Chapter 58: Picked Up a Person?

After the Hunter Team began their work, the tribe's food supply became abundant once again. Because of the support of better Weapons, the success rate of hunting was constantly rising. Prey that one wouldn't have dared to even think about before, such as large wild boars and bears, could now be wiped out in their entirety.

Hunting to obtain food can only be described as eating day by day. Unless, like the Baifeng Tribe, the hunting success rate is so high and they exclusively occupy a large lake, can the entire tribe be full while still managing to save some.

Once the planted crops grow, the Baifeng Tribe will be able to become a tribe that focuses on gathering and hunting, with farming as a supplement. Their ability to resist disasters will be stronger, and they will be able to develop more powerfully in the future. Once farming techniques mature, the Baifeng Tribe will transform into a more Advanced tribe that focuses on farming, with gathering and hunting as a supplement.

Not many tribes are as lucky as the Baifeng Tribe. Those tribes that were wiped out by Baoxi last autumn will not wait for their own clansmen to bring back exchanged food and furs to help the tribe survive the Winter. That tribe that wanted to exchange for a woman to sacrifice to their own god, I fear that in the end, they couldn't even get an ugly woman; the god could no longer protect them.

I don't know how many of these tribes survived this cold Winter, but the Suiren Clan must have had a fat Winter; so many things were snatched away.

Baifeng no longer spends his days forging Iron, but instead thinks about what good things he can create for the tribe. After all, Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

But in reality, Baifeng hasn't created many more things. After all, there isn't much need for too many tools right now, and the work goes back and forth to just those few things. It's impossible to build a steam engine, right?

What Baifeng feels is most useful, and the clansmen hold the same opinion, is the Giant Crossbow. It is so strong that it requires two people to use force at the same time to pull it open, and then load a nearly two-meter-long Arrow that looks more like a Spear. They only experimented with it once; after releasing it, the Arrow went straight across the Wasteland and stuck into the forest. Even Baifeng hadn't expected this.

If it weren't for it being too heavy and inflexible, the clansmen would probably carry it into the forest to kill tigers and bears. Because the production is too troublesome and difficult, the entire tribe only has this one. Now it is placed facing the city gate. What Baifeng is thinking is to build an Arrow Tower on the city wall in the future and install a Strong Crossbow. If someone invades, the power of this Crossbow alone would make them think twice.

After Baifeng became free, he took Sui everywhere to study the tribe's land. Among the Grass Seed exchanged back last year, Baifeng discovered Rice. In Baifeng's impression, the only regions in the later generations of the Northwest that grew Rice were the Hetao Plain, the Yinxia Chuan Plain, and a few other areas.

In the era and location where he is now, Baifeng feels it is very difficult to grow Rice. This must have been brought for exchange by tribes in the lower reaches of some Dahe; it is definitely not a product of this river basin.

However, Baifeng still reclaimed a few mu of paddy fields to plant Rice. After all, with the seeds in hand, he can try it out. If it succeeds, there will be no shortage of rice to eat in the future. Gujiao is relatively hard, after all, and not as soft and glutinous as white rice.

There is no need to worry about water. During the period when water was cut off in Winter, Baifeng once again improved the tribe's water conservancy system. The water is divided into many pipes; it is no longer just one. For example, there are water pipes next to the toilet, so after using the toilet, one can fetch some water to flush it, so as to avoid it becoming a gathering place for flies in the summer.

It's just that Baifeng really doesn't understand how to plant it. It seems that one has to raise seedlings and transplant them? Baifeng remembers that when he was in junior high school biology, there was a special experiment that required Baifeng to use glass bottles and the like, fill them with wet cotton, wrap Wheat seeds in them, and observe them sprouting. Raising Rice seedlings should be the same principle, right?

There is no cotton, but there is a lot of humus in the forest, which is loose and soft and can be used as a substrate. After soaking it with water, sprinkle the Rice seeds and cover them with a layer of soil. Whether it can succeed depends on how Heaven treats Baifeng.

Just as Baifeng and Sui were fussing with the soil, a dozen or so people who had gone out hunting returned to deliver news to Baifeng.

It was that in order to hunt more prey, they went quite far, but they accidentally discovered a group of wandering savages, numbering over two hundred, only each one was so weak that they had no combat power at all.

They didn't have as many people as these wandering savages, but they could completely kill all these people without suffering any harm. But the idea of Xiong, who led the team, was that there was no need to kill them all. Kill the ones who are too old and too weak, keep the young and strong, and capture them back to be Slaves. Now they are here to ask for Baifeng's opinion.

Baifeng didn't expect that there were other tribes near the tribe; he hadn't discovered any traces before. However, this concerns more than two hundred lives. Now that people are so precious, Baifeng dare not kill at will.

Mainly, he cannot get past the moral hurdle of killing so many people in his heart. Even if he didn't do it himself, just giving an order is something Baifeng is unwilling to do. As long as it doesn't harm his own tribe, let it be.

As for the matter of being a Slave, Baifeng also finds it hard to accept. If it were to enslave someone like Baoxi, Baifeng would be extremely happy. Enslaving a bad person is completely different from enslaving an innocent person.

"Are they a Cannibal Tribe?"

The people who came back to deliver the message shook their heads: "They are almost as thin as sticks. It should be that they had nothing to eat in the Winter, and most of the clansmen starved to death. Now they can only wander. If they ate people, they wouldn't be so thin, and I didn't see them having the characteristics of a Cannibal Tribe."

Since they are not a Cannibal Tribe, then there is no problem. They are wandering savages; why not bring them back to his own tribe and transform them into his own clansmen? There is no need for them to be Slaves. If one wants to have a powerful force in the coming great age, how many years would one have to wait just by giving birth? Annexation is the fastest way.

Baifeng clapped the dirt off his hands, checked that the Knife on his waist was fine, and said to those people: "Go, take me there. I'll see what the situation is before making a decision."

They had no objections and turned to lead the way for Baifeng. From setting out in the morning to now, it was almost afternoon when they returned. If they delayed for a while longer, they would probably have to spend the night in the wild.

Just as Baifeng was about to leave, Sui grabbed Baifeng's arm, indicating that she wanted to go together. But thinking that the journey was quite long, and meeting that wandering savage tribe might lead to conflict, it was a bit dangerous for Sui, so it was safer to let her stay at home.

But Sui, with teary eyes, didn't want to let go of Baifeng. She wanted to go with Baifeng. After being together for so long, Baifeng had long been Sui's pillar. If she left Baifeng, Sui could scare herself just by thinking about it. Moreover, Baifeng was the only one who praised her for being pretty. For so long, Sui felt that he didn't seem to be lying.

Seeing that Sui was unwilling to stay no matter what he said, Baifeng had no choice but to take Sui along. He gave her his own waist Knife and took a Spear that no one wanted to use anymore.

The road was winding and twisting, and Baifeng was almost getting lost. Fortunately, they could all accurately find the way, and while on the road, they could conveniently hunt a pheasant, a pigeon, or something. Baifeng was very satisfied with this group of Soldiers of his tribe.
