Chapter 235: Farming in primitive society (19)
Ning Shu and Zhi had stored a lot of meat. Seeing that there was a lot of pickled meat, Ning Shu slowed down his hunting and started to collect herbs.
In winter, the whole world was covered with ice and snow. At that time, there was no herbs at all, not even a single weed.
The dried herbs were tied up and wrapped in animal skins.
Not long after the pottery pot craze passed, Qianjia started to build a house again because she couldn't stand the humidity of the cave and the lack of air circulation. Qianjia
complained to Rui that everyone in her hometown lived in houses, and living in this cave would really make her a caveman.
Although she didn't know what a caveman was, Rui remembered it in his heart and said he would build a house for Qianjia.
Qianjia immediately became interested and decided to build a house. She had wanted to live in a cave for a long time, and it was damp and full of insects.
Qianjia also knew that this place was brick, so she asked people to collect stones to replace bricks in time.
Then the whole tribe got busy, looking for stones everywhere, all kinds of stones were available, and Qianjia liked the granite that Kai found because it was very hard.
If there is no cement, mud will be used as a substitute. Qianjia was very clever to use the mud from the fish pond in the river. This kind of mud has high viscosity and can replace cement.
Under Qianjia's command, a very simple house was built with thatched roof.
Although it was just a simple house with one door and one window, and a kang in the room, it was extremely simple, but it made Qianjia very excited and rolled around on the kang.
The chief of the tribe saw it and immediately asked his son to build such a house for him.
The house became a new thing in the tribe. They had always lived in caves before, but they didn't expect to live in such a place.
Even Zhi went to watch the house every day.
Gradually, there were more and more houses in the tribe. Seeing such houses, everyone didn't want to live in caves anymore.
Zhi looked at it with envy and asked Ningshu, "Cao, do you want us to build a house too?"
"It's boring. Winter is coming soon. The thatched grass can't support the weight of the snow. All the snow will fall into the house," Ningshu said lightly.
Zhi groaned and said nothing, but he didn't say he wanted to build a house. Ning Shu told Zhi that if the cave was really damp, he could sprinkle the ashes of burnt charcoal or dry grass on the cave floor, which should be able to absorb moisture.
Ning Shu sprinkled the ashes of burnt wood in the house every time.
Ning Shu felt that the weather was getting a little cold. When he rested at night, he had to cover himself with animal skins, so winter was coming soon.
The witch called Ning Shu to him and asked him if he had communicated with the divine stone.
Ning Shu had long forgotten about this matter and didn't even remember it. Ning Shu rolled his eyes and said, "I can't communicate with the divine stone."
The witch's eyes flashed with disappointment, "It seems that the gods didn't choose you."
"Wu, did the gods tell you that Jia is a goddess?" Ning Shu has always been curious about why the witch thought Qian Jia was a goddess.
The witch's eyes seemed a little intoxicated, "Look at the clothes she is wearing. Only gods can wear clothes like that. The gods I saw were wearing such clothes?"
"Ah ha?!" Ning Shu was even more confused. Did the witch really see what the black shadow man looked like?
What she saw was really just a shadow, completely black and without seeing anything. Did they see the same thing?
"You should go with them to this trade fair, to see the world and communicate with the magic stone. You must be determined to become a witch, and then you will be able to communicate with the magic stone naturally." Wu Chao Ningshu instructed. As the witch was talking, she started to cough
. Ning Shu saw that the witch seemed to have bronchitis, so she asked, "Wu, what's wrong with you?" "It's an old problem. It happens when the weather gets cold." The witch waved her hand and said, "I guess I'll have to go to the gods soon. I want to be the one who sits down and serves the gods."
Ning Shu: ...
So now the witch is anxious about the next successor.
Ning Shu came back from the witch and thought about the trade fair. There was a trade fair before winter. This trade fair traded what each tribe needed so that they could survive the winter smoothly.
Zhi was very envious when he heard that Ning Shu could go to the trade fair. There were many things at the trade fair, and he could meet orcs from various tribes. Ning Shu
didn't care much.
But what Ning Shu didn't expect was that a few days later, her quota was eliminated and Zhi's quota was replaced.
Ning Shu narrowed her eyes, and then she heard that Qianjia would also go this time, and the female orcs were led by Qianjia.
It should be that Qianjia didn't want to take her with her. Now Qianjia wants to do anything with just a word.
Ning Shu was eliminated from the quota, and the witch didn't know what to say. He just coughed more and more, and frowned when he looked at Qianjia.
Wu sighed and said to Ning Shu: "She is a goddess, but I don't know whether God sent her to help the orcs or to destroy them. I just hope that God can have mercy on our tribe."
Ning Shu twitched his lips, you always think too much.
Of course, as a stubborn female partner, Ning Shu went to have a big quarrel with Qianjia again, arguing with Qianjia for an explanation, asking why her quota was kicked out, and saying all kinds of things that directly embarrassed Qianjia.
Before Qianjia spoke, there were orcs around to stand up for Qianjia. Everyone ignored Ning Shu who was kicked out of the quota, but comforted Qianjia who was angry with Ning Shu, and denounced Ning Shu.
Ning Shu looked at these orcs' support for Qianjia, and he could see clearly that Qianjia's reputation in the Winged Tiger Tribe was in full swing.
Those who stood up for Qianjia were all male orcs, and the female orcs basically didn't say much. Maybe the female orcs were also dissatisfied with this goddess who attracted the attention of all male orcs, but they couldn't say it.
Ning Shu and Qianjia had a conflict, and many female orcs chose not to help either side, or even left the scene directly.
Ning Shu realized that it was meaningless to continue making such a fuss, so she turned around and left. Kai caught up with Ning Shu, and Ning Shu saw his surprised expression and thought that he wanted to teach her a lesson.
Ning Shu kicked Kai's calf without saying a word. With Kai's strength, he could naturally dodge it, but Kai did not expect that a female on the other side would fight with him. He was kicked and it hurt so much.
"I said, I don't want to talk to you, don't teach me." Ning Shu turned around and left.
But the father of the original owner Cao died to save Kai. A child without parents is just a piece of grass. If the father of the original owner Cao was still alive, would Kai dare to bully her like this?
Zhi, who got the quota, said to Ning Shu with some uneasiness: "I don't know how it became me."
Ning Shu smiled at her, "It's good to go out and have a look. You know she doesn't like me to begin with, and she will get tired of me if she goes."
The Winged Tigers are very much looking forward to this trip, because their tribe has so many good things, pottery jars, seeds, and various vegetable seasonings, which will surely shock the eyes of other tribes.
They feel proud that their Winged Tigers also have good things.
