Chapter 493 Beastman Continent (5)
The clan chief and the high priest arrived in a hurry and left in a sorry state.
"Father! Father!"
"I'm not afraid anymore."
From that day on, Chizuru and his two sons suddenly became much more popular in the tribe, but the three of them remained the same as before.
"Father, brother, I think this might be edible," Wangyou said after examining a piece of dry wood for a long time.
"Little sister, you can't eat it, it's all dry."
"Father, fetch me a basin of water."
"Okay." Qianhe smiled and brought over a basin of water. Wangyou looked at it for a long time, then took a stone knife, cut off a piece, and threw it into the water.
In no time, the piece of dry wood swelled several times its original size and became much softer to the touch. When Wangyou tore off a piece, she found that it was no longer as dry inside and instead looked rather runny.
"Father, make me something like this." Wangyou drew a large picture of a bamboo sieve.
Chizuru is also very handy, and she finished it in no time.
"Brother, please boil a pot of water for me."
"Okay." Chiki was happy to hear that his sister finally needed his help, so he went to boil water.
Once the water boiled, Wangyou placed a large sieve on the stone pot and scooped out the lumps from the water, then placed them on the sieve.
As the steam rose, the sparse bumps on it gradually hardened. Finally, Wangyou reached out and poked it, creating a deep pit, accompanied by a sweet aroma.
Wangyou quickly grabbed a piece, took a bite, and exclaimed, "Father, brother, it's delicious, it's sweet!"
"Really!" The two of them, not believing it, tore off a piece, and it was indeed sweet.
"good to eat."
Then, the father and his two sons each ate a piece of the lump. After they finished eating, they were still not satisfied, so Qianhe fetched water and Qianmu boiled water, and they soaked a lot more.
"I never thought that dried wood could be eaten, and it tastes so good. Although it's not as filling as meat, it's very good for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe. And this way, fewer people will die in winter." Although she felt a little disheartened by the behavior of the tribe, Chizuru would subconsciously think of the tribe when she encountered food.
"If Father wants to tell them, then go ahead and tell them!" They still need to stay in the tribe, so it's only right that they give the tribe some benefits.
Chizuru nodded, took a piece of dry wood, and went to find the clan chief.
Wangyou and Qianmu then broke off the pine nuts they had collected over the past few days and roasted them in the fire from time to time.
The brother and sister peeled and roasted as they went, and in the end, they didn't keep much, but they ate quite a lot.
When Chizuru returned, she saw the brother and sister lying on the ground, holding their stomachs and resting.
"Father, eat!"
"What is this?"
"Pine nuts are so delicious."
Chizuru ate one; although it was small, it was a good snack.
"You two stay home obediently. The tribe will be going out hunting again in a few days. Your father will prepare enough food for you before he leaves."
"Father, please be careful!"
"Father will!" Although Chizuru is very strong now, he still knows the principle that there are always people stronger than him and there is always something beyond his reach. He is not arrogant enough to think that he is the strongest.
A few days before the hunt, Chizuru often went out hunting and caught a lot of game to store for the two children. Wangyou and Qianmu thought about making the meat into jerky, and Chizuru packed a bag for him before she left.
After the hunting party set off again, the brother and sister continued to hoard food like squirrels.
“Forget-Me-Not, Thousand Trees, etc.”
"What's wrong?" the brother and sister asked in unison as they saw several children from different tribes running over.
"The chieftain told us to take good care of you. Do you want to go out and find food? Come with us."
What are your names?
"Snow White".
"Damu."
"rock."
"Tiger's might".
……
A group of children introduced themselves one by one, and the brother and sister were finally able to recognize everyone.
But only the two of them know how much they actually remembered.
"We're going to find food, so we won't be coming with you." After recognizing them, the two refused.
"Then we'll go with you. The chieftain said you two can't get into any trouble."
"Follow me if you want!" These two were picking pine nuts recently, and they ignored everyone else, running ahead at breakneck speed.
The other children didn't understand what the two were doing, but seeing them picking things up, they followed suit, thinking it might come in handy.
After collecting pine nuts all morning, the two decided to go to the orchard to exchange the roasted pine nuts with the monkeys for some fruit.
When the other cubs saw the two leave, they followed. By the time they realized what was happening, they had already reached the orchard.
"Little monkey!"
A golden monkey ran over and squeaked at Wangyou.
"I brought something delicious today, come and try it." Wangyou took out a handful of roasted pine nuts and taught the little monkey how to eat them.
The little monkey imitated Wangyou's eating habits, removing the outer shell and finding the inside crispy and fragrant. The little monkey immediately fell in love with it.
Then it made a series of squeaking noises towards the rear, and the monkey troop made way for it.
“We’re going to pick fruit. If you want to pick it, just stay on the outside. Otherwise, if you get beaten to death, it has nothing to do with me and my brother.”
After Wangyou finished speaking, she pulled Qianmu deeper into the orchard, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the orchard.
Seeing this, some of the other cubs wanted to follow, but they were too scared to move by the menacing troop of monkeys. They could only tentatively pick the nearest fruit. Seeing that the monkeys didn't move, they became much bolder.
Some of the older children started climbing the tree. Of course, they wanted to go back and call the adults, but when they turned around, they found that the adults had disappeared and had no idea how to get back.
Wangyou always felt that the fruits on the inner edge were tastier than those on the outer edge, and that they made her feel especially comfortable after eating them, so she planned to pick the best ones to eat and leave the worst ones uneaten.
Therefore, Wangyou picked a lot at once and felt a little embarrassed, so she searched for a set of stick techniques in her inherited memories, which was just right for the monkey, and passed it on to the golden little monkey.
The old monkey immediately noticed, pulled Wangyou aside to thank her, and even picked a lot of fruit to give her as a gift.
"thank you all!"
Forget-Me-Not welcomes all who come; it accepts as many as there are.
There is conflict among orcs, and naturally there is conflict among animals as well.
The staff technique that Wangyou taught the monkey was a great help, something that no amount of fruit could replace.
Fortunately, the space of forgetfulness can preserve freshness; otherwise, with so much food, they would have been eating it for ages.
Finally, carrying two buckets of monkey wine, the two left.
The other cubs were each carrying two baskets, indicating they had picked quite a lot. However, there were still many on the tree, and the cubs were clearly not tall enough or good enough at climbing trees. Nevertheless, they had picked quite a bit.
A group of cubs struggled to carry baskets full of fruit on their backs, following behind the brother and sister; otherwise, they wouldn't know the way back.
Wangyou and Qianmu didn't intend to abandon them, but they simply slowed down their pace and ignored everything else.
