The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 15

After the sacrificial ceremony, Chen Bei began to think about what these newly awakened totem warriors could do.

Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, hunting is impossible. These totem warriors do not have the ability to hunt in heavy snow.

In other tribes, the newly awakened warriors will first train for a period of time to adapt to the power of the totem in their bodies, and learn hunting skills from the old warriors.

Chen Bei felt that training was necessary, and learning hunting skills was also necessary, but it would be even better if some value could be created during training.

Or, let them open up wasteland?
As soon as this idea appeared in Chen Bei's mind, it grew irresistibly.

Land reclamation can not only train strength, but also create value for the tribe, it kills two birds with one stone!
It is very difficult for ordinary tribal people to do activities in this kind of heavy snow, let alone break through the ice on the ground and dig the ground.

But totem warriors can do it. They have plenty of strength. Even in winter, it is easy to open up wasteland.

The more Chen Bei thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and the more excited he became, he wished to put it into practice immediately.

"As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year. If the land can be turned over now, the grass roots and insects in the ground will be frozen to death by the heavy snow, and the compact land will be frozen loose, which will be more suitable for the growth of crops in the coming year."

"This matter needs to be discussed with the witch."

Chen Bei walked towards the place where Wu lived.

Ever since she was chosen as a witch, Qing Zhu moved away from her original cabin and lived in the center of the tribal complex, not far from where Chen Bei lived.

Chen Bei pushed open the door, the wind and snow outside had stopped, he strode towards the wooden house where Qingzhu lived.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Chen Bei walked to Qingzhu's door and knocked.

"Come in."

Qing Zhu's voice was not in a hurry, nor could he hear much joy or anger, but it made people feel at ease.

This should be one of the abilities that Qingzhu has after becoming a witch.

Chen Bei pushed open the door and smelled a faint smell of ore.

I can't say whether it's fragrant or smelly, but it's not unpleasant, and it's okay after getting used to it.

Green Bamboo is preparing paint on a large bamboo tube.

This kind of paint is made of red soil, red stone powder, and some other things, mixed together to form a dark red paint.

Next to the paint, there was a large piece of animal skin and a rough animal hair brush. She had already drawn many patterns on the animal skin, and it was probably because there was not enough paint, so she re-made it.

"Boss, what can I do for you?"

Qingzhu mixed the paint well, then temporarily put it aside, her eyes were still wandering to the animal skin, obviously, she was very busy.

"That's right, I want to discuss with you about the tribe's land reclamation and planting next year."

Chen Bei explained his thoughts, including the future plans for tribal planting and breeding, and the need for the totem warriors to open up wasteland right now.

Qingzhu thought about it carefully. Although she had never heard the words "planting" and "breeding", she could understand what Chenbei meant.

"Although I don't quite understand what you said, the inheritance I got tells me that these two things should be feasible."

"The big tribe outside the mountain will also grow some food and raise some docile beasts."

Qing Zhu thought about it carefully, and said: "Our tribe has fish to eat, and the food is still sufficient. If the leader makes up his mind, we can try it."

"Since the witch also thinks there is no problem, then I will gather people to open up wasteland."

Chen Bei immediately turned around to find someone, he was full of energy now, and he didn't want to wait for a moment.

Qingzhu smiled, and soon continued to pick up the animal brush, sticking paint to paint on the animal skin, seriousness was written on his slightly green face.

As for Chen Bei, after leaving Qingzhu's wooden house, he immediately pulled out the 21 totem warriors who had awakened the power of the totem and were hiding in the wooden house for the winter, waiting for hunting in the coming year.

Chen Bei couldn't wait for the next year, he had to turn over the land as soon as possible, so that the ice and snow would freeze the grass roots and insects to death in preparation for the next year's farming.

The fishing captain, Lie, was cooking fish soup. He was pulled out by Chen Bei just before he started to eat it.

"Boss, what's the rush?"

Lie felt a little confused. In previous years, in the tribe, after it snowed in winter, they almost spent the winter in a wooden house. If they could do less activity, they could save some food.

"Of course there is something important. You will know later. Now go and find all the people in the tribe who have awakened the power of the totem, and don't miss any of them."

"Yes, chief."

Although he didn't understand what Chen Bei was going to do, but in the Mang tribe, no one dared to disobey Chen Bei's words. After all, he created the tribe by himself.

Lie was very familiar with the people in the tribe. Soon, he knocked on the doors of each wooden house and called out all the totem warriors.

Yun, who went to hunt sacrifices with Chen Bei, is also in it. He is an awakened totem warrior who is stronger, after all, he used to be a totem warrior.

Yun asked on the road: "Lie, why does the leader want us?"

Lie said depressedly: "How do I know? I'm not the leader. I'm in a hurry anyway. I haven't had time to drink the fish soup yet."

The other totem warriors were also talking about it. They really couldn't think of what Chen Bei wanted to do in this cold weather.

When they walked in front of Chen Bei, they all kept silent, and they didn't even dare to ask, no one wanted to give the leader the impression of being disobedient.

Chen Bei didn't hold back, and when everyone arrived, he directly stated his purpose.

"This time you are called out, there is only one thing, and that is to open up wasteland!"

Yun couldn't help asking: "Boss, what is land reclamation?"

These people are not witches. They don't know that apart from gathering and hunting, there is also such a thing as planting.

Chen Bei explained: "To put it simply, it is to turn over the land under your feet and plant some edible things in the coming year, such as wild vegetables and tubers. After harvesting in autumn, it can increase a lot of food for the tribe."

Chen Bei was afraid that they wouldn't understand, so he added another sentence: "It's like digging a pond to raise fish."

When it comes to fish farming, these people know everything, after all, they eat fish every day.

Chen Bei said again: "Opening wasteland can exercise strength, let you master the power of totem faster, and also exercise your ability to dig traps in the future."

Dig traps, then it's about the hunt.

Those fifteen newly awakened teenagers were very yearning for hunting. When they heard these words, their eyes lit up.

Since it can increase the food for the tribe and exercise its ability, this is obviously a good thing.

"Let's go back to get the tools right away. We will dig as the leader tells us."

"Yes, we all listen to the leader."

……

Seeing those totem warriors going back to get tools with high spirits, Chen Bei was also very satisfied. There is a big difference between voluntary and forced.

Voluntary work will take a lot of hard work, but forced work is somewhat of a grind.

Soon, these totem warriors came back with various tools. The tools in their hands were very simple, some were animal bones sharpened at one end, some were stone knives, and some were even sharpened wooden sticks.

"These tools are very inefficient for digging soil."

Chen Bei frowned slightly. If he wanted to open up wasteland on a large scale, he had to have special tools, otherwise the efficiency would be too low.

However, it's too late to make temporary tools right now, let's make do with it first, and then find someone in the tribe who can make tools to make some special agricultural tools.

Chen Bei led them outside the tribe. What he saw was a relatively flat piece of land, but it was covered with white snow and ice.

Chen Bei pointed to this piece of land, and said: "Just dig here, first break the ice on top, and then turn over the soil under the ground."

"I'll do it again for you to see."

Chen Bei borrowed the animal bone from Yun's hand, and first swept away the snow covered on the ground, exposing the hard ice layer.

"Boom!"

Chen Bei gathered the power of the totem in his hand, and punched the ice layer with a fist, the ice layer half a foot thick was smashed to pieces.

Chen Bei threw away the ice and quickly dug up the soil with animal bones.

The sharpened animal bones looked extremely sharp in Chen Bei's hands, and digging the soil was as easy as cutting tofu.

Chen Bei dug a small place, then returned the animal bones to Yun, and said, "Do you understand? Just dig like this. I don't ask you to dig well, just turn the soil over."

"understood."

The totem warriors have high fighting spirit, such a simple job can be done after just one read.

"Start digging."

After Chen Bei finished speaking, the totem warriors all started to break the ice and dig the soil, and the "dong dong" sound of fists hitting the ice could not be heard.

Chen Bei looked at it for a while, and found that a few teenagers who had just awakened were struggling to smash it, because the ice layer was thicker in some places, and it was not easy to break it with fists.

"Stop using fists, use big rocks."

Under Chen Bei's reminder, these teenagers began to use stones instead, and the efficiency was indeed much higher.

The movement here naturally alarmed everyone in the tribe. When they knew what these totem warriors were doing, the stronger people consciously joined the ranks of land reclamation, wanting to contribute to the tribe.

In the cold winter, the Mang tribe is actually working like a blaze, which can be regarded as a wonder in winter.

As for Chenbei, he found the stone tool master in the tribe, and used charcoal to draw the appearance of hoes and shovels on the ground, and asked the stone tool master to make some.

The stone tool master thought for a while, and said: "Things are not complicated and can be made, but totem warriors are strong, and ordinary stone materials may not be able to withstand their strength. We need to find good stone materials."

Chen Bei said: "What kind of stone do you want, you tell me, I will find it for you."

The stone tool master hurriedly said: "How dare you ask the leader to go in person, there are many good stones on the mountains near the tribe, just find two totem warriors, and follow me to dig these stones back."

"Okay, I'll ask two totem warriors to go with you right away."

To be on the safe side, Chenbei sent Yun and another strong totem warrior to the stone toolmaker, asking them to dig the stone back as soon as possible and protect the stone toolmaker's safety.
