With her fingers apart and her little hands as a comb, Xiao Yue'er carefully combed Su Yan's hair and slowly straightened out Su Yan's black hair in her shawl.

Xiaohua planted flowers of different colors on Su Yan's head, and after inserting a few flowers, she took a few steps back and looked at Su Yan carefully, and then continued to come to Su Yan and dress him up with flowers.

The little flower and Xiaoyue sisters seem to want to work together to create a beautiful boy.

Su Yan was at the mercy of the two sisters, and her mind was already running to how to get more food.

Su Yan knew that the snake tribe implemented a communal ownership system for food, and the harvest of the hunting team and the fishing team would be gathered together and distributed when it was time to eat.

Thinking of this, an idea popped up in Su Yan's mind.

Su Yan remembers that when children get bird eggs and small wild fruits, they can be eaten as snacks by the way, and adults will not care about them.

Reasoning along this line of thought, the food obtained by minors will not be their own.

This was a problem, and Su Yan decided to give it a try, of course, before that, he needed to find a way to get food from outside the snake tribe.

Hunt?

No, there are too many dangers in the jungle, and the snake tribe has always been a dozen adult males acting together, and almost never acting alone, let alone a minor like Su Yan.

Fruit picking?

It's spring, and the fruit trees are just blooming.

There was only one fishing left.

Soon it was noon, and each of the fishing team returned with at least three fish, and at noon they would take a short break and continue to fish in the river.

At the end of the break, the adoptive mother who was sitting with Su Yan, Xiaohua, and Xiaoyue stood up with the "harpoon" placed aside, and walked towards the center of the clearing, ready to meet and set off.

Su Yan hurriedly stood up and followed behind her adoptive mother.

Seeing Su Yan's movements, Xiaohua and Xiaoyue also quickly stood up and followed behind Su Yan.

Sensing the movements of the three children, the adoptive mother stopped, turned to look at the three children, and then stretched out her palm to make a gesture for them to stop following.

Looking at the gesture of the adoptive mother, the three of them stopped, Su Yan showed a stubborn expression, and Xiaohua and Xiaoyue changed into a pitiful look.

"Go back." The adoptive mother said.

Su Yan shook his head, took a few steps forward and reached out to grab his adoptive mother's hand, holding it tightly.

Looking at Su Yan's stubborn expression, the adoptive mother hesitated for a moment and reluctantly agreed.

Although Su Yan is not her biological child, but over the years, her feelings for Su Yan are closer than her two biological daughters, every time she eats, she must let Su Yan eat first, and she will be the last to eat, she will refuse the request of her two daughters, but she will not refuse Su Yan.

In the jungle, water sources such as creeks, rivers, and lakes are always the most dangerous places, and there is no telling when wild beasts will come to drink water.

In addition, the river itself is also dangerous, not because of the vicious and dangerous amphibians such as crocodiles, but because the fish themselves are very dangerous.

Su Yan had paid attention to the fish brought back by the fishing team, and most of the fish were very ugly, and Su Yan could not use the knowledge of his previous life to distinguish the types of these fish.

It is worth noting that the teeth of the fish, most of the fish have a mouthful of sharp teeth, which are very aggressive, and if a person falls into a small river, they will attack them in groups, and it is likely to cost them their lives.

Even if you fork a fish out of a small river with a "harpoon", be careful, because the fish that is not yet dead will bite you back and bite off a piece of flesh from a person.

Combining these two dangers, the adoptive mother was a little reluctant to let the three children go to the river, fortunately, the river was not far from the snake tribe's residence, and there were nearly thirty adult women in the fishing team, the adoptive mother hesitated and agreed to let Su Yan follow, anyway, there will be other children who will also follow the past to play, as long as you watch carefully, it is unlikely that an accident will occur.

Not long after, the fishing team was assembled, nearly thirty adults with a dozen children headed towards the river, and after a while they came to the river, those who did not come with their children had already dispersed to find a place to prepare for spearfishing, and those who came with children were busy warning the children that they were not allowed to get close to the river and were not allowed to go into the water, nor could they leave them too far, after the warning, they also dispersed to find a place to prepare for spearfishing.

The creek is five meters wide at most, no more than a meter deep at its deepest, and it twists and turns and flows from west to east, without knowing exactly where its source and end are.

There are many creatures in the river, mainly fish, there are big and small, rare big fish whose body length is even longer than the arm of an adult, and fish weighing one or two catties abound, as if they can be scooped out with a scoop.

Looking at the swimming fish in the water, and then at the clansmen who were spearing fish, Su Yan fell into thought:

"This method of using sharpened sticks to spear fish is not advisable, adults have more strength and experience, even so, their fishing efficiency is not high, my own strength is so small, I have no experience in fishing, it is impossible to fork fish in a short time, it should be changed method."

Common fishing methods include spearfishing, nets, and hooks, mainly of these three.

For Su Yan, spearfish is the least advisable, fishing with a hook, making a hook is a big problem, but fishing with nets is somewhat feasible, but there are also problems that need to be dealt with.

Weaving fishing nets for fishing, the snake tribe has straw ropes, but most of those ropes do not meet Su Yan's requirements, I am afraid that Su Yan has to weave the straw rope himself, which requires a certain degree of tenacity and cannot be too thick.

Su Yan has never woven fishing nets before, relying on the only little knowledge she has to slowly explore how to weave fishing nets.

While thinking, Su Yan wrote and drew on the ground with tree branches, thinking about how to weave fishing nets.

As the sun set, the fishing team returned with the afternoon's harvest, and at this time, the lively and active children also vented their energy, and sat lazily on the ground one by one without moving, and were finally pulled back by their mothers.

The return of the hunting team is still before the fishing team, and the luck of the hunting team today is good, and they are far away from hunting an adult sika deer, and there are two small animals that Su Yan can't name.

The harvest of the hunting team plus the harvest of the fishing team is enough for all the people of the snake tribe to eat three meals, and the people of the entire snake tribe have a lot more smiles because of the harvest of the hunting team today.

For primitive people, being able to eat enough is the happiest thing.

The bonfire was lit again, and under the watchful eyes of the tribesmen, the skinned sika deer were directly threaded onto a thick wooden stick on the bonfire, and before long, the smell of roasted meat wafted through the habitat of the snake tribe.
