On the other side of the crabapple tree, they were calculating the wheat harvest, planning to start picking it again in a few days. However, they didn't know if there was still rice left on the other side of the valley.
Springtime is long, but winter is also long, six months... How many people will starve to death under such circumstances? Everyone is working hard.
If you have livestock, then keep them. If you raise them well, at least you'll have a food source in winter.
The next day, Haitang took people out again, but instead of getting the jackfruit, she went to find other things to eat.
Haitang walked quite far again today. Xiao Ha followed beside her, looking around. Haitang looked around and said, "It seems no one has come here to pick fruit. Hey... if we had horses, we wouldn't have to rely on them to teach us how to walk when we go out to pick fruit."
"Sister, what are horses?" Yueyue asked. Upon hearing this, Haitang described them to Yueyue, and Yueyue blinked.
"Oh, I know, but these are only found on the grasslands. If you like them, you can talk to the tribe and exchange them for a lot of money." He said, looking at the crabapple tree.
"Sister, I heard from Father that because this winter is even worse, there will be an even bigger trade fair. There are wild animals that can be traded there, and sometimes even wolf cubs." Yueyue said, looking at Haitang. Yueyue's words made Haitang stop.
"Then we should go and take a look." Haitang nodded and said that if they went to take a look, they could find a pony and bring it back. They could go out to pick fruits and vegetables, get horses... and then they could get more food.
The most important thing now is that walking takes time, and having horses is the best solution. Haitang looked around and saw fruit trees everywhere, but she wasn't very interested in the fruit.
The green ones are ones that Haitang doesn't recognize, but all the females in the tribe eat them, so they must be a newer variety. Haitang plans to keep looking for more.
Food is the most important thing. Haitang looked around. She was obsessed with food. Today's harvest was good. She found a lot of sweet potatoes and carried them back.
When they got back, Haitang saw that Dongfang Long had bumps all over his face. "What happened to you?" Haitang looked unwell. Why did Dongfang Long have bumps all over his face? What stung him?
"You got stung by a bee, look, I've made you something delicious." Dongfang Long took out a beehive with honey inside. Haitang looked at Dongfang Long and said, "I saw many females in the leopard tribe love it."
However, this stuff is dangerous. He saw it today and thought Haitang would like it, so he made it for her. Haitang didn't expect Dongfang Long to make honey for her, and she felt a little complicated. "I'll apply the medicine for you, Xiaohe... put the honey in a container and give some to the baby." Dongfang Long was unhappy and fuming.
Haitang patted the other's cheek and said, "Don't worry, I'll try it later. I won't let you waste your time." Haitang looked at Dongfang Long and said, and Dongfang Long immediately smiled.
"Don't give too much to others, it hurts me a lot," Dongfang Long said. He was in a lot of pain. Haitang glared at Dongfang Long and carefully applied the medicine to him.
"You, don't do that again next time. If you dare... I won't be polite. Don't you know you should cherish yourself?" Haitang said to Dongfang Long. "If you encounter poisonous bees, you'll be asking for death."
"Don't worry, Tangtang, I know Poison Bee." Haitang was furious with Dongfang Long. "It hurts..." Dongfang Long felt Haitang's hand tighten and immediately cried out in pain. Hearing Dongfang Long cry out in pain, Haitang felt sorry for him and lightened her grip considerably.
"Tangtang honey is delicious," Dongfang Long said. Giving food to females is a way of courting. He was thinking of giving it to Haitang now, because she would be his in the future. "Don't give too much to others, just a little bit to you, little one."
"It's a little better, I'll keep it." Haitang sighed. While she was preparing the strawberries for herself, Dongfang Long also insisted on keeping them and didn't want to give them to anyone else. "You... how can you be so domineering?"
"That's because you didn't even eat it yourself, you gave it all to others. I feel sorry for Tangtang..." Dongfang Long said. Haitang was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond to the little kid talking to her.
A sweet feeling welled up inside her, along with a touch of warmth. "I really didn't spoil you for nothing." Dongfang Long was indeed a good boy; she hadn't spoiled him for nothing.
Haitang realized that the person in her family who cared about her the most was Dongfang Long. Dongfang Long would secretly bring her food, showing concern for her and wanting to do the best for her. She was growing to like this child more and more.
Dongfang Long immediately smiled happily, though his face was in great pain. Tangtang was very happy and said that next time she saw him doing it, she should be more careful.
Shi Hu also had a bump on one side of his face, caused by Dongfang Long. Xiao He applied medicine to Shi Hu's face, and Shi Hu touched his face. Oh well... that kid only cares about his daughter, so he doesn't mind that he caused him trouble.
The honey crabapple was diluted with water, and crabapple was mixed with fruit. The sweet and sour taste was very good. Crabapple offered Xiaohe a sip, and Xiaohe's eyes lit up, but she quickly shook her head.
Xiao Long gave it to his sister, but she shouldn't drink it, otherwise she'll be killed by Xiao Long's eyes tomorrow. When Haitang drank it, she was so happy that she slept much more comfortably at night.
The next day, Dongfang Long would check on Haitang to see if she was drinking honey. When Haitang was drinking honey, Dongfang Long would wave to her as he left, and Haitang would wave back.
As she was leaving, Haitang thought that honey tasted good, and since it was given to her by Dongfang Long, she could drink it all by herself. Most importantly, she was also craving it.
When Haitang and Xiaolu went out, the wheat was starting to turn yellow again. As it turned yellow, some people started to break off pieces, but Haitang looked at them and didn't join in.
