After cutting enough deer grass, Mufeng asked someone to dig some yellow clay.

Of course, during this process, Mu Feng also taught the tribe how to recognize yellow clay, cress and other things that are useful to the tribe.

This surprised the teenagers who came out of the tribe for the first time. They didn't expect that coming out with the great chief was not only about hunting, but also knowing a lot of useful things.

Mu Feng's explanation gave them a feeling that in the wild, there seemed to be many things to eat and many things to use.

After the yellow clay was dug up, Mu Feng asked the boys to rush back with these things on their backs.

Of course, in order to take the lead and model, he also carried a large bundle of coir grass on his back.

A dozen or so wolves were always guarding nearby, so they didn't encounter any accidents.

This made these teenagers even more surprised, because these wolves were really guarding around them to protect them.

Correspondingly, they "worshiped" their great chief even more, and looked at Mu Feng with fanaticism.

When going back, Mu Feng deliberately asked Ming Guang to take them a little farther away, after all, he still had to hunt some prey back.

Because the cold tree was no longer there, and Mingguang couldn't afford to open the three-piece bow, Mufeng had no choice but to "bite the bullet" again. He took out the three-piece bow from behind, picked up the bow and shot an arrow, and shot down the one that was gnawing. The horned deer in the grass once again attracted bursts of exclamation.

Following Mu Feng's arrows, the wolves also moved out quickly.

The hunting team consisted of thirty or so people, plus ten wolves, which made hunting extremely simple.

People shot arrows to startle the horned deer, and the wolves were responsible for throwing them head-on, and captured a dozen horned deer in a short time.

According to the agreement, Mu Feng gave five deer to the wolves, and they brought the rest back to the tribe.

This trip was considered to be smooth and smooth, so smooth that all the teenagers felt unfulfilled and wanted to go out with Mu Feng again.

One is that following Mufeng is protected by a pack of wolves, and the other is that they feel that they haven't encountered anything more exciting.

In fact, if there is no wood wind, or no wolves, they may not travel so smoothly.

This was a bit beyond Mu Feng's expectation, he intended to let these teenagers experience some "storm".

"It seems that the strategy this time is a bit wrong. Next time, we can't take so many hunting team members out, or let the wolves hide in the dark, and then attack when it's critical?"

Mu Feng sighed, it seems that there is still a long way to go to teach children and educate the tribe.

"This matter has to be discussed in the long run." Mu Feng thought, "How to educate children and how to encourage births must be put on the agenda. We must find something for these idle people to do!"

"But right now, we still have to solve the most practical problem—making coir raincoats and straw hats."

The deer grass has been cut, and he even asked someone to move a few clusters of deer grass, and planted them in the tribe together with the plantain and perilla that he discovered this time.

But the freshly cut coir grass cannot be directly used to weave coir raincoats.

Firstly, the coir raincoat is still green grass and has not been dehydrated. If it is really woven into a coir raincoat, it will be very heavy, and it will shrink greatly in the sun, making it unusable.

The second reason is that fresh scorpion grass is very "brittle", easy to break, and can't be used for a long time.

Therefore, it is best to make coir raincoats in autumn, when it matures naturally, the leaves of the grass dehydrate and turn yellow, become flexible and light, and the coir raincoats can be used for a long time.

But now it's spring, and Mufeng can't wait for that time, so he has to find another way to make the desiccant grass dehydrate and become tougher as soon as possible.
This method is also very simple - steamed grass!

As the name suggests, it is to put the scorpion grass on a large pottery urn filled with water to evaporate the water and accelerate the dehydration and toughening process of the scorpion grass.

He also learned this method from the ancient practice of steaming bamboo arrows.

At that time, it will be easy to handle after steaming the scorpion grass, and put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally in the shade and then use it directly.

This matter is very simple, he directly finds Bai Fang and asks her to take the deer grass and steam it on the pottery urn.

Bai Fang looked puzzled, not understanding what Mu Feng was going to do.

Mu Feng explained: "After you steam the coir grass, you can dehydrate it, and after drying it, you can use it as a coir raincoat to keep out the rain."

"Coir raincoat, to keep out the rain?" Bai Fang asked.
