Chapter Eighty-Four: Final Preparations Before the Rainy Season

After the Red Grass Festival.

Tu Shan and his party embarked on the road back to the tribe.

When I came to Red Grass Valley, there were only about 20 people in the team, but when I returned to the tribe, there were more than 50 people. The more than 20 people who came out were all the girls found by the Tushan boys at the Red Grass Festival.

A couple laughed while hurrying on the road, flirting and scolding from time to time, and the laughter of men and women spilled all the way.

Only Ye Xi was alone, hurrying in front of him expressionlessly, and he had to endure the harassment of them from time to time, saying that he was young and didn't know the beauty of having a partner, which was really a waste of the girls' hearts.

But although these girls went to the Tushan tribe with them, they would not necessarily stay in Tushan.

The reason why I followed him back was to go to the field to investigate the Tushan tribe for the last time.

They need to make sure that the tribe is strong enough to keep them safe. Make sure that the tribe has enough food so that they don't go hungry.

Especially with the rainy season just around the corner, food is especially important.

What if the rainy season is so long that you starve to death when you get married?

Therefore, no matter how much the girls like the young man, they must examine the strength of his tribe and then weigh it.

But fortunately, everyone was satisfied with the results this time, and the food in Tushan's cellar was full, and all kinds of furs were hoarded a lot, which was enough to cope with the rainy season.

The Tushan boys were overjoyed to see that the girl was satisfied, and began to prepare food for their respective partners' tribes.

This is another rule - the tribe that marries a girl must pay a certain amount of food to the tribe that married the girl, especially a part of the food for their father Eminem.

Otherwise, some tribes would rather leave the girls in the tribe to die of old age than let them go to the Red Grass Festival and become members of other tribes.

After all, women are also a labor force and can contribute to the tribe.

And after the girls' tribe receives the food, they will officially be Tushan people in the future.

There are more than two dozen more women in the tribe, and it is expected that there will be more than twenty more dolls next year. The good news came one after the other, and the chief's heart was happy, and his usually solemn face softened.

Tushan will have more and more population, and its strength will become stronger and stronger.

There is still more than half a month before the official arrival of the rainy season, and the matter of finding a partner is over, and then the whole tribe will work together to prepare for the rainy season.

There was not much time left for the tribesmen, and all preparations had to be intensified.

The house on the top of the hill is only half built now, and the work of collecting stones, grinding stones, and transporting stones has to be intensified.

Firewood is not stockpiled enough right now.

During the rainy season, the earth turns into an ocean, and even the trees on the mountains are drenched in the rain, leaving no place to find firewood. Firewood is also necessary, everyone needs to use it to cook food, and it will be very cold in the later part of the rainy season, and a lot of firewood is also needed for heating or something.

There is also the nitrate of fur and the processing of food, which must be intensified.

The closer you get to the rainy season, the fewer sunny days there will be, and firewood, fur, and jerky all need to be sunburned.

Fortunately, more than 20 new girls were added to the tribe, and they were also used to working in the original tribe, and their hands and feet were very nimble, which greatly eased Tushan's labor force.

Ye Xi has not been idle these days.

There are also many sweet potatoes planted in the terraced fields on the mountainside, Ye Xi dug out the ripe sweet potatoes, and Ye Xi, who was still small, did not move, so that it continued to stay in the soil.

The ewe and the two lambs that came back needed to be resettled, and Ye Xi built a simple stone house on the top of the mountain for them as a shelter from the wind and rain in the rainy season, and also took the time to dry a lot of hay for the mother goats, and hoarded half of the house.

If the ewe is in good health, it should be able to survive the rainy season safely, but there is no guarantee for the two lambs.

When Ye Xi went to the mountain to carry hay for the last time, he found that the small flowers that had been rooted in the mountain were gone.

Although he was a little disappointed, this incident was also expected.

The florets grew bigger and bigger, and finally the flower plate resembled a mill, and the amount of food was exaggerated.

Now that food is precious in the tribe, he has not fed the little flower for many days, and every time he passes by it, he drools and turns the flower head to look at him, and chirps loudly, asking him for something to eat.

But now that everyone is preparing for food for the rainy season, it is impossible for him to consume too much food to raise plants, so he will ignore it.

In the end, I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it and left.

I don't know if it can find food if it can eat so much. Ye Xi sighed and continued to get busy.

Now that the rainy season has not yet arrived, Ye Xi is still hunting in the jungle from time to time with the hunting team.

As the rainy season approaches, herbivores and carnivores begin to migrate in droves, leaving the area in droves, making hunting more and more difficult.

But each warrior hunted as best he could, and despite the scars on his body that were constantly being added, he still did not give up any time he could use.

When the first team of the hunting team came back, the second team immediately picked it up, and without a single gap, they carried the prey back to the tribe one by one, and hoarded food like crazy.

Twenty days later.

The house on the top of the hill has been built, and all the preparations for the rainy season are almost ready.

It was raining, the ground was muddy, and water was beginning to flood the cave.

It's been raining for three days in a row.

Today is the day when Ye Xi and his hunting team enter the jungle.

In the rain, everyone's hair and skin were drenched.

Jiaojiao's huge black python body was drenched with oil, as if it had been poured with a layer of oil.

Ye Xi kicked Jiaojiao's body: "You can eat as much as you want when you go into the jungle this time, this is your last full meal before the end of the rainy season." ”

Jiaojiao hissed in response.

Its hunting ability is now higher than that of the totem warriors, it is highly concealed, and under the sudden attack, the terrifying python body is entangled and twisted, and there are almost no medium-sized prey that can escape.

Stepping into the jungle again.

Thundered.

A muffled thunder rolled through the clouds, and the gloomy sky was pierced by white light.

The rain was pouring down, the wind was roaring, mixed with the heavy rain whipped the jungle like whips, the leaves swayed, and countless leaves were swept off by the wind and blown to the ground.

Ye Xi's bare feet stepped on the muddy ground.

The ground now turned into a rushing stream, and countless blown leaves, broken twigs, mixed with rainwater, flowed down to the lower ground.

The wind blew as hard as if it were going to knock a man down.

The people of the hunting party braved the wind and rain, like a destination.

There were countless pairs of dark green eyes watching them through the cracks in the trees on either side.

Thundered.

Another flash of lightning struck.

In a flash of white light, those dark green eyes suddenly disappeared.

At this time, the jungle became very terrifying, and almost all the weak creatures migrated away, and the creatures left behind were not good, and they were the most ferocious.

For example, the green eyes in the cracks of the trees just now, they are poisonous king bats. They live by sucking blood, and usually there are many creatures in the jungle, so they don't bother with hunting parties, but now that there is less food, they are also ready to move.

The poison king bats are full of poison, and if they resist hard, it is not impossible for the hunting party to be wiped out.

The hunting party cautiously continued on its way.

Along the way, all the creatures that normally live in the jungle are gone.

Beautiful and aggressive birds, snow-white round long-haired rabbits, dexterous and lively monkeys.

It's all gone.

All they were left with was an empty, stormy jungle.
