Super Chief

Chapter 257: Scout

Busy days always make people feel that they are passing quickly, plus the usual adjustments of the girl like Green Skylark, and Depp and Sheila, so Shi Xiong didn't feel anything about it, and one month passed.

One month's time is enough to make the Xiaohe tribe change a lot.

The old and useless wooden houses were all torn down. The original huge Xiaohe tribe, which occupied most of the river valley, left only a small wooden house along the river.

A large area of ​​isolation belt was established in this way.

Corresponding guard posts were also set up on the commanding heights around the river valley, and soldiers took their dogs to guard guard posts every day.

In short, after more than a month of busy work, the Xiaohe tribe has come out of that lifeless atmosphere.

And with the arrival of the Strawberry Moon (June), the entire Xiaohe tribe revealed a kind of vitality. Because this not only means that the northern hemisphere begins to enter the midsummer, but also announces the arrival of the annual summer harvest.

Although North American Indians are not very proficient in planting, the crops that live in the northern hemisphere are planted and harvested at roughly the same time. Therefore, even if the Indians do not cultivate intensively, they still have summer and autumn harvests every year.

Unlike the Gaoshu tribe, the Xiaohe tribe has begun to enter the stage of intensive cultivation and new cultivation. The current cultivation of the Xiaohe tribe is still in a very primitive and rough cultivation stage. Well, it is no different from the Gaoshu tribe last year.

Therefore, even if the Xiaohe tribe opened up a lot of farmland, and the enemy hardly destroyed the farmland in the last war, Shixiong did not expect this primitive and rough farming method to harvest much food.

Just like the wheat that the Xiaohe tribe grows at the end of February every year, it can be harvested in mid-June.

But this kind of gain is really better than nothing. The average yield per mu of land is less than one hundred catties or even seventy to eighty catties. How much wheat can you expect to harvest?

There is also corn, not to mention.

The ghost knows what the people who taught them to plant these crops thought at the beginning, and plant them blindly without even knowing the best time to plant them. It would be strange if the harvest was good.

Take wheat as an example. It’s not wheat without spring sown. It’s called spring wheat, but spring wheat is usually sown in March and April, and harvested in July and August, and most of the areas where spring wheat is grown are in the colder north.

Like the latitude where the Xiaohe tribe is located, it is best to plant winter wheat honestly.

As a result, the people of the Xiaohe tribe have grown this way over the years. Plant seeds in spring, harvest one season in summer, then plant seeds, and harvest another season in late autumn.

And basically no matter what the seeds are planted, no one is doing watering and weeding.

In this way of farming, they are lucky enough to be able to get the seeds back.

Fortunately, there are high-yield potatoes at the right planting time, and fortunately there are potatoes, otherwise the people of the Xiaohe tribe would be hungry every year.

In the past, the Xiaohe tribe was not pointed out by anyone. Now Shixiong is here, and Shixiong intends to develop this place into a bridgehead for the westward advance, so it is also very necessary to establish a food base here.

It is not time to plant spring grains, and there is no intensive cultivation, but summer grains can no longer be like this.

Shi Xiong brought a lot of summer grain seeds this time, including rice crops.

The planting environment of the Xiaohe tribe is better than that of the Gaoshu tribe, and the Xiaohe tribe is located in a valley, the temperature is higher than outside, and there is a river with plenty of water, so it is no problem to grow rice here.

In addition, there are corn, cotton, soybeans and other crops. Although peanuts have passed the optimal planting time, planting is not impossible now, so Shixiong ordered the women in the tribe to also plant peanuts.

Because the stone bear brought twenty tamed bisons when he came, with these bull demon kings, it was easier to open up wasteland and sow more than half of the time.

However, Shi Xiong didn't need to do these tasks himself. All he had to do was to instruct these tribes to use the most correct method to sow summer grain.

At this time, good news came from the Gaoshu tribe. After an intense harvest, the Gaoshu tribe got a bumper harvest. Whether it is winter wheat or potatoes, the yield is better than expected.

The high yield of the Gaoshu tribe made Shixiong completely relieved. Grain is the foundation of development, and if there is a high yield of food, then all the following plans can be carried out step by step.

Along with the good news of the high yield of the Gaoshu tribe, several warriors of the Xiaohe tribe finally successfully returned to the Xiaohe tribe.

The reason why Shi Xiong was able to tell Dashan, Kashasha sacrifices, and the hatred Xiaohe tribe to develop well, rebuild the Xiaohe tribe and plant food vigorously, is not because he brought food to the Xiaohe tribe and also received Xiaohe. People of the tribe.

That's because on the first day of returning to the Xiaohe Tribe, the Stone Bear announced loudly in front of all the surviving members of the Xiaohe Tribe: "I will take you to avenge! But this will take time, but the longest will not exceed half a year~ lightnovelpub.net~ You can get revenge in the shortest possible three months!"

It is precisely because Shi Xiong made such a guarantee, and he did so, so the tribe of Xiaohe tribe regarded him as the true leader.

On the first night of returning to the Xiaohe Tribe, Shixiong consulted Dashan and asked him to find out who was the best at spying on intelligence among the surviving warriors of the Xiaohe Tribe. As a result, Da Shan did not live up to Shi Xiong's request, and called Nighthawk to Shi Xiong that night.

Nighthawk is a man in his thirties, and this age is considered an advanced person among North American Indians.

It was indeed the case. Nighthawk originally had a very happy family with all his children, grandchildren and grandchildren. As a result, all his family members died under Yu Chiren's butcher's knife during that war.

When Nighthawk saw the mutilated corpse of the family, the man almost went crazy on the spot.

Therefore, when Shixiong said that he needed someone to go to Yuchiren’s site to investigate Yuchiren’s situation, Nighthawk agreed without hesitation, and he also selected four other soldiers from the remaining Xiaohe soldiers. They totaled five. Riding on the horses brought by the stone bear, he climbed the Great Wushan Mountain and went straight to Yu Chiren.

"Those damned Yu Chi people retreated in a hurry. Even if half a month has passed since they attacked us when we acted, we can still easily find the traces left by the Yu Chi people in the valley. So we five I walked along the river valley along those traces, and easily climbed over the Great Smoky Mountains..."

Nighthawk had an uncontrollable smile on his face. Obviously, this time they went out to investigate the situation of Yu Chi, the effect should be very good, otherwise this man full of hatred would not smile so brilliantly.

Who can be unhappy seeing the vengeance is about to be paid?
