When he arrived at the cave in the south, Qiao Yu saw from afar Shan, Lu and Shi talking to Mang at the entrance of the cave.
After being rejected last time, Lu Zeng felt awkward for two days and stopped visiting Shan twice a day to chat with him as before. But he didn't want to jeopardize the relationship between Shan and Qiao Yu, so he came as usual on the third day. He smiled and treated Qiao Yu with the same attentiveness and kindness as before, which made Shan call him an "old fox" several times.
"Father, you ran out again." Qiao Yu walked over and looked at the mountain with helplessness on his face.
Shan Ai was worried and couldn't lie still in the cave. He was clearly not well yet, and the swelling on his bitten foot had only just subsided. Something happened in the tribe, and he couldn't wait for Shu to come back, so he asked Xiaoquan to support him and hopped out on one foot.
Shan didn't want to discuss this topic. He smiled at Qiao Yu and said, "You said you'd let the two goats and rabbits eat the yams for fifteen days. Calculating the time, it's been exactly fifteen days today. Let's come over to check on the goats and rabbits."
Apparently, Mang had already told a few people about this. His face was filled with joy as he said to Qiao Yu, "Yu, the goats and rabbits are both doing well. The goats prefer to eat yams, so not only are they fine, they've even gained some weight. The rabbits don't really like to eat, and they were very afraid of people during the first few days they were captured, so they've lost a bit of weight. But they're both doing well."
"Okay, okay, that's good, that's good." Qiao Yu naturally knew that the goats and rabbits were alive and well.
Not to mention that she had eaten hairy potatoes in a previous life in the south and knew they were not poisonous, but people like Lu and Shi wanted to come over eight hundred times a day to check on the two goats and the rabbit. Through them, she knew everything about these four animals.
If Shan's body had not recovered yet, he would probably run more frequently than Lu and Shi.
"Yu, I will eat the raw potatoes for the next fifteen days." Mang volunteered solemnly.
"Let me do it." Shan said quickly.
"So can I."
"Let me do it."
Disabled people from several other breeding teams signed up.
Goats and rabbits are fine, so they believe the potatoes are safe for humans, too. If they're safe, then there's no risk. And after trying them, you get a month's worth of extra meat. Where else can you find such a good deal?
Qiao Yu glanced at everyone and said, "Mang was the first to bring it up." She asked Mang, "Have you thought it through? This is dangerous. Even though goats and rabbits are fine eating it, there's no guarantee that humans will be safe if they eat it."
Even though she knew the yam was fine, she was still taking it so seriously because she worried that people in the tribe would just eat anything they saw. Some poisonous plants don't take effect immediately; some can be chronic. That's why she suggested a two-week trial.
"I'm not afraid." Mang said.
"Wait for Chun, Dali and Xiaoli to come back, and discuss it with them. If your family has no objection, then you will be the one to try it starting tomorrow," said Qiao Yu.
"Okay." Mang nodded.
Qiao Yu took out the chestnuts and gave them to Mang: "Pick two goats and a rabbit, cook this stuff and feed it to them for the same two weeks."
"Okay." Mang nodded.
Seeing that the weather was getting colder and it was about to snow, Qiao Yu knew that the hairy sweet potato was not poisonous, so he only let Mang try it for two days. When he asked him if he felt any discomfort, he ordered the women not to collect wild fruits, but to dig hairy sweet potatoes instead. Ye, Xiaoxi and others also participated in the hairy sweet potato digging activity.
When the nearby potatoes were almost dug up, a heavy snow fell.
The snow season is here.
When Qiao Yu came out of the cave and saw it was snowing, he hurried back to the cave and dressed himself up.
When she came out of the cave again, she saw many people standing in the open space, with wicker baskets beside them, waiting for everyone to gather so they could set off.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Qiao Yu coming out.
One idiot even asked Qiao Yu, "Who are you? Why are you in our tribe?"
Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Guess."
As soon as she smiled and spoke, someone recognized her.
Liu Shui called out, "Are you Yu?"
Qiao Yu smiled again.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Everyone looked at Qiao Yu in amazement.
Qiao Yu has fair skin and beautiful facial features. She is the most beautiful girl in the tribe.
But now, she had used some unknown method to paint her skin dark and thicken her eyebrows, and she was wearing one winter fur coat after another. Qiao Yu's body was underdeveloped, and her chest was like an airport. With this outfit, no matter from which angle you looked at her, she looked like a thin boy.
The only difference between this boy and others is that he is quite good-looking, with big, twinkling eyes that reveal a sense of cleverness.
Because there were no cosmetics, this disguise looked very crude to Qiao Yu, but it was magical in the eyes of the simple primitive people.
"As a woman, it's not convenient for me to attend the trade fair. It will be less conspicuous if I dress up as a man," said Qiao Yu.
Everyone nodded: "That's good, that's good."
There were women at the fair, but they were all from the Sun Tribe. Smaller tribes wouldn't bring women to the fair, except for those they planned to take out to trade for food. If these women were noticed by members of the larger tribes and a dispute arose, it could easily lead to serious trouble.
We'd been so busy lately, so excited about our bountiful harvest of traps and snares, that we hadn't given this a second thought. This morning, as we were getting ready to leave, it occurred to us that Qiao Yu wasn't the right person to attend the trade fair.
Everyone was just about to mention it when she came out, when they saw Qiao Yu dressed like this.
