Chapter 279
Chapter 279
The days went on like this.
From time to time, Xiao Baiyan picked out one or two wild vegetables that he hadn't seen before, and ate them while none of his clansmen were paying attention, in exchange for a worried reprimand. This kind of wild vegetables.
After going back and forth like this for three or four times, the little guy couldn't find another chance to steal it. The clansmen kept a close eye on him, and there were hardly any edible weeds around him except wild fruits.
Even if he occasionally picked up one or two plants, he would be snatched away immediately, and reprimanded: "You can't eat it casually! You will die! You brat, you don't know how dangerous it is!"
It has to be said that no matter how busy the Xia family's girls are, they take good care of the two little guys.
The two little guys couldn't find any other opportunities, so they could only pick fruits with them obediently, and occasionally used rabbit fur skirts to help transport the fruits, so they had nothing else to do.
The audience in the live broadcast room was quite helpless. They wanted to help the Xia family, but they couldn't find a suitable method. The planting techniques were too abstract, and the specific food would disturb the orderly and healthy competition atmosphere in the clan. .
After finally finding several edible wild vegetables, they were disturbed by the clansmen who were full of concern for the cubs.
"Why don't you give them some seeds?" Someone suggested, "Sweet potatoes, millet, wheat, etc., after they grow out in the next year, maybe they will know how to eat them."
"When they are very hungry and can't find food, they will eat..."
This is true, under the threat of hunger, they will try other foods as much as possible, and only in this way can they get out of their comfort zone and look for more available things.
Xiao Baiyan and Wan Ding secretly sowed a row of seeds around the cave. When the weather gets warmer in the coming year, they will definitely take root and sprout. They will grow tall and big, which is the most conspicuous.
The women have gained quite a lot, and the men have also made great progress in hunting. At least after escaping from the previous brute force hunting, they are injured less and less often, and they catch more and more prey. Catch one or two surviving hares and pheasants.
In addition, the drug boy also taught them how to make simple weapons, such as bows and arrows, javelins, stone knives and other simple and handy weapons, which increased the success rate of hunting.
Xiao Baiyan suggested raising both hares and pheasants, especially pheasants. Not only can they lay eggs, but the eggs they lay can continue to hatch chicks. If they can be kept for a long time, they will also be a stable source of food.
The members of the Xia Clan were a little dazed, they didn't have the concept of breeding in their minds, but the patriarch quickly understood what the little guy was thinking.
They can grow grains, and they may not be able to raise rabbits and chickens. When these rabbits and chickens give birth to small rabbits and chickens, they will have endless meat to eat.
This is a good idea. The patriarch looked at Xiao Baiyan appreciatively, and soon organized the men to build a simple fence outside the cave to prevent pheasants and rabbits from escaping.
The busy days are full and happy. The audience in the live broadcast room watched their hard work and accumulation bit by bit, watched more and more food in the cave, and more and more tribesmen put on animal skin skirts.
——Yes, before that, not everyone had animal skin skirts to wear.
Everything is moving in a better direction, food, seeds, water, animal skins for heating... They already have enough food for the winter.
However, in the Xia clan, the contest between men and women is still going on, no one is willing to lag behind, and it is still impossible to tell the winner.
This kind of competition ended in a suddenly cold evening.
The people gathered around the bonfire, happily discussing today's harvest. They hunted another fat hare today. Judging by her clumsy appearance, it seemed that there were several unborn hares in her stomach.
"When she gives birth to little rabbits, raise them up, and give birth to many little rabbits, we will have countless rabbits to eat," the men said with great anticipation. "We will have meat to eat if we don't go hunting by then!"
"No, there is also a pheasant. That chicken runs really fast, but we run faster. That bow is really useful. With a swish, we hit it directly."
"We won't have to go hungry this year..."
But what makes the two little guys regret is that they never met the second big worm, Wan Ding has not eaten the meat of the second big worm so far.
The patriarch looked at the clansmen in front of the bonfire with relief, and said softly: "What are you thinking now? Winter is coming soon, and the patriarch's successor must be determined as soon as possible."
She is no longer young, even though she looks only 30 years old, she is still considered very old in the clan.
The clansmen looked at each other, but they all fell silent. Whether it was the rise of the men or the hard work of the women these days, they were deeply aware of a problem.
Regardless of whether the heir to the patriarch is male or female, they must unite and perform their duties in order to better prepare food and survive the winter.
"I'm old," the patriarch said softly. "I have kept my mother's teachings in mind these years, and I dare not relax at all times, because this is not only a position of patriarch, but also bears the lives of many clansmen."
The audience in the live broadcast room were quite surprised, at least in their eyes, the patriarch's age is not too old.
"It looks like it's only 30 years old, even if the environment is bad, it's okay to live to 40 years old, right?"
"I also think it's quite young, but Shan is not young, he looks almost twenty."
"Everyone, don't be so optimistic. What were the conditions at that time, he must have looked much older. I think the mountain is only in his teens, and the patriarch is only in his 20s, right?"
In this way, their age is indeed not that old, but it is not the case. Li Su, who still has some understanding of this, sighed: "At that time, their lifespan was not long, especially women, because they were injured in childbirth. The body and lifespan are very short, 20 to 30 years old is considered to be the end of life.”
Premature delivery or poor care after delivery will have a certain impact on the body, and this impact, even in today's fairly advanced medical science, still cannot be completely eliminated.
"No matter who you are the patriarch, I just hope you remember one thing, never to plunder," she glanced at the men in the clan, and finally landed on the mountain, her only son, who has grown tall now, Very strong, "Shan, it's time for you to find a spouse. No matter which clan you belong to, you must obtain the approval of the woman. As for the heirs—"
Generally speaking, their offspring will be raised by women and stay in the women's clan, which is also the foundation of a clan, but if someone breaks the rules, it will be even more chaotic in the future.
"You can negotiate. If they want, you can bring them back, but the hunting skills you have learned must not be used on the same kind." The patriarch frowned. Even today, she still can't be completely relieved. It is a good thing for the Xia clan, but it may not be a good thing for the entire clan.
"You decide for yourself, heirs of the patriarch," the patriarch looked at a man and a woman beside him, and asked softly, "Is it a mountain or a willow? No matter which one of them it is, I hope you can respect it."
Shan and Liu looked at each other. One of them was the patriarch's own son, and the other was the patriarch's adopted daughter. Both of them were qualified to be the next patriarch, but they both fell silent.
"Mother, tell me, no matter who you say, I won't have any opinions," Shan said seriously, "I know it's not easy to be the patriarch, but if Liu becomes the patriarch, I will definitely try my best to help her, together Take care of Xia Clan so that our Xia Clan can continue to prosper."
"If it's Shan, he can do it. I believe that under the leadership of Shan, our Xia Clan will get better and better. We will have more prey and food, and we will never go hungry again." Liu said.
The patriarch smiled, looked at the two children, and said suddenly: "It's time for Liu to find a spouse."
Liu bit her lip, turned to look at Shan, hesitated for a while and said, "I want Shan to be my spouse. He is the strongest man in the Xia family, and our descendants will definitely be stronger."
All the clansmen under the bonfire laughed, and said one after another: "Yes, patriarch, let Liu Heshan have a baby, so our Xia clan doesn't have to go to other clans to find a baby."
"Liu is also very powerful, her hands are dexterous, and the animal skin skirt she made fits perfectly!"
The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned. Looking at the two people who had already held hands, their eyes almost fell off.
"I-I-I-I-Is this serious? Am I missing something?"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, will you just have a baby today? It's so straightforward! And what if they only have one cave? Can't everyone watch?"
"It's really not sloppy at all..."
"Is that why I'm still single?"
"It's very tiger..."
Wan Ding looked at the crowd booing in confusion, and finally turned his head to ask Xiao Baiyan: "What is having a child?"
Xiao Baiyan thought for a while: "It's getting married, like Emperor Ximing and Sister Baihua. When they get married, they can have children together. They can have many, many children. By then, Emperor Ximing and Sister Baihua will be parents. , we will have more friends.”
More friends? !
Wan Ding suddenly became more curious. He had just met Emperor Ximing a few days ago, and he didn't have any children around him, nor did Sister Baihua. Could it be that they haven't given birth yet?
It's been a long time.
"Then when we go back, we need to remind Emperor Ximing to have a baby early and not to be lazy," Wan Ding wrote down seriously, "Don't forget, Bai Yan, when Emperor Ximing gives birth, we will not be Jiuchongtian. The youngest fairy."
Xiao Baiyan also felt that the matter was of great importance, so he responded seriously with a sullen little face: "Yes! They must be lazy, we must remember to remind the emperor."
Emperor Ximing himself who is still in the live broadcast room:? ? ?
I always feel that there is something weird.
The author has something to say: Dijun: My dead father, mother, and master haven't started giving birth yet :)
