Farming in the Primitive Tribe

"Do you know?" Xiao Yan said with a straight face.

"Oh." Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said calmly. Xiao Yan couldn't stand it anymore. "Oh, what does it mean? Did you hear it?"

Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said, "Oh."

Xiao Yan pursed his lips slightly and said pitifully, "You will bully me."

Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing and rubbed his head, "Why are you so cute?" Then, "I don't have three heads and six arms, so why do I need so many males?"

Xiao Yan immediately smiled and said, "I don't want any other females, I only want Xiaoxiao."

The next day.

Xiao Yan went up the mountain with the tribe's hunting people, while Shen Xiaoxiao stayed in the tribe, but before going hunting, he cut a pile of reeds and gave them to her in front of the cave entrance.

After Shen Xiaoxiao ate some food, she spread the reed aside, then sat on the reed and beat the reed with a wooden stick to make it soft. At this time, Axiang came over, looking a little embarrassed, " goddess."

Shen Xiaoxiao raised her head, saw the person clearly and smiled, "Aunt Axiang, what's the matter?"

Axiang quickly waved her hand, "Goddess, you should call me Axiang."

Shen Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, and Axiang continued, "I'm sorry for you, I didn't believe you yesterday."

Shen Xiaoxiao was silent. She couldn't say that what Axiang did was wrong or that she couldn't do it. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In addition, she had offended the public yesterday. Even if she helped to speak, she could not do it. What an effect.

Furthermore, the friendship between them is actually not very deep. It is normal for Axiang not to speak for her. After all, she will still live in the tribe in the future. Her family members are all in the tribe. It is impossible to abandon her family for her. It's human nature not to speak for her.

Shen Xiaoxiao had a smile on her face, "It's okay, I didn't blame you. What you did was right under the circumstances yesterday."

Axiang still blamed herself a little, but Shen Xiaoxiao changed the subject calmly, "I'm going to make two baskets, do you want to learn?"

"What basket?" Axiang asked in confusion. Is this something new brought out by the goddess?

"It's used to hold things." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled. "You can take it with you to pack wild fruits when you go to pick coconuts. This way you can pick more wild fruits."

Axiang's eyes lit up, "Is there really such a thing?"

"Of course, I'm going to do it now. If you want to learn, you can learn from the side." When she weaves the basket for use, the people in the tribe will definitely be very curious when they see it. There will definitely be people who want to learn, and she will also be in the tribe. If she lives here, she will naturally not refuse to teach them, so the early education and evening education will be the same. Now that she is taught, if the people in the tribe want to learn, she can also relax.

"Yes." Axiang agreed immediately and squatted beside Shen Xiaoxiao enthusiastically, staring at her movements for a moment, for fear of missing something.

"Beat these reeds first." Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to the reeds placed aside. Axiang picked up the stick and started moving without hesitation. It was not until noon that the two of them prepared the reeds they needed.

Just when she was about to teach her, she saw Ah Xiang stood up and said loudly, "What's wrong? Ah Nai is here."

Shen Xiaoxiao looked towards the sound and saw a little girl of about six or seven years old wearing an animal skin skirt staggering towards them, and then threw herself into A Xiang's arms, her voice was a little hoarse, "Ah Milk."

Ah Xiang touched her forehead lovingly, "It's okay, Grandma is here."

After a while, the little girl looked at Shen Xiaoxiao sheepishly, "Goddess."

Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You can call me sister Xiaoxiao." The little girl shook her head. Shen Xiaoxiao did not force it, and asked Axiang if she had a cold. She heard something was wrong in the child's voice, and looked at her His face wasn't very good either.

"Well, she's had a fever for two days. The fever subsided yesterday. I just came out when she fell asleep. She came to see me when she woke up and didn't see me."

"Have you taken medicine?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked with concern. It was no joke for children to have fever.

Axiang shook her head, "The medicine the witch doctor only has is for men injured when they go hunting. You can only get over the fever by yourself."

"Same for cubs?"

"Yes." Axiang touched the little girl's hair. Fortunately, they, Azhu, survived.

Shen Xiaoxiao had thought that their conditions were poor, but she never imagined that they would be this bad. She had to survive all the illness and leave it to fate whether she would survive or not. She felt a little panicked for a while.

"Look what I'm telling you, goddess, let's make the basket you mentioned." Axiang had a smile on her face, she wanted to know what that basket looked like.

"Okay." He asked again, "What's her name?" The child looked so well-behaved, and she didn't cry or fuss even when she was sick or uncomfortable.

"Azhu."

Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Little Azhu, please hurry up."

A Zhu grinned weakly at Shen Xiaoxiao, "Thank you goddess, A Zhu will be fine."

Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Be good."

Axiang put Azhu aside and followed Shen Xiaoxiao to learn how to weave baskets.

At first, use three strands to press the middle end with your feet, then add two strands one by one, press one by one, and braid to a certain width, then fold the reed upwards to make a corner, then continue braiding, and then add the reed inside. Fold out the four corners and then knit them. Press two and pick one, or press one and pick one. Gradually, you will no longer add reeds to it. Just braid to the required height and then thread the edges.

She had never learned to weave baskets with reeds before. She learned to use straw to weave baskets, hats, and mats from an old man in a place... Straw weaving was popular in that place, and the mats they used to sleep on were all made of straw. Bags, mats, and fans can all be woven from straw. Everything can be woven.

She was shocked when she saw it. She didn't expect that there would be so many people who knew this craft. Especially when the market was good, almost every household would weave some small baskets or similar small storage baskets for sale. .

At that time, she found a family to dry and pound the grass with them, but now it is convenient for them to dry the grass on the road and let the passing cars run over it, which saves a lot of energy when pounding the grass.

And they will dye the grass into other colors, weave it into various patterns or have words on it.

Weaving with reeds is not as convenient as using straw, but it can still be used. When she comes back from cutting the canes, she will use the canes to make some baskets. Then she will be able to bring more things, and she is not afraid of picking persimmons with Xiao Yan. Can't bring it back.

A Xiang stumbled a bit at the beginning of the weaving, but she quickly mastered it. Her fingers quickly shuttled back and forth on the reeds, and soon she had a prototype. Shen Xiaoxiao did not hesitate to praise her. After all, she had learned it for a long time. Fortunately, they don't think she's stupid and will teach her patiently.

"Grandma, you look good." Little Azhu clapped her hands.

"Little Azhu, do you want to learn?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked warmly.

"Think." A Zhu said loudly.

"Then little A-Zhu needs to take good care of his health. Then my sister will teach you, okay?"

"Okay." A Zhu said in a sweet voice, with a nasal sound in his voice.
