From eschatological to primitive
Chapter 36
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What the hell?
Silkworm cocoons?silk?
What are you talking about?Why can't you understand? !
"No, you said this thing can be worn?" A soldier held up a small cocoon with an indescribable expression, "How do you wear it? Hang it on a string?"
Thinking about the appearance covered in white calluses, the soldier shivered, "Also, don't you need it? I think it's good to wear animal skins."
Huang Jue said with a smile, "When silk is made, you will know its benefits. It is more comfortable than wearing linen."
People don't believe it.
In their opinion, linen is already the best thing, how can there be anything better than linen?
Huang Jue didn't point out that they believed it now, anyway, they got back the silkworm cocoons, and they would know when the silk was woven.
Carefully controlling the ability to walk among the trees, the tender green vines danced along with the ability, wherever they passed, silkworm cocoons fell, and a net woven by vines followed closely, catching the fallen of silkworm cocoons.
After a while, one tree was picked and moved to another tree.
Even though everyone already knew that Huang Jue's supernatural power is very magical and very easy to use, but when they saw it again at this time, they still opened their mouths in shock, "This, this, this is too amazing, isn't it?"
Divine power can still be used like this!
For a moment, everyone was stunned to see Huang Jue controlling the vines to pick cocoons.
Huang Jue...
What's the matter with suddenly having a sense of street performance o(╯□╰)o
Yan saw that Huang Jue's face that was still in high spirits flashed a trace of uneasiness, and instantly became depressed, and tried hard to hold back his gaze as if he didn't care about the surroundings. He couldn't help laughing, cleared his throat, and said seriously. face, glanced around, and said loudly, "Okay, everyone, don't be in a daze, hurry up and work! We can go hunting after we finish!"
Although Yan didn't have much contact with the tribe, but because of his strong combat power, he still had a lot of prestige in people's hearts.
When he spoke, everyone couldn't stare at Huang Jue anymore, busy with work.
Zhan and Shou looked at each other with pride on their faces, Jue was their brother, dear!
……
After working for half a day, the cocoons were picked clean.
Except for those that have been broken for too long, the intact silkworm cocoons are piled up together, and the pile is as high as a person.
Huang Jue wrapped the cocoons tightly with a net made of vines to ensure that the cocoons would not be exposed, and then lowered his head to search for mulberry seeds under the thick withered leaves.
Mulberry trees can be planted in a wide range of methods, such as planting seeds, grafting and layering, and of course, direct transplantation.
But here is too far away from the tribe, and it is unrealistic to transplant mulberry trees on the shoulders; for grafting and layering, someone has to take care of it from time to time, Huang Jue is not that patient, and the tribe does not know this, and the grafting and layering are all in spring and summer , It's not worth running here alone for this at that time.
After much deliberation, it is still convenient to plant seeds.
Anyway, he has supernatural powers, as long as the seeds are not broken, he can guarantee the seeds to germinate... The only regret is that the seeds have to grow from small saplings, and the leaves that grow by then don’t know if they will be enough for silkworms to eat -_- ||
After being busy for so long, everyone was already hungry, so they handed over the silkworm cocoons to Huang Jue, and then ran to hunt, only Yan was still by Huang Jue's side.
"What are you looking for?" Yan squatted down, watching Huang Jue move.
"Mulberry seeds." Huang Jue pushed aside the dead branches and leaves, picked up a brown seed from the ground, and handed it to Yan, "here, this is it."
Yan took a look, wrote it down, and searched with Huang Jue, "You said this kind of tree is called a mulberry tree?"
"That's right, mulberry tree, I've seen this kind of tree at the God of the Earth, that's what the God of the Earth called it." Afraid Yan asked him how he knew, Huang Jue made up nonsense.Wei Wei is a little guilty. From time travel to the present, he has lied more than his previous life combined, and he will have to lie in the future... Fortunately, he is not of Pinocchio physique, otherwise his nose would not be able to pierce the earth o(╯ □╰)o
"Huh? Have you seen mulberry trees and silkworms before?"
Remembering that Yan knew the growth process of silkworms, Huang Jue asked, secretly guessing, did the Fire Tribe already have silk?
Yan nodded, "When I was in the tribe before, I saw people roasting this kind of bugs to eat."
Such a cute baby silkworm does not keep spinning cocoons to make silk, but it is roasted and eaten as food...
Huang Jue twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked with some difficulty, "Is it delicious?"
Yan shook his head, "I haven't eaten it, only slaves eat this."
Huang Jue, "Haven't you ever thought of using it to make clothes?"
Yan didn't know what to think of, and his expression was a bit indescribable, "It is said that the previous witch saw spiders weaving silk and weaving webs, and wanted to try to use those silks to weave cloth..."
Huang Jue, "???"
What did you say?I didn't hear clearly?
Weaving cloth from spider silk, are you kidding me?
The questioning expression on Huang Jue's face was so obvious that Yan was a little embarrassed, "Of course it wasn't woven. The spider silk is soft, sticky and easy to break. Even if it was made into cloth, it couldn't be worn. Later Wu also tried to use This kind of cocoon was made into cloth, but it was so lumpy that it was impossible to make it, so I gave up after trying several times without success.”
Huang Jue understood.
In later generations, even those who have never raised silkworms will probably know that silkworm cocoons should be boiled in a pot of boiling water to soften them.But now, people have not found a suitable method, and they feel that it is extremely difficult to draw silk. The so-called blindness is nothing more than that.
But that's fine, no one else knows how to do it, as long as they know, their tribe will be the only tribe that can make silk in the future.
Because the cloth tribe has mastered the technology of weaving linen, it has grown rapidly from the bottom of the medium-sized tribe to the leader of the medium-sized tribe.Silk is much more high-grade than linen. With this technology, there is no need to worry about the rapid development of the tribes.
After Huang Jue and the others collected enough seeds, the hunters rushed back one after another.
When going out for group activities, the food is evenly distributed, and no one cares about who does less and who eats more.
Everyone worked together to pack up the hunted prey, roast it, and eat it in a pile.
The sun is westward, the sky is dimmed, and it is unrealistic to go back to the tribe.
Fortunately, all of them were experienced fighters. They skillfully lit a bonfire around them, set up traps, and assigned night watchmen to rest.
Sleeping outside in autumn, Huang Jue was worried that he would be too cold to sleep at night. In fact, the surrounding bonfires were burning vigorously all night, and everyone was wrapped in animal skins and huddled together, so it was not cold at all.
A sense of dawn.
For the next two days, everyone was wandering in the deep mountains, and Huang Jue temporarily gave up looking for medicinal materials, and used his abilities to cooperate with the crowd in hunting.
The results are quite gratifying.
In addition to the rich prey, Huang Jue also captured three half-sized wild boar cubs, six gray-haired rabbits, and five goats.
In the tribe, the three deer he raised survived smoothly, and two of the does have already had cubs, and it is expected that there will be cubs born in early summer next year.
Ever since raising those three deer, Huang Jue has been groping to raise others, and asked the hunting team to help him bring back the live prey as much as possible, and he would exchange it with herbs.
After accumulating for so long, there are only seven more pheasants, a pair of rabbits and two bamboo rats in the farm that Huang Jue circled o(╯□╰)o
If he knew that hunting with the hunting team would get so many living creatures, he would have cooperated with the hunting team long ago!
Back at the tribe, everyone was warmly welcomed.
People circled the meat mountains in disbelief, their eyes filled with joy, "I have hunted so many prey, and with the corn and soybeans grown in the tribe, I don't have to worry about being hungry this winter!"
"Not only do you not have to go hungry, but you can still eat enough every day."
"Yes, yes! Not only do you not have to worry about being hungry, but you also don't have to worry about being frozen. I burned the kang yesterday, and the whole house was heated, even the ground was hot..."
"I burned too. It was really warm. I stayed in the house with my clothes on, and I was sweating too much!"
"It's all Jue's idea, otherwise we wouldn't have thought of this!"
"It is also the kindness of the God of the Earth..."
……
The topic quickly jumped from the prey to the fire kang and the earth dragon. After praising Huang Jue and the God of the Earth, he jumped back. After hearing that most of the prey were hunted by Huang Jue with his divine power, there was another meal praise.
At this time, Huang Jue and Yan had already rushed to the residence with their respective trophies.
Because Huang Jue made great efforts during the hunting process, Zhan Heguang gave Huang Jue a roe deer in addition to the living animals.
Relying on his own ability, Yan alone hunted two wild boars and a giant python, together with the prey given to him by the hunting team, a pile of meaty mountains was firmly tied together by Huang Jue with vines.If it weren't for his innate supernatural power, he really couldn't resist this mountain of meat.
Rao is so, it is also a step by step and a deep footprint, which is very difficult.
Feng stayed in the tribe to patrol and did not go out.
Hearing the cheers, he knew that the hunting team had come back. Just as he was about to go to have a look, he happened to meet Huang Jue and the others.
"Why did you carry so many things? This hunting has a good harvest?"
Feng deftly took the roe deer from Huang Jue's shoulder, glanced at the string of prey behind Huang Jue, and then at the mountain of meat carried by Gu Yan, with a surprised tone.
Huang Jue rubbed his sore shoulders, and said as he walked, "Well, we hunted a lot of prey, enough to last for a whole winter."
It is cold here in winter and it snows frequently.After the heavy snow closed the mountains, there was no way to go hunting in the mountains and forests. People hoarded as much food as possible before winter.
Turning to look at Yan, "Why don't you put the prey here first, and call Ah Da Ah Er Ah San to help when I go back?"
Yan shook his head, "No, it will be there in a while."
Huang Jue knew Yan's temper, and he didn't like to trouble others, so he stopped persuading him.
Feng ignored Yan, she had a lot of things to say to Huang Jue, "The day after you left, Lao Shi finished the stone mill, and my father and Wu went to grind the corn in person. The corn is put in from that groove, and it is really ground into flour..."
The tone was slightly excited, "Father asked Ah Da to boil water, mix the cornmeal with cold water, pour it into the pot, and cooked a thick pot of golden corn porridge, it was delicious, I have never had such delicious Stuff! There is also the soy bean, which is also delicious when ground into soy milk, but how do you make the tofu you mentioned? Father and Wu have grinded it several times, but they still can’t grind the white, lumpy tofu you mentioned.”
Huang Jue said with a smile, "Tofu can't be ground by simply grinding it with a stone. You have to light it with brine. Didn't I teach you how to remove the bitterness in the salt? After filtering out the refined salt, the remaining water is brine. Pour it into the soy milk, and the soy milk will solidify...I'll show you when I get back."
The tribe's salt is mined directly from the salt mines and contains magnesium chloride, which tastes slightly bitter.People in the tribe have eaten this kind of salt since they were young, and they don't feel like eating it, but Huang Jue is not used to it.After making sure that he would not arouse suspicion by using the name of the God of the Earth, Huang Jue told people how to refine refined salt.
Feng's eyes brightened slightly, "So that's the case, I said that the God of the Earth will not lie!"
The God of the Earth said that soybeans can be made into tofu, so it must be able to be made into tofu. They didn't succeed in making tofu, so the method was wrong!
With Huang Jue's guidance, the tofu was quickly made, and it was a whole piece of Bai Yingying, which looked cute.
The way to eat tofu is also very simple. Whether it is eaten raw or cold, or fried in animal oil, it is delicious, or it can be made into tofu soup.
In winter, put the tofu outside and freeze it. Not only can it be stored for a long time, but the frozen tofu has a strong taste and a different flavor.
A dish of tofu greatly enriches people's recipes.
Listening to Huang Jue's introduction of various ways to eat tofu, Mu and Wu's eyes became brighter and brighter. They broke a piece of tofu and tasted it, and it was really smooth and delicious.After Huang Jue finished speaking, he immediately asked the slave to cook all kinds of tofu according to Huang Jue's instructions, er, frozen tofu will be made in winter.
Huang Jue thought it was too troublesome to wait in line to use the tribal stone mill, so he brought a roe deer leg and some Chinese herbal medicines such as Bupleurum Huoxiang and other herbs that can clear away heat and relieve the appearance, and asked Laoshi to order them.
When Lao Shi was making stone mills, he thought that other people in the tribe would come to him to order stone mills. After finishing the tribe's stone mills, he made two more.
Huang Jue wanted it, and Lao Shi asked Shi to send it to him directly.
Shi Hei put on a face, "I still have a lot of work to do, and I haven't packed up the prey, so I don't have time to help him. Besides, people don't necessarily care about asking me to help..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lao Shi took his cane and slapped him twice, "If you want to see it off, you can see it off, there's so much nonsense!"
Let him make friends with Jue, he will be fine, but when he sees Jue, he will feel weird.The stone mill was not sinking, and when other people in the tribe saw it, they knew that Jue's body couldn't move the stone mill, so they would think of going forward to help, but instead he babbled a lot of nonsense!
Lao Shi was almost mad at his son.
Shi was not convinced, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Huang Jue.
Huang Jue smiled, "It's really not necessary, I still have something to go to Guang's house, this stone mill is temporarily placed here, I will let Ah Da Ah Er come and move it later."
Shi is not willing to give it away, and he is not willing to look at Shi's stinky face.
Without waiting for Lao Shi to say more, Huang Jue turned and left.
Old Shi Qi scolded Shi, "You bastard! Look at what you are doing?! Ordinary clansmen can still help each other. When Jue comes here to give food and herbs, you can't help him?"
The stone stem scratched his neck, "That's what he should! He even bought a stone mill from us! Besides, you asked me to send a stone knife last time, but he didn't accept it, making me ashamed in front of so many people, as if we It's like fawning on him! Fortunately, I didn't rush to agree this time, otherwise I would be rejected by him again, and I wouldn't be ashamed!"
Lao Shi pointed at him, his hands trembling in anger.
Looking at Shi's stubborn eyes, he was suddenly discouraged, "Forget it, it's up to you, as long as you don't regret it in the future!"
Shi was not like this before. Ever since he was beaten up by Jue and his two slaves when he was ten years old, his temperament has become extremely sensitive. When others looked at him more often, he felt that they were laughing at him, and even more so. Face is more important than life - although in many cases, the face he thinks is not worth anything at all.
I sighed secretly in my heart, not knowing who to blame.
Of course there is Jue's reason for this, but Shi was not the only one who was bullied in those years, but Shi was the only one who became like this.
"However, I have to tell you clearly. Although Jue exchanged things for our stone mill, but whether the stone mill is worth that much, I don't say, you know it in your heart."
Shi's mouth was pursed into a line, and he didn't make a sound.
Of course he knew in his heart that apart from this craft, stone grinding was not worth anything at all.Isn't it just two stones stacked together?There are not many other things in the tribe, but there are many stones.Besides, this skill was taught to Lao Shi by Jue.
In the past, when people from the tribe came to Laoshi to sharpen stone knives and axes, they only paid a few pieces of meat the size of a palm as compensation. The roe deer legs that Huang Jue gave were obviously too much.
Lao Shi continued, "The most rare thing is these herbs given by Jue. In what winter did no one in the tribe suffer from fever and cold? You don't get paid for medicines from witches? How can you be ashamed if you pay less? Jue considers all these things. When I arrived, I brought the herbal medicine directly, isn't it just to save me a fortune? And this old grass, which is specially designed to relieve pain, is not prepared for my leg? When it rains and snows on a cloudy day, my leg It's painful... think about it for yourself."
With a sigh, he put away the herbs, picked up a semi-finished stone knife and slowly polished it.
Shi Zui moved his mouth, wanting to say that those herbs were picked from the forest and they were not worth anything, but he also knew that was not the case.
After all, he didn't say anything, and continued to pack his prey with his head drooping.
**
When Huang Jue came to Guang's house, Guang's wife Qing was drying the animal skin mattress with her stomach full.
Seeing Huang Jue coming in, Qing paused, and said coldly, "Are you looking for Guang? Guang is in the room, go in by yourself." Turning her back to Huang Jue, she continued to pat the animal skin mattress.
Huang Jue remembered what the original owner had done, rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "Well, I'm sorry for what happened before." After all, he occupied the original owner's body, and it was right to say sorry for the original owner when he met.
Different from Shi's situation, in Shi's matter, those two slaves had paid with their lives, and the original owner was also punished, so Huang Jue didn't feel that the original owner owed Shi anything. of.
But Guang and Qing are completely innocent disasters, and they haven't yet sought justice.
Qing didn't stop slapping the animal skin, pretending not to hear it.
What's the use of saying I'm sorry now, if she hadn't been so lucky back then, she would have been killed by wild beasts long ago!As long as she thought of the panic and despair at the beginning, she couldn't calm down.
Hearing the sound, Guang came out of the house with a piece of cornbread in his mouth, "Jue, are you here? Come in and sit in the room, you can try the cornbread made by Qingcai."
During the past few days of hunting, Guang's impression of Huang Jue has completely changed, let alone Huang Jue saved his life.Looking at Huang Jue at this time is no different from looking at his own brothers.
Huang Jue glanced at Qing's froze movements, and hurriedly smiled, "No need, I also make tortillas at home, and I can eat them when I get back."
Guang Guang didn't force it, "Are you here to ask for the bear's paw? I also said I'll pack up the bear's paw and send it to you. If you're in a hurry, I'll get it for you right away."
"Uh...not all of them. When I went back to clean up the house, I dug out some medicinal materials and thought you might need them, so I sent them to you."
The contact these few days not only changed Guang's opinion of Huang Jue, Huang Jue's impression of Guang was also very good. He is generous, bold, and loyal, and he is a person worth making friends with!
Having won the other party's four bear's paws, Huang Jue always felt weak in his heart, feeling that he had taken advantage of the light, went back and thought about it, and simply brought a wild ginseng over.
Just looking at the centuries-old ginseng in Huang Jue's hand, he knew how valuable this package of medicinal materials was, and he refused to accept it anyway.
Although he doesn't know medicinal materials, he has also heard that such wild ginseng can help seriously injured people hang their breath.With such a sigh of relief, when he returns to the tribe, he has a great hope of being saved by the witch - after all, the witch has dozens of more holy medicines in his hand!
Huang Jue said nonchalantly, "Although this thing is expensive, it is not difficult for me to get it."
What he said was the truth. In the present or the end of the world, hundreds of years of wild ginseng have long been hidden by people as rare treasures.
But in this primitive world, the surrounding mountains and forests have existed for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, and the medicinal materials inside have basically never been picked since they grew up. For Huang Jue, who was assisted by supernatural powers, it was not difficult to find.
"Besides, this mountain ginseng is not specially prepared for you. When Qing gives birth, if she loses strength, taking a slice will benefit both adults and children."
The hand that just pushed and refused stopped.
If it was just for him, he would definitely not want it, but when it comes to Qinghe's unborn cub... just take advantage of it, and just return it when you find a chance later.
Even Qing turned his head and looked at Huang Jue in surprise, as if he didn't expect that a person like Jue would think about others.
Huang Jue also stayed for a while, and went back with four bear paws, and asked Ah Da and Ah Er to go to Lao Shi's house to move the stone mill, while he wandered to find Yan by himself.
In such a short time, Yan had already peeled off the skin of the prey, and the skin of the giant python was packed and put aside.
Python skin is tough and not easy to pierce, so it is a good material for making leather armor.
The boa constrictor meat was divided into pieces by him and simply cured with salt, and the wild boar meat was treated in the same way.
He exchanged the salt with the tribe's prey. Two days before he went to the trade conference, the tribe would distribute the salt again, and he would get a share at that time, so he didn't feel bad about using the salt now. .
"You cut up all the meat?" Huang Jue was surprised.
Yan nodded, "I want to go to the trade conference and exchange the meat for some slaves."

What the hell?
Silkworm cocoons?silk?
What are you talking about?Why can't you understand? !
"No, you said this thing can be worn?" A soldier held up a small cocoon with an indescribable expression, "How do you wear it? Hang it on a string?"

Relying on his own ability, Yan alone hunted two wild boars and a giant python, together with the prey given to him by the hunting team, a pile of meaty mountains was firmly tied together by Huang Jue with vines.If it weren't for his innate supernatural power, he really couldn't resist this mountain of meat.
Rao is so, it is also a step by step and a deep footprint, which is very difficult.
Feng stayed in the tribe to patrol and did not go out.
Hearing the cheers, he knew that the hunting team had come back. Just as he was about to go to have a look, he happened to meet Huang Jue and the others.
"Why did you carry so many things? This hunting has a good harvest?"
Feng deftly took the roe deer from Huang Jue's shoulder, glanced at the string of prey behind Huang Jue, and then at the mountain of meat carried by Gu Yan, with a surprised tone.
Huang Jue rubbed his sore shoulders, and said as he walked, "Well, we hunted a lot of prey, enough to last for a whole winter."
It is cold here in winter and it snows frequently.After the heavy snow closed the mountains, there was no way to go hunting in the mountains and forests. People hoarded as much food as possible before winter.
Turning to look at Yan, "Why don't you put the prey here first, and call Ah Da Ah Er Ah San to help when I go back?"
Yan shook his head, "No, it will be there in a while."
Huang Jue knew Yan's temper, and he didn't like to trouble others, so he stopped persuading him.
Feng ignored Yan, she had a lot of things to say to Huang Jue, "The day after you left, Lao Shi finished the stone mill, and my father and Wu went to grind the corn in person. The corn is put in from that groove, and it is really ground into flour..."
The tone was slightly excited, "Father asked Ah Da to boil water, mix the cornmeal with cold water, pour it into the pot, and cooked a thick pot of golden corn porridge, it was delicious, I have never had such delicious Stuff! There is also the soy bean, which is also delicious when ground into soy milk, but how do you make the tofu you mentioned? Father and Wu have grinded it several times, but they still can’t grind the white, lumpy tofu you mentioned.”
Huang Jue said with a smile, "Tofu can't be ground by simply grinding it with a stone. You have to light it with brine. Didn't I teach you how to remove the bitterness in the salt? After filtering out the refined salt, the remaining water is brine. Pour it into the soy milk, and the soy milk will solidify...I'll show you when I get back."
The tribe's salt is mined directly from the salt mines and contains magnesium chloride, which tastes slightly bitter.People in the tribe have eaten this kind of salt since they were young, and they don't feel like eating it, but Huang Jue is not used to it.After making sure that he would not arouse suspicion by using the name of the God of the Earth, Huang Jue told people how to refine refined salt.
Feng's eyes brightened slightly, "So that's the case, I said that the God of the Earth will not lie!"
The God of the Earth said that soybeans can be made into tofu, so it must be able to be made into tofu. They didn't succeed in making tofu, so the method was wrong!
With Huang Jue's guidance, the tofu was quickly made, and it was a whole piece of Bai Yingying, which looked cute.
The way to eat tofu is also very simple. Whether it is eaten raw or cold, or fried in animal oil, it is delicious, or it can be made into tofu soup.
In winter, put the tofu outside and freeze it. Not only can it be stored for a long time, but the frozen tofu has a strong taste and a different flavor.
A dish of tofu greatly enriches people's recipes.
Listening to Huang Jue's introduction of various ways to eat tofu, Mu and Wu's eyes became brighter and brighter. They broke a piece of tofu and tasted it, and it was really smooth and delicious.After Huang Jue finished speaking, he immediately asked the slave to cook all kinds of tofu according to Huang Jue's instructions, er, frozen tofu will be made in winter.
Huang Jue thought it was too troublesome to wait in line to use the tribal stone mill, so he brought a roe deer leg and some Chinese herbal medicines such as Bupleurum Huoxiang and other herbs that can clear away heat and relieve the appearance, and asked Laoshi to order them.
When Lao Shi was making stone mills, he thought that other people in the tribe would come to him to order stone mills. After finishing the tribe's stone mills, he made two more.
Huang Jue wanted it, and Lao Shi asked Shi to send it to him directly.
Shi Hei put on a face, "I still have a lot of work to do, and I haven't packed up the prey, so I don't have time to help him. Besides, people don't necessarily care about asking me to help..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lao Shi took his cane and slapped him twice, "If you want to see it off, you can see it off, there's so much nonsense!"
Let him make friends with Jue, he will be fine, but when he sees Jue, he will feel weird.The stone mill was not sinking, and when other people in the tribe saw it, they knew that Jue's body couldn't move the stone mill, so they would think of going forward to help, but instead he babbled a lot of nonsense!
Lao Shi was almost mad at his son.
Shi was not convinced, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Huang Jue.
Huang Jue smiled, "It's really not necessary, I still have something to go to Guang's house, this stone mill is temporarily placed here, I will let Ah Da Ah Er come and move it later."
Shi is not willing to give it away, and he is not willing to look at Shi's stinky face.
Without waiting for Lao Shi to say more, Huang Jue turned and left.
Old Shi Qi scolded Shi, "You bastard! Look at what you are doing?! Ordinary clansmen can still help each other. When Jue comes here to give food and herbs, you can't help him?"
The stone stem scratched his neck, "That's what he should! He even bought a stone mill from us! Besides, you asked me to send a stone knife last time, but he didn't accept it, making me ashamed in front of so many people, as if we It's like fawning on him! Fortunately, I didn't rush to agree this time, otherwise I would be rejected by him again, and I wouldn't be ashamed!"
Lao Shi pointed at him, his hands trembling in anger.
Looking at Shi's stubborn eyes, he was suddenly discouraged, "Forget it, it's up to you, as long as you don't regret it in the future!"
Shi was not like this before. Ever since he was beaten up by Jue and his two slaves when he was ten years old, his temperament has become extremely sensitive. When others looked at him more often, he felt that they were laughing at him, and even more so. Face is more important than life - although in many cases, the face he thinks is not worth anything at all.
I sighed secretly in my heart, not knowing who to blame.
Of course there is Jue's reason for this, but Shi was not the only one who was bullied in those years, but Shi was the only one who became like this.
"However, I have to tell you clearly. Although Jue exchanged things for our stone mill, but whether the stone mill is worth that much, I don't say, you know it in your heart."
Shi's mouth was pursed into a line, and he didn't make a sound.
Of course he knew in his heart that apart from this craft, stone grinding was not worth anything at all.Isn't it just two stones stacked together?There are not many other things in the tribe, but there are many stones.Besides, this skill was taught to Lao Shi by Jue.
In the past, when people from the tribe came to Laoshi to sharpen stone knives and axes, they only paid a few pieces of meat the size of a palm as compensation. The roe deer legs that Huang Jue gave were obviously too much.
Lao Shi continued, "The most rare thing is these herbs given by Jue. In what winter did no one in the tribe suffer from fever and cold? You don't get paid for medicines from witches? How can you be ashamed if you pay less? Jue considers all these things. When I arrived, I brought the herbal medicine directly, isn't it just to save me a fortune? And this old grass, which is specially designed to relieve pain, is not prepared for my leg? When it rains and snows on a cloudy day, my leg It's painful... think about it for yourself."
With a sigh, he put away the herbs, picked up a semi-finished stone knife and slowly polished it.
Shi Zui moved his mouth, wanting to say that those herbs were picked from the forest and they were not worth anything, but he also knew that was not the case.
After all, he didn't say anything, and continued to pack his prey with his head drooping.
**
When Huang Jue came to Guang's house, Guang's wife Qing was drying the animal skin mattress with her stomach full.
Seeing Huang Jue coming in, Qing paused, and said coldly, "Are you looking for Guang? Guang is in the room, go in by yourself." Turning her back to Huang Jue, she continued to pat the animal skin mattress.
Huang Jue remembered what the original owner had done, rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "Well, I'm sorry for what happened before." After all, he occupied the original owner's body, and it was right to say sorry for the original owner when he met.
Different from Shi's situation, in Shi's matter, those two slaves had paid with their lives, and the original owner was also punished, so Huang Jue didn't feel that the original owner owed Shi anything. of.
But Guang and Qing are completely innocent disasters, and they haven't yet sought justice.
Qing didn't stop slapping the animal skin, pretending not to hear it.
What's the use of saying I'm sorry now, if she hadn't been so lucky back then, she would have been killed by wild beasts long ago!As long as she thought of the panic and despair at the beginning, she couldn't calm down.
Hearing the sound, Guang came out of the house with a piece of cornbread in his mouth, "Jue, are you here? Come in and sit in the room, you can try the cornbread made by Qingcai."
During the past few days of hunting, Guang's impression of Huang Jue has completely changed, let alone Huang Jue saved his life.Looking at Huang Jue at this time is no different from looking at his own brothers.
Huang Jue glanced at Qing's froze movements, and hurriedly smiled, "No need, I also make tortillas at home, and I can eat them when I get back."
Guang Guang didn't force it, "Are you here to ask for the bear's paw? I also said I'll pack up the bear's paw and send it to you. If you're in a hurry, I'll get it for you right away."
"Uh...not all of them. When I went back to clean up the house, I dug out some medicinal materials and thought you might need them, so I sent them to you."
The contact these few days not only changed Guang's opinion of Huang Jue, Huang Jue's impression of Guang was also very good. He is generous, bold, and loyal, and he is a person worth making friends with!
Having won the other party's four bear's paws, Huang Jue always felt weak in his heart, feeling that he had taken advantage of the light, went back and thought about it, and simply brought a wild ginseng over.
Just looking at the centuries-old ginseng in Huang Jue's hand, he knew how valuable this package of medicinal materials was, and he refused to accept it anyway.
Although he doesn't know medicinal materials, he has also heard that such wild ginseng can help seriously injured people hang their breath.With such a sigh of relief, when he returns to the tribe, he has a great hope of being saved by the witch - after all, the witch has dozens of more holy medicines in his hand!
Huang Jue said nonchalantly, "Although this thing is expensive, it is not difficult for me to get it."
What he said was the truth. In the present or the end of the world, hundreds of years of wild ginseng have long been hidden by people as rare treasures.
But in this primitive world, the surrounding mountains and forests have existed for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, and the medicinal materials inside have basically never been picked since they grew up. For Huang Jue, who was assisted by supernatural powers, it was not difficult to find.
"Besides, this mountain ginseng is not specially prepared for you. When Qing gives birth, if she loses strength, taking a slice will benefit both adults and children."
The hand that just pushed and refused stopped.
If it was just for him, he would definitely not want it, but when it comes to Qinghe's unborn cub... just take advantage of it, and just return it when you find a chance later.
Even Qing turned his head and looked at Huang Jue in surprise, as if he didn't expect that a person like Jue would think about others.
Huang Jue also stayed for a while, and went back with four bear paws, and asked Ah Da and Ah Er to go to Lao Shi's house to move the stone mill, while he wandered to find Yan by himself.
In such a short time, Yan had already peeled off the skin of the prey, and the skin of the giant python was packed and put aside.
Python skin is tough and not easy to pierce, so it is a good material for making leather armor.
The boa constrictor meat was divided into pieces by him and simply cured with salt, and the wild boar meat was treated in the same way.
He exchanged the salt with the tribe's prey. Two days before he went to the trade conference, the tribe would distribute the salt again, and he would get a share at that time, so he didn't feel bad about using the salt now. .
"You cut up all the meat?" Huang Jue was surprised.
Yan nodded, "I want to go to the trade conference and exchange the meat for some slaves."
