Chapter 52: Will She Teach Us?
Xiao Yan thought that he couldn't survive that winter, but he didn't expect that after the winter passed, they went into the mountains to hunt and met him again, this time he had a lot of new wounds on his body, and even his eyes were full of defense, Xiao Yan didn't know what he had experienced, but he showed them the way in winter, and he had compassion for Ah Shu, and took the initiative to give him some prey.
Later, it was also very logical, Xiao Yan gave him food, and he would sometimes take Xiao Yan to hunt where he saw the prey, and they would give him some of the prey.
Even if Ah Shu didn't lead the way, Xiao Yan would often give him some prey so that he could live, but the amount he gave was not very much, after all, he hunted with the tribe, and it was impossible to take everyone's hard work as a good person, so he often gave Ah Shu some birds, although there was not much meat, but at least it could ensure that he would not be hungry.
At first, Ah Shu was still very defensive, but slowly he let go of the guard in his heart, he couldn't hit the prey, so he would pick some wild fruits for Xiao Yan.
After a few years like this, Ah Shu later lived with other wandering savages, although Xiao Yan was worried that he would be bullied, but the tribe was unwilling to let Ah Shu join, so he had to let him go.
Ah Shu will often send him some wild fruits, but he doesn't want to give food to Ah Shu, saying that he can eat enough now, so he doesn't have to worry about him.
Because they wandered savages had no fixed residence, the last time he saw Ah Shu was three months ago, but he didn't expect him to be like this when they met him again.
Just now he forgot to ask Ah Shu why he was here, why he was alone.
Although Shen Xiaoxiao had already guessed, he was not very surprised after learning about it, after all, if he had a family, he would not be so embarrassed.
"What is this?" They returned to the tribe, and the people who stayed in the tribe asked curiously, this thing looked familiar.
"Isn't this an astringent fruit? Xiao Yan, what are you doing picking so many astringent fruits? Someone recognized what it was, and asked strangely, no one eats this thing, what are they doing with so much? And what is used to hold astringent fruits? It can hold so much at once, and this thing still looks a little familiar.
"Xiao Yan, you shouldn't let the goddess eat astringent fruit, right?" As soon as these words came out, the others also stared at him with burning eyes, as if as long as he said yes, they would immediately crusade against him.
"This one can be eaten." Xiao Yan said unhurriedly, "It's not astringent, it's still very sweet." He put the basket down, took a few more and divided them out, "Don't eat the skin, you can eat it, it's not astringent." ”
The others looked at each other, obviously not believing what Xiao Yan said, Shen Xiaoxiao took one, broke the pedicle, pinched the middle with his thumb and divided it into two halves, and then separated half of it, and then took a bite and said, "You can eat it, you can try it." ”
After a pause, "That tree has a lot of knots, if it suits your taste, you can pick some and eat it." ”
It is impossible for the two of them to eat the persimmons of a tree, even if they can make persimmons, but it is very difficult to deal with, at most they will go to pick another day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will go to pick chestnuts, and it will take a day to burn pottery, so that everything is alive.
The others took a suspicious bite, and then their eyes lit up, and they looked at each other in disbelief...... I can really eat it, how much they wasted before, and my heart is full of regret when I think about it.
"We're going into the mountains, so we won't talk to you yet." Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile, and Xiao Yan put the persimmons in the cave, these are all made into persimmons, and it will be troublesome to take them when they are put inside.
"Take a sip of water." Shen Xiaoxiao handed him the water cup, this water is directly filled with water from the river, although she feels unhygienic, but now the conditions are like this, she can only adapt.
After Xiao Yan finished drinking the water, he handed the water cup back to her, and Shen Xiaoxiao said while covering it with a lid, "When the pot is boiled, you can boil hot water and drink it then, and you won't drink cold water in the future." ”
"Hmm." Although he didn't know why he wanted to drink hot water, Xiao Yan was used to listening to Shen Xiaoxiao every day.
The two of them put the persimmons away and walked out of the cave, as soon as they appeared, the people who stayed in the tribe instantly surrounded them, "Xiao Yan, what are you taking here?" Someone pointed to the basket on his shoulder.
"This is a basket for things."
"How?" Some people couldn't help but touch it, and their eyes lit up even more after looking at the depth, if they also had this thing, wouldn't it be much more convenient to pick it in the future?
"It's made of rattan." He added, "I'm going up the mountain with Xiaoxiao, so I'll go first." ”
Although the others were curious, Xiao Yan had already pulled Shen Xiaoxiao away.
"You say how Xiao Yan has so many things? I know that astringent fruits can be eaten, and I still know what to weave, and baskets are used to hold things. ”
"I think eighty percent of it was the goddess who told him, otherwise how would he know."
"Yes, the goddess is from the beast god, so she may know what we don't know."
"You say that if we let the goddess teach us how to make it, would she be willing?" This thing has a great effect on the tribe, and they naturally want to learn, after all, it will be much more convenient for their tribe to pick or hunt.
Especially when they go to picking, they sometimes go to a farther place, but they can only bring back a little wild fruit, and if they have a basket, then they can bring back more things.
"But our attitude towards the goddess was so bad before, is she willing to teach us?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet, thinking that they had rejected Shen Xiaoxiao so much before, and they had spoken ill of her, and even wanted to drive her out of the tribe, how could she be willing to teach them.
If they were treated like this, they wouldn't want to.
But the benefits of this basket to the tribe are really great, and they are not willing to let them give up so much.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know what they were thinking, at this time she had just arrived at the persimmon tree, but found that there were many more persimmon branches hanging on the ground, she looked up and found that Ah Shu was smiling at them with a mouthful of teeth, "Sister, Brother Yan." ”
Shen Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, how did he run up the tree, and thinking of the injury on his foot, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, "Didn't I tell you to take care of it?" ”
Ah Shu didn't care and said, "Sister, I'm fine." "Actually, it still hurts a little, but it's nothing compared to before, and when it hurt more than now, he had to follow others to hunt, so that's what makes it difficult.
"You come down first." Shen Xiaoxiao shouted, "Hurry up." ”
Although Ah Shu was unwilling, seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao seemed unhappy, he still climbed down slowly, "Sister." ”
Shen Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was intact, "Don't do it next time, let you take care of your injuries, what do you do when you climb up and down?" "If you have to do this, forget it, the key is to help her, it's completely unnecessary, there are many persimmons on this tree, and it won't take long for the two of them to fill two baskets.
Of course, she is not the kind of person who does not appreciate it, but she feels sorry that he has lived such a life without a fixed place at such a young age, and now she is still dragging her injury to help her pick persimmons.
