The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 262 Ice and Snow Melt, Spring is Here

"Whoa!"

"Snapped!"

Under the eaves, a large piece of half-melted ice fell and fell on the bluestone slab, breaking into dozens of pieces.

Chen Bei was awakened by this movement, opened his eyes, and glanced out the window. The sun had already risen, and several thick and long popsicles had fallen off the eaves.

"Tick, tick..."

In the center of the house, there are several places where water is dripping, because some snow on the roof has melted, some have not melted, there are gaps between the tiles, the snow water cannot flow directly down, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it will drip into the gaps of the tiles in the house.

This is also a big disadvantage of tile-roofed houses. Even if they are well maintained, there will be occasional water leakage problems.

"The snow has melted, and the long winter is finally over."

Chen Bei lifted off the thick rabbit fur quilt, put on the animal fur coat and moccasin boots, put two wooden barrels on the leaking place in the center of the house, and then pushed open the door.

The sun was shining outside, the snow was melting everywhere, the sound of ice falling, and the sound of dripping water could be heard everywhere.

In the yard, a Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree was originally bent by the heavy snow, but now as the ice and snow melt, the Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree slowly straightens up again.

On the fence, a fat colorful pheasant flapped its wings against the sun, stretched its neck, and croaked happily at any time.

Afterwards, it held its head proudly and paced around the fence, not paying attention to the leader Chen Bei at all.

Chen Bei was too lazy to argue with a chicken, so he stretched his waist, opened the lid of the water tank under the eaves, took a pottery pot, scooped up half of the pot of water with a scoop made of gourds, and took another piece that was woven very finely. A sackcloth towel, soaked in water, and washed his face.

Cold water was applied to his face, which made him completely awake.

Afterwards, he hung up the towel, picked up a bamboo cup, and brushed his teeth with a toothbrush made of animal hair, sticking salt on it.

"Gulu Gulu, puff..."

Chen Bei wiped his face again, then put away the towel and toothbrush, went into the house and took a piece of animal meat for breakfast, and walked around the tribe while eating.

In the aisle, many tribesmen are using ice shovels, because the ice is too slippery after half melting, and it is easy to fall when walking on it.

A bunch of children are joining in the fun, chasing and beating each other with ice cubes.

Chen Bei saw with his own eyes a child stuffing ice cubes into his crotch with a smirk. The child's face turned green, his legs tightened, he shivered, and he stood up shaking vigorously.

"Don't run, stop for me!"

The child picked up a bigger ice cube and chased after it angrily, determined to stuff the ice cube into the child's crotch as well.

Chen Bei smiled at this, these kids are playing too crazy.

"Ouch..."

A half-grown black wolf stood on the stone, raised its neck and let out a long howl.

The colorful pheasant in front was still walking around leisurely, scratching the ground with its paws from time to time to see if there were any insects to eat, and it was not afraid of this wolf at all.

Seeing Chen Bei approaching, the black wolf stopped barking, and immediately ran towards Chen Bei, lowered his body, folded his ears, and turned around Chen Bei.

Chen Bei patted it on the brain, and scolded with a smile: "I want to eat my jerky again, I'm becoming more and more like a dog."

Chen Bei tore off a small piece of dried meat and threw it to the black wolf.

The black wolf caught it accurately in the air, and happily ate it.

The Mang tribe now has more than a dozen wolves. The first generation was relatively proud, but the second generation of wolves born in the Mang tribe, such as this half-sized black wolf, already looked like dogs.

Of course, these wolves are much more ferocious than dogs, and sometimes they will chase colorful pheasants or other livestock to bite. Whenever this happens, they will be given a severe lesson, and they dare not bite afterward.

Chen Bei continued to wander in the tribe, and the black wolf would not leave after eating the meat, but followed behind Chen Bei, wherever Chen Bei went, it also went.

"Quack quack..."

Along the creek, as the ice and snow melted, the water flow increased greatly, and the ice on the water surface was quickly washed away. Thousands of red ducks that had been holding back for a winter entered the water and swam happily.

One of the very big red ducks, seeing Chen Bei approaching, immediately flew up from the water. It was so fat that it could still fly, Chen Bei felt very puzzled.

This is the duck king. It has been raised for several years and it is almost mature.

It knew that Chen Bei didn't like it standing on his shoulders, so it fell directly on Hei Lang's back.

The black wolf's waist sank, and it was pressed down. After all, it was not yet an adult, and this king duck was ridiculously big, weighing at least twenty kilograms.

"Woooo..."

Hei Lang rolled directly on the ground, threw the Duck King off, the hair on his neck stood up, and bared his teeth at it, growling.

The Duck King didn't care, and walked around Chen Bei twice, seeing that Chen Bei didn't intend to feed it, so he flew into the creek again.

There, there are countless female ducks waiting for it.

Spring is here, and the animals of the Mang Tribe have come to the... season again!

Chen Bei continued to walk, and in the field he was going to, the planting team had already led people to start digging.

The more than 2000 people Chenbei brought back from the strongholds of the three tribes last year also joined the team of land reclamation and farming. They will be inspected during their work, and those who meet the requirements can officially become members of the Mang tribe in the future.

The Mang Tribe has never been a slave owner, not in the past, and even less in the future.

All people who come to the Mang tribe, no matter what their status is, as long as they work hard, they have the opportunity to become real members of the Mang tribe.

Thousands of people were working in the field together, and the scene was still very spectacular. Chen Bei watched it for a long time before walking elsewhere in satisfaction.

To the west of the Mang tribe, beyond the stone wall, the trading area opened again.

As the Mang tribe's business grew bigger and bigger, the size of the original trading area could no longer meet the demand, and the fence was being demolished to expand the size of the trading area.

Last winter, Chenbei officially formed an engineering team among the Mang tribe, with more than 200 members, half of whom were low-level totem warriors with relatively weak combat effectiveness.

The leader of this engineering team is a simple and honest middle-aged man named Hongtu, a low-level totem warrior who is very talented in building houses and is also down-to-earth.

"boom!"

A section of the fence was knocked down. This kind of wooden fence is not resistant to corrosion and will rot within two or three years.

Seeing Chen Bei approaching, Hong Tu went up to meet him.

"Good leader."

Chen Bei smiled and said: "You have worked hard."

Hongtu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No hard work, no hard work."

Chen Bei said: "Tell me about the situation here."

Speaking of our bank, Hongtu's expression became more natural. He pointed to the fallen fence and said, "Isn't the trading area going to expand? We plan to tear down all these wooden walls, and then build a longer, wider and wider circle. A solid stone wall."

"The houses in the trading area are not enough. We need to build three more rows of mud brick houses, one for selling goods, one for storing goods, and one for living. It will take about half a year to complete."

After listening, Chen Bei nodded in satisfaction and said, "The planning is good, but I have to make a little more request."

"In the center of the trading area, there must be a wide enough street, and houses selling goods are built on both sides of the street."

"This street is all paved with bluestone slabs, so that it will be much more convenient for others to come to do business in the future, and it will not be muddy in rainy days."

"Okay, chief."

Hong Tu wrote down Chen Bei's words, and was going to go back and change the design drawings.

The rule of drawing blueprints for construction was also set by Chenbei, so that you can see the whole picture of the whole project at a glance, and solve any problems in time.

Of course, the drawings of red clay paintings are naturally not professional. The dimensions are all based on feeling, and only the distribution of buildings can be seen.

"Keep working, I'll go in and have a look."

Chen Bei walked into the trading area, and Hong Tu also went back to continue working.

In the trading area, Qiao and five or six teenagers were moving the goods to the shelves one by one, sweating profusely.

After two days of complete melting of the ice and snow, the trading area will definitely be lively again, and it is necessary to prepare now.

Chen Bei didn't disturb them, he greeted them from a distance, walked around, and left.

He trusted Qiao very much, and Qiao never let him down. This girl is indeed very capable.
