This time, the leaders of the two tribes were already dead. Although there were still many minor leaders, Song Xuan did not want to kill them all.
Song Xuan also heard that people like Wu Cang performed quite well after being captured. After being captured, Wu Cang did not resist too fiercely. There are still more than a dozen leaders of the Wu Yu tribe. With them Next, it will be easier to manage. Of course, risks and returns have always coexisted. At least for now, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.
People in Karasuba have also moved straw from the rice fields, and now use it as beds and roofs. Although they don't recognize it yet, they can basically guess that it is grown in the open space.
However, no one knew what kind of crop this was. Naturally, Teng She and the others would not explain it to them. As prisoners, they could just concentrate on their work.
It is not that the Wuyu Tribe has not grown crops, but it is just a fruit forest. Although the area is large, planting it is very simple. Since it is not grown in one year, at most it can only clear out a small area every year, and Unlike Soaring Snake, which can easily cover a large area, the area cleared is even dozens of times the area of the Black Feather Tribe.
Moreover, Teng She's cleaning work was very meticulous. They first used fire to burn the trees above them, and then they had to clean up the tree roots. They even had them dig ditches. After a long day of work, it was still very tiring.
With the experience of the rice field opposite the tribe, it is no longer a problem to let everyone cultivate it independently, and now that we have experience, although it may not be too easy, the physical strength and time arrangements will be more reasonable.
But after all, there is such a large area. If there were not so many captives, it would be impossible to keep busy. But without these captives, Teng She wouldn't have reclaimed so much land.
However, with so many new rice fields suddenly added, the demand for seeds is also much greater. Now we cannot do what we will do in future generations. One or two kilograms of seeds can plant an acre. This year's rice, even if it is because the roots of the trees below the ground are relatively small. There are many, but the planting is relatively sparse, and five or six kilograms of seeds are used in one acre of land.
In better conditions, seven or eight kilograms is barely enough. Although this year's harvest is pretty good, Song Xuan estimates that at least two to three thousand kilograms of seeds must be set aside. The seeds selected this year are only a few hundred kilograms, and the remaining seeds are only a few hundred kilograms. The next step is to use ordinary rice instead. Now they are all mixed together, and it is definitely impossible to tell them apart.
Anyway, breeding is a matter that takes many years, so just take your time.
Except for when Song Xuan came back, there was a little excitement, and everyone later returned to their posts. After all, Teng She was also scrambling for time, trying to get most of the things done before winter came, especially the rice fields. Now The cleaner it is, the more busy it will be after next spring.
However, how much can be completed depends on everyone's speed. This year, the average per capita is less than one acre, which has made everyone in Tengshe very busy. The open space that has been burned is already much more than this. If you want to use it all, It's very difficult.
And I can barely keep busy this year, mainly because I have enough food, and I basically haven’t gone out much since spring. The conditions are not likely to be so good next year. After all, the food in the tribe is not that abundant.
Even if it is barely enough to eat, the tribe still needs a certain amount of food reserves to deal with various things. Without a month or two of food reserves, everyone will feel a little panicked.
After running around for so many days, after understanding most of the things in the tribe, he lay comfortably on the animal skin. The thick animal skin was very comfortable.
However, Song Xuan discovered that Shi Meng and the others had been flirting with each other, and after a while, they ran out together, and even dragged Water Witch and Shi Yan along. Song Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to them. Looking at the wretched looks of these people, he must have It's not a good thing. Although I'm a little curious as to why Shi Yan and the two are getting together with them, with these two people here, there's no need to worry about them doing anything outrageous.
The status of Shi Yan and Water Witch in Soaring Snake is not low. After all, they are relatively older, and Water Witch is the one who has lived longer. Although Water Witch joined later, he is very respected. In addition to his age, In addition, when it comes to sacrifices, he can basically teach Shi Jiu step by step.
Moreover, the water witch did not separate the two tribes, and even tried to find ways to integrate everyone's beliefs. Fortunately, although everyone's totems of belief were different, the gods had become one person due to intentional or unintentional propaganda. Song Xuan was said to be one person from the beginning. Cheng was sent to save Teng Snake, but now he has changed his mission to save everyone from suffering.
Although Shi Yan is not a priest, he can be regarded as the general manager of Teng Snake. Apart from Song Xuan, he is the most familiar with Teng Snake's things. Even Shi Meng cannot catch up, and the animals in the tribe are also owned by Shi Yan. Although those who take care of them are not as familiar as the cattle tribe, they are still pretty good. The survival rate of the beasts brought back is about half, which is quite impressive.
Therefore, even Song Xuan respected the two of them. An old man in a family is like a treasure, and Teng She had two of them.
As the leader of the tribe, Shi Meng is brave enough, but not so good in other aspects. Maybe Yuan Yu and the others are better in this aspect, but after all, they have joined, and some things should not be interfered with by them in a short period of time. Even Shui Yun, Before the battle with Karasuba, he was just the leader of a hunting team.
However, everyone's burden will be much heavier in the future. Fortunately, there are many Soaring Snake leaders, so everyone can play their role, and the heroes can be considered useful.
I felt much more comfortable when I returned to the tribe. Song Xuan lay down until dark. He was very busy recently. Everyone usually worked until it got darker before returning to the tribe. After a brief tidying up, it was already completely dark, but The tribe had already prepared food and asked the captives to carry them back. Teng She and the others continued to eat in the main room.
However, although Teng She now has more than 400 people, most of whom are captives, and there are not too many of them. Although the house is a bit crowded, it can still be accommodated.
It seems that it will definitely be expanded again next year, and the south side of the tribe has been cleared out. After the wall is built, the internal area will be increased by more than half.
When eating, we still sit around the bonfire, which is warmer, but now that there are many people in the house, the bonfire serves more of a lighting function, otherwise it would be too dark.
Although the food he ate out was not bad, it was not cooked slowly and there was not much time. Moreover, there were not many things to add later. Song Xuan still brought some dried fungi and dried mushrooms. Bamboo shoots, but he didn't expect to encounter Wuyun and the others.
And there are people from other tribes who are not good at eating alone. On the way to the Grass Tribe, they have already consumed all their food. Usually they have something to eat every day, but they don’t feel anything. Now that they don’t have it, they feel very dull.
However, this was only the treatment that Teng She and the others could enjoy. The captives could not eat it. Although they had stored a lot at that time, they would have to eat it for a whole winter. No one was willing to give this good food to the captives.
In general, although Teng She barely has enough food now, there is not much that can actually be eaten. Although rapeseed has been grown this year, it will still take a long time to meet the tribe's consumption, even if it will be If all the seeds collected this year are planted, the yield next year will not be particularly high. As for the stir-fried vegetables and pickled vegetables that Song Xuan wants, there is still a long way to go.
Moreover, most of the edible vegetables in the tribe are available in summer and autumn, and there will be nothing left in winter. This is also the limitation of the times. Song Xuan has no good solution, but after all, he has been eating it for several years and has gradually adapted to it. come over.
While Song Xuan was eating, he saw Shi Meng approaching:
"Angel, have you ever thought about finding a spouse?"
Everyone in the tribe is still very concerned about Song Xuan's affairs. They intended to let Song Xuan participate in this year's blind date meeting, but Song Xuan's attitude was a bit tough at the time, and they didn't force them, but they would come to Song Xuan from time to time. Mention it in your ear.
Song Xuan actually didn't particularly resist this. He had already come to a primitive society, and the best situation would definitely be to leave an heir. Moreover, everyone in Teng She also attached great importance to this matter. Although they didn't explicitly urge him, they would often make innuendoes.
Song Xuan didn't expect that he had never had the experience of urging marriage in his previous life, but he had gone through it completely in primitive society, and it wasn't just one person urging him to marry, almost everyone in the tribe who could speak had such thoughts.
Teng She is not without women. Although she is not too resistant mentally, Song Xuan's body is still somewhat unacceptable to the image of a primitive woman with a rough appearance.
Although people in this era are not much different from people in later generations. They don’t have that much hair on their bodies, but the down is a little heavier. But after all, they regard strength as beauty. They are all big and thick, not even inferior to men. , although this was a requirement of the environment, it was still difficult for Song Xuan to accept it for a while, and this would last a lifetime, and there was a huge gap both physically and mentally.
But you can't think about whether a wife will fall from the sky. It's better to find a reliable one on the spot.
Everyone was urging him to make insinuations, but Song Xuan also refused in a roundabout way. However, after a long time, everyone still knew some of the reasons. Although he was a little confused about the aesthetics of the divine envoy, the women of his tribe were obviously so beautiful, but the divine envoy was Can't appreciate it.
But the divine envoys fell from the sky after all, and they usually have many seemingly unconstrained ideas, but being different from them is acceptable.
Shi Meng and the others had asked Shi Meng many times about finding a spouse. At first, Song Xuan refused directly, but seeing that it didn't seem to have any effect, he asked someone again after a while.
After that, he nodded perfunctorily. As for the person chosen by everyone, just reject it directly.
Looking at Shi Meng who looked obscene, Song Xuan suddenly became alert. These people would not be busy with this afternoon. Thinking about it carefully, it is really possible. After all, so many women have joined the tribe. How many people have joined the tribe? The first thing to consider is him.
At this time, he suddenly came over to ask him. He obviously had some ideas, but Song Xuan still had the same idea. Before he found the right person, he should not be too complacent. Anyway, he seemed to have become a lot more mature after time travel. Under normal circumstances, he should still live for several decades.
Now the Black Feather Tribe is not that big a threat to Soaring Snake. If it can develop normally and live to the end of its life, there will most likely be no problem.
And as a modern person, Shi Meng and the others still don't take this matter as seriously.
As for what Shi Meng and the others were thinking, Song Xuan could roughly guess that they just wanted to leave his inheritance. But for Song Xuan, he knew that he had nothing to do with the so-called gods, and the things in his head It comes entirely from the education before time travel. Even if a child is born, it is impossible for him to come up with some fantastic ideas like Shi Meng and others thought. Most likely, he will still be similar to the people in the tribe, but maybe Song Xuan The requirements are just more stringent.
So when faced with Shi Meng's inquiry, he nodded perfunctorily. However, when Shi Meng saw Song Xuan nodding this time, he was very surprised. Then he moved back and communicated quietly with several other people. Song Xuan also Don't take it seriously. At worst, you can just refuse later. Anyway, among the women of the Kite Tribe and the Bear Tribe, Song Xuan doesn't look at each other for the time being.
After finishing the meal, he arranged the future tasks with everyone, and Song Xuan was ready to go back to rest. There was no benefit in coming to a primitive society, but the work and rest were the most reasonable. There was nothing to do at night anyway, so it was better to go to bed early and get up early.
But just before Song Xuan got up and was about to walk back to his room, he saw several people winking at him:
"Angel of God!"
Song Xuan called out to himself without saying a word. Song Xuan was a little annoyed by the abnormal behavior of several people, but he did not continue to pay attention and let them continue to go crazy.
As soon as Song Xuan walked not far from his house, he saw Wangcai walking over with a low eyebrow, looking a little aggrieved:
"Woo~"
It's not easy to make Wangcai look like this. Although he is a wolf, he grew up in Tengshe since he was a child. He has a relatively docile temperament and is very popular with everyone in Tengshe. Moreover, he is also the pet of the divine envoy. Even if everyone has delicious food, they will eat it as soon as possible to make money.
Moreover, Wangcai is also quite impressive. Not only did he bring back a wife this year, but he also gave birth to three children. At least he played some role in the tribe's vigilance. Like the last time he hunted down Wucang, Wangcai also played some role.
As the tribe grows larger and the population gradually increases, the Wangcai family will be able to play a greater role in the future.
However, Song Xuan didn't know what the situation was. He thought he was acting coquettishly here after not seeing him for so many days, so he could only rub Wangcai's head and take him home.
However, the closer he got to his house, the slower Wangcai's pace became, as if there was something in the house that frightened him.
But Song Xuan had already gone in when he came back during the day, and with so many people in the tribe, it was impossible for there to be any wild beasts inside. If there were, they would have been discovered by the people around him.
Through the animal skin door curtain, Song Xuan saw the light of fire reflected inside. He used to think that it was lit by people in the tribe for him in advance, but if it was fire, Wangcai would not be so careful. He is not like the wild beasts outside. He has always been around campfires since he was a child. As long as he doesn't get burned, he won't be afraid at all.
He opened the door curtain with some confusion:
"Holy shit!"
Song Xuan thought he had seen it wrong, so he lowered the door curtain and opened it again. He saw a girl kneeling in his house. The most important thing was that this girl was naked and had nothing on.
Song Xuan's movement just now obviously startled him, but after seeing the person coming, he cautiously shouted:
"Sen... Sensi..."
Listening to the unskilled way of speaking, Song Xuan also knew that this was definitely not one of Teng She's own people. He had personally met everyone in the Bear Tribe, and everyone knelt in front of him and bowed. Moreover, he They also gave everyone a new name. Song Xuan was relatively familiar with the dozen or so people in the Bear Tribe.
The people from the Yuan tribe came earlier. Although Song Xuan couldn't call them all by name, they were familiar to each other. Among the people who came back later, there was obviously no such girl in the room.
It is basically certain that this girl is from the wolf tribe.
Although the women in the tribe have never been shy about Song Xuan, especially in the summer when they wear less clothes and exposure is common, Song Xuan will not take the initiative to look at it in an obscene manner. Even if he accidentally catches a glimpse, he will immediately do so. Shifting his gaze made Teng She and the other women laugh.
Seeing a completely naked girl appear in front of her at this time, even Song Xuan, who had experienced it before, became a little panicked. Just as he was about to ask her to put on clothes, the girl saw Wangcai coming in with Song Xuan:
"ah!"
A sharp scream suddenly sounded in the house. Seeing that Wangcai was still walking in, she was so frightened that she jumped up immediately and got directly behind Song Xuan. This scene made Song Xuan a little speechless. She couldn't Nothing was said.
He could only say to Wangcai who lowered his head and walked in:
"Wangcai! Get out first!"
Song Xuan finally understood why Wang Cai had such an expression just now. He was obviously scared out by this girl. No wonder he looked very aggrieved. After all, he usually entered and exited Song Xuan's house at will.
Seeing Wangcai walking out aggrievedly, Song Xuan glanced at the very frightened girl behind him, and said helplessly in the original language:
"Okay, we're out now!"
"Put your clothes on!"
Song Xuan was somewhat embarrassed to have a naked girl standing in front of him.
However, the girl obviously did not recover from the shock just now, and said to Song Xuan tremblingly:
"Sen...Si,%...#￥..."
But not only was her voice low, but her words were also confusing. It was no longer a big problem to avoid Song Xuan's communication in the original language, but I still couldn't understand what she was saying.
Seeing that she seemed to be frightened by Wangcai, he could only take an animal skin from the clothes hook next to him and prepare to put it on her body.
After all, they are not from their own tribe. Even Yuan Yu and the others were shocked when they saw Wangcai for the first time. After all, in the impression of the tribe, the wolf is still a relatively ferocious beast and more threatening. The tall ones, especially Wangcai, often appear together as a family. People who don't know all of them think that wolves have sneaked into the tribe.
The girl in front of her is most likely a member of the wolf tribe. Although there is a wolf in her name, it does not mean that she is not afraid of wolves, not to mention that she is just a little girl who looks like she should have just grown up. Girls of this age have most likely not been exposed to them. These wild beasts, even if they are encountered when picking wild fruits, will be well protected.
"Hehe~"
Just when Song Xuan put the animal skin on the girl, he heard the laughter of "hehe" coming from behind.
Turning around, I saw that it was indeed Shi Meng and the others. I saw several heads sticking out from both sides of the door. Shi Meng, Shi Yong, Shui Yun, and even Yuan Yu were among them.
When Song Xuan came in, he guessed that this was probably the work of a few people. They had been busy all afternoon, probably just for this matter.
Song Xuan had previously thought that they were going to hold a blind date conference for him to choose a suitable spouse. Unexpectedly, they had arranged it for him in one go, without even wearing anything on them, just like this. He came to his room in a hurry. Looking at the girl's clean hair, it was obvious that she had washed herself before coming.
Seeing the lewd smiles on their faces, Song Xuan said with a dark face:
"Whose idea was this!"
Unexpectedly, several people were united. They all shook their heads to indicate that it was not them, and they did not point fingers at each other as usual.
It's not that Song Xuan resisted finding a spouse for himself, but this method was still too sudden, regardless of whether he could accept it.
"She is from the wolf tribe?"
Hearing Song Xuan's question, Shi Meng nodded:
"Hehe~"
Now that Song Xuan heard the laughter, he wanted to punch it.
He took a slightly larger animal skin and wrapped it around the girl, and then said to several people:
"I……"
But before Song Xuan could say the next words, he saw Shi Meng suddenly jump in:
"Angel, you just promised!"
Promised...
This sentence made Song Xuan quite speechless. He was just perfunctory just now, but he didn't mean to promise anything.
"Promise what?"
"that is……"
Before Shi Meng finished speaking, a voice came from outside the house:
"Ahem~"
Listening to the voice, Song Xuan and Shi Meng both knew who it was.
Sure enough, Shi Yong and the others opened the door curtain and saw Water Witch and Shi Yan walking in together:
"Angel, it's time for you to find a spouse!"
This was the first time that Song Xuan saw everyone so aggressive. Even the water witch spoke with a bit of toughness. Song Xuan also knew that this must be the result of everyone's discussion, otherwise they would not be following him. He had just returned It didn't take long for people to arrive in the house one after another.
"Water Witch, it's up to me to choose!"
Upon hearing Song Xuan's words, the other people immediately frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with this long-used rejection method. This is not their fault. After all, every time Song Xuan mentioned this matter, They all used the same rhetoric, saying that they chose by themselves, but in the end, it was neither this nor that for the people they selected. They had different excuses every time. Obviously, these people didn't want to tangle with Song Xuan anymore. , this time they simply selected everyone in advance and did not let him participate at all.
