Over the past few days, the Mandarin-speaking atmosphere in the tribe has improved several levels.
Although it was not neat, it was at least a good start. The simple words Teng She and the others gradually abandoned the original description method.
"God's Envoy! God's Envoy!"
"The snow... stopped, hehe!"
Seeing Xue stop, Shi Meng said excitedly.
The first snow of winter lasted for four days today. Although it was not heavy, it lasted long enough to accumulate more than ten centimeters thick on the ground in a few days.
Seeing that the hunting team started to pick up weapons again, Song Xuan finally understood why Shi Meng seemed so happy.
In previous years, the temperature has dropped slowly, and the snow has come gradually little by little. It is rare to see a snow that turns the sky and the earth white.
Teng Snake was almost caught off guard by the snow. If he hadn't moved quickly, the last few houses would have been halfway built and he would have been unable to proceed.
People are like this, and animals are even more like this. Even though the weather was cold before, they could still come out to look for something to eat. Now it's covered in heavy snow, and the beasts without enough food can only come out and risk their lives to find food.
Walking in the snow is naturally not that easy, and it is very easy to leave footprints. This is also a good opportunity for hunting. Although the weather is cold, the chance of successful hunting will be much higher.
Although there is enough food this year, the hunting team obviously does not want to give up this opportunity, and the weather is cold now, but it is far from being unable to go out. Taking advantage of this time to bring back some fresh meat can also improve the food.
Shi Meng and the others are all mature hunters, and there is no shortage of food in the tribe now, so Song Xuan believes in their ability and will definitely not take huge risks for food.
However, the necessary protection must be done well. Although Shi Meng said that he was around the tribe, no one knew when the next snow would come. If he could not rush back to the tribe by then, it would be dangerous outside.
Therefore, keeping warm is definitely the most important thing. Everyone wears two layers of animal skins, and their feet are also covered with animal skin shoes. Although they are not exquisite enough, the thermal insulation effect is excellent. These are high-grade furs. Song Xuan looked at them If I were in my current body before time travel, I would probably have to spend the rest of my life in prison.
Looking at the series of footprints on the snow, Song Xuan even had the urge to follow him out, but he could only think about it. Not to mention that the people in the tribe would not agree, it would be unreasonable for him to go out hunting in such a cold weather. It's really too difficult.
This is not as enjoyable as teaching in the tribe by roasting fire.
Speaking of classes, after the snow stopped, the children in the tribe also started to have fun. Children don't have so many worries after all. In the past, they didn't have enough to eat in winter. Even if they wanted to go out to play, they had to see if they had the strength.
Now I have three meals a day. Although most of them are soupy and watery, it is not difficult to fill my stomach. I have to sit in the room and read all day long, which is also a waste of energy.
Now that the snow has stopped, everyone is having fun. No one needs to teach them, they all started to make snowballs and start a fight.
However, Song Xuan did not see Shipi among the people having a snowball fight. Shipi and the others were considered the most naughty. Although they were quick at reading, they could never remember how to write, and they were often beaten for this matter. Ordinarily, this was the case. The occasion was his favorite, and Song Xuan felt a little strange when he couldn't see it at this time.
Instructing Shi Shi, who was already able to move, to watch the group of children, Song Xuan returned to the main room, only to see Shi Pi and the others squatting in the corner, not knowing what they were doing.
Approaching gently, Song Xuan saw that they had gotten the fruit from nowhere, and they had already smashed the fruit.
They had just had breakfast a while ago, and several people had eaten in the morning. Normally, the tribe would not run out of food for them. When they were hungry, they would also have dried meat as snacks. No matter how hungry they were, they would not have to buy wild fruits. Broken it.
Just when Song Xuan was confused, Shipi had already seen Song Xuan who was gradually approaching. His eyes were evasive and he stammered:
"God...God's envoy..."
There was a loud sound, and several children stood up quickly. Their movements were inexplicably consistent, and their hands were clasped behind their backs.
Seeing the timid appearance of several people, Song Xuan was not angry at all, and asked curiously:
"This is what you are doing?"
Seeing that Song Xuan was not angry because he stole the fruit, Shipi explained.
It turned out that the few people saw that the snow outside was very thick and there were birds looking for food around them, so they started to hunt birds. Naturally, they had done this kind of thing before.
But in the past, most of them were bones or some inedible things. Now that the conditions in the tribe have improved, the children have become more active. They encouraged each other, and finally gritted their teeth and stamped their feet while no one was paying attention. , secretly stole a wild fruit from the warehouse.
These are all saved from before. In this season, there is not much left outside. There are not many wild fruits left in the tribe that can withstand storage. Although the taste is not very sweet, they eat too much meat. , some vegetarians can always adjust it.
However, because the quantity was relatively small, it only took a few days to share a little bit. What Shipi had in hand was enough for two or three people.
I originally thought that if I gained something, I wouldn't be scolded, but unfortunately, I was caught by Song Xuan before I took any formal action.
Song Xuan didn't care about this little fruit, but was a little curious about how they were going to catch the birdie. However, there was still enough criticism, and this kind of thing could not be tolerated.
"How are you going to catch birdies?"
After some education, Song Xuan asked out his confusion.
Song Xuan also knew that winter was a good time to catch birds. He spread some millet on the snow and put a basket on it. When the birds came in, he pulled down the wooden stick supporting the basket. The less lucky birds were caught.
However, here in Tengshe, there is nothing except snow. Even if the basket can be replaced by a pottery pot, a few kids would not dare to fiddle with it. After all, pottery is almost equal to food, and stealing is comparable in nature. Stealing a piece of fruit is much more serious.
Seeing that the envoy was curious about his method of catching birds, Shipi gently took out an animal skin rope from his arms, and saw a small piece of animal skin in the middle of the animal skin rope.
?
Song Xuan was confused when he saw this thing. He thought it was a bow and arrow or something. The bows and arrows in the tribe were too weak. Song Xuan even had a little fantasy in his heart. Did these children come up with an upgrade? Edition, now it seems that I paid it by mistake.
Seeing Song Xuan's confused look, Shipi quickly explained:
"Angel, put the stone here and throw it out!"
Shipi's language talent was quite good, and Song Xuan could basically understand what he said now, but understanding was one thing, and understanding how to use the animal skin rope was another thing.
