Primitive Survival of Mercenaries

"We need to talk to the patriarch first about this matter." Guoli still hesitated.

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to him." Xie Yi smiled nonchalantly, "Grandmother, I want to pick some wattle seeds today, from the bushes we used to weave baskets last time, do you know where they are? "

"It's very common, but it's the most common on the mountain to the east. What are you picking it for?"

"The wattle seeds can also be eaten."

"Can you eat it?" Guoli immediately ignored the board on the ground when she heard that it was edible, "I'll call a few people to go with you."

Now women in the clan carry thorn baskets when they go out, so that they can bring back the things they find.

Xie Yi didn't bring anything with him, he only started to weave baskets after he got to the mountain.

"Let me help you." Qing Shui saw Xie Yi weaving a basket slowly, and took the initiative to come over to help.

Thank you for nodding and give up your seat.He remembered that last time this woman named Qing Shui was fast and good at weaving baskets.

"You don't need to carry the handle when you weave it, and the weave is higher on the side." Xie Yi purposely folded a relatively long wattle, intending to weave a basket.

"Yeah." Qingshui was skillful and finished weaving it in a while, she was a little puzzled, "How do you hold this thorn basket, do you want to hold it?"

"No need." Xie Yi took out the animal leather strap that he had prepared long ago, and passed it through the knots between the thorns. Wrap a piece of hide.

"I heard Aunt Guoli call you Xie Yi, can I call you that?" Qing Shui curiously took the thorn basket and tried it on his back.

"Of course." Xie Yi couldn't ask for more.

"This is easier to use than the thorn basket, I will make up a few more later." Qing Shui said with a smile.

"Hey, it's bitter." An exclamation came from the side.

"Ah Hua, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, I heard Grandma Guo said that this thing can be eaten, so I want to taste it." Ah Hua still held the bitten vitex seeds in her hand, and she could see the small brown husks inside.

Xie Yi walked over to pick the wattle seeds, "The wattle seeds are not edible yet, please try them when I make wattle seed noodles."

"Okay!"

Today's harvest was pretty good, the baskets in his hands were full, Xie Yi asked them to help remove the outer shells of these wattle seeds, and collect the granular fruits inside.

The animal skin bag brought back by Kemu and Duolu was also full, they didn't know what Xie Yi was talking about, so they poured out the things for Xie Yi to pick.

I did find a few good things.In addition to the chili that Xie Yichen mentioned, there was also a handful of dried goji berries, a few shriveled red dates, and other messy things in it.

Xie gave the red dates to the two of them, and asked them where they picked the peppers and goji berries.

Doru still spoke slowly, "There is a large piece of pepper in the haystack by the woods where we hunted, this..."

"Goji berries!" Kemu listened anxiously and reminded.

"I found the wolfberry near the rock where we were resting." Dolu took a bite of the date, "This one was picked up on the ground."

"Brother Xie Yi, is there anything you asked me to look for this morning?" Ke Mu stared at the two things in Xie Yi's hand, looking forward to him and nodding.

"Well, this is the chili."

"Oh, great! Brother Xie, my weapon, weapon!"

"Okay, now I'll do it for you."

Xie Yi took out the saber and fangs, and polished it into a scimitar along the grain of the fangs, because considering the hardness of the material of the fangs, Xie Yi made the back of the knife a little thicker, and sharpened the blade and tip , Then he picked out a piece of wood left over from the bowl he made last time, carved it into a handle and put it on.

"No, it's all right."

Ke Mu almost snatched it, he held the machete, and wanted to shoot it like his brother did last night.

"That's not how it is used," Xie Yi corrected his posture with the knife, "I use a straight knife, which has a better piercing effect, but yours is a machete, and the chopping effect is better.

Holding the scimitar, Xie Yi explained the use of the scimitar to Ke Mu in detail, and then demonstrated it on the wooden post, successfully leaving two marks on the wooden post.

Seeing it enviously, Ke Mu took over the scimitar and practiced according to Xie Yi's technique.

Dolu turned around in a hurry, begging from time to time in his characteristic slow tone, "Kemu, let me try."

Ke Mu got impatient with his reading, handed over the scimitar, and said, "Just try it."

"What can only be tried?" As soon as Ke Tu came back, he heard Ke Mu's serious voice. "Hey, what is this?"

"Thank you brother Yi for making me the scimitar."

"Huh? Let me take a look." Ke Tu took the scimitar and looked it over, and said to Xie Yi, "Didn't you say you can't make a saber?"

"This is made of fangs. It's okay for children to play with. It's not good if you really want to hunt those rough-skinned and thick-skinned beasts. If you want, I can find another fang and I will make it for you." Xie Yi was busy While cooking, he said without looking back.

When Ketu heard that he could not hunt wild animals, he returned the scimitar to Dolu, "Forget it, I will definitely find the stone you mentioned."

Dolu's mind was flexible once in a while, and he immediately ran to Xie Yi's side to show his kindness, "Brother Xie Yi, I'll help you light the fire. Next time I find fangs, can you make me a machete?"

"Okay." Xie arranged the sliced ​​meat, wild garlic and sweet potato slices neatly, and steamed them in a clay pot.

"How is the stone mill doing?"

"It's done as you said, and it can be used tomorrow." Ketu sat on the animal hide and removed the cloth strips from the wound.

"That's good. I'll use the thorn seeds tomorrow for an interview." Xie Yi looked at his wound and frowned, "Your wound opened again today?"

"I didn't pay attention when polishing, and my left hand cracked as soon as I exerted force."

Xie Yi was helpless, even if he was alive on the tip of a knife, he would not dare to act recklessly under such primitive conditions. This guy is arrogant, he had better pray that the wound does not become infected, otherwise he will feel better when the time comes.

While slandering, he took hemostatic grass to help him change the medicine, "You'd better not move your left arm for the next two days, wait until the wound has scabbed. There are not many herbs to stop bleeding in the clan."

"En." Knowing that there is no grass to stop the bleeding at this time, Ke Tu nodded obediently.

"Okay," Xie Yi tied up the wound, and instructed the two children who were having a great time practicing knives, "Kemu, don't use too much force when you chop against the stake, and be careful to break the knife. You Go wash your hands with Doru and get ready to eat."

He brought out the steamed meat and roasted sweet potatoes, and the aroma immediately made the gluttons in the stomachs of the two children howl. After washing their hands, they rushed over, and their hands were covered with oil.

Xie Yi seized the opportunity to induce, "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious!" They all said in unison.

"Do you still want to eat tomorrow?"

"Think!" The voice was loud.

"Then the peppers and goji berries that you brought back today, you have to pick more tomorrow." Xie Yi increased his reward, "The more you bring back, the more delicious it will be."
