Time flies, the cold season is coming to an end, the weather is warming up day by day, the sun is hanging in the sky every day, melting the snow and driving away the severe cold.

Except for an incident of wolves attacking the tribe, most of the cold season passed peacefully. Since the food stored collectively by the tribe was abundant enough, people rarely went hungry. After the long cold season, people did not change. The ones are very thin and basically healthy.

As the weather gets warmer, the snow on the ground melts, and the melted snow seeps into the ground, nourishing the thirsty land. The seeds deep in the ground begin to absorb nutrients and accumulate strength for the ground to germinate. I believe it will not take long. The hopeful green Will replace the color of the monotonous dry forest in the cold season.

After a continuous drizzle, the last bit of snow on the ground has melted away, the cold season has completely passed, and the warm season has officially begun.

The tribal square began to be lively. The children who had been hiding in the house for a cold season were all suffocated. They couldn't wait to run out one by one and started to play and play. The women hadn't been out for a long time, and they got their jobs In the square, groups of three and four sat together, basking in the sun and chatting, while busy with their work.

The men and warriors had already excitedly picked up their weapons and rushed to the mountains to start hunting.The animals and beasts hiding in the deep mountains began to come out to look for food one after another. When the soldiers hunted, they tried to choose those male beasts or some old ones, those does that seemed to be pregnant with cubs. Everyone agreed tacitly. kill.This is a protection for the continuation of the life of wild animals, and it is also a long-term consideration.

Wild beasts are the source of food that human beings rely on, and they are not inexhaustible. People understand this truth. People adopt a conservative hunting method for precious food. Only in this way, animals will not Extinct because of human hunting, human beings will not starve to death because of lack of food.

When the warm season comes, Zhang Yue is in a very good mood, not only because he no longer needs to wear that heavy leather jacket and stay indoors all day, but most importantly, Dajiao and Lightning will return to the tribe with the beginning of the warm season .

Before the start of the cold season last year, Dajiao returned to the previous island along the river behind the tribe. In Dajiao’s words, he doesn’t like the cold. If it’s cold, he’ll only want to sleep. He was not happy, he had been away from the island for a while, and Dajiao missed his home on the island, so he proposed to go back to the island.

For this, Zhang Yue has no choice. Whether it is an animal or a human, it is difficult to change their own living habits. He had to agree to Dajiao's departure, and made an agreement with Dajiao that when the cold season passed and the warm season came, Dajiao Back to Horde again.

For Dajiao, Zhang Yue has a special feeling. He spends the most time with Dajiao. They have formed an inseparable family relationship, and Dajiao is just like one of his older children.

During the cold season of lightning, I flew back to the black forest, chose a tall tree in the depths of the forest, built a nest as my home, and started a dormant state. Only when I was hungry, I would catch prey , but because of dormancy in the cold season, Lightning needs very little food. It will prey only once in ten days and a half months, and basically spend the rest of the time in dormancy.

The weather is getting warmer day by day, and there will be a light rain every three to five days, nourishing everything on the earth, and the frozen river behind the tribe, the hard thick ice gradually melts.

When there is no rain, the warm breeze blows, clusters of green buds begin to appear on the originally withered and yellow ground, and even some trees have a little bit of greenery.

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the earth has been covered with green clothes. Green grass can be seen everywhere, and some unknown flowers of various colors are blooming. The river water has also thawed and started to flow.

Lightning has returned to the tribe. After a cold season of dormancy, its size has grown again. Its black feathers are shining brightly under the sunlight, and the few golden hairs on its head are raised like a crown.Lightning's favorite thing to do now is to go out hunting with Zhang Yue, or bring the prey back to the tribe by itself, and then throw it in front of the busy Zhang Yue from mid-air. , with a very proud look, "Jie Jie~"

Zhang Yue waved away the dust that was raised when the prey landed, coughed a few times, and said loudly to the lightning in mid-air, "Lightning, how many times have I said, don't throw it from such a high place, even if Throw it down, you can throw it a little farther away from me, it's like this every time, cough cough cough~"

"Jie Jie~" Zhang Yue answered with a happy cry of lightning.

Dajiao has not yet returned to the tribe, which makes Zhang Yue somewhat worried, but in his heart, he has always firmly believed that Dajiao will return safely.

These days, Zhang Yue has never been idle, and there are many things to do every day.The first thing to bear the brunt is to plant this area. Last year, he collected a lot of valuable seeds. Most of these seeds are fruits and vegetables, and he is more optimistic about the kind of seeds similar to wheat.

The weather is getting warmer, and the most urgent task now is to open up more land and plant these seeds. As long as they are managed properly, Zhang Yue believes that these fruits and vegetables will soon become part of the food of the people in the tribe.

Easier said than done. Opening up wasteland is not an easy task. Firstly, it requires manpower and suitable tools, which are lacking at present.Most of the young and middle-aged labor force in the tribe went out to hunt, and the rest were women and children and a small team of warriors defending the tribe.

There is also a problem with tools. There are no shovels, hoes, plow sticks, and basically no tools to use, which makes the original land reclamation even more difficult.

The current conditions cannot cultivate a large field, so Zhang Yue had to adopt a compromise method, breaking it up into parts, dividing the fruit and vegetable seeds collected last year into multiple parts, and distributing them to the women in the tribe, telling them how to plant them, As well as some precautions, let them reclaim some small areas to grow these fruits and vegetables by themselves.

Women are still very interested in planting. In the past, they would dig some plants that they were interested in and plant them in front of the house. Now they are all happy to learn that these seeds can grow delicious fruits and vegetables. Most of the places they chose were around their own houses, some chose the side of the house, and some chose the front of the house. They used simple stone tools to open a place and planted the seeds. up.

Zhang Yue also asked them to make a simple fence, which can prevent children from running in and stepping on it, and can also prevent some animals from entering. The material of the fence is the bamboo forest behind the tribe, where there are thick and thin bamboos. You only need to choose some thin bamboo for the fence.

Zhang Yue planted all the fruit and vegetable seeds he had left in the field opened last year. These seeds were only planted on half of the land, and he continued to plant the wheat on the remaining half of the land.

Next to the original land near the river, Zhang Yue lit a fire to burn off the weeds in this area. He wants to open this land and plant the remaining wheat seeds. This is a huge The "project" of the dwarves cannot be done by him alone, so he found a few dwarves to do it together, provided that he needs to provide food for the dwarves, which is not difficult for him, Lightning will help him catch food every day, He has enough food to pay the dwarves.They did it together last year, and it went smoothly this year.

Planting seeds in the open land, because it has just rained, there is no need to water it, Zhang Yue led the dwarves to work for ten days, before planting all of them, Zhang Yue’s open land has changed from the previous one to the present The three pieces, the area is more than three times larger.

When they were planting wheat, the fruit and vegetable seeds planted earlier had germinated and turned into small green seedlings, which were growing very gratifyingly.

The flock of chickens raised by Zhang Yue, after a cold season of growth, the original chickens have also grown up, because Zhang Yue often uses supernatural powers to act on them, these chickens are all healthy except for some lean, Zhang Yue Yue has let them out for a few times. It is strange to say that these chickens are very smart and obedient. They only move around the tribe, but none of them escape. At night, they all come back from everywhere, and they have already been familiar with them. in the chicken coop.

Moreover, these chickens are not afraid of people, and they like to be close to people. They often run to Shinto, chirping for food, and they are very lively wherever they go.

The warm season has begun, and there are more tender grasses and wild vegetables on the ground. These chickens are looking for wild vegetables outside to eat, or planing worms in the soil to eat. So listless in the cold season.

The women in the tribe looked at these chickens very enviously, and each of them wanted to raise a few.Zhang Yue saw it, and told them with a smile that the chickens would be distributed to them when they hatched. The women all smiled after hearing this, and every time they went out to pick wild vegetables, they would hide and pick some. All these were given to the chickens raised by Zhang Yue, so the chickens became fatter faster, and some of them had already started to lay eggs.
