It's okay for the children who have participated in this kind of training before, and Shi Meng and they are also a good place specially selected, so it is relatively easy to find, but even so, it is not so easy for Shi Pi to participate for the first time.

So after letting them experience the difficulties of hunting, Shi Meng began to teach patiently.

Compared with hunting, fishing is undoubtedly much easier, and if they don't let them really experience it, it is estimated that many people will think that hunting is also a very simple thing.

After finding the right route, the next step is to set up traps, and there are many types of traps used by Teng Snake, such as traps, lassoes, and spikes, which are commonly used in the tribe.

Larger traps like falling logs, it is more troublesome to arrange, although the power is very powerful, but it is not particularly good for hunting, and it is a relatively low cost performance.

Even if the trap is placed on the path of the beast, it does not mean that it will be encountered in the next few days of hunting, and it is still too time-consuming to set up a large trap, and it is a bit too wasteful if you don't catch it.

After the trap is arranged, the most important thing is to ensure as much concealment as possible, these beasts are not stupid, and even if there is anything wrong along the way, they can detect it, not to mention this bright trap, if you don't use fallen leaves or something to cover it, it will be difficult to work.

Fortunately, there are famous teachers who tutor alone, and the progress of more than a dozen children is still very fast.

In addition to hunting with traps, Shi Meng will also take them to participate in the hunting, of course, the prey that is generally easier to bully is usually selected.

It just so happened that the river water was relatively cold now, and it would be a little cold if I wanted to go into the water to fish, so after Shi Meng and them went back and forth a few times, Song Xuan asked Shi Meng to take more children to experience it in the wild.

This year, because the food is also more prepared, everyone will enter the state of winter half a month earlier than usual.

I have been busy for more than half a year, and now it is time to rest and recuperate in the tribe, and the houses of the captives have been re-strengthened, and a separate house has been prepared for them to hold wood, even in winter, even in the house, they still need to be warmed.

Song Xuan is also asking the stones to hurry up and burn more braziers, so that when the fire is lit, just burn it directly in the basin, so that there is no need to get ashes everywhere.

Originally, Song Xuan was still thinking about whether he could make a kang out, but the current house seemed to be a little unsuitable, so he could only wait for the future when he built a house with bricks, and then slowly pondered this matter.

Fortunately, the environment is only a little more simple, and it is not too cold to stay in the house in winter, after all, there is still a fire, and even at night, the hides are quite warm.

The Shui Yun returned to the tribe twenty days after their departure, just to inform the various tribes, so the pace was still quite fast, and in order to catch up with the trip, unless the time was particularly coincidental, they generally did not rest in other tribes.

This is also not to bother others, after all, according to the normal rhythm, at this time everyone is trying to save more food for the coming winter, up to eight strong men, if you really want to stay, you must eat one or two meals from others, the big tribe is okay, some small tribes may be a little unbearable.

So when they set off, Song Xuan told them to cook and eat by themselves as much as possible, and the food of other tribes was not as delicious as Teng Snake in most cases.

Whether it is ingredients or cooking utensils, Teng Snake must be unique, and there are a lot of mushrooms preserved this year, Song Xuan picked out a few of them that taste particularly fresh, and after drying, they are all ground into powder, and when roasting meat, sprinkle some on the meat, which can also play a role in improving freshness.

Packed in a small jar, it is also very convenient to carry, and soon the people in the ministry fell in love with this simple seasoning, and everyone will bring some with them, a salt jar, a seasoning jar, and a kettle, which has basically become the standard configuration for everyone in the Teng Snake Tribe.

When there were only five days left before the agreed time, Song Xuan called Shi Meng and the others back, it was time to go to the trading conference.

Most of the Teng Snake's cargo has been prepared in advance, and what to do at this time is to put them all on the ship, and the pottery, animal skins, and salt add up to half a ship.

Although it doesn't seem like much, the value is still quite good in this era, and these two hundred or so bowls alone can be exchanged for a lot of things.

However, this time there was definitely not as much as the things brought back in the spring, after all, most of them were prepared to exchange seeds and rare items with the lower tribes.

And at this time, few tribes are willing to take a lot of food out in exchange for this kind of thing that improves the quality of life, and at this time, the first task must be to spend the whole winter safely.

A winter is not impossible to say three or four months, no matter how long it is, and the food of most tribes is just right, and Teng Snake used to barely survive a winter with a hungry stomach.

It's all a fool's dream to get enough to eat, not only food, but some tribes don't even have enough firewood, and even though there are forests everywhere, you have to have time to get them back.

Although even if the snow covers the mountain, it is not impossible to go out, but at that time it is more difficult to get a sufficient amount of wood, with thick snow, it must not be burned with fire, and can only be chopped with a stone axe, not to mention the low efficiency, and the cut back is also wet wood, and it has to wait for it to dry before it can be used.

Therefore, the stronger tribes are generally prepared in advance, Teng Snake is now preparing wood for the winter, and has put several rooms, all of which are specially built for firewood, in addition, there are also some in each room, Song Xuan estimated that just himself, the wood piled up in the corner of the house is probably enough to burn for most of the winter.

The wood that everyone prepared for Song Xuan was the best kind, not only fire-resistant but also about the same length, unlike other people's rooms, which were all piled up in a pile, but directly stacked up, although not neat enough, it was not so messy.

Anyway, it's not particularly busy now, so there are not many people dispatched this time, except for Song Xuan, the three leaders have also followed, Shui Yun and they will definitely have to pretend to be the same as before.

According to the previous rules, there was still a leader in the tribe to take care of the family, but after all, it was this time first, and even if more than 20 people went out, the manpower in the tribe was quite sufficient, and Shi Yu was in charge, so when Shi Meng and Shi Yong rushed to follow, Song Xuan asked them to go together.

As for the other candidates, they are still mainly people who have participated before, there are so many people in the tribe, most of them want to follow the past to join in the fun, and it is definitely not realistic to bring them, so they can only pick familiar ones, so that it is more convenient to communicate with other tribes, at least after getting along last time, they have become familiar.

Under the gaze of everyone, Song Xuan asked Shi Yong to untie the cable and leave downstream along the water.

This is the first time that Song Xuan and several leaders are not in the tribe, but everyone is not too flustered, they are all working according to the normal rhythm, although several leaders are gone, but there is no one in the tribe who is not in charge, and the two witches are there.

Although Wu usually does not have a strong sense of existence, his status is still quite high, before Song Xuan came, the Wu in the tribe could be on an equal footing with the leader, and his status was even higher.

But when Song Xuan came, Teng Snake had no witch, but he replaced this role, although the status was relatively high, but Song Xuan was still the same as everyone, he usually needed to work, but it was a little easier, and everyone who came and went was used to it, so when Shi Jiu and they came back, they quickly integrated in.

But this is only in Teng Snake, the witches of other tribes basically just need to stay in the tribe to rest, and the water witch is similar, at most it is only used to help a little when it is too busy, but after taking the Teng Snake, I am not embarrassed to continue to be idle, and I also began to do some slightly easier work.

With these two people as a town, this is also the confidence of Song Xuan to dare to take several leaders out, although they usually do not participate in hunting, but there is no problem in managing the remaining hundred or so people, and there is enough majesty, even if there is a small problem, they can also control the field.

In addition, Shi Yu was also watching from the sidelines, and there was no need to worry too much about the safety in the tribe, you must know that Song Xuan and they didn't have a bow and arrow, so the combat effectiveness in the tribe was still quite good.

Not carrying a bow and arrow is naturally to hide the strength, this weapon has not been used by the surrounding tribes at present, and it is not difficult to imitate, so it is better not to expose it if you don't leak money.

Before, they had only used a few slings in front of Shui Yun and them, and after they went back, they began to study it, believing that if other tribes saw the bow and arrow, it would definitely be the same consequence, and when they saw fresh weapons, even if they didn't want to demonstrate it at that time, it was estimated that it would be difficult to save face for others.

So it's better not to bring anything, anyway, there are more than 20 people in these two tribes combined, and the overall manpower is also the largest among the tribes, so I'm not afraid of any accidents.

The flood water has long receded, but the houses of the Blackwater tribe have disappeared without a trace, not even a single log has been left, and the original station is now empty.

Seeing that their tribe had completely disappeared, Shui Yun and they were also embarrassed, although they had joined the Teng Snake, but when they thought of what happened before, they also felt a little afraid, if they still stuck to the same place, it was estimated that they would not see hope until they starved to death.
