Chapter 9 Autumn Is a Season for Storing Food.

"%#"

Wu pointed to himself, and then said to Han Cheng.

Although Han Cheng couldn't speak, Wu could see from his eyes that Han Cheng was really studying what he taught seriously.

This made the elderly Wu very happy.

It was precisely because of this that he taught Han Cheng so tirelessly.

"%#"

He pointed to himself and said it again.

"%#"

Han Cheng blinked, didn't this mean 'I'?

Wu, who is a good teacher, taught Han Cheng for a while, and then stopped talking, then picked up his pen made of stone, and carved on the stone slab what he hadn't recorded yet.

After about an hour, some people who went out came back.

The leader was Junior Brother Sha, who brought two men and five women with him, and each of them was holding or carrying animal skin packages, which were filled with large and small fruits.

They poured the fruit where it had been, and went out again.

Thinking of the colorful scene he saw on the way back to the cave the day before yesterday, Han Cheng understood what they were doing now.

Autumn is here, it is a season of harvest, and it is also a season that needs to work hard to store food.

Based on what he has seen and heard in the past two days, Han Cheng has already learned that this unknown tribe is still in the stage of hunting and picking, and is still far away from slash-and-burn farming.

In this case, collecting a lot of wild fruits has become their most important means of storage.

After all, the fruit has a long shelf life and is resistant to storage.

As for meat, it is delicious to eat, but in the absence of salt, the storage time is really...

This is why all the labor force in the tribe went out to pick wild fruits today after they had harvested enough meat for the tribe to eat for two days yesterday.

It can be seen that there should be a lot of fruits outside, basically every hour, about half of the people will come back with fruits...

The days were as peaceful as water, and Han Cheng's life was to stand here as a sculpture, watching the activities of the people in this tribe, and eating the special meat soup made by the witch for two meals a day.

Mostly it was pounded roast and easily mushy liver.

However, once it was a lamb kidney.

After eating the lamb kidney, Han Cheng was very sad.

It's not that the kidneys taste bad, but that after he ate a whole wild sheep's kidneys, he still didn't feel anything...

Damn, this time it's really useless, the source of happiness is gone...

Of course, after putting aside this worry, Han Cheng is quite satisfied with his current life.

After eating every day, follow the wizard to learn some of their language, and the rest of the time can be spent in a daze.

The work of storing food is still going on, and the women of the tribe are the main hands picking the fruit.

If there are enough prey to meet the needs of the tribe for two days or longer, the elder brother will bring the men to join the ranks of fruit picking.

With their hard work, more and more fruits were stored in the cave, and a large pile had been piled up where the fruits were originally stored.

Looking at the ever-growing pile of fruits, everyone including Han Cheng felt at ease.

There is food in hand, no panic in the heart, until the problem of hunger and fullness is not solved, it has always been a wise saying.

Han Cheng's body was very itchy. This kind of itching started a few days ago, but it was not as serious as today.

He wanted to scratch, but the result was of course crushing, he couldn't move, he couldn't speak, he could only endure the torture like scratching his heart and liver without saying a word.

But when he found that he could control one hand to move slightly, the itch was immediately forgotten by him who was ecstatic.

He was even secretly cheering up to make the itching more intense.

Yesterday, the big brother led the hunting team and returned with a full load. The prey they caught was enough for the entire tribe to eat for three days!

So today, after breakfast, he also took the hunting members and the women in the tribe to pick.

As for Han Cheng, he was ecstatically trying to control all parts of his body to see where they could move.

After working hard for a long time, a pain came from Han Cheng's face together with a tearing feeling. After this feeling, Han Cheng was pleasantly surprised to find that his mouth could be opened wider , can also be closed!

After he was convinced that he would not become a sculptor in the future, Han Cheng suppressed the urge to open his mouth wide now for a complete relief.

According to past experience, he is currently one of those who have not recovered from his injuries. If he opens his mouth forcefully to tear up the scorched shell on his face, there will definitely be scars on his face.

He didn't care much about his appearance, but he didn't want to get scars on it either, after all, it was something used to meet people.

The mouth can be opened and closed a bit, but still can't make a sound. Han Cheng always feels that something is blocked in his throat.

When he was joyfully and curiously feeling the changes in his body, the person who went out to pick fruit came back.

They have come back twice today, which is not unusual.

But when he found out that everyone had come back, Han Chengcheng was a little puzzled.

It's still early, at most, it's just after noon. Logically, at this time, not all the people who went out to pick will come back.

The situation is not simple.

It's not just because the big brother and the others all came back early, but also because the people who came back didn't carry big bags and small bags like they used to.

Not only that, six people, including Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and Junior Brother Sha, had injuries of varying degrees.

Especially the second senior brother who has a big belly, with several bruises on his belly.

But fortunately, there were not many people who went out, and they all came back in one piece, and there was no downsizing.

The atmosphere of the whole team seemed very depressed. The little primitive people who had cheered and ran out to greet them, after seeing this scene and feeling the atmosphere, became quieter and looked at them in a state of bewilderment. Parents and brothers.

The witch who also discovered the strangeness walked out from the depths of the cave, and asked aloud with gestures.

The elder brother lowered his head in shame, and didn't make a sound for a while.

Wu was indeed a wise man, so he didn't ask any more questions when he saw this, and then let everyone go back to the cave, and asked them to move a few thick stone slabs at the entrance of the cave, preparing to seal the cave entrance.

The elder brother who was limping shook his head, pointed out of the cave, stopped Wu's order, and signaled that there was no need for this, the matter had not reached this point yet.

Wu also agreed, and he did not speak any more, but began to examine the injured people.
