I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

Wu was in this hunting team; he had previously completed his first hunt safely.

Now, after this period of training during the autumn hunt, Wu has gradually grown into a skilled warrior.

His skills improved, and he became more proficient in weaponry and hunting. Furthermore, he learned how to cooperate closely with his teammates and how to remain calm and alert in the forest.

"Sister! Look! This is the gift I brought for you!" Wu, with his lively and cheerful personality, came to Jiang Ning excitedly, holding a colorful feather tightly in his hand, his eyes full of anticipation and excitement as he showed his gift to his sister.

Jiang Ning had just finished examining a tribesman's wound when she heard this and stood up, looking at the feather in Wu's hand. It was indeed a beautiful feather, its colors vibrant, shimmering with various lights, looking very unique and attractive.

"Wow, what beautiful feathers!" Jiang Ning couldn't help but exclaim. She knew that this must be a precious item that Wu had found during the hunt, a token of his affection.

"Where did this come from?" Jiang Ning asked curiously. It seemed there weren't any birds among the prey this time.

"I found it while hunting. I thought it was beautiful, so I kept it," Wu replied with a smile. "Uncle Li said it's a lark's feather. Isn't it beautiful?"

Jiang Ning took the feather and examined it carefully. It was indeed a very beautiful feather, colorful and shimmering. Larks are very beautiful birds, and occasionally they fly over the tribe's skies, with their magnificent feathers and melodious songs.

“This is really beautiful, brother,” Jiang Ning said earnestly. “Thank you for bringing it back to me.”

"What's the big deal? I'll bring you an even prettier one next time!" Wu replied with a grin. "Or, when spring comes, I'll take you to collect bird feathers. Wu said that next spring you can go out with the hunting party, and then you can have whatever you want!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning was also a little excited. She had been in this world for sixteen years and had only been able to move within the territory of the tribe. She had never had the opportunity to explore that vast and mysterious world. Now she finally had the chance.

Wu saw Baiya next to him and exclaimed, "Wow, you've grown so much!" The hunting team would go out for ten days or half a month at a time.

"Yes, Baiya can already hunt!"

"That's great!" Wu said with some envy, as he hadn't yet managed to form a contract with Tianlang.

Every autumn, the tribe holds a sacrificial ceremony, during which the bloodlines of its members are awakened. Wu only awakened this year, and its soul power is not yet strong enough to form a battle pet.

"Brother, don't worry, you'll definitely be able to successfully form a contract after winter." Newly awakened warriors usually can only successfully form a contract with a battle pet in their second year.

"That's right, there's nothing I can't do!!" Wu said with a hint of pride.

Jiang Ning immediately wanted to deflate his arrogance, "I have an even bigger gift to give you."

"What is it?"

"You'll find out when you eat."

Wu soon found out what the gift was.

Tonight's dinner is very lavish.

The tribespeople eat around a fire, several people to a group, with roasted meat carefully cooked from the game recently brought back by the hunting team, the aroma filling the air.

These prey were carefully selected and prepared, roasted to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with delicious meat.

Sprinkle some red finger fruit powder and salt on top; these simple seasonings make the roasted meat taste more unique and delicious.

Besides the grilled meat, there was also a bowl of steaming hot bone and taro soup.

The bones in the soup are simmered until very flavorful, the taro is soft and tender, and the broth is delicious. You can feel the rich texture and delicious broth with just one bite.

If you prefer a stronger flavor, there's also a pot of slightly sauerkraut fish soup on the side.

The fish is tender and fresh, and the unique sourness of the pickled cabbage makes it even more appetizing.

At the same time, pickled cabbage also has a certain appetite-stimulating effect, making people enjoy the taste even more.

There was also a fragrant roasted sweet potato. The sweet potato was roasted until the skin was crispy and the flesh was tender, with a sweet aroma that melted in your mouth.

Although primitive people's cooking skills were relatively simple, their pursuit of delicious food and their passion for life made these simple ingredients so delicious.

Compared to wild vegetables and roots, primitive people preferred to eat meat.

The reason why primitive people loved to eat meat was that meat was rich in protein and nutrients, which could meet their physical needs.

At the same time, hunting activities also demonstrated their courage and skill, thus meat consumption became a cultural symbol.

Wu quickly ate the taro. "Sister, I heard you found this today? Is this the gift you were talking about?"

"Yes, it's delicious, isn't it?" Jiang Ning looked at him with a smile.

"Delicious! It tastes a bit like yam! It's so good in soup! Wild vegetable soup used to be so bitter compared to this!"

"This is the root of the elephant ear leaf. If we dig up more in the future, everyone will be able to eat their fill."

“That’s right! Sister, your gift is really big! You’re amazing! No wonder you’re a disciple of the witch!” Wu said happily.

Jiang Ning smiled upon hearing this and said nothing.

Around the fire, several members of the tribe were sitting together, enjoying roasted meat and hot soup.

They ate and chatted, their faces beaming with satisfaction and happiness.

One of them even patted his belly and exclaimed, "This is wonderful! Life like this is great!"

"Yes! How many people could truly eat their fill back then? Our tribe is considered a powerful tribe, but ordinary people still can't get enough to eat every day!"

"What about those tribes that are weaker than us? Who knows how many people will die this winter!"

"If it weren't for Jiang Wu, we would be in the same boat as them."

"Yes! I never dared to imagine that I would have enough to eat every day. I wouldn't trade anything for a life like this!"

"Really not going to change? You'd eat meat every meal and still not change? You'd eat ferocious beast meat every meal?" someone joked.

"Eat beast meat every day? You really dare to dream! Aren't you afraid you won't be able to absorb it and will die from overeating!"

The person around immediately burst into laughter.

His words touched everyone in the tribe, and they began to joke and tease each other, creating a joyful atmosphere.

On nights like these, the warmth of the campfire and the aroma of delicious food bring people immense happiness and peace.

When Wu and Jiang Ning returned to the cave, they saw Dahe and Furong busy at work.

When Wu set off on his hunt, Dahe hadn't chosen a location yet, and he only just learned that he was going to be Dahe's neighbor.

"The Great River? Is the cave you chose here? Do you need any help?" Wu stepped forward and asked.

“Yes, the cave is almost finished. We can finish it ourselves,” Dahe replied.

"That's good! Winter is almost over!"

"Yes, you're back. Our team will go out again, and then winter should officially begin."

"You'd better be careful, the wild animals are all fattening up for winter, and they're quite ferocious!"

"Don't worry, we won't act impulsively."

After saying goodbye to the river, we returned to the cave. My father and mother were still hunting outside. Now there were three teams hunting outside, and one team stayed behind, all to prepare enough food for the winter.

Winter here lasts for four months. Every year when winter comes, all kinds of wild animals become particularly fierce. In order to survive the harsh winter, they must store up enough fat and energy in advance.

This is why Wu reminded Dahe to be careful.

In addition to protecting the camp, the team that stayed behind in the cave also had to dry the food they had gathered and make various tools and weapons.

The hunting party needed to venture deep into the forest to find prey. In order to ensure that everyone in the cave had enough food during the winter, they had to risk hunting those ferocious beasts.

Winter is approaching, and this is the last busy period.
