Chapter 39: If only I could swim in the water like a fish!
"Okay! Who else wants to go? Cai Wei thought, one baby is released, and two babies are also released. Take these little ones away, and the adults will be able to do things more with peace of mind.
"Can we all do it?" A seven or eight-year-old girl named Cao'er asked.
"Of course, you can do it as long as you want." Cai Wei looked at the adults who were already busy over there and said.
After the discussion between Aoba and the Great Witch and the others, they still decided to gather everyone to dig this river first, after all, the wolf beast came from here last night.
What's more, Cai Wei also said that the wolf beast may come to take revenge on them. Be sure to concentrate your efforts, so it's better not to separate.
On the other side, there is already a small low wall, although it does not play a big role, but it is also a comfort in the heart.
"Really?" The children who had been helping to pick up small rocks on the ground stood up and asked.
"Hmm!" She looked at these almost naked children, and there was still some pity in her heart.
In her world, children of this age should be carefree, and they should all sit in the classroom at this time and learn knowledge and culture. But these people were busy with their stomachs, and she wondered if she should teach them something.
In the past, there were many people in the tribe who did not grow up and would die for some small reason. This is also the reason why the population was too small in this ancient era.
And the children of this cannibal tribe are even smaller, more than forty men, but only fourteen or fifteen women and six children.
Needless to say, it is they who are more cruel to people. They thought that those who could not find much did not need to consume the food of the tribe, and that those who wanted to be healthy were hungry.
So they would share the sick children.
Of course, for the sake of the development of the tribe, they may go to other tribes to grab some children who are about to become adults. Of course, it is also common to rob women, including women who are already pregnant.
A group of children rarely showed their childlike side today, and they all dropped what they were doing and ran to Cai Wei and the three of them. Although some of these people were older than all of them, they were still centered around the three of them.
"Brother Da Niu, you take Aman, Sister Axia, you take Xiaocao. They are young, and it is still risky to cross the river, so the others will form their own teams, and the two of them will ride a bull beast, and after sitting down, we can cross the river. ”
When she had finished speaking, she climbed onto the neck of a cow and grabbed its horns with both hands.
"I want to be with you!" Da Niu was a little reluctant, he had been playing with Ah Cai recently. I didn't expect a rare opportunity, and there were a few more followers.
"No, I want to be alone, not to mention that Moo's neck can only sit on one person." Cai Wei refused without hesitation.
You know, the back of a cow is not so easy to ride.
"Oh well! Qiu'er, Dashan, and Acao are all so big, why are they still playing with us? "Da Niu can't ride the same cow with Cai Wei, and he doesn't want so many people to be with him. These people can work with the adults.
"We're not just playing today, we're also responsible for the food for these adults. Go to the other side of the river to carry watermelons, and then prepare grilled fish and grilled mussels for them to eat. ”
After she finished speaking, she crawled into the ear of the cow and muttered, asking it to arrange for the remaining cows and beasts to help keep an eye on the movements from the mountains and forests. To guard against wolves, people may ignore them while working, but there are many cows and sheep. You'll always notice.
When Da Niu heard this, he was a little ashamed in his heart, he was more than 7 years old, but he was not as good as Ah Cai's sister, who was only more than two years old. At this point, he will be there again.
Pulling Aman to climb onto the back of the cow, when the group crossed the river, Aman and they were still very nervous.
Although they all knew that Ah Cai and the others had crossed the river many times, and they were very safe, they were still afraid for no reason.
After all, these water and fire are beyond their control, and they are naturally afraid.
"You say, if only we could swim in the water like these fish!" Cai Wei said as if unintentionally.
She is a good swimmer and has good technique. But once I got here, I didn't do it once.
So she wanted to start with this group of dolls first.
"That's not going to work, you're going to die if you go into the water. Auntie, hurry up! "It's okay not to talk about this, but when you talk about it, everyone is scared.
"That's it, my grandfather died in the water." It was Ah Man who said this, he was carefully holding the waist of the big cow, and the whole person was trembling a little.
"Don't be afraid, this cow beast is very stable, we often cross the river, and nothing has happened." Seeing that he was scared, Da Niu hurriedly whispered comfort, after all, he was still a child.
"Everyone should be careful, it just rained a few days ago, and the river is deeper than before." Cai Wei saw that the cow was not stepping on the water to cross the river at all, but floating, and hurriedly reminded everyone.
It's summer, and it rains from time to time, but luckily it doesn't happen for a few days. Otherwise, she really wouldn't dare to cross the river easily.
In fact, she wants to plant and breed here, so that she doesn't have to run so far for a little food.
But there is so much to do at the moment, and it's all imminent. So these things had to be put on the back burner, and she believed that one day, her idea would come true.
"We all know it, and my aunt and grandmother should be careful!" Ah Man said with a little milky voice.
"Ah Cai, you have to be careful yourself, don't worry about us." Da Niu was so angry that he couldn't do it when he saw that Ah Man had robbed him again.
Is this kid going against himself today or something, he has to get ahead of himself in everything.
He regretted taking him now, he glanced at the slightly muddy river, and really wanted to throw him down.
When he thought like this, he looked away from his eyes and glanced at Ah Man with deep meaning.
When Ah Man saw the big cow turn around, the smile that was originally hanging on his face was deflated before he had time to accept it.
"Grandma ......" What he wanted to say became more and more unbearable.
"Yikes! It's a cucumber! After crossing the river, Cai Wei led everyone to ride the ox and walked very casually.
Her eyes were rolling around, and it turned out to be a good thing for her.
A tree is covered with vines and covered with cucumbers. It was much bigger than she had seen before, and it was verdant, and it looked delicious.
"Moo, let's move closer." She pointed to the cucumber and said to the cow.
"Moo, you eat first." Picking a cucumber is naturally a reward for the hero, and a piece of it is stuffed in its mouth first. I just took a bite.
"Well, this stuff is so delicious, you guys do it quickly!" She beckoned everyone as she gulped down.
"Ah Cai, do you want to pick some of these back?" Ah Xia knew the mission of their trip, not just to eat and have fun here. Busy asked.
"Yes, you can taste it first, and then pick it. These are too small to keep and let them grow longer, and we'll pick them again in two days. She said, pointing to a cucumber that was too small.
