This is the custom of the Qingque tribe.
Yang Cheng learned about it from Mu Qing yesterday.
Wait until everyone throws the stick.
The firewood pile had already ignited a thick fire, but because there was a breeze in the early morning, and Yanhu had received orders from Yang Cheng yesterday.
Early in the morning, the totem warriors were asked to clean up the surrounding trees, so there was no need to worry about the risk of forest fires.
After the flame burned, it gradually extinguished.
As a breeze blew by, the ashes dispersed along with the ashes of vegetation and fell on the land.
This was actually the wish of the previous witch.
What he longs for is returning to the embrace of Grandmother Earth.
After bidding farewell to the previous Witch Queen, everyone dispersed one by one and went about their business.
After all, farewell is temporary and life has to move on.
The old man watches over the children, the woman repairs tools and animal skin clothing, and the totem warrior prepares to go hunting.
Yanhu walked up to Yang Cheng and said, "Wu, we are going hunting. There is not enough food and water in the tribe."
Yang Cheng nodded: "Well, go ahead!"
But after he finished speaking, the Yanhu in front of him showed no intention of moving.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng asked doubtfully: "What, Yanhu, aren't you going?"
Yan Hu shook his head and said: "Cang Shi can just go with nine totem warriors. I and some other totem warriors will stay behind to protect the witch."
Yang Cheng frowned and asked, "How much food is left in our tribe?"
Yan Hu replied: "There is still enough food for two days, but Wu, don't worry, Cang Shi and the others will definitely be able to catch more prey. It is definitely possible to keep the tribe's food for five days."
One hunt can only sustain the tribe's food for five days at most.
Yang Cheng suddenly felt dizzy.
How can this work?
The weather is fine now and you can go hunting.
If there is bad weather, such as rain, snow or hail;
Another example is an emergency situation, what should I do if the prey migrates?
What should I do if the totem warrior is injured and encounters a high-level ferocious beast?
Just enough food to last for five days is too unsafe!
Yang Cheng said: "Yanhu, I don't need your protection. I am safe in the tribe. You should go hunting with a few other totem warriors.
The food of the tribe is the most important. There are so many people in our tribe. If an accident occurs, we will never be able to sustain food for five days. "
"No, the safety of witches is the most important. Our Qingque tribe cannot lose another witch." Yanhu shook his head and said firmly.
Yang Cheng had no choice but to talk to Yanhu several times, and even used his identity as a witch to give orders, but Yanhu remained unmoved.
"well……"
Yang Cheng sighed, he never thought that primitive people would be so stubborn.
However, it is not reliable to rely solely on hunting to maintain the food supply.
Have to think of other food sources.
I felt a little thirsty as I said this, and I was busy yesterday, so I only ate a few fruits and didn't drink much water.
So, Yang Cheng turned around and said to the two followers: "Go get me some water."
The eyes of the two beast-eared girls lit up.
"Wu, I'll go."
"Wu, I'll go."
The two found out that the other party had said the same thing to them, and glared at each other with a cold snort, then ran to get water angrily at each other.
After a while.
Two beast-eared girls, each holding a stone bowl, ran to Yang Cheng in a hurry, their eyes flashing:
"Wu, you drink water."
"Witch, the water is here."
In order not to favor one thing over another, Yang Cheng had no choice but to take a stone bowl in one hand.
Then he looked inside and frowned.
I saw that the water in the two stone bowls was not clear. Instead, it was quite turbid, and rough sand and gravel could also be seen.
"Is this the water in the tribe?" Yang Cheng asked.
Yan Lin and Xing nodded and said, "Yes, Wu, this is the water in our tribe."
"You can't drink this water." Yang Cheng poured two bowls of water on the ground.
"ah?!"
Yan Lin and Xing opened their mouths wide and looked at the water falling on the ground with distress.
"Why?"
Not only Yan Lin and Xing were puzzled, but Yan Hu, who had been watching from the side, was also depressed and puzzled.
Yang Cheng explained: "The water is poisonous and there are many small bugs. They can make people sick!"
"What? Is there such a thing?"
When Yanhu heard this, he shouted loudly.
Yan Lin and Xing's faces instantly turned pale, and their big eyes were filled with mist.
"Wu, I didn't know there were bugs in the water." Yan Lin said in panic.
"If I knew there were bugs in the water, I wouldn't give it to the witch even if I killed him." Xing was also panicked.
Looking at the two beast-eared girls, they were so frightened that they almost cried.
Yang Cheng comforted him: "It's okay, haven't I drank yet?"
Yanhu was also worried.
If Wu drinks the water with bugs and something happens, their Qingque tribe will be doomed!
Fortunately, Wu didn't drink the water.
Yanhu felt relieved and glared at Yanlin and Xing fiercely, making them shrink back in fear.
"But Wu, do we all drink this water? Nothing is wrong." Yanhu suddenly thought of something again and asked.
"That's because the number of bugs is not high enough. If they accumulate to a certain level, they will cause disease."
At this point, Yang Cheng asked again: "Think about it, do you usually have sudden diarrhea, or someone suddenly falls ill, and someone foams at the mouth."
These are all symptoms caused by drinking raw water all year round.
Mineral water and beverages on Earth are all processed in factories, and even the water in tap pipes can be boiled without any problems.
However, in primitive societies, raw water in the wild has not been treated. It contains bacteria, insect eggs, and some harmful minerals. Drinking raw water for many years will definitely cause problems.
The two beast-eared ladies and Yan Hu finished listening to Yang Cheng's question.
Suddenly, his expression changed and he thought of something bad.
At this moment.
A tribesman ran over and said anxiously: "Wu, please go over and take a look. Xia suddenly fell to the ground and said she had a stomachache!"
Listen to this.
Yang Cheng stopped delaying and followed the tribe towards the cave.
Yan Hu and three others also followed Yang Cheng.
Arrived at the cave.
Then I saw a group of tribesmen gathered together. Everyone's face was anxious, but they didn't know what to do.
"Spread out, spread out, the witch is coming." The tribesmen running in front shouted.
When everyone saw Yang Cheng coming, they hurriedly made way to let Yang Cheng and others come over.
Then he saw the petite Xia rolling on the ground holding her stomach in pain, and a stone bowl overturned next to her.
Yang Cheng took a look and knew that Xia had drunk too much raw water.
He hurriedly squatted down and carefully observed Xia's condition.
Apart from being pale and holding my stomach in pain, there were no other illnesses.
Yang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. It's just that I drank too much raw water and it caused a stomachache. I just need to stop drinking raw water and rest for two days and it will be fine."
