Chapter 253 Sugar Cane
With the departure of the first expedition team, the second expedition team also came back shortly afterwards, but this time there was no joy of returning with a full load. Only nine of the 13 people who went out came back, and four of them had been confirmed dead by those who came back.

This bad news, like a pot of cold water, extinguished the restless mood of the clansmen, and they couldn't help re-examining the expedition plan.

Wang Lang was not surprised by the death of members of the expedition team. If he wanted a high income, he had to bear corresponding risks.

Wang Lang called the leader of the second expedition over and asked what happened.

According to this person, after the second expedition team left the Horde, they headed eastward. Two days later, they found a group of prey, but just happened to collide with a group of preying moa birds, and they escaped after fighting desperately. Point people, those four people died on the spot.

After listening to the narration, Wang Lang was silent for a while, and said: "This mission is inherently risky, so don't go out for the time being. If you still want to go out, first gather enough people, but I don't want you to be killed." This failed experience has hit your confidence."

The leader of the second expedition nodded hungry, turned around and left Wang Lang a little lonely.

All the dead clansmen had families, but luckily they had no children. For the remaining widows, Wang Lang had no intention of making them widows. After Wang Lang's inquiry, he found that the wives of the four dead clansmen all It was exchanged from the Raging Fire Tribe not long ago. It can be said that there is no relationship between these couples.

In order not to waste resources, Wang Lang redistributed the four women. Although it was very unreasonable to do so, if he gave such a widow a pension, he thought it would not be good for the dead clansmen. Pension, their own wife will marry someone else in the future, and they will die of anger once they find out.

Fortunately, this expedition is completely personal, and the clansmen also understand this truth, and have no complaints about Wang Lang's arrangement. If they don't covet the money, stay in the tribe honestly and receive a fixed income every month, as long as Save some and live a more nourishing life.

The paleness of the second expedition greatly affected people's enthusiasm for the expedition plan, and there was no other expedition for a long time.

The tribe lived an ordinary life, and there were no major projects to be done recently, and even the slaves lived very comfortably.

In addition to the fact that these slaves have no freedom, their diet has also improved a lot with the increase in the types of food with salt. At least they can eat a full meal in two days. It can be said that compared with the previous hell, this It is already considered happiness.

The fruit wine is still being brewed. With the continuous accumulation of experience, the taste of the fruit wine today is much better than before. A small part of the fruit wine can already be sold in the trading station. The wine has a unique taste and will soon be sold. Conquered the taste buds of the people.

Everyone will buy a little bit every now and then to satisfy their appetite.

The first expedition has been away for ten days. Wang Lang doesn't know where they are now and what happened. He is very worried. This time the first expedition will be wiped out. If that is the case, it will be A fatal blow to this expedition plan, it is very likely that people will change their faces when they hear about the expedition in the future, which is a result he does not want to see very much.

Worried Wang Lang walked back and forth in the tribe irritably.

After wandering aimlessly, Wang Lang unknowingly came to the side of the cucumber field.

After such a long period of cultivation, the cucumber field can now be said to have expanded many times, and 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 this 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 raised properly, they can produce a lot of honey. Wang Lang knows that honey is a good thing.

Forget about the first expedition for now, Wang Lang found Mu Feng and asked him to make beehives according to his description.

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

Mu Feng didn't ask what this thing was for, he knew that as long as it was requested by Wang Lang, it must be useful.

While Wang Lang was busy researching how to raise bees, in the depths of the jungle, after more than ten days of non-stop searching, the members of the first expedition team finally found out.

The members of the expedition team, who were quite embarrassed at the moment, looked at the scattered and strange plants in front of them, and 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 a dagger and cut off a section of this thing, peeled it off, put it in his mouth and chewed it comfortably.

"This thing is really sweet, much sweeter than Chi Yan Guo." Zhao Dashu said enjoying it very much.

If Wang Lang were here, he would definitely recognize this thing with a few words at a glance. This thing is sugar cane.

Not long ago, after the first expedition team killed a two-meter-long centipede entrenched here, they discovered this piece of sugarcane.

The sweetness emanating from the broken sugar cane deeply attracted everyone in the expedition team. After tasting it, they immediately fell in love with it.

"This thing must be taken by the leader." Someone said excitedly.

"But there are still two days away from the road. We can't take it back with such a long distance!" Someone said with a sigh.

Zhao Dashu smiled confidently and said: "What's so difficult about this, you forget that when the leader found the hemp before, he didn't bring back the mature hemp, just the seeds."

"That's right, just bring the seeds. I actually forgot about it. I'm so stupid. You're the smart one." The man slapped his head and laughed.

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

Everyone nodded, without further delay, they took off their pockets one after another and worked hard to collect sugarcane seeds.

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

When the tribesmen saw the return of the expedition team, they immediately surrounded them. Seeing that they returned almost empty-handed this time, they all thought that they had gone out this time with nothing to gain. Lost troops and lost generals.

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

Seeing them come back safely, Wang Lang could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

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

"Boss, we've heard about the second expedition. The clansmen said that you might cancel the expedition. Is this true?"

After Zhao Dashu finished speaking, the members of the expedition team looked at Wang Lang nervously, for fear of saying something they didn't want to hear from him.
