Chapter 377 When choosing a man, you must choose the one who cares about his family
After walking around, Ye Li found nothing. The Fisherman's Tribe looked small, but it was actually very large. The population alone was more than 600 to 700 people, which was considered a medium-sized tribe.
Ye Li had no choice but to stay there for a few days, and then ask around after everyone was less wary of him.
Ye Li's cabin is not big, just right for her to live alone. Daily life here is self-sufficient, but she has to offer some food to the chief every month, because the warriors ruled by the chief protect everyone's safety, and everyone has the obligation to provide food for the chief.
The tribute requirements were not excessive and were within a reasonable range that everyone could accept, so the fishing tribe thrived for hundreds of years.
The family next door to Ye Li's house was very kind. When it was time for dinner, they specially invited Ye Li to their home for dinner.
Ye Li had to know a group of people to find out Xiao Xun's whereabouts, so she happily went there. Each person had a large plate of food, which contained fish, fresh fruits, wild vegetables, mushrooms and some sweet potatoes.
The couple is young and has a baby who is just learning to speak.
The husband's name is Shui Zhiqing and the wife's name is Jiang Yunfei.
"It's just simple food, please don't mind." Jiang Yunfei politely invited Ye Li to take a seat, and thoughtfully handed Ye Li chopsticks and a spoon to choose from, and also poured spring water into the cup for drinking.
"I didn't even have anything to eat outside. Now I have hot rice and hot dishes to eat, which is already very rich." Ye Li picked up the spoon with a smile and took a bite of the wild mushroom first. The taste was closer to the original flavor of the ingredients. No seasoning was added, only some salt.
"Does it taste okay?" Jiang Yunfei was looking forward to her answer.
"Mm, delicious." Ye Li nodded with satisfaction. She looked at the child in the cradle, reached out to play with him, and said, "He's so cute."
"It's okay." Jiang Yunfei obviously enjoyed it.
Jiang Yunfei's husband Shui Zhiqing didn't say much. He quickly finished his lunch and went out.
Jiang Yunfei smiled apologetically and said, "My husband doesn't like to talk, so please forgive me."
"No problem." Ye Li smiled and asked: "Why don't you have the surname Shui? Are you also from outside?"
Jiang Yunfei took a sip of spring water and said with a smile: "My ancestors came from outside, but the Jiang family has lived in the Fisherman Tribe for decades and has long been integrated into the Fisherman Tribe."
"I see."
"Ye Li, please allow me to say something, you still have to make plans for yourself as soon as possible."
"Why do you say that?" Ye Li asked, not quite understanding.
Jiang Yunfei smiled. "Isn't this obvious? How do you, a woman, support yourself? We all rely on our own labor to eat. There are so many people in the tribe, and food is very scarce. Only the fish in the river are inexhaustible, but they still need people to catch them. How can you do such a job by yourself?"
"Why can't I come? Can't I go fishing?"
Jiang Yunfei nodded seriously and said, "Women are not allowed on fishing boats. They say that if a woman gets on the boat, bad luck will follow and the river water will capsize the fishing boat."
"..." Ye Li didn't expect that there would still be such superstitious beliefs in the future.
Jiang Yunfei enthusiastically offered advice to Ye Li, "Let me tell you, when choosing a man, you must choose the kind that cares about his family..."
After the meal, Ye Li's ears were callused from listening. Although Jiang Yunfei meant well, her mind was really not on this.
After lunch, Jiang Yunfei enthusiastically pulled Ye Li to join the women's group work in the tribe, picking fresh fruits, picking mushrooms, and picking up some firewood to burn. They were in charge of everything by themselves, which was very different from the operating model of the forest tribe.
Ye Li had to stay here until she found Xiao Xun. She followed the women in the tribe to pick a small bamboo basket of fruits, some mushrooms, and also brought back a small handful of firewood. Although they didn't bring back much, it took them an entire afternoon.
In the evening, the men who went out fishing also came back. Each of them had a good catch. Each of them came back with a bucket of fish and reverently offered a fish to the chief.
One for each person, which is a lot, enough for the leader and his subordinates to eat for a long time.
After joining in the fun, Ye Li took today's harvest home. There were so many people around, but she didn't see Xiao Xun. Could it be that Jiang Mei gave her false information?
On the way back, I passed by the big guy's thatched house and heard a thudding sound coming from inside, as if someone was knocking on wood with their hands.
