There is a high probability that the shield and rattan armor will not be useful this year, but fortunately, it is already on the agenda, and it is good to do it slowly after it is fully finalized, and there is still a whole winter in the tribe to make these things, and there will be enough manpower at that time, and there are still many months before winter, so there is no need to be too anxious.

What needs to be done now is to recover all the seeds that have been noticed in the wild before, at least this small piece of hemp near the tribe has begun to mature, and the time is about to come to other places.

Hemp for the snake is still very large, now with animal skin is only an expedient measure, no matter how to cut and divide, without metal knives, it is difficult to do particularly fine, and the animal skin rope is too fine, there is no toughness.

In addition to hemp, some other seeds are also brought back as usual, and it is still the same principle, it is better to miss it than to let it go, except for the things that have been determined last year that are temporarily useless to the tribe, as long as they encounter new species, they all have to be brought back and replanted.

At the same time, Song Xuan also began to investigate the terrain around the tribe, whether it was planting rice or other things, the few acres of land in the tribe were definitely not enough.

Next year, it is estimated that nearly 100 acres of land will be needed just to plant rice, and if it is still temporarily cleaned up like this year, it will definitely be a little too late.

Now get the ground out, the remaining roots in the field have rotted for nearly half a year, coupled with the catalysis of the snake, the effect will definitely be better than this year's.

The flat land near the Teng Snake is not small, and dozens of acres can be cleaned up along the river on the side of the Teng Snake alone, but it is still too troublesome for this long strip to be planted on a large scale.

At present, there are two large areas suitable for planting, one is the downstream of the tribe, and there is a very large flat land along the river for two or three miles, hundreds of acres must be there, and then over a few hills, the flat land can basically be extended into the main stream, which is more wide.

Further down the flat place, there are even more, like the water tribe, there are basically no big ups and downs, and you can toss as much as you want.

Although the area is relatively large, the only drawback is that it is too far away from the tribe, whether it is reclamation and planting, or when the harvest is time, you need to run back and forth, and the rice is not completely unmanageable after planting, usually for the control of the amount of water in the field, as well as the appropriate supplementary fertilizer, are things that need to be taken care of often.

The most important thing is that if you don't put it under your nose, Song Xuan is also worried that the rice fields will be destroyed, whether it is people or wild beasts outside, Song Xuan is not very relieved, especially animals like wild boars, just roll in your rice field, the destructive power should not be underestimated.

Therefore, the most suitable place is actually the flat land on the other side of the tribe, and the area is not small, although it is in the inlet of the river, but the width of the two banks is also four or five hundred meters.

Across the river, the distance from the distant hills is four or five miles, and most of the whole large area can be used.

This place Song Xuan has always coveted very much, because the whole terrain is really good, backed by mountains and surrounded by water on three sides, it can be said to be a natural safe camp, but the only drawback is that it is too troublesome to enter and exit.

When Song Xuan saw this place for the first time, he took a fancy to this place, it was still too troublesome for Teng Snake to go over at that time, and later he also found out that there was no suitable cave in that hill, and the Teng Snake was looking for such a big cave before, it was also an unavoidable thing.

At that time, Teng Snake did not master the technology of shipbuilding, and it was still unrealistic to want to cross the river to hunt, but even if there was a boat, it was very troublesome to row back and forth every day.

So although this place has always been in Song Xuan's heart, it has not been developed, and now he needs to choose a site for next year's rice field, and the first thing he thinks about is the opposite piece.

Although it is surrounded by water on three sides, the overall terrain is not low, and it is not much different from the Teng Snake side, so there is no need to worry too much about the problem of big water.

In any way, this is a good place for planting, and Song Xuan also deliberately wants to open up the two sides of the strait, but if you rely on canoes alone, the efficiency must be a little too slow.

It seems to be a good choice to build a wooden bridge between the two banks, at least for Teng Snake, making a wooden bridge still has the ability.

However, although it is now autumn, it is also the busiest time among the tribes, whether it is hunting, picking fruits, or looking for seeds, it requires a lot of manpower, and except for a few people and children, everyone else in the tribe is engaged in production and construction.

Song Xuan could only take the only few people to the other side first and plan out the approximate place.

The location of the rice fields is still very particular, especially after this year's heavy flood, if it is too low, once the heavy rain continues, there will definitely be a risk of submergence.

But it's not too high, it's not convenient to divert water if it's too high, the rice fields need a lot of water, and now the Teng snake can only rely on natural river water to irrigate, and lead it from a high place to the rice fields.

Although the banks of the river are protected by naturally formed embankments, to be honest, Song Xuan is not very comfortable with such a height.

So after walking a few hundred meters inside, Song Xuan found a more suitable height, at least a little higher than the current rice field.

The approximate area was measured, and then Song Xuan was there. A mark has been made in the depths of the forest, this time it will definitely not be as troublesome as the previous rice fields, and since it is surrounded by water on three sides, there is no need to worry about the fire spreading to other places, just use the focus on the end of the hill close to the hill.

When the time comes, from east to west, directly cut out a fire belt, like something in this range, just burn it clean.

Although the distance between the rivers on both sides is four or five hundred meters, the amount of work that really gets up is about the same as opening up the paddy fields this year, you must know that there are hundreds of acres of land that can be planted in this way, although it can really be planted with confidence, it is only about one or two hundred acres, but it is more than enough to meet the current Tengsnake tribe.

But now with Song Xuan and these two people, there will definitely be no way to get it, first determine the route, and when winter is about to come, everyone will be idle, and then it will be appropriate.

In addition, Song Xuan also began to prepare for the site selection of the bridge, this river, the tribe is still very familiar, except for the middle can be three or four meters deep, most places are only one or two meters deep.

However, for Teng Snake, the only drawback is that the current river is still a little too wide, and the narrowest part is also eleven or twelve meters wide.

If it is only a small river four or five meters wide, a large tree is cut down around the tribe and directly put down, and it is a very good bridge.

But now this width can not be so provincial, in the primeval forest near the snake, although there is no shortage of this kind of tall twenty or thirty meters high sky-high trees, but this height also wants to keep the trunk straight at the same time, but it is a little difficult, and such a tree is often several meters wide, want to cut down and then transport over, it may be a little unrealistic.

Therefore, the safest way is to divide it into two sections, so that each section is only seven or eight meters down, such a tree is much easier to find, and it is not too thick, about half a meter is easy to find.

The technical realization is not difficult, the only thing is to choose a good position to drive piles in the river, one is not particularly deep, if it is too deep, it will be more manpower for the time to pay.

Second, the water flow must be relatively stable, and there can not be too many undercurrent disturbances, and the river flow rate must be relatively slow, otherwise the water flow will be wasted if the bridge is washed down.

So Song Xuan basically took the two of them back and forth, trying to find the most suitable route, fortunately, the small river where Teng Snake was located, although it was upstream of the main stream, was downstream of itself.

The overall flow rate is not fast, except for a few particularly narrow places, the other water flows are relatively stable, so Song Xuan also gave up the idea of building a bridge at the narrowest point at the beginning, anyway, the gap is only two or three meters, which is not too difficult.

It took almost two days and three days, Song Xuan finally chose the address of the rice field and the bridge, especially the bridge, when the time comes, people will have to pass from above, and they will have to go through the river water, it must be safe enough, the most important thing is that Teng Snake has no relevant construction experience, everything is still the same as other things, it all depends on Song Xuan's imagination.

After choosing the address, Song Xuan began to choose wood, according to Song Xuan's idea, it is best to erect the bridge this year, and it cannot be delayed until next year's spring ploughing at the latest.

Because when the time comes, it will definitely not be something that can be completed in a day or two, and more than 100 people in the tribe come and go, and if they rely on these canoes to transport, they will have to go back and forth several times a day.

It's better to prepare the materials now, and when the time comes, the bridge will be done directly, so that it can be used directly, and it is a matter of more than ten seconds to walk through these ten meters, and you can go back and forth as you want.

In order to make the bridge strong enough, the trees selected are also very particular, and they must be tough enough, and the length is as planned, the main trunk should be at least ten meters or more, and it should not be too thick, and the overall control is best within half a meter.

After all, not all large trees grow at the edge of the forest, and if they are too thick, it is not particularly easy to lift them out from the inside.

In order to make it convenient for both sides of the strait to start work at that time, Song Xuan also deliberately went to the opposite side to find suitable wood, anyway, when the time came, a fire was burned, and instead of using it at this time, he wasted such a large area of forest.
