After listening to Meng Changjin's description of the bamboo forest, the leader was also very excited.
Isn't it because there is not enough food? Now that food is delivered to our doorstep, we are willing to take some.
There is no time to lose, of course it is best to catch it immediately.
Meng Changjin threw the captured bamboo rat to the ground and led everyone to fight in the bamboo forest again.
This time everyone brought their weapons, hemp ropes, stone spears, and was fully prepared.
After entering the bamboo forest, Meng Changjin scanned it with his spiritual sense, and then inserted a stick into every place where there were bamboo rats.
All the others had to do was find the bamboo rat hole according to the location given by Meng Changjin, dig it up and catch the bamboo rat.
This bamboo forest is quite large and there are quite a few bamboo rats.
Meng Changjin marked the positions while the others were busy catching bamboo rats.
Everyone from the Yan tribe who came to catch bamboo rats had smiles on their faces.
Harvest always brings joy, especially in this time of food shortage, it makes us even happier.
Meng Changjin was also happy. Are these bamboo rats? No!
These are the keys to her mission! When catching bamboo rats, Meng Changjin also carefully avoided bamboo shoots.
This is food too, it would be such a shame if it were spoiled.
She also plans to take the bamboo shoots back to make some dried bamboo shoots when they grow in a few days.
After a busy period, the group returned to the tribe with their hands full.
There were only a few dozen people coming to the bamboo forest to catch bamboo rats, and the others were still waiting in the tribe.
Seeing everyone going back with their hands full, smiles appeared on the faces of those looking out of the cave entrance.
This is a timely rain! Some people laughed and laughed, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Especially some elderly people.
Their old bodies no longer support them to go out hunting, so they can only eat the prey brought back by the young people.
But they didn’t feel at ease while eating.
There are even some elderly people who are thinking about not touching the food.
They are old and will die if they die, but the young people and children are the future of the tribe.
They are not afraid of death, just a little sad.
Now, with so much food replenished, we can basically get through this winter safely.
The old people were in tears, and so were the young people.
Aren’t these elderly people also their parents?
The old people want to leave more food for the young people, and the young people think the same way.
Now, no one has to make sacrifices and everyone can spend this winter safely.
The reason why he was able to survive the winter was all thanks to Meng Changjin's discovery of the bamboo rat.
Everyone looked at Meng Changjin and said words of thanks.
Meng Changjin looked at everyone thanking her in a serious manner, and everyone's face was filled with sincerity.
Meng Changjin pursed his lips and smiled.
Meng Changjin felt that she deserved everyone's gratitude.
He nodded at everyone but didn't say anything.
Meng Changjin felt that it was unnecessary to take credit for it.
What's the use of taking credit? She wouldn't want the position of leader even if she was given it.
The reason is very simple, she just needs to complete the task.
She was given the title of a leader or a witch, and she would have to deal with the aftermath when she leaves.
To put it bluntly, Meng Changjin came to this world to complete a mission, not to fight for power.
Moreover, the people of the Yan tribe really wanted her to lead them, but she didn't know how to do it.
The tribesmen didn't understand anything like flattery, so although they thanked Meng Changjin, it was the most sincere thanks, and that was all.
It’s gone, is it really gone?
When Meng Changjin returned to the cave, he had only roasted half of the bamboo rat when a lot of people came to his door, no, they came to his cave.
All the people who came were women from the tribe. They all had healthy wheat-colored skin and their facial features were regular and delicate.
It turns out that one drink can hide a hundred flaws, but if you really want to look good, skin color can’t stop your beauty.
These women all brought something to the table.
There were some stale fruits, some animal skins, some rough wood carvings and the like.
After Meng Changjin asked, she found out that these things were given to her by everyone to thank her.
Food is a basic need for everyone, so naturally they have to keep it for themselves, but some small things can be given to Meng Changjin.
Meng Changjin took a look and saw that they were all small things and gadgets.
Even if it was animal skin, it was only a small piece of skin. After thinking about it, Meng Changjin felt that it should not matter to his subordinates, so he did not refuse and simply accepted it.
Everyone saw that Meng Changjin accepted it so readily and no one said anything.
They originally wanted to give the things to Meng Changjin.
If Meng Changjin refused to accept it, they were ready to put down their things and leave.
It would be even better if Meng Changjin accepted it.
Meng Changjin accepted the things and everyone left.
The tribesmen actually get together to gossip, except in winter.
In winter, more people would choose to stay in their caves, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, which would minimize consumption.
The reason why everyone was able to come out this time was because Meng Changjin’s contribution was so great, so everyone came out to give her some things.
After the send-off, everyone naturally returned to their own caves to eat and sleep.
After the person left, Meng Changjin turned over.
Some of the fruits were no longer fresh, but there were still fruits left and I gave them to her, which actually meant I had already spent a lot of money.
This kind of thing, even if it is not new now, is still very rare.
The reason why Meng Changjin paid so much attention to these fruits was naturally not because he thought they were so tempting.
Instead, she thought of the spiritual fruits in her spiritual plant space.
She had moved quite a few spiritual fruits into the spiritual plant space at the beginning, but she almost forgot about them all after putting them in the spiritual plant space.
Now seeing these fruits, Meng Changjin suddenly remembered.
Turning the roasted bamboo rat over, Meng Changjin washed the fruits, picked up one and took a bite.
After taking this bite, Meng Changjin's expression turned stiff.
This fruit can’t be said to be unpalatable.
But it’s definitely not delicious.
It's the kind of fruit that should be very sour, but after being left for a long time, the sourness is gone.
But it won't taste sweet either.
It's just kind of bland with no flavor.
It tastes bland, but also has a bit of a strange flavor.
Meng Changjin spat out the fruit pulp. He really couldn't eat it.
After thinking about it, Meng Changjin decided not to throw away the fruits.
These fruits are the ones that the tribesmen have proven to be edible. Meng Changjin felt it was a pity to throw them away directly, so he simply peeled the flesh and threw the cores into the spiritual plant space to plant.
He took out a few spiritual fruits from the spiritual plant space again, and Meng Changjin's roasted bamboo rat was also ready.
A bite of barbecue and a bite of spiritual fruit, this life is pretty good.
After eating and drinking, Meng Changjin finally remembered the winter bamboo shoots she had dug up.
It is shameful to waste food. In other mission worlds, even in the world of the end of the world, Meng Changjin did not feel so deeply about this.
This time, Meng Changjin was particularly touched when he saw the old people in the tribe burst into tears when they saw the bamboo rat.
People also died for food in the apocalypse, but that was different and the impact was not so deep.
What we feel at the end of the world is the darkness of human nature.
In the Yan tribe, what Meng Changjin felt was the brightness of human nature.
These are two completely opposite feelings.
For someone like Meng Changjin who responds to soft words but not hard ones, the latter naturally makes her feel more deeply.
If the winter bamboo shoots are not peeled, they can be preserved for quite a long time.
But Meng Changjin now wants to make it into dried bamboo shoots.
Meng Changjin started to work right away. After peeling bamboo shoots for a while, he suddenly realized that it seemed impossible to dry them directly.
If you can’t dry it in the sun, you can only bake it.
If you want to bake, you'll need something.
Soon, Meng Changjin went out and came back with a smoothly cut stone slab.
Place stones around the fire, then put stones on top, and the cut bamboo shoots can be placed on the stones to dry.
Meng Changjin was cutting bamboo shoots with a straight knife, and was quite glad that the knife had never seen blood.
If it is a knife that has seen blood, it is really disgusting to use it to cut vegetables.
When Meng Changjin was roasting bamboo shoots, there was a canyon about one thousand meters away from the Yan tribe.
There are also many caves in the canyon.
There are three to five people in each cave.
There is also a tribe here, and its name is Crocodile, the Crocodile Tribe.
The number of people in the Crocodile Tribe is about the same as that of the current Yan Tribe, about seven or eight hundred people.
The number of people is about the same, but the area where the Crocodile Tribe settles is smaller.
Although the canyon is a very suitable place to live, it is not big enough to accommodate too many people.
How can it be possible that it can't accommodate too many people? The tribe can't stop growing just because it can't accommodate too many people, right? Of course it can't be possible.
Reproduction and growth, this is what every tribe has been committed to doing.
Now that there are more people, the caves are not enough to accommodate them, so let’s add more caves.
Is there no space to add caves in the canyon?
Then move, change place, there will always be a place that meets the requirements.
The leaders are discussing the relocation, and this matter needs to be decided as soon as possible.
When winter is over, there will probably be a lot more cubs in the tribe, so the issue of the cave must be resolved quickly.
At this time, someone mentioned the residence of the Yan tribe.
Over there is a semicircular mountain wall with hundreds of caves of various sizes, enough to accommodate thousands of people.
At this time, when we mention the residence of another tribe, the meaning is self-evident.
For these tribes, the strong is the king, and if they have the ability, they will rob.
"The Yan tribe has a large population. It's not worth it to seize their territory. If people from other tribes target us, we won't get any benefits." The leader of the Crocodile tribe still had some concerns.
He was also fortunate enough to have seen the territory of the Yan tribe. The terrain was very good, and it would be a lie to say that he was not tempted.
But no matter how excited you are, you still have to consider the issue of casualties.
"Don't worry, chief. The Yan tribe lost several teams in the last hunt before winter. They are short of food and probably don't have much left now." A captain from the Crocodile tribe said.
Hearing the captain's words, the leader of the crocodile tribe looked puzzled.
"The last hunt before winter, didn't I take the hunting team members to the south? We happened to run into them. They encountered the striped beasts, and whole team was bitten to death or maimed." The captain of the crocodile tribe said with a little pride.
After hearing the captain's words, the leader of the crocodile tribe suddenly realized.
So that's how the striped beast came about.
No wonder when the meat was being divided, the wounds on the striped beast seemed a bit messy.
But now that the truth is known, the leader of the crocodile tribe doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.
Although the striped beast was actually hunted by the people of the Yan tribe, all the people of the Yan tribe were dead or disabled, and they probably wouldn't survive. What's wrong with picking up a few prey at this time? With the words of the captain of the Crocodile Tribe, everyone analyzed it again and felt that the possibility of successfully attacking the Yan tribe was still very high.
But we can't attack rashly.
We still have to send someone to investigate.
The Crocodile Tribe plans to investigate the situation of the Yan Tribe before deciding whether to attack the Yan Tribe.
On the Yan tribe side, Meng Changjin discussed with the chief, deputy chief and others and decided to start the big pot meal mode.
The fire at the entrance of the cave does not actually provide warmth unless you get close to it.
But most of the time, everyone sleeps in the haystacks in the cave. At this time, the fire at the entrance of the cave does not have much other use except wasting firewood.
If this kind of big pot meal suggestion had been put forward before, the leader would have to consider it.
But now, it was Meng Changjin who proposed it, and the leaders agreed without thinking too much about it.
After all, it was Meng Changjin who found the bamboo rats, and the previous methods of dealing with fish and beasts were also provided by Meng Changjin. It can be said that if it were not for Meng Changjin, people might have started dying in the Yan tribe now.
For a great contributor like Meng Changjin, as long as her suggestions are not particularly outrageous, they can be agreed to.
Besides, the suggestion proposed by Meng Changjin is indeed feasible. If everyone does their own work separately, it will waste more people's time.
After all, there is nothing else to do in winter, so there is no need to worry about wasting this little time.
But the consumption of firewood is indeed quite high. It is good to save as much as possible.
At the end of winter, the Yan tribe began to eat from a big pot, and the chef was Meng Changjin himself.
Although she thinks her cooking skills are average, she has a lot of seasonings. When Meng Changjin adds a little hot pot base to a big pot of food, the taste immediately changes.
Everyone in the tribe praised Meng Changjin for his good cooking.
At times like this, Meng Changjin felt particularly guilty.
The food she cooked was really average, she just took advantage of the hotpot base and seasonings.
To put it bluntly, as long as the hot pot base is fragrant, then boiled shoe soles will also be fragrant. How can this be considered delicious food? !
