Let Go Of That Primordial Man

Master Niu led hundreds of totem warriors, striding forward in the mountains and forests against the ever-falling snowflakes.

The snow was not heavy, so the thin snow on the ground after one night was not enough for people to use skis to move forward, so walking forward with their legs became their only choice.

Fortunately, in today's mountains and forests, all kinds of animals have become rare, and at the same time, the danger of running in the mountains and forests has been greatly reduced; before noon, the position of Master Niu and his party is hundreds of miles away from the Heishi tribe. miles away.

The snowflakes fell on the head and face that were not covered by the clothes, or slid directly down the collar to the neck. It was very cold and uncomfortable, but no soldier complained about it.

Instead, they looked at these snowflakes with infinite hope in their eyes; when the snow melted, there would be water, and after the water, the dry and cracked earth would be nourished again.

This means that as long as they can survive this winter, in the next spring, the familiar mountains and forests and various plants will flourish again, and the fruits will be extraordinarily plump; Back to this familiar home.

The premise is that they must be able to survive this winter, and the hope of all this lies in the body of Master Niu who is trekking through the wind and snow in the mountains and forests...

In this snowy weather, Mr. Niu did not stay in the tribe, but appeared in a place far away from the tribe; there was a compelling reason:

In the negotiation last night, the Ruoshui tribe and other thirteen tribes not only agreed to form a tribal alliance, but also had Mr. Niu as the first alliance leader; at the same time, they even gritted their teeth on the point of handing over all the inheritance of witchcraft I agreed.

But Jie and the witches of the other twelve tribes, as the top aboriginal elites in the Luolei Mountains, are not so easy to be fooled; It proved that there are tens of thousands of people who lead the alliance and have the ability to survive this winter.

Then there was such a scene: the witches of twelve tribes stayed in the small wooden house of the Blackstone tribe and began to use secret techniques to copy their inheritance on the animal skin; The team formed by the guards and the fighters of the Blackstone tribe set off early in the morning and came to the farther mountains.

Mr. Niu wants to tell these country bumpkins with practical actions that it is not that there is no food in the mountains and forests, but that you know nothing about many things that can satisfy your hunger; It's just one of the master's many methods.

Of course, Master Niu's actions like this naturally have his confidence in his heart. Even if he can't find anything else, Huaishan and kudzu root, which have been proven for a long time, can always be found in the mountains.

This is also the reason why he ran so far, because within a hundred miles around the Blackstone tribe, they had basically been dug up by them a few months ago.

According to his understanding, among the numerous plant species in the mountain forest, the natives of the Luolei Mountains currently have no more than a hundred edible species; most of them are still various berries and fruits on trees , and mushrooms or something.

They have basically not formed a concept for the consumption of various roots and tubers of plants; even among the few less than a hundred kinds of food, it is still under the countless fearless attempts of their ancestors throughout the ages, they do not know if they died after eating it. It was only discovered after there were few people.

Every food that proves edible is an invaluable inheritance to them.

After learning of Master Niu's plan, Jie, Wu and the others all showed strong expressions of emotion; they all knew how much it meant to them to master a new kind of food.

And judging by Master Niu's appearance, it was obvious that he would come up with more than one kind this time.

In a sense, new types of food can also be regarded as an extremely important knowledge and inheritance of a tribe; in this way, the witches who had no choice but to hand over the inheritance suddenly felt that this transaction was not worth it. What a disadvantage...

Suddenly, a series of huge yellow fruits on the thin snow attracted the attention of Mr. Niu, and he hurriedly ran all the way over; these irregularly shaped fruits were as big as a person's arms, and the smallest weight No less than ten catties.

This thing is a pumpkin! But why does it look so bad? Master Niu muttered softly.

Mang Wenyan, who has been closely following Master Niu's footsteps, intending to prevent accidents at all times, lowered his voice to remind:

Master Niu, I don't know if this is the pumpkin in your mouth, but we call it Xiegua. The shell of Xiegua is very hard, and the flesh inside is a bit bitter. If you eat too much, you will have diarrhea. It is inedible. Things, except for some large herbivorous beasts, no other wild beasts will eat these things.

While speaking, in order to prove his point, Mang took out the small stone knife on his body; Master Niu clearly saw that it took a little effort to open the leaking melon without Mang using the power of the totem. shell.

Obviously, this thing is not the same concept as the pumpkin that would rot when dropped in Master Niu's mind.

Master Niu, who was so happy for nothing, had no choice but to turn around and leave, but his heart was full of strong reluctance, because the pulp in the shell of the squash was surprisingly similar to the pulp in the pumpkin.

He stopped abruptly, but he didn't try to take another sip when he clearly knew that the flesh of Xigua was very bitter and would cause diarrhea; Find it in the huge library of downloads.

Soon a smile rose from the corner of Mr. Niu's mouth. The fruit in front of him was indeed not a pumpkin, but if the experts on the data were not talking nonsense, this thing is the ancestor of the pumpkin at all.

For a while, Master Niu, who really didn't know what to call this thing, decided to call this thing Old Pumpkin.

Considering that there are a large part of the species on the two planes that are surprisingly similar, Master Niu decided to believe what the information said.

According to the data, the ancestors of pumpkins in prehistoric times had hard shells, and only large beasts could use their teeth to eat them; at the same time, they also relied on the seeds excreted by large beasts to spread.

Moreover, most of these old pumpkins are bitter to humans, and the cucurbitacin contained in them is very harmful to the human body; eating too much is just diarrhea, which can already reflect the strong physique of these natives like livestock .

But the pumpkins in the modern plane were gradually domesticated based on these old pumpkins; this also means that not all of these old pumpkins are inedible.

There will be a small part of it that is not so bitter, and the damage to primitive people is also within the acceptable range; Mr. Niu probably feels a little uncomfortable in his stomach after eating it. 1

So, under the command of Master Niu, Mang and others opened a small hole in each old pumpkin, took a little bit of it and tasted it; finally, they selected seven out of dozens of old pumpkins in this area. The old pumpkins that can be eaten weigh more than 600 catties.

To be honest, it is estimated that the taste of these seven old pumpkins is quite unpalatable after being stewed; but Master Niu is convinced that the natives have no choice when it comes to this!
