Back at the camp, Xia Qi didn't rest much, drank a bowl of hot water, and after warming up his body, he called someone to find Yan.

Yan came quickly, got into the tent, looked at Xia Qi sitting on the animal skin, and asked with a respectful face, "Chief, are you looking for me?" ”

"I'm going to build a branch city, and I'll leave it to you to manage." didn't make any detours, Xia Qi said straight to the point.

"Chief, what do you mean by 'divided city'?" However, Iwa, who heard this, was full of doubts.

"Uh...... Then I'll explain it to you. "Okay, anyway, Xia Qi is used to the backwardness of this era.

Explained the concept of the city in a simple and clear way, Yan is also a smart person with an intelligence of three stars, and quickly understood what Xia Qi meant.

Seeing that Yan understood the concept of the sub-city, Xia Qi continued: "This time, you need to lead the hunting team over, and the sub-city will be under your full management, and you don't have to worry about food supplies or anything, the tribe is in charge." ”

There is another advantage to this, the tribe and the sub-city communicate with each other frequently, so that the sub-city will not be defeated at that time, and Xia Qi still knows nothing about it.

There was no nonsense, Xia Qi directly spread out the map and pointed out to Yan the location where the city needed to be established.

"This is this place, after the establishment of this branch city, you have only one main task, that is, to dig this coal."

Speaking of fun, Xia Qi took out a piece of coal that he brought back and put it in front of Yan.

Yan subconsciously took the coal, and then found that the palm of the hand that he had touched the coal was stained with obvious black.

"Coal is a very important fuel, in short, it can be used instead of wood to make fires, and the deer will tell you the specifics of the situation."

Speaking of this, Xia Qi took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said: "I will have people prepare the tools needed to dig coal as soon as possible, and the people who will deliver you food will carry the dug coal back to the tribe at the same time." Of course, if there is any accident, it is really a last resort, there are still taro on the side of the city, you can dig some emergency first.

Okay, that's all I'm going to say for now, do you have any questions? ”

"Do you want to leave early tomorrow morning?" Iwa asked.

"The sooner the better, the temperature is getting colder and colder lately, and at this rate, the weather may get colder and colder, and this coal can replace wood to make fires, it can burn longer and the temperature is higher, so, considering the change in the weather, I want to supply coal in the tribe as soon as possible." Xia Qi's face was serious.

"I understand, there is no problem for the time being, and if there is any problem in the future, I will ask the person in charge of transporting the ingredients to bring me back."

"Hmm." Xia Qiyan nodded when he heard this.

Xia Qi didn't have time to rest, and there were still many things he needed to be busy with.

He immediately made a list, confirmed the people he planned to send to the coal mine one by one, and then asked people to notify them one by one so that they could be mentally prepared. Under Xia Qi's rapid adjustment, everything was so orderly, and the development plan of the entire tribe was on track again.

At the same time, for the sake of convenience, he gave the branch city a name, called "black gold", that is, black gold.

For the current Xia tribe, coal is far more precious than gold.

I don't know if Yan once had rich management experience as a patriarch, and the development of the Black Gold Tribe was going very smoothly.

On the second day of the establishment of the tribe, all the people who had gone to deliver food came back with baskets full of coal, and according to them, there was a large pile of coal dug up on the other side of the city.

The days passed like this, and the weather was getting colder day by day, and in the early morning of this day, Xia Qi, who was sleeping, suddenly shivered.

"Good, so cold......"

Subconsciously tightened the animal skin quilt on his body, Xia Qi at this time almost wanted to wrap himself into a zongzi, but he couldn't dispel the swept chill at all, and the sudden big drop directly woke Xia Qi up from the early hours of the morning.

He opened the earth dragon and saw that the coal inside had been extinguished at some point.

The sudden movement will surround the three wolf cubs he is sleeping...... Now it can't be said that it is a little wolf cub, the former wolf cub has become a half-grown teenager at this time.

Everyone in the tribe knew that the three of them were raised by the patriarch, so they were treated very politely, and they did not worry about eating and drinking, their fur was smooth and smooth, and they were much larger than ordinary wolves.

Looking at Xia Qi's movements, the three young men looked at him puzzled.

However, Xia Qi didn't notice their movements, wrapped in the thick animal skin on his body, Xia Qi left the nest.

The moment he got out of the ground, the cold wind that was whistling in his face was like an ice knife, and the feeling of blowing on his face was no longer cold, but painful! This kind of pain that the skin is almost scratched by frostbite makes Xia Qi, who has gradually adapted to this ice and snow, feel the harshness of the living environment in this era again.

Not only Xia Qi, but almost the entire tribe was awakened by the cold, and he simply asked one person from each nest to get the coal again. Someone was in charge of this work, so after looking at it for a while and finding that there was no problem, Xia Qi returned to his nest.

After putting the coal into the nest and igniting it, Xia Qi got into the nest again. However, it was still very cold in the nest for a while.

Perhaps, this is the disadvantage of building too much of a residence.

Fortunately, he has other ways to keep warm.

Then he grabbed a dog and held it in his arms, and sure enough, Xia Qi suddenly felt a lot warmer.

The next day, the sun rose, and I finally felt a little warmer in the sun.

When everyone gathered for breakfast, Xia Qi still emphasized to everyone that if anyone felt unwell, they must say it as soon as possible.

At the same time, for the sake of insurance, Xia Qi increased the supply of food, and added a large amount of shredded ginger to the fish soup, even if most people in the tribe didn't like this taste, but because of Xia Qi's majesty all the time, he had to pinch his nose and pour the fish soup into his stomach.

But not to mention, after drinking the fish soup, everyone felt a warmth rise from the stomach, and the warmth was very comfortable.

In addition, what also worries Xia Qi is the situation on the side of the Black Gold Tribe, because this sharp cooling has increased the importance of coal again, and the demand has also increased, for this reason, Xia Qi had to select a group of people from the original Leopard Tribe to loosen it.

"Over there is something wrong with the Black Gold Tribe." At noon on the second day of the cold wave's arrival, the deer told Xia Qi a piece of news.

Xia Qi's hand shook and asked, "What's going on over there in the Black Gold Tribe?" ”

Lu replied: "The temperature dropped suddenly in the middle of the night last night, the snow suddenly became heavier, several tents were crushed by the snow, and four people are currently sick, and two are frostbitten. ”

"Didn't I say before that the wood used to build a tent must be thick and strong, and besides, isn't the animal skin also thicker?" Xia Qi said.

"Yan said that these people were lazy, did not look for strong wood, and just picked up some branches at random and set up the tent."

When Xia Qi heard this, he patted his forehead with some annoyance, this is the end of laziness!

"You go and tell Yan to let him investigate tent by tent, and once all the tents that are found to be substandard and have potential safety hazards are dismantled and rebuilt, such a thing must not happen again."

Xia Qi's face was solemn: "At present, for the tribe, the importance of the mining team does not need to be said, let the sick four and the frostbitten two come back first, the conditions of the tribe are much better than over there." ”

After thinking about it, Xia Qi said again: "Set up a tent on the periphery of the tribe and place these people there temporarily. ”

The reason why Xia Qi did this was to prevent these people from getting infectious diseases, and if the disease was spreading in the tribe, it would really be over.

"Yes." After receiving Xia Qi's order, the deer left in a hurry.

Because of the severe cold, the entire Lake has been frozen, and the canoe is firmly frozen in the ice.

Looking at the Great Xia Lake that could not be seen at a glance, Xia Qi stretched out his hand to summon two people, and after finding a stone the size of a human head by the lake, he asked one of them to hold it, and then the three of them stepped on the ice on the lake and walked towards the depths of the Great Xia Lake.

Smashing the ice on the edge of the lake is obviously unreliable, and those who play ice fishing are running towards the center of the frozen lake, after all, the water in the center of the lake is deeper, and there should be more fish in the deep water.

However, the area of Daxia Lake is too large, and the farther you go to the center of the lake, the thinner the thickness of the ice becomes, so for the sake of life safety, Xia Qi did not go too deep.

About twenty meters away from the target, Xia Qi found a super position and stopped.

"That's it." Xia Qi instructed: "You use stones to smash a hole here, and when one smashes it, the other is watching a little by the side, be careful not to fall." ”

After ordering the task here, Luo Ji didn't plan to stay here for long, smashing out an ice hole was just the first step in fishing, and in addition, he had to get some fishing tools.

The stone spear was first excluded by him, the lake is so deep, it is really a bit impractical, in fact, the best tool is still a fishing net.

Xia Qi called the people of the fishing team and began to tell them how to fish on the ice.

It is not difficult to fish with a net on the ice, the thing to do is to put the net together, sit next to the ice hole, grab one end of the net, don't let the net fall down, and then sprinkle a handful of bait into the lake every once in a while, and when you feel the movement, you find that the fish is in the net, and immediately lift the net, the point is that you don't move until the fish comes in.
