Chapter 696: More than 30 People
You can see it from the falling of a leaf.
It turns out that late autumn has finally come, and a layer of leaves has fallen from the big trees. Hunting them is still a must-do homework every day, but when the class is over, it is also cold weather, and there are stronger ones. Survive.
After the last leaf on the tree fell, it became more and more difficult to catch prey. They were already consuming their food reserves. There was nothing here except dried meat. The meat was usually cooked in a big pot. , and then each person got a piece of meat, three meals a day.
"I want to eat braised pork," Yao Xiaoyu hugged the bowl and was tired of eating. She really didn't want to eat, but she felt hungry even if she didn't eat.
"Just think of it as braised pork," Zhang Peng took a sip of the broth and licked his lips, "I haven't had it in five years, how old are you, just get used to it."
"Then do you still remember what the braised pork tastes like?" Yao Xiaoyu asked Zhang Peng. A person who has not eaten anything else for five years must have forgotten the most basic taste of their food.
Zhang Peng took a bite of meat and ate it as if it were braised pork. He asked if he could remember the taste of braised pork or other meats.
He shook his head, "I forgot."
On the other side, Shijia gave most of the meat in her bowl to Taishan.
Taishan touched the bowl, and finally picked up the meat and ate it. Shijia didn't eat much meat, as long as it could basically maintain the body's physiological functions, so most of it was for Taishan to eat. The man himself Even if you get hungry quickly, you will consume a lot, so eat more.
"Shi Jia, you are kind to Taishan."
Zhang Peng picked up the bowl and drank the soup again, "How about you settle here? It would be good to find a savage. Then give birth to a little savage." As a result, before he could finish his words, Yao Xiaoyu gave him a A kick.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are just savages. I want to go back. I still have a boyfriend."
"Go back?" Zhang Peng smiled brightly, but it was actually very bleak. "I have been here for five years. If I can go back, I have already gone back. You better not think about things that can go back every day. In fact, these are basically all impossible."
Yao Xiaoyu kicked Zhang Peng again, "Just because you can't go back doesn't mean I can't go back. My life is much better than yours."
"Well, it's much better." Zhang Peng and Yao Xiaoyu are not here to carry anything. If they can go back, that would be the best. But if they can't go back, they will be like him, waiting day by day. , waited year after year, and finally waited for five years. The more savage-like his temperament became, he had already accepted the situation, no, he had accepted his fate.
Shijia listened to what they said. She just drank her portion of the soup with concentration, never expressing any opinions of her own. She would be ready to go back, and she would also be ready to stay here. No matter where she is, the first thing she has to do is to survive.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and you can see the white air under their breath.
Yao Xiaoyu breathed hot air into the palm of her hand. It was so cold.
Shi Jia squatted on the ground again, cutting branches together with Taishan. They whittled the branches into sharp ends, and then used the feathers of an animal to make arrows. This was Shi Jia's improved bow and arrow, which was better than Zhang's. The kind without technology that Peng brought is much better.
Zhang Peng curled his lips and could only shrug his shoulders, and then said, it's none of his business, it's really none of his business. He's not a weapon maker, he's just an otaku who loves to play games.
But Shi Jia is different. She has been exposed to these things, and there is no gunpowder here. Otherwise, Shi Jia might be able to prepare gun powder.
The prey they brought back became less and less, and almost every day they could count them. When nothing happened, Shi Jia was making these arrows as backup.
Until one day, the tribe leader brought back a large group of people. Zhang Peng translated and said that this was a small tribe with more than thirty people who came to seek refuge with them, and of course the people in the tribe were welcome. , directly cooked a large pot of meat for these people to eat.
Yao Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel nervous as she looked at the meat cooking in the pot.
Suddenly there were more than thirty mouths. I thought that the food might not be enough. It was such a big pot at one time. Their food reserves were so much.
Shi Jiazai took a stone and counted it on the ground.
She knew the amount of food, because she had a share of the food here. She hunted very quickly, especially with very good skills. Although at first she still couldn't stand up to these savages who were born to hunt, but after After she took some time to adapt, her skills became very fast, and she added various traps, so sometimes the prey she hunted were the sum of these savages.
Zhang Peng and Yao Xiaoyu both squatted in front of her, watching Shi Jia quickly draw Arabic numerals on the ground, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and others.
Until Shijia threw away the pebbles in his hands, and then looked at them, "If they don't save food, they can only eat food for a month at most. If you add in the possibility of catching other prey, then it may last longer."
"I'll go find the tribe leader."
Zhang Peng stood up. Not enough food was a big deal.
He came back not long after, but his face didn't look very good.
"They don't agree, right?" In fact, Shi Jia had already thought about it. These uncivilized savages couldn't think so much. Moreover, among the dozens of people who came this time, there were more than a dozen women. For these more than ten women, the tribal leader would definitely keep these people.
"Zhang Peng, we may have to think about it."
Knowing that many people might starve to death, it is not something Shi Jia would do to continue. Zhang Peng said that every year there would be people who starved to death in the tribe. This is a very normal thing. This year Zhang Peng was still thinking that there would be no need for people to starve to death. However, who knew that so many people came at once, and this time there were more than one or two people who starved to death. Although the lives of people here are not valuable, and the savages live a short time, but Shi Jia and his people have to survive. No matter what, they have to survive.
"Let me think about it again," Zhang Peng also felt a headache. He tried many times. These people have already stayed in the tribe, so it is impossible to drive them out. What they can do now is to strictly regulate the amount of food used, from three times a day to once a day. The women in the tribe do not work, so they can eat less and give the food to the men. After all, men still have to go out hunting. Although there are not many things that can be hunted in winter, there will always be a few that slip through the net.
