Zhu Yuanyuan didn't know that someone was talking about her behind her back. After teaching her how to make a small wooden boat for half a month, she finally felt free. So she decided to take a day off and take her grandma and grandma on a spring outing.
The so-called spring outing takes place in a familiar small forest outside the valley. It just doesn't take any medicine. It's just about eating, drinking, having fun, and relaxing.
If you go out alone, you don't need to make preparations, and everything is available in the space. But this time with three elders, you have to cook something delicious at home, and use a large animal skin as a picnic mat.
We don’t have many potatoes and sweet potatoes at home, so we take a few of each to make French fries. We also take two pieces of each meat, cut it, marinate it, skewer it with bamboo skewers, and make skewers during the break. As for the fruit...
"We don't have any at home. We'll pick them up later," Zhu Xiaofen couldn't help but urge, "Let's go quickly. It's almost noon. Why don't we just go for a walk in the woods or have a spring outing?"
Grandma Zhu smiled and said, "There's nothing to do today. If Zaizai likes to play, let her go."
"But she was too lazy," Zhu Xiaofen frowned to the point of knotting her brows.
"Underage cubs are noisy, just get used to it," Zhu A'nai said cheerfully, without the slightest hint of impatience.
Maybe it's because I'm older and have a much calmer mind, and I think it's quite interesting that my granddaughter is like this.
When Zhu Yuanyuan heard this, her tail almost went up to the sky. She turned around and hugged Grandma's arm and acted coquettishly, "It's better that you be nice to me. Grandma is becoming more and more fierce every day."
"Same for you, girl," Grandma Zhu poked someone's forehead affectionately with her finger, "Who in the clan doesn't know that your parents love you the most."
"It's good to be fine, but it doesn't stop her from being fierce~" Zhu Yuanyuan defended.
Grandma Zhu glared, "Don't talk nonsense, just grab your things and leave. Don't go if you wait any longer."
"Oh, I'll pack it up right now," Zhu Yuanyuan hurriedly put the food she wanted to bring into the bamboo basket, folded the large animal skins she selected and tied them up with straw ropes, "Okay, let's go!"
At some point, Hu Yin heard the noise and came over and asked, "What should I eat for lunch?"
"The great witch is here," Grandma Zhu warmly invited, "It's boring to stay at home and eat all day long, why don't we go out for a picnic together?"
Zhu Yuanyuan's black line seemed to be what she had just said.
"Picnic?" Hu Yin raised his eyebrows and said firmly, "Yuanyuan has a new trick."
His apprentice was the most troublesome person he had ever seen. From time to time, he would cause trouble. Fortunately, the results were mostly good, and he only had to watch.
Zhu Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes and said, "It's not a strange thing. I just go to the woods to play, find a place with a nice view to eat and drink, and relax. Master is busy, so you don't have to go."
"I'm not busy," Hu Yin said, "It's just that you are both females, so it wouldn't be good for me to follow you."
Zhu Yuanyuan responded, "Then don't..."
"Call my old man to come with us," Grandma Zhu interrupted her granddaughter, "It's rare that you have nothing to do, so you must seize the opportunity."
Hu Yin pondered for a few seconds, "That's okay, there just happen to be fewer patients these days."
It was such a happy decision.
The original picnic trip of three people turned into five people. Zhu Yuanyuan was dumbfounded and had no choice but to follow behind the elders with an embarrassed face.
Don't ask, asking means regretting it.
It's okay to go out for a picnic with grandma and grandma and make a lot of noise, but with grandpa and master, you feel so restricted, how can you let go?
As Zhu Yuanyuan thought, this spring outing was not a complete success:
First, because two males were temporarily added, the prepared skewers were not enough to eat, and they had to go hunting temporarily, so the task fell to her, who was younger and younger;
Second, the topics discussed by Grandma and Master always revolved around the development of the tribe, with various imaginations and expectations, but unfortunately she was not interested.
She is just an ordinary person, and her biggest wish is to become a great witch. The development of the tribe is decided by the clan leader.
When the picnic was over, Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't wait to go home.
"It's a rare time to go out and play. Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Grandpa Zhu was puzzled. He hadn't finished talking yet.
They had been friends with Shitai for several months, and there was no shortage of topics to talk about between him and the great witch.
"I'm a little tired during this period and need to rest," Zhu Yuanyuan said casually.
Grandma Zhu felt distressed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you want to play, you will have plenty of time. If you have to come today, take a walk, go back and rest now."
"It's the same if we talk at night," Hu Yin said to Mr. Zhu.
Zhu Xiaofen was already packing her things. She dug a hole to bury the bones, covered the sparks that had not yet been extinguished with soil, and put the bone knife into the bamboo basket. Only the animal skins that everyone was sitting on were gathered up.
"Go back, go back," Grandpa Zhu sighed, "the time to relax is always short."
"Grandpa, don't be sad. As long as you are willing, we can hang out more often in the future," Zhu Yuanyuan solemnly promised.
She secretly calculated that when the system was transformed when she became an adult, she wouldn't have to spend so much time doing daily tasks, and would always be able to find time to take her elders out to play.
Well, the primitive world consists only of mountains and water. When we go hunting, we often eat in the wild. Spring outings and other activities are not very attractive. We still have to find some new and novel ways of entertainment.
This was something I thought of when I was hunting just now.
After the spring outing, the five of them walked back and went into the underground river to search, and found that their small wooden boat was missing.
Zhu Yuanyuan was shocked, "I marked it. Did someone admit their mistake and crossed it off or borrowed it?"
The tribesmen now use wooden boats to go back and forth, and there are still many boats parked on the shore.
"What marks did you make?" Zhu Xiaofen asked.
"I used charcoal to draw a small fragrant pig on the inside of the boat, and I specially dyed it with red fruit juice," Zhu Yuanyuan said.
In the tribe, she and Aniang are the only animals in the shape of little fragrant pigs. Everyone can guess whose family the wooden boat belongs to when they see it.
"I'll ask the person guarding the entrance today later. Your boat is not too small and the markings are conspicuous, so you should be able to find it," Hu Yin suggested.
"The question is, how do we go back?" Zhu Xiaofen said solemnly.
The water was so cold that she had no desire to swim back.
"Just borrow a boat," Hu Yin said calmly, "I'll let Yuanyuan bring the boat back later."
Zhu Xiaofen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Okay, young people are in good health anyway, so a little hardship is nothing."
Zhu Yuanyuan's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't refute in the end. She found a larger wooden boat to send several elders into the valley, but she didn't rush to return the boat. Instead, she went to the orc who was on duty to ask about the situation.
"The boat we rowed out in the morning had a pink mini pig painted on the inside of the bow. I didn't find it when I came back. Have you seen it?"
The two orcs on duty thought for a moment and shook their heads together, "I only saw you paddling out, but no one paddling back."
Zhu Yuanyuan's heart felt cold. If someone hadn't borrowed it, where would her little wooden boat be?
Although she has made several boats, she is not afraid that they will be useless, but if she loses the boats every three days, no matter how many she makes, they will not be enough.
No, she had to keep observing. If someone was really hiding in the dark and causing mischief, she would find a way to catch him.
A person can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days.
Hope it's just a misunderstanding!
