Little Tribe's Notebook

Chapter 21 Gum Tree

20

Qin You, who finished his stroll, went to pick some vines by himself. He couldn't see clearly in the dark, so he just tore a bunch of them and brought them back to the big tent. There might be some weeds mixed in.

Tonight, Ser and Ya are guarding the door. The giant white beast is half lying down, and on the other side is the tiger Ya who has been yellow and yellow.

When Qin You went in, he didn't talk nonsense and went straight into the house.

After entering the house, Qin You got into the animal skin quilt after washing, took the prepared bone needles and animal skins, and prepared to start making shoes, but those vines might have to be dried in the sun tomorrow before weaving.

Qin You plans to sew a shoe sole cover on the bottom of the vines first. Under the shoe sole cover is hairless animal skin, which is waterproof. The animal skin Qin You picked is also thick enough.

The tribe on the upper part of the sole is made of soft animal skin, and the top and bottom are sewn together. Tomorrow, just put the vine woven insole in it.

Lear watched Qin You busy around, and curiously came over and asked, "You, what are you doing?"

Qin You was a little flustered all of a sudden, and suddenly thought that no one wears shoes in this world of beasts, if they wear them by themselves, what will they think of me?

"It's nothing, I wanted to make something, but I made a mistake..." Qin You replied after thinking about it.Then crumpled the animal skin in his hand and stuffed it back into the bag.

"Yeah." Lear nodded without doubt, turned around and continued chatting with Xi.

Qin You let out a sigh in his heart, but fortunately he didn't say it out, in fact, his feet were not unbearable, it was just that he was not satisfied with the appearance, Qin You sighed, and decided to put on shoes slowly.

Early the next morning, it was another busy day of harvesting. Qin You collected a lot of small fish. In the afternoon, they were all fried into small dried fish and preserved. The big fish were marinated into salted fish. Tomatoes are also made into tomato sauce, and the shrimp herb is dried.It is soft but it opens as soon as it is soaked, much like seaweed.

Qin You was a little pleasantly surprised by the way the shrimp-flavored herb dried in the sun. It was curled up, which reduced a lot of space, and became very light, making it easy to carry.

Slowly putting the existing food into the animal skin bag that was already empty, Qin You thought for a while, and felt that some staple food was still missing, and the potatoes in the west belt were almost finished, so he had to look for staple food.

Qin You called to the west, and the two of them took their tools and walked towards the nearby hillside again. Today they went to a hillside to the east, and there were some towering trees on it, and the branches and branches had already grown overgrown. A lot of broad leaves, a pair of green and vibrant appearance.

It's just that although the leaves grow well, there are not many fruits. Qin You and Xi walked around and saw that most of them were small wild fruits in the bushes, and the taste was just ordinary fruity fragrance.

In the end, he went around and couldn't find any edible staple food, so Qin Youhe had no choice but to dig up potatoes honestly.

Potatoes are enough to fill your stomach, but they are too heavy to carry, and it is inconvenient to pick them up. Qin You digs a little less. In short, Qin You thinks that the distribution of potatoes should be quite wide. Just dig a little bit when the time comes. up.

Xi had no objection, after all, the potatoes were really heavy, and he really didn't want Ya to carry something too heavy.

He returned to the big tent with a small half bag of potatoes, but there was no one there, so he probably went to collect them.

Qin You and Xi sat next to Lier, took a small package of dried fish and ate it.

"What's the matter? Didn't find anything to eat?" Lear was sorting out the food, and when he saw Qin You and Xi coming in, he asked with a smile.

"That's right, in the early spring, many fruits haven't grown yet." Xi chewed the dried fish and rubbed his sore feet with his hands.

"It's okay, the place where the tribe stays next time may not be full of food." Lille comforted.

Xi and Qin You nodded in agreement.

Just chatting while eating like this, Qin You felt that the time passed quickly.It's almost time to rest.

After lunch at noon, Qin You and Xi agreed that they didn't want to go collecting, but wanted to take a nap and be lazy.The two people who reached an agreement dragged Lear happily and fell asleep.

It's okay if you don't take a nap this afternoon, as soon as you take a nap, you sleep until the sun is slightly slanted. Qin You looked at the sun and estimated that in two hours, he would have to prepare dinner again.

Turning his head to look at Lier who had woken up early and Xi who was still sleeping with his head covered, Qin You stretched his waist and sighed comfortably. The afternoon nap is really comfortable.

Lear looked funny, and asked aloud, "Are you awake?"

Seeing Qin You nodding with a smile, Lier continued: "Then accompany me to the nearby forest, I'm worried." As he spoke, Lier propped himself up on crutches, holding a few animal belts in his hand son.

Qin You asked curiously: "What's the matter? Do you want to pick something?"

"Well, I want to make this crutch more comfortable, look at the burrs." Lear said after getting out of the tent and fell asleep.

Qin You was a little embarrassed and smiled: "It's all because Se's work is too rough."

"It's okay, I'm already very happy with this. Come with me to find the gum tree." Lear said as he walked.

"Well," Qin You responded, but still asked curiously, "But what is a gum tree?"

"I was worried that you didn't know, so I went out to find it myself. I cut the bark of the gum tree, and a very viscous liquid would flow out of it. I put this liquid on the crutches. When it dries, the crutches will be fine." It will be much smoother, but it is also very sticky, so you have to be careful not to stick anything on it when you apply it, so as not to get it off." Lear said.

Qin You nodded, it turned out to be glue.

Guessing that the gum tree was a bit difficult to find, Qin You saw that Lear was struggling, so he asked him to hold a cane and carried him on his back.

Lear was a little embarrassed, "Forget it, I'm not light. Besides, it will be tiring."

Qin You shook his head, looking at Lear's thin body, he was quite confident that he could move him behind his back. "It's okay, come up quickly, it's going down, the sun has to go down."

Lear hesitated for a while, but climbed up anyway.

Qin You and Leer walked into the bushes for a while, and finally heard Lear's excited voice: "You, there! Those few gray trees."

Hearing this, Qin You looked up, and there were a few gray bark trees not far away, tall and straight, with few branches and thick branches.

After walking a few steps to the bottom of the tree, Qin You put Lille down, and Lille took out the animal skin bag he brought, took out a shell knife and a bamboo tube, and scratched a line on the trunk, you can see some pale Yellow viscous liquid flowed out, Lear put it into the bamboo tube, and then hurriedly wiped it on the crutch.

Seeing Lille wiping his crutches in a calm manner, Qin You knelt down and looked at it carefully. If it wasn't for the liquid that would be easily wiped off, he would have taken a bamboo tube back with him.

Lear wiped it quickly, but not very carefully. After all, the liquid dries too quickly. After roughly smearing, the liquid is almost dry, and it is attached to the crutches brightly.It looks much smoother and has a faint fruity fragrance.

Lille held up his crutches and looked at it in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go home."

Qin You nodded, and it was a little funny to see Lear's satisfied face.

Back to the tribe, it was getting late.Qin You didn't delay any longer and started cooking dinner.

Qin You was a little surprised looking at the messy food on the ground, because he saw a few white eggs again.

Se on the side secretly looked at Qin You's surprised expression, feeling a little satisfied, thinking that he would have to catch a few eggs every day in the future.

But no matter whether you are surprised or not, eating is the most important thing. Qin You smashed those fresh eggs and put them into diced lean meat. Shredded Shrimp Herbs.

Pour the egg liquid into the hot and smoking pot, Qin You decided to make scrambled eggs with meat.

The aroma of eggs gradually wafted out, mixed with the fresh aroma of shrimp-flavored grass.

Stir fry for a while, out of the pan.

Then Qin You fried another pot of crab roe fruit. The fried crab roe fruit was unexpectedly delicious. The outside was crispy and browned, but the inside was wrapped in the most elastic fish meat, which was full of elasticity when chewing. It was a strong smell of crab roe, and the umami taste of the fish meat and the crab roe inside all tempted Qin You to eat a lot.Looking at a plate of fried, crispy and golden crab roe, Qin You spread some tomato sauce on it. The sweet and sour taste made people's index fingers move.

In addition, Qin You made a stir-fried shredded pork with onions. The Guji meat was still quite fat and thin, and it was soft and melted in the mouth.

Finally, after steaming a few potatoes, I called everyone to start eating together.

Meat scrambled eggs are unexpectedly the most popular. The taste of scrambled eggs is very unique. The taste of the eggs is soft, and the meat is wrapped in them, which tastes chewy. The few slices of shrimp that were added later Herbs are also freshened a lot.

As usual, dinner was settled like a storm. After eating, I accompanied Lil and Xi to walk around the river to digest food, and then returned to the tent.

Probably because of the start of migration tomorrow, the orcs and sub-orcs went to bed early.

Qin You was also a little tired, and after chatting with Xi and Lier for a while, he fell asleep with difficulty concealing his drowsiness.

However, Qin You didn't sleep very soundly, and in the middle of the night, Qin You suddenly heard a few groaning sounds, which were quite painful.

Qin You, who was in a daze, didn't hear clearly at first, but later - there was a quick and painful slap, Qin You sat up all of a sudden, looked at Se who was clutching his back shoulder, and asked worriedly: "Ser, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing that Se lowered his head and did not speak, Qin You sat closer and looked at Se's back. The light was very dim, and he could barely see two weird slight bumps on Se's back. Qin You thought it was I guess it swelled up when I bumped into it during the day, and now it hurts a lot at night.

Qin You felt distressed and washed a piece of animal skin. The cold animal skin was applied on Se's back. Se seemed to feel better, and her breathing gradually became stable. She slowly tilted her head and leaned on Qin You's shoulder. went to sleep.

Qin You helplessly laid Se down again, helped him cover the animal skin quilt, observed that there was no movement, and then slowly fell asleep.
