Farming in Primitive Society

Chapter 4 The egg fell into the lake
Hearing Shi's exclamation, everyone was so frightened that their hearts "thumped" and ran over quickly.

Mu Xiaohua was the first to run because of the short distance, and Shi was sitting on the bank panting quickly with lingering fear on his face.

"What's the matter?" Mu Xiaohua quickly rushed to his side and helped him up.

"Shi, are you okay?" Can rushed over and pulled Shi Fei to look up, down, left, and right, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Because of his urgency, Can's tone was a bit aggressive, Shi trembled in fright and looked at him timidly.

"Don't be so loud, you're scaring Shi." Yu patted Can's arm, looked at Shi and said softly, "Don't be afraid! Tell brother what happened?"

Shi timidly glanced at Yu, then at Can and lowered his head, without speaking.

Mu Xiaohua patted Shi Shi reassuringly, and asked gently: "Are you all right? Tell my sister what happened just now."

Shi timidly glanced at Mu Xiaohua, hesitated, bit his lips, shook his head and said in a soft voice: "I'm fine." Then he looked at Can timidly, lowered his head and muttered: "I saw wild duck eggs in the grass. I took it to my sister, it was a little far away, my foot slipped, and the egg fell into the lake."

Mu Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, moved and distressed, and hugged Shi who was about to cry, "I know your heart, thank you, but you must not take risks for your sister in the future, everyone will worry."

Shi sniffed and nodded obediently, Mu Xiaohua let go of him and rubbed his head dotingly, and asked easily: "Where is the wild duck egg nest?"

"There!" Shi pointed out, only to see a nest in the grass about one meter away from the shore, with eight wild duck eggs in it.

"Okay!" Mu Xiaohua rolled up her sleeves, "Now let's change my sister to Shina."

Shi busy grabbed Mu Xiaohua's hand and shook his head anxiously: "Sister can't take it, it's too far away."

"It's okay, just watch me." Mu Xiaohua was full of confidence, "Chan, hold me."

The three of Yu who originally wanted to stop Mu Xiaohua didn't say anything after hearing what she said.

Mu Xiaohua and Can cooperated to take five wild duck eggs and clapped their hands with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go back!"

"Don't you take it?" Lie looked at the three duck eggs left in the nest and asked, "Why don't you finish it?"

"I won't take it anymore." Mu Xiaohua shook her head and explained, "There is a saying that if you don't finish taking the eggs, you can still take them next time, which means that you can't take all the eggs from ducks and chickens at once, and you can still take them in the same place next time. If you get the eggs, they will lay eggs in the same place if you don’t finish taking them, otherwise they will lay eggs in another place.”

"Is that so?" Everyone looked taught.

"No wonder I found a pheasant nest with eggs on the mountain before. After I took it away, I thought there would be another egg next time. I wanted to get it, but there were no eggs."

"Really?" Mu Xiaohua smiled smugly, "So, in the future, when you encounter egg nests like pheasants and ducks, you must not take all the eggs, at least one must be kept."

A group of people found the grass they needed and accidentally harvested wild duck eggs, and went home happily. However, because the meat at home had spoiled, the two brothers Can and Yu decided to go hunting in the mountains for dinner. Mu Xiaohua and Lie Yushi went back first. Home.

"Be careful when hunting! Only you two don't go too deep in the mountains." Mu Xiaohua instructed, the forests of the primitive society are different from the modern ones, there are all kinds of beasts in them, and because of frequent hunting, the prey hide in the deeper forests, and the tribes There are not many prey in the nearby forest, and a dozen or so people go into the deep forest together for general tribal hunting.

"Yes, I see." Yu nodded.

Can smiled and said, "Wait until we return with a full load!"

"Okay! Come on!" Mu Xiaohua raised her arms and clenched her fists.

"What do you mean to come on?" Everyone looked at Mu Xiaohua in surprise.

"..." Mu Xiaohua paused and explained, "Come on, it means to encourage the other party."

"Oh~" Everyone looked taught again.

The two sides separated, one group went into the mountain and the other went home.

It is said that the face of a baby in June changes as soon as it is said. The sun is shining brightly one moment, and it is pouring rain the next moment. Mu Xiaohua had a good experience when she first arrived in the new world.

About a third of the way back, the blue sky that was originally dotted with white clouds was quickly encroached by dark clouds, and soon bean-sized raindrops fell, falling faster and more densely.

The flat woods on both sides of the path had nowhere to hide from the rain, so Mu Xiaohua and the others could only brave the rain while hoping that the rain would stop soon.

But as if against them, Xia Yu came and went quickly, but this time it was still raining until Mu Xiaohua and the others reached the single-plank bridge, but it was a little less rainy.

Mu Xiaohua looked at the smooth single-plank bridge and caressed her forehead, and couldn't help but think of the question she asked when it rained, how can I live!
"Xiaohua, come, I'll lead you there." Lie stretched out his hand towards Mu Xiaohua.

Mu Xiaohua shook her head, "No, no, you and Can nearly fell into the river when we came here, not to mention it's raining and slippery now, so I'm sure you'll be dragged into the river if you hold me."

"Then what should we do? You can't survive alone!" Lie looked distressed.

"I'm holding my sister too." Shi suggested.

"No." Mu Xiaohua shook her head, suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, and said, "Go over by yourself first, and I will go by myself."

"How's it going?" Lie Yushi looked at her suspiciously.

Mu Xiaohua coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry about it, you guys hurry over there, be careful not to slip."

Ke Lie followed Shi just looked at her and didn't move, Mu Xiaohua urged, "Hurry up! Why are you standing there, don't waste time and hurry up."

Lie Heshi then turned around and walked on the single-plank bridge, watching them walking halfway carefully but steadily, Mu Xiaohua finally got on the single-plank bridge, but instead of stepping on it, she sat on it with her butt.

Sitting like this, Mu Xiaohua walked forward slowly with her hands supported. Although her posture was not very good-looking, at least she could cross the river safely. She couldn't help but praise her wit.

Lie Heshi walked down the single-plank bridge and looked back to see Mu Xiaohua's way of crossing the bridge. They were shocked, so they learned another trick today.What a day full of harvest!

When the three returned home, Mu Xiaohua decided to take a bath because her clothes were sticking to her body in the rain. Unfortunately, there was no bucket or tub. After asking, she found out that people here always take a bath in the river.

"Don't you boil the water?" Mu Xiaohua asked in amazement, women can't touch cold water for a few days!

"You still need to boil water for bathing? What do you use to boil it?" Lie asked even more surprised.

Mu Xiaohua stroked her forehead, "Then what do you do in winter?"

"I wash in the river in winter too!" Lie Yiran replied as a matter of course.

"It's cold, what should I do?"

"If you're afraid of the cold, don't wash it!"

Mu Xiaohua is in Sparta, but it is still far away from winter, let's talk about that later, the most important thing at the moment is how she will take a bath, is it possible to go to the river?It's sunny and sunny, and it's still raining outside.

As a result, Mu Xiaohua couldn't take a bath, so she could only wipe her body with water from a basin, and changed all her wet clothes and trousers. Fortunately, this time she went to archeology and lived on the mountain for two nights, and it was hot. In summer, Mu Xiaohua brought a change of clothes.

But there are no extra shoes, Mu Xiaohua has to take off the wet shoes and go barefoot.

"It's really important to make straw sandals as soon as possible!" Mu Xiaohua, who packed herself up and washed her clothes, sat cross-legged on the bed and sighed while holding straw to study how to weave the soles.

The most important thing about straw sandals is to weave the sole. After weaving the sole, tie a few straw ropes to fix it.

The memory of how to make straw sandals is already blurred, Mu Xiaohua has been studying with her head down, and finally she can't remember the weaving method she has seen and decided to create it herself, let alone the effect is not bad.

In fact, her weaving is very simple, that is, weaving grass up and down, until it reaches a suitable size and length, and then going back to weave two layers, so that the sole of the shoe is thick enough. Although the appearance is not very beautiful, after all, a straw sandal can Out.

The first shoe, Mu Xiaohua made it according to the size of her own feet. After making it and trying it out, not to mention it was pretty good. With the success of the previous one, Mu Xiaohua was very excited, and immediately started making the second one while it was hot. Xu Shi was too excited, and the joy turned into sadness. When she pulled the grass over, she accidentally cut her hand by the hard edge of the grass. The wound was not deep but left a lot of blood.

Mu Xiaohua immediately rummaged through her backpack to find disinfectant and band-aids. These basic medical supplies were necessary for them to go deep into the mountains for archaeology. She rummaged through the bag carefully and didn't notice that the blood flowed to the ring of her right ring finger. A red light flashed very quickly.
