Halfway through autumn, it means that winter is about to usher in. Taking advantage of the last warm sun of the year, the tribe must collectively stockpile winter food, which means that the tribe will usher in the busiest season.
Meng Sheng and Zhong Yang inspected the previously smoked animal meat in the collective cave.
The meat of the two wild animals weighed more than a thousand catties, and they were all divided into pieces and smoked in the grain storage cave.
"Using the method you said, none of the meat is spoiled. If it was in the past, these prey would die within ten days." Zhong Xin walked back and forth in the cave with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark beasts. Meat, with joy on his face.
Zhong Yang followed up and said, "Then this winter will be much easier. The prey will be stored for a long time, and there will be no fear of running out of food in the middle of winter."
"These two beasts seem to have a lot of meat, but there are also a lot of people in our tribe. We should hurry up and arrange everyone to gather together."
Meng Sheng came out of the cave and said to the two of them.
Zhong Yang said: "Oh, that's how it is. After discussing with my father, I plan to divide the people in the tribe into three parts. The males go hunting in the wild beast forest, the sub-females are led by Qiu Juan to find Yanshi, and the females are in charge of hunting. How about picking berries or something?"
Meng Sheng nodded, and the division of labor is appropriate, which is very good: "There are a lot of people in the three parts, and each part will be divided into groups, so that everyone will have a sense of competition and compete to collect, so that no one will be lazy, and the time will be collected. There are more things."
"It makes sense, let's do it this way." After Zhong Xin approved Meng Sheng's proposal, he said to Zhong Yang: "Go and inform everyone that we will gather here tomorrow and go out in groups to collect."
Zhong Yang was going to inform the people in the tribe, so he went with Meng Sheng who was about to go back.
"It's getting colder, why don't you get two more animal skins?" Zhong Yang saw Meng Sheng's bare legs.
Meng Sheng came out in a hurry this morning, and he didn't care whether it was cold or not. He was really chilled after being told that.
He glanced at Zhongyang, and it was nothing more than that the short animal skin that used to reach the thigh had changed to the long animal skin that reached the calf.
"Is it convenient for you to move around?" He tugged on the male's animal skin skirt.
Zhong Yang hurriedly picked up his animal skin, fearing that it would be ripped off by Meng Sheng: "It's a bit clumsy, but it's good enough to keep out the wind and cold! Most importantly, my mother and sister made it for me. "
Looking at the man smiling like a fool, Meng Sheng shook his head.
"Hey, don't be so brave that you don't wear clothes if you don't think it's cold. I used to think it was troublesome, but then one leg was so cold that it split open, and it bleeds when I stretched out my leg. I cleaned it up for my father. I wear it all now."
Meng Sheng sneered: "There is still someone who can restrain you."
"Do you want animal skins? I still have them in the cave. Let my sister sew one for you."
"Thank you, I don't wear them even if I'm cold."
The two said that after arguing for a while, they reached a forked path, Zhong Yang was going to the other side, and Meng Sheng went to the cave alone.
He walked near the cave, and saw a figure in the sheepfold from afar, his mouth curled up, and he walked over quickly: "Qiu Juan."
"The ewe gave birth to the lamb!" Seeing the male came back, Qiu Juan happily pointed to the sheepfold, beckoning him to come and have a look.
Meng Sheng walked over a few steps and looked across the sheepfold. A lamb was curled up on the ground, and the ewe gently licked the lamb's wool: "After raising it for so long, it was finally born."
Looking at the fresh fodder in the sheepfold, he touched Ya female who still had surprise in his eyes: "How long have you been here?"
"Not for a while."
"It's cold outside, why don't you go wait in the cave."
Qiu Juan patted his new animal skin clothes: "I'm wearing thick clothes today."
It was only then that Meng Sheng realized that even Qiu Juan was wearing long animal skins, and his upper body was wrapped in rabbit fur. He wore more, and it was much rounder than before. I hid it.
He nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."
Qiu Juan smiled, then turned around and carried a thick pile of animal skins from the haystack not far away: "This is for you."
"For me?" Meng Sheng was inexplicably surprised. He took the folded animal skin with both hands. A long piece of animal skin reached to his calf, and the size was very suitable.
The animal hide was sewn in two layers, the inner layer was made of rabbit fur, and the outer layer was made of animal hide. It was very warm to the touch.
"How about it?"
Meng nodded with a smile on his face: "Very good."
Qiu Juan pursed his lips: "Then give it a try?"
"You tie me."
Qiu Juan's hands froze: "Tie it yourself."
Meng Sheng held on to Ya Nu, "I don't know how to tie it. No one has made it for me before. Zhong Yang even showed me that Shuang and Kui made him a new animal skin skirt this morning."
Qiu Juan had nothing to do with him, so he had to remove the animal skin. Seeing this, Meng Sheng quickly opened his hand, and Ya Nu went around his waist, wrapped the animal skin around his waist, and tied it tightly with a rope.
The male's muscular chest rose and fell, although Qiu Juan tried not to be distracted to look at other things, but the bright skin was too close to him, he seemed to feel the male's body temperature, his face was steamed again, he hurriedly pulled the rope Just want to escape.
Meng Sheng grabbed Ya Nu's hand, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Tighten it up, my trouser belt can't even be tightened, how can I tighten it up in the future?"
Qiu Juan always felt that what he said was a little unclear, and his face turned red immediately: "What nonsense are you talking about again?"
"I'm not talking nonsense, the waistband is so fastened that only you can untie it, and I will always be yours alone." Meng Sheng's voice was ambiguous, and Qiu Juan panicked for a moment, if it was true, it would always be his alone , that would be great.
Seeing that Ya Nu didn't speak for a long time, Meng Sheng's heart tightened, and he coughed dryly: "Qiu Juan?"
Qiu Juan came back to his senses, tightened the hemp rope suddenly, and pushed Xiongxiong: "Okay, it's tight enough now."
Meng Sheng leaned forward: "Are you angry?"
"I'm not that stingy." If he was so stingy, he would have been pissed off.
Meng Sheng chuckled, touched the animal skin sewn with hemp rope, and asked, "Did you sew it for me yourself?"
Originally, Qiu Juan wanted to tell him that he made it himself, but the male was too bad, so he simply said, "When my mother made it for me, I made it for you by the way."
"Then Aunt Luo really misses me." Meng Sheng said thoughtfully, "I just don't know when you will miss me so much."
If you don't think about it, you won't be able to finish it. I couldn't help but send it over early in the morning. Qiu Juan didn't tell the truth: "I'll go back first."
Meng Sheng hurriedly stopped him: "Don't go, I finally came here. I'll make you cured pork ribs and seaweed soup at noon."
"Mom made lunch, I'll go back and eat."
"I eat alone every day, how pitiful, you can just be with me."
Meng Sheng was sure that Qiu Juan was right, as long as the coquettish sub-female kept compromise, she would eat soft but not hard.
On the second day, the two went to the food distribution area together. There were already many aborigines in the food distribution area early in the morning. Seeing the two of them, many aborigines greeted Qiu Juan friendly.
After learning how to weave, almost every native who came today has one hand. There are many baskets on the food distribution ground, and even Qiu Juan came out with a basket on his back.
But most of the sub-females and females who came out with tools, the males are going to hunt in the wild animal forest, and most of the prey there are too big to fit in the back basket, so the males tacitly did not bring tools, but Each took the sharpest and sharpest tools.
After almost everyone arrived, the chief Zhong Xin and the deputy chief began to divide into groups.
"Everyone be quiet, listen carefully to the arrangements for this collection. The males going hunting in the Beast Forest are divided into three groups, one group is led by Zhong Yang, the other group is led by Tang Yu, and the third group is led by Kong Jia. Go to the Beast Forest You must be careful when forestry, although the purpose is to hunt more prey, but the most important thing is safety, the leading male is responsible for protecting the rest of the males!"
"Now that the team leader has been arranged, you should find the leader to form a team yourself."
After arranging the males, while a group of males were going to be grouped, the chief announced the task of the sub-female: "There are not many sub-female in our tribe, so we will not divide them into groups. Looking for salt stones in the forest, although this collection activity sounds relatively simple, it is very important. If the salt stones are not collected, the prey that the male hunts cannot be smoked, and everything will be in vain if it cannot survive the winter. Everyone must cooperate well."
"As for the remaining females, they are still responsible for collecting berries and wild vegetables as before. For the sake of safety, it doesn't matter if there are more females in each group. They are divided into two groups. One group is led by Tang Tong, and the other group is led by Zhong Kui. Take it."
"Now that the arrangement is over, let's go to team up, and ask me if there is anything you don't understand."
The food distribution field suddenly became lively and noisy, and Meng Sheng didn't say which group he would join, but he naturally belonged to Zhong Yang's side. There are three groups of males, and a group of nine people is also very easy to distribute.
It was the first time in the tribe that there was such a detailed division of labor. Everyone was very interested in finding someone to form a team. Amidst the noise, a little boy ran up to Zhong Xin: "Chief, everyone has made arrangements, but you haven't." Us."
What the little boy was referring to was a group of teenagers. Someone spoke for them, and all of them ran to look at Zhong Xin eagerly.
Meng Sheng was standing next to him, and he recognized that the leading child was Qian whom he had met in the hunting ground before.
"Then what do you want to do?" Zhong Xin has always been very kind to the children in the tribe, and when he saw the children asking about it, he smiled and asked them for their opinions.
Qian's eyes were burning: "I want to go hunting with the males in the tribe."
As soon as the words came out, the males all laughed out loud.
"You want to go hunting at such a young age. Beast forest is the most dangerous place in our tribe. Your brother Zhongyang will be injured nine times out of ten. It's too dangerous for you to go. If you want to participate in hunting, you can go with me Aoi, let's go together."
"The ones who go to collect berries are all females. I am a male, how can I be with them!" Qian was very dissatisfied with the chief's arrangement: "Does the chief look down on me and think I am an incapable male?"
Meng Sheng stood aside, rubbed his chin playfully, and said to Zhong Yang, "This kid is really interesting. He actually wants to hunt in the wild animal forest."
"Very brave indeed, but I guess he wanted to hunt for his own father's sake."
"What's the meaning?"
"Qian's father is a very lazy male, with low abilities and bad conduct. He is greedy for life and afraid of death and is unwilling to go out to hunt and hunt. He has to be raised by Qian. There was a fight with Qian before. Although this child is young, But very strong and sensible.”
Meng Sheng nodded. The last time he met him, he found that this kid was quite slippery. Although his family was in a bad situation, he didn't look crooked, which is pretty good.
When a group of children followed Guizhou and the chief had no choice, Meng Sheng suddenly said: "Your name is Qian, right? It's not impossible to go hunting in the wild animal forest. You are also a male. Males should respect each other, but you must In order for another male to respect you, you must first show the ability to make people respect you. It is also the same reason to go to the beast forest. If you do not have the ability, it will only hinder everyone. Now you tell us, you What skills do you have that can convince us to respect your request and let you go to the Beast Forest?"
Qian was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I hunt with high precision, and I can poke a running rabbit."
Meng Sheng nodded with great interest: "Really? I only know that Qiu Juan's hunting precision in the tribe is very high, and his hunting precision really convinced me. You can show me your hunting precision." degree?"
Qian Qiang poked his neck: "Of course!"
"Okay! As a male, you can't be cowardly. I appreciate that." Meng Sheng straightened up and called out to the distant Ya female: "Qiu Juan, give me the bow and arrow."
As soon as the words were finished, Yaxi in the distance threw the bow and an arrow on her back, and Meng Sheng raised his hand to catch it: "This is your brother Qiu Juan's hunting weapon. I will teach you how to use it." He patiently After explaining how to use it to Gui, all the natives in the canteen stared at the two of them: "Do you know how to use it?"
"It's not difficult, I know how to use it."
Meng Sheng raised his chin: "Did you see the tree in front of you? Let's see if you can shoot correctly."
There was only a big tree two meters away, and he had no intention of making things difficult for Qian.
Qian Yue was eager to try, and finally let go and shot an arrow. Looking at the simple thing, he let go and stuck it a meter away.
"This, what is this? It doesn't work at all."
"Then do you want to try again?" Meng Sheng raised his hand, and Qiu Juan gave him a few more arrows.
Unwilling to admit defeat, the child fired several more arrows, and in the end they all shot around. The furthest one hit the target, but it also missed.
Qian was a little frustrated, and lowered his hand holding the bow and arrow. Although he was a little discouraged, he was not convinced: "You can't use this at all!"
"It can't be used, then you have to see clearly whether it can be used or not." Meng Sheng threw the bow and arrow to Qiu Juan again. The arrows were put together on strings, pulled the strings and released the arrows. The soft bows and arrows in Qian's hands seemed to gain great strength in an instant, and they flew out through the wind.
There were three sounds of objects falling to the ground, and the aborigines followed the direction of the arrows gliding, watching the three arrows hit the big bird flying in the sky without any mistakes.
"Qiu Juan, you are too powerful!"
"how did you do that?"
"I saw Qiu Juan shoot a rabbit and a pheasant before hunting, but I didn't expect to be able to shoot three birds at once!"
The people in the tribe erupted, whether it was a female subfemale or a powerful male, they all gave out admiration.
"Is it accurate?"
Meng Sheng raised his eyebrows, his proud expression was the same as when he ejaculated.
The child didn't know how to hide it. When the three big birds landed, his eyes were full of admiration and envy. Qian nodded his head like pounding garlic: "Brother Qiu Juan is too powerful!"
"Brother Qiu Juan is so powerful that you can only find Yanshi. Do you want to go hunting with the male in the wild beast forest, or follow Qiu Juan to find Yanshi, and ask Brother Qiu Juan how to shoot arrows?"
Qian Li immediately said: "Of course I went to find Yanshi with Brother Qiu Juan!"
Meng Sheng smiled: "Go."
The leading children all went to look for salt stones, but no one took them with them, and the rest of the children were like a pile of loose sand, so they had to go to collect them with Kui.
"Meng Sheng, you really have a knack for taking care of these children just like that. If you have children's custodial training in the future." Zhong Yang said with a smile.
Meng Sheng raised his hand to hook Zhongyang's neck, and said in a moderate voice, "It's not important to train children, the main thing is to show off how powerful our Qiu Juan is."
Zhong Yang hunched his back and looked like he was about to vomit.
As soon as he lowered his head, he stared straight at Meng Sheng's clothes, "I'll go, Meng Sheng, didn't you say that you wouldn't wear long animal skins even if you died of cold?"
Meng's face was not flushed and his heart was beating: "How about it, is it suitable? Qiu Juan made it for me, and I tied it with my own hands."
"I'll go, you two won't live together, will you?"
"I think, this is what he did to me yesterday."
Zhong Yang rolled his eyes: "Are you still wearing clothes to sleep? It's okay to be crazy."
"What do you know?" Meng Sheng said disdainfully, "Old bachelor."
Zhong Yang crossed his arms, thoughtful: "That's right, if my partner is as good as Qiu Juan, if he makes clothes with me by himself, I won't be willing to take them off."
"It's good for you to have this kind of thinking, but..." Meng Sheng swept Zhong Yang's head: "It's very dangerous to think about Qiu Juan!"
"You are so fucking fierce, who dares to miss him!"
The two were arguing, Zhong Xin saw that the children had stopped arguing, everyone was almost divided into groups, and stopped the two males who didn't know what they were talking about.
"Be careful when collecting, don't go to too dangerous areas, start now!"
The natives cheered and swarmed towards all directions in the forest.
Tang Tong looked at the male who was not moving in the crowd, and walked up to him against the people: "Brother Kong Jia, I have seen you motionless for quite some time, what are you thinking, why don't you hurry up, go to the beast forest today But be careful."
Kong Jia narrowed his eyes and responded lightly.
Tang Tong frowned, and said in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean you don't listen to what I say? Could it be that you were fascinated by Qiu Juan's shooting of arrows just now?"
"Shut up and go."
Tang Tong didn't know why the male had such a big reaction. She was anxious and wanted to make a fuss, but because she had to lead a team to collect it, she didn't dare to make a fuss to attract attention. Looking at the male's back, she could only be annoyed stomp.
Kong Jia was really shocked by Qiu Juan's appearance just now. He didn't expect Qiu Juan's shooting thing to be so powerful. If he really shot the arrow that day, he might be tied into a hedgehog. Thinking about it Can't help but gasp.
