Chapter 178 The Holy Fire Will Never Go Out

Chen Jinyue listened to her clear-headed and self-reliant speech with admiration, "You must be the best leader of your time!"

She decided that from now on, whatever she wanted would be taken as long as its main purpose was not to kill.

For example, a kitchen knife.

Then she didn't ask any more questions and just provided it directly.

She believes she has her limits...

Si Yu was caught off guard by the compliment, and her dark face flushed slightly. She said modestly, "Actually, I'm not that good."

Before Chen Jinyue could speak, Si Yu continued, "In other aspects, I am not as good as my tribesmen."

“???”

"You said before that men can also contribute to conceiving children. I told a few women in the tribe I trust, and they are all pregnant now. But I haven't put in any effort, so there has been no progress."

Having said that, she held her stomach in frustration.

Chen Jinyue opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Unexpectedly, Si Yu quickly regained her confidence. "I actually tried hard, but it was very slow. I was selecting strong men! From my observation, the former chief of the Fireworks Tribe was quite good. I asked him to come to me last night. As soon as he came in, I pounced on him and ripped off his tiger skin! I was right. He is better than many men..."

"That's enough! That's enough! Some things don't need to be described!"

Chen Jinyue crossed his arms over his chest and quickly stopped her from making such dangerous remarks.

Si Yu blinked her big eyes and looked at her, her eyes clear and questioning.

Chen Jinyue was a little embarrassed. "Your actions, like the ones that follow... well, are considered private here. Just like how much food is stored in your tribe's warehouse, you can't tell anyone about it!"

"You are not someone else, I can tell you!" Si Yu's heart and eyes were full of trust.

Then he decisively told her about the food in the warehouse.

Chen Jinyue, “…”

She roughly calculated that even with what they hunted, they would only have enough food to last them for about a month, so she had to prepare food for the winter.

After Si Yu finished talking about food, she turned the conversation back to, "If Ji Shuo really gives me a child, I will give him a more important position!"

Chen Jinyue suddenly realized that he had misheard, "Who? What's his name??"

Si Yu repeated, "His name is Ji Shuo, the former chief of the Fireworks Tribe."

Chen Jinyue curled the corners of his lips, "What a brave name."

Si Yu nodded in agreement, "He is also very brave, whether it was hunting or last night..."

"You said that many women in the tribe are pregnant. How did you find out? Were they all pregnant at the same time?" Chen Jinyue couldn't stand it anymore and quickly asked other questions.

Si Yu nodded, "Around the same time, we usually observe each other's body changes..."

When a woman is pregnant, a series of changes will occur in her body.

Breast enlargement, abdominal bulge, appetite changes, etc.

It was during this period that they discovered that some women were showing signs of pregnancy, so they became even more grateful to the gods.

"Then pregnant women should not do heavy work. They should be assigned some light tasks, right?" Chen Jinyue asked subconsciously.

Si Yu nodded, "I know, I have experience in this area."

Chen Jinyue actually didn't have much experience, so she didn't say anything more at the time. She just reminded him to contact her anytime if he needed anything.

Si Yu happily agreed.

After chatting about these daily things, Chen Jinyue took her to see the matches that were exchanged this time.

She took out a box and demonstrated it to her. The match rubbed against the matchbox and the flame quickly ignited.

The firelight reflected on Si Yu's face, making her innocent smile particularly beautiful.

Chen Jinyue's lips unconsciously curled up because of her smile.

"Next time I want some other saplings." She handed her five more pictures and asked her, "What do you want?"

Si Yu took the picture and immediately spoke up when she heard the question, "Is there a better tool than a stone axe?"

The team led by Si Xue was fast at digging saplings, but slow at cutting down trees.

Currently cattle, sheep and pigs are all kept in a very small pen, and they want to move faster and give each type of poultry a separate pen.

When Chen Jinyue heard this question, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

She wanted it just in time.

If we hadn't talked about this just now, or if she was worried because it had happened too often, she might have hesitated.

"have."

But now, without hesitation, upon learning their purpose, he offered, "Besides the axes, there are some other tools. I'll give you some of them. But if they're used to keep poultry in, perhaps you could also use the bamboo as a fence?"

Chen Jinyue explained it to him. He said to divide the bamboo into pieces, cross them, and plant them in the ground...

Although the statement was simple, Si Yu understood it quickly, and her face was full of enlightenment, "I know!"

…

The people waiting on the Qiuyu tribe side have become accustomed to the fact that the longer their chief takes to look for the goddess, the more good things he will get.

They felt a little regretful that they came here so quickly this time.

But they still walked over quickly.

"Chief! How is it? How much is the goddess willing to grant us?"

"Is it the same one that Ji Shuo took?"

“…”

Everyone was talking at once, their eyes fixed on the back.

But when several boxes of matches were passed over, the expressions on the faces of the group of people were different.

Have doubts.

But more of a disappointment.

It seems that the holy fire is too precious, and the goddess is unwilling to give them more.

But one cluster is enough.

They will do their utmost to protect the sacred flame...

"The goddess said that this is called a match, and it's the same as a lighter." Si Yu explained to them, then took out a box of matches to demonstrate.

The moment the flames came out, the excitement that everyone had just suppressed was ignited again.

"As expected of a goddess! There are so many different kinds of holy fire!"

"These, are these all?"

A group of people looked at the large boxes with ecstasy on their faces.

Facing these expectant eyes, Si Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes! From now on, the sacred fire of our tribe will never be extinguished!"

"Great! Thank you, goddess, for your protection!"

"Thank you, Goddess, for your blessing!"

“…”

A group of people knelt down excitedly and bowed devoutly again towards the residence that Si Yu had just entered.

After expressing his gratitude, Si Yu distributed matches to all the small chiefs, twelve boxes for each person.

The rest was kept by her personally.

Si Xue was also very happy to receive the matches, and then quietly asked Si Yu, "Chief, has the goddess agreed to provide us with the tree-cutting tools?"

Si Yu was about to tell her about this, "The goddess not only agreed, but also taught us other ways!"

Sixue, "???"

Bamboo is a common weapon in tribes.

Each person sharpened one.

So Si Yu casually picked up a bamboo stick nearby. Following Chen Jinyue's instructions, she split it into four equal parts, then inserted them crosswise into the ground...

"I understand!" Si Xue widened her eyes in surprise and said happily.

Si Yu also smiled. "Although these bamboo blocks are not as strong as wood, they are more labor-saving and are enough to keep chickens, ducks and geese."

As for large pigs, cattle and sheep, they are still cared for with wood, but it will be much easier once the goddess gives them sharp tools.

Si Xue looked at the bamboo pieces and was distracted for a moment.

The reason why she understood so quickly was mainly because she knew that the basket given by the goddess was made of bamboo.

They also wove things out of bamboo, but none of them were as beautiful and strong as the ones given by the goddess.

If they learn these ways too...

"Chief, can we pray to the goddess to teach us how to weave bamboo baskets?"

“…”
