Chapter Seventy-Two: Heavy Rain

This time, the distribution of bows and arrows is still according to the previous principle, and whoever shoots accurately is whoever shoots.

After some competition, Shi Yong and the other ten people also happily played with the new bow in their hands, although there was also an element of showing off, but fortunately, Song Xuan also promised the rest of the people, and the next batch would soon be able to make it.

Of course, this will not work soon without a month, a beast tendon wants to be made into a bowstring, to say the least, it will take more than a month, and the same is true for the bow arm, but fortunately, a virtuous circle has been formed in the tribe, the hunting team goes out with bows and arrows, and naturally can bring back a lot of animal tendons, and the materials are not too short at present, what is missing is time.

I believe that if this batch of bows and arrows is taken out, everyone will gain more.

Song Xuan is not greedy, and he will try his best to share it with everyone in the tribe this year, and I believe that the combat power of the tribe will also increase a lot at that time.

In fact, there are only more than fifty men and women combined, and now a quarter of them have been completed, and this goal is not too difficult, as for the captives, it still depends on the performance, if there is a surplus, it can naturally be better for the people who can be integrated into it.

Fortunately, there are new witches in the tribe now, and Shi Jiu often brainwashes them...... High EQ should be said to spread the belief of Teng Snake, with Song Xuan's living example, the captives accepted it very quickly.

The hunting team took the new bow and arrow and set off, this time nearly half of the people used bows and arrows, everyone's confidence was still very sufficient, Shi Meng also picked a place with relatively more prey.

However, although the number of bows has increased, there is still a lack of arrows, not other parts, mainly ropes and feathers.

Song Xuan kept these hemp around the tribe for seeding, so he didn't dare to cut it more, but it was definitely not possible to use animal skins for arrows, so Xuan Song could only let Shihua pay attention when they went out to pick wild fruits.

As for the feathers, it is even more difficult to get, and now the stone skin is not like running around the tribe every day like before, he still has to be busy fishing, and the feathers he took out before have been almost used, and the rest is estimated to be able to make a dozen arrows.

So Shi Meng and they have a new task, that is, how many arrows to take out, and they must bring back the corresponding number of feathers.

Although it is mandatory, but in fact, if you want to get it, this task is not difficult to complete, even in the forest, there are a lot of birds and beasts, as long as you catch one, you can make more than ten or twenty arrows, if you really can't go to the low bushes in the wild to find pheasants or something, plucked hair can also be used.

Anyway, whether they use a sling or a bow and arrow to shoot, as long as they get some more, arrows are consumables after all, and it is definitely more reassuring to reserve more, and now everyone has only five or six in their hands, to be honest, it is not enough, and when encountering large-scale prey, they can only be used at critical times, otherwise they will be shot in one round.

…………

The rice in the tribe is now more than twenty centimeters tall, the primitive rice in this era is not as tall and stout as Song Xuan used to watch on TV, the rice here is still relatively low, according to the withered seedlings of the Heishui tribe, it has basically grown halfway, of course, the time is much worse.

In addition to the few acres of land planted in the tribe, Song Xuan also found some on the other side of the river, the other side of the river has not been the focus of the Tengsnake tribe's development, although the section of the river at the entrance of the tribe is not wide, but the distance of ten meters is also relatively difficult to pass through, unless you take a boat.

The river in the middle is almost three or four meters deep, and even this side of the river is enough for everyone to produce and live, so everyone is not thinking about the past, of course, the main reason is that the proportion of the opposite bank is relatively small.

The river is a very large bend from upstream to downstream, and the snake is relatively part of a concave bank, so the area where it can move is relatively large, and everyone rarely struggles to cross it.

But Song Xuan has been searching for things around the tribe recently, and found a small clump of wild rice not far away, the number is not much, only a few dozen, these rice are used by Song Xuan as a sample for reference, compared to them, the tribe obviously grows better, the color of the leaves is darker, and it is obviously more fertile.

Of course, this is not the thing that makes Song Xuan the most happy, what makes him happiest is that among the seeds collected last year, a few rape trees have been planted, although they are slightly different from those in later generations, but they are quite similar in appearance and taste.

However, Song Xuan only dared to pinch a little, and took it to taste the taste, and after it was basically determined, he removed some of the obviously inedible weeds around him, leaving them plenty of living space, and when they matured, I believe that there will be more seeds, and Song Xuan still attaches great importance to rape, because when it is tender, it can be directly used to stir-fry vegetables and eat, and it is even better when it is old, and it can also be used to squeeze oil.

The snake now has a very single channel to obtain oil, and can only scrape some from the prey it catches and collects it, but only in late autumn, when these prey begin to accumulate fat for the winter, will they have a little more oil on their bodies.

In other seasons, either you are hungry and have no oil, or because you have more ways to get food, you don't want to save more fat, and you exercise more, so the oil and water are naturally not big.

It's good to eat the meat directly, but if you want to save some oil, it's a bit reluctant to use it at other times, and sometimes a few prey can't scrape off two bowls of oil, and even less after refining.

But fortunately, Song Xuan has higher requirements for these things, most of the people in the tribe can fill their stomachs, they have come from the hardest days, and their requirements for food are not high.

But Song Xuan didn't just think about the appetite in front of him, there was no problem with hunting now, but it would be difficult to say when he started to focus on planting in the future, if he didn't have enough oil, even if he had rice, he would not be able to eat it.

Before, he could only pin his hopes on these prey raised by the tribe, but the appearance of rape did increase the way to obtain oil, even if the oil could not be squeezed out and used as a vegetable in the future, Song Xuan simply tasted a little, and the taste was still quite good, at least much stronger than most wild vegetables.

However, even if it is a wild vegetable, Song Xuan has also marked a lot around the tribe, and if there are seeds, he will naturally keep them, and then collect the seeds when they are ripe, and if there are no seeds, he will also observe the growth of his whole cycle, after all, some things are delicious when they are tender, and they will taste better when they are ripe.

And there is still a big difference between this era and Song Xuan's previous era, most of the things have gone through tens of thousands of years of evolution, especially those artificially cultivated things, and the original varieties are even more different, now those that look inedible may be very hot things in the future generations, not to mention these, it seems that at present, eating things that are not bad, so there must be no problem to take a look at more.

Song Xuan alone, naturally he can't do much stronger, but fortunately, Teng Snake's people will also help continue to collect seeds when the time comes, and Song Xuan also instructed these surrounding tribes before, I believe that driven by interests, they should be very thorough.

Boom~

"Hey, it's been raining for five days, why doesn't it stop~"

“…………”

The rainy season of the year is finally here.

The original tribe of Teng Snake, although the distance from here is not really that far, it is only three or four hundred miles, but due to the barrier of the mountains, the climate is still quite different, according to Shi Meng They said, they can clearly feel that the rain here is more abundant now.

Heavy rain like the current one, which lasted for several days, may not have been able to rain for several years in the previous tribe, but this is the second long heavy rain in recent times, and the previous rain also fell for three days.

Fortunately, although you can't go out hunting, there are a lot of jobs in the tribe, so it's good to mobilize everyone to make more things, whether it's arrows or planks, or even help make pottery.

Since the beginning of hunting, everyone has been out for more than three months, and most of the weapons have a lot of wear and tear, although they usually polish it a little, but after all, they have not been properly maintained, and it is just time to tie the weapons more tightly.

However, at this time when the prey is at its most, the continuous heavy rain is still very disturbing, and everyone in the tribe is itchy.

"Yo~"

Even Uncle Deer also came over to join in the fun, and they naturally couldn't get out when it rained, so they could only eat the grass that was usually saved in the tribe, even if the grass was just cut before the rain, it was not much fresh until now, which was still a little uncomfortable for Uncle Deer, who was used to eating the best quality tender grass, after all, it was not winter.

But it's going to rain and the mother is going to get married, no matter how powerful Song Xuan is, he can't do anything about God, so he can only touch his head as if he was appeased, and then moved Uncle Lu's big head to the side, this huge head really affected Song Xuan's production of arrows.

Since the task of collecting materials for the hunting team and the gathering team, they will bring some with them every time they come back, no matter how many they are, but every time, there is still a lot of accumulation after more times.

Now it is a rare time to have in the recent period, just to make them all, can also come in handy in time, this period of time they have made a batch of new bows, but the number is not much, only five.

But after this round of division of the previous arrows, there are really not many of them in everyone's hands, and everyone will complain about the lack of arrows every time they hunt.

Now almost everyone is in the tribe, so it is also quick to do, and it only takes two days to make more than 100 arrows, and finally the number of arrows allocated to each person is increased to a usable level.
