During the few days she stayed at the Feihu tribe, Zhu Yuanyuan lived in seclusion every day, staying in the cave to rest (doing daily study tasks).
Although Tongzi didn't say it, she had a vague feeling that something bad would happen next.
Such as natural disasters and man-made disasters.
Thinking of her flooded home, Zhu Yuanyuan was more inclined to natural disasters.
As the saying goes, there will be a severe drought after a flood. If there is a drought, the red soil will be thousands of miles away and there will be no water to drink. They will have to move their entire family.
As for where to move, that's not a problem she can worry about.
Natural disasters and such are just speculations. The most important thing now is the news brought back by the elder brother——
The floods have receded and you can go home.
The tribesmen living together couldn't help but cheer when they heard this, "Go home, go home!"
The days of living under someone else's roof are coming to an end. When they return to their own territory, they no longer have to control the hunting population.
During this period of time, it was difficult for the pigs and beasts to let go hunting. The prey they brought back every day could only ensure that they had barbecue to satisfy their hunger, and they would not starve to death. It was impossible to eat enough.
Zhu Yuanyuan's system backpack contains a lot of things, but she can't conjure up food out of thin air if she doesn't go out all day, right?
So, being able to go home is the best news.
The pig orcs who were anxious to go home quickly packed their things, greeted the familiar flying tiger orcs, and ran towards home.
The small valley where the floodwaters receded looked particularly miserable. Most of the flowers, plants and trees were staggered, and some even had their roots exposed. Only a few thick pine trees were still standing, and the ground was also full of pits.
Zhu Shan's face was solemn, "Although the water has receded, the ground is not dry yet. It is impossible to walk. How about waiting for a few more days?"
"You can still walk," a certain tribesman chuckled, "I'm not even afraid of stepping in mud puddles, let alone walking on mud roads."
As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed, "That's right, pig orcs are not afraid of getting dirty or tired. They will never retreat when encountering difficulties. Chief, let's go home!"
Zhu Shan's whole body was numb, and his face turned green and white. After enduring it for a long time, he finally couldn't hold back his roar, "Shut up!"
The air suddenly became quiet, and everyone was confused. Why did the patriarch suddenly go crazy?
I must be too tired recently.
Probably seeing what the tribesmen were thinking, Zhu Shan snorted coldly and said, "We live in a cave, and the mud ladder going home is not even dry. What if we step on the air and fall? We still have to wait for the road to dry before going back. Safety."
Everyone thought about it and felt that what the patriarch said made sense, "Then don't go home yet."
Someone asked in an overly honest manner, "Should we continue to stay with the Flying Tiger Clan?"
The words were immediately opposed by most of the tribe, "No! It's hot and it's not raining. It's just two days outside. There's no need to bother other tribes."
Even if we have a good relationship, it's not comfortable to stay in someone else's house. We might as well make do with it in the woods for two days.
You can let hunting go on your own territory, and at least you can have a full meal.
The most important thing is that they came back in a hurry when they heard that the floods had receded, and now they come back and say they have to stay for two more days. Isn’t this a torment?
Everyone reached an agreement and were willing to sleep in the woods. Zhu Shan smiled happily.
"It's good that everyone can figure it out. While it's still early, the first team and the second team will go hunting with me, while the gathering team will go find some rare and wild fruits. The rest of us will find a temporary place to stay in the forest."
There are a lot of vegetation in the forest, so you have to be extra careful when lighting a fire and cooking, especially when there are many people, it is easy to cause a wildfire, so you have to spend time clearing a safe place.
Everyone responded in unison and went to work according to the division of labor.
On weekdays, Zhu Yuanyuan either studied with the great witch or went to the mountains to collect herbs. She did not join the collection team, so she became one of the remaining ones. She was busy pulling grass and cutting bushes with everyone.
If you don't have the tools handy, you can only rely on brute force. The speed of cleaning the ground is really not fast. It's no wonder that the clan leader leaves so many people to work.
He sighed secretly, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and continued to work hard.
It is said that there is strength in numbers, and this is indeed true. No matter how hard it was to clean up, everyone still finished the work before the first team and the second team came back. They were collecting dry firewood and building simple earthen stoves.
In the past, I was used to using firewood to make a shelf. It would easily slip or fall apart when grilling meat. After Zhu Yuanyuan tried to pile up the earthen stove with wet mud and dried it with firewood, she found that it worked well.
Although it is a bit crude and not as durable as the cement one, it is very convenient for roasting meat and making soup. The tribesmen gradually got used to it and can cook it quickly when needed.
While the stove was cooking, the idle Pi Zaizai squatted outside the potato field, drooling as they thought about the delicious potato stew.
A little female who was only two years old tilted her head and asked with a milky voice, "Is potato stew really better than barbecue?"
"Of course, the stewed potatoes are soft and glutinous, full of meat flavor, not as dry and hard as barbecue," replied a fat, dark man with a round head.
The two-year-old female's eyes lit up and she said loudly, "Let's dig out the potatoes!"
Pi Zaizai, "..." Don't dare.
The old patriarch is watching not far away. As long as anyone dares to dig potatoes, he will immediately rush over and beat the person's butt until it becomes swollen.
Hei Pangdun touched his little pussy and pulled the two-year-old female to stand up. "If you don't want to be beaten, leave quickly. The old patriarch is very cruel~"
The rest of the Pi Zai Zai nodded in agreement, "The old patriarch has the loudest voice and the worst temper. It's best to stay away from him to avoid getting beaten."
The voices of Pi Zaizai were not quiet, and they did not lower their voices. Everyone who was paying attention could hear them, and they all couldn't help but laugh. Only the old patriarch had a dark face and exuded low pressure.
Zhu Yuanyuan came over and teased, "Old patriarch, your power is getting stronger year by year, to the point where the kid's mood changes after hearing the news. It's amazing!"
She gave a thumbs up with both hands to show her admiration.
The old patriarch Zhu He gave someone an angry look, "Go to work quickly, don't be lazy here."
Zhu Yuanyuan muttered in a low voice, "There isn't much work now, so there's no need for me to do it."
"Why is there no work?" Zhu He glared. "The more firewood the better. How can a young man like you have the nerve to stand here with us old, weak, sick and disabled?"
"Oh~ I'm so small in my animal form, I can't even carry a few sticks of firewood," Zhu Yuanyuan covered her face and pretended to be shy, "Going to collect firewood will only cause trouble for everyone, so it's better not to go."
Zhu He said ruthlessly, "You are so strong that you can carry it in human form."
"That won't work," Zhu Yuanyuan refused, "What if my back is bruised and scarred?"
The corner of Zhu He's mouth twitched slightly, "Young man, don't be too squeamish. If you don't even know how to do menial tasks such as collecting and chopping firewood, which male can like you?"
If you want to live in this world, you have to be hardworking and know how to work. If you find a partner who is greedy for pleasure and does not like to work, your life will be very tiring.
"It's okay," Zhu Yuanyuan said nonsensically in a serious tone, "I can collect herbs and treat diseases, and I have no shortage of food. When my master returns to the Fox Clan to retire, I won't have to worry about taking his position, and I will be able to dazzle him in the future. "
Hu Yin walked over, "..." Is this young apprentice trying to usurp the throne?
