Chapter 108: Burn!
"And they have enough food?"
If the exchange meeting is missed, it will be missed, but there is no second chance to reopen, so many tribes will not reunite again for him, and it is impossible for the sheep tribe to come up with anything good.
"It should be a lot worse!"
"Hey, it's a pity that I asked them to come over, but the leader of Yangyang didn't agree!"
This aroused Song Xuan's interest, and he hurriedly asked what was going on.
Yang Yang wants to be strong Song Xuan knows, and it can be seen from his attitude in the last conference that he is not a strong person, and he will not retreat here with more than 20 clansmen.
This time Shui Yun also had a small episode in the past, when they first arrived at the sheep tribe, there was only one old woman and a few children in their cave, because the two sides had not met, so Shui Yun and a few people broke in in a hurry, but there was a small misunderstanding, they thought it was someone from the Wuyu tribe called.
So after hearing the movement, hurry up and don't block the entrance of the cave, let Shui Yun explain again and again, they couldn't call it away, but fortunately, Yang Yang soon came back with his clansmen, he and Shui Yun are still relatively familiar, and the misunderstanding will be resolved.
Originally, there were relatively few people in the sheep tribe, and the people who participated in the conference were always two or three people, so most of the people in the tribe were not familiar with outsiders, and they were also very wary of outsiders, and the relationship with other tribes was not particularly familiar.
Since their tribe had no accident, Shui Yun also put his mind at ease, but it was late, so he simply stayed in the sheep tribe, and when he saw Yang Yang, their faces were embarrassed, Shui Yun observed the surroundings, and then asked what happened to the sheep tribe.
Shui Yun's first thought was to invite them to join the Teng Snake Tribe, although the news that he had said before would not let others know, Shui Yun finally didn't hold back, and told Yangyang them the news that the Black Water Tribe had joined the Teng Snake.
Yang Yang was still very surprised by this news, after all, in his opinion, the Blackwater Tribe was not particularly small, and there should be no problem in self-preservation, but after hearing what happened to the Blackwater Tribe, he understood, you must know that Heishui even ran away from the house, and the encounter was worse than that of the Sheep Tribe.
However, for Shui Yun's invitation, Yang Yang finally refused, although the two sides had intersected very early, and they both fled after being squeezed by the Wuyu tribe, but they were still very wary of Teng Snake, and if they could survive by joining Teng Snake, then they would not have fallen into such a situation a long time ago.
Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Shui Yun didn't want to say anything more, originally the two were not familiar to that extent, and it was not good to talk too much, but when he left, Shui Yun still left most of the food he brought over to them.
Although Song Xuan gave most of the food for this trip to Shui Yun and them, it was a drop in the bucket here in the Sheep Tribe, and it was only enough for the people of their tribe to eat for five or six days at most, so it still had to be saved, and it was difficult to have a fundamental effect.
"Hey~"
Hearing this, Song Xuan could only let out a sigh.
Although he really wanted to help their tribe, but in the face of such a strong Yangyang, Song Xuan didn't know what to do, and they still had some food saved, Song Xuan could only hope that they could survive this winter.
Let's hope this year's winter won't be as long as usual.
And now it's a bit reluctant to send them food at this time, and it will take more than ten days to say less about this time, maybe the snow will fall one day, you must know that there will be some small snowflakes occasionally now,
Unlike Song Xuan's previous experience, winter in this world will come very suddenly, sometimes there is no prelude, it is directly a heavy snow that lasts for several days, sealing the whole world, like this kind of snowflakes that have already fallen, it is quite an obvious precursor, as little as ten days or more than half a month, the real winter is coming.
Before that, Song Xuan still had a big deal to solve, that is, to burn the rice fields that had been cleaned up.
Everyone is already very familiar with burning forests and fields, and now most of the leaves have withered and yellow, and the forest is also very dry, compared with spring, it is easier to get it, so the next day Song Xuan took the entire tribe to row across the river by boat and came to the place that had been circled.
After confirming that the fire would not spread, Song Xuan asked everyone to start the fire, and there were always people watching the fire, in order to fear that the fire would spread to the past, you must know that in this kind of weather, once the fire starts, it is estimated that it will not be so easy to extinguish in a short time, although it may not burn the snake, but the impact will definitely not be small.
After the fire was lit, it quickly spread, the distance of the firebreak was not wide, looking at the raging fire in front of him, Song Xuan's whole face was baked red.
Fortunately, the wind was quite cooperative, although the wind was not strong, but it still increased the speed of burning, and soon a spectacular line of fire was formed, and the range was slowly expanding.
"Divine envoy, such a large piece of land is used to grow rice?"
Looking at the hundreds of acres of land circled in front of him, even though he already knew the purpose, Shi Meng still asked without giving up, after all, this area is too big.
He also understood why Song Xuan said before that rice could be used as the staple food of the Tengsnake tribe so much in the future, such a large area of rice, it would definitely be harvested a lot, and if it could be eaten, it would indeed be able to replace the tribe's current hunting to a large extent.
However, after tasting a little before, Shi Meng was not very optimistic about it, and now seeing that Song Xuan had made up his mind to do it, he still said what he thought in his heart:
"Divine Messenger, can this rice really be eaten?"
"Yes, it's better to eat this than to fight the beasts every day!"
Song Xuan also knew that everyone might not fully accept it all at once, but compared to hunting, it was still much safer after all, even if the weapon was upgraded several times this year, it was still a common thing to get injured, and compared with hunting, planting rice would be more stable, at least as long as it didn't encounter a special year, it was still quite secure to have food and clothing.
As for everyone's confidence for the time being, Song Xuan is also preparing to take out some of it after winter comes, so that everyone can get used to it.
Although it has been harvested for a long time, Song Xuan has always been very strict, not allowing others to mess around, and not getting some out for everyone to taste.
The most important thing is that there has been no time to clean it up, although it has been taken down, but if you want to eat it has to go through a more troublesome step, that is, shelling, there is nothing mechanized here, you can only use your hands and stones to take your time, even if you know the stone mortar, but it takes time to polish it out.
Teng Snake has not been so busy for most of the past half a month, so even if Song Xuan has this idea, he has not been able to implement it, after all, there are so many people, if you want everyone to eat to the fullest, the amount needed will not be too small, dozens of catties will definitely be wanted.
And until now, there is fresh meat to eat in the tribe, everyone is used to eating fresh barbecue, and the taste is really good, even Song Xuan has to admit that the meat must be more pleasant than rice.
But in the winter it is different, the meat in the tribe is either jerky or pickled, and the taste is not as delicious as before, although each has its own flavor, but compared with the fresh, it is still so much worse after all.
But the marinated meat is very suitable for rice porridge, at least it is very suitable for Song Xuan's appetite, and if it can bring everyone a new experience in winter, it will be easier to accept.
Since Song Xuan had already made a plan, Shi Meng didn't say much, even if it wasn't delicious, it was better than being hungry, and Teng Snake was a little better this year, and he was used to living a hard life before.
Although it may be troublesome for a while, in any case, it is quite good to use this back, and when you really encounter a poor hunting harvest, you can still have something to fill your stomach, and at that time there will be nothing delicious or delicious.
I was so hungry that I had eaten even the bark of the weeds and trees outside.
"Divine Messenger, it's too slow to row every time~"
After rowing back and forth several times, the fiery Shi Yong also began to complain.
After a whole day of fire, everyone was red, but it looked a little cute.
"If it's done here, we'll build a bridge here, and then it'll be convenient to go back and forth!"
What Shi Yong said is indeed a big problem, now everyone is involved, even if it is except for some people and children who remain in the tribe, there are more than a hundred people, and everyone does not want to crowd into the boat, so a boat can hold more than a dozen people, and there are not too many people who can row, at least the women have not practiced, this crosses a small river, and Song Xuan did not let them try to row.
Therefore, the task of transporting people was naturally handed over to Shi Yong and them, and four or five small boats had to go back and forth at least three times to transport all the people back to the other side.
Even if everyone knows how to row, it is not convenient to travel like this, but fortunately, Song Xuan has already planned it, this bridge is finished here, if the snow has not yet fallen, then it can be directly erected at this time.
"Bridge? What is a bridge? ”
But for this new term, most people are still very unfamiliar, after all, everyone used to live in the mountains, even if they arrived here, the surrounding tribes were all relying on boat activities, but no one had ever thought of building a road on the river, after listening to Song Xuan's explanation, everyone understood what Song Xuan was going to do.
However, the first reaction was "this is okay", in the past, there was a small river blocking the way, most of the cases were directly waded through, even when the weather was cold, no one thought that it could cross the river like this, even if there were trees falling directly on the creek, no one thought that they could do the same on the surface of the river.
