Chapter 143 The Life of a Primitive Cannon Fodder (2)



As for why the little girl was lying in the grass in her home during the day, it can be said that this cave was the little girl's home, and she was not picking wild fruits or anything like that.

It's because today is the day the little girl just started her period. She came as soon as she woke up this morning, and the people here aren't embarrassed to see her start her period.

They all offered their blessings, saying that the little girl had grown up and could contribute to the tribe and continue the next generation.

Thinking back to my memories, when young girls and young wives came to the brothel, they would just use animal hides as pads. As for the older women, they would just let the urine flow down their feet without any care.

Then just find a place with water and wash yourself.

He felt a pang of sadness, realizing his luck was terrible. But the little girl didn't have any other wishes. Fortunately, he didn't have to do any tasks; he just needed to live to a ripe old age.

Thinking of those people in my memory who lived to be 50, which is considered a long life, I suddenly felt that I should take better care of myself. To die so young is not a peaceful death.

However, considering how poor the environment is here and how easy it is to get sick, we just try to tough it out. If we can tough it out, we tough it out; if we can't, we just let it pass.

Fortunately, I learned Traditional Chinese Medicine in the past, so I'll be a good doctor in this life! Oh, in primitive society, they didn't call them doctors, they called them witch doctors.

The tribe also has herbs, which have been developed over generations. They are very simple herbs, which may only cure a minor cold or an injury that cannot be cured.

While everyone in the tribe had gone out to gather resources, leaving only some children and elderly people who couldn't work, they instantly entered the space.

I washed myself thoroughly in the space, and it felt like I could rub off half a pound of mud. For people in the tribe, frequent bathing can easily lead to illness, which is why they get so dirty.

I felt like I had lice all over my head, so I quickly used medicine to kill them all. Although it won't eradicate them all at once, it will be fine after a few more applications.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the space seems a bit wider. I also don't know how long it's been since I joined the red envelope group last time.

I quickly washed up, put on the animal skin skirt, and thankfully wore my own underneath. I also stocked up on a lot of essential women's items, otherwise I would have gone crazy.

Emerging from the space, I looked at the cave in front of me, which was only about ten square meters in size, with no door to even cover the entrance.

I stepped out of the cave and looked around. There was a platform in front of me where I could dry some small things, but the platform wasn't very big, only about four square meters.

There's a small path on the side that leads down into the cave. Looking down, it's not high, only about ten or twenty meters.

The nearest cave is 20 meters away. This area is full of tall, large stone mountains. My own cave is on the second level, the lowest level. There are more caves five meters below the ground.

Looking up, I saw a cave about ten meters away. This cave, where young women lived, was located at the very back of the tribe.

The young adults live in the front, but if they pair up with a young girl, they can move into the young girl's cave.

Because women are generally weaker, especially in primitive tribes where medical care and medicine are scarce, young girls often die during childbirth.

This makes women even more important, as they are the objects of protection for the entire community. Women have to keep having children. They have to start looking for a partner as soon as they become pregnant. As long as there is no difficult labor or death during the first pregnancy, they will have a child every one or two years and continue to have children.

Until she can no longer give birth.

If a partner dies while hunting, then the search for a new partner continues; there is no concept of remaining faithful to a previous partner.

The tribal elders disagreed. Although it was a bit heartless, they believed that if the tribe wanted to grow stronger, it needed to have more children so that it could withstand the coming natural disasters.

It was only through the little girl's memories that we learned that there really was a minor disaster every three years and a major disaster every five years, especially those plagues and diseases, which could wipe out an entire clan if one was not careful.

This is no joke. Primitive tribes are still figuring out how to survive. They don't understand anything, and all their plans are for survival in this era.

Even in the little girl's memory, the woman who traveled through time came here and still wanted to find a partner and contribute to the tribe.

The time-traveling woman was just a bit smarter; she reformed the tribe and made their lives better, which is why the tribe elders were more lenient towards her.

Thinking about the living conditions in the tribe, Qing was overwhelmed. She hadn't yet confronted Yu about her feelings, and at only 13 years old, she figured she should hide away for as long as possible.

Although you can't hide for long, after two years in Hong, if you don't get paired up, the clan elders will directly arrange someone for you. The person they arrange might be someone you were paired up with before, but who is a warrior who didn't have a wife after a difficult childbirth.

Warriors generally represent people who contribute to the tribe, such as those who are particularly brave when hunting and those who can protect the tribe's safety.

Back inside the cave, looking at the chaotic environment, I realized that things were getting worse and worse, and the worlds I was looking for were getting worse and worse.

No wonder the system said the first world was just to let everyone get used to it, so it was relatively simple. The second world, although it can't compare to the first world, feels like paradise compared to the third world.

Taking advantage of the fact that this was her first time visiting Hong, the tribe gave her three days of rest, so she wanted to tidy up the cave properly.

The women here only get three days off when they first come to their throes. They don't get any rest at other times, even when they're pregnant. They're busy from the time they can understand things. Even when they're young and can't do much, they can still pick wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

The leaves by the stove are what are called wild vegetables. As for why they eat leaves, the little girl has no memory of it; it's just been passed down from generation to generation.

He took out a broom from his spatial storage and swept the cave, removing all the loose stones.

As for sweeping things down, and whether they might fall into the homes of people in the caves below? That's standard procedure; in the little girl's memory, everyone sweeps like that.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to weave baskets, so I can use them to hold things and also to hold trash.

She didn't want to think too much about it, since if she were to travel through time, she might immediately become suspicious. She wanted to live to be 80, but to make things easier for herself, she had no choice but to think it over carefully.

The cave was so small that I had to sleep and cook inside it. It felt really uncomfortable.

She was planning to dig a small cave inside the main cave, and she could also dig caves on the left and right sides to use as storage rooms.

Winters are so cold you can't even leave the house. Now it's summer. Just thinking about summer makes me realize that the seasons here are different from the previous worlds.
