【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 308: Primitive Tribe Chieftain Mother-in-law 28

Yun Xi was caught off guard. "Ice Bear Tribe? You should have passed by the Brown Bear Tribe in the north. Why didn't you stay in the Cloud Tribe?"

Xue Qing explained, "The terrain there is too open and difficult to defend. We are also trying to persuade the Brown Bear Clan to relocate as soon as possible. This is Bingyu, the leader of the Ice Bear Clan. Bingyu, you can introduce the others."

The tall Bingyu nodded and pulled the tribesmen to introduce them one by one, "This is Bing One, Bing Two, Bing Three, Bing Five, and Bing Six."

Yun Xi:......

Isn't this a new name?

Bingyu said innocently, "It's a new name."

Well, it is indeed a new name.

"Yue, take them to the last row of houses and give them two rooms each." Yun Xi winked at Yue and arranged, "Shu, bring them some food."

"it is good."

It gets dark slowly in autumn. After dinner, everyone washes their own dishes, and there is still a little light in the sky.

At this time, Yue touched Yun Xi's room and said, "Chief, I have found out everything."

Yun Xi beckoned her over and asked, "Sit down. What do you mean?"

"The Snow Wolf and Ice Bear tribes are neighbors. After being suddenly attacked, ten of them managed to escape at the risk of their lives. I don't know if the others managed to escape. The Gray Wolf tribe's advantage lies in their speed and cooperative fighting, while the Hyenas have a keen sense of smell, hold grudges, and pursue them relentlessly." Yue Ningshen said, "These two tribes originally thrived on the northwestern grasslands and were very numerous."

"how many people?"

Yue was silent for a moment, "Total, there are at least a thousand people!"

Yun Xi also fell silent. There were only twenty-two people in her clan, and now with ten more people coming, there were only thirty-two people in total.

"I'll figure out a way to deal with this." Yun Xi closed her eyes and asked another question, "Did your inheritance come from that mysterious man?"

In the darkness, Yue nodded, "Yes, but there is only knowledge about medicine, nothing else."

"It's strange. Apart from the knowledge of sacrifices and some well-known common sense, Xing has no other information." Yun Xi felt it was very abnormal. As for herself, she only had the memory of Yang before he established the Yang tribe and a road map, and no other inheritance at all.

Perhaps that roadmap is the key to returning to our ancestral land.

"Okay, observe them more and see if they have any bad intentions. If they don't, they can stay." Yun Xi's voice was very steady. "Don't worry about the others, I'm here."

"it is good."

"Chief, look, this food is beef." Bing Yi was very shocked.

"Maybe this area is suitable for cattle breeding." Xue Qing said: "Let's divide it up, eat and go to sleep first. We can talk about everything tomorrow."

"I'll make the bed." Xuelian took out animal skins. These were the only two animal skins they brought with them. Fortunately, it was very hot here, so there was no need to cover herself with animal skins. The temperature in Hanbei had already started to drop.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Yun Xi took Xing to the small square in the backyard, and Yue called Xue Qing and ten others over.

Xing chanted a mysterious and distant sacrificial speech. After a moment, the bluestone lit up, and rays of light sank into the eyebrows of Xueqing and the other ten people. Behind their ears, marks unique to the totem spirits appeared.

"Accepted!"

Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that these people were trustworthy. The surrounding tribesmen cheered. Primitive society was simple and honest. As long as they got the approval of the totem spirit, they would also treat the new members honestly.

Moreover, the tribesmen also gained some benefits from listening to the sacrificial speech.

"Alright, let me make the arrangements." Yun Xi clapped her hands. "Today is a good day to announce new rules."

"Rule 1: Rest one day every five days. In winter, rest for one to two months depending on the situation. The harvest on rest days belongs to you, and the harvest on weekdays belongs to the tribe."

"Second rule: Two people will form teams to prepare the tribe's three meals a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Thirty-two people will make sixteen teams, taking turns. Today we'll start with the mountains and the lake."

"The third rule is that everyone takes turns guarding the watchtower. If Guo was on duty yesterday, it will be He's turn today."

"At the moment, there are only these three. Everything else, such as hygiene, washing dishes, washing hides, and making clothes, you have to take care of yourself."

"Today, Tao, you lead the nine newcomers to dig a canal using bamboo to bring water to the tribe, and I will lead the others to dig a cellar."

Xue Qing asked Yue beside her, "What's the point of digging a canal? Aren't you going to hunt?"

Yue explained simply, "It's about diverting water. Follow Tao and you'll find out. We'll go hunting tomorrow."

We had a simple breakfast of red bean soup and dried meat, and everyone got busy with their own work.

Yun Xi briefly introduced how to use bricks to fix the walls of the cellar, and then she started working hard. She was very tired, but as the clan leader, she had to lead by example and had no chance to lie down and enjoy the treatment of directing the clan members to work.

About ten people worked together, some mixing mud, some transporting soil, some passing bricks, some building walls...

The work was finished before noon, and Tao's work was also finished. He volunteered to lead people to find the cattle in the afternoon.

"Go, go, come back before nightfall. There are too many dangers at night."

"it is good."

In the afternoon, Yun Xi simply took the tribesmen to collect wild grass and medicinal herbs. Wild vegetables also play a big role in winter, preventing constipation and supplementing vitamin C. However, they are not particularly necessary because they are located in the south and some wild vegetables can survive in winter.

"Chief, why don't you go fishing? I think the river on the mountain is quite big, there should be a lot of fish, and we should be able to find a pool of water with plenty of fish."

Bingyu looks silly, but she adapts quickly.

"You know how to fish? The fishing nets we made are useless."

Yun Xi's eyes lit up. He had his own fishing equipment, so he could easily catch some fish. But he couldn't just pull out a nylon rope, polyester, or polyethylene fishing net, right? That wasn't right either. Those materials wouldn't be found in primitive tribes.

There are three methods of weaving fishing nets.

The first is the twisting method for weaving large fishing nets. Two sets of yarns are twisted together by a machine at the same time and intertwined at the intersection to form a net. Since the yarns are not bent at the nodes, the net is flat and friction is reduced. However, the twisting machine is inefficient, the preparation process is complicated, and the horizontal mesh count is limited, so it is only suitable for weaving nets with larger meshes.

The second knotting method is the traditional method of making fishing nets. The fishing nets in the fishing net factory are made by knotting the warp and the weft in the shuttle. The size of the knot is 4 times the diameter of the net rope and protrudes from the plane of the net.

The third type of warp knitting method, the warp knitted knotless fishing net is flat, wear-resistant, light in weight, stable in structure, with high knot strength, and the net will not deform or loosen after being damaged. It can be widely used in marine fishing, freshwater fishing and aquaculture, as well as various other special purposes.

To put it simply, in primitive society, these methods were difficult to accomplish, so Bingyu used traditional methods to weave fishing nets.

"Yes, we can weave nets with vines. There are no big rivers or lakes here, so a smaller fishing net will suffice." Bingyu said quickly, "Leave it to me. We Ice Bears are very good at weaving fishing nets."
