Thinking of this, Budocaribas observed more carefully. He noticed the villagers were a mix of Skodisqi people, Segestica people, and old clan members of the Nix tribe. He even saw a peculiar scene: A Skodisqi man and a Segestica man farming side by side. The Skodisqi, who was guiding the plow, shouted at the Segestica man leading the oxen to slow down, and surprisingly, the Segestica man complied. After a while, the Skodisqi man shouted ahead, "Turn now!" and the Segestica man responded, "Got it!"...
Their expressions were wooden, voices cold and sharp, and they avoided eye contact. The entire interaction seemed awkward, yet they managed to plow a whole field in coordination.
Of course, the villagers' ability to cooperate without major disputes could not have been achieved without the efforts of a middle-aged man.
