Chapter 9: Magical Thoughts
Mu Xiaohua came out of the forest with the appearance of being chased by a fierce beast, and Can, who had just come back from fetching water, looked at her red face and asked suspiciously: "Xiaohua, what's wrong?" ”
Mu Xiaohua subconsciously glanced back, and was relieved to see that Yu didn't follow, and the impact of the early morning was too great, okay? I'm scared of urine. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It's fine." Mu Xiaohua waved her hand, walked to the basin and splashed water on her face with her hand, she needed cold water to calm down now.
"Little Flower!"
Mu Xiaohua's face was buried in her hands, she heard Lie's warm and cheerful call, turned her head, and was about to say hello, when she saw Yu behind Lie stunned, glanced at Yu, stiffly moved her gaze to Lie's face, smiled, and waved her hand: "Lie!" Good morning! Then he looked at Yu with a slightly dry smile: "Good morning Yu!" ”
I don't know why I swept my eyes down, this impact is really a bit big, Mu Xiaohua hurriedly straightened her gaze, and secretly spit on herself, it's not that I haven't seen it, I think I haven't seen the comic book and the small video, why is this?
Yu noticed Mu Xiaohua's gaze and smiled slightly, with a hint of shame, "Good morning!" ”
Can looked at Mu Xiaohua and then at Yu, and always felt that the atmosphere between the two of them seemed a little strange this morning.
Mu Xiaohua went to make breakfast after washing, Lie and Yu sent some millet up, Mu Xiaohua boiled millet chicken porridge, and fried the duck eggs picked up yesterday one by one, it is difficult to fry in a clay pot, Mu Xiaohua misses the modern frying pan very much, and especially hopes to have a pot.
For breakfast, Mu Xiaohua was enough to eat a small bowl of porridge and an omelette, but the other four people were obviously not enough, so Mu Xiaohua roasted all the meat left over from yesterday.
For primitive people who regarded barbecue as a staple food, it was normal to eat barbecue early in the morning.
After eating the roast chicken, they all ate almost everything, and there was still a whole roast rabbit left, and Mu Xiaohua left some of the others to cut and pack them up and take them into the mountain for lunch.
Today, Can, Lie, and Yu are going to hunt in the mountains with the tribesmen, and they have to set off in a while and come back in the evening.
"Be careful when hunting in the mountains." The small wooden lace is packed with large leaves picked by Can.
But the cave was quiet, no one responded to her, Mu Xiaohua turned her head strangely, only to see the three of them looking at her fixedly, Mu Xiaohua said strangely: "What's wrong?" Do I have anything on my face? She turned her head inquiringly to look at the world on the other side of her.
Shi shook his head, "No." ”
Mu Xiaohua turned her head to look at the three of them again, "Why are you looking at me like that?" ”
Can grinned, "Xiaohua, you really look like our daughter-in-law like this." ”
"Yes, yes!" Lie strongly agreed, smiling happily, "Let's go hunting, and my daughter-in-law prepares us." ”
Mu Xiaohua twitched her eyebrows and feet in the black line, and subconsciously looked at Yu, who had a shy signature smile on his face, and seemed to agree with the two of them.
"Don't think about it, you can think of me as a sister or sister helping my brother and brother prepare." Mu Xiaohua retracted her eyes and tied the leaf bag seriously.
Last night, I learned that Chan and Lie were both twenty years old, Chan was two months older than Lie, Yu was twenty-four years old, and Shiyi was only eleven years old, except for Yu, everyone else was younger than she expected.
"I don't want you to be my sister." Lie immediately protested.
"Don't even think about me being your daughter-in-law." Mu Xiaohua glanced at him.
"Why?" Lie asked with displeasure.
"Husbands and wives need an emotional foundation." Mu Xiaohua stuffed the packaged meat into his arms, "Do you want to love each other?" ”
"In love?"
Lie, including the other three, were all confused.
"What is love?" Can looked at Mu Xiaohua with a confused expression.
Mu Xiaohua twitched the corners of her mouth, she didn't know what she was in love? Is it necessary for you to be so innocent?
"I ask you, why do you want a daughter-in-law?"
"Give birth!"
Lie and Chan replied at the same time, and the tone was reasonable.
She knew that Mu Xiaohua stroked her forehead, and her daughter-in-law was a tool for giving birth to children in their hearts, and in the tribe where the population problem was most severe, her daughter-in-law was simply the most important and indispensable tool for childbirth.
Mu Xiaohua asked unwillingly: "What do you want to do besides having children after marrying a daughter-in-law?" ”
The four of them looked at each other, reproducing offspring to increase the population of the tribe is the most important thing, Lao Mu said this, their parents also told them this, they only know that the daughter-in-law is to have children, what else can the daughter-in-law do?
"Sew us the hides." I thought about it for a while.
"Prepare food for us like you are doing now." Chanya said.
What a too young, too simple Tucson break! It's simple, Mu Xiaohua sighed speechlessly, and put his eyes on Yu's face with the last glimmer of hope, Yu hesitated for a long time, shook his head, he really didn't know what the reason for having a daughter-in-law was besides having a child.
Mu Xiaohua shook her head in disappointment, for this society, maybe their thoughts are right, but for Mu Xiaohua, she absolutely can't agree with their thoughts, how can a daughter-in-law just be a tool for giving birth to a child? Absurd!
"When you want a daughter-in-law, the reason is not just to have children, you can understand what love is."
The four of them looked at each other again, confused, and nodded thoughtfully.
Ready, the hunting trio packed their tools and set off to join the tribe's team into the mountains, and Mu Xiaohua, who stayed at home, began to get busy.
The sun slowly rose from the other side of the mountain, and it was a sunny day, Mu Xiaohua took out the pampas grass that was cut back yesterday and dried it, and the world helped.
"Sister, why is this grass dry?"
"It's better to weave straw sandals when they're dried."
In addition to being able to weave straw shoes, it can also weave baskets and futons and weave a lot of good-looking handicrafts.
As soon as the two had finished laying the grass, two women came to her at the behest of Lao Mu to ask her what she had done to protect her feet.
Mu Xiaohua pointed to her feet, "This is my way." ”
The two women looked at Mu Xiaohua's feet, looked at each other in confusion, and asked, "What are you on your feet?" ”
"Straw sandals." Mu Xiaohua replied and walked in place, "With the protection of straw sandals, you are not afraid of stones when you step on the ground, and your feet are not so easy to be injured. ”
"So amazing?" The two women looked at each other again, "So how is this done?" ”
"It's easy." Mu Xiaohua pointed to the basking grass, "That's what I made of this straw." Mu Xiaohua took off the straw sandals on her feet and handed them to them, "You can take this back and show it to Lao Mu, if you think it's okay, I'll teach you how to make it." ”
The two women went back to their lives, Mu Xiaohua went back to the cave to weave straw shoes for the world, she still had to practice the craft of weaving shoes, and the world went to continue to make the barrel that was not finished yesterday, originally Mu Xiaohua didn't let him do it, but he said that he could make Mu Xiaohua and went with him.
The two of them were busy separately, and not long after, the two women came back, along with the old man Chashan.
