[331] Winter hunting

The water of Baize Lake flowing in the ditch is getting colder and colder, and if you don't boil it a little, you will suddenly feel a chill in your stomach, and in this case, the Huangqiu tribe has officially begun to prepare for winter food - hunting in late autumn.

The scale of this hunt should be the largest in a year, with as many as 40 people dispatched, including Xiong Sickle leading the team, Shao Hao and Xing as deputy leaders, and then 17 would-be warriors and 20 ordinary clansmen with spear launchers.

In order to allow these 20 clansmen to hunt more prey, Shen Nong also lent two devil frogs to load animal skin bags containing bone spears for them.

In addition, Shen Nong also equipped these people with rattan armor made of rattan bark and gauntlets and leg armor made of bones, although they may not be very useful, but they can also increase some defense.

Shen Nong did not choose to participate in this hunt, firstly, in the more than half a year since he came to the Huangqiu tribe, his freshness to go out hunting has long passed, and he is no longer the ignorant young man who did not let him go out at the beginning, and he himself will secretly run out to meet the world.

Now Shen Nong prefers to stay in the tribe, like a king sitting in his own territory.

Now the scale of the Huangqiu tribe is completely different from the scale of the Huangqiu tribe when Shen Nong first arrived, and even the number of people has increased by about 6 times, I remember that the number of the Huangqiu tribe was more than 80 people at that time, and now including the eel slaves, the total number of Huangqiu is as many as 470 people, although most of them are not Huangqiu's own people.

If you want to develop rapidly, you must need to recruit a large number of scattered tribesmen, otherwise you can rely on a few tribes to marry each other and then have children, at this rate, if you want to have a tribe of thousands of people, you will definitely not be able to develop this goal without hundreds of years to practice.

And a large number of expansions, which means that there will be more and more non-native people, and finally there will be more than the real Huangqiu people, but it doesn't matter, the original tribe is also composed of all kinds of people who don't know each other, and then they have multiplied from generation to generation to become a tribe person, what's the point of caring about whether it's really their own people, as long as everyone's heart is towards the Huangqiu tribe.

As a modern person, Shen Nong's tolerance is very large, after all, he has long been familiar with it, in which modern country does not live a few yellows, blacks, and whites, and even the color of his skin is acceptable, and what is unacceptable about a group of scattered tribesmen.

After Xiong Yao left the Huangqiu tribe with the hunting team, Shen Nong inspected the Huangqiu tribe with the followers of Shaking Tiannu.

Nowadays, the Huangqiu tribe includes the ancestral land, and has a total of three districts, the second area is inhabited by farming + tribesmen, the third area is inhabited by captive beasts + tribesmen, and the fourth area is still under construction, and the future use is fruit forest + flax planting + rattan + tribesmen living.

The position of the 4th zone is to the right of the 3rd zone, so that it forms an inverted L shape with the 1st zone, the second zone, and the 3rd zone.

The second zone has a borehole as a ready-made water source, while the third and fourth zones require the first zone to lay a gut to divert water from the ditch to these two zones.

This kind of intestinal tube taken out of the belly of the giant insect is indeed easy to use, and it will not be a little inconvenient to transport water at all, if there is no such intestinal tube, Shen Nong really doesn't know what material to use as a substitute for the intestinal tube.

"It seems that these potatoes will not be harvested until the cold season arrives. Looking at the cultivated land in the second district, Shen Nong couldn't help but say.

"Wu, can those potatoes from our ancestral land be harvested?" asked Shaker.

"If you calculate the time, it should be possible. Shen Nong nodded.

The potatoes in the ancestral land of the Huangqiu tribe have been planted in the dry season, and after half a dry season and a whole autumn, there is no problem in harvesting them before the cold season comes.

Walking out of the second district, the two went around in a big circle, passed through the war yard and the wolf pen, and then came to the third district, this third district Shen Nong is relatively rare on weekdays, and it is all managed by Xiong Yao.

The interior of the third district is similar to that of the second district, there is not much difference, the people of the Huangqiu tribe who live here gave him a warm welcome as soon as they saw Shen Nong's arrival, and Shen Nong rarely came.

There are many buildings in the third district where wild animals are kept, such as cattle pens and sheep pens, which is the biggest feature of the third district. Of course, because of the breeding of wild animals, the air in the entire Third District is filled with the smell of dung and the smell of animals, and people who are not used to this smell really can't stay here for too long.

"Ahem, oh my God......" Shen Nong couldn't help but cover his nose, the smell was really terrifying.

"Don't you all sweep the dung on weekdays, how can it be so stinky!" Shen Nong asked the people gathered around.

"Sweep the dung, what dung, sweep what. The crowd asked, puzzled.

Looking at their appearance, Shen Nong shook his head helplessly, it seems that these people don't have the awareness of raising wild beasts and cleaning up the dung at all.

There was no way, Shen Nong had to explain this matter to them once, and told everyone to remember to sweep the dung in the future, otherwise Shen Nong was really afraid that this smell would spread from the third district to the Huangqiu ancestral land with the help of the wind in the future.

"Moo!" "Whoa!" "Huh." ”

In the third area, what cows, sheep, and deer are constantly barking, quite like a farm.

This third area will later become a food source for the Yellow Hill tribe along with the second area, thus reducing the amount of prey that hunting parties can get when they go out hunting.

If the scale of the second and third districts is expanded in the future, the Huangqiu tribe will be able to truly achieve the goal of self-sufficiency in food, and the Huangqiu tribe will be more or less a medium-strength tribe at that time.

......

This hunt to prepare for the winter, Xiong Yao did not plan to hunt in the usual hunting team, because the beasts in this place have been exhausted in the accumulation of hunting by the Huangqiu tribe, and even if there are, there are only a handful of them left, which is not enough for the entire tribe of the Huangqiu tribe to eat.

So Xiong Sickle planned to lead the team to a place that the hunting team of the Yellow Hill tribe had rarely been to before.

West of Montenegro.

According to the third team's exploration of this place, Xiong Sickle knew that this was a place rich in prey resources, but at the same time relatively dangerous, looking at the 20 clansmen with spear launchers, and a secret weapon that Shen Nong handed over to him on the eve of the team's departure, which was said to be able to instantly kill pure-blooded beasts, Xiong Sickle still resolutely decided to go hunting to the west of Black Mountain.

Give it a go.
