoughts are shattered in the face of hunger. Using a bone with flesh can determine a person's future destiny.

Pingjun has no reason not to obey orders, otherwise he will starve to death.

Tianhao did think about killing Pingjun. The idea of ​​killing faded as the situation continued to change. On the one hand, he made a promise to the old priest, and on the other hand, Tianhao wanted to see if he could have an impact on Pingjun.

Now it seems that the effect is remarkable.

Ning Ding looked at Ping Jun, watching him press his hands on the floor with trembling all over his body, bent his whole body, and respectfully performed the most noble etiquette of the northern barbarians in the face of himself.

This shows that one is willing to be loyal to oneself.

Tianhao waited patiently for Pingjun to complete the entire ceremony, straightened up again, and then asked seriously: "There is something I don't understand. You don't even look down on so many women in the village, why do you only need to capture Ayi?"

Last winter, when he was just becoming the "Ten Head", Ayi told Tianhao: Pingjun wanted to catch her and sell her.

Later, Fusong killed Dong Ji, and Ping Jun took this opportunity to arrest Ayi, but unfortunately she escaped.

"During the winter festival, you go to capture Ayi, you probably want to kill her, right?" Tianhao took a sip of tea, felt the aftertaste dissipated in his mouth, his eyes flashed with his shrewdness: "Why, do you want to sell Ayi? To whom do you sell it?"

"It's a businessman from the southern village. His name is Jin Sheng." Ping Jun did not hide anything and said honestly: "He has been in Qinglong Village for a long time. I used to go there to find him."

"Businessman?" Tianhao frowned slightly: "Businessman like us?"

Ping Jun understood this sentence and nodded: "Yes, he is a member of the Niu tribe. Like us, he belongs to the Leiniu tribe."

Tianhao's doubts were still unsolved: "Why did he buy Ayi? Ayi is not pretty... Well, it's very ugly. There are so many young and beautiful women in the village, why do you like Ayi?"

This is one of the many problems that have been lingering in Tianhao's mind for a long time.

Ping Jun's face showed a hesitant look. He hesitated for a moment and slowly opened his mouth: "I also found it strange at the beginning. Later, I stared at Jin Sheng and asked a few times. He was impatient before telling me that women like Ayi are indeed ugly, but they are not like this in the eyes of white people in the southern continent. They like very thin women, especially those with very thin waists, and Ayi meets their requirements."

"The white man from the southern continent?" Tianhao slowly chewed on this sentence. He controlled it well, and his inner shock did not show any trace of it on his face.

"It's the people south of Lock Dragon Pass." Pingjun tried hard to search for memories in his mind: "I have never been to Lock Dragon Pass. It is said that only the most powerful warriors are qualified to fight there. That pass separates us from the white world, we are in the north, and they are in the south."

"The businessman you mentioned... Jin Sheng, where is he now?" Tianhao directly grasped the core of the problem.

"Maybe he will be in Qinglong Village!" Ping Jun himself couldn't be sure: "He always walks everywhere, and I don't know where he is. Anyway, he will go to several villages around us, and there is no fixed place."

"Go and find him and bring him back." Tianhao knew very well that he could no longer extract more useful information from Pingjun: "Tell him that I want to discuss a business with him."

...

Five babies were born in the village.

Originally, there should be eight, three of them died of difficult labor. Women have always helped women with births. Thanks to the previous leader Fusong, Panshi Village has been short of food for several consecutive years, and the elderly were almost killed. The young woman has no experience in delivering births. The problem of improper fetal position caused by difficult labor must be solved through caesarean section. However, when Tianhao got the news, the woman who helped deliver the births had already grabbed the baby's hands and feet from the middle of the pregnant woman's legs and dragged it out... When the child left the mother's body, his head was tilted to one side and his neck bone was broken.

The reason why they are called "barbarians" is that they have too many problems to solve and too many current situations to change.

The old priest boiled a large pot of black herbs and watched the weak mothers drink it. He scooped up a handful of cooled wood ash from the fire pit to stop bleeding. He was soaked in blood and replaced with another handful of dryness. If there was not enough ashes at home, he would go to another house to ask for it... Tianhao felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, and now he had to give him another terrible option of "gynecology (obstetrics) doctor".

The new order was issued at the first time: the husbands of mothers are strictly prohibited from driving them out of bed with any excuses.

Barbarian women are very strong. Even if they have children, which are harmful to their bodies, they will continue to work hard the day after giving birth.

Men find it difficult to understand.

The women were very happy because the young leader immediately issued a second order: all mothers can get double rations within two months of childbirth.

Population is the basis of reproduction. Tianhao did not break the rules, he just made these women live better than before.

More women in the village are getting pregnant.

In a few months, my sister Tianshuang will be ten years old and reach the age to get married.
Chapter completed!
