Although everyone was very energetic when they were harvesting the rice, they really stopped, and the tiredness soon hit, but fortunately, lunch was ready, and after a quick meal, everyone went back to rest.

More than 100 people fought all morning, and if they are counted together, it is estimated that they have cut six or seven acres of rice, although it is not much, but it is already the limit of what everyone can do, of course, the biggest reason for this must be that the tools are not easy to use.

However, this is also in line with Song Xuan's expectations, and when everyone is proficient in the future, the speed should be a little faster, but no matter what, it will be needed in about ten days.

When Shi Shan and a few people came out, they still startled everyone, especially the six people who were responsible for the beating, one by one completely covered in dust, and they couldn't even tell who they were.

Fortunately, it was not far from the river, and Song Xuan asked them to wash it quickly, otherwise they would not be able to rest.

The rice that has been threshed has also been transported to the open field in time, after all, there are not many places where the rice can be dried, so it is natural to hurry up and dry as much as possible.

……

Just as the Teng Snake Tribe began to prepare to fight hard against the rice, the distant Black Feather Tribe had already begun a new round of action.

Seven days ago!

"Dark Clouds~"

"King!"

"This time, you take three hundred people to go, and you must deal with the tribes in the south!"

"Yes!"

After many failed expeditions to the Teng Snake Tribe, the Black King already hated the Teng Snake group in his heart, and even the surrounding tribes were worried about it, and this time it was the first warrior of the Wuyu tribe, Wu Yun, who led most of the adult males in the tribe to pacify the southern tribes.

Although the Black Feather tribe is strong, there are only four or five hundred adult males, and most of the previous wars have been mixed with men and women, but this time they made up their minds to send a team composed entirely of adult males.

This number is already more than the total number of most tribes in this era, and the three or five tribes of Tengsnake together can't make up so many adult males.

The Black Feather tribe has always advocated war, and there will always be several battles in a year, either to defend against the northern tribes, or to invade the surrounding small tribes, and most of them have been successful, and the biggest loss in recent years has occurred here in Teng Snake.

Since he had beaten the northern tribe once, the strength of the Wuyu tribe was also growing rapidly, and it had also sharply increased the ambition of the Wuwang, and he could no longer bear it in the face of this group of fat meat in the south.

Not only is the Teng Snake tribe deeply immersed in the joy of harvest, but most of the tribes also do not have this awareness, after all, wars are generally carried out after the autumn, how can there be invasion of other tribes just after the autumn, so once it fails, it will also be a devastating blow to their own tribe, after all, few tribes can save up the food for the next winter in a few months.

Not to mention the hundreds of people who went to a distant place to fight, the consumption along the way was also very huge, and it was not a powerful tribe that could not withstand this kind of consumption at all.

However, in the eyes of the Wuyu tribe, it is completely easy for them to send such a large army to deal with these small tribes of only 100 people in the south, and the food and population plundered from various tribes can quickly make up for the consumption this time.

Such a big operation, naturally, is not a whim, the Black Feather tribe has long been prepared accordingly, and even all the routes of this operation have been planned accordingly, after receiving the order, the dark clouds went out to gather the manpower.

"King!"

"King! King! King! ”

The Witch King stood on top of the two-story altar, looked at the three hundred warriors below, raised his scepter, and shouted:

"Fight!"

"Fight! War! War! ”

The roar was earth-shattering.

Then the dark clouds led the people straight to the south.

The people in the team naturally carried plenty of supplies in large bags and small bags, and at the same time, if Song Xuan was here, he would definitely be able to see something that made him very happy, that is, more than a dozen tall horses.

The leaders in front of them were on horses, which looked very magnificent, but more horses were still used to transport supplies, after all, there were more mountains and forests in the south, and the terrain was not so flat, so the cavalry could not exert much power.

As for the dark clouds, they must come on horseback, and they still want to show off the strength of the Black Feather Tribe, after all, no matter who sees such a combination rushing towards them, few people can resist the fear in their hearts.

As for the horses of the Black Feather Tribe, they were captured in battle with the northern tribes.

"Chief, how do we get there?"

Although most people already know the news about this battle, not too many people know about the object of the conquest, and most people only know about the Tengsnake tribe, but they don't know that King Wu is going straight to all the tribes in the south this time.

"Go to the wolf tribe first, they are most familiar with that area!"

"Yes!"

The last war against the Teng Snake tribe, although more than 100 people were also sent, but most of them were captured from various tribes, and their combat effectiveness and physical literacy would be poor, but this time it was not, in the past two years, the Wuyu tribe has digested the gains of the previous war relatively well, and this is the time when people are strong and strong.

The 300 people are not boring to move forward, they already have the appearance of an army, and the large army is naturally advancing in unison, but in front is an advance team composed of more than 20 people, which is responsible for exploring the route of the advance, and is also responsible for finding out the news ahead.

The place where the Wuyu tribe is located is already relatively flat, and to the north, most of the place is flat, with occasional small mountain ranges, and to the south is a continuous mountainous area, which belongs to the junction of the two terrains.

So not long after leaving the tribe, the speed also slowed down, but obviously the Black Feather tribe is already very familiar with the surroundings of the tribe, and the direction at this time is where the wolf tribe is, and even between the two tribes, there is a decent road, although it is not spacious enough, but it is no problem for one person to walk through.

……

After two days of familiarization, everyone has gradually adapted to the rhythm of harvesting rice, and they also cooperate quite well with Shiban, once they see that they are too busy, everyone also intends to slow down the harvest, or take out people to help threshing and drying rice.

The recent sun is also very powerful, it has only been basking for more than two days, and I can't feel any moisture on my hands, but for the sake of insurance, Song Xuan definitely wants to dry it for a while, but then I don't have to spread it so thin like I just took it off.

Exposed to the scorching sun every day, everyone was obviously a little darker, especially Song Xuan, who originally looked a little white, but now he was also wearing bronzed skin, although it was covered by leaves, but with the high temperature, it was already very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there have been very good results in three days, and we have harvested more than a dozen pieces of land, which is about 40 acres.

This speed even exceeded Song Xuan's expectations, and at this pace, it should all be done in seven or eight days.

The straw that everyone harvested was also piled up next to the tribe into two hills, which were mountains in the real sense, very large, and relatively high, seven or eight meters long.

Although this is not the main purpose of growing rice, there are many places where it can be used, in addition to building a house, it is also very good to use it as firewood, although it is not resistant to burning, but the fire power is very strong, and the most important thing is that the quantity is very large.

Just these dozens of acres of land can no longer be piled up.

Even now, it can only be transported back to the field after the grain is removed, otherwise there is not so much open space in front of the tribe for stacking.

In previous years, you had to find time to collect enough wood, but this year this task will be much easier, and you can burn the straw directly during the day, anyway, there is plenty of time, and you are not afraid of trouble.

Since it was the first time for Song Xuan to harvest rice like this, these straws could only be scattered around, and they could only be piled up into haystacks after they were dried.

Although I was very tired every day, everyone was also full of energy.

Looking at the dried rice, everyone was very happy, and every time they cut it, the food for the day came out.

But after all, it is the most primitive rice, the yield is not high, and there are only a dozen grains on a rice tree, and because most of the fields are relatively sparse when planted, Song Xuan roughly estimated that after an acre of land is dried, it should be one hundred and fifty or sixty catties.

Of course, the twenty or thirty acres of land near the river will definitely be better.

Although the yield is not high, it is much more cost-effective than hunting, and it is not a problem to eat for half a year if you save money on one acre of land.

When harvesting rice, Song Xuan also told everyone to pay attention to the relatively excellent rice, especially the kind that bears more seeds, or the plants are thick and tall, these are all excellent rice varieties in Song Xuan's eyes.

Now that the scale has been formed large enough, there is no need to ask for any seeds like last year, and even Song Xuan, who was a little deflated, was reluctant to throw them away, and scattered them all into the field.

If you want to increase the yield, you naturally have to start with seeds, and Song Xuan is not an expert in this area, so he can only use the most primitive and stupid method, that is, to select the best seeds every year.

Although the seeds planted in the tribe are not very good, the limit yield will definitely not be only a hundred catties, and Song Xuan is not greedy, as long as he can produce two or three hundred catties of rice, he is already satisfied.

This requirement is still relatively promising to be realized through such improvement from generation to generation.

The next paddy of good rice seeds will definitely be relatively better, especially Song Xuan not only has a high yield, but also a tall and stout plant, these rice are relatively stronger in their ability to resist natural disasters.

Although the two years have been relatively smooth, there have been continuous heavy rains, and even in the hilly and mountainous areas, the wind is still not small.

Stout rice will be relatively easier to survive.

Fortunately, there are no pests and diseases at present, otherwise it would be enough for Song Xuan to brainstorm.

These can be kept as rice in the middle of the day, and when they are found, they will be tied to the back of their waists and put together separately when they are resting.

And Song Xuan also made a request to everyone, each person must have at least four handfuls a day, if you don't ask for it, everyone will forget about it, which is also what Song Xuan thought of after surviving on the first day.

I had already told everyone that we must pay attention to keeping seeds during harvesting, but after a busy day, there were less than two baskets gathered in the end.

After threshing, there are only three or four catties of it, you must know that this is still not sun-dried, if you do it like this, you can only use the worst seeds next year.

After Song Xuan found out about this problem, he didn't be polite to everyone, and trained everyone well, although they all worked very hard when they worked, but this was about planting next year, and most of them left it behind.

After this time, everyone didn't dare to relax, and every harvest would take a general look, after all, Song Xuan couldn't fool around here, Song Xuan put two baskets in each pavilion.

After the end of the work, it is necessary to check, and even the quality that everyone has collected must be carefully examined, which completely eliminates the idea that some people want to fill up the number indiscriminately.

Although the weather was very hot, the tribe was well prepared, and it was able to rest among the tribe during the hottest time of the day.

After a few busy days, although they were all dusty, but fortunately, no one fell, as for the heat stroke in Song Xuan's imagination, except for a few children who couldn't hold on, the others didn't have much of a problem.

The children's physical fitness is relatively much weaker, so Song Xuan also let them work for a while and rest for a while, and even in order to prevent them from forgetting to do it, after a period of time, he will force them to go to the pavilion to drink saliva and catch their breath.

While the rice harvest is important, these children are also the future of the tribe, and it is not good to be tired here.

Harvesting rice in this way is a new challenge for everyone in the Tengsnake tribe, including Song Xuan, but fortunately, when planting rice before, they had already experienced bending over for a long time in advance, and this time they adapted much faster than before.

After all, the rice was planted at the beginning, and many people couldn't straighten their waists, but now that the rice has been cut in half, most people have almost recovered when they get up the next morning.

The rice harvested on the first day had already been transported to the granary by Song Xuan.

But after all, it was just dried, although it was already very dry, but Song Xuan still didn't let people seal the top, and when storing it, it was also put in batches, otherwise it would be piled up directly, if the heat in it was too high, it would be easy to "burn" the innermost one.

Although the harvest of rice is very large, the number of grain cellars is also quite large, there are nine in the tribe, even one of them is more than enough to store 2,000 catties of rice.

The first batch of rice entered the warehouse, Song Xuan was a little relieved, no matter what, it has begun to harvest, although it is not much, only more than 1,000 catties, but to meet next year's planting, there is no problem at all.

God has been more powerful recently, and the sun is shining for several days, although the harvest is very hard, but it is the best thing for the drying of rice.

Everyone was choking on the sun, but they also hoped that this kind of weather would continue, no matter how bad the weather would be, as long as it happened after the rice harvest was over, it was an acceptable thing.

Although the rice has begun to be recovered, everyone really does not have time to taste it, and everyone is very greedy for it, and some people even pick a few grains and put them in their mouths to taste them.

Unlike other things, raw and cooked rice are completely two different things, not to mention this kind of shell, there is no way to eat it, otherwise it would not be even if there is a lot of rice in this area, but so many tribes have not been able to find a way to eat it.

However, after the Teng Snake Tribe, the tribe with a heart should also try it, but if you smear it like this, it is obviously not easy to find a real way to use it.

If someone really came to ask Song Xuan, he didn't plan to hide, anyway, most tribes shouldn't have made such a big effort to carry out planting, and even if they planted, it would not be a bad thing for Teng Snake, after all, the climate and environment of the tribes were not exactly the same.

At that time, the seeds can also be exchanged appropriately, of course, this is all a future idea, I believe that for a long time, only the Teng Snake tribe should do this kind of thing, fortunately, everyone has begun to taste the sweetness, and next year will definitely carry out a larger-scale operation.

With this year's accumulation, Teng Snake's food reserves can finally meet the needs of long-term large-scale work, and finally there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient food while cultivating as this year.

Although it is only 100 acres, this is already the limit of what the Tengsnake tribe can do this year, and with these paddies, Song Xuan will be able to expand the planting scale boldly next year.

…………

"Dark Cloud Leader, why are you here!"

Looking at the dark clouds riding on the tall horse in front of him, Wolf Chi was very humble, and in addition to surprise, there was also a little fear in his eyes.

Apparently he knew a little about the man in front of him.

Although he didn't get a response, the crowd that appeared in the forest afterwards also made Wolf Chi understand a little.

A team of several hundred people naturally did not come to contact the small wolf tribe.

The surrounding tribes don't know that the wolf tribe has always been connected with the black feather, and the salt they have is also exchanged from the black feather tribe, the wolf tribe is more like an eyeline placed in the south by the black feather tribe, and at the same time control the various tribes through the trade of the eye.

Previously, because the Wuyu tribe had been deeply involved in the war with the north, there was no way to draw out too many manpower, and by chance, when annexing a small tribe, it was indeed found that the wolf people were not far away.

When King Wu saw that Wolf Chi and his party were tied back to the Wuyu tribe, he did not treat Wolf Chi well like he did with other tribes.

In addition to some pottery, he was also put in charge of the exchange of salt.

A few decades ago, although salt was scarce, there were several tribes that could exchange it, but the Wuyu tribe finally annexed them all, and it became more difficult for each tribe to obtain salt, not to mention the south where Teng Snake was at this time.

At that time, only a small tribe could obtain some salt through exchange with the northern tribes, and after exchanging it, it was natural to be a second-tier dealer in exchange for others, but the asking price at that time was much more conscientious than the current wolf tribe.

But since the wolf tribe went there, it quickly annexed this small tribe, which was fueled by the black feather tribe, and even directly sent some people over.

Although the Wuyu tribe was powerful at that time, it did not have the current scale, and there were only more than 400 people who fell up and down, and it was the dark clouds who led the team at that time.

Go to lead a small tribe, after mastering the resources of Yanba, the wolf tribe has also entered a period of rapid development, from a small tribe of forty people at that time, now there are more than 100 people, for the black feather tribe wolf blazing, more or more afraid.

Seeing so many people at this time, he even forgot what he was doing for a while, until the dark clouds rode his horse and knocked him away, and then he came to his senses.

After all, after so many years of contact with the Wuyu tribe, there are still a few acquaintances among them, and seeing that Wolf Chi was a little absent-minded, Wu San also stepped forward directly and gave Wolf Chi a kick, which made him completely sober up.

Hurry forward, leading the way for the dark clouds.

The leaders of the wolf tribe were so humble that they were even more frightened, lined up on both sides, and welcomed everyone from the black feather tribe, and the small wolf tribe naturally couldn't accommodate so many people.

At this time, Wolf Chi was also very interested in letting the people of his tribe leave his residence and give up all the houses to the people of the Black Feather tribe.

He had already roughly guessed the purpose of Dark Clouds' trip, but no matter what he was doing, even if it was to visit the wolf tribe, since they stepped into the range of the wolf tribe, the wolf tribe was no longer the wolf tribe before.

As the leader of a tribe, Wolf Chi was like a captive at this time, feeling like a handyman, while the clouds were still there. Sit down and quickly tidy up the house

Dark Cloud looked at the bowl handed over by Wolf Chi and showed a playful smile:

"This is the pottery of the Teng Snake?"

"Yes!"

In response to the dark cloud's inquiry, Wolf Blaze replied.

Every year, the wolf tribe will send people to the black feather tribe in exchange for salt, and the situation of each tribe will also be informed, if it weren't for the Teng snake that happened to take advantage of a loophole at that time and suddenly appeared in the exchange conference, it must have been notified of the specific location by the wolf tribe, after all, no one around knows about the relationship between the wolf tribe and the black feather tribe.

In the second year, the black feather tribe was also anxious, and the wolf tribe hurriedly sent people to attack the Teng Snake tribe without waiting for the wolf tribe, if it was prepared, the Teng snake would definitely suffer a big loss, and with the situation of the Teng Snake tribe at that time, it was not impossible to destroy it on the spot.

In the past two years, every time something has happened in the Teng Snake Tribe, the wolf tribe will report it all, especially the various incomprehensible actions on Song Xuan's side.

As a very rare item, pottery was already a very rare item, and after the first change, Wolf Chi sent someone to carry one to the Black Feather Tribe.

But Wolf Chi also had selfish intentions, but for the glazed pottery bowl at the back, he secretly pressed it down, and at this time, he was so frightened by this huge team that he forgot to put it away, but was caught by the dark clouds.
