Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

As night fell, the square was still bustling with activity.

It will be very busy now, as all the harvest today needs to be distributed, including taro, red dates, duck eggs, etc.

As for sugarcane, we have to wait a few days until all the sugar is boiled before distributing it.

……

At this moment, the elders in the tribe were sitting together with oil lamps checking whether the duck eggs were fertilized.

The males are weighed and distributed.

This is the most labor-intensive task, after all, the harvest is so abundant.

……

Excluding the taro that had already been consumed in the past few days, there were 337 baskets of taro in total, each weighing an average of 70 jin (approximately 95.5 catties). Divided equally, each person got jin (approximately catties).

The harvest of taro alone was nearly 100 kilograms!

Everyone was stunned, their minds numb and blank as if they had been electrocuted.

Nearly 100 kilograms... In previous years, the Tianlang Tribe had no problem with this, but for Longspear and Mountain Tiger, this was their food for the entire snow season...

Some females even had tears in their eyes, hugging each other's shoulders, encouraging and comforting each other...

These days, they've been walking on thin ice. After all, they're outsiders, and they're afraid they'll be rejected by the Tianlang Tribe. So, when gathering, they never slack off, always working their hardest...

When they came, they just hoped that the snow season could last, but they didn't expect that food would be so abundant now...

How much good fortune must they have to be able to live so peacefully now? This is something they couldn't even imagine back in their original tribe...

However, this is just a sweet potato, the real show is yet to come...

……

23 baskets of red dates, totaling 1610 jin (approximately 6.5 catties). Each person gets about 42 jin (approximately 2940 catties). The duck eggs have been inspected, and more than half are unfertilized. 12 baskets total, totaling jin (approximately catties). Each person gets nearly jin (approximately catties).

The ducks were not distributed and were used as dry food for the hunting and gathering teams in the past few days.

Besides that, the remaining animals have been dissected and are just waiting to be weighed and distributed...

2只熊瞎子，每人得8斤左右……6只刺甲猥，每人得48.5斤左右……9只尖牙兽，每人得29斤左右……17只哞哞兽，每人得137.5斤左右……23只长角兽，每人得28斤左右……28只傻狍子，每人得34斤左右……32只咩咩兽，每人得26斤左右……82只长耳兽，每人得6.5斤左右……

In other words, today's food distribution means each person gets 431.5 kilograms...

……

The silence was deafening...

Lei was also stunned. He had been a leader for so many years... and had never seen such a big harvest... Even his lips could not help but tremble...

The other tribesmen in the square were also stunned. He already weighed over 400 pounds? Just as they were immersed in disbelief...

A word from the sunny boy Yong broke the silence of the scene...

"Chief, do we not have to work so hard from now on? Hehehe!"

Lei rolled his eyes at him: "Who would complain about having too much food, kid? How could you possibly rest just because the harvest is more than enough to cover your expenses for the snow season!

We will even work harder next time! Our Tianlang Tribe will also participate in this year's autumn trade fair!"

Going to the Autumn Fair?

The ancient tribes nearby do hold two trade fairs, one in spring and one in autumn, but most ordinary tribes only attend the spring fair.

Because the tribe's strength is not yet sufficient. If they want to participate in the autumn fair, it means they will not be able to hunt for at least 20 days.

This requires the tribe to have very great strength and food storage to withstand it.

In previous years, Tianlang had not participated. However, this year, there was more than enough food for the snowy season, so he had enough energy and strength to participate.

In previous years, the main force of the autumn trade fair was the coastal tribes more than ten sunsets away from Tianlang. Because these tribes had salt, the food they obtained from exchanging salt each year was enough to cover their expenses for half a year...

……

The Autumn Fair is scheduled for late autumn and early winter. There are still about 30 days until the fair, but it takes the Sirius Tribe 10 days to reach the trading venue. So, there are still days until departure...

Sang Tian wanted to finish his work these days and quickly make the pottery jars. If the pottery jars were present at the trade fair, Tianlang would surely gain a lot and also increase his popularity!

……

The elders of the tribe took the initiative to take on the task of boiling sugarcane and put the fertilized duck eggs back...

This is good, Sang Tian can relax a little.

Sang Tian wanted to make salted duck eggs, but gave up the idea.

But now that the sugar has been boiled, we can start brewing pomegranate wine...

……

Everyone happily pulled the food back to the tribe, and Cang and Yong helped Sang Tian and Duo move their food to the fifth floor.

Sang Tian took out two cans of grape jam she had made earlier and gave them to Duo and Yong.

After the two left.

Sang Tian removed the gauze and examined Cang's wound. The bleeding had stopped, but it was now red, swollen, and oozing pus. It looked like it was still inflamed... Sang Tian wiped the wound clean and re-wrapped it with medicine and gauze.

I gave Cang two more anti-inflammatory pills.

If nothing unexpected happens, Cang will have a fever tonight, and Sang Tian is a little worried.

"These two are antipyretic pills. Remember to take them if you feel dizzy and feverish in the middle of the night!" Sang Tian handed the antipyretic pills to Cang's palm.

Cang nodded: "Don't worry, I will..."

……

The night was very quiet. Sang Tian lay on the bed after a busy day. After so many days, today was the most tiring one.

I feel sore and weak all over, and my muscles are pulled.

Sang Tian had two bloody marks on his shoulders from carrying things and sugarcane, which were blue and purple... Sang Tian sprayed some Yunnan Baiyao on his shoulders and rubbed them.

I fell asleep in a short while...

……

The sky in the middle of the night suddenly became extremely solemn... Dark clouds obscured the moon's brilliance, and not a single star was visible in the sky...

A gust of wind swept by, and dense raindrops fell from the sky in the shape of the wind, rustling the leaves. The raindrops grew heavier, and the river beside the square swelled, the sound of the mighty water hitting the ground continuously...

Sang Tian was awakened by the sound of rain and running water...

The autumn rain brought a chill, and Sang Tian could clearly feel the temperature drop significantly. She got up, put on her jacket, and covered Ping An and Xi Le with animal skins.

Carrying a large animal skin, she rushed out of the cave and ran to the sixth level. The rain hit her face, body, and legs… She was extremely cold.

But Sang Tian didn't care about so much. She was anxious to see how Cang was doing.

……

It was Sang Tian's first time to the sixth floor, and he quickly found his cave by following his usual route.

Sang Tian stepped inside. There was no animal skin curtain at the door. Sang Tian lit the oil lamp on the table in Cangshan Cave in the dark.

Looking over at Cang's bed, I found him lying there. His lips were dry and pale, his face was slightly red, and his forehead was covered in sweat. The hair on his forehead was all wet, and he hadn't even covered it with the animal skin.

Although he had a fever, it was a cold rainy autumn night and his condition would be aggravated if he didn't take cover.

Sang Tian walked to the bedside, ready to reach out to open the cabinet beside the bed to find a piece of animal skin.

Unexpectedly, in the dim light, a large hand grabbed Sang Tian's arm, and a dagger was pressed against Sang Tian's neck...

Cang suddenly opened his terrifying eyes, his cold pupils gleaming with a cold light. He threatened, "Who!"

Sang Tian turned her head, and after seeing that it was Sang Tian, Cang immediately took off the dagger and released the hand that was holding Sang Tian.

"Sang, why is it you?"

"I'm worried you might have a fever..."

Sang Tian took a piece of animal skin and covered Cang with it. He had been full of vigor and murderous aura just a moment ago, but now he was limp, slumped on the bed, his eyelids so heavy he couldn't even open them.

I feel drowsy...

Sang Tian touched his forehead, which was burning hot.

He didn't even drink the medicine on the table. Sang Tian brought a glass of water, helped Cang up, fed him antipyretic medicine and water, and let him continue to sleep.

Sang Tian didn't stop either. She soaked a towel in alcohol and wiped it on Cang's armpits, chest, and palms... Then she put the wet animal skin on Cang's forehead over and over again.

……

An hour later, Sang Tian felt that Cang's fever had subsided a lot. She gave Cang some water, cleaned his wound again, and applied a medical bandage.

Then he blew out the oil lamp and returned to his cave.

With this, Sang Tian finally put his mind at ease. He lay down again, covered himself with animal skin, and dozed off for half an hour before falling asleep.
