So Chen Chao has nothing to do with the mushroom tribe for the time being.
After confirming that nothing was left behind and everything that should be brought was packed, the team led by Qu and Li Nong set off.
Before departure, Chen Chao also explained the things he would bring back later, such as animal skin quilts and clothes. In addition, he also handed over two wooden boards to Qu and Li Nong, asking him to hand them over to the leader Yuan at that time, and emphasized that they must not be lost on the road.
The little follower of the Brown Witch also went with them. His main task was to go back to the Brown Tribe to pick out people and bring back the production technology of the coir raincoat. Then the people of the Brown Tribe can start to prepare for the production of the first batch of coir raincoats.
Just before Qu, Li Nong and others come back, they can produce a batch of coir raincoats to see the effect, and if there are any parts that do not meet the quality, whether they need to be reworked and so on.
As for the brown witch, he must stay here to continue studying. Of course, studying is one aspect, and being a hostage is another aspect.
The reason why Chen Chao and the others still stayed here was to wait for Qu and the others to return, instead of continuing to move forward.
It's not that there are no conditions to advance now, but that these two tribes must be guarded against. Just in case they were motivated by money, as soon as their own group left, they snatched all the people back.
Of course, this is not impossible, so to be on the safe side, Chen Chao chose to stay here and watch these two time bombs (sensitive words) that could explode at any time.
After sending away the squad taken away by Qu and Li Nong, apart from a few people on Chen Chao's side to guard the goods on the wheelbarrow, the others stopped in the mountains to hunt for food while taking advantage of the snow.
In addition, he also gave the Brown Witch a suggestion. Later, you can invite people from the Mushroom Tribe to make coir raincoats together. Anyway, you two tribes have nothing to do in winter. As for the distribution of remuneration, these things are up to them to negotiate, and Super Chen can't control it.
Qu and Li Nong led 39 people across the snow, over the mountains, through the forest, and across the plains. Finally, on the night of the third day, they came to the cave where they rested for the first time. There was still a lot of food left in the rattan basket.
Many people also have some prey in their hands. It seems that in addition to a full meal tonight, they don't even need to hunt tomorrow, and they can also rely on these food to eat another two meals.
And tomorrow, I will be able to return to the tribe...
Both Qu and Li Nong were thinking silently in their hearts, while helping others prepare today's dinner, they checked whether the bonfire was lit. After checking the bonfire, Qu went to check whether the collected wood in the cave was enough to burn through tonight.
If it's not enough, you have to collect more as soon as it's still dark.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the bonfire and the collected wood, they urged the others to take off their shoes and get close to the fire to roast. Li Nong has a deep feeling for frostbite, after all, his two severed fingers originated from this.
After the hot water is boiled, I take turns to drink a large bowl every day, and then cook the soup. In the cold winter, a bowl of warm soup is really more comfortable than eating a few mouthfuls of chewy barbecue.
After the hot water was ready, the two of them took turns to look at the boys/girls and women. The men don't have to worry too much. They have the best and most frost-resistant equipment in the entire team. After all, food and defense depend on them.
As for the equipment on the other people, most of them only have a piece of animal skin and Mawozi straw sandals, and some weaker ones will wear an extra coir raincoat on their bodies. But these things were also made by the deputy leader before he set off, and he hadn't made a few of them yet, so they used them.
The sky outside gradually darkened, and the cave gradually warmed up. The dinner was also ready, and everyone came to Qu's side to get the food in the order of adult men-adult women-half children/girls.
While distributing today's food to everyone, Qu thought silently in his heart, "I didn't expect that one day, Qu would be able to live this kind of life. From a person who was exchanged by the tribe, he became a person who can manage the food of so many people." ... I don't know what happened to my former tribe...
It's a pity that I was too young when I was replaced, and I don't remember many things... If they know that I am already like this, I don't know if they will regret it...'
Li Nong looked at Qu, who was scooping up soup for everyone, and became dazed while scooping up the soup. He poked Qu with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want?"
Only then did Qu come back to his senses, and he also replied in a low voice, "I didn't think... what..."
There is no need to wait for the barbecue, and the soup has to be drunk in turn, because this time the deputy leader only allocated 15 clay bowls for them to drink 3 clay pots. So as long as it involves the use of pottery bowls, there are more than two groups of people who take turns to drink soup or hot water.
After dinner, Qu arranged several groups of people to watch the night in turn, and went to see if no one had enough animal skin quilts to cover them. Then he went to look at the bonfire, and came to the edge of the cave.
The first group to keep watch was Li Nong, and two men from the Mushroom Tribe and the Brown Tribe.
Seeing Qu passing by, Li Nong smiled and took the pottery bowl aside. Inside is hot water that has just been filled. There is a simple small stove near the entrance of the cave. The pottery pot inside basically keeps hot water all the time.
Otherwise, he would have been suffering from the cold at the entrance of the cave. If the cold was unbearable and he couldn't finish drinking a bowl of warm hot water, then the night watchmen would probably be a bit slack.
After receiving the hot water from Li Nong, Qu sipped it in small sips, he sighed a long time, "Finally... back... I don't know... the leader...they...how.. . had... ”
It means that they are finally back, and I don't know how the leaders are doing.
Li Nong rubbed his hands together, breathed a sigh of relief towards his palms, and continued, "Yes, three moons... I don't know."
The people from the Mushroom Tribe and the Brown Tribe next to them looked at them curiously. Although they stayed together for so many days, they had seen many people in this tribe speak this strange dialect many times.
But even though they have met many times, they still feel very strange, how can this tribe have so many things to say? Don't know what they are talking about
The two asked curiously with gestures, this aroused the interest of Qu and Li Nong, and made them think that teaching these people to speak their own tribe's language is also a good choice~
Anyway, the long night is long, and the vigil itself is very boring. What to do, not to do
And if they can also communicate with us normally, it will be much more convenient for us to deal with things...
Oh, why didn't I think of it before!
I wasted the first few days in vain~~
When the two were forced to learn the language before, they didn't think about it at all, but now they really use it. Compared with other tribes, they know how easy the language of their own tribe is to use~
