"But let's follow!!"

This is already a great concession by Cao Miao, after all, Xiong Guo and they were the first to arrive at the Grass Tribe, if they were to be let go directly, Cao Miao would probably not be willing to die.

In addition to showing the existence of the grass tribe, sending people to follow them is also to prevent Xiong Guo from having any accidents.

After all, these dozen people don't even have much food on them, let alone face other situations, as the weather gets warmer and warmer, and the activities of wild beasts become more and more frequent, they can safely walk to the grass tribe, which is already a great luck, and if they continue to walk, they will inevitably encounter danger.

"Good!"

Seeing Cao Miao's completely non-negotiable expression, Xiong Guo finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

At least with the escort of this group of people, it will definitely be more convenient to walk, and the two of them were very moved by this, and their words about the grass seedlings in their hearts began to waver a little.

However, the cow tribe still has to go, at least to verify it, but it is just the attitude of the grass tribe, and it can't completely convince them.

Seeing that Xiong Guo was about to leave, Cao Miao could only pat his head, and then said:

"Don't worry, let me prepare!"

This time, Xiong Guo didn't continue to go, looking at the appearance of the grass seedlings, she also felt that it was indeed a little unsympathetic not to give the grass seedlings time to recuperate.

Cao Miao was also afraid that Xiong Guo and they couldn't wait, so they arranged it after taking a little breath, and he naturally had to run such an important thing himself.

At this time, the fleet that followed also returned to the tribe, and this time everyone put the exchanged supplies back into the warehouse, and then let some people take out some of the little food they had left.

It will be an extremely long journey to travel from the Grass Tribe to the Ox Tribe, and maybe even to the Teng Snake later, and it will be an extremely long journey, and it will also have to count the consumption of bear fruits, so there is not a lot of food to bring, and it is enough to load most of the boat.

Although there is a lot of food left over from last year, there is a lot of food to be saved, plus this exchange meeting, the salt exchanged has increased a little, so there is not much left now, and I think that I will have to take out some of it in exchange for pottery pills, and the grass seedlings are also a pain in the flesh, and it is estimated that the warehouse will be really empty by then.

However, when I think of the bears and fruits outside, as long as they can be safely sent to the Teng Snake Tribe, they will also get certain benefits, which can be regarded as a little psychological balance.

Teng Snake will come to send the projectile, Cao Miao also explained to Cao Hu and the others, this is an agreed thing, naturally it is not renegable, fortunately, at that time, the appetite did not want to be as big as the two tribes of Zhen and Niu, as long as there were three hundred, the tribe can still afford it, and then with the harvest of the hunting team more and more, the food will not be so tight.

Although he hurried back, Cao Miao didn't care about resting, and after everything was ready, he beckoned Xiong Guo and said:

"Let's go!"

Although he knew that Cao Miao had no malicious intentions, Xiong Guo could still keep a distance from the people of the Grass Tribe, and did not have too close contact.

As for Cao Miao's desire to let some of the children board the boat, Xiong Guo also refused, and it is better not to admit too much affection before the matter is thoroughly explored.

With so many children, it is natural that he can't walk fast, but before giving Cao Miao, who has not had a good rest for a long time, a time to relax, he directly lay on the boat and swayed behind Xiong Guo and them, but the speed of the water is faster than the children's walking speed, and Cao Miao has to stop and wait for them from time to time.

Just as Xiong Guo and his party left the line of sight of the Grass Tribe, two figures suddenly flashed in the Grass Tribe, and they burrowed into the forest from another direction.

Because there is still some food on their backs, although there is not much left, it should not be a big problem to support the cattle tribe, so even when eating, they are quite vigilant, Xiong Guo and the two are now worried that one will be caught by the grass seedlings if they are not careful, although it seems to be relatively harmonious now, but if they can be controlled more safely, for the grass seedlings, they can naturally save a lot of things.

So whether it is eating or resting, one of the two always maintains a sober state, but manpower is limited after all, although some feel sorry for the children, but at night, there are still a few older children who take the initiative to stand up, and the two finally did not refuse.

But it's just for the children to help watch the first half of the night, and there are only two adults in the team, and it's not a good thing for the whole team to be tired because they can't rest for a long time, at least they have to hold out until they reach the Niu tribe.

Looking at the children who did not forget to hold the wooden stick tightly when they slept, Xiong Dou also had a sour nose, and at this point, she was also confused about the future of the group.

Cao Miao didn't mean to attack Xiong Guo and them halfway, first, the two of them have been on high alert, and they really can't pick out the perfect time to start, and if they do it casually, they obviously still fall into the previous problem, plus Cao Miao also wants to find a better time, he has already made corresponding arrangements for this, so it can be regarded as a peaceful rest on the road.

So Cao Miao also behaved very generously, and lit a bonfire very far away from some of Xiongguo's people, in order to dispel their concerns as much as possible, they also specially chose a relatively open place, so that as long as the bonfire was not extinguished, the two of them could see at a glance whether there was any change in personnel.

Since persuasion is useless, this is also the maximum that Cao Miao can do.

…………

Just as Xiong Guo and Cao Miao and their group walked towards the Niu tribe one after the other, it was only Song Xuan who finally returned to the vicinity of Teng Snake with the people.

After Song Xuan left, the Teng Snake people did not carry out large-scale field operations, and the hunting team only remained in about one or two small teams, mainly responsible for cleaning up the prey near the Teng Snake, and most of them were still busy in the fields, either digging tree roots or turning over the land.

In the eight or nine days that Song Xuan left, everyone's progress was still very fast, and the power of the bronze plough was gradually revealed, and it only took six days to complete the initial cultivation of last year's batch of rice fields, but this is just to turn over the ground, so that the weeds, leaves, grass and ashes on the surface of the ground are buried deep underground.

Later, it will take a few more times to plow before the actual planting, but the first time is relatively difficult, and the back side is mainly to break the soil, and it will definitely be much easier at that time.

As for the newly burned rice fields, the speed is much faster than last year, even if the number of bronze knives and axes is not much, but it still plays a huge role, Teng Snake is now a person who does not stop, and the person holding the bronze knife and axe has always been fighting on the front line of cutting tree roots.

Although the field is densely covered with rhizomes, the Teng Snake now only needs the surface layer, and most of the remaining roots in this layer are bronze knives and axes, which can be easily cut off, after all, the really thick kind has basically been burned by the fire last year.

After a whole winter, it has been repeatedly frozen and thawed after the beginning of spring, and ordinary stone axes may be more laborious to cut, but it is already very easy to use bronze axes.

So although it was only a little more than eight days, the tribe had almost cleaned up more than 50 pieces of land, and the preliminary calculation was 1560 acres.

Although the speed is not fast, after all, there are nearly 300 people working at the same time, but if it is compared with last year's speed, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as fast.

Seeing that nearly two hundred acres of rice fields had been turned over, Song Xuan couldn't help laughing, in this way, it seems that before rice planting, maybe everything can really be prepared, even if it can't be completely opened, it is estimated that it will not be much worse.

Now the only problem is that the number of rice fields is not enough, if all the vacant land burned last year can be reclaimed, as long as the yield is normal, it will be a very terrifying number.

However, there is only about two months in the next month, which can be prepared for Teng Snake, and it is impossible for Teng Snake to continue to invest in the future, so many people, the speed will naturally slow down at that time, but it should not be a problem to meet their own consumption.

Since the rice fields were full of people, as soon as they entered everyone's sight, Song Xuan and his party were discovered by sharp-eyed children, and it was impossible for such a huge fleet not to be noticed. Although the children have also joined the reclamation team, compared with the adults, the playfulness is naturally much greater, but even if they work for a while, play for a while, and rest for a while, it is also a great contribution to the tribe.

The captives were still working hard, and Song Xuan's return was not a time for them to rest, but except for the people who were guarding the captives, the others had already begun to gather towards the shore.

At this time, it was almost noon, Song Xuan fortunately did not stop everyone's exchange meeting this time, Teng Snake just paid some salt, and in the end, he could bring back so many livestock and food, which was also a day worth celebrating.

Seeing the appearance of everyone covered in mud, he also knew that everyone was not lazy in the days he left, which was also a rare moment of relaxation for everyone.

When he saw the huge cow behind Song Xuan, Shi Yan walked over quickly and picked it up, although these animals have been domesticated by Niu Buluo, but on the side of Teng Snake, it will definitely take a while to get used to, especially in the face of the life of pulling a plough in the future, without some training, it is not so easy to be competent.

Teng snake people also slowly figured out a set of ploughing experience, although relying on brute force, can also turn over the surface of the land, but often stumble, but after mastering the direction and strength, not only the wounds will be more relaxed, the speed is also a lot faster, the most important thing is that there are almost no pauses in the whole process, and the livestock do not need to rest for too long.
