But the most important thing is that there is no shortage of food, and until this time, about half of the food that has been saved has been consumed.

Although everyone intends to save a little, there are also two-thirds of the usual.

Therefore, even if they are allowed to eat, the food in the tribe is enough for these 1670 people to eat for two or three months, not to mention that there are a lot of fish as reserves.

Although everyone will go out to fish from time to time in winter, the amount is not too much each time, generally one hundred and eighty catties, and they will eat two or three meals at a time.

The fish raised is about half of it, or even a little less.

Although the number is not large, the effect is still quite large, at least to ensure that everyone can still eat fresh things this winter.

As for the animals raised in the tribe, except for the rabbits, the others didn't move much, that is, Song Xuan was greedy and killed a sheep, and the others were still alive and well.

Even if it is a rabbit, the consumption is not large, and it will eat less than forty in almost three months, mainly because the scale is too small, and everyone does not dare to let go of eating, otherwise the more than 100 rabbits will only be the amount of two meals.

Now that the weather is more suitable, and the work is almost the same, Shi Meng's focus is on training.

Now the cooperation between everyone is naturally much more tacit than in winter, especially after the addition of the shield, everyone will pay more attention to the thoughts of the people around them.

Although the captives did not have shields, their weapons were the same as those of Teng Snake, and Song Xuan also agreed, and the shields made next would be given priority to them.

Although they may be used as cannon fodder during the battle, Song Xuan didn't dare to waste it easily, especially since most of the people's hearts were already on Teng Snake's side.

By now, most of the more than 30 captives had formed new families, with the exception of a few who had been left alone.

And Song Xuan has been urging them to complete the task of reproduction as soon as possible, like Gong Yi, they were already pregnant with children earlier, and looking at the size of their stomachs, they should have been pregnant before winter.

The fetters of children are still very obvious, and after having children, they can clearly feel that they will work more attentively, and it seems that they want to become snakes faster.

After all, they can't be captives all the time, and it is helpless for them to become captives themselves, but for their children, being slaves at birth is obviously a very tragic fate, as people from the Wuyu tribe, they have seen too many such things, although the way Teng Snake deals with it is different from that of Wuyu, but no one dares to bet on what it will be like behind.

Although half of them are already from the Teng Snake tribe, the rank is still relatively distinct, and the highest is naturally Teng Snake and Shui Yun, who have been together for nearly a year, and most of them have fully integrated into this collective.

The next thing is naturally Gong Yi, who joined the Teng Snake tribe later, and those who have skills like them are still more valued, and technicians can eat anywhere, especially Song Xuan doesn't want too many people to master the production method of bows and arrows.

Although the others are also from the Tengsnake tribe, they will be treated better in name, and they still live in the original captive courtyard, but relatively speaking, it is not so crowded, and it is good for two or three families to live in one room.

At the bottom of the entire tribe are those who have been captured, especially those who have a poor attitude, and the best of them is the one caught before the winter, even after many rounds of torture, they have not been able to ask for too much news.

Even Song Xuan sent Gong Yi and them to persuade them, but it didn't work well, but fortunately, there were still people who knew him among the captives, and finally knew his name.

Wushi, the name is very in line with his temperament, as hard as stone.

For this kind of diehard, there is naturally no good treatment, and he has always been held in solitary confinement, not to mention the food, which is all some broken bones left by the captives, and he drinks snow water, and even because of the cold weather, he can only directly grab the snow and stuff it into his mouth.

Even Wangcai had to shake his head when he saw what he was eating, although it was very cold in the room, he actually carried it like this, but he was a lot thinner than at the beginning.

Song Xuan saw that this person did not enter the oil and salt, so he gave up the idea of persuading him to surrender later, and when he negotiated with Wu Yuluo in the future, the size was also a bargaining chip.

Until this time, Wu Shi was still imprisoned in the firewood room, and only when Song Xuan remembered it, he would let people loosen his ties a little, otherwise after a winter, all his limbs would definitely be wasted.

However, the harsh conditions also made him have no idea of escaping, and he would struggle to move outside at first, but basically everyone found out, especially Wangcai, every time it was the first to notice the abnormality, and then he woke up Song Xuan, coming and going, every time Wangcai called at night, Song Xuan knew what the situation was.

Later, the weather was getting colder and colder, and even if I occasionally ate a little more, I still shrank in the house.

Although the will is relatively strong, but the head is relatively clear, and at this time of year, a hungry person appears in the wild, and there is no possibility of surviving at all.

Although he can't live a good life in the Teng Snake Tribe, he can still save his life.

…………

The temperature change is still very rapid, but in half a month, the snow has begun to melt, and the snow in the tribe is basically invisible.

However, it is also the most troublesome time, and at night the ground outside freezes, but when the sun rises, the frozen ground melts again, and there is no way to go out.

A group of people were even more aggrieved than when they first entered the winter, and they could only huddle in the house all day long, otherwise as soon as they went out, the animal skins on their feet would inevitably be stained with a thick layer of mud, and they would soon be unable to walk.

First of all, only the bricks burned from the stone can be paved between the main walking houses, although there are a lot of bricks, but it is still too extravagant to pave the road, and if you want to cover the entire tribe with bricks, it is still much worse.

After tossing for such a long time, the stone will burn out twenty or thirty thousand bricks, and if it is really used to build a house, Song Xuan estimates that one or two houses will be used up.

The bricks are kept to have a great effect, and Song Xuan is naturally not easy to use on a large scale, so it can only be a little more convenient for everyone.

We can only wait for the weather to gradually warm up, and when most of the snow melts, the situation will be much better, at least it will not affect the life of the tribe.

The sound of water flowing from the small river outside has also been heard, but there is still a relatively thick layer of ice on it, and the ice accumulated from a winter is still four or five centimeters thick.

Song Xuan was actually very greedy for these ices, after all, in the summer, even if he stayed in the house, he would feel a little stuffy.

Teng Snake naturally has nothing to relieve the heat here, at most take a few leaves and fan it, and the effect is naturally not very good.

Every time it was a little unbearable, Song Xuan thought about how comfortable it would be if there was a glass of ice water.

However, it is obviously difficult to achieve, let alone ice making, and even mining ice at this time to save it until summer, it is difficult to achieve Teng Snake.

After all, it is necessary to dig a very deep cellar, although it is not impossible to pile it by manpower, but the input and output are a little too far apart.

So basically, Song Xuan was greedy again, and he could only watch these ice cubes slowly melt.

It is difficult to hope for ice cubes in the summer, and although it is known that saltpeter can make ice, it seems that finding saltpeter is more troublesome than digging a cellar.

Other things, Song Xuan may still know, as for saltpeter, Song Xuan has only heard of its name, but has not seen its shape, of course, if it is found, Song Xuan's idea must also be used to make gunpowder first, it is definitely a weapon that crosses the ages.

……

Although it is not suitable for human activities outside, animals like Uncle Deer, who have long been unable to stand it, have already thought about going out.

This little hoof played a big role for a while, although it would also be stained with the mud of the four corners, but it didn't affect the action too much, and Song Xuan would often climb on Uncle Lu's back, and the deer would go out for a walk with him.

Since Uncle Lu started his activities, Song Xuan has also relaxed a lot, and finally he doesn't have to stay in the tribe for a long time, and the others have less of this treatment, so they can only watch Song Xuan wander around from time to time, fortunately, this kind of thing has been experienced for many years, and everyone can bear it.

The time has not yet come, and all you can do is wait.
