Farming in Primitive Society

Chapter 3
After having lunch at Lie's house and making an appointment to go out together in the afternoon, Mu Xiaohua took her backpack and returned home with Can and Shi.

Take some time to rest and get ready to go out, the sun is very strong outside, Mu Xiaohua washed her face and put on sunscreen.

Because it is a summer vacation with a group to go to archaeology, sunscreen is a must.

Shi looked surprised, Mu Xiaohua finished painting herself, squeezed some more into the palm of her hand, and put a little on Shi's face, Shi was startled, and stared at Mu Xiaohua.

Mu Xiaohua smiled, and spread it on him, saying: "This is sunscreen, it won't be easy to be sunburned after applying it, does it smell good?"

Shiwei nodded in surprise and smiled shyly: "Sweet." The voice was soft and sweet.

After Mu Xiaohua painted his face and body, Shi twisted her body to hide, and refused in a soft voice: "No need, sister!"

"Why don't you use it?" Mu Xiaohua said while smearing: "Skin that is not covered by clothes must be smeared."

"No need, I need to paint a lot, my sister keeps it for herself."

Mu Xiaohua paused, feeling warm in her heart, she couldn't help hugging the cute little boy: "Shizhen is heartwarming."

After going out to pour water, Can saw this scene with a look of envy on his face, Shizhen was really happy, and it could be seen that Xiaohua liked him the most.

In the end, Mu Xiaohua applied sunscreen all over her body, and then asked Can if she wanted to apply it. Can repeatedly waved her hands and said, "We are all used to the sun, there is no need to apply it, you can keep it for yourself."

They all know that if these things are used a little less, they will be gone once they are used up.

What Chan said made sense, and Mu Xiaohua didn't insist on letting him paint it. The three of them were ready to go out and called Shang Yu and Lie, and the five of them started the journey of finding grass.

Coming down from the mountain where I live, a meandering path extends to the left and right of the river. The river is about five or six meters wide. The river is clear and does not look very deep. A group of children are playing happily in the river. It is strange to see Mu Xiaohua look at her.

"Hi!" Mu Xiaohua waved and greeted the children in a friendly manner, and the little ones were stunned for a while, smiling embarrassedly and diving into the water.

Mu Xiaohua couldn't help being funny, she looked around: "There are mountains all around, where are we going?"

"What kind of grass does Xiao Hua want?" Yu asked.

Mu Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "It should be longer, softer and tougher."

"I know there is a kind of grass that meets your requirements." Mu Xiaohua said positively as soon as she finished speaking.

"Oh? Where is it?" Mu Xiaohua's eyes lit up, as long as she had a goal.

"Going straight to the woods on the opposite side, there is a lake. A lot of grass grows beside the lake, which is long, soft and tough."

"Oh yes." Can nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I remembered, the grass by the lake is indeed like that."

"That's good." Mu Xiaohua clapped her hands: "Let's go!"

A group of people walked towards the bridge leading to the opposite side. It was a single-plank bridge. Standing in front of the bridge, Mu Xiaohua couldn't help sighing: "This single-plank bridge is really a single-plank bridge. How can you walk if it is round? Why don't you flatten the upper side?" ?”

"It's easy to walk." Lie jumped onto the bridge and walked back and forth with ease.

Mu Xiaohua looked at their bare feet and then at the shoes she was wearing. These kind of hiking shoes with hard soles seemed difficult to ride on such a round single-plank bridge.

Mu Xiaohua tried to stand on the bridge, motherfucker!I can't stand still at all, let alone go.

Crossing a bridge has become difficult, dare you think?Mu Xiaohua was very speechless.

"We'll lead you there," Chan suggested.

"Okay!" Mu Xiaohua nodded, and You Lie and Can walked across the bridge slowly, not walking but moving. Lie wanted to speed up several times but was pulled by Mu Xiaohua. People almost fell into the river because of Mu Xiaohua who lost his balance, but it felt like walking five or six meters out of a bridge of five or six meters.

After getting off the bridge, Mu Xiaohua let out a sigh of relief, looked back at the single-plank bridge that made her feel lingering fear, and said worriedly: "It's fine now, but it's raining, isn't it very slippery? How can I get across this bridge?"

Mu Xiaohua had just raised such a question about how to cross this chubby single-plank bridge when it rained, and she had a good experience when she came back.

After crossing the bridge is a large field, the field is lush green, according to Can's introduction, this is millet.

"Everyone's fields are here, we are that one, and Lie and the others are next to it." Can pointed to the two small fields on the far right.

"It's all here?" Mu Xiaohua was surprised. The fields here are divided into many pieces of different sizes, but the overall area is not very large. There are [-] people in the Chashan tribe. If all the fields are here, then The area of ​​this field is too small.

"Is this field distributed equally among people?" Mu Xiaohua asked.

"Yeah." Chan nodded.

"You grow your own fields, and the harvest is all yours?"

"I grow it in my own field, and I have to hand over a jar of the harvest to my mother."

Mom!Mu Xiaohua nodded slowly, that's the old lady who wanted to burn her!Just thinking about it makes me angry.

"Lao Mu" is the highest leader in the tribe, the most prestigious and authoritative existence in the tribe. The highest leaders of the Chashan tribe have always been women, collectively referred to as Lao Mu.

Of course, the title of the highest leader of the tribe is also different. Among the ten tribes near the Moya Forest, except for the remaining nine of the Chashan tribe, some exist in the form of clans, and the highest leaders are called patriarchs. The supreme leader is called the chief.

Because it was noon and no one was working in the field, the five of them walked through the field into a forest and kept walking. The trees grew taller and denser as they went in, but the thorns became less and less. Under the trees grew grass, wild flowers and unknown The ivy, the ivy wraps around the trunk and grows up, a vibrant scene, the sun shines through the leaves and casts mottled light spots, which is picturesque.

Because there were too many people walking, a small path came out of the forest. The five chatted while walking, and Mu Xiaohua was still admiring the rare beauty. She had gone to the mountains for archaeology more than once, but those mountains and forests were not worth seeing. .

After walking for more than two hours, they came to the lake that Lie said, and saw the green grass by the lake from a distance, Mu Xiaohua was pleasantly surprised: "Isn't this cattail grass?"

The two most commonly used materials for weaving straw sandals are dry straw and cattail grass. There is no dry straw here but there are so many rush grass and small flowers. She is very happy, and she is even more happy when she finds what she needs.

"Is this really what you're looking for?" Lie asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Mu Xiaohua nodded with a smile, and walked over quickly.

After finding the raw materials, Mu Xiaohua put down more than half of it.

Lie, Chan, and Yu started mowing the grass with knives polished from stones.

These are the stone tools of the primitive society, Mu Xiaohua sighed, and they are of great archaeological value, but after thinking about it, what is the significance to her who was born in the primitive society now?

"Hey!" Mu Xiaohua sighed and shook her head. After watching for a while, she began to walk around the lake. She saw a lot of fish in the lake, all of which were fat. She couldn't help being excited when she imagined that all these fish would become grilled fish, "Brother Let's eat fish tonight!"

The three people who were mowing the grass looked at each other, and Yu said: "The fish in this lake are very difficult to catch, and the water is very deep. A few years ago, several people went down to catch fish and were drowned. My mother ordered no one to go into this lake." catch fish."

Hearing that people were drowned in this lake, Mu Xiaohua couldn't help but shudder, but for foodies, eating is absolutely unavoidable, "We don't need to go down to catch, we just use fishing!"

"Fishing? How to fish?" The three looked surprised.

Don't even know how to fish?Alright, Mu Xiaohua said: "I have to go back and prepare well, the grass is almost done." She looked around and asked, "Where is the world?"

"what!"

Just as Mu Xiaohua finished asking, Shi's exclamation came from the grass in front of the lake.
