Chapter 265: Prisoner Interrogation of Prisoners
"Oracle!"
Soon Ebony walked in with the three of them, and as soon as they entered the room, they saw several people kneeling in front of the oracle.
Before he came, he thought that the tribe was going to make some arrangements for him, and he was still a little excited, but at this time, he knew that something was wrong, and normal people would definitely not be tied up, and let him kneel.
looked at a few people curiously, and then heard Song Xuan say:
"This is the person sent by the black feather, each of you is in charge of one, ask them what is the purpose of coming to Teng Snake?"
As soon as they heard the word black feather, the four of them knew that something was in trouble, and among the four of them, Ebony and the other person were the first to join the Teng Snake and could be regarded as old men.
It can be regarded as spending time with the tribe, and when I learned that Wu Yu was going to come to find trouble, I was naturally a little angry in my heart, but after all, I was from the Wu Yu tribe, and I was still a little entangled in my heart.
As for the other two, their scalps are numb, they were both caught last year, and their recognition of the tribe is not high, and they were pulled here because Ebony did it easily.
Ebony thought that the tribe needed to let him do the work, so he called two people and prepared to let them work as coolies, but they encountered such a tricky thing.
And some of the four people were shocked, the appearance of these four people, they didn't even know at all, looking at the weak appearance of a few people, as if they had been here for several days, a few people reacted, no wonder the new captives of the Wuyu tribe were guarded much more tightly today, it turned out that this was the case.
Song Xuan's original intention was to let Ebony bring a few old people over, but he pulled two newcomers, but he could also test them, and then said to a few people:
"You are alone in one room, and you are not allowed to come out until you ask clearly!"
This is naturally to ensure the accuracy of the information, in case someone says nonsense or does not report it, separate several people, as long as they come out a little check, you can see the result of the inquiry.
The two of them are okay, after all, the two of them don't have too much thought, as for whether they can ask it, although they don't know the bottom in their hearts, they also understand the temper of the divine envoy As long as they do it seriously, they shouldn't get too much blame, as for the other people, they are a little scared, Song Xuan's words, although they didn't say it so clearly, but the threat is self-evident, either ask for a result, or die in the house with this person.
It wasn't until a few people were picked up that Ebony found out that what he was holding was a black cow, and the black cow was still well-known among the black feather tribe, and most of the people in the headquarters knew him.
However, Wu Niu had been in the tribe for most of the time before, and seeing that he had been sent out at this time, Ebony also guessed that there were not too many people available in the Black Feather Tribe, but the specific situation still had to be asked.
Although everyone had a separate room, Song Xuan still sent two people to follow them, even if they didn't enter the house at that time, they could hear the movement inside.
There are so many things in the tribe, he naturally can't delay on this, and he can roughly guess the purpose of this group of people, and send Ebony to inquire, mainly to make the process simpler.
The salt has been transported back, at least on this, there should be no shortage in the tribe before winter, and what is needed most now is naturally to turn over the rest of the land, everyone's speed is still a little beyond Song Xuan's expectations, according to the current speed, the fields burned last year, there is no problem with rough turnover.
If it weren't for the fact that the tribe would arrange more manpower in other aspects in the future, and the area that could be reclaimed would be larger, but now these are enough, even if it is just a rough turn, the output will be greatly improved, and the speed of the bronze plough plus the old plough is still quite good, and it seems that this set of methods is fully capable of the existing farm work, and if the existing farm tools are improved, the speed will be faster.
At this rate, it is estimated that it will take eight or nine days, and there will only be about 100 acres left, and then the center of gravity can be placed on digging ditches.
After all, it is rice planted, and the water source is still very particular, and now the conditions are not as good as last year, the rice fields are all concentrated in one place, this year's rice fields are relatively scattered, especially on the tribal side, most of the positions are much higher than the river level, it is not easy to bring water over, fortunately, there are two streams not far away, and when the time comes, it can also lead some water.
And Song Xuan also told the people in Shiban about the general appearance of the waterwheel, the waterwheel is still very simple, it is nothing more than a big wheel, and there are some spoons or partitions around it, so that the water can be brought up.
The most important thing is the design of the runner, which not only needs to be very reliable, but also needs to be very stable, and the shaking amplitude should not be too large.
The principle is not difficult, the main thing is the details, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for the future wheels in the tribe, and the waterwheel is basically an enlarged version of the wheel, of course, the difficulty of manufacturing will be much simpler.
Although it is also possible to divert water by digging a ditch from the upstream, it is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but sometimes it has to be extended upstream separately for one or two areas of higher terrain.
It must be easier to allocate with a waterwheel, although the amount of water at once will not be very large, but as long as he turns the water there, it will almost be endless.
Of course, this has to wait until it is done, and now it is only a step in choosing wood, and Song Xuan did not urge a few people, although it does not seem difficult, but after all, it is the first time in the tribe to create something completely round, not big or small, it can be regarded as a challenge, let them slowly figure out and adjust, as long as they can build it before planting.
Fortunately, the tribe has now arranged a full set of bronze tools for Shi Ban, and there is not much constraint on the tools, after a winter of use, several people have been very handy with it, and they are constantly challenging higher difficulties.
The tables, chairs and benches created are much more refined than the shoddy ones at the beginning, of course, after all, they are just at the beginning, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, as for Song Xuan, he only occasionally gives them advice, and it is better to let them slowly explore and learn by themselves in this regard, and he can't participate in everything.
As soon as spring arrives in the tribe, the atmosphere becomes more ambiguous, of course, this does not refer to the people in the tribe, everyone after a winter's hard work, plus every day in the field of hard work, come back naturally has no strength, do superfluous things.
Just like the classic saying, spring is coming, and it is the season for animals to mate, and after coming to Teng Snake, the survival pressure is basically gone, as long as you can adapt to the life of being in captivity, you usually live a pretty good life, mating is naturally not too time-conscious, but spring mating, this is something brought by genes.
In this season, the desire of many animals suddenly becomes stronger, but this is a good thing for the tribe, the more they give birth, the more the tribe can eat in the future, so now these animals in the tribe are also at the most free time, and they will not usually take care of them.
The little wild boars left last year have also grown up a lot, but there is still a period of time before they become adults, Song Xuan knows that raising pigs is to be castrated, so that the taste will be much better after breeding, but after all, the tribe has not yet formed a scale, and they need to reproduce hard, first make the population bigger, and then they can be castrated in a targeted manner.
The most important thing is that since most of the adult wild boars have been released, there is no decent leader in the current pigsty, of course, it is useless to have a leader in the wild boar herd, in the past, I mainly wanted to select the strongest wild boar as a boar, so as to pass on his excellent genes, the best object before was the previous wild boar leader, but now he probably doesn't know where to run, and can only wait for this group of piglets to grow up slowly.
Of course, the next hunting, as long as it can meet the daily use supply, still has to gradually focus on the aspect of catching, especially now that there are so many people in the tribe, it is completely possible to organize large-scale hunting, and there is no need to worry about too weak places.
Of course, hunting still has to wait for the reclamation to be completed, and what Song Xuan is doing now is to lead people to cut down trees.
In the past, there were only more than 100 people in the tribe, and there were only about 100 acres of rice fields, and they were all concentrated on the opposite bank of the tribe, so whether it was for reclamation or rice planting and harvesting, as long as they did not walk at the same time, the bridge was not crowded.
But now the area of the rice fields has increased a lot, and there are quite a few scattered pieces that are still far away from the bridge, and if there is only one bridge, once the people are slightly concentrated, the traffic efficiency will be slowed down.
Song Xuan wanted to build another bridge downstream, but the width didn't need to be the same as the previous one, Song Xuan felt that two or three pieces of wood would be about the same, after all, the rice fields were mainly concentrated around the tribe, so that the daily traffic would be much easier, especially when going to reclamation every day, it could be divided into several batches and cross the river from multiple directions.
With last year's experience, coupled with the fact that there are bronze knives and axes now, it will be much easier to cut down trees, but there are no particularly tall trees around the tribe, and they have to go downstream, fortunately, it is not far from Song Xuan's location, and after cutting down the trees, it is also very convenient to directly ask someone to carry them over.
However, because the downstream river channel is wider, the trees selected this time will also be longer, but Song Xuan is not going to add a section, it will be more convenient to use the classic two-stage style, as for the weight added by the extension of wood, it is not a problem at all in front of so many people now, and more people are easier to do.
