There are two seasons that always feel slow, one is summer and the other is winter.

In the summer, the weather is hot and humid, often rainy and rainy, and most of the rainy days can only stay in the house and cannot go out, although they can also do some work such as repairing weapons, polishing stone tools, weaving straw ropes, etc., but they will also be irritable after doing it for a long time, and for the male people, they want to go out hunting rather than being stuffy in the house.

In winter, the weather is cold, the snow covers the whole world, people can only hide in the house as close to the stove as possible, only when the weather is good, go outside the house to activities, want to go out hunting is impossible, food is scarce in winter, some carnivorous animals are hungry, they will even take the initiative to attack the hunting party.

On the other hand, spring and autumn, the two seasons when the temperature is just right, always feel like a fast time in people's eyes, because in these two seasons, people are always busy with various things, and the busy time is the fastest time to pass.

In the blink of an eye, it's late summer, and some of the fruits in the jungle that can be stored for a long time have ripened, and it's time for the dragon tribe to stock up on winter food.

It has been two months since the deer tribe became the deer clan of the dragon tribe, and in the past two months, the people of the deer clan have been working hard and learning the dragon language, under the leadership of the deer witch and the yuan, the people of the deer clan have accepted the "one god" system, knowing that the deer god they believe in is the incarnation of the dragon god, and now the deer clan believes in the deer god and also believes in the dragon god.

It won't be long before the Deer Clan will be completely integrated into the Dragon Tribe, anyway, now on the surface, the Deer Clan has been integrated into the Dragon Tribe, but it still needs internal changes, and people's hearts are the most important.

In the past two months, almost every half a month, the dragon tribe will organize a salt mining activity, the number of participants in each activity is more than eighty people, half of men and half of women, the first time is Su Yan personally led the team, the edge of the road, the residence of the deer tribe is used as a temporary station, and the salt mining team brings three to four days of food.

The salt source discovered by the Deer Tribe is a salt mine, and Su Yan can't see how big the scale is, anyway, the Dragon Tribe may not be able to digest this salt mine in a few decades.

The salt collected from the salt mining activities twice a month is enough for the daily consumption of the dragon tribe and can still store a large part of it, and the daily consumption here refers to the salt used by people to eat normally and usually pickle some food, and the stored salt is mainly used for winter.

In the past two months, Su Yan has not stopped exploring the outside world, wanting to find metal veins and more crops, so Su Yan's range of activities has expanded to a place two kilometers away from the Dragon Tribe's residence.

The farther away from the Dragon Tribe's residence, the more likely it is to encounter danger, some beasts know that the Dragon Tribe's residence is more dangerous, except in winter, they will hardly come, but when Su Yan is farther away from the Dragon Tribe's residence, the easier it is to encounter beasts, it is good to encounter lone beasts, but it will be dangerous if they encounter group beasts such as wolves.

For this reason, the scale of the exploration team is also expanding little by little, they are Su Yan's guards, and they also have to obey Su Yan's arrangement to collect herbs.

However, it is a pity that Su Yan has not found any crops or metal veins in the past two months, and the only thing to be happy about is the discovery of more kinds of herbs.

Thanks to the increasing variety of herbs collected, more than two-thirds of the sick people in the Dragon Tribe have been effectively treated by Su Yan, and the rest of the people either fell ill too quickly, or Su Yan had no way to treat them for the time being, so they could only rely on themselves to fight the disease.

Adults are okay, they have a stronger resistance, children, especially infants, their resistance is relatively weak, and if they suddenly fall ill, they can easily die because of this.

At present, the dragon tribe has snake witch, tiger witch and their disciples Mu and Xin follow Su Yan to learn medical skills, and they also engrave medical skills on the stone slab as the knowledge inheritance of the dragon tribe, Su Yan is very speechless about this, if all the medical skills that Su Yan knows are recorded on the stone slab, I am afraid that the cave of the dragon tribe will not be able to hold so many stone slabs.

In addition, the deer witch and the deer witch disciples will also learn medical skills in the future, but now the deer witch has not finished learning the dragon language and dragon characters, and the deer witch disciples have just been selected and are not yet adults.

Those incurable diseases are not mentioned for the time being, Su Yan is ready to hand over some of the treatment methods commonly encountered by primitive people to a few witches and their disciples, and after they finish learning, they will teach more people to learn medical skills, and now the scale of the dragon tribe is not large, and even it is enough for Su Yan to treat the disease himself.

No metal veins were found, and no new crops were found, and the discovered "one and a half" crops hemp and pepper became the focus of Su Yan's attention, and he would go to those two areas almost every few days to observe the growth of hemp and pepper.

Hemp and peppercorns are growing well, and their fruits can be picked in autumn, and the stems and skins of hemp can be used to weave linen, spin thread, make ropes, weave fishing nets, make paper, etc., so the whole plant should be taken away.

Hemp and peppercorns are about to be harvested, and Su Yan thinks of planting them artificially next spring, and tools are a big problem.

No metal veins were found, no metal was refined, and there were no tools made of metal, so they could only use stone tools as farming tools.

Just when Su Yan was about to make stone tools, Su Yan suddenly thought of a problem: it seems that cultivating the land does not necessarily require tools such as pickaxes and shovels, you can directly poke an eye in the ground with a wooden stick, and then put the seeds in it.

The location of the cultivated land has been found, just the land outside the dragon tribe's residence, the black soil looks very fertile, if you need fertilizer, you can directly use human and livestock manure.

After figuring out the matter of cultivating the land and planting crops, Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, some things seemed troublesome, but after thinking about it, there was a very simple solution.

Although there is no need for tools for the time being, it will definitely be needed in the future, and tools such as pickaxes and shovels can loosen the soil, dig soil, and dig pits, which can make it easier for the people of the dragon tribe to work together.

The tools made of stone tools will definitely not be very useful, and I still look forward to finding metal veins and smelting metal as soon as possible.

Busy, autumn is coming, the people of the dragon tribe are even busier, in addition to the daily work, collecting fruits has become the most important labor at present, the fruit is not as strong as meat, but the fruit has nutrients that meat does not contain, fruits and wild vegetables are essential food for the people of the dragon tribe.
