Chapter XXXVIII
"Recently, when everyone gathers, don't leave the tribe too far, and when the fruit is enough to gather, we will go hunting together."
The oldest and most experienced patriarch instructed the people.
"We're going hunting? Not enough hides? ”
Jun Qianqian counted the tribe's food in her mind, they still had more than 20 wild boars that had not been killed, if what was missing was not meat, it could only be fur.
"Yes, the next bazaar will be the last one before winter, and even if they want to get the tinder, no tribe will be willing to risk freezing to death to exchange animal skins for us."
Ceramics can't be sold at a price before winter, hemp rope is used for salt, even if trap hunting can be slightly replenished, but the brick house seals doors and windows need to consume a lot of animal skins, and the Purple Flower Tribe still can't make ends meet.
"We can't stay in the house all winter without coming out."
If you have less clothes, you can only burn more firewood to ensure the temperature of the room, and you can't go out after the firewood is burned, so you can only stare dryly.
"The patriarch plans to use the fire to exchange food as much as possible, so as to save the time of gathering and hunting."
Traps are not good at catching agile but thick fur prey, except for Tiehanhan wild boar, the other prey caught is enough to make teeth and sacrifices, but the utilization rate of animal skins is not high.
Rabbits are easy to catch, but a litter of rabbit skins may not be able to wrap a young man like a mountain from head to toe.
"I thought the tinder could come back with a lot of things."
Jun Qianqian was a little disappointed.
"The fire is exchanged for other tribes in order to keep them alive, and if I exchange too many things for them, they will all die with or without fire."
Luo Ze patted Jun Qianqian's head, she still hadn't been to the market with the trading team, but he would tell her everything he saw.
"Okay."
If the tribe continued to hunt, the women and children would have to stay in the tribe, and the collected food would pile up in mountains to deal with, and each family's warehouse would be full.
"Don't worry, there are a lot of prey in autumn, and wild beasts will not attack people."
Kaisha's belly was already round as if it was about to burst, and Jun Qianqian was terrified every time she saw her.
"I hope so."
Jun Qianqian was still a little sullen.
"In the autumn of previous years, we didn't have so much food in stock, so why don't we still hunt in the woods and compete with those wild beasts for rations?"
Kai'Sa gently dismisses her.
"I just feel like I'm not wanting winter for the first time in my life."
This was the case in primitive times, there were so many reasons why people would die, they would starve to death without food, and they would freeze to death without warmth.
"Speaking of which, what about the wild boars we raise?"
As the captain of the pig production team, Kaisha is very concerned about the fate of the twenty or so wild boars in the tribe.
"There's no way to cut the grass in winter, so when the meat can freeze, let's kill it all."
The poor boars, even though they brought joy to everyone, could not escape the fate of slaughter.
Naked tool pigs.
"Okay!"
Kaisha glanced eagerly at her pigsty, where she now lived in a brick house with the only two unmarried women left in the tribe, a literal dormitory for the goddess.
I thought that Kai'Sa would raise pigs and raise feelings and was reluctant to start, but I was still too naïve.
Jun Qianqian looked at Kaisha speechlessly, everyone finally felt tired of the work of cutting pigweed.
"But I probably won't be able to kill the pig myself this time, my baby is about to be born."
The age of adulthood varies greatly, and the time it takes to conceive a baby is 10 months.
"I'll be born at the tail of autumn."
Jun Qianqian can occasionally see the baby's small hands and feet under Kaisha's belly, she never thought that the child would move so much when she was in the mother's belly, she was so frightened that her face turned white.
But it also shows that the child is very healthy and energetic.
"Yes, this winter is much happier than in previous years."
"How are the children born here?"
Even if she didn't touch the textbook, Jun Qianqian was determined to become a doctor at the beginning, and she thought that she should at least make some preparations for the delivery.
"My mother told me it was going to hurt, and I didn't know."
Kai'Sa is the first child to have a child, and there is not a single mother left in the tribe now, except for the underage Jun Qianqian and Xiaobasket, that is, the unpregnant Pelo and the unmarried sisters Liya and Lina.
"Is your head hard?"
Jun Qianqian looked shocked, she was worried that there was a big gap between the human bodies in the two worlds, and she didn't dare to casually popularize the knowledge of pregnancy to Kaisha, those clips about childbirth could only be simulated in her mind over and over again.
However, Jun Qianqian heard a fairly good news, there are often babies who die in this world, but there are not many mothers who die in childbirth.
"Maybe the women of this world are physically strong?"
Under such primitive medical and health conditions, it is a blessing in misfortune that the mother can survive.
"You said you were going to deliver the baby for me?"
Kai'Sa looked at Jun Qianqian in surprise, this word was also the first time she had heard it.
"Hmmm! When you give birth, please let me help! ”
Jun Qianqian clenched her fist with one hand, she will be ready to boil water and wait aside!
"You're still a child, I've heard that there will be a lot of blood when the time comes, don't scare you."
Kai'Sa only thinks Jun Qianqian because she says this out of curiosity.
"I've never been afraid of blood, what if I can help?"
How can people who will choose to study medicine be afraid of bloody scenes?
At best, she just felt that the smell of slaughtering her prey was a little disgusting, and when she was focused, she could ignore these unnecessary senses.
"I still don't want it, all the mothers are on their own."
Kai'Sa still refused, and Jun Qianqian didn't say it anymore, this was Kaisha's own business after all.
"Okay."
Jun Qianqian was even more depressed, and when Luo Ze and they came back from hunting, Jun Qianqian was still pinching the persimmon in a daze.
"Qianqian, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Ze hurriedly rescued the poor persimmon that was about to be filled.
"Oh, I'm sorry I shouldn't play with food."
After returning to her senses fiercely, Jun Qianqian held the persimmon and confessed with a face, and forgot the teachings of her grandparents! It would be bad if a child learns badly from her!
"I didn't say that to you."
Luo Ze touched Jun Qianqian's hair indifferently, it was just a persimmon cake for him, and it wasn't that he couldn't eat it, if she didn't have an appetite when she looked at it, he could eat it.
"You will definitely be the kind of father who spoils children in the future, but fortunately, when I meet you, the three views will be formed."
Jun Qianqian criticized Luo Ze with a serious face.
"Hmm-"
Luo Ze didn't even wipe the blood that was stained when he carried the prey on his body, and showed a soft and begging expression.
In the eyes of others, it's just a failure to sell cuteness, adding a bit of horror to the expression.
But Jun Qianqian just eats this set!
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about you anymore, don't move, I'll wipe your face."
"It's hopeless, it's hopeless."
sighed in his heart that one was willing to fight and one was willing to suffer, and no one was distressed, Daze, who could only take the rough hemp handed over by the third brother Xiao Ze, and wiped it on his face indiscriminately.
