The Caveman Made Me Awesome

Chapter 166 Building a new home (2)

After Xingzao Lake was completed, Ye Xi began to plan farmland.

With crops in hand, those picking teams no longer have to risk their lives in the jungle to pick fruit. And it can provide a stable source of fruits and vegetables for the tribe, and there will be no harvest due to natural disasters or anything else.

Ye Xi circled a large field on the edge of the valley, set a fire, and burned all the grass on the field. Then all the male servants of the tribe were called over and asked them to use a newly made hoe to loosen the soil.

There is no metal here, so the head of the hoe is made of stone, but the edges are sharpened and used like an iron hoe.

The soil here is black and very fertile. It has been loosened a little by a hoe and mixed with grass ash. It looks very soft.

In fact, Ye Xi had never planted the land himself, but just watched his grandfather plant it. His grandfather told him that there were only eight steps required to cultivate the land, namely: plowing the land, raking, ditching, leveling, opening small ditch, applying fertilizer, sowing, Pull the ditch.

Now that farming is complete, there are only seven steps left.

Ye Xi taught them one by one. In the future, these slaves will be mainly responsible for this field, but in order to prevent them from being lazy, a Tushan man will be assigned to supervise them.

Sweet potato seedlings are planted one by one into the ground.

When the last sweet potato seedlings were planted, the soldiers who went out to dig ginkgo trees just came back.

Each of the more than ten warriors carried a small ginkgo tree on their shoulders-the roots of those big trees were too deep, and it was very difficult to carry, so they all dug small ginkgo trees.

Cangpan put down the ginkgo tree on his shoulders and joked: "This tribe's warriors are carrying prey on their shoulders, but our tribe's warriors are carrying trees."

Ye Xi took the ginkgo tree sapling and found that the root of the sapling was not damaged, so he felt relieved, glanced at Cangpan and said, "Okay, the ginkgo tree is good in the future, let you eat the first ginkgo."

Cangpan touched his head, and the soldiers all laughed.

After a while, another wave of fighters also returned. They brought back more and dug up the pepper, lettuce, purple fruit trees that were once found in the wild, and even the big toon tree on Xiaotu Mountain.

Everyone worked together to plant these vegetables and fruits together.

After this was done, it was getting dark.

Ye Xi set up a wooden shelf next to the farmland.

On the way he found an edible fruit.

This fruit is red, similar in shape and taste to the big mango in the previous life, but it grows on a vine, and there are large clusters of wisteria-like flowers on the vine, and the fragrance is fragrant. When Ye Xi digs it, Also attacked by a lot of bees.

Ye Xi planted the red mango vines, and carefully wrapped the vines around the wooden frame by hand.

Looking at the shelf wrapped in vines, Ye Xi felt a sense of satisfaction and anticipation.

Regardless of how sparse they are now, he believes that within half a year, these vines will cover the entire shelf.

If the growth is flourishing, he can also build a shed out of wood, and let the red mango vines crawl all over the wooden shed. In this summer, the underside of the wooden shed will be covered with purple-red flower waterfalls, and sometimes full of red mangoes, which must be very beautiful.

When he was old, the red mango vine must have been very lush. Then he can make a rattan chair,

Put it under the shed, lie down on it in summer, and fall asleep smelling the fragrance of flowers and fruits.

"Ye Xi, look we caught two female goats!" Someone shouted from a distance.

Ye Xi woke up from his fantasy and looked at where the voice came from.

I saw Litu carrying a goat with four legs upside down and walking towards him, and a sturdy warrior next to him was also carrying a female goat that kept bleating on his shoulders.

Ye Xi's eyes lit up, he strode over, looked at the goat on Litu's shoulder and said, "Put it down."

The poor ewe was carried all the way up to the sky, and when it was put on the ground, she felt dizzy for a while before she wanted to run away.

Ye Xi quickly held it down, took a cane, put it around its neck, and led it into the sheepfold.

That's right, he specially encircled a piece of land, put stakes and fences around it, and used it as a sheep pen for the tribe.

In fact, this valley is lush and grassy, ​​and the area is large enough for large-scale animal husbandry. All cattle and deer are kept in captivity. Even a few years later, the tribe can feed their stomachs without hunting.

But Ye Xi only intended to raise female goats, and even forbade the tribesmen from slaughtering these female goats for meat, and usually just squeezed some goat milk for the children of the tribe to drink.

Because once a warrior does not go hunting, the force value will degrade, and a warrior who lacks actual combat experience is equivalent to a wolf without claws.

Ye Xi had considered this before, but after seeing that since the Yan tribe moved to the relatively comfortable snow-capped mountains, not only did the number of soldiers drop sharply, but even the witches disappeared, so he became even more vigilant about it.

So Ye Xi is very careful, even if he raises, he only raises some milk-producing creatures, such as goats. For fear that the tribal warriors will feel lazy because of the sufficient food, and feel that even if they are not hunting, they still have enough food to eat.

But it doesn't matter about crops. No amount of vegetables and fruits can suppress the tribal people's desire for meat. Because of their instinct, the warriors will still hunt as actively as before.

Of course, there is another reason why it takes so much trouble to raise these female goats. That is, in the event of unrest, the meat of these female goats will ensure that no one in the tribe will starve to death in the event of a famine.

BAA Baa baa……

As soon as these female goats entered the sheepfold, they ran around in panic, but could not break through the fence. After a long time, I calmed down and bowed my head to eat grass obediently.

The warriors were digging plants to find female goats, the slaves were busy farming, and the ordinary people in the clan were not idle either. Carrying wood on their backs, they climbed to the top of the hill again and again to build watchtowers.

Although this valley has a superior geographical environment, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is necessary to build fortifications.

So Ye Xi suggested that the chief could build a small observation building on each of the four hilltops in the south, south, and northwest, and arrange for the tribesmen to take turns on duty in the small observation building.

On the top of the mountain, the situation outside the valley is unobstructed, and if there is an enemy invasion, it can be quickly detected.

Considering that the mountain here is steep and it takes a long time to climb the mountain, Ye Xi made some whistle. If there is an emergency, as long as the person on duty blows the whistle vigorously on the observation building, the people below will hear the whistle sound, so immediately. Enter the state of preparation.

When the whistle was first made, the tribesmen were very novel, and they all had to blow the whistle. The competition was fierce, and the valley was filled with sharp whistles for a while.

Later, Ye Xi couldn't bear the disturbance and stipulated that no one was allowed to blow the whistle except for the enemy, and then it stopped. 8)
