[171] Who are they???
In terms of the density of the forest, the forest conditions in the west of the Huangqiu tribe are far more dense than in the other three directions, and the terrain is more rugged and bumpy.
At this time, there were twelve people walking in this forest, and judging from the direction of their advance, the target was the Huangqiu tribe.
"It's almost there. The man leading the way at the front laughed.
"We've been out for a long time, and we don't know what's going on in the tribe. ”
"Now that the drought has come, it is estimated that the tribe will start to run out of water again, and the chiefs will go to Bai Zebian to get water, and many people will die. ”
This group of people began to talk to each other as they spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more lively.
"Don't talk, hurry up, I'm already very thirsty, and I hope there will be some to drink in the tribe now." ”
"Me too, Ah Chi. ”
"That's it, all I drank all the blood of beasts all the way back, and I didn't quench my thirst at all. ”
"Don't talk about it, the sooner you go back to the tribe, the sooner you will have water to drink, and everyone will go faster. ”
A group of people nodded silently, and hurried towards the direction where the Huangqiu tribe was.
......
"Wu, it's all counted. Xuan Jia reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, raised his head and said to Shen Nong.
After some inventory by himself and others, the resources brought back from the eel tribe were finally sorted out by them, a pile of fish, meat, fruits and vegetables, a pile of animal skins and tendons, a pile of two different types of stones, a pile of medicinal materials and some sundries, plus the resources stored by the Huangqiu tribe before, a total of stacked together also makes people look full, especially full.
"Well, but these fish and beast meat can't be stored for long, and the weather is so hot now, it's easy to stink, you will remember to call some people to come over and deal with it, and try not to let this food go to waste." Shen Nong reminded.
"Yes. ”
The resources and spoils harvested from the Eel Tribe this time can be called a lot of money for the Huangqiu Tribe, and the total amount is even more than three times the original amount of the Huangqiu Tribe.
But what satisfies Shen Nong the most is that from today onwards, the people of the Huangqiu tribe can use stone weapons as their own weapons, and since then, bone weapons have been completely eliminated, which can really be regarded as a big step for the Huangqiu civilization.
After the Huangqiu tribe recovered from the vitality of this battle, Shen Nong would ask the people of the Huangqiu tribe to take the ten iron pickaxes to the stone mountain to quarry, and then transport all the stones back to the Huangqiu tribe through the board truck.
As long as there is sufficient stone reserves, Shen Nong can carry out more of the plans he wants to do.
Walking out of the big cave, the remaining Huangqiu tribesmen had already acted according to the orders Shen Nong had ordered before, because there were more than fifty captives captured from the Mud Eel tribe this time, and there was no place to hold the captives in the Huangqiu tribe now, so Shen Nong could only let the tribesmen tie those captives to the trunk with black rattan ropes first, so as to control their movements and prevent them from having a chance to escape.
But this is not a long-term solution after all, because there are more than fifty people, and it will definitely be difficult to manage if they are tied to a tree all the time, so Shen Nong planned to let the four of them make a few cells for themselves to come out, so as to hold these eel captives, and even the captives of other tribes in the future.
"You go slower. Xiong Yao's woman and child were supporting Xiong Yao's body, planning to help him to his own wooden house to rest, not only Xiong Yao, but also many quasi-warriors who fell into side effects because of the brute force blessing were also helped back by their families, including Chi, Zhu Chun was even more nervous and careful than Chi's father and mother, and kept reminding him while holding Chi, looking like he was afraid that Chi would walk and fall.
"Why are you only starting to move people now?" Shen Nong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he and the four of them had been counting the loot in the big cave for a while, and it stands to reason that Xiong Yao and these people should have been helped back to their wooden house to rest.
"You see, you listened to your orders first, and tied those captives to the trees before helping those people. "I was still sharp-eyed, and I immediately saw the captives of the Mud Eel tribe tied to the trees near the meadow, and the scene looked quite spectacular from a distance.
"Oh. Shen Nong nodded suddenly in understanding, and then took the four people to take the tools and walked towards the north wall that had been completed.
At present, the Huangqiu tribe is dead and wounded in personnel, and the rest are all old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children, and it is obviously impossible to continue the wall project in a short period of time.
And time can't be wasted, when you can't do something for some reason, you have to do something else to make up for the loss of not being able to do that thing, so that it won't lead to a waste of time.
Building a few sturdy and durable cells is what Shen Nong needs to do urgently.
This time, the Huangqiu tribe lost a lot of people after a battle with the eel tribe, and these tribesmen were not only the combat strength of the Huangqiu tribe, but also the labor force of the Huangqiu tribe.
Without them, the speed of construction of the ravine would be greatly reduced, which would lead to the delay in the implementation of the wall plan, which was obviously something that Shen Nong did not want to see, you must know that Luo Man had reminded him before leaving that the insect tide could come at any time, and before the wall was really built, the Huangqiu tribe would never be safe.
In such an empty and flat ancestral land as the Huangqiu tribe, Shen Nong and the others would definitely not be able to stop a group of insects as many as the tide of the sea, even if there was a gathering transmitter.
So what Shen Nong has to do now is to quickly find a way to bring a new batch of labor to the Huangqiu tribe, and those eel captives are Shen Nong's only choice at present, as long as they are successfully tamed, the Huangqiu tribe will be able to get a group of completely free labor slaves.
Before that, the construction of several cells for the slaves was a top priority.
"Wu, are you talking about a cell built like a wooden house?" asked Pan, holding a stone hoe.
"Of course not, you dig me a hole here first, it should be rectangular and deep, probably up to your waist. Shen Nong said, pointing to an area clinging to a wooden wall.
"How big do you want to dig?" asked Kura.
"It is eight paces long and eight paces wide, so that one cell can be divided between two slaves. Shen Nong said.
The four of them nodded, and began to dig in the location planned by Shen Nong with tools such as stone hoes and bone shovels.
