Most of the other tribes are concentrated in the lower reaches of Teng Snake, where the terrain is flat, whether it is hunting or fishing, it is more convenient, there is no need to chase wild beasts like Teng Snake, you need to run all over the mountains.

In order to facilitate communication in the future, Song Xuan wanted to learn from the Blackwater tribe and make some boats, but the big ones couldn't be made, and the canoe could be used improvised.

It just so happened that there was a thick tree in the tribe that had been burned before, and this tree was one meter and five wide, so that everyone had not been able to move it after knocking it down, and it was still in place, but some of the other branches on it had been cleaned up.

After visiting the Blackwater Tribe, Song Xuan had always had this idea, and when Shui Yun and the others came over, Song Xuan even asked them to help take a look, after all, they were also half experts in this area.

There are no cracks on the outside, no insects on the inside, and it is indeed a good wood for making a canoe.

The method of making a canoe is also simple, and if there is no chisel in the tribe, it is burned with fire to make a suitable cabin.

The tribe had very limited methods of processing wood, either burning it or cutting it with an axe.

The trunk of more than ten meters, Song Xuan divided it into three sections, except for the top section, which is slightly thinner, the other two sections can be used to make a canoe.

There are also many people in the tribe who have experienced it in the Blackwater Tribe last time, and they have a general impression that things that are not complicated in the first place are easier to do.

The entire cabin of the Black Water Tribe is a whole, Song Xuan asked Shi Ban to make a few partitions as much as possible, so that even if a small section of the water is flooded, it will not sink in its entirety, in addition to preventing sinking, the partition can also allow people to sit inside, after all, the cabin of the canoe is still relatively deep.

The two ends of the boat are also more delicate than those of the Black Water Tribe, although the two sides are not very symmetrical, but they are pointed, and they are slightly upturned, and Song Xuan also reduces the resistance of the canoe in the water as much as possible.

Although you can go down the river, it is not so easy to get when you come back, even if the place where the snake is located is already the most edge of this mountain range, but there is still a big gap with the downstream.

In a short period of three or four days, a canoe was basically completed, and what was needed now was to clean up the black charcoal burned inside with an axe.

……

Now that the canal has been dug into the tribe, in order to be able to store a certain amount of water in the tribe, more than twenty captives are now digging a small puddle in the western corner, the area is not too large, the size of a house is about the same, and it is not a problem to meet the daily water supply of the tribe.

As for the excess water, it is directly discharged into the river through the canal, originally Song Xuan still wanted to get a sewer, but it was easy to block it by simply digging it out by manpower, and after thinking about it, forget it, wait for the pottery kiln in the tribe to expand, and then let the stone burn a batch of pottery pipes!

"Divine messenger, the canoe is ready!"

"Let's go! Get him in the water! ”

The canoe was made directly in the same place, and now it has to find a way to get it into the river, and even if a cavity is burned out, the three-meter-long canoe still weighs hundreds of pounds.

Fortunately, there were plenty of men in the tribe, and five or six captives easily lifted it, and after carrying it to the shore, it went straight sideways, and then slowly pushed it into the water.

Although the tools and techniques are relatively rough, everyone still tries to maintain their balance when making the canoe, and the canoe is very stable after being launched.

The nearly four-meter canoe is not small even in the river, except for the bow and stern of the boat, which is inconvenient for sitting people, it is very spacious to seat eight people inside.

The diameter is one meter five or six, in addition to the hull on both sides, there can be one meter three or four, not to mention two people, three people are not particularly crowded.

In order to test the ability to download weight, Song Xuan also called a group of captives to go up, and this group of captives trembled one by one, probably thinking that Song Xuan was going to sink them into the river.

As a result, twenty people went up in a row, and the boat was still a bunch wide from the river.

This result is already very satisfactory to Song Xuan, one person counts him as a hundred catties, this can also hold more than two thousand catties of things, if this time can successfully open up the trade route, it will save a lot of effort to transport things downstream in the future.

"Yes, yes, class, you can bring someone to do the rest of the section!"

"Yes, oracle! What about the one above? ”

"Keep it, there are many trees in the tribe, and it's not bad for this section, and then you can pick a few more near the tribe, and the size should not be smaller than this ......"

Before Song Xuan finished speaking, he heard someone shouting to him.

"Oracle! Oracle! ”

As soon as I heard the voice, I knew that this was Shi Meng bringing people back.

"All arranged?"

"Shi Lin led people to guard there and built two small houses!"

Two houses, that is, two teams of people were left, fortunately, they were all husband and wife in the past, and it was not too lonely to be on duty for a period of time, Song Xuan arranged for each team to be on duty for half a month, and then change to others.

After all, the materials that two people can bring are enough to eat for so many days, and they can pick up some firewood or something nearby, and it is inconvenient to find food, after all, they used to be sentry posts, and if they didn't notice people for a little food, it would be a little more than worth the loss.

"Okay, then you guys rest and rest, and I'll take someone to the Blackwater Tribe tomorrow!"

There are only five days left before the appointed date, and if you miss it this time, you will have to wait for the autumn one, which will be half a year later.

"Okay, God told me to clean up my things!"

When Shi Meng heard that Song Xuan was about to set off, he proposed that he should also follow him, but now that there were so many captives in the tribe, everyone who could hold it down was guarding, and Song Xuan was really a little uneasy.

"Don't go this time, just let Yong follow me, you stay in the tribe and watch ......"

With that, Song Xuan looked at the busy captives in the tribe.

"No ......", Shi Meng just wanted to object, but when he saw Song Xuan mention the captives, he had no choice but to agree, although the captives seemed to work very hard one by one, but many of them did not give up, and when they were working, they looked around, and they saw that there was Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.

"Okay, bring a few more people!"

Shi Meng also made a clear distinction at this time, although it was also risky to go out to participate in the exchange conference, but it was mainly on the road, and the participating tribes had nothing to do with Teng Snake except for the Blackwater Tribe, and this meeting had been held here for so many years, and the safety was still guaranteed.

In this kind of place, I believe that no tribe dares to continue to exchange with them.

And after experiencing the baptism of blood again, the combat power of Teng Snake's people has improved very significantly, especially since everyone has a few prisoners under their hands, and they all look a lot fiercer.
