The Chronicles of Ancient Survival Through Time

Chapter 3 Bitter and Astringent
Seeing the jujube tree moving without wind, her eyes lit up, staring longingly at the jujubes one after another on the tree, secretly comparing which one was bigger and which was smaller, she hoped that the jujube tree could give her a big one, so that she could You can recover some more stamina.

Her neck was sore when she leaned back, a green date finally fell from the tree, she was overjoyed at first, but after she bent down to pick up the green date, she became disappointed again, because the date was only the size of a cobblestone , with her current appetite, she can barely wrap her stomach. This jujube tree is really stingy. The one given to her must be the smallest one, but it is better than nothing. She wiped it with her hands and bit it eagerly. One bite, the green dates are not delicious or even astringent, but after a long period of hunger, even this trace of astringency has become a delicacy in the world. Look at how simple life is...all forced.

After eating a green jujube, she touched her deflated stomach contentedly, rested against a tree for a while, and then walked down the hill. When she returned to the cave, the other seven people were still asleep. She regained some of her physical strength, dug out the stone knife under her body, and carried it out of the cave into the grass. She didn't know that not long after she left, a little boy suddenly opened his eyes, and he stared at her far away like a wolf. After a while, he struggled to get up.

Yun Duo found a piece of relatively soft soil and squatted down, digging the grass roots with the knife in her hand. When people are extremely hungry, they don’t have any requirements for food. She knows that tender grass roots can be eaten. It can satisfy her hunger, and the grass roots can indeed fill her up. Her plan at the beginning was to eat the dates first and then dig the grass roots, because she can only dig the grass roots when she regains some physical strength.The grass here is very tough and the roots are very deep and difficult to dig. It is a very labor-intensive job. This is the main reason why people in the tribe do not know that the grass roots can be eaten. Of course, they don’t have time like her on weekdays. Dig the grass roots, and when they don't go hunting on weekdays, they will lie in the cave after eating, so that their physical strength will not be consumed so quickly, and they will not be hungry so quickly, just like the other seven peers in the cave, in order to preserve their physical strength. Even when I wake up, I won't get up.

After digging for a while, she became out of breath. Her body is too weak. After she can fill her stomach, she will start exercising. Otherwise, in this world full of dangers, she will not even be able to protect herself a little bit. She didn't even have the ability, so she wiped the sweat off her face and sat down to save some energy. In this way, her bare butt came into close contact with the earth. She endured the discomfort and continued digging grass roots, and secretly told After she settles the food, she must solve the clothes problem as soon as possible. She doesn't want to be naked all day like others.She dug for half an hour, sweating profusely, her hands were numb, and then she dug out three grass roots. She put away the stone knife and looked at the harvest in her hand and smiled contentedly. Although there were only three plants, each grass root had its own fruit. The child's fist is so big, as long as he eats it today, he should not be hungry. Seeing that the grass roots are covered with soil, she shook and wiped and saw that there was very little soil, so she couldn't wait to eat it. The grass roots are mixed with soil The taste is not good and bitter, but she still forced herself to swallow it. Only when she is full can she have the strength to pursue a higher quality of life. In a state of extreme hunger, everything is negligible, although the taste of the grass roots may be better after washing , but something like that just happened in the morning, and now she has absolutely no courage to go to the stream, she secretly comforted herself to eat some dirt, it would be fine and it would not kill anyone, when she concentrated on eating grass roots, a little boy slowly approached her.
