Farming in Primitive Society

Chapter 8 Magical Thoughts
Mu Xiaohua came out of the forest as if being chased by a ferocious beast. Can, who had just returned from fetching water, looked at her flushed face and asked in confusion, "Xiaohua, what's wrong?"

Mu Xiaohua looked back subconsciously, and was relieved to see that Yu didn't follow. The shock early in the morning was too great, okay?The urge to urinate is gone.

"It's okay." Mu Xiaohua waved her hand, went to the washbasin and splashed water on her face with her hands, she needs cold water to calm down now.

"Little flower!"

Mu Xiaohua buried her face in her hands, and when she heard Lie's enthusiastic and joyful calling, she turned her head, and was about to say hello, when she saw Yu who was behind Lie stunned, looked at Yu, and stiffly shifted her gaze to Lie's face, Smiling and waving: "Lie! Good morning!" Then he looked at Yu Lueqian and smiled: "Good morning Yu!"

For some reason, her eyes glanced down at Yu. The impact was a bit big. Mu Xiaohua hurriedly straightened her eyes, and secretly spurned herself. , why is this?

Yu noticed Mu Xiaohua's gaze and smiled shyly, "Good morning!"

Chan looked at Mu Xiaohua and then at Yu, always feeling that the atmosphere between the two of them this morning seemed a bit strange.

After Mu Xiaohua washed up, she went to make breakfast. Lie and Yu brought some millet up. Mu Xiaohua cooked millet and chicken porridge, and fried the duck eggs she picked up yesterday. It was difficult to fry in clay pots. Miss the modern day frying pan and especially wish I had a pan.

For breakfast, Mu Xiaohua could eat a small bowl of porridge and a fried egg, but it was obviously not enough for the other four, so Mu Xiaohua roasted all the leftover meat from yesterday.

For primitive people who regard barbecue as their staple food, it is normal to eat barbecue early in the morning.

After eating the roast chicken, it was almost eaten, and there was a whole roast rabbit left. Mu Xiaohua kept some others, cut them up and packed them, and brought them into the mountains for lunch.

Today, Can, Lie, and Yu are going to hunt in the mountains with the tribesmen, and they have to leave in a while and come back in the evening.

"Be careful when hunting in the mountains." Mu Xiaohua ordered while packing the big leaves picked by Can.

But the cave was quiet, no one responded to her, Mu Xiaohua turned her head strangely, only to see the three of them staring at her, Mu Xiaohua wondered: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" To the world on her other side.

Shi shook his head, "No."

Mu Xiaohua turned her head to look at the three of them again, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Can grinned, "Xiao Hua, you really look like our daughter-in-law."

"Yes, yes!" Lie strongly agreed, smiling happily, "Let's go hunting, and my wife will prepare for us."

Mu Xiaohua twitched her eyebrows and feet subconsciously, and subconsciously looked at Yu, who had his signature shy smile on Yu's face, and seemed to agree with the two of them.

"Don't think about it, you can think of me as a sister or a younger sister who helps your brother and brother prepare." Mu Xiaohua retracted her eyes and tied Ye Bao seriously.

Last night, I learned that Chan and Yeol are both 20 years old, Chan is two months older than Yeol, Yu is 24 years old, Se is only 11 years old, and everyone except Yu is younger than she expected.

"I don't want you to be my sister." Lie immediately protested.

"You don't want me to be your wife." Mu Xiaohua gave him a sideways look.

"Why?" Lie Jue asked with displeasure.

"Husband and wife need a foundation of relationship." Mu Xiaohua stuffed the packaged meat into his arms, "Do you want to love each other?"

"In love?"

Lie, including the other three, all looked confused.

"What is falling in love?" Can looked at Mu Xiaohua in a daze.

Mu Xiaohua twitched the corner of her mouth, she doesn't know anything about being in love?Do you have to be so innocent?
"I ask you, why do you want a daughter-in-law?"

"Have a baby!"

Lie and Can replied at the same time, their tone was natural.

She knew that Mu Xiaohua's daughter-in-law was a child-bearing tool in their hearts, and in a tribe with the most serious population problem, a daughter-in-law was simply the most important and indispensable tool for childbearing.

Mu Xiaohua asked unwillingly: "Besides having children, what else do you want to do after marrying a wife?"

The four of them looked at each other in blank dismay. Procreating offspring to increase the population of the tribe is the most important thing. My mother said so, and their parents told them so. They only know that marrying a wife is to have children. What else can a wife do?

"Sew animal skins for us." After thinking for a while, he said fiercely.

"Prepare food for us to enter the mountain like you are doing now." Can also said.

It's really a broken pattern!It's so simple, Mu Xiaohua sighed speechlessly, and looked at Yu's face with the last glimmer of hope. Yu hesitated for a long time, and shook his head. He really didn't know why he wanted a wife other than having children.

Mu Xiaohua shook her head in disappointment. Maybe their ideas are right for this society, but for Mu Xiaohua, she absolutely disagrees with their ideas. How can a daughter-in-law be just a tool for giving birth?absurd!
"When you want a daughter-in-law, the reason is not only to have children, but also to understand what love is."

The four looked at each other again, with confusion, and nodded thoughtfully.

Ready, the hunting trio took their tools and set off to join the tribe's team into the mountains, and Mu Xiaohua, who stayed at home, also started to get busy.

The sun slowly rose from the other side of the mountain, and it was another sunny day. Mu Xiaohua took out the cattail grass that was cut yesterday to dry, and Shi helped.

"Sister, why does this grass need to be dried?"

"It's better to weave straw sandals after it's dried in the sun."

In addition to weaving straw sandals, cattail grass can also weave baskets, futons and many beautiful handicrafts. Fresh cattail grass can be weaved, but it is usually made of dried cattail grass, which is more flexible and easy to use.

As soon as the two finished laying the grass, the two women came to ask the old mother on the order of the old mother, and promised to do what to do to protect the feet.

Mu Xiaohua pointed to her feet, "This is my method."

The two women looked at Mu Xiaohua's feet, looked at each other in confusion, and asked, "What's on your feet?"

"Straw sandals." Mu Xiaohua replied and walked around in place, "With the protection of straw sandals, you won't be afraid of stones when you step on the ground, and your feet won't be hurt so easily. The one on my foot is just a simple version. You can also weave a layer on the sides and instep of the foot, so that not only the sole of the foot but also the side and instep of the foot can be protected.”

"So miraculous?" The two women looked at each other again, "Then how did you do it?"

"This is very simple." Mu Xiaohua pointed to the cattail grass drying in the sun, "It is made of this grass." Mu Xiaohua took off the straw sandals on her feet and handed them to them, "Take this back and show it to my mother, if you think it's okay , I’ll teach you how to weave it.”

The two women went back to their missions. Mu Xiaohua went back to the cave to weave straw sandals for Shi. If he said he could be Mu Xiaohua, he just let him go.

The two were busy separately, and the two women came back soon, and Lao Mu of Chashan came with them.
