Chapter 265: Who Did It?
The ice and snow melted, and another year came, and the leader of the Blood Tiger came to the outside of the Blood Tiger Tribe with a team of clansmen.
The location chosen for the new home of the Blood Tiger Tribe is quite good, not far from the big river, the terrain is high, and it is difficult to invade the Blood Tiger Tribe when the river swells in summer.
This knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation by the witches of the Blood Tiger Tribe, and if it were a tribe with little knowledge inheritance, they might build a home directly next to the riverbank, and the river would swell in the summer, and it was very likely that their new home would be washed away.
The Blood Tiger Tribe has a very important thing today, the easiest way to open up the land for spring cultivation is to set fire to the wasteland, but the Blood Tiger Hunting did not rush to set fire to the clansmen, but to establish a fire isolation zone outside the Blood Tiger Tribe, and the leader of the Blood Tiger was worried that he would accidentally burn down his home when setting fire to the wasteland.
There are not many trees around the Blood Tiger Tribe, and a lot of firewood is needed to build a new home, burn a fire for cooking, and heat in winter, etc., and the people of the Blood Tiger Tribe start cutting down trees from a near place and extend to the distance, leaving only scattered very thick trees, and it is very laborious to cut them down, so the Blood Tiger Tribe directly skips them.
There weren't many trees, but there were still some rotting leaves and weeds on the ground, and if a fire broke out, they would quickly ignite to form a fire.
The hunting led the clansmen to use stone shovels to clean up the leaves and weeds on the ground, and there was no need to clean up a large area, as long as an area of up to one zhang wide was cleared outside the Blood Tiger Tribe.
It may not be possible to clear the leaves and weeds, but at the command of the chief, some people dug up some dirt from other places and scattered it in this area less than a foot wide, and the fire barrier of the primitive era was completed.
This is the knowledge that the ancestors of the Blood Tiger Tribe have mastered little by little from their daily lives, when they were on the south bank of the Great River, the Blood Tiger Tribe had set fire to the wasteland many times, and over time, some simple fire prevention knowledge can be mastered.
In order to prevent accidents, the Blood Tiger Tribe also filled most of the pottery with water for later use.
The Blood Tiger Tribe is different from the Dragon Tribe, the Dragon Tribe will choose to open up the wasteland every time it is in the rainy season, and the rain is sufficient in the rainy season, in order to prevent the wilderness from causing mountain fires, the time of clearing the wasteland will be selected when it is about to rain on a cloudy day, no matter how much the fire finally expands, it will be extinguished by the rain, and it will not cause unpredictable mountain fires.
Thinking about the mountain fire that broke out on the left bank of the big river in the area where the dragon tribe lived, I don't know if it was man-made or naturally generated, the mountain fire raged on the left bank of the big river, and I don't know how many primitive tribes and beasts were driven away from their homes by the mountain fire.
The Blood Tiger Tribe didn't think so much about it when it opened up the wasteland, even if it caused a mountain fire, it didn't matter, as long as it couldn't burn their own home, not to mention that there were no other primitive tribes in the surrounding area, and the Blood Tiger Tribe wouldn't care.
When everything was ready, the chief and some of the clansmen took burning torches and lit a fire directly outside the fire barrier on the north side of the residence, and in an instant, the fire quickly ignited, and burned in the distance.
The wind was southwesterly, and the wind helped the fire, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, and under the encroachment of the fire, patches of jungle turned to ashes, and the fire continued to spread to the north.
Seeing that the fire continued to spread into the distance, and his own family was not harmed by the fire, the leader and the clansmen were relieved, what should they do, in the spring, the Blood Tiger Tribe will be busy farming, and they will also find time to fight externally, and the external war will be put into farming, and it is expected that it will not be carried out until the third month of spring.
……
Counting some children born in winter, the total population of the Dragon Tribe has exceeded the 10,000 mark, reaching 10,000 and 33 people.
Thanks to the advent of paper, Su Yan specially made a household registration form, taking the family as a unit, the simple information of each member of the dragon tribe will be recorded, and every dead or born clansman will be recorded in time.
However, there is one thing that Su Yan cares about, whether it is the identity card in the hands of the clansmen themselves or the unified household registration form, there is no record of which clan the clansmen belong to, at most, the clan they belong to is determined by the surnames of the clansmen, Su Yan is slowly downplaying the clan, only highlighting the dragon tribe itself.
At the end of the ceremony, Su Yan held a coming-of-age ceremony for one hundred and thirty-seven teenagers and one hundred and thirty-six young girls, and gave them the weapons they wanted one by one, sending them blessings.
At the end of the coming-of-age ceremony, Su Yan announced to all the clansmen something very important for the new adult clansmen, that is, the reform of the clansmen's marriage system, from traditional marriage to free marriage, as long as the unmarried male and female clansmen themselves are willing, and the parents of both parties do not object, they can form a new family.
The blind date is held every autumn as usual, and the unmarried clan can participate, except that all unmarried clansmen need to pay special attention to it, if they do not form a new family within a year after reaching adulthood, it will be arranged by the tribe.
When Su Yan finished reading out the matters on the reform of the marriage system, some of the newly grown clansmen were happy and some were sad, but the change of the marriage system was a good thing for the growing Dragon Tribe.
Most of the people in the northern tribes live a numb life, feelings or anything is not important to them, the most important thing is to eat well, but eating a full meal is a very simple thing for the dragon tribe, the people of the dragon tribe have gotten rid of the numb life, they have their own thoughts, they have their own feelings, change is the beginning after all, Su Yan just accelerated the pace of change.
After the festival is over, this year's plans will begin, such as foreign conquests, building bamboo castles, cultivating fields, building wooden boats, etc., all kinds of plans have filled the dragon tribe for a year.
The Dragon Tribe is still just a tribe with a population of just over 10,000, that is, the population of a county in ancient times, and there is still a long, long road ahead for the Dragon Tribe to continue to move forward, and there is no time to stay and stop.
Su Yan also has to go back and forth between Source City and Akagi, and has been fighting Source City, Su Yan is still a little worried about Akagi's side, and he must take time to go over and take a look.
"What's the situation? It's on fire. ”
On the evening of the sixth day of spring, Su Yan returned to Yuancheng from Chicheng, and from a distance, Su Yan saw that the sky in the south had turned red, and the sunset was in the west but not in the south, and Su Yan thought of the fire for the first time.
"It's strange, how can there be a wildfire, there are obviously no other tribes in the south." Su Yan was very puzzled, the mountain fire was mainly caused by two reasons, one was lightning, the other was man-made, lightning could almost be ruled out, so only people were left.
Who did this to you?
