All the savage is jealous, I will farm

The night wind brings a touch of coolness. The vines of sweet potatoes and ground roots grow luxuriantly on the plain, and the young leaves from potatoes also cover the distance between the ridges. The luxuriant shoots and flowers around the tribe announce the arrival of spring. The rainy season is over.

Dashan took the girls to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and went to the field to pick the vines of sweet potatoes. Now that the dried vegetables of each family were almost finished, they wanted to prepare fresh vegetables to eat with meat.

The young girl said with a smile: "The sweet potato shoots are really delicious. I picked up a handful yesterday and brought them home. My younger siblings are all rushing to eat them."

"That's not it," said the second younger sister of the Su family, who worked swiftly, and the basket was already full of vegetable leaves at the moment: "I'll tell you a more delicious way."

"How to do it?" "Say it quickly?" The women hurriedly got together to learn skills.

The second sister of the Su family didn't go around in circles, and amplified her voice so that the sisters outside could hear: "You can store the fat from the fat of wild pigs in earthenware pots. Vegetables and hemp grass go in, it tastes delicious."

"I'll try it when I go back." "Speaking of which, I think fried shredded potatoes with spicy dishes are also delicious." "Tell everyone how to do it?"

A group of women were working in the fields while sharing their cooking skills, laughing happily and contentedly. The wanderers imprisoned outside the tribe couldn't help feeling envious and red-eyed when they heard the laughter.

The wanderers stretched their necks to watch, and the stones came over again carrying a vat of medicine. This time, Su Ya and her medical team came together.

The people in charge of delivering the medicine wore masks made of cotton cloth on their faces. The masks were soaked in medicinal juice, which could barely prevent the spread of the plague.

Su Ya took the lead in picking three people from each group to check their physical conditions, and then the medical team also picked a few people to check like Su Ya.

The wanderers were a little puzzled, among them the older ones boldly asked Shi Shi: "Sir, don't you still take the medicine?"

During the days when the rogues were imprisoned, slaves came to teach them the language used by the Huangping tribe every day. Up to now, the rogues were basically able to communicate in a simple way.

"It's not your turn to speak because of the arrangement of the envoy of God." Before Shi Shi could speak, the slave who was in charge of teaching them the language began to reprimand.

"Yes, we dare not." The rogues quickly admitted their mistake.

It's not that the wanderers are bold enough to confront them, it's just that no one of them died of illness after drinking the medicine during this period, and they have tasted the benefits of taking the medicine. Today, they suddenly don't take the medicine and have to check their bodies. They are afraid in their hearts That's why I asked.

The voices of the women in the field gradually approached, and the slave suddenly showed longing and envious eyes.Su Ya saw this scene in her eyes, said hello to Shi Shi, and left quietly with the medical team.

Su Yao was drawing blueprints for road construction at home when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Come in."

Su Ya came in with a bamboo basket and jade slips in his arms: "God, I checked with the medical team, and the plague symptoms of those ronin have basically stabilized, especially the ronin in the fourth group. All gone."

The ronin in the fourth group drank the prescription that Su Yao finally researched: "Show me the record."

Su Ya handed the jade slip to Su Yao, which completely recorded the performance and treatment of the plague patients during this period, as well as the reactions of people of different ages to the medicine.

"Thank you for your hard work, you did a good job." Su Yao's peach eyes were smiling, and he was very tolerant of this straightforward and capable girl: "Give this record to the priest, and I will hand over the records of dispensing to you and me in the future." The priest is in charge."

"Yes, my lord envoy." Su Ya, who was praised, was very happy, and took out fresh and tender bamboo shoots from the back basket: "The bamboo shoots on the mountain grow very well, and the envoy of God should eat more."

People in the Huangping tribe believe that if they eat bamboo shoots, they will grow taller and faster like bamboo, so every family will go to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots for their children to eat at this time.

Su Ya obviously didn't know the meaning of eating bamboo shoots. She only heard that bamboo shoots were good, so she gave Su Yao the best bamboo shoots dug out today.

Su Yao accepted the bamboo shoots and gave her a basket of sweet strawberries in return.

Since the last dose of the medicine worked best, the ronin's medicine was changed to this one, and after drinking the medicine for three days, the symptoms of the ronin's plague were completely cured.

At this time, the resettlement plan of the wanderers was also put on the agenda.

In the Huangping tribe, there have always been more males than females. Among the aborigines, this situation is not very obvious, because the probability of naturally born males and females is basically [-]/[-], so it can barely maintain a balance.

But the slaves are wandering or captured. In comparison, weaker women have a lower chance of survival than men. They will be abandoned for various reasons during the wandering, and they will be recruited because of their appearance. More woe.

Coupled with the wear and tear during the birth process, various reasons combined lead to the fact that there are very few women in the slave and ronin groups, with men accounting for [-]% and women only about [-]%.

In the spring of this year, good news came from the tribe one after another: due to the stable winter, more than 30 young couples in the tribe have conceived babies, and according to the situation in previous years, there will be more people who will wait for a while , this is the best news for the sparsely populated Huangping tribe.

Under such circumstances, Su Yao's resettlement plan was put forward. It happened to be the time when the tribe held the spring festival. Under the auspices of Su Yao and the priest, a grand bonfire meeting was held in the tribe.

The bonfire meeting is a custom handed down in the tribe. On this day, men and women can freely express their feelings without restriction. Once they have affection for each other, they can form a partnership under the witness of priests and angels.

Early this morning, all the young unmarried men in the tribe put on the most handsome wooden armor and rushed to the woods to hunt. The number of prey determines their own ability. The more men they prey, the more favored they are by women.

Sufficient prey means that once the two are married, the man is better able to raise his own family, and their union will give birth to healthier and stronger babies.

Unmarried women will bring their own tools and accessories and wear the most beautiful clothes to show their industrious, handy and beautiful side.

The bonfire will be busy from noon, the field is full of prey, and the girls beside the water pool are laughing together.

The cured wanderers have also become slaves in the tribe, and they will participate in today's bonfire.

Zhongli and Chu Shan personally selected diligent and honest male slaves, and then gathered all female slaves of suitable age for free marriage.

Men and women choose each other. Once they confirm their mutual affection, they can break away from the status of slaves and become residents of the tribe. These residents do not need to hand over their own food, but must bear corresponding responsibilities according to the requirements of the tribe.

The tribe continued to be lively until the afternoon, when the oxhide drum sounded at five o'clock, the bonfire would officially start.

The incense table was filled with prey sacrifices. After offering sacrifices to the heaven, earth and gods, following Su Yao's order, the men and women began to dance happily.

The wild pigs, wild cows, wild rabbits and wild birds on the grill exude bursts of fragrance, and the stew in the clay pot is not inferior to alluring everyone's appetite. The unmarried men bring delicious food to their loved ones. Once a woman accepts food, she accepts his love.

On the other side of the square, the young slaves were also roasting their prey. Compared with the unrestrained freedom on the square, they were obviously more restrained.

It's just that the conditions of getting out of slavery tempt them, and after a while they also act separately to find a partner.

The slave men and women who had a relationship before came together logically at this time, while the others chose a pleasing object and began to try to get in touch with each other. If the personality is suitable, they can also try.

The bonfire will last until dark, Su Yao doesn't like these lively occasions very much, and prepares to go back quietly in the dark, but Zhongli who suddenly appeared in the middle of the walk grabbed his wrist.

Following Zhongli's guidance, the two left the field and headed to the river not far away.When he was still far away, Su Yao saw a burning fire on the bank of the river. When he walked in, he found that there were tender fish and wild rabbits roasting on the fire. Unexpectedly, there was a pile of prawns wrapped in leaves.

"When did you catch the prey?" Su Yao was surprised, Zhongli was busy with him all day long, so he couldn't spare time to catch these things.

Zhongli handed over the grilled fish, with a gentle smile on his face, paranoid and gloomy: "The shrimp pots that were placed last night were caught at noon."

Su Yao wanted to say something, but his adam's apple slid a few times without making a sound, and he just responded and started to eat the grilled fish.

The two lived together for a long time, Zhong Li fully understood his taste preference, the grilled fish he made was tender on the outside and tender on the inside, and Su Yao was satisfied.

"There is no habit of eating shrimp in the tribe, and I haven't touched shrimp before." Zhong Li skewered the shrimp together with willow branches and brushed them with spicy sauce.

Shrimp is a common green prawn in fresh water. It tastes less salty than sea prawns but has a stronger taste. It has not been caught so it is very big, and one is as big as the palm of your hand.

Speaking of this, Su Yao became interested: "When I was young, I often touched shrimps in the river. In Hexiao, my hometown, the shrimps were not so big, but they all tasted the same. It's just that when I grew up, I would I don’t eat it often, but I didn’t expect you to remember it.”

When Su Yao was eating fish, he casually said: Braised prawns are also delicious.He ate fresh shrimp today, and it was impossible for him not to be touched.

The two grilled while eating, and after a while they ate up the two big fish, a wild rabbit and a big bag of shrimp, and when they returned, the young people were still playing around in the market.

The night passed, and the next morning the slaves gathered in the big field as agreed, and there were also young men and women in the tribe who had mutual affection and decided to become partners.

Su Yao invited the priest, together with Zhong Li, who is now in charge of the tribe, the three of them presided over the bond-making ceremony for these young men and women on the altar.

The bond ceremony is not difficult, as long as the two parties swear to the gods, it is enough for the couple to decide where to live and future arrangements. There are not so many rules in the tribe.

After the completion of the bond ceremony, the highlight of today is to arrange a special task for these young slaves.

Under the watchful eyes of all the slaves, Su Yao stepped forward and announced various matters.
