Chapter 74 You Must Be Lying to Us
Xiao Yan thought for a moment, maybe this method can be tried. If it is feasible, then they will be much safer when hunting in the future.
There is a problem, that is, if they want to catch big prey, then the pit must not be small. No wonder Xiao Xiao said that it would be difficult for them to dig the pit.
Shen Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and said, "You can find some stones and tie them to sticks to make tools to dig the pit." They don't have any tools now. Although the efficiency of using stones to make tools is not high, it is better than using their bare hands.
The main thing is that the conditions are there. Without materials, even if you want to do something good, you can't do it. A good cook can't cook without rice.
"Use stones?" Xiao Yan was puzzled.
"Well, otherwise you can dig with your hands." Digging a pit with bare hands, she didn't dare to think about it. After the pit was dug, her hands were useless.
Xiao Yan scratched his head with a silly smile, "Then I'll show you when I'm done."
Shen Xiao Xiao nodded, and the two chatted for a while and rested. She is getting more and more used to this kind of life now.
The next day, Shen Xiaoxiao followed the female tribe members to harvest wheat, while Xiao Yan followed the male tribe members to hunt. He told the others about making traps for hunting. Although he had not put it into practice yet, he thought it was a good idea. Even if it didn't work, it would only waste a little time. But if it succeeded, it would be much easier for them to hunt in the future.
Although the others only understood half of it, they all agreed to the idea after hearing that it was proposed by Shen Xiaoxiao. According to what Shen Xiaoxiao said, they tied stones and sticks together to make tools, found a suitable place and started digging pits.
On the other side, Shen Xiaoxiao followed them to the endless wheat field that Ye said. A golden wheat stood there, and a gust of wind blew and rippled, like a golden ocean.
Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to check the wheat ears. Although the grains were not very full, this wheat field was enough for them to spend the winter well.
"Goddess, is this wheat?" The witch doctor's voice was a little hurried. If these were all, they would not have to worry about having no food this year.
Although they didn't know how to eat it, since the goddess said it was edible, it must be edible.
"Yes, these are wheat, witch doctor, we don't have to worry about winter."
The witch doctor breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "It's really great." Then he asked others to cut the wheat, and he also joined in with a bone knife.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't rush to do it. She walked forward along the edge of the wheat field. It was not as Ye said that there was no edge, but there were many. It was estimated that there were about ten acres of land, but not all the wheat grains were full. Some of the wheat grains were shriveled.
Shen Xiaoxiao walked to the end and found that this was not a mountain, but a flat land covered with weeds and thorns. But from the traces, it was clear that people or animals often moved here, and even the wheat near here was messed up. She thought that some animal must have eaten these wheats and knew that they were edible, so they crossed the thorny road to eat them.
She looked at the footprints on the ground and guessed that it might be a duck or a bird that would come to eat these things.
In fact, she was very curious about how there were so many wheats here. If you say it was planted by humans, then these wheats can be harvested and eaten without drying, but no one left them to rot in the field.
But if you say it was not planted by humans, but it was wild, it would be a bit unreasonable. After all, there were so many, although they did not grow well, there were nearly ten acres of wild wheat, and they grew together. Isn’t this a bit exaggerated?
However, she was still inclined to believe that these were wild. Although she heard a lot about these ten acres of wheat, there were also many weeds in it, and it was estimated that only half of them were wheat.
Shen Xiaoxiao saw a clump of green weeds growing on the edge. She walked over, squatted down, pulled up the grass, and put it in her mouth. She looked clear. She was a little unsure just now, but now she was sure that this was onion. Although it didn’t grow very well, she could still recognize it.
Shen Xiaoxiao pulled up the small bunch of onions by the roots, and dug around for a long time. Sure enough, she found another bunch. When she walked back, she looked at the ground carefully, especially when she saw the grass growing well on the ground, she couldn't help but dig it as if she was afraid of missing some treasure.
Not to mention, she really found garlic again, and she couldn't control her mood. What's this called, it's easy to find after searching everywhere.
She had thought about looking for these things before, but she never saw them. Unexpectedly, she found them after going out.
When she came back, they had already cut a lot of wheat. Shen Xiaoxiao put the onions and garlic on the ground and started cutting them, but she didn't cut them together with them. Instead, she started a new row and put the cut wheat aside.
Although the tools were not very handy, they didn't care. All they thought about was their full expectations for the future. A group of people talked and laughed and worked enthusiastically.
When she was cutting wheat, Shen Xiaoxiao found that the wheat field was exactly as she saw it. There were weeds mixed in with the wheat, and if she wasn't careful, the weeds would be mixed in.
"What are they doing?" Suddenly a puzzled voice sounded. Shen Xiaoxiao looked over and found that several people were looking at them curiously. Shen Xiaoxiao ignored them and bent down to continue working.
"Hey, what are you doing cutting this grass for?" The few people came closer, and their eyes kept scanning back and forth among them.
Shen Xiaoxiao frowned subconsciously. She didn't like the looks of these people. She ignored them and looked at the witch doctor. The other people in the tribe also gathered together, naturally blocking Shen Xiaoxiao in the middle, and looked at the males in front of them vigilantly.
"Nothing." The witch doctor said lightly, and the few people didn't believe it, "Nothing? Why are you cutting so much?"
"Brother, they must be lying to us." Another male who looked darker and thinner said, his eyes fell on them unscrupulously, as if he was planning something.
"That's right, I haven't seen anyone cutting so much useless grass, they must be lying to us." The other three people also echoed.
The man called the eldest brother seemed to be persuaded, his face turned cold, and he said angrily, "Dare to lie to us? Believe it or not, we will kill you." When he said this, his voice was calm, as if he had said it countless times.
The witch doctor looked tense and spoke coldly, "Winter is coming, let's cut some grass to keep warm." These foods are for their tribe to use during the winter, and she couldn't tell them the truth, otherwise they would definitely snatch them away.
The leader didn't say anything, as if he believed the witch doctor's words, but his eyes were fixed on them. Others were not as calm as him, and shouted, "Brother, she must have lied to us. Who would cut grass for the winter?" Even wanderers like them wouldn't cut grass for the winter.
