It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

After hearing what Ye Li said, Song Lai was suddenly full of confidence in the Chinese toon tree, "Ye Li, how big is the sapling you planted, and where did you get it?" "It's next to the toon tree, next to the toon tree Some saplings will grow." Ye Li answered Song Lai as she walked forward.After walking for more than an hour, Song Lai saw the small sapling under the toon tree in Ye Li's hand.

These saplings are only one foot high, obviously they grew out after the flood, but several saplings grow together, so it is estimated that they will not grow too high in autumn, and only the taller saplings will survive when the flood comes. And the ones that are long and low will die.The women of the tribe began to gather the young shoots on the big trees.

"Oh, this year I have to pick some more. Last year, I followed Song Lai to pickle them with salt and eat them until winter. The taste didn't change at all. This year I want to pickle a little more, so as not to be enough to eat..." The voices of those women chatting could be faintly heard. Song Lai found a corner with many saplings and began to dig the saplings one by one. The people who collected young shoots in the distance unexpectedly all dug saplings by their side, imitating their own appearance.

"Uh, didn't you say that even the saplings won't survive? Why are you still learning from me?" Song Lai was genuinely a little surprised. "Others can't grow the saplings. If you do, it's okay if you can't. It doesn't take up much space anyway. Song Ling, where are you going to plant the saplings?" The people around talked about their reasons. As soon as he said it, Song Lai couldn't laugh or cry, these simple ancient people had their own wisdom, anyway, follow your example, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, the better it is.

Seeing that everyone gathered around him, Song Lai felt that he had to help Rich, and by the way, get rid of those who were jealous of the land in his backyard. "Rich said a few days ago that he would distribute all the valleys to everyone as a vegetable garden." "Vegetable garden, what is a vegetable garden?" The vegetables we came out to collect are all planted in the vegetable garden. I thought I planted sweet potatoes some time ago. You can plant them too. Wherever you plant them, it’s in the valley. Look at the one I just dug. Toon saplings are used to enclose my own vegetable garden, and you can also dig them and plant them in the valley to enclose your own vegetable garden.” Song Lai explained in detail what a vegetable garden is and the benefits of a vegetable garden.

"Wouldn't someone flood the valley?" Some Shinobi were still sober. "If you plant trees, you won't be flooded. I said that we will dig the river channel for a while. When the river channel is dug deep, it will be flooded." Everyone listened to Song Lai's words, although they were a little dubious. But they all went to dig the saplings obediently and didn't say anything. After noon, Song Lai proposed to go back, "Because we will go to the valley to circle our own vegetable garden." Hearing Song Lai say this People walked back happily.

Walking into the valley, these people began to carefully look at the land they lived in. The land in the valley came out of the rivers and riverbanks extending from the edge of the big lake, and the other places were very fertile. There is no problem at all, but Song Lai still encourages everyone to choose the vegetable garden closer to the platform, so that it is convenient for everyone to come out to pick vegetables.

Song Lai first circled a square area with small saplings on the sun-facing place under the platform, and then explained to everyone in detail, the distance between the trees, how to plant the trees straight, and set aside There is a way to walk, and there must be a suitable distance between each house. Until the men of the tribe came out to find their own women, they had just finished their work.

The women dragged their men to visit the vegetable garden they had just circled, describing that they could eat vegetables that could only be collected far away at their own homes in the future. Everyone was full of longing for the future, and at the same time the men It is also requested by the women to bring back the vegetables they like to eat and plant them in the vegetable garden.otherwise……

Rich stood looking at this from a distance, nodded at Song Lai from afar, then turned back to the tribe, Song Lai saw Rich laughing at the old man, and felt that the child was becoming more and more like a stickman up.

The tribe's meals are generally a little late today, and when Song Lai returned home, Oss inevitably muttered a few words, nothing more than An Ye's cooking was not good.Song Lai ignored him, "Are you tired today?" An Ye patted Song Lai's head and asked him. "No, it's just that I talked too much at noon and now I don't want to talk to him." Song Lai answered An Ye while rubbing his hand.

"Hey you two, I'm still there." Oss yelled angrily. "Barbecue again today, Oss, haven't you been talking about it for several days?" An Ye pushed Song La to the edge of the table, then comforted Oss and served the dinner.

The next morning, after breakfast, Song Lai looked up while cleaning up the dishes and saw the patriarch appearing in his yard. "Patriarch, are you looking for An Ye? He just left the house." Song Lai greeted him, wiping his hands, "I didn't come to you." The patriarch waved his hands and answered Song Lai. "Looking for me?" Song Lai asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's the matter?" Could it be that yesterday's incident of enclosing the land made the patriarch unhappy, no, Rich should have already told him. "Well, didn't you say you wanted to tell me what to prepare for making weapons? Why haven't you come to me for so many days? I have to come to you!" Song Lai suddenly remembered what An Ye had done after hearing what the patriarch said. On the day the patriarch delivered the fish, he said that he would tell the patriarch himself.It's just that I've been so busy these days that I actually forgot about it.

"Oh, I'm sorry, patriarch. I've been busy these days and haven't had time to spare. I'm really sorry." Song Lai hurriedly apologized to the patriarch. "Hahaha it's okay, it's the same when I come to you. Oss is probably there too. He's been living a good life recently. The fish you can cook is good and delicious." The patriarch smiled heartily and followed Song Lai We went into the house together.

Song Lai first talked to the patriarch about the benefits of compound bows, and then taught the patriarch how to maximize the attack power of bows and arrows since they want to use bows and arrows. Although they can't make compound bows now, simple bows and arrows can also achieve a certain attack power , After talking about the benefits of bows and arrows, Song Lai proposed to the patriarch to prepare the materials. First, the fish float glue can be measured and prepared. Secondly, the bamboo can also be dried in the shade. Finally, it is necessary to find some suitable wood for bows. , the most important thing is arrows, which can be made now.The patriarch fully agreed to Song Lai's preparations. After listening to Song Lai's analysis, the patriarch felt that the popularization of simple bows and arrows was imminent, so he sent five people to learn how to do it with Song Lai that afternoon. bow and arrow.

These five people are not all old men or women in the tribe as before, these five people are obviously warriors in the tribe.It seems that the patriarch still attaches great importance to the making of weapons. Song Lai first taught these people according to the steps he learned to make bows. Silky, how to make wood and bamboo into shapes, I roughly talked about it on the first day, but fortunately these people are quite clever, and they memorized everything they said.

The next day, Song Lai began to teach these people how to make fish float glue. The cooking of fish float glue is very troublesome. You have to keep pounding fish float and steaming repeatedly. Fortunately, these people are all young and energetic boys. It is extraordinarily hard to work, and when the fish float glue is made out, the quality is surprisingly good.Song Lai asked them to do it slowly on the sidelines. Anyway, all the floats of sea fish caught last year were dried and preserved, and it happened to be taken out to make floats now, so that they would not need to spend time preparing materials when making large quantities. up.

Even if the supervisor didn't reach out much, Song Lai was half dead from exhaustion.Seeing that Song Lai was so tired, An Ye naturally didn't do it, so he went directly to the patriarch and asked Song Lai to rest. Fortunately, the few people who were making fish floats were happy, even if no one was watching, they could leave quickly. Well, the material of the fish float glue can allow them to make it for a few days, so Song Lai had a rare few days of rest. In the words of the patriarch, Song Lai will start when these people have finished making the fish float glue. Teach them something new.

This day, An Ye stayed at home with Song Lai. When he got up early, he first watered all the vegetables in the vegetable garden in his backyard, and then he was sitting lazy on the recliner in front of the door. He just closed his eyes. I felt a pair of little hands on my knees trying to climb up. I opened my eyes and saw that it was the baby who was trying to crawl into my arms with his knees. After he can walk, the baby does not need the company of adults as much as before. , always wandering from house to house in the tribe with Xiao Xiao, and only come home when eating, so it is rare to see her get close to him.

Song Lai hugged the baby and put it on his belly, Xiaoxiao lay down at Song Lai's feet, the warm sunshine at noon made Song Lai feel sleepy, thinking that he and An Ye didn't go out, and there was no need to have lunch It was too early, and there was still time for myself and the baby to take a nap, and I suddenly felt that the days were endlessly beautiful.In the future, another fruit tree will be planted next to the house, which can provide shade in summer and prevent wind in winter.You can still eat the fruit when it is ripe.This kind of life was not necessarily enjoyed when I was a certain second generation in the past, and the beauty is in my arms, and my heart is at ease.What can my husband ask for?Song Lai lamented the happiness of the little life while holding the baby in a daze and fell asleep.

When An Ye came out with the washed fruits, he saw that Song Lai and his father had already fallen asleep in the dark, and the little boy next to him heard someone coming over and looked up. Seeing that it was An Ye, he lowered his head and continued to sleep peacefully.An Ye shook his head and put the fruit on the small square table next to Song Lai, then turned his hand back and took a piece of animal skin out to put on Song Lai's body.He moved a small bench to drive Xiao Xiao away and sat down next to Song Lai.

The spring sunshine is just right, and it is warm and not too hot when it shines on the body, which makes people very comfortable. He is wearing the linen underwear that Song Lai made for him. Although it is not as comfortable as buckskin, it is surprisingly breathable. Wearing it outside Clothes with a layer of buckskin will not be very cold.Under the sun, Song Lai's skin became fairer, his normally radiant eyes were slightly closed at this moment, the long eyelashes brought out a little shadow, and the pink lips under the straight nose were undoubtedly very beautiful.An Ye realized that he had never thought that Song Lai would look at another person so carefully, whether it was Oss or Bao Bao.I can always imagine Song Lai's appearance as soon as I close my eyes, even some very subtle details, such as the color and softness of his lips.

When did all this start? I can’t think of it anymore. The little boy who stuffed fruits and vegetables into his hands has now grown into an adult. I still remember that I was not very willing to raise him at the time. Yes, as a hairless person, I always have to pay more than others to get something I deserve, such as food, or even pay more, but still won’t get it, such as tribal women.So I really don't have the energy to raise a little hairless person like myself, until this little hairless person like me stuffs vegetables and vegetables into my hands with enthusiasm, which means forming a family. When eating fruit, my heart, which had been cold for many years, suddenly began to warm up.

I willingly took him home, and he really gave me a warm and stable home.He always has various ideas, he can find all kinds of food, and make the food more delicious. He makes the hairless people less embarrassing in the tribe, and at the same time leads everyone to live a happy life. On a more stable and warm day, he also told himself that some intimate things can only be done by the two of them, and that he only needs to be with him, and no other people, including other women, are allowed.

Thinking of this, An Ye stretched out his hand and touched his lips. Did Song Lai kiss him as sweetly as when he kissed him?
