Chapter 53: Goji Berries
Before they went back, they picked some persimmons and put them under the tree, plus Ah Shu picked them, so they didn't have to go up the tree to pick them again, they could just pack the bottom and take them back.
Originally, Shen Xiaoxiao also pretended to be with her, but Xiao Yan and Ah Shu asked her to rest, but she couldn't resist them, and she didn't insist, and after telling them, she walked around.
Shen Xiaoxiao walked aimlessly, suddenly a touch of red came into view, she turned around and walked over, her eyes were surprised, it turned out to be wolfberry, and they were all ripe, the long branches were full of red fruits, Shen Xiaoxiao picked a grain and tasted it, her eyes lit up, she didn't expect it to be so sweet.
She looked around, and saw that there was a tree with very large leaves, about the size of her palm, she went over and picked a few, wiped the dust on them, and then connected the leaves with small branches into a box, and the places where the leaves were connected were interspersed with small branches, although it did not look firm, but it was not a problem to decorate things, and in order to stabilize it, she made two layers.
Shen Xiaoxiao returned to the wolfberry tree with a box made of leaves, and quickly picked the wolfberries into the leaf box.
Don't look at this leaf box is only the size of a palm, but she hasn't filled it for a long time, Xiao Yan and the two of them packed persimmons to find her, and she only picked most of them.
"Sister, what is this?" Ah Shu asked curiously, why does it seem that his sister wants everything, and that astringent fruit is only known when his sister said that she can eat Xiao Yan, and now what is this red fruit?
"Goji berries, they can be soaked in water and drunk when they are dried." Shen Xiaoxiao stopped his movements and said, "It has the effect of nourishing the liver and kidneys and brightening the eye." ”
"Pick some more." Although he didn't understand, since his sister wanted it, he would pick more of it, anyway, there were a lot of these things.
"No need, let's post these first." Shen Xiaoxiao shook his head and looked at Xiao Yan again, "Are we going back now?" ”
"Well, after taking the persimmons back, I'll fight some prey with Ah Shu." Xiao Yan nodded, they originally ate fish, but since they saw Ah Shu, they naturally had to take him into account, not to mention that he was still injured, so he had to hunt some prey for him to deal with for two days.
Just now he also learned that Ah Shu is no longer with other wanderers, because they often rob other people's things, and then are chased by others, Ah Shu doesn't want to live this kind of life, so he simply left them.
But he didn't expect that he would encounter a wild boar and be injured.
He can't bring Ah Shu back to the tribe, so he can only help him as much as he can.
"Then let's go back quickly, or it will be too late." He said, "Is Ah Shu waiting for you here or going down the mountain with us?" ”
"I'm waiting for Brother Yan here." Ah Shu hurriedly said.
"Okay, pay more attention to yourself, and run away if you don't feel right." He also advised, "Also, you have to pay more attention, you still have to pay more attention now." ”
"I see." Ah Shu hurriedly responded, and he didn't feel that Shen Xiaoxiao was verbose, this was the first time he had been nagged, and it was quite fresh.
Shen Xiaoxiao explained two more sentences, and the two of them went down the mountain.
The two returned to the tribe to put their things away, and Xiao Yan left again without stopping.
Looking at the wolfberries in her hand, Shen Xiaoxiao weaved the remaining reeds into a small dustpan and spread the wolfberries on it to dry.
They were all a little surprised when they saw two baskets of persimmons at the entrance of the cave, how did they pick so many astringent fruits and come back?
The key is what they use to hold astringent fruits, looking like they can really hold them, can they bring back so many astringent fruits at one time?
Although they were curious about why Shen Xiaoxiao had picked so many astringent fruits, what attracted them more was the basket used to hold the astringent fruits.
Soon someone reacted, "Goddess, is this something you made up yesterday?" ”
"It looks like it can hold a lot of things."
"If we go and pick something this big, we can bring back more food."
For a while, they all discussed around the baskets, their eyes full of joy and envy, and they could see that they liked both baskets very much.
"Goddess, what are you doing picking so many astringent fruits?"
She was already very skilled in this question, calmly picked up a few and gave them a few points, and told them how to eat, the moment they ate it, they only felt amazing, and couldn't believe it, is this really the astringent fruit they are familiar with? Why is it so sweet, not astringent at all, is it because the goddess exerts her divine power to make the astringent fruit not astringent?
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know what they were thinking, otherwise she would only feel speechless, if she had this ability, she still needed to live this kind of bitter life?
"Goddess, can you teach us?" Suddenly, there was a humane, and the scene fell silent, and everyone stared at her with burning eyes, some of them full of apprehension.
Shen Xiaoxiao was a little hesitant, after all, her time was still very tight, and she had a lot to do, but thinking that she was kidnapped by Li Chuan, they all went to find her, although they did not have a good attitude towards her at first, but it was excusable, and she would be the same, although it was not so obvious as it was, but she must be wary in her heart.
In the few seconds when Shen Xiaoxiao hesitated, everyone's hearts were raised, afraid that she would refuse, and wanted to say something, but thinking of the way they treated the goddess at the beginning, no one spoke again.
"Yes, you have to go and cut some vines yourself." Shen Xiaoxiao said calmly, of course she can refuse, but she and Xiao Yan still have to live in the tribe, it is impossible to offend everyone in the tribe, maybe they won't say anything at first, but they will be more or less uncomfortable in their hearts, and finally see them easily bring things back, but they need to go a few times, and the things they worked hard to get back are not as much as they get back at one time, how can you guarantee that they won't resent in their hearts at that time?
Perhaps they will take into account her status as a "goddess", but how long can this concern last? When they find out that their "goddess" does not protect them, will they still be afraid?
She has a good relationship with Ah Xiang's family, if they want to learn, she will not fail to teach, when the tribesmen ask them, they will definitely teach, and when the time comes, she will offend them cleanly, and in the end they still learn, so why bother.
The most important thing is that they didn't substantially hurt her, even if she lived in the tribe, they acquiesced, although it was for Xiao Yan, but they still compromised, and when she was in danger, they all went out to find her, she had to accept this love, if it wasn't for Qingshan and they took people to go, only Xiao Yan alone, she might not be able to come back, maybe she is still wandering with Li Chuan, and she has really become a wandering savage.
It is a good thing to teach them to weave baskets, so that the tribe will slowly develop, and the power of one person is limited after all, and she hopes that what she has learned can help them, mainly to help her.
The tribe is strong, and other people who want to come and grab things have to weigh it, and generally speaking, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages, and teaching them to make baskets will not lose her, but on the contrary, it will make them trust her more.
