I'm bad and I'm hitting a wall, primitive life requires hard work

The potatoes have sprouted.

It's ready to plant.

Nishi Ichiki was carrying a basket of potatoes, and a few little kids followed her as they walked towards the wasteland.

After Chen Qi finished speaking yesterday, several people discussed it for a long time but still had no clue.

I did figure out the purpose of the Shanyan tribe sending Shanye here - it seemed that they just wanted to find out why the Yanyuan tribe didn't come to ask for help last winter.

"Tsk, how hypocritical." Nishi Ichiqi complained in his heart as he walked.

This is nothing more than trying to force a transaction, demanding women, and using all kinds of fancy means just to maintain its false friendly image.

For some reason, Yamaha did not take the salt away.

Therefore, at least before the coming of this winter, Chief Shanyan knew very well that the Yanyuan tribe would not come to him for help.

This also means that the Yanyuan tribe should not have any troubles for a while to come.

However, the salt of their tribe is traded with the Wasa tribe, so there will be no shortage even in winter.

In this way, Chief Shanyan’s wishful thinking would probably fail.

It would be bad if he got upset because of this!

Who knows what kind of evil is hidden in the heart of a seemingly kind person?

We must find a way to solve this problem, but the most important thing right now is to improve the strength of the tribe as soon as possible...

"Sister Xiqi, it smells so bad here." Yanya's complaining voice interrupted Xiqi's thoughts.

She came to her senses, turned around and couldn't help laughing.

I saw all the children pinching their nostrils tightly with their fingers, and their faces were wrinkled like little old men.

"That's a septic tank, of course it stinks." Nishi Ichiki also shrugged his nose and inhaled the surrounding air.

Oh, there's no smell at all!

It’s a coincidence, maybe it’s because I’ve been too busy these days and my body can’t take it anymore.

The wind blew last night and I caught a cold.

Fortunately, Wu Yu was able to easily treat this kind of minor illness. After drinking a bowl of bitter medicine, Xi Yiqi felt much better this morning, except that his nose was still a little blocked.

"I didn't expect that catching a cold could have this benefit." Nishi Ichiki grinned.

Yanya tilted his head and asked, "What is a septic tank?"

"Look, this is the pit." Nishi Ichiki walked a few steps toward the wasteland and lifted the straw mat covering the septic tank from the ground.

In an instant, a strong stench swept over.

"Ugh, vomit—"

Ster's face turned pale and he rushed to the side and started vomiting violently.

"..."

Is it really that smelly?

Hasn’t it only been fermented for a few days?

Nishi Ichisu looked at Ster's expression, and moved closer to smell it in disbelief.

Pop——

What a coincidence, your nose is unblocked with just one snot bubble.

"vomit--"

Well, it just turned into a vomiting duet.

After a while,

"Sister Xiqi, do we really want to use this to grow potatoes?" Ste asked unwillingly.

Xi Yiqi neatly tied the burlap strips in his hand to Ster's face and said calmly, "Yes, this is called composting."

Ster's face suddenly turned bitter.

This was the first time he hated working so much and he just wanted to finish planting the potatoes quickly.

I just vomited out all the dried meat I had this morning. If I continue to farm after eating the meat at noon, then my lunch would have been in vain.

Ster asked with some concern: "Sister Xiqi, is this really useful?" After saying that, he pulled the simple "mask" on his face.

"Well...something is better than nothing." Nishi Ichiki comforted.

To be honest, I'm a little unsure.

After all, her nose was blocked again, so she simply didn't wear a mask.

"Okay, Sister Xiqi, where did this linen come from?" Ster asked puzzledly while holding the wooden dung scoop.

He remembered that all the linen in the tribe had been taken away by Yamaye.

Ah this——

Nishi Ichisu stared into Sturt's curious big eyes and tilted his head to the side in embarrassment.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get to work!"

"Oh." Ster resigned himself to digging into the septic tank with his dung scoop.

Woo woo woo, it still stinks.

Yan Ya, wearing a small mask, squatted aside and asked curiously: "Sister Xiqi, why do we need to dig a septic tank? What's the stinky thing in it?"

"It contains some hay, animal feces, and rotten things like wild beast's entrails." Although human feces can theoretically be used as fertilizer, Nishi Ichiki did not allow his tribesmen to defecate here.

The tribesmen have their own place to defecate - in the woods behind the tribe.

Tsk, I have to find some time to ask Grandpa Senshi from the tribe to make a few toilets. It’s too troublesome to go to the toilet in the middle of the night.

"Ah, what's the use of a septic tank?"

"It's used to make fertilizer, this is because..." Nishi Ichisu tried to explain to the children in simple terms while rolling the potato pieces in the wood ash in the basket.

This can effectively kill bacteria and increase the survival rate of potato seedlings.

The children listened attentively and followed Nishi Ichisu's actions, placing the potato stems into the dug pits at fixed distances and directions.

bang-

Just when Xi Yixi was getting good at planting, suddenly a stone rolled into the pit in front of her.

ster picked it up hurriedly and put it in his animal skin bag.

That’s right, the animal skin skirts that children wear nowadays are all modified by Ichi-sensei, and a few small pockets are sewed for each child to hold snacks or something.

"Why do you carry the flint in your pocket?" Xi Yiqi asked in confusion. According to his own judgment, this kid, Ster, should have a few pieces of dried meat in his pocket.

Ster smiled slyly and said in a low voice, "Sister Xiqi, please don't tell anyone. This is why I am always the first to light the fire and get the dried fish reward."

……

Nishi Ichisu fell silent.

This was a path she had never imagined.

I don’t seem to understand the thinking of foodies.

"But you can't play with flints near this septic tank, okay? You can't even start a fire!" After thinking for a moment, Xi Yiqi warned seriously.

She has not forgotten the news about those naughty kids in modern society who "played with fire and burned themselves".

Sturt asked in confusion: "Why?"

"This will cause an explosion. It's very dangerous and could kill people!" Xi Yiqi explained in detail, making sure that Ste listened carefully before continuing to plant potatoes.

The sun gradually rose higher, and before we knew it, it was noon and the potatoes were almost planted.

"Come on, let's take a shower and then go back to eat!" Nishi Ichiki said, leading the children towards a stream not far away.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. If you don’t wash, your body will smell bad!

The water in the stream gurgles and sparkles in the sunlight.

The children took off their animal-skin skirts and played in the cool stream, splashing water everywhere.

Nishi Ichiki sat down on a rock, propped up his hands, and watched with a smile.

after awhile,

Yan Ya pulled Nishi Ichiki's short hair and muttered, "Sister Nishi Ichiki, why is your hair different from mine?"

Sure enough, the younger the child, the stronger his curiosity.

"I cut my hair short. This way it's more convenient and less likely to get bugs." He explained with a smile as he skillfully pulled up the vine fishing net woven by the river.

"Wow, really? Yan Ya doesn't want to have bugs either!" Little Yan Ya frowned, pulled his wet hair, and his eyes were clear.

Nishi Ichiki pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Would you like Sister Nishiki to help you cut some?"

Xiao Yanya nodded, her eyes full of anticipation.

The other children also gathered around.

After a while, they returned to the tribe chatting and laughing.

In an instant, they attracted the attention of everyone in the tribe.

Wu Yu, who was stuffing a basket into the medicine shelf, saw the new hairstyles of several people at a glance and paused involuntarily.

Hmm, this hairstyle is quite similar to the bird and animal nest he saw when collecting herbs a few days ago.

Naturally, several people also saw Wu Yu.

After Wu Yu turned around and continued to dry the medicinal herbs,

Yan Ya quietly tugged at Xi Yiqi's fur skirt and asked, "Sister Xi Qi, has Wu grown taller? When will Yan Ya grow taller?"

"Huh?" Nishi Ichiki didn't react for a moment.

Ster looked forward curiously, and saw that Wu Yu's linen robe, which originally reached her ankles, was inexplicably shorter, and her white ankles were exposed.

and many more!

Instantly, Ster's eyes widened like bells, he raised his head stiffly and looked towards the west, thinking: No! It's not what I thought, is it?

He saw that his sister Xiqi was whistling and pulling her straw hat down a little bit as if to cover her ears and steal the bell.
