Chapter 117 Wild Vegetables
"Is this the house you mentioned?" Xiao Yan looked curious and was very interested in the newly built bamboo shed.
"No, the house is built with bricks, and there is no need to worry about rain or snow in the built house. You can hide in the house and not get wet. Uh... You can think of it as an alternative cave, but it is more comfortable to live in than a cave."
Xiao Yan couldn't imagine what it would be like, "Then we will build it after winter is over."
"Well, we will also pick up some large stones to lay the foundation by then, so that the house built can be lived in with peace of mind." Otherwise, it will collapse while living in it, which would be embarrassing, and more importantly, it would be a big deal if someone was crushed.
Shen Xiaoxiao's original voice stopped abruptly, "What?" She shrank her neck and looked at Xiao Yan nervously. Xiao Yan had already pressed her under him at this time, with a pious look, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
The temperature between the two suddenly rose, and Shen Xiaoxiao felt that her cheeks were hot, but she did not refuse. The two of them were in love, and it was natural for them to have a relationship.
Xiao Yan placed his lips on her lips and rubbed them slowly, his hands moving down continuously... Soon, a series of blushing sounds were heard in the cave.
The next day, Shen Xiaoxiao felt as if she had been crushed. She turned over lazily, "Wake up." Xiao Yan held her in his arms, "Are you hungry? I cooked some food, can you eat first?"
"Okay." There was still a trace of fatigue in her voice, "Give me the clothes." She said this with her eyes completely closed.
"I'll help you." Hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao opened her eyes instantly and glared at him with her beautiful eyes. Xiao Yan was unmoved and looked at her with a smile. Then he gently helped her put on the animal skin. Shen Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and let him fiddle with her. The two of them were busy too late yesterday, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
After washing with hot water, she was a little more awake. "Are you still tired?" Shen Xiaoxiao paused with her chopsticks, glared at him, and said with the nerve, "Don't talk."
Xiao Yan didn't listen, but put his head on her shoulder, "Xiao Xiao~"
Shen Xiaoxiao felt a chill and pushed him away, "Eat." Although Shen Xiaoxiao showed disgust, the two of them still finished the meal in a greasy way. They were even more intimate than before, which made people unbearable to watch.
"Xiao Yan, we know your relationship with the goddess, but you don't have to be like this, don't you get tired of sticking together all day?"
Xiao Yan said lightly, "I am happy." This sentence made the other party speechless, leaving only a look of admiration.
When the weather was warm, Shen Xiaoxiao went with them to dig bamboo shoots again, and this time there were more people from the Blue Bird Tribe, but fortunately the bamboo forest was large enough and it would take a while to dig it all. The people from the White Tiger Tribe were also generous in teaching the people from the Blue Bird Tribe how to find winter bamboo shoots. For a while, the bamboo forest was full of voices.
The people of the White Tiger Tribe had already passed the stage of curiosity, but the people of the Blue Bird Tribe were very excited. After all, none of them had thought that they could find food in winter, and there was no danger. As long as they worked hard, they could find food to fill their stomachs. How could they not be excited?
Although they didn't know what this thing tasted like, the people of the White Tiger Tribe were so skilled in digging it, so it must taste good, otherwise they would definitely not have come to dig so many people.
For a while, everyone worked hard and didn't feel cold.
After returning, the people of the White Tiger Tribe taught the people of the Blue Bird Tribe how to cook bamboo shoots. After they were cooked, they all looked forward to eating them. Although it was not as sweet as they imagined, it tasted very crispy, and compared to what they usually ate, this tasted very good.
Days passed like this. When the weather was warm, they went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. The males of the Blue Bird Tribe also set traps to catch prey like Qingshan and his people. Although it was not often, they could occasionally bring back some fresh prey to improve their situation.
Although the witch doctor said there were no caves for the people of the Bluebird tribe to live in, he still felt sorry for them when he saw them huddled in the bamboo shed when it snowed, and asked them to spend the night in the cave. The people of the Bluebird tribe still refused, but the witch doctor made the decision.
The cave was already a bit crowded with so many people living in it, and if there were more people who didn't want to land in the Bluebird, it would be full and difficult to move around. Fortunately, they only slept at night and returned to the bamboo shed during the day. They lived in the bamboo shed when it didn't snow.
Time passed slowly, and the people of the Bluebird tribe had become accustomed to this kind of life. It can be said that they were living better than they expected. They were actually prepared to be forced to hunt, but they didn't expect that the goddess of the White Tiger tribe actually found bamboo shoots to eat. Although they had been eating it for so long and were a little tired of it, it was nothing compared to venturing into the mountains.
And they would usually help the White Tiger tribe as much as possible, or share some of the food they found with the White Tiger tribe, but they were all rejected, and they were more grateful to the White Tiger tribe.
During this period, other people came to ask for help and wanted to live in the White Tiger Tribe, but they were all rejected by the witch doctor. After all, she was not stupid and could see that those people had bad intentions. Letting them live in was just like inviting a wolf into the house.
Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, those people wanted to move in forcefully, but when they saw so many people from the White Tiger Tribe and the Blue Bird Tribe, they gave up and left in disgrace.
Soon, winter passed and spring came. The weather became warmer day by day. The snow melted into water, and all things revived. The grass on the ground sprouted, and the leaves slowly grew out. A piece of green brought vitality to the earth.
"Xiao Yan, take the basket, let's go dig wild vegetables." Shen Xiaoxiao said excitedly. It was spring again, and it was the season for digging wild vegetables. "You are used to eating meat, but you should eat more vegetables so that your nutrition is balanced."
"Where to dig?"
"Follow me." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled, and the two walked out of the tribe. She had already dug a handful of vegetables at the foot of the mountain. "This is shepherd's purse. Chop it up and make stuffing. Mix it with minced pork to make dumplings or wontons. We just happen to have some flour. We will eat shepherd's purse dumplings today, and shepherd's purse tastes good when used to boil eggs."
Xiao Yan carefully identified it and soon found a handful. Shen Xiaoxiao was surprised to find that there was chrysanthemum here. She also picked a handful. Soon the two dug a basket of wild vegetables.
"Xiao Xiao, is this edible?" Xiao Yan asked while holding a handful of grass.
Shen Xiaoxiao took it and carefully identified it, and said in surprise, "It's edible. This is wild chives. Where did you dig it?"
"Well, there are still a lot." Xiao Yan pointed to a place not far away.
"Then let's dig some more and go back to fry eggs." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled, and Xiao Yan also raised the corners of his lips silently.
The two of them returned to the tribe with a basket of wild vegetables and talked and laughed. Others were a little surprised to see them bringing back a basket of grass, but thinking that their goddess could always make inedible grass into delicious food, they excitedly surrounded them, "Goddess, what delicious food have you found again?"
