Vol 2 Chapter 260 Vine Tribe Year 7

Winter days are always long and repetitive. After Jiang Xuan returned to the tribe, he took the hunting team out a few times, and also included some tourists who were about to starve to death, and rectified the defense of the tribe. One winter passed like this. One day, after Jiang Xuan got up, he heard the clicking sound from under the eaves. He knew that the ice and snow on the roof began to melt. He took a brief shower, then pushed open the door, and a cold air rushed in. When the snow melts, it feels colder than snow. The cloudy sky that had been hazy for a long time finally dissipated, and the long-lost sunlight shone on the ground, making the ice and snow melt faster. “Seventh year.” Jiang Xuan walked into the yard, bathed in the sunlight, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. In the bamboo forest, after the snow and ice on a bamboo melted, it fell to the ground, and the bamboo slowly rebounded, but after being pressed for a winter, it could no longer return to a straight state. Jiang Xuan returned to the house, took out the Hsinchu bamboo slips that had been prepared, and dipped the animal brush with special paint, and wrote the five characters “The Seven Years of the Rattan Tribe” on the first piece of the bamboo slips. Afterwards, he wrote another line on the second bamboo slip: the first day of January, sunny. “Huh” Jiang Xuan laid the bamboo slip flat on the table, and after the writing on the bamboo slip dried, he could put it away. In fact, at the beginning, Jiang Xuan used the lettering method. However, there is a problem with the lettering method, that is, the engraved words are not conspicuous, and it needs to be painted again with paint to see the words clearly. Later, Jiang Xuan discovered that the red peony was prepared, and the pigment used for writing the animal skin scroll was particularly good, and it could be stored for a long time if it was written directly. Therefore, later he simply stopped engraving and wrote directly on the bamboo slips with an animal brush, which is convenient and practical. After recording the date as usual, Jiang Xuan began to inspect the tribe, and when he saw those places with potential safety hazards, he asked the soldiers to deal with them in advance. Two days later, as the river water rose, the thick ice cubes on the Feiyu River melted rapidly under the scouring of the river water. Cracks appeared in the ice layer on the “Katsakaza” river, and then the cracked ice began to collide with each other and slowly drifted downstream. On the river bank, the soldiers of the fishing team watched as the ice on the river broke little by little, and everyone became excited. When the ice surface moved faster and faster and the river began to rush, the leader of the fishing team, Nepeta, shouted: “The river is open!” “Okay!” “We can fish!” The soldiers of the fishing team shouted. There was a tsunami of cheers, and they had had enough of the long winter and couldn’t wait to go out fishing. The other tribesmen of the Vine tribe also had smiles on their faces when they heard the cheers of the fishing team. The river opened, representing the official passing of winter, and when all the snow and ice on the ground melted, they could start the new year’s work. It’s not that the people of the Teng tribe like to work, but because they can only sit and eat in the mountains in winter, giving people a very unsteady feeling. They are all people who have experienced hunger and cold. They know very well that if they want to avoid starvation, they must work hard. Only by working hard can they bring more food and it is not easy to go hungry. After the river opened, two days later, the ice and snow on the ground had almost melted. The clansmen of the Vine tribe started to get busy. Hunting teams and fishing teams were dispatched one after another, and planting teams also started a new round of land reclamation and digging of existing fields. The breeding team began to repair the pens damaged by the heavy snow, because after the arrival of spring, both livestock and poultry will usher in the breeding season. The trading area has also reopened after being replenished with a large batch of goods. The entire vine tribe, showing a thriving scene. At the end of January, the weather was getting warmer, and Jiang Xuan handed over a large amount of seeds obtained from the Black Teeth Tribe last winter and fish scales from the Crocodile Tribe to Gan Song, the leader of the planting team. “These seeds were brought back from the central part of the Southern Wilderness. Each small animal skin bag is a kind of grain or vegetable seed. You can still find a few fertile fields and plant them separately as before.” If we are lucky, we can get some grains and vegetables suitable for planting here from these seeds.” “Of course, some grains and vegetables may not adapt to the climate here, and they will not live or grow or bear fruit. It’s normal, you don’t have to blame yourself.” Gan Song looked at the seeds, his eyes were shining. As the leader of the planting team, Gan Song has become a maniac, especially fond of new seeds. Jiang Xuan took out the fish scale grass again and said, “Although these fish scale grasses are dry, the fish scale fruit inside is still intact.” “There are seeds in the fish scale fruit. You can directly plant the fish scale fruit next to the stream, or in a low-lying area. Let’s see if they can grow.” When Jiang Xuan came back from the middle of the Southern Wilderness, it was the cold winter season, the ground was covered with snow and ice, and these fish scales could not be planted immediately, so they all dried up. “Don’t worry, leader, I will plant them well.” Gan Song took the task with confidence. Jiang Xuan nodded and said, “I trust you.” After handing these seeds to Gan Song, Jiang Xuan left the planting team and went to the wild boar forest in the northern part of the tribe. The wild boar forest is surrounded by a tall vine wall, outside there are a group of tree people inspired by divine vines, and more than a thousand prisoners are held inside. The captives, taken last summer when the wild boar tribe was wiped out, have been held here. After more than half a year of detention, the stubborn elements among the prisoners were basically eliminated, and the temper of the remaining people was almost worn down. Last winter, Jiang Xuan selected twenty squad leaders among these captives and promised them favors. With these team leaders who are familiar with the situation, these prisoners are more strictly controlled, and they can’t escape and can only work obediently. The gate of the “crunch” wild boar forest was opened, and the leader of the second guard of the Vine tribe, Xanthella, greeted him from inside. “Chief, you are here.” Jiang Xuan said: “Is everything ready for you to prepare?” Xanthium hurriedly nodded: “Everything is ready.” “Then go in.” Jiang Xuan After speaking, he stepped inside. After entering the gate, the first thing you see is a wide road. This road was opened up by the prisoners little by little, and it was covered with a lot of gravel. On both sides of the road, there are pieces of newly cultivated land. There is no planting in the land for the time being. There are many small grasses, which look green and green, which is pleasing to the eye after viewing. Further afield, large numbers of captives are continuing to clear the wasteland with tools. They cut down trees in suitable places for reclamation, and then burned them with fire to burn off the weeds, thorns, shrubs, roots, etc. on the ground, and at the same time, they could burn a large number of insect eggs. After the burning, they used various digging tools to turn the soil over bit by bit. The stones in the ground and the roots of trees and grasses that could not be burned should be dug out and cleaned up. Land reclamation is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive job. Even if these prisoners are all soldiers, they are exhausted and complaining one by one. After a long time, they don’t even have the strength to resist. After working every day, they just want to eat and sleep well. Jiang Xuan walked along the road, and when he reached the middle of the wild boar forest, there were a lot of wooden houses in front of him. These wooden houses are built in rows and are very neat. The roads, canals, ponds, etc. between the wooden houses are also scattered, making it hard to believe that all the prisoners here are prisoners. In other tribes, the prisoners lived in places like pigsties, dirty, messy and smelly. Jiang Xuan asked, “Where is the newly built wooden house?” “At the back, I will lead the leader over there.” Xanthium led Jiang Xuan through the rows of wooden houses and came to an open space at the back. This open space started out as a wasteland, and now, twenty brand-new wooden houses have been built on the wasteland. Although these wooden houses are not very large, each one is independent and the wood is thick and strong. Jiang Xuan pushed open the door of a wooden house and looked inside. A fire pit has been dug in this wooden house, a bed has been laid, and some hay and a piece of animal skin are even placed on the bed. As long as the fire pit is lit, this wooden house can be lived in. “Not bad.” Jiang Xuan praised, and then said to Xanth’er: “Let those prisoners gather at the front.” “Yes!” Xian’er immediately asked his soldiers to gather the prisoners. Soon, the soldiers of the second guard team shouted, and the prisoners who were reclaiming the wasteland put down the tools in their hands, and then walked back one after another to gather in the open space in front of the residential area. Soon after, more than a thousand prisoners lined up under the command of their respective squad leaders, all standing in the open space. After Jiang Xuan and everyone else arrived, they stood on a high wooden platform in front of the open space and looked down at all the prisoners. Those prisoners all knew Jiang Xuan and knew that he was the leader of the Teng tribe, so they lowered their heads and dared not look at him. “I am the leader of the Vine tribe, Xuan, you should be familiar with me, do you know what I am here for today?” Those captives look at me, I look at you, no one answers. Jiang Xuan didn’t care, and continued: “Last winter, I selected twenty squad leaders among you, and I promised at the time that as long as they could manage everyone here, I would reward each of them with an independent one. The wooden house, and the opportunity to break away from the captive status and join the Vine tribe!” “So, I am here to fulfill my promise today!” Jiang Xuan’s words made the eyes of the team captains light up, whether it was the wooden house or the captive status. , the opportunity to join the vine tribe makes them very eager. “All the team leaders come to the front!” Jiang Xuan gave an order, and those team leaders ran to the front of the high platform one after another, and lined up, looking up at Jiang Xuan on the high platform. “Because of your good performance, on behalf of the Vine tribe, I will give each of you an independent wooden house, and you can move in tonight!” Excited, and thanked Jiang Xuan one after another. They have been waiting for this moment for a long time. With a smile on Jiang Xuan’s face, he stretched out his hand to press down, and the team leaders immediately closed their mouths and listened to Jiang Xuan continue to speak. “Except for the wooden house, I allow you to participate in the spring sacrificial ceremony of the Vine tribe on the periphery!” “If you don’t make any mistakes this year, if you don’t cause any trouble, then at the time of the sacrifice in the autumn, you will officially become members of the Vine tribe! “Jiang Xuan’s words made all the team captains short of breath, this is the chance they have been dreaming of! If they can get out of their captive status and join the Vine Tribe, they will no longer have to be trapped here and live such a hard life. Compared with joining the vine tribe, what is an independent wooden house? One of the team captains said, “Don’t worry, leader, we will definitely manage this place well, and we will never cause trouble for the tribe!” Jiang Xuan smiled and said, “I believe in you!” Jiang Xuan looked at the prisoners behind and said: ” It’s not just them, everyone is the same, as long as you work hard for the tribe, the Vine tribe will not treat anyone who works hard for the tribe!” “In the future, you will also have the opportunity to become a team leader and have the opportunity to live in an independent wooden house. There is also a chance to become a true clan of the Vine tribe!” Jiang Xuan’s words made the hearts of the prisoners in the back also ignited, and there was light in their eyes. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Since the wild boar tribe is a thing of the past, and since there is no way to escape, who doesn’t want to live a better life? “Okay, everyone, let’s go back to work. All the team leaders can move their belongings to the new wooden house at night.” “Thank you, leader!” The team leaders thanked Jiang Xuan, and then found their own prisoners. Take them to continue to reclaim the wasteland. This time, many prisoners were obviously working harder. Everyone saw the benefits that the team leaders got, and they hoped that they could get them in the future. Jiang Xuan watched the prisoners leave, and then came down from the high platform. Cocklebur looked at Jiang Xuan with admiration. In his opinion, Jiang Xuan’s methods were too powerful. Jiang Xuandao: “In the future, everyone will be rewarded for good performance. As for the reward food or something else, you can decide for yourself.” “We want to let these captives know that in the Veng tribe, as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded.” We will be rewarded.” “As long as a small number of prisoners start to work hard, others will follow slowly, and our speed of absorbing these prisoners will also speed up, understand?” “Understood.” Jiang Xuan said clearly, very To put it bluntly, if Xanthium still doesn’t understand, he is not fit to be the leader of the second guard team. After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he looked around in the wild boar forest again before leaving. The Vine Tribe is currently very short of population. If all these captives can be successfully converted, it will undoubtedly be a huge improvement to the strength of the Vine Tribe. After leaving the Wild Boar Forest, Jiang Xuan hadn’t gone far when another soldier came to report that there was an accident in the trading area, and Mallow asked him to come over. “What happened?” “Someone made fake knife coins to exchange for our goods.” “Fake knife coins?” Jiang Xuan was stunned. At present, the bronze smelting technology and confidentiality measures are very good, it should not be possible Just leak it out. Could it be that other tribes also mastered the smelting technology of bronze or other metals?
