Chapter 227 Sugarcane

With the departure of the first expedition team, the second expedition team also returned soon after, but this time there was no joy of returning home. Only nine of the thirteen people who went out came back, and four of them had been confirmed to have died by the people who returned.

This bad news was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the restlessness of the tribesmen, and he couldn't help but re-examine the adventure plan.

Wang Lang was not surprised that the death of the expedition members was caused. If you want to have a high income, you have to bear the corresponding risks.

Wang Lang called the leader of the second expedition team over and asked what was going on.

According to this person, after leaving the rear tribe, the second expedition team moved eastward. Two days later, they found a group of prey, but they happened to run into a group of prey birds. After fighting to the death, they escaped back so many people, and the four died on the spot.

After listening to the narration, Wang Lang was silent for a while and said, "This mission would have been very risky. Don't go out for the time being. If you still want to go out, put your hands together first, but I don't want you to be hit by this failed experience to hit your confidence."

The leader of the second expedition team nodded when he was hungry, and turned around and left Wang Lang with a little lonely look.

The dead tribe members all had families, but fortunately there were no children, and Wang Lang had no intention of letting them stay widows. After Wang Lang's inquiry, he found that the wives of the four dead tribes were exchanged from the Liehuo Tribe not long ago. It can be said that there was no emotional existence between these couples.

In order not to waste resources, Wang Lang redistributed the four women. Although this was inhumane, if he gave such a widow a pension, he thought it was not good for the dead tribe members. He took the pension he had earned with his life and his wife would marry someone else in the future. They would not be so angry that they died of it when they knew it.

Fortunately, this adventure is entirely a personal act, and the tribesmen understand this truth and have no complaints about Wang Lang's arrangements. If they do not covet the money, stay in the tribe honestly and receive a fixed income every month, they can live a more prosperous life as long as they save some.

The paleness of the second expedition team greatly affected people's enthusiasm for the expedition plan. For a long time, no other expedition team appeared.

The tribe lived a dull life, and there were no major projects to do recently, and even the slaves lived an extremely comfortable life.

In addition to lacking freedom, these slaves have improved a lot with the increase in the variety of foods in the Salt Tribe. At least they can have a full meal in two days. It can be said that compared with the previous hell, this is already considered happiness.

Fruit wine is still being brewed. With the continuous accumulation of experience, the fruit wine tastes much better than before. A small number of fruit wines can be put into trading stations for sale. The unique taste of the wine quickly conquered the taste buds of the tribesmen.

Everyone will buy one by one every now and then.

The First Expedition Team has been away for ten days now. Wang Lang didn't know where they were now and what happened. He was very worried that the First Expedition Team would be wiped out this time. If that were true, it would be a fatal blow to this expedition plan. It is very likely that people will become disgusted when they hear the adventure in the future. This is the result he really doesn't want to see.

The worried Wang Lang walked back and forth in the tribe in annoyance.

While wandering aimlessly, Wang Lang unknowingly came to the cucumber field.

After such a long period of cultivation, the cucumber field has expanded many times. The small yellow flowers blooming on the cucumber seedlings look particularly pleasing to the eye.

Bees are flying back and forth among the flowers.

Looking at the group of flying bees, Wang Lang suddenly came up with the idea of ​​raising these bees.

With so many bees, as long as they are properly raised, they can produce a large amount of honey. Wang Lang knows that honey is a good thing.

For the time being, Wang Lang found Mu Feng and asked him to make the beehive according to his own narrative.

Nowadays, after making so many tools, the carpenters have made great progress in their work, and the things they make are no longer rough and have begun to develop in the direction of beauty and practicality.

Mu Feng did not ask what this thing was for. He knew that as long as it was asked by Wang Lang, it would definitely be useful.

While Wang Lang was busy studying how to raise bees, after more than ten days of continuous search in the jungle, everyone on the first expedition team finally made a discovery.

At this moment, the members of the expedition team were in a state of excitement, looking at the strange plants in front of them, their faces were full of excitement.

"This thing is so sweet. It seems that it is really worth it for us to kill that monster." One person said excitedly.

Zhao Dashu took out the dagger and cut off the thing, peeled it, and put it in his mouth and started chewing it comfortably.

"This thing is so sweet, much sweeter than the red flame fruit." Zhao Dashu said with great pleasure.

If Wang Lang had definitely recognized this thing at a glance, it was sugarcane.

Just before, the first expedition team found this piece of sugar cane after killing the big centipede that was two meters long.

The sweetness emitted by the broken sugarcane deeply attracted everyone on the expedition team. After tasting it, they immediately loved this thing.

"I guess this thing will definitely be noticed by the leader." Someone said excitedly.

"But it's still two days away from the road. We can't take it back at such a long distance!" someone sighed and said.

Zhao Dashu smiled confidently and said, "What's the difficulty? You forgot that when the leader found the marijuana, he didn't bring the mature marijuana back, just brought the seeds."

"Yes, just bring seeds. I actually forgot about this. I'm so stupid. You're still smart." The man slapped his head and smiled.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's get the seeds as soon as possible. We have been out for so long and if we don't go back, the tribe will think something happened to us." Zhao Dashu said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded, no longer delayed, and took off their pockets and worked hard to collect sugarcane seeds.

Three days later, the first expedition team finally returned to the tribe.

When the tribesmen saw the expedition team return, they immediately surrounded them. This time they saw them almost empty-handed, and they all thought they had nothing to find when they went out. While they were regretful, they couldn't help but be glad for them. Fortunately, they did not lose their troops like the Second Expedition Team.

After Zhao Dashu came back, he directly took his people to find Wang Lang.

When Wang Lang saw them coming back safely, he couldn't help but sigh and sighed.

"It's good that I can come back safely." Wang Lang patted Zhao Dashu on the shoulder.

"The leader, the second expedition, we have heard about it, the tribesmen said you might want to cancel the expedition, is this true?"
