The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 118
In the third month of summer, the fields have already produced a lot, the wild fruits in the mountains and forests are gradually ripening, and the farming techniques are also becoming more and more mature. Finally, the Mang tribe's food is gradually no longer tense.

In addition to more than 500 people from the Mang tribe, they also arrested more than 300 people from the wolf tribe and the black snake tribe, with more than 800 mouths. The daily food consumption is a terrifying amount.

If it hadn't been for Chen Bei's determination to develop in an all-round way and rely on hunting and gathering, it would be difficult to support so many people.

"Let them all out."

Outside the hut, Chen Bei said to the totem warriors guarding the captives.

"Leader, with so many people, what if there is a riot when they are released?"

Xi was a little reluctant, because of the past, he hated these two tribes very much, and at the same time he didn't trust them at all.

Chen Bei said: "Whoever dares to make trouble, just kill him."

Only then did Xi nod his head and said, "Okay, listen to the leader."

Xi opened the gate of the hut, brought in a dozen totem warriors, and drove all the captives out.

These captives have been captured for several days. After they were captured, they were only given one meal a day and water. Although they could not die of hunger, they were too hungry to have any strength.

All the captives stood outside sparsely, their eyes were dull, but when they occasionally looked at the Mang tribe, there was hatred.

Standing in front of these people, Chen Bei said: "The reason why you are released today is because you have been idle in the Mang tribe for several days, it's time to work!"

Hearing Chen Bei's words, the captives had no reaction. They all lowered their heads, but no one stood up to resist.

Because those who dare to resist are already dead.

"In this mountain forest, countless tourists die every day! You should feel lucky that you can survive until now after the destruction of the tribe!"

"I know you are all hungry, now, I will give you a chance to eat!"

When it came to eating, the expressions on these people's faces finally changed, and they were no longer so numb, because they were really hungry, and hunger is terrible, and it can make people collapse.

"As long as you work honestly and do well, you will have food to eat, and if you work a lot, you will even be full!"

"Of course, if there are those who don't want to work, I won't force them, but from now on, the Mang Tribe will not provide you with any food or water!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the captives showed obvious fear, and they were not given food or water. They were going to starve to death.

"Now, those who are willing to work will follow me, and those who are not willing to work will go back."

Chen Bei didn't give the captives any time to think, so he turned around and left.

The prisoners struggled for a while, and then a man finally stepped forward. He didn't want to be locked in a small hut anymore, and he didn't want to starve anymore. It was better to work than starve to death.

With one leader, others follow, and most people always follow the herd.

In the end, there were still five people who stayed where they were. They were struggling in their hearts. On the one hand, they were hungry, on the other hand, they were hated, and they didn't want to work for the enemy.

Xi sneered and said, "Looks like they're not hungry enough, lock them back!"

Xi is very friendly to his own people, but he is not so broad-minded towards these former enemies.

"Yes!"

Two totem warriors drove the five back to the hut and closed the gate.

On the other side, Chen Bei brought the captives to the tribe's open space, where a large number of tools and a dozen pottery tripods full of food had already been piled up.

Although the pottery cauldron was full of vegetable leaves, wild vegetables, yams, and fish offal, the aroma of the food was still strong, making the prisoners salivate constantly.

They are so hungry.

Chen Bei said to Bai Cao standing next to the big Tao Ding, "Give each of them a bowl of food and a pair of chopsticks."

"Yes, chief."

Baicao led a dozen women and ordered the captives to line up in front of Tao Ding to receive food.

Hearing that there was something to eat now, the captives' eyes turned green, and they rushed forward one after another.

"Squeeze what, line up, don't you understand?"

Dozens of totem warriors guarding the side rushed up one after another, using fists and kicks to make the prisoners line up obediently.

Soon after, these captives were all given food and chopsticks. They looked at the chopsticks blankly, not knowing how to use them.

Some people wanted to grab it with their hands, but were stopped by those totem warriors viciously.

The feeling of not being able to eat the food right in front of you is really uncomfortable.

Chen Bei filled a bowl for himself, then stood in front of these captives, and said, "I don't care how you ate before, when you arrive at the Mang tribe, you have to abide by the rules of the Mang tribe. From now on, everyone must eat their own food. use chopstick!"

"I'll show you a demonstration!"

The chopsticks in Chen Bei's hand kept opening and closing, so that all the prisoners could see clearly. Then, he picked up a wild vegetable in the bowl with the chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The taste is not very good, a bit bitter, and mixed with other foods, if it is placed in the place where it lived in the previous life, few people may be able to swallow it.

But Chen Bei ate without changing his face. After coming here, he really realized the preciousness of food. As long as it can fill his stomach, it is good food and should not be wasted.

"Eat like this, except for children under three years old, everyone must use chopsticks!"

Under the supervision of those totem warriors, these captives used chopsticks to pick rice into their mouths awkwardly. As long as someone wanted to use their hands, there would be totem warriors to stop them.

Finally, when the bowl of rice was finished, the captives breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were still far from being full, they still had a bowl of rice in their stomachs. They were no longer so hungry, and their bodies felt a little stronger.

"You will all eat with these bowls and chopsticks in the future, remember!"

The bowl was not a pottery bowl, but a bamboo bowl. It was very rough, but it was easier to make and more durable. It was enough for these prisoners to eat.

Chen Bei pointed to a large pile of tools on the other side, and said: "Now, everyone, take the tools and follow me to build the road! Well done, we still have dinner tonight!"

The tools of the Mang tribe are much richer than other tribes.

There are rattan baskets, poles, rattan dung skips, stone sickles, bone sickles, stone hoes, bone hoes, etc., basically simple farm tools.

Those totem warriors gave each captive a suitable tool. For example, if they were strong and strong, they would give him a shoulder pole and a dung pan, and let him pick things;

Chenbei took them to the tribe's road leading to the cultivated land, and then asked them to start building the road.

After several years of trampling, a road has appeared on the ground, but it is not wide, and it is rough and uneven.

Usually it’s okay, but when it rains, these roads are full of puddles, and they are all muddy, slippery, and if you don’t pay attention, you have to fall.

Seeing that the autumn harvest will start soon, a lot of things will have to be transported to the tribe. How can we do it without a good road?
Although there is no condition to build hardened concrete roads, it is still possible to widen the road, level it, and pour sand and gravel.

The sand was picked directly from the river bank, and the gravel was piled up at the mason's workshop.

In addition, there is another reason for Chenbei to build roads, that is, he intends to build two-wheeled vehicles.

There are so many large animals in the tribe, and it must be much more efficient to let them pull carts and transport things than people do bit by bit.
