More than a dozen acres of grain, people did not harvest half of it until dusk, the cut ears of grain were stacked on mats woven with straw ropes, and the ears of grain on seven or eight straw mats were added together, Wang Lang estimated that there were seven or eight hundred catties, which dwarfed the yield of four or five hundred catties of high-yield millet per mu in the original world.

More than 100 catties of seeds can only harvest less than 2,000 catties of grain, this yield can be said to be very low, Wang Lang can only hope that after the conditions improve in the future, the output can be increased through intensive farming.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, people dragged straw mats full of ears of grain back to the tribe.

At night, by the light of the fire, with the joint efforts of people, four or five catties of grain ears were quickly threshed and peeled, and the golden grains were put into a clay pot, which made people feel comfortable at a glance.

The women washed rice and cooked porridge, and the men took out the deer that was used for sacrifice during the day, and after skinning it, they took the fattest part of the deer's body, cut it into small pieces with a dagger, rinsed it, and threw it into the clay pot where the porridge was cooked.

People sat around the fire, looking at the bubbling millet porridge, smelling the fragrance in the air, and swallowing violently.

It's been more than three months since they first ate this food, but the taste is etched in their memories.

The advantage of an agrarian civilization is that with enough food, humans can have time to do other things instead of having to be busy catching prey every day.

After enjoying the benefits of agriculture, people quickly accepted this new way of life, and they didn't have to fight wild animals, but they could fill their stomachs by planting and harvesting, so life is called life.

In the next few days, the rest of the millet is harvested, threshing and leaving some of it as seeds, and the rest is left on straw mats to dry, after which the millet can prevent mildew and deterioration, and the sunlight can kill the eggs inside the seeds.

In the tropics, it can be planted all year round, Wang Lang and they burned more than a dozen acres of grassland, and after a light rain, people planted this season's millet.

With enough food, Wang Lang's previous idea of establishing a place to live in the salt lake area resurfaced in his mind.

In the evening, after the people finished eating, Wang Lang told the people his plan.

"As I said before, after the corn is harvested, we will establish a settlement on the other side of the salt field, and now that we have enough food, it is time to do that." Wang Lang said.

People remember this incident, and no one has come out to oppose it at the moment, the grove by the river has been cut down by themselves, and the lack of wood also makes them know the importance of the forest.

"Lang, when are we going to go?" Fire asked.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll take someone on a raft." Wang Lang said.

Huo nodded and asked, "How many people are appropriate to bring there?" ”

Wang Lang thought for a while and said, "You don't need too many people, five warriors and three women are enough." ”

Then the people discussed tomorrow's itinerary and hurriedly rested.

Early the next morning, Wang Lang set out with five men and three women on a raft loaded with grain and some clay pots.

Drifting down the river, much faster than walking, Kong 1 and Kong 2 on the raft had made rafts before, but this time they were still extremely excited, sitting on the raft and staring intently at the fish passing underwater.

On the bank of the river, occasionally there are animals that come to drink water, frightened by these monsters in the water, panicked and scattered, and there are also some fierce beasts standing on the bank to Wang Lang They kept roaring, eager to pounce and kill these guys who broke into their territory, but the water of this river is very deep, and these fierce beasts can only watch Wang Lang and them away in the end.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the deep forest in the distance appeared in front of people, and the lake in front of them glowed a faint red in the sunlight.

Wang Lang did not intend to approach the lake, such a seemingly calm place, where there were often fierce beasts lurking beneath the surface, Wang Lang docked the raft a few hundred meters away from the lake.

After the people moved their things down, they lit a fire on the bank of the river and prepared to spend the night here, and the rest of the things could only be done until dawn.

At night, the jungle in the distance was unusually quiet, and among the dark trees, Wang Lang felt as if there were countless pairs of cold eyes, hiding in the dark and watching people's every move, which made his body tremble subconsciously.

The flocks of birds flying in the forest from time to time, and the faint wails of animals, are all reminding Wang Lang of the danger of this forest.

For the sake of safety, people take turns to eat, there are people with weapons at all times, and they pay attention to every move around them, and in such a dangerous place everywhere, it is necessary to be vigilant, and any negligence will bring the price of death.

While resting, Wang Lang looked at the forest that fell into darkness, and asked Kong Yi on the side, "Kong Yi, have you been into the forest over there before?" ”

Kong Yi shook his head, and since he was not fluent in language, he could only stumble and say, "Danger, over there, there are monsters inside." ”

Although Kong Yi said it was very awkward, Wang Lang still understood, and when he heard that there were monsters in the forest, he couldn't help but wonder what it was that could make the fierce man who stole moa eggs call a monster, which aroused his curiosity.

"Have you seen that monster? What it looks like! Wang Lang asked.

Kong Yi shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it, in the stories circulating on the grassland, this place is said to be a place of death, and those who walk into this forest will be lost in the darkness, and their souls will be eaten by the monsters in the forest, and those who go in will not come out again." ”

Hearing that the monster thing was just some unfounded rumors, it sounded more like a trick used by adults to scare children, Wang Lang lost interest in this matter, and looked back at the dark forest, but no matter how you look at it, it is just a very ordinary primeval jungle, what kind of death place is said in Kong Yi's mouth, these gods and ghosts Wang Lang doesn't believe it, he estimates that it may be some more ferocious beasts, since it is a beast, as long as you are careful, there is nothing to be afraid of.

And with the backwardness of these humans on the steppe, the dark jungle is indeed an extremely terrifying place for them.

After the first night peacefully, the next day people started to get busy.

Men cut down trees with stone axes at the edge of the forest, where the trees were sparse and the view was open, and women with spears stood guard nearby.

Now Wang Lang doesn't plan to go too deep into this jungle, so he can only wait for the settlement to be built, and explore along the edge of the jungle little by little.
