Chapter 801: Survive with Hard Work (1 update)
The friction that Yao Shi thought about was that the people in the Green Mountain Tribe would complain about the decision of Chief Ji Feng.
After all, it was he who decided to take in the three chiefs and the 150 people he brought with him, which led to a food shortage in the tribe.
But the fact is, these 150 people who came later saw that the food in the tribe was getting less and less. Although the temperature has risen now, it is still a long way to go out to collect wild vegetables.
Before spring comes, they can only eat stored food.
These 150 people saw that everyone went from two meals a day to one meal a day, and from thick porridge to rice porridge with scarce rice grains. They felt very guilty.
These grains did not come from their labor and efforts, but they ate a lot of them.
Therefore, everyone deliberately did not eat the porridge, thinking of giving the grain to the original members of the Green Mountain Tribe, as long as their babies could have something to eat.
Fortunately, this situation was soon discovered by the tribesmen, who were very angry. Originally, one meal of porridge a day was already very little. If they did not even eat this meal, they would not be able to hold on for long.
It would not take long before they would starve to death!
The tribesmen were very anxious, and they urged each other to eat, to insist on living, and to wait until spring came, and everything would be fine.
There were many such examples. The original tribesmen were anxious to persuade, and the later joined were also anxious to refuse. The voices were loud, and this was a misunderstanding!
The chief's wife soon discovered this and immediately told Chief Ji Feng. It was Ji Feng who stepped forward and had a careful discussion with everyone, which prevented these people from starving.
However, in this way, the food in the granary was indeed not enough.
The hunters in the tribe would go into the mountains every day, hoping to catch some prey so that the tribesmen could have some food and last longer.
However, there were very few prey in the mountains in winter, and many of them had the habit of hibernating, so it was a great fortune to catch a few pheasants and rabbits.
Although there were many hunters going into the mountains, only a few could bring prey back to the tribe.
Ji Feng and Ji Yu were a group.
Then there was Da Shu who joined later.
Dashu was very lucky. Once when he went into the mountains, he encountered a deer. When he and several hunters carried the deer back to the tribe, the tribesmen were excited. They surrounded Dashu and the hunters and shouted "wow!"
Dashu rubbed his head in a simple and honest way. They could finally do something for these kind tribesmen!
This deer really helped the Green Mountain Tribe a lot. A mouthful of hot meat soup could dispel the cold in winter.
The tribesmen in the tribe were very grateful to Dashu and admired his ability!
Many hunters came to him to ask for advice.
Dashu naturally did not keep his knowledge to himself and taught all his experience in finding prey to everyone.
Everyone communicated with each other, learned from each other, and really made great progress.
In the past, nine out of ten people went up the mountain and found nothing. Now, basically four out of ten times they go, they can find prey. It's 50-50 when they are lucky.
After this incident, these tribesmen who joined later felt a sense of belonging in the Green Mountain Tribe.
Everyone lived together, the hunters hunted together, the elders took care of the children, and the women prepared meals. Soon, it was like they were all members of the same tribe.
The Green Mountain Tribe grew stronger, and the tribesmen were as united as before.
However, this could not solve the problem of insufficient food.
Ji Feng had borrowed food from the other three small tribes once, but there were too many people in the tribe, and the borrowed food could not last long.
Fortunately, at this time, the gate of life opened again, otherwise, the tribesmen would definitely continue to starve.
Fortunately, they had prepared enough wild vegetables, herbs, leather, and wild fruits during this period. The tribesmen knew that these things were to honor the immortal. The immortal taught them such a magical farming method, which allowed them to have a good harvest and more food. Naturally, they had to express their gratitude.
Therefore, even if the food in the tribe was insufficient or scarce, no one proposed to use these things.
Now, the chief presented these things to the immortal, and the immortal was unwilling to accept these things for nothing, so he gave them a lot of food.
This reason naturally came from Ji Feng's mouth.
Of course, the tribesmen were very convinced.
After all, looking at those bags full of food, they couldn't help but believe it!
That's right, when Ji Feng came out of the small supermarket in the morning, he didn't even have time to take a nap. He immediately gathered the tribesmen to go to the granary, and then there was a series of superstitious propaganda, plus exaggeration.
If Sang Yian was present, he would definitely be embarrassed to the extent that he could dig out a Forbidden City with his toes.
But this is not the first time for the people of the Green Mountain Tribe. More than
300 people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thanking the immortal for his mercy, gifts, and saving them from the water and fire.
With food, they don't have to go hungry, and they won't starve to death.
They will all survive.
Ji Feng thought of Sang Yian's reminder again, and he stood up from the statue of the goddess he carved himself.
Facing many tribesmen, he said in a deep voice, "The immortal said that this time she donated food because our people have worked hard in farming and hunting, and have gone into the mountains to gather in rainy and windy weather. She was moved by their efforts, so she helped us overcome the difficulties."
"But we have to live our own lives. If we want to live a good life, have enough food and warm clothes, and not be hungry, we still have to rely on our own hands and our own efforts."
"The immortal is very busy. The world is so big, and she has so many things to worry about. Next time, we may not be so lucky!"
"If everyone becomes lazy and lazy because of the help of the immortal, and does not work hard, the immortal will definitely hate them, and then..."
Ji Feng looked at the people below and did not finish his words. They just relied on their own guesses, but this was enough.
Originally, there were no lazy people in their tribe. He was also reminded by the store manager that he must not let the tribe members become lazy and not think about working, and only want to eat ready-made food.
Now it seems that the store manager's worry is necessary. He clearly saw someone's eyes evading.
Sure enough, the store manager is the store manager.
Thought of all this in advance.
Someone couldn't help but smile and express his feelings -
"Chief, don't worry, we are certainly not the kind of lazy people who think about the help of immortals all day long! When spring comes, we will cut down trees and open up wasteland, and build houses for our future brothers and sisters. As long as we plant enough fields, we won't be hungry!"
"Yes, Chief, you don't have to worry about this. We have been thinking about which forest to cut down these days, and we must plant more fields this spring. We have so many more people, so we must have more than last year!"
"There are no lazy people in our tribe. Brother Dashu even said that he would take us into the forest to hunt in spring!"
...
Ji Feng smiled and turned around, kneeling in front of the statue again, "Don't worry, Immortal, we in the Green Mountain Tribe will work hard to cultivate and be self-reliant, and we will never be lazy, abandon farming and hunting, and eat up all the land."
Everyone kowtowed again, and that was the end.
