For the use of bronze, stone is also used to the extreme, can be used as a weapon, except for a small piece for backup, the others are either made into weapons and made into a necessary tool.

Twenty bronze ploughs have also been fully completed, and they can be debugged after the beginning of spring, in addition, a few people in the tribe who are good at archery are also given separately, each of them is equipped with three bronze arrowheads, and Shi Yu has two more, although the number is not much, but if a few people make do with it, they can also use it to make a dagger.

At this stage, the bronze arrows were even more precious than the arrows when they used the bow and arrow at the beginning, and they didn't need Song Xuan to remind them that they would definitely not be able to use it easily if they were not completely sure or faced with a crisis, so after getting their hands, everyone only put two arrows in their quivers, and the other one was carefully placed in the room for backup.

However, in addition to these arrows, Song Xuan also asked the stone to make a batch of soft bronze for them to practice, good arrows must be reluctant to use, but this kind of them do not have much psychological burden when they use it, and except for the slightly inferior quality and cannot be used for hunting, there is not much difference in normal training.

This batch of bronze is not hard to hit hard, as long as you don't shoot at the stake or stone, the penetration is still OK, if you want to use it, in fact, you can also use it as an arrow, as long as you aim at the soft part of the prey, but in this way, the constraints are relatively large, especially when it is dangerous, it is necessary to have the penetration of the bronze arrowhead, if you don't even have this, then it is better to use ordinary arrows, at least it will not be too bad.

The most important reason why everyone attaches more importance to bronze arrows is because of their excellent penetrating ability, even if they encounter bones, they are not false at all, of course, such as leg bones, they must still be enough.

And after using bronze in front, the range is a little farther, although Shi Yu is not completely familiar with them, but it is still very easy to try out the distance.

Although there are bronze arrows, but this requires them to be higher, the difference between bronze arrows and ordinary arrows is not small, and the feel is even more different.

Only these people with good archery skills, Song Xuan dared to let them try, people with average archery skills may be confused by themselves, which will bring bad results.

Of course, this is also to let them adapt in advance, the various weapons in the tribe must gradually change to bronze, the first of which should be arrows and spears, both of which use less bronze, and the effect is very significant.

If it goes well, I will go to the Black Feather Tribe next year, and I will be able to replace it for everyone when I come back, even if it can't be successful once, it's a big deal to go two more times, no matter what, next year will definitely be to think through the production method of bronze.

In addition to these weapons, the stone also made several totems according to Song Xuan's intentions according to the requirements of the two witches, and several tribes of Teng Snake have them, although the three tribes of sheep, kites, and bears have no witches, but in the end they still made one, of course, these totems are not all made of bronze, which is too extravagant.

And each totem is not small, almost half a meter high, these totems are very technical.

The stone is first pinched out of clay according to the requirements of the two houses, and then after it is fired, it is used as a mold to make a larger one, this one is also exquisite, and it is very thin, and then this is used as a mold to make another one, and the second time is to leave a gap between a large and a small.

Then put the small and large ones together, leaving a gap in the middle, pouring red-hot copper water into it, waiting for it to cool, and then knocking out the outer layer, and a totem made of bronze on the outside was made.

So although it doesn't look small, the actual use of bronze is not much, at least about half thinner than the bowls used in the tribe.

Naturally, it has failed many times when doing it, after all, if you want to do it perfectly, you can't use too much bronze, so you naturally have to toss it a few more times, but fortunately, the totems of several tribes are not particularly complicated, and there is no painting foundation, as long as there is a rough resemblance.

The totem of the sheep tribe is even just a pair of sheep's horns, and the simplest is the totem of the kite tribe, which is just the footprints of a bird.

Although after joining the Teng Snake, the people of several tribes usually don't say much, but when they really saw the totem made of bronze, their eyes were still wet, although the tribe had been destroyed, but there were totems, and the inheritance of them was not broken after all.

The people of the sheep tribe even knelt in front of the bronze totem for a long time, since they came to this area, they never thought that there would be a day when they could see the sheep tribe totem again, and even in the previous cave, they simply took a pair of sheep horns and put them in the cave.

Since there are no priests, they don't know what to do, and even if there are priests, they don't have time to do any sacrificial rituals, instead of wasting time and wasting physical strength, it is better to go out hunting more and try to fill their stomachs, although there is time in winter, but food is relatively scarce, and the sacrificial ceremony will definitely not be able to be carried out.

On the contrary, after joining the Teng snake, the sacrificial ceremony became more solemn, although there was only one totem drawn with pottery shards, but it was also very meaningful to them in Yangyang, and the current bronze totem was even more so.

Even the people of the bear tribe, who are usually unfazed, were silent for a long time after seeing the bronze totem, but now for them, Song Xuan's belief is their faith.

But for this move, more than a dozen people were still very moved.

Although totems were made for people from various tribes, everyone's sense of identity was stronger, which was a bit unexpected for Song Xuan, originally he and the two witches thought it would bring negative effects.

Now the altar of the Teng Snake Tribe has also undergone new changes, when there were only two or three tribes before, except for the totems of the Blackwater Tribe that are larger, the totems of the other two tribes are very simple, so they are directly placed in a row, and now because they are bigger, and the number has increased, it is generally not very good-looking.

Song Xuan estimated that there should be no tribes joining in a short period of time, although the four tribes downstream were not many in number, their development was quite stable, and there was a trend of getting better and better year by year, and the battles of the tribes were much less than before, unless there was any natural disaster, it was unlikely to affect them.

The Wuyu tribe in the north is blocked by the Teng Snake, and on the Teng Snake side, Song Xuan did not think of taking the initiative to invade them, even if a battle broke out with the Wuyu tribe in the future, the people who were captured would definitely be mainly prisoners.

Naturally, the captives will not have such a totem, even if they finally join the Teng Snake, they will follow the belief of the Teng Snake, and this is the case with the Ebony at this time.

So Song Xuan placed a few pottery pillars on the altar, if it was according to the previous habits of several tribes, this pillar would naturally be polished out of stone, but Song Xuan felt that it was too much of a waste of time, polishing a stone to the right size, it would definitely not take more than half a month to complete it, so it was better to let the stone pinch out with clay.

And you can depict all kinds of things on it, the water witch was very opposed at first, he was relatively more traditional, but when he heard that he could be carved on the pillar, he was still relieved.

There are three pillars in total, except for the middle pillar, the pillars on both sides have two steps, so that the witch totem is directly placed in a pentagonal shape, and the totem of the snake is naturally placed at the top, and it should also be slightly forward.

The totems of the other four tribes also have a saying both up and down, and several tribes don't care too much about these Teng snakes being able to make their totems generously, which has already made everyone very moved, as for the location or something, Song Xuan thought too much.

But in any case, it was a great joy for everyone, and the altar was moved to the new main house, so everyone had to look there from time to time every day, especially under the light of the fire, the yellow bronze would even reflect the light, which was very bright.

Although most of his attention was put into the production of bronze and totems, the stone for the making of pottery did not fall, after all, every time he made a mold, he had to open a kiln to burn, so he also made full use of this time and stuffed some newly made pottery blanks into it.

Although the previous clay kiln is used each time, the space is not large, but it adds up, and now the pottery commonly used in the tribe is no longer so nervous, but the large pottery still has to wait.

Although Song Xuan left a few days for the stone this year, let him dig more clay back, but after the winter, it is really a little too much, whether it is the mold of bronze or the usual practice, it will spoil a lot of clay, especially the mold of bronze, every time a lot of clay has to be used, and the clay is not like bronze, it can also be rebuilt, once it is fired in the kiln, whether it is successful or not, there is no way to reuse.

However, there is no need to be too anxious like a tank, anyway, the demand in winter is not so strong, although the water is not as convenient as before, but whether it is snow water or go to the river to get some ice back, there is no problem in solving daily use.

Every once in a while there will be a burst of snow, for the tribe, this is the best source of water, and it is quite simple to use, just put a pot in a basin, bring it into the house, it will melt very quickly, if you are in a hurry, whether it is placed next to the fire or on the stove, it melts very quickly.

So it's good to wait for other things to be made after the beginning of spring.

There has been no snow outside for almost half a month, and according to the usual rhythm, this also means that the winter will pass slowly, and the snow will gradually become smaller, and the frequency will be much less.

This is also good news for the Teng Snake people, there is actually not much work to be done in the tribe now, and Shihua and they even weave most of the hemp into twine and hemp rope.

It must be much more convenient to use later, but Song Xuan has been thinking about something new recently, that is, weaving straw rope, although a lot of straw is brought back in winter, it still seems that it is not able to be used up, not to mention that the number of plants planted next year will increase several times.

Song Xuan also suddenly remembered that the straw rope seemed to be very useful, although it was not tough enough, but as long as it was not a particularly heavy cargo, there was no problem in using it for a short time, especially when it was tied to something compared with animal skin, its advantage was that it was easy to obtain, and it was not distressing if it was broken.

The most important thing is that Song Xuan also knows that straw can be used to weave straw sandals, although it has not been made yet, but Song Xuan feels that it is not too far from success, although the straw sandals in his hand look a little ugly, but the general function is already there.

In fact, it's not that Teng Snake doesn't want to wear shoes, it's really that they can't go out in thick animal skin shoes in summer, and in winter, they are very tight.

Even if you have practiced a pair of iron soles, but in the wild, things on your feet often happen, although not fatal, but after all, it will affect your activities, and it will hurt for a few days.

If you have a pair of shoes on your feet, you can at least greatly reduce this happening, even if it is just a pair of straw sandals, it will play a good role in protecting the feet.
