Chapter 94: The People across the River

The firewood in the woods was ready-made. Lin Shu and Yesen piled firewood on the two ends and the middle of the selected wooden section to burn.

The part to be preserved is to wrap it in soil to prevent the fire.

There was nothing to do when I was waiting for the time to burn, Lin Shu and Yesen began to wander around.

In winter, thick ice is formed on the river.

The tribe did not have to dig ice to get water, but directly used it to get snow and water.

The rivers, which were very turbulent in the other three seasons, came to a quiet state, forming a natural ice path.

Lin Shu and Yesen tied hay and branches to prevent slipping on the soles of the animal leather shoes, and walked towards the other side.

On this side of the river, Lin Shu had already led the collection team to explore inside and out, but on the other side of the river was a completely unfamiliar place.

The types of plants on both sides of the river bank were similar, so the two decided to go to a deeper place to take a look.

After walking for a while, Lin Shu accidentally found a tree with red spots. When she walked in, she found that it was the wild red plum in the snow, with a faint fragrance.

Although in ancient times, Lin Shu still hopes that life will have more romantic feelings.

The flowers that Xiaofeng gave her last time were raised in a pottery bottle, and it was brought to her within a few days.

There are red plums here, and it is pleasing to fold two pieces to put them back and put them on. You can also take these red plum blossoms back and dry them and make them into sachets.

When spring is coming, while the ice is not broken, she can ask someone to move the tree back to the tribe to plant it so that everyone in the tribe can cultivate their sentiments.

Lin Shu thought, and chose a beautiful branch with a smile and planned to break it.

"This is my dad's tree, you are not allowed to touch it!"

A silly voice came.

Lin Shu and Ye Sen turned around in surprise, but saw two big and one small savages walking out from behind a few thick trees in the forest.

These two adults seem to have no full meal for a long time, there is no flesh on their cheeks, and their faces are not very healthy.

Even if they were wrapped in animal skins, they could clearly see their thin body shape.

The child was only half a person tall, with more animal skin wrapped around his body, but his face turned pale due to cold, and there were several obvious red frostbite on his ears.

This kid is the one who just made a sound.

The two adult savages walked up to the child, took out the stone knife, and stared at them.

Seeing this, Ye Sen also blocked Lin Shu behind her, holding the axe tightly, and his expression became cold.

The atmosphere between the two sides was tense, like a tense string, about to break out.

Lin Shu looked at the other party's clothes and the three of them tied several animal skins with vines, barely wrapping their whole body, as if they didn't master the sewing technique.

Compared with Lin Shu and the others who wear such clothes, tailored animal leather jackets and soft sweaters, animal leather hats, and thick animal leather shoes on their feet, they can be said to be very thin.

At this time, the two adults also noticed Lin Shu and their obviously not worried about the animal skins, their healthy and rosy faces, and the strange but not to be underestimated in Ye Sen's hands.

The two looked at each other quickly, and when they turned around, they obviously had the intention to retreat.

Seeing that the other party was still carrying a child, Lin Shu should have no malice, but confronted them out of self-protection, so she smiled and eased the atmosphere:

"We have no malice, we just walk around," she leaned forward and smiled gently at the child hiding behind the two adults. "Is this the plum tree planted by your dad? It's so beautiful!"

The child's big black eyes looked straight at the furry white fox hat on her head, and after a while he replied:

"I want the one on your head. If you give it to me, I will allow you to touch my dad's tree."

"No, this is what this brother finally hunted and sent me."

Lin Shu was not annoyed, and smiled and teased the child, "But I can make a similar one for you so that your ears won't itch."

The child subconsciously touched his ears and asked foolishly, "How do you know my ears are itchy?"

The uninhibited communication between the two easily resolved the tense atmosphere before.

Ye Sen put down the axe. The two people on the other side seemed relieved to see this and put away the stone knife in their hands.

Here, Lin Shu had already agreed with the child that she would bring him sweet roasted sweet potatoes and animal skin hat next time.

The child heard the steaming roasted sweet potatoes with sugar juice described as she was talking about, swallowing his saliva, his eyes full of longing, and he whispered:

"If you give me something delicious and a hide cap, I will allow you to take two branches away."

Lin Shu took out two pieces of jerky from her pocket and handed them over: "I won't take yours this time, I'll give you some snacks first."

In order to make them believe that they were not doing anything on the jerky, Lin Shu teared a small piece of jerky and put it in her mouth and ate it in front of them.

One of the young men opposite looked at Ye Sen vigilantly and reached out to take the jerky from Lin Shu's hand.

Unexpectedly, Ye Sen moved faster, took away the jerky from Lin Shu's hand and threw it accurately into the arms of the child opposite.

The child was satisfied with the snacks, and Lin Shu was also satisfied with the plum blossoms.

The two agreed to leave peacefully when they meet next time.

It had been a while since we left the fallen tree. Lin Shu took the fragrant plum blossom branches and returned to Yesen on the same road.

Unexpectedly, there was still people living on the other side of the river, and their tribe should be not far away.

Judging from the two adult savages' nervousness about the child, the child's father should have a good status in the tribe.

"Yesen, did you know there was a tribe here before?"

"I don't know. I just came here before when the weather was warm. At that time, the river surface was not frozen and I couldn't pass."

Ye Sen turned around and confirmed that no one was following him secretly and replied.

"It seems that they are not a barbaric tribe either. Maybe our tribe can become good friends with their tribe and cooperate with each other."

Ye Sen thought about the two big and one small situation just now, and had a rough guess about the strength of the other tribe:

"But they don't seem to be doing well, and I don't think there is anything to work with."

Lin Shu turned her head and snorted at Ye Sen, "Hmph, you don't understand."

"Tell me," Ye Sen took a look at his ears.

"I didn't pay attention at first. After they came out, I carefully observed that someone was carefully taking care of the plum tree."

"No other plum tree is seen nearby. There is one there. It should have been specially transplanted by the child's father."

After hearing this, Ye Sen nodded and expressed his approval: "But what does this mean?"

"Since his father can raise the plum blossom trees that are not naturally grown here so well, it should be no problem to plant fruit trees."

Lin Shu said with a smile.

This is a talent in planting!
