Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

"hope so."

"Oh, right, when I was rescuing Luhua and the others, I saw dead animals occasionally floating on the water. If I can't help it, I'll take some people to fish them out..."

Before Yue Lu could say anything, Mo Xiaonian hurriedly spoke up to stop her.

"Absolutely not!"

Fu Cang and Yue Lu both turned to look at her.

Fu Cang asked curiously, "Why not? Those animals should not have died long ago. They were all drowned in the flood. As long as the meat is not spoiled, there will be no problem eating it, right?"

Mo Xiaonian shook his head firmly.

"Even if it looks like there is nothing wrong, the bodies of the dead animals in the water cannot be eaten. They will breed a large number of germs in a short time after soaking in the water. In addition, they are also highly polluted in this muddy flood. Therefore, the bodies of the animals in the water cannot be eaten. If an epidemic breaks out here, the consequences will be unimaginable with the medical conditions here."

Fu Cang had never experienced such a thing before, and had no idea about these things in his mind at all, but he still took what Mo Xiaonian said very seriously.

Because it was Mo Xiaonian who helped them avoid this disaster before, Fu Cang nodded directly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. We'll find another way to get food. So, I'll take Shitou and the others to look around and see if we can find some prey. Mo Xiaonian, you stay here with the Great Elder. Although the rain outside has stopped, the mountain roads are slippery. Don't walk around randomly to avoid any accidents."

"it is good."

Watching Fu Cang walk out of the tent, Yue Lu sighed and said, "It's really hard work for Fu Cang. He is the strongest and most powerful warrior in our tribe, so now that the tribe has encountered such a thing, he is naturally the most tired one. I saw that you didn't eat much just now, are you not used to this?"

"It's okay. Maybe it's because I just woke up, so I don't have much appetite. I see the sun has risen high. Great Elder, do you think the rain will stop?"

"I hope so. If the rain continues, our tribe will be wiped out."

"By the way, Great Elder, where does the water we drink come from?"

"I collected some rainwater when it was still raining, but it wasn't much, so I drank it all today. Fortunately, the weather has cleared up, so I can go out and find some streams, so drinking water is not a problem."

Yue Lu felt very confident, but Mo Xiaonian didn't think this was a small problem.

The stream will become extremely turbid after a heavy rain, and drinking from it will make you sick.

This group of savages had always lived like this, so their bodies should have developed resistance. However, her body seemed to be in trouble. She could get seriously ill after being caught in the rain. If she drank unclean water, she might not even survive ten days.

Yuelu looked at Mo Xiaonian's worried expression and took her hand and walked out of the tent.

"Let's move around a bit and go out to see if we can find something to eat and a stream."

"Okay, let's be careful."

After the rain stopped, all the people in the tribe had come out, looking for food everywhere. Mo Xiaonian looked and saw that the leaves of several magical trees around him had been plucked out.

Yue Lu took Mo Xiaonian and walked quite far away, picked up some acorns, and found a stream.

As Mo Xiaonian expected, due to the continuous heavy rains, the stream water became extremely turbid, containing a large amount of mud and rotten branches and leaves.

"Great Elder, this stream water is too turbid. People will get sick if they drink it."

Yuelu also felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.

"It should be okay to boil it and drink it, right? Now the well in the tribe has been destroyed, so we can only drink the water here."

Mo Xiaonian pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Great Elder, I have a way to solve this problem. We can make a filtering and purification device to turn these turbid stream waters into clear and transparent water. After filtering, we can drink it and there will be no problem."

"Filter and purify? How do we do that?"

"We can't do this alone. We need to dig a very deep pit and a container for filtering. Let's go back and see if Fu Cang and the others have returned."

When Yue Lu looked at Mo Xiaonian now, there was admiration in her eyes.

"How come you know so much? The most knowledgeable person in our tribe was the priest Fengming. Not only was he literate, he also lived in Wangyou City for more than three years, so he became the high priest of our tribe. But now I see that you know much more than Fengming!"

Mo Xiaonian smiled dryly.

In front of these barbarians, isn't that a dimensionality reduction attack! The high priest is really nothing.

"My father is a doctor. I have learned a lot from him since I was a child, so I know a little more than you."

"Your father is a doctor, that's amazing!"

As they were talking, the two of them had already returned to the gathering place.

As expected, Fu Cang had returned. He didn't catch any prey, but he was holding two wild potatoes in his hands.

This wild yam is different from potatoes and sweet potatoes. It is a root plant, the size of a fist, and tastes a bit bitter, but it contains starch and can be used to fill the stomach.

"Did you dig up wild potatoes?"

"Yes, there are no prey around here. They probably foresaw the disaster and ran away. Boiling these wild potatoes can help to relieve hunger. Did you go out to look for food?"

Yuelu took out all the acorns from the bag.

"That's all we found. But we found a water source. It's just that the water in the stream is very turbid. Xiao Nian said there's a way to turn that turbid stream water into drinkable water, but we need your help."

Fu Cang looked at Mo Xiaonian in surprise.

"Do you have a solution? Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Mo Xiaonian brought Fu Cang to the side of the stream and drew a circle three meters away from the stream.

"You can dig a half-meter deep pit here and wait for water to seep out of the pit. The water quality will be much clearer. Then dig the water out of the pit and put it in a wooden barrel. Then mash the elm bark and put it at the bottom. After it has settled for an incense stick of time, there will be no problem boiling the water and making wine."

Fu Cang had plenty of strength and dug a big pit in no time. The three of them waited for a while beside the pit, and sure enough, water slowly seeped out from the bottom of the pit.
