On a new day, the sun did not shine, and only rolling clouds remained in the sky, indicating that another rain was coming.

It is already late autumn, and it has rained three times in a row, not big but continuous, making people feel soaked all over, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

But that doesn't stop people from going out in search of food. Every day, they pick a direction and go to collect roots and stems of various plants and hunt all kinds of animals, including fish in the river, according to the arrangement of the tribal leader.

Thanks to the fishing nets woven by the Ding tribe, the tribe now catches a lot of fish, but they also have to prepare more food. They also use fishing nets to hunt small animals such as rabbits and muntjacs, and bows and arrows to hunt large herbivores. Hunters with bows and arrows cautiously approached a herd of sika deer in the middle of the clearing, while the others were pointing outward, as if they were on guard against something dangerous.

In the Ugin tribe, Xiong is leading his warriors to train with weights in a clearing on the outskirts of the Ugin tribe, and exercising every day has become a constant instinct in their bones, which is a compulsory course for them every day. On the other side, the leader of the Ugin tribe, Chijin, led a team of sixty warriors selected by himself, and trained according to the pattern of Xiong and their training. With Tinch's consent, Bear helped train the Ugin Warriors to improve their tribe's defenses.

The remnants of the Houtu tribe hidden in the shadows have disappeared, and no news has come out. However, the people of the Ugin tribe did not dare to relax, whether it was hunting, training, or ordinary life, the entire tribe always remained vigilant to avoid the situation of tribe members being secretly attacked.

As soon as the bear came to the Ugin tribe, he counted and sealed all the stored metals of their tribe, and minted them in a unified manner after the Ding tribe came.

Subsequently, Xiong instructed the Ugin tribe to build a defensive wall. Using a large number of bronze shovels, pickaxes, axes, saws and other tools exchanged from the Ding tribe, the tribesmen were divided into three groups, one group of gathering and hunting, and increasing the food reserve for winter while ensuring that all the people had food to eat; the second batch excavated the wall foundation and transported the stones according to the previous plan; The third group went to cut down a large number of trees and cut them into timber of equal length as the main body of the wall. The construction of the wooden wall continued every day, and the construction speed of the wooden fence became faster and faster, and the large area outside the cave where the tribe lived was already surrounded, and the place where the tribe lived became safe all at once.

After the exercise was over, Xiong and the others hurriedly solved the breakfast problem, and then they were divided into six teams, and Xiong and his ten warriors trained the warriors of the Ugin tribe individually. The training content includes push-ups, pull-ups, obstacle courses, archery, marksmanship, etc., all of which are allowed by Ding Qi, and he is not afraid that the Ugin tribe will all learn to adversely affect him.

Without competitors, sooner or later you will be defeated by yourself. Being in the land of the four wars and boiling frogs in warm water, Ding Qike is very clear.

Accompanied by Chijin, Xiong would help the people of the Ugin tribe by instructing them on how to make dried fish, drying plant tubers, inspecting the quality of their tribe's wooden houses, and even helping them build five or six stone houses. The houses were built to store food, except for those who were important members of the tribe.

With the help of Xiong and others, the Ugin tribe is changing every day, and even under the leadership of Chijin, they began to pay attention to hygiene, urinating and defecating in the toilet that was built. Using the small hunting knives or scissors and bronze needles that were exchanged, the animal skin clothes were sewn, and although they twisted and turned, they eventually became a piece of clothing to protect them from the cold, which made the tribesmen excited.

All this, under the observation of the leaders of the Ugin tribe, Chijin and the doctor witch Qingjin, is quietly changing. Qingjin affirmed Chijin's approach, pointing out that he should fully cooperate with the bears of the Ding tribe, provide them with the best treatment, and try to get more information about the Ding tribe from the bears. They

The two even discussed a relatively taboo topic, that is, whether they could join the Ding tribe.

In the slanting wind and drizzle, a group of twenty primitive people were holding bows, arrows, and wooden spears, slowly touching a cave.

It was a gray wolf habitat they found, there were twelve gray wolves in total, and two big wolves, one male and one female, led the newly grown wolf cubs to live here temporarily. When winter comes, they will lead the wolves to join up with other wolves to hunt together and survive the winter when food is scarce.

The wolves do not hunt until after evening, when they play and rest in the open space at the mouth of the cave. The sound of ticking rain and swaying trees made them ignore the footsteps of a group of people.

Soon, the men came very close to the wolves, drew their bows and arrows, and raised their wooden spears lightly, waiting for the leader to give the order to attack.

The group had been around for some time, but they were concentrating on eliminating potential threats for the safety of their tribe and the women they had taken captive. They had already eliminated two bears, five leopards, two dozen jackals, more than a dozen badgers, and a saber-toothed tiger, and these wolves were their sixth target. By removing these wolves, they can not only clear the danger, but also obtain a lot of wolf meat, wolf skin, and even improve the strength of the entire team.

The person at the head is Shang Tu, the leader of the Houtu tribe who has been deprived of the titles of the five major tribes. He took only twenty men out to hunt, while the other warriors and women stayed in the valley of their choice and tended to all kinds of food and hides.

Although the glory of the Houtu tribe could not be restored in a short period of time, Shang Tu had already decided that he wanted to lay a solid foundation for the tribe so that the tribe could quickly recover. In addition to these immediate dangers, the coming winter will be the first challenge for their tribe that has been reduced to the bottom.

When they reached the valley, which was named the Valley of Hope, they immediately used the bronze axes and saws in their hands to build wooden huts and wooden walls to keep them safe. All of them were modeled after the houses and walls of the Ding tribe in the Exchange Place, and some of the simple houses were built in the style of the hunter's hut. Because the kind of room composed of two "∠" shapes is simple and practical, and the warmth effect is particularly good.

Shang Tu innovated the hunter's hut by raising the ground of the hut with stones, and then laying a thick layer of dry earth on top, then a thick layer of hay on top, and finally a layer of animal skins. And under the effect of the campfire in the middle of the hut, the whole hunter's hut is dry and bright, and there is no fear of the current rainy weather.

Sometimes Shang Tu thinks that all this is brought by the Ding tribe, but the current situation of the Houtu tribe is also directly or indirectly related to the Ding tribe, and I really don't know whether to thank the Ding tribe or hate the Ding tribe. This feeling makes Shang Tu very uncomfortable, since it is uncomfortable, then don't think about it, just kill the wolves in front of you, and use their blood to release the depression and desire in your heart!

It's just that Shang Tu never thought that if it weren't for his desires, the Houtu tribe wouldn't have become what it is now. People, especially primitive humans, most of the time only think about themselves, or for their own tribe. As long as you or your tribe can survive, that's the best.

The survival and continuation of the tribe is an idea that is deeply ingrained in their blood.

Hidden behind the tree, Shang Tu opened his bow and fired a wooden arrow carrying a stone arrow at the head wolf lying there, and at the same time launched a signal to attack. Arrows and spears were thrown at the wolves, bringing panic, howls and death.

The whole process lasted less than ten minutes, and more than a dozen wolves were killed in the hole. Even if wolves burrowed into the depths of the caves, warriors rushed in and stabbed them to death with wooden spears in their hands.

The crowd waved their weapons and roared excitedly in celebration of the easy victory. he

They are full of wildness and blood, and after the celebration, they will hold the wounds on the wolves' bodies, suck the blood from their bodies, replenish their energy, and then set the wolf's corpses aside and stand there quietly, waiting for their leader to give orders.

"Pack up your prey and go back to the tribe!"

Everyone acted quickly, without noise or whispering, and soon divided the prey, washed the blood in the stream, and returned to the tribe.

Back at the tribe, they entered through a gate in the middle of the wall, which was more than three meters high, and was welcomed by the other warriors and women.

The whole tribe is small in size and is located in a large pine forest. The fence was kept five or six meters away from the other trees to prevent other humans from jumping into the fence through the trees. Inside the walls were trees twenty or thirty centimeters thick, but below them were various wooden huts and hunters' huts, which were enough for thirty-seven warriors and sixty young women. There was also a vacant lot of nearly one acre on the periphery as a venue for their activities, and some wooden sheds were erected in the field, and all kinds of meat were piled up underneath.

After a tiring day's work, people enter their own huts or hunters' huts in the dark, put their arms around two or one woman, and begin the man-making movement. This is an order given by Shang Tu to make his own woman pregnant.

Shang Tu assigned one or two women to each warrior, no matter whether they were tall or short, as long as they were suitable for birth and raising.

After a vigorous man-making movement, the whole tribe fell silent. There was no purring, and anyone who could snore would have been thrown out of the tribe to feed the wolves. Besides, in the era of lack of food, there will be no fat people who are particularly prone to snoring.

In one of the largest wooden houses in the middle of the tribe, Shang Tu reclined on an animal skin pillow full of hay after being busy, and looked at the campfire in a daze amid the sound of the autumn rain.

More than sixty women have long recognized the reality and integrated themselves into the Houtu tribe. Women who lacked the strength to protect themselves had to rely on men and tribes to survive in primitive times. As long as you can survive, why not just let yourself have children? What's more, there is a lot of food every day, so you can eat yourself.

Shang Tu understood that the strength of the Ding tribe was built on the greatness of those various tools and their leaders. Shang Tu hoped that one day, his tribe would be able to use the various weapons and tools produced by the Ding tribe to eliminate the Ding tribe. And the means to achieve this is to plunder, to plunder, to plunder without stopping.

The first bandits of the primitive period, officially launched!

Regardless of what the other four major tribes, the southern Shannan tribe in the south, and the Dongfang Bei tribe were doing and doing, none of this had anything to do with Ding Qi. At this time, he was holding the little cutie in a warm animal skin sleeping bag, listening to the sound of autumn rain outside the wooden house, drowsy.

And what he was recalling in his mind was the scene where the old master in the village made corn wine.

A large iron pot rests on a well-built stove. Beneath the iron pot is a roaring flame, while above it are two bamboo steamers stacked on top of each other. A pointed round lid at the top covered the entire steamer tightly, and the steam with a slight aroma of wine accidentally floated out of a certain gap, which made Ding Qi a little intoxicated.

But most of the steam flows from a bamboo tube at the top of the pointed lid into another thick barrel, and finally from a bamboo tube on one side flows a clear liquid, full of rich corn-flavored liquor.

What Tinch had on his mind was every detail he saw at the time, including the shape and material of every tool used to help clean the distilled corn liquor after making it. These details kept playing back in Ding Qi's mind over and over again like a movie, until they became a clear picture in Ding Qi's memory.

Sake brewing!
