Chapter 21: Filled with Hope for the Future

  Four Husbands' Favorable Cultivation Record

  Until now, no one can defeat Yashi, and together they own Sang Zhen. It has to be said that due to Yashi's ferocity, Sang Zhen is the only one among these primitive women who hasn't been 'promiscuous'.

  It's like Silfeny, she has the most men, and other women also have two or more men. Here, this kind of thing is normal, there's no such thing as being faithful to one person forever. No one will hold grudges or seek revenge over this kind of thing.

  Mo Yi's heart was in a mess, not wanting to discuss anything about the two being in love with Fang Ge and Chu Yan anymore. She simply returned to her cave, went to bed early, as she still had to rush on the road tomorrow!

  Because this was Mo Yi's first outing after arriving in this primitive society, she woke up very early the next day, extremely excited.

  There were six people who went to the Haimu tribe together, in addition to Chu Huo and Mo Yi'er, there were four stronger men from the tribe. Going out would encounter many wild beasts and outsiders, so the danger was relatively high, and every time the tribespeople went out, the remaining tribespeople would be very worried.

  This time there was also a very weak Mo Yi'er, which made them even more worried.

  Sang Zhen got up early in the morning to roast dried meat, bringing some for them to eat on the road. Since they didn't have a water bottle, she was worried that they would get thirsty, so she fetched a lot of water from the leaves and let them drink more in the morning.

  For this idea, Mo Yier was speechless. Then she put forward her own opinion to Sang Zhen: "Whoever drinks too much will want to pee, and the water loss may be more, let's go into the forest and pick some wild fruits to bring with us, when we're thirsty, we can eat wild fruits."

  "Ah, Mo Yuer is so clever!" Sang Zhen looked at Mo Yuer with boundless admiration, making Mo Yuer laugh and cry at the same time. No choice, after all, this group of people were still primitive and uncivilized! Suddenly, she thought of something else: "Isn't there any bamboo in the forest? It can be used to make a water bottle."

  "What is a bamboo?" Sang Zhen didn't know, so Mo Yier drew a rough outline of a bamboo tube on the ground with a branch: "It's like this, it's hollow inside and can be used to hold water."

  San Zhen thought for a moment, her originally disheveled hair now hanging neatly down. This was all thanks to Mo Yi'er's influence, as the women in the tribe had also begun to appreciate cleanliness and would go to the water's edge every day to wash up. After a while, San Zhen suddenly remembered something. "There are no bamboo trees, but I know of a type of tree with a hollow heart."

  "That's great, where is it?"

  "Right by the water, I'll take you there after we finish breakfast." San Zhen said so, but Mo Yuer was already impatient.

  "I'll go find it myself and be right back." Mo Yier picked up the small stone knife and ran towards the edge of the pond.

  At this time, Chu Yan walked over and asked Sang Zhen, "Where did Mo Yier go?"

  "She went to the edge of the pond, looking for a hollow tree. I saw it by the water." Sang Zhen explained, her hands still deftly cutting meat and mushrooms for breakfast.

  Chu Huai nodded and also went to the water's edge.

  To be honest, Mo Yuer knew very few tree species. There were only five or six types of trees by the water's edge, and apart from willows, she didn't recognize any of them. Perhaps in her 21st century, these trees didn't exist yet. Ah yes, there was also a type of tree she had named "He Tree" before, which also existed by the water's edge, only much smaller than those on the forest fringe.

  Chu Yan's strides were large and his speed was fast, so Mo Yier had just arrived at the edge of the pond when Chu Yan caught up. "Mo Yier, I know which one is a hollow tree, but what do you want to use it for?"

  "Use it as a kettle, fill it with water and we'll drink on the way."

  Chu Yan heard Mo Yuer say this and revealed a very strange expression: "Are you sure?"

  "What's wrong?"

  Chu Yan didn't say anything else, he just brought Mo Yi'er in front of the hollow tree. This time, Mo Yi'er was dumbfounded. The tree was too big! Mo Yi'er stared blankly for a while before saying: "This can actually be used as a water tank."

  "Water bucket?"

  "Alright, cut it down and carry it back to the tribe. Then we can fetch more water at one time and won't have to come to the spring every time for drinking water or washing food and furs."

  Mo Yi's words made Chu Yan's eyes light up, "Indeed it's a good idea, but how are we going to cut down the tree? With stone knives?"

  Mo Yi'er suddenly thought that the tribe only had stone knives, but no stone axes. Even if they did have them, the stone axes were not sharp enough to cut down trees. "Forget it, let's talk about it when we get back. Chu Yu, can you help me break off some branches from the tree? I want to see if the branches are hollow."

  Mo Yu'er looked up at the tall trees above, some branches were very thick, if they were hollow, they could also be used to make water bottles.

  "Good." Chu Yan was also very good at climbing trees, and in a few strokes he climbed to a height of three or four meters. With one effort, he grasped a branch as thick as a child's arm, and then jumped down directly from the tree.

  Mo Ye had seen Bao Ge do this before, so she wasn't too surprised. She just observed the branch he broke off. Fortunately, the branch was also hollow. Mo Ye pulled off the small leaves on top and felt a bit frustrated - there were small holes in the branches. She could only use thin twigs to block the holes, then took it to the water pool to rinse it. Luckily, it didn't leak. "It can be used as a water bottle," she said, tilting her head back to take a sip. The water still had a faint scent of leaves, and it tasted good.

  "But what's to be done here?" Chu Yan pointed to the top of the 'water bottle', this way carrying it while walking would spill water.

  Mo Ye'er smiled mysteriously, picked a few small lotus leaves by the water pool, and among many leaves, lotus leaves are the most solid. She covered the lotus leaves on the top of the 'water pot', then found some rattan to tie the top tightly, so a simple water pot was made. She shook it hard, but the water didn't leak out. "How's that?"

  Mo Yi'er asked Chu Yan with a treasured expression, and when she saw Chu Yan's admiring gaze, a surge of pride arose in her heart.

  "That's great, I'll go pick some more." This time, without Mo Yi's instruction, Chu Yan 'rustled' up the tree to find a suitable hollow branch.

  The shape of this branch is thick at the base and thin at the tip, just like a spring bamboo shoot. Chu Yan found 6 wrist-thick branches about 50cm long, and in a short while, he made them into 6 water bottles. This time it was Chu Yan who took action, so compared to Mo Yi's first trial product, it was much better. After making them, they were filled with water and taken directly back to the tribe.

  Sang Zhen also found animal skin straps and wrapped them around the mouth of the pot to make a strap, so people going out could carry the water bottle on their backs.

  Everyone was overjoyed, so they wouldn't be parched when they couldn't find a water source.

  The busiest, the tribesmen sat around the fire pit eating breakfast. Everyone's face was filled with smiles and anticipation for the future days, they all felt that Mo Yi'er sent by the gods was to save them, they were full of hope for the future.
