Chapter 48 Does This Have Anything to Do with You?
Originally, Shen Xiaoxiao was not going to pay attention to her. After all, it was useless to talk too much. Now that she had not seen anything, no matter how much she said, she would turn a deaf ear and only believe in what she believed and not give others a chance to speak. It would be better Let the facts speak for themselves when the finished product comes out.
But now that Daya is being targeted for speaking up for her, she will not just watch her being bullied.
"Even if we are really playing in the mud, what does it have to do with you?" Shen Xiaoxiao said calmly, "Why, are you jealous that I took her to play in the mud but not you, so you are angry?" She used The understatement almost made Erya angry.
"Who is envious and who is angry?" Erya said loudly, "Shen Xiaoxiao, you are still so annoying."
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled lightly and said, "Oh, then why are you so excited? I thought you wanted to join us, otherwise why are you staring at us?"
Erya said angrily, "Who wants to join you? I just can't bear to see you like this. You know the tribe is busy, but it's better for you to just play in the mud leisurely."
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled noncommittally, and just when Erya was about to say something, she heard, "But what does it have to do with you what we do? Whether we are making pottery or really playing with mud, it has nothing to do with you. Does it have anything to do with it?"
"Not to mention that I won't pick with the tribe and support myself. Daya's decision not to go picking today is just what the witch doctor agreed to. Isn't it enough for her to do other things after taking care of the cubs?"
Then he said, "She has taken care of the cubs, so what does it have to do with you if she just sits around for a day?"
Erya was speechless. In fact, she also knew that whatever Daya did was her own business, but she just couldn't see Shen Xiaoxiao being good.
"Goddess, you are back." Others hurried forward when they saw Shen Xiaoxiao, "Goddess, what are you doing by the river? Why do you get so much mud out?"
"Yeah, it looks fun."
Several young females started chatting, and Erya's face became darker and darker.
Shen Xiaoxiao ignored Erya and talked to them easily. Erya immediately left angrily after seeing this. She couldn't understand why Shen Xiaoxiao only came to the tribe for a few days, and why she let the tribe's people help her like this. Speaking of which, it was obvious that everyone hated her equally before.
It's all her fault, if it weren't for her, they would still be the same as before.
Several young females were very interested after hearing what Shen Xiaoxiao said about the pottery queen. They knew that she would make pottery tomorrow. They all wanted to see it, but they had to go picking tomorrow and it was impossible to have time to talk to her. Make pottery together.
Seeing that they were a little disappointed, Shen Xiaoxiao comforted them, "There will always be a chance." She believed that after she fired the first batch of pottery, the witch doctor would let them learn how to make it.
"Yeah." Although the females were disappointed, they also knew what they should do.
The males who went hunting also came back. They were carrying two short-tailed birds, two people were carrying a sheep, and Xiao Yan was carrying a large bundle of canes.
Others looked puzzled. They didn't understand what Xiao Yan was doing carrying so many wet trees back. Moreover, this tree was not easy to burn.
Xiao Yan placed the cane in front of the cave entrance, and took out a branch with several green fruits hanging on it and handed it to Shen Xiaoxiao, "What is this?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked after taking over the doubt, looking at the green fruits. , as if it was undercooked, but she also knew that Xiao Yan would not give her anything she could not eat.
"Sweet fruit, delicious." This is the most delicious fruit he has ever eaten. He wants Xiaoxiao to eat it, but this fruit has been picked by others, and the ones left on the tree are either rotten or too old. Taller.
He climbed up the tree to pick this one, and there were a few others at the top of the tree. He couldn't pick them anymore and had to give up.
Although Shen Xiaoxiao didn't believe that such a green fruit was sweet, she didn't want to betray his kindness, so she picked one and ate it, thinking that she would have to endure it if it was sour, but she actually ate it in her mouth. But it was unexpectedly sweet. Her eyes widened slightly, "It's really sweet."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, "I'll pick it for you next time I see you."
"Okay." Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, "Did you encounter any danger while going into the mountains today?"
"fine."
Seeing them handling the prey, Shen Xiaoxiao said, "Do you want wool?"
Xiao Yan shook his head in confusion, "You want it?"
"Well, I also want the feathers of the two short-tailed birds." In winter, sandals will definitely be dead. She wants to use these chicken feathers and reeds to make reed boots, so that at least her feet will not freeze when going out in winter. Even cold feet are better than bare feet or wearing straw sandals.
"I asked them to keep it." Xiao Yan said immediately and walked towards the river. After saying a few words to the person handling the food, he came back, "Are the things by the river the Tao you mentioned?"
"Yes, but it still needs to be cooked. After two days of cooking, we will have a pot for use. Then we can make some soup." Shen Xiaoxiao had a smile on her face, although Xiao Yan didn't understand the soup she was talking about. What it is, but from what she kept saying, it should be a good thing.
"I will make a water tank tomorrow and put it at the entrance of the cave. It will be much more convenient to use water." Especially in winter, if the temperature is too low, the water surface will freeze, and it will be a lot more troublesome to use water then.
"Okay, do you want me to accompany you?"
Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Well, tomorrow you can make a vat with me, and then we can go into the mountains and pick the persimmons back. When the pot is cooked, I will make them into persimmons for the winter."
He added, "I'll bring out a basket later and use it to carry the persimmons."
It just so happens that he came back from cutting rattan today, so she will weave a basket or a backpack later. If there is enough time, she may even be able to weave a small one.
"After picking persimmons, let's pick chestnuts as well." After a pause, "That's the thing you said is a thorn ball. We should save more of it for winter. We can cook soup or roast it."
Xiao Yan smiled as he listened to her plan, feeling extremely satisfied in his heart.
"Xiao Yan, come and take it away." Dali stood up and shouted. Usually, they would let the water flow away when they handled things. Today, Xiao Yan asked them to leave it out specially.
Shen Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yan walked over and found that they had already removed the wool from the chickens and sheep. Maybe Daya told them that they would stay away from the pottery when they handled things, for fear that it would be damaged.
Shen Xiaoxiao picked up the wool and chicken feathers, and seeing that they were still stained with blood, she washed them with water, and then found a clean place to spread them out to dry. She originally wanted to put them directly on the ground, but after thinking about it, she broke off some small branches to pad underneath.
After she dried the wool and chicken feathers, she cleaned the leaves on the vines that Xiao Yan brought back, so that it would be much easier to weave the basket later.
Because Xiao Yan went hunting together, they shared food with the tribe today. When Erya saw Shen Xiaoxiao coming, she turned her head away with a disdainful look, as if to say that she was eating for free.
