This time it was indeed delayed for too long, but fortunately, I had agreed with Shi Yong and them before, and after Song Xuan and them got it done, everyone would go back together.

Yesterday, he sent someone to the hunting place and informed Shi Yong that they would go back to the tribe together today.

Although the two teams of them are separated, they are still in the same area, and the hunting place is not too big, so it is still more convenient to find people, but it is estimated that they will also be a little suspicious of Song Xuan's group after they have been missing for so many days.

Shi Yong and they waited in place, it was more convenient for Song Xuan and his party to go over to find them, and when they saw Song Xuan, Shi Yong and Shui Yun were a little excited to come up:

"Oracle, huh?"

There were many people, and the two of them didn't dare to say it very bluntly, but after seeing Song Xuan nodding affirmatively, they were still very excited.

Although there were many people, Song Xuan still motioned to Shi Meng to quietly open the package a crack, so that the two of them could see the salt of the white flowers.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, excitedly leading people to the tribe, this kind of thing still has to be shared with everyone.

On the way back, Song Xuan also deliberately asked everyone to widen the road a little around, and the road to Yangu was a long one, all of which were on this route, and the road was made more wide, so it was naturally much more convenient to go back and forth in the future.

It's a pity that the current Teng snake does not have the strength to build a special road, otherwise it will be more convenient to pull it with animal power, and now this trail, even if Uncle Deer wants to pass through, it is also a little difficult, and they can only wait for the autumn to see if they can free up manpower.

In the evening, everyone in the hunting team had already returned to the tribe, although there were more than 20 people missing Song Xuan, but due to the long time of going out this time, the harvest did not seem to be much less than before.

It just so happened that Shihua and the others were also in the tribe, so after dinner, Song Xuan announced the news with excitement.

Anyway, the captives have already rushed back to the small courtyard, and they are all their own people at present, and they can't hide it sooner or later, so it's better to say it in advance, so that everyone can be happy and happy, and know in advance that one day can be more happy.

"Is it really salt?"

"Woo woo ~ our tribe finally has salt ~ "

Since the secrecy work was done quite well before, only a few leaders knew about it at the beginning, and even the two Wu Song Xuan didn't let anyone tell them.

So when Song Xuan took out the salt, it immediately caused an uproar in the tribe, and a few people even cried excitedly, they are all old people who have been bullied by the Wuyu tribe for a lifetime, in addition to their strength, there is also a very important reason, that is, they control the mining of salt, and it is difficult for the surrounding tribes to leave them.

Even if they had to move out, everyone has always been shrouded in the shadow of insufficient salt, although the tribe has had nearly half a year's stock before, but they are always worried about what to do when they finish eating, and they are also very afraid of being choked by other tribes again because of this matter.

Now that the tribe finally has its own salt mine, and there is certainly no problem with the production being enough to eat for itself, everyone is excited as you can imagine.

"Divine messenger, when will I go next time!"

……

Everyone wanted to participate in the mining of salt, so they were very eager to ask about the next plan, but Song Xuan and Shi Meng both agreed that they could still hunt now.

After all, the salt in the tribe is enough for everyone to eat for a long time, so there is no need to be too anxious.

After Shui Yun and them joined, Teng Snake's current food gap is still very large, and what needs to be done now is to make up for it as soon as possible, and the winter stock and wintering are a very big test for every tribe.

Although there was no arrangement in the short term, Song Xuan also promised everyone to let everyone take a look as much as possible.

The success of the two cooperative hunts, plus the fact that they brought back some salt this time, was a happy celebration in the end.

Singing and dancing around the bonfire can be regarded as the traditional skill of Teng Snake, and Shui Yun is also the same, and they are very happy to use various dances to express their inner emotions.

Just when everyone was dancing lively, suddenly there was a "woo~" sound not far from the side.

Song Xuan looked sideways, and saw Shi Jiu holding a bone in both hands and putting it to his mouth, and there were several holes on it, and the sound was formed by Shi Jiu blowing the holes above.

What is in Shi Jiu's hand is still a musical instrument, Song Xuan has been here for so long, and it is the first time he has seen this thing, since Song Xuan looked at him curiously, Shi Jiu was also a little embarrassed, and wiped the flute in his hand with his hand:

"God~envoy, you...... Want? ”

Song Xuan naturally doesn't have any musical cells, and he can't sing with all five notes, let alone musical instruments, but he is still a little curious about this gadget in Shi Jiu's hand, but he didn't expect that when he sometimes can't eat enough, he still has the leisure to get a musical instrument to play.

Although he couldn't blow, Song Xuan still took it and looked at it, the bone flute in Shi Jiu's hand was basically similar to the foundation of the later generations, and it was a pipe with a few holes on it.

Although the workmanship is a little rough, but it covers different holes, and the tone that comes out is not the same, although it is not the crooked Mifa Solasi of later generations, but the different tones, with the rough dance, it sounds like a different flavor.

With the music to cheer up, everyone was obviously more excited, and the movements that jumped out became more and more rough.

Although this may not be helpful for production, it is still very good to improve everyone's mood, and life is not always a thing for the Riba people, and it is also very useful to have a sunny spring and white snow.

Returning the ancient flute to Shi Jiu and letting him continue to play, Song Xuan was also hot-headed, and participated, holding hands with everyone and turning in a circle around the bonfire.

This commotion made the captives a little confused, and they didn't know what happened to Teng Snake, which made them so happy.

…………

"Wangcai, come here!"

Looking at Wangcai rolling on the grass, Song Xuan called it to his side again and rubbed it a few times, although he grew up, he was not as cute as he was at the beginning, but the feel was still very good, the soft hair was also very clean after washing, and there was no big smell.

Now that Wangcai has been completely weaned, just throw some bones with meat when eating, Song Xuan even sometimes makes some other things for him to eat, but it seems that the wildness has not been eliminated, Wangcai still only eats meat, and other mushrooms and the like are not interested in it at all.

Although the rice has not grown well, the rape has basically been determined, and the flowers on a few rape are very eye-catching, although Song Xuan is not from the countryside, but the rape flowers are still known.

There is another dish that looks very much like the cabbage of later generations, but there are still some differences in appearance, the plant is relatively small, Song Xuan is not sure, he picked a leaf and tasted it, the taste is slightly astringent, and he doesn't know if it is not ripe or not at all, which can only wait for him to grow up a little more.

As for the other seeds, it doesn't seem to be anything special at the moment, but it is already very happy to be able to find rapeseed, after all, this is the first time to plant, and it has already been planted, you must know that Song Xuan was ready to fail for many years at that time.

Although there are not many saplings in the fruit forest, the place has been cleaned up, and a few fruit trees dug up by them have been planted in the middle, and there are still a lot of fruits around the tribe, such as peaches, apricots and hawthorns, which are relatively common.

Some wild fruits Song Xuan can't name them, but the taste is really very good, the sweetness is relatively high, and now it is time for some wild fruits to start to ripen, and the things eaten in the tribe have suddenly increased.

Although the fruits that grow naturally are not large, as long as you wait patiently for them to ripen, most of them are not delicious, but at least they are not too unpleasant.

Sitting on Uncle Deer and patrolling around the tribe, Song Xuan turned back again.

After so many days of training, Uncle Lu has been able to run around with people on his back, of course, he is certainly not so willing, and he needs some forage as bait, but at least the performance is not bad, and it is not a big problem to sit on a person on a wide back.

Song Xuan said that he also had one hundred and thirty or forty pounds, and Uncle Lu was carrying Song Xuan, but he was only a little struggling, and this was still a long way away.

Although Uncle Lu doesn't look small, except for the huge antlers and slender four legs, where there is really meat, it is estimated that it is about the same as an adult, at most less than two hundred catties, so Song Xuan is already very satisfied with such a load.

At least for now, he can help everyone in the tribe, instead of running around with his three wives and three children all day long, and they can still help in many places.

What Song Xuan wants now is to make some baskets, so that they can be hung directly on the backs of several adult deer, and he can usually help carry more things, like children going out to fish, they can put the fish in the basket and carry it back, otherwise every time they let the children hold and carry it on their backs, although it looks shocking, but it is really not good-looking.

Of course, the best way to make baskets is to use bamboo, there is no shortage of bamboo in the tribe, and it has grown a lot this year, especially after the tribe has cleaned up the miscellaneous trees around it, the area is gradually expanding, give them a space, they will occupy the entire forest, Song Xuan has no doubt about the reproductive ability of bamboo.

Although bamboo is the best material, it is not so easy to make a suitable bamboo strip nowadays, although it can be broken with a stone axe, but the width is not easy to determine, and it is difficult to cut it thinner.

Although rattan is not as concentrated as bamboo, it is also widely distributed near the Teng snake, and many things that everyone eats are their rhizomes.

Song Xuan also asked Shihua to bring some fresh ones when they came back every day, and there were also some in the tribe that had completely dried up, but the toughness was not so good, at least it was very troublesome to weave.

In Song Xuan's imagination, it shouldn't be difficult to make a simple basket, it's nothing more than a horizontal, vertical, and repeatedly woven into a dense net.

It's not that hard to do, but even fresh rattan is a bit laborious, because each one is interspersed back and forth, and it's easy to do at first, after all, the number is relatively small, but it's a little troublesome later.

But in half a day, Song Xuan and Shi Ban made a basket.

Although the appearance is a little ugly, it can't be denied, and all the functions of the basket can be realized, but it is not as round as Song Xuan imagined.

Of course, this is also the first time to do it and I am not familiar with it, and for the materials, Song Xuan did not explain clearly, most of the stone flowers brought back are relatively thick, and there are very few below the thumb, so only a small part can be used, and it is naturally not good to weave it intermittently.

Fortunately, the production method is relatively simple, Song Xuan just talked to Shi Ban, and he understood.

And he also drew inferences from others and found a relatively resilient branch of the tribe:

"Oracle, can you see this?"

Although I don't know what kind of tree this is, in terms of length and toughness, it may even be better than a rattan, because the branches and willows are about the same, they are more slender, and the thickest little finger is thick.

Shi Ban's trick reminded Song Xuan of Robinson, the legendary figure in the wilderness survival room, and it seemed that he used branches similar to this kind of tree when he first weaved rattan baskets.

Seeing that Song Xuan nodded affirmatively, Shi Ban took the initiative to pick some back, Song Xuan was also completely relieved now, although the people in the tribe did not have much knowledge, but everyone was not stupid, most people only needed Song Xuan a little, and they also knew how to make it, and like Shi Ban, they would draw inferences, sometimes their ideas might be a little better than what Song Xuan had figured out himself.

Soon, a basket that was much finer than the rattan basket at the beginning was made out in Shi Ban's hands.

After Song Xuan took it, he added two strips of animal skin on both sides and carried it directly on his back.

Both the size and weight are very suitable, although it is still a little rough at the moment, but I believe that it will definitely get better and better.

This kind of basket woven from tree branches soon became popular in Teng Snake, especially the stone flowers, they liked it very much, and usually went out to pick wild fruits, digging rhizomes are used in animal skin pockets.

Not much to say, it is very inconvenient to use, especially the fruit, it will not be able to fit after a while, Shihua saw this frame for the first time, so he asked for it softly, and Song Xuan didn't even cover it yet.

Carrying the basket on their backs, their hands are fully liberated, and they don't have to worry about other situations at all, they put a layer of animal skin under the basket, and they can even put it directly into it with their eyes closed after picking the fruit.

Don't worry when you dig something, the soil will dirt the animal skin, although it is not in the way, but there is more soil to clean, and it also increases everyone's weight.

In the face of the huge demand in the tribe, Shi Ban obviously couldn't do it alone, and Song Xuan also found two helpers for him, but these were all selected from the collection team, a person from the Teng Snake tribe and a person from the Black Water Department, even Song Xuan could be regarded as a bowl of water.

The carpenter work in the tribe is not too difficult, it is more about the accumulation of experience, and everyone usually has contact, but it is not specialized, so it is very quick to get started.

Although this person from the Blackwater Tribe is not as familiar as Teng Snake's side, the simple work is still very quick to do, and three people can do it much faster, and they can do three or four a day.

After the new one was made, Song Xuan didn't care about the soft grinding and hard bubbles on the side of the collection team, and still gave priority to the fishing side, after all, they were still children, and it was already very good to be able to help the tribe get some food.

Now that I am busy for a day, when I am lucky, it is possible to have more than two hundred catties, and it is very easy to catch one hundred and forty or fifty catties under normal circumstances, and it is not a problem to meet everyone's consumption of a meal.

Now there are more than 160 people in the tribe, and the daily consumption is not counting those messy things, just counting the meat, it is three or four hundred catties, and these dozens of children can basically ensure that they can catch half of the daily consumption.

If you weren't working outside, the fish and some wild fruits would be enough for everyone to eat for a day.

If you don't add in some of the prey they catch, the harvest is sometimes not as much as the children's.

The two baskets were formed together, connected with animal skin strips in the middle, and a piece of animal skin was draped on Uncle Lu to prevent bruising, so Song Xuan put the basket on it.

Because it was tailor-made, it was quite fitting, and Uncle Lu didn't even feel that there were two more big baskets on his body, but he just flicked his tail a little uncomfortably, and Song Xuan touched his head and soon quieted down.

After putting it on, Song Xuan led Uncle Lu to the fishing place, Uncle Lu's family has always been neat and tidy, basically together.

Fortunately, there are not enough baskets in the tribe yet, otherwise Song Xuan would definitely have hung such two on each of their deer.

"Hey~"

Listening to Song Xuan's treacherous smile beside him, Uncle Lu even shuddered, probably feeling something.

Uncle Lu put a basket on his body, so naturally he couldn't sit, so the heavy responsibility of carrying Song Xuan fell on his eldest wife, and now these deer have adapted to the life of Teng Snake, and sometimes several mothers can be more obedient than Uncle Lu, although Uncle Lu is humane, but sometimes he doesn't give a little profit, he is really very arrogant, and he doesn't pay attention to you at all.

A few females are much more honest.,At first, you may put something on their backs.,And a little temper.,But after getting used to it, basically there's no reaction.,Even if you sometimes pull it out alone, you won't resist.。

It's just that the body size is a little smaller, and it's still a little choking to carry Song Xuan, looking at the mother road that is slowing down, Song Xuan still can't bear to turn down.

But it doesn't matter if you can't carry people, just pull the goods, when Song Xuan captured them back, he didn't think about eating their meat, but he always had to make some contributions to the tribe.

In addition to breeding, it is also very good to pull things up, and Song Xuan even wants to make a few small cars, but the current strength of the Teng Snake may not allow it.

But even dragging some things in baskets is very good, there are not many large items in the tribe, and it is quite okay to help carry the forage they eat by themselves, and pull fish or something.

"Oracle!"

Seeing Song Xuan pulling a few deer over, the children thought that Song Xuan was wandering around again, so they greeted Song Xuan very warmly, and then devoted themselves to the great cause of pulling the net.

First of all, he put Uncle Lu and them aside, and also took the initiative to go down to help.

It is not as good as the resources in the river are still limited after all, and after such large-scale fishing as Teng Snake, there are not many big fish in this section of the river near the tribe.

Now the fishing place is also four or five miles away from the Tengsnake tribe, because the river is much wider, so although the fishing net is a little larger than before, but the catch brought by one net is not even as much as before.

The huge fishing net was pulled up, and there were only two seven or eight catties of fish in it, and the rest were about two or three catties.

The result of going down is thirty or forty pounds, which is already quite good.

Although there are a lot of fish in the river, most of them are concentrated in the deep waters, which is not something that can be caught in the narrower nets of the tribe, and these children are much smaller, and even if the nets can be cast too far, it is difficult to drive all the fish into the nets.

Shi Shui also mentioned whether it would be possible to make the fishing nets a little denser, but Song Xuan thought about it and refused, after all, the current catch was already able to meet the needs of the tribe.

The real food every day is less than a hundred catties, and most of it is distributed to the captives, the staple food on the side of Teng Snake, or other meat.

So although there are not many catches, there is still a surplus every day, which has been accumulated over the years, which is also a large number.

And the most important thing is that this batch of latest fishing nets has been encrypted, and it is basically difficult for fish above a pound to escape, with this kind of resource in the river now, Song Xuan feels that if the fishing nets are dense, it is really too much.

Although the grain in the tribe is not too abundant, it is not to the point where the river has to be squeezed dry, and it is not impossible to catch more fish, and going further upstream or increasing manpower can double the current production, but Song Xuan has never done it, mainly because he wants to use the river as a natural warehouse, and he will get it when there is really an urgent need, and it may be more suitable at that time.

When calculating the grain stored in the tribe before, Song Xuan had never counted the fish raised in the tribe, so it seemed a little less, and now there are not many fish in several large fences in the river, but there are still two or three thousand catties.

And these are all fresh, usually there is fresh fish to eat, you may not think, once in winter, these are the best things to eat.

Now is not the time when the river fish are at their fattest, and when winter is approaching, the fish in the river will be fat and beautiful.
