Chapter 137 Tribal Transition Period
Following natural disasters, invasions by dark-skinned foreign tribes, and the rampage of the mutant army led by Gu, all the primitive tribes on this land began to pay attention to the defense of each tribe.
After calming the crying children who had been fighting, she came to Xu Que's side and sat down next to him.
"What are you eating?" Hou's eyes followed Xu Que's finger as it picked up sunflower seeds back and forth on the clean cowhide.
"Sunflower seeds!" Xu Que said, then deliberately spat a mouthful of sunflower seed shells onto Hou's face.
"Is this delicious?" Hou watched Xu Que happily cracking sunflower seeds, and couldn't help but pick one up from his pile and put it in his mouth. He chewed it for a long time but still couldn't separate the kernel from the shell.
"Hahaha! Can't taste it anymore? Just eat it like this! Learn from me!" Xu Que picked up a few more sunflower seeds from the pile, held them upright in his hand, and squeezed them with his other hand to remove the shells, leaving the kernels in his hand.
After peeling many sunflower seeds using this method, Xu Que transferred the pile of kernels to Hou's hand: "Try it and see how it tastes!"
He gulped down all the sunflower seeds in his hand and chewed them: "Mmm! So fragrant! It has a fragrant and oily taste! So delicious! But these are such small seeds, it's not enough, there aren't enough!"
"I suddenly have a question for Brother Xu Que! How do I collect enough sunflower seeds to fill a bowl? I mean, when will my big wooden bowl be able to hold a lot of sunflower seeds?" Hou said, taking out a bowl she used for eating from the backpack Xu Que had given her and placing it in front of them.
Xu Que was stunned for half a minute, and for a moment he didn't know what to say!
"My goodness! I bet even if the two of us shelled sunflower seeds all night, we still couldn't fill a bowl this big! Just shell them one by one slowly!" Xu Que said, then took out two bags of spiced sunflower seeds from the system's inventory and handed them to Hou.
Looking at the two large bags of sunflower seeds, Hou was so anxious that he wanted to hurry up but couldn't, which made people both laugh and cry.
"I'm not eating this stuff anymore! Eating just one is so slow! Humph! Nobody's helping me!" Hou deliberately glanced at Xu Que.
"I really didn't want to peel sunflower seeds these past few days, otherwise I would have peeled them for you already! You know me very well, right? I love you the most, don't I? Since you can't peel them and you're peeling them so slowly, then you can just eat this lollipop! Here! This is more suitable for you!" Xu Que said, taking out a few lollipops from a pile of packages in front of him and handing them to Hou.
"What is this?" Hou asked, pouting in confusion.
"Hey candy! Here, let me open the wrapper for you! You can start eating now! This is meant to be held gently in your mouth! If you don't have the patience to lick it, you can just chew it with your teeth, it's sweet no matter how you eat it!" After tearing off the lollipop's wrapper, Xu Que, worried that Hou hadn't understood, put the lollipop in his mouth, licked it, and then asked Hou, "Did you learn how to do it this way?"
Hou nodded.
Xu Que deliberately and half-jokingly took the lollipop he had been sucking out of his mouth and tried to hand it to Hou to see Hou's reaction.
He didn't react at all, but simply took the lollipop from Xu Que's hand, put it in his mouth, and smacked his lips as if he was having a great time.
"Mmm! It's so sweet! It's so delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life!" Hou said as she moved from Xu Que's side to his other side, collected all the candies from the package piled up in front of him, put them into the brown leather bag that Xu Que had given her, and zipped it up!
"That was chewing gum! That was bubble gum!"
"As long as they're all candy, that's fine! They're all edible! If they're all edible, it doesn't matter what kind of candy they are!" Hou said, looking at Xu Que.
"Bubble gum is for blowing bubbles! You can't swallow it! We usually don't swallow it, and if you accidentally swallow it, it's not a big problem, just push it out the next day! Chewing gum is similar to bubble gum, except that chewing gum has a stronger flavor. If a couple has bad breath, we suggest chewing some chewing gum before kissing, it can freshen their breath!" Xu Que said to Hao.
"Here, you're pretty much useless with bubble gum and chewing gum, give them to me!" Xu Que said, reaching out to Hou to take back the chewing gum and bubble gum that Hou had put in his bag.
Hou quickly moved his backpack back and covered it tightly with his hands, as if afraid Xu Que would snatch it away.
"No! No! I just won't give it to you! I want to save it for when I kiss you!"
Hou glanced at Xu Que and gestured for him to sit on the front crossbar of the wooden bicycle!
"No! You mean you're going to carry me? Can you even pedal? If I sit on the crossbar in front of you, can you even see the road ahead? You know I'm taller than you, sister!" Xu Que looked at Hou incredulously as she slowly walked to her side, refusing to sit in front of her.
"Don't you think I can't look at the road with my head tilted like this? Do you think I'm stupid?" he roared at Xu Que with a laugh.
"Alright! I'm going to sit down now!" Xu Que said, and sat down directly on the wooden beam in front of the rooster.
Hou rode his wooden bicycle all the way, pulling Xu Que along for a ride.
"Uh! I was supposed to be pedaling so you could sit on the crossbar of this old bicycle! Now we're completely reversed! Seriously! But if you can pedal without too much trouble, it's not so bad for me to sit in front! Anyway, it feels cool with the wind blowing around! I quite like this kind of life!"
As expected of a girl who often gathers resources in the tribe, she used to run around outside all the time, but now she can pedal her bicycle without even breaking a sweat!
Hou and Xu Que quickly arrived at the front of a tribe. She gently pulled the brake on the wooden bicycle handlebars to stop the bike in front of the tribe, and then gestured for Xu Que to get off the bicycle crossbar.
When the cavemen who were preparing to dig another hole saw Hou riding a bicycle, their eyes were filled with terror.
With that primitive sense of mystery and curiosity, they gathered around to get a closer look at the hoarse wooden bicycle.
"Come on, make way! Everyone, don't block my way! I'm going to give you a performance of a beautiful woman riding a bicycle!" As soon as Hou finished speaking, the tribe members surrounding them made way for him.
Hou rode his wooden bicycle, pedaling it round and round in front of the primitive people who were watching.
The tribe's primitive people couldn't help but applaud as they watched Hou Feiyang pedal her bicycle with such grace and style!
Xu Que applauded for her from the side.
Seeing so many people applauding her, Hou felt a surge of secret joy and happiness, and pedaled even more actively and enthusiastically. The cavemen who were preparing to dig or were already digging were all too busy watching Hou ride her bike.
