"Tree! Let's go, it's time for us to pick up fruit this morning."

A group of small children, with leaves around their waists and simple backpacks on their backs, surrounded the children who were squatting on the ground in a daze.

"Well, you guys wait a minute" The child in a daze got up and walked into a tent behind him, and after a while he came out with the same backpack on his back.

"Let's go to the inside of the mountain today?" The child, who is also a tree, asked with some excitement.

"No, we can only be outside the mountain!" The asked child shook his head.

"Ah......h

"Xiaoshu, why do you always want to go to the mountains, there are so many beasts there, even adults don't dare to go!" In a bunch of children, a rare fat child in a bunch of thin children asked.

The tree sighed. What a satisfying person.

"Are you tired of eating the fruit you usually eat?"

"Sort of," the kid thought about it.

"But that's all there is to it," the child and the other children said puzzled

"But there are more delicious fruits in the woods!" Xiao Shu was bewitched, and his tone was categorical.

The children looked at each other and felt a little shaken. and without suspicion.

"How do you know?"

"yes, you haven't been"

"Just that's it"

"Hey! You don't believe me? The little tree pointed to his nose and asked, "You say, is the basket on your back any good?" Did I do this? ”

"yes, so what!"

"Because when I went to hunt vines before, I went to the woods and saw them, and I ate a few sweet fruits," the tree muffled his voice mysteriously.

As soon as the children heard Tiantian, they immediately became agitated, and the younger ones seemed to have believed his words, and they all thought in their hearts that it might be true! But the older children still didn't believe it, and the two waves of people discussed it louder.

Seeing this, the small tree gestured to indicate quietness. Then he was pacified. He didn't want to get that person's attention.

"It's my secret, you can't talk nonsense if you know it!" He doesn't have high requirements, as long as he flickers close to the forest, and no matter how bad he is, he can not complain.

The children all widened their eyes and covered their mouths, indicating that they would never talk nonsense.

"So we ......"

"So you still can't go into the woods"

A tall, muscular man slapped one hand on the head of the tree. The upright face makes people feel stern, and warns all the children, "Don't go, or you will move stones for me every day!" ”

Immediately, all the children quickly slipped away. Except, of course, being held down by the tree overhead.

"Uncle Feisha...... I have to go and pick up the fruit," the tree begged for mercy.

Flying Sand glared at the tree. Meaning, see how I clean you up!

"I promise not to say this again!" The tree immediately interrupted Flying Sand's impending preaching, and his innocent eyes blinked at Flying Sand.

"Remember your words" As soon as Feisha finished speaking, the tree shrank down and immediately pulled the back basket rope and ran away, looking like he was being chased by a wild beast and running for his life, Feisha smiled helplessly and shook his head.

The tree, also known as Li Yue, is a researcher from the 23rd century, mainly working at the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences to improve the growth habits of crops. Because in the 23rd century, the global warming has intensified, the sea level has risen sharply, the land area has been shrinking, and many unnecessary deserts and rocky beaches have been built for human habitation. Many crops have to be cultivated out of the soil, and his job is to constantly experiment and cultivate various experiments that can grow crops without soil and survive, focusing on the cultivation of crops in the sea and in the air.

Before the crossing, Li Yue was looking at the third batch of transgenic corn cultivated by seawater, but he didn't expect to fall into the cultivation pond like entering a bottomless abyss, and woke up to this primitive society is Hanhui, 32-year-old himself became a thin, yellow-faced and thin lonely child, I thought it was only 5.6 years old, but I didn't expect this body to be 10 years old, and I thought it was also a long period of malnutrition, which caused him to be stunted.

It was only 2 or 3 days after he started here, and Li Yue figured out himself and the situation here.

First of all, this is a primitive society, except for the phenomenon of cannibalism, the others are still in the Stone Age.

This body is called a tree, and it is a child that was picked up in another place two years ago, and when the people of the Ji tribe picked him up, he was almost dying and feverish, and they thought that the child was hopeless. I didn't expect him to survive on his own, but when he woke up, he didn't know who he was or where he came from. The whole person is like a lack of soul.

The people of the Ji tribe took pity on him and raised him with children who had also suffered the death of both parents.

Ordinary tribes don't just raise people with unknown routes, but this tribe is too small and weak, and the whole tribe is only about 200 people. Among them, there are only about 40 warriors, about 50 men and women, and the rest are children or old people, and the force value of the population is too weak. If another tribe attacks this place, it will suffer heavy losses.

In order to strengthen this group, the leader of the Ji tribe kept picking up these outcast children, he and other children were basically picked up, although they were young, but they still adhered to the safety of the tribe, they were to be monitored, and the children of the tribe who were mixed with them were responsible for monitoring, and that Feisha was the adult who managed these children.

In fact, management is just to distribute work for them and reduce conflicts between children.

As for food, there is only one meal at noon a day, and the rest of the time when you are hungry and have to figure it out by yourself, although the age is young, but there is more work, except for the winter will be a little easier, the rest of the time they have to work non-stop, not harsh children, but all fall like this, are working hard for survival.

Li Yue has been thinking about how to persuade the people in the tribe to enter the mountains, not only for their own poor food, but also for nothing, drinking snow and eating soil in winter.

It's the end of summer, and the wind on the plains is blowing a heat wave, which is a sign of the autumn harvest. guiding him to harvest the fruits of nature.

Li Yue, who was squatting on the ground to pick up fruit, thought.

A gust of hot wind blew the leaves around the waist and turned up, revealing a yellow, charred ass. Li Yue hurriedly pressed it, and looked at the child next to him who was also picking up fruit.

Fortunately, they all picked up the fruit seriously, and they didn't notice him. Li Yue, who felt this, couldn't help but rejoice.

Get! It seems that it is not only a matter of eating, but also of clothing.

It was impossible for these children to enclose the hides, and the tribe was only for adults, and it was a small piece of the hidden place. Only at the beginning of winter were they given a few large hides, and all the children had to be huddled together in the cave.

Judging from the memories of those two winters, this kind of lifestyle is unbearable even for Li Yue, who has no cleanliness habits.

"Hey, it's not bad if you find hemp!"

Li Yue has been running around for about 4 months, and has followed these children to many places, praying every time to find familiar crops, even if they are undomesticated, and as a result, they have run all over a radius of ten miles, and for 4 months, they have found plants and sesame seeds similar to wheat.

Li Yue took the dozens of the strongest plants back, and he carefully raised them behind the cave in winter, patiently waiting for the results.

Sighing, after looking up to confirm the safety of the children's standing on the tree, Li Yue accepted his fate to pick up fruit with the other children.

The fruit in his hand is called the wood fruit, and it is the fruit eaten by the tribal chief. The weight is relatively heavy, but the volume is no bigger than a baby's fist, the appearance is green and smooth and hard, and when the shell is smashed, the inside is white, sour with a hint of sweetness.

Because the shell is too hard and the color is too hidden, it is easy for animals to overlook. Only then do people have the opportunity to pick and plant. Otherwise, it would have been patronized by other animals and birds.

In this era, there are so many animals that they are overflowing, and the so-called porridge is less and more monks, and they fight and rob each other in order to eat animals.

"Tree! You see what we've gained today! Bai excitedly showed Li Yue the back basket.

"Well, it's okay."

Shiro is a child who has a good relationship with him, because he loves to be a little cleaner than others.

Li Yue bent down and lifted the back basket, and then placed it on the white back. The small waist is bent. He still had a smile on his face.

"Is it heavy? Do you want to put it in my back basket?" Li Yue was worried that he would not be able to walk.

"No, no, you still have to carry wood, you will definitely be heavier than me at that time" Poplar hand.

These children were divided into several small teams, each team had to collect fruits, wood, and wild vegetables every day, among which fruits and wild vegetables were the most difficult to collect, and they could only collect half of them in normal times, and today they found an undiscovered wood fruit tree, and they couldn't close their mouths with a smile, a small team of 6 people, 3 of them had full baskets, and the rest of them had to load wild vegetables and wood. Looking at the uncollected fruit on the tree, the children were reluctant to leave.

"Don't look at it, we'll pick it earlier tomorrow," Li Yue comforted.

"But what if someone else finds out about it in the afternoon?" The other kids were worried about it.

"yes, yes, more fruit, and we'll get meat tomorrow!" The child looked at Li Yue with blank eyes

Speaking of meat, except for Li Yue, the other children couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Li Yue raised his forehead, okay, as a person who grew up in a food country, he said that he couldn't accept the cooking methods of handling meat in this world, so he really didn't feel much about meat. But for the sake of physical development, he still needs some meat supplements.

"Okay, then you go and pull the vines, I'll make some baskets right away."

"Okay! We're going to take it all out of the tree! The older children immediately looked for vines in the grass.

"That's right! All of them! The other children cheered and went up the tree to show off their skills.

Li Yue wanted to go up to the tree to help, but his physical strength was not enough, so he could only do simple things such as picking fruits.

"Hey, when can I eat normal food" I really want white rice, I really want to eat stir-fried fat sausages, braised prawns in oil, cola chicken wings, steamed pork ribs.

"What are you muttering, little tree?" asked Shiro, hugging a bundle of vines.

"Nothing...... Why are you talking so much" Li Yue looked up, holding a bunch of them in their hands.

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not enough."

"Otherwise, you see that they have basically picked all of them, and all of them are not as many as before" Under the wooden tree, the fruit scattered all over the ground, and the children picking fruit on the tree began to get down the tree.

"What's there, make up a few more and take them back, the vines on the edge of the tribe have been picked, and we won't have to look for it next time" As the eldest child in the team, Yong finished speaking, and the rest of the children nodded.

"When I'm done, the sun will go down" Just kidding, you think it's not tiring to make a back basket, just a few, these vines have to be made up more than 10 to say the least. Arms aren't sore? Don't sit down at the waist yet!

When the children heard this, they became anxious. Yongya is a little difficult to think about the lack of time.

"Well, I'll weave the rest of the fruit in a basket, and bring back the rest of the vines for the water to weave, otherwise we won't have time to collect wild herbs and wood."

"Good! Okay, you make it up first, let's go find wild vegetables and wood first."

As long as you can bring them all back, you can go back to the tribe before you go down the mountain. A few children discussed and divided into two ways to do things.

After a hard fight, they returned to the tribe before the sun went down, and when they handed over the fruit, they undoubtedly became the envy of the other squads, and the excess fruit could win some meat.

For the Ji tribe, there are only a handful of opportunities for their children to eat meat. Other children with parents do not often eat, the young and middle-aged people of the tribe are too few, and usually half of the manpower has to be left to protect the tribe, and the other 20 or so people go hunting, and generally go to a few days to harvest not much, and the meat is first to be supplied to the young and middle-aged, followed by the pregnant women and injured people in the tribe, and then these children, to drink a bowl of broth.

Therefore, Li Yue couldn't wait to collect crops, hoping to change the food.

Touching his dry belly and drinking two sips of fruit belly in a wooden stake, Li Yue ran to the back of the cave to see the plants he had transplanted.

Dozens of wheat-like plants emitted golden light in the sunset, Li Yue's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly ran to check, twisted the wheat ear in his hand and was different from what he was familiar with, this wheat ear was smaller, and the wheat grains inside were oval particles, like a combination of rice and wheat, smelling the fragrance of wheat grains, although it was not the grain wheat he was familiar with, this fragrance was almost the same, Li Yue tasted one, and the taste of the grain bite was not similar to wheat, but this one was a little harder.

It seems that it should be edible, Li Yue instantly burst into tears. I hope I finally see a little hope.

Looking back at these dozens of ears of wheat, no, this is not dozens of ears of wheat, but next year's barn! In the midst of his sigh, he couldn't help but see some other plants on the side of the ears of wheat

"This ......" was transplanted with wheat at the time, and there were sesame-like plants, but now it seems that this is not sesame seeds, but just ordinary weed seeds, and the seeds in them are too small and very bitter.

"It seems that today's good use is over, but you can try whether these leaves can be eaten" After speaking, Li Yue plucked the roots of the plant up and got a handful of leaves.

Not far from planting crops, several traditional Chinese medicine plants such as Xanthus, Huoxiang, and Banlan root were planted, and seeing that they were all alive and energetic, Li Yue returned to the centralized tent.

Flying Sand came with a stone pot, which was a reward for their excess and complete fruit,

All the children picked up a bowl like a container and waited for their food to be served, and Li Yue's was a stone with a shallow pit, which was currently used as a bowl. It's very inconvenient.

This civilization is still only the Stone Age, and there has not yet been pottery, let alone iron.

The food in his hand was nothing more than a fruit and a lump of soup made of strips of meat, and it was estimated that there was not much meat. Not even a single drop of oil could be seen on it. Those children were still eating delicious food.

Ay...... Li Yue looked at the food in his hand and sighed involuntarily.

Gather the wheat tomorrow and plan ahead.

I can't stand this life anymore!

Although Li Yue was old before he wore it, he was still relatively young, and he liked to go shopping and eat the most, so it can be said that as long as he was on fire, he had to make 2 dishes and one soup by himself.

Today's luxury is to eat that fishy meat! I can't take it anymore!
