Chapter 119 Carpenters are not consumables
Yao Tao's words frightened the parents so much that their faces turned pale and they retreated obediently.
When the others saw that these parents had hit a wall, they also gave up the idea.
Only then did Yao Tao enjoy a peaceful breakfast with Master Lu and Grandma Lu.
Before setting off, Yao Tao counted the arrows made by Master Lu and was very satisfied after test shooting.
"It's a pity that I don't have enough materials. If I had the right feathers, I could make something better." Master Lu said with regret.
"What kind of feathers are suitable?" Yao Tao asked.
"It's hard to say. If I could get more feathers, I could make a comparison."
Yao Tao nodded.
Feathers are not difficult.
Mutated bird feathers are easy to get; just kill a few and you'll get a bunch.
Moreover, the four divine beasts in her home have been frequently preying on mutant birds recently.
Maybe it was because she disliked the mutant rats they caught last time, but they never hung dead rats on the trees again.
Although it's a bit creepy to change it to a dead bird, it's still better than hanging a mouse.
Jiang Pingyi led everyone out of the furniture store, and Yao Tao followed Master Lu and Grandma Lu on the road.
Jiang Pingyi found it strange that she was following him.
During a break, he couldn't help but come over to ask Yao Tao, "Aren't you going to join us?"
"yes."
"Then why are you still..."
"I'm following Master Lu, and he still owes me several arrows that he hasn't finished. What if he runs away if I don't keep an eye on him?" Yao Tao's words were well-reasoned and Jiang Pingyi had no way to refute them.
Yes, they paid a deposit.
When the team was almost marching until around 10 a.m., some people were so hungry that they could not walk anymore and suggested to Jiang Pingyi that they find something to eat.
"Let's hunt first." Jiang Pingyi arranged the action in groups.
Adult men all participated in the hunting, while women and children stayed behind to make fire.
The men gave the prey they caught to the women to process, and then roasted it and distributed it according to work.
Those who work harder will get more meat.
"Old Man Lu, let's go." A survivor called Master Lu from a distance to join the hunting.
"He won't go," Grandma Lu said. "He's old, and he can't help much if he goes."
"Hmph, don't even think about sharing the prey when we kill it."
Grandma Lu had a wry smile on her face. "He went there a few times before, but you didn't give us any in the end."
The man choked and wanted to curse, but when he saw Yao Tao standing behind him, he could only turn around and leave angrily.
Grandma Lu turned around and explained to Yao Tao, "It's not that we're lazy, it's just that we're old and our hands and feet can't compare to those of young people. Not only are we looked down upon by them, but even when they catch and roast the prey, we don't get a share. To be honest, we hadn't eaten for two days before we met you."
Yao Tao nodded solemnly to show her understanding.
Grandma Lu sighed helplessly, "This apocalypse... when will it end?"
Yao Tao didn't respond because she knew that once the end of the world began, it would never end.
The old world has ended, and humans must adapt to the new world.
"Yao Tao, will you go to resettlement site 001 with us?" Grandma Lu looked at Yao Tao expectantly.
Although it was a bit selfish, she really hoped that the girl could accompany them all the way.
With her on the road, others dare not bully them.
Only then can they reach resettlement point 001 alive.
Yao Tao nodded. "I will go with you. I have a suggestion. When we get to 001, we can ask Master Lu to find some work with the government. That way, you won't have to go hunting anymore."
Hunting is not a very friendly thing for two elderly people in their 70s.
"It's not that easy to work for the government," Grandma Lu sighed. "We don't know anyone there, and we don't have any connections to the higher-ups."
"Maybe I can ask for you." As soon as Yao Tao said this, Grandma Lu and Master Lu's eyes were suddenly filled with hope.
If this works, they won't have to worry about starving to death anymore.
Yao Tao agreed to help them, and she also had her own considerations.
There were many carpentry jobs she couldn't do in her little nest in the tree hole.
This kind of thing still needs to be done by a professional master.
But she was worried about asking others for help.
You can't just hire someone and then fire them after they've done the work.
This would be too much of a burden for the carpenter.
It is better to find a carpenter who knows you well.
