The leader of the Crocodile Tribe also understood at this time that attacking the Yan Tribe was definitely not a good choice.
We can only wait and see.
As for when this machine will appear, no one can tell for sure.
…
There is now a patrol team on the Yan tribe side.
The patrol team consists of five people in a group, and is divided into three groups for patrol every day.
After several days, no one else was seen coming around, and the three leaders realized that the Crocodile Tribe must have realized that the Yan Tribe was not a good target worthy of attacking.
Despite this, patrols are still going on.
Although the three leaders all guessed that the Crocodile Tribe would not attack the Yan Tribe, who could be sure?
What if the people of the Crocodile Tribe really go crazy? !
But obviously, the people of the Crocodile Tribe were not crazy, and nothing unusual was found until the end of winter.
As winter came to an end, people began to leave the cave.
The white snow has begun to melt, but the air is still filled with a biting chill.
But even so, the hunting team members of the Yan tribe have already begun to polish stone tools.
Winter is over and it's time to go hunting again.
Everyone in the hunting team was preparing, including Meng Changjin.
The food we had before has basically been consumed.
However, because we have learned how to handle fish and animals, people now go to the river to catch fish. The food is not very good, but we can still make a living.
In addition, over in the bamboo forest, bamboo shoots have begun to emerge.
If they don’t pop out, they are winter bamboo shoots. If they pop out, they are spring bamboo shoots.
Meng Changjin would definitely participate in the first hunting operation in spring.
Before setting off, everyone was polishing stone tools in preparation. Meng Changjin was also making preparations, but of course she didn't need to polish stone tools. A fire heart stone stick and a fire heart stone straight knife were enough for her.
What Meng Changjin meant by preparation was to prepare food for the other people in the Yan tribe.
There is really not much food left in the tribe. It takes the hunting team three to five days at the shortest and more than ten days at the longest to go out hunting.
This is actually the difference between gaining something and not gaining anything.
If you gain something when you go out, you can come back in a few days.
However, according to the client's memory, the first hunting operation in spring every year usually lasts for more than ten days.
In the next ten days or so, the remaining people in the Yan tribe may be in a situation of severe food shortage.
Of course, this was not the case in previous years. In previous years, because hunting was relatively smooth, everyone got more food, and there was still some left after the winter, enough to last until the first hunting operation in spring.
Since the food was prepared for the people in the tribe, Meng Changjin had no reason to do it himself.
Her mission was to keep the fire burning and the tribe alive, but it did not mean to raise all the people in the Yan tribe like giant babies.
Not to mention, even if Meng Changjin wanted to raise everyone in the Yan tribe as giant babies, the people of the Yan tribe would not agree.
Whatever actions Meng Changjin takes now will be conveyed to everyone through Wu.
Now, among the tribe.
The only ones who knew that Meng Changjin was "gifted by heaven" were Wu and the three leaders.
Meng Changjin didn't intend to let everyone know about this.
Therefore, before doing anything, he would first talk to the witch and the three leaders, which would also confuse them.
Knowing that Meng Changjin had discovered a new kind of food, Wu was naturally very happy.
Meng Changjin's value is now higher than that of a witch like her.
The contribution to the Yan tribe will definitely grow bigger as time goes by.
At this moment, Wu suddenly felt that perhaps her previous arrangements were too risky.
Perhaps Meng Changjin should not be involved in this hunting operation in spring.
It’s too dangerous. If something goes wrong during the hunting and causes Meng Changjin to get into trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable.
When Meng Changjin took a group of people to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots, Wu was thinking that Meng Changjin should not be allowed to participate in this hunting operation.
Meng Changjin didn't know what Wu was thinking, but even if she knew, she wouldn't change her mind.
Some of the things she had on her really needed to be taken out by going out into the wild. Besides, with her strength, going hunting was not like going home. In any case, she would not wait in the tribe and wait for others to give her food.
This bamboo forest covers a large area and grows quite a few bamboo shoots.
Meng Changjin first taught everyone several times how to find and dig bamboo shoots, and then let everyone look for them on their own.
She also spread out her spiritual awareness, and when she found a bamboo shoot, she would insert a stick as a mark. This reduced the searching time and made progress faster.
After digging the bamboo shoots out of the bamboo forest, we also have to teach everyone how to deal with them.
Meng Changjin was not sure whether eating bamboo shoots raw would cause health problems. After all, she had never eaten them before and had not specifically checked them out, so it was normal that she didn't know.
But I don’t know if eating it raw will cause any problems, but she knows how to eat it without causing any problems.
As long as we teach you how to eat in a way that won’t cause any harm, then nothing will go wrong.
It took two days of hard work to dig up all the bamboo shoots that could be found in this large bamboo forest, thanks to the efforts of many people.
The dug bamboo shoots were piled up in a cave, almost filling up this not-so-small cave.
Everyone in the hunting team is still preparing, and it will take a few days.
Meng Changjin took advantage of this time to teach everyone how to process bamboo shoots, whether to eat them fresh or to dry them for preservation.
Some people may think that tribal people have no wisdom, but in fact, they are much wiser than everyone believes.
It's just that what they were exploring was real exploration, without any reference.
In this way, they also made bone needles, stone pots and the like, and their intelligence was no less than that of people in any other era.
Therefore, everyone basically learned what Meng Changjin taught right away, and they quickly learned and mastered several methods of processing bamboo shoots.
Bamboo shoots should be considered a perfect side dish.
It actually has no taste, which gives it countless possibilities.
But it is also because of this that when bamboo shoots are eaten alone, they seem particularly bland.
Although it is bland, for the people of the Yan tribe, the enjoyment of the taste buds is not that important at this time.
It is enough to have food to fill your stomach.
After all, there are quite a lot of tasteless wild vegetables that people eat.
For them, as long as it is non-toxic and fills the stomach, who would care whether it tastes bland?
Meng Changjin wouldn't consider the taste either. Everyone has been living this way for years and doesn't care that much about the taste.
Meng Changjin only needs to consider these bamboo shoots, which are enough for the hunting team to return from hunting.
The tribesmen actually knew the importance of storing food, but it was not easy to maintain daily life with all this food, and it was extremely difficult to save some food.
There are many technical issues involved.
For example, the staple food of the tribesmen is almost all kinds of meat. If the meat is processed well, it can be preserved for a long time.
For example, smoked bacon can be preserved for a long time.
But there is a very critical point here, and that is the issue of salt.
Smoked bacon requires a lot of salt to first cure the meat, and then smoke it so that it can be preserved for a longer time.
Smoking without salt is useless.
In the Yan tribe, there is also salt.
But they were all exchanged from other tribes.
The quantity is small and it can only be used as a means of preserving meat before winter comes.
If the Yan tribe wants to use a large amount of salt to marinate meat, it would have to own a salt well of its own.
But it is obvious that the Yan tribe does not have this thing.
Then Meng Changjin couldn't just think about preserving meat.
There was also some salt in her spiritual plant space, but the amount was not too much, and it would be gone once it was used up.
At this time, it is more reliable to consider saving something else.
Of course, if he could get a lot of salt in return, Meng Changjin naturally wouldn't mind sharing the recipe of smoked bacon.
As long as grains are dried, they can be preserved for several years. Some dried vegetables and goods can also be preserved for a relatively long time.
Meng Changjin felt that more attention should be paid to these things.
While thinking about something, Meng Changjin suddenly saw Wu waving at her, asking her to come over.
Everyone here was processing the bamboo shoots and Meng Changjin didn't need to do anything, so he just went over.
Wu asked Meng Changjin to come over mainly for one purpose, which was to prevent Meng Changjin from participating in this hunting operation.
"Why? Didn't they say that after winter is over, I can go out with the hunting team?" Meng Changjin was puzzled. Wasn't this agreed upon long ago? "The first hunting operation in spring is very dangerous. We are short of food, and the same is true for the ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests. You are a man gifted by heaven, and you will contribute more to the tribe in the future. If you go out now, it is difficult to guarantee your safety." Wu still had a lot to consider.
In Wu's opinion, Meng Changjin's value now even exceeds hers.
How can such a person suffer any loss?
Meng Changjin finally understood. To put it bluntly, it was the value she demonstrated that made the witch and the leader feel that it was necessary to protect her.
As it was the first and most dangerous hunting operation of the year, she was not allowed to go.
Seeing Meng Changjin looking thoughtful, Wu continued, "It will be the same the second time you go. Don't go this time."
Meng Changjin came back to his senses from his deep thoughts, looked at Wu, and shook his head seriously: "It's different. At this time, if something appears at this time, it may not be there next time."
Wu was helpless. Of course she knew this, but even though she knew it, she still felt that Meng Changjin's safety was the most important.
Meng Changjin also roughly understood the witch's thoughts and continued, "Great witch, I can protect myself. Besides, the gift of heaven is a blessing from heaven. If I stay in the tribe all the time and don't go out, the gift of heaven will not play any role. The first hunt is indeed more dangerous, but this does not mean that future hunts will not be dangerous. You can't just hide in the tribe because you might die, right?!"
Meng Changjin spoke with emotion and reason, intending to persuade Wu.
If Wu Zhen didn't let her go and she insisted on going, it would inevitably make both parties uncomfortable.
Wu couldn't stop her, but she still planned to persuade her first.
Wu was speechless for a moment. Doesn’t what Meng Changjin said make sense?
No, that makes sense.
The first hunt in spring is only relatively more dangerous than hunting at other times.
It's not that this hunting trip is the only one that is dangerous. Going out hunting at other times will just be a waste of prey.
Everyone in the hunting team, even those veteran hunting teammates with the most hunting experience, can get injured or die when they go out hunting.
Hunting operations are actually filled with a lot of luck.
If you are lucky, you may not get hurt and hunt good prey.
If you are unlucky, there may be heavy casualties, and the prey you hunt may not be as good as you expected.
Just like the hunt before winter.
"Great wizard, think about it, since I have been gifted by heaven and blessed by God, how can I have bad luck?" Seeing a look of relief on the wizard's face, Meng Changjin hurried to strike while the iron was hot.
Wu sighed and nodded.
She felt that today's decision might not be a good one.
But what Meng Changjin said is also right.
Tianshou gave these things to Meng Changjin not to let Meng Changjin hide in the tribe.
If this is the case, Meng Changjin's advantages cannot be brought into play at all.
Let Meng Changjin go. Maybe Meng Changjin's luck is really good. After all, it is a gift from heaven. Even if she has bad luck, it won't be her turn to be gifted.
Seeing Wu nod, Meng Changjin also smiled.
Naturally, you will be happy if you get the results you want.
The witch waved his hand and asked Meng Changjin to call the leaders over. Meng Changjin knew that there was something that needed to be discussed, probably about the hunt, so he nodded and went to call the three leaders.
After calling the leader over, Meng Changjin was driven away.
Wu was discussing something with the three leaders and didn't intend for her to listen.
Meng Changjin seemed to leave obediently, but she was a person with spiritual awareness, so it was easy for her to eavesdrop.
After Meng Changjin left, Wu discussed the hunting operation with the three leaders.
Of the three leaders, only two led the team out hunting.
They are the leader and a deputy leader.
The witch general Meng Changjin said that he would still participate in the hunting, and asked the two leaders that one of them must ensure Meng Changjin's safety at that time.
As for which leader is responsible, that is a matter for the two leaders to negotiate.
As for the remaining deputy leader, he stayed in the tribe. The tribe cannot be left without anyone.
While the four of them were discussing various things, Meng Changjin's spiritual consciousness spread over quietly.
It is said to be silent, but in fact it is only silent to other people.
When Meng Changjin's spiritual consciousness spread into Wu's cave, the expression on Wu's face froze slightly.
Then, a smile appeared on his face.
Perhaps, letting Meng Changjin participate in the hunting operation is not a bad thing.
