Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Little Shock
The tribe already had some materials for building houses, so it was only necessary for some people to go out and cut down trees, and the other people to start building directly.
Moreover, the newly cut wood also has to be dried in the shade to make a house, and now it is still necessary to use the existing materials in the tribe to make a few slightly larger ones first, so that Shui Yun and them can squeeze it first.
After so many days of drifting on the boat, it should be very satisfying for them to be able to live in a house, and they all live in a not a good boat, and the canoe is not comfortable to sit on, let alone lying down, and it shows that they are tough enough to hold on for so many days.
More than a hundred adults were busy in the tribe, which was even more spectacular than when the captives were captured before.
This time it was not only Shui Yun who joined the tribe, Song Xuan also let Gong Yi and the six people participate, originally they were just missing a ceremony, this time they did it together by the way, as for the other captives, they could only wait a little later, after all, they haven't seen much contribution to the tribe yet, and if they want to join, they can only use time to qualify.
However, Teng Snake now treats these captives much better than before, when they first arrived, these captives were locked in the courtyard except for work, and now they still live in the semi-crypt-like houses in the courtyard, but they are not too strictly guarded.
As long as it doesn't involve important places in the tribe, they can still come out for a walk, of course, the area is still limited to the Tengsnake tribe, and they can't go too far.
Most of them have already formed new families, and the Wuyu tribe has replaced most of the men, which has instead prompted a balance between men and women among the remaining captives, and as long as there is no good reason, Song Xuan's marriage offer, the captives are not qualified to refuse.
However, whether the reasons they said will work or not, it is still up to Song Xuan to decide, although the Wuyu tribe has left and changed, many people have families, but many of the women who have stayed have already made families, and even a few of their children are still in the Wuyu tribe.
When these people give marriage, Song Xuan will still ask for their opinions, if he really disagrees, Song Xuan does not force it, but this era is still beyond Song Xuan's imagination, although most women are still a little worried about their children, but they do not refuse to start a family again.
Of course, this is also the spouse of many of them, who have all died in the previous battle, and Song Xuan also learned that the more than 100 people from the Black Feather tribe who came to attack Teng Snake last time were very powerful, but the number of people who really belonged to the headquarters of the Black Feather tribe was only half.
Except for those who died, most of them were replaced by Ulo last time, and the sense of belonging among the remaining people is naturally not so strong, after all, this is still an era when men are strong and women are weak, and the key is that the treatment of Teng Snake to everyone is not worse than when they were in the Wuyu tribe, especially after seeing that Gong Yi and several of them are particularly valued.
The bow and a few people can also be regarded as the pilot characters of the Teng Snake, and the effect is quite good, not only bringing very good quality bows and arrows to the Teng Snake tribe, but also promoting the enthusiasm of the remaining captives to work.
More than 40 people worked together, and in less than half a day, everyone built the main frame of the house, and all that was left to do was to lay thatch on the roof and give the house, and then paste the grass and mud as a whole.
However, there is not much thatch left in the tribe, not enough to cover half of the roof, let alone these three large houses, and it is too late to cut some back from the outside, after all, it will take a lot of time until they are completely dry.
In a hurry, Song Xuan can only let everyone paste a layer of mud first, after all, the wood has been arranged very tightly, although there is in the middle, but the gap is not big, fill the gap with the existing thatch, level it, and directly take the grass paste on it, as long as it doesn't rain heavily, you can still make do with it.
The tribes behind have enough thatch, so they can still be upgraded slowly.
Originally, the house was built larger than the average house, basically more than twice the small house that Song Xuan and the others lived in, so the paste and mud became the slowest link in the entire house building work.
But it's not raining yet, as long as the ground is dry, you can fall asleep tonight, and as soon as you choose the address, everyone will raise the fire in the house.
There must be no problem with staying temporarily, living in such a room is not much worse than a cave, at least it looks much better in appearance.
It's also hot now, so even if there is some air leakage on all sides, it's not a big deal.
"Oracle, we're back!"
As soon as Song Xuan drove Uncle Lu's family into the deer pen, he heard Shi Pi in the distance already shouting to himself.
Since everyone is busy building a house today, Uncle Lu has also lost his care for a while, although there is usually no one to take care of it, walking around in the east and walking around in the west, although it has given the people of the Blackwater tribe a lot of shock, but it has also really affected everyone's progress.
Although they have all seen the cows that Song Xuan brought back before, those two cows are not as psychic as Uncle Lu, and the people of the Teng Snake Tribe seem to be showing off, you take a handful of grass and shout, I will take a handful of grass and summon it again.
Even the people of the Blackwater tribe wanted to imitate, and Uncle Lu snorted with disdain, twisted his ass and left, and his arrogant personality was unobstructed.
In addition to Uncle Lu, Wangcai, who had been following Song Xuan, was also very surprised to them, although Uncle Lu was obedient, but after all, they ate grass, and they also knew that this animal was relatively docile, so they were not too surprised that Teng Snake could raise them.
But the wolf of Wangcai is different, the wolf is a very fierce prey, every time he goes out to hunt, he either fights with them to the end, or he runs away directly, and there is very little chance to come back alive, even if he is caught, he can't survive.
What surprised the people of the Heishui tribe the most was that the wolf Wangcai was having a very good time with a few deer several times bigger than him, and for a while, not many people in Heishui wondered if the world had changed too much, and when would the meat eaters and grass eaters be able to play together.
Although the number of animals currently raised by Teng Snake is not large, except for rabbits, they are all relatively strong, especially the two big cows, even if they have seen them on the boat before, but now the close contact has given them a little cow shock.
His tribe can't even eat enough these days, but Teng Snake can still afford to raise so many prey, this psychological gap is really not small, but when I think about it, I am also a Teng Snake person now, and my mood became more complicated for a while.
Shi Pi's voice sounded relatively distant, so Song Xuan didn't rush out, and it took a while before he slowly shook to the door.
At a glance, Shi Shui and they can be said to be very exaggerated, and Shi Shui also understood what Song Xuan meant, so he picked up all the fish he caught with branches.
Today's harvest is also very powerful, at least more than half of the recent period, basically the kind of fishing in the tribe at the beginning, the harvest is very much, it seems that they also picked a piece today, and they have not caught a place at all.
At the head were the two big children of the Heishui tribe, I saw the two of them carrying a stick one after the other, and in the middle of the stick was a huge grass carp, just this fish was at least more than forty catties, this kind of big fish is usually rare, and it took ten days and half a month for the snake to meet one.
The children in the back either hold it directly, or they also learn to take the stick one after the other, and pick one up and put it on their shoulders.
The small fish were not wasted, and the stone water asked the children to rub the grass and wear it into a string, although it was not as shocking as the big fish at the head, but at least it looked pretty good.
Soon a group of children walked back to the tribe, Song Xuan glanced at Shi Shui appreciatively, he didn't expect that this was also a talent, and he was very good at doing things.
The leading child was also very excited, and as soon as he entered the tribe, he shouted:
"Look, Chief!"
Looking at their own children carrying the big fish, the people of the Blackwater Tribe were directly shocked and their jaws dropped, after all, only Shi Shui and the two captives went out, and the main force was these children who had not yet reached adulthood, and the eldest of them would have to take a year or two to reach the current adult standard.
You must know that such a big fish, Shuiyun themselves are difficult to catch, they usually plug in the fish, the largest is only ten catties, this is still lucky, generally three or four catties of fish are more, of course, the Teng Snake tribe is also like this, but fortunately, the fishing net coverage is relatively wide, it is easier to catch big fish.
Although the totem of the Blackwater tribe is a fish, such a big fish is enough for them to remember for a lifetime, and many people in their tribe may not be able to eat such a big fish in this life.
It's easy to see, there are so many big fish in the river, all of them are fat and strong, and it is easy to meet them when they surface from time to time, but seeing and getting them back are two different things, these big fish are much smarter than ordinary fish, otherwise they wouldn't be able to grow so big, and before you get closer, they would have slipped away and disappeared.
Therefore, the Blackwater tribe can only try their luck and throw things at a distance, just like throwing a javelin, but the fish in the water are much more difficult to deal with than the prey on land, unless he is floating on the water, as long as he is slightly shallower, it will be difficult to cause any damage, and even if he is thrown, there is a high probability that he will not be able to penetrate the huge and thick fish scales.
It was not only this big fish that shocked them, but also the two people in front of them turned around, and the people behind them also came in one after another, carrying on their bodies, holding in their arms, and even directly around the waist of the big and small fish, whether it was quantity or quality, it was not comparable to the usual fish catches of the Blackwater tribe.
