Chapter 17: You're the Victim
"What is this?" Xiao Yan looked at the root of the tree that Shen Xiaoxiao was holding suspiciously, "Is it used to light the fire?" ”
Shen Xiaoxiao's face was full of black lines, which he used to light the fire, and he couldn't figure it out.
"This is Panax notoginseng, a medicinal herb, which has the effect of dispersing stasis and stopping bleeding, reducing swelling and fixing pain."
Although Xiao Yan already knew that she would be able to heal, he never thought that she would find a medicine so quickly, and it was still a very good medicine.
After putting the things away, the two of them went out of the cave, the others had already barbecued meat, Xiao Yan and the witch doctor took his share and cleaned it up before sitting by the fire with Shen Xiaoxiao, the eyes of the others seemed to fall on them, but Xiao Yan and the two of them didn't pay attention to it, concentrating on roasting the meat on their hands, but they wanted to say something, but they didn't say anything because of what happened just now.
Qingshan saw that Shen Xiaoxiao was enjoying Xiao Yan's care, his eyes were staring at her tightly, and he didn't know what he thought Shen Xiaoxiao had done to him.
Xiao Yan also noticed Qingshan's eyes, and wanted to say something but was stopped, Shen Xiaoxiao shook his head at him and handed him the roasted meat.
Although I don't know what their previous relationship was like, I can see from the few words just now that they should have had a very good relationship with brothers before, because of her, the two had a conflict, and the words that people say when they are angry are often the most hurtful, she doesn't want Xiao Yan to say anything excessive and irreparable.
Moreover, the other party just looked at her unhappily, and did not say anything excessive or do anything excessive, and a piece of meat was indispensable for her to look at her, besides, he was the one who was angry.
There is a saying that comes about, I like the way you look at me and can't kill me, and now he's like this, maybe how to scold her in his heart, but because of the situation, he can't say it, so he can only stab her with his eyes.
Shen Xiaoxiao and the two went back to the cave after eating, after all, they don't hunt with the tribe, and naturally they don't have to listen to the arrangement of the witch doctor anymore, in fact, Shen Xiaoxiao prefers to live her life behind closed doors, but the status quo is like this, collective hunting, she can only go with the flow in order to integrate into the collective when she first arrives, and she can't change anything at all.
She didn't expect that it was just a short day, and she and Xiao Yan would break away from the management of the tribe, and they didn't have to follow the big army for whatever they wanted.
They will act together, because it is safer to have more people, otherwise they will encounter fierce beasts in the mountains alone, not dead and crippled, unless it is the kind of person with strong ability, otherwise most of them are in groups, basically all the tribes are hunting or picking collectively, even the wandering savages will live together in groups, unless they are forced to wander alone.
Xiao Yan's hunting ability is indeed the best in the tribe, but most people are not optimistic about them, after all, no one will leave the tribe to hunt alone.
The next day, Shen Xiaoxiao and the two got up and ate some fruits casually, and the others had already gone hunting or picking, so she changed into an animal skin skirt and took Sanqi outside to dry, "Don't take it away, I'm useful." Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to take away the firewood, Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly shouted, "These are the ones I used to make the door, so put them here first." ”
"Door?" Xiao Yan was puzzled, and obediently put the firewood back in place.
"Let's go, let's go cut some reeds and come back." If there are no nails, she can only use reeds or vines to tie them, and she feels that it should be better to use rattans, but she didn't see them yesterday, so now she has to use reeds to do it first.
Although the reeds in autumn are not as prosperous as in spring, they are still elegant, swaying in patches of reeds, and the white reeds swaying in the wind like clusters of light feathers.
Soon the two cut a lot of reeds, Xiao Yan got up and walked back, Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to help but was refused, "Xiaoxiao, I said I would raise you." ”
Shen Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "It's not a heavy job, I can do it, and besides, I can't watch you busy alone." Since she decided to live with him, she naturally wouldn't be a shopkeeper.
Who would have thought that Xiao Yan should be confident, "Well, I will work in the future, you just need to be happy, and I will do the rest." ”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise, he didn't know what to say for a while, it was the first time he had experienced this kind of thing, and he didn't know how to respond.
The others looked at Xiao Yan with the reed on his back and looked surprised, and said curiously, "Xiao Yan, what are you carrying this grass on?" "But I'm muttering in my heart, could it be that I can't hunt the prey and start grazing?
"It works." Xiao Yan was concise, and the others quipped, "Do you think you can't hunt your prey and eat grass instead?" After saying that, they laughed, and the others also echoed and joked, although they didn't believe Shen Xiaoxiao, but Xiao Yan and they were still very optimistic, but they didn't expect him to do such an impulsive thing, and he didn't even hunt with the tribe.
Even if he is good at hunting, it is really difficult for him to hunt prey when he goes into the mountains alone, maybe he will eat grass because he knows that he can't catch prey.
"This is naturally not for food, Xiao Yan's hunting ability must not be said by me, you also know, even if he can't hit big prey, but can't he beat some small prey? How could everyone think that after just one night, Xiao Yan was going to be reduced to eating grass? ”
Everyone's faces were a little embarrassed, but soon someone said sharply, "What are you talking to Xiao Yan about?" Without waiting for Shen Xiaoxiao to speak, Xiao Yan said, "Grandpa Yuanqiao, Xiaoxiao is my female, and my affairs are naturally related to her, so please don't say such things to Grandpa Yuanqiao in the future." ”
Grandpa Yuan Qiao looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief, "You're going to fight against me for her?" "Grandpa Yuan Qiao has always looked at Shen Xiaoxiao unpleasantly, especially when he saw that Xiao Yan wanted to break away from the tribe for her, if it wasn't for the witch doctor to dissuade him later, he might have started to beat Xiao Yan.
These wandering savages are really uneasy and kind, and it has only been a long time since Xiao Yan has been able to confront him, what a good child Xiao Yan was before, but now he has become disrespectful, and she is all harmed.
"It's not a confrontation, it's a fact, Xiaoxiao is my female, everything about me is related to her, and she can also participate." Xiao Yan's eyes were calm, and he said unhurriedly, and Grandpa Yuan Qiao was also half angry with his attitude, and his hands trembling when he pointed at Xiao Yan.
Shen Xiaoxiao was frightened, for fear that he would be angry, and then she would be a sinner.
"Don't get excited, what's so bad about being really angry, it's you who is uncomfortable." Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, what are you doing so excitedly at such an old age?
Grandpa Yuan Qiao was even more angry when he heard Shen Xiaoxiao's voice, but he was not as excited as he was just now, "It's all your fault." ”
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, blame me." Shen Xiaoxiao has a good attitude of admitting her mistakes, the other party is so old, she really doesn't need to say anything to stimulate him, and he is also so excited because he cares about Xiao Yan.
Besides, it's not good for her to really be popular, so why would she do such a thing that harms others and herself.
