Chapter 55 Take Them All Back

Shen Xiaoxiao picked a handful of peppers and looked around. It might be because there was a water source nearby. The vegetation here was very rich. There were not only peppers, but even sheep came to drink water, but they ran away when they saw them.

Shen Xiaoxiao saw something hanging on the mountain wall on the right. When she got closer, her eyes suddenly lit up. It was a gourd. Shen Xiaoxiao pulled the vine and found that the range was quite wide. She guessed that there might be more than one plant. There were several gourds hanging on it, some of which were already dry and some were just growing.

Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to pick two and take them back. "Xiao Yan, come and see if you can pick them." Anyway, she couldn't count on her. It was so high that she couldn't pick them even if she jumped.

"Which one do you want?"

"Can you pick the dry one?" Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to the dry gourd hanging at the top. If not, she would pull the vine down.

"Okay." Xiao Yan looked at the location, grabbed the cliff with his hands and climbed up half a meter, then picked the gourd that Shen Xiaoxiao wanted. He saw a dry one under the leaves and picked it up, and picked two gourds that looked very tender.

Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing. This was really a pillow for her when she dozed off. She was still thinking about what to use to scoop water if she used a water tank, and the gourd was delivered to her.

"This is a gourd, it can be eaten after being cooked." Shen Xiaoxiao briefly explained to them that there are actually a lot of good things in the mountains, but they didn't know what to waste.

Just as she was about to call them back, Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes caught a glimpse of white, and she looked closely, her eyes slightly opened, and she walked over quickly. Her eyes were instantly filled with joy. This turned out to be Tremella fuciformis. A dry tree trunk was full of Tremella fuciformis, and each one was very plump.

You know, Tremella fuciformis was a precious tonic in ancient times, and the quantity was very small. She didn't expect to see it here, but it seemed normal to think about it. After all, this is an era older than ancient times, and it is normal to have these things. After all, they just don't know them, which doesn't mean they don't exist.

Almost instantly, Shen Xiaoxiao had the idea of ​​picking them back, but the key is that she doesn't have the right tools now, but if she doesn't take them back, she is worried that they will be eaten or destroyed by other animals.

Xiao Yan saw that Shen Xiaoxiao wanted it, so he said, "You can take it back." It's just a piece of tree, there's no need to be so entangled.

No matter the piece of tree or the things on it, just take them back.

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, these Tremella fuciformis can be transplanted, go back and get some sawdust to raise them, and then you don't have to worry about not having them after eating them.

Xiao Yan asked Ashu to take the things, and the three left the stream.

When they almost returned to the tribe, Ashu gave them the things in his hand and then stayed with Xiao Yan. It was still early, and Xiao Yan would go into the mountains again.

After returning to the tribe, she put the things away, and while it was still early, she made two small winnowing baskets for drying the white fungus.

As soon as she finished, the tribe members came back. Some of them carried a bundle of rattan, some carried a load, and some carried prey or wild fruits. They walked back to the tribe with laughter.

"Goddess, we brought the rattan back." Daya said excitedly after putting the things away.

Shen Xiaoxiao was slightly shocked. They were really quick.

Others gathered around and talked about it. It was obvious that they were very interested in weaving baskets.

They wanted to learn now, but Shen Xiaoxiao said to start after eating. After all, even if they were not hungry, the cubs were hungry. They had to hold back their mood and clean the food and roast it first.

Shen Xiaoxiao caught the remaining rabbit, cleaned it, and roasted it over the fire. Xiao Yan came back just after it was roasted, and brought back a large bundle of rattan.

After eating, Shen Xiaoxiao taught them how to weave baskets. She originally wanted to teach them tomorrow, but they all showed great enthusiasm. In addition, it was still early, so she did not refuse.

Shen Xiaoxiao was surrounded in the middle. She took the rattan and explained to them carefully, teaching them step by step. Although it was already night, the moonlight sprinkled down, and everyone could see her movements clearly. It was not difficult to learn. One by one, they quickly wove the bottom. Shen Xiaoxiao then taught them how to weave the basket body. This part was not very smooth. Some were afraid of breaking the rattan and dared not weave hard, but the basket was flat. Some were too tight and the bottom was wide and the basket body was small.

Helpless, Shen Xiaoxiao had to personally guide them and told them some techniques. Slowly, they were able to weave well. Although the speed was not fast, they were all moving in a good direction.

Although Erya did not like Shen Xiaoxiao, she also followed the team to learn. She knew that this was good for her, so even if she was unhappy with Shen Xiaoxiao, she endured it and listened to her carefully.

But she was still stumped. Seeing that others had already woven a lot, she was still stuck at the bottom, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.

Shen Xiaoxiao also noticed Erya's predicament. She didn't want to care about it at first, after all, Erya didn't ask her, but she thought that since she had taught her, there was no need to deliberately embarrass her or pretend not to see it.

"If you want to fold them all, you can circle these vines into a circle first." He added, "Or you can weave one first and then another, which will be better, and the woven vines will not return to their original position."

Erya glanced at her and didn't say anything, but her actions were very honest. She weaved one by one according to what Shen Xiaoxiao said. The vines that were particularly disobedient in her hands are now extremely obedient.

Seeing that she knew it, Shen Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else and started weaving by herself. After all, only two baskets were not enough.

The group of people weaved until late at night before stopping. Shen Xiaoxiao made a new one. The others still had some finishing touches. Knowing that they wanted to use it tomorrow, Shen Xiaoxiao taught them to finish it without reservation. Everyone returned to the cave with the newly woven baskets with satisfaction.

The next day, the young males and females of the tribe went into the mountains to hunt and pick, while the older ones stayed in the tribe to weave baskets. In the past, they were idle in the tribe, but now they can be busy and help the tribe. They are so happy in their hearts. After all, they can't hunt, not even as good as the cubs. After all, the cubs can still hunt and pick for the tribe when they grow up, while they are getting older day by day and eating for free in the tribe. Now they have something to do, and they are so happy.

Today, Shen Xiaoxiao did not go into the mountains with Xiao Yan. The pottery blanks were dried in the sun, and she had to burn pottery. In addition, she had to process the persimmons she picked and dry them into persimmon cakes, otherwise they would rot if left for a long time, wasting their time bringing them back.

Shen Xiaoxiao found an open space, spread a layer of firewood on the ground, and then placed the pottery pieces one by one, added firewood on top to cover the pottery pieces, and then set them on fire.

Others were curious about what she was doing, and when they saw the blazing fire, they couldn't help but feel nervous. They asked her what she was doing, why she burned all the firewood, and whether they would survive the winter?
