Chapter 220 This Won’t Work
"Sister, come quickly, Xingxing and the others were bitten by bugs." Ashu shouted anxiously. Shen Xiaoxiao ran over after hearing it and grabbed their hands to check. The bitten place was already red and swollen. "What bit them? Did you see it?"
"This thing seems to have stung with its tail." Ashu raised a black scorpion, but the scorpion had already died.
Shen Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, at least she knew what bit them.
"It's okay, just squeeze out the stinger and apply some medicine." Shen Xiaoxiao said as she dealt with it, "Where did they go? How did they get stung by the scorpion?"
"Nowhere, they are here, they weren't there before, they suddenly appeared." Speaking of it, Ashu also felt strange. They have been here all the time, and they haven't seen anything before, and suddenly those bugs appeared. It's really strange.
"I didn't see it before, it seems to have suddenly appeared here. "A Shu was also confused. They were fine at the beginning, but these things suddenly appeared. If they knew there were scorpions here, they would not be so careless.
Shen Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. They suddenly appeared?
"Tell me, what happened at that time?"
"Nothing happened. There was a sudden thunder, and then Xingxing and the others were stung." A Shu was also strange. It was just like usual, but they were stung today. It was really strange.
Shen Xiaoxiao had a flash of inspiration in her mind. Jingzhe, spring thunder awakens all things. A thunder awakens insects that hibernate in winter, so those insects suddenly appear.
"Today should be Jingzhe, all things are revived. You should pay more attention in the future. Those little insects are awake, and the weather is slowly warming up. Especially, you can't go to places with a lot of grass. Be careful of snakes." Shen Xiaoxiao said calmly.
"Mom, we know, I will take good care of my sisters. "Xiao Yian nodded in agreement.
Shen Xiaoxiao touched his head and looked at Ashu again, "When they cut the wood back, you will take the other people to get the furniture out. It's not good to sit on the ground all the time."
"Sister, I know. I will take them to work these days. First, make stools and tables for everyone, and do the rest later."
"Okay, you just need to know what to do." Shen Xiaoxiao said nothing more.
"Don't play here for now. Be careful of bugs." Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the children, "You have played for so many days, and it's time to review. I will let the teacher teach you in a few days." These children are too idle. Send them to school to study, so that adults can relax.
And now is the time to build the tribe. They don't have so much time to take care of these children, but they are not at ease letting them go crazy. It's best to let them study.
"Ah~" The children cried instantly. They still want to play, not study.
"Well~! "Shen Xiaoxiao raised her voice slightly, and the children fell silent instantly, lowering their heads and not daring to look at her.
After treating the wounds of the children and letting them play by themselves, Shen Xiaoxiao went to do other things.
They walked for almost half a year, and finally stopped at this place and began to build their home.
Since the cliff incident in the mountains, they no longer had the idea of settling in the mountains. After all, if something really happened in the mountains, they couldn't run away even if they wanted to, and just as the goddess said, it was inconvenient to go in and out of the mountains. Since they had walked so far, why didn't they find a convenient place to live, but make trouble for themselves?
Now the place they settled in is close to the mountains and rivers, but it is not on the roadside. It needs to go a little into the forest, but it is very convenient to go in and out. It will be even more convenient after they build the tribe.
Now they are reclaiming land and preparing to plant all the seeds left. These seeds are from the goddess. They refused to take it out even in the most difficult time, just for now. At that time, they had no food, no prey, and no wild vegetables. At that time, they had the idea of planting seeds, but the goddess rejected them mercilessly.
Later, they had no choice but to kill a cow to survive.
Fortunately, the goddess insisted, otherwise they would not be able to plant even if they wanted to, and they would have to find a way to find seeds, and they might not find them. Even if they found them, they might have missed the farming season.
If they did not plant the seeds at this time, there would be no harvest that year, and they would be hungry all year, no, it should be said that they would be hungry until the next autumn.
Opening up wasteland is a tiring thing, but everyone worked hard because this is hope. As long as they planted seeds and took good care of them, they would not have to starve or worry about having no food.
"Everyone take a break first." Shen Xiaoxiao brought people to bring water to the people who were working, "Come and drink some water first."
"Here it comes. "They put down their tools and walked towards them, talking and laughing.
Shen Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat off Xiao Yan's face with a towel, "Drink some water first."
Xiao Yan took the bowl and drank it in three or two gulps, "It's a bit sunny, don't come here."
"It's okay, you are more tired than me." Shen Xiaoxiao took the bowl from him, "It will be fine after this busy period, as long as the seeds are planted, it will be much easier."
"We will clean up the land as soon as possible, and we will definitely not waste time."
"Well, let's clean up the land first, and we can talk about other things later." Shen Xiaoxiao sighed, after the land is planted, we have to be busy building a house, we can't live in the greenhouse all the time, it's okay when it's hot, but it will be unbearable when it's cold.
But there is no rush. Let's deal with the urgent things first, and take time to deal with the other things.
There are many people in the tribe, and they work quickly. They cleared two plots of land in one day. They picked out all the stones in the land, and burned the grass and thorns directly. This can save a lot of effort, and the remaining ash can be spread on the land.
In the following time, they continued to open up wasteland, and soon the fields were cleaned up and filled with water. They found a spring nearby, and dug a ditch directly from the spring to divert water to the land, so that they would be more convenient to use water for farming in the future.
The people of Liuhua tribe also came to help. At first, Shen Xiaoxiao didn't let them. After all, they had just settled down, and they had a lot of things to do, whether it was building the tribe or hunting to feed themselves, they had a lot of things to do.
"Goddess, just let us do it." The witch of Liuhua tribe looked at her pleadingly.
"But your tribe also has to live. You all come to help us work, so what will you do?" Shen Xiaoxiao frowned.
"Goddess, you've seen that we don't have as many things to do as you do. We can survive as long as we catch some prey." The witch of the Liuhua tribe looked bitter, "I asked them to help you work for a reason." He stared at her closely, "I want to borrow seeds from you, and I want you to teach us how to grow things." Although she didn't know what they were going to grow, she firmly believed that it must be good things.
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned at first, and then refused, "I can't promise you this. The seeds we have left are just enough. If we lend them to you, we won't have enough." There are other things to discuss, but this one is not possible.
