Farming in the Primitive Tribe

Qingshan and others felt that they were alive after drinking water. They didn't even dare to say a few words along the way for fear of wasting time.

"Brother, what are you doing? Why do you look like you are being chased by something? What happened?" Erya asked with concern, controlling herself not to let her eyes fall on Xiao Yan. After all, she was chasing behind him. After running for so long, it was impossible to let go so quickly, but she really gave up. After all, she saw Xiao Yan being so considerate to Shen Xiaoxiao every day, but not having a good look towards her, and she could naturally tell that. the difference.

It was precisely because of this that she felt even more heartbroken. She was obviously so good to him, but he was unmoved, but in the end, she was so interested in another female that she was holding it in her hand for fear of dropping it, and kept it in her mouth. The fear has disappeared, and she is completely different from the person who was cold and cold to her before.

Yes, she admitted that Shen Xiaoxiao was indeed better-looking than her, was good to the tribe, and could lead the tribe to become better, but was Xiao Yan treating him too differently? They had known each other longer than he had known Shen Xiaoxiao, but he was so ruthless to her.

Hum, Xiao Yan doesn't like her because he has no vision, and there are many people who want to form a contract with her.

"We encountered cannibals. Did you encounter anything in the tribe?"

"No, we haven't gone anywhere in the tribe." Erya was a little confused, and then said nervously, "Then are you okay? Are you injured?" Erya looked at Qingshan from top to bottom and saw whether he was there or not. Nothing was normal and he breathed a sigh of relief.

When other people heard that they had encountered cannibals, they began to care about the people around them.

"Witch doctor, nothing happened in the tribe today, right?" Shen Xiaoxiao walked to the witch doctor and asked, "Have any strangers been here?"

"No." After a pause, "No, a few people came before you came back and said they wanted to come to the tribe to ask for some water. But after they entered the tribe, their eyes kept looking at our tribe. I felt something was wrong and asked them to leave. Nothing else happened except this."

Shen Xiaoxiao's heart tightened. She guessed that those people were cannibals. She probably saw that there were many people in the tribe so she didn't take action and instead stepped on the target. So now that the tribe has been targeted, those people may come up at any time. Take a bite.

There are simply a lot of people in the tribe, so they don't dare to provoke them easily.

Shen Xiaoxiao told the witch doctor her suspicions, and at the same time asked her to relax. After all, those cannibals would not dare to provoke them if they did not want to die. The key now is to make the tribe stronger, so that even the cannibals can Don't dare to attack them.

"By the way, we brought good things back today. You ask them to burn those wheat straws and scatter them on the ground. We will plant the seedlings later." Fortunately, we dug a little ground, otherwise if we wait until tomorrow, these cotton Miao probably won't survive either.

"What seedling?"

"Cotton, let them work first, I will talk to you later."

"Okay." The witch doctor immediately gave the order and asked a few females to burn the straw. Shen Xiaoxiao then told her what cotton was and what its uses were. The witch doctor was stunned after hearing this, but his trembling hands were Having betrayed her, it was obvious that her heart was not at peace at the moment.

"Goddess, if we plant it, won't we be afraid of the cold in winter?"

"Theoretically, this is the case. When we make two more thick quilts, even if it's cold, you can just hide under the quilt and it won't be cold." And she plans to get a kang and wait until winter to heat the kang before sleeping. I'm not afraid of the cold either.

In fact, she prefers to sleep on the bed, but the key point is that the current conditions are like this, so she should adapt to it in order to keep warm.

Soon the plant ashes were burned, and Shen Xiaoxiao took them to spread the plant ashes into the ground. Fortunately, she had the idea of ​​​​farming before and asked them to collect farm manure and soak it in the ground. Although the land was not very fertile, But at least it can be planted, and then I can think of ways to topdress.

Then Shen Xiaoxiao led people to plow the ground again and make ridges. With so many people, the work was completed quickly.

She took the cotton seedlings out of the basket. These cotton seedlings were all covered with soil and had grown to a suitable level for transplanting. She sprinkled some water on the seedlings to their roots, and then began to plant cotton.

In fact, you should kill insects and fertilize before transplanting, but the current conditions are like this, so we can only keep everything simple.

"First dig a hole and place the seedlings in the pit. Make sure that all the roots of the seedlings are in the pit. Then cover the seedlings with soil and press the soil with your hands to ensure that the seedlings will not fall over." Shen Xiaoxiao showed them while talking.

After watching her plant a few seedlings, others also started to get started. They were all slow at first, but soon they all got started. The sixty seedlings were planted in a short time. The cotton they brought back also had seeds in it. Now It's a bit late, I can only wait until tomorrow to get the cotton seeds out.

Originally, Shen Xiaoxiao planned to cook the dishes for them to try, but she was too tired, so she could only cook them tomorrow. After eating the food and washing up, she rested, and fell asleep directly.

When she got up the next day, she took two females and fried part of the vegetables she brought back yesterday. She planned to save the rest for making soup in the afternoon. Others praised the vegetables when they ate them, saying they were better than the wild vegetables they picked. tasty.

Shen Xiaoxiao just smiled after hearing this, "Try the taste first, and you can eat it as soon as you plant it." She put a chopstick into Xiao Yan's bowl, "Eating more vegetables is good for your health, and you can finish the food later. You can take someone to clear out that piece of land and use it to grow vegetables." This piece of land belongs to the tribe, and the land for growing cotton is also the same. Everyone found the cotton and vegetables together, so she has no reason to keep it for herself. As for those she wants to grow wheat, she can just open a separate area, but she still needs their help. After all, this was agreed upon from the beginning.

If it had been up to her and Xiao Yan, they would probably have missed the planting time by waiting for the land to be opened.

She is just guessing now, and she doesn't have an exact time for planting. If the weather is suitable, she can plant it.

In fact, growing things according to her plan would require quite a lot of land. If there weren't so many people in the tribe, it would be difficult for them to carve out so much land in a short time.

Xiao Yan immediately agreed, and the others had no objections. They knew that following her would make their lives better. No matter what she did, it was for their own good. They had no complaints.

Shen Xiaoxiao asked Ashu and Yan to find some wood. Ashu and Yan learned carpentry from her. She planned to make a simple seed-removing machine. The cotton seeds were hidden in the cotton. It was not efficient to remove them by hand. She was going to build a simple deseeding machine. It was really simple, just a few wooden boards, two logs and a hand crank.

Use three wooden boards to make a rectangular shape, install two logs in the reserved holes, and press the one with the hand crank on top. Shen Xiaoxiao turned it and felt it was okay, then brought some cotton over. Place it between two logs and turn the handle. The cotton will roll up with the rotation of the logs. Soon the cotton will slip smoothly between the two logs, leaving the seeds aside.

After deseeding all the cotton in her hands, she stopped and asked a female to come over and ask her to deseed the cotton. She placed a basket in front of her to catch the fallen cotton.
