Their tribe lived behind the mountain. When the warriors of the tribe came back from hunting, they smelled the smell of the forest and found someone here. They came to take a look.
Jiang Li stepped forward and communicated with them for a long time, and then they understood that the four of them had no ill intentions toward them.
I know that they are people from the Yaoshan tribe who came out to look for food seeds.
Yao Xiaoqing stepped forward and asked what seeds their tribe had. If there were seeds that the Yaoshan tribe did not have, she was willing to exchange them with them.
After gesticulating for a long time, the leader finally understood what she meant.
After asking the two of them to go back and get some seeds, Yao Xiaoqing found that the crops grown by the tribes here were similar to theirs, including millet, beans...
She thought about it and grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds from the bag and gave them to them, and then showed them how to plant them.
After talking for a long time, those people finally understood. The leader was dubious about what Yao Xiaoqing said and casually handed the seeds to the warriors around him.
Seeing that they didn't care about pumpkin seeds, Heiba gestured to them dissatisfiedly: "These seeds require the meat of three muttons. Qingwubai gives them to you. You must plant them well."
After that, he went to the basket and took out the sample pumpkin to show them.
"Oh~oh!"
A dozen men exclaimed in surprise, staring at the pumpkin held by Heiba for a moment with their eyes wide open, and started talking among themselves.
The leading man looked at the pumpkin and pointed at the pumpkin seeds in his hand, and asked Yao Xiaoqing if such seeds grew.
Yao Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, and a group of people excitedly bowed to a few people and walked away with pumpkin seeds in their hands.
The four of them sat down and continued to eat. As soon as they finished eating, they started to clean up. The leading man came over with three other men carrying a bag. He handed the bag to Heiba and pointed to his mouth, indicating that the food inside was edible.
Yes, after gesticulating, the four of them left.
When Heiba opened the leather bag, he smelled a refreshing fruity aroma. Inside the bag was a red fruit the size of a bird's egg, which made one's mouth water just looking at it.
He carried the bag back to the animal skin mat and said, "Qing Wu, leader, look at what it is? It smells so good!"
Yao Xiaoqing and Jiang Li took one and looked at it for a while, then shook their heads together, "I haven't seen it before."
Heiba looked at the two of them, "That person said this thing is for food!"
Jiang Li opened it and took a look. The flesh inside was pink and tender, and it was different from any fruit they had ever seen.
"It should be edible. They should be thanking us for giving them pumpkins."
As he said this, he took it to the ditch and washed it. After putting it in his mouth and eating it, he felt that it was fragrant and sweet and quenched his thirst.
Jiang Li washed a few more and handed them to Yao Xiaoqing, "It tastes good, you should try it too."
Yao Xiaoqing felt the same after eating it.
The four of them stayed at the foot of the mountain for two days, searched everywhere in the valley, and continued on their way after finding no trace of rice.
It was hot and humid in the forest in June. Within two hours of walking, I felt sticky all over.
I walked in the forest for more than ten days, got caught in two rains, and met two tribes. After communicating with each other, I still found no trace of rice.
Yao Xiaoqing gave them some pumpkin seeds in exchange for a bag of dried meat.
Two days later, the four people went down the mountain and were blocked by a large river. Standing on the bank of the river, they saw that the river was vast and crystal clear. The sun shone on the broad river. The water rippled and shone like broken silver.
The bottom is clear.
If you stand by the river and look carefully, you can see the gravel on the bottom of the river and the large and small fish swimming in the water.
There are towering trees on both sides of the river, with thick leaves and vines hanging upside down on the river. There are red and yellow... wild flowers blooming. Both sides of the river bank look like colorful barriers dotted with flowers.
Heiba picked up a stone and threw it into the river. With a splash, there were ripples on the surface of the river. Frightened wild birds all flew into the sky, hovering and singing on the river, and occasionally swooped down and flapped the water with their bright wings.
A breeze blew, and the wild flowers on both sides of the river swayed gently in the wind, as if they were in a fairy tale world.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her and felt a little depressed when she thought that it had been almost a month since she came out and she didn't even see the shadow of rice. She began to suspect that rice had not yet appeared in this time and space.
Jiang Li looked at Yao Xiaoqing standing on the shore and felt her frustration. He put down his backpack and walked over, looking at her softly.
"Xiao Qing, we will stay here for a few days and take a look around. I think there may be rice on the border near the water."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Okay, let's stay here for a few days and look around."
Jiang Li put the backpacks together and said, "You have a rest for a while. We'll cut down some shrubs and palm leaves and come back to build a tree house. We'll have a good rest for two days before going to search nearby."
After hearing this, Yao Xiaoqing felt that what he said made sense. Just searching around the world without any goal was not the answer.
"Okay, I'll collect firewood and look for wormwood, and you guys can chop down trees and build a treehouse." After that, he picked up the machete and started looking for wormwood.
There are so many mosquitoes in the forest and they are poisonous. If you are bitten, a big lump will swell up instantly. If you are not smoked with mugwort, you may be bitten to death by mosquitoes.
Fortunately, there were a lot of them by the river. After beating the lush weeds and vines with a long wooden stick, Yao Xiaoqing looked around vigilantly until the rustling noise disappeared, then he picked up the machete and chopped down a large bundle of mugwort.
He was tied with vines and dragged to the place where Jiang Li was going to build a tree house. He started to collect firewood. There were a lot of dead branches falling in the forest. After a while, a lot of them were picked up and piled together.
Blow the fire sticks to light the twigs and light the bonfire, and then gather the wormwood upright next to the bonfire. After the wormwood is roasted by the bonfire, it emits bursts of fragrance.
She also picked up some mushrooms and a dozen wild duck eggs in the forest and put them in her backpack. Looking at the big birds perching by the river, she went back with her bow and arrows and shot them.
After shooting three birds in succession, Yao Xiaoqing stopped, picked up the wild birds with red legs and colorful feathers, cleaned them by the river, spread salt and seasoning on them, picked a few palm leaves and wrapped them, and dug some mud.
wrapped.
I found a few stones, surrounded a simple earthen stove, took out the firewood sticks, lit the firewood, and put it into the stove. When the fire became big, I put the waterfowl wrapped in mud into the fire.
Wash the wild duck eggs, dig them into some mud, wrap them up, and burn them in the fire. The cooked duck eggs are more fragrant than boiled ones.
Jiang Li took Heiba and Daliang, found some small trees with thick arms, chopped them down, and shaved off the branches. He and Heiba climbed to a big tree that only a dozen people could hug, and cut off the thick branches on the tree.
, prepare to build the tree house on it,
Da Liang raised the wooden stick from below and passed it to the two of them.
The two people used flexible rattan to tie the wooden sticks one by one in the middle of the thick tree forks. They first laid the bottom layer with thick wooden sticks, and then began to tie the surrounding wooden sticks.
Jiang Li turned his head to look at Yao Xiaoqing from time to time, and only felt relieved to work when he saw her nearby.
