Chapter 40 Figs

The time to change the salt in the clan is coming soon. At that time, half of the males in the clan will go out to change the salt. There are very few males left to hunt. It takes more than [-] days to change the salt back and forth. In order to ensure that the old and young females in the clan With enough prey, Xiaosong has already started to take the males in the clan to stockpile food.

Now that the clan agreed that Xuan Jiu would stay, then Xuan Jiu could work around Roman's house openly and aboveboard.

After eating the sweet potato soup early in the morning, Luo Qing went hunting with Xiaosong and the others.

Luo Man greeted Xuan Jiu to finish his breakfast, and smashed the ferns to change Xuan Jiu's medicine.

However, in just seven or eight days, most of the wounds on Xuan Jiu's body have healed. The light pink flesh is in stark contrast to the surrounding old skin. The scabs on the edges of the three or four deep wounds under the ribs have already It began to fall off slowly, and the color began to become lighter... Roman estimated that according to Xuan Jiu's recovery speed, it would take another seventy or eighty days, and it would be almost the same.

After changing Xuan Jiu's medicine, Roman said, "Today you are at home by yourself, and you have to go up the mountain to find food."

"En." Xuan Jiu responded.

Roman has already started to get used to Xuan Jiu's indifferent big ice...Will you die if you say one more word...'

Luo Man asked Mu Ling to go up the mountain together, and met Xue Er and Xiao Tian just half way up the mountain.

"Sister Roman!" Xueer shouted when she saw Roman's back from a distance.

When Roman saw that it was Xueer and Xiaotian, he smiled and waved: "I have been busy taking care of the patients these days, and I haven't gone up the mountain to pick them much. I didn't expect to meet you."

"Well, Sister, Xue'er hasn't seen you for several days. After seeing You Yu that time, my brother kept praising you when I got home. I told her before that you were very good, but she still didn't believe it, haha." Xueer ran over bouncing and took Roman's arm.

"Since we met, let's go and find food together." Oda invited Roman and Wood Spirit to set off together.

"Okay, okay, sister, let's go together." Xue'er said crisply.

"Okay, wood spirit, let's go, let's go together." Roman said.

The four walked forward together.

"Sister, I know that there are a few trees in front that bear that kind of very sweet fruit. They were tight at first, and then they burst into flowers. When you peel off the skin, the flesh inside is very sweet." Xue'er said I shared what I knew: "When I went to check a few days ago, I found that it was still hard and the taste was not very good. Let's go and have a look today. Maybe it is already cooked and can be eaten. But there is one thing that is not good. , this kind of fruit can't be kept, after picking it, it will be eaten in two or three days, or it will be limp and broken if you don't play with it..."

"Well, this kind of fruit is not like wild persimmon, it can be stored." Oda added.

"Come on, let's go and have a look." Roman was very happy to see Xueer and Xiaotian willing to share food with them.

It stands to reason that females go out to find food by themselves, especially when winter is about to enter, and everyone starts hoarding food in batches, and whoever finds it first will get it. In this case, if they find food, they will not share it, but snow Er and Oda are willing to share with her, explaining that they regard her as one of their own.

Xue'er led the way, turned around, and finally arrived at the two fruit trees.

Xue'er went up first, picked a small burst of fruit, peeled off the skin and tasted it, nodded happily, and said crisply: "Haha, it's only been a few days, the fruit is already ripe, sweet, you guys Try it too."

Oda is tall, and Roman visually estimates that she is nearly 1 meters tall.Xiaotian picked a fruit on the top, tasted it, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, sweet, and the taste is not bad."

Roman looked at the fruit in front of him, and then carefully identified the leaves. This should be a fig... The leaves are a little different from the modern leaves, and the shape of the fruit is not quite the same, but the taste is not bad.

Roman smiled and said, "Xue'er is so smart, you have found such a remote place. This kind of fruit seems to be called figs. I heard Dad say it before..."

"Hahaha, I also picked wild fruits that day and walked all the way to play, but I got lost and found this tree... If we had taken the usual way, the fruit on this tree would have disappeared long ago."

"Five flowers...fruit? The name sounds nice." Mu Ling picked one and put it in his mouth as he spoke.

so sweet.

The four picked up their animal skin bags and began to pick figs. After the others were picked, they cooperated with each other and knocked down the figs with wooden sticks.

In a short time, everyone's animal skin bag contained a lot of figs.

Some figs are already soft, and some are not yet soft at the beginning of ripening.

Xiaotian was afraid that the figs would be crushed, and he would not have enough food when he returned home, so he said, "Why don't we go back first? If we go up the mountain, these figs will probably be crushed and crushed."

As Xiaotian spoke, he raised the animal skin bag in his hand.

Roman felt that what Oda said made sense, yes, if he carried the animal skin bag on his back and went up the mountain again, the figs would definitely be crushed.How can we prevent the figs from being crushed?

Roman bit his lips, and when he saw the cattails on the edge of the swamp not far away, he patted his head and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiaotian, you don't need to rush back. I have a solution."

After Roman finished speaking, he trotted over, carefully identified the cattail grass, and called them to help Roman cut the cattail grass with a bone knife.

"Sister, why are you mowing these grasses?" Xueer asked puzzled.

"This kind of grass is called cattail grass, and it can be used to weave grass frames. With a grass frame, you don't have to worry about the fruit being broken." Roman said, mowing the grass non-stop.

After a while, Roman saw that everyone was almost finished cutting, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's go, I will teach you how to weave straw frames."

Roman led everyone to the flat ground, and used a bone knife to separate the leaves of the cattail grass from the radial part, then cut the leaves from the middle, and divided them into two for later use.

After Roman took everyone to make preparations, he drew a circle on the ground and inserted sixteen cattail grass paths along the circle.

Xue'er, Xiaotian and Mu Ling followed Roman's example, drawing circles and inserting grass paths.

"Sister Tian, ​​your circle is not round enough, and the woven grass frame is not stable like this. Let me help you draw one first, and you can practice slowly later." Roman or helped Oda draw a circle.

After Roman saw that everyone had inserted the grass path, he took the cattail grass leaves and began to wrap them around the inserted path one by one.Roman taught everyone while doing it. After teaching several times in a row, everyone gradually became proficient in their techniques.

After a while, a straw-framed tube was woven, and Roman pulled the straw-framed tube out of the ground.

"Sister, the top and bottom are connected like this, there is only one barrel-shaped thing, how do you store wild fruits?" Mu Ling asked with the cattail straw tube in his hand.
