Chapter 872

That is to say, the plague spread in the forest, a large number of wild animals died, and food began to be scarce.

The people live on food, and this is a fatal problem.

The sudden outbreak of the plague did not leave Ye Qingxin time to stock up on food in advance.

"Kai, while there is still prey, try to fight as many as possible in the past few days."

Ye Qingxin leaned into Qi's arms and whispered.

Kai stroked her long silky hair and nodded, "I know." ”

"I will take the females to collect more edible plants to replace some of the prey, and try to store the excess prey and eat it when the prey is not available."

Ye Qingxin sighed softly and said.

Fortunately, in late summer and early autumn, you can collect a lot of vegetables and fruits in the forest.

"Hmm." Kai raised his deep eyes and looked at the forest in the distance, a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

Father said that when he was a child, many wild beasts died in the forest, and they couldn't catch their prey, and many people in the tribe starved to death, and after that disaster, more than half of the people in the tribe were missing.

At that time, the people who survived all became clan elders, and they didn't expect to experience the same disaster again.

There are many people in the Apocalypse tribe, and they need a lot of prey every day, and if they really can't hit the prey, they don't know how long they can last relying on the plants collected by the females.

......

From that day on, Kei came back with the males to hunt a lot of prey every day.

Only the males know that there are fewer and fewer prey to be caught in the forest.

Many of the prey died, rotted and smelly, and a large number of gophers scurried around the forest, and the living prey rarely came out in groups.

Seeing no live prey, Kai took them into a cave, killed the male, brought back the mother and the little beast, and put them in a pen in the stone barrier.

Ye Qingxin started a busy life again.

The number of prey she brought back was decreasing day by day, and she began to take over the prey from her mother and strictly manage the distribution.

Every day, the females are taken to collect plants in the forest, and everything that can be eaten is taken to replace some of the meat.

Fresh vegetables are fried in prey fat and cooked, and a lot of wild fruits and ground vegetables can be picked every day, slowly replacing some meat.

All kinds of fresh plants are made into stir-fried dishes, which make the tribe feel extra fresh, and eat more than barbecue.

All the offal that are not easy to store are used for cooking.

Ye Qingxin asked the male who fired the clay pot to make three large clay pots, cut the cleaned internal organs into pieces, stir-fry and boil them in the pot, and added a lot of spices to make a fragrant stew, which was extremely popular with the clansmen.

Meat consumption has been halved. Ye Qingxin was busy pickling the saved prey every day.

The prey is skinned, washed and dried, with a few strokes of a flower knife on it, smeared with salt several times, and then hung on a wooden frame with vines to dry.

The salt was used too quickly, and sometimes the salt brine pool could not be delivered, so Ye Qingxin had to think of other ways.

She asked Lu and Ah Shi to build a lot of tripods, on which a lot of animal meat was hung, and then surrounded the wooden frames with large leaves.

A charcoal fire is lit underneath the meat of the beast, and the charcoal fire is kept unextinguished, and a layer of sawdust is sprinkled on top to make smoked meat.

The white wolf brought the sick wolf beast to lick the medicine every day, and the bitter medicinal soup made the wolves cry bitterly, but they were forced by the white wolf and did not dare not eat it.

The wolf beasts that came to lick the medicine every day died less and less, which made Ye Qingxin breathe a sigh of relief.

The medicine she dispensed was effective, and although it was slow, it could at least save lives.

You must know that the plague has been a terrible epidemic in its own time and space since ancient times, and there is no one.

In ancient times, when there was a shortage of medical treatment, it was quite amazing to have medicine to eat and save lives.

......

In the forest.
