"Okay, I'm leaving. Stay in the tribe and tell Shihua and the others if you need anything!"
"Hmm~"
Although she had known that Song Xuan was leaving and it wouldn't take too long, Xueer's mood was obviously a lot lower after eating. Song Xuan was her first family member in the true sense, so it was okay to be reluctant to leave. understand.
After ruffling Xue'er's hair lovingly, Song Xuan jumped into the canoe, untied the cable and started the journey.
Six people, one boat. There weren’t many things on the boat. They were all daily necessities and food. They were traveling lightly. This time, the deal with the cattle tribe was probably bigger, but that was also completed last fall. More than half of it.
This time, since we had to choose a new place and build it properly, we had more people in the first batch, so we wouldn’t have to go through such trouble in the future.
Several other tribes also sent out teams in the past two days. The cattle tribe, which was a little timid before, no longer hid, and directly loaded the livestock agreed upon last year on the ship.
In fact, after the first exchange of cattle, other tribes could basically guess it. After all, everyone in the cattle tribe looked much better. They used to speak submissively, but since Soaring Snake came, they have become much more confident. , obviously cannot escape its relationship.
However, with that kind of confidence, other tribes are not interested in him, so there is no competition, but they still regard him as Soaring Snake's younger brother, especially after last year's war. Although the tribes have about the same number of people, they are more interested in the relationship with Soaring Snake. If you are a good Niu Tribe, others will naturally think more highly of you.
On the other hand, the Grass and Wood tribes who had always had a dull relationship with Teng She felt regretful. In terms of relationship, they were obviously lagging behind. Needless to say, the Ox tribe had an marriage relationship with Teng She, but they didn't know that. That time it was Yanshi who married Tengshe.
But no matter what, they have nothing to do with each other. Even the previous Yanba mostly came from the Wolf tribe, and they were basically the younger brothers of the Kite and Bear tribes before. But now one of the two tribes is dead and one is disabled, and all of them are... Since they have all joined Soaring Snake, their previous relationship is naturally nothing.
In terms of relationships, they are far behind the other two tribes. Fortunately, there are not many tribes left now, and Teng She does not have much ambition in their eyes, even according to the current situation. If we continue to get along with each other, there shouldn't be any big problems. However, several tribes actually have their own ideas about the future, and they have also prepared for the worst. If they can't resist, they might as well enjoy it, at least Teng She The living conditions are worse than them.
Facing the powerful Black Feather Tribe, the Kite and Bear Tribes resisted, but the result seemed a bit too tragic. The Teng Snake's strength was even stronger than the Black Wolf Alliance, which they considered completely irresistible. After many supplements, it has improved a lot. Under this situation, if Soaring Snake does anything unusual, resistance seems to have lost much meaning.
Although several tribes have not met yet, their plans for the future are all surprisingly consistent. After Teng She's people rushed to several tribes, although they were a little curious about why things were going like this this year, they quickly packed up their preparations. Things used for exchange, and at the same time, they entertained Teng She's visitors with delicious food and drinks.
The people who were arranged to notify the several tribes were not all the original Soaring Snakes. Instead, it would be more convenient for people from other tribes to communicate with them, and they could also speak out from their own experience, which could be regarded as helping the current Soaring Snake tribe. Promoted.
Shi Mao's arrangement is also very high-level, one tribe per tribe, and Duan Shui has been learned by him. However, as the main force of the tribe's trade in the future, there is no problem with the abilities of these few people. They are usually the most capable in the tribe. Nao Nao, even the Soaring Snake Tribe is relatively familiar with it after so many interactions.
The improvement in Teng She's strength naturally has an impact not only on life, but also on self-confidence, especially after defeating the powerful Black Wolf coalition. However, these few people are not the kind of arrogant people. The words were not only interesting, but also very persuasive. They actually frightened several tribesmen into being stunned, with little stars in their eyes spinning around.
However, regarding the reception in the evening, several people waved their hands in a tacit understanding. There is a lot of trouble in the tribe this winter. Although as long as the weather is good, there will be something busy every day, but after all, it will not be too tiring, and the public rations are even less. It cannot be less. Due to the harsh environment, everyone is thinking about having more children when they are free. Moreover, the survival rate in this era is already small. Even for Tengshe, which has relatively rich products, the number of babies born in the past few days after moving here is very small. Only about 70% survived, and the risk will be even greater in the future. It’s hard to say how many people will be able to reach adulthood by then. It looks like half of them are pretty good. This is true for Teng She, and others. The tribe is even worse.
Since the survival rate is relatively low, and it is not easy to increase it significantly in a short period of time, even if Song Xuan has begun to try to improve the model of raising children in the tribe, it will still take time. Now he still has to win through quantity, as long as there are enough children , then naturally more people will survive.
Giving birth to children is also a task that every woman needs to complete. There is even some comparison between women. The status of those who have more children will naturally be higher in the tribe. Naturally, they cannot be taken care of during normal hunting. Even if they come back occasionally, they will be satisfied. Being physically exhausted, most of the time I can only rest for half a day, or even just one night, so I feel powerless to think of any activities.
It's rare to return to the comfortable tribe, so everyone naturally wants to have a good rest, and can only communicate as much as they want during the relatively leisurely winter. The women in the tribe are already very wild, so this winter is naturally a lot of trouble. At first, everyone may still be They were in high spirits, but no one could stand it after a long time, especially those who were not pregnant, and they tossed their spouses even more. After one winter, those who had been tossing the more miserable ones had no idea about this at all, and several people were working on it. In this case, this exchange can be regarded as a rare rest time. Naturally, I refused very decisively to the special entertainment arranged by several tribes.
But from the perspective of Ushikawa and the others, they felt that the quality of these people was very high. However, they did not expect that this was completely caused by the women of Teng She. In the past, the exchange meeting was usually held after a month, so Everyone will have a certain amount of time to recover, but this year it started at the beginning of spring. Without the recovery time, he will naturally appear more serious, which can be regarded as unintentional.
Just when several tribes were leaving, the new exchange conference had already chosen a location to start construction. Although the exchange did not have high requirements for buildings, the location was not so easy to choose. It was best to have one with no air leakage around it. , and the inside must be spacious enough. Naturally, a valley is more suitable for such a place, but there are not so many mountains further down the mountain, especially so the site selection also took a lot of effort.
Fortunately, among the people who went there was Shui Er, who was naturally more familiar with the surrounding environment. After many twists and turns, he finally found a satisfactory place, and there was also a small stream running through the foot of the mountain, although it was not very big. It's spacious, but it can barely accommodate a narrow canoe. Of course, people can't paddle inside.
However, even if you walk, it is less than half a day's journey. Although it is not as convenient as the previous place, it is not much different, and it will be relatively more secret. Although compared with the previous address, for several tribes It would take about a day to travel, but in fact it took them less time than before.
At least there is no need to change places back and forth, and the matter of notifying several tribes is completely left to Soaring Snake. It is worthwhile for them no matter how you calculate it.
After choosing the address, it was time to clean up the trees in the valley. When they left, Song Xuan asked them to bring two axes. The cleanup would naturally be faster. There were not many big trees in the valley chosen by Shi Mao and Shui Er. It’s not much, so it’s fairly easy to clean up.
And he brought a lot of wood with him when he left. There was no use for the wood in the valley, so most of it was burned clean by Shimao. The next step was to use the wood he brought to build a shed. , everyone in Teng She is already quite familiar with this set. Although there are not many people, the speed is not slow. It only takes two days to basically complete the general work.
The next task is to clean up the valley. A suitable place has been selected on the mountains around the selected ship docking place to store the exchange materials. This kind of place is naturally the best natural cave. Of course, it is not like this this time. Good luck.
This hill is not tall to begin with, only about 180 meters long. There are very few caves on the mountain. Although there are a few that are barely usable, they are all too far from the foot of the mountain.
In the end, we could only choose a dry place and use manual excavation to dig out a few caves. Fortunately, this is only a temporary storage, and if the weather is suitable, there is no problem in putting the exchanged items on the boat. Therefore, the requirements for the cave are not high, as long as the size is suitable and the inside is not too humid.
Since supplies also need to be guarded, a small wooden hut was built between the cave and the creek, so that the situation on both sides can be observed. In this way, each tribe only needs to leave one person in the house to Watch it.
No one in the tribe knew the new address. After calculating that the time was almost up, Shi Mao arranged for the two of them to leave the valley and rush to the original location of the Blackwater Tribe. This was also agreed before. If the time If there is no match, the tribe that came first will wait here, and then people arranged by Shi Mao and others will take them there.
"I caught two colds last month, and then had an operation. In addition, the update was interrupted at the beginning, so I was interrupted for such a long time. I'm very sorry. Although it's not cured yet, I can code. It's barely okay, but the overdose shouldn't be too much. I'm already sweating after 3,000, and I think it will take some time to recover. But if nothing else happens, there shouldn't be any big problems with subsequent updates. Sorry again or2"
