    In the spring of this year, the clan leader asked everyone to sow more seeds because they didn¡¯t know when the next war would start. Everyone was extremely enthusiastic about the business of collecting grain.  So the spring sowing began again in full swing. The men rolled up their trousers and worked hard in the fields, sweating behind their backs, while the women and children planted many vegetables and fruits in front of and behind their houses.

    Chen Qiao asked them to plant as many varieties as possible. Even the roads in the village were planted with corn. Originally, they would not grow food in the village, mainly because it was not necessary. How much could they grow in a small amount of land?  Moreover, the village is not big to begin with, and with so many crops planted, it becomes very messy and crowded.

    But Chen Qiao did this, and no one expressed dissatisfaction to him.  On the one hand, it's because of Baya's face, and most importantly, people in the tribe have a blind superstition about Chen Qiao. They believe that anything Chen Qiao says must be right, and as long as he does something,  It must make sense.

    And this kind of wholehearted trust did not make Chen Qiao proud, but instead deepened his uncontrollable guilt.

    As for when the enemy will fall to the ground, they are actually preparing for the worst at all times, but there are some things that they don¡¯t necessarily have to say and share with everyone.  As long as everything that needs to be done is done, it doesn't make much difference whether there is one more person to worry about or one less person to worry about.

    It¡¯s just that most people in the tribe also understand that their future is worrying. Even children like Maixi have begun to follow their father to the fields in silence.  Every evening, the father and son returned home covered in mud. Chen Qiao, who had been doing housework all day, would twist up a wet cloth and wipe their faces. Seeing his two sons becoming darker and thinner day by day, Chen Qiao felt very unhappy.  Feel good.

    The big one is better, because the skin is naturally fairer and does not darken very much when exposed to the sun. The small one is already as good as black charcoal ones.  Sometimes he was grinning, and Chen Qiao looked over and saw only a pair of white teeth. Everything else was obscured by the white teeth, and only a faint black blur could be seen.

    There is a lot of work in the fields in spring, but there is very little food. Many vegetables and other things have not grown yet, and there are no fruits at all. Chen Qiao can only use those limited resources to come up with limited tricks.

    The people in the tribe love tofu the most, and there is no particularly advanced technology in making tofu. Since the tribe introduced soybeans, the tribe has to make it several times after the autumn harvest every year. This kind of food is scarce in winter and spring.  Tofu is a great dish when in season.

    Their family loves spicy food, and tofu stewed with chili pepper is their favorite, plus a little bit of bean paste. Although the tofu and bean paste are from our own house, when cooked together, it has a unique flavor.

    There were not many dishes on the table, including a scrambled egg, a spicy tofu, a plate of bean sprouts, and a plate of fried seashells. In the evening, Chen Qiao cooked a pot of hot porridge, and the steamed buns were all eaten very deliciously. Chen Qiao  I'm thinking of killing a chicken tomorrow. If I keep eating like this, the children's bodies may not be able to bear it. They are still growing, so don't be exhausted.

    The girls in the tribe are busy spinning and weaving the cotton recovered last year, because there was a lot of cotton planted last year, which is enough for them to work for more than half a year. When the autumn harvest this year, new cotton will be recovered.  After a while, in summer, the weather will become very hot. They should take advantage of this period to do as much work as possible so that they can be more leisurely in summer.

    Now they can not only weave cotton, but also do some simple tie-dyeing techniques, especially the girls¡¯ skirts, which are much brighter after being dyed, and they look more energetic.  Men generally wear coarse cloth, because cotton clothes are not wear-resistant enough, and men's clothes are particularly damaged when working, so everyone adds some twine when spinning, so that the yarn spun and the cloth woven will be stronger.  , but relatively not so soft.

    There are very few carpentry jobs now. Because of the instability in life, people no longer always spend their energy on things that are of no use and that cannot be taken away.  There was a lot of farm work at home, and Dilla went to work in the fields with his younger brother. Although the adults in the family didn't say anything, he still felt the atmosphere was depressing.

    Sometimes he couldn't help but think that all of this was his fault. If he hadn't accidentally fallen asleep, and if he had followed Chen Qiao's instructions and kept a close eye on Ken Yin and wouldn't let her leave, maybe all this disaster would be over.  There will be none.  They will live a peaceful life as before. They don't have to worry about the enemy coming every day like they do now.

    He is a sinner, and he has been enduring such condemnation in his heart. He had a nightmare again that night. This nightmare has been tormenting him recently. He dreamed that many people in the tribe died.Blood gurgled along the paths in the village. Those once friendly tribesmen looked at me with hatred in their eyes. What were they talking about what were they talking about

    Chen Qiao gently patted Dilla's cheek with his hand. The child had been having nightmares for a while and it was not getting better. He took it to Bige and said that taking medicine was useless. He had to understand it by himself.  OK.

    How could he not know the demonic barrier in Dila's heart? Sometimes he himself is possessed by the demonic barrier. It would be great if he hadn't brought Kenyin back. Sometimes he would think so, but what's the use?  There is no regret medicine in this world.

    Chen Qiao couldn't sleep well these days. He tossed and turned in bed every night, always feeling uneasy. He was thinking that if the enemy came again one day and they were unable to resist, what would happen to this tribe?  With so many people inside, how can we escape unscathed?

    In the end, Chen Qiao decided to park the big ship on a desert island not far from the tribe. The desert island was very close to the coastline. The soil on the island was thin and not suitable for growing crops, but the trees did grow quite lush.  They have never seen other tribes in this area, so it should be safe to hide their ships on this island.

    ¡°If one day they really encounter the worst situation, with everyone¡¯s water skills, it won¡¯t be particularly difficult to swim to the island.  And they also have a small boat, so the situation might not be that bad. Maybe they can take a boat over.

    Faced with Chen Qiao¡¯s troubles, Baya didn¡¯t know how to comfort him. They each had their own troubles and burdens.  As long as this man knows that he will always be by his side no matter what, that's enough.

    No matter how many setbacks there are in life, the two of them have to face them together.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
