“……”

Song Xuan just squinted for a while, and then he felt that someone was rubbing his temples.

The strength is neither light nor heavy, it is very comfortable, Song Xuan knew from the feel that this was Xue'er, and unconsciously tilted his head back a little, so that Xue'er would press it more easily.

The two have been together for almost twenty days, and they have long since lost the embarrassment at the beginning, and they have been busy in the tribe for a few days, and it is a fixed item to help Song Xuan press it every night.

After all, just after the lecture, Song Xuan's face was a little tired, Xue'er should have seen this situation, so she came over to help Song Xuan relax a little.

After pressing it for a while, he felt Xue'er stop, and then, Song Xuan heard Xue'er beside him say:

"Brother Xuan......"

"Huh?"

Song Xuan opened his eyes and looked at Xue'er who was walking to the side.

Xue'er Huaxia is not particularly smooth at present, although there is a special person from Song Xuan to guide her, but after all, it is still difficult to learn, it is not possible to learn it in a short time, simple words and salutations are no problem at present, but if you want to express specific meanings, you still have to cooperate with gestures and original language.

I saw that Xue'er's face was red to the back of her ears at this time, and Song Xuan was also relatively familiar, knowing that either this was caused by shyness, or she was a little nervous, and at this time it was probably the latter, her personality was relatively weak, and Song Xuan did not urge.

"Brother Xuan, do you want to ...... Let...... Wolf ears, let's go out for a while......! ”

When they slipped out, Song Xuan noticed the envious look on the faces of these children of the wolf tribe, but when he saw him looking at them, he put on a serious expression.

Song Xuan didn't let them go out, firstly, he wanted these dozens of children to be exposed to it for a while, and secondly, he was also afraid of being excluded by Shipi and others.

But now that Xue'er has come to beg him, it is naturally difficult to refuse, anyway, it is almost a morning of study, so it is not impossible to let them go out and relax for a while.

Seeing that Xue'er was very nervous, Song Xuan rubbed her head a little dotingly:

"Okay, go talk to them!"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xuan!"

After all, she had just reached the standard of adulthood, and when she heard that Song Xuan did not refuse his request, Xue'er immediately showed a smile, and after getting up, she seemed to want to trot up, but she should have noticed that it was not the place, so she glanced around carefully, and immediately slowed down.

Song Xuan smiled gracefully when he saw this, at least he still looked quite cute.

Brother Xuan is also a special title for Xue'er, after all, the two of them are unusual, if she also calls the divine envoy, it is definitely not appropriate, this is no different from others, even if he is now used to being called a divine envoy by the Teng Snake people, but let a person who has been with him for a lifetime is the same, Song Xuan is a little unacceptable.

Then there was the title of Brother Xuan, which still sounds very intimate, judging from his current age, Song Xuan estimates that he is only five or six years older than Xue'er, but he can also afford the title of brother.

As soon as Cher approached the group of children of the wolf tribe, she saw them all standing up one by one:

"Sister Cher!"

Fortunately, the Teng Snake tribe itself doesn't have so many rules, but the captives are different, and when they see the leader of the tribe, they have to shout respectfully, although Xue'er doesn't care about anything, but she is already a recognized woman in the tribe, and she is counted as the tribal master, and there is nothing wrong with doing so.

And not to mention this group of children, even the adults of the wolf tribe have to stop when they see Xue'er, although Xue'er is not adaptable, but after all, there are no rules.

I saw Xue'er and the children of the wolf tribe say a few words, and I saw that their eyes lit up all of a sudden, but after all, this was in the inner courtyard, even if Xue'er went over to tell them in person, more than thirty children still looked at Song Xuan very carefully, and when they saw the divine envoy nodding, they walked out cautiously.

Although they may not be able to play with a piece, it is not bad to let them try it now, and if there is a conflict, it will also test the processing ability of the stone skin.

Smelling the fragrance of rice, Song Xuan's stomach also became hungry.

Although it was winter, Song Xuan's activities were not much less, but he became more hungry, but since it was almost time to eat, Song Xuan simply didn't take out his own snacks.

Even in this season, Teng Snake's food is still relatively rich, and smelling the taste, Song Xuan knew that today should be grilled fish with broth and rice.

At this level, even if it is put in the future generations, it is quite good, but the taste is not so rich, and the seasoning is only salt.

The broth usually has some dried mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots, including meat and vegetarian rice, although the seasoning is not rich enough, but the meat quality is good enough, even if nothing is added, it is relatively delicious.

After having the bronze knife, the processing of the ingredients is also easier, especially the fish, which can easily remove the fish scales and internal organs, and the fish eaten by the snake itself are basically fresh, these fish have been fished back to the tribe before and raised in tanks and pots, although the activity space is not large, but after all, it is winter, and it is not so easy to die.

But after all, the number of tanks and pots is limited, and there are not too many fish that can be raised, it is estimated that after eating for a few days, you have to go to the river again to fish, usually live fish are there every day, and it is easy to fish, everyone eats not much, and likes to gnaw salted fish, but in winter, the demand for live fish suddenly increases, dozens of them prepared before, and there is not much left to eat these days.

Although the captives did not eat pickled, they were all fished up a few days before the snow fell, the temperature was relatively low, and they did not worry about spoiling when they were left outside, and then the snow came and threw him directly into the snowdrift.

It is not easy to go to the river to fish in winter, even if it is well prepared and dressed very thickly, it has to be frozen, even this year, the captives can be allowed to do it, Song Xuan is too lazy to toss.

At that time, you have to prepare more clothes for the captives, otherwise it will be a loss in the tribe to freeze to death, it is better to reduce the number of salvage, and the captives will eat more frozen, and the Teng Snake can get some alive and come back.

Although there are not many wild beasts to eat in winter, there are still rabbits and a small number of sheep in the tribe to taste, and the rabbits are close to five hundred at the most, but then a large number of them die, and it is not known what caused it.

Now there are only more than 300 of them, but this thing breeds very quickly, even if you eat most of them and keep a few dozen, as long as you catch some more next year, you can breed to a considerable number by the end of the year.

After this year's autumn harvest, the number of living beasts in the tribe has also increased, mainly goats and deer, among which there are a little more sheep, and now there are more than forty lambs born in the tribe.

Although it is only a few days of consumption in the tribe if you really want to eat, as long as the number comes up and it breeds, it will naturally get faster and faster, and this thing is not like a person, and there is not much risk in staying in the tribe all year round.

Uncle Deer has worked hard, and he has not tossed in vain, half of the doe are pregnant with fawns, plus the deer that have been caught, after the spring next year, it is estimated that there will be more than 20.

However, the stomachs of those cows don't seem to move, and I don't know if Shi Yan is not very familiar with cows, next year Niuhe they can let them take a look again, if possible, it is good to help breed them, but I don't know if they have mastered the relevant technology.

The dozen or so horses captured were also fully adapted to the life of the snake, and the stables were also built according to the descriptions of the captives, plus the style of the snake's side.

Now although the horses are managed by Shi Yan, the people who really feed them are the captives of the Wuyu tribe, and they are the ones who take care of the horses in the Wuyu tribe, so they naturally have to give full play to their strengths here, anyway, they are not afraid that they will not feed them wholeheartedly, looking at the state of these horses, they will know that they are useless.

These horses must have a big role, they can help Teng Snake transport goods in the future, and even form cavalry, but at present, there are not many people in the Teng Snake tribe who can ride horses, even Song Xuan only took the time to ride up and walk around a few laps, and he didn't ride wildly, but Teng Snake and the tribe are surrounded by only the current rice fields that can make this group of horses run happily, and other places are mountains and forests, and it is difficult to walk when you enter, let alone others.

Although the downstream is a little better, but the river network is dense, if the Teng Snake tribe has cavalry, it is not very able to play a role, one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the beast, the horse did not appear here Teng Snake, it is not completely without reason.

In addition to these livestock, the remaining dozen or so pigs are also a lot more obedient without a leader to take the lead in stirring up trouble, at least they will not collide at will when they see people, but at that time, the adult boars that were released were the mainstay, so it has become a problem to let them breed in the future, unless the snake goes to the mountains to catch a batch of them back.

The herds of wild boars were not so easy to catch, and the Teng Snake had been in the mountains for many days before he caught them by chance.

However, now that the population of Teng Snake has skyrocketed, if all the people are mobilized, the probability of success should be increased a lot, but the transfer of personnel and the number of animal traps have relatively high requirements, and they may not be able to be implemented in a short period of time, even if it is next year, it depends on the situation of the captives, after all, the capture of wild beasts is at least after the spring.

When the time comes, there will be wild fruits outside, and there will be more wild beasts, and if the captives really want to escape, at least it will not be so difficult to survive in the wild.

When they fled to Teng Snake, it was already the end of autumn, there were not many wild fruits outside, and there was no time to hunt, even so, a group of people who did not carry too many weapons also managed to catch up with Teng Snake.

As long as it is not winter, the danger of walking in groups in the mountains and forests is not as great as imagined, of course, the premise must not be easy to provoke wild beasts, some beasts still have a very strong sense of territory, even if they are just passing by, it may attract their attention.

If the captives can't be mobilized to act together, the manpower that Teng Snake can send is quite limited, and it's hard to say whether it can succeed, although it was a dozen wild boars, which brought a fundamental change to the battle situation, but let them run out like this, Song Xuan was somewhat distressed.

Pigs are very important in Song Xuan's plan, especially wild boars, it takes a long time to really domesticate into that kind of well-proportioned domestic pig, although wild boars don't have much problem eating, just a little fishy, but the amount of meat is not very high, and it grows relatively slowly.

Song Xuan's most wanted was naturally their oil, in addition to pigs, Song Xuan couldn't think of what kind of livestock could bring a large amount of oil on a fixed basis, although there were rape seeds in the tribe now, but it would take time to form a scale, and it was not so easy to extract oil.

The most important thing is whether it can be accepted by the tribe, from childhood to the general public, everyone eats animal fat, and in the face of rapeseed oil, which has a heavier taste, it must not be so easy to eat into the stomach.

But now that there are not many pigs left, it can only be regarded as starting from scratch slowly, anyway, the hunting in the tribe will not stop there, and the snake still has time.

"Meng, call the children back, pack up and eat!"

“……”

"Look, oracle!"

As soon as he entered the house, Shi Pi excitedly lifted the big black bird in his hand, but seeing that it did not move at all, it was estimated that it was still stoned to death with a catapult.

When eating, Shi Pi has been talking about the process of catching birds just now, although the time is not long, but the children's harvest is still quite good, just the live birds caught twelve, and there are more than twenty dead, although there are big and small, but it is enough for the tribe to try it, as for those living nature, it is necessary to play for a while, but birds have always been more difficult to feed, and Song Xuan also took a look, there are no birds suitable for poultry in it.

When the children are almost finished, they can pluck their feathers and eat, and it is basically impossible to catch so many birds at once in the summer, and only in the winter can everyone in the tribe taste the deliciousness of birds.

Usually there is an occasional harvest, but at most only one or two, and it is still a little difficult to satisfy everyone's desire to eat.

Birds are inherently difficult to catch, and they are very troublesome, and if the opportunity is not particularly good, Shi Meng is generally reluctant to try it easily, and even if they encounter it in the forest, it is unlikely to catch up with them.

On the contrary, when these children are usually fishing, they will have more chances of encountering birds, and when they are lucky, they can also hit a few with a sling, after all, birds are more alert, and when there is no shortage of food, people will fly away as long as they are a little closer, so they can only bring back one or two.

Of course, for the birds in the tribe, eating is not the main purpose, although it is delicious enough, but after all, the effect is only to fill the stomach, and other beasts will not be too bad, the main thing is to use the feathers on their bodies to make arrows, which is the most lacking thing.

Taking advantage of the winter, it was time to replenish another wave, so when they learned that Shipi was going to catch birds, Shiban had already set his eyes on these birds, and as soon as he came back, he urged Shipi's people to hand over the bird feathers, which was also something they had agreed on before.

A group of children want to get so many things from Shi Ban, it is definitely not possible to do it without paying a price, and Song Xuan also heard that Shi Ban also agreed on the quantity with them, if it is not up to standard, it will not be so easy to want it in the future.

After all, the bulk of weapon manufacturing is in the hands of Shi Ban, and most of these children also want their own weapons, so they all have a very good attitude towards Shi Ban.

All tribes are very martial, Teng Snake is no exception, since childhood, it will be exposed to various weapons, especially Teng Snake, now there are many types of weapons, but the most popular is naturally bow and arrow.

Bows and arrows are not so simple to make, even it took nearly a year for the snake to be fully popularized in the hunting team, and the bows and arrows used by children are either made of leftovers or poorer wood, although the effect is not as good as that of the hunting team, but there is no problem with using it to practice.

Contact from a young age can not only develop the corresponding interest, but also find more talented people from it, although there are many archers in the tribe, but there are not many really talented people, like Shi Yu is even rarer, most of them rely on the later training to improve.

Although the accuracy and power are not bad, the difference can still be seen at a critical moment, especially at a long distance, when fighting with the Black Feather tribe before, Shi Yu shot about a third more arrows than others, and almost none missed.

More than half of the archers of the Black Feather tribe were solved by him, and although the others were also conscious, they were easily caught by the archers on the opposite side, and they couldn't aim and shoot arrows in a short period of time.

And Shi Yu is different, the moment he sees it, the bow and arrow have almost been shot, and if he shoots, there are also some of these children in the tribe who are doing quite well, and they will definitely be excavated and excavated in the future.

The role of bows and arrows will only increase, and since you already have the ability to kill enemies from a distance, you must reduce hand-to-hand combat as much as possible.

After having bronze tools, Shi Ban is also gradually improving the manufacturing process of bows and arrows, the current bow in the tribe is basically the arc selected from a circle, and the two ends are not well used, Song Xuan still wants to make it a recurve, I believe that the power and range will be increased a lot.

Shi Ban and they are already working on the transformation, if it goes well, there should be a more powerful bow in the tribe, and at the same time, the previous strong bow has also brought a very shocking impression to everyone.

Although it is not convenient to move, if it is set up in the tribe, it can snipe enemies from a very long distance, and it will definitely need to be improved later.

And it can be made relatively easy to carry, so that if there is any foreign war, it can also be taken out, no, having such a bow will also cause huge psychological pressure on the enemy.

After having bronze tools, the weapons in the tribe can be upgraded, even if it is a small optimization, it will form a corresponding improvement for the feel, so it will definitely be more convenient to use.

However, there are too many of them, and it is definitely impossible to finish them all in a short period of time, and there are still new things to be made, and Song Xuan did not urge the Shi Ban and a few people.

After eating, they ran out again, probably tasted the sweetness, and wanted to catch more while the iron was hot, in addition to better equipment, the resources were also much richer, after all, Teng Snake burned dozens of acres of mountains and forests around.

The animals inside naturally have no homes, among which the birds are the most notable, they can easily escape, but the stored food is not so easy to take away.

It's good to be able to find a new nest during this time, not to mention, you have to find a way to get food for the winter.

At this time, when they saw something to eat on the vast snow, they naturally flocked to it, and they were not polite to Shipi, all kinds of means were used, almost every time they squatted and guarded, there would be a harvest, and the birds caught back this year were relatively large, and the one that Shipi showed Song Xuan was more than a catty.

And this year, the open space has also become larger, just going around the rice field is enough for the children to toss, Song Xuan saw that everyone had a good harvest, and he also intended to relax them a little.

Originally, I thought that Shipi and they might have any conflicts with the children of the wolf tribe, but at present, it seems that they are getting along quite well, so that the children of the tribe followed behind them and did not see any disgust from the children of the Teng Snake, and there were even some exchanges, of course, the posture of the children of the wolf tribe was relatively low, but it could be clearly seen.

But no matter how well they get along, if this group of children can grow up with Teng Snake's children from an early age, their sense of identity with the tribe will definitely be much stronger than that of their parents, which is also the goal that Song Xuan wants to achieve the most.

Although the people of the wolf tribe also seem to be very obedient, and they are also trying to integrate into the Teng Snake, but whether it is the Teng Snake people or their people, it is impossible to say that there are no abnormal emotions, and the Teng Snake was violated by the wolf department, but in the end, everyone in the wolf tribe was captured by the Teng Snake again.

Now they have such a good performance because they recognize the reality, if they have the ability to live independently again, Song Xuan doesn't think they will be so well-behaved and obedient.

Although Wolf Chi bears all the responsibility, it is impossible for others to get rid of it, at most it is a matter of the size of the responsibility, but no matter what, it has nothing to do with these children after all, and they have no right to decide in the tribe.

As long as they can grow up in the tribe well, there should not be much difference between them and their own people in the future.

At least from the current point of view, there has been a good start, Song Xuan feels that Xue'er may also be a very important role in this, although for the people who Teng Snake, they are all quite respectful, but for Xue'er who came out of their own tribe, they can see their cordiality from the heart, and they are more daring to express it, of course, Xue'er is also very good to them, usually will give them some food, like today, they will also specially plead with Song Xuan for this.
