The hot and rainy summer is blown away by the first autumn winds, and autumn comes, the leaves are yellow, and the fruits are ripe.

In the summer, there are also a small number of ripe fruits, and there are some unripe fruits that can be eaten, sweet and sour, which are the children's favorite, and the adults deliberately pick back some unripe green fruits as snacks for children.

Autumn is the busiest season for the people of the Snake Tribe, and those who have just finished building the wall will not have time to rest for a few days before committing to the next task.

Gathering fruit is the most important task of the people of the Serpent tribe at the moment.

The hunting team went out to hunt every other day when the brick wall was built to once every two days, and the fishing team only caught food to meet the food needs of the snake tribe every morning.

The rest of the time of the hunting and fishing teams is spent picking the fruit, which can be left for a long time at the current temperature without going bad.

There are a large number of fruit trees growing in the jungle, and many fruit trees can be found in the woods near the habitat of the snake tribe, but due to natural growth, these fruit trees grow many and small, and nearly half of the fruits are not very tasty, and the taste is worse than that of grilled fish, which is barely used to satisfy hunger.

The adults also take animal skins with them when they set out, and they have to wrap the fruits in them so that they can bring back more fruits at a time.

There are fruits that Su Yan knows, such as all kinds of apples, ploughs, peaches, etc., and there are also fruits that Su Yan does not know.

The existence of the snake tribe is no longer exquisite, and the experience of many years has made the people of the snake tribe know what fruits are delicious and what fruits can be left for a longer time.

Apples can be placed at room temperature for a long time, and there are several fruits that Su Yan doesn't know can also be placed for a long time without spoiling, especially a kind of fruit with tender white and delicious flesh in the shell can be placed for more than half a year, at that time, the flesh inside becomes relatively dry due to water loss, and it can be eaten, and the taste is not bad.

Due to the relatively small space of the cave, the fruits picked by the snake tribe can only be piled up outside, first spread a layer of hay on the ground, then pile up the undamaged fruits, and finally cover them with hay.

It also rains in autumn, so when the rain stops, the grass is removed to dry, and then the hay is covered again.

Time passed, and for more than seventy days after that, the fruit piled up outside the cave increased almost every day.

According to Su Yan's estimates, the fruit piled up outside the cave was enough for everyone to eat for more than two months.

The task of picking and collecting fruits continued until late autumn, when the temperature dropped rapidly as winter approached, and the people of the snake tribe had already replaced their leaves with animal skins, and most of the caves were covered with a thick layer of hay.

Now it's time to fish.

In the hearts of the tribesmen, roast animal meat is better than fruit, and fruit is better than relying on fish, but they also know that eating roast animal meat is better than roasting fish to resist hunger, and eating roast fish meat is better than eating fruit to fight hunger, and at the same time, they can't eat fruit without eating meat all the time, so the whole person will be dizzy and weak. (There is no salt in the fruit)

Therefore, the snake tribe also has to reserve some meat, hunting is more depending on luck, fishing is better than hunting, and at the end of autumn, the snake tribe will completely give up hunting and all adult labor will go to the small river to fish, until the temperature drops below zero and the river freezes will not stop.

It is also important to note that the fruits collected by the snake tribe can be stacked outside the cave, and the fish caught must be put into the cave.

In the cold winter, there are many carnivores that do not hibernate, and there is less food in winter, if the snake tribe piles the fish outside, it will attract a large number of wild beasts because of the smell of the fish, which will put the snake tribe into a dangerous situation.

So in the cold winter, the tribesmen hid in the cave, and the remaining open space was also occupied by fish, and the cave was always filled with a smoky fishy smell, and the tribesmen had to endure it.

This year's snake tribe is very different, the adults by the small river hold a rope in their hands, their eyes are firmly fixed on the scene in the water, once a swimming fish crashes into the fish cage, the adults will quickly pull the rope, and the adults who have mastered the skills of fishing with the fish cage can catch a fish almost every two times.

When the fish were sent back to the tribe, the leader was still thinking about putting all the fish in the cave as before, but Su Yan reached out to stop the leader and pointed to the clearing surrounded by brick walls.

The leader followed Su Yan's finger and looked at the brick wall, and the next moment he showed a look of sudden realization.

With the walls in place, the snake tribe no longer needs to put fish into the cave, and with the strength of the brick wall, unless it is a very large beast (elephant), the rest will be difficult to knock down or knock down the brick wall into the clearing.

The only way to do this is to climb to a large tree not far from the fence and jump directly from the tree to the clearing.

It's just that most carnivores don't climb trees, and most of the carnivores that can climb trees don't live in groups, so it's a good choice to pile fish outside, if there are beasts that can climb trees and jump into the walls while sleeping on a tree, the number will basically not exceed three, and the snake tribe has more than fifty adults, and it doesn't take much cost to kill the invading beasts, and you can also add food to the tribesmen.

Soon a large number of fish were piled up in the open space outside the cave, and the number of thousands of fish per day increased rapidly, and with fifty adult laborers, it was easy to catch twenty fish a day with a fish cage, even if it was doubled.

As the days passed, the cold wind howled, the temperature dropped wildly again, and the river froze, and the snake tribe gave up the last task of accumulating food and honestly hid in the cave, outside which was piled up with a large amount of fruits, fish, and indispensable firewood and grass.

According to experience, no fire can be lit in a nearly closed cave, but fortunately, the closed cave blocks the cold winter wind, and stays in the haystack wrapped in animal skins, and the tribesmen do not have to be afraid of the cold.

In the dark, the tribesmen slept or sat in a daze, and children played with each other.

In addition, there is another activity for the adults that makes Su Yan unable to look directly, so he can only plug his ears and close his eyes, thinking about other things or sleeping as much as possible.

The leader of this activity is the leader, who is working hard to increase the population of the snake tribe, and they do not feel embarrassed by the presence of other people in the slightest, but several clansmen are competing to see who can finish faster.

When it's time to eat, the entrance of the cave is opened, and the clansmen live and barbecue food in the cave closer to the mouth of the cave.
