She looked at them with a smile and roughly counted them. Wow, in addition to the ten people before, there were more than twenty people in the Bear Tribe.

Just by taking a quick look, Jiang Xue discovered that most of the people here were men, and there were very few women.

She sighed. She never expected that the people of the Bear Tribe would have the same few women as the people of the Snake Tribe.

Are the women here really reduced to mere reproductive tools for them, and they don't even bother to take them with them for something as important as moving?

Despite her disappointment, Jiang Xue still showed great enthusiasm for their arrival: "Welcome, welcome. You must be tired. Come and have a drink of water."

As soon as the people of the Bear Tribe entered the territory, they didn't take time to rest and just looked around to see the strange things.

Seeing the pigpen, he was amazed: "Who came up with this idea? How could it be built so well?"

They touched the pigsty, and some even punched it, praising it and saying, "It's really solid."

Then, they arrived at the pavilion where pottery was stored. Someone walked in, picked up a clay figurine, and said, "Is this pottery? It's a lot lighter than a stone bowl!"

Finally, someone pointed to the toilet and asked, "Is this a cave too?"

Faced with their questions, Jiang Xue was somewhat amused and helpless. She had to explain, "This isn't a cave, it's a toilet. We've already started growing vegetables, and this is excellent fertilizer." She added, "Since you're planning to merge with our tribe, from now on, whenever you're in the tribe, you can only relieve yourself here. If I catch you urinating or defecating here again, I won't care what your status was in the Bear Tribe before, and I'll punish you accordingly."

Before she finished speaking, someone walked in.

After a while, he came out again and said in surprise, "I can't believe your tribe has such a good cave."

They looked and touched all the way, and Jiang Xue let them do as they pleased.

She walked straight to Akagi and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Chief Akagi. By the way, your injury..."

Chief Akagi shook his head: "It's just a minor injury, it won't be a big deal, it will heal soon."

Jiang Xue felt relieved. To be honest, she hadn't heard from them in the past few days, and she had discussed with Mu Feng more than once what they would do if Chi Mu changed his mind. Now that she saw them coming, she finally put her heart at ease: "Have all your people come? Why don't I see any women and children?"

"They're still behind. As you know, the old people and women can't keep up with us physically, so they walk slower. I thought I'd send our things over first and then go pick them up."

After hearing what he said, Jiang Xue immediately arranged a few people from the original Bear Tribe, and asked Dashu to find a few people to go with them to pick up the people.

Akagi waved his hands repeatedly: "That's not possible, we can just go and pick it up ourselves."

"Since you have joined our Snake Tribe, we are now one family. You have come a long way and it must have been hard. Rest here for a while. I will ask Grandma to make you something to eat. Don't worry about anything else."

She could see that it had been very hard for them along the way.

The temperature difference between morning and evening was large in the past two days, but now it feels cold even at noon.

They had walked all the way here, carrying tools and animal skins that they were reluctant to throw away, so you can imagine how much physical energy they had consumed.

Now when she heard that he wanted to go back to pick up people, Jiang Xue naturally refused and hurried to find Dashu. Dashu agreed without thinking and left with a dozen people.

They came back in the evening.

There were thirteen old men and women in the Bear Tribe, including two pregnant women.

The number of children is similar to that of the Snake Tribe, only eight.

The child has short legs and small arms, so it is more difficult for him to walk. Look, the tree is carrying a child of four or five years old on its shoulders.

The others either supported the elderly or supported each other as they walked forward with difficulty.

With so many more people in the tribe, the accommodation became a little tight.

Fortunately, Jiang Xue had foresight and had someone cut a lot of hay and put it in the cave early on. Now, the hay came in handy.

The beds of the Snake Tribe are made of hay spread on the ground, with animal skins on top, and people sleep on the animal skins.

But in the past, there were fewer people and the living quarters were spacious, but now there are suddenly so many more people and their living quarters need to be adjusted.

Jiang Xue no longer wanted to listen to the live show at night, so she simply connected all the beds against the stone wall to form a large bunk bed, with the men sleeping in one bunk and the women sleeping in another.

She and Mu Feng are no exception.

After seeing the cave, the people of the Bear Tribe all expressed no objection, and the matter was happily decided.

But Jiang Xue knew very well that this way of living could only be temporary. Once she had stored enough food, she would have to ask people to dig soil to make bricks, or use the most primitive rammed earth walls to build a house.

It can also be built with bamboo, but the iron smelting industry has not developed at all. Cutting bamboo requires a large number of stone knives, stone axes and other tools. Instead of building bamboo houses, it is better to use rammed earth to build houses.

Although rammed earth walls look simple, they require quite a few tools.

First of all, you need a mold to pour soil into. After you have the mold, you also need to make a few rammers, large and small clappers, etc.

The most important thing is to choose the soil.

The black soil definitely cannot be used. Now that the tribe has started planting, the black soil is very fertile and naturally cannot be wasted.

Since the black soil nearby cannot be moved, we can only dig the loess.

Jiang Xue went around the mountain specifically, selected the soil, and then asked them to cut down the trees.

After the trees are cut down, they need to be processed again and cut into wooden boards with stone knives.

Jiang Xue originally thought that it would be difficult for them to do it, but it turned out that she underestimated this group of people.

They were all very strong, and although their tools were not very suitable, they were very good at cutting wood boards. After they cut down the trees, they only spent an hour or so to make them into boards.

With the wooden board, the mold is naturally easy to make.

Simply put, the mold for building a rammed earth house is a rectangular wooden box without a bottom or lid. The box is about one and a half meters long and about thirty centimeters wide.

Then we make a rammer to compact the soil in the wooden box.

There was no place to put the finished tools, so they were temporarily placed in the pigpen.

Next, the men in the tribe went out hunting every day, while the others learned weaving and practiced martial arts in the tribe.

Xiaohua and Aqing followed Jiang Xue's instructions and walked around the fields a few times every day to see if there were any small animals causing damage.

The cabbage is growing more and more well, changing every day. The radish is not much behind. The two vegetables are competing with each other and growing desperately.

The weather was getting colder and colder. In the morning, the sky was covered with dark clouds. After noon, snowflakes suddenly began to fall.
