Chapter 73: Differences between Men and Women
Shen Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief, but said, "Who knows what happened? Maybe some treasure-hunting animal dumped something here, and we are just picking up the leaks."
At this point, she suddenly had an idea and spoke more smoothly, "Then we have to leave quickly. What if we accidentally take out all the inventory? Who knows what will happen! Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, let's go back later and don't pass by here again."
Her words made everyone nervous and they ran after Shen Qingqian.
Shengze: ""
Looking at Shen Qingqian's back, he shook his head and laughed. This girl, is she running as if a ghost is chasing her?
Of course, Shen Qingqian had no way of knowing what Sheng Ze was thinking. After running for a while, she broke out in a cold sweat.
To be honest, this is really risky, but she is willing to take the risk for the rubber seedlings.
I hope that Master Shen will bless these people in heaven and stop them from delving into this matter.
Fortunately, they were lucky today. Shen Qingqian and others found many edible wild vegetables, fungi, and some nuts, as well as two rabbits and a pheasant that Sheng Ze knocked out with stones.
When we got back, we found out that they were the group that brought back the most things.
"We have already searched the area within five miles around here. It seems we have to expand the scope tomorrow." Li Laosan said as he was packing things with everyone.
Chen Xiao, holding a large leaf as a fan, said, "It's time to expand the scope. Let's do as Sixth Sister said. We will split into four groups and leave some people here at the camp. The remaining people will weave straw mats or straw sandals and take charge of night watch. We'll take turns every day."
Although they are numerous, there are many elderly people, women and children in the team. Whether they stay behind or go out, they must have a certain level of combat effectiveness, and the same applies to night guard.
Sheng Ze also nodded, "That's how it should be."
After listening to Li Laosan's arrangements, the others had no objections, and the matter was settled.
In the evening, Wu made coarse grain porridge with hyena bones for those who went out, and those who stayed behind each drank a bowl of porridge that was so thin that you could see your reflection in it.
There is no way around it. There are not many coarse grains left now, and fine grains are even less. They have to be fed to children and the elderly. Young and strong people cannot compete with children for food.
Li Laosan did not rest after dinner, but clumsily used the wooden needle he had carved to sew his clothes that were torn by trees during the day.
Shen Qingqian felt strange when she saw this, and looked around, but no one from Wu and others came forward to help.
"Sixth sister, what are you looking at?" Shen Qingman followed her line of sight and found nothing unusual.
Shen Qingqian raised her chin towards Li Laosan and said, "Second sister, why is no one helping Third Master?"
Logically speaking, mending clothes is a piece of cake. Li Laosan is a good person, so why is there no one in the team to help him?
Shen Qing's face showed an embarrassment. He whispered, "People like us have special identities and all have families to support. After all, there are differences between men and women. Besides, the Third Master didn't ask for help. Women are afraid of being gossiped about, so naturally no one will take the initiative to step forward."
Shen Qingqian suddenly realized that this was the case.
She really didn't know what to say about the strict separation between men and women in ancient times.
Look at Li Laosan, his sewing is not good at all. Even if he doesn't want anyone to help him sew, he can at least lend him a needle.
But from this point it can also be seen that Li Laosan is a relatively upright person, unlike Wang Mazi who bullied Shen Qingqian and Liang before, and often beat, scolded and humiliated them by relying on his status.
Shen Qingqian couldn't bear it any longer, so she asked Liang for needle and thread and asked Shen Xiao to send it to Li Laosan.
