Farming in the Primitive Tribe

"Then I will let them pick bamboo tomorrow. Xiao Yan will never object to what Shen Xiaoxiao says, not to mention that she is doing it for the good of the tribe.

"Well, if you pick up all the dry bamboo inside, it will be enough for the tribe to survive the winter." They may need more to burn the kang, but in the past, they also burned fires in winter and it was probably about the same.

"good."

They cooked the food and brought it to the table, and the two began to eat.

"I'm going to go on a long trip with them in a few days." Xiao Yan said as he put the bowl on the table.

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise. This was the first time in a long time that he said he wanted to go on a long trip. No, it was not just him, but also the people in the tribe. The most they could do was spend the night outside while going hunting. But this is a very rare thing. Most of the time, they go and return on the same day. After all, it is much more dangerous to spend the night in the wild than in the tribe. Even if there are many of them, they try not to do this.

Now that he can say it's far away, it's probably really far away.

"What to do?"

"Looking for the rice you mentioned, I told them about it, and they also had the impression that Lin Yun had seen it in many places before. He probably remembered how to get there, so we thought about taking a trip. If it can really be eaten, the tribe There could also be more food.”

And he could also see that Xiaoxiao's eyes were very nostalgic when she talked about rice. He thought she must have eaten it often before, and she was probably not used to eating tribal food.

He is willing to do whatever it takes to make Xiaoxiao feel more comfortable.

It doesn't matter if it takes some time. There is no need to hunt now, but he may not be able to come back in time to collect the things in the field with Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao will be tired by then, but it doesn't matter. He will tell them before setting off. I believe they would not be unwilling to ask them to help Xiaoxiao when he is busy. If he is alive, he will naturally not need their help.

Originally, he wanted to go there before, but Lin Yun said that it was around this time that the rice turned yellow as Xiaoxiao said, and it could be harvested. Now they can harvest it just in time, and the fields can't be separated from people, and Xiaoxiao can't do it either. I'm thinking of following along.

Although he now has a car, he is reluctant to let Xiaoxiao be so tired after traveling long distances and being outside is not as good as at home.

"Then I'll go too." Shen Xiaoxiao said subconsciously. She hasn't traveled far away for so long since she's been here. She mostly hangs around here. It just so happens that she can go with them this time, maybe she can still find something. Other food.

"Xiaoxiao, you stay in the tribe." Shen Xiaoxiao was about to say something when she heard, "Didn't you say that the things planted in the fields will be harvested in a few days? If you follow us, what will happen in the fields?" What should I do with the things?" He was sure that Xiaoxiao didn't want to trouble others and would definitely not insist.

If she really wanted to go, he would take her there next time. This time it was their first time, and he was unsure and did not dare to take this risk with Xiaoxiao.

Sure enough, Shen Xiaoxiao calmed down after hearing this. Yes, the land cannot be separated from people. If they all leave and come back after a month, there is no need to ask for the things in the land. She can't bother the tribe too much. People, after all, they have things to do.

Moreover, she also had to teach them how to make quilts and build a greenhouse. Thinking about it, it seemed like there was work everywhere, and she couldn't get out of her way.

Shen Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, "You couldn't have planned this on purpose, right?" Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he went when she was the busiest.

Xiao Yan's heart tightened, but his expression remained unchanged, "Lin Yun told me that at this time, the rice turned yellow as Xiaoxiao said, and the ears of rice were hanging down. If he had gone there early, I can't take it." He wasn't lying, this was indeed what Lin Yun said, but what he didn't say was that they didn't have to go in such a hurry, they could just go ten days later.

But he just didn't want Xiaoxiao to follow him, so how could he go late? It was just the right time to go now, and he would be able to harvest when he arrived.

Shen Xiaoxiao stared at him closely, not seeing anything from his expression before giving up.

"Okay." Although Shen Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, she didn't insist on going. After all, she couldn't drop everything and go out with him. She still had to live her life. "When are you going?"

"We're not sure yet. We'll have to discuss it with them in the next few days before we can be sure." We also need to tell the witch doctor that the number of people to go has not yet been decided, and they also need to prepare some things.

"Then tomorrow I will grind the wheat into flour and make some dry food for you to take on the road." Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said. The wheat they planted has been harvested, but it has not been ground into flour. She is afraid that it will be confiscated if it is not finished. No matter how good it is, just wait until you want to eat it before grinding it.

"No, we can eat it after we hunt some prey outside." Xiao Yan refused without thinking. Xiaoxiao likes to eat food made of flour, so he keeps it for her to eat slowly. They don't need to eat so well when they go out. And they all hunt, so they can’t starve themselves.

"How can this be done? It's so troublesome to get some food when you go out, and the prey is not that easy to hunt. If you don't catch the prey, won't you be hungry?" Shen Xiaoxiao disagreed.

"Okay, listen to me. I'll get something durable. If you catch a prey, you won't eat it. If you don't catch a prey, you can have something to fill your stomach, so you won't starve."

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, "Okay."

"Eat first, I will go to the witch doctor to discuss it tomorrow." Dry food for others also needs to be prepared, but the materials need to be provided by the tribe.

The next day, Shen Xiaoxiao went to the witch doctor and mentioned this matter.

"I just wanted to tell you about this, so you came here." The witch doctor smiled, "They have already told me that I want twenty of them to go together, which should be enough."

Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while, "About thirty people. After all, this is the first time to travel far away. They don't know what is going on outside. They are not familiar with the terrain. It would be safer to have more people." Although Lin Yun said that he had been there, most of them It is the first time for everyone to go there, so if something happens, the other party will be more jealous if there are many people.

The witch doctor was a little embarrassed. She naturally knew that it was safer to go out with more people, but she had to consider the tribe. If thirty males left together, there would not be many young males left in the tribe. She was unsure.

Shen Xiaoxiao knew what the witch doctor was hesitating about, "Although most of the young males have left, we females are not vegetarians, and we also have iron knives and arrows. If anyone really wants to do anything, they have to weigh it carefully." Although there are three missing men. There are ten people, but she doesn't think there is any problem. Some of them are old and no longer hunt, but they still have a lot of strength. Pulling a bow and arrow is not a problem, right? Can't more than a hundred people defend a tribe? And the tribe also dug traps.

"They are out and about, and the more people they have, the more confident they will be." After all, there are so many tall and strong men, and no one dares to provoke them except those who are short-sighted. With more people, they will work faster and come back earlier.

The witch doctor was still a little hesitant, but what the goddess said made sense. It was their first time traveling far away, so it would be safer to take more people with them. In the end, the witch doctor didn't hesitate anymore and decided to go with thirty people.

"I want to make some dry food for them to take with them on the road. After all, we may not always be able to catch prey along the way." This was the purpose of her visit.

"Okay, we need to ask the Goddess to teach us how to get dry food. I'll ask a few females to prepare it with you. What do you need?" The witch doctor didn't have any objections. After all, this time is different from the past, and it won't go wrong to make more preparations.

"I plan to make pancakes with flour for Xiao Yan to take with him. I will also bring some sweet potatoes. If I really can't catch any prey, I can roast a sweet potato over the fire."

"Then we will prepare the same thing as the goddess. Please tell us what we need, goddess." The witch doctor said without hesitation. After all, this matter is indeed very important.

"It goes without saying about sweet potatoes. To make cakes, you need flour and wheat. If you have thirty people, you will need a lot of wheat." After all, it is pure refined flour, and the amount used will probably make the witch doctor feel distressed.

Sure enough, the witch doctor felt a little sore, but thinking of what he might gain, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
