Chapter 874: Ancient Farming by Internet Celebrities (8)
During this period, Xu Yin took a few strong laborers from Dashan to the salt mine again, carried some salt back, and gave it to the tribesmen who stayed behind to cook and separate the salt.
While the sky is hot, you may have excess salt before the winter, and go to the transaction to return a few good beast skin to the big witch.
The Xu tribe has few people and fewer strong laborers. When encountering large animals, it is too late to escape, so how can they dare to covet their skins.
By far, the best quality animal skins stocked in the tribe are deer skins.
But the deer was strong and fast, so they tried their best to hunt it only once.
Most of the time they are small animals such as pheasants and hares, and occasionally one or two wolves are hunted, so there are not many animal skins and the quality is average.
The witch was so kind to them, and they wanted to be nice to him, so they wanted to boil more salt and give the witch some beautiful, warm, long-haired fox or white bear skins in exchange for them.
Salt is so precious, they should be able to get what they want in exchange.
To treat the precious salt, they also specially guard the caves where the salt is stored.
Ariel's father has bad legs and feet. When he went hunting a few years ago, he accidentally fell into a cave and broke his leg. He has not been able to do much work in recent years, and he has always felt that it has been a drag on everyone.
It wasn't until the great wizard came that he learned to weave and boil salt, and volunteered to serve as a salt guard, guarding the cave where the salt was stored and making baskets and baskets, which made him feel full and satisfied.
Xu Yin originally felt that there was no need to send someone to guard the salt. If they didn't tell anyone outside, who would know that the salt was hidden here? But the tribesmen insisted, and Ariel's father was also happy. He was not happy if he was not allowed to guard him, so Xu Yin said nothing more.
As the leader of the mobile team, she is never idle for a moment. She goes wherever the team needs guidance.
The tribesmen were moved to tears: woo woo woo! Their great witch is really good! He didn't show off as a witch at all, he answered all questions, and taught if he was willing to learn... This group of NPCs were so moved that they almost shut down their computers collectively.
Xu Yin, who knew nothing about this, waited for each group to get accustomed to their positions, then cut down a tree and planned to make a set of bows and arrows.
The bow string is made of deer sinew.
After the tiger recovered from his injury, it regained its former ferocity and left the two cubs with Xu Yin. They went out to hunt every day, and while feeding themselves, they also did not forget to bring back some food for Xu Yin.
I dragged back a deer yesterday. It is said that deer sinew is the best material for making bow strings, and its power is ten times that of ordinary bow strings.
Xu Yin hugged Yihu's neck: "Good sisters! Thank you very much! I will roast venison for you to try later."
The Winged Tiger’s eyes were stern: “…”
You mistook tigers for humans again?
However, venison is delicious when grilled.
Yihu rolled a mouthful of the venison that Xu Yin had roasted and let cool in his mouth, and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
After a while, the wind blew away the clouds.
It killed three-quarters of a whole deer.
It obviously came back when it was full, but after taking a bite of crispy roasted venison, why was it hungry again?
This makes it very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, humans can’t tell when a tiger blushes.
It took a running start, took off into the air, and flew out again.
The two cubs waiting to drink milk looked around blankly.
Where is their mother? Isn't it their turn to eat?
Unable to find her mother, she threw herself into Xu Yin's arms, nuzzling her and moaning that she was hungry.
Xu Yin: “…”
Sisters, come back quickly!
I can't bear the fluffy and coquettish behavior.
Fortunately, Yihu was also worried that his cub hadn't eaten yet, so he came back after a while.
The sharp claws lifted a four-horned goat and threw it straight down from the sky above the tribe, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Everyone: “…”
I'm so envious of the four-legged winged beast's hunting ability.
Not long after that, a four-horned beast was hunted.
"…" do not talk!
If you keep talking, the tiger is hungry again.
But I can’t eat today.
Not only it, Xu Yin was also full of venison.
After she sharpened the stone knife, she slowly cut the mutton into pieces, divided it into different parts, rubbed it with salt, put it on vines and hung it in the vent, and cut it and roasted it tomorrow, so there was no need to add any more salt.
“Great witch, you said before that you wanted to teach us how to make pottery.”
The big eagle represents the left-behind tribesmen and shyly asks about something that everyone has been thinking about for a long time.
"Yes!" Xu Yin nodded, "I will make a few bows first and teach you how to use bows and arrows, and then I will teach you how to make pottery. Don't be impatient."
As the tribe has more and more supplies, it is urgent to increase the force value.
"bow?"
“Bow and arrow?”
what is that?
Everyone looked confused.
Xu Yin smiled: "When it is finished, I will show you its power."
Three days later, Xu Yin’s first bow was made.
She demonstrated it in the tribe first, aiming at a big tree in front of her, and heard a "whoosh" sound in the air. The crown of the tree was pierced by a sharp wooden arrow, and the broken branches fell off on the spot.
The arrow was still flying, and finally it was nailed to the trunk of a tree behind. The tail of the arrow buzzed for a while before stopping.
The tribesmen were dumbfounded.
Upon seeing this, Dashan was itching and threw the spear in his hand towards a tree next to him with all his strength.
However, the spear was only nailed to the crown of the tree, and after a while, the spear fell off.
As for the trees, they just wiped away a few fallen leaves.
!!”
The tribesmen are excited!
At the same shooting range, the arrow shot by the wizard penetrated the crown of the tree, broke the branches, and was finally nailed to another tree. The arrow penetrated three-thirds of the wood; the spear thrown by the mountain did not even penetrate the crown of the tree, but fell to the ground. .
“Great witch! Is this the bow and arrow you are talking about?”
“Yes!” Xu Yin smiled with satisfaction.
Although the arrow was shot with the blessing of a small part of permanent divine power, the power of the bow and arrow made of deer sinew is indeed extraordinary.
“Great witch, can you teach us how to do it?”
Dashan and others are eager to give it a try.
With this weapon called a bow and arrow, you no longer have to be afraid when encountering ferocious beasts when hunting. An arrow from a distance is enough to kill a ferocious beast.
Xu Yin's bow was temporarily used as a prototype bow and was enshrined by the people.
Dashan took the hunting team to cut down several pieces of wood suitable for making bows and came back, concentrating on sharpening the bow and sharpening the arrows.
The tribe has no shortage of food recently.
In order to catch pheasants and other small animals alive and bring them back to be raised in captivity, I hunted a lot of meat and smoked or salted it when I couldn't finish it, so there was no shortage of meat for the time being.
There is no shortage of vegetables and wild fruits.
Ever since we had bags, baskets, and baskets, the women in the gathering team have picked back a lot of edible wild fruits and vegetables.
When you meet someone you don’t know, dig one out and bring it back to her as Xu Yin said. If you can eat it, there will be another vegetarian dish on the table; if you can't eat it, remember it and don't touch it in the future.
Therefore, the hunting team can take a break recently, instead of going out to hunt every day, and concentrate on making bows and arrows.
There are few men, especially strong and wild men, who are not interested in weapons.
When they were making the bow, they were extremely focused. They thought about it left and right, and they actually came up with a crossbow that was more practical than the bow.
Xu Yin was surprised.
