Through the wild age

Chapter 61 Facing the sea...

Although this year's autumn harvest was very fruitful, the tribe was still shrouded in a depressive atmosphere.Some people have already started attacking their homeland. Small tribes like theirs, with few people, are hard to compete with those big tribes.

This time the enemy has been repelled, but what about next time?They are lambs that have been targeted by the wolves. Although they escaped from the wolves this time, they will not give up easily for those beasts.

Harvesting in autumn is a heavy job, but no one complained, even the group of middle-aged and middle-aged children who are usually the most inconspicuous, began to follow behind the adults obediently, working all day long.

In the tribe, the golden rice is everywhere, and there are strings of corn hanging under the eaves. Everyone's granary is full, but the full granary can't comfort the frightened people.

After the autumn harvest, the tribe began to manufacture weapons in full swing. This time the bow and arrow offensive brought them sweetness, so every family began to manufacture bows and arrows, especially arrows. This is a consumable product, so prepare more.

Those men who are not good at archery spend a lot of time in contact every day, and those half-grown boys have also started to learn archery. There is no way, the population of this tribe is too small.Even if the entire tribe stood on top of the wall, the distance between people was still very large. The victory of the first war involved too many fluke factors, and they could not expect to win by chance every time.

Chen Qiao walked in the tribe and saw that every household was making bows and arrows. The adults cast arrowheads, and the children cut arrow shafts. They had nothing to do, and everyone sat together to support the arrow tails.Bows and arrows are practical, but they are not omnipotent. When the enemy keeps a distance from you, it is very useful, but once the enemy is out of range or has reached the front, the bow and arrow are useless. Bow and arrow Hands also become very passive.

So Chen Qiao tried to think back, what kind of weapon is there that is simple to make and easy to operate?The first thing that comes to mind is naturally the catapult, but this thing is not easy to make, and it is also very laborious to operate. They can't find so many strong laborers in the tribe to see the catapult, and the accuracy of the catapult is really not very good.

After thinking about it for a few days, there was no gain. Chen Qiao and Baya discussed it and decided to change the training method. According to their current training method, they only know to stand in place and shoot at one place. In actual combat, they will encounter In any case, panic is inevitable.

For shooting practice, the target should not be dead at first. It’s okay for some people in the tribe to hunt before. For example, Ge Geng’s family are all farming-oriented, and they have never had such experience. There are also those half-grown children , They are the new force of the tribe in the future, and they must be cultivated well.

They first put some miscellaneous floating objects into the sea, let them drift with the waves, and then they stood on the shore and shot. The arrows shot are usually washed back to the shore by the waves, so it is not a waste.

Then there is the practice of close combat. Usually, everyone uses their own weapons to practice hand feeling skills. When fighting, the knife is replaced with wooden sticks, and the spear is replaced with wooden sticks. These substitutes are smeared on their key parts. A kind of wild berry juice, purple in color, as long as the opponent leaves this berry juice on his body, it means that you have lost the fight.

The effect of a real-person practice is definitely better than a person's stupid practice. Fighting is improved through practice. Although Chen Qiao can't provide them with some martial arts methods, they still know a little bit about wolf-proof moves, although they are not very good in actual combat. It is also good for the women in the tribe to learn how to play.After all, this era is not compared to the peaceful era. If someone really falls into the hands of the enemy one day, he must either be more sensible or simply commit suicide. Those petty resistance can be directly omitted.

Apart from these, Chen Qiao planned to give that big boat a try. This time was different from the last time, and he would not let those children mess around again.A few strong and calm people were selected from the tribe, and they brought the members of the original fishing boat with them to start the trial voyage of this big boat.

For the first time, they drove around the bay and felt that the boat was in good condition in all aspects, but it was a little too light, so they put some stones on different positions of the boat to keep balance and increase weight. The weight of the boat, so that the waterline is a little deeper, and the boat will run more smoothly.

After this problem was solved, they went outside the bay. This time, Chen Qiao and Baya also went, and many people from the clan also went. Such a big ship needs a lot of sailors, and everyone is still too unfamiliar with this position. Yes, it takes practice.Fortunately, the members of the fishing team have some experience. There are reefs and the like, and they can see them to some extent. In this way, their journey was smooth. When they came back, they even cast nets a few times and caught a lot. seafood.

After the big ship was smeared with potion and then coated with a layer of resin, it looked much more energetic and beautiful. Driving such a big ship in the sea felt quite majestic.

Only this time, everyone fell in love with the feeling of sailing. From then on, they went out to sea once a day, and everyone rushed to go. The women in the tribe who didn't know how to sail and fish also went out a few times out of curiosity. Sea, except for the older brother, this guy is seasick.

At the beginning, I didn't go far, and I came back after half a day.As time went by, everyone went farther and farther, and later, sometimes they couldn't come back that day.Because this coastline is very long, they judged the direction according to the sunrise and sunset, and they have never made a mistake, but if they can't come back at night, they have to be extremely careful.

Although Chen Qiao taught everyone to use the North Star to tell the direction, but because it is difficult to grasp the distance and all aspects of the distance when sailing at night, and the ocean itself is not dead, the sea water is also moving.

It's a pity that no magnet was found, otherwise there would be no need to be so worried. For people in this era, the compass is really too extravagant and far away.

Because of their familiarity with the ocean, this heavy tribe became confident. If one day they encountered an enemy they couldn't resist, they would at least have a way out. The ocean was a place most enemies couldn't reach.It's just that in this sea, I don't know if there will be a pure land waiting for them to go to reclamation and excavation to build a truly safe home.

Even though they think so, in fact, most people still can't abandon the original village. There is too much painstaking effort here. They built houses, reclaimed fields, repaired walls, and even dug mines.After so many years of hard work, how can you just give up and give up?

The author has something to say: I won’t be able to open the golden finger magic horse for the time being, maybe it will come once in the last chapter, well, it will be soon.
