I'm doing shopping in the original

The captives, of course, did not disappear on the spot.

Almost everyone was crowded in the medical room. Some of them had chilblains on their hands, feet, faces and ears. Some were mild and some were serious. A fire was lit in the medical room, and many people had chilblains on their bodies due to the heat. When it started to itch, Amber didn't care about them. After applying medicine to everyone, she began to arrange different tasks according to their injuries.

There is indeed dried snake meat in the tribe, as well as boiled snake oil.

Since the beginning of food storage, the meat and fat in the tribe have been completely separated and stored, the fat has been fried into oil for storage, and the meat has been dried and smoked.

It is too cold in winter, even if there is only a little oil in the boiled broth, it will condense and form a layer of white grease on the surface.

It's just that these are all food. If Yan hadn't explained it, Hu Po would never have thought that snake oil could be used to prevent frostbite.It was inconvenient for a pregnant woman, so Xisi was called by Amber to give medicine to the group of captives. Dozens of them were very honest, they had all been beaten by Amber, and they already had an absolute sense of awe towards her, so They were all timid and afraid to speak.

Feng Dong was one of the first women left behind in this group of captives, and she was also the one who could talk more, because these captives were not companions who joined the tribe, so everyone didn't bother to teach them how to talk about tribes. She has studied the words carefully, but she dare not communicate rashly. In addition, she has no part to speak, so she cannot confirm the authenticity. Most of the time, she listens silently and records similar sounds and meanings.

She knew that the scariest and most powerful woman was the leader of the tribe, and most people called her "chief", only the two men who didn't appear often called her "Amber", both words were referring to her; The woman who came to help was called "Xisi", she was in charge of a very strange tool that could make a lot of "cloth"; Well, if someone is sick, she sneaks in a little extra food.

But there are still a lot of words, Feng Dong is learning slowly, if these people speak too hastily, she can only catch the key words to understand like a student who is taking an English test for CET-[-].

"Windwinter."

A companion quietly approached her and stretched out her wiped hands. There was something snow-white inside that delicate and beautiful object. The snow-white ointment had just been wiped on their wounds, and the pain has eased a lot now , but there was a little enthusiasm, she asked in a low voice, "What are these people talking about?"

It was the first time for them to come here, and the things on the chilblains should be medicinal herbs, but what the terrible woman brought was clearly the oil that they would boil on the slate when they ate.

Speaking of which, the white paste on the wound also looks a lot like oil...

"Oil." Feng Dong carefully swallowed her saliva, she looked at her companion, her eyes suddenly became frightened, "They are talking about oil..."

Oil was useless at this time, only for cooking, Feng Dong and the others never had the means to eat that, but this kind of thing was not strange, not every tribe was so rich.Being able to eat soup and meat in winter, and to drink hot soup in such a cold moment is enough for them to be pleasantly surprised.

Rub oil on the wound, and now bring out the oil can in front of them.

Of course it couldn't be any other reason, Feng Dong's face suddenly turned pale, their tribe usually doesn't know how to eat people, but when they run out of food in winter, their companions are also food, weak people or dead women, There are also dead people who will become winter food reserves. Even if a companion dies on weekdays, as long as he does not die of illness, everyone will bring the body back and eat him completely.

Feng Dong originally thought that this seemed to be rich enough - those piles of food, and so much meat, such a tribe would not eat them.

Now it seems that they are all going to be food for winter.

They would be cut up and hung in rows on wooden racks like dried meat.

Fear made Feng Dong limp to the ground, she looked at the hemp grass in her hands, and realized in despair that this tribe still wanted them to do all the work before she was eaten.

No matter how ignorant or weak a person is, they will inspire infinite courage in the face of the desire to survive, not to mention that Feng Dong's obedience is originally because she wants to live, so she doesn't mind how to live, and she doesn't mind surrendering , have been working so hard to get more rewards.

Beneath her submissiveness and obedience, there was an instinct of not wanting to die like this.

Feng Dong jumped out of the crowd almost instinctively, she was tripped by someone, and fell directly on the ground, her nose was bleeding immediately, her eyes were dazzled by the pain, she ignored it and was startled from the side Standing up, Xisi subconsciously grabbed Hu Po's clothes, her eyes shook, and it was Hu Po's indifferent figure shaking, "No..."

The woman's hoarse voice repeated the weird tone "No, die, don't kill, don't eat."

The tug just now almost knocked over the oil tank, and Hu Po managed to stabilize the tank when she saw Feng Dong, who had a nosebleed profusely, making her face crimson, which looked a bit frightening and frightening .

Feng Dong had never communicated with anyone before, so it was impossible to talk about the severity of the tone, so at the beginning, Amber could barely understand what the woman was saying, until she kept saying those words over and over again, and finally the pronunciation gradually matched. With the familiar language in her mind, Amber stared at her in surprise, then looked at the oil can in her hand, and said to Xisi thoughtfully, "Xisi, go and call the witch."

"Oh." Xi Si stood up quickly, she looked at Feng Dong in surprise, and most of the people didn't know what happened, so they just sat blankly and looked at their companions with bruised noses and swollen faces. Showing anger, he was dragged to sit down again, no one wanted to die, not to mention that the hostility and spirit when he was just captured had been worn away, and now the captives have no energy and dare not be beaten Revolt, not to mention Amber hasn't done it yet

Hu Po pinched Feng Dong's chin and observed for a while, and after confirming that the woman was not injured but just bleeding from her nose, she was slightly relieved.

Even among this large group of captives, Hu Po cared differently. Feng Dong was the most industrious and docile among them. She hardly slacked off and was beaten the least often. She even intentionally let this woman join the tribe.

"You speak our language?"

Amber asked slowly, raising her eyebrows slightly.

But Feng Dong was terrified, and just kept repeating those words upside down.

Amber sighed slightly, it seemed that she could only wait for Wu to come.

Yan Xiaowang, who happened to finish his walk, was also fine. After throwing his chubby son to Mo for training—he was also big-hearted, and he was not afraid of revenge on Yan Xiaowang from Mo, who had been beaten up by him, but the grievances of adults are very serious Don't involve children, let alone people like Mo, he will only teach Yan Xiaowang severely, and he will not do such shameless things as deliberate mischief, and it is impossible for him to do it.

Shameless also needs corresponding interests to learn.

When Xisi found Wuluo, the skirt made of silk and hemp was about to fly off. She was only wearing straw sandals, not wrapped in animal skins. After running into the snow, she felt that the soles of her feet were wet and very cold, so she hurried to Grab the walking Uro and run back.

"Xisi, what's the matter?"

"Wu, the leader is looking for you, and there is one more..." Xisi would not be frightened by things like blood, but suspected that something was wrong with Feng Dong's brain. She thought about how to describe it, "There is a woman, that The more obedient woman suddenly fell to the ground, grabbed the leader and yelled."

no?Are there rabies lurkers in this group?

When Wu Luo heard this description, he immediately guessed the worst ending, couldn't help but trembled, and then walked back together with Xisi, he hurriedly opened the door and rushed in, and saw that Xisi described The woman in the middle of the night had a lot of nosebleeds, but it had stopped now, and half of her face was pulled away, all rubbing against Amber's skirt.

"Amber——" Uoma immediately suppressed her voice. The woman obviously didn't show any signs of illness at all. It seemed that she was begging Amber for something. Tears made a mess of blood, "What happened?" ?”

Amber wondered, "Did Yan come?"

"Are you looking for Yan?" Wu Luo felt even more incredible, "Then you still let Xisi call me? It's none of my business."

Amber said regretfully, "He has been with you all this time, I thought that if I found you, I would be able to find Yan."

"..."

I don't know if it's because Wu Luo has a ghost in his heart, but he really thinks this sentence is a bit weird.

"Find me?"

And Yan completely lived up to Amber's expectations, and quickly walked out from behind the door. He seemed to have just arrived, but with the average hearing ability of people in this world, it is entirely possible to listen to the entire conversation and continue to answer. reasonable.He happily ducked in with his head down, his eyes swept over everyone, and there was a gust of cold wind when he walked, completely taking away the dominance of everyone, as if he was born to be in a high position, he walked to his seat calmly and sat down, looking up amber in amazement.

"I'm here, tell me."

Uro couldn't help shaking his head and sighed, "Amber is so clever."

"Just right?" Xisi couldn't help asking.

"People who are too smart are always blindly confident, especially if they think they are smart." Wu Luo pointed out, his eyes fell on Yan's face with a smile, he ran too fast when he was pulled by Xi Si, and his neck was still a little Pain, so deliberately retaliating, it sounds like explaining to Xisi, but in fact it is expressing dissatisfaction with the people in the seat, "I always think that I am all right, and smart people who are not too smart know how to save the country, and will not rely too much on it." With my own wisdom, I have many choices.”

Yan Chong said, "Yes, Hu Po, you shouldn't be so blindly confident."

amber"???"

If Amber hadn't gone through the nine-year compulsory education, she would probably say now, "It's none of my mother's business."

But Amber still expressed this sentence vividly and vividly with her expression. Of course, she couldn't understand what kind of meditation these two great gods were playing, but she just held the oil tank with a sullen expression. Anyway, the person has already arrived, what to say "Yan, she can say a few of our words, but I can't understand, do you know what they are talking about?"

Yan slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Dong. Of course he could understand what these people were chattering all day long, so he asked straightforwardly, "What's wrong with you?"

The familiar words made all the captives look at him subconsciously, but Feng Dong turned his head quickly, so fast that one could almost hear the sound of bones, it seemed that he didn't take himself seriously at all, and looked like Uro There was a soreness in his neck, and he couldn't help hissing twice.

"You...you can speak our words?"

"Yes." Yan Xi's words are like gold. If he becomes a lawyer, he will probably have to charge by the words. He looked at Feng Dong casually.

Feng Dong originally thought that there was no hope of survival, she didn't know if the words she had learned were correct, she stammered, seeing that Amber didn't seem to understand and didn't intend to forgive them, she shivered even more, now she found that Yan could speak their words , and immediately crawled over on hands and feet, her palm was cut open by a wooden thorn on the ground, she didn't feel any pain, and stammered, "We—"

She turned her head to look at the others, swallowed, "We will work hard and eat very little, can you stop eating us?"

To say that no one knew how Feng Dong suddenly became like that before, after she uttered these words, the whole audience fell silent, and even the faces of the men showed a look of panic.If they had said it before Hu Po came, they might have violently hurt others. After all, there were only a few women at that time, but now that Yan was here, the little courage left by everyone disappeared immediately.

All the captives tried their best to shrink themselves into a small group of mushrooms to avoid being picked out and eaten.

Some of the bigger ones hugged themselves even tighter.

"..."

Yan couldn't help looking at Amber.

Amber was confused, and asked, "How, what did she say? Did you understand? I kept telling me to eat, die, and kill. Could it be that they want to go hunting and escape?"

Yan couldn't say a word, "They thought...you were going to eat them."

"Ah—?" Amber looked bewildered, "We don't have the habit of cannibalism."

"I think so." Yan quietly looked at the oil tank in Hu Po's hand, and he said calmly, "I think it's the thing you're holding that misunderstood them, they thought they were going to be caught and skinned by the tribe The cramps are hung into jerky."

Hu Po looked down at the oil tank, and then she suddenly realized, she looked at Feng Dong, and then at the trembling crowd, she suddenly settled down, and said slowly, "Yan, does this mean that they are already obedient, I'm afraid of us, so I won't run away casually. Even if I want to be made into jerky and don't resist, then is it considered that we have successfully domesticated?"

"It's up to you to decide."

When domesticating animals, Hu Po remembers that Yan Xiaowang taught the children a few tricks. Different beasts have different characteristics. A wolf will hurt its nose if it hits its nose, and a silly beast will walk away if it pulls its ears. Rabbits should grab their necks to avoid being kicked. ——If you scratch your ears, you will die easily...

The most important thing is that if you want the beasts to get used to your smell, besides beating them to scare them, you also need to feed them more grass and water to let them know that they have delicious food here.

If these people were lazy at work, Amber would beat them on weekdays. Now that they are obedient, it's time to feed the grass.

Amber pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then Yan, tell them that you don't intend to eat them, this is the food that I plan to give them today."

As a hard-hearted translator, Yan conveyed the meaning of Amber truthfully, which made Feng Dong sit dumbfounded on the ground, a little unbelievable what he heard.

"Okay. Work hard!"

Hu Po nodded to Yan, and her tone became fierce again. This time, Feng Dong scrambled back to his original position and started working again. After so long of tempering, they all knew that only by doing work The person who gets the most can get the most food, sometimes even a whole fish, and now it’s not like sitting outside doing work like before, the room is warm, and people who have been suffering in the cold for several days are even more so. Work hard.

They don't know much about other words, but they are very familiar with the word work.

Amber didn't care much about them, but carefully took out a little bit of white oil from the oil tank and rubbed it on her hands, only to feel that it was wet and sticky after being melted by the high temperature in the palm, similar to hand cream. Feeling, smelling it closely, there is still a little oily smell, so I subconsciously licked it, feeling the oil star on the tip of the tongue.

"Is this really medicine?" Amber looked at Yan.

Yan nodded.

Amber was dubious, so she wiped some for Xisi. Xisi's hands were relatively dry due to long-term spinning and weaving. She was a little surprised by this behavior, but she rubbed her hands together, looking at the expectant eyes of the leader, for a long while. He choked out a sentence, "It's sticky, it's not so dry anymore."

This is barely good news. Amber looked at the whole jar of snake oil and decided to take it home for everyone to rub on, especially children. It's better than rubbing the medicine after it's cracked.

Chilblains are still very painful, painful and itchy, especially after they are used to bathing in hot water, some severe cases are almost bloody.

I was scolded by Uro several times last winter.

Uro walked over and leaned against Yan's table, his eyes still resting on Amber, and quickly glanced at the group of captives who were working seriously, and said slowly, "I think the time is ripe now."

"Huh?" Yan patiently supported the table, lest this unreliable table would be directly pushed by Wu Luo, and said slowly, "What timing?"

"Of course it's time for a purchasing agent." Wu Luo put her hands in her sleeves and said with squinted eyes, "Now she has enough judgment and decision-making ability, and my business line can finally start."

Yan pretended to be surprised and said, "Have you not given up on your fruit purchasing agent yet?"

"...I have never given up, but people always have to pursue. Can't the canteen work hard and work hard to become a well-known large enterprise at home and abroad?"

Yan perfunctorily said, "I wish you success."

"Shouldn't you support me?"

"If I hadn't supported you, you would be on the ground now." Yan slowly let go of one hand, and Wu Luo suddenly felt the table behind him slip, and almost bent down on the spot. Clutching another hand that didn't belong to him at all, the old god on the other side asked, "Now, am I enough to support you?"

Uro: "... Enough."

When Wu Luo was about to leave, Yan still couldn't help but said, "You are finally willing to make some bolder attempts."

"I was just waiting for the right time." Uro replied casually, "It's just your wishful thinking that I was too conservative. Now that the time is finally ripe, of course I can tell Amber that she has a golden finger that she can use. As for how to use it and how to think about it, that’s another matter, if she still wants to kill herself, then I don’t think such a tribe will last long.”

It’s better to be so hard-spoken, people are social animals, and it’s inevitable to communicate with others. A man like Yan will feel pity for an innocent baby, and he will raise Yan Xiaowang regardless of the cost and trouble. It's not because Yan Xiaowang is cute, nor is it because he has a lot of sympathy, but because he really needs someone to relieve his loneliness.

Yan Xiaowang just happened to appear at that time.

At night, Amber really killed an old stupid beast and a pheasant. Their meat stock is actually far less than fish. Even if a small tribe of dozens of people eats this water for several generations, it is estimated that they will not be able to eat the fish in it. In addition, once they have enough to eat, they will not go fishing again, so the fish in the river will only see more and more.

This is also the reason why the captives can drink the fish soup.

Of course, Amber would not be so kind as to distribute the precious meat to the captives. This group of people had more than 20 mouths, and each of them could eat the stupid beast alive in one mouthful. Therefore, they just separated some of the internal organs and fried them in oil. Crumble it for them to share.These offals were originally processed by the men in the tribe, and their appetites were generally large. Fortunately, there was wheat later, and the pounded rice and ground flour could fill their stomachs very well.

Of course, the taste of this kind of offal is not good, it is just dipped in some oil, fried half-cooked, and even has a strong fishy smell when bitten, but it is enough for the captives to gobble it up. They have been eating fruit and hot fish soup for a long time, which is rare. Improve the food, not to mention the fishy smell, even if they are asked to eat it raw, they still think it is supremely delicious.

After eating, Hu Po asked someone to rub some medicine on them, and let them start to tan the skin of the silly beast. She didn't waste any time, and she never gave the group of prisoners any time to rest.

But probably because of the delicious dinner, this group of people also worked hard.

"Happy is the man who is easily satisfied."

Wu Luo said with emotion that their pot of salted fish soup was cooked just right, and there was no need to add any salt. The fish was soaked in water, and it was slightly salty, and the salt on the fish was taken away by the water, so it didn't taste that bad. Bite, a small bowl of half-moist and half-soft brown rice, and a piece of oily bread.

Even for people in the tribe, this is a luxury.

Amber was burying her head in grilling rice, and she was in no mood to pay attention to Uro, while Mo chose the latter between rice and bread today, and was seriously eating meat with bread.

Yan distributed his own meat to Yan Xiaowang.

"What a loser a loving father is."

Wu Luo sighed, and also took a piece of meat for Yan Xiaowang.
