Chapter 50 Harvest

 The first year of the establishment of the Fuji Tribe, August 20th.

The autumn wind blew, and in just a few days, the fields of the vine tribe were covered with golden yellow.

In the field, Jiang Xuan personally took the bone thorn, and under everyone's attention, he carefully dug out a big round potato with red skin, and then held it high above his head.

"Autumn harvest!"

Jiang Xuan's face was filled with joy and shouted, and a loud voice spread throughout the tribe.

All the tribe members of the Teng Tribe cheered immediately. Although there were not many people, the tribes had loud voices and sounded quite loud.

Even the old witch, who did not belong to the Vine Tribe, was infected by the atmosphere when she saw this scene and her face was a little excited.

“Excavation!”

Gan Song held the bone thorn in one hand and immediately started working after people cheered.

Soon, everyone joined the ranks of digging round potatoes.

After working hard for more than half a year, we finally got a harvest. When we watched the round potatoes dig up from the ground, everyone was very happy.

This is all food!

The laughter and joy of the tribe members sounded from time to time in the fields of the vine tribe. Although they were so hot that they were sweating profusely, no one called them tired, and no one was lazy.

With this food, they don’t have to worry about food shortage in winter.

The old witch was walking in the field. He picked up a round potato, wiped the soil on it, and said excitedly: "Through planting, you can actually harvest so much food!"

Although he had long noticed that the planting method of the Vine Tribe is different from that of other tribes, when he saw the grain output of the Vine Tribe with his own eyes, he was still deeply shocked.

In fact, in the Eastern Wilderness, all large tribes have basically separated from slash-and-burn farming, and have accumulated some cultivation experience through long-term practice.

Even so, their cultivation methods are still very backward.

The food obtained through cultivation is far less than that of raising some herbivores.

Not only the Eastern Wilderness, but also the same in other places.

Large tribes usually mainly hunt, and also breed some herbivores and plant some fruit trees and wild vegetables with high yields and easy-to-live fruit trees and wild vegetables to maintain the food needs of the people.

They also understand the importance of turning over the ground. Tools such as bone horns and plows (lěi, si) were invented based on the needs of turning over the ground.

They also learned to weed, catch insects, and even learned to apply initial fertilization, that is, to sprinkle some wood ash into the ground and bury some bones.

But after all, they are not mainly planting, and their accumulated experience is very limited.

What's more, once natural disasters, insect disasters, etc. occur, the crops planted may be pelleted and harvested.

Because of this, tribes do not attach much importance to planting, and they spend most of their energy on hunting and taming of herbivorous beasts.

Therefore, when the old witch discovered that the crops grown by the Vine Tribe were actually very high, the shock in his heart was hard to describe in words.

The old witch walked to Jiang Xuan, grabbed his hand, looked at the big round potato in his hand with glowing eyes, and asked anxiously: "How did you do it?"

"What?"

Jiang Xuan felt a little confused, and the old witch's mental state was a little crazy.

"Why can you harvest so many round potatoes grown by your vine tribe?"

Jiang Xuan finally knew what the old witch was asking. He thought the old witch was crazy just now.

Jiang Xuan said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just some cultivation experience. I just tell you this way, it's hard for you to understand. Why not live in our tribe for a year and see it yourself?"

"Go and see it yourself?"

The old witch frowned and thought for a while. Then, he let go of Jiang Xuan's hand and stretched his eyebrows, but his eyes became more firm.

"Okay, then I'll try to live longer and go see it myself!"

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "I'll send this round potato back first. This is the first round potato dug out this year, and it will be used to worship the vine god at that time."

"Sacrifice?" The old witch accurately grasped the key part of Jiang Xuan's words.

"Yes, if it weren't for the protection of the Vine God, our small tribe would have been gone long ago."

"Now the crops have been harvested and the breeding has achieved initial success. The tribe has sufficient food. I plan to take this opportunity to hold an autumn sacrifice, thank God of Vine."

"Not only that, if the vine tribe can grow smoothly, after the autumn harvest every year, we will hold a sacrificial ceremony to sacrifice to the vine god with the best food, fish, livestock, prey and other sacrifices."

Jiang Xuan has been thinking about this for a long time.

If you want to protect the tribe for a long time, you have to give the tribe some rewards and cannot unilaterally ask for it.

Holding a sacrifice is the best way to repay the divine vine.

Rich sacrifices can allow the divine vine to absorb more nutrients and grow better.

Jiang Xuan guessed that this was also the reason why the Divine Teng agreed to become the patron saint of the tribe.

According to the current situation, the divine vine cannot be moved, at least it cannot be moved at present.

In this case, as it continues to grow, the soil under the stone mountain will only become more and more barren. If the divine vine wants to absorb more nutrients, it can only rely on some prey it occasionally caught, besides desperately extending its root system.

But over time, even the nearby beasts and birds of prey dare not approach, and it became difficult for the divine vine to obtain more nutrients.

The appearance of Jiang Xuan and others and the sacrifice to it just solved the problem that the divine vine was difficult to absorb more nutrients.

The divine vine protects the tribe, and the tribe uses various sacrifices to repay the divine vine. This is completely mutually beneficial to the vine tribe and the divine vine.

The bigger the vine tribe, the more sacrifices the divine vine can obtain, and the divine vine will become stronger and form a virtuous cycle.

The old witch nodded and said, "That's right, it's time to sacrifice well."

"However, there are no witches in your tribe, who will preside over the sacrificial ceremony?"

Jiang Xuan said embarrassedly: "I hosted the last time."

"You can sacrifice?" The old witch looked at Jiang Xuan with an incredible face.

"No." Jiang Xuan answered honestly.

"Then how did you host?"

"Just... send the sacrifice to the altar, and then greet the Vine God to enjoy it, and pray to the Vine God to protect the tribe..."

"You need to say nothing, I understand." The corner of the old witch twitched a few times, and she turned her head slightly.

As a witch who has been learning various sacrificial rituals since childhood, when he heard Jiang Xuan’s simple and rough sacrificial rituals, he felt unbearable to look at them.

The old witch thought for a while and said, "If you don't mind, I can teach Chishao the sacrificial ceremony and let her preside over this autumn sacrifice."

Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up and he said surely: "I don't mind, of course I don't mind. I'll thank you for my sister first."

The old witch waved her hand and then left, obviously very despised Jiang Xuan's embarrassing method of sacrifice.

Jiang Xuan didn't care, and even agreed with Chi Shao as a witch.

After all, this is his real sister!

If it weren't for Red Peony, he would have been dead in the dangerous jungle long ago.

Even the position of the leader was given to him by Chishao.

Therefore, he was not worried about the issue of being seized from power in the future.

Jiang Xuan returned to the bamboo house, put the first big round potato dug out, and then participated in the autumn harvest.

Soon, the cellar that the Vine Tribe had previously dug in the tunnel came in handy.

Those tuber grains that can be preserved for a long time, such as round potatoes, stone eggs, etc., are placed in the cellar to keep warm and moisturizing, and are not prone to rot.

Jiang Xuan also put some of the leaves-like wild vegetables in the cellar, and some of them were dried into dried vegetables, so they could be cooked and eaten at that time.

When a large amount of food was piled up in several bamboo houses, everyone's hearts were calm and they would even wake up laughing when dreaming at night.
