MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 25

Within a few days, it was December, and the snow finally started to fall.

Although the small bamboo house has been upgraded before, thatch was added and mud was applied. But primitive people, as group animals, are okay in summer, but when it gets cold in winter, they are used to sleeping next to each other, and they are used to the constant snoring around them, which can give them enough sense of security.

Sang Yu is also a person who attaches great importance to privacy and individual independence, which is reflected in the previous construction of a single grass shed.

But she also respects people's need to live in groups and keep warm, especially in snowy days like this.

People hugged their animal skins and went to the "dining room" next to the kitchen to check in.

In the past, the tribe used to eat soup and barbecue around the fire outside. But when it rains, you can't eat outside.

When building the kitchen, Sang Yu specially asked Yan and Jiao to build such a straw shed dining room for eating in rainy days.

The dining room is very large and can accommodate more than fifty people.

There was enough firewood prepared earlier, and Sang Yu asked the dining room to light two fires every day, so that men and women would sleep on one side of the fire separately.

Everyone's animal skins were placed next to the fire, and they were used as cushions during the day and mats at night, and they didn't go out unless necessary.

The dining room had also been plastered with mud before, but Sang Yu specially ordered a few holes to be left.

There are so many people gathered around the fire in the dining room, the air is not circulating, and it is easy to inhale the carbon monoxide released when the charcoal fire burns and get poisoned. A few holes are left to facilitate air circulation.

The conditions in the dining room are simple, but for these people in the tribe, this is an unprecedented beauty.

In the past, many of them were not qualified to live in caves at all, and there was no concept of building a house in the tribe. When it snowed, a few of them could only huddle together in the crevices of the rock wall, trying every means to keep their bodies warm.

When the wind blows, it is like a knife cutting, and the fire that was born in the open space is blown by the wind without any heat. If it rains and snows, it will be even worse, and many people cannot survive the winter because of this.

But now they have a house to live in, a fire to cook, and two meals a day.

The earthenware pot on the stove burns hot water from morning to night all day long. I want to wash my hands, feet and drink water, and everything is warm.

Thinking of this, everyone was grateful to Sang Yu, the new leader.

But Sang Yu still felt that what she did was not good enough.

But right now, it's the only way to deal with it.

She didn't choose to live in the dining room with everyone, and she didn't want to stay here with such a large group of people eating, drinking and sleeping all day long.

Her small bamboo hut can light a fire and she can sleep on her own bamboo bed.

Yes, Sangyu has a bed, and Yanhejiao built a bamboo bed according to her request.

The bamboo bed uses four thick bamboos as pillars, burns a few holes in the big bamboos with fire, and then inserts the horizontal bamboos into it to simply make a bed frame.

A row of tight small bamboos are tied on the bed frame as a bed board. If there is no mat, you can only use hay to pad the bamboo boards, and then spread animal skins on top to make a comfortable bed.

Although turning around at night, the dry grass will make a rustling sound. But the advantage is that the mattress is soft, and this small sound is not a big problem.

The skins of the few leopards that were wiped out on the way here were also completely peeled off by Zhi and Yuan.

The leopard's skin was sent to Sangyu.

Sang Yu originally disliked the smell of it, but when it was cold in winter, she had to rely on it as a quilt.

So she thought of a way to soak and rub it with plant ash, and she was satisfied only after doing it more than a dozen times without smelling the smell. Now throw it on the bed and use it as a quilt, which can resist the cold.

The only bad shortcoming is that the leopard's skin is not big enough, and it can't reach it if it is covered, and it wakes up from the cold every day.

Since the beginning of winter, Sang Yu has stayed in the bamboo shed every day and hasn't gone out much.

The fire in the shed has never been extinguished, and her only pleasure is to make tea and drink.

When I rode Si Ya through the mountains looking for salt earlier, I encountered a few camellia trees, which were sparse, but she still let her pick some back.

Therefore, the three Daxue sisters specially built a teapot for her. Now she sits cross-legged by the fire drinking tea, a rare comfort.

After drinking two cups of hot tea that day, she couldn't sit still. Sang Yu decided to go to the dining room to hang out. She pushed open the bamboo door and saw that the mountains and plains were already covered in white, and even the tall trees were covered. With heavy snow.

She only had three sets of clothes in total, three trousers, two long-sleeved T-shirts and a sweater, a black jacket and a windbreaker.

Now wearing a windbreaker on the body looks extraordinarily flimsy in the heavy snow.

When the wind blows, the sleeves of the clothes flutter, which is beautiful but also very cold.

Sang Yu finally went back to the bamboo hut, took the leopard skin she slept on and put it on her body, and then went out again.

Looking at the snow-white mountains in front of me and the simple hut behind her, I stroked a lock of hair hanging on my chest helplessly, and said with a sigh: "I think my old lady was considered an urban beauty back then, but today she fell to such an extent."

After speaking, he tightened the leopard skin on his body, endured the cold and walked towards the kitchen not far away.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a gust of hot air rushed into the room.

There are all kinds of smells in it, which is why Sang Yu would rather be alone than be in the same room with these people.

Fortunately, an order was given earlier to make it easier for these people to go to the toilet, take a bath frequently, and wipe their bodies with hot water in cold weather so as not to stink.

When everyone saw Sang Yu coming in, they all rushed to call the leader.

If there is no leader, it is impossible for them to be alive and kicking in such a world of ice and snow, and they can still drink hot soup.

Maybe there was a little doubt before, but now all that's left is total trust and admiration.

Sang Yu looked around the room and didn't see Yu, so she thought that the little girl must have gone to the kitchen to help Yuan cook.

"How is it? Is it okay to live in the dining room?" Sang Yu asked with concern.

Now that she has become the leader of the tribe, she often feels that she is the head of the family. No matter how old these people are, they are all her children.

"It's a good stay, and there's hot soup to drink, it's comfortable."

"Boss, the house is warm. No one can survive the winter this year."

These words sound easy at the moment, but if you think about it, you can understand how the people of the old tribe lived in winter.

"We don't have much food this year. Everyone is very sensible and restrained. I know that. I will find a way to find food in the future." Sang Yu said.

Where can this ice and snow find food.

Everyone scrambled to say: "Leader, we can eat enough and don't need to go hunting."

Hunting in this weather means death. Even if he is not a member of the hunting team, he does not want his tribe to go out to take risks.

"Leader, we will only eat one meal a day in the future. We can save a lot of food and we will definitely survive."

Seeing this, Sang Yu comforted them and said, "Don't worry, I won't make fun of everyone's lives, there will be a way."

What she is thinking at this moment is that the river running from east to west in Xindi, perhaps this time should make some gifts for mankind.

Sang Yu talked to them for a while before returning to her small bamboo hut.

Compared with the steaming heat in the dining room just now, the small bamboo shed looks much cooler, but the air is also much fresher.

Sang Yu sat beside the bamboo bed, and the three-legged clay pot on the firepit in front of the window was steaming.

It's okay to sit by the firepit during the day, but it's a bit cold to sleep at night.

Two leopard skins, one for pad and one for cover. But no matter what, it is still incomparable to modern cotton quilts and silk quilts.

Until the bamboo door was knocked, a small head poked in.

Seeing her, Sang Yu smiled and said, "Come in, it's snowing heavily outside."

It was Yu who brought her food.

Everyone knows that the leader likes to be clean and doesn't like to be noisy with a group of people. Besides, it's snowing heavily now, and he doesn't want her to go out to catch the cold. Every time Yuan cooks, she makes a separate portion for her. Sang Yu, Yu will send it over as soon as possible.

Sang Yu touched her little head and said, "Have you eaten it yet?"

Yu hummed to indicate that he had eaten.

"Eat some more with me."

Yu shook his head and said, "No, I ate it."

It has been snowing for the past few days. Under Sang Yu's order, Yuan will control the ingredients when cooking every day, so that everyone can eat.

But it is really difficult to eat a full meal. Even if you are full sometimes, you can drink soup to fill you up.

But everything was better than ever before, and everyone couldn't help admiring the leader's brilliance, who was able to make such a powerful thing as a clay pot.

In the past, when a pheasant was cooked and distributed among ten people, one person could eat a little.

But now there is a pottery pot, cut the meat into small pieces, put it in the pot to cook, add water and wild vegetables, and you can make a big pot of food, enough to feed more than 20 people.

As for Sang Yu's food, because she is the leader, Yuan will prefer her more when cooking.

Sang Yu also knew about Yuan's kindness, and it didn't look too much, so she didn't point it out.

It was precisely because of this that Sang Yu called Yu to stop eating with him.

Yu pursed her lips and refused, but Sang Yu still took out a pottery bowl and gave her half of it.

Watching the little girl eat the meat and soup in small bites, I felt satisfied and distressed.

There are many children like Yu in the tribe. Even the strongest Zhuang is just a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. When he was growing up, the tribe didn't have enough food, so they also starved together.

The more Sang Yu thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Be sure to stockpile food well next year.

"Come and sleep with me tonight?" She thought of the biting cold in the middle of the night, and couldn't help but send out the invitation.

The child's buttocks are on fire, and her body is warm. It is best to come here and give her layers of heat.

During the snowy days, like everyone else, Yu's main activities were in the dining room.

A layer of animal skins was spread around the fire, and the men also consciously contributed the covered animal skins to the children and the wounded.

Fortunately, the fire kept burning, and the house was warm. Fighters slept next to each other around the fire, so they didn't have to worry about freezing to death like before.

When Yu was cold, she usually slept next to the incense, and of course she knew that sleeping next to each other would make her warmer.

Qing had told her before that it must be cold for the leader to sleep alone in the small bamboo hut, and she wanted to come and sleep with the leader.

Yu was very upset when he heard that, because many men and women in the tribe slept next to each other, and they went to other places while they were asleep.

For Yu, the leader is a different woman, and no man can touch her. So when Qing mentioned this, she was very angry. Qing was older than herself, and if it snowed twice, he would find a woman.

Yu relied on his own fists to threaten his best friend, making him have such thoughts again.

But now, when he heard the leader invite him to sleep together, his heart raised for a long time for no reason.

The leader's beautiful lips were parted, and a pair of moist eyes stared at her. She couldn't describe how beautiful these eyes were.

"I have cold feet and I want someone to warm them up—"

It took Yu a long time to find his voice.

"Then I'll come back tonight."

After speaking, he left the bamboo gate, turned around and ran away.

Sang Yu looked at this awkward child and thought it was a little funny, so she couldn't help laughing out loud.
