The valley is not as interesting as the wild, but everything is very new to Xue'er. Song Xuan also arranges Xue'er to do some things that she can do.
I haven’t been here for more than half a year, and the valley looks very messy, so I still have to clean it up during the cooking time. This time, the ditch dug before is still unobstructed, and I only need to remove the dried water from the small puddle. Just clean up the fallen branches and leaves.
Song Xuan also asked people to walk along this canal to the source to see if there were any abnormalities along the way. There is no need to worry too much about the water quality in this era, but after all, it is a man-made ditch. It is still a bit awkward in this area. Animals will inevitably come to drink water, and Song Xuan is also worried that small beasts will die in the canal. After all, the amount of water is very small. Once it is contaminated, the entire tribe will be affected.
"Angel, you're clean!"
After simply patrolling the rocks and soil, he found no animal carcasses, at most some insects and the like, which had no impact. He took the branches to clean up these debris, which could be regarded as dredging the entire canal. After all, it was originally It is relatively narrow, and there is a lot of miscellaneous things accumulated, and it can easily become blocked.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~"
After taking a short rest after the meal, everyone began to get busy. There was not much salt in the tribe anymore, so naturally we had to seize all the time to dig some and bring it back after refining it. However, it was rare to get it out once, so it must reach a certain amount. It must at least satisfy the tribe’s use this year.
The whole process was a little easier just crushing the ore and boiling the salt. When boiling the salt, one person had to be responsible for several large pots, and it was smoky and hot, so Song Xuan finally let Xueer participate in the stone-breaking. , Xueer's step is already the last step in digging salt. Most of the ore in her hand is only the size of soybeans. All she needs to do is to crush it with stones, and then use a small broom to clean it into a basin on the side. After accumulating to a certain amount, subsequent refining can be carried out.
The refining of salt is still the same as before. It may be that the salt ore inside contains less impurities. This time the salt seems to be a little whiter, but even so, it is still a little worse than Karasuba's salt, and it is not at all. It's not that important if it affects your daily consumption.
…………
When Song Xuan and his men were digging salt ore, Xiong Guo and his party were already only one day away from the Niu tribe. The closer they walked to the Niu tribe, the more nervous Xiong Guo and the others became. The food they carried was already They've basically finished eating. If the Cow Tribe can't accept them, there will really be no way out.
Compared with the uneasiness in Xiong Guo and the others, Cao Miao was obviously much less stressed. She also saw the state of Xiong Guo and the others. It was only two days before they and their children left. Two thirds.
Although Xiong Guo and the others would intentionally carry Cao Miao when cooking, when walking on the road, Cao Miao could clearly see that the packages on their bodies were very empty. Even if they didn't do anything behind them, these dozen people wouldn't be able to hold on for long. .
Of course, the best news is that the two people he secretly sent to the Niu Tribe have returned to the team not long ago. The news of the survival of Xiong Guo's group has also been successfully brought to the Niu Tribe. As for what happened after arriving at the Grass Tribe , Caomiao did not hide anything, and asked the two to talk to Ushikawa in more detail.
Now that we are ready to cooperate, there is no need to play tricks anymore. The most important thing now is naturally to find a way to send Xiong Guo and his group to Soaring Snake.
According to the two people, Ushikawa had no objection to the proposed opinion for the time being. He just said that he would wait until Xiong Guo and the others arrived. This was understandable. After all, these dozen people appeared very suddenly. The members of the Kite and Xiong tribes The experience is right in front of him, and the Kusanagi tribe is coming again with this rhetoric. Before he saw the person with his own eyes, Ushikawa would definitely be on guard, but that's what happened, so Kusanao wasn't worried. I believe that after he saw the person, he wouldn't There will be so many scruples.
When they agreed to Xiong Guo's request, Cao Miao felt more confident. After all, it was related to the Teng She Tribe, and the Niu Tribe would most likely not refuse. Now it seems that as long as the people from the two tribes cooperate well, it should be There won't be any big surprises.
In order to avoid being noticed by Xiong Guo and the others, after the two of them finished talking about the matter, Cao Miao asked them to leave the team. After all, there were not many people from the Cao Tribe who came with them. Xiong Guo and the others were just two adults and a dozen children. That's all, Cao Miao felt that it was enough for him to bring seven people, plus his own eight people.
There were suddenly two more people in the eight-person team, and they were easily noticed, especially Xiong Guo, who had been paying attention to them.
Fortunately, Cao Miao and his group kept a distance from Xiong Guo and the others during the day, and the people were relatively scattered. The two people suddenly appeared next to Cao Miao, but they did not attract Xiong Guo's attention.
Cao Miao is now waiting for a group of people to go to the Ox Tribe. If they solve it as soon as possible, they can also do their own tribe's work. Although Soaring Snake may not let them suffer, it is still a waste of their own tribe's time to wander around outside. Okay Spring has just begun, and time is not that precious. Compared with this little time, it is obviously more important to have a good relationship with Teng She.
Among the Niu tribe, Niu He actually believed most of it after receiving the news, but he still had to be vigilant, so he did not plan to send anyone out for hunting in the past two days. Everyone was active near the tribe, and at the same time I also went upstream and sent a few people there, making sure to report any unexpected situations in time.
The events of last year cast a huge shadow on several tribes, especially when the dark clouds later brought people to prepare to fish in troubled waters. Ushikawa was afraid that an accident would plunge his tribe into catastrophe, so even if the possibility was unlikely, he still did Being prepared is not only preparation for picking up people, but more importantly, preparation for escape.
Having learned the lessons of the Kite and Bear tribes, Ushikawa knew that when a small tribe like theirs faced an attack from a large tribe, it was very slim to hope that they could completely defend themselves. The defense would not only cost a lot of casualties, but would also not be possible. We will definitely get the desired result. As long as there are a slightly larger number of people, it is not difficult for tribes like them to conquer.
Since you can't defend it, you might as well think about how to escape. They have two legs. Moreover, this water network is relatively complex and has the advantage of being familiar with the terrain. As long as they can prepare in advance, most people will definitely be able to escape. Born.
Even if the tribe cannot be rebuilt by then, the worst option is to flee to Soaring Snake. This is also a very good choice. At least the gods will not treat them like slaves.
Of course, this kind of thought only occurs when they are attacked. If they usually live a good life, it is definitely more comfortable to stay in their own tribe, even if the conditions are not that good.
As for how to treat the remaining children of the Bear Tribe, Ushikawa didn't think too much after learning the situation. Cao Miao was right. Sending them to Soaring Snake was the safest way. Several of their tribes No one has the ability to absorb so many people on their own, and spreading them out is not a good plan. If Teng She learns about it, it will affect the relationship between the two parties. It is better to send them all over, so as long as this is indeed the case, he is willing to cooperate. Grass seedlings, put on a show.
While all the tribes in the south were running for their own lives, the Black Feather tribe in the north was plunged into anger.
"Where are the people?! Why haven't Wuyun and the others come back yet??!"
Hearing the furious voice of King Wu, the people of the Wuyun tribe under the throne did not dare to take a breath.
Before the coming of last winter, Wu Yun had never seen anyone return to the tribe, but they didn't take it to heart. After all, there was not much time left for Wu Yun and his party. There were more than a dozen tribes in the south, including There are many tribes with more than a hundred people, and it is quite difficult to fight. Although there is no possibility of failure in their view, the time of running back and forth, plus the time consumed by the attack, will definitely not be too short.
So everyone didn't pay too much attention, and although they wasted two months, Wuyun and the others didn't take too many supplies with them when they left. The food they had accumulated before was still very sufficient, so the whole winter was safe. However, since the beginning of spring, the dark clouds have not come back with anyone, and there is no one who can even tell the news. This is very wrong.
After all, Wu Yun brought such a large team out at that time. Apart from King Wu's guards, there were only more than a hundred adult males in the tribe.
Although the fighting power of these three hundred people is not as strong as that of King Wu's guards, they are still quite capable of fighting among the surrounding tribes. King Wu is now worried that after Wu Yun conquered the tribes in the south, he has other ideas in his mind. After all, the three hundred people With a team of people and so many captives, a large tribe could be established alone.
Even this tribe has the ability to compete with Wu Yun. The more King Wu thinks about it, the more he thinks it is possible. After all, Wu Yun's strength and reputation are not much worse. If it can bring enough benefits to the remaining people, it would be okay to defect to the Wu Yu tribe. It's not impossible. The Black Feather Tribe gradually became stronger through multiple plunders. It doesn't have strong cohesion like other tribes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to use the personal guard to intimidate his subordinates.
So seeing that Wu Yun had not sent anyone back for a long time, King Wu sent a few people to check the specific situation half a month ago. But after all, the distance was not short, and it was a mountainous road all the way. It was quite difficult to walk on the Spring Road just after starting. This small group of people has not returned yet. There has been no news, and they are inevitably feeling a little irritable.
However, such venting is normal in the Wuyu tribe, so everyone can only bear it silently and wait for King Wu to vent. If he doesn't say it or do it, there will basically be no accidents, and they won't worry that the anger will spread to themselves. .
