The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 275
In the central part, the jackal tribe is still encroaching on the nearby territory without haste. The major tribes in the central part are watching closely, and the two sides occasionally have small-scale battles, causing mutual damage.

In the Southern Wilderness, the power of the Mang tribe continued to expand, and more and more forces were attached to it. The walls of the Mang tribe were also built higher and higher.

Chen Bei didn't particularly trust these attached tribes, the most trustworthy ones were the members of the Mang tribe.

He knew very well that if the Mang tribe faced a major crisis in the future, few of these tribes would truly live and die with the Mang tribe.

The most important thing is to develop the strength of the Mang tribe itself. As for the tribes that have attached themselves, it is just icing on the cake.

Time just passed by day by day.

……

In the second month of summer, the unexpected happened.

No one expected that it would rain continuously for ten days!
"Boom!"

"Crack!"

In the sky, a thick bolt of lightning struck down to the ground, hitting some kind of mountain top, and the sound of rolling thunder was deafening.

"Huhuhu..."

"Wow wow wow..."

The wind howled, and many trees were bent, and the branches that were not so strong were broken directly.

The pouring rain was crazily washing over the ground. The rain was so heavy that if there was no shelter, the eyes would be slammed shut.

"Clap clap clap..."

A soldier was wearing a coir raincoat made of palm bark and a bamboo hat on his head, and hurried into Chenbei's yard.

The rain was too heavy, and if he hadn't been wearing the impermeable animal fur coat, even with the coir raincoat, he would have been completely soaked.

Under the eaves, the soldier took off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, shook off the water on his body, and then entered Chenbei's room barefoot.

"Boss, the river has risen again, and the stone wall can no longer stop it."

The soldier's face was very anxious. When the Mang tribe built stone walls, they also built a wall on the river bank.

However, since there was no lime at that time, they were all piled up with stones, filled with sand, and the gaps were relatively large.

In previous years, this stone wall was enough, because the river seldom rose up to the stone wall.

But this year is different. Due to the heavy rain for too long, the river has flooded to a height of more than one meter above the stone wall.

Washed by the rain, the sand inside the stone wall quickly dissolved, and the stone wall was crumbling.

Chen Bei's complexion is also not very good-looking, this year's weather is worse than expected.

The tribe has been defending against enemies from the north, and the city wall was built on the north and east sides first. If I knew this, I would have built the city wall on the south first, so that at least the river would be blocked.

"How are the crops in the field?" Chen Bei asked.

"It's not very good either. The river flows backwards along the ditches. The planting team is already working hard to build embankments to stop the water, and the effect is not ideal."

"I see, you can leave when the rain subsides."

"It's okay, leader, everyone is outside in the rain."

The soldier didn't listen to Chen Bei's words, put on his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and rushed into the rain again.

Chen Bei was silent, he stood at the door, looking at the pouring rain outside, feeling very bad.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

Another thick bolt of lightning flashed across, and the light shone on Chen Bei's face.

Chen Bei whispered: "The extreme weather has begun. From now on, life may not be easy."

In the Mang tribe, everyone was worried about the rain, and those totem warriors, regardless of the danger, were busy in the heavy rain.

……

butterfly tribe.

In the wooden house, all the giant butterflies could not go out, and the heavy rain trapped them in the wooden house.

On the altar, because of the totem god, the giant flowers have grown to tens of meters high, and a leaf is bigger than a house.

The totem god of the Butterfly Tribe folded its wings and placed them on the bottom of the leaves to avoid the rain.

But it can be seen that it is in a very bad mood, and the seven-color light on its body has also dimmed a lot.

Dozens of totem warriors shuttled through the sea of ​​newly grown flowers, grabbing the fat bugs back into the wooden house in baskets from under the leaves of those huge plants.

Because it had been raining for too long, the soil on the ground was almost soaked.

Those insects that usually hide in the ground also came out one after another, looking for high places to hide from the rain.

These giant plants in the Butterfly Tribe are very good. They grow tall and have wide leaves. If they are placed under the leaves, they can effectively avoid the invasion of rainwater.

But in this way, a lot of food was provided to the members of the Butterfly Tribe. Every day, a large number of bugs were caught from this sea of ​​flowers, and then brought back to the wooden house, pierced with sticks, and roasted to eat.

"Crack."

The leader of the Butterfly Tribe took a bite of the crispy worms, and said to the witch sitting next to him, "It has been raining heavily for ten days, why doesn't it stop? If it weren't for these worms crawling over continuously, we would all be starving to death." .”

"Wu, why don't you do a divination?"

The Butterfly Tribe Witch also ate a worm, but his eating was much more attractive, holding one and chewing slowly, unlike other people who put a stick in his mouth to bite like a kebab.

"It's useless. I've tried it a long time ago, but I can't predict anything. This is a natural disaster and cannot be predicted."

"Maybe, the witches of the Mang tribe can do divination. After all, they are about to become a big tribe, and their witches are much more powerful than me."

The leader of the Butterfly Tribe said: "I don't know what happened to the Mang Tribe. They have so much food, so they should live better than us, right? They won't eat bugs."

The surrounding Butterfly tribe also nodded in agreement. They had seen the richness of the Mang tribe. It rained continuously, and other tribes might not be able to withstand it, but the Mang tribe would definitely be able to withstand it.

……

The Mang tribe does have a lot of food in stock, but Chenbei doesn't plan to move the stockpile at the moment, it is life-saving food at a critical moment.

But without storing food, how can they feed tens of thousands of people in the tribe?
The answer is, rely on water to drink water.

Flooding is certainly a catastrophe, but in the process of this catastrophe, people will also be sent a lot of special food.

Food from water.

By the Lobster River, two hunting teams and the totem warriors of the fishing team are quickly catching fish and shrimp in shallow water.

After the flood, not only the worms on the ground climbed up, but also the lobsters, crabs, and snails in the water also climbed up crazily.

Lie stood by the shallow water, with the turbulent river in front of him, he looked up from time to time, and if he found danger, he ran immediately.

He dragged a rattan basket, and quickly grabbed those snails, lobsters, and crabs that were as big as bowls or even plates into the rattan basket.

Because there were too many shrimps, crabs and snails climbing up, he quickly picked up a whole basket.

"Bring two more rattan baskets!"

With a strong cry, soldiers from the fishing team soon came over with two rattan baskets, and then carried the full rattan baskets back to the tribe.

"Crash..."

A big fish suddenly swam up ahead and swam frantically into the shallow water, weighing about 30 kilograms. Lie's eyes lit up and he stopped picking up the snails. He immediately pulled out the harpoon on his back and quickly speared it.

"puff!"

The big fish was hit by the harpoon and struggled frantically, but couldn't break free from the harpoon.

"Hahaha, pick it up!"

The big fish was flung to the shore, and then dragged the rattan basket, continued to pick up snails, shrimps and crabs, and occasionally speared fish.
