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

"We can capture some docile animals alive and raise them to eat when there is no food. This way, we don't have to worry about not being able to find food during the rainy season, or getting sick from eating rotten meat."

Nia's eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Lan Xi supported her chin with her strong upper arm and asked, "But this is too troublesome! We still have to find food for them. Flying beasts love to eat meat."

Lan Xi was right. The "pheasants" here - that is, the flying beasts - did not only eat fruits, they were more keen on eating meat.

"I know this! We can chop up the prey's internal organs and feed them to them." Seeing a group of people gathered here, Ste ran over curiously and happened to hear what was said anxiously.

He decisively gave Ster a thumbs up.

Ster scratched his head. What did this action mean?

"That's right, we just need to feed them with things that the tribesmen don't like to eat. Of course, we don't let them eat for free." Having said that, Xi Yiqi deliberately paused, and then continued.

"Flying Hair Beasts lay eggs! We can collect their eggs, they can be stored for a long time, and we can hatch them."

Hearing this, Chen Qi asked a rare question: "Why do we have to go through the trouble of hatching it? The cubs of the flying beast are very small and can easily die."

"They used to hatch naturally in the forest, where there were many natural enemies and dangers. For example, snakes often ate their cubs and eggs."

"But if we domesticate them in the tribe, there will be almost no danger. As long as we take good care of them, we can raise the cubs of the flying beasts. The cubs raised in this way will have a more docile personality. If we continue to domesticate them like this, our tribe will have a constant supply of eggs and flying beasts as a source of food!"

"Wu Xiqi, you are so smart. This way we will have endless meat to eat!" Nia ran over excitedly, picked up Xiqi and held him high.

……

It was really scary!

After being put down, Nishi Ichiki quickly grabbed the railing beside him to steady himself.

Chen Qi first glared at Nia helplessly, then said sincerely: "Thank Mother Nature for leading you to the Yanyuan Tribe."

Nishi Ichiki shook his head gently: "If it succeeds, it will be because of everyone's joint efforts, not just my own credit."

Hearing this, Chen Qi's eyes softened a lot.

The Yanyuan tribe is so fortunate to have two powerful witches at the same time. With such hope, how could they be willing to submit to other tribes?

One day, the Yanyuan tribe will return to its peak again!

Thinking of this, he turned around and continued the work in his hands and began to build the fence.

“We have to build another straw shed for the flying beast’s home…” Chen Qi muttered to himself as he smashed the wood into the soil.

Seeing this, Nia also rushed to join the construction.

With a smile on his face, Nishi Ichisu turned around and walked towards the cave where the supplies were stored in a happy mood.

The more prey there is, the more oil can be collected.

Now there is also excess animal oil to make some other items.

It just so happens that today, all the materials are available.

What I want to make is a simple and practical daily necessity - an oil lamp!

A few days ago, when surveying the terrain with the tribe leader, he accidentally discovered a plant that was the same as the one in his original world - rush.

This plant was commonly used by ancient people as a material for wicks.

Nishi Ichisu took the lard, broken tiles and rushes and found a comfortable place to sit down by the campfire.

She first picked up a piece of rush and carefully peeled off the outer skin, leaving only the white pith inside.

Next, put the pith into the freshly boiled oil that has not yet solidified, allowing it to fully absorb the oil.

Then, take the soaked wick out of the grease, put it into the broken pottery that had been filled with animal oil in advance, and gently ignite the wick with a burning match.

"It's done, that's all." Nishi Ichiki looked at the faint flickering flame in front of him excitedly, carefully holding the homemade oil lamp, and walked towards the depths of the cave.

Because it is made of earthenware fragments, the base is a bit uneven and can be easily knocked over.

Although the journey is not long, it feels particularly long.

Go deep into the cave,

Gently placed the oil lamp next to Grandpa Luye.

Lu Ye looked up and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

He was polishing the stone tool in his hand by the firelight coming in from outside the cave. Suddenly, the light around him became brighter, and he raised his head curiously.

I saw that Xi Yiqi was holding a ball of "fire" in his hand!

Nishi Ichisu explained, "This is an oil lamp. If you still need to polish stone tools at night, light one. When I find the right materials in a few days, I will make you a candle."

Kana, who was beside Lu Ye, looked over curiously: "What is a candle?"

“Candles can provide illumination just like oil lamps. They’re a little more difficult to make, but more convenient.” As he spoke, he gently moved the animal skins and hay beside the two men away.

Seeing Kana and Lu Ye looking at him in confusion, he added: "This is made of broken tiles. It's easy to knock over and cause a fire. You better be careful and don't knock it over."

Lu Ye stroked his beard, showing an understanding expression and thanked him: "So that's how it is. Thank you, Wu Xiqi."

Kana also said, "Thank you, Sister Xixi."

Before leaving, Nishi Ichisu reminded her, "You're welcome, Kanae, you must protect your eyes."

Kana nodded.

call--

The work is finally done and I can take a break.

Nishi Ichisu walked aside and sat down on the straw mat, looking at Kana who was grinding stone tools, but his thoughts drifted away...

At first, when I heard that Grandpa Luye accepted Kana as his apprentice, I was a little dazed. When I was about to ask why, I swallowed the words back.

Why choose a girl?

This question is really meaningless.

I am too narrow-minded.
