Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food
Chapter 144: The Symbol of Hard Work
Soon, thirty or forty tribesmen came towards this side in a mighty procession.
"Oh, Yong told us on the way that fur balls can actually be eaten! I never thought!"
"That's right! If we had known that the fur balls were edible, we would have plucked all the leaves from the tree! All these years have been wasted!"
"How could we be so stupid? We didn't peel the thorny fruit, we didn't peel the furry fruit, and we didn't dare eat any purple fruit! What a waste!"
"Alas, thank goodness for Sang, otherwise I would never know in this lifetime! And my descendants would never know either!"
……
"Okay, come and try some! There are so many baskets, there's plenty for everyone!"
"Besides, we still have plenty of Tianlang!"
The tribesmen picked up the kiwis from the basket and began to peel and eat them.
"Oh my! I didn't expect the flesh of this furry fruit to be green. It feels so juicy and full of moisture."
"Mmm! Everyone, come and try it. It's really delicious, sour and sweet! Juicy!"
"Wow! It really tastes good. I didn't expect it would be snowy season soon. I can still eat fruit!"
……
After dozens of people showed off a few items each, everyone picked up their backpacks and walked back, chatting and laughing.
I guess I have to carry it twice.
Guo was carrying a basket full of kiwis. It wasn't very heavy, but walking on the rugged mountain road was not easy. A trace of sweat oozed from his back.
However, his face was filled with the joy of harvest. Although his clothes were soaked with sweat, he was still very happy in his heart.
Just as Guo was happily chatting with Yong.
Suddenly, I felt something was wrong with the backpack on my back!
A crisp breaking sound was heard, and the straps of the backpack suddenly broke under the heavy weight.
I just felt a lightness on my back, and the backpack slid down.
I thought the kiwis would roll out of the basket like wild horses.
Guo even prepared himself for this mentally!
But after waiting for a few seconds, I found that the imagined scene did not appear!
When I turned around, it was Ming.
She just happened to be following behind Guo.
When she realized something was wrong, she acted quickly.
At the moment when the backpack broke and slid down, he suddenly used force to lift up the two broken bags.
This prevented the backpack from falling to the ground.
Otherwise, the kiwis would surely roll down the mountain road like beads that had broken off the string, making a crackling sound!
Guo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took the strap of the backpack from Ming's hand.
"Thank you so much! Ming, are you okay?"
"fine."
Guo was relieved to know that Ming was fine. He was about to tie his sling when he suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
Ming's palms turned red.
Guo immediately stood up and grabbed Ming's hand, spreading it out.
Because the backpack was sliding down at a very fast speed, she squeezed and pulled at it with all her strength, causing the friction to leave shocking red marks on her palms.
The red marks, like small, winding snakes, coiled around her palms, looking particularly ferocious. Each red mark was deeply embedded in her skin.
How can it be alright? How can it not hurt?
Guo couldn't help but gently stroke the red marks.
She couldn't help but frown when her fingers touched the red marks. It was indeed a little painful, but it didn't matter much. It would be fine if she didn't touch it.
"It hurts a lot, doesn't it? Is it serious?"
He asked himself… Is it heavy?
Ming suddenly felt a mixture of emotions...
Because of her great strength, she's always forced to do the heavy work, whether actively or passively. She carries the most weight among the females, and does the heaviest work...
Everyone thought it was nothing, and she herself didn't think it was a big deal either.
After all, those who are capable should do more work. I do have a lot of strength.
But I seem to have forgotten that others, including myself... all take it for granted that "Ming is strong, so he should do more work and carry more."
No matter how strong you are, you are still a female and cannot compare to a male.
In the past, my shoulders were bruised from being pressed down by something, and I couldn’t straighten my back…
No one ever asked... Is it heavy? Does it hurt?
This tall, seemingly carefree male in front of me, who smiles like the sun every day, actually noticed these small details and cared about her...
Ming was thin-skinned and couldn't help but blush and lower her head.
……
Guo couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when he saw Ming's strong look.
Even though my palms were so red and looked like they were about to break out, I still said it was fine.
The moment I touched her palm,
Guo was a little shocked. It was a pair of rough and powerful hands, covered with thick calluses.
The joints were slightly raised, appearing very tough, and the skin on the palms was rough and dry, as if it had been worn countless times.
As a female, she must have done so much hard work that her hands became like this.
As expected, I couldn't help but feel even more sorry for her.
It seems that in the past, she was always the one who carried the heaviest load and did the most work among the females...
But Guo felt that these palms did not look ugly at all, but instead added a sense of toughness and strength.
Although it is crude, it is very flexible, can lift heavy objects easily, and can contribute to the tribe.
That is a symbol of hard work.
Guo felt very upset and felt very sorry for Ming.
I couldn't help but blurt out what was in my heart: "Ming, if you can't do it in the future, just call me! Don't bear it alone!"
After he finished speaking, Guo felt a little embarrassed.
Was I a little too abrupt just now?
They weren't very familiar with each other, and he suddenly said something like that. Was Ming just being polite?
But I... I'm speaking from my heart...
I really hope I can share her burden...
Just when Guo was in distress.
Ming's voice came: "Okay..."
Guo was very surprised and his eyes met Ming's slightly raised eyes.
Those eyes seemed to contain a spring that never dried up...
I don't know why, but suddenly, I felt my heart beating faster, my breathing became quicker, and my face turned slightly red.
But I don't think it's a disease. Although I can't control it, I don't reject it... I think I even enjoy this feeling a little bit...
Ming looked at the male in front of her. He was tall and majestic. His expression without a smile seemed more serious than usual. Her face flushed slightly...
Ming felt very awkward and embarrassed for a moment.
Guo also realized it. He immediately put down her wrist and scratched the back of his head.
