Chapter 123: One Year (Medium)

Sister Xiaohua and sister Xiaoyue can't be treated equally, the age difference between the two is two years, and their physical development is much worse, although Su Yan teaches Xiaohua Xiaoyue martial arts and internal strength, but Xiaoyue has to practice less every day, and Xiaohua's practice time can be the same as Su Yan.

Every day when Xiaohua Xiaoyue practices martial arts, Su Yan will be next to her, beginners are easy to hurt themselves when practicing martial arts, as Xiaohua Xiaoyue rests martial arts and internal strength, the strength of the two will continue to increase, maybe five or ten years later, the three strongest in the dragon tribe will be contracted by Su Yan, Xiaohua, and Xiaoyue.

The weather is getting warmer, and the spring plowing season is coming, Su Yan and his escort team are planting hemp outside the Dragon Tribe's residence.

Now there are a lot of hemp seeds in Su Yan's hands as seeds, and when the hemp seeds were harvested last year, the hemp seeds in good condition were selected as seeds, and the remaining hemp seeds in poor condition were fried in a heated pottery bowl by Su Yan as snacks, and the taste was average, similar to sunflower seeds.

More than half of the open space outside the dragon tribe residence is covered with pepper trees, and the remaining area that can be planted with hemp is about less than 20 acres of land, and there are many seeds in the hand, this time you can put a few more seeds in a hole, and with the efforts of everyone, the remaining vacant land will be planted with hemp in less than three days, hoping to have a good harvest this year.

In the middle of the second month of spring, Su Yan set off with the exploration team with three experimental fishing nets, and the exploration team went to the area near the river three times in more than a month, but still did not find a suitable location to build a new home.

This time, Su Yan went to Dahe, the first purpose was to try out fishing nets, and the second purpose was to determine the location of his new home.

Advancing from the second road opened by the exploration team, about four and a half days, the exploration team came to the river, and the exploration team was scattered around Su Yan, who stood at the front, holding a closed fishing net in his hand, and tentatively threw it into the river.

Su Yan has almost become proficient in the technique of hand-throwing fishing nets, mainly to test the fishing efficiency of fishing nets.

The fishing net that was thrown into the big river quickly opened, and then fell towards the water, under the weight of a circle of small stones, the fishing net fell faster, until it sank completely into the river, only a thick hemp rope connected to the fishing net was caught by Su Yan in his hand, Su Yan was able to pull the hemp rope, it seems that the fishing net caught the fish, there is more than one, but it will not catch too much, if there are too many fish caught, Su Yan can feel the pull transmitted from the hemp rope.

Without the help of others, Su Yan pulled the fishing net to the river bank by himself, and the rest of the exploration team watched this scene in amazement.

There were only five fish in the net, three small fish weighing less than half a catty, one large fish weighing more than three catties, and one fish weighing about a catty.

The first time she tried to use a fishing net to catch fish, Su Yan felt that there were two disadvantages of this experimental fishing net with a diameter of only three meters, the first was that the stones tied to the fishing net were lighter, which caused the net to fall a little slower, and the fishing net was too small, these two shortcomings made the harvest of the fishing net relatively small, but the efficiency was also a little higher than that of a fish cage, but this was not enough.

Then Su Yan used two other fishing nets to catch fish, the bigger the nets, the more harvest, and the other three fishing nets all had the disadvantage of being a little lighter in weight by the stones tied to the ends.

Over the course of the next day, the exploration team left a dozen people to guard Su Yan, and the rest of the people searched for a suitable location for a new home in the area around the riverbank, while Su Yan improved the three fishing nets, the only thing that could be improved now was to tie heavier stones to the fishing nets, of course, the small stones tied to them should not be too heavy.

Spend a day to improve the fishing net slightly, the fishing efficiency of the fishing net has indeed improved a lot, Su Yan determined that the specifications of the fishing net woven by the dragon tribe in the future should be the minimum diameter of five meters, and the maximum diameter can reach ten meters, but the larger the diameter of the fishing net, it will be very difficult to use it flexibly.

It took a day to improve the fishing nets, and the next day Su Yan also followed the exploration team everywhere to find a suitable place as a new home, but in the search time of the day, Su Yan did not find a more suitable place.

Perhaps a fire in the jungle to carve out living and planting areas is also an option.

On the third day, the exploration team returned, this time the exploration team had to take the road near the river, and the most important thing was that Su Yan wanted to observe the tribe that the exploration team encountered before discovering the river for the first time.

This tribe is Su Yan's alternative, as long as the strength of this tribe is not too strong, this tribe will become the target of the dragon tribe's conquest, conquering this tribe will not only make the population of the dragon tribe continue to increase, but also allow the dragon tribe to obtain a ready-made place to live, and then expand this place of residence or open up a new place of residence nearby.

For more than half a day, the exploration team came to the periphery of the tribe's residence, and was once again discovered by its personnel in charge of vigilance, and not long after, the tribe ran out of about 100 people to confront the exploration team, still mainly adult women, close to adult children and adult men accounted for only a small part.

Su Yan counted the composition of the other team, and calculated the total population and strength of this tribe based on this, and the population composition of most tribes was about the same.

There are about 100 people on the opposite side, of which eighty percent are adult women, and more than one-third of adult women have slightly bulging bellies, and it seems that they are pregnant, and the adult women who may appear now are the vast majority of adult women in this tribe, so it is estimated that the total population of this tribe should be about 250 people, and adult males should be about 40 people.

According to Su Yan's speculation, the strength of the Dragon Tribe is more than double that of this tribe, as long as the entire Dragon Tribe is dispatched, even if a battle breaks out, as long as the tactics are arranged, this tribe can be conquered at the cost of ten deaths at most, and there is a one-third chance of forcing the other party to surrender.

Su Yan didn't observe for a long time, worried that the other party was too nervous and the battle would break out, after a brief observation, Su Yan asked Zhi to talk to the leader on the other side, telling the other party that we had no malicious intentions just passing by here and leaving immediately.

After a brief conversation between the two sides, the exploration team took a detour and left, and the unknown tribe watched the exploration team for a while and saw that the exploration team did not come back and left, leaving only a few people on guard.

As they walked, Su Yan and Zhi discussed the tribe they had just encountered, and Su Yan told Zhi his analysis of the total population and population composition of this tribe, and asked Zhi if the strength of the dragon tribe could win and conquer this tribe.

"We can conquer, but our tribe will also have a large number of casualties." Zhi said without hesitation.

Zhi's answer was expected by Su Yan, the primitive people's application of tactics was still very rudimentary, if Su Yan personally commanded the battle, and made tactical arrangements in advance, and prepared more throwing weapons such as short spears and stones, the dragon tribe's losses to conquer this tribe would be greatly reduced.
