Chapter 20: Weaving Baskets to Pack Potatoes

When the hunting team set out, Chu Ange also set out with the gathering team.

When the gathering team came out of the tribe and arrived at the gate of the tribe, someone saw Long Chen's cave.

The man exclaimed: "Oh my God, what a beautiful cave."

When everyone heard this, they all looked over. They had never seen such a beautiful cave and were stunned for a moment.

"It must be very happy to live in a cave like this."

"Is this the cave of a male from our tribe?" A young female looked at the cave with sparkling eyes.

A man who could decorate such a beautiful cave must be a very brave man. It would be great if I could marry him.

Black Widow was also in this collection team. She looked up and recognized that this was Long Chen’s cave.

When I saw it before, it was just a rough house. How come it has become so beautiful after just a few days?

"This is the cave of the wandering orc." said the Black Widow.

"Ah! A stray orc!" The little female was startled when she heard that, and then she realized that the cave was outside the tribe.

The peach blossom in the little female's eyes faded, and she was very disappointed... No female was willing to marry a wandering orc.

The wandering orcs were abandoned by the Dragon God, and marrying him would also cause him to be abandoned by the Dragon God.

The females all gave up the idea of ​​marrying the cave owner, but they still looked back at the colorful cave with a garden every few steps.

I really want to live here.

Chu Ange felt very happy when he heard the envious voices of these females.

This is the new house that Long Chen decorated for her.

She likes it no less than this group of people.

It looks beautiful from the outside and is even more comfortable to live in.

The news that Chu Ange was going to marry a wandering orc spread throughout the tribe.

The eyes of these females looked at her with compassion and pity, even ridicule and contempt.

But she didn't care.

"Don't listen to their nonsense. The Dragon God will bless you." Chu Ange looked at the female who was approaching her and whispering to her. She was a girl about sixteen years old.

Chu Ange looked at the skinny girl and thought for a while before remembering who this girl was. Her name was Lang Bai, and she was Lang Lin’s daughter.

Wolflin is the captain of the hunting team. Logically, his children shouldn't be so thin.

But the fact is that his five children were all pale and thin due to malnutrition.

Chu Ange said to her: "Thank you!"

Lang Bai smiled at her. The little girl looked pretty when she smiled.

This time the collection is for the Dragon God Festival. Everything collected will be handed over to the tribe, and everyone will eat together on the day of the Dragon God Festival.

The collecting team collected some plants and prepared to go back.

"Where did you find that?" Chu Ange saw a child about ten years old tossing a small potato in his hand.

People here don't know how to eat potatoes and even think they are poisonous.

Chu Ange knew the benefits of this thing. If they could dig up a few more potatoes, it would be better than the plants they collected.

The child looked at the little potato in his hand, then tilted his head to look at the Black Widow beside him: "Mom?"

This child is the son of the Black Widow. She left her eldest son in the tribe to help the priest build the altar, and brought her youngest son out to collect.

The Black Widow stood in front of her youngest son and said to Chu Ange, "What do you want to do?"

Chu Ange found the Black Widow's defensive look a little funny, and pointed at the potato in the child's hand and said, "This can be eaten after it's cooked. It will keep you full."

When they heard that there was something edible and filling, everyone in the collection team gathered around.

"You'll have diarrhea if you eat this." Lang Bai pulled Chu Ange's hand and kindly reminded him, "The priest will be unhappy if you dig it up and bring it back."

Chu Ange said: "No. The priest grandfather had eaten it, the day I cooked the Terror Jaw Pork."

Everyone smelled the aroma of the braised pork with potatoes that day, and their eyes lit up when they heard Chu Angge say this.

“Is this really edible?”

Chu Ange nodded: "Wait until the hunting team catches some meat and stews it with potatoes. It will be delicious."

Everyone asked the child where he dug it.

The child pointed in a direction.

"Let's go dig some and bring it back to try." Someone had already walked over.

When she got there, Chu Ange discovered that the potatoes here were quite small, not at all as big as the ones the priest gave her last time.

But although it is small, it is better than nothing.

The collection team has already started digging. There are no hoes here, so they dig with their hands.

While the collection team was digging potatoes, Chu Ange went to get some vines.

Lang Bai asked her while digging potatoes: "Can I eat this too?"

Chu Ange smiled and said, "You can't eat it. I'll make a basket."

"Basket?" Lang Bai was puzzled.

Chu Ange didn't explain because she didn't know how to weave a basket. It would be embarrassing if she explained and still couldn't weave it.

Chu Ange studied for a long time before he managed to weave a very ugly thing that could barely be considered a basket.

Lang Bai ran over curiously, picked it up, looked at it again and again, and then exclaimed: "You are so smart, this can hold a lot of things, even more than animal skins."

Chu Ange felt a little embarrassed by the praise...that's because you have never seen a real basket.

Lang Bai was already carrying a basket to fill with potatoes.

When the members of the collection team saw this basket, they all found it magical.

In the past, they used animal skins to transport things, which not only couldn’t hold much but were also easily crushed.

It’s different with this basket. You can transport a lot at a time, which is convenient and fast.

"Ange, can you make one for me too?" someone came over and asked.

Chu Ange nodded: "No problem." She had originally planned to continue making up stories, as one was simply not enough.

Lang Bai said: "Can you teach me?"

"Okay." Chu Ange said.

With the experience of the first one, the second one will be much easier to compile.

What Chu Ange didn't expect was that Lang Bai was much more talented than her in this area. So she taught her how to weave and explained the method, and Lang Bai was able to weave a basket by herself.

When Lang Bai braided the second one, it was obviously much better looking than the previous two, and it was also stronger and more solid.

"You are so good. You weave much better than me." After Chu Ange praised her, Lang Bai weaved even more enthusiastically.

Tu Yue had never done any work before, and her hands started to hurt after digging for a while.

Chu Ange saw it and called her over: "Mom, come here and I will teach you how to weave a basket."

Tu Yue's eyes were filled with tears and she didn't want to dig anymore, but when she heard Chu Ange calling, she immediately went over.

Chu Ange looked at her mother's red eyes and aggrieved expression, and thought to herself, in this world of cannibalistic beasts, her father must be really powerful to have raised such a delicate daughter-in-law like her mother.

"You sit here and watch me weave first. Once you learn, I'll weave for you." How could she let her mother do it again? If her hand got cut again, her father would be heartbroken when she got home.

"Yeah. Okay." Tu Yue sat down next to Chu Ange.
