046 ama

Time flies, and it's been a month since I came to Nanzhen.

It's hard to determine exactly when it will be now, there are some conflicts between the calendars between the two sides, and Zhang Xiangyang and others used the calendar from Nanzhen's side after some discussion.

July of the fifteenth year.

There are 243 days in a year, and the agricultural warden in charge of farming has compiled a new solar term table based on several years of research and records. According to the rest time of the farming growth in the field, the corresponding festival day and farming day are arranged.

The sowing and cultivation of crops, the rest and rotation of farmland, and the measurement of the fertility of farmland are all the responsibilities of the agricultural manager.

In order to maximize the development of concentrated forces, the opinions of everyone on Tamura are very unanimous. Priority should be given to improving the population and farming techniques, and then to popularize education after the population has increased.

Population and knowledge are the foundation of industry.

It is also for this reason that Dongfang Qiming and others did not wake up the newcomers with industrial talents and left these talents in the future.

If Dongfang Qiming didn't find Zhang Xiangyang and the others, or if there was an accident halfway, then the people who stayed behind would wake up those companions.

Originally, there were twenty-seven people in the town, and the addition of thirteen people including Zhang Xiangyang made Nanzhen a lot richer. In particular, the arrival of two construction experts and geologists relieved those who had always been a little worried about the surrounding terrain.

Zhang Xiangyang's arrival with a steel mane and a gray night also greatly boosted morale.

Now it is forty-one people, Jiang Ruyun gave birth to a baby girl shortly after coming to the town, and she is resting at home for the past few days.

Fang Qinghui's condition was not completely good, because the relationship was delayed for too long on the road, and he needed to recuperate for a long time.

There are not many other things, Bai Xue only came over once in more than ten days, and when he came, he would drop some crusty pieces of meat for the three eaglets to exercise, and every time he left quickly, without any nostalgia.

Gray Night also occasionally goes out to grab something to eat, such as the large-billed seagull near the beach.

At night, there are large groups of bats nearby, which feed on coconut fruits from nearby islands and tree fruits from the mountains, and are close to the size of adult domestic dogs, which is a danger to everyone.

Fruit is an essential nutrient for farmers, and bats can easily carry viruses.

Every year when the fruit is ripe, the people of Nanzhen organize the people of Tamura to go and remove the bats.

In addition to bats, there is also a large scavenging poisonous lizard in the nearby mountains, which is active in mountains and volcanoes, and will attack lone humans.

The corpse that Steelmane killed and gave to the people here before was the Scavenger Dragon.

Then there are some voles and large-billed finches and other crop-stealing thieves, as well as sharks and some wild camels in the sea.

Sharks and the like will attack humans in small boats, and they will attack the ama when they are in the water.

However, there is a group of dolphins living in this area, and the dolphins will help humans expel sharks, as long as there are dolphins, they can enter the water with confidence, and occasionally the dolphins will expel schools of fish for humans to catch.

The dolphin's beak is capable of causing damage to sharks at high speeds, and it is much faster in the water than sharks.

With their nimble body and unique sonic disturbances, combined with always moving in groups, highly intelligent dolphins can easily outperform sharks and schools of sharks.

Wild camels pollute the water sources that humans have fenced down and destroy bridges and buildings built by humans, so they will go out every once in a while to hunt some for meat stockpiling to prevent the camel herd from expanding.

There are 50 camels in the camel farm, and even if a few die, there is no problem, and it is not suitable for large-scale camel breeding, and it is easy to spread diseases if there are too many of them.

After Zhang Xiangyang rode a steel mane and the rest of the people to find the escaped camels last time, Muye, who was in charge of the camel farm, sent a camel to Zhang Xiangyang, but Zhang Xiangyang didn't ask for it and continued to keep it in the camel farm.

Don't worry about the danger of sudden arrival, and don't worry about tomorrow's meal.

Zhang Bin got married, and under Zhang Han's instigation and ghost idea, Zhang Bin and Meng Xinyan got together inexplicably anyway, and got married inexplicably.

Although Zhang Xiangyang somewhat understood Zhang Han's thoughts and knew that this was his brother's concern for his younger brother, he still couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhang Bin at a loss and Meng Xinyan getting married together.

He didn't have the idea of getting married, and he always felt very far away about getting married.

The rest of the people did not persecute Zhang Xiangyang, there are more people here who are unwilling to get married, and more who are unwilling to have children.

Slowly, everyone also became harmonious, and the team of Changzhu Mountain and the people in Nanzhen slowly became familiar with each other and became friends.

Time flies.

Zhang Xiangyang lay lazily on the wooden plank, looking up at the swaying sky.

He was now in a small boat seven meters long and one meter six or seven wide, and there were two other people besides him on the planks of this fishing boat that smelled of fish and wood.

Ling Yun stood at the stern of the boat, rowing the boat again and again.

She wore shorts that exposed her knees and legs, a blue-black apron around the front, a clean white shirt on top of her body, her long hair was pulled back, and her bare soles were the same healthy color as her legs.

The other is a young and beautiful girl wearing the same but different color costume and wearing a hat.

Ling Ling sat on the side of the boat, under his feet and beside him were the big fat fish that had just been caught, the largest one was more than one meter two or three long, each of which was enough for five or six people to eat for a month, and here was half a boat's harvest!

In addition to the fish on the board, some fish were stuffed into the water tank inside the boat.

It's just that relying on the three of them definitely doesn't have such a big catch, and the main force of this fishing is still the ama.

Ama are women from the East Island, ranging from their teens to their fifties and sixties, who mainly collect underwater sea urchins, abalone, squid and other aquatic products.

Compared with ordinary people, ama live a longer life, and the secret lies in the strong body and large lung capacity that they have cultivated since childhood.

Men on the eastern part of the island are not suitable for diving, and they mainly make iron and charcoal near the crater on the island and make pottery and other items.

The people of Nanzhen placed these people in different positions according to the proportion, each performing their own duties, and would also exchange high-quality salt and medicine.

The marriage between the two sides is in charge of the people of Nanzhen.

The humans on both sides used to marry and have children on their own, but it was easy to have some diseases and problems, and after the people from Nanzhen came here and made arrangements, the people in the two places slowly became normal and very obedient to these people.

At the beginning, the ancestors of these people left their last words, so that these people should remain in awe and obedience when they meet people and warriors who can use strange spells.

After passing it down from generation to generation, it is the main reason why the people of Nanzhen can easily control the two places.

Carry out a clear matching system for marriage, take care of the mother, improve the survival rate of the baby and protect the life of the mother, and at the same time solve some of the surrounding problems and provide a good environment.

In addition to the favors, punishments are given to those who break the rules of marriage, as well as those who actively approach and approach the South Town area.

These are just Zhang Xiangyang's understanding, Dongfang Qiming, who specializes in management, seems to be doing more to keep the people of Nanzhen in order to maintain their current status, and let everyone have no worries about food and clothing.

Both Tamura and Higashijima have greatly increased their populations, and their longevity and health have been enhanced.

Zhang Xiangyang actually doesn't like it here, everything is good here, but he just doesn't like it.

There was very little to do for Zhang Xiangyang, and groups of ama cooperated with each other, using fishing nets to wrap the big fish that had been driven over and float to the surface, and poured the fat fish into the plank.

Ling Ling once again kicked a big fish into the fish cabin, and then shouted unhappily to Zhang Xiangyang: "Brother Xiangyang, don't sleep, it's time for us to go home, you didn't help much today!" ”

Zhang Xiangyang closed his eyes and said calmly and helplessly: "I said that I hate going into the water, you have to let me come." ”

Zhang Xiangyang can swim, but he is very afraid of water, and if it is not necessary, he is very resistant to going into the water.

And there are all ama wearing only crotch cloths around here, Zhang Xiangyang doesn't want to go into the water, or even want to get up, he just wants to lie down and mess around.

Today's task is to catch some fish and seafood, and appropriately replenish some seafood for the people there in Tamura.

Autumn is just around the corner, and the festival between Higashijima and Tamura is about to be held, so these days are just around the corner to collect supplies.

In the eyes of the people of Higashijima and Tamura, the union assigned by the people of Minamijin is happy and has a sense of sacredness.

In fact, it is not considered a marriage, and after a while after the festival, the two parties will be separated, and the child will be left to the woman's care, and they will not meet again until the next festival.

Ling Yun looked around, and after feeling the same, she said to a sea lady who had just put the shell on the board, "It's okay, you guys go back." ”

This ama was a very old woman, forty or fifty years old, with dark and strong skin.

"Great!"

Most of the woman's body sank underwater, holding the board of the boat with one hand to prevent herself from drifting away, and the other hand picked up the whistle hanging around her neck and blew it vigorously.

Soon, the ama in the neighborhood gathered together.

The woman can't count, but she remembers what everyone looks like.

Within five minutes, ama came up from under the water and put pieces of seafood caught from the bottom of the sea into the plank.

After making sure that everyone had come up, the women swam collectively in the direction of the East Island.

The East Island is more than 600 meters away, and there are no sandy beaches on the island, just reefs that can drown with one foot.

The women on the island are stronger, the food is obtained from the sea by the ama, and the fruit trees on the island are not enough to eat, and there are no large animals, and what can be eaten has long been eaten.

The people of Nanzhen will go to the island regularly to check and treat these island residents, and make suggestions and improvements to the situation on the island.

After seeing the ama successfully landing, Ling Yun turned the bow of the boat and headed in the direction of Nanzhen.

The East Island with an active volcano is a strategic location for South Town, and in order to prevent marine disasters and some accidents, it is necessary to establish communication between South Town and East Island, and the most suitable one is the Owl Messenger at the moment!

Lingling saw that Zhang Xiangyang was still lying there sleeping, so he slowly approached Zhang Xiangyang with his foot, gently tapped the side of Zhang Xiangyang's face with his thumb, and then quickly withdrew his foot.

It's just that Zhang Xiangyang's reaction was very slow and he didn't pay attention to this kind of teasing.

Ling Ling looked at Zhang Xiangyang angrily, and quickly said, "Brother Xiangyang, shall we go swimming at the beach?" ”

Zhang Xiangyang sat up slowly, looked at the island that was getting farther and farther away, and shook his head.

"No, let's go home quickly, Zhang Bin and they are still waiting for us by the sea."

Lingling saw that Zhang Xiangyang was so afraid of water, so he said helplessly: "I'm really convinced of you, I will build a swimming pool at the back of my house for you in the future, okay?" ”

Zhang Xiangyang looked at Lingling and said, "Okay, but let's talk about it later." ”

Ling Yun looked at the two of them and smiled, "Obviously, Lingling was selected as a diver, Xiangyang, you have always stopped Lingling from entering the water, what does this make her do?" ”

Zhang Xiangyang himself was afraid of water, and he also stopped others from going into the water.

Not only Lingling, but even Ling Yun was stopped from going into the water.

Zhang Xiangyang has a severe deep-sea phobia, not only afraid of deep places, high places, but also dark places.

In short, there are a lot of things to be afraid of, and his body and instincts are inclined to live in comfort.

"There are a lot of things that Lingling will do, and what we can do, Lingling can do as long as he learns, and there is no need to take risks."

Zhang Xiangyang looked at the sea on the side and sighed helplessly, "When the industrial age comes, naturally you don't need to go into the water yourself." ”

Ling Yun can also swim, and she has liked swimming since she was a child, and she doesn't understand why Zhang Xiangyang is so afraid of water.

Not only Zhang Xiangyang, but also Steel Mane and Gray Night are more afraid of water.

Forget about the gray night, it's a bird after all.

Steelmane swims so well, but he is still very afraid of water, and he doesn't swim at all until he is forced to do so.

Although she didn't understand, she didn't ask too much, Ling Yun slowly rowed the boat and slowly leaned towards the shore.

After approaching the shore, several people from the shore came over to help carry it.

Zhang Han said: "Xiangyang, you wait to see the steel mane, the worry-free doctor said that the steel mane may have entered puberty for a while, let you try to take care of it as much as possible, or find a way to find a sow for it, otherwise the steel mane is in estrus, and it is very likely that he will leave us to find the sow, or directly find the other two sows." ”

He is a doctor like the pharmacist streamer, but in addition to surgery and proctology, this teacher is also a veterinarian and has delivered a lot of camels.

Zhang Xiangyang frowned, and didn't care about moving the fish, he jumped off the board and said to Zhang Han: "Are there wild boars around here?" ”

Zhang Han shook his head, "It is said that there used to be, but it was driven away, and it is not as big as a steel mane, it is several times smaller, which is the size of an ordinary domestic pig." ”

It's only been a few days since I was in trouble again.

The problem of steel mane is not a trivial matter, and when it comes to estrus, steel mane will definitely cause big trouble.

Zhang Han smiled, showed a cheap smile and said: "Don't be too anxious, you are very good at worry-free, just give the steel mane a few strokes, and the steel mane will be weak and unable to walk." ”

Zhang Xiangyang showed a shocked expression, and then said angrily: "Don't talk about this kind of obscene joke, okay?" Zhang Han shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said seriously: "It's not a joke, the problem of the steel mane is the problem of instinct, the doctor of the magic hand released his instinct and deceived its body, but this also has a disadvantage, that is, the possibility of producing offspring is reduced." ”

"Doctor Miaoshou said that I want you to take Steelmane to the mountains to find a sow, and it is better to bring that sow back, Steelmane's offspring are very useful to us, and you don't want Steelmane to lose offspring, right?"
