"Whew~"

After sleeping until three o'clock in the morning, Song Xuan finally woke up, and after eating yesterday, he returned to the house accompanied by Xue'er, and the two did not stay warm for long, Song Xuan fell asleep deeply.

I didn't wake up until this time, and no one bothered me in the middle, and the others were about the same, although most people were used to hunting in the wild, but hunting was generally only six or seven days, and the longest was only ten days, and whether it was mental or physical, it was much easier than before.

So most of them had a long nap today, and the others were very considerate and didn't make much noise, but everything they needed to get up was ready.

Not long after Song Xuan woke up, he saw Xue'er open the animal skin door curtain and come in, obviously hearing the sound inside the house outside the door, and immediately brought the warm hot water on the stove to Song Xuan to wash.

Yesterday, Song Xuan and several leaders said, let everyone rest for a day today, although the tribe is a little short of manpower at this time, but they don't care about the past two days, so that everyone can recover to the best state, and they can devote themselves to the next production.

Yesterday, Song Xuan had already arranged for someone to take out the rice seeds stored last year and soak them, and today they have begun to arrange germination, these rice seeds are evenly sprinkled on top of the moist straw, and then another layer will be covered on top, so that both the temperature and humidity are there.

Otherwise, it will be able to successfully promote germination in a few days, because this trip out of time is a bit long, this year's sowing day has been about ten days later than last year, fortunately, according to experience, in the past, there is still a month of autumn harvest is very suitable for rice growth and maturity, so ten days and a half a month at night will not affect the harvest.

And the real season, although Song Xuan also let Shi Jiu and the others pay attention, but after all, it is too complicated, it is definitely not something that can be studied in a year or two, before Song Xuan came, even time is a very vague concept, the longest time of the Teng Snake Tribe and even the entire area is measured in days, and the year is also marked by the heavy snow every winter, and it was not until Song Xuan's arrival that he slowly began to record, but even now, the specific time has not been determined.

However, Song Xuan had already given Shi Jiu and them something similar to a sundial, which was a fixed disc with a piece of wood in the middle, and this tool was used to measure the length of the daily shadow, and in two years, it should be able to completely determine how many days there are in a year.

In the future, production can also be more planned.

Song Xuan took people to leave the tribe in the past month, all the rice fields have been reclaimed, and even after two rounds of fine cultivation, basically the soil has been broken, which is very suitable for the next planting, and the rice fields are also soaked in water at this time, just waiting for the next planting.

Nearly six hundred acres of rice fields, if they can all be planted, Song Xuan can't even imagine the yield of food in the autumn, but Song Xuan estimates that the seeds in the tribe are a little enough, after all, it was left according to four or five hundred acres at that time.

Later, it can only depend on the situation, if it is not much, it can be slightly even, and the number of plants per mu can be lowered, so that the yield will be a little better, and at the same time, it will not let the rice field waste planting rice is still good for the next year's reclamation, which will make the land easier to turn, and at the same time, for the lower roots, it will also accelerate their decay.

The next month is the day when Teng Snake really needs to fight.

In terms of rice planting, Song Xuan doesn't have to worry too much, although the few people he brought with him last year have not yet fully mastered it, but there is no problem in breeding, and he only needs to be more skilled in the future.

And in the next period of time, Shi Yong and they need to devote themselves to hunting after they rest, this month, the tribe is almost in a state of no entry, the only harvest is the fish that the children fished out of the river, but that bit of fish is not satisfied with the daily food in the tribe at present, it can only be said to relieve the pressure of food a little.

Before the winter, there were several warehouses that were full, and now there is only one corner left, and it will last for more than ten days, and if you don't go out to hunt, it is estimated that you can only eat these animals raised in the tribe, these things are the heart meat of the snake, and naturally you can't eat it.

Fortunately, the personnel are already in order, and the weather at this time has also reached the time when the beasts are active, and a large group of people will naturally not be too small to harvest in the mountains.

In addition to Teng Snake's own people, the captives can also come in handy, after all, they were in the Wuyu tribe before, and most of them did these jobs, and there is no need to question their ability, as for escaping or something, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to take care of them in this way.

In addition to strict supervision, Song Xuan is also preparing to implement a new system among the captives, that is, sitting together, every five people are divided into a group, but there is no need to divide the group leader or anything, after all, there are not many people.

These five people are responsible for supervising each other, once there are other people in the group who have inappropriate behaviors and need to be punished, all five people will be punished at the same time, and there is naturally only one result like escaping, which is to be directly executed.

When you take them out hunting, you can completely disperse them, and I believe that the group will avoid each other when this happens.

As for the appearance, there is no need to worry too much, after all, they will be arranged to go out hunting, and they will not be exposed to weapons or anything, mainly to do some dirty work and actions that may be injured, if there is really an escape, it can be used to kill chickens and monkeys, and by the way, it can be regarded as a test of the domestication of Teng Snake in these days.

The job of the captives now is to dig ditches, and although the rice fields have been reclaimed, the water network is not yet so perfect, and the ditches have been dug in the main places, although there is water in the rice fields at this time, but it is also slowly spreading.

The next thing is to ensure that there is a small ditch next to each rice field, so that it will be much more convenient to divert and release water in the future, and the only disadvantage of rice is that it has very high requirements for water.

However, this one does not need so many people to survive, and the current ditches are already able to meet the requirements of planting, and there is still a lot of time left for the tribe to dig slowly for subsequent growth.

According to Teng Snake's current situation, there is no problem in bringing out half of the male captives at one time, but for safety reasons, Song Xuan and several leaders summed it up and decided to only bring out one-third each time.

Although the personnel are smaller, it is easier to manage, and Teng Snake also has a numerical advantage over them here, and is not afraid of accidents, if half of them are taken out, if the captives make trouble or escape, whether it is suppression or capture, there will be some shortage of manpower.

The rest of the people naturally had to stay in the tribe and dig trenches, and of course they must have taken turns to go out, not only to show their value, to see the respective strengths of the captives, but also to test them.

And the part of the captives that belong to the wolf tribe can basically be used with confidence, and there is no need to worry about them having problems, after all, the evil head wolf has already assisted, and with Xue'er's relationship, the rest of the people are naturally unwilling to have anything to do with the Wuyu tribe anymore.

Among the captives of the wolf tribe, the two people who survived and had a relationship with the black feather tribe were also isolated by others, and this matter did not get better until Xue'er came forward, and the two were also grateful to Xue'er, after all, the two of them were not treated well by everyone else.

This matter is also what Song Xuan only heard from Xue'er yesterday, combined with what he saw, although the people of the wolf tribe can't join the Teng Snake yet, they don't have to worry about them defecting or something, and even if the Black Feather tribe really fights, I believe they will also help the Teng Snake side at that time, the damage caused to them by the black feather is not low, and it can even be said that all the things they have now are brought by the Black Feather Tribe.

For most of the people of the Wolf Tribe, although they had gained a lot of benefits from the salt trade before, they were far from being compared to the disasters found in the tribe.

Fortunately, Teng Snake's side is not bad, although they made a big mistake, but they didn't pursue too much, and their treatment was much better than that of the captives of the Wuyu tribe, and then there was Xue'er who took the line of the divine envoy, although he was still a captive, but his heart was completely towards Teng Snake's side.

For the new identity, the wolf tribe is the fastest to adapt to the group, and they behaved very well when they first came, not to mention after a whole winter, at this time, almost everyone in the wolf tribe can communicate with the Teng Snake people smoothly, especially those children have become one with the Teng Snake children, after all, they also live in the main tribe every day.

In the eyes of Teng Snake's children, these people are no different from their own people, but the children of the wolf tribe live in Datongpu, and they will only be arranged to meet their parents every half a month, although they are not far apart, but there are not many opportunities to meet.

Although the policy is very strict, the people in the wolf tribe do not seem to resist it at all, but are a little grateful that Teng Snake did not treat the children as prisoners.

So for these people, although they are still captives, the supervision is not so strict.

Although the hatred cannot be forgotten, the death of Wolf Chi and several core personnel can be regarded as an explanation to the people of the Kite and Bear tribes, and everyone did not implicate this hatred on other people, and even got along well, when the women of Teng Snake went out to look for fungi and bamboo shoots, they would also bring the women of the Wolf tribe.

During this time, there was never a case of anyone running away, and they didn't even need to be supervised, but they just scattered the crowd, and when the time came, they gathered with what they found.

In this way, the strength of the Teng Snake has increased by another point, although the wolf tribe has also lost a lot of manpower in the previous battle, but the women and children in the tribe have not been killed or injured, and the combat effectiveness is still there.

Now that Teng Snake has an absolute advantage in numbers over the captives of the Black Feather Tribe, it will be much easier to manage with the middle group of the Wolf Tribe, and even when dealing with the captives of the Black Feather Tribe, they will be more strict.

Although the tribe has made full preparations in order to take these captives out to hunt, but unfortunately there is no situation, all the captives are very honest, and none of them escaped, which makes Song Xuan feel a little pity, after all, if there is a chance to kill chickens and monkeys, the effect will definitely be better, of course, all obedient is also the best result, which shows that everyone still sees the reality very clearly.

After the rice seeds successfully germinated, they were also evenly sprinkled into the prepared seedling field, although this is only the second large-scale breeding in the tribe, but it is already very skilled, and after a few days, I saw a lot of green seedlings emerging from the seedling field, and the seedling emergence rate is quite high.

As long as the seedlings can be successfully produced, the preliminary work is considered to have been successful, and the next step is basically not particularly difficult, these rice seeds have only just been domesticated, and their survival is still very tenacious.

However, it is not difficult for the seedlings to survive, but it is still difficult for them to be planted in the rice fields.

Needless to say, after last year's rice planting, although they are not very skilled, there is really no big problem in planting them in the field, mainly because they are the captives of the newly joined kites, Xiong Er tribes and black wolf tribes.

If you want to teach them, it is also a big project, so although the seedlings have just grown, Song Xuan has already begun to train them, although the demonstration is not a seedling, but it is a weed that grows almost the same, after having a bronze knife, it is much easier to harvest, and it can barely be used to practice with them.
