After a few days of rest, the tribe began to get busy again.

Most people don't have bronze weapons yet, and the work of polishing weapons and tools still has to continue, even if there are a few people, they have not fallen, bronze is still too precious in the tribe, and when they first got their hands, everyone was eager to sleep with them, and they were not too willing to use them casually, all like babies.

As soon as there are many people, the tribe will be lively, even in winter, one or two hundred people in the house can communicate enough to make the head hurt.

Song Xuan wanted to separate the people, but everyone didn't seem to want to do this, there were so many people in the house, the temperature suddenly warmed up, and when it wasn't windy, the door could even be opened, and the room would be much brighter, and with the bonfire, it wouldn't be too cold.

If you separate, it will inevitably increase the use of firewood, although it will be quieter, but the consumption is too great, and there is no need for this at present.

For everyone, such days are still very comfortable, and the current Teng Snake has long since lost its existential crisis, although the black feather is still the number one enemy, but after this battle, the threat is much smaller.

Although it was forced to flee at the beginning, the population of the tribe did not have to be before, and they had to think about the next meal after eating this meal before, this kind of trouble is no longer there, the wife and children are hot on the kang, in the eyes of the Teng Snake people, the best days are just like this, and all the faces are happy.

Most of the people in the tribe didn't know Song Xuan's thoughts, in fact, even Shi Meng and them, Song Xuan didn't reveal much, after all, their knowledge was very limited, except for the captives, the one who had the most people in charge of it was the iris, but it was only one or two hundred people, and the vast world was rarely touched, and Song Xuan was worried that they would break their hearts.

Some things will only work if they are brought up at the right time, and it is not necessarily a good thing to say them in advance.

"Alright, let's go rest!"

As soon as Song Xuan's words fell, the dozens of children in front of him scattered and ran away at once, even if Song Xuan's class only lasted about half an hour per class, the children who were usually wild were still a little unacceptable.

If you don't let them go out for a walk, it really won't have any effect at all, Song Xuan also took a break by the way, and it was not easy to fight wits and courage with the children every day, although the children respected him very much, but learning was not a simple thing after all, there were always sneakers and tricks.

Today's weather is very good, the heavy snow that has been falling for several days finally stopped in the morning, even the wind has stopped, look at the children who slipped out one by one, Song Xuan naturally knows what they want to do, nothing more than catching birds, or having a snowball fight by the way, but the winter is very long every year, for snow, even children are not very interested, at most they play for a few days when it just falls, and the snow scene in the next few months can make people vomit.

They all want the winter to pass quickly, and the snow will melt sooner, let alone mention any fun interest.

Now the tribe also turns a blind eye to the children who sneak out to catch birds, as long as they don't freeze, no matter what method they use to get some back, at least they can taste some fresh bird soup, which is still very rare in winter.

And catching birds can only be carried out in the first snow, and the birds caught are not prepared, and after that, these birds are either frozen to death or starved to death, and they may not be able to meet a few when they squat outside for a long time.

Heavy snow will seal the whole heaven and earth, and it is not easy to see living creatures.

This year's children are still very well prepared, not only are they dressed more thickly, but the equipment in their hands is much better.

The Teng snake children led by Shipi are basically two people who can have a small bow, and the children without a bow are also a sling, as for the new children, although they have a sling, but after all, they are not too skilled, and they can only be regarded as going to strengthen their momentum, and those children of the wolf tribe are not even slings, and they are all studying hard in the corner at this time, after all, their identities at this time are still captives, and the relationship between the children behind must be getting better and better, but before they learn how to communicate, You still have to stay in the tribe honestly.

The children of the kite and bear tribes, although they have not joined much longer than them, but at present, simple communication can still be done, and the relationship is already relatively good, at least there is no obstacle to going out to communicate, and there is also a chain of contempt between the children, although under the education of the Teng Snake people, they are gradually accepting the children of the wolf tribe, but they can't even speak, and naturally there is a lot of estrangement.

In addition to the older children like Shipi, the younger children, basically no longer know the original language, relying on gestures are not so proficient, can only convey simple meaning, the two sides are not very willing to communicate, it is very difficult to communicate, the effect will not be too good, but I believe that the longer the time together, the latter situation will also improve.

In addition to bows and arrows and slings, Shipi also begged Shiban to prepare a lot of rattan baskets for them, which is the main force to catch birds alive.

In the past, catching birds was to find some minced meat and throw it on the snow as bait, this year Song Xuan is also very generous to give Shipi a small jar of rice, of course, many of them are shells, and the seeds will be more attractive to birds, and catching more birds is always not harmful to the tribe.

Feathers alone are what the tribe needs, if it weren't for the fact that they were usually in the wild, everyone would intentionally collect them, and the arrow feathers in the tribe were really not enough.

For pheasants and other birds, Song Xuan also wanted to tame them, but he never succeeded, it was already difficult to catch, and he happened to catch one or two and brought them back, and he never fed them.

Even if their nest is sometimes found in the wild, even if there are eggs inside, they will not hatch when they are brought back, and there are not such good conditions in the wild.

Although Song Xuan also thought about letting them stick it on his body and keep it with his body temperature, to see if it could be successful, the answer showed that there was indeed no way to operate at all, not only the temperature was low, but also whether it was hunting or traveling, he had to pay attention to a few eggs all the time, obviously it was not such an easy thing, he came and went, even Song Xuan didn't mention it, he caught it if he could catch it, and if he couldn't catch it, he encountered a wild egg, so he ate it on the spot.

"Oh~"

Listening to the cheers outside, Song Xuan knew that the harvest must be quite good, these rice husks were all left over from the rice in the past few days, and it was just right to use them as bait for the children.

The few stone mortars that the tribe dug out last year are completely insufficient this year, although several were made at that time, and they can barely meet everyone's needs, but how much rice was harvested last year, and this year we have to eat more every day than last winter.

The pressure suddenly increased, and after entering the winter, the captives began to eat rice porridge, morning, noon and evening, but the lunch meal was relatively thicker, although some meat would be added to it, but the amount was limited, and it was only more than the eggs in the laver egg flowers in the various canteens in later generations.

Each person is divided into a small piece of bone with meat at most, which is consumed every day by Teng Snake, and you have to eat twenty or thirty catties of rice at the end of the day, the efficiency of the stone mortar is very slow, and there are only a few catties for half a day.

At first, everyone was ready to do it themselves, but it was too slow to see it, and it was very tiring, even if some of the principles of levers were used on it, but after all, it was necessary to let the wooden hammer smash into the stone mortar one by one, and it was not only boring but also tiring for a long time.

After two days of work, they were a little reluctant to go again, and this kind of task had to be handed over to the captives to do, like this kind of boring manual work, in fact, it was the most suitable to be handed over to them, but before everyone was worried that the captives knew the secrets of the tribe, but after thinking about it, this must also be something that cannot be hidden.

As long as you participate in the cultivation of rice next year, people who are a little careful will be able to react, and then the people of Mu Ne can understand what the situation is when the autumn harvest comes, so it is basically not much necessary to hide it from them, and delaying this period of time does not seem to have any effect on the Teng Snake, so it is better to find a way to keep them in the tribe all the time.

Therefore, even if Song Xuan called a few captives and asked them to be responsible for cooking rice again, as a captive, he naturally did not dare to complain about being tired, and even if he slowed down, he would be reprimanded by the people on the side.

Although it doesn't seem like a good errand, there are still a lot of people among the captives who want to come over to make rice, and every day when Song Xuan asks Ebony to pull people, he will make a noise.

The main reason is that when the rice is eaten here, at least the stomach must be full, and staying in the prisoner's courtyard, even if there is not much time to stop and rest, but still can only drink gruel, although it was full at the time, but after a while the stomach was empty, and if you want to eat it again, you can only wait until the evening.

However, although they don't eat much, it won't make them starve to death, and some meat will be added to it from time to time, and the treatment is not good, but Song Xuan believes that even his era is definitely not bad.

Song Xuan was also going to arrange a few slightly larger fish for the captives every four or five days, which could be regarded as an additional meal.

With the food stimulation to lick the rice, the captives are all very hard-working, and the efficiency is much faster than when the snake does it himself, but most of them are eaten by them, and it is also a matter of working hard, all the previous steps have been done by the snake, and it is obviously very reasonable to let them eat the rice by themselves.

The new stone mortar is already being made, and considering that the amount of rice will definitely increase in the future, the stone mortar will be much larger than last year.

Although the stone mortar is not troublesome to make, even if there is no bronze, otherwise it can be slowly smashed out with ordinary stones, but large stone mortars need large stones, although there are mountains everywhere, but there are not many stones with the right shape, and the stone mortar also has requirements for stones, and now the tribe has carved this piece, but there is only a more suitable stone around.

The length and width of this big stone are almost one meter, and it takes a lot of effort just to carry it back, and Song Xuan is also ready to improve the way of scooping rice in the back, and a small amount can still be used in a manual way, but normally you still have to find a way to use the river in front of the tribe to make a simple tool for automatic scooping rice.

In the past, the tools in the tribe were not very good, even if Song Xuan knew how many instruments were made, but the technology was limited, and there was no way to make it, but in the future, it could be tried gradually, like a waterwheel and a water mill, it was not difficult to make, but the effect was still quite good when used well.

Especially the waterwheel, the tribe can only find a way to open up the fields in the low-lying places, and it is very troublesome to get water a little higher, and if there are waterwheels, even the higher places can be used, and there is no need to completely stick to the river to cultivate.

However, there are a lot of things that need to be done in the tribe now, and both of them are relatively troublesome, and if you want to do it, you can only lean back.

Now that the fields have been reclaimed, it has been enough for the tribe to use for a while, at least next year there will definitely be no problem, and the waterwheel is not so important.

The water mill is similar, even if it is made now, it will not come in handy, the river has been completely covered by ice and snow, and as long as it survives this winter, after the spring of next year, I believe that there will not be too much rice left in the tribe.

Although it is necessary to make these things, but there is no such hurry, now these furniture weapons or something are just for the stone class to practice their hands, the previous soil method is used to it, all of a sudden use of good tools, naturally not too skilled, and the carpenter wants to do a good job is also very particular, that is, the snake can't be used, but it is definitely more skilled to do more.

Because the sound of Chung Mi is very loud, it is naturally inappropriate to put it in the main house, otherwise the sound of "bang bang bang" will make everyone uncomfortable, so they arranged a separate room for them, and left the two of them to watch them.

And in addition to these two people, the people of Chungmi don't need a stove to keep warm, after all, they do manual work, and they don't have much time to rest, and they are so hot that they can't even wear clothes, so they only need to light a small fire to ensure that their hands and feet don't freeze.

The stove is too big, but it will make the working captives uncomfortable hot, so the efficiency will be slower, but fortunately, after Song Xuan learned about the situation, he prepared a few larger animal skins for the house, and it would not be too cold to wrap them directly at that time.

Sending people to watch them is not afraid that they will run away, but mainly because they are worried that they will be lazy, after all, they have to work from morning to night, and it is normal to take time to rest if no one is watching, and it is very boring to send one person, and two people must be arranged to go over.

Listening to the rhythmic "bang" sound outside and the cheers of the children, Song Xuan leaned comfortably on the chair, this big chair was not piled up of stones like the wolf tribe.

This is the stone class they put out of wood, although it looks rough, the legs and feet are also very thick, but it is very comfortable to sit on it, the reason is naturally to put a lot of animal skins, but there is still a sense of stability.

And this is only a stone class, they just started to make it, and it must be based on stability, and it is paved with the tiger skin that Song Xuan sat on before, but they can't see the details.

The back is slowly proficient, but it can be more and more refined, for such a big chair, Teng Snake is still very envious, but such a thing, the first to use must be a divine envoy, everyone met Shi Ban, and they can only find a way to urge.

However, it is impossible to put too many chairs like this in the room, and it is quite good to have a few meanings, to be honest, Song Xuan is actually a little uncomfortable, looking at everyone sitting cross-legged on the ground, he seems to be high.

But if you don't adapt to it, you have to use it, at least you have to give everyone a start, with Song Xuan taking the lead, everyone will be more acceptable to these things, and when the back seat bench is done, no need for Song Xuan to say, this kind of person will compete for it by himself, and now naturally the production speed can't catch up with the needs of everyone, but I believe that as long as they are proficient in the stone class, it should be very simple to do these things.

Since the conditions are gradually getting better, it is not possible to sit on the ground for everything as before, and it can be more elegant to be off the ground.

But after all, there are so many people in the tribe, and there are only six of them in Shiban, and the most important thing is that the tools are not enough, and there are only three copper axes in the tribe now, and the other two are not needed in winter, so they are temporarily lent to them.

There is only one saw and chisel, and with such a tool, it is quite good to be able to make a chair in two days.

However, the latter can be a little smaller, I believe that it will not be long before a complete set of tables and chairs can be made, but Shi Ban they are not only helping to make furniture, the main task is to make weapons, in general, the busiest people in the tribe are a few of them.

Although everyone else has a job, there is basically no way to replace them in Shiban, although there is no need to hide these things as tightly as before, but it is not necessary for everyone to learn how to make them, not only is it troublesome to do, but it is also a waste of time, so it is better to completely leave it to Shiban to do it.

On the contrary, weaving rattan baskets and shields can be used by everyone, which is not difficult, and you can learn slowly, just do it when you have time, and the materials are relatively easy to obtain, and they are everywhere in the wild, so that even if they are broken in the future, you can try to repair them yourself.

Even Song Xuan also took into account the situation of long-distance warfare, such as going to conquer the Wuyu tribe, he must need a shield, and if it is lost or damaged at that time, he can use local materials if he knows how to make it, even if he makes a simple one, it is better than not holding anything in his hand.

Since there are good ones, then there is no need to be like the people of the Black Feather tribe, just use the branches to weave a layer of animal skin on the outside, such a shield, in the face of ordinary tribes, can still be used reluctantly, but as long as the weapon is slightly better, it is difficult to play a big role.

Just like when the Black Feather Tribe attacked the Bear Tribe, relying on these two shields greatly reduced the casualties, but when facing the Teng Snake, the effect was also there, but it was not very good.

However, Song Xuan believed that if the Black Feather tribe had taken a shield like Teng Snake at that time, the current situation might not be so wonderful.

The shield of the snake, even if it is stabbed with a spear made of bronze, is not so easy to pierce, and it even has to be completely fixed before a strong sprint is possible.

In the future, there will definitely be conflicts with the Wuyu tribe, and there will even be conflicts with other tribes, and the battlefield is naturally impossible to be in their own tribe, mastering such skills will definitely improve a lot for survival on the battlefield.

Although the woven shield looks a little complicated, in fact, there are only a few steps, and it is quick to learn, mainly because of the details.

The women in the tribe had already learned almost all last year, and this year they were mainly taught by Shi Meng, who had no such requirements for them before, but the requirements will definitely be higher and higher in the future.

Knowing that this is something that will save your life in the future, although your hands are relatively clumsy, everyone is also studying hard.

Shi Ban was also thinking about new gadgets, inspired by the Black Feather tribe at that time, and now he was making a large shield, and the big shield at that time still caused a lot of trouble to Teng Snake, and the javelins and arrows failed to stop them, if it wasn't for the last thought of setting fire, it might not be so easy to solve.

In the future, if you attack the Wuyu tribe, if you have such a shield, it will definitely be a great help.

The rattan armor in the tribe is also slowly popularizing, but there are not many people wearing it, even Song Xuan is actually not used to it, although it is not heavy, but after wearing it, it is not so comfortable, and no matter how much he moves, he feels that he has been greatly restricted.

Shi Ban is also trying to find a way to improve it, as much as possible to ensure defense while not affecting the activity, but the current demand for vine armor is not high, even when he fought with the Wuyu tribe before, Song Xuan did not take it out to wear, let alone the usual hunting, having a shield is already very sufficient.

This is also a technical reserve for future wars, so there is no need to be too anxious, although there are more things to make, but the stone class is barely enough.

Although Teng Snake has enough manpower now, Song Xuan didn't think about dividing a few more people into the Shi class, after all, Teng Snake's own increase in people is not too big, and the two tribes together are only about forty people, and there are many children among them.

Even if all the adults are equipped with bows and arrows, they can be busy in a winter, and the winter is still long, these things can be done slowly.

So although it seems busy, it is also a break for a while, and several things are also rotated, so that it will not be boring for a while.

Song Xuan's guidance for the stone class is mainly in the style, too detailed things still have to be made by themselves, Song Xuan's requirements are not high, as long as they can be used normally, fortunately, such a thing has been explained recently, although it looks a little stupid, but there is no problem with it.
