Travel through prehistory with a commissary

Yu Xin flicked her knees, sat up on her knees, and rubbed her ears with both hands: "Why are you talking so close to me?"

"Hey! The fish is ready!" shouted a member of the collection team who was watching the situation of the fish basket by the river.

Shanyue and the others smiled at Yu Xin, got up one after another and walked to the river.Yu Xin covered her ears and stared at Shuo depressedly. If he hadn't suddenly whispered into her ear, she would have had time to ask Shanyue questions.

As long as he knows Shanyue's wish, he can complete the chalk task.Completing the chalk quest might be rewarded with extra diamonds so he can buy it when he gets to the salt.With salt, people in the tribe who get sick due to lack of salt can get well soon.

Is his question a matter of life or death?

Hmph, stare at you.Yu Xin glared at Shuo with what she thought was the most fierce expression.

"Are you angry?" Shuo asked, the ear tips of the person in front of him were red and red, and his expression was like a big angry squirrel.Shuo, who had seen the furious saber-toothed tiger before, was not afraid at all, but felt a little amusing, and wanted to touch his soft short hair.

"Suo! Xin! The fish are coming up!" The members of the collection team beckoned and asked them to help.

"Going?" Shuo asked Yu Xin. Although he didn't know why, he made Yu Xin angry.Shuo stretched out a finger and touched Yu Xin's arm.He looks so weak that he always feels like he will shatter if he touches it casually.

Yu Xin worked hard to maintain a fierce staring expression.

But a little tired.

Yu Xin twitched the corner of her mouth and slid down the ladder built by Shuo. Before getting off the ladder, she added seriously: "Next time, don't talk so close to me, it will itch."

"I'll catch you." Shuo said.

"I don't want it." Yu Xin ran away in a hurry, and went to the shore to help the people of the collection team.

Today's collection team had a great harvest. They used the fish basket together to catch more than 50 fish, as well as many shrimps and crabs, and piled them all into the big basket in Shuo.

Because of the large size of the people here, Yu Xin deliberately made it bigger when making the backpack, and it is more than enough to put so many things in it at this time.

When the people in the collection team loaded the fish, they couldn't stop boasting: "Xin, you are so powerful. It's so easy to catch fish with a fish basket. You are as smart as an old priest."

Yu Xin thought of the old priest with gray hair and wrinkled face like a Victorian petticoat. She didn't know whether to say thank you or goodbye, so she kept smiling.

After catching fish here, the hunting team in the forest is also done.

They were very lucky today, and even encountered a sub-adult wild boar.

Now the wild boar's four hooves were tied to a bamboo pole, and Chi and Ding were carrying it one after the other. Ming and a group of children followed them. Some of them had scratches on their faces and hands, but they all looked happy.

When Ming saw Yu Xin and the others, he was the first to run up and shout, "Look, Xin! Is the wild boar we caught big?"

"Big, so big!" Yu Xin said.

This wild boar is not yet an adult, but it is as big as a modern domestic pig. Unlike the smooth pink skin of domestic pigs, the wild boar is brown and black, with hard mane hair, tangled muscles, and two long eyes. tusks.

"You are so amazing!" Yu Xin exclaimed again.

Ming rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, proud and a little shy.

Afraid of his head being slapped, Chi said loudly, "Don't be too complacent, you little pig. It's just a little pig. When your older brother takes you to hunt bison, it will be the real guy."

"Ouch." Ming covered Tianling Gai who was suddenly attacked, and said excitedly, "Okay, okay, I must eat a lot of meat, grow up quickly!"

When Yu Xin and the others returned to the tribe, Wu Yan's team just came back.They didn't go far today, and they had a good understanding with Chi and the others, and the cub they beat was a fawn.

When Wu Yan's people met Shuo's people, they would choke a few words as usual.Today is still restrained, there is no pushing and fighting.

Because Yu Xin won the fish-catching competition, Shuo's people are more confident. Who will let Yu Xin have a good relationship with their boss?

Because there is no salt and there is not enough prey, the animal blood that everyone can get every day is limited. Many people in the tribe have symptoms of salt deficiency, including hunting teams and gathering teams.

When distributing the prey, Shuo took the initiative to discuss with Wu Yan: "There are many people in the tribe who lack salt, shall we share all the animal blood with them today?"

"Yes." Wu Yan also noticed this situation. There are such people in his hunting team, "But the prey is brought back by the hunting team, and the soldiers of the hunting team should be given priority."

Shuo disapproved: "As long as healthy people don't drink animal blood today, it will be enough to share equally with sick people." It doesn't matter if healthy people don't drink for a day, but sick people can get better quickly if they get supplements.

"No." Wu Yan was very resolute, "Soldiers must be given priority, and healthy soldiers must also drink."

"Wu Yan is right," Wu Yan's subordinates chimed in, "You only have animal blood to drink and meat to eat when the soldiers come back from hunting, so you should give priority to the soldiers!"

The people under Wu Yan began to yell, and Shuo's people naturally wouldn't give in, and immediately said: "The sick people should be given priority, and they must get better quickly!"

"The prey that the soldiers have worked so hard to get, why should they be distributed to them?" Another person behind Wu Yan shouted, it was the one who laughed at Yu Xinniang before, Chi and the others saw that he was particularly disliked, and they were ready to shake their fists at the slightest disagreement up.

"Stay... cough cough cough cough... hold... cough cough cough cough..."

"stop!"

Two voices sounded simultaneously.

One belonged to Shuo, and the other belonged to the patriarch who was coughing faintly.

The patriarch appeared, and everyone consciously gave way.Leaning on a crutch made of a thick wooden branch, supported by others, he walked towards the center of the crowd little by little, and sat on a big rock.

"Patriarch, Shuo and the others want to distribute all the beast blood to the old and the weak, we refuse to accept it!" said the man who had almost fought with Chi just now.

Chi retorted loudly: "You are talking nonsense, we are talking about sick people! Sick soldiers are also counted."

Ye Ran came back: "Most of the sick are the old and the weak, shouldn't we just give it to them?"

"Stop...cough cough cough, shut up." The patriarch finally held back his cough and said a complete sentence.With trembling hands, he untied a small bag hanging from his waist, and said to the old priest who rushed over at some point, "Give them a drink...cough cough cough."

Yu Xin was beside Shuo. He stood on tiptoe and approached Shuo's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Is he your father? Do you want me to treat his illness?"

"He's not injured." Shuo said without expression.

Yu Xin thought for a while and said, "I'm good at treating contagious or viral diseases, as well as trauma. It should be a chronic disease. It's a bit difficult, but it can be delayed for a few days."

"Yeah." Shuo nodded.

"Are you not very close to your father?" Yu Xin asked again in a low voice.

Shuo looked at him suspiciously, and the patriarch called him, and Shuo walked over.

This question has been in Yu Xin's mind for some time. Shuo is the patriarch's son. Everyone in the tribe knows this, but he is not close to the patriarch at all.These days, I have only visited my sick father once or twice, which is no different from the frequency of ordinary people.

Moreover, the patriarch lived in a cave under a mound on the other side of the tribe, and Shuo lived in a cave on the cliff where the big rock cave was located. They did not live together.

In fact, very few people in the tribe live with their parents, and even fewer couples live together. Even a few pregnant women in the tribe do not live with their men. They only talk occasionally. Men will share some of their own food with pregnant women. There are also indiscriminate.

Some pregnant women live in the big cave, and some live with brothers, sisters or mothers, but they rarely live with their husbands.

Most of the children in the tribe live with their mothers, and when they get older, they will move to the big cave where they live collectively. Few of them live with their fathers.

The bag that the patriarch took out turned out to be salt. After the old priest got it, he took a few strong men from the tribe and took out the only pot in the tribe, set it on the fire, and boiled water.

Yu Xin had seen this pot once before. When Shuo and the others hunted bison, the tribe used this pot to stew beef bone soup.But the taste is indescribable.

If Yu Xin is not mistaken, this pot is made of copper with patterns on it.

Although there are scorching marks on the bottom, the body of the pot is still golden, which is very eye-catching in the sun.

With Hao's productivity level, it is impossible to manufacture such a large copper pot.

"After the water is boiled, pour salt into it, let each sick person drink a little." The old priest said, "But this is the last salt in the tribe, we must find a way to find new salt."

After the old priest's words, the tribe suddenly fell silent, and even the faces of the children became serious.

Shuo said: "We will find a way. The biggest problem now is that some people in the hunting team are possessed by evil spirits, and there are not enough people. Even after drinking salt water, they will have to rest for a few days before they can go hunting."

Ming squeezed out of the crowd with several other children and said, "We can join the hunting team!"

"How tall are you?" Chi said, "No, you will be eaten by the saber-toothed tiger if you join now."

"I can do it!" Ming said.

"No." Shuo said.

When Shuo spoke, Ming didn't refute. He trusted Shuo very much.But he couldn't help but ask, "When will it be?"

Sho rubbed his shoulders: "It will be fine when you grow to this height."

"Okay." Ming clenched two small fists, he will definitely work hard to grow taller.

"I can join the hunting team." A resolute female voice sounded.Everyone is familiar with this voice, it is the captain of the collection team, Shanyue.

Wu Yan laughed loudly: "You are a woman, you cannot join the hunting team."

Ye Yi boxed his chest next to Wu Yan: "Shanyue, just stay in the collection team, we will hunt prey and bring it back for you to eat." Several other men also laughed, and there was a bit of contempt in their smiles.

The members of the collection team refused to accept it, and stepped forward and said: "Shanyue is very powerful, please don't laugh."

"Awesome?" Wu Yan looked Shanyue up and down, "You are just a woman, although you are better than other women, you can't hunt."

"What's the relationship between men and women? Hunting is based on skill and endurance, not gender." Yu Xin stepped forward and said.When the collection team went out, he had seen Shanyue deal with the animals in the forest very well. At that time, he wondered why she didn’t go to the hunting team, but to the collection team. set.

"The hunters are all men, this is the relationship!" Wu Yan said very firmly.

An unreasonable old man, Yu Xin slandered him.

Chi touched Yu Xin's arm with his arm, bowed his head and said in a low voice: "Isn't it good to let Shanyue join the hunting team? What if I get injured?"

Yu Xin glanced at him: "You can hunt and get injured, but she can't?"

"It's not like that." Chi scratched his face, "No woman in the tribe has ever gone hunting."

"Have you ever seen a lion?" Yu Xin asked suddenly.

Chi felt that he was being looked down upon, and immediately pulled himself together and said, "As a hunter, I have certainly seen the king on the grassland."

Yu Xin asked other people, Wu Yan didn't want to talk to him, but most of the hunting team replied that they had seen him.

Yu Xin said again: "In the tribe of lions, lionesses hunt. In the tribe of men, of course women can also hunt. It doesn't matter whether there is a male hunter or a female hunter. The one who catches the prey is a good hunter."

Chi touched the tangled hair on his head: "It seems to be the reason."

The patriarch also nodded, agreeing with Yu Xin's words.

The people in the collection team all recognized Shanyue's strength, and when they saw Yu Xin helping her speak, they kept praising Yu Xin for being right, Yu Xin was so smart, and Yu Xin knew everything.

In the end, Shuo made the decision: "Shanyue will go hunting with us starting tomorrow."

As soon as Shuo's words came out, Shanyue, who was originally calm, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

Yu Xin felt like Conan, a light flashed through her mind, and she suddenly figured it out.

At the same time, with a ding-dong sound, the system prompts: "Congratulations to the host for completing the mission "Shanyue's Wish". The sacrificial chalk has been unlocked, please check it."
