Chapter 21 is hopeful for the future
Until now, no one has been able to defeat Tartar and share Sangzhen with him. I have to say that due to the toughness of the tartar, Sang Zhen is the only one in this group of primitive women who has not been 'indiscriminate'.
For example, she has the most men, and other women will have two or more men. Here, this kind of thing is normal, there is nothing to say from the beginning. No one would take revenge, revenge, or anything like that for this kind of thing.
Mo Yi'er was very confused in her heart, and she didn't want to discuss anything with Man Ge and Chu Ji about the two loves, so she simply went back to the cave, went to bed early, and had to hurry tomorrow!
Because this was Mo Yier's first time going out after coming to this primitive society, she woke up very early the next day and was very excited.
There were a total of six people who went to the Haim tribe together, in addition to Chu Ji and Mo Yi'er, there were also stronger men among the four tribes. When you go out, you will encounter many wild beasts and people from outside, so the danger is relatively high, and every time someone goes out, the other tribesmen who stay behind will be very worried.
This time, there is also a Mo Yi'er who is not pretending, and they are even more worried.
Sang Zhen got up early in the morning at dawn to roast the dried meat, and brought them to eat on the way, because there was no kettle, afraid that they would be thirsty, and brought a lot of leaves of water for them to drink more in the morning.
For this kind of thought, Mo Yier was speechless. Then he put forward his opinion to Sang Zhen: "Whoever drinks too much will want to pee, so that the water may pass more, and bring it back into the jungle, let's pick some wild fruits and bring them, and you can eat wild fruits when you are thirsty." ”
"Yes, Mo Yi'er, you are so smart!" Sang Zhen looked at Mo Yi'er with great admiration, making Mo Yi'er cry and laugh, no way, who let this group of primitive people with uncivilized heads! Something suddenly occurred to her: "Isn't there any bamboo in the woods?" Can be used to make a kettle. ”
"What is bamboo?" Sang Zhen didn't know, Mo Yi'er took a branch and drew a few times on the ground, drawing a general appearance of a bamboo tube: "That's it, it's empty inside and can be used to hold water." ”
Sang Zhen tilted her head and thought about it, the originally unkempt hair on her head had now become smooth and clean. This is all due to Mo Yi'er, and the women in the tribe have gradually begun to like to be clean, and they have to go to the water every day to wash it. It took a while for Sang Zhen to think of something. "There is no bamboo, but I know that the heart of a tree is empty."
"That's great, where's that?"
"It's right by the water, I'll take you over after I've made breakfast." Sang Zhen said this, but Mo Yi'er couldn't wait.
"I'll look for it myself and I'll be back in a moment." Mo Yi'er picked up Xiao Ra's stone knife and ran to the waterhole.
At this time, Chu Wei came over and asked Sang Zhen. "What did Mo Yi'er do?"
"She went to the waterhole to find a hollow tree, which I had seen by the water's edge." Sang Zhen explained, his men still neatly slicing the meat and mushrooms for breakfast.
Chu Wei nodded and went to the water's edge.
To be honest, Mo Yi'er knows very limited varieties of trees, there are five or six kinds of trees by the water, and she doesn't know anything except willows. Perhaps, in the twenty-first century, where she once lived, there were no such trees. By the way, there is also a lotus tree that she named before, which is also found by the waterhole, but it is much smaller than the lotus tree at the edge of the jungle.
Chu Yi's steps were very big and his speed was also very fast, so as soon as Mo Yi'er reached the waterhole with his front foot, Chu Yi also rushed over. "Mo Yi'er, I know which kind of hollow tree is it, but what are you going to use it for?"
"Use it to make a kettle, fill it with water and drink it on the way."
When Chu Wei heard Mo Yi'er say this, he showed a very strange expression: "Are you sure?" ”
"Are you sure, what's wrong?"
Chu Wei didn't say anything more, just brought Mo Yi'er to the hollow tree, this time Mo Yi'er was dumbfounded, this tree is too big! Mo Yi'er was stunned for a while before she said, "This can be used as a water tank." ”
"Water tank?"
"Yes, cut him down and carry him back to the tribe, and then fetch more water at a time, so that you don't have to come to the waterhole every time you drink water, wash food, and fur."
Mo Yi'er's words made Chu Jiong's eyes light up, "It's indeed a good way, but how are we going to cut down the tree?" With a stone knife? ”
Mo Yi'er only then thought that there are only stone knives in the tribe, and there are no stone axes, and even if there are, the stone axes are not sharp, and it is difficult to cut down trees. "Forget it, let's talk about it when we get back. Chu Jiong, can you help me go to the tree and break the branches? I wonder if the branches are hollow. ”
Mo Yi'er looked up at the tall trees, some of the branches were also very thick, if they were hollow, they could also be used to make kettles.
"Okay." Chu Wei is also very good at climbing trees, and he climbed to a height of three or four meters in a few clicks, and with one force, he used a branch the thickness of Mo Yi'er's small arm, and then jumped directly from the tree.
Mo Yi'er had already seen Man Ge do this, so she wasn't too surprised, just observing the branches he had broken off. Fortunately, the branches are also hollow, Mo Yi'er ripped off the small branches and leaves on the top, this time she was depressed, there would be a small hole in the position above the branch, she only used a thin branch to plug the small hole, and then took it to the waterhole and wiped it, fortunately, it would not leak. "You can make a kettle." After speaking, she raised her head and took a sip, the water still had a faint aroma of leaves, it was delicious.
"But what is going to happen here?" Chu Wei pointed to the upper end of the 'kettle', walking like this will spill the water.
Mo Yi'er smiled mysteriously and picked a few small lotus leaves by the waterhole, among the many leaves, the lotus leaves were the strongest. She put the lotus leaves on the top of the 'kettle', and then she found a rattan to tie the upper end tightly, and the simple kettle was ready, and shook it vigorously, but the water did not show out. "How?"
Mo Yi'er asked Chu Ji as if offering a treasure, and when she saw Chu Ji's appreciative gaze, a wave of pride was born in her heart.
"Great, I'll go up and fold a few more." This time, without Mo Yi'er's instructions, Chu Wei climbed the tree and found a suitable hollow branch.
The shape of this branch is thick at the root and thin at the tip, just like the shape of a spring bamboo shoot, Chu Wei found 6 branches with a thickness of the wrist and a length of about 50cm, and after a while, he made 6 kettles. This time it was Chu Wei who did it, so it was much better than Mo Yi'er's first experiment. After it is done, it is filled with water and taken directly back to the tribe.
Sang Zhen also found a leather rope and wrapped it around the mouth of the pot to make a belt, so that people who went out could carry the kettle on their backs.
Everyone rejoiced so that they would not be thirsty when they did not find a water source.
After a busy time, the clansmen sat around the fire and ate breakfast. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and they all looked forward to the days ahead, and they all felt that Mo Yi'er was sent by the gods to save them, and they were full of hope for the future.
