Farming in the Primitive Tribe

Chapter 52 Is she willing to teach us?

Xiao Yan thought he wouldn't survive that winter, but he didn't expect that after the winter passed, they went hunting in the mountains and met him again. This time he had many new wounds on his body, and even his eyes were full of defense. Xiao Yan didn't know What he had gone through, but remembering that he had led them the way in winter, he felt compassion for Ashu and took the initiative to give him some prey.

What happened afterwards was very logical. Xiao Yan gave him some food. He would sometimes take Xiao Yan to hunt where he saw prey, and they would share some with him after they caught the prey.

Even if Ashu didn't lead the way, Xiao Yan would often give him some prey to keep him alive, but the amount he gave was not a lot. After all, he hunted with the tribe, and he couldn't take everyone's hard work to be a good person, so What he often gave Ashu were some birds. Although there wasn't much meat, it at least ensured that he wouldn't go hungry.

At first, Ashu was very defensive, but slowly he let down his guard. If he couldn't catch any prey, he would pick some wild fruits for Xiao Yan.

After a few years like this, Ashu later lived with other wandering savages. Although Xiao Yan was worried that he would be bullied, the tribe was unwilling to let Ashu join, so he had to let him go.

Ashu would often give him some wild fruits, but he wouldn't take any food he gave to Ashu, saying that he could eat enough now and didn't need to worry about him.

Because they were wandering savages without a fixed residence, the last time he saw Ashu was three months ago. He didn't expect that he would be like this when he met again.

Just now, he forgot to ask why Ashu was here and why he was alone.

Although Shen Xiaoxiao had already guessed it, he wasn't too surprised after learning about it. After all, if he had a family, he wouldn't be in such a mess.

"What is this?" When they returned to the tribe, 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 picking so many? And what is used to hold astringent fruits? It can hold so much at one time, and this thing looks familiar.

"Xiao Yan, are you asking the goddess to eat the astringent fruit?" As soon as he said this, the others stared at him with burning eyes, as if they would attack him immediately if he said yes.

"This is edible." Xiao Yan said calmly, "It's not astringent, and it's still very sweet." He put the basket down, took a few more and handed them out, "Don't eat the skin, it's edible, and it's not astringent."

The others looked at each other in confusion, obviously not believing what Xiao Yan said. Shen Xiaoxiao took one, broke the stem apart, pinched the middle with his thumbs and divided it into two halves, then separated one half, then took a bite and said, " It’s edible, you can give it a try.”

After a pause, he said, "That tree has a lot of fruit. If it suits your taste, you can pick some and eat them."

It is impossible for the two of them to eat all the persimmons from a tree. Even if they can be made into persimmons, it will take a lot of effort to process. The most they can do is pick another day tomorrow, and they will pick chestnuts the day after tomorrow. It takes a day to make pottery, so thinking about it means living everywhere.

The others took a bite with suspicion, then their eyes lit up and they looked at each other in disbelief. This... was really edible. How much they had wasted before. Thinking of this, they felt full of regret.

"We have to go into the mountain, so I won't talk to you anymore." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled, and she and Xiao Yan put the persimmons in the cave. These are all to be made into persimmons. It will be troublesome to take them out when they are placed in the cave.

"Drink some water." Shen Xiaoxiao handed him the water cup. The water was directly filled with water from the river. Although she felt it was unhygienic, the current conditions were like this and she could only adapt to it.

After Xiao Yan finished drinking the water, he handed the cup back to her. Shen Xiaoxiao covered it with a lid and said, "When the pot is boiled, you can boil hot water and drink it. I won't drink cold water anymore."

"Yeah." Although Xiao Yan didn't know why he wanted to drink hot water, he was used to listening to Shen Xiaoxiao every day.

The two put the persimmons away and left the cave. As soon as they appeared, the people who stayed in the tribe immediately gathered around them. "Xiao Yan, what are you holding here?" someone pointed at the basket on his shoulder.

"This is a basket for carrying things."

"How is it made?" Someone couldn't help but touch it, and their eyes lit up after seeing the depth. If they also had this thing, wouldn't it be much easier to pick it in the future?

"It's made of rattan." He added, "Xiaoxiao and I have to go up the mountain, so we have to leave first."

Although others were curious, Xiao Yan had already pulled Shen Xiaoxiao away.

"Why do you think Xiao Yan has so many things? He knows that astringent fruits can be eaten, and now he still knows how to knit baskets to hold things."

"I think it's probably the goddess who told him. How else would he know."

"Yes, the goddess comes from the beast god. She may know something that we don't."

"You said that if we asked the goddess to teach us weaving, would she be willing?" This thing is of great use to the tribe, and they naturally want to learn it. After all, it will be much more convenient for their tribe to pick or hunt.

Especially when picking, they sometimes go far away, but can only bring back a few wild fruits. If they have a basket, they can bring back a lot more.

"But our attitude towards the goddess was so bad before, is she willing to teach us?" As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, thinking that they had rejected Shen Xiaoxiao so much before, and even said bad words to her, and even wanted to drive her out. Tribe, how could she be willing to teach them.

If they were treated like this, they would definitely not want to.

But this basket is of great benefit to the tribe, and they are not willing to give it up like this.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know what they were thinking. At this time, she had just arrived at the persimmon tree, but she found that there were many branches with persimmons hanging on the ground. She looked up and found Ashu baring his teeth and smiling at them, " Sister, Brother Yan."

Shen Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, why did he run into the tree, and then thought of the injury on his foot, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, "Didn't I tell you to take good care of him?"

Ashu said nonchalantly, "Sister, I'm fine." In fact, it still hurts a little, but compared to the previous pain, it was nothing. When it hurt more than it does now, he had to go hunting with others, and that was difficult. .

"You come down first." Shen Xiaoxiao shouted, "Hurry up."

Although Ashu didn't want to, seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao seemed unhappy, he still climbed down slowly, "Sister."

Shen Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was intact, "Don't do that next time. Just take good care of your injuries. What are you doing climbing up and down?" If you have no choice but to do it, forget it. The key is to help you. She didn't need it at all. There were a lot of persimmons on this tree, and it wouldn't take long for the two of them to pick two full baskets.

Of course, she wasn't the ungrateful kind of person, she just felt sorry for him living such a life of no fixed abode at such a young age, and now he was still helping her pick persimmons despite his injuries.
