Chapter 9 Worked

Kusanagi, as the name suggests, is a grassy swamp, but in swamps, there are many aquatic plants and trees that are difficult to survive.

Here, at the easternmost position of the grassy swamp, from here to the forest on the edge of the great lake, it takes a day's journey to catch up.

Therefore, even if there is no shortage of trees in the primitive world, they are currently on the grassy swamp and can only see sporadic hills, and the trees on the hills are still very weak, but wood is very rare.

If the use of firewood is not controlled, the trees on these small soil pockets within the tribal territory will definitely not last long, and if these trees that have taken root in the cold wind of the Great Lake with great difficulty are gone, those small soil pockets and mountains will be destroyed in the shortest time. disappear in time.

Although this is only a wintering place for the tribe, and although she had planned last night to choose a suitable place to live when she migrated next year, Xia Weiwei, who was still in the modern thinking mode, subconsciously carried out the environmental protection mode.

At this moment, she didn't realize that she was thinking too much, and the Aoki family, who was exposed to fire for the first time, didn't even have it.

I saw that Aoki raised his hand after pondering for a moment, and gently pressed Xia Weiwei's hair: "Daddy Aoki has remembered."

"Then I'll go first." Trying her best to suppress the urge to turn her head away, Xia Weiwei stood up naturally after finishing her sentence.

Because of the child's standing posture, Aoki withdrew his hand and pulled back, grabbing Xia Weiwei who was about to turn around: "Don't go into the water."

"I know." It's not easy for a group of men to catch fish, and she has that confidence.

Aoki's whimsy was a little funny, Xia Weiwei smiled unconsciously.

Looking at the child who recovered the cheerful appearance of the child's father before his death, Aoki couldn't say anything else.

Letting go, he just watched the child pick up the grass dregs he vomited, and turned away after watching her spread it to the back of his tent.

After the child's figure disappeared, Qingmei, who had been frowning tightly, asked, "Qingmu?"

"Don't think too much, don't worry." He didn't say how his attitude changed so much, he just gave his woman a reassuring look.

Let a child survive by himself, she can feel at ease: "During the rest, I will collect more hay, and then you and your son will spend more time in the water."

It's just that there is no fire, and they spend a lot of time in the water every day, let alone a fire.

Nodding, Aoki urged: "Eat quickly, it's getting late."

When Qingmu arranged for people to pick up dry branches and dead trees, and collect reed flowers, velvet grass, and hay, Xia Weiwei explored the 500-meter radius around the tent.

While discovering mint, Polygonum polygonum, and Meirenjiao, which have medicinal value, and several familiar plants that have not completely withered but are not far from dying, Xia Weiwei also determined the reserves of lotus root and taro.

"I really don't know how these people's brains grow!"

Eat lotus tips and lotus seeds, but don't eat lotus roots.

···I don't know what expression she will have when she eats lotus root!
···I don't know if the taro here can be imported.

Muttering a word, Xia Weiwei slid into a shallow ditch that was basically thirsty without hesitation, and when she felt the sticky mud under the slightly dry surface, she unconsciously shivered.

To be honest, if she hadn't gone to the lotus pond to dig lotus roots when she was a child, she might not be able to control this muddy pond.

This feeling really cannot be described in words.

In her heart, some beautiful pictures flashed past her, and her hands stretched into the mud without hesitation.

Xia Weiwei first removed the silt in front of her, and then dug along the roots and roots under the mud. In the lotus pond, which had never been dug by anyone, the number of lotus roots under the silt was astonishing. , a section of lotus root as thick as three fingers was successfully pulled up by her, and it didn't take much time.

However, bending over to dig out the mud is very hurtful, and it takes more work to pull out the whole lotus root. When she successfully pulled out this section of lotus root, she almost didn't feel tired and broke out in a sweat.

"Hiss~" Digging lotus roots is really hard work.

Feeling emotional in his heart, Xia Weiwei tried his best to wipe off the silt covering the lotus root, and then threw it by the side of the ditch.

Wheezing, she dug one or two to rest for a while, hey hey hey, she shouted the rhythm and worked hard.

Finally, after two hours, she felt that it was almost done.

After getting out of the shallow ditch, Xia Weiwei first threw all the lotus roots into the nearby pool to soak, then chewed two of them slowly after washing them, and then walked towards the tent with the ones on his back.

At this time, there was no one in the tent, but she didn't stay long, and after collecting some reed flowers, velvet grass, and dry grass, she resolutely turned to the nearest mountain bag.

There are not many trees on the hill, and they are not very climate-friendly, but these dwarf trees that are basically shrubs are exactly what Xia Weiwei wants.

After a while, there were three more bundles of fresh branches about 1.5 meters to two meters long and the thickness of a little finger in front of the tent.

For the sturdiness of the fish basket, Xia Weiwei took the trouble to collect the velvet grass, but when the branches and the tough velvet grass rope were ready, Xia Weiwei was stumped by how to combine them.

Thinking back and forth in my heart, I repeatedly assembled and disassembled with my hands.When Xia Weiwei finally felt that it was okay, it was already more than three hours later.

"Huh~" It's really not easy!
After shaking her small arms for a while, she stood up and stretched, and stretched her legs, and then she started to continue again. With the successful first one, the second and third ones are much easier to make.

In fact, the second one not only took less time to complete, but also looks much better than the first one.

Of course, the third one is even more perfect.

After admiring it for a while, Xia Weiwei picked up a small branch and walked towards the pool.

After digging and digging, after an hour and a half, she finally gave up the idea of ​​using earthworms as bait.

After standing blankly by the pond for a long time, Xia Weiwei turned around and entered the tent.

When she came out, she was holding a five-section lotus root in one hand, and a heavy stone ax weighing seven or eight catties in the other.

Xia Weiwei was silent again in front of the tent, then put down the lotus root and stone ax to pick up the remaining twigs.

Break off the branches, put them side by side, and clamp them tightly together, and a simple chopping board is completed.

Carefully smashing the lotus root into foam, Xia Weiwei divided them into ten small piles, and then wrapped the piles with hay and tied them up.

After putting three of them into the fish basket, she checked the fish basket again, and then carried them to the water's edge with the straps on.

At this time, apart from the four burning fires on the bank of the water slope, there were only Ada, who was adding withered grass back and forth, and Grandpa Kezi, who was not far away, staring closely at the underwater.

There were neither women nor children nor men around.

In the distance, Xia Weiwei glanced at them, then looked away, and walked west along the bank.

As for the question of fishing, Xia Weiwei felt very speechless because her memory was too vivid, so that she didn't want to see what was going on in the water and whether the harvest was good or not at all, nor did she want to know.

She was really afraid that she would be able to spit out the slots after watching it, so much that she couldn't help but spray out the fishing methods such as fish baskets, traps, and fishing nets.
