Chapter 93 Premeditated
Although the males of the tribe were injured and did not go hunting, the females still had to look for food. However, several females were injured yesterday, so the injured were allowed to rest in the tribe while the others went to look for food.
Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to pick some mushrooms. It rained heavily yesterday. There must be mushrooms today. The sun is out now. If the sun is good, pick them and dry them. In winter, you will not have to worry about food.
She told the witch doctor her idea. After all, they had to go far away to find food, so they might as well follow her to pick mushrooms.
"Goddess, you can't eat those poisonous mushrooms. If you eat them, you will die." The witch doctor said quickly, trying to dispel her idea. Witch doctors of all generations have recorded that you can't eat poisonous mushrooms. If you eat them, you will die. They see poisonous mushrooms. He hid far away, not daring to get a little bit of it, for fear that it would cost him his life.
"It's edible. As long as you don't eat poisonous ones, you'll be fine." After a pause, "Don't eat those with bright colors, red, yellow, blue... these are easily poisoned."
The witch doctor was a little hesitant. She believed what the goddess said, but after so many years of knowledge, she couldn't believe it, because someone in the tribe had died after eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake, and later she wouldn't let others touch it.
Now, someone suddenly told her that poisonous mushrooms were edible, which completely overturned her previous knowledge.
"I know which mushrooms are edible. If you believe me, let them go pick them with me." He continued, "Or you can go find the food, and I can go alone."
As long as they eat it once, they will naturally believe it.
The witch doctor was hesitant. Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao's firm eyes and thinking about what she had done during this period, he agreed. After all, there were many mushrooms on the mountain. If they were really edible, it would be easier for them to find food.
The witch doctor told them to follow the goddess to find mushrooms. When they heard this, they burst into laughter and said that they could not eat mushrooms and would die if they ate them.
Shen Xiaoxiao patiently explained it to them again before making sense to them, but most of them were hesitant, and Shen Xiaoxiao didn't care. After they ate it, they knew it was good food.
"I went up the mountain with them to pick mushrooms. You have a good rest at home. If you are hungry, there is still soup in the pot. You can eat it first to fill your stomach, and then cook something when I come back."
"Okay, you have to be careful." Xiao Yan nodded.
Shen Xiaoxiao gave a few more instructions before leaving.
"Goddess, are mushrooms really edible?" someone on the road couldn't help but ask.
"It's edible. I guarantee you'll still want to eat it." Shen Xiaoxiao said as she walked. It was very difficult to walk on the mountain road in the rain. "But don't pick randomly. Only pick what I told you."
Shen Xiaoxiao saw a few mushrooms under the tree with sharp eyes, so she led them over and gently pulled the mushrooms up from the ground. "Look, this is an oyster mushroom. It is fan-shaped, shell-shaped, and many more." Regular funnel-shaped, surface color is black gray, light gray, white... you can pick them off when you see them." Shen Xiaoxiao carefully taught them to identify them and made sure they really recognized them before letting them look for them separately. .
"If you see other mushrooms, call me over. There are so many mushrooms here, not just this one is edible."
"Okay." Others responded one after another, their eyes full of eagerness to try. Maybe it was because there were few people picking and there were abundant fungi in the mountains. They quickly found other mushrooms and quickly called Shen Xiaoxiao over. Shen Xiaoxiao After carefully identifying them, he said, "This one is a Coprinus comatus, and this small one is a morel mushroom. They can both be eaten."
Daya and the others' eyes were full of joy, and they rejoined the search for mushrooms after letting others identify them.
The mushrooms were especially fresh after the rain, and since no one wanted them, they quickly each found half a basket. Shen Xiaoxiao also found a pile of fungus, which she picked back without hesitation.
"Goddess, can this be eaten?" Shi An said excitedly, holding up a red mushroom. Shen Xiaoxiao stepped forward and looked at it carefully and said, "It's not edible. It's still poisonous." Shi An quickly threw it away without hesitation. .
In fact, there is a kind of red mushroom that is edible and has high nutritional value, but the one he took was not one.
Next, someone asked her about mushrooms of various colors, including yellow and green, but none of them were edible. They were not discouraged and went on to look for edible mushrooms.
They were very busy, but a group of uninvited guests came to the tribe.
"Brothers, take those pigs away."
"Are you going to rush?" The witch doctor glared angrily, "I made you run away last time, and now you dare to come to our tribe to steal things. Who gave you such courage?"
The witch doctor's eyes were cold, and he looked at Scarface without any warmth, as if he were looking at a dead person.
Scarface snorted coldly and said confidently, "The males of your tribe were so seriously injured yesterday. Some of them are already dead. Today, your females and the uninjured males went up the mountain. Do you think you can stop us?" ?”
Hearing what Scarface said, the witch doctor knew that they had premeditated this. He was afraid that they had already wanted to rob the tribe's things, otherwise how could they know the situation of their tribe so well.
Xiao Yan heard the commotion outside and came out. Seeing the cold light in the scarred face's eyes, he shouted angrily, "What are you going to do?"
Scarface looked at Xiao Yan with a sneer and sneered, "I didn't expect you to be alive." His words were full of gloating, "I thought you were mauled to death by a wild boar yesterday."
Xiao Yan's eyes were cold and his tone was calm as he said, "That really disappoints you." After a pause, "Are you sure you want to rob our tribe in broad daylight?"
Scarface sneered, "Do you think you can stop us with your disabilities?"
Xiao Yan clenched his fists and said, "Even so, you can't leave intact. Leave quickly if you know what's good for you."
At this time, the other people in the tribe also came out, holding tools in their hands. Except for the cubs in the cave, even the old people were holding tools and glaring.
Scarface was really frightened for a while. He had clearly seen the people from their tribe go into the mountains, but he didn't expect that there were still so many people in the tribe. It was worthy of being the White Tiger Tribe, but he couldn't leave empty-handed today.
So what if they had a lot of people? He had a lot of people too, and they were all injured and old. He didn't believe they could stop him.
Just when he was about to rob openly, suddenly a thinner man ran to his ear and said something. Scarface's eyes showed reluctance, "I will let you go today, and I will never let you go again in the future."
If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have been so miserable last time. He must avenge this grudge.
Xiao Yan relaxed after seeing them leave, but he didn't understand why they left suddenly. They looked like they were going to fight to the death one second, and left the next second. He couldn't figure it out.
"Xiao Yan, your wound is bleeding again." The witch doctor said anxiously.
Xiao Yan turned his head and glanced, and did see a touch of red, but he didn't care much, "Let someone go and see what's going on, to see if anyone is coming." And maybe they have a good relationship with their tribe, otherwise it would be hard to explain Scarface and the others' reaction.
