Chapter 13: Finding Good Things
This end.
Feng Jiuli, who came out of the cave with a scythe, didn't go far, just walked around the neighborhood in bulky slate shoes, and picked up a lot of firewood after a while.
The red sun was already shining in the sky unconsciously, emitting a scorching light and energy, so hot that Feng Jiuli wiped the sweat on his forehead.
I was about to make my way back to the cave.
At this moment, several immature voices came: "Ninth sister, why don't you call us when you come out to collect firewood!" We're going to help too. ”
"That's it."
……
It was the little radish head with a thin face, except for the little eight phoenixes and eight braves, everyone else was there, and they were personally led by the one-eyed leader.
One-eyed also touched the back of his head a little helplessly: "No way, they didn't see you when they woke up, so they had to come out to look for you." I was worried about them, so I went out with them. ”
"By the way, Hachi didn't come because he was helping the people in the tribe cut their hair." Finally, he added.
No wonder.
Feng Jiuli looked at the leader who had already cut his hair into a plank, and then looked at the little radish heads gathered around him, and nodded, indicating that he understood.
Speaking of cutting hair.
One-eyed seemed to have opened the conversation, and touched his short hair with some excitement and said: "Don't say it, this board is really comfortable, the head doesn't feel heavy, and there are fewer insects on the head, so you don't have to wash it often in the future, you can wash it again after a long while." ”
"Your scissor artifact is amazing!" Yes, now the three-piece iron set has been revered as an artifact by the people of the tribe.
One-eyed, heartfelt admiration.
This statement was also unanimously agreed by all the radish heads.
God knows.
In the past, when they washed their heads, they were all annoyed, and all their hair was clumped together. Fortunately, with the ninth sister, with the artifact of the ninth sister, long live the ninth sister! Long live the artifact!
Feng Jiuli: "......"
She was a little speechless and held her forehead: "I asked you to cut your hair short, not to make you lazy!" It's to let you wash your hair and shower diligently, and keep it clean and hygienic! ”
said.
Feng Jiuli looked at the radish heads with a stern face, and said, "I can't control the one-eyed leader and the rest of the tribe for the time being, but you guys must go to the lake every three days to bathe and wash your hair, and you can't be as sloppy and filthy as before, you know?" ”
As for bathing every day, there is no such condition for the time being.
Children: "Yes! Ninth sister! ”
One-Eyed: "......"
Inexplicably, he felt ostracized and disliked.
"Ahem, ahem."
One-eyed coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then said, "That...... Jiu'er, since I found you, the children will be handed over to you, and I will go back first. ”
There are still a lot of things to do in the tribe, and after yesterday's robbery, stone choppers, scrapers, and pointed tools have to be remade.
Edible wild fruits and weeds had to be re-collected.
They have to store food from now on, or after a while, the weather will start to get cold and they won't be able to find anything to eat.
Oh yes, I have to pick up some prey and come back, and the fur will keep you warm. If you don't have food or clothing, you'll die, every time.
Last time, I starved to death and froze to death five or six. Fortunately, a few people were picked up later, and the crybaby Xiaoyi was picked up by him at that time.
Think about it.
One-eyed sighed a little, so the responsibility of the leader is very heavy, which is also the reason why he feels that Jiu'er is not the right leader, she is too young and ignorant.
"Okay."
Feng Jiuli nodded.
After the one-eyed leader left, she looked at the glittering radish heads kindly and said, "You haven't eaten yet, are you hungry?" ”
Seriously.
If you don't eat, let them help with the work.
Looking at their thin little bodies, Feng Jiuli couldn't bear it. She herself ate some wild fruits and grilled fish last night, so she wasn't too hungry. But the little turnips were asleep at that time, and knowing that they were tired, he did not wake them up.
Feng Yiming shook his head obediently: "Ninth sister, we are not hungry." ”
The witty little Erfeng Erling revealed the truth in one sentence: "Besides, it's not time to eat yet." No matter how hungry you are, you have to endure it. ”
The noisy phoenix five-winged chirped: "That's it, the one-eyed leader said, we have to be in the ...... In the ......"
"You can only start eating when the sun goes down a little bit, so that you don't feel hungry at night." Feng Liuying, who has the best memory, completes it.
The other turnip heads nodded wildly.
Wide-eyed Feng Jiuli: "......"
Yes, she forgot about eating three meals a day.
In primitive societies, because of the scarcity of food and the rampant wild beasts, primitive people were basically at the bottom of the food chain, so they could only eat one meal a day.
Every day.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so malnourished and thin.
Of course.
The exception is the one-eyed who is the chief, because he is the leader of the old, weak, sick and disabled tribe, which is equivalent to the heaven of the tribe, and is the support of all, so he can eat two meals a day, and he is taller and stronger than all the others.
Alas.
Feng Jiuli, who didn't know what to say, had no choice but to sigh deeply, and then said, "Go!" The ninth sister will take you to find food and open a small stove for you! "Well, let everyone in the tribe be fed, she doesn't have that ability for the time being, but it's not a big problem to open a small stove for the children.
Although they didn't know what it meant to open a small stove, when they heard that the ninth sister was going to take them to find food, all the radish heads were very excited and licked their lips unconsciously.
It seems to remind me of the delicious grilled fish from yesterday.
"Ninth sister, are we still going to catch big white fish in the lake? I'm going to get that harpoon. The witty Feng Erling ran back excitedly with bare feet.
But suddenly I thought of something again, paused in my small steps, and my little brows furrowed deeply: "But I didn't seem to see the harpoon in the cave just now." ”
Smell.
The other radish heads couldn't help frowning and recalling.
"The harpoon is gone!"
Feng Qimo, who has always been silent and cherishes words like gold, also spoke, and his tone was affirmative, and the black hand unconsciously clenched his fists.
"Oh, the harpoon...... Last night, it was burned by the ninth sister as firewood. Feng Jiuli stretched out his hands and explained, "There was no firewood in the cave last night, and after burning Uncle Lame's crutches, Sister Jiu temporarily burned those three harpoons as dry firewood." ”
"It's okay, anyway, the ninth sister knows how to make a harpoon, and she will do it in a while."
Carrot head: "......"
All right.
Since it was the ninth sister who burned it as firewood, then they can only say - it burned beautifully!
Between words.
Feng Jiuli had already cut off a long vine, tied up all the dry firewood that he had picked up and piled up together, put it aside, left it alone for the time being, and then dragged it back to the cave when he came back.
