With pottery, life in the tribe was much easier.

Now everyone can get at least one clay pot, although it is not light to pick up, but it can also meet the daily washing.

Under the leadership of Song Xuan, it has become a habit in the tribe to fill a basin of water every morning and simply wash up, even if it is perfunctory, it will pretend to rinse a few times.

Of course, the better learning is naturally the same as Song Xuan, brushing his teeth with some salt from a branch.

Especially the children in the tribe, Song Xuan still put forward certain requirements for them, they still have to brush their teeth twice a day, especially in this season, there are a lot of sweet wild fruits, and if you don't take care of them after eating, it will hurt your teeth very much.

But no matter what, after all, it is a primitive society, eating is relatively simple, and the dental situation is not as bad as that of later generations.

Song Xuan simply counted the pottery used by the Teng Snake Tribe, and it was estimated that there were more than the surrounding tribes combined.

There's no way, this is also not allowed by strength.

Who said that only Teng Snake has mastered the production of pottery!

Clay pots, clay bowls, and clay pots are almost all per person, but this kind of single pot, to put it more appropriately, is still a larger bowl, and when the product is more abundant, you can hold more things, and you don't need to run back and forth when eating.

The bowls in the tribe are more used when drinking soup, of course, the size is not small, and it is not a big problem to hold one or two catties of water.

The pottery will then wait for the stone to find out its more detailed proportions, and it should not be mass-produced before this, after all, there is a better direction, and it is a waste to do more now, and the inventory in the tribe is enough to meet one or two exchange conferences.

In addition, when the time comes, it will be eliminated, and it will be a large amount.

Song Xuan's requirements for all kinds of things in the tribe are not just enough, if he can do better, it must be as perfect as possible.

Science and technology is the primary productive force, although in a primitive society, but the truth contained in this is not only not smaller but very important, even a simple breakthrough, can achieve a leading position in various tribes, at least Teng Snake is now the absolute lead.

Now that you have eaten the sweetness, you naturally have to keep it up.

After all, the technology mastered by the tribe is still in its initial state, and many things like firing pottery to make bows and arrows are just that other tribes have not thought of a better way, not that they don't know this principle yet.

By chance, maybe one day it will be discovered, and if the snake is still stagnant at that time, then there will be no advantage.

But fortunately, the leading state of Teng Snake is still very obvious.

Although the weapon does not look much different from other tribes, the materials used for bows and arrows are the best, and the craftsmanship of all links is already very perfect, even if it is a volume of four or five people like Teng Snake to ponder and make, it took nearly a year to reach the peak, and it is not so easy for other tribes to catch up.

Now although the bow and arrow are still made, but the speed is not as rushed as before, it is more about upgrading the ones that were not done well before, and the beast tendons were relatively lacking when they were made, and some bows were still drawn from some not very strong beasts, and the strength of some bows was naturally more general, although it could also be used, but after this year's accumulation, it could be completely replaced with a better one.

These bows and arrows were used by the women and children of the tribe, who were not so much in need and less powerful.

Now, most of the people in the tribe already have bows and arrows, except for the captives and the newcomers of the sheep tribe, of course, the captives are naturally worried that some of them will secretly leak secrets, after all, a few people have not been able to completely surrender to the Teng Snake.

Yangyang they are completely due to the time of coming is a little unlucky, when they joined the Teng Snake, it has already passed the training days, and the body is relatively weak, so they just let them use the children's practice to practice their hands, and the training time is not long, naturally they have not fully mastered it, and then they joined the hunting team, so naturally there is not much time for practice.

Of course, the hunting party does not need so many archers for the time being, which is also a very important reason.

But even so, most of the people in the sheep tribe have now mastered the use of bows and arrows, but the accuracy is slightly worse, and I believe that after slow training, it should also improve.

Now they are still responsible for the production of bows and arrows, but basically only a batch comes out a month, in addition to replacement, although some have also been made, but they have not been assembled, after all, once the bow is assembled, if it is not used for a long time, it will have some impact on the strength.

So these are all waiting to be assembled later when needed, anyway, the bow arm bowstring has already been built, and assembling it is just a set of things.

However, although there are many details for the optimization of the attack, there is not much improvement in the killing distance, even if it is the best bow in the tribe, if it is fully pulled, it is at most a distance of eighty or ninety meters, and if you want to ensure enough lethality, it is even only fifty or sixty meters.

If you go any further, it's okay to deal with some animals with not so thick fur, and it's basically not lethal to large animals, and it's very difficult to even penetrate their fur.

Of course, when hunting in the tribe, it is basically carried out at a distance of twenty or thirty meters, so there is a very high guarantee in terms of accuracy and lethality.

But in any case, this distance is already the limit that can be reached in this era, although the javelin is powerful enough, but if you want to ensure accuracy, it is generally only a few tens of meters, although the slings are farther, but for those who are prepared, the lethality is not so great, of course, the intensive attack is definitely not in this category, no matter how to dodge, it is difficult to dodge.

Most of the battles in this era are hand-to-hand, and there are not many tribes that can even let go of the javelin like Teng Snake, after all, for most tribes, javelins are also very precious things, and it takes a lot of effort to make them, and the hunting team of ordinary tribes is only one or two on average, and it will not be like Teng Snake Everyone will bring at least five of them.

In such cases, bow and arrow slings are very useful.

However, the bow and arrow Teng Snake may still be relatively well hidden, but Song Xuan estimated that the other tribes already knew that there was such a thing, and it depended on whether anyone wanted to make a few of them, just like the Blackwater tribe at that time.

However, Song Xuan is not worried, after all, the slings are very simple to make or use, the only difficulty is above the projectile, although ordinary stones can also be used, but once thrown far, the quasi-head is not so satisfactory, if you can't make pottery pills on a large scale like Teng Snake, you can only look for relatively smooth pebbles from the river beach, but no matter what, it is definitely not as convenient as making pottery pills.

Song Xuan even felt that this could also be used as a selling point of the Teng Snake Tribe, although the slings could be learned by them, as long as they did not master the firing method of pottery, the pottery pills should also be very attractive to them, and when the time came, the price could be set a little lower, no matter how small the mosquito was, it was meat.

Song Xuan basically handed over the production of weapons to Shi Ban to be in charge, and he went to see the progress of the production every once in a while.

Although he is called a divine messenger by everyone, Song Xuan is basically the responsibility of the new tribal leader, and the original leader Shi Meng has been weakened, of course, there is also Shi Meng, who was also the reason for chasing ducks on the shelves at the beginning, and at the same time, Song Xuan has a lot of things in his head that are ahead of this era.

And after all, he was also an executive of a multinational company before, and he was also in charge of thousands of people, so the hundreds of people who Teng Snake were not a problem at all.

However, Shi Meng has never been a little dissatisfied with such a change, and the hearts of the entire tribe are still very neat, and they all have only one thought, that is, to build Teng Snake better.

Although Song Xuan has assigned all the big and small things to others to manage, he will also master the progress, although there are some things, Song Xuan may not be proficient, but sometimes even if he comes up with an idea, it may have a very big effect in the tribe.

Just like the recent bone pottery, although Song Xuan is not clear about the proportions and production methods, it is just an occasional flash of inspiration, although it has gone through twists and turns, and it took more than half a year to have a sample, but there is still some progress.

"Oracle!"

Seeing that Song Xuan had come to the house, Shi Ban also hurriedly shouted.

However, he did not let go of the work in his hands.

After the beginning of spring, the tribe has been relatively busy, and a lot of time has been spent on reclamation and planting, and Shi Ban has also joined in, so at the beginning of the two months, there was basically no new thing to make, after all, he still needs to guide the use of the plough on the side when reclamation.

That is, he was a little idle in the past two months.

Now the rattan armor is being made, after many improvements, the rattan armor has been basically finalized, although the main body is still a vest woven from branches, but the details have also been optimized a lot.

And if you want to have the most complete defense, you must have to arrange the shoulder armor and skirt armor together, of course, after many discussions, Song Xuan and Shi Ban agreed that the current conditions are still only a cuirass.

The main thing is that the rattan armor is relatively much more troublesome to weave, and even the stone class will take nearly two days to make a complete cuirass on average, not to mention the others, and the speed is even slower.

Naturally, Shi Ban couldn't spend all his time making rattan armor, so he had made it up to now, and the six of these rattan armors had already been distributed to everyone in the hunting team.

Now the people of the hunting party are more likely to be only covered by a fur skirt, although it is cool, but it is also easier to get injured than wearing clothes, especially. When you encounter a fight with a beast, although there are not many scenes, it is inevitable that you will still encounter it.

With the rattan armor, at least the core part can be protected.

However, although everyone is very interested in rattan armor, they don't seem to like wearing it, and if it is padded with a layer of animal skin, it is no different from covering it in that weather.

But if you don't pad the animal skin, you will also be very panicked, and your body will be uncomfortable when you run a few steps, even this group of primitive people with rough skin and thick flesh can't stand it.

Song Xuan didn't have a good solution to this, so although he had rattan armor, the people he got it didn't wear it much, and he would show off in front of everyone if he was interested by chance.

However, rattan armor is not originally prepared for hunting, everyone has been hunting for so many years, and has experienced ups and downs, and compared with before, now the conditions have improved a lot, with a shield bow and arrow, the probability of injury has been greatly reduced, whether there is a rattan armor or not, the improvement is not obvious, and it doesn't hurt to wear it or not.

The rattan armor is more prepared for future wars.

Not everyone can hold a shield in one hand and a weapon in the other, and most people need to work with both hands.

Especially those who use spears in hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, a rattan armor that can effectively defend against enemy weapons is very useful.

However, according to the current output, if it wants to be fully popularized, it will take a lot of time, even if the efficiency of the bow is improved, then it is only one or two pieces a day, which is still the result of full production.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry about the raw materials for making rattan armor in the tribe, although it is not rattan, but this value has basically replaced the effect of rattan, and it is very easy to find the tribe, and there are many around.

You can just get a whole bunch of them back. Anyway, it's not something that needs to be used in a hurry, just let Shi Ban and them do it slowly, if the tribe is only defending now, as long as the manpower is there, Song Xuan is not in other tribes, even if this tribe is Wu Yu.

As for attacking other tribes, Song Xuan had no intention of doing so for the time being, after all, the existing manpower was not large, and even if it was to invade a small tribe, there was a very big risk.

Not to mention one of Teng Snake's most powerful enemies, the Black Feather Tribe, the defense is okay, but if he can attack, even if he has a bow and arrow, Song Xuan is not conceited, and he can win the Black Feather with this manpower.

Fortunately, after last year's battle, there was not much friction between the two sides, although a few people were still sent over to reconnoiter in winter, but there was no movement after the beginning of spring, and I don't know if the few people who fled died on the road, or the Wuyu tribe just gave up.

But in any case, it is always a good thing for Teng Snake that they don't do it, although the initiative is in their hands, as long as they don't do it for a day, they give Teng Snake an extra day to grow.

Although both sides hate each other's itchy teeth, but now they are full of tacit understanding.

But Song Xuan also knew that this state would definitely not last too long, after all, Wu Yu had already mastered the location of the Teng Snake, maybe one day he would bring someone over, if everyone in the hunting team was in the tribe's hobby, but once the manpower was dispersed, the tribe would be very dangerous, so it was necessary to speed up the development.

Only by taking precautions can they survive in such a treacherous environment, so Song Xuan is also asking Shi Meng and them to find some better caves in the surrounding mountains and forests.

It's best to be able to live for dozens of people, so that in case of an emergency, the snake can also have a place to go.

Although Wu Yu had not yet come over to invade, Song Xuan had prepared for the worst, but so far, he had only found two more suitable ones in the surrounding mountains.

The cave is only forty or fifty square meters in size, barely able to accommodate twenty or thirty people, and the next step is to renovate these caves, in addition to hiding the entrance of the cave, there must also be some food and dry firewood stored inside.

In this way, once the Teng Snake encounters an unstoppable enemy, the first time must be to find a way to preserve the strength, instead of fighting hard as last time, the Teng Snake at that time has just stabilized, there is nothing in the tribe, and there is not much left in the family, and there is still a sigh of relief in the chest.

It is not easy to survive if you escape, it is better to fight to the death, fortunately, Song Xuan commanded properly, plus the Wuyu tribe, a group of fools got into the woods, relying on a fire and a sling, with only a small number of casualties, and fought a very beautiful battle of annihilation.

But now Teng Snake's family background and strength are like this, it is obviously a little irrational, as the so-called staying in the green mountains is not afraid of no firewood, as long as people can earn it back soon.

And as long as these caves are renovated, even if the tribe is evacuated, there will be a place to live for a while.

For the surrounding mountains and forests, the Wuyu tribe is definitely not as familiar with the Teng Snake, as long as they can't surround the Teten Snake at the first time, or kill it on the spot, otherwise the Teng Snake people will drill into the mountain, and it will not be so easy for them to catch up.

However, although there is this possibility, the main development must still be on the tribe's side, such caves are more like spare, if there is no accident, Teng Snake will not have much loss, it is nothing more than the manpower consumed to carry materials back and forth.

Song Xuan also had requirements for the cave, and basically asked Shi Meng to find one day to reach, so it didn't take too much manpower.

As for those materials, as long as the cave is sealed, there will be no loss, after all, the caves that can live in people are relatively dry, and there is no difference between putting them in them and putting them in the warehouses of the tribes.

Although the two existing caves have only been found for a long time, more than half of the people in the route tribe already know about them.

The next thing that needs to be done is to transport some food over, although the current grain in the tribe is not enough to meet the needs of winter, but it is almost enough, Song Xuan plans to store in each cave what it can hold for a month.

If they were all small caves like this, there wouldn't be too many.

Although it is a little troublesome, who is called Teng Snake in the dark and Black Feather in the light, it is definitely not a bad thing to make more such preparations.

Of course, this can't affect the normal life of the tribe, and it is certainly not appropriate to invest too much manpower in this area.

Song Xuan also tried his best to find a balanced state, and if a cave like this was to prepare three or four, it would be almost the same.

After all, this is also prepared for the situation that the hunting team and the gathering team are not in the tribe, once the tribe has enough manpower, although it is not possible to attack and destroy the enemy like last time, but there should be no problem with siblings, after all, everyone is a soldier in this era.

Even women and children have very good combat effectiveness.

Seeing that the people in the Shi class were still busy, Song Xuan also studied on the side, after all, he didn't have much work to do most of the time.

I even went out with the hunting team in the past two months, of course, this time there was no such good result as last year, just followed the hunt normally.

Capturing beasts alive and even bringing them back in a litter like Uncle Lu is basically an unavoidable thing, and it can only rely on luck, of course, although he couldn't bring it back alive, it must still improve Song Xuan's combat effectiveness.

Although Song Xuan can be said to be relatively proficient in all kinds of weapons, actual combat has always been the part he lacks the most, mainly because everyone protects him relatively well, basically not giving him any chance.

In this case, it is a very good exercise to go hunting, although hunting is very physically demanding, but Song Xuan also persevered, and tried all kinds of weapons, and still learned a lot.

Of course, if he went out hunting, Song Xuan had no experience to talk about, and he completely followed Shi Meng's command, although he said in advance that he should not be treated specially, but Shi Meng definitely did not dare to put Song Xuan in the most dangerous place, and more let Song Xuan follow Shi Yu and release arrows on the side.

After shooting, he surrounded him with other people, and the body of the person who was shot directly was collected on the spot, and those who still had combat effectiveness surrounded him and slowly consumed it, as for those who still had the ability to run, they could only fight with them for speed.

Although Song Xuan was fully prepared, he was still injured while hunting, of course, this was not caused by contact with wild beasts, it basically happened when chasing wild beasts, and he was scratched by something like a tree branch.

With the existing hunting methods in the tribe, few people are directly injured by wild beasts.

Of course, it is not without exception that the hunting team encountered a group of fierce wild boars who are not afraid of death, and I don't know if it was because Shi Yu shot and injured important people in their group.

After discovering that the hunting team attacked them, not only did they not flee, but launched a charge, which directly made the hunting team disappear.

Some people who can't dodge are also injured a lot, and even have broken bones, but fortunately, just a broken finger does not affect their movement. This is also the most serious injury that Teng Snake has suffered this year.

Compared with other tribes, the situation is still very good, after all, even if it was a snake in the past, this kind of injury was only a minor injury.

As for the death of the hunt, there is no one, in addition to the better weapons, of course, there is also the reason that everyone tries not to provoke those hordes of ferocious beasts, and now the most important thing for the snake is to try to increase the population, the more people there are, the stronger the tribe will be.
