It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

The warriors in the tribe finally learned how to make fish float glue.The people at the beach sent over the materials of the glue used for sea fish one after another. When the glue in reserve was enough to be made into a compound bow, Song Lai began to teach the five people how to make a bow out of bamboo and wood. And I made beef tendon into tendon fiber, and taught them slowly and carefully. Some children like to study with them even if they have nothing to do, just because the amount of beef tendon is not very large, and there are still some It is precious, so it can't be practiced for children. Song Lai took out the oxtails he had collected, and asked the children to use the hair from the oxtails and flax fibers mixed with fish float glue to weave long thin ropes. Come make the bowstring.

At noon, when Song Lai was teaching everyone how to identify the wood needed to make a compound bow, the children of the tribe suddenly ran into the camp and kept yelling loudly, "Fish, there are a lot of fish, everyone, go and have a look." There are so many fish!" Song Lai's first reaction was that there were schools of fish passing by or coming to the big lake below the camp. He knew that the big lake below the camp was connected to the sea, but he didn't expect that there would be fish so far away from the sea. Schools of fish come here.

Song Lai put down what he was doing, greeted the warriors who learned how to make bows and arrows with him, and walked towards the big lake with a bamboo basket.

As soon as he walked to the river connected to the great lake, Song Lai noticed that the water in the river was shimmering. When he looked carefully, he could clearly see the fish school under the water surface, because there were too many fish schools, some fish were sticking to the water surface Swimming, there are obviously a lot of these fish, Song Lai stretched out his hand and grabbed a warrior: "Go back and tell the patriarch, just say that there are fish schools in the big lake to look at, and ask him to wait for someone, these fish have never appeared before , Now that there are so many, we have to see and decide what to do, you let the patriarch bring people to come and don't let the tribe's people catch them first."

The warrior who followed Song Lai has been learning how to make a bow and arrow with him recently, so he is naturally more convinced by Song Lai's words. These fish are also very strange. When they arrived last year, they had already discovered this big lake, and it was still in the lake. I have fished, but I have never seen so many fish flooding into the big lake. Now that so many fish suddenly appear, I really need to be careful.

The people from the tribe who came one after another did not catch these fish immediately, they just stood by the lake and watched, when they saw Song Lai approaching, they gave up their seats to him, and one even caught a big fish for Song Lai to approach Look, this is a shuttle-shaped light gray fish with tiny scales, more than half a meter long, with a pointed head and some tiny fangs in its mouth. It keeps jumping up on the ground after being caught. , looks very fierce.Song Lai looked at the fish with some familiarity, but couldn't remember where he saw it.

Ask someone to kill this fish and cut it open. Seeing the orange-red striped flesh, Song Lai suddenly realizes, isn't this a salmon!Looking at the river full of fish, Song Lai felt a little dreamy.

The patriarch brought people to Song Lai's side, "How about it, is this fish edible?" "Should it be possible?!" Song Lai replied hesitantly.Put the dissected fish aside, gently cut off a piece with a Swiss champion, and put it in your mouth, um~ delicious, tender, this texture, this taste, it should be salmon.Song Lai couldn't hold back for a moment, cut off a piece and put it in his mouth, "Is it delicious? It must be good, right? This thing is edible, I think it looks delicious to you?" Oss wretched The voice came from behind.

Song Lai picked up a piece of fish, turned to Oss and said, "Would you like to try it? I'm not sure if I can eat it, but it seems to be similar to what I ate before." "Eat it before? How long ago?" Aos didn't hesitate to eat the fish fillet into his mouth with Song Lai's hand, and he didn't forget to ask questions while eating. "A long time ago. It should be that this fish species returned to freshwater to spawn. It seems that we can store a lot of fish." After Song Lai answered Oss, he thought about the patriarch and walked over.

When the patriarch heard that this kind of fish was likely to die after laying eggs, he actually asked the clansmen to stay by the lake and wait for the fish to die by itself.Song Lai was very speechless about this, please the fish eggs are also very delicious.

In the end, the patriarch decided to wait and say, don’t look at the fish for now. If the people in the tribe eat them, each family can catch some by themselves. When Song Lai heard the patriarch’s decision, he was very surprised. It's not as scarce as it used to be, but the patriarch chose to wait and see while hunting a group of fish like this!

Let's talk about this to An Ye when we go to bed at night, An Ye was silent for a while, "Because those fish come back to lay eggs." A simple sentence made Song Lai figure it out in an instant, unless the tribe was facing the starvation to death Otherwise, some pregnant female animals will not be hunted.These ancient people lived in such a difficult environment by adhering to the simplest principles.

Within a few days, dead fish began to appear in the lake one after another. Song Lai found that all the dead fish were covered with wounds, and the color of their bodies turned into a very bright red. All the red fish that fell off were fished back, then salted and put on the rack to dry.Although there are some people who go to catch the ones that haven’t changed color, they still catch as much as they eat, and few people look at them to catch them.

As time approached, the Changing Moon Festival finally came. On this day, the tribe lit a huge bonfire in the center of the camp, and many people gathered around the bonfire. There are various vegetables and meat in the pot. The patriarch delivered an exciting speech under Song Lai's suggestion. It was nothing more than telling everyone that we have a new member and introduced the three Old man, in fact, those three people are not too old. It may be because of the difficult life that they look older. The patriarch chose women who had lost their partners in the tribe for these people. Standing beside Rich and Oss, this was the first time that Rich stood in front of everyone in the tribe as a shaman.

The three women approached the three old men standing beside the patriarch, and each handed out the fruit or vegetables in their hands. The three men accepted the woman's gift, and then obediently followed the woman to the side, watching Young men and women in the tribe form families in pairs.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Song Lai could always recall that he married himself in a muddleheaded way before. Looking at the baby in his arms, he didn't know what kind of man the baby would choose in the future. I found an ancient person, and I don't know if my little heart can accept it.Not many men and women formed families in the tribe this year, because basically all adult men and women already have owners, and the rest are minors.The most important thing this year is that people from other tribes join the Manta tribe.

Those three people have stayed in the tribe since today, and from tomorrow onwards, they will follow the leader to choose a place to build a house for those tribesmen who are still fishing at the seaside in their tribe. When the first heavy rain comes, those people will Return to the tribe to officially become a member of the Manta tribe.

When all the ceremonies were over, the three old men came out suddenly, stopped beside Rich, bent their knees and knelt in front of Rich.Then he took out something in his hand, "This is a miracle in our tribe. It can gradually recover people who are cold and sick. Today we handed it to the shaman of Manta, which also represents the official status of our tribe. Join the Manta tribe." After the old man finished speaking, the audience was silent, only the sound of the bonfire and the crackling of hands were in the air, and there was a long silence, then Rich gently helped the old man up, "From today, the Manta Tribe has two miracles, and you are also members of the Manta Tribe. This will never change in the future." Hearing Rich's words, everyone suddenly burst into cheers. This made Song Lai very inexplicable.

miracle?What is it, looking at everyone's appearance, this thing is obviously very important, but this is really the first time I have heard this word.Pulling An Ye who was beside him, he kept asking him what it was. "I don't know what it is. Every tribe has its own miracle, and the miracle is something that no one else knows except the shaman and the patriarch. It may be a kind of food, or it may be a kind of medicinal material. This tribe It's obviously a kind of medicinal material." An Ye's explanation made Song Lai even more confused, "You mean that every tribe has a kind of food or medicinal material that only the leaders of their own tribe are familiar with called miracles?" "Almost Right." An Ye answered Song Lai absently while putting the salmon sashimi in his mouth, "Ordinary miracles are not rare things to see, but only a few people know about the function of this thing or where it can be found. "

"Monopoly?" Song Lai really couldn't help being curious, and quietly moved towards Rich. When he got to Richie's side, before he could speak, Rich showed him the things in his hand, and Song Lai opened his hand. Yellow stems, the beast in my heart is running around, who can tell me why the miracle of that small tribe turned out to be the ginger I have been looking for for a long time~!

Song Lai taught the tribal warriors to make bows and arrows, and the rest was basically done, and the rest could only wait for time.Because those warriors learned new skills, and the production of compound bows took too long, they figured out a simplified conforming bow by themselves. Big, but in a place where a branch tied to a rock is a weapon, these simple bows and arrows are as advanced and easy-to-use as mortars.

And this kind of bow and arrow has an advantage, that is, the production time is relatively short. In just half a month, Song Lai and the others equipped all the warriors in the tribe with these advanced long-range weapons. The advantage is that hunting is easier, and the hunting time is shortened, so that they have time to build some houses for future clansmen to use.

Song Lai discovered that when building the house, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unconscious. The places the three outsiders chose to build the houses were interspersed among the existing houses of the tribe.Song Lai asked An Ye specifically, only to find out that Rich had chosen their address for them. Think about the child who looked at him innocently at the beginning, and then turned to look at the child who was sitting on the edge of the table waiting. Oss, who was eating, really had a hard time learning, and slipped away after learning badly.The child Rich was completely taught by Oss to be a little fox.As long as time accumulates, sooner or later he will become an old fox.

"What are you looking for? When will the meal be served? I don't know if the old man will be hungry." Oss turned around and saw that Song Lai was in a daze, and immediately began to urge him.Song Lai paid him no attention, and waited for An Ye to come back while cooking the beef in the pot.Song Lai put a few pieces of ginger in the beef this time, and the three old men were also taken by Song Lai to the warriors to find more ginger. The few pieces in his hand only left two or three pieces for cooking , and the others were all planted in the ground by Song Lai. When the patriarch knew that this was another kind of food and a kind of seasoning, he was obviously a little disappointed.After Song Lai told him that ginger can also be used to prevent fever and colds, the face of the patriarch obviously improved.

What happened this time gave Song Lai another thought, maybe he can ask others about the things he can't find, or ask other tribes, maybe the things that are not easy to get here are generally available in others That.

Maybe it's because of the addition of ginger, the taste of the beef soup became more and more fragrant, which provoked Oss to keep urging Song Lai to serve the meal. In fact, Song Lai didn't have to wait until An Ye came back to eat, because the meal at noon was sometimes served by An Ye It's not that he can't come back in time to eat, it's just that seeing Oss in a hurry makes Song Lai feel a sense of accomplishment.

Song Lai turned his head and glanced at Aussie, then took a spoon and stirred it in the ditch maliciously, making the fragrance disperse more with the movement.
