Chapter 39
I searched around again, found some wild fruits, picked them and put them in the backpack I was carrying, and picked a lot of wild vegetables.

Although I had eaten enough when I was in the cave, but now that I saw it, I was reluctant to give up, even if I didn’t eat it now, it would be good to take it back to dry and store it, and eat it later.

After two years of drought and this month of floods, they already knew the importance of food.As long as it is food, I will not let it go. After all, I have food in my hand, so I don’t panic.

When the men came back from hunting, it was already past noon, and everyone hurriedly tied up the yams with vines and carried them back to the mountain depression.

Because there was no prey nearby, they traveled a long distance, so they came back late.

But the harvest is gratifying, not only pheasants and hares were shot, but also two black goats and a wild boar!
After Fang Youwei shot the wild boar in the eye with an arrow, they rushed forward and chopped the wild boar to the ground.

This is the first time they actually participated in the hunt!On the way to the col before, they watched Fang Youwei shoot the prey, and they went to help pick it up.

So this time they had a more sense of participation, and they all came back in high spirits.

The old people and children at home cheered excitedly when they saw so many things!

Especially the children, bouncing around wild boars and goats clapping their hands.

Afterwards, everyone packed up the prey in full swing, as lively as the Chinese New Year.

Fang Youwei took care of the wild boars. When he was in the village, he helped others butcher pigs. His skills were no worse than those of the butchers.

After the wild boar was killed, the bones were shaved, and the meat was divided into pieces. Mrs. Li brought a large bag of salt, and the women and the old people marinated the meat together.

Today there is mutton, they are going to eat the two goats stewed with yam, pheasant, hare, and pork are marinated first.

But the pork bones and internal organs can be stewed in one pot.

In the morning, Jiayin has become acquainted with the group of children through Fang Zhiyuan's leadership.

These children all like the white and tender Jiayin, and are willing to play with her, especially after Jiayin has shown her great strength, everyone worships her even more.

It is said that Zhuang Laoli and the women all went to the mountains this morning, and only the old people and children were left in the valley.

Mrs. Yang didn't go out today, she went to chat with the old people in the clan.

Jiayin and Zhiyuan ran to the stream to play with the children who were playing in the water.

Fang Zhiyuan took Jiayin and introduced to these brothers and sisters of the same race: "This is my sister Jiayin, she is five years old this year."

Then he pointed to the people on the opposite side one by one and said to Jiayin: "This is Zhigang, Zhilin, Zhicai, Zhiyu, and Zhiqiang. This is Chunni, Yueya, Baozhen, and Cuiyun. They are all older than you. Just call me brother and sister."

The children playing in the water here are all children aged six to eight, no matter how old they are, they all go to help with the work, and the young ones are watched by the elderly, who are afraid of accidents and are not allowed to play in the water.

Jiayin looked at the boys and said, "Why do you have the character Zhi in the middle of your names?"

Among them, Fang Zhigang, the oldest, said: "Yes, because we are all of the same family, so the names are arranged according to the genealogy."

Jiayin asked curiously: "Then how is your family tree arranged?"

Fang Zhiyuan rushed to answer: "I know this. Our ranking is: Qingyun has ambitions, and heirs of virtue. That is to say, my great-grandfather is from the Qing generation, my grandfather is from the Yun generation, and my father has From the generation of Zhi, we will be from the generation of Zhi, and when I have a son, I will be from the generation of De.”

As soon as the words fell, there was laughter from everyone. Fang Zhiqiang smiled and said: "You have a son, hahaha, when will you have a son? Zhiyuan wants a son, hahaha..."

Zhiyuan's face was flushed by his smile, "I don't have it, I just use it as a metaphor, I'm explaining it to sister Jiayin!"

Jiayin thought it was fun, and laughed along with them. Zhiyuan looked at them helplessly, and finally couldn't help laughing along with them.

Then they played with stacking stones by the stream to see who could stack them higher.

Zhiyuan told Jiayin that stones are easy to stack high from big to small, but after listening to Jiayin, she immediately moved a stone that was bigger than her and put it at the bottom. It's all stopped...
