Chapter 235: Improving the Old Plow

"Look, oracle!"

As he spoke, the stone took out a big treasure from his bosom.

"Made?"

"Hmm"

Song Xuan's new plough that he envisioned at the beginning was made of bronze all over the body, but when he combined it with the stones, according to this, the bronze that he had worked so hard to save could only be made of three or four at most, and this amount would be the icing on the cake for next year's reclamation.

In the end, it was changed to the one that was dug out of stone, only the front part of the plough shovel was made of bronze, and the back was still the wood used in the tribe, so that the bronze used was much less at once, and it should not have much impact on use.

Of course, there are differences, but the front is the most important part, which is responsible for breaking down the soil and cutting off the tiny roots in the rice fields.

The latter part is used for miscellaneous work, although wood is not the best choice, but in the current situation in the tribe, the plough made from this is obviously more suitable.

In addition to being slightly less effective, it is also a little more troublesome to do.

In order to maximize the ability to keep the plough unaffected, the bronze part must be wrapped in wood, so that it is more troublesome to make a mold, and in order to unify the style, more convenient for future replacement, this time the plow is a uniform size, unlike the previous one, although it looks roughly the same, but there are still certain differences in the real comparison.

However, the wood behind it must still be handed over to Shi Ban to do, and I saw that the stone seemed to be magical, and took out a wooden plough shovel from behind him, obviously prepared before coming.

Song Xuan held the bronze plough shovel, and the stone held the wood plough shovel, and it was very smooth to put it on, just the friction of the set together made the two together, and it was difficult to separate without a little effort.

This is naturally the reason why both are made according to the mold, and even the production is very standard, if the error is too large, this effect will definitely not be achieved.

However, this kind of connection must not be used to plow the ground, and it has to be made more tighter later, the hole in the nail has been set out, and the finished bronze nail is directly nailed into the back, and the exposed part is directly smashed and bent, and the nail used here is only responsible for making the two more closely connected, so Song Xuan is ready to use the slightly softer bronze.

Although this bronze is a little softer, it is also easier to process, even if it is not burned red, it can be bent with a hammer, and the tribe makes weapons, and it is not so convenient to shape it.

The two came to the warehouse, and it didn't take long for the new plow shovel to replace the previous plow, although there was not much difference in appearance, after all, the plow in the tribe was already quite well designed, basically combined with the design in Song Xuan's mind, plus the use of the tribe gradually changed.

It's just that the materials used before are too poor, even the hardwood used is a lot worse, and the ground can only be reluctantly turned over, and it is very easy to wear, in addition, the connection between the various accessories is also poor, after all, when it was done, the tribe still used stone axes and fire bows, which can only be regarded as putting them together.

However, a new plough is also being made, and with the bronze tools, the plough is not too difficult to make.

At least from the point of view of appearance, there should be no problem with the new plough with the bronze plough shovel, after all, there is not much change, the connection of the bronze plough shovel is also quite silky, and even the stone class deliberately cut off the front end of the wooden plough shovel, and it is basically flat when touched from the top.

Although it must be tried later, it should not be the reason for the plough shovel, it is not easy to get a piece of land that can be ploughed in winter, so I simply don't toss, make it first, and try again after the spring.

With last year's experience, even if there will be some small problems, it will be too late to adjust later, the plough is mainly on the people who use it, and they can use it very easily to move forward, and they can only keep bumping and bumping, and repeatedly adjusting, which is not only more tiring, but also slows down a lot.

According to this practice, next year's plough should not be a problem, with enough bronze plough, not only ploughing up the ground faster, but also the effect will be much better, for Teng Snake, which has hundreds of acres of rice fields, is very helpful.

Although other farm tools can only be made of wood and bone, it is quite good to solve the most important things, and it is estimated that there will be some left after making these plows, which is already very beyond Song Xuan's expectations.

The cattle and red deer in the tribe should be able to pull seventeen or eighteen ploughs, if all of them are made of bronze, the speed of plowing next year will definitely be much faster, as long as it can reach about one acre a day, then before the rice planting, most of the land can be turned over.

The weather outside has gradually stabilized, and although it will still snow, it won't last too long, and most of it will be at night.

So in addition to the daily grinding, the annual training in the tribe also began.

After tasting the sweetness last year, everyone also knows that the training is still very effective, especially the tacit understanding between the personnel, as well as the use of various weapons, and the training of the snake is not limited to the people of the hunting team, other people must also participate, otherwise there will be no such high quality in the face of black feather aggression.

This year, there are new people joining, although there are not many people, but the higher the degree of cooperation, the better.

Most people in the tribe know that there will definitely be a war between Teng Snake and the Black Feather Tribe in the future, and even Teng Snake will take the initiative to attack, so the direction of this year's training has also changed.

Teng Snake has developed to such a large size, and it is very likely that the battle in the future will still break out in the wild, relying on the wall to defend, everyone is already very proficient, but if you really want to talk about the battle, Teng Snake does not have so much experience.

At this time, Shi Meng was leading people to simulate the siege scene, and Shi Yu was leading dozens of archers to shoot arrows at the dozens of people who rushed over, but in order to ensure safety, the front end of the arrow was wrapped in animal skin, so that even if it was shot, it would hurt for a while at most, and it would not be seriously injured.

However, the charge is not the most troublesome thing, after all, now Teng Snake has begun to make a large shield, although it has not yet been made, Shi Meng and they only used animal skins to support a look, but after it was made, the effect will definitely not be too bad, which Teng Snake everyone is very confident in.

The most troublesome thing is how to climb the wall and climb into the courtyard, Teng Snake's yard is already relatively high, but even then it is only about two meters, according to the captives of the Black Feather Tribe, the wall of the Black Feather Tribe is even higher.

However, the only good thing is that most of the tribes do not have a battlement like Teng Snake, and the Black Feather Tribe is even more so, their battles basically take place in other tribes, and there are few cases where they can attack their tribe, and the terrain of the Black Feather Tribe is also quite special, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is even difficult to get close to their tribe.

Different situations naturally have corresponding countermeasures, and now Teng Snake is only a relatively common situation, after all, the main purpose is not to conquer other tribes, such training is just to be unprepared, of course, for the Wuyu tribe will definitely not let him go easily.

Mainly in hunting and field battles, at the same time, there is a new form of troops in the tribe, that is, the sentinel of the Eight Classics, the sentinel of the snake is more like an assassin in the dark night, and has the functions of scouts and special forces, covering a wide range.

And the captain is naturally the stone shadow who was powerful in the battle before, in the forest, he can slaughter a lot of people from the black feather tribe, and bring them a lot of panic, and finally hijack their leader, to be able to do this is still a bit of talent.

After all, the people of Erowfeather are also quite familiar with the forest, and it is not so easy to not be discovered by them at all, let alone kill people quietly while on the move.

After learning that Shi Ming was tortured to death by the enemy, Shi Ying's whole person became gloomy, and he didn't talk much, but now he didn't communicate much.

This task is very suitable for him, whether it is to mine stones in the Black Feather Tribe before next year, or in the future battles, it is necessary to have a sentry to be safer, at least to clear the obstacles on the way forward in advance, and at the same time, if the conditions are right, he can also find a way to infiltrate the enemy's team.

However, he only knew a general concept of Song Xuan, and he had no experience in the army, so he could only tell Shi Ying his thoughts and let him choose the right people in the tribe by himself, according to the current scale of Teng Snake, the number of people is not too much, about ten people are enough.

Of course, once such a task is carried out, the danger is still very high, so Song Xuan also has requirements, that is, he must have a family, and he can only have children, such a person has basically completed the task of reproduction, and at the same time, with family children, he may pay more attention to life, and if he has concern, he will also consider the consequences.

Teng Snake many people just act with enthusiasm, for example, it is easy to fight when fighting, if the sentry goes to reconnoiter if he finds the enemy, maybe he will risk going to assassinate him, if it is in the wild, it is fine, but if it is not so easy in the tribe, the risk is relatively high, Song Xuan does not want them to die in vain.

Song Xuan's first principle for the sentinels in the tribe was to survive, how to hide himself was the most important thing, at least now the stone shadow was almost completely hidden in the ice and snow, and his body was covered with a snow-white animal skin, which was not easy to find if he didn't look closely.

Later, for the jungle river, there will be corresponding ways to hide, if it wasn't for the lack of concealment at that time, Shi Ming would not be so easy to catch.

Although the current Teng Snake does not necessarily need such manpower, it is always right to prepare in advance, once the right time is encountered, the effect is also considerable, if you can fight this kind of boss to solve the enemy, the subsequent results can be imagined.

But at present, there is only one stone shadow, and the others are still being selected, after all, the requirements are relatively high, and the Teng Snake tribe is full of big guys, such a task, you still need to be careful, fortunately, you are not particularly anxious, even if you are selected, you usually have to train and hunt like everyone, which can only be regarded as a part-time job at most.

The women in the tribe don't have to train too much in combat situations like the hunting team, mainly the use of weapons and tribal defense-related content, for all kinds of weapons Song Xuan requires everyone to be proficient, at least in addition to bows and arrows, other weapons have to be used more easily, bows and arrows relatively have certain technical requirements, others as long as they are within thirty meters, they can also shoot the target, after all, they are not professional bows, they invest too much time in accuracy, but some gains outweigh the losses.

Of course, if you have time to train, you will naturally shoot as accurately and farther the better, but most of the people in Teng Snake can also exceed the goal set by Song Xuan, this goal is not strict, and even children who play with bows and arrows better can meet the requirements.

At first, the bows and arrows in the tribe had to be used by all members, but in the end, it was found that this effect was not as good as the combination of multiple arms, whether it was in hunting or fighting, so now even the number of people in the hunting team carrying bows and arrows is at most half.

No matter how much you have, you may not have the opportunity to use it, and the bow and arrow are more troublesome to carry than other weapons, even if they are not as long as a spear, but after all, they are not just a stick like a spear, and the special shape of the bow and arrow is easy to hang up when traveling through the forest.

There are fewer people carrying bows and arrows in the collection team, generally only about ten people will carry them, and there are not many opportunities to encounter wild beasts, and there are fewer opportunities to use them.

……

"You should shoot a few less!"

Song Xuan complained while helping Xue'er rub her sore arms and shoulders.

Xue'er, as a person who Teng Snake, naturally has to participate, and she is already an adult, and she has to have certain requirements, although Teng Snake takes great care of her, but Xue'er is also a little stronger, and when she first touched the bow and arrow today, her arm was swollen.

Although this situation is very common, and it is inevitable that she will experience a sore period when she first comes into contact with bows and arrows, Song Xuan also told her not to play too much in the morning, but she didn't think that as soon as she took off her clothes now, her entire shoulders looked red and swollen.

Now hearing Song Xuan's complaint, Xue'er also stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, and then said pitifully:

"I ...... Forgot about ......"

Seeing this, Song Xuan had no choice but to help her rub it to relieve the soreness.

Xue'er's physical fitness is not very good, even if she has been joining Teng Snake for almost two months, she still hasn't completely made up for the previous deficit, although she eats not very little every day, but she hasn't seen much meat on her body, but the little bamboo shoots that Song Xuan saw for the first time seem to be plump.

Although the two have not had a deeper communication, but in front of Song Xuan, Xue'er did not shy away at all, I don't know if it was taught by the group of mothers-in-law in the tribe, since she had tried it once before, and after seeing that Song Xuan did not have a particularly big resistance, Xue'er became more and more open.

At this time, he also generously exposed his upper body in front of Song Xuan, although Song Xuan was also used to it, but at this time, this position made him feel a little novel, and he was a little excited unconsciously, shook his head, and helped Xue'er rub it for a while, and then rubbed her head:

"Alright, put it on and go to bed!"

However, Xue'er took off the animal skin on the lower half of her body, and then got into the quilt, revealing her little head, and said to Song Xuan:

"Thank you, Brother Xuan!"

Song Xuan couldn't help it when he saw this, after all, he was not too old, so he could only let her go, shook his head, and then adjusted the lid of the stove a little smaller, and followed into the bed.

After a while, I heard Xue'er on the side humming and said:

"Brother Xuan, Aunt Hua said...... We...... At least three children have to be born, when are we going to have them? ”

Song Xuan knew that it was definitely not a good thing to let Xue'er mix with that group of gossiping women for a long time, and he had been urging Song Xuan to find a spouse before, but after having Xue'er, he didn't continue to urge, and it was also discussed at that time, so he couldn't continue to urge other things.

But now it seems that the idea is on Xue'er again, and they naturally don't dare to say too much in the face of Song Xuan, but Xue'er is still very talkative, and she has just come of age, and the women of the wolf tribe have not taught her too much, although she talked a lot about her when she came over for the first time, but Xue'er was still in a state of complete confusion at that time, and she didn't remember what she said for a long time.

However, during these days, they have been instilled with a lot of things by the women of Teng Snake, and Shihua and they also know that what they said is too much, which may cause Song Xuan's dissatisfaction, so what they say is more obscure, but this has caused another consequence, that is, Xue'er almost has strange problems when she comes back every day, and explaining these problems every day is enough to give Song Xuan a headache.

At this time, when he heard Xue'er's words, he could only say perfunctorily speechlessly:

"Don't listen to Shihua's nonsense, wait until you grow up!"

It seems that he is not satisfied with Song Xuan's answer:

"That ......"

Without waiting for Xue'er to continue, Song Xuan hurriedly interrupted:

"Alright, hurry up and go to sleep!"

Seeing this, Xue'er had no choice but to stop, she also knew that Song Xuan might be angry if she continued to talk about it, although she wouldn't be really angry, she still couldn't escape after hitting him a few times, even if it didn't hurt very much, but it made her feel a little ashamed.

Seeing that Xue'er finally stopped asking, Song Xuan was finally relieved, as Xue'er became more and more familiar with the tribe, she was now able to express her meaning simply when communicating in language, and there was no big problem in listening to the words, as long as the speed of speech was not particularly fast, she could understand what it meant.

Listening to the sound of breathing beside him that gradually slowed down, Song Xuan also slowly fell asleep.

“……”

Maybe because the intensity of yesterday's training was too great, Xue'er still hadn't woken up at this time, looking at Xue'er curled up in her arms, like a kitten, Song Xuan could only continue to lie down with her, yesterday's training was indeed too difficult for her, but fortunately, Song Xuan had already heard the roar of the wind and snow outside, which allowed him to rest for a few days.

Originally, Song Xuan was going to use a privilege or something, but now there is no need for this.

In the past, it was impossible for Xue'er to get too good animal skins in the wolf tribe, and the rest was also in the corner, and after many years, she was already weak, so she left a sequelae, that is, she was very afraid of cold, even if there was a stove in the house at this time, and Song Xuan's animal skin quilt was also the best one in the tribe.

But every day when she got up, Xue'er still stuck to Song Xuan's side, and now it seems that she was still too nervous to maintain such a quiet sleeping position on the first day.

Seeing Xue'er's eyelashes move slightly, Song Xuan also knew that he should be about to wake up, and if he didn't get up again, he would really be teased by other people in the tribe, but fortunately, today was a snowy day, and most people should be in bed for a while.

"Brother Xuan...... Ahh

As soon as Xue'er looked up, she found that Song Xuan was looking at her, but before she finished speaking, she should have felt the soreness on her body and was suffocated again, Song Xuan also knew Xue'er's feelings, and then said:

"It's snowing today, so you don't have to go to training, you can rest in the house for a while!"

"Hmm~"

However, when Song Xuan came back from fetching water, he found that Xue'er was still struggling to get up, although nothing happened to Song Xuan, but Xue'er was also the object of frequent jokes from the tribe, and at first she didn't understand what Teng Snake was talking about, but then she gradually understood what everyone meant.

I also know that if I really don't get up today, I will go out tomorrow, and I guess my face will be red all day.

Song Xuan saw that there was no way but to help her get the water right, which was also Song Xuan's rare way to take care of others, since Xue'er came, his life was much easier, every morning Xue'er would help him prepare everything, usually even the dishes and chopsticks didn't have to prepare by himself.

If he is not in the house, when he arrives at dinner, the meal has already been prepared, and when he sleeps at night, the bed is also neatly made, not at all scattered on the ground as before, and it is much more comfortable to sleep, and the improvement in life is visible to the naked eye.

However, taking care of Xue'er at this time, Song Xuan was also very handy, and even helped Xue'er wash her face very naturally.

It was originally something he did before, but after Xue'er came, he also became a little lazy, but Xue'er was a little embarrassed when she was taken care of by Song Xuan, and looked at Song Xuan with a blank look.

Song Xuan scratched Xue'er's nose and said:

"Let's go!"

It's not too late now, there should be food to eat when he rushes over, of course, if Song Xuan doesn't come, the meal will definitely be kept for him, but it is also a little troublesome to let Shi Yan leave a meal for him alone, and it is definitely not necessary to add another process to eat together.

However, what Song Xuan didn't expect was that there didn't seem to be many people in the room at this time, and he thought that he had gotten up late enough today, it seemed that the intensity of yesterday's training was indeed not small, otherwise everyone would not have gotten up so late.

It is necessary to let Shi Meng pay attention to it later, after all, it is just training, and it is still growing in winter, there is no need to make everyone sore all at once, it is better to take it step by step and take it slowly.
