It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

Primitive people's fishing is still very backward. Standing on a reef and throwing a fishing net and then fishing it out, it doesn't matter what you catch, until you can't catch anything anymore, you can change to another reef and continue fishing. Smarter people will pick some sea water deep places, and the clumsy ones just keep changing places, let alone the extravagant expectation that they will fish selectively.

Song Lai is teaching these newcomers how to classify the seafood they catch, and how to deal with those who can eat and those who can’t. Put it separately and dry it, put it in the sun for two days by the sea, wait until the moisture is gone, then put it away, this round one is herring, herring is very delicious, and there is only one thorn, which is quite good, this kind of fish needs to be pickled with salt Make it up, remove the internal organs of the fish, and rub the fish skin twice with salt. This fish has no scales but the fish skin is very fishy, ​​so you need to rub the fish skin several times with salt, which can effectively remove the fishy smell. Then put the fish in a pottery jar, pack a layer of fish and a layer of salt, pack it tightly and put it in a cool place. This..."

Just when Song Lai was talking vigorously, the patriarch led some people into the camp. "Do as I said first, I have something to leave." After speaking, he walked towards the patriarch, and Song Lai found that even Oss and Rich had come.Even Rich was holding the baby in his arms, and Xiaoxiao was still following him under his feet!Song Lai hurried up to meet him, holding the baby in his arms.The baby obediently put his head on Song Lai's shoulder, gently rubbing his cheek against Song Lai's cheek, and softly called Dad.It made Song Lai's heart sour and sweet.

"Patriarch, you are here." Turning around, he greeted the patriarch softly. "Well, the matter is so important that I even brought Oss with me. You might not feel at ease if you leave your baby at home by yourself, so you brought it together. You will go together when you go back." The patriarch explained why After the baby was brought, he went directly to the temporary residence.An Ye and Huang Yang were already standing at the door waiting for the group of them to enter the house without knowing what they were plotting again.The entire camp began to visibly tense up.

Song Lai found that the people who came this time were all young and strong men, and only three adult women came with them. These three women were not very familiar with Song Lai, and Song Lai only knew that they were three women without a partner. All of my partners died due to accidents.Usually in the tribe, I also rely on the donations from everyone and the things I collect.Perhaps because they don't have a partner, they always collect more and faster than other people. Song Lai still respects them very much, and often asks An Ye to deliver some food, but he doesn't usually interact with them too much.

The leader of the three women was named Xue Na. When she saw the patriarch and the others entered the house, she walked towards Song Lai, "Why did you follow me?" Song Lai was still curious about the purpose of their coming.Xue Na was a little shy, and lowered her head slightly, "The patriarch said let us form a partner with those three people." Damn.What's the situation.There are three old people in that small tribe, they are not very old in fact, they are much younger than Oss, but they are very weak because of hunger, and they will look older. After these two days After careful observation, Song Lai also found that these three people were not as old as he thought.But even so, these three women are obviously younger than those three men.At least the appearance is remarkably youthful.

"Do you agree with the patriarch's decision?" Song Lai asked her cautiously. "Well. It's better to have a man in the family than to be alone. I'm saying that everyone has their own house in winter. After all, one person can't last long." Xue Na was silent for a while before answering Song Lai.After thinking about it carefully, Song Lai understood that it is no wonder that the patriarch made such an arrangement. The ages of these three women are all about the same age, and there are also girls in the tribe, so the young men tend to choose to marry with people of similar age. It's not that there are older ones, but it's a little too young for the three of them, and the old ones all have partners, leaving only one Oss who can't get married.Although the three of them have no worries about food and clothing now, they cannot always be supported by the tribe after all.The three people from the outer tribe who appeared now may be a little older, but they are men after all, and using women to win people's hearts cannot be more despicable and shameless.But it cannot but be said to be more clever.

Now that the parties have agreed, there is even less room for these outsiders to talk.Watching the patriarch lead the three old guys, followed by the fox-like Oss and Rich, they walked out of the temporary residence as if they were long-lost relatives.The patriarch waved at Song Lai, apparently calling him to come over, but just as he was about to raise his leg, he found Xue Na walking towards the patriarch quickly, making him open his peacock, he was calling Xue Nana.

The patriarch called Xue Na to him, then pointed at an old man beside him and said what, Xue Na lowered her head shyly.The patriarch laughed heartily, everything seemed so harmonious.

After the patriarch arranged everything, he lived in the camp at night. Oss took Rich into Song Lai's shack during dinner, because there were so many people suddenly, and the temporary house was not easy to build. , I had to get some shacks to live in. Fortunately, the weather is not cold now, so it doesn't matter to live in.After Oss led Rich into the room, he sat at the table very naturally. "When's the meal? I haven't eaten or slept well these days on the road." Song Lai, who was cooking, squinted at him and ignored him. The baby was running around Song Lai, and he was having fun. Seeing Rich, he ran over, "clack, cluck" and trotted all the way to hug Rich's thigh.

Richie looked down at the baby who had grown to his knees, bent down and hugged her, and gently nodded her little nose, "Didn't you tell the baby to walk slowly, what to do if you fall down?" Rich's arms fluttered, preventing him from tapping his nose, giggling non-stop.When did Baobao and Richie get so close, they even trotted over there, and they didn't kiss like this when they saw themselves.Song Lai's heart was slightly sour.

"Oh, when is it time to eat? Old man, I'm about to starve to death." Oss started yelling after seeing that he still didn't have dinner for a long time, looking like a rambunctious little old man. "When An Ye comes back for dinner, haven't you eaten all the way? Why are you so hungry?" Song Lai said to Oss viciously, then looked back at Rich who was holding the baby, "Why hasn't An Ye Come back." "Uh... I'll be back in a while." Rich had a strange look on his face.This made Song Lai very suspicious, thinking that the patriarch could bring a widow from the tribe to a blind date, and it would be very easy to sit up on things that have no bottom line. "I'll go out, you watch the pot." After speaking, Song Lai hurried out.

A sea turtle is being stewed in the pot. This sea turtle is very huge and looks more than one meter long. It has been stewed for a long time, and it will be out of the pot after a while. Song Lai is really worried about An Ye and has to let Richie watch it. With the pot, go to find An Ye by yourself.As soon as he went out, he saw An Ye leading the patriarch towards him. It seemed that there was going to be extra food for dinner.

Song Lai turned around and went back to add a loofah and stir-fry fresh sea cucumbers in a large pot.When it was time to eat at night, the patriarch pointed to the loofah and said that he had never seen this thing before.Song Lai explained the origin of the loofah in detail, and told the patriarch that he had prepared a lot to take back to the tribe. Hearing this made the patriarch very relieved, "Well, although our tribe doesn't have to starve much now, But of course, the more things, the better." As the night approached, the patriarch and Oss also went to sleep in their huts one after another.

Song Lai settled down the baby and walked to An Ye's side, "The patriarch said something to you today, and he came back so late." "I didn't say anything, just let us stay here for a few more days before going back, and teach these people how To collect food, the patriarch plans to let them stay by the sea until winter." An Ye answered Song Lai while washing his face. "The patriarch, this old fox, hired a group of people to work for him for free. He was grateful after the work. It's really clever." After washing his face, An Ye smiled slightly and rubbed his head when he heard Song Lai's words. , "Don't think too much, go to sleep."

Early the next morning, the patriarch and Oss left, leaving Rich to stay by the sea. The three widows also left with the patriarch. I only found out after asking An Ye.It turned out that it was just brought here for them to see. If it was really feasible, these three men would formally propose marriage on the Changing Moon Festival.Under normal circumstances, if two people who want to form a family are in two different tribes, if a woman proposes to a man, it means that the woman goes with the man, and if a man proposes to a woman on his own initiative, it means that the man is To talk to the woman in her tribe.I didn't expect the patriarch to be so powerful. In this way, this small tribe took the initiative to join this tribe of its own.This can avoid a lot of trouble ah.

Song Lai taught these children how to collect food as usual, which things are edible and which are more dangerous, and because An Ye likes to eat sea cucumbers, he took this opportunity to prepare more, while the adults in his own tribe just taught these How do the children handle food, as for how to get food, they didn’t teach them a lot. Hey, these ancient people were more thoughtful than I thought. Everyone used to be their own people. I didn’t realize that they had so many thoughts. Now there are outsiders. Only then did I know that these people are quite friendly to me and very good.

Seeing the people of his own tribe standing on the reef fishing, Song Lai always felt that something was wrong. The wind here is raging in winter, but after the beginning of spring, it will be calm all the time.There are only waves at night, and the sea is gentle like a huge lake during the day.Such a good condition is really suitable for a wooden boat to go fishing at sea.Anyway, those teenagers are also doing the food packing, so why don't you get a boat out there before you leave.

It would be nonsense for Song Lai to make a sailing boat with a rudder, but there is nothing wrong with making a canoe or something. Song Lai asked Huang Yang and Xunfeng to bring their tools and went to the seaside. I went to the woods to find suitable wood.Because this time I came here to make some wooden carts that could bring back all the collected food, so I brought all the tools, which made Song Lai much more convenient.
