Chapter 171 Fruit Tree Harvest
The sixth year of the establishment of the Mang tribe, the third month of summer.
Red flowers walked in the fruit woods, and the tribesmen of the Yuanshu tribe, including Hongye, were beside her.
More than two years have passed, and the small fruit forest has now expanded to more than 300 acres, and the dozens of acres of fruit trees initially planted have begun to bear fruit in large quantities.
The flesh pulp is ripe, and the fruit fragrance fills the entire fruit forest.
"Thank you for so long, waited for so long, and finally waited for this day."
The red flower picks a fully mature flesh pulp, and it is not hard, but a little soft.
The safflower peeled off the gray skin and exposed the red flesh inside. She took a light bite. It tasted like eating meat, but it was more fragrant than meat.
"With these flesh and fruit fruits, those of us who plant fruit trees can also raise our heads in the tribe in the future."
The red flower let out a long sigh.
Most of them who came from the tree tribe are women and children, and they don’t have many other skills. Apart from making bark coats and collecting gum, the way to create the greatest value is to plant fruit trees.
No matter which tribe you are in, food is always the first priority, even the Mang tribe is no exception.
I have no need to wear it, I just have to worry about winter, but if I don’t have to eat, I will starve to death at any time.
Hongye said excitedly: "Sister, this year's fruit tree harvest is so good. Will the leader reward us?"
Honghua looked at her brother and said, "There should be a reward. What does the brother want?"
Hongye took out his stone knife and said, "I want a stone knife made of high-quality stone. Lie and the others have it, but I don't have it yet."
Honghua said: "Then you can tell the leader yourself that I think the leader will agree."
Hongye hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't ask her sister to ask Chenbei for help because he knew that her sister would definitely refuse.
Honghua has a strong personality and is more straightforward. It is difficult to ask her to work hard, but it is difficult to ask her to ask others...
Two days later, the meat pulp officially began to be picked. The baskets of meat pulp brought the joy of harvest to the entire tribe. It was all food!
Chen Bei also came to the fruit forest and looked at the busy picking fruits and was in a good mood.
Hongye followed him.
Hongye picked a mature flesh fruit as big as a fist, smiled and handed it to Chenbei, saying, "Chief, try it."
Chen Bei took the meat fruit, tasted it, and said, "Yes, you have planted it well. With these meat fruits that can satisfy your hunger, the tribe can save more food."
Chenbei was very satisfied. Ordinary fruits can only be used as food supplements, but these meat fruits can be used as staple foods. One of the staple foods of the Shu tribe was the meat fruit.
Hongye smiled and said, "Not only the flesh fruit, but also other fruit trees this year, all bear paw fruit trees, and they all bear fruits and will mature in two months. This year will be a great harvest."
Chen Bei was in a good mood and said, "It's great, so we can support more people. Tell me, what rewards do we want."
Chen Bei is so smart? Hongye has always been by his side, always looking like he wants to speak but stops. He knew that this guy must have something to ask for, but he was embarrassed to speak.
This year, the fruit trees are harvested well. According to convention, they were meant to reward those who planted trees, so as long as Hongye did not make any excessive requests, Chenbei agreed.
A happy expression appeared on Hongye's face. While observing Chenbei's expression, he said, "Chief, I...I want a stone knife that is polished with high-quality stone..."
It turned out that it was for this matter. Chen Bei directly agreed: "No problem, I will ask the stone workshop to polish you."
"Great, thank you, leader."
Hongye breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect Chen Bei to agree so readily. He came to the Mang tribe. To be honest, he had not made many contributions yet, and he did not do as much as Honghua.
Chenbei continued to move forward, and the red leaves followed.
After walking for a while, Chen Bei pondered his words and said, "Hongye, I remember you were not like this before."
"Before..." Hongye's smile froze and his steps became much stiffer.
Chen Bei patted Hongye on the shoulder and said, "I know, because of the matter of the Tree Tribe, it will be a big blow to you, but that has passed, and even the insect tribe has been destroyed by us."
"So, be confident. Honghua has worked very hard in the past two years. I hope you can share some of it for her."
In fact, Red Flower is more than just hard work. In order to take those women and children to gain a foothold in the rebellious tribe, that stubborn woman is simply working hard.
"I...I'm sorry for her..."
Hongye suddenly cried, and her tears were "brushing" and shedding, and she couldn't stop it.
That was his sister he once tried every means to protect, but what did he do in the past two years?
How could he let his sister take all the responsibilities, but he hurried behind him, enjoying his sister's protection with peace of mind.
Chen Bei's words were like a hammer, knocking on Hongye's heart door, roughly smashing his closed heart door, leaving him with nowhere to hide and no reason to hide.
Chen Bei patted Hongye's shoulder again and said, "Hongye, cheer up early. I hope to see the one you used to be, not what you are now."
After Chen Bei finished speaking, he turned around and left.
The red leaves leaned against a fruit tree and slowly slid on the ground. The scenes of the past reappeared in his heart. Only then did he realize that in the past two years, he had been evading responsibility. It was the red flower who took everything alone.
"I'm wrong, wrong..."
Hongye sat on the ground, but she didn't get up for a long time, and didn't care about the eyes of others.
Honghua saw Hongye from afar. She wanted to go over and ask, but was stopped by Chenbei.
Chen Beidao: "Let him stay alone for a while. He can't continue to be so confused, otherwise this person will be useless."
Honghua hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, followed Chenbei to inspect the fruit forest, and did not go over to comfort Hongye.
...
Another month later, Chenbei's bone spear was finally made.
Chen Bei came to the place where Heike lived again, where he saw two thick bone spears.
These two bone spears are almost exactly the same. The spearheads are made of the hardest fangs of giant-toothed tigers. They are not only extremely sharp, but also not easy to damage.
Chen Bei picked up one of the bone spears. Its main rod was a straight shrub. After cutting it back, it was scraped off with a small stone knife and polished it little by little, making it very comfortable to touch.
The spearhead part, the huge fangs are ground into a flat ridge, not only the tip part, but also the sides are very sharp, and can be cut or stabbed.
The connection between the spearhead and the rod is wrapped around the animal tendons, tied up, and then glued with fish glue, which is very strong.
In addition, these two bone spears are longer and thicker than the bone spears used by other warriors, so that Chen Bei can perform better by sitting on the tall rhino king.
Heike looked at Chen Bei and said expectantly: "Chief, how about you? Are you satisfied?"
Chen Bei nodded affirmatively and said, "It's great, it's better than I thought, I'm very satisfied."
Heike smiled proudly and said, "These two bone spears have taken a lot of thought, and I know that the leader will be satisfied."
Chen Bei looked at the Black Shell again seriously. This man was really a genius in bone tool making, but unfortunately he broke one leg.
After Chen Bei took the bone spear back, he gave Black Shell a lot of good animal bones, food, salt, clothing, etc. as rewards.
After the two bone spears appeared in the tribe, Black Shell became more famous, and more totem warriors asked him to make bone tools. With this skill, Black Shell's life in the tribe became better and better.
