Chapter 50 Why Bother so Much?

"I just saw some mushrooms there. Let's pick some in a couple of days." Shen Xiaoxiao said as she walked, "Let's dry more while the weather is good. We can eat them in winter."

"You mean the red and white ones growing on the ground...?" Xiao Yan asked in confusion, "Those can't be eaten. If you eat them, you will die." Xiao Yan's tone was anxious, fearing that Shen Xiaoxiao would have the idea of ​​eating those poisonous things again, "Someone in the tribe ate them before, and that person died after eating them."

"What they ate might be poisonous, but if we pick some non-toxic ones, nothing will happen." She would feel uncomfortable if she left so many mushrooms unpicked, and she would think about them all day long.

"Didn't you say this before that it can't be eaten? Now that you have eaten it, isn't it delicious?" Shen Xiaoxiao said again, "Not all mushrooms are poisonous. There are many edible types, but you just don't know them. "

"But what if you can't tell them apart? "Xiao Yan frowned, after all, there are so many different colors, and some are different shapes, how can she guarantee that what she picked is definitely not poisonous.

"I can tell the difference." Shen Xiaoxiao said immediately, "Don't worry, we often eat these, it's easy to identify."

Xiao Yan wanted to say something else, but seeing that she really wanted to eat it and said it so confidently, he didn't say anything more, thinking that if she really wanted to pick it, then he would eat it first, even if there was something wrong, it would be him first, and he also believed in Xiaoxiao.

"Wait and see if you can catch two short-tailed birds or rabbits and take them home." Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "If you can catch one or two at a time, catching two more times will be enough. "

"Okay. "Xiao Yan nodded in response.

The two walked back to the tribe quickly. Xiao Yan carried two baskets, while Shen Xiaoxiao held a handful of branches in both hands, which were full of persimmons.

Not long after they walked, they found a person sitting under a tree on the side of the road with a painful expression. Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to ignore him, but Xiao Yan had already walked towards the person, so she had no choice but to follow him.

"Ashu, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yan put the basket on the ground and asked with concern. Shen Xiaoxiao didn't expect that this was someone he knew.

Ashu raised his eyes, and Shen Xiaoxiao saw his face clearly. His dark face was a little childish. When he looked at Xiao Yan with clear eyes, he was happy, but soon he was stained with sadness, "Brother Yan."

"Why are you here? What happened?" Xiao Yan asked with concern.

Ashu pursed his lips tightly and said with a sad face, "I met a wild boar. I finally escaped, but my leg seems to be broken. "Looking at his right leg with a depressed look.

Shen Xiaoxiao then noticed that his body was covered with scars, but the most conspicuous one was his right ankle, which had already swollen into a pig's hoof.

Xiao Yan naturally noticed it, frowning slightly, "Where did you meet the wild boar? Didn't I tell you not to go into the deep mountains alone?"

"I was just looking for some food on the outskirts, and those two wild boars suddenly appeared." Ashu said aggrievedly, he didn't want to encounter such a thing, and he also knew that it would be very dangerous for him to go into the deep mountains alone, so he basically looked for some wild fruits or caught some birds on the outskirts to eat, and didn't dare to go inside at all.

But he didn't expect that he would also encounter wild boars on the outskirts, and there were two of them. If he hadn't run fast, he might have died in the pig's mouth.

Xiao Yan didn't say anything at this time, it would be better if he didn't run into the deep mountains.

"I'll take you back to the tribe and let the witch doctor help you." Xiao Yan said as he was about to pull Ashu up, Ashu quickly refused, "No, your tribe doesn't like us wandering savages. "

Ashu also knew what the wandering savages had done to their tribe. It was normal that they didn't like them. He seldom went to see Brother Yan, but Brother Yan would often give him some food when he met him. If it weren't for Brother Yan, he would probably have been unable to survive these years.

Xiao Yan also remembered the tribe's attitude towards wandering savages. If it weren't for the rejection of the tribe, he would have taken the person back. He was only ten years old when he met Ashu. After understanding Ashu's situation, he thought about bringing him back to the tribe, but the tribe was robbed by wandering savages. When he proposed to take a wandering savage back to raise, the people in the tribe refused, and even the always kind witch doctor looked at him coldly. Ashu also knew that they didn't welcome him and declined his kindness.

Ashu has been wandering for so many years, but he would often give him some food to keep him alive, but he didn't expect Ashu to be injured.

"I'll tell the witch doctor."

"No, it will implicate you." Ashu shook his head quickly.

"Then you want to wait to die? Or will he become a useless person in the future? "Xiao Yan's voice was cold and hard. He didn't have a tribe to begin with. If his leg was broken again, he would not be able to survive.

At that time, not only would he not be able to hunt, but he would not be able to keep the food in his hands.

Without a tribe, there would be no one behind you. You are a wandering savage, and your leg is broken. Who else would they bully if not you? At that time, even if he was given food, he would not be able to protect it.

Even some weaker tribes had people who dared to rob things, not to mention that he was a wandering savage with inconvenient hands and feet, and there would be more people bullying him.

A Shu was silent. He naturally knew how cruel people with broken hands and feet faced. He was bullied when he was intact before, not to mention that now that he had broken hands and feet, others would be even less polite when bullying him.

But he couldn't bother Brother Xiao Yan anymore. If he took him back, the people in the tribe would definitely make trouble for Brother Xiao Yan.

"If you don't want to go back to the tribe with me, come with me, I'll let the witch doctor come out to help you." Then he said, "You have to let the witch doctor take a look."

A Shu was unwilling, and lowered his head and said nothing.

Shen Xiaoxiao saw what Ashu was struggling with, it was nothing more than because the people in the tribe were xenophobic, and they were afraid that he would implicate Xiao Yan if he went.

"If you trust me, I'll take a look for you." Shen Xiaoxiao said calmly. Of course, if they didn't believe it, it would be fine. She spoke up completely for Xiao Yan's sake. Otherwise, do you think she would pay attention to him if she walked by alone?

It was enough to meet Li Chuan, she didn't want to come again.

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he remembered that Shen Xiaoxiao was indeed good at medicine, and said happily, "Xiaoxiao, come and help him."

A Shu looked at him in confusion, "Brother Yan, who is she?" Although he was in pain, he still couldn't stop his gossiping heart.

"She is my female, called Shen Xiaoxiao." Xiao Yan smiled faintly.

A Shu stared with his eyes wide open, and his mouth opened wide, as if he could swallow an egg. How long has it been since I last saw Brother Xiao Yan?

And this female looked pretty, spoke softly, and smiled with curved eyebrows. At first, he thought she was someone who was curious about what happened to him, but he didn't expect that she was Brother Xiao Yan's female.

A Shu's eyes were full of curiosity, "Brother, where did you find such a beautiful female? It doesn't seem to be from your tribe."

"Why do you care so much? Do you still want it?" Xiao Yan glared at him.

A Shu laughed.
