Chapter 35: Early Warning Sentry
The captives ate fine scraps, and naturally there was not much oil on them.
Oil is also relatively scarce in the tribe, after all, it can only be obtained from the prey, and when it is eaten daily, as long as it is relatively large, it is generally collected, and it was directly smeared before, but now that there is pottery, Song Xuan asked everyone to put the oil of the same animal together to boil.
In this way, the boiled oil can be stored for a longer time, and it can also increase the flavor when you put some on the soup when you grill the fish.
When I got to the captive, there was naturally no oil to eat, and the monks had more porridge and less porridge, and occasionally a little bit of meat was put into the pot and boiled into soup, and there was only a faint layer of oil in everyone's bowl.
Thinking of the food of the three of them, it is inevitable that some others will be envious.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and after a day of twists and turns, the three finally had time to think about their current situation.
………………
"Alas, get up quickly, wake him up, and come out to work after eating!"
Ishiyama kicked open the door of the captive's room, dragged the half-dead leader of the bow and arrow, and said to the people inside.
It wasn't until the morning that Song Xuan remembered that there was still a person hanging in the tribe, went over to take a look, and still had a breath, so he asked Shi Shan to relieve him, although he was not very honest, but it was a human life, since he had already played the role of killing chickens and monkeys, then let him go.
In terms of the normal survival ability of primitive people, although they were hung for a day, they should still be able to survive.
The captives looked at the black bird that was still alive yesterday and was now dying, and they felt very frightened in their hearts, but fortunately they heard something from Gong Yi and them yesterday, and looked at the people lying on the ground, only glad that they were not caught yesterday.
"~Water! ……”
Hearing the black bird begging for water, the surrounding people hurriedly fed it with half a bowl of water from a broken bowl.
I have to say that the black bird is still very tenacious, and it woke up after being untied for a while.
Song Xuan even saw him in the team digging the ground later, although he looked very weak, but he didn't dare to slack off, with the example of the black bird, the other captives worked even harder.
"Divine envoy, then I'll take someone to set off!"
"Well, choose a good address, let Shilin and them run away if they find something wrong!"
After breakfast, Shi Meng picked a few people and set off.
Naturally, this time it was not to hunt, in order to prevent the Wuyu tribe from having a big sneak attack like last time, Song Xuan and Shi Meng discussed it and decided to arrange an outpost on their way.
Last time, I was lucky enough to meet it halfway, but it's hard to say in the future, if I suddenly come to the tribe, I can't keep the snake anyway, and I can know the news in advance with a sentry.
Even if he couldn't delay the time, at least he ran back to inform the tribe, as long as there was time to prepare, as long as there were not too many people, Song Xuan now had the confidence to hold on.
Now they are also very familiar with this area, and as soon as Song Xuan brought it up, he said a few good locations, most of which are in the valley, with steep mountains on both sides, and they can only pass from there if they want to come over.
Song Xuan picked one of them that was four or five days away from the tribe, it would take so much time to walk normally, but if he hurried with all his might, according to the speed of the hunting team, he would be able to rush back in two days at most, so that even if they knew the route, Teng Snake would have at least two or three days to arrange.
Although there is not much time, it is better to know in advance than to be attacked suddenly, and this speed is still calculated according to the speed of the hunting team, they are quite familiar with this area, and other people are naturally slower to walk, referring to this group of people from the old tribe of Teng Snake to come here, it took almost a month to know that the road is not so easy to walk.
Moreover, Shi Meng and they also have a task on this trip, which is to set up some traps on the main road, which does not need to be too complicated or too much, and can slow down the speed of the enemy.
There is still a vigorous construction in the tribe, and nearly half of the aqueduct has been dug, I believe it will be completed in a few days, and Song Xuan is also thinking about what to do for them after the work is done.
I only hope that some of the more obedient ones can be selected among the captives to help them hunt, and they can't just rely on the snake to raise them, and now some of the women can go out to hunt and find fruit, and as far as the two-day investigation is concerned, the performance is quite good.
After inspecting, Song Xuan shook back to the tribe, and in the side room, Gong Yi and the three of them had already started to get busy, and the bark of the few trees cut back yesterday had been cleaned.
The next step is to cut the wood into a suitable shape with a knife, which is a more troublesome step because it is a knife, and after sharpening, it is necessary to bend them out of the shape of a bow.
The simplest and rude way is to nail a few pieces of wood on the ground, but in this way, it will be easy to loosen after a long time, Song Xuan is ready to follow their requirements, and Song Xuan is ready to make one out of wood alone.
After the bow body is bent, just wait for the shade to dry, as for the bowstring, you can only wait, these days, there has been no hunting in the tribe, even if the women go out to hunt, the prey they bring back is not large, and naturally it will not be useful.
This matter is not in a hurry, but fortunately, the bow body can not be formed in a day or two, so I can only wait slowly.
Calculating the time, it is almost time to make an appointment with the Blackwater Tribe, Song Xuan is ready to wait for Shi Meng and them to come back before leaving, the current situation in the tribe must not leave too many people at once.
In order to stock up in advance, the stone has been very busy in the past two days, and a lot of various pottery has been made, Song Xuan learned from Shui Yun that there are eight or nine tribes participating in this exchange conference, some of which are large and some are small, and there are sixty or seventy people in a tribe on average, hearing this, Song Xuan knew that the opportunity for Teng Snake to make money was coming.
Even if each tribe only buys bowls for half of the people, it is enough for the tribe to make a good profit, but Teng Snake will definitely not only enter and exit, I heard that the main major tribes at the conference have their own specialties, tools, beasts and even people can be exchanged, Song Xuan felt that there must be something that can make his heart flutter at that time.
In addition, Song Xuan was also going to bring some of the weapons and tools of Teng Snake with him, after all, these improved things, those who had used them said that they were good, and when Shui Yun left, he also took away the ones he used in battle.
As for other animal skins, beast horns and the like, you can also bring some luck, you can change it, the first time you go there is no experience, and it is easy to know the general situation of each tribe later.
Song Xuan, the most important fishing net in the tribe, decided not to bring it for the time being, this is also the guarantee plan for the survival of the Teng Snake Tribe, before the strength is not strong enough, it is better not to leak it easily.
