The scorching sun hung high in the vast sky, and the heat wave hit people, completely driving away the last bit of coolness of spring.

Nishi Ichisu wore a wide-brimmed straw hat and gently waved a woven fan.

At this moment, she was squatting in the open space, carefully examining the pottery she had made yesterday.

Many of them have already shown cracks.

"It seems that we can't leave them directly under the sun. We still need to find a cool and ventilated place to let them dry naturally." She sighed and moved the cracked jars aside one by one.

There is no need to burn these anymore, but they can still be used to store dried fruits and the like, so they won't be wasted.

Then, Nishi Ichisu returned to his original position and touched the inside of the earthenware which was still intact.

Just as she expected, even though it looked completely dry on the outside, it was still wet on the inside.

If it is fired like this, it is very likely to crack due to uneven heating.

Just as she was about to move the intact earthenware jars to another place to continue drying them, a familiar voice suddenly rang out:

"Sister Xiqi, let me help you!"

When I looked back, I saw that it was Sky who had walked over at some point.

As he spoke, he quickly moved the jar.

Nishi Ichisu followed his movements and looked towards the thatched shed not far away, where a mat was spread and several children had already woken up.

Considering that they had been planting potatoes for the whole morning, they were allowed to take a nap at noon.

This thatched hut was built by the warriors yesterday.

Since the trap was set, they returned to the tribe a little earlier, so many things progressed a lot faster.

However, there is no rush to build a house.

Nishi Ichiki's gaze shifted to the earthen kiln not far away—

After all, earthen kilns are not only used to fire earthenware jars, they also have many other uses.

It’s just that manpower and materials are not sufficient at the moment, and caves are cool and refreshing to live in in summer, and can perfectly shelter from wind and rain, so there is no need to rush to build a house for the time being.

A house cannot be built overnight, nor can it be completed just by talking.

Nishi Ichiki thought about starting with drawing a structural sketch of the house. After all, he had never built a house before, but he had been fortunate enough to see the mortise and tenon structure, the fruit of the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors.

Just as her thoughts were wandering, she heard a noise behind her.

"Everyone get up!" Yan Luo's face turned stern and he said sternly.

As he shouted, the children climbed up from their mats one after another, rubbed their sleepy eyes, and looked at Yan Luo with confused faces.

Seeing this, Nishi Ichiki couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk, life will be hard from now on."

Skye also hurried over and stood obediently among the children.

Several people looked at each other, all of them seemed to be at a loss as to what to do.

Why did Uncle Yanluo suddenly become so fierce?

Seeing that the children were already standing, Yan Luo directly pointed to two children who were already ten years old and said, "From today on, Ster, Skye, the two of you will also join the hunting reserve team."

"What is the hunting team reserve?" Ster asked puzzledly.

Well, it was Nishi Ichiki who gave this name.

Last night, of course, they not only analyzed the psychological activities of Chief Shanyan, but also planned the future development blueprint of the Yanyuan tribe.

Chen Qi already knew about the trap and everything Xi Yiqi had done in the past few days, so he solemnly pounded his chest twice to express his gratitude and support.

In this way, the pressure of hunting is reduced, time is saved, and more things can be done.

Chen Qi proposed to train the children of the tribe in advance.

So, they hit it off immediately.

With just a word from you and me, many things were finalized.

One of them is the establishment of a hunting reserve!

In a way, this can also be called "going to school."

It's just the original version of the curriculum system.

Yan Luo said in a deep voice: Starting tomorrow, you and Xiyi, Heishi, and Lanxi will take turns following me and start making traps outside the tribe! In addition..."

He paused, his eyes were sharp as torches, he scanned the people in front of him, and then said: "Get up early every day to practice long fist and stone arrow shooting, and practice throwing stone spears after the bonfire!"

There is an attitude in his tone that cannot be refuted!

When Ster heard this, his face turned pale!

Skye didn't react at all, but just replied calmly: "Yes!"

These were the suggestions Nishi Ichiki made last night.

Although these children are still young, they are the hope for the future of the tribe. Only through rigorous training can they grow into true warriors.

The situation of the Yanyuan tribe is not optimistic.

Due to the decline of the Yanyuan tribe, Chen Qi paid more and more attention to the safety of his children, which is why they had almost nothing to do except gathering and picking up firewood before Xi Yiqi crossed over here.

Yesterday, Xi Yiqi mentioned it slightly and Shen Qi reacted immediately.

The decision was made immediately and the matter was settled!

Seeing that Ste didn't say anything, Yan Luo walked up to him and stood still, with his hands behind his back, staring at him, motionless.

When Ster saw this, he shuddered and immediately stammered, "Yes... yes!"

Yan Luo nodded with satisfaction: "Then you two come with me this afternoon." As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the three people behind him.

"You three will follow Wu Xiqi to do things this afternoon. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" the three answered in unison.

Seeing that everything had been explained, Yan Luo was about to ask the two men to carry their tools and go with him.

A girl ran out from the crowd and stopped him.

It’s Kana!

The girl who was looking for water filter materials for Nishi Ichisu was about the same age as Nishi Ichisu.

"I want to go too!" Her clear and firm voice said.

Yan Luo frowned: "Then why did you follow Lu Ye to learn how to make stone tools?"

"I can learn about stone tools in the morning and make traps in the afternoon!" Kana said eagerly.

Yan Luo stared at Kana's determined eyes, thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay! You come with me too."

Anyway, he has to take a few people back to the tribe to eat and rest at noon as Xiqi requested, so it’s not a bad idea to let Kana follow in the afternoon.

You know, Kana's mother used to be a brave warrior with great strength!

After getting permission, Kana smiled, quickly put on her tools and stood up.

The few of them did not waste any time and set off immediately.

"Lu Ye has really good vision..." Yan Luo stared at the thin back of the girl in front of him, as if he remembered the days when he hunted side by side with her mother, and murmured in a trance.

Seeing Yan Luo and the other three people walking away, the other two children under the age of ten breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Ya was still rubbing her eyes in a daze.

There are not many underage children in the tribe, only ten at most, including Nishi Ichiki.

In addition to the older ones Skye, Kana, Xixi and Heishi, the younger ones are Xiyi, Ster and Lanxi.

Apart from these, there were only three children under the age of ten - eight-year-old Luna, nine-year-old Luha, and five-year-old Yanya.

In addition, no other children have been born in the past few years, except the new life in Nimei's belly.

After Yan Luo left, the remaining few people came over.

Xi Yiqi noticed Xi Yi at first sight.

He has grown a lot taller recently and his skin has become tanned by the sun.

Well, it’s comparable to what I have!

The two hadn't spoken much for some time.

Since returning from the Wasa tribe, Xi Yiqi has been very busy, and Xi Yi follows the hunting team out early and comes back late every day, so the chances of meeting are very few.

I was so tired at night that I fell asleep immediately.

But now it’s good, we will have more opportunities to spend time together in the future.

"You guys come with me."

Without further ado, he led a few people straight to the charcoal kiln.

There are still many things to do next...

In the afternoon, they first took out the charcoal that had been burned last night and piled it up.

Charcoal needs to be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight, so a cave is not an ideal choice.

Therefore, yesterday someone built a wooden platform next to the cave and added a waterproof straw shed to make storage and retrieval more convenient.

After finishing, Nishi Ichisu led a few people to the wasteland with tools and backpacks.

There is important work waiting for them this afternoon!
