The food the prisoners ate were all fine scraps, and naturally there wasn't much oil on them.
Oil is also relatively rare in the tribe. After all, it can only be obtained from prey. When eating daily, as long as it is relatively large, it is usually collected. In the past, it was directly applied on it. Now with pottery, Song Xuan He asked everyone to boil oil from the same kind of animals together.
The oil boiled in this way can be stored for a longer period of time. Putting some in it when grilling fish and making soup can also increase the flavor.
Naturally, when the prisoners arrived, there was no oil to eat. There were more monks and less porridge. The occasional bits of meat were put into the pot and made into soup. When it was everyone's turn, there was only a light layer of oil in the bowl.
Thinking about what the three of them eat, it is inevitable that others will envy them.
The crowd gradually dispersed. After a day of twists and turns, the three of them finally had time to think about their current situation.
………………
"Hey, get up quickly, wake him up, and come out to work after dinner!"
Shishan kicked open the door of the prisoner's house, dragged the half-dead leader of Wuyu Bow and Arrow, and said to the people inside.
It wasn't until the morning that Song Xuan remembered that there was still a man hanging in the tribe. He went over to take a look and found that he was still breathing, so he asked Shi Shan to free him. Although he was not very honest, it was still a human life. Since it had served as a warning to the monkeys, If there is no role for him, then let him go.
Based on the normal survival ability of primitive people, even though they were hung for a day, they should still be able to survive.
The captives looked at the black bird that was still alive and kicking yesterday and was now dying, and felt very scared. Fortunately, they heard something from Gongichi and the others yesterday. Looking at the people lying on the ground, they were just glad that they were not the ones caught yesterday.
"~Water!..."
Hearing the blackbird begging for water, the people around him hurriedly fed it with half a bowl of water from a broken bowl.
It has to be said that the black bird is still very tenacious and woke up soon after being untied.
Song Xuan even saw him in the digging team behind him. Although he looked very weak, he did not dare to slack off. With the example of Wuniao, the other prisoners worked even harder.
"God's envoy, then I'll take the people and set off!"
"Well, choose a good address so that Shi Lin and the others can run away when they find something is wrong!"
After breakfast, Shi Meng selected a few people and set off.
Naturally, they were not going hunting this time. In order to prevent the Wuyu tribe from making a big sneak attack like last time, Song Xuan and Shi Meng discussed it and decided to arrange an outpost on their only way.
Last time we were lucky enough to meet him on the way, but it would be hard to predict in the future. If he suddenly came to the tribe, people like Teng She would not be able to guard him no matter what. With the sentry, he could know the news in advance.
Even if he couldn't delay time, he could at least run back and inform the tribe. As long as he had time to prepare, and as long as there weren't too many people, Song Xuan now had the confidence to hold on.
Shi Meng and the others are also very familiar with this area now. As soon as Song Xuan mentioned it, he named a few better locations, most of which are in valleys with steep mountains on both sides. If you want to come here, you can only go through there. .
Song Xuan selected one of them that was four or five days away from the tribe. It would take that much time to walk normally, but if they hurried on with all their strength, according to the speed of the hunting team, they could get back in two days at most. In this way, even if they knew As for the route, Teng She should have at least two or three days to plan.
Although there is not much time, it is better to know in advance than to be suddenly attacked. Moreover, this speed is calculated according to the speed of the hunting team. They are very familiar with this area. Others will naturally walk slower. Refer to the speed of this group of people. After almost a month of walking here, the old Tengshe tribe realized that the road was not that easy.
Moreover, Shi Meng and the others have another mission during this trip, which is to set up some traps on the main roads. They don't need to be too complicated or too many. They just need to be able to slow down the enemy.
There is still vigorous construction in the tribe, and nearly half of the aqueduct has been dug. I believe it will be completed in a few days. Song Xuan is also thinking about what kind of work he should find for them after the work is done.
I just hope that by then some more obedient ones can be selected among the captives to help with hunting. We can’t just rely on Teng Shen to support them. Now some of the women can follow them to hunt and find fruits. Based on the two days of inspections, Said, the performance was pretty good.
After some inspection, Song Xuan wandered back to the tribe. In the side room, Gong Yi and three others had already begun to work. The bark of several trees chopped down yesterday had been stripped clean.
The next step is to use a knife to cut the wood into a suitable shape. Since you are using a knife, this step is more troublesome. After cutting, you have to bend them into the shape of a bow.
The simplest and crudest way is to nail a few pieces of wood on the ground, but this will easily loosen over time. Song Xuan plans to follow their requirements, and later Song Xuan plans to make one out of wood alone.
After the bow body is bent, just wait for it to dry in the shade. As for the bow string, you can only wait a little longer. In recent days, there has been no hunting in the tribe. Even if the women go out hunting, the prey they bring back is not large, so naturally they send Useless.
There is no need to rush this matter. Fortunately, the bow body cannot be formed in a day or two, so we can only wait slowly.
After calculating the time, the date agreed with the Blackwater Tribe was almost here. Song Xuan was ready to set off after Shi Meng and the others came back. The current situation in the tribe definitely meant that they could not leave too many people at once.
In order to prepare goods in advance, Shitou has been very busy these two days, making a lot of various pottery. Song Xuan learned from Shuiyun that there were eight or nine tribes participating in this exchange meeting, some of which were large and some small, with an average There were sixty or seventy people in a tribe that came down. Hearing this, Song Xuan knew that Teng She's opportunity to make money had come.
Even if each tribe only buys bowls for half of the people, it is enough for the tribe to make a good profit. However, Teng She will definitely not be able to get in and out. I heard that the major tribes at the conference all have their own specialties. , tools, beasts and even people can be exchanged. Song Xuan feels that there will definitely be something that can make his heart beat.
In addition, Song Xuan is also planning to take some of Teng Snake's weapons and tools with him. After all, people who have used these improved things have said that Shui Yun will take the ones used in battle with him when he leaves. .
As for other animal skins, horns and the like, you can also try your luck and change them if you can. I don’t have much experience when I go there for the first time. It will be easier to deal with it later if I know the general situation of each tribe.
Song Xuan decided not to bring the most important fishing net in the tribe for the time being. This was also the basic plan for the survival of the Tengshe Tribe. It was better not to leak it easily until the strength was not strong enough.
