Let Go Of That Primordial Man

With Master Niu's earnest advice, and the bright prospect of the Blackstone tribe being able to produce salt, Mang couldn't even wait for the high-level meeting to end, so he left in a hurry.

Soon, you can hear this guy shouting at the top of his voice to gather the hunting team: Hurry up and get your equipment ready, and come to my place to gather; anyone who dares to dawdle, then quit the hunting team. Go to the picking team and those old women, go pick fruit together!

After arranging the work of the hunting team, Master Niu began to arrange the work of the picking team, which now has three brigades and nearly 400 people.

He began to give instructions to Cai: The wild fruits collected every day are enough for everyone to eat; when the picking team leaves for the next two days, I will go out with you, and we need to collect some food that can be preserved for a long time.

Master Niu had his own considerations for making this decision. The severe drought in the Luolei Mountains has already begun, but in the recent period, the soil still has a considerable amount of water, and wild fruits are still very abundant.

Without exception, these wild fruits that contain juice will not last long after being picked; after a few days, they will rot to the point of being completely inedible.

Of course, after cleaning these wild fruits, they can indeed be made into preserved fruits; it’s just that when eaten as a snack, the preserved fruits are sour and sweet, which is very appetizing, but if you really want to eat them as a staple food, you may be able to eat them. The natives of the Blackstone tribe are filled with sour water in their stomachs every day, and they can't stand it even for a few days.

This is the fundamental reason why Master Niu intends to follow the picking team and set out together these two days; he hopes to try his luck in the surrounding mountains and forests to see if he can find kudzu root and yam, which are relatively preserved for a long time thing.

Last year, when Mr. Niu was looking for medicinal materials in the surrounding mountains and forests, he still couldn't recognize or know these things; fortunately, this time he returned to the modern plane, followed old doctor Chen, studied for a day and a half, and finally understood After eating these good things that can be eaten and used as medicine...

Cai naturally agreed, and Master Niu then made a series of arrangements in the high-level meeting for the construction of the tribe, the strengthening of the tribe's armed forces, and the reclamation and planting of corn fields.

Faced with the sudden increase in complicated affairs due to the arrival of the drought, Mr. Niu suddenly discovered that the Blackstone tribe, which usually uses half-grown cubs as labor, is actually somewhat stretched in human hands.

Just continue to reclaim 200 acres of new land, and then plant the 300 acres of land with new summer corn and soybeans in time before the water in the land is dried.

A considerable amount of manpower is needed. For this reason, Master Niu directly arranged one hundred and fifty women and one hundred and a half-year-old cubs to take charge of this work; This crop of summer corn and soybeans is urgently sown.

As for the many vegetables and fruit seeds brought by Mr. Niu this time, Mr. Niu only planned to plant a small amount in the end; he was quite skeptical about whether these fruits and vegetables could be grown under the condition of lack of water. Attitude.

Although the picking team and the cornfield reclamation team are all operating in relatively safe areas around the tribe, in order to prevent accidents, the necessary protective force is still needed; in this way, 50 ordinary tribe fighters were arranged to in this work.

Due to the lack of manpower, the intense construction work of the Blackstone tribe had to be completely suspended; fortunately, the most important cabins on stilts, the simple wooden city walls around the tribe, and several warehouses have been officially completed.

The rest of the ancillary buildings can be built slowly without any major impact; but even in this manpower-intensive situation; Master Niu still mobilized a hundred ordinary tribal fighters, as well as him from the Spring Festival. Ten slaves bought back.

These one hundred and ten strong laborers were invested in the project of excavating a moat outside the city wall; this moat, which is five meters wide and three meters deep, is actually more aptly described as a moat.

Narrow is a little bit narrow, because the depth is not enough under the current situation where water cannot be drawn; but with the current threats facing the Blackstone tribe, Master Niu probably still barely enough.

Before, the wooden city wall was only about eight meters high, and a first-level totem warrior could easily climb up it with bare hands; but after adding this moat, it was quite difficult.

What's more, Master Niu intends to insert all the discarded stone spears in the warehouse at the bottom of the moat after the completion of the project; The beasts attacking the Blackstone tribe will reap a huge surprise...

The last ones to work were more than 20 craftsmen headed by Lao Lai. These craftsmen had more or less physical disabilities. Naturally, Master Niu would not arrange physical work for them.

The old lame people will, during this period of time, according to the style given by Master Niu, make a few stone mills that can process corn and soybeans; No milk, but some soy milk is fine.

After finishing the stone mill, the lame leg and others will make various protective leather armors; with the inventory of the Blackstone tribe today, all warriors will get a piece of leather armor.

The leather armor is light and strong, and it can be worn inside the rattan armor and breastplate, which will add another layer of protection for the warriors of the Blackstone tribe; the meeting is here, and the whole Blackstone tribe, except for those little dolls who really can't help, all With their own work.

In order to have reached the immediate survival crisis, they began to get busy...

*****

On the afternoon of the third day after the meeting, in the forest about ten miles away from the village of the Heishi Tribe.

Master Niu pouted his buttocks, and with his hands that were already covered with soil, he quickly pulled the soil at the root of a low plant. Soon, what he was looking forward to, a bunch of kudzu roots the size of sweet potatoes, appeared in front of his eyes.

Secretly, Mr. Niu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He has been wandering in the mountains for almost three days. He dug up many plants with similar stalks on the ground. Only yesterday afternoon, he found the wild Huaishan. It was dug out just now.

After confirming the shape of the stalk, the next thing will be much easier. Master Niu raised the yellow-brown stalk with coarse hairs to Cai and said: Take it to everyone in the picking team to get a clear understanding. When you see this in the mountains, dig up all the underground stems regardless of their size; as long as it can fill your stomach, don't dislike the taste.

As soon as Cai walked away with the stalk of kudzu root, a warrior left behind in the tribe ran over in a burst; he brought news that after two hunting teams went out for three days, one of them finally returned safely.

They have important matters to report to Master Niu!

The third watch is over, but there are still nights, so I ask you if you are surprised or not!
