Chapter 52: Rice Seeds Breed Small Shoots

Early the next morning, Song Xuan didn't even have time to eat after getting up, so he came directly to the workshop.

Untied the rope that tied the feathers, and gently pulled it twice, the feathers really stuck to it like this, but it was not as strong as Song Xuan's ideal arrow feathers, and with a little strength, it could still be easily pulled apart.

But you must know that there is nothing else to help fix the arrow feather now, and if you tie it with a rope a little, it is basically enough to use it.

Although this sap is not the most ideal material, it does solve the urgent need of the Tengsnake tribe, and it can still be used until a better adhesive is found.

Song Xuan also tried this arrow directly, after having the arrow feather, the flight attitude was indeed a lot more stable, and the range was also increased by one-third, although it was not easy to shoot sixty or seventy meters away, but with the blessing of the arrow, the power was still quite good.

It's a pity that there is only this one now, and the new bow will be made and that one, and it will take a while to apply it on a large scale.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the rice fields have basically been cleaned up, and the roots in the fields have been repeatedly burned and flooded, at least the upper layer has disappeared, and as for the lower ones, they can only wait for him to rot slowly, but fortunately, it will not affect the cultivation in the tribe.

Although Song Xuan has never planted rice before, he has heard the word "double robbery", which means to rush to harvest and grab seeds, and the time is generally in July and August, when the early rice has begun to be harvested, push it forward, and now this time is almost past the earliest planting time of early rice.

However, Song Xuan did not have the idea of planting double-cropping rice, in order to be safe, it was better to plant only one season, so Song Xuan decided to start planting in the last month.

But when the time comes, it will definitely be seedlings that will be planted, so now you can get a piece of cultivation seedlings in advance, and it should not work in twenty or thirty days from seeds to seedlings that can be planted.

Seedlings are the most important thing in rice planting, but unfortunately Song Xuan only knows the general process, and only hopes that it will not affect this batch of seeds, but Song Xuan thinks that they can survive in such a harsh environment in the wild, and no matter how much he gets it, he will not kill them all.

However, in order to prevent all the rice seeds from being buried by a mistake, Song Xuan still decided to take out some of them to experiment first and choose the best plan.

If you want to have seedlings, the first thing is to breed and sprout, otherwise all the brains will be scattered in the field, and if they are all rotten, there will be no harvest.

The animal skins in the tribe are not very breathable, Song Xuan naturally didn't dare to use them, fortunately, the clothes he wore when he came were still there, although they were scraped by the branches on the way to the relocation of the snake, but they were barely usable, at least much more breathable than these things in the tribe.

This is also the only thing that Song Xuan has a little bit of thoughts, although he knows that he is unlikely to be able to go back, but he has always kept it, and now it comes in handy.

Touching the soft clothes in his hand, Song Xuan felt that he should never be able to wear such comfortable clothes in his life, thank God for being able to use hemp, and dare to think about the rest.

After wetting the clothes, he took out the rice that had been soaked overnight, there were not many here, and Song Xuan was also the first time to get it, so he only grabbed a small handful, gently spread them all out, and then covered them with clothes, and sprinkled a little water every other day to keep them as moist as possible.

I was afraid that if I was not careful, they would not bud, so Song Xuan didn't dare to look at it more, he took a look in the morning and another look at it in the evening, and there was no movement for three days, which made Song Xuan think that he was going to fail.

Finally on the fourth day, after a night, most of the rice showed small white buds, although not big, but quite obvious, Song Xuan did not put his mind at ease until this time, this first step was considered a success, the next step was to wait for the buds to grow more, and then sprinkle them into the ground.

Although the rice has not yet been germinated on a large scale, the land needed to cultivate the seedlings has been cleaned up, and Song Xuan doesn't know how much land is needed for these ten catties of seeds, so he directly asked the captives to get out half an acre of small ones.

This small piece of land takes no less effort than reopening a piece of land, every small piece of soil has been broken, Song Xuan also specially asked Shi Ban to make a few simple wooden nail rakes, if you want to say it, it is also a little similar to Zhu Bajie's nine-tooth nail rake, but it looks a little ugly.

A stick is sandwiched horizontally in front of a stick, and the two sides are also tied with wood to form a triangle, and seven or eight holes are burned out of the horizontal wood, and then the wood is inserted into it, revealing a ten-centimeter appearance.

Use this nail rake to crawl back and forth in the field repeatedly until the rice field is completely leveled.

Just when Song Xuan sprinkled into the seedling field, Shi Yong and his party, who had been out for almost a month, finally came back, and this time the harvest was of course not as much as the last one, although the various tribes had arrears, but most of them only had a small half.

However, this is not the only purpose for Song Xuan to let them pass, the most important thing is to run all the tribes around, although they have been running between the major tribes for a month, Shi Yong and their condition seems to be good.

"Divine envoy, it turns out that the three tribes of wolf, bear, and spur are all near us, and we will arrive in two or three days by boat!"

As soon as Shi Yong came back, he introduced the situation of the surrounding tribes to Song Xuan, the location of these three tribes was a little further north than Teng Snake, and the nearest tribe could even rush over in two days.

They are also in the upper reaches of the tributaries of the big river, but the tributaries they are located are closer to the Teng Snake, due to the obstruction of many rivers, and the main hunting center of the Teng Snake is still in the mountains to the north, so there is no contact between everyone.

As for the other tribes in the downstream of Teng Snake, most of them are also built near the water, but this is the only one that directly builds houses by the river like Heishui.

The farthest tribe even took six or seven days to arrive by boat, but fortunately, the further downstream the water flowed, the gentler it was, otherwise it would not be possible to row back with the goods.

After Shi Yong and the others returned, the population of the tribe had finally reached its peak, counting the captives There were already more than a hundred people, which had doubled compared to the people who had just come, and most of them were Teng Snake's own people.

Knowing that Shi Jiu became a witch after he came back, Shi Yong was also very excited, and took someone to find Shi Jiu to bathe in the glory of the gods, although Shi Jiu as a witch did not have to hunt like Shi Meng, but he usually worked in the tribe.

The deficit in the body is still there, Song Xuan let them take the children to hunt, fish now account for a very large proportion of the tribe, especially the captives, basically have meals, at most occasionally use snails, river mussels here to change the taste.
