Chapter 87 Reconstruction
"Hua La La..."
In the Feiyu River, five bamboo rafts crossed the river together, and the members of the Teng tribe on the rafts were very excited.
When they set foot on the land on the other side again, many people felt tears welling up in their eyes.
“We are finally back!”
Gan Song knelt on the ground, picked up some soil, and felt an indescribable sense of security in his heart.
"Crops, go check on the crops!"
Gan Song put down the handful of soil and hurried to the field.
The others couldn't contain their excitement and walked back one after another.
When Gan Song ran to the farmland, he found that the farmland had not been damaged at all, except that a lot of weeds had grown there.
Gan Song breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, the crops are fine, we just need to weed them."
After saying that, Gan Song immediately squatted down and started pulling out the weeds with his bare hands, being very patient.
On the river bank, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao were the last group of people to cross the river. After they crossed the river, they first dragged the bamboo raft to the shore and then walked towards the bamboo forest.
On the way, Jiang Xuan saw Gan Song who was weeding. A smile appeared on his face. This guy has become an avid plantation enthusiast.
He walked a little further and six plants in a field by the roadside caught his attention.
"Huh? The red crystal rice seedlings have grown!"
Jiang Xuan discovered that the seedlings of red crystal rice that he had planted earlier had grown to more than one foot tall.
Its seedlings look a bit like corn seedlings, but its stems and leaves are purple-red, the main stem is thick, and the leaves are broad. It should be a grass plant.
This was an unexpected surprise, because before this, Jiang Xuan was not sure what kind of plant these red crystal rice came from.
Now seeing its seedlings, Jiang Xuan feels much more at ease.
The Teng tribe is now short of the staple food of the Poaceae family. If these red crystal rice can grow smoothly and bear fruit, it is very likely to become one of the staple foods of the Teng tribe in the future.
Jiang Xuan observed carefully for a while, pulled out the weeds near the red crystal rice seedlings, and then walked to the front of the bamboo forest.
There were already more than a hundred people gathered in front of the bamboo forest, but no one spoke loudly and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Because to them, it was a pile of ruins overgrown with weeds.
Although everyone had known that the tribe’s houses had been burned down by the Mosquito Tribe, when they actually saw this scene, they still found it hard to accept.
When Jiang Xuan saw the ruins, his face gradually became gloomy.
"Mosquito Tribe!"
Jiang Xuan clenched his fists, his heart burning with anger.
At this moment, Chishao patted Jiang Xuan on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter if the house is gone. We still have a lot of things hidden in the cave."
Hearing Chishao's words, Jiang Xuan suddenly remembered that they hid most of their things in the cave when they evacuated.
Jiang Xuan shouted to everyone, "Don't just stand there, find the entrance to the cave, then dig it open and take out the things inside."
"Yes, our things are still buried underground."
"Look for it quickly. I don't know if the food is moldy."
…
After Jiang Xuan's shout, everyone came to their senses and immediately began to dig through the rubble, looking for the entrance to the cave.
Although the house had been burned into ruins, everyone still remembered the location of the entrance to the cave.
Therefore, not long after, someone dug out the first cave entrance from the ruins, and worked hard to remove the soil and stones that had blocked the entrance bit by bit.
When the first hole was dug, the warriors of the Teng tribe carried out a large number of tools, pottery and other things from it, and everyone burst into cheers.
The tuberous plants stored in the underground caves have only sprouted, and most of them are still edible.
Only some foods that are not resistant to storage are covered with mold when they are taken out and cannot be eaten.
This makes everyone feel very sad and unfortunate because those are all food!
The tribesmen cherish food very much, because they often suffered from hunger in the past and are afraid of hunger.
More holes were dug and the contents were taken out.
Including a large pottery tripod used for cooking, which is what everyone eats with, and it is hidden very well.
After moving the things out of the cave, Jiang Xuan immediately asked everyone to clean up the ruins, and then temporarily build some simple shelters on the original site to protect against wind and rain.
When everything is ready, they will build houses that are stronger than before.
Jiang Xuan was helping to build the shelter when Shi Qiu ran over with a grim look on his face and reported to him in a low voice: "Chief, the altar was destroyed by the people of the Mosquito Tribe. The three large pottery tripods were moved away, and even the totem poles were pushed down and chopped into pieces."
"Wu, over at the altar, seems very sad..."
Jiang Xuan's face darkened and he said, "I'll be there after I finish this work. You go ahead and do your work first."
"good!"
Shi Qiu agreed and left in a hurry as he had too many things to do right now.
Jiang Xuan finished building the shelter and then walked into the bamboo forest.
The people of the Mosquito Tribe were very ruthless. Even the huge stone with the totem pattern of the Vine Tribe painted on it was slashed by them and became unrecognizable.
He walked into the bamboo forest step by step and found that the bamboo house where Chishao lived was also burned down, and even the hydraulic medicine pounding device he had just made was burned down.
Jiang Xuan's expression didn't change, but his fists clenched even tighter.
He walked to the front of the altar and saw from afar the empty altar, the collapsed totem pole, and Red Peony standing in front of the altar, motionless like a clay sculpture or wooden sculpture.
Jiang Xuan walked up to Chishao and followed her gaze. He could see that the earthen altar was covered with marks of knives and axes, and the totem patterns were hardly visible.
Jiang Xuan asked softly: "Sister, don't be too sad, we will repair the altar."
Chishao turned around, her eyes were calmer than Jiang Xuan had imagined.
"I'm fine. Compared to the despair we felt when the Deer Tribe was destroyed, it's good enough that we can come back here alive, isn't it?"
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, being alive is better than anything else."
Chishao added: "I have communicated with Teng Shen. Teng Shen has just broken through and needs some time to recover his divine power."
"As soon as the Vine God recovers all his power, he will seek revenge on the Mosquito Tribe!"
"Go get revenge now?"
Jiang Xuan frowned slightly, because the Teng tribe was too weak now. Even if all the people were turned into warriors, there would only be more than a hundred people.
Although Jiang Xuan didn't know how many people there were in the Mosquito Tribe, judging from the number of people they had dispatched so far, their strength was definitely far greater than that of the Vine Tribe.
According to Jiang Xuan's idea, at this stage he should rely on the protection of the divine vine and work hard to develop planting and breeding. After obtaining enough food, he will continue to increase the population. When the number of tribal warriors is large enough, he will seek revenge on the Mosquito Tribe.
Chishao seemed to have guessed Jiang Xuan's thoughts. She said calmly, "When the time comes, Teng Shen will go with us."
Jiang Xuan suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "You mean, Teng Shen will go with us to seek revenge?"
"That's right."
Chishao gave an affirmative answer.
Jiang Xuan confirmed something incredible from Chishao's words, that is, after the divine vine broke through, it could move freely!
This is definitely very shocking news.
You know, most plants can only grow in the same place and cannot move by themselves.
But now, the divine vine can move freely, which is definitely a huge advantage.
It would be fine if the other tribe has a living totem god, but if not, then when the god vine comes in person, what can they use to resist?
Thanks to the book friend "Hide the Injured Sedimentation" for the reward.
