Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

The thousand-horse team went upstream.

Zhongtu Qing, oh no, he should be called Yuan.

Yuan woke up twice and asked about Tianlang and Xia. He must have remembered something, but he couldn't seem to accept that Xia had a difficult birth and that the two children had lost their parents. He clutched his head in pain and fainted again.

The witch asked Duan to bring the medicine, and when he was resting, he cooked a bowl of medicine for Yuan.

This trip was extremely rewarding.

First, he learned about Wu's past, and second, he found Cang's father.

It took a lot of effort to walk so far. Sang Tian paid attention to the surrounding environment along the way, circling the mountains to see if there was any edible food.

When Sang Tian first fell into the water, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Now that he is returning, the world is dominated by peach and apricot blossoms.

The peach blossoms are scorching, and the apricot blossoms are slightly intoxicating.

Hard work pays off.

As we were approaching the land of Sirius.

Sang Tian found something he had never seen before, a food that was a level higher in value than potatoes.

It was enough to make Sang Tian's blood boil.

It's wheat!

At this time, the wheat is in the rising stage. The overall color changes from dark green to turquoise, and the growth changes from horizontal to vertical.

It was a lush, green wheat field covering about twenty acres. Unlike cultivated crops, the wheat here was sparsely grown, with many weeds and gaps. The actual yield was probably only ten acres.

The discovery of wheat means that Sang Tian has found the staple food in the true sense!

It can be made into steamed buns, dumplings, pancakes, noodles...

My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

The spring breeze flows through the wheat leaves, rolling up rippling green waves, and the intoxicating fresh smell makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.

It looked like winter wheat, which meant that there would be a good harvest in the summer! But Sang Tian felt very strange. How could winter wheat survive in such a cold land in the winter?

Suddenly, Sang Tian thought of the active volcano in the distance.

The volcano is probably only a hundred miles away from here by mountain road. Perhaps the underground veins of the volcano nourish this field of wheat.

That’s not enough. When we got close to the waterfall, we also found large areas of sweet potato vines!

At first, Sang Tian didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there were so many strange-looking plants in ancient times.

Until I walked for dozens of minutes and saw large patches of white buds.

Sang Tian felt something was wrong. After all, plants growing on such a large scale were rare in ancient times.

Sang Tian touched the small white bud with his fingers and tested it using the mind communication system.

[Ding! ]

[Ancient sweet potato detected.

It likes high temperature and light, is relatively drought-resistant and requires a long warm growing period. It has strong adaptability to soil.

Rich in nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, carotene, vitamins, and various minerals, it can be eaten raw or steamed, boiled, roasted, or fried. It can also be used to make processed foods such as vermicelli, malt sugar, and jam.

Sang Tian almost fainted from happiness.

The existence of sweet potatoes is no worse than corn and taro!

At this time, the sweet potato vines have just begun to sprout, and small white sprouts grow from the sweet potatoes, which will slowly turn light green.

This long journey is really worth it!

Found wheat and sweet potatoes!

God has been kind to me, Sang Tian!

Fortunately, they had horses as a means of transportation, and they were going upstream, otherwise they would probably have walked for two months before reaching Tianlang.

In addition, when Yong and his companions came, they were galloping on horseback, racing against time, to find the two people.

On the way back, everyone walked slowly. After all, none of us had been to these places before, and the horses and people had been trekking for many days, so they really needed a rest.

A month later, everyone finally returned to Tianlang.

The house is neat and tidy, and the people live happily.

Sang Tian wanted to jump into her own home and roll around on the bed.

Yuan's eyes immediately turned red when he saw this familiar scene. It was the river in his memory, the forest, and the clearing!

Along the way, he recovered some memories, but not much. However, in addition to these major changes in infrastructure.

Tianlang is his home.

Duan glanced at Cang and said nothing.

Cang knew what he meant.

It was the first time that the two brothers took Yuan to Xia's grave in such tacit understanding.

The tribesmen were relieved to see that Sang and Cang had returned safely.

Peace and joy returned to the cave and went to sleep.

Sang Tian looked at the tribe.

Not bad, not bad, the houses of the coastal tribes have been built and people have moved in. Lanterns are hung in front of every house, and it looks no different from a modern rural village.

I quickly heated up the kang and the stove, then took a hot bath.

I had just dried my hair when Duo and the others came.

Lan, He, Yun and Miao were all holding their children, while Yu, Duo and Ming were also pregnant.

Suddenly the room was bustling with activity.

Several children were playing on the kang, while Sang Tian and the others gathered around the stove to make tea.

I know, Duo asked with a smile.

"Sang, on this year's wedding day, you and Cang..."

Sang Tian's heart suddenly tightened. Perhaps before, Sang Tian had not made up her mind to form a family with Cang.

But this time, Cang jumped into the river without hesitation and swam towards her.

At that moment, the sound of the rushing river was no longer loud, and the only sound I could hear was my own violent heartbeat.

she thinks.

I want to become a real couple with Cang and stay together until we are old.

"But we came back too late, and the signing date has passed. I'm afraid we'll have to wait until next year."

Lan smiled and said, "It's not too late. The witch has left, right? We can hold the tribal signing ceremony on the day the tribesmen return. This is perfect."

It turned out to be the case.

Sang Tian suddenly felt nervous, but she didn't hate this nervousness. It lingered in her heart with the sweetness of Chanjuan.

It's rare that the tips of her ears turned red.

Whisper.

"Then I'll ask Cang."

"Tsk, do you even need to ask? Cang is more anxious than you!"

For a moment, the whole house burst into laughter.

Sang Tian also asked about the children's adult competitions and trade fairs.

Lan said that it was postponed just like the signing date. Meng also took people to each tribe to inform them that the transaction would be postponed to the end of April.

……

Moon stars are rare.

Cang and his father and brother roasted a leg of lamb and ate it next to his mother's grave.

It felt strange. Eating with family was like that. This was the first time I'd gotten along so harmoniously with Duan since I could remember.

The two brothers both wanted their father to live in their home first and then build a house for him.

Ke Yuan smiled and refused.

"As for me, I live in the cave I used to live in. I don't go anywhere."

The two men helped Yuan clean up the cave and heat the kang before returning.

Cang was closing the door when he suddenly felt something warm against the back of his neck.

Sang Tian's arms were tightly around him, the ends of her hair brushed against the tip of his ear, and her voice was as light as a feather falling to the ground as she said:

"Cang, let's become partners."

His movements suddenly stopped. His pupils dilated slightly, and his eyes, which were usually silent and dark, seemed to have been suddenly thrown into a spark.

"You..." His Adam's apple rolled and his voice became a little tense. He reached out to hold her shoulders, trying to create some distance to see her more clearly, but his fingertips trembled slightly when they touched her collar.

Sang Tian didn't let go, but buried her face deeper, rubbing her nose against his neck.

"I say, let's become partners."

This time the voice was steadier than before, but the ending tone still couldn't help but feel floating, with a bit of shyness of a desperate gamble.

Cang suddenly chuckled, not the usual shallow smile, but a smile that came from his chest, with a sigh of disbelief.

He held her in his arms with his backhand, and with such strength that he almost rubbed her into her bones and blood. He rubbed his chin against the top of her head again and again, and the joy in his tone could not be hidden.

"Don't regret it..."

"Won't regret it."

But what floats in the air is the sweetness of settling everything.

This wedding is already a year late, it can't be any later.

……

For half a month, the tribe has been busy preparing for the signing day.

The current Tianlang is different from before.

The number of couples planning to get married this year has reached a staggering 103.

103 pairs, which means that the new generation of young people in Tianlang will form a family and take on the responsibility of continuing the tribe.

Everyone attaches great importance to this signing meeting.

The decoration, the scene and the food must be the best.

Mid April.

The sky is clear today and the weather is pleasant and warm.

Two thousand people gathered in the square, with newlyweds in red in the middle.

Lei led everyone to the peach and apricot forest, even though the flowering season had long passed.

But the entire peach and apricot forest was still beautifully decorated. Lush grass and vibrant flowers abounded. It seemed as if all the children in the tribe had gone out to dig up all the flowers and plant them here.

The trees, the ground, the altar, the tables, chairs and benches were all covered with a joyful red.

Sang Tian and Cang sat down hand in hand.

The smile is sweet and bright.

Lei's mouth was almost cracked to the back of his ears today, and he spoke with a smile.

Then, the sacrificial process began.

The entire ceremony was even more magnificent than the previous year, with a scene of wonder and mystery, and clouds filled the sky in a myriad of shapes and forms.

But it’s really uncomfortable to have to sit on a stool the whole time.

Sang Tian's butt was sore from sitting and dusk had already arrived, and the tribesmen who had gone to plant the saplings symbolizing "sprouting, growing, and blooming" came back.

Everyone drank and ate together, laughing and chatting happily.

Yuan took a few bites and left with the wine.

Sang Tian and Cang looked at each other, and they both knew that he was going to tell Xia and their youngest son the happy news that he had found a partner.

……

The Milky Way is turning and the nightingales are singing.

Sang Tian and Cang drank a lot of wine. It was a happy day, so they were happy. From today on, the two of them were officially husband and wife.

Sharing weal and woe, close to each other.

Cang still reeked of alcohol and the warmth of Yong and the others' noisy outburst. His steps were a little unsteady, but he held her hand tightly and led her home, his fingertips caressing Sang Tian's wrist. The gentle movement made Sang Tian feel a little itchy.

Her cheeks were flushed with alcohol, and the blush at the corners of her eyes was slightly blurred by the heat, like peach blossoms stained with morning dew. Her head rested lightly on his shoulder, and Sang Tian's fingertips unconsciously grasped the collar of his shirt.

He chuckled softly, picked up Sang Tian with one hand, his drunken breath brushed her ear, and reached out to push open the bedroom door.

The wind caused the candle flame to flicker, casting the overlapping shadows of the two people on the wall, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Cang helped her sit on the edge of the bed. Sang Tian looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

Cang leaned over to unbuckle Sang's shoes. When his fingertips touched her warm ankles, she shrank slightly but did not dodge.

The moonlight outside the window climbed up the window frame at some point and quietly fell on my feet.

The two of them lay on the warm bed.

Cang asked with a chuckle.

"Sang, what was the world you once lived in like?"

"Are you sure you only want to listen to this tonight?"

Cang was stunned.

Then his ears turned red and a glow appeared on his cheeks.

Sang Tian did it on purpose.

I know he's embarrassed.

In the past, when they slept together, Cang was very obedient and didn't touch her. But Sang Tian felt his forbearance countless times, and Sang Tian was also accidentally hurt many times.

It's also fun to tease him.

Cang didn't say anything, just blew out the candle, turned over and hugged her.

The smell of alcohol lingered at the tip of his nose, but it couldn't cover the fragrance of her hair.

The lips and teeth are close together, and the temperature of the tip of the tongue spreads to the lips.

Until the warmth of the spring night spreads, too thick to dissolve. The flowers are in full bloom, and the rain lingers and soaks into the hearts of the flowers.

They didn't separate until the early hours of the morning.

Sang Tian was so tired that she fell asleep, with a blush on her cheeks.

Cang fetched some water and wiped Sang carefully.

Even though he had seen every inch of her body, the atmosphere of ambiguity and tenderness was gone. That mark was a constant reminder of his recent madness.

His face flushed and his heartbeat quickened. The anger he had just suppressed was ignited again. After wiping Sang's body, he took a cold shower, suppressing his inner restlessness.

He crawled into bed and waited until the coldness wore off before reaching out and hugging the beauty beside him from behind.

Fall asleep slowly.

……

The next day, Sang Tian woke up and found that her clothes had been put on neatly.

But the marks on the neck could not be covered up.

At this moment, Cang pushed open the door and said with a smile.

"Come out for breakfast."

Sang Tian's face suddenly turned red.

When Cang saw her like that, he couldn't help but smile happily.

He turned around and went out.

Sang Tian's face twisted with anger.

Why didn’t I realize before that Cang was a villain who could succeed?

Will I lose to you?

I have to pretend that nothing happened!
