MTL - The Supporting Female Character Is Not Behaving Again-Chapter 197 Tinder does not go out 2
The number of Yan tribes has dropped sharply because of a cold winter. It was at the time of hunger and cold that they were attacked, and there was no way to fight back.
It turned out that the Yan tribe was defeated.
The war between tribes is nothing more than to grab territory and grab women.
The tribal people are still very united, so although they are defeated, there are still some people who survive, about a hundred people, and most of them are old and weak women and children.
The warriors of the tribe have already died in battle.
The surviving members of the Flame Tribe became wanderers.
The so-called homeless are those who have lost the fire.
The witch of the Yan tribe also died in this battle, and as the only surviving successor of the great witch, the client, Slow Qing, was elected as the new great witch.
But what is the use of just having a name, there is no fire, there is no ritual to inherit the witch, and the client, slow Qing, is just an ordinary person.
A group of old and weak women and children have become homeless, and it is too difficult to survive.
There are tribes who are willing to take in the remaining women.
Some people choose to go to other tribes, and some people choose to continue to follow the client, slow green.
Anyone can go to other tribes, but the client can't. She is the great witch of the Yan tribe. If she goes to other tribes, then the Yan tribe will be completely finished.
The client slow Qing insisted that he lacked food, and finally starved to death.
After starving to death, she was screened out by Xiao Si and became the client this time.
Speaking of long-cherished wishes, slow green is just eight words, the fire will not go out, the tribe will not go out.
This is her obsession, otherwise she will not persevere until she starves to death, and she is unwilling to go to other tribes!
Meng Changjin slowly opened his eyes and found that he had changed the key.
The top of the head is a stone cave roof, and the bottom is covered with hay and animal skins.
The air in the cave is not good, there is a strange smell.
Meng Changjin climbed up from the haystack wrapped in animal skin and walked outside.
The fire was burning at the entrance of the cave, and now it looks like it is about to go out.
Meng Changjin first added a few thin firewood to the fire that was about to go out, and then looked outside.
The cave is located on the mountain wall, there are some gouge marks, but more are formed naturally.
Meng Changjin guessed that this should have been a cave in the first place, and it was chiseled to become a place to live.
Looking outside, you can see that this is a thousand semi-circular mountain walls, and there are hundreds of such caves on the mountain walls.
However, some of these caves have smoke coming out, and some do not. Meng Changjin knows what it means based on the client's memory.
A cave with smoke means someone, and a cave without smoke means no one.
Of these hundreds of caves, only half of them still have smoke coming out.
Under the semi-circular mountain wall is a huge flat land.
In the center of the flat ground, there is a round platform made of stones. On the platform, there is a seedling swaying in the cold wind.
This is called Tinder.
Don't look at it as just a cluster of small flames, but unless it is swallowed or replaced by another kind of fire, even if it is hit by wind and rain, it is impossible to extinguish it.
On the opposite side of the semi-circular mountain wall, it is separated by a river two or three meters wide. On the opposite side of the river is the mountain forest.
Meng Changjin's ears moved slightly and heard a voice from above his head.
After a careful identification, Meng Changjin understood the meaning.
I said that there is not much food, but the winter is only half over, and it is estimated that many people will not survive this time.
Meng Changjin straightened her lip line, which is indeed a big problem.
In fact, there are a lot of things in Meng Changjin's spiritual planting space. Before leaving the last mission world, Meng Changjin did not prepare at all.
She bought a lot of all kinds of rice, flour, grain and oil and threw them into the spiritual planting space.
Anyway, if you have money, there is nothing wrong with doing more preparation.
What Meng Changjin thinks is not very easy to handle now is that there must be a reason for her to take out these things, right?
Now that half of winter has passed, there should be no starvation for the time being.
But if there is not enough food, it will not be long before people will start to die.
After winter is over, there are still people who are interested in this site and want to grab it, and they can't fight on an empty stomach.
Meng Changjin immediately felt a sense of urgency.
Even if she takes out the food now, the source is unclear, and these people are afraid to eat it.
There is only one way.
That is, become a witch.
The people of the tribe believe the witches unconditionally.
Meng Changjin thinks it doesn't matter if she doesn't become a witch. If she can make the witch believe in her, it will solve the problem.
The most important thing is that the shaman of the tribe usually passes on everything about the shaman to the new shaman before he dies. Meng Changjin is afraid that he will become this shaman and let the current shaman die , that would be bad.
But how to make Wu believe her is not an easy thing.
Wrapping the hide tightly, Meng Changjin stepped on the stone pit next to him and went down.
When passing by the neighbor's house below, the other party said a lot to Meng Changjin.
Meng Changjin was stunned for a while, and then made a distinction in his mind, and only then did he figure out what the other party was talking about.
The neighbor below the client is also one of the candidates for the next witch. In other words, the people living in the six caves in this column are all candidates for the witch.
Client Slow Qing is just one of them.
The client lives in the cave on the second floor of this row. The person living below her is named Zhuo, who is fourteen years old this year. .
The other party was chatting just now, just asking Meng Changjin what he was going to do. Don't go out in such a cold winter.
Of course, in addition to this, the young man named Zhuo also talked to Meng Changjin about previous winters.
The main thing is that someone went out last winter and was frozen to death.
Meng Changjin wanted to laugh a little, was she afraid that she would freeze to death when she went out?
The winter here is really cold, Meng Changjin feels it is a dozen degrees below zero.
In addition to heating, they also rely on animal skins and hay and a small fire at the entrance of the cave. It is not surprising that people freeze to death.
Meng Changjin typed the draft, and talked to the other party in the same quack words, and she just went out for a walk.
After finishing speaking, Meng Changjin quickly stepped on the stone pit and fell to the ground without waiting for the other party to stress again that he would freeze to death.
When they got to the ground, Meng Changjin found that these caves, the caves on the ground, were blocked by stones, and the ones above were gone.
But looking at the stone pit used for going up and down, Meng Changjin knows why.
It's just such a stone pit, you have to be careful up and down, let alone carry stones up.
Meng Changjin didn't look much, turned around and walked towards the river.
Before taking a few steps, Meng Changjin heard footsteps coming from behind him.
Meng Changjin turned around suddenly, so frightened that Zhuo Yi, who was following him, fell to the ground, and there was a lot of snow on the hide.
"Why did you come here? Didn't you say that you would freeze to death if you went out? Go back." What are you doing?
"I, I'm afraid you'll freeze to death, I'll drag you back." He said in a low voice.
Meng Changjin:…
After being speechless for a while, Meng Changjin frowned and said sternly: "Go back immediately, don't follow me!"
She's out for business, but she doesn't have time to take this child with her!
Meng Changjin's expression was so serious that Chuo, who just got up from the ground, shrank his neck.
"Then you freeze to death..." Zhuo wanted to talk about dragging the body, but seeing Meng Changjin's dark face, he couldn't continue.
"I'm sure I won't freeze to death, but you can't say so. You have to follow. I don't care if you freeze to death." Meng Changjin's face was dark and his tone was very serious.
"Okay, don't follow me." Meng Changjin didn't bother to say any more, and after adding a stern sentence, Meng Changjin continued to walk outside.
The same is true now, Meng Changjin does not allow Zhuo to follow, and Zhuo does not dare to follow.
Unable to follow Meng Changjin, Zhuo quickly ran back to his cave. In fact, he was afraid that he would freeze to death.
Meng Changjin's spiritual consciousness has been spreading behind her, and she is satisfied that Zhuo has not followed.
It's fine if you don't follow, if you follow, Meng Changjin's action will be inconvenient.
She came out on purpose to find a way to bring something out of the spiritual plant space.
Like her knife.
In addition, Meng Changjin also wanted to go to the river to see.
The river is frozen into ice now, and fish may be seen directly under the ice.
If you can really see it, you can catch some back.
Now food is in short supply, and fish is also food.
However, in the client's memory, the people of the Yan tribe do not eat fish.
These people can't handle fish at all, and they can't chew on scales, so fish are excluded from the food.
Because the people of the Yan tribe do not eat fish, there may be a lot of fish in the river.
All are caught, enough food for a few days is also good.
At the riverside, Meng Changjin took out her knife.
The fiery red straight knife was held in her hand, and she stepped on the river in two or three steps.
The consciousness spread out, passed directly through the ice layer, and probed towards the surroundings.
Soon, a smile appeared on Meng Changjin's face, there are so many fish under the river!
There are a lot of fish, and they are quite fat.
If you see any one, it should look like five or six pounds.
Meng Changjin picked up the knife and chopped at the ice. Although his strength was not great, the knife was good!
Under Meng Changjin's fiery red straight knife, the ice layer seemed to have turned into soft tofu.
Meng Changjin was very happy fishing, and it didn't take long for her to lift a large piece of ice off the river.
Looking back, she found a lot of big fish. Meng Changjin found a rope to string the fish, which was more than one meter long.
Meng Changjin struggled to drag.
But the fish are dead, you can put them directly into the spiritual plant space, and then take them out when you are near the cave.
As for the straight knife, Meng Changjin will naturally take it back and put it on the bright side.
In the winter tribe, in order to reduce consumption, everyone eats a little something and then sleeps all day.
So Meng Changjin dragged a long string of fish back, and few people noticed.
Meng Changjin didn't care, dragged the fish directly to Wu's cave.
Wu's cave is on the first floor. There is no stone pile at the entrance of the cave, but a piece of animal skin is hung to prevent the wind.
Meng Changjin just dragged the fish to the outside of Wu's cave, when an old voice came from inside: "It's slow green, come in."
Meng Changjin raised his eyebrows slightly, this witch is a bit interesting.
Meng Changjin didn't drag the fish in either, he put a bunch of fish outside, and opened the animal skin and went in.
Wu's cave was much bigger and divided into several rooms.
At this time, the witch with a wrinkled face was sitting on the stone bench, holding a roll of animal skin in his hand.
"Why did you go out? It's freezing cold. It's dangerous to go out." .
Seeing that the old lady was very gentle, Meng Changjin felt that she should be able to speak well, and after thinking about it, she said, "Da Wu, I just went to the river to catch some fish and beasts, and I want to give everyone a share. "
Wu looked at Meng Changjin again, paused, and slowly said, "How do fish and beasts eat? The hard armor on the surface can be removed, but the bones of fish and beasts are too thin. , it is easy to accidentally eat it and get stuck in the throat, even if you are careful, the fish and beasts don’t taste good and are miserable.”
Meng Changjin listened quietly and nodded in approval.
Meng Changjin nodded, even more strange.
Since you know these problems of fish beasts, how can you catch fish beasts back?
Meng Changjin was not in a hurry: "Da Wu, I have a way to make the meat of fish and beasts not bitter, everyone should be careful when eating, no problem."
"Do you have a solution?" Wu looked at Meng Changjin strangely, and soon a smile appeared on his face: "Then give it a try."
Meng Changjin was surprised by Wu's good words, so she tried it?
But she didn't delay, and nodded hurriedly: "Wait for a while, the witch will be fine soon."
Meng Changjin hurriedly opened the animal skin curtain and went out.
Finding a relatively small fish from the rope, Meng Changjin didn't care whether the straight knife he made of this heavenly material treasure to scrape the fish scales would be wronged, he scraped it numbly The fish scales, together with disemboweled the fish, took out the internal organs and black membranes.
Gills are also parts that must be cleaned.
After finishing this, Meng Changjin carried the treated fish again and ran to the river to wash it. When he arrived outside Wu's cave, he had already cut the fish and skewered it on a wooden stick.
