Chapter 166: Building a New Home (2)

After the production of Xingzao Lake was completed, Ye Xi began to plan the farmland.

With the crops, the pickers no longer have to risk their lives to go into the jungle to pick the fruit. And it can provide a stable source of fruits and vegetables for the tribe, and will not be lost due to natural disasters or other things.

Ye Xi circled a large area on the edge of the valley and set a fire to burn all the grass on the land. Then call all the male ** subordinates of the tribe over and let them use a newly made hoe to hoe and loosen the soil.

There is no metal here, so the head of the hoe is made of stone, but the edges are sharpened, and it is no different from an iron hoe.

The soil here is black and very fertile, so it is loosened by the hoe little by little, and mixed with the grass ash, it looks very soft.

Ye Xi actually never planted the land himself, but watched his grandfather plant, and his grandfather told him that there are only eight steps to plant the land, namely: ploughing, raking, ditching, leveling, opening a small ditch, applying fertilizer, sowing, and pulling a ditch.

Now that the land has been cultivated, there are only seven steps left.

Ye Xi taught them one by one. In the future, these slaves will be in charge of this field, but in order to prevent them from being lazy, a Tushan man will be arranged to supervise them.

Sweet potato seedlings are planted one by one in the ground.

After the last sweet potato seedlings were planted, the warriors who went outside to dig the ginkgo trees just came back.

Each of the more than a dozen warriors carried a small ginkgo tree on their shoulders - the roots of the big trees were too deep and it was difficult to carry them, so they all dug up small ginkgo trees.

Cangpan put down the white fruit tree he was carrying on his shoulders and teased: "The warriors of this tribe are carrying prey on their shoulders, but the warriors of our tribe are carrying trees on their shoulders." ”

Ye Xi took the sapling of the ginkgo tree, and after finding that the roots of the sapling were not damaged, he put his heart at ease, glanced at the warehouse and said, "Okay, in the future, this ginkgo tree will be planted well, so you can eat the first ginkgo seed." ”

Cang Pan touched his head, and the warriors all laughed.

After a while, another wave of fighters also returned. They brought back even more, pepper, lettuce, purple fruit trees that they had found in the wild, and even the big toon tree on Xiaotu Mountain.

Everyone worked together to plant all these fruits and vegetables.

After all of this, it was getting dark.

Ye Xi set up a wooden shelf next to the farmland again.

On the way to the migration, he found an edible fruit.

This fruit is red, similar in shape and taste to the big mango in the previous life, but it grows on the vine, and the vine has large clusters of flowers similar to wisteria rose, which is fragrant, and when Ye Xi dug it, it was attacked by many bees.

Ye Xi planted the red mango vine, and very intimately wrapped the vine around the wooden frame one by one.

Looking at the shelves wrapped with vines, Ye Xi felt a sense of satisfaction and expectation in his heart.

Don't look at them now, he believes that in less than half a year, these vines will climb all over the shelves.

If it grows vigorously, he can also build a shed out of wood and let the red mango vines climb all over the wooden shed. In the summer, there will be a waterfall of purple-red flowers hanging under the wooden shed, and occasionally hanging plump red mangoes, which must be very beautiful.

By the time he was old, the red mango vine must have been very luxuriant. When the time comes, he can make a wicker chair and put it under the shed, and lie down on it in the summer, smell the flowers and fruits, and fall asleep.

"Ye Xi, you see we caught two female goats!" someone shouted in the distance.

Ye Xi woke up from his fantasy and looked towards where the sound came from.

I saw Litu carrying a four-legged sheep walking towards him, and a strong warrior next to him also carried a she-goat that kept bleating on his shoulder.

Ye Xi's eyes lit up, he strode over, looked at the goat on Litu's shoulder and said, "Put it down." ”

The poor ewe was carried all the way to the air, and when she was put on the ground, she was dizzy for a while, and then she wanted to run away.

Ye Xi hurriedly held it down, took a rattan stick, put it around its neck, and led it to the sheepfold.

That's right, he specially enclosed a piece of land and put stakes around it to fence it as a sheepfold for the tribe.

In fact, this valley is lush and meadows, and the area is large enough to be used for large-scale animal husbandry, and all the wild cattle, deer, etc. are kept in captivity, and even after a few years, the tribe can rely on the livestock to fill its stomach without hunting.

But Ye Xi only planned to raise female goats, and even forbade the tribesmen to slaughter these female goats for meat, usually just squeezing some goat milk and giving it to the children of the tribe to drink.

Because once a warrior does not go hunting, the force value will degrade, and a warrior who lacks actual combat experience is equivalent to a wolf without claws.

Ye Xi had considered this before, but later saw that since the Qi tribe moved to the relatively comfortable snow-capped mountains, not only the number of warriors had plummeted, but even the witches were gone, so he became more vigilant about this.

So Ye Xi is very careful, even if he raises, he only raises some milk-producing creatures, such as goats. I am afraid that the abundance of food will make the tribal warriors lazy, thinking that even if they don't hunt, they will have enough food to eat.

However, it doesn't matter if the crops are crops, no amount of vegetables and fruits can suppress the tribesmen's craving for meat, because of instinct, the warriors will still be as active as before.

Of course, there is another reason why these female goats are raised so much. That is, in the event of unrest, the meat of these she-goats can guarantee that no one in the tribe will starve to death in the event of a famine.

Baa ......

As soon as the she-goats entered the sheepfold, they ran around in panic, but they could not break through the fence. After a long time, I settled down and bowed my head to eat grass obediently.

The warriors were digging plants for she-goats, the slaves were busy farming, and the common people of the clan were not idle. They carried the wood on their backs and climbed to the top of the hill again and again to build a watchtower.

Although the geographical environment of this valley is superior, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it cannot be left without fortifications.

So Ye Xi suggested that the chief could build a watchtower on each of the four hills in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and arrange for the tribesmen to take turns to be on duty in the lookout building.

At the top of the hill, the situation outside the valley is unobstructed, which can be quickly detected if there is an enemy invasion.

Considering that the mountain here is steep and it takes a long time to climb the mountain, Ye Xi made some whistles, if there is an emergency, the people on duty only need to blow the whistle vigorously on the observation building, and the people below will hear the whistle, so as to immediately enter the state of preparation.

When this whistle was first made, the tribesmen were very curious, and they all had to blow this whistle, and the competition with each other was very fierce, and the valley was filled with sharp whistles for a while.

Later, Ye Xi was unbearable, and stipulated that no one was allowed to blow the whistle except for the enemy situation in the future, so it stopped.
