However, people on both sides who were already familiar with each other had already communicated with each other at this time, and learned that Teng She only dried the mushrooms and kept them until now. Moreover, part of the mushroom flavor was not lost, but became more delicious. People who love water also find it very magical. It is really eye-opening to find out that this thing can be eaten like this.
The next day, the tribe covered the three houses with thick grass mud, and at the same time set up many fires around them to try to dry them as quickly as possible.
Most of the mud is dug out from the river for the convenience of obtaining materials. The mud does not smell good. Even if you pay attention when digging, it will still have a smell, and it will be slightly better after drying.
Anyway, the most indispensable thing here is wood, which can be used with confidence. In order to build a new house for Shuiyun and the others, another batch of wood has been cut down in the past two days, and there will naturally be more branches that can be used as firewood.
In two days, a group of people built three houses, which can barely be considered completed. At least moving in is not a big problem for now.
After two days, the people in Heishui were not as restrained as before. Song Xuan also told the Tengshe people to communicate with the people around him as much as possible and to build a good relationship first no matter what.
As for the language of communication between the two parties, naturally the original language here is the main one. As for Mandarin, they can only be taught some slowly in life, but generally they can learn it very quickly. The captives in the tribe, like Gong Yi and the others I spent more time in contact with Teng She people, and I learned faster. Now I can communicate without any barriers.
Although the other people don't know how to speak some words, they still have no problem following the instructions. I believe Shuiyun and the others will be able to understand them in a short time. If they take their time step by step, there is no need to be too anxious. .
Even though the house has been built, Shi Meng and the others still did not go out hunting today. Instead, they familiarized themselves with the Teng Snake weapons in the tribe with people from the Shuiyun and Heishui tribes. There was still a big difference in the hunting modes of the two sides. Hei Water is definitely still the most primitive way.
Even if Song Xuan asked someone to bring him a few slings and some pottery balls, the quantity was enough for them to use for daily practice. If they wanted to hunt, it was far worse. The slings were okay. As long as they were careful, it would not be easy. It will be damaged, but the pottery pill is different. As long as it doesn't hit the prey, it is still difficult to retrieve it.
And the most important thing is that the main hunting weapons in the tribe have gradually transitioned from spears to bows and arrows. Before Shuiyun and the others came, half of the hunting team on Tengshe's side had already used bows and arrows, although some I haven’t participated in hunting yet, but after practicing for more than ten days, there is still no problem in terms of skills.
It is estimated that only Shuiyun and the others in Heishui have ever seen such a thing as a bow and arrow, and that was during the battle with the Black Feather Tribe.
And at most, I saw this kind of weapon being used by the other side. It is probably unknown what it was. After all, Song Xuan was very cautious at that time. After collecting the bow and arrow, he took it back and did not show it in front of them.
The traditional hunting method is naturally to find ways to find traces of wild beasts. If you can surround them, it is better to surround them. If you cannot surround them and are discovered by the prey, it will be a fierce chase. It all depends on who can survive first. Come on, even if you use some javelins occasionally, the effect is generally poor.
Although Soaring Snake is now looking for its prey first, once it finds it, as long as it is not in a group, the small group of people it finds can attack directly without thinking about surrounding it and cutting off its escape route or finding a direction that is easier to chase.
As long as the distance is enough, the bow is nocked and a few arrows are inserted first. As long as two or three arrows are inserted, it will be much easier to pursue later. Although there are some who can escape everyone's pursuit, they are in the minority after all.
The most important thing is that this method improves everyone's hunting speed. You don't have to waste too much time on one or two prey. As long as you hit it, it is generally difficult to escape from everyone's clutches. Even if the prey is at a distance of three, it can sometimes be shot within three seconds. Forty meters or even further, but it’s easier to catch up if you’re injured.
Of course, it's not that there are no misses. Now a team of Tengshe only has about thirteen or four people. Before the latest batch of bows and arrows came out, each team only had five bows on average. Even if everyone was around and shot at once, Go out, that is, five arrows.
In order to ensure concealment, the distance is generally relatively far, and few prey remain motionless. It is most common to only hit one or two arrows in a round. Sometimes if you are unlucky, you may only be able to do it. It scares the snake away and directly scares the prey away.
However, compared with its extremely high efficiency, both Song Xuan and Shi Meng believed that it was very worthwhile. In the past, when they went hunting, the limit that they could cover was within a radius of four or five miles. However, they had never encountered prey before. In the case of multiple entanglements, a radius of two to three miles or three to four miles is normal.
Now the hunting team has directly doubled on this basis. Although the prey harvested has not doubled, it has also increased by a small half. The key is that there are less fierce chases and more physical strength is preserved. Those with more physical strength It's better to use it on more difficult beasts.
Prey that were previously not dared to be provoked, such as saber-toothed tigers and brown bears, are now willing to be encountered as long as two small groups of people are around. After all, the rewards are too great, and the risks are not as high as before. It is also much lower than that.
Even if it is such a ferocious beast, when faced with incoming arrows, even if it is not hit, it generally will not think of coming over to fight to the death, so everyone's safety is better guaranteed, and the injured The situation is not as bad as before. Most of the wounds are caused when chasing prey. Now there are very few injuries caused by fighting wild beasts.
The addition of Shui Yun and the others also directly emptied Teng She's weapon arsenal. Some of the previous weapons were given to the prisoners, but now the remaining weapons were given to Shui Yun and the others.
As for their previous weapons, except for a few people who were not allocated and are still using them, the rest have been temporarily placed in the warehouse and will most likely not be used in the future. After all, the workmanship is still worse than Teng She's. If not, Shuiyun wouldn't have asked for some directly after participating in the last battle.
What surprised Song Xuan was that a high proportion of Shuiyun and the others knew how to use the sling. Basically everyone in the hunting team could throw it a few times. Although the women were not particularly accurate at throwing it, they at least knew how to use it. .
At present, when the production of bows and arrows has not caught up, the role of slings is very obvious whether in hunting or in battle. After all, they are large in quantity, cheap, full of tubes, and durable.
Although sometimes it is difficult to find a good angle in the vast jungle when facing prey, but as long as conditions permit, giving the prey one or two blows is not something that ordinary beasts can handle.
Sometimes the effect is no worse than that of a bow and arrow. Sometimes, if you are lucky and break your limbs, it becomes easier. However, the conditions for use must be more stringent. First, the surrounding area must be wide enough, otherwise the sling There is no way to turn it at all. This alone is not easy to do in the forest.
So Song Xuan was also planning to let them learn how to use slings first. Shuiyun and the others didn't even need to train, they just handed the things directly into their hands. Shi Yu and the others just happened to have eliminated a group of them. After having bows and arrows, the slings It is not very useful anymore and will basically not be used in daily life, especially if there are enough bows and arrows.
At first, Shi Yu and the others would bring them with them, but over time they basically kept them in the tribe. After all, the weight of the projectiles was not small. A dozen projectiles plus the weight of the sling weighed almost two kilograms.
Originally, their burdens were heavier than others. Although bows and arrows were easy to use, they were not easy to carry.
Even if a bow over one meter long is made of wood, it is not light after adding arrows. The most important thing is that it is inconvenient to travel through the jungle with such a long guy. It is not like a spear. It is basically It's just a stick, you can carry it anywhere.
Even if the spear or javelin is slightly scratched, no one will feel bad about it, but the bow is different. It is a relatively precious thing in the tribe, and after being scratched, it becomes less comfortable to use, especially the bow string. If it's scratched or even cracked, it can no longer be used.
The same is true for arrows. No matter the arrowhead or the tail, there is no room for scratches. If the arrow feathers are scratched off, then the remaining two petals can only be removed. Otherwise, it will affect the stability of the flight. A burden.
It can be seen from the output of these two things in the tribe that it is not difficult to make them at present, so everyone does not dare to break them easily. If there is some loss caused by hunting wild beasts, it is still acceptable. But it's hard to explain if it was caused by my own carelessness.
Therefore, when walking through, Shi Yu and the others were very cautious. First of all, they kept their bows and arrows in their arms. Even if they scratched a few wounds on the surrounding branches, they had to ensure that the bows and arrows would not be hurt.
Fortunately, the hunting team has also changed its queue format. The people holding bows and arrows usually walk in the middle, and there are only Shi Yu and another person who is a better shooter at the front.
Let them be in the middle to facilitate support. If there is any unexpected situation, whether it is the beginning or the end, they can rush over quickly.
Secondly, after other people's pioneering work, the road must be relatively easier to walk, and the people walking in the front are also deliberately making the narrow road wider in order to make it easier for the archery team to pass, as long as it is enough If you are careful, the general problem is not big.
