    Although this year¡¯s autumn harvest was abundant, the tribe was still enveloped in a depressing atmosphere.  Some people have already begun to attack their homeland. Small tribes like theirs, with few people, would have a hard time competing with those big tribes.

    This time the enemy has been repulsed, but what about next time?  They are lambs that have been targeted by the wolves. Although they escaped from the wolf's mouth this time, they will not give up easily on those beasts.

    Autumn harvest is a heavy job, but no one complained. Even the group of teenagers, who were usually the most inconspicuous, began to follow the adults honestly, working all day long.

    In the tribe, golden rice is drying everywhere, and strings of corn are hanging under the eaves. Everyone¡¯s granaries are full, but the full granaries cannot comfort this group of frightened people.

    After the autumn harvest, the tribe began to make weapons in full swing. This bow and arrow offensive brought them benefits, so every household began to make bows and arrows, especially arrows. This is a consumable product, so be prepared.

    Those men who are not good at archery spend a lot of time communicating every day, and the half-grown boys have also begun to learn archery. There is no way, the population of this tribe is too small.  Even if the entire tribe stood on the wall, the distance between people was still very large. The victory in the first war had too many elements of luck, and they could not expect to win by chance every time.

    Chen Qiao was walking in the tribe and saw that every household was making bows and arrows. The adults were casting arrowheads and the children were cutting arrow shafts. When they had nothing to do, everyone would sit together and hold the nocks of their arrows.  Although bows and arrows are practical, they are not omnipotent. They are very useful when the enemy is not too far away from you, but once the enemy leaves the range or is already in front of you, the bows and arrows are useless.  The hands will also become very passive.

    So Chen Qiao tried hard to recall, what other weapons are simple to make and easy to operate?  The first thing that comes to mind is naturally the catapult, but this thing is not easy to make, and it is also very laborious to operate. Their tribe cannot allocate so many strong laborers to watch the catapult, and the accuracy of the catapult is really not very good.

    After thinking about it for a few days, but with no results, Chen Qiao and Baya discussed it and decided to change the training method. According to their current training method, they only know that they stand on the same spot and shoot fiercely at one place. They will encounter them in actual combat.  Under various circumstances, panic is inevitable.

    For shooting practice, the target cannot be dead at first. It¡¯s okay that there are people in the tribe who have hunted before. For example, Ge Geng¡¯s family are all farming-oriented and have never had such experience, as well as those half-grown children.  , they are the future force of the tribe and must be well cultivated.

    They first put some miscellaneous floating things into the sea and let them drift with the waves, and then stood on the shore and shot. This was a bit difficult, and everyone was very frustrated at the beginning, but the effect of the practice was remarkable, and  The arrows shot out are usually washed back to the shore by the waves, so they are not wasted.

    Then there is the practice of close combat. Normally, everyone uses their own weapons to practice their hand skills. During the battle, those who use knives will be replaced by wooden strips, and those who use guns will be replaced by wooden sticks. These substitutes are painted on the key parts.  The juice of a kind of wild berry, purple-red. As long as the juice of this berry is left on the opponent's body, it means that you have lost the fight.

    Practicing with a real person is definitely more effective than practicing alone. Fighting is improved in practice. Although Chen Qiao cannot provide them with some martial arts methods, he still knows a little bit about anti-wolf moves, although it is not much in actual combat.  It is also good to use it and teach the women in the tribe to play.  After all, this era is no better than the peaceful era. If one day someone really falls into the hands of the enemy, they must either be wiser or simply commit suicide. Those small fights of resistance can be omitted directly.

    In addition to these, Chen Qiao plans to give the big boat a try. This time is different from the last time. He will not let those children mess around again.  A few people from the tribe who were strong and calm in character were selected, and they took the members of the original fishing boat with them to start the trial voyage of the big ship.

    For the first time, they drove around the bay. They felt that the boat was in good condition in all aspects, but it was a little too light. So they put some rocks on different parts of the boat to weigh it down, which not only maintained balance but also increased the weight.  The weight of the boat, so that the waterline is deeper, the boat will run more smoothly.

    After the problem was solved, they went outside the bay. This time Chen Qiao and Baya also went, and many people from the clan also went. Such a big ship requires a lot of sailors, and everyone is still too new to this position.  Yes, you need to practice hard.  Fortunately, the members of the fishing team have some experience. There are rocks and the like there.Yes, they could see it to some extent. In this way, their journey was smooth. When they came back, they cast the net several times and caught a lot of seafood.

    After Bige applied liquid and a layer of resin on this big ship, it looked much more energetic and beautiful. Driving such a big ship in the sea felt quite majestic.

    Only this time, everyone was obsessed with the feeling of sailing. From then on, they went out to sea once a day. Everyone was vying to go. The women in the tribe who did not know how to fish in boats also went out several times out of curiosity.  The sea, except for the old man, this guy is seasick.

    We didn¡¯t go very far at the beginning, but we came back within half a day.  As time went by, everyone moved farther and farther away, and eventually, sometimes they couldn't come back on the same day.  Because this coastline is very long, they judge the direction based on the rising and setting of the sun, and they have never made any mistakes. However, if they cannot return at night, they must be extremely careful.

    Although Chen Qiao taught everyone to use the North Star to tell the direction, it is difficult to grasp the distance when sailing at night. In addition, the ocean itself is not dead, and the sea water is also moving.

    It¡¯s a pity that magnets were not discovered, otherwise we would no longer have to worry so much. For people in this era, the compass is really too luxurious and far away.

    Because of their familiarity with the ocean, this heavy tribe has become more confident. If one day they encounter an enemy they cannot resist, they will at least have a way out. The ocean is a place that most enemies cannot reach.  But in this sea, I wonder if there will be a pure land, waiting for them to dig out and build a truly safe home.

    Although they think so, most people still can't abandon the original village. They have put so much effort into it. They built houses, cultivated fields, repaired walls, and even dug mines.  After so many years of hard work, how can you just give up?
