Chapter 64 It's All Your Fault

The next day.

The people in the tribe did not go picking and hunting today. Yesterday, Shen Xiaoxiao told them that they should stay in the tribe today, make pottery, weave baskets, and dry the persimmons picked yesterday into persimmon cakes.

The people in the tribe divided the work and cooperated. Some made pottery, some weaved baskets, and the rest followed Shen Xiaoxiao to wash the persimmons and peel them.

The group of people were busy and no one felt tired. They all had smiles on their faces. They talked from time to time while working, or someone told some jokes, which made everyone laugh. The atmosphere was very lively.

At noon, Shen Xiaoxiao cooked two pots of eggs and distributed them to everyone. Originally, everyone wanted to refuse. After all, how could they ask for the goddess's food? But she said that it was already cooked and it would go bad if they didn't eat it. Then they accepted it. Everyone expressed their gratitude to her. Although they didn't like to eat it, it was a good thing given by the goddess.

Soon, they found that this was different from what they had eaten before. In the past, they ate something flowing, like water, but this one was white after peeling the shell, and it didn't smell fishy.

They took a careful bite and found that it tasted better than they remembered. They couldn't help but brighten their eyes and looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

They didn't expect that the boiled egg tasted so good. They could find more and save them for winter. They could eat one more kind of food.

After eating the eggs, they continued to work until night fell. Because they didn't go hunting today, they ate some fruits. Shen Xiaoxiao saw this and boiled two eggs for each of them. After they got them, they were all grateful and said they would return them to her.

She spent another day with them to dry all the persimmons into persimmon cakes, and also kneaded pottery for a day. After all, she also needed to use these things to exchange for other things she needed.

The next day, Shen Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yan went into the mountains to pick chestnuts. This time, the people of the tribe also went with them. After all, they knew that this thing was edible, so how could they miss it? Now that winter is getting closer, they naturally hope to find more food so that they won't starve in winter.

However, the place they went to today was not the place she and Xiao Yan went to before. This place is closer to the tribe. They used wooden sticks to hit the chestnuts hard, but soon they heard a "buzzing" sound. Before they could react, they saw a group of wasps flying over the chestnut tree, and then quickly attacked them.

"It's a wasp, run." Shen Xiaoxiao's pupils were locked, and she shouted quickly, but they were stunned at the first time. When Shen Xiaoxiao shouted, it was too late. The wasp had already flown quickly to their side. They reacted quickly and ran away. They were embarrassed to run in the woods, and they didn't let go until they got rid of the wasp.

But those who didn't react didn't have such good luck. They screamed in pain after being stung. It took a long time for the chaotic scene to return to normal.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if they had survived a disaster, but those who were stung didn't feel so good. Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly asked them to pull out the thorns, and found some honeysuckle nearby for them, crushed them and asked them to pull out the thorns and apply them on the skin.

She was still crushing the honeysuckle when she saw them kneeling on the ground, kowtowed and bowed, "Please ask the beast god to save us."

"Please ask the beast god to save my brother."

Shen Xiaoxiao recognized that this was Erya's voice. She looked over and saw Qingshan lying on the ground with a red and swollen face and a painful expression.

No, this can be solved by asking the beast god?

Erya looked at her with hatred in her eyes, and suddenly rushed towards her, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't asked us to pick the thorny fruit, we wouldn't have suffered these injuries. You are a troublemaker."

"What goddess, what else can you do besides harming us?"

Before Shen Xiaoxiao could speak, the others said, "Erya, don't talk to the goddess like that."

"Yes, the goddess certainly doesn't want this to happen, how can you talk to the goddess like that?"

"Hurry up and apologize to the goddess."

Erya's eyes were full of resentment, "What goddess, I think she is a liar. If my brother is in trouble, I will never let him go."

"How can you blame the goddess? Qingshan happened to be standing below and was stung because he didn't run in time. You can't blame the goddess."

Erya As if she didn't hear it, she was immersed in her own thoughts and said excitedly, "If anything happens to my brother, I will never let you go."

"You can only bring disaster to our tribe. You can't do anything."

Shen Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and laughed out of anger, "No one wants this to happen, but your brother is not like this because of me. You want to put the blame on me, but I don't agree."

"Are you blind? Eyes can be donated to people in need when they are not used. I have brought disaster to the tribe? How come you know the basket you are using now, the pottery blanks waiting to be fired, and the chestnuts if I didn't tell you?"

"What do you call this? You curse your mother as soon as you put down the bowl, not to mention that your bowl hasn't been put down yet."

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't indulge her at all.

"Also, did I just stand by and watch? Being stung by a wasp is not a terminal illness that cannot be cured. You can just pull out the stinger and apply medicine for a few days. Some people don't even need to apply medicine."

The others were stunned. In the past, when they were stung by poisonous bees, they could only ask the witch doctor to pray to the beast god, but not everyone could survive. Only the lucky ones could survive, so they would avoid places with poisonous bees. They didn't expect to anger them this time.

But this is what the goddess said, can we believe it?

They asked the doubts in their hearts, and Shen Xiaoxiao was speechless after hearing it. If it was not serious, they didn't need to pray to the beast god, and it would be fine in a few days. If it was serious, even praying to the beast god would be useless.

"Pull out the stinger and apply this." Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to the herbs that were hammered into slag in her hand. The others looked curious, but they applied a layer obediently, but Erya was the only one who didn't want to, and looked at her defensively, thinking that she would kill Qingshan.

"If you want him to die, stop him." Shen Xiaoxiao said bluntly, her voice cold and hard, "Then you will be the murderer who killed your brother."

"Impossible, you killed my brother..." Erya suddenly looked down at Qingshan, "Listen to the goddess." Qingshan said with pain, Erya couldn't believe it, "Brother!"

"The goddess won't hurt us."

Erya pursed her lips, looking stubborn, "The more you delay, the more painful your brother will be." Shen Xiaoxiao said indifferently, anyway, she had said what she should say, and it was up to her to choose.

If she didn't believe her, then she had nothing to say, after all, the person who was suffering was her relative, if she didn't care, no one could do anything.

Others also persuaded Erya not to do this, to believe in the goddess, it really worked.

Erya still cared about her brother, helped him pull out the stinger, and applied a layer of honeysuckle, but Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes were not eyes, and her nose was not a nose.
