Chapter 54 Where Did You See It?

When they heard that Shen Xiaoxiao was willing to teach them, they were instantly delighted and thanked her excitedly, wishing they could cut the vines right now and learn to weave baskets right away. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’

“It’s a little late now, let’s go tomorrow.” And they had to follow the witch doctor’s arrangements, and it was impossible for them to do whatever they wanted.

Although the others wanted to learn now, they still obeyed, after all, it was really late now.

“Where’s Xiao Yan? Why didn’t I see him?” After all, the two of them were inseparable. If they hadn’t been attracted by the basket, they would have asked long ago.

“He went hunting and will be back soon.” Knowing that they didn’t like wandering savages, Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t mention the matter of Ashu, otherwise it would be another trouble.

"Otherwise, let Xiao Yan go hunting with us. It's dangerous for him to go hunting alone." Someone suggested. They were really worried about Xiao Yan, and they also wanted to add more help to the tribe. After all, Xiao Yan had always been with them before, and they were not used to him suddenly missing.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't speak, but her eyes had already shown that the people in the tribe thought about their previous attitude towards Shen Xiaoxiao and couldn't say anything more. After all, this result was caused by themselves.

It wasn't until nightfall that Xiao Yan came back with the prey. Seeing his harvest, Shen Xiaoxiao understood why the people in the tribe always wanted Xiao Yan to go back and hunt with them.

He was holding four chickens in his left hand, two rabbits in his right hand, and one that he didn't know whether it was a duck or a goose. "Ga--" It was confirmed that it was a duck. He didn't expect to catch so many prey not long after he left, and they were all alive.

Although he went with Ashu, she believed that he would not treat Ashu badly.

Shen Xiaoxiao stepped forward and took the chickens from him, and asked, "Why did you catch so many?"

"Ashu saw a nest of short-tailed birds before, and he took me to catch them. I happened to see this green-headed duck when I came back, so I caught it." After a pause, "Didn't you say you wanted to raise these things? Raise these first, and I'll catch a few more later."

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him blankly. Caught them casually? Why didn't she believe it? After all, these were wild chickens and ducks. Even if they were domesticated, you would have to chase them all over the place to catch one, not to mention that they were wild, which was even more difficult to catch, but the meat was more delicious.

"Okay, but we have to build a fence, otherwise they might run away." After all, they were just caught, and their wildness had not changed. They would definitely want to run away, so they had to prepare food for them, but she could only find some grass for them to eat now.

"Okay." Xiao Yan put the chickens, ducks and rabbits aside, and found a vacant space to build a simple fence with wood. The legs of the chickens and ducks were tied, so they were not afraid that they would run away.

Others were surprised to see Xiao Yan come back with so many prey. After all, they heard that Xiao Yan went into the mountains very late, and they didn't expect to get so much. Now they saw that they didn't eat food and ran to smash wood, and they were very curious.

"What are you doing?"

"Build a fence to raise them." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled. Although it was already night, the moonlight was still bright, and you could see things clearly without fire, as bright as day.

"Don't you eat it?" Someone asked doubtfully. Isn't the purpose of hunting prey to eat? What's the point of raising it?

"Eat, but we can't eat so much. Let's keep them first. When we want to eat, we don't have to go into the mountains to hunt, and we can have fresh prey to eat in winter."

The tribesmen were thoughtful. This seemed to be fine, and it was a good way. They could keep more prey and not have to hunt when they wanted to eat, or they could keep them until winter. In this way, they wouldn't have to worry about having no food in winter. Why didn't they think of it?

Others also joined in to help them build the fence. Soon the fence was built. Shen Xiaoxiao threw the chickens and ducks in. Maybe they had just arrived in a new environment, so the chickens huddled in a corner and didn't dare to move.

Shen Xiaoxiao pulled some grass not far away and threw it in. When they were familiar with it, they wouldn't react so much.

After finishing these, Xiao Yan killed a rabbit and roasted it and ate it with Shen Xiaoxiao. After washing up, he rested.

The next day, after they had eaten, they went up the mountain again. When they arrived at the persimmon tree, Ah Shu had already picked a lot of persimmons. "Sister, Brother Yan." Seeing them, Ah Shu was extremely excited and waved his hand to greet them.

"Why are you here?" Shen Xiaoxiao smiled. Ah Shu touched his head and smiled innocently, "I have nothing to do, so I helped you and Brother Yan pick more."

Shen Xiaoxiao knew that they were wanderers with no fixed place to live, so she didn't say anything else.

Xiao Yan put the persimmons into the basket, and Shen Xiaoxiao picked up the remaining ones picked yesterday. "Sister, do you want this thing? I know where there is more." Ah Shu suddenly said. He felt familiar with it yesterday. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that this was what he saw by the stream before. There were several trees, and they were full of this kind of red fruit. I don't know what sister is here for.

"Really, where did you see it?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.

"It's by the stream over there. There are several trees growing, and they are also full of red fruits. I don't know if it's what you want." Anyway, it looks very similar.

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yan, "It's not far ahead, you can go and take a look." Xiao Yan said calmly, "Let's go and take a look after we pack these up."

"Okay." Ashu agreed immediately.

After they packed the persimmons, they walked towards the place that Ashu said. It was not far away and they arrived after a while.

"It's right there." Ashu pointed to the front. Shen Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of his finger and saw several trees full of red fruits. She walked closer and saw that they were not wolfberries, but peppers. However, this pepper was not as big as the one seen in the market. It was not even as big as the chili pepper. It was so short that it was no wonder that Ashu thought it was wolfberry.

"Sister, let's pick them all back."

Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head, "This is not wolfberry."

A Shu was a little shocked, "Isn't it? It looks like it."

Shen Xiaoxiao grabbed some wolfberry for him, "Try it." Ashu ate it, "Sweet." She picked another pepper and handed it to him, motioning him to eat it. Ashu took a bite without doubt, but soon spit it out, "How can this thing bite people?"

Shen Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled, "This is a pepper, it won't bite people, it's spicy, eating too much will hurt your mouth, and it's different from wolfberry."

"Then it's useless." Ashu was a little depressed, "That's not the case, this thing is still very useful, it can be used to cook, it's a seasoning."

"Don't pick it now, pick it up when you have time." The main reason is that she doesn't have time to dry so many things now, and there are not so many containers to put them in. She wants to dry persimmons and wolfberries, so she will dry these two first, and then talk about the others.

Besides, peppers can be eaten even if they are not dried, and they are also durable, so there is no need to rush to pick them back.
