It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

Song Lai found that whenever he had something difficult to solve or was very entangled, he would usually lie in An Ye's arms and think about it quietly. He always felt that he was the safest and warmest at this time.

At this time, Song Lai was thinking about Richie's words during the day. In fact, making bows and arrows is really not a problem. The problem is whether he can teach them well, or whether the bows and arrows he makes can have as much power as he hopes.If it was before, I would have said no problem without hesitation, but with the appearance of other tribes and the destruction of Huoshenshan, Song Laisong couldn't help but think of that so-called Father God who was so vague and couldn't see his face. The unscrupulous Jitian beside the Father God, this is a place without laws and rules, where strength represents everything, and not all people are as tolerant and harmonious as their tribe.

If, if the bows and arrows he made couldn't be so powerful, but would bring danger to the tribe, how would he deal with it.Song Lai tossed and couldn't fall asleep, while thinking about the powerful functions of the bows and arrows he had seen before in the cold weapon era, and at the same time wondering if his bows and arrows were not as powerful as he expected, would he be troubled by the tribe instead? come to trouble.Song Lai kept making pancakes there, and An Ye, who was beside him, finally hugged him tightly, "What's wrong?"

"I'll think about what Rich told me today. What if the bow and arrow don't work well?" Song Lai told An Ye his thoughts with some confusion. "How come, it's obviously very useful! Although it is not as sharp as the stone blade and bone blade, it is still very powerful for shooting some small animals. Since Rich told you that he wanted you to do a lot of it, he must have already used the bow. Mighty has thought clearly." An Ye patted Song Lai on the back, "Hey, go to sleep. Think about it tomorrow." After hearing An Ye's words, Song Lai suddenly realized that they had never seen the real compound bow. Strength, and the current simple bow has made them feel that this weapon brings them convenience, so the bow that Rich told himself must be a weapon that is only a little more powerful on the basis of the current simple bow.It's not the compound bow I thought.

Song Lai, who wanted to understand, finally fell asleep with peace of mind. Before he fell asleep, he couldn't help thinking why he turned to the dead end of the compound bow and couldn't get out. Because of Rich's sentence, the bow made of beef tendon told him to use Of course, the person with beef tendon must be Aosi, this old fox who eats inside and outside.

Song Lai, who wanted to understand, woke up refreshed the next morning. Seeing Oss leisurely wandering in the yard, he asked him to call Rich. After a while, Rich followed Oss into his in the yard of the house. "Rich, I have already considered what you said yesterday. Making a bow is not something that will happen in a short time. The preparation work will take about a year. We have already done the preparation work last year, and now It’s not that you can’t start making bows, but there is a more important thing that everyone needs to do, and you have ignored it.”

Rich's face changed after hearing Song Lai's words, what is the more important thing than making weapons?Why didn't I have any impression at all, Richie looked towards Oss almost immediately. "Don't listen to him scaring you. You have your own judgment. Even if what he said is true, you don't have to be afraid. Anyway, you have never thought of it. Look at what he said. What's wrong with your face changing when you scare me?" It hasn't been changed yet." Aussie ruthlessly began to educate his apprentices in front of Song Lai.

After being told by Oss, Rich also felt that he seemed to be doing something wrong, so he immediately stood up straight and looked at Song Lai with a stern expression on his face, "Oh, what is it, you might as well tell me and listen." The slow tone is extremely beating.Song Lai rolled his eyes and looked at the two in front of him, why did he feel that their master and apprentice were so funny! "Planting, after the beginning of spring, I planted some things, and now they are starting to grow one after another. Today I will go out to collect, and I want to collect seedlings and come back to plant them. Do you have any good recommendations?" When Song Lai talked about his planting Oss exploded immediately, "How dare you say, did you plant the devil fruit in the back? I told you that this thing is very dangerous, why don't you take it to heart, don't you know Know that once the devil fruit is ripe, there will be no living things around it!"

Hearing what Aussie said, Ricky's expression was a little bad, but it was not so obvious compared to just now. Song Lai glanced at Aussie, "I won't let him mature. It's such a simple thing. As for Are you so excited? Didn’t you pull out the chili tree I planted so hard? If that’s the case, I’m in a hurry with you!” Song Lai felt that Oss was exaggerating. What the bison who brought the branches and fruits said, even if what Os said was true, he would not wait until the fruits on the pepper tree grow to black and then pick all the fruits and dispose of them.

In fact, what Oss said is really not an exaggeration. The reason why the devil fruit is called devil fruit in this world is because once its fruit is ripe, the peel will be very crisp, and the flesh will turn into a spore-like powder. Wait until the winter wind comes As long as it is gently blown by the wind, these pungent spores will fly in all directions, and there is no possibility of survival wherever they pass.Only when there is a lot of water in the air in spring, these spores will slowly fall and be decomposed by the land, and the wonderful thing is that these spores that can kill a bison will not be in any place as long as they fall into the soil. Therefore, this place is safe when the spores of the devil fruit are not mature. Only when winter is approaching, the bison living near the devil fruit will migrate crazily.

Seeing that Song Lai didn't take what he said completely, Aussie had no choice but to stop persuading him. If it couldn't be done, he would pick all the devil fruit by himself when it bloomed and bear fruit. After all, although the devil fruit tastes not very good, but It's still quite enjoyable to eat.

Rich looked at the two people who looked like fighting cocks, shook his head silently, turned around and went to the kitchen of Song Lai's house to see if there was anything delicious. There seemed to be a lot of golden silk chrysalis left yesterday. He remembered Song Lai said, It's not easy to keep this stuff. I probably ate it all today. It seems that I'd better have lunch here at noon.

"What are you going to bring back?" Oss looked at Song Lai and asked him, Song Lai squinted at him, turned around and wanted to go to the kitchen.Entering the kitchen, I saw that the baby was having fun with Richie. The baby has no problem walking on its own now. Song Lai also gave him some supplementary food from time to time. The little girl is now fat and white, wearing little clothes made of linen, She often runs around with people in and out of the small hut, and now she is not as clingy as she was when she was young. Song Lai always recalls that when she went out to do things by herself, when she came back, the baby was lying on her shoulders and breastfeeding her. When I called my father in a childish voice.

The small shape has grown, it is obviously not a cat, it looks like a leopard, Song Lai was very worried at the beginning that it would hurt the baby, but this little one is the most tolerant towards the baby , Song Lai was horrified once when he found that the baby put his tiny tail in his mouth to bite, and the little one had already exploded, but he just wanted to run away to the distance, but the baby grabbed his tail, so he could only pray for it. He looked at himself who ran up to him in panic.

Seeing Song Lai coming in, the baby trotted all the way to Song Lai, holding his leg, "Dad, I'm hungry, hungry." In the morning, Song Lai made custard for the baby and fed a small fish , I was hungry again at noon, Song Lai scratched the baby's nose, "Little greedy cat. I will eat after a while." Seeing that Rich had no tendency to leave, Song Lai had no choice but to take the leftover golden silk chrysalis from yesterday. took it out,

"Go to the central lake and dig a lotus root." The lotus root grown in the central lake is ready to eat.From time to time, everyone digs a root or two to satisfy their hunger. I don’t know who it is. They always think that the central lake is too small and plant lotus roots in the big lake. This year, Song Lai found out when he went to see the waterfowl. A few lotus leaves, which surprised Song Lai very much.

Sending Rich to dig lotus root, Song Lai chopped golden shredded pupae and the rabbit meat he hunted back yesterday into stuffing. He planned to make a box of lotus root to eat at noon, and made a stir-fried cucumber. He looked at the herring brought back from the sea in the corner. , thinking about how to get rid of the fishy smell, this kind of herring that grows in the sea, the fish meat is very stocky, there is only one main thorn, the meat is thick and the thorns are less, it is a good food, but it is too fishy. In the past, the food of the tribe was not When there is enough food, everyone salts the herring and then eats it slowly, but now, although there is not enough food to pick and eat, the herring is obviously not very popular.

Song Lai removed the head of the herring and cleaned it. Could it be that it was still marinated? But last year, he just finished eating it. When he was struggling, An Ye came back with a bag full of red fruits. These small red fruits are sweet and sour. The taste of the fruit is not very good, but in early spring, the fruit is not yet ripe, so it can be regarded as a rare snack. An Ye went into the house, washed the fruit and put it on a plate, and handed it to Song Laizui One of them was sour with the unique fragrance of fruit. Seeing that Song Lai didn't like it very much, he gave some to the baby who followed him.

Song Lai continued with the work in hand, looked at the herring being cleaned and clicked his mouth, "An Ye, bring me all the fruits." An Ye was about to put sugar on the top of the red fruits, when he heard Song Lai call him, he took the whole plate of fruit. Passing the fruit to Song Lai, Song Lai filled the largest earthenware pot with water and put it on the stove to burn it.When the water boils, put the red fruit in, then add a little sugar and a measure of salt, the soup in the pot will turn into bright red and sour soup after a while, then put the cleaned herring in the Slowly simmer in the pot.

Rich returned to the kitchen with the cleaned lotus root, Song Lai took it and rinsed it with water, then cut into lotus root, fried it in oil, and ordered people to eat when the lotus root box was out of the pan.

While eating, Oss watched the herring gurgling and steaming on the stove, and a slightly sour and fishy aroma permeated the room, "Aren't we going to eat this today?" Oss finally pointed at Tao Guo asked Song Lai, "Ah, this, we have to wait, I guess we won't be able to eat that until evening." Song Lai replied solemnly, it's not that he can't eat it now, but the taste will be better at night, Song Lai I just really like watching Oss's tangled expression.

"Rich, what I just told you is serious. People in the tribe should develop the habit of planting, so that they can save the time of going out to collect. We should start preparing the weapons we want to make and measure now." Listen When Song Lai started discussing formalities, Oss finally shifted his mind from the earthenware pot where the fish was stewed, "Well, seeing you planting sweet potatoes, everyone has also started to tidy up the land behind their homes, but... it's just their house. There is not much soil behind them, usually rocks, you see..." Rich said with some difficulty.But he still didn't go on, Song Lai smiled slightly when he heard Rich's words, it's been like this since ancient times, don't worry about the few but the uneven, there is land behind his home to plant, but others are just a piece of rock, hot eyes are unavoidable .

Now it's just that the sweet potato vines have just sprouted, and they will feel even more unbalanced when the sweet potatoes are harvested, so this problem should be solved as soon as possible. "Look, Rich, our tribe has such a big place, and we will build more houses in the future. The most important thing is that there is really not much land on it, and the land behind my house really cannot be divided. You also know that the devil fruit is grown in my house, this thing is very dangerous, only I can control it, you said that if the land is distributed to everyone, then..." Song Lai said to Rich sincerely Talk about the reason why you can't divide your own backyard.

"Then how do you ask everyone to plant it?" Rich thought he had listened to Song Lai's excuse, and the devil fruit is not something ordinary people can control. "Although there is no middle ground on our platform, there is below the platform. It is impossible to plant anything in such a large valley." Song Lai continued to fool this early-stage magic stick. "Think about it, there will be more and more people in our tribe in the future. Of course, the place should be bigger and bigger, but it shouldn't be too far away from the camp. Isn't the valley under our platform just right?"
