Chapter 182 It’s Best if We Can Be Together
The witch doctor was even more satisfied with her and said with a smile, "It's just a few baskets. There are many tribes. Don't shirk it. We didn't even entertain you well when you came to our tribe. Now it's just a few baskets. What do you want?" Just take it.
"You can't calculate it that way. Lin Yun and the others have also helped us a lot. If it weren't for them, our tribe might not exist." Ayang said quickly, "Let's exchange it for some food." This way she can feel more at ease, otherwise she will always I feel like I owe them, and I feel bad about it.
The witch doctor insisted on refusing, but Ayang insisted on giving it. In the end, he came up with a compromise solution of lending it to them and returning it after use.
The witch doctor is not being polite to them, but the tribe does have a lot of baskets now. After all, they all know how to weave baskets. It is not difficult to make a few baskets when they have time. However, they basically don’t exchange things now, so they don’t know how to do it. I go out of my way to weave baskets, and when I am short I will weave two baskets. Apart from that, I do other things the rest of the time.
Lin Yun took five people with him to look for food with the Stone Tribe people.
"This is the cotton I planted. If everything goes well, I can harvest a wave in the spring, and the seeds can be planted normally." Shen Xiaoxiao took Xiao Yan to the cave, "And I also opened a small area. There will be more to plant next year.”
"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Yan squeezed her hand, "Just leave these tasks to me from now on."
"It's okay, our life will get better and better together." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled, "When I cultivate the seeds, I won't need to plant so much land to support us."
"I'll help you."
"Um."
When they were free, they had time to look at the things that the witch doctor gave them. These were brought back by Xiao Yan and the others. Each of the witch doctors gave them a little bit. Although they brought back a lot of things, according to the tribe The number of people is small, and each person’s share is not much.
There was a basket of rice, two sugar canes, and some other things. Shen Xiaoxiao poured out the contents of the other basket and found that there were bananas, cucumbers and a bitter melon inside.
"We picked it after we saw birds eating it." Xiao Yan explained that they would not eat unfamiliar food casually for fear of being poisonous. Generally, when they see unfamiliar food, they will first check to see if other animals have eaten it. There were no signs of animal consumption and they rarely moved.
"This is edible. It can be fried or eaten raw." Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to the cucumber on the ground and picked up a bitter melon. "This tastes bitter and can reduce the heat. Some people can't eat it." I don’t like eating it if I’m used to it. “But now they are short of food, so it would be nice to have some.
"This is a banana, a wild fruit, but it tastes a bit sour and contains many seeds. It needs to be cultivated to taste better."
"We will save these for planting next year, and later we will break them open, take out the seeds, dry them and store them."
"Okay." Xiao Yan has long been accustomed to Shen Xiaoxiao's idea of planting something when she sees it. Although he doesn't understand why she is so obsessed with farming, he is willing to accompany her.
"You guys made a good mistake this time when you went out and brought back so many things." Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile. Although the process was a little bumpy, the harvest was still quite big.
"I won't go out in the future, let them go." Xiao Yan said lightly. With this experience, it will be easier for them to deal with it when they go out, and he can't do anything and follow them. In fact, he thinks they can do it. You stand alone, there is no need to let him do everything together.
"Yeah." She was also worried about him going on a long trip, so she wouldn't go if she could.
"All the firewood you picked up before was burned into charcoal by me. I have to pick up more firewood." Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly said, except for the bamboo, the firewood was basically turned into charcoal.
"Okay, I'll pick up some bamboo tomorrow."
Just when Shen Xiaoxiao was about to say something, she heard Daya's panicked voice coming in, and the two of them hurried out, "What's wrong?"
"Goddess, come with me quickly to see if someone has fainted." Daya said anxiously.
Shen Xiaoxiao followed her without hesitation. When she arrived, she found that they had surrounded a female in the middle. She frowned slightly and said, "Spread out." The others quickly took two steps back when they heard her voice. Shen Xiaoxiao squeezed in from the crowd and put her hand on the woman's pulse. She frowned a little at first, but soon relaxed and smiled, "Don't worry, she's pregnant."
Pregnant? The others looked confused, "She has a cub." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled, "She fainted because she was tired. Just let her sleep. Ayu, take your female back and take good care of her." "Please let her rest well. I'll give you some anti-fetal medicine later and let her drink it."
Ayu was overjoyed, with a silly smile on her face, and murmured, "I'm going to have a cub."
"Yes, you will be able to see your cub in a few months." Shen Xiaoxiao was also really happy for them. It was a good thing for the tribe to have a newborn.
Ayu kept thanking Shen Xiaoxiao, and then hugged the female back.
"It's nothing, let's work first."
Xiao Yan was silent along the way, and Shen Xiaoxiao felt a little strange, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yan shook his head, "It's okay."
Looking at him like this, he didn't seem to be okay. Thinking that something was wrong with him only when he found out that Ayu had a cub, he immediately understood, "Do you also want to have a cub?" In fact, when it came to giving birth to a baby, she She doesn't reject it, but she won't pursue it deliberately. She just wants to let nature take its course. If she gets pregnant, she will give birth. If not, she doesn't really care.
But all these were her thoughts. She ignored Xiao Yan's thoughts. Maybe he wanted to have a child.
"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded, "But compared to the cub, I care more about you. Whether there is a cub or not, as long as you are with me, I am willing."
Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, but quickly suppressed it, "But I think you seem to envy A Yu."
Xiao Yan rubbed her head without saying anything. Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "If I can have a cub with you, I will also be happy."
"I know." After a pause, "Don't think too much. Whether there is a cub or not, it's best for us to be together."
Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. Who is thinking too much? It's because she saw him depressed that she said it. Now it seems that she really wants to have a child.
However, according to the age of childbirth in the tribe, it is indeed abnormal that she and Xiao Yan have no children until now. Other people of the same age as Xiao Yan have several children, and the older ones are also ten years old.
She checked them and there was nothing wrong with their bodies. As for why there is no child, it should be that it is not the right time yet.
At night, A Yu brought his female to thank Shen Xiaoxiao. Shen Xiaoxiao asked them to take the things back. Although they were reluctant, they had to take them back when they saw Shen Xiaoxiao's stern face. They thought to themselves that they would help Shen more in the future. If it weren't for the goddess, they wouldn't know that they had cubs.
In the past, the females in the tribe would only know if they had cubs when their bellies got bigger. Now his female's belly is still the same as before, but the goddess knew it. The goddess is really amazing.
