Chapter 236: Teng Snake's Little Happiness

The heavy snow lasted for three days, but it gave the tribesmen a good rest.

After a day of high-intensity training, the result is that the state is not good for two consecutive days, and the slightest movement is sore, and compared with the benefits of training, it is a loss.

Shi Meng was also scolded by Song Xuan, these weapons in the tribe are already much more professional, and people who have not been in contact with it will easily injure themselves, and the feeling may not be strong during training, but as soon as they stop, the soreness will emerge quickly, and the serious recovery will be very slow.

When the tribe used it before, it was still new to contact, and it was not proficient in use, and the number was small at the beginning, two or three arrows per person, and it took half a day to get the turn, and when the number increased, everyone had basically adapted to it, although there was also such a situation, but the scale was not so large, and it was not so serious.

Later, when they came to Yangyang, they didn't use it directly and with high intensity, but they also used it slowly in their daily training, and they didn't really train all day, and they were relatively weak when they came, but they paid more attention to daily rest, but this situation did not occur.

Fortunately, it is winter, and it is not delayed to rest for a few days, and it is good to adjust the training plan in time, as long as you ensure that you are rested and not used continuously, the discomfort of the body is still easy to detect.

Although he can't completely blame Shi Meng, he is responsible for the training, and there should not be such a large-scale injury in the future.

As the scale of the training grew, the captives were mobilized, of course, they simulated the targets of the attack, and the weapons in their hands were all wooden sticks wrapped in animal skins, which were not lethal.

After more than a month of study, the captives of the two tribes of black wolves can basically understand people's words, and their teaching is much stricter, although they are from the same tribe, but Ebony is ruthless when he goes to class, as long as he says something before, if he can't remember it the next day, he will definitely not be able to escape the pain of flesh and skin.

And Song Xuan will come to inspect it from time to time, this inspection is all things that have been learned before, although he will not be mad on the spot, but after Song Xuan leaves, the pressure will still be given to the ebony them, and under the layer of increases, the results of the captives can be imagined, although there is some high pressure, but the effect is quite good.

During this period of time, the captives were all chattering, although the class time was not long, but after teaching, everyone was trying to recall what had been said before, and after absorbing a few lessons, they also summed up a new method, that is, one person was responsible for memorizing a paragraph, so that after they finished teaching, they could also summarize in time, and finally teach each other privately, so that the speed of memory was much faster.

On the contrary, it is the happy learning method on Song Xuan's side, which is not as fast as the captives taking the initiative to learn.

However, Song Xuan is teaching some children here, and learning slowly will not delay things.

Although Song Xuan and Ebony said that the church would be good before the beginning of spring, he also knew that learning as soon as possible would only be beneficial to Wucang, at least the weak sense of identity would be strengthened, and what was being said here was not the captive's sense of identity with the Teng Snake, but the sense of identity of the Teng Snake people with them.

Although they are now the people of the Teng Snake, both physically and psychologically, and there is a big difference in identity from these newly captured captives, but after all, they were all members of the same tribe before, and they will inevitably have compassion.

Other things can't be done, this kind of thing that is beneficial to them, the Ebony people are also doing their best, although it may make these captives a little dissatisfied at the time, and even resentful, but I believe that they will also understand his hard conscience.

At least Song Xuan found out yesterday that these captives had learned hundreds of commonly used words in less than two months, and they could even speak them more fluently, and they didn't use too many things to communicate in the tribe, even if it was a single word, they could understand what the other party meant, like the situation of this group of captives, and it was no problem to say that they had learned sixty or seventy percent.

The commonly used words in later generations are only about 3,000 words, and even many of them are not very able to be used in ordinary times, and it is quite enough to know a thousand words like Teng Snake, and daily communication is not a problem at all, there are not many things in the tribe, plus some other words, even if you only know a few hundred words, but you can organize them, it is basically the same.

After feeling the "enthusiasm" of the captives for learning, Song Xuan also gave them a rare good look, and even changed the porridge of the day to thick with a wave of his hand, and prepared two pots of broth separately, which was also a big meal for the captives who drank gruel all day long and could not see a few pieces of meat in it.

A group of captives finally realized the benefits of learning, and the resentment they had against Ebony and others before disappeared because of this meal, they thought that Ebony and these dozens of people really didn't miss the old love, although they didn't have much intersection in the tribe before, but after all, they were also their own people.

Although the identities of the two sides are very different now, as long as Ebony and they don't completely treat them as prisoners, they can still take care of some of them.

They also know what they are doing, if they come over with people from the Kite and Xiong Er tribes, it is estimated that not many will survive the winter in the end, and the head of the dark cloud is still hanging at the door at this time, if they don't recognize the situation in time, it is estimated that it will not be much better.

Even so, the damage caused to several tribes was not so easy to erase, and now it is a blessing to have such treatment, coupled with the secret care of Ebony and others, for most of the captives of the Black Feather Tribe, as long as they are obedient, it is not a problem to survive.

After entering the winter, they no longer have to eat and live with the captives, first, the food and accommodation of the captives are relatively simple, and more than a dozen people are stuffed in the house in winter, the smell can be imagined, and ordinary people may not be able to withstand it.

Second, there is no need to worry that the captives will run away in winter, anyway, they have no food in the yard, and if they run, they will reduce the burden on the snake, and even now there is no arrangement for the outside guards, and the care is very loose.

Ebony naturally there is no need for them to continue to stay, and the inner courtyard is naturally much more comfortable to live in, not only are there fewer people living in the house, but they can also do what they like to do, which is naturally happier than squeezing together with this group of big men.

With the addition of the captives, the training of the people is also more qualitative, although the captives are a little timid because of fear, but it is also better than facing the air, and it can also allow the captives to simulate wild beasts, although it looks a little funny, but at least for the children of the tribe who have not officially participated in the hunt, it still has a little meaning.

Most of these children are only about ten years old, according to the normal process, then they will go out with the hunting team from time to time to participate in the hunt, although they will not be allowed to act alone, but it is inevitable to encounter risks, if you just rely on the oral teaching of winter, the effect will not be too good, especially in the face of more ferocious beasts, if there is no good psychological quality, usually practice well is useless.

And in the face of the people of their own tribe, no matter how fierce they behaved, the children would not feel so scared in their hearts, but these captives, the children were not familiar with them, and the war was fierce at that time, this group of children also participated, although they did not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, but they had seen it somewhat.

In the case that the children are not fully aware, it is a good way to use these captives of the Black Feather tribe to improve their psychological quality.

Although the winter is very long, but the state of the tribe is not reduced, even if it is snowing heavily, the house is also lively inside, almost every day will produce small changes, Shi Ban they are skilled to make all kinds of furniture is still very handy, at least now there are more than a dozen small low tables in the main house.

With these small tables, there is no need to put the bowl on the ground for dinner in the future, and there were people who put pots and bowls with stones or stakes before, but it didn't look particularly comfortable, and it was very troublesome to carry, but now this kind of small table is very suitable, it can be big and small, and it is used by one person when it is disassembled.

Putting it together can even be turned into a long table, at the beginning, Song Xuan also wanted to get some serious tables, chairs and benches, but if they were all done later, the house might not be able to do it, after all, the main house has a lot of tasks, not only for the usual meals, but also very troublesome to move, it is better to have a small table like now, and it can even be directly around the bonfire, and it will not be affected at all.

In case of emergency, it can also be used as a small horse, but there is no need to sit on the ground, Teng Snake is used to sitting cross-legged, so it is more comfortable for them to sit up, everyone has not experienced serious tables and chairs, at least Song Xuan has a set in the house.

For them, it is still more restrictive to sit up, and it is troublesome to do, but it is better to follow everyone's living habits slowly, step by step upgrade, now this kind of small table is very practical, and everyone who gets it is also very fond of it, and even a family is crowded, and it is okay to use one.

For the table placed in the room, the crowd is not very loud, first, everyone also knows that it is more troublesome to do, although it is only sixty or seventy centimeters wide and one meter long, but at least two or three wooden planks have to be spliced together, and it takes at least a whole day to make such a table.

Anyway, they don't have too high demand, so it's not as high as the hanger, and the hanger of the snake is simple, that is, a few branches left on the wood, such a thing was made in the past, although it was not difficult, but it was more troublesome.

Now with an axe, it can be easily chopped, as long as the corresponding trees are selected, it doesn't even take a few minutes to cut down, and the two are combined together with a bamboo pole in the middle, and more things can be put in, although everyone is usually more sloppy, but they don't like to throw things on the ground.

So even if there was a thick layer of snow outside, after seeing it, a group of people still went crazy into the forest, selected the corresponding trees, and entangled the stone class when they came back.

Usually, the bronze weapons of the leaders are like treasures, one is more tightly hidden than the other, and they are only taken out to show off when they are needed, and most of them are leaders, and everyone does not dare to entangle, obviously it is easier for Shiban to attack.

The carpenters led by Shi Ban, although they have two axes, they basically have not stopped, and they take turns to chop things, although everyone has a demand, and it is not troublesome, but after all, the use time is still too long, each family has chosen at least two, and this cut down in two or three days will definitely not be finished.

In the end, Shi Ban really couldn't stand being entangled, so he still invited Song Xuan out, and in the face of Song Xuan, a group of women didn't seem to be very constrained, after all, everyone's relationship was usually very good, looking at everyone's eyes, Song Xuan was also a little helpless, not to mention that they also pushed Xue'er out.

Obviously, she took Song Xuan, Xue'er had a very good relationship with them, although Xue'er didn't care, but Song Xuan still had to think about her, such an opportunity could also increase her prestige to some extent, Shihua even intended to cultivate Xue'er, obviously when Xue'er was older, it was estimated that she would be allowed to take over.

But it's better not to embezzle it on the Shiban side, although the winter is relatively long, but they don't have a lot of work, and now that there is no axe, basically nothing can be done, so it is obviously impossible for them to use the stone axe to cut slowly like before.

Seeing this, Song Xuan could only go out in person, and let a few people in the tribe who chose short knives take their knives to help everyone chop wood, although Shi Meng and the others looked like bitter gourd faces, but there was no way, there were also their daughters-in-law among them.

But every time they cut the wood, it was as if they were chopping in their hearts, and they had to feel distressed for a long time, but the efficiency was still very good, and they didn't go out again the next afternoon, obviously the task was done, and there was a new piece of furniture in the room, at least it was much easier to put it away.

This is also the first time that the people of Teng Snake fully realize the power of bronze tools, if these wood were replaced by only a few people in the past, if they wanted to get it right, it would definitely not be finished in four or five days, and it would be very ugly in the end, unlike now, the knife edges on the branches were neat.

Teng Snake is still very easy to satisfy, simple small furniture can improve everyone's happiness, although they never ask for anything, but Song Xuan feels that he also has a responsibility to bring them a better life.

After being a divine envoy for a few years, Song Xuan has long been fully adapted to his role, and the desire of the Teng Snake people may just be to fill their stomachs, but since there is a bug in him, it is natural that they need to move towards a higher goal.
