Chapter 118

In the third month of summer, there was already a lot of output in the fields. The wild fruits in the mountains and forests gradually matured, and the breeding technology became more and more mature. The food of the Mang tribe finally stopped being nervous.

In addition to more than 500 tribes, the Mang tribe caught more than 300 people from the Wolf Tribe and the Black Snake Tribe, with more than 800 mouths, and the food consumed every day was a terrifying amount.

If Chen Bei hadn't made up his mind to develop comprehensively and rely on hunting and gathering, it would have been difficult for him to support so many people.

"Let them all come out."

Outside the shed, Chenbei faced the totem warrior stream road guarding the captives.

"Chief, there are so many people, what if there is a stir?"

Xi was a little reluctant because he hated both tribes because of the past and had no trust in them at all.

Chenbeidao: "Whoever dares to make trouble, just kill him."

Xi nodded and said, "Okay, listen to the leader."

The stream opened the door of the shed, brought in a dozen totem soldiers, and drove all the prisoners out.

These prisoners have been arrested for several days. After they were arrested, they only gave them one meal every day and water. Although they could not starve to death, they were too hungry to no strength.

All the prisoners stood outside in a scattered manner, with no glory in their eyes, but occasionally they still had hatred when they looked at the people of the Mang tribe.

Chen Bei stood in front of these people and said, "The reason I let you out today is because you have had some idle meals in the Mang tribe for several days, and it's time to work!"

Hearing Chen Bei's words, the prisoners had no reaction. They all lowered their heads, but no one stood up to resist.

Because those who dare to resist are dead.

"In this forest, countless tourists die every day! You should be glad that you can live until now after the tribe is destroyed!"

"I know you're all hungry. Now, I'll give you a chance to eat!"

When it comes to eating, the expressions on these people's faces have finally changed and are no longer so numb, because they are really hungry. Hunger is terrible and can make people collapse.

"As long as you go to work honestly and do well, you will have food to eat, do more, and even have enough food!"

"Of course, if there are people who are unwilling to work, I won't force you, but from now on, the Mang tribe will not provide you with some food and some water!"

Hearing this, the prisoners' eyes clearly showed a look of fear. If they did not give food or water, they would starve to death.

"Now, those who are willing to work will follow me, and those who are unwilling to work will go back."

Chen Bei did not give the prisoners time to consider, so he turned around and left.

The captives struggled for a while, and then one of them finally took a step. He didn't want to be locked in a small shed anymore, nor did he want to be hungry. It was better to work than to starve to death.

With one leader, others followed one after another, and most of them always followed the crowd.

In the end, five people remained where they were. They were very struggling, on the one hand, they were hungry, and on the other hand, they were hatred, and they did not want to work for the enemy.

Xi sneered: "It seems that I'm not hungry enough, please lock them back!"

Xi is very friendly to his tribe members, but he is not that broad-minded towards these former enemies.

"yes!"

Two totem warriors drove the five people back to the shed and closed the door.

On the other hand, Chen Bei brought the prisoners to the tribe's open space, where a large number of tools were piled up, as well as more than a dozen pottery cauldrons filled with food.

Although the pottery cauldron is full of vegetable leaves, wild vegetables, soles, and some fish and crumbs, the aroma of the food is still strong, making these prisoners constantly swallow their saliva.

They are so hungry.

Chen Bei said to Baicao standing next to the big pottery tripod: "Give each of them a bowl of food and a pair of chopsticks."

"Yes, leader."

Baicao took a dozen women and asked the prisoners to line up to get food in front of the pottery.

As soon as they heard that there was something to eat now, the prisoners' eyes turned green and they all rushed forward.

"What are you squeezing? You can't understand?"

Dozens of totem warriors guarding next to them rushed up one after another, and fists and feet made the prisoners line up obediently.

Not long after, the prisoners all received food and chopsticks. They looked at the chopsticks blankly, not knowing how to use them.

Some people wanted to grab it with their hands, but were stopped by the totem warriors.

The food is right in front of you, but you can't eat it. This feeling is really uncomfortable.

Chen Bei put a bowl for himself, then stood in front of the prisoners and said, "I don't care how you ate before, when you arrive at the Mang tribe, you have to abide by the rules of the Mang tribe. From today on, everyone must use chopsticks to eat!"

"I'll demonstrate it to you!"

The chopsticks in Chenbei's hand kept opening and closing, so that all the prisoners could see clearly. Then, he picked up a wild vegetable from the bowl with the chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The taste is not very good, it is a bit bitter, and there are mixed tastes of other foods. If it were placed in the place where I lived in my previous life, I am afraid that few people would be able to swallow it.

But Chenbei ate without changing his expression. After coming here, he truly realized the preciousness of food. As long as it can fill its stomach, it is good food and cannot be wasted.

"Just eat like this, except for children under three years old, everyone must use chopsticks!"

Under the supervision of those totem warriors, these prisoners were extremely awkward to use chopsticks to squeeze into their mouths. As long as someone wanted to use his hands, the totem warriors would come over to stop him.

Finally, after a bowl of rice was finished, the prisoners breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were far from being full, they had a bowl of rice in their stomachs, so they were no longer so hungry and felt a little strength in their bodies.

"You all use these bowls and chopsticks to eat in the future, remember!"

The bowl is not a pottery bowl, but a bamboo bowl. It is very rough, but it is easier to make and is more durable, so it is enough to give these prisoners a meal.

Chen Bei pointed to a bunch of tools on the other side and said, "Now, everyone takes the tools and goes with me to build roads! Well done, there is still some food tonight!"

The tools of the Mang tribe are much richer than other tribes.

There are vine baskets, shoulder poles, and rattan manure baskets, stone sickles, bone sickles, stone hoes, bone hoes, etc., and basically all are simple farm tools.

Those totem warriors gave each prisoner appropriate tools, such as those with strong bodies, they would give him a shoulder pole and a feces to carry things, and those with thinner ones would give him a bone sickle and let him mow the grass.

Chenbei took them to the tribe's road leading to the cultivated land, and then asked them to start building the road.

After several years of trampling, the ground has already appeared, but it is not wide, and it is bumpy and not flat.

It’s usually good, but when it rains, these roads are full of puddles and mud, which is very slippery, and you will fall if you are not careful.

The autumn harvest is about to begin soon, and a large amount of things must be transported into the tribe. How can I do without a good road?

Although there is no condition to make hardened cement roads now, it is still possible to widen, level the road, and pour sand and gravel.

The sand was picked directly to the river bank, and the gravel stone mason workshop was piled up into mountains.

In addition, there is another reason for Chenbei to build roads, that is, he plans to build a two-wheeled vehicle.

There are so many large animals in the tribe, and it is definitely much more efficient to ask them to pull carts and transport things little by little than to pick them up.
