Chapter 886: Ancient Farming by Internet Celebrities (20)

 Small meat beasts can shoot one arrow, while medium meat beasts require the cooperation of two people. When encountering a ferocious beast, listen to the wizard and run away if you can't defeat it.

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 the injuries were not serious, Xu Yin could cure them. Later, I also found a piece of land to raise them.

 The gentle **** in front of the cave has nothing else, just a lot of land.

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. 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 that the animal feces must be cleaned regularly, otherwise it will stink.

Xu Yin asked the people responsible for cleaning the farms to collect the excrement together for composting. If they open up wasteland 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.

 When winter comes, when it is snowing heavily and freezing outside, and everyone hides in the cave and has nothing to do, they tear off a piece of dried meat, grill it over the fire and chat while chewing it slowly, the more you chew, the more delicious it gets.

Xu Yin demonstrated how to make the dried meat and gave each of his 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.”

 “I’ll hunt more meat and make it into jerky like this!”

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 always draw the bow and shoot arrows, the string will be broken.

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, the motivation for hunting came back.

Every day I go out early and come back late, carrying a lot of meat on my back.

The only member of the original hunting team was Ariel who stayed behind in the tribe. He took two young men, Da Shu and Xiao Shu, holding crossbows 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, stood in the bamboo pavilion with a set of bows on his back and stood sentry.

 Alie taught the men to practice bow-drawing and aiming 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 a while to recover. Practice your aim first. After your body recovers, I will take you hunting."

 “Can we also have such a weapon?”

"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 them for you, you have to make them 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!

  How come the new tribe is 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!

Must practice hard!

If you don’t practice to hit the target with all your shots, you will be ashamed of the great witch and the kindness of your tribe!

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 glance at the mountain pass. Why didn't the human who called her "sister" come back?

 As for Zai Zi’s father, he was recruited by Xu Yin to work as a coolie.

There is no way, the journey is too long, and it depends on manpower. How many round trips will it take to carry back the things they collected. Not only is it tiring, but it’s 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 bags made of soft rattan, tied the bags tightly, tied them together, and hung them on the back of the male winged 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's eyes were stern: I am the king of the forest, how can I be compared to you?

With the steps of a king who would not recognize his relatives, he came to the cub's mother and immediately transformed into a licking dog, no, a licking tiger, and nuzzled his wife affectionately.

The tigress gave him a paw and growled: Why don't you go and help? You just took a flight and you want to lie down and rest?

There was no other way. The tigress at home was too fierce, so the male tiger had no choice but to spread his wings again and fly to pick up the second and third batches of supplies.

 A whole flying beast in the air.

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, the whole person felt much more relaxed.

She stared at the medicine jar, noticing the interaction of the Yihu family from the corner of her eye, and her eyebrows arched, this life is so good!

Over there, Xu Yin and the women have dug out almost all the mature Panax notoginseng tubers, leaving only a few scattered red Panax notoginseng flowers, which are being kept for breeding so that more Panax notoginseng can be produced next spring.

 After that, 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.”

 “A good 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's 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 Great Witch is so powerful! Climbing such a tall tree is easy.

They can also climb trees. When encountering vicious 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 had wild fruits, they couldn't answer.

　　It’s too long to be picked! It was so high that the tops of the treetops felt like they were touching the clouds.

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 toward the tree: "Stay back! Be safe!"

Then he shook the branch, and ripe sweet chestnuts fell down with crackling sounds.

　　Until she could no longer shake much fruit, she used Qinggong to get off the tree.
