Chapter 31 Training Warriors (for further reading)
Before we knew it, the total population of the tribe reached 300 people.
It is not easy to feed such a large family now. Now the tribe has always relied on fishing teams to obtain food.
Usually there are hunting teams to hunt, but now in the winter, the animals have hibernated, and they are also free.
Now that it's a rare sunny day, Su Yu feels that they can't let them waste this whole winter.
"Everyone from the hunting team is here. The clan leader wants to train you." Su Yu asked Su Xun to call them. Su Xun is now in charge of them.
The hunting team did not follow Su Yun and stay in the Tanlang camp. After all, the tribe still needed them.
After a while, the members of the hunting team came running over, but the formation was a bit loose.
Su Yu's eyes moved around them and found that each of them looked sluggish and weak.
After staying in the house for a month, I was almost exhausted.
"Stand up straight, don't be so loose." Su Yu suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly.
The members of the hunting team were startled by the clan leader's sudden voice. Their heads shook and they stood up straight. Their expressions that were still a little sluggish immediately became energetic.
"Today, I'm going to train you. You must be tired of staying in the house for a month." Su Yu said to them.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" The tribesmen in the hunting team all nodded. They were getting tired of staying at home.
If you have a spouse and do that every day, you will be almost exhausted after a month. If you don’t have a spouse, you will sit in a daze every day, and you will almost feel stupid after a month.
"My training for you is not just for you to exercise, but I am preparing to select outstanding tribesmen in the tribe to become tribal warriors. In the future, the task of fighting and defending the tribe will be the work of these selected warriors."
"Ah? Chief, aren't we considered warriors of the tribe now?"
They were immediately confused and a little panicked because they had always thought that they were warriors of the tribe.
"Of course not. Only by passing the training can you have the opportunity to become a warrior in the tribe. This training will not be difficult. If you can't even complete the training, then go home and take care of your children as soon as possible."
Su Yu deliberately stimulated them. The training was of course not difficult. They were just asked to run, stand in line, and obey orders.
Sure enough, when they heard the last sentence, they immediately became excited.
If you were sent home to take care of your children before you completed training, wouldn't it be a disgrace to your family?
"Let's start training now. The first thing is to stand up straight for me. Keep standing. If anyone doesn't stand for half an hour, then go back to hunting. What I want to select are excellent warriors." Su Yu saw that their spirits were very high.
, strike while the iron is hot and let them start training.
They immediately stood up straight. Although they didn't stand in formation, they looked much better than before when they all looked crooked.
What Su Yu wants now is to correct their posture and posture. They have always been stooped, and they walk like this now. It is probably a sequelae of hunting. When tracking prey, they need to lower their bodies and cross their legs.
As a result, a bad occupational disease developed.
Having seen the appearance of a modern army, when he saw the appearance of his tribe's warriors, he immediately became determined to train them to correct their body shape first, and then to train their discipline and formation.
This walking posture is hereditary. If all the children in the tribe learn to walk like them in the future, Su Yu will not be able to cry and faint in the toilet.
Even Su Xun would be like this, so Su Yu also pulled him over to practice stance together.
Su Yu was adjusting their posture at the side, holding a branch in his hand. Whoever made too many small moves would be punished by giving him a whip on the palm of his hand.
Fortunately, although they made many small moves, they persisted.
Su Xun was also whipped, and he couldn't hold back. But after being whipped, he knew that the patriarch was serious about it.
Even though he was sweating profusely, Su Xun insisted on standing.
Of course, standing posture cannot be corrected in a short time. Su Yu saw that they had only stood for a short time, and all of them were covered with sweat.
They also felt uncomfortable. After standing up straight, their whole bodies felt uncomfortable, but with the patriarch supervising them, they did not dare to shout.
In this way, the sun in the sky walked for a while. Su Yu estimated that the time was almost up and it was time for them to rest.
"Okay, this round of standing training is over. Have a good rest. We will continue in the afternoon and gather here."
Su Yu's words sounded like the sound of nature to them, which relieved them and made them relax at that moment.
A group of people collapsed on the green brick floor that had been cleared of snow, gasping for air. Their entire bodies were soaked with sweat.
"You've sweated so much, why are you sitting here? Why don't you change your clothes and take a bath with hot water? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Su Yu frowned when he saw them sitting in the ice and snow to freeze, and scolded him seriously.
road.
Everyone got up quickly, not daring to rest anymore, and hurried home to change their clothes.
Since the advent of the loom, the tribal linen textile industry has developed very rapidly. Su Yu asked a woodworker to copy the loom, and then Su Qing promoted it to every tribal woman's home.
Usually women have nothing to do but help with the caught fish and take care of the tribe's meals.
Now that there was a loom, Su Qing handed over all the weaving skills to them, and she even learned how to use the loom.
Now they are not very proficient in using looms, but the linen they produce every day is enough to make more than a dozen sets of adult clothes.
Now the warriors of the tribe have two sets of clothes, one to wear and one to change. However, although linen can cover the body, it does not keep warm. The plush animal skins still have to be worn, but they are not worn directly like before.
Instead, it was sewn with a needle.
Su Qing annoyed Su Tie and asked him to help customize this needle. With Su Yu's consent, he made a lot of them in one go, enough for the tribe to use.
Making iron needles is also a slow and detailed work, which is also very helpful to improve Cycad's skills. It is also his first time to try to make such a small iron tool. After making the iron needle, he gained a lot.
Although it is snowing every day and we can only stay in the house every day, the tribe has not completely stopped developing.
Su Tie and the other two blacksmiths were already familiar with blacksmithing, and their efficiency quickly improved.
Even the teaching has become much easier. The learning progress of these apprentices has improved a lot compared to a month ago. One of them can even start blacksmithing and is about to enter the ranks of junior blacksmiths.
Now is the beginning. Su Yu is very happy to see the development of the tribe. Isn't this more fulfilling than watching the screen and playing a development and management game?
In the afternoon, the members of the hunting team gathered at the meeting place on time.
At this time, a tribesman ran over. He was a member of the fishing team.
