Although reproduction is the second major event of survival in the tribe, the question of whether there is a mate or not is not urgent, especially when there are more men and fewer women in the tribe.

I can only find a way to solve it slowly, although it hasn't been long since I came, but Teng Snake and the surrounding tribes still get along quite well, and they can't rob the people's daughters, so they can only slowly figure it out.

Although Yang Yang and the others had already joined the Teng Snake, due to their poor physical condition, Song Xuan did not let Shi Jiu hold the sacrifice for them for the time being.

Anyway, it's just a ritual thing, and it's too late to knock it down when the physical condition recovers, and the sheep tribe doesn't have a complete sacrificial inheritance like Shuiyun and them, and the existing nineteen people are already the only ones left, as for the witch, he has already died in the confrontation with Wu Yu, and faith is a completely secondary thing for them.

Relatively speaking, the belief on Teng Snake's side, they are naturally more acceptable, anyway, it is a sense of ritual, and the gods are not particularly important to the people of Yangyang, after all, the sheep tribe did not see any help when they suffered so much.

On the contrary, it was the situation on Teng Snake's side that made them very envious, Song Xuan's fall from the sky directly changed the situation of Teng Snake, although it was also forced to relocate, but now Teng Snake is also living a prosperous life, and it is not even worse than the original.

So when Teng Snake accepted them, although no ceremony was held, Yang Yang still took his own people and bowed reverently to Teng Snake's totem.

Their main task is to recover their health, but they certainly can't just lie down in the tribe, and they will also come out and do what they can.

After the food was sufficient, although Yang Yang and the others still seemed a little weak, they could still help with some light words, and even Yang Yang had to come over to help dig the roots, but Song Xuan still refused, this task was still relatively heavy.

In the end, however, the task of burning was given to them, and although it was not troublesome, it was very laborious, especially after being moistened by the snow, even after more than twenty days, the roots of the trees in the ground were still damp.

If you want to burn it cleanly, you can only come over from time to time to add some firewood, although it is very troublesome but not too tired, so it is better to hand it over to Yangyang and them.

In addition, the people who returned to Yangyang were also working hard to learn the way of communication of Teng Snake, and their intentions were even much better than the level at that time, every time they saw Yangyang learning how to speak to him, Shui Yun felt a little blushing, after all, if it weren't for the intensive training this winter, he would probably be a little better than Yangyang and others.

After a few days of busy work, the bear tribe finally sent someone over to inform the time of this year's exchange conference, which was a few days later than in previous years.

But fortunately, the venue is not far from Teng Snake, only about four days away, and it will be reached quickly, and the notice time is also 20 days later.

The snake side also had plenty of time to prepare, and although the seeds had been received in late autumn last year, there were still deals that could be made.

And no matter how much they collected, Song Xuan also made a guarantee at that time, that is, they would receive all the orders, and they would also send out some people in the recent period, whether it was ore or seeds, they would encounter some at that time, no matter how small the mosquitoes were, they were also meat, especially the seeds, and they could be planted soon after they were recovered.

And there is another very important thing this year, that is, to determine the origin of the limestone, the limestone was turned out of the package of the kite tribe at that time, so this time naturally I have to discuss it with them.

Song Xuan can only hope that the iris will not open his mouth when the time comes, although limestone is not particularly important, it is not something that Teng Snake must use, but it must be a good thing for Teng Snake's building, so as long as the price is reasonable, Song Xuan must want to fight for it.

Although this is also something that has been said before, no one will know whether the situation of sitting on the ground will happen at that time.

Of course, the most important task of this trip is to find a mate for the three children of the tribe, there were originally seven people, but it just so happened that two of the girls were from the Heishui tribe, although the two tribes had formed a tribe, but after all, there was still no blood relationship, so Song Xuan and Shui Yun combined it, and let them find two mates on Teng Snake's side.

Song Xuan didn't use a mandatory method for this, although he would definitely have to form a family when he was old here, Song Xuan still felt that if the principle remained the same, it was still appropriate for everyone to choose by themselves.

So after explaining the situation and the situation, a small blind date was held in the tribe, and the objects were naturally the few people who were about to become adults.

The difference with Song Xuan's understanding is that adulthood on Teng Snake's side has two meanings, one is that the age has reached the requirements, and the other is that the most important thing is that it is considered a real adult after forming a family, so although these children have reached the age standard, they are not fully adult in the tribe.

After all, they have been getting along day and night for more than half a year, and they still have a certain affection for each other, especially for the two girls, it is definitely better to be able to form a family with someone from Teng Snake's side than to marry his tribe far away.

You know, once you are paired with other tribes at a blind date, the girl usually has to go with the boy's tribe.

If this is placed in other tribes, it naturally doesn't matter, after all, everyone's living conditions are similar, but Teng Snake's side is better than the average tribe, not only don't worry too much about food, but at the same time, various living facilities, among the surrounding tribes, are also in a top-notch state.

There may be a few tribes that can compete with Teng Snake when it comes to eating, but there are few in terms of quality of life, and Song Xuan also painted layers of cakes for everyone, for everyone, life is hopeful.

But in this way, it is the stone on the side of Teng Snake who feels wronged, there is no adult male on Shui Yun's side, she is naturally alone, the most important thing is that although there are single men in the two tribes, the age gap is a little too big, in this era when the average age is only thirty or forty years old, the age gap is too big, and it is obviously not a good thing.

Therefore, Shi Duo still has to participate in this blind date conference, and Song Xuan can also see that Shi Duo's mood has not been too high in the past few days.

After all, once she participates in the blind date conference, then she will definitely have to leave Teng Snake at that time, and her feelings for Teng Snake Shiduo are also very deep, even if she is asked to join the most powerful kite tribe around, she is probably unwilling.

Song Xuan also learned that after a woman formed a family with other tribes, the man had to compensate the woman to a certain extent, although from a long-term point of view, it was basically able to maintain a balanced state, but in a short period of time, it showed that the tribe where the woman belonged suffered more.

So compensation is very necessary, but for the snake, these compensation is nothing, generally just some food, but for food, the snake is not too lacking.

Therefore, Song Xuan also has another idea, that is, to see if he can let Shi Duo come back alone, it's just a big deal to make more compensation to Teng Snake, if the situation of the tribe is not too good, obviously there are still many people who are willing to do this business.

However, it is unknown whether the surrounding tribes can accept this plan, after all, it still breaks the rules a little.

The specific situation can only wait for the time to act.

Since the people of the Bear Tribe had already notified Teng Snake's side, Song Xuan informed him of the news that the Sheep Tribe had joined, after all, the distance of the Sheep Tribe was really a little far away.

In order to conceal this matter and let them run again, Song Xuan also felt a little uncomfortable, after all, the population of the Sheep Tribe is not too large, even if other tribes learn the news, it will not have much impact, in the eyes of most tribes, the demise of the Sheep Tribe is only a matter of time, and the reason why no one took the initiative to come and annex him is still subject to the rules that have been formed for a long time.

If this is placed in a more competitive place, the sheep tribe is estimated to have ceased to exist a long time ago.

After the people from the bear tribe saw the situation of Yang Yang and others, they quickly understood, after all, they were all hungry and thin, and it was understandable to find a relatively strong tribe to take refuge, but what made him still a little dissatisfied was that the sheep tribe did not come to take refuge in them The bear tribe After all, the bear tribe is among the surrounding tribes, and its strength is also the first few existences.

But this is also Yang Yang's own choice, and he can only show some regrets.

After learning the news, several people still expressed their gratitude to Song Xuan, which could at least save them two or three days of time.

As for Shui Yun's situation, Song Xuan was still thinking about not notifying them for the time being, it would be a while to be able to hide for a while, and Shui Yun and their tribe no longer existed, at most it would set off a discussion at the upcoming exchange meeting.

So when he learned that the bear tribe was coming, Song Xuan asked Shui Yun and them not to show their faces as much as possible, although the people were moving in the fields, but the distance was too far, and they kept their heads down, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see it.

For such a large vacant land cleared by the Teng Snake Tribe, the people from the Bear Tribe were also very interested, and they kept looking here when they came over.

It can probably be seen from Teng Snake's large-scale search for seeds that Teng Snake must have planted them, but what he didn't expect was that Teng Snake actually made such a large area, but no matter what, this is not something that he thinks about a little minion, with his status, it is naturally inconvenient to ask more questions.

Although it is inconvenient to ask, he still kept it in his heart, such an exchange, in addition to the notice, naturally also has the meaning of inquiring about the development of other tribes, although it may not be malicious, but the more clear the situation of the surrounding tribes, the better.

Since it was still noon when they arrived at Teng Snake, even if they kept it again and again, the four of them had lunch and rushed to the next tribe again.

However, it will definitely surprise them at that time, after all, the original location of the Blackwater tribe will no longer exist at this time.

After the people from the Bear Tribe left, Song Xuan checked the situation of the materials needed in the tribe, and the food was quite sufficient for the time being.

There is also a considerable inventory of pottery, but it is unknown how much Song Xuan can digest, and the surrounding tribes have not exchanged less in the first few times, at least in terms of scale, at least half of the people have already used the pottery made by Teng Snake.

Of course, in addition to the first time I used a lot of food in exchange, the next few times I mainly exchanged various things.

As for the salt, although there is not too much inventory, there are still some who go out to exchange, and now the tribe is not very manpowered, so it is better to wait for the exchange conference to be completed before mining.

Moreover, Song Xuan felt that with last winter's "sneak attack", if the wolf tribe produced enough, it was estimated that it would not give Teng Snake a chance to exchange food this year.

It was also time for the two sides to face each other head-on, but Song Xuan didn't want to be their enemies directly, after all, Teng Snake still had the biggest enemy of the Black Feather Tribe.

In this area, I still try to get along with everyone friendly, even if I can't form a very good relationship, there is no need to force the other party into an enemy, it's just a little salt transaction, it's better for Teng Snake to be able to exchange some naturally, and it doesn't have much impact if it can't be exchanged.

At that time, the original plan will be adopted, if there is a miss, then try to eat the part that the wolf tribe cannot satisfy, as for the rest of the share, just follow the fate.

In addition, Song Xuan also remembered the matter promised to the Niu tribe at the exchange meeting last year, and he would collect all the livestock Teng Snake that they could raise, and it would be a big expense at that time.

But this naturally will not be all in exchange for food, and if you eat it all, Teng Snake is also a little unbearable, or that principle, in this era, the exchange is not based on what you want, but on what I have.

When the time comes, take some food, and then supplement it with pottery salt and the like, and in last year's transaction, Teng Snake has already advanced twenty bowls of salt in advance, and according to the market price, it can also be exchanged for a few sheep, so Teng Snake can also bear it, Song Xuan only hopes that the Niu tribe can keep some more in exchange.

After taking stock of the tribe's property, Song Xuan took people to devote themselves to the reclamation of the fields, compared with other things, this is the most important thing in the tribe that needs to be completed as soon as possible, after all, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and there will naturally be fewer and fewer people who can be invested in digging the land.

With the help of Yang Yang and others, the speed has increased significantly, after all, there are fifteen adults among them, at least the matter of burning tree roots, there is no need to worry about it anymore.

………………

The recent good weather has given Song Xuan the idea of counting the seeds, after all, he has been in the house for so long, especially after a long winter.

After the beginning of spring, both the air and the ground are very humid, and if there is no brazier in the house, it is very uncomfortable to live.

Although the seeds were all placed in the clay pot and certain moisture-proof measures were also taken, Song Xuan was still a little uneasy, and decided to take a look at them before planting, at least to ensure that the seeds were in a better condition.

These seeds, Song Xuan came back every other month and pulled out a few jars to grab them, the purpose was to see if there was any dampness, of course, this is also to look at his treasure from time to time.

In Song Xuan's eyes, this was more important than anything else in the tribe.

But this time, when Song Xuan pushed the scene inside the room, it suddenly made him a little angry.

“…… Who the did it! ……”

This time, even the foul mouth burst out, and I saw a small jar, and the lid on it was gone.

However, there are a lot of empty rice husks scattered around, and it is obvious that something has stolen the rice seeds.

"Squeak~"

Song Xuan stared angrily at the rice husks on the ground, but there was a slight cry in his ears.

This voice Song Xuan is very familiar, after all, even in the later life, this is also a troublesome scourge, who would have thought that Teng Snake had just made this point and was targeted by this hateful mouse.

Rats have also appeared in the snake, but because the tribe is surrounded by walls, there are not many of them, and the environment of the snake is relatively clean, and all the food remains are generally thrown away.

Of course, there are a few of these things, and they are also shouting and killing, but after killing, they are generally eaten as food.

Song Xuan naturally couldn't accept this kind of behavior, after all, the rats were not clean, but there were still many people who were reluctant to let everyone throw them away, so they simply didn't see it, as for the virus that might be brought, Song Xuan didn't think about it for the time being.

This kind of thing can only wait for the snake to become richer, and then restrain everyone.

At this time, the most important thing is naturally to find these mice, and then completely eliminate them, but I didn't expect that it was just that I didn't come over for more than half a month, and I wasted nearly one-fifth of Song Xuan's jar of rice.

The jar that was originally almost full had already been reduced to a thick layer at this time, and the more Song Xuan looked at it, the more distressed he became.

Listening to the source of the sound, Song Xuan cautiously moved away the various jars and jars in the corner of the wall, and also found the traces of these rice seeds spilled, following this trace, Song Xuan took the trouble to move a large jar, and found that two huge mice were staring at him.

"Damn, this is too arrogant!"

Seeing this tendency, Song Xuan couldn't help but scold angrily in his heart, and casually picked up the wooden stick next to him and knocked it on, but the reaction speed of the two mice was also quite fast.

Seeing Song Xuan's movements, he suddenly rushed to the bottom of other jars, and disappeared in an instant.

Song Xuan also knew that it was a little unrealistic for him to solve them in this situation, so he decisively withdrew from the house.

Shouting at the people in the distance

"Come on, come on, come on!"

How could everyone have seen Song Xuan so angry, even if he faced the black feather people who were several times their own at the beginning, Song Xuan's performance could be said to be quite calm.

Seeing Song Xuan's appearance, everyone thought that something big had happened, and they didn't hear what Song Xuan said clearly, so more than a dozen people came over at once, and they also called friends, beckoning people from farther away to hurry back.

……

"Mouse?"

"Oracle, you asked us to come and fight rats?"

After listening to Song Xuan's words, everyone around them suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Especially the few people who seemed to be in a hurry just now, looking at the resentful gaze cast by the people who hurriedly ran back, it was even more embarrassing.

Several people also reacted at this time, Song Xuan shouted at the time to let the two of them come over, but everyone was frightened by Song Xuan's demeanor.

But they all came, and naturally they couldn't run in vain, so everyone quickly gathered their tools, one person and one big stick, and prepared to rush in and fight with the rats, looking at this battle, they thought that there were dozens of enemies in this house.

"Oracle, how many rats are there!"

Shui Er, who had just come back from the rice field, also looked murderous, and it seemed that he vowed to exterminate the rats inside.

"Two!"

Song Xuan didn't expect that his words could form such a big battle, and he could only hold on at this time, and raised two fingers.

Two is two!

Who called this his dear oracle?

However, looking carefully at the room in front of them, everyone knew that the most important thing stored in this room was the rice seeds in the tribe, in addition to a small amount of food, according to Song Xuan's character, a little food would obviously not be so angry, especially when there were only two rats, the damage that two rats could cause was also very limited, especially when Song Xuan basically checked it once a month.

The only possibility can only be that the rat ate the important seed in the heart of the divine envoy, of course, everyone has long had a consensus on the rice seed, and he didn't taste it a few times, but he was robbed by these stinky mice, and the people who were already a little angry were even more angry at this time, only to see that after the leader Shui Er pushed the door open, a group of people rushed directly in.

Of course, we are not reckless people, there are some experiences in treating this small animal, although there are not many in the tribe, but in the wild, voles can often be caught, although it is not difficult to do this small animal, but the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is to block and all escape routes, otherwise it is easy to let them escape from the small gaps.

I saw that in the small house, six or seven big men rushed in at once, and at the same time, two people were directly blocked at the door, Song Xuan didn't even squeeze in at the first time, but seeing that there were enough people inside, he simply took others to guard around the house and began to check if there were other passages.

Obviously, these rats could not have fallen from the sky, they must have come in from somewhere else, and the house where the rice seeds were kept was close to the hillside behind them, which provided a convenient route for the rats.

The few people who squeezed into the house saw the rice husks scattered all over the ground, but their expressions were the same as Song Xuan's, and they all looked very angry, although they couldn't directly see the existence of mice, but obviously they were crowded in the surrounding corners.
