Chapter 885: Ancient Farming by Internet Celebrities (20)
Small meat beasts can be shot with one arrow, while medium meat beasts require the cooperation of two people. If you encounter a ferocious beast, just follow the wizard's instructions. If you can't defeat it, just run away.
As the weather gradually cooled down, the pheasants that were captured alive were still dug into deep pits and fenced in. As long as the bison, wild deer, and wild goats were not injured, or not seriously injured, Xu Yin could cure them.
Later, I also found a piece of land to raise them.
There is nothing else on the gentle slope in front of the cave, just the place.
The thorny shrubs were transplanted into a small breeding farm with a diameter of about 20 meters. A doorway was left facing the tribe and a wooden door was installed.
Just gnawing grass and leaves may not be enough to eat them. The tribesmen will throw in dried wild fruits, wild vegetables, and leftover black potatoes that they despise to feed them.
As for water, a shallow ditch was dug along the mountain. The water left over from washing vegetables and wild fruits was poured into the ditch, and it would flow into the farm boundary.
The only trouble is - animal feces must be cleaned regularly, otherwise it will stink.
Xu Yin asked the people responsible for cleaning the farm to collect the excrement together for composting. If the wasteland is opened for farming next spring, there will be fertilizer.
As for the endless animal meat, in addition to smoking and salting it as before, Xu Yin also taught everyone how to make dried meat strips.
This is more durable than bacon and bacon. If it is thoroughly air-dried, it will not go bad after being stored for a year and a half.
In the winter, when it was snowing heavily outside and freezing cold, and everyone was hiding in the cave with nothing to do, they tore off a piece of dried meat, grilled it over the fire, chatted, and chewed it slowly, the more it tasted, the more delicious it became.
Xu Yin demonstrated how to make the dried meat and gave each of her subjects a small strip.
"tasty!"
"too delicious!"
"I can't taste the smell of animal meat at all."
"Yes! Only umami! So delicious!"
"And I'm very hungry. I won't feel hungry anymore after eating a small bar."
"When you come back from hunting more meat, you can make jerky like this if you can't finish it!"
The hunting team originally thought that the meat they had hunted back was quite a lot, enough for the whole tribe to survive the winter, so they planned to take it slow.
After all, if you keep drawing your bow and shooting arrows, the string will get damaged.
There are not many opportunities to hunt two-horned beasts, so the remaining deer tendons must be used sparingly.
But after tasting the dried meat, I became more motivated to hunt again.
He goes out early every day and comes back late every day, carrying a lot of meat on his back.
Ariel was the only member of the original hunting team who stayed behind in the tribe. He took two young men, Dashu and Xiaoshu, with crossbows in their hands to guard the mountain pass. He also taught the seven new men how to practice archery.
It was too late to build a group of bamboo buildings, but there was still time to build a simple sentry post with a high position and a distant view.
One person, a big tree or a small tree, stands guard in the bamboo pavilion with a set of bows on his back.
Ariel was teaching the men how to draw and aim their bows in the open space next to them.
"It doesn't matter if you can't pull it. The great witch said that your body has suffered too much and it will take some time to recover. Practice your aim first. After your body recovers, I will take you hunting."
"Can we have weapons like this?"
"Of course! People in our tribe, regardless of gender, old or young, as long as they can carry it, will have their own set of bows. And don't think that we have made it for you, you have to make it yourself. Come on! Keep practicing! Practice in the morning
Come on, I'll teach you how to make a crossbow this afternoon."
The men wiped their eyes with the backs of their hands and nodded vigorously: "We must practice hard!"
What to do! They were so moved that they almost cried!
Why is the new tribe so good!
How come the great witch is so good!
Not only did he save them and give them a place of freedom, but he also taught them such precious life-saving techniques!
practice!
You must practice hard! If you don't practice to hit the target with all your shots, you will be ashamed to face the great witch and the people of your tribe are so kind to them!
From then on, the Archer Squad, which was resounding throughout the Central Plains, was born.
…
The tigress lay bored not far away, watching the cubs rolling in the bushes. Sometimes she turned to look at the mountain pass. Why didn't the human who called her "sister" come back?
As for Zai Zi's father, Xu Yinzheng was sent to work as a coolie.
There was no way, the journey was too long, and it would take a lot of manpower to carry the things they collected back. Not only was it tiring, but it was also time consuming.
The winged tiger is much faster. Once it spreads its wings, it will be done in a short time.
They put the dug Panax notoginseng tubers into soft rattan bags, tied them tightly, tied them together, and hung them on the back of the male tiger.
The broad back can carry four large bags at a time.
After a few ups and downs, it was transported back to the tribe.
“Awesome!”
Dawa and Leah, who were teaching the newly joined women to knit various things, saw what the male wing tiger carried back and gave it a thumbs up like Xu Yin.
The male winged tiger looked sternly: I am the king of the forest, how can I be compared to you?
It walked to the side of the cub's mother with the steps of a king who would not recognize its relatives, and immediately transformed into a licking dog, no, a licking tiger, and nuzzled its daughter-in-law affectionately.
The tigress gave him a paw and growled: Why don't you go and help him? You just took a flight and you want to lie down and rest? You are reading a book.
There was no way, the tigress at home was too fierce, so the male tiger had to spread his wings again and fly to pick up the second and third batch of supplies.
A whole flying beast in the sky.
A-Dong sat at the entrance of the cave and learned about herbal medicine. Following Xu Yin's prescription, he carefully used precious clay pots to decoct the medicine for everyone's health.
After drinking it for five days, although the illness was not cured, I felt much more relaxed.
She stared at the medicine jar, noticing the interaction of the Yihu family with her peripheral vision, and her eyebrows arched, life like this is so good!
In that compartment, Xu Yin and the women have dug out most of the mature Panax notoginseng tubers, leaving only a few scattered red Panax notoginseng flowers for breeding, so that more Panax notoginseng can be reproduced next spring.
Afterwards, she led the collection team to a nut forest that she had observed before.
"Ah Chun, take out the big net we made and lay it under the tree."
"Okay, great wizard."
"Great witch, the paving is done."
"I'll go up the tree first, and if there are any fruits later, I'll shake them down. You guys, step back a little and pay attention to your safety."
After Xu Yin finished her instructions, she jumped lightly onto the tree, rubbed along the trunk a few times, and then climbed up.
The women under the tree all looked up at her, their eyes full of admiration and reverence.
The wizard is so powerful! You can climb such a tall tree as fast as you want.
They can also climb trees. When encountering ferocious beasts, climbing trees is the best way to save themselves. But for such a tall tree, they can only climb ten meters at most. Any higher than that would be frightening.
Therefore, when Xu Yin asked them whether such tall trees with smooth bark grew wild fruits, they couldn't answer.
It’s too long to pick! It’s so high that it feels like the tops of the treetops are touching the clouds. Read a book
Xu Yin climbed to the branch of the tree and saw the lush branches and leaves clearly, and then she realized that it was a sweet chestnut tree.
She raised her eyebrows happily, and then shouted towards the tree: "Stay back! Be safe!"
Then he shook the branch, and ripe sweet chestnuts fell down with crackling sounds.
It wasn't until she could no longer shake many fruits that she climbed down from the tree with the help of Qinggong.
