Chapter 22： wait

In the following days, human wall training is the norm, but under the command of Rurik, many children began to do more complex training.

But they are still children, they have great potential, and they are still extremely weak.

Now Rurik is still a little worried, he is too young, and his only appeal can only recruit the existing group of peers.

There are many children in the tribe who are over ten years old. They disdain to run to the hills. Instead, they are used to playing "games" at the beach and venting their strength on the gravel. In the end, they always go back to their homes with hurt faces. .

That kind of solo fight is the ancient tradition of the Ross tribe, and the best of them will have a particularly resounding name.

Ross people, they worship the strong!

Let's talk about the strong, what is the strong? In Rurik's view, the courage of a man is not enough. It can tame a group of warriors and train a group of stragglers into a whole. Such talents are really strong.

Not only that, a good leader has a reason to intervene in the affairs of the entire tribe. The greatest duty of a leader is to ensure the survival of the tribe, and secondly, to seek happiness for the tribe.

Lurik has been in this fjord since he was born, and he has never left Roseburg.

Through the observation of the Ross tribe, he can estimate the situation of the entire European continent in this era. The cruel reality is in front of him, the tribe is too poor!

People are poor, and they use simple tools for production and life. Although there are excellent boatsmiths and blacksmiths, the craftsmanship is not outstanding, so the daily necessities made are relatively simple.

Using these simple tools, fishing and planting are not easy tasks, especially in the warm period, planting cold-resistant vegetables on the barren hillside land, due to technology, variety and climate reasons, the harvest is always very bad.

The Ross tribe planted some onions, cabbage, and other cold-resistant vegetables, but they didn’t know how to fertilize at all, and they didn’t even bother to water them. If they can cultivate more intensively, the output must be better.

Maybe for them, intensive farming is superfluous.

They are poor people themselves, and they are easily satisfied because they are never rich. They are also brave sea heroes. Compared to intensive cultivation and craftsmanship in order to increase labor output in all aspects, it is better to steer the long ship south and looting those tribes with weak combat power.

But the problem comes again.

A group of poor guys relied on their thick arms to rob another group of poor people. In a sense, beggars grab steamed buns. This is not a long-term solution at all, and the tribe will not develop.

Lurik is deeply aware that as he sits on the position of leader, the entire tribe’s plundering culture needs to be cut off and replaced by production to accumulate wealth!

The so-called production can be through hard work or peaceful trade.

Look at the geographical location of Roseburg. It is impossible to grow rich, but it is possible to get rich through trade.

There is a wise soul in the seven-year-old body. For the Ross tribe, what they need most is knowledge!

Lurik thought of some strategies, such as organizing manpower to hunt bears and deer, minks, and squirrels on a large scale further north. While tribes obtain a large amount of fur, they can also be trafficked to people far away.

It is completely feasible to make a fortune through trade, but in order to ensure the peace of trade, there must be a well-trained military to defend it.

Therefore, I am training a group of children here, not expecting them to become the main force of plunder in more than ten years, but should exist as the defender of the tribe and the defender of trade.

From the day Otto's voyage began, Rurik recorded the time. He found a wooden board, and he carved a knife on the wooden board before going to sleep every day.

Thirty days have passed since the departure of the fleet. Compared with the previous Sorgon voyage, the voyage of this autumn is extremely long.

After all, according to precedent, they should return to the voyage within 30 days after departure. Now the weather is getting colder and colder and they have not returned. No matter what causes this situation, they will face greater difficulties in returning to the voyage.

The water in the Baltic Sea is too weak. After the last glacial period, melted snow poured into the Baltic Sea and created a huge and complex Baltic Sea. Its formation time is too short, so that the normal salinity of the Atlantic Ocean has not had time to adjust the salinity here. And because a large number of rivers in Scandinavia flow into this almost closed sea, the sea area where Roseburg is located has lighter salinity.

Therefore, the daily fishing activities of the Rus tribe are related to the food of the tribe. As a result, people can always catch a large number of freshwater bass.

The most caught are some freshwater-tolerant herrings, which can basically satisfy the tribal subsistence problem.

Simply eating fish is still too monotonous for humans. The tribe still likes to eat bread, only it is more powerful.

The people of the 　　 tribe still store food for overwintering as usual. They catch a large amount of fish and carry out long-term storage for smoking and roasting.

They even boil sea water in clay pots. Even if the salt content of the local sea water is very low, they still do this. A lot of dead grass and branches are used as fuel, and it takes a lot of firewood to get a little sea salt. Even so, the effort is still worth it.

The days of waiting have slowly turned into torture. Everyone wants to believe that they will be safe and sound. As time goes by, people will inevitably have to worry.

The pressure of the people began to gather, and many people began to seek the help of the priest.

One gloomy morning, Rurik got up sleepily. He pushed open the hide door of the wooden house, and the world was dark. UU reading www. uukanshu. com

"Is it going to snow?"

A cold air forced him, and he subconsciously retracted into the tent, and then boldly poked out his small head, only to see some tribesmen, moving their bodies covered with animal skins in the dim world, unexpectedly slowed down towards the priest's wooden spire. Walk away.

"Mom! There are a lot of people outside, what are they doing?!" Rurik turned his head and asked.

"Have you found it? They want to find a revelation."

"Is it about when Dad will be back?"

Niya smiled slightly, and continued to cut the venison that had been marinated for an unknown amount of time with a knife: "You are so smart. Look no further, it's cold outside. If you are curious, I will take you to see after the meal is over."

"okay."

For meat, Rurik still likes fish, especially herring.

The Ross tribe has a very wild way of eating, that is, after the scales are cleaned with a knife, the fish is removed, and the fish head is finally cut off. After the raw fish is cleaned, it is put directly into the mouth without any cooking.

The way of eating is too pure, and Lurik has never tried it. But the grilled herring is really delicious, and the bubbling and fragrant fish oil can flow as long as you think about it.

In addition to fish, wild deer meat is usually eaten more. It's just that these venison have an indescribable monster. After being cooked and pickled, it tastes good.

Lurik ate a small piece of venison, and drank a small bowl of onions cooked by his mother and some unknown wild vegetables soup. Although this meal fills the stomach, it is full of protein and very low in carbohydrates.

Perhaps a thousand years later, this kind of food is promoted as a diet meal. Now, it is really a compromise of the Rus tribe to nature. If they can, they choose to eat bread every day on the spot, even if it has deteriorated.
