The tribe is actually quite quiet in winter, but because Meng Changjin has been cutting stone steps and catching fish these two days, the tribe has become a little more lively.
Meng Changjin also saw the children in the tribe for the first time.
Different from the delicate and pretty children in other worlds, the children in the tribe have dark skin and are wrapped in thick animal skins. Almost all of them wear necklaces made of animal teeth. They look fierce and cute.
Apart from this, the children in the tribe are very well behaved.
Not at all as naughty as the children in other worlds.
This should be caused by the environment.
Although there are some childish aspects, Meng Changjin can see that these children are trying hard to restrain their naughty nature.
According to the client's memory, in other seasons, these children would be more active than they are now.
The reason why he is so well-behaved now is partly due to insufficient intake of food which results in him not having the energy to jump around, and the other half is probably because he is cold.
It's normal that people don't want to move when the weather gets cold.
It actually didn't take Meng Changjin a long time to cut the stone steps. After all, with the magic weapon in his hand, wouldn't cutting the stone steps be as easy as cutting tofu?
By the time Meng Changjin had finished cutting the stone steps, there was a pile of stones more than half a meter high outside the inhabited caves on the mountain wall.
In this way, it becomes clear at a glance which caves are inhabited and which are not.
While cutting the stone steps, Meng Changjin also got to know everyone in the Yan tribe.
No, it can’t be said that he knew them. It can only be said that Meng Changjin remembered these people’s faces.
As for the names of these people, Meng Changjin knew some of them, but he still didn't know most of them.
Or I know some names but can't tell which person they are.
The client originally knew a limited number of people, and only a few of them were familiar to him.
How easy is it to know everyone in the tribe?
However, Meng Changjin has a good memory. Although she cannot match each person's name now, she remembers everyone's face.
Needless to say, a cultivator's memory is excellent. With the help of his powerful spiritual sense, there is absolutely no possibility of him not being able to remember.
Meng Changjin achieved his goal, and the witch of the Yan tribe was the happiest.
Why are they happy? Because Meng Changjin is from their tribe.
Now she completely believed that Meng Changjin was gifted by God.
If it wasn't for the gift from heaven, how could he do such a thing? The witch had seen all the changes in the tribe in the past two days.
At this moment, Wu is full of hope for the future of the Yan tribe.
I was worried about the lack of food in winter before, and I am still worried now, but not as worried as I was at the beginning.
We have to teach everyone how to use chopsticks as soon as possible and to follow the new rule of washing hands before eating.
Wash your hands first. She is still learning how to use chopsticks.
I haven’t learned it yet.
It seemed that Meng Changjin only needed to pinch it lightly, but these two thin sticks were extremely difficult to operate in his hands.
Meng Changjin naturally didn't know the situation on Wu's side. He was very tired after cutting stone steps for a whole day.
My wrists are extremely sore.
Although most of the power is exerted by the magic weapon, she also needs to hold the knife in her hand to cut it.
My current cultivation level is still low, which is why I feel sore in my wrists.
When Meng Changjin returned to the cave, the sky was already showing signs of darkening.
Meng Changjin grilled a fish for himself. Because it had all the seasonings, it tasted pretty good.
If someone with better cooking skills came, it would be even more delicious.
But Meng Changjin's cooking skills are just so-so, and it's okay if you make do with it.
Meng Changjin admits that her cooking skills are not very good, but when the aroma of her grilled fish wafts out, many people are intoxicated by it.
This smells so good that they all want to get some.
Of course, in the end no one went.
Meng Changjin had already been cutting stone steps for the entire day and was so tired that he would definitely eat more. If they went to eat for free, Meng Changjin himself would not have enough to eat.
Meng Changjin thought that his cooking skills were not that good, but when he arrived in the tribe, he became really amazing.
Of course, more of it is actually taking advantage of the seasoning.
The taste of everyone's grilled meat is average, which is basically because of the lack of seasoning. If they are given the same seasoning, the grilled meat may be better than Meng Changjin's.
Meng Changjin still has this self-awareness.
Meng Changjin didn't buy a lot of seasoning, so she didn't think about sharing some with everyone.
It’s better to wait until winter is over and then go out to see if you can find some seasoning plants.
In the next few days, Meng Changjin's life became very regular.
Practice at night.
I get up in the morning and go to the river to break the ice. After that, I go to the forest opposite to cut trees to make wooden barrels.
In just these few days, Meng Changjin had made quite a few wooden barrels, which were piled on the flat ground below the mountain wall for everyone to use to store things.
Another thing worth mentioning is that Wu also instructed about washing hands and using chopsticks before meals.
This kind of thing is good for the tribe, even if it sounds troublesome, but everyone will still follow the witch's order.
Because they know that if the witch says something beneficial, it will definitely not cause any harm.
Seeing that everyone started washing their hands before meals, Meng Changjin was happy, but also a little worried.
It’s not because everyone is worried, but because there seem to be not many fish in the river.
In the first few days, Meng Changjin used his spiritual sense to observe that there were still quite a few fish in the river.
However, after several days of catching, when Meng Changjin was breaking the ice recently and scanning the river with his spiritual sense, he could clearly see that the number of fish had decreased a lot.
This is because everyone catches them in advance and keeps them there, but even if a lot of them are caught in advance, it is not enough for everyone to survive the winter.
The food is still not enough, it's a little bit lacking.
If there is a shortage, we have to find a way to make up for it. If we don’t, some people will definitely starve to death due to lack of food.
This is something Meng Changjin absolutely doesn't want to see.
Food, where to get food?
Meng Changjin sat at the entrance of the cave, feeling very worried.
It is best not to take out the things in the spiritual plant space unless it is absolutely necessary.
The source is hard to explain.
Meng Changjin sat at the entrance of the cave, sighing and thinking hard, but still couldn't come up with a good solution.
The fish in the river were all she could think of, but now there were a lot of them.
It is estimated that we can still catch a few, but the cost of catching fish has increased.
If he continued to focus on the fish, the problem of food shortage might not be solved, so Meng Changjin had to consider the issue of keeping warm.
Meng Changjin looked up and was thinking about whether he should go to the mountains to do some work, when he suddenly discovered a bamboo forest.
Yes, bamboo forest! Where there is a bamboo forest, there must be bamboo shoots.
Winter bamboo shoots should be available in this season, right? The price of winter bamboo shoots is still quite high. The reason for the high price is actually very simple, that is, winter bamboo shoots are difficult to find.
It's all a matter of luck, or only some experienced bamboo shoot diggers can find this winter bamboo shoot based on their years of experience in digging winter bamboo shoots.
Spring bamboo shoots will sprout tips, but winter bamboo shoots will not.
But is such a problem a problem for Meng Changjin?
no!
Meng Changjin had spiritual awareness, and since he couldn't see with his eyes, he just used his spiritual awareness to probe directly into the soil and that was it.
Meng Changjin stood up hurriedly. As he was taller, he could see farther.
But it was still not enough. The client was not very tall and couldn't see very far when he stood up.
But it doesn’t matter. Meng Changjin walked directly to the stone steps on the side and walked to the highest point, which was close to the center of the mountain wall.
When you get here, your vision is raised too much.
Meng Changjin could almost see the bamboo forest clearly.
Unlike other trees whose leaves have almost fallen, that bamboo forest is still lush and green, and it looks very large.
For such a large area, if there are winter bamboo shoots, the quantity must be quite large, which will be another increase in food.
Thinking of this, Meng Changjin did not delay.
If there is any, just go and take a look.
If so, the food problem can basically be solved.
If not, then she would have to think of other ways.
When Meng Changjin went out, someone saw him, but no one stopped him.
Recently, Meng Changjin often goes to the river. There is no need to worry about the river in winter. Some ferocious beasts living in the river cannot harm people in the tribe in winter because of the ice.
They had no idea that Meng Changjin's destination this time was not the riverside, but across the river, through a bamboo forest behind a mountain.
If they knew, everyone would definitely stop her.
In fact, few people from the Yan tribe go to the bamboo forest opposite.
There are poisonous snakes over there. If you are bitten by one, there is basically no hope.
After two people from the Yan tribe died there, most of the time people would not go there unless it was necessary.
That bamboo forest has almost become synonymous with danger.
Meng Changjin is definitely making a great contribution to the people of the Yan tribe. If everyone knew that she was going to the bamboo forest, they would definitely try their best to stop her.
Unfortunately, no one knew that Meng Changjin had already walked across the river on the ice, quickly passed through the mountains and forests, and headed straight for the bamboo forest.
When he reached the edge of the bamboo forest, Meng Changjin spread his spiritual sense out.
As this spread, a strange expression appeared on Meng Changjin's face.
I haven’t found the winter bamboo shoots yet, but I have found other things.
It was a nest of bamboo rats, about five or six in total, and each one was extremely fat.
This made Meng Changjin, who had been eating grilled fish every day for several days since coming to this mission world, swallow his saliva unconsciously.
Ideas like braised bamboo rat suddenly popped up in her mind.
Can this be let go? This definitely cannot be let go!
A minute later, Meng Changjin held up five fat bamboo rats in his hands.
The five bamboo rats were tied up tightly with vines and could not struggle free at all.
Meng Changjin smiled happily, this trip was worth it. Even if there were no winter bamboo shoots, these five bamboo rats were still a harvest.
Enough for a few meals.
After catching the bamboo rat, Meng Changjin continued his exploration.
This time, Meng Changjin almost let out a sigh.
She only explored less than one-fifth of the bamboo forest, but in this small area, Meng Changjin has discovered many bamboo rat nests.
The people of the Yan tribe avoided this place, which allowed the bamboo rats here to live a particularly comfortable life.
If this isn’t a granary, what else could it be? In addition to bamboo rats, Meng Changjin also found winter bamboo shoots, but they were all relatively small, and only occasionally would he see a few larger ones.
After Meng Changjin detected them, he carefully dug out the larger ones.
There are too many bamboo rats here, and Meng Changjin suddenly realized that maybe she could make some bamboo rats and bamboo shoots. She also has twenty or thirty packets of hot pot base, and if she adds a little flavor, it should taste good.
Let’s prepare a big pot of food to ensure that everyone in the Yan tribe can safely get through the winter, and we can worry about the rest later.
When Meng Changjin came, except for the knife in his hand, he had nothing.
But when he returned, he had a bunch of tightly tied bamboo rats in his left hand and a bunch of equally tied bamboo shoots in his right hand.
Everyone was stunned. How could he come back with such a rich harvest after just one trip? No one could tell what the bamboo shoots Meng Changjin was carrying were.
But they recognized the bamboo rat that Meng Changjin was holding.
We went to the bamboo forest several times at the beginning.
I have also caught bamboo rats and know that they are edible.
It was only later that someone was bitten by a snake and poisoned, and people stopped going to the bamboo forest.
Meng Changjin came back with a bamboo rat, which surprised the witch and the leader.
The bamboo forest is such a dangerous place. If Meng Changjin gets bitten by a snake, he'll be finished.
Meng Changjin was a little proud of himself for catching the bamboo rat.
As a result, Wu grabbed her arm and looked her left and right, as if he was worried that something might happen to her. Meng Changjin didn't dare to be complacent anymore.
"There are poisonous snakes over there. It's very dangerous. Don't go there next time." Wu said seriously.
Meng Changjin is a man gifted by heaven and is extremely important to the tribe.
So she must never be allowed to take such a risk.
Before, Wu suggested that Meng Changjin go out with the hunting team, but that was based on the premise that there would be someone to protect him.
Wu doesn't mind letting Meng Changjin take risks within a controllable range, but she still doesn't agree with Meng Changjin going to places that are too dangerous.
For example, in the bamboo forest, if you are bitten by a wild beast, you may still survive, but if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, there is basically no hope.
"Don't worry, Great Witch. The poisonous snakes are hibernating now and won't appear." How could Meng Changjin agree to this? The bamboo forest was now her new granary and it was impossible for her not to go.
"This is..." Wu looked at Meng Changjin with a questioning look on his face.
Meng Changjin nodded at Wu and smiled, his meaning was very clear.
That is to confirm that this is what Wu thought.
As for what the witch was thinking, Meng Changjin could guess it at random. It was a gift from heaven.
After getting a positive answer, Wu felt a little relieved.
If it was a gift from heaven, then she wouldn't worry about it.
Meng Changjin smiled again, looked at the leader, and told him about the situation in the bamboo forest.
Meng Changjin said that she had discovered many bamboo rat nests. After all, her spiritual sense could not explain it. For things that could not be explained, it was correct to attribute three parts to divine gift and seven parts to guesswork.
