Chapter 609 The Huangguo tribe who wants to join the Qingque tribe
The emergence of improved paper made the three magic sticks of different sizes in the Qingque tribe excited.
After staying here for a while and confirming that the previous method was feasible, Shitou turned around and got into the heavy snow again, running back to the cave to boil the retting bark with water.
He wants to make better paper!
Han Cheng and Wu stayed in the room for a while and put away the pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table. They both walked into the wind and snow, and walked towards the cave to see the stone paper making...
The two of them looked at the large pottery vat that was burned by the flames with burning eyes.
However, the things they were thinking about were completely different. One was thinking about getting better paper and re-recording everything recorded on the ceramic tablet, while the other was thinking about taking the paper into the toilet.
Those ancient sages who valued paper very much, if they knew the thoughts in this guy's head, they would scratch the coffin lid and want to teach this guy a lesson for wasting good things...
The time was pushed forward two days, and the location was changed to the Huangguo Tribe, which was a certain distance away from the Qingque Tribe.
The Huangguo tribe in winter, like most tribes in this era, lacked vitality.
We can't blame them. The cold weather prevents them from going out. The cats have been inactive in the cave for a long time, making their bodies stiff, sluggish and weak, as if they were completely frozen by the cold weather.
It's generally sealed.
Moreover, the long period of frugality in food and clothing has made them all thinner. There is not much food in their stomachs, making them even weaker and weaker.
The pottery jar that was set up was steaming out, and the fragrance of the food was spreading in the cave, attracting everyone's attention.
After cooking like this for a while, the leader of the Huangguo tribe walked to the pottery jar and couldn't wait to serve himself a large bowl of food with a spoon.
When he was serving rice, he reached the bottom of the bowl with his spoon and did not move quickly.
After several years of experience using clay pots, he realized that thicker food could be served in this way.
Compared with hot soup, this kind of food makes you feel fuller and less hungry.
The food is millet porridge. Compared with the thick and golden millet porridge cooked by the Qingque tribe, the millet porridge of the Huangguo tribe does not look very good.
Because there are some other things mixed in these porridges.
These are the few fruits left in their tribe, and some of them have gone bad.
This golden food was obtained in exchange for the tribe that owned deer, precious salt and pottery after they came here two days ago.
Fortunately, the tribe arrived at this time, otherwise, the next days for them would have been extremely difficult.
Because there was not much food left in their tribe, even though they had eaten very frugally.
At this time, there are still no signs that winter is about to pass.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe, who was worried about this, had already made plans to take his people out to try their luck in the severe cold.
Even if you do this, it may cause frostbite to many people or freeze to death directly.
It was under such circumstances that the kind and wealthy tribesman came with the deer and the wolf.
The deer they were leading carried on its back not only salt and pottery, but also food that seemed very precious at this time.
If possible, the leader of the Huangguo tribe would definitely exchange all the food brought by this kind-hearted tribe member.
But this is obviously an idea that cannot be realized.
Because in their tribe, there are not many things that can be used for exchange.
After several previous transactions, most of the common stones and seeds around the tribe had been exchanged for salt and pottery.
It is not easy to find new stones and seeds.
As for the yellow fruits that were very popular among the people of that tribe, they had already exchanged them for them as early as last year, and there was nothing left in the tribe.
These few yellow foods were obtained by exchanging a new stone and a new seed that they finally found, as well as some of the tribe's few animal skins.
According to past trading experiences, they could not even exchange for such food for what they had, so the kind-hearted tribesman gave them some extra.
For such a kind gesture, the leader of the Huangguo tribe and other people in the Huangguo tribe were very grateful.
However, there are too many people in the tribe who need to eat, and the newly obtained food cannot last long.
Only a few days had passed, and there was not much food left in exchange, even though they had already eaten very frugally.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe first scooped up a bowl of thick food for himself, then walked aside with the bowl to eat this precious food.
After he left, other people in the tribe came forward and filled their plates with food.
Basically, the people who come to serve food are just like the leaders of the Huangguo tribe, and they fish close to the bottom.
In this way, when people come later, there will basically be soup left.
At times like this, minors have to queue up in front of the two elders in the tribe to eat, because the elderly are no longer of much use, unlike minors who can still grow up and become the prime of life in the tribe.
people.
When it was the turn of the two old men, there was not much soup left in the pottery jar. They divided it equally. Each of them only had more than half of the bowl, and not even a small mouthful of the millet grains mixed in it.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe, who had eaten the food in a bowl, opened the cave entrance and went out to take a look, but immediately returned with his shoulders hunched.
Walking to the place where the food was stored, the leader of the Huangguo tribe frowned.
He once again thought of what the kind and wealthy tribesman conveyed a few days ago.
That is, if you can't survive, you can go with them to their tribe. Their tribe has a lot of food, which can prevent people from starving to death.
After understanding the meaning at that time, the leader of the Huangguo tribe refused without thinking too much.
He doesn't want to give up his tribe and join another tribe with his people.
Even though that tribe seems so wealthy and kind.
But as the food became less and less, the tribe became weaker and weaker, and the winter showed no signs of passing, the words of that kind tribe appeared in his mind more and more frequently.
Now, he feels that it is not impossible to lead people to join that tribe.
The people from that tribe have already left. Even if you want to join them now, you can't find a way...
This made the leader of the Huangguo tribe feel a little regretful.
