Chapter 155 No One Is More Important than You

In the next few days, Shen Xiaoxiao led them to dry the hemp, twist the thread and thread it through the reed. After this series of actions, it was already eight days after they weaved the cloth.

"Goddess, I've been knitting for so long, why haven't there been any changes at all?"

"Goddess, me too."

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at it for a while and found that they were just shuttling back and forth without changing their feet, so they made no progress in weaving. She had no choice but to tell them again. Before she could relax, other people's The voices kept coming and going, and she didn't know there were so many problems unless someone told her.

Even so, she did not become impatient and still taught them carefully. It was almost afternoon by the time everyone got started.

After that, in addition to normal work, they devoted the rest of their time to weaving. The cloth woven from this little hemp was not enough for the tribesmen to make clothes, so they would go to distant places to cut hemp, and a steady stream of hemp was sent to them. Come back and continue to knead the thread.

About thirty days passed like this, and everyone in the tribe put on new clothes. Everyone's face was filled with smiles, and their hands were even a little cautious when touching the clothes, as if they were afraid of tearing them accidentally.

Although this clothes is not as soft as animal skin, it is more comfortable to wear than animal skin. Especially at this time, it is much cooler than animal skin to wear, and it is easy to wash even if it is dirty.

Time passes quietly in the busyness, and the vegetables they planted have reached the harvest season, and most of the summer has passed.

“It would be even better if served with white rice.”

"White rice?"

"Yes, another food, used as a staple food in other places, just like wheat, but wheat has to be ground into powder, while rice can be eaten directly after being cooked."

Xiao Yan thought thoughtfully and said, "Does it look similar to wheat? They are all yellow."

"Yeah." Shen Xiaoxiao reacted and said, "Have you seen it?" No, she was sure that there was no rice nearby. Although the climate in this place was suitable for planting, she was sure that she had not seen it. Is it possible? Did she miss something?

Xiao Yan shook his head, "I heard it from others before, but they didn't know what it was. They only knew that there was a golden patch growing there, which was a bit hard to bite, and it was too small, so they didn't pick it." After a pause, "I heard it by chance."

"Do you know where it is?" Shen Xiaoxiao said excitedly. If it is really rice, she won't have to worry about it in the future. Although the yield of the things here is not high, she can cultivate a high yield, even if it takes a long time. It's okay, after all, once they succeed, they really won't have to rely on hunting for a living in the future, and the females won't have to work hard to find food for the winter.

They just need to plant them near the tribe and take good care of them. This is much safer and easier than going hunting.

And she could also see that they also liked farming, and they wouldn't want to hunt if they could.

"I don't know exactly where it is, I just know a rough idea." Xiao Yan shook his head. He just said that at the time, and he didn't ask more, "But that place is far away from the tribe. I heard that it takes thirteen days to get there. ”

Shen Xiaoxiao began to calculate in her mind. Normal people can travel twenty kilometers a day, up to twenty-five kilometers, and it is easier to walk on flat roads than mountain roads. This place has not been developed and there are mountain roads everywhere. Calculate it based on fifteen kilometers a day. , nearly two hundred kilometers, which is indeed very far.

But she didn't know, so forget it. Now that she knows, she naturally wants to find out. If it is true, then their tribe will completely get rid of the hunting life and enter farming. Although farming is also hard work, at least it is safe.

After getting along for so long, Xiao Yan naturally understood what Shen Xiaoxiao meant and disagreed, "It's too far." Moreover, they had never been to a place so far away, and they didn't know whether it would be safe along the way. He hoped that Xiao Yan would be safe. Xiao was able to give up this idea.

If he wanted to go, Xiaoxiao would definitely go with him, but it was not a tribe and he was not familiar with the place. He didn't want to take the risk.

Call him selfish or timid, but it concerns Xiaoxiao and he doesn't want to take the risk.

"This thing is very important, it affects whether we can have food in the future." Shen Xiaoxiao said solemnly, hoping to make Xiao Yan understand the importance of this matter.

"I know, but in my heart nothing and no one is as important as you." Xiao Yan said seriously, "I know you want the people of the tribe to no longer have to live this kind of life of eating one meal and one hungry meal, but compared to I hope you are safe."

He knew that he was being selfish, but more than being selfish, he was more afraid that something would happen to Xiaoxiao, or that he would lose Xiaoxiao.

"But..." Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to say something else, "Xiaoxiao, this is how we came here before you came. We can live without rice." But what would I do without you?

"And you took us to find so much food. Even without rice, these foods can help us live very well." He did not exaggerate. This winter they will live easier and more relaxed than before, much more With so many shelf-stable foods, they'll be better able to survive the winter.

Shen Xiaoxiao still wanted to persist, but when she saw Xiao Yan's pleading eyes, she sighed helplessly and compromised, "Okay, we won't go. We already have so much food, we can live well even without rice." ”

In fact, she didn't plan to go now, but since Xiao Yan didn't want to, forget it. There was no need to make him unhappy because of this little thing.

"Thank you Xiaoxiao."

Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Why are you being polite to me? I also know you are doing it for my own good."

They knew nothing about the outside world, and even if they wanted to go, they would have made sufficient preparations, but Xiao Yan objected so much, and she didn't intend to say it.

"Bring the dishes over, and eat first."

Xiao Yan also knew that Shen Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts had not been dispelled, and he said this just to comfort him, but he didn't want to delve into it now. As long as she didn't have this idea now, he would find a chance to explore the way first. If she really wanted to go, at least he had walked it once and knew if there was any danger.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know what Xiao Yan was thinking, and after washing the dishes, the two of them started eating in the yard.

But now they have no flour or rice, and they can only eat meat and vegetables. In order not to get tired of it, Shen Xiaoxiao racked her brains to cook meat in different ways every day.

"Eat more, and when the wheat can be harvested, you can cook some noodles." Shen Xiaoxiao said easily. To be honest, she was really a little tired of eating meat for so long, so she was so excited when she heard Xiao Yan say that he knew where there was rice. She really missed the taste of rice.

Since Xiao Yan didn't want her to go, forget it. The distance was one thing, but the main thing was that she didn't know where it was.

Xiao Yan didn't agree with her going for this reason. After all, even he didn't know where it was. They would take a detour if they went. In addition, they were not familiar with the place. If they encountered any problems, they would have no way to ask for help.

Now she calmed down and was not as excited as before.
