Chapter 7 The Water-Scarce Tribes
Evening.
The chiefs distributed food to the tribesmen.
Food is distributed here every day before dinner, and there is a large pit in the open field, and the pit is surrounded by stones half a meter high, and the food is in it.
Everyone lined up in an orderly manner, and the chief was responsible for the distribution, and Ye Xiao lined up and also got the food, because of the change of his identity, he received more than a dozen fist-sized potatoes, two white fruits, and a large strip of meat, perhaps deliberately by the chief, this large strip of meat is the fattest and fragrant meat strip on the stomach, there are no bones at all, and what is more precious is that he also received a bag of water.
The water bag is made of the stomach pouch of a beast, and there is a straw rope at the opening, which must be tied after drinking water.
Opening the water bag, Ye Xiao couldn't wait to take a sip.
The clear and clean water flows down the throat, bringing long-lost coolness and refreshment.
Not daring to drink more, Ye Xiao tied the water bag and put it in front of him, and put all the food in his arms at his feet.
"Ye Xiao, I'll help you!" a dull voice sounded behind him.
I saw Cangyue striding over, picking up all the food that Ye Xiao had just put on the ground, and stuffing it into his arms without saying anything: "It's hard to take so much food, I'll give you a bag of animal skins in a while, and I'll take it in the future." ”
Ye Xiao looked at him in surprise.
Feeling Ye Xiao's gaze, Cang Yue was a little embarrassed, and was deflated for a long time: "What happened just now, I'm sorry." ”
So I'm here to apologize? It's just that Cangyue originally had a loud voice, and when she twisted it, Ye Xiao listened to it weirdly.
Ye Xiao shook his head: "It's okay, it's normal for you to do that." ”
This time it was Cangyue's turn to be surprised, he was ready to face Ye Xiao's indifference and hostility, but he didn't expect Ye Xiao's reaction to be like this, and he could feel that Ye Xiao's words were sincere, and he really felt that his reaction was normal.
peeked at the pinch mark on Ye Xiao's neck, and it has not disappeared yet, which shows that he was very hard at that time.
Ye Xiao didn't mind at all, which made him feel even more guilty and blamed himself, it was really undeserved that such a good person still doubted him.
"Ye Xiao, let's fire together. Thinking of this, Cangyue proposed.
Ye Xiao nodded, he didn't care about this.
Seeing that Ye Xiao agreed, Cang Yue happily pulled him and went to a bonfire.
There were five or six people around the campfire, and the axes and blades were all here.
When they saw Ye Xiao, everyone showed welcoming eyes.
Ye Xiao smiled and nodded: "Thank you." ”
"What do you mean by thank you? " Feng said unhappily, pulling Ye Xiao to sit next to him.
"Feng, you usually ask me to sit next to you, and you forget me when you have Ye Xiao. As soon as the axe cut the meat, he was also very happy to see Ye Xiao, and came over and sat on the other side of Ye Xiao, pretending to be angry.
Feng: "Hey, just cool off."
There are many bonfires in the open space of the tribe, and groups of people are roasting meat on the fire to eat and chat, and the atmosphere is very good.
"You and Ye Xiao can compare, play eggs, go to you!" Feng pouted and said.
The axe glared at him, and he was also very happy when Ye Xiao arrived, so he sat on the other side of Ye Xiao: "I can't compare with Ye Xiao, you can compare?"
The two of them lost each other across the leaf owl, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"Let's bake potatoes. Ye Xiao interrupted the two.
"Can potatoes still be baked?" the crowd looked at suspiciously.
"Of course!" Ye Xiao smiled, then picked up a wooden stick, dug a small pit under the bonfire, and buried a few potatoes in it.
And what he did made everyone stunned, wasn't it baked potatoes?
Ye Xiao: "Don't worry, the potatoes will be slowly cooked." ”
Then he had the axe cut the potatoes into slices, threaded them with branches, and roasted them on the campfire.
Ye Xiao baked potatoes, axe roasted meat, and after a while, a smell of meat permeated.
Everyone had been hungry for too long, and now their eyes glowed green when they smelled the fragrance, staring at the roasted meat in the axe's hand.
At this time, he was snatched by Feng, he swallowed his saliva, but handed it to Ye Xiao: "Ye Xiao, give it to you!"
"Give it to me?" Ye Xiao suddenly felt that this was a good person, and took the meat and took a bite.
The mouth is full of oil, the crispy is moderate, the taste is extraordinarily fragrant, and everything is perfect.
"Woo~ What kind of meat is this, it's so fragrant!" Ye Xiao said inarticulately.
Feng: "It's the longhorned wild boar you hunted today." ”
As soon as Ye Xiao took a bite, he saw other people salivating at the barbecue in his hand, which made him feel a sense of crisis, stopped talking, and buried himself in eating.
Well~ worthy of the name of prehistoric wild boar, this taste is simply amazing, two words, delicious! Swallow it one bite at a time, and the stomach becomes warm and dry.
After devouring half of it like this, his stomach was not so hungry, and the consciousness of health preservation began to emerge, and Ye Xiao's eating speed slowed down.
At this time, the axe, who had been staring, couldn't help it, his throat squirmed fiercely, and he said with a shy face: "Can you give me a bite." ”
As soon as the axe finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head by Cang Yue: "What to eat, let Ye Xiao eat first, put up with it for me, and you are not allowed to rob him." ”
Axe smirk.
Ye Xiao licked the oil stains on his lips, turned his head and smiled at the axe, in the expectant eyes of the axe, but saw that in the next second, Ye Xiao lowered his head and tore off a mouthful of meat, and chewed it again.
The axe was stunned and angry.
Ye Xiao ate a large piece of barbecue meat in three times and five by two, and he couldn't get enough of it, he didn't feel like it, and he wanted to eat something.
Looking at the roaring bonfire, the potatoes should be almost there.
Then he roasted the skewered potatoes a few more times, took a slice and took a bite lightly.
"Click~"
It is extremely crisp and has an extremely aromatic aroma in the mouth, which is different from that of barbecue, but completely comparable to the aroma.
After tasting it, Ye Xiao distributed a few skewers of baked potato slices in his hand to a few people around him.
The axe was taken first, regardless of the hot mouth, and the potato slices were put into his mouth: "Hiss~ It's so hot, it's so delicious!"
"Eat it too. Seeing that the others didn't move, Ye Xiao said.
"Oh, oh. "Others ate it, and they all praised the taste of baked potatoes.
Soon, the smell of baked potatoes filled the tribe, and everyone sliced the potatoes and roasted them on the branches, laughing and laughing.
When they had almost eaten, Ye Xiao dug out the potatoes that had been buried in the soil and threw them to an axe.
The potatoes were tossed upside down in the left and right hands of the axe, because they were too hot, but the hunger made him take a bite of it.
"Woo woo~~ It's hot, it's hot, it's hotter than potato chips, but it's even better than potato chips, it's noodle, sweet, it's so delicious!"
Ye Xiao kept one for himself, and the remaining ten or so were distributed to the people around him.
He ate a piece of meat from everyone just now, and he wasn't so stingy, and besides, he was too full to eat that much.
The others took the baked potatoes and thanked them one after another, and then they all took a bite of it, and Ye Xiao, who looked at it, supported his forehead: "That..... Cooked potatoes should be peeled and eaten. ”
As he spoke, Ye Xiao peeled off the skin, revealing the burnt potatoes inside, which looked rustling and doughy, and took a bite of it, revealing an expression of enjoyment.
Sweet as sweet potatoes, prehistoric potatoes are surprisingly delicious.
After eating the barbecue, the potatoes were not so eager, and he ate them slowly, one bite at a time, and this was when he caught a glimpse of a little girl pacing over.
"Are you...... Xiaoman?" Ye Xiao thought back and stood up to look at the little girl.
The little girl was very thin and weak, with a ponytail, and when she saw Ye Xiao standing up, she suddenly said in a panic: "Maple Leaf, how did you become a disciple of Wu." ”
"Maple Leaf, isn't it Ye Xiao?" Feng glanced at her and said.
"Ye Xiao is the name that the witch changed for me. Ye Xiao said casually, now he doesn't bother with the name issue anymore, all the problems just need to be pushed to that witch.
"Oooh..... Ye Xiao, thank you for saving me, without you I might have been eaten one day. ”
As she spoke, the little girl who was famous as Xiaoman looked sad, and her eyes were red: "Now there are only two of us left in the Ye tribe, we have to live well." ”
Ye Xiao was silent, and he didn't know what would happen to the people who fell into the wolf tribe, the better ones were used as a tool to give birth to children, and the worse ones were eaten like they did before?
In this damn world, Ye Xiao was no longer able to complain, and then he handed the uneaten baked potatoes in his hand to Xiao Man: "Xiao Man, eat it, stay in the Guilong tribe honestly in the future, at least you won't starve." ”
"Hmm. Xiao Man took the baked potatoes and was so hungry that Xiao Man took a big bite of them.
"I heard that this potato is easy to dig, so I'll dig some tomorrow. Xiao Man thought to himself.
"Ahem~~" A little girl in the distance choked on eating too quickly, and the little girl's Eminem next to her kept patting her back, but the little girl was still coughing so hard that she couldn't breathe.
"Just give her a saliva. Ye Xiao said to the little girl's mother.
Foods such as potatoes and sweet potatoes should not be eaten too quickly when they are baked, and they should be served with water to avoid choking, which is common knowledge that modern people know.
Unexpectedly, the tribesmen didn't care, on the one hand, they were too hungry, and on the other hand, Ye Xiao forgot to remind them.
The little girl's mother looked anxious and shook her head at him.
Cangyue explained: "Don't waste so much water, blood will do. ”
At this moment a man was carrying an animal resembling a hare, which was still alive and struggling with his legs in his hand.
Most blood clotted quickly once it was separated from the body, so the tribe generally killed and drank it to avoid wasting.
The man slashed the animal's neck with a stone knife and aimed the wound at the little girl's mouth.
The little girl held the small animal and drank the blood greedily, gurgling, several gulps of hot blood, and finally stopped coughing.
Night Raid asked Cangyue: "Is drinking water a waste?" The original owner's memories are scattered, and many common sense things are missing.
"It's too dangerous to get water, there are terrifying water monsters in the lake, and in order to reduce casualties, we usually drink blood. ”
Cang Yue didn't question why Ye Xiao asked such a common sense question, for the tribesmen, once they accepted Ye Xiao as a member of their tribe, they would never doubt him, for example, the situation of pinching his neck before would not appear again.
"Is there a lake near the tribe?"
"Well, but what's the use of that lake being close, it's too dangerous. Cangyue shook her head.
Ye Xiao frowned and pondered, if he didn't dare to take water because there were water monsters in the lake, he had to solve this problem, not to mention anything else, he couldn't stand it without water to drink.
