Chapter 37: Charcoal
Lai is a bastard, he lost Abba Eminem when he was very young, no one cares about him all day long, he eats and plays tricks, and there are no girls in the tribe who don't hate him.
This time, he took Huzi and Ah Gou out with the team, just to take the opportunity to make some benefits.
I never expected that just after leaving the tribe, I encountered this unfortunate thing!
Ah Lai was slightly injured, but Huzi and Ah Gou were seriously injured, especially Ah Gou, who had a big cut on his back by a sawtooth ant, and he lost a lot of blood, and he fainted in pain!
"I'm gone, I'm gone, whoever you love, you're going!" said Alaisappo aloud.
Who? Nuan Nuan looked over curiously. The gossip attracted a lot of onlookers, and Ah Yang pulled the people out of the crowd and looked angry, "Why don't you go? ”
"Isn't it just collecting seeds! That's what women do! Lao Tzu is a man!" Alai was very arrogant.
That's your answer. Ah Yang was furious. "Why didn't you say it earlier? Now you're out and tell me this? I think you owe it to clean up—"
Mo mysteriously appeared beside Ah Yang, and he calmly held down Ah Yang's fist that was already waving in the air.
He looked around with a calm gaze, "Who else wants to go back with him?" hurry up as soon as possible, it's not far from the tribe now, you can leave now if you want to leave!"
"Amo ——!" Ayang was anxious.
The surrounding area could be heard by falling pins, and the silence was terrifying.
Huzi and Ah Gou looked at the boss with a cower, they didn't dare!
Alai shouted: "It's only the first night that we have encountered such a dangerous beast, what about tonight? What about tomorrow? We have to go back and forth for two months! Brothers, it's not two days! Maybe we will all die on the road before we get back! Just for the so-called gathering, it's ridiculous! We don't have enough dead people, right?!"
A seat said that many people's hearts went to the heart. The crowd bowed their heads and remained silent.
"Are you finished?" said indifferently.
Alai was dismissive.
Mo jumped onto a large rock and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, I do not deny what Alai said, as he said, our journey must be full of dangers, even death. But this is our mission!!The tribe needs us!!Think of your mates, think of your yellow-skinned children, they are all waiting for us to bring back new food and herbs!"
Everyone's eyes gradually regained their fighting spirit, Mo felt relieved, and continued: "Nuan Nuan, the most sacred witch doctor in our tribe! In addition to healing and saving people, she can also cook delicious food and help us make new weapons! She thinks about how to make the tribe better every day! She is still like this as a woman, how can we a group of big men lose?!" Mo said impassionedly.
The crowd burst into tears with excitement: "Can't lose! Can't lose! Can't lose————"
"Are you still afraid of death?!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid ——"
Mo then exhaled lightly, Nuan Nuan looked at his man's high-spirited appearance, happily blossomed, and gave him a thumbs up without hesitation.
I don't understand their secret words, my face is thunderous, but my heart is very open.
He turned his head to stare at Alai, who was leaning on the tree, looking like a ruffian, his stray hair obscuring his gaze and expression, and no one knew what he was up to.
Fortunately, the clansmen have regained their vitality when they first set off, and the atmosphere has become more and more lively.
Nuan Nuan continued to treat the seriously injured patients attentively, and the pots and pots of decoction were emptied, and when night fell, more than half of the more than 20 seriously injured were turned into minor injuries.
Nuan Nuan is a little happy, maybe it's the benefits brought by the gift of the wood elf!
"Nuan Nuan, Nuan Nuan, those lumps of dirt are no longer moving!" Ah Yang ran over and said hurriedly.
"Don't worry, it's fine. With a few empty baskets, let's go over and have a look. "Nuan Nuan is a little excited, the first time she burned charcoal in the other world, she didn't see it as a failure!
Mo and Nuan Nuan were surrounded by a group of people who watched the excitement and came to the lump here, and the top layer of the lump had been burned and dried up a lot.
Nuan Nuan took a small hoe and carefully picked up the top dry soil slag, and pieces of black charcoal appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"Come on, help take out all this black charcoal and put it in the back basket. Nuan Nuan shouted excitedly.
The crowd flocked to the city, and it wasn't long before the charcoal filled five large baskets.
The people were puzzled, this black thing didn't look like food! Could it be a seed? No!
Ah Yang asked curiously, "Nuan Nuan, what is this charcoal for?"
"Good question!" Nuan Nuan explained cheerfully, "These are charcoal." They're the way I do in the morning, and they're a good substitute for the firewood we usually use. ”
"But, there's no need, it takes so long to burn charcoal, and the meat is all baked!"
"Yes, yes," the crowd agreed.
"I haven't gotten to the point yet. First, charcoal is much lighter than firewood, which is easy to carry, and the role of charcoal is particularly important in rainy days or places where there is no firewood. Second, if you look closely at the charcoal, you will find that there are many small holes on it, which make the charcoal easier to ignite, and burn longer than wood, the fire is more intense, and there is no smoke. Nuan Nuan paused.
"What else?" the eyes of the crowd grew brighter and brighter as they listened.
"Thirdly, and it's important, if we can find iron, copper, or other ores, we can make extremely tough weapons out of charcoal. ”
As soon as they heard the weapon, all the men boiled, charcoal was so useful!
"Also...... Anything else?" Ah Yang stuttered.
"One last point, ahem......"
The crowd stretched out their ears.
"The food cooked over charcoal is more fragrant and tastier than that of a wood-fired fire. ”
It is better to act than to move, and he dragged a basket full of charcoal to the camp where the food was cooked, and everyone saw that the bees were chrysalis......
Except for the more than 20 tribesmen on patrol, the rest of the people gathered together curiously, staring at the rising charcoal fire on the ground.
The stone arched Ah Yang, "What's the difference between this fire and our previous ones?"
Ah Yang rolled his eyes: "You can't even see it so obviously? ”
"Look, Nuan Nuan is about to start cooking dinner for the patrol again. Hurry up, or there won't be a good spot later. Ah Yang urged. The stone was so anxious that he almost tripped and scrambled to follow.
"This charcoal-grilled meat does smell so good! It's a pity, if only I could go on patrol, I can eat the taste of my dreams!" many people lamented.
Ah Lai and Ah Gou Huzi sat on the edge and ate barbecue meat at will, "Brother Lai, you smell it, this is so fragrant! I really want to eat it!" Ah Gou said pitifully, Ah Dog and Huzi are poor orphans, and they have relied on each other for all these years to barely wrap their stomachs.
"Eat it, you! It's good to have some to eat! It's not been a day or two since we've been squeezed out, Brother Alai understands that we want to go back together, but what about them?" Huzi said indignantly.
Ah Gou stopped saying a word when he heard this, lowered his head and silently gnawed on the roasted ass in his hand.
Lai didn't say a word from beginning to end, and kept a low profile as at the beginning.
His expression was masked by his thick hair and beard, and his face was facing in the direction of the camp, not knowing what he was thinking.
