The cave was almost tidy up, and only the finishing work remained, so Yeyang led a few warriors to cut down a lot of wood in the mountains and forests near the tribe, and cut out wooden sticks that were six feet high and arm thick.

He sharpened the two ends of the stick, and inserted it into the ground at least two feet deep, and made a fence with tough dry vines, and expanded the tribe's territory.

The fence follows the stream and surrounds the cave, with a radius of three miles, including the bamboo forest at the rear, the earthen kiln at the foot of the mountain, the large trees in front of the cave and the nearby bushes, as well as a large area of relatively flat mountain land outside the cave.

The area where the vines are entwined alone is nearly two feet wide, specially mixed with weeds and thin mud, and the bottom of the wooden stick is buried in the ground, and the defense of the fence is not low, which greatly ensures the safety of the clansmen.

Facts have proved that the work of preparing for a rainy day in the night sun has indeed had some effect, and since then, there have been significantly fewer evil beasts patrolling outside the cave at night, and the clansmen even found a leopard when they got up one morning.

The leopard hung on a high fence, its belly pierced by a sharp wooden stick, and the blood stained the vines red, and there were traces of desperate struggle, but unfortunately it was never able to break free, but it dried up its blood and died for a long time.

As for the storage of food, it is mainly in the meat diet, vegetarian diet is no problem, after the fruit is completely dried, it will be stored for a long time, and it will not spoil, the key is fish and animal meat.

The richer the fishing and hunting harvest of the tribe of the tribe, the more reserve food is left every day, and in the absence of salt, even if it is smoked and baked, it will be stored for half a month at most, and there will be signs of spoilage.

At first, I didn't notice it at all, but when I noticed the smell, there was already a large area of decay, just like the cold season of the first year, and I didn't find a problem at first, and then I smelled the smell and checked it.

As a result, a lot of dried meat and dried fish have deteriorated, and the tribesmen have been in a hurry for a few days, and they have eaten the meat in a hurry, and they can only rely on dried fruits to fill their stomachs for most of the remaining half a month.

Thanks to Yeyang, he suddenly remembered that he could also fish in winter, so he took everyone to the stream, moved stones, smashed open the frozen ice, and the dense big fish under the water scrambled to jump out of the water to breathe and throw themselves into the net.

Among them, there are even a few big wild fish, which were knocked to death by the swarming tribesmen, and became the food of the tribe, although the fish meat is not as high as the flesh of the beast, at least it can provide energy, which greatly improves the state of the tribe.

The best way to store fish and animal meat is to marinate it with salt, marinate it into bacon and salted fish, which not only improves the taste, but also prolongs the storage time, not to mention up to several years, but also a few months.

It's a pity that after searching for a long time, I didn't find a suitable salt soil near the tribe, but fortunately, during the birth season, the people who led the team to the depths of the jungle to participate in the big tribe trade brought back good news.

The big tribe in the jungle likes the tribe's pottery very much, and is willing to spend a lot of money to trade with them.

In the past, so much salt, at least without a hundred catties of food, simply made the tribe ecstatic, the leader personally led the team, with ten clay pots, to the big tribe, twenty days later, exchanged for ten catties of rock salt.

The leader was very happy, and rewarded the blood of the Yeyang beast, and the tribe did not have many pottery, so he could only barely maintain it, and he asked Yeyang to make more, but Yeyang dragged it out, and only burned it once in a few months.

A small amount of pottery can bring benefits to the tribe, while a large amount of pottery will bring disaster, and it will inevitably cause people to covet and cause trouble for the tribe.

The salt exchanged every year meets the needs of the tribe, and there is not much left, just enough to marinate dried fish and animal meat, and when the tribe develops for a few more years and the salt is not enough, then consider expanding the output.

In the past five years, the tribe has developed steadily, the lives of the tribe have improved, and education has also been improved.

In terms of arithmetic, it has also been taught to a thousand, and ordinary people can barely add or subtract within a hundred, but those of the same generation and younger generations are already learning hundreds of additions and subtractions, and their learning ability is stronger than that of adults.

The fence was opened on all sides, each guarded by an adult, and the range of activities of the tribe was expanded, as long as they did not leave the fence, they could run anywhere, and Yeyang often took his peers to clear the bushes around the tribe.

On the one hand, it is to expand the territory and lay the foundation and conditions for future construction, on the other hand, it is to take the opportunity to exercise and train young people, and finally, he wants to see if he can find some medicinal herbs that can be used.

The herbs were not found, but two spices, Huoxiang and Perilla, were found, and when the broth was cooked, a few young shoots were put on it, and then sprinkled with a little salt, the taste was unmatched, and it was so delicious that the tongue was about to melt.

Later, he also found the herb he wanted, mugwort to his liking, in the tribe where the medical conditions have fallen, the warriors and beasts fight, can quickly stop the bleeding, mugwort, just come in handy.

After finding a fertile soil, Yeyang carefully transplanted the seedlings of Huoxiang, perilla and mugwort, and carefully planted and cultivated.

During this period, what made Yeyang the happiest was that the collection team one afternoon, picked up a few baskets of quirk, the shape of the quircis is very similar to pine nuts, but the size is larger than pine nuts, which can treat various parasitic diseases.

Let Yeyang, who was thinking of a way to repel insects for the clansmen, was happy for a long time, and let people peel off a few baskets of quimbles, with mugwort leaves, boiled into several large pots of medicine, and distributed them to the tribesmen, so that they could pour them.

That night, the tribe's thatched pit was full of wriggling parasites, and Yeyang asked the collection team to continue picking quince tomorrow, and after several days of continuous irrigation, they finally dried their stomachs and intestines, and the faces of the tribesmen looked much better.

Every time the gathering team brought back new plants, Yeyang would quietly leave seeds and plant them in the fertile fields that had been reclaimed as the tribe's medicine garden and preparation food, and in five years, it had been ten zhang square.

In the cold season of the fifth year, Yeyang put on a felt hat, put on a new thatched cover for the private medicine garden, returned to the cave, patted the snowflakes on his body and head, took off the snow-soaked animal skins on his feet, and put them on the edge of the fire.

I also sat on the stone, took my hands out of the animal skin cover, put it in front of the flame to bake and warm, gloves and hats, it was made, but unfortunately the boots were almost meaningless, and I did not meet the right sole material.

Wool boots made of animal skins are too easy to break, so they are worn in winter, hunting and gathering, they are useless, hot and stuffy, and they can wear out the skin in a few days, but it is better to be barefoot and cool.

Yeyang took down the hanging clay pot from the bonfire, poured a cup of hot boiling water with a clay bowl himself, did not drink it, held it in his hand to warm up, looked at the gradually crowded cave, and considered that it was time to build a house.

In the corner of the cave, there were exactly twenty people scattered around, dressed like the tribesmen, but slightly different in appearance, most of them were women, and a few were a few men who were not very old.

His gaze stayed for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, these twenty people were slaves from the big tribes deep in the jungle in the last year's birth season, and in some tribes, slaves were to prepare food.

But in their tribe, the slaves live well, and they don't deliberately beat and scold, but they usually work more, and the food they get is only enough to satisfy their stomachs, and they behave very well, and they don't cheat and cheat.

There are often large-scale battles between the tribes on the mainland, and there are not a few who are exterminated, and after the tribal war is lost, the surviving captives are slaves, and they are not at ease with their own use, so they take them out to make a trade.

Twenty slaves, that is, the tribe used five clay pots, in exchange for the big tribe, they were originally defeated, the original tribe was destroyed, there was no place to go, and after coming to the cave, they were divided in peace.

What's more, the leader also promised them that as long as they are willing to contribute to the tribe, they can also become members of the tribe, and these people are more diligent in their work, even if the tribesmen are resting, they have not let go of their work.

Five years can erase a lot of things, and after five years of living in the tribe, the memory of fire is becoming clearer, and the past of Yeyang is gradually forgotten, only the goal is still remembered very clearly.

Yeyang looked at it for a moment, drank the warm boiling water, put down the gradually cold pottery bowl, and was about to shout at the clansmen to dig the foundation of the house for the coming year, his current status is only under a few flesh and blood warriors.

But before he could stand up, he saw the burly body of the leader, squeezed in from the hole, carrying a big cat in his hand, weighing seventy or eighty pounds, with blood in his abdomen frozen into ice, which should have died from the barbs of the fence.

The leader threw the big cat on the ground, and immediately a member of the clan stepped forward, and began to disembowel his belly familiarly, and he walked to the tool area, put down the stone spear in his hand, untied the heavy leather armor on his body, and walked towards the fire pit.

In addition to the original stone knives, stone axes, and stone spears, there are more than 20 leather armor and rattan shields, as well as labor tools such as bone rakes and wooden shovels.

People who have nothing to do in the cold season are busy making tools, and there are a lot of them, and the raw materials and food in the storage area are also more colorful, and the originally idle work area is already a little crowded at this time.

Taking off the holster on his hands and feet, the leader clapped his hands, walked to the fire pit, patted Yeyang's shoulder, sat down opposite him, and said with a smile: "You are very good!

At the beginning, he almost slapped the palm of the shelf, but at this time he didn't move, Yeyang was stunned when he heard his words, and then he reacted, he was already an adult and could leave the tribe to go out......
