Instead of acting as a group, the gathering team split into two teams, one to go to the mountains and forests a little further away from the tribe, while the other team searched for food near the tribe.

In addition to the increase in manpower, it is also because Song Xuan now has a new plan for the tribe, as for those who go farther, let them continue to pick wild fruits in the mountains, and those who are closer can let them come over to help at any time.

Although the weather is getting warmer, there is not much ripe fruit outside.

Fortunately, last year, I found a lot of things that can be eaten, all kinds of wild vegetable rhizomes, even if they can't be used as staple food, they can be matched to fill the stomach, and by the way, they can also improve the taste.

Although gathering cannot satisfy the consumption of the tribe in normal times, it is also an indispensable part, and no one can stand eating meat alone.

The tribe has added a lot of people this year, but the house has not been able to expand.

So much so that the newly married couples are still huddled with their parents, and now that they are not so busy, it is time to get a few houses for the people of the sheep tribe and the young people.

Song Xuan originally wanted to use these houses as a pilot and build them directly with bricks, but after thinking about it, it was still too troublesome, but it was not as fast as directly using wood.

Although the bricks are also ready-made, they must take a long time to practice for a group of people who are not very skilled, and now they are just a little less nervous than before, and they are still very busy overall.

Everyone has a lot of experience in building this kind of house in the tribe now, especially there is a lot of wood in the tribe now, which was prepared last year.

Although most of the trees in the rice field were burned by fire, the useful Shi Ban also brought back a lot of them, and Song Xuan mentioned it to him after the beginning of the year, and then he also deliberately collected some more existing wood and built a dozen houses, which was not a big problem.

Most of the men of the sheep tribe went out with the hunting party, and when they returned, it was probably a big surprise.

The progress of building the house is still very fast, there are two houses in one day has reached the stage of capping, the roof is naturally a combination of thatch and grass mud, and after the autumn harvest of the tribe, you can use straw to replace part of it, of course, the best must be the brick structure, but it is estimated that there is still a long way to go.

After the spring of the stone, it was put into burning bricks, but because it was relatively busy, it could only be burned once in a few days, so the progress was not fast, and so far it has burned 10,000 or 20,000 pieces.

With the previous one, it is estimated that it can barely build two or three rooms.

Moreover, Song Xuan is going to use these bricks to make a wall first, the defense in the tribe is the most important thing, but if you live in it, although the existing house is not perfect, there is really no problem with sleeping it.

Now the stone can be regarded as freeing up time, and the speed has been sped up a lot by the stone pottery to help him.

Thirty or forty men had worked for five days to build twelve rooms, and now only the grass and mud were left that were not yet completely dry, but a fire had already risen in the house, and it was expected to be ready for occupancy soon.

"Divine messenger, there is not much salt......

"There are only two jars left"

Just as Song Xuan was busy setting a fire in the house, Shi Yan suddenly ran over to Song Xuan and said.

However, Song Xuan ignored this matter, and remembered it before planting rice, but he was busy and forgot that the salt mined last year was not much, and after a whole winter of consumption, plus after the beginning of spring, there was not much left.

Originally, I thought that after I was busy with rice, I would bring people over to mine another batch of rice, but fortunately, the remaining two jars were enough for the tribe to eat for ten days and half a month, and it was too late to go out now.

If you just eat it, the salt is still very durable, but it can't withstand all kinds of pickling in the tribe.

Every day, the salt consumed in the tribe when cooking is only half a bowl, and it is only half a catty, everyone's staple food is meat, relatively speaking, there is still some salt, and the taste is not so heavy, and the daily consumption is not much.

But if you want to add hunting and fishing, there is a lot of salting and preservation, even if you save it again and again, you still have to ask for two or three bowls a day.

However, seeing that it was also the day when the hunting team was about to come back, Song Xuan still decided to wait a little longer, although there was no shortage of manpower in the tribe now, it was more reassuring to send a hunting team for such a long journey, especially at this time, the beasts were very active, there were already a lot of beasts around the salt valley, and it was still a little dangerous to send other people there.

The most important thing is that several stone mortars were prepared for the crushed rock ore last winter, and the weight of these stone mortars is not light, and it is really difficult to get there without some strength.

Two days later, Shi Meng came back with someone.

"Hey, sheep, your houses are all built!"

As soon as he entered the tribe, Shi Meng found the changes in the building, and there was not much space left in the tribe, and more than a dozen rooms appeared, which was naturally very conspicuous.

This is obviously for Yangyang and them, although they urgently built a few rooms after they came, but the number is still too small, only a few families can get together, although the people of the Yang tribe have long been accustomed to this kind of life, but who doesn't like a separate room.

Seeing the new house, the people of Yangyang were still very happy.

"How about going out this time?"

Song Xuan looked at Yang Yang not far away and asked Shi Meng.

"Yes, God's envoy, Lao Yang can lead the team directly!"

It seems that not only is there no problem with hunting, but the relationship between several people has also taken a step further.

Although Yang Yang and the others said that there were still obstacles, there was no problem with listening, so it was not a big problem to go out to communicate, and they still relied more on gestures and various onomatopoeia when hunting.

To be able to lead the tribe of such a small number of people to persist until now, Yang Yang must also have two brushes, and at most he came to Teng Snake was just a weapon that was not suitable for this side, and at that time, he was still assigned a position that they were better at, which was not a problem for him.

However, as for leading the team alone, even if the ability is okay, but there is no such condition in the tribe now, so you can only wait a little later.

And Shi Meng also said that the body of these people in the sheep tribe is still okay, after more than two months of recuperation, it is not a problem to keep up with the rhythm of everyone, of course, there is also snake hunting, which is not as rough as before.

In the past, the snake hunted only on two legs, and if it win, it was the beast in hand, and if it lost, there would definitely be nothing.

However, with bows and arrows and slings, you can inflict a lot of damage on beasts at first, and although you also need to chase them, both the distance and speed will be much smaller than before.

Especially with bows and arrows, the continuous damage is not blown, and the smaller animals are fatally injured and can't run far before falling directly.

This kind of strength is naturally not a big problem for Yangyang, Yangyang was originally the leader of a tribe, and the scale of the Yang tribe was not small before.

Such a talent, Song Xuan must not give up, even if the manpower is not very sufficient now, but Song Xuan still asked Shi Meng to pay more attention to it, according to the standard of numbers, Yang Yang's ability will definitely not be worse than Shi Meng.

You must know that Yangyang is a tribe of hundreds of people, and his hands are not like Shi Meng, who was completely selected by the tallest one among the dwarves at that time.

Of course, there is no problem for Shi Meng to be the leader now, although he still seems a little naïve among the tribes, but once he enters the hunting state, he is also in control.

"Meng, take someone to mine salt tomorrow......"

"Okay, oracle, the team ......"

Although the team has just been re-formed, Yanba is definitely more important to Teng Snake, fortunately, most of the previous manpower is in Shi Meng's team, Song Xuan thought for a while and said:

"Let's do the same as before!"

Generally, Shi Meng would not have any meaning in Song Xuan's arrangement, but this time he seemed a little hesitant, although Song Xuan saw it, he did not ask directly, seeing that Shi Meng did not answer, but ate the meat slowly.

Sure enough, after thinking for a while, Shi Meng said:

"Divine envoy, why don't you let Yang Yang take it, it's not good for everyone to cooperate if they are always messing around......"

What Shi Meng said is indeed a problem, the cooperation of everyone is still very important when hunting, and the existing three squads are also expanded from the previous team, and no major changes have been made.

This has just been formed, and they have to be stuffed into other teams, and they will have to return again after the salt is returned, so it will still have a big impact on the cooperation in the team.

There are not many people on the hunting team's side who need to follow the salt mining, that is, only ten people, and nine of them are in Shi Meng's team.

In other words, there are still fifteen people left, although it is less than the other two groups, but there is no problem at all with the hunt, and in this case, it is better to let them continue to hunt than to break up.

In fact, the people in the tribe who can lead the team are not without Shi Zhuang on the side of Teng Snake, although his brain is a little wooden, but hunting is not a problem, and Shui Er, it is no problem to lead the team to hunt alone, but since they are not the leaders of the Eight Classics after all, it is still a little inconvenient in this regard, but Yang Yang has no worries about this at all.

Originally, he had joined as a leader, and there were still several people from his own tribe among the remaining people, but Song Xuan's only concern was whether he could fully adapt to the hunting method of Teng Snake.

After all, it didn't take long for Teng Snake to come, and it still takes some time to get used to this hunting method that mainly relies on bows and arrows.
