Chapter 885: Straw Bale Internet Celebrity Ancient Farming (20)
Small meat beasts kill one arrow, and medium-sized meat beasts need two people to fight. When you encounter a fierce beast, you will listen to the great witch, and if you can't beat it, you will run.
As the weather gradually cooled, the pheasants captured alive still dug a deep pit and fenced them in captivity, bison, wild deer, wild goats, these beasts, as long as they were not injured, or not seriously injured, Xu Yin could treat them, and after being cured, they also found a piece of land to raise.
The gentle slope in front of the cave is nothing else, and there are many on the spot.
The thorny shrubs were transplanted into small farms with a diameter of about 20 meters, leaving a doorway for the tribe and installing a wooden door.
Grass and leaves are not enough, and the tribesmen will throw in the shriveled wild fruits, wild vegetables, and leftover black potatoes that they dislike to feed them.
In the case of water, a shallow ditch is dug along the mountain, and the water left over from washing vegetables and wild fruits is poured into the ditch, and it will flow into the farm.
The only trouble is that the beast's droppings must be cleaned regularly, otherwise it will stink.
Xu Yin asked the people in charge of cleaning the farm to collect the manure together and compost it, and if they open up the wasteland in the spring of the next year, the fertilizer will also be available.
As for the uneaten animal meat, in addition to smoking and salting it as before, Xu Yin also taught everyone to make air-dried meat strips.
This is more durable than bacon and bacon. If it is thoroughly dried, it will not break for a year and a half.
When the winter comes, when the snow is falling heavily outside, the weather is cold, and everyone hides in the cave and has nothing to do, they tear a piece of air-dried meat down, and chat about the sky while roasting the fire, while chewing slowly and eating, the more they chew, the fresher they become.
Xu Yin demonstrated the air-dried meat, and gave a small strip to the people.
"Delicious!"
"It's delicious!"
"I can't eat the smell of animal meat at all."
"That's right! Only umami! It's delicious! ”
"And I'm very hungry, I don't feel hungry after eating a small strip."
"Hunt more meat and come back, you can't eat it all to make jerky!"
The hunting team originally thought that there was already a lot of meat they had hunted, enough for the entire tribe to survive the winter, so they planned to slow down.
After all, if you always draw the bow and shoot the arrow, the string will break.
There aren't many opportunities for the two-horned beast to hunt, and the remaining deer tendon must be spared.
But after tasting the air-dried meat, the hunting momentum came up again.
Every day, I go out early and return late, and I carry back a lot of meat.
The only member of the original hunting team was Ah Lie, who stayed behind in the tribe, and he took two teenagers, Dashu and Xiaoshu, to guard the upper mountain pass with bows and crossbows, and taught the seven newly joined men to practice archery by the way.
It is too late to build a group of bamboo buildings, but there is still time to build a simple outpost with a high and distant view.
The big tree and the small tree stand guard in the bamboo pavilion with a set of bows on their backs.
In the nearby clearing, Alie taught the men how to draw their bows and aim.
"It doesn't matter if you can't pull it, Dawu said, your body has lost too much, and you need to recuperate for a while to get better, practice your head first, and then take you to hunt when your body recovers."
"Can we have such a weapon too?"
"Of course! The people of our tribe, men and women, young and old, as long as they can carry it, will have their own set of bows. And don't think we're ready for you, you'll have to do it yourself. Come on! Keep practicing! In the morning, I will teach you how to make a bow and crossbow. ”
The men wiped their eyes with the backs of their hands and nodded vigorously: "We must practice hard!" ”
What to do! They were so moved that they almost cried!
How is the new tribe so good!
How can the Great Witch be so good!
Not only did he save them and give them a place to be free, but he also taught them such a precious life-saving technique!
Train!
You have to practice well!
If you don't practice to be a hundred shots, you will be ashamed of the good of the great witch and the clansmen!
The sharpshooter squad that resounded throughout the Central Plains was born.
……
The female-winged tiger was lying not far away bored, watching the cubs rolling in the bushes, and sometimes turning her head to look at the mountain pass and calling her "sisters" Why didn't the humans come back?
As for the cub's father, he was recruited by Xu Yin to work as a coolie.
There is no way, the distance is too far, relying on manpower, how many trips do you have to go back and forth to carry back the things they collected. Not to mention tired, it also costs time.
The Winged Tiger is much faster, and as soon as the wings are spread, the work will be there in a while.
They put the dug up stalks into a soft rattan bag, the mouth of the bag was tightly tied, and the two of them were tied together and hung on the back of the male-winged tiger.
The wide back can carry four large bags at a time.
It took a few ups and downs and was transported back to the tribe.
"Awesome!"
Dawa and Leah, who were teaching the new women to weave all kinds of things, saw what the male winged tiger had brought back, and Xu Yin gave it a thumbs up.
Gongyi Tiger's eyes widened: I am the king of the forest, how can I compare?
It walked with the steps of the king who did not recognize its six relatives, came to the cub's mother, and immediately turned into a licking dog, no, licking the tiger, and rubbed its daughter-in-law affectionately.
The female-winged tiger gave him a paw and roared: Why don't you hurry up and help, you just want to lie down and rest after just one flight?
There was no way, the tigress at home was too fierce, so the male-winged tiger had to spread its wings again and fly to pick up the second and third batches of supplies.
A whole flying beast.
Ah Dong sat at the mouth of the cave to know the herbs, and according to Xu Yin's prescription, he carefully used the precious clay pot to decoct the medicine for everyone to regulate the body.
After drinking it for five days, although Shen Zhen has not healed, the whole person is much more relaxed.
She stared at the medicine jar, and noticed the interaction of the Yihu family, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, this kind of life is so good!
At that time, Xu Yin had already led the women to dig out the mature Panax notoginseng tubers, leaving only a few red and bright Panax notoginseng flowers, which were kept for breeding and multiplying more Panax notoginseng in the spring of next year.
After that, she led the collection team to a nut forest that she had previously observed.
"Ah Chun, take out the big net we made and spread it under the tree."
"Okay, big witch."
"Dawu, it's done."
"I'll go up the tree first, and if there's fruit later, I'll shake it down, and you guys step back a little and stay safe."
After Xu Yin finished speaking, she jumped lightly onto the tree, rubbed along the trunk a few times and climbed up.
The women under the tree all looked up at her, their eyes full of admiration and reverence.
The Great Witch is amazing! Such a tall tree, you can climb it.
They can also climb trees, and when they encounter fierce beasts, climbing trees is the best way to save themselves, but like such a tall tree, they can climb at most ten meters, and then they will be terrified.
Therefore, when Xu Yin asked them if trees like them with smooth bark and tall grew wild fruits, they couldn't answer.
I can't pick it up when it's long! It's so high that the treetops feel like you can touch the clouds.
Xu Yin climbed to the branch of the tree and saw the luxuriant branches and leaves, only to know that this was originally a sweet chestnut tree.
She bent her eyebrows in delight, and then shouted under the tree, "Stand back! Stay safe! ”
Then he shook the branches, and the ripe chestnuts crackled and fell.
It wasn't until she couldn't shake much fruit that she got off the tree with the help of light skills.
