More than two months ago, the children in the tribe have had an additional task - harvesting grass.

Not only them, but also the women in the tribe who don't pick fruits are doing this.

The harvesting of grass had actually been going on for a long time, but the amount harvested at that time was not large. It was enough to feed the rabbits every day and bring some to the deer near the salt mountain.

But now it’s different. Since the Son of God gave the order more than two months ago, they have to harvest at least twice as much grass every day as before.

The excess grass was spread out in the tribe's large yard to dry, and then collected and piled together.

It is not piled directly on the ground, but some thick tree trunks are used to separate the base, and a layer of branches is placed on the tree trunks, and a layer of hay that rabbits and deer don’t like to eat is placed on the branches. Only then do they start to pile the dried hay on top.

This will allow for ventilation and moisture prevention, preventing the hay underneath from getting moldy and rotting.

By now, the dried grass has been piled into three large haystacks.

Han Cheng certainly had his reasons for giving such an order. The purpose was to prepare winter food for the rabbits raised in the tribe, and of course to bribe the group of deer in Yanshan.

The grass that naturally turns yellow and dries up in the fields in autumn tastes completely different from the green grass that is harvested and dried.

Dried grass is more popular with herbivores.

In order to avoid braving the severe winter cold to collect hay from the rabbits, Han Cheng gave orders to make preparations in advance.

The adults in the tribe were not idle either. After picking a certain amount of fruits, they, under the guidance of Han Cheng, built a row of earth mounds inside and close to the wall.

The earth pile was tightly attached to the inside of the wall, one meter wide, one and a half meters high, and two meters long.

One is built every two meters.

Because there was no piling and the foundation was only dug shallowly, this work did not take the tribe too long and was completed in less than a month.

Han Cheng ordered the construction of such a circle of low stacks, which was not superfluous. Such a circle of low stacks played a great role.

On the one hand, it can make the wall more solid, and on the other hand, it can greatly enhance the tribe’s defense capabilities.

Due to time constraints, the tribe's wall was only built to a height of two meters. This height is enough to defend against ordinary wild beasts, but it would be difficult to defend against other tribes or people who are good at climbing.

So Han Cheng built another layer of buttresses on the inside of the wall, which was equivalent to a low wall.

With this 1.2-meter-high low pile as a foothold, the people of the tribe can see the situation outside clearly. When they encounter danger, they can also attack from a high position with stones, stone spears, javelins and other things to defend the tribe.

Looking at the low piles every two meters on the inside, as well as the stones, stone spears and other things placed on the piles, Han Cheng felt relieved.

No matter what, we must do a good job of defending ourselves.

After all, this is a primitive age, not the later era where one can wander the streets alone at one or two o'clock in the morning without getting into trouble.

After this circle of low walls was completed, the eldest brother took the people in the tribe out hunting. Now it was still quite some time before the snow fell.

During this time, you can also hunt some prey.

Although the tribe does not need to worry too much about food now because of the fish cages and the technology to break the ice and catch fish in winter, the eldest brother still led people out hunting.

Their mouths have become a little picky because of the existence of the Son of God. After eating too much fish, they also want to have half a meal of animal meat.

Moreover, this year is different from previous years. In the past, even if the weather was cold, they could not store the meat for too long even if they killed a lot of it. Now, with the method of pickling and drying taught by the Son of God, they don’t have to worry about the meat going bad.

In the forest where leaves were falling from time to time, the eldest brother led ten adult men and ten adult women in the tribe to walk carefully with sharpened sticks, stone spears, and throwing stones. (Heiwa and Tietou were also among them)

They are looking for prey.

Their luck today was not very good. Almost half of the day had passed and they had only caught a rabbit.

Just as they were feeling depressed, there was a sudden noise from the front. Before they were ready, an adult wild boar rushed out from the woods towards them.

This guy obviously didn't expect that there were so many people here. Halfway through his run, he suddenly turned around and ran west.

The eldest brother and other people in the Green Bird Tribe were very excited to see this, and immediately chased after them with their weapons in hand.

At this time, more noises were heard from the woods, and then a group of guys also wrapped in animal skins and holding sticks rushed out, shouting and chasing in the direction the wild boar escaped.

Apparently, they had discovered the wild boar.

The eldest brother, who had just been happy, was immediately not happy anymore.

Like other people in the tribe who wanted to catch up, he stopped and stood where he was, looking with envy at the dozen or so people who were running past him not far away to chase the prey.

Among the dozen or so people running over, the one in front looked the strongest. He was the leader of the tribe.

As soon as he came out of the woods and saw the group of people standing outside the woods, he showed a vigilant look.

Although when two tribes meet while hunting, they generally do not compete with each other for the prey, whoever finds it owns it, but that is also the general situation.

The weather is getting colder day by day. It is the most important time to store food for the winter. At this time, there are more incidents of hunting than at other times.

Moreover, the people of the tribe in front of him were more numerous than those of his own tribe. Most importantly, his own tribe had only discovered the wild boar but had not captured and killed it. In this case, the other party would most likely compete with his own tribe for it. If such a thing really happened, things would be a bit troublesome.

While chasing the wild boar in the direction it escaped, he looked back from time to time at the group of people not far away.

Seeing that they were just looking at him and others and had no intention of chasing them, he felt relieved.

He shouted something and led the tribesmen to chase in the direction the wild boar was heading.

The eldest brother envied these people's good luck. In the quick glance just now, he had roughly recognized this tribe. This tribe had interacted with them before, but their interactions were limited to the carnival held every other year.

They also live in this area, but it is not very close to their Qingque tribe. It takes more than a whole day to walk there.

The Qingque tribe is a friendly tribe. Even in the past, the eldest brother would not compete for the prey discovered first by other tribes. Now that the tribe does not have to worry about food, he will be even less likely to do such a thing.

He stood here for a while, looking at the wild boars and the tribe running away with some envy, then set off with the people in the tribe to look for their own prey.
