It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

On the way back, Song Lai kept thinking that the tribe would grow bigger and bigger, the newborn children of his own tribe and other tribes would continue to join in.Eventually, the primitive society will usher in the arrival of the slave society.Maybe I will see the birth of the city in my lifetime.

Song Lai looked longingly at the crowd who were constantly advancing. A group of people pulled three extremely simple wooden carts. The carts were full of kelp, shrimp, and some dried fish. Walking on the ground, only Oss sat in a car with relatively few things.Since living with Song Lai and the others, Song Lai obviously felt that Oss had gotten fatter and his spirit was better than before.The patriarch walked with everyone beside the car where Oss was sitting.Talking to Oss from time to time.Seeing Song Lai looking over, he waved him over.

"I plan to let people from that tribe join our tribe during the Moon Festival." The patriarch said casually with a calm expression. "Everyone?" Song Lai frowned. It's only a few days away from the Changing Moon Festival. Would it be dangerous if everyone joined in? "Of course not, it's just those old guys, let them enter the tribe to form a family, and the others stay by the sea until winter, and always build them some houses for the winter." The patriarch shook his head and smiled. answer. "Our Manta tribe will get better and better." Oss proudly added this.

Manta? !It turns out that the tribe I belong to still has a name. "Is Manta the name of our tribe?" Song Lai asked again. "Yes. Manta is the location of our former tribe. I discussed with the patriarch that our tribe will be called Manta from now on." Song Lai looked at Oss's face with a stick, well, this name is you I just settled with the patriarch, it seems like I have been calling for a long time.Sure enough, it was an old fox, thinking about the long-term. This is a small tribe of less than 30 people, so let him establish the name of his own tribe.

Except for the muddy roads along the way, there was no other danger. When passing by the place where the bison passed by last year, Song Lai took a special look at it. Because of the flood, the obvious traces of last year were gone, and the ground was gone again. Some green grass began to grow.After five or six days, the group finally returned to the tribe.

After returning home, Song Lai immediately went to see the bison and waterfowl he raised.Bison graze leisurely in a meadow behind the house.And waterfowl were also placed in the shelf of the central lake last year.Last year's waterfowl shelf has been blown away by the strong winter wind, and it is unknown who built it again at the original site last year.

Everything is well taken care of.Song Lai returned home, tidied himself up, then tidied up the things in the house, took out the animal skins on the beds in his and An Ye's bedroom and put them in a cool place to ventilate. When he turned around, he saw Donggui standing behind him with his face full of tears. Feeling uneasy, "Song Lai, you...can you teach me how to weave?" Seeing himself turning around, Donggui Sisiai said.

spinning?I have only been away for less than a month, and the women in the tribe have already started to ask for spinning?Did something happen during the time I was away? "Why do you want to learn weaving? Are you saying that Gan Zhi can weave? How did you find me here?" Song Lai asked her curiously. "Gan Zhi?!" Dong Gui's tone was unavoidably contemptuous and disapproving. "I went to her, and he actually asked me for a pig beast, otherwise he wouldn't teach me. This is not something she knows by herself, and she even told me to ask for a pig beast." Donggui said angrily that this side was cautious. Looking at Song Lai, Song Lai laughed a little. "It seems that you don't need so much meat just to change the linen?" "It's not enough to change it all the time, so I wanted to learn it myself, but Gan Zhi asked me for pigs and animals." Donggui took the opportunity to complain.

Song Lai already understood what happened. Donggui thought that the linen cloth was easy to use. He first exchanged some meat and Gan Zhi for it, and then he thought about spinning it himself, but when he went to learn from Gan Zhi, Gan Zhi and him wanted a pig beast. , which made Donggui a little unacceptable. "Why did you come to me?" "I was looking for Rich Shaman, but Rich Shaman doesn't know how to weave, so let me ask you." Donggui finally said why he was here.

Okay, you little Richie, you really learned how cunning and cunning you are from the old fox. "Donggui, I really don't know how to weave. Only Gan Zhi can do it himself. I can't teach you everything. See if you are discussing with Gan Zhi, or ask her to give you a cheaper price, or Just recognize her and give her a pig beast." Donggui obviously didn't expect Song Lai to say that, so he left sullenly.

After Donggui left, Song Lai continued to tidy up the room, and it was already time for dinner. When An Ye returned home with his prey, he saw Song Lai cooking and laughing non-stop, " What's the matter?" An Ye's voice interrupted Song Lai's thinking, "No, it's just a little funny, we just left for less than a month, and gratifying changes have taken place in the tribe." Song Lai talked to An Ye , with a smile that couldn't be hidden on his face.

An Ye stepped forward and stroked Song Lai's hair, smiled and went to wash his hands. "What's for dinner?" Oss walked into the kitchen with the baby in his arms, and Rich followed behind him.

Thinking of the scene at noon, Song Lai always feels inexplicable joy when he sees Rich now. "Rich, how is the recent shaman doing? I think you can learn your skills~" Song Lai still couldn't help teasing him, "Well, Oss said that I will soon be able to be my own." Rich's smug tone made Song Lai speechless for a moment.Sure enough, Rich not only learned Oss' skills, but also learned how to be thick-skinned.

Seafood for dinner, boiled scallops mixed with onions and stir-fried, the staple food is sweet potato mash mixed with minced meat dumplings.When Song Lai was busy cooking, Rich suddenly gave Song Lai some golden chrysalis.The golden silk chrysalis here is more beautiful than the ones Song Lai has seen, and the taste is even better. This chrysalis is also the larva of moths, but it is even rarer. The first time Song Lai saw it was not long after he arrived. After almost two years, I haven't found many. The clay bowl in Rich's hand actually has a small bowl.If you don't have anything to do, you can either rape or steal.I haven't seen anything, what haven't I eaten, can I be bought by this little golden silk chrysalis? !

While thinking, he stretched out his hand to take the golden chrysalis from Rich’s hand, “What’s the matter, is there anything you want me to do for you?” Rich smiled slightly, “Why would Song Lai think so? I also sent you something to eat, and our relationship is not very good, have you forgotten? I remember that even if I got a little red fruit, I would send it to you. You forgot that we went out together Is it time to collect it?" Rich told the past with a look of longing.

Song Lai felt that the hairs on his body were standing on end, looking at the golden chrysalis in his hand, thinking that it would be too late if it was returned to Ricky at this time.An Ye who walked into the room saw Song Lai's troubled face, while Rich was looking up at a 45-degree angle with longing face.I glanced at Oss, who was teasing the baby with a smile on his face, as if he didn't see this weird scene.An Ye walked up to Song Lai, patted Song Lai's head, "What's wrong?" Song Lai looked at An Ye, feeling so entangled in his heart, really wanted to tell An Ye directly that Rich bullied him, but...Look Looking at the golden silk chrysalis in his hand, it must have taken a lot of effort to get so many golden silk chrysalis.

Gritting his teeth, "What on earth do you want? If you don't tell me, I'll just pretend it's nothing." Song Lai was really afraid of Rich's trick of constantly increasing the size, so if he asked him to talk for a while, he probably only wanted to talk about it. I can promise myself.Rich smiled, "Song Lai, I remember you seem to be making a weapon out of the tendons of bison?" Song Lai was a little surprised when Rich mentioned the bow. Rich and the others had never seen the real attack of the bow. Strength, why did he suddenly and deliberately bring it up, and seeing Rich's posture, it is inevitable for the bow.

"What do you want? That's not ready yet, and you can't use it until after winter." Song Lai was relieved when he heard that what Rich wanted was a bow. It is not easy, except for some basic knowledge and craftsmanship, the most important thing is materials and time.And both are abundant here.

"No, I just want you to teach everyone how to make this weapon. I need a lot!" Rich's words exceeded Song Lai's expectations, "A lot? How much is a lot!" Song Lai asked Rich in surprise.Rich first looked at Oss on the next side, then raised his eyes to An Ye, and shrank his neck. "It must be able to equip all the warriors in the tribe." After finishing speaking, he took a small step back.

Song Lai frowned and thought about it. Rich obviously didn't think about it for a long time when he came here this time. It's not news that he can make bows in the tribe. He glanced at Oss next to him. This little old man lives in his own house. , eating his own food, after all, he is still thinking about the whole tribe. Song Lai also thought about equipping all the bows on the people in the tribe, but the first real bow he made has not been completed yet. It's not very clear what it will become.Considering it now and seeing what Rich means, he still needs to teach the people in the tribe to do it together. It is inevitable that there is some lack of confidence.

Seeing Song Lai frowned, An Ye suddenly said, "I'm hungry, let's eat first."

Hearing what An Ye said, Oss got up and put the baby aside, while holding the bowls and chopsticks, he looked at the pottery bowl in Song Lai's hand, "How do you eat this thing, I haven't eaten that before." Song Lai suddenly thought A group of beasts strolled by.Glancing at Oss, he looked at the golden chrysalis in his hand. If it wasn't for the preciousness of the golden chrysalis, I really had the urge to make his face blush. I looked up at An Ye and found that he was also aiming at Looking at it in his hand, Song Lai sighed.He resigned himself to the stove.

If this thing is fried on a plate, it will be gone without even tasting it.Song Lai took out a section of sour bamboo shoots and cut them into thin shreds, soaked them in clean water, took out a few dried shrimps, washed them with water, put them in a pot, put clean water in the pot, boiled them, and picked them up. I put a few golden silk chrysalis in it, and immediately the room was filled with a strong fragrance.Then squeeze out the water from the shredded bamboo shoots, put them in the pot and stir slowly, wait for the water to boil, put some lotus root starch on it, the lotus root starch contains starch, and the soup in the pot will thicken after a while, put the pot Take it down and put it aside.Put the clay pot on the stove to warm up the water, and put the remaining golden silk pupae aside.

Everyone in the room watched Song Lai put the pot aside anxiously, but they dared not reach out to take it, but the fragrance kept getting into their noses, watching Song Lai tidying up the stove slowly, they didn't care. Dare to speak and obediently wait in front of the table for dinner.

Seeing their appearance, Song Lai burst into laughter~ Song Lai couldn't help laughing, the atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed, An Ye helped Song Lai put the pot on the pot holder in the middle of the table.Because life is gradually no longer forced by hunger and cold, some small things in life began to appear continuously.Of course, it is usually proposed by Song Lai, and then he asks someone to do it. Not long after he comes out, almost all the people in the tribe are there. Song Lai has an inexplicable sense of superiority for this kind of thing that leads a certain trend.

After dinner, Rich got up to say goodbye. From the beginning of the meal to the time he left, he didn't mention Song Lai teaching everyone how to make bows and arrows, nor did he talk about how Song Lai took care of him when he first came. This made Song Lai feel a lot better, but At the same time, he began to seriously consider this matter.Oss didn't use izji's cleverness to say anything to Song Lai, he still snatched good things very fiercely during the meal, if he saw this for the first time, he would think that Song Lai was thanks to him.
