Chapter 295: Primitive Tribe Chieftain Mother-in-law 15
It’s a good thing that the tribe has four more people. Although I say I’m magnanimous, I actually don’t want these four people to leave at all. They are all labor force!
After comforting everyone, Yun Xi, exhausted both physically and mentally, went back to sleep. Shu and Lian had been sleeping for several hours and had not woken up yet. Hua ran to find her mother and did not wake up Lian.
Yun Xi lay in bed and slept soundly. The tribe had already cooked seafood soup.
Shu patiently taught the males in the tribe how to cook seafood. "Soaking dried seafood can remove some of the salt and dirt. You can choose to steam, boil, stir-fry, or deep-fry it. It tastes really good. And this kelp, the tribe leader said eating some can cure goiter, so you can eat more of it on a daily basis."
Shu was very skillful. He cooked a pot of Yaozhu kelp soup, steamed salted fish, stewed a large pot of vegetables with dried sea cucumbers and scallops, and finally sprinkled some purslane on it, which made the color, aroma and taste perfect.
"Wow!"
The five children of the tribe gathered around the pot and were reluctant to leave. Wolf took He and Hu to steam a large pot of yam. The four people of the Plain Tribe told everyone about yam. The Plain Tribe accidentally discovered that yam was particularly effective in satisfying hunger after the skin was removed. It happened that there were many yams on the mountains around the Yang Tribe.
Tao has already made a plan. After killing the wild boar, she will go dig yams.
Yun Xi was awakened by the hustle and bustle in the yard. The sky was gloomy today. The strong wind blew away the heat, but it didn't rain. This was Yun Xi's favorite weather, cool and with less ultraviolet rays.
"Mom, you're awake. Come and try the yam. Shan told me." Tao quickly brought a plate of steamed yam with soup and vegetables on the side.
Yun Xi washed her face, picked up some and tasted it. "It tastes good. I'll dig some more in the fall and store them in the cellar. They can be kept for a long time."
This kind of yam has no other disadvantages except that it is a bit astringent. It is also thick and is a very good food.
"Mom, do we have to wait until autumn to dig them up?" Tao was puzzled. "What if animals eat them all? Oh, Mom, do you know Chinese yams?"
"No, the tree is already being made into a shoulder pole, right? I need to take my people to the beach." Yun Xi discussed with her while eating.
"Go to the beach?" Tao understood. "Make those dry goods?"
"Yes, I'm also bringing back the salt. Wu told me that several tribes will have a gathering in the fall to exchange supplies, and I'm going to bring some salt." Yun Xi said, "Maybe we can get a lot of useful things in exchange."
Tao didn't object, "Who is Mom going to take to the beach?"
Yun Xi said without hesitation, "Take Xing and He, Ya and Wei, Xing, Guo, Lian, and Shanhehu, ten of us. Guo, Lian, and Shanhehu are new to the tribe, so I'm worried about them staying with me. I'll keep them by my side to observe them more."
"Mom is worried that they have thoughts that they shouldn't have?" Tao quickly figured it out.
The sky outside was getting darker, and the door was making a "bang bang bang" sound due to the wind. It seemed that heavy rain could fall at any time.
"Yes, you stay and take good care of your sister. I will try to come back before your sister gives birth and lead the tribe to make another batch of pottery. Put a water tank in each room and two in the kitchen. Also, make more pottery basins, bowls and plates." Yun Xi encouraged her, "Mother is away, your sister is pregnant, and Xing is still young. You are the only one who can help Mother."
Tao nodded heavily, "Mom, I'll remember this. I will take good care of the tribe."
Raindrops appeared on the window, and heavy rain suddenly fell, and the whole world darkened several degrees.
"Well, I feel at ease with you around."
Yun Xi looked outside. "It's raining. The mountain lives with you two sisters, but where are the rivers, lakes, and seas?"
Tao nodded, "Hai lives in Yuxue's room, and Hehu lives in the two male rooms."
"As long as it's enough to live in, that's fine." Yun Xi: "Let's not build a house this year."
It was raining heavily, but fortunately the house had an eaves. Yun Xi found some bricks and built a bathroom in her room. She used the glass flower as a shower head and the Yanyan tree underneath to boil water. It was very convenient. If it had no spiritual energy, it would have a service life of several decades. After seeing this, Tao strongly asked her mother to make one for her.
"Okay, I'll make one for your room." Yun Xi couldn't stand the little girl's coquettishness, so she spent half a day to make a shower room for herself and their room.
The next day, the rain was still falling. Yun Xi took an axe and some elm trunks and started making tables, chairs and benches. Her skills were limited, so after demonstrating once, she handed the axe to the meticulous Ya.
"You do it. Give each room a set. It's not a big deal to always eat on the floor."
No one is idle on rainy days. Ying and the females are still processing pork and cutting up wild boars. They marinate the meat and internal organs with wild ginger, spread salt on them, and then dry them. The dried meat tastes average. Now that they have free time, they need to find more seasonings.
The wolf lives in the kitchen, Yawei does carpentry, Shu has brought the fruit and Huhai are there to sew animal skins and linen clothes, and the little ones are playing around all the time.
The sewing tools used were the needle and thread provided by Yun Xi. Although an iron rod could be made into a needle, she couldn't even find iron ore, so where would the iron come from? Where would she find the fish bone needle? She had never caught any fish before, so where could she find a fish bone needle? Now she had sea fish bones, but they were useless.
Yun Xi inspected every room, confirmed that there were no bullies, confirmed the amount of food and firewood, and then went back to the house and entered the space to clean up.
Yu'er gave me special products from the world of immortal cultivation. Those that can be planted are planted, and those that cannot be planted are sorted and put away.
"Mom, there's some noise outside."
Tao was knocking on the door outside. Yun Xi came out of the space and opened the door. "What's the noise?"
Tao said anxiously, "Mom, look at the gate."
Yun Xi frowned, turned around and found a piece of animal skin to support her head, then followed Tao over and opened the door.
"Wu! What are you doing?"
Yun Xi was surprised that it was Wu who came in the rain and brought a lot of people with him.
"Shui, please help our tribe leader! She has injured her leg!"
Wu wiped his face and said anxiously.
Yun Xi welcomed the people into the house and squatted down to check the chief of the Yuncai tribe. His leg was broken, but fortunately it was a short and neat leg and not comminuted. After helping to clean the wound, she straightened the bone, disinfected it and bandaged it.
After a series of measures, the patriarch successfully woke up from the pain and then fainted again.
"Wu, tell me, what happened?"
Yun Xi asked seriously.
Wu said painfully, "It was the cannibals. I don't know what went wrong. They suddenly attacked our tribe. We fought and many people died. Although we won, the witch doctor also died. I don't know the situation of the surrounding tribes, so I had no choice but to come to your tribe for help."
"Cannibals?"
Yun Xi was shocked. There was such a tribe? The original owner didn't remember it.
"Yes, they are made up of wandering males. They don't like hunting and don't store food. But they crave meat, so I don't know when they started hunting and eating humans. In previous years, they mostly appeared in winter. At other times, there is more food in the mountains and forests than can be eaten, so they don't show up easily. I don't know what happened this time, it's like they have gone crazy."
