"Go tell those people who are out there to gather in the open space tomorrow morning. I want to give them a speech," Qiao Yu said. "After that, we'll continue fishing. Everyone can trade the fish they catch for dried meat. One fish for one bowl of dried meat. Bring the dried meat with you when you go out to pick up people, in case the people from the Stone Tribe have no food and are too hungry to walk on the road."
When everyone heard that they could go fishing again tomorrow morning, their eyes lit up immediately: "Yu, can we try it too?"
Originally, they had no idea fish soup was so delicious, so Qiao Yu hadn't asked them to try it, and they hadn't paid much attention. But now that they knew fish soup was delicious, they definitely had to learn how to fish themselves.
Qiao Yu didn't refuse: "Okay, I'll let you try it when the time comes."
Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow more and more.
The next morning, Qiao Yu held a mobilization meeting for the expatriates, talked about some precautions, and then took the five people from yesterday, plus the captain of the female hunting team, Ye, to the river.
This time, Qiao Yu drilled six holes, explained the precautions again, demonstrated again, and then let everyone learn to drill by themselves.
Practice makes perfect. After practicing a few times, everyone slowly cast the net and caught fish.
As I said, the fish in this primitive society have never been beaten by humans, they are stupid and numerous. As long as these people can cast the net and then pull it up, they can catch a net full of fish.
Everyone stayed by the river for a whole day and caught more than a dozen wicker baskets of fish, enough for the tribesmen to drink fish soup for a while.
At this point, Qiao Yu felt relieved about the affairs of the tribe. Before dawn the next day, she quietly left the valley tribe and headed east.
She was going to walk along the river, looking for a suitable place for the tribe to migrate.
She thought it would be best to build the new location of the tribe near the river.
First, it is convenient for irrigation and water use; second, the river can serve as a natural barrier; third, the river can be used for transportation imports and exports, and people can sail by boat when necessary; third, living by the water, the fish and shrimp in the water can provide meat and fish for the tribesmen.
This place needs to be large enough to grow food, raise animals, and catch fish and shrimp. This way, you won't be surrounded. If you're trapped, you can rely on the resources inside and stay there forever.
The most convenient time to find such a migration site is winter. When the river is frozen, Qiao Yu can walk directly on the river surface without being blocked by the cliffs and mountains on the river bank.
Qiao Yu arrived with special powers that not only gave her immense strength, capable of lightning and thunder, but also gave her excellent physical fitness, making her immune to cold or heat, and allowing her to move faster than the average person. It would certainly be unsafe for an ordinary person to walk on the ice, fearing the ice wouldn't be thick enough and they'd fall into the river.
Qiao Yu wasn't afraid. She was quick and agile. If she felt the ice was not moving, she would immediately move away, to another place before it sank, to avoid falling into the water.
She just walked on the ice and flowed down.
Walking in the snow and ice, breathing the fresh air, Qiao Yu's nerves, which had been tense since entering the end of the world and the primitive society, suddenly relaxed.
She felt like she was traveling. She was no longer exhausted by being chased by zombies, no longer had to worry about the lack of supplies, and no longer had to worry about the tribal affairs.
She can empty herself and think about anything or nothing.
If possible, Qiao Yu plans to make such a trip every year in the future.
After walking along the river for about five days, Qiao Yu stopped at a place.
She was standing at the foot of a cliff. Above the cliff, from the shape of the river that meandered in an arc for several miles, it could be seen that the area above was wide and flat, and half of it was surrounded by the river.
Qiao Yu looked around, walked along the river for a while, and finally found a place to climb up.
After some effort, they climbed to the top of the cliff. As Qiao Yu had guessed, there was indeed a large flat area.
Although the word "flat" wasn't entirely accurate, as the ground was dotted with hills, slopes, boulders, and even vast expanses of deciduous forest and thorny bushes covered in snow, revealing only traces and shapes, the land was generally flat. At least Qiao Yu could see far into the distance through the gaps between the dead trees.
Qiao Yu was excited. She walked along the riverbank for twenty to thirty minutes before reaching a cliff. The cliff's broken edge revealed a corner of a towering mountain. From its shape and the thick layer of snow on top, it was clear that this was a waterfall in spring, summer, and autumn. Melting water from the perennial snow on the mountain flowed down the mountain and merged into the river at her feet in the shape of a waterfall.
Qiao Yu turned a corner and walked along the cliff. He walked for five or six hours and finally stopped before dark.
She had already gotten a general understanding of the situation of this piece of land. She was not too satisfied with this place.
From the river cliff to the waterfall, two small earthen hills stood like guards, with a relatively flat area of about a hundred acres in between. She only needed to dig a small ditch to bring in water and build a wall. In this era without firearms, this place would be like a fortress, extremely secure.
There are about one hundred acres of land, and more than ten acres are enclosed for breeding. The rest of the land is used to grow crops such as millet and sweet potatoes. Together with the fish and shrimp in the river, even if they do not go out hunting, it is enough to feed two or three hundred people in the tribe.
The next day, Qiao Yu did not go back immediately, but stayed there for another day to choose a place to build the house and have an idea of what to do in each place. Then, on the morning of the third day, he walked out from between the two small hills and headed towards the tribe based on his sense of direction.
The tribesmen were migrating here, and they couldn't take the river route like she did. She had to choose a shorter and easier route for her next migration.
A few days later, Qiao Yu stood at the gate of the tribe riding a wild horse.
The gatekeeper saw her and rushed into the tribe excitedly, shouting, "Yu is back, Yu is back."
Everyone in the tribe put down what they were doing and ran out to greet Qiao Yu: "Yu, you are finally back."
"Yu is back."
"Great, Yu is back."
Qiao Yu was surrounded by everyone enthusiastically, and his heart was warm.
Although she feels free and at ease outside, this is her home.
"Yu, have you found the place?" someone asked loudly.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Qiao Yu.
"Found it." Qiao Yu showed a bright smile on his face, "It's a great place."
"Oh, that's great." Everyone cheered.
