After solving the mantis tribe, winter has quietly arrived.
After the heavy snow closed the mountains, the Teng tribe was still the same as every winter before. Ordinary tribesmen worked hard to make various tools, while warriors carried out winter fishing and hunting to add some food to the tribe.
It is worth mentioning that because there was plenty of food, Jiang Xuan selected some skilled tourists outside the vine wall and asked them to join the vine tribe to polish stone tools, make weapons, sew animal skin clothing, etc. for the tribe.
As for those unskilled tourists, Jiang Xuan also left a way for them to survive, which was to work for the Teng tribe.
Polishing stone and bone tools is a very time-consuming task, and it takes a lot of time to make enough tools for the entire tribe.
Therefore, Jiang Xuan distributed some stones and bones to the tourists to polish them day and night, and then exchange them for some food or animal skins, so that they would not starve to death or freeze to death.
At the same time, Jiang Xuan allowed these tourists to do business with the Teng tribe.
For example, some tourists are lucky and find better stones or animal bones in the forest.
Then they can take out these stones and animal bones and exchange them with the Vine tribe for food, animal skins, and even salt.
By being hired and traded, some strong and lucky tourists can survive this winter.
As for those tourists who are weak and unlucky, they can only be eliminated by nature.
Because even if they work hard and obtain some survival resources, they are likely to be robbed by stronger people.
This is the tragedy of being a weak person.
No matter whether people are living well or not, time always passes at its own pace, little by little.
In the blink of an eye, the cold and painful winter passed.
Many people sleep in winter forever, while many people survive winter and usher in spring.
…
It’s early January, the fifth year since the establishment of the Vine Tribe.
"The sun is coming out!"
"We finally got over it!"
When the long-lost sun warmed the earth again, the ice and snow began to melt, and the tourists outside the vine wall jumped up with excitement.
Winter is desperate. Under the heavy snow, it is very difficult to find some food.
Things are different in spring. Even if you eat grass roots, wild vegetables, and insects, there is always a way to survive.
In the Teng tribe, Jiang Xuan carved a line of words on the Hsinchu slips made in winter: In the fifth year of the Teng tribe, January 1st, sunny.
"The fifth year!"
After Jiang Xuan finished carving, he felt very emotional.
When he first came to this world, he didn't know how to survive in the face of various traps.
But in the blink of an eye, four or five years passed.
Although he encountered various difficulties and dangers, he survived them all.
The Vine Tribe has grown from five people at the beginning to more than two thousand people now, and it is even continuing to grow.
"Squeak..."
Jiang Xuan opened the door of the house and looked at the sunshine in the yard, feeling relaxed and happy.
"Hey..."
Tangyuan walked out of the giant bird's nest in the bamboo shed and flapped its wings excitedly, causing the snow in the yard to fly everywhere.
In another bamboo shed, Black Wind Rhino Crescent Moon was lying in his nest, shaking off the snowflakes that flew to his head, snorting helplessly, and exhaled two streams of hot breath from his nostrils.
In terms of body shape, it can't compare to Tangyuan, and in terms of combat power, it can't compare to Tangyuan. Therefore, even if you are dissatisfied, you can only endure it.
Tang Yuan held his head high and didn't look at the crescent moon at all.
It skillfully opened the courtyard door, then went out through the gate that had been widened several times, trotted all the way to the open space in front of the altar, and took off directly.
It can't wait to find fresh prey.
"Crescent Moon, let's go, let's go out for a walk."
Jiang Xuan greeted, and Yue Ya immediately stood up from the nest, shook the fur on his body, then walked to Jiang Xuan and knelt down on his knees so that Jiang Xuan could sit on it.
After Jiang Xuan sat down, Yue Ya stood up again, and then led Jiang Xuan outside.
At this time, although the sun has risen, only a small part of the ice and snow has melted, and many bamboos bent and broken by the heavy snow can be seen everywhere.
Fortunately, the rattan tribe had already cleared a very wide road in the middle of the bamboo forest, otherwise it would have been difficult to get out.
Outside the bamboo forest, most of the people from the Teng tribe came out to bask in the sun.
Jiang Xuan walked to the house on the left side of the tribe and saw Uncaria and Poria. Poria was still holding their child in her arms.
Jiang Xuan jumped off Yue Ya's back, walked to Fuling, and looked at the child she was holding.
"Oh, little Tiandong is growing up very fast!"
In just over four months, Tiandong grew from a wrinkled baby to a plump and fat doll.
She has a round face, long eyelashes, big eyes, a cute little nose, a rosy little mouth, and little hands like fat lotus roots. She is very cute.
Fuling smiled and said: "Thanks to the tribe, there is enough food and I eat well."
The Vine tribe gives preferential treatment to pregnant women, nursing mothers and babies. Even in winter, they will try to let them eat as much fish as they catch in the winter, fresh animal meat and other foods.
Jiang Xuan shook Tiandong's little hand and said, "Grow up quickly and become a brave and powerful warrior in the future!"
At this moment, Xiao Tiandong grinned. His innocent smile made people feel better when they saw it.
Undouji on the side also laughed. Since becoming a father, he has become much more mature than before and has become more stable in his work.
Jiang Xuan teased the child again, and then continued to patrol the tribe on his crescent moon.
When he walked outside the stone tool workshop, he was surprised to find that many people from the planting team were here, and everyone looked quite excited.
What is this doing?
Jiang Xuan felt puzzled, so he got off Yueyue's back and prepared to go in and take a look.
At this moment, the people inside ran out one after another.
"Come out, come out!"
The crowd gathered around Old Man Blackstone, all eyes focused on an instrument in his hand.
Jiang Xuan only glanced at the utensil and couldn't move his eyes away.
"Quyuanli! It's really made!"
What Old Man Blackstone is holding is a curved shaft plow made of wood and stone.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The plow shaft is made of naturally curved wood, and the plow tip and plow bed are also made of fine wood.
The plow blades and plow walls are made of fine stone.
Among them, the most important plow and shovel are made of high-quality stone, which is extremely hard and not easily damaged.
Although this curved shaft plow looks simple, it has actually been made for a long time and has been improved countless times.
If it can really work, the productivity of the current production methods of the Vine Tribe will be greatly improved!
After Jiang Xuan arrived, the onlookers made way to let Jiang Xuan in.
Everyone respects the leader very much.
After Jiang Xuan entered, he saw Gan Song squatting on the ground, stroking Quyuli like a baby, his movements very gentle.
"Is the manufacturing completed?" Jiang Xuan looked at Old Man Blackstone.
"It's done." Old Blackstone nodded affirmatively.
"However, we will have to wait until the snow melts and take the cows to the fields to try it out to see if it can be used."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "Then let's wait until the snow melts and try it. If it works, your stone tool workshop will have made a great contribution, and the rewards you deserve will not be less."
Old Blackstone said humbly: "Thank you, chief."
On the ground, Gan Song didn't even want to say anything. He only had Quyuanli in his eyes.
He was looking forward to whether this thing could bring about huge changes to the planting team as the leader said.
People on the planting team, including other spectators, were also talking excitedly. Everyone wanted to know what kind of effect this thing could have.
