After having lunch at Lie's house and making an appointment to go out together in the afternoon, Mu Xiaohua took her backpack and went home with Chan and Shi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After some rest and getting ready to go out, the sun was very strong outside, so Mu Xiaohua washed her face and applied sunscreen.
Because it is a summer vacation to go to archaeology with a group, sunscreen is a must.
Shi Zai's face was strange on the side, Mu Xiaohua finished painting herself, squeezed some more in the palm of her hand, and smeared a little on Shi Shi's face, Shi was startled, and looked at Mu Xiaohua with wide eyes.
Mu Xiaohua smiled, and said while painting him: "This is sunscreen, and it is not easy to get sunburned by the sun if you apply it, is it fragrant?" ā
Shi nodded in surprise and smiled shyly: "Fragrant." "The voice is soft and glutinous.
After Mu Xiaohua painted his face and body, Shi twisted his body to hide, and refused in a soft voice: "No need, sister!" ā
"How can you not use it?" Mu Xiaohua said with a smile: "The skin that is not covered by clothes must be painted." ā
"No need, you have to apply a lot, my sister keeps it for herself."
Mu Xiaohua paused, her heart was warm, and she couldn't help hugging the cute little boy: "Shizhen is heartwarming." ā
Can, who went out to pour water and came back to see this scene, was envious, the world was really happy, and it could be seen that Xiaohua liked him the most.
In the end, Mu Xiaohua still applied sunscreen all over the world, and then asked Can if he wanted to wear it, and Can waved his hand again and again and said: "We are all used to sunburning, there is no need to apply it, you keep it for yourself." ā
They all know that if you use a little less of these things, they will be gone.
Can made sense, Mu Xiaohua didn't insist on him painting, and the three of them were ready to go out, to call Shangyu and Lie, and the five of them started a journey to find grass.
Coming down from the mountain where she lives, a winding path stretches to the left and right sides of the river, the river is about five or six meters wide, the river is clear and does not look very deep, a group of children are playing happily in the river, frolicking, and looking at her strangely when they see Mu Xiaohua.
"Hey!" Mu Xiaohua waved hello to the children in a friendly manner, and the little ones were stunned and laughed embarrassedly and dived into the water.
Mu Xiaohua couldn't help but laugh and looked around: "There are mountains on all sides, where are we going?" ā
"What kind of grass are Xiaohua looking for?" Yu asked.
Mu Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "It should be longer, softer and tougher." ā
"I know there's a grass that meets your requirements." As soon as Mu Xiaohua finished speaking, he said actively.
"Oh? Where is it? Mu Xiaohua's eyes lit up, and it was good to have a goal.
"On the opposite side, walking all the way into the woods, there is a lake, and there is a lot of grass growing on the edge of the lake, which is very long, soft and tough."
"Oh yes." Can nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I remember, the grass by the lake is indeed like that." ā
"That's good." Mu Xiaohua clapped her hands: "Let's go!" ā
The group walked towards the bridge leading to the opposite side, it was a single-plank bridge, and Mu Xiaohua, who was standing in front of the bridge, couldn't help but sigh: "This single-plank bridge is really a single-plank bridge, how can you walk if it is round?" Why not flatten the top side? ā
"It's good to go." Lie jumped onto the bridge and walked back and forth with ease.
Mu Xiaohua looked at their bare feet and then looked at the shoes she was wearing, this kind of hiking shoes with stiff soles seemed to be difficult to control such a round single-plank bridge.
Mu Xiaohua tried to stand on the bridge, damn it! I can't stand on my feet at all, let alone leave.
Crossing a bridge has become difficult, dare you think? Mu Xiaohua was very speechless.
"We'll take you there." Chan proposed.
"Okay!" Mu Xiaohua nodded, and You Lie and Chan led one after the other and slowly crossed the bridge, not by walking but by moving, several times Lie wanted to speed up but was pulled by Mu Xiaohua hard, and the three of them almost fell into the river because of Mu Xiaohua, who lost her balance, but the bridge of five or six meters was stunned and walked out of fifty or sixty meters.
After getting off the bridge, Mu Xiaohua exhaled a breath fiercely, looked back at the single-plank bridge that made her palpitate, and said worriedly: "It's okay that it's sunny now, but it's raining, isn't it slippery?" How do you cross this bridge? ā
How to cross this round single-plank bridge when it rains, Mu Xiaohua just raised such a question, and when she came back, she had a good experience.
After crossing the bridge, there is a large field, and the field is green, according to Can's introduction, this is millet.
"Everyone's fields are here, we are the one piece, and they are the one next to them." Chan pointed to the two small fields on the far right.
"All here?" Mu Xiaohua was surprised, the fields here are divided into many pieces of different areas, but the overall area is not very large, there are one hundred and five people in the Chashan tribe, if all the fields are here, then the area of this field is too small.
"Is this field divided equally among people?" Mu Xiaohua asked.
"Hmm." Chan nodded.
"I grow my own land and my own harvest, and the harvest is all my own?"
"I plant my own land, and I have to hand over a can of harvest to Lao Mu."
Oh old man! Mu Xiaohua nodded slowly, she was the old woman who wanted to burn her! It's really angry just thinking about it.
"Lao Mu" is the highest leader in the tribe, the most identity and authority in the tribe, and the highest leaders of the Chashan tribe have always been women, collectively referred to as Lao Mu.
Of course, the title of the supreme leader of the tribe is also different, the ten tribes near the Moya Forest, except for the remaining nine of the Chashan tribe, some exist in the form of clans, the supreme leader is called the chief, and some non-clans exist with men as the supreme leader called the chief.
Because it was noon, there was no one working in the field, the five people walked through the field into a forest, and walked inward, the higher and denser the trees became, but the thorns were less and less, and under the trees grew grass, wildflowers and unknown green vines, green vines wrapped around the trunk and grew upward, a vibrant scene, the sun cast mottled points of light through the leaves, beautiful and picturesque.
Because there are more people walking, a path has come out of the forest, the five of them are chatting while walking, Mu Xiaohua is still enjoying this rare beauty, she has been to the mountains more than once for archaeology, but those mountains and forests have nothing to watch.
After walking for more than two hours, they walked to the lake that Lie said, and saw the green grass by the lake from a distance, Mu Xiaohua was surprised: "Isn't this Pucao?" ā
The two most used materials for weaving straw shoes are dried straw and cattails, there is no dry straw here but there are so many cattails and trees and flowers are very happy, and the search for what she needs also makes her more happy.
"Is this really what you're looking for?" Lie asked in surprise.
"yes!" Mu Xiaohua nodded with a smile and walked over with a quick pace.
Found the raw materials, Mu Xiaohuaxin put down more than half.
Lie, Chan and Yu began to mow the grass, using knives made of stone.
This is the stone tool of the primitive society, Mu Xiaohua sighed, it is of great archaeological value, but after thinking about it, what is the significance of her being born in a primitive society now?
"Hey!" Mu Xiaohua sighed and shook her head, looked at it for a while and began to walk around the lake, seeing that there were many fish in the lake, only fat, she couldn't help but be excited when she imagined that these fish had all become grilled fish, "Brothers, let's eat fish tonight!" ā
The three people who were mowing the grass looked at each other, and Yu said: "The fish in this lake are difficult to catch, and the water is very deep. ā
Hearing that people had drowned in this lake, Mu Xiaohua couldn't help but shudder, but for foodies, eating must not give up, "We don't have to go down to catch it, we use fishing!" ā
"Fishing? How to fish? The three of them looked surprised.
Don't even know about fishing? Okay, Mu Xiaohua said: "I have to go back and prepare well, the grass is almost cut." He looked around and asked, "What about the world?" ā
"Ahh
As soon as Mu Xiaohua finished asking, there was an exclamation from the grass by the lake in front of her.
