"Then will you return to your tribe?" Yu asked.
Hua shook her head, with a bit of confusion in her eyes, "Let's see if Leader Lin can find my tribe. If he can find it, I will go back; if he can't find it, I will stay in the Shangyuan tribe."
"Hua, don't be afraid, it's good to stay in our tribe; at least we can have enough to eat, and there are warriors to protect us. We just need to give birth to children for them, raise them well, and be responsible for collecting." Fish took her hand, He motioned for her to eat the fruit, "Eat quickly, this is what we ate this morning; Leader Lin and the others are out hunting with their people, and they won't be able to come back until the sun sets. There should be news about your tribe by then."
Minghua could only thank them in her heart, ate a wild fruit, and then taught them the secret of sleeping on the grass rope. At first, none of them could master it. By the time they were about to go out to collect, two of them could barely sit down. Not swaying on the rope is an improvement.
"The fish, grass, and flowers are gone, and it's time to collect them; it's too hot when the sun comes out, so it will be very slow to collect them. While it's still cool, collect more." The old grandma shouted loudly on the dam ,"hurry up!"
Fish, Grass, and Flowers pulled Hua and called a group of women to go home and get their things. When they came out with fur backpacks on their backs, Hua saw clearly that the fur bags they were wearing were the most primitive bags.
Two pieces of leather are pulled together and sewn together, and the two shoulder straps are slung over the shoulders; the space of the backpack is not very large, but the shape is very large. The leather used for the backpack takes up half of the space of the bag.
"Do you all use this kind of outfit to collect?"
Cao Cao nodded seriously and took it for granted, "Well, we all use this kind of bag, and we can carry a lot of things back and forth. This is what Luo Amu made. We can carry a bag on our back, and we can still carry it in our arms. It's a lot easier to carry some. Before we didn't have backpacks, we had to move back one trip at a time, which meant we had to walk a lot more."
She didn't know how many roads there were; there were no measuring tools or numbers at this time, so she just had to listen.
"I don't have a backpack, so I may not be able to collect things like you." She had never done this, so she could only look around while walking; it would be great if she could come across rattan suitable for weaving.
Thinking so, after they set out together, they did not encounter such rattan; most rattan was soft but not tough, and could not be used to make baskets to hold things.
A group of women walked into the woods. They seemed to be familiar with this territory; they were familiar with the roads and each looked for edible wild vegetables, fruits, dry firewood, and weeds. They were all clearly distinct, but Hua felt that she was redundant.
"Hua, go help the fish pick fruits. There are a lot of fruits on that tree." Mother Su arranged the crowd and strode up.
Hua nodded obediently and responded; she walked to the fish and picked the fruits from the tree together. These fruits had no spiritual energy. After all, the place where the human race lived was not a place with good spiritual energy. All the good places are occupied by cultivating beings, so the place left for human beings to survive is naturally not that good.
The fruit looked like a plum, but it wasn't. When I ate one and tasted it, I found that it tasted like lychee, which was completely different from plums.
"Fish, the fruits in the forest are so sweet! They taste good too."
The fish looked back at her with a smile and asked curiously: "Have you never eaten such a fruit? We have a lot of them here. If you walk further ahead, you will find them in flakes. Unfortunately, this kind of fruit doesn't last long. It spoils in two days and attracts all the bugs. So we eat as much as we can, and we don’t keep the ones we can’t eat at home.”
"Why don't you dry it and keep it?" he asked confusedly.
"Sun-drying is OK, but the taste is very bad. After drying, it will be dry and astringent. Even when the snow season comes and there is no food, I don't want to eat it. Gradually, they are discarded. It's okay to eat them on weekdays. OK."
Hua turned her eyes and looked at other fruits; there were so many ordinary fruits in the ancient world! People from the Shangyuan tribe will also choose a place to survive. It is surrounded by forests and has many wild animals. There are also wild vegetables and wild fruits to eat. It's a pity that they don't know how to preserve food better, and there is no salt at this time. It is not impossible to cut this fruit into slices and do not need to dry it in the sun. It is not impossible to make a drying stove and dry it. .
"I know a way to make the fruit less unpalatable. Fish, let's pick some more and take them back; shall we try making them?"
Yu glanced at her uncertainly for several times before nodding with difficulty, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Hua was a member of an outsider tribe, and she was someone who should be guarded against. But she was so miserable that no one took precautions and even gained a lot of sympathy. It's a pity to lose these fruits. They don't taste good when dried. Let Hua try them. If they can be eaten, the tribe will have another edible food during the snow season.
Yu took Hua to deliver the fruits back three times. There were three big bags in total, plus the fruits they carried back, which was quite a lot. After three trips, they didn't go out again. Hua took Yu to build an oven, which didn't need to be complicated. The upper part is closed and made into a circle, and the inside is free to contain the things that need to be baked; the lower part is made into a stove, and the firewood can be inserted to start baking, which is very convenient.
They just needed a lot of firewood. After setting up the oven, they went to pick up a lot of firewood. They also picked up all the branches, big and small, that they could pick up, including dry leaves.
Leader Lin led the warriors back to the tribe in the evening and saw the strange stove built by Hua and Yu. Although he didn't know what it was, Leader Lin only asked Yu a few words and ignored it.
A group of people each barbecued and ate wild fruits. Leader Lin brought two portions of food and called a warrior to come to Hua's side.
"Hua, here it is." He handed the roasted meat in his hand to her.
Hua didn't take it. After tasting the taste, she didn't want to eat anymore. "Chief Lin, eat it. I can't eat it anymore. I ate a lot of fruits today. I wonder if the people from my tribe who Chief Lin sent out have found out?" "
"No." Leader Lin shook his head, but the eyes of the person following Leader Lin flickered.
Hua saw it and said to the person behind him: "Is this the warrior who went to find my tribe's people?"
"Yes, my name is Mang."
"Is there any news about my tribe members?"
Mang was not good at lying, and he didn't dare to look at her when asked. Seeing this, Hua just asked, "Leader Lin, this warrior must have discovered traces of my tribe, right? Why did you lie to me?"
"Hua, it's not that the leader wants to lie to you, but I don't know if the group of people I saw today are your tribe; they all died in a killing, and no one survived. Because I don't know what tribe they are from. , so Leader Lin doesn’t want to tell you." Mang explained eagerly.
After hearing this, Hua looked at the two of them and nodded clearly, "I know, thank you for your hard work; I wonder what characteristics they have?"
"They are very thin and have no special characteristics." Mang said.
Hua's eyes were blank, making Leader Lin and Mang panic. After a long time, she slowly said: "That must be it. My tribe has been migrating for a long time, and the people in my tribe are very thin."
