Chapter 64 Drying the Grass and Hunting in the Woods

Since more than two months ago, the children of the tribe have had one more task - harvesting grass.

It's not just them, but the women in the tribe who don't pick the fruit are doing it.

The harvesting of grass had been going on for a long time, but at that time the harvest was not large, and it was enough to feed the rabbits every day and bring some to the deer near the salt mountain.

But now it's different, since the Son of God gave the order more than two months ago, they have to harvest at least twice as much grass every day as before.

The surplus grass is spread out in the large courtyard of the tribe to dry, and then collected and piled together.

Instead of piling them directly on the ground, they were separated by some thick trunks, which were covered with a layer of branches that the rest of the rabbits and deer did not like to eat, and then the dried hay began to be piled on top.

This will ventilate and prevent the hay underneath from becoming moldy and rotten.

By now, the sun-dried grass has been piled up into three large haystacks.

Of course, Han Cheng had his intention in giving such an order, the purpose was to prepare winter rations for these rabbits raised in the tribe, and of course, to bribe the group of deer in Yanshan.

The grass that naturally withers in the fields in autumn and withers in the field is not the same as the grass that is harvested and dried in the sun.

Sun-dried grass is more popular with herbivores.

In order to avoid braving the cold to collect hay with rabbits in the winter, Han Chengcheng ordered preparations in advance.

The adults in the tribe were not idle, and after picking a certain amount of fruit, under the guidance of Han Cheng, they built a row of earthen stacks inside the wall, where it was close to the wall.

The mound clings to the inside of the fence and is one meter wide, one meter two high, and two meters long.

Every two meters, one is made.

Because there were no piling, and the foundation was only dug in a shallow layer, the work did not take the tribe too long, and was completed in less than a month.

Han Cheng asked to create such a circle of dwarf buttresses, not to add to the snake, such a circle of dwarf buttresses has a great effect.

One is to make the wall stronger, and the other is to greatly enhance the tribe's defense capabilities.

Because of time, the tribe's wall was only built at a height of two meters, which is okay to defend against ordinary beasts, but if there are other tribes or people who are good at climbing, it will be a little powerless.

Therefore, Han Chengcheng made such a layer of battlements equivalent to a low wall on the inside of the wall.

With this one meter and two low buttresses to step on, the people of the tribe can see the situation outside, and when they encounter danger, they can also condescendingly attack with stones, stone spears, throwing guns, and other things to defend the tribe.

Looking at the low stacks that were every two meters inside, as well as the stones and stone spears placed on the low stacks, Han Cheng felt a sense of peace of mind.

In any case, we must do a good job in our own defense.

After all, this is a primitive era, not a time when you would be fine alone on the street at one or two o'clock at night.

After the low wall of this circle was completed, the senior brother took the people of the tribe out to hunt, and now there is still a short period of time before the snow falls.

During this time, it is also possible to hunt some prey back.

Although the tribe doesn't need to worry too much about food now because of the existence of fish cages and ice-breaking fish technology in winter, the senior brother still leads people out hunting.

Their mouths, because of the existence of the Son of God, have been raised to have some mouths, and after eating too many fish, they also think that they can eat half a meal of animal meat.

And this year is different from the past, even if the weather was colder in the past, they couldn't store the meat for too long if they beat it too much, but now with the method of pickling and drying taught by the gods, there is no need to worry about the meat being spoiled.

In the woods, where fallen leaves fell from time to time, the elder brother led ten adult men and ten adult women of the tribe to walk carefully with sharpened sticks, stone spears, and throwing stones. (Heiwa and Tietou are also among them)

They are looking for prey.

Today's luck was not too good, the day was almost halfway over, and they just hit a rabbit.

In the midst of depression, there was a sudden noise in front of them, and before everyone was ready, an adult wild boar rushed out of the forest.

This guy obviously didn't expect that there were so many people here, and he suddenly turned around and ran west halfway.

The elder brother and the rest of the Blue Sparrow tribe were very excited when they saw this, and they immediately chased after them with their weapons.

At this time there was a loud noise from the woods, and then a group of men who were also carrying sticks around the hides rushed out, shouting and chasing in the direction of the boar's escape.

Apparently, they found the wild boar.

The senior brother who was just happy was immediately not happy.

Like the rest of the tribe who wanted to catch up, he stopped his steps and stood in place, looking with envy at the dozen or so people who ran over to chase their prey not far in front of him.

Of the dozen or so people who ran past, the first one looked the strongest, and he was the leader of the tribe.

As soon as he came out of the forest, he found the group of people standing outside the forest, and he showed a vigilant look.

Although two tribes meet on the way to hunt, they generally do not compete with each other for prey, and whoever finds it is whoever, but that is also the general situation.

The weather is getting cold every day, and it is the most important time to store food for the winter, and there are more prey snatching at this time than at other times.

And there are more people in this tribe in front of him than people from his own tribe, and the most important thing is that this wild boar, his own tribe just found it, and did not capture it, in this case, the other party is very likely to compete with his own tribe, if such a thing really happens, then the matter will be a little troublesome.

He chased in the direction of the boar's escape, and from time to time he glanced back at the group not far away.

Seeing that they were just looking at himself and the others this way, and had no intention of chasing, he relieved himself.

He didn't know what to shout in his mouth, and led the tribesmen to speed up in the direction where the wild boar was running.

The elder brother envied the good fortune of these people, and in a glance of Fang Cai, he had roughly recognized this tribe, this tribe had crossed paths with them, but their intersection was limited to the joy party held every other year.

They also survive on this territory, but they are not close to their Blue Sparrow tribe, and they need to walk for more than a day to reach it.

The Blue Sparrow tribe is a friendly tribe, even in the past, the senior brother would not compete for the prey that other tribes found first, but now the tribe does not have to worry about food, and he will not do such a thing.

He stood here with some envy and looked at the wild boars and tribes running away for a while, and then he also set off with the people of the tribe, looking for their own prey.
