I don't know how long it took, but Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes amidst the sound of snoring. There was soft hay under him, which was very comfortable.
In the dark cave, only a ray of sunlight filtered through the entrance, barely allowing Lin Xiao to see clearly the surrounding environment.
There was a child sitting next to him, with a tattered animal skin wrapped around his waist. The thin child was sleeping against the mountain wall with his mouth open and snoring like a sky.
There is an unpleasant stench in the cave.
He was saved by primitive people?
But the next moment Lin Xiao lost the ability to think. He staggered out of the cave. Below the cave were several simple houses made of wood and mud. Looking down from where he stood, the scenery was endless, and all he could think of was The words "face the loess and back to the sky".
He looked at everything around him in confusion, and with the last trace of luck, Lin Xiao comforted himself that he was only saved by the primitive people on the grassland.
Probably...maybe...
Just when Lin Xiao was secretly tangled in his heart, he found something grabbing his foot.
After being attacked by a two-meter giant wolf, Lin Xiao's nerves were still tense. Just when he was about to turn around to take a closer look, he saw a pair of dark hands picking up his trouser legs. The child smiled stupidly and opened his mouth, mumbling in a language that Lin Xiao couldn't understand.
However, after Lin Xiao saw the little kid's appearance through the sunlight outside the cave, even his last hope was shattered.
There should be no primitive people with yellow skin, black eyes, and standard Asian faces in the African grasslands, right?
Lin Xiao stood there in despair. He realized that he had traveled through time, and even traveled back to the worst primitive era.
The kid who was looking around with Lin Xiao's clothes suddenly flashed a light in his eyes. He let go of Lin Xiao's trouser legs with a whoosh, and ran quickly towards another primitive man who was walking towards the entrance of the cave.Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment... This kid was faster than a dog.
Forgive Lin Xiao for not being able to find an adjective, but he now doubted that the two black figures he saw before fainting were not predators at all, but the large and small primitive people in front of him.
The young primitive man's voice was very clean, and he lowered his voice slightly when speaking. He said something to the child, and then the child reluctantly let go of the hand that was holding the meat.
Lin Xiao felt even more uncomfortable when he saw this scene. The two primitive people chatted for a long time, but he didn't understand a word.
The young primitive man looked at Lin Xiao, stepped forward and said a few words to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao shook his head blankly. He really didn't know what this guy was mumbling. He didn't understand those weird intonations and words. Don't even understand.
The young primitive man frowned slightly and looked down at the child, seemingly asking about the situation.
The little kid pointed at Lin Xiao and said something. The young primitive thought for a moment, then walked up to Lin Xiao in three steps and two at a time, pointed at himself, made a weird pronunciation, and pointed at the little kid again. The child made another strange monosyllabic pronunciation.
Lin Xiao guessed that the young primitive man was briefly introducing their names to him. After a brief introduction, the young primitive man picked up a tree branch and drew a picture on the mud. Although in Lin Xiao's eyes, the painting His nephew, who is two years older, is not as good at drawing simple figures, but this does not affect their communication.
After communicating with the stick figures, Lin Xiao finally figured out what was going on. Two primitive people, one big and one small, were looking for food nearby. They happened to see Lin Xiao being attacked by a giant wolf. The big primitive man took action before the tree fell to the ground. Quickly catching the unconscious Lin Xiao, the giant wolf chased the three of them... The young primitive man and his children encountered a hunting primitive man's "Tower" on the way to escape.
Lin Xiao still believed the simple drawing in the front, but the content in the back was fantasy.
According to the description of the young primitive man, this primitive man called Tower...jumped five meters high and killed the giant wolf with just one punch...and the piece of meat the young primitive man brought back was from that giant wolf. The meat was given to them by the tower.
Lin Xiao thought for a while, and probably the essence of human beings is to brag without drafting. Primitive people are also human beings, and bragging is also human nature.
In the primitive era, humans could even hunt mammoths through collective cooperation. Lin Xiao did not doubt that the meat was wolf meat, but he denied from the bottom of his heart that he jumped five meters high and shattered the wolf's skull with one punch. , after all, we are all human beings with two eyes and one nose, no one has anything more than anyone else, and we are not supermen.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao looked at the physique of the young man in front of him and curled his lips slightly. This young man had a similar physique to him. The only thing that was a little more than him was that he had strong muscles.
Although he felt that the young primitive man was bragging, Lin Xiao was very grateful to the two primitive people, the older one and the younger one. If they had not saved him, he would not be sitting here roasting wolf meat now, but the wolf would be eating his body to his heart's content. .
While the young primitive man was grilling meat, his eyes were always on Lin Xiao's wrist. Lin Xiao noticed his gaze and looked down at the mechanical watch on his wrist which only had some scratches on the surface. He took off the watch and handed it to the young man. primitive.
"Consider this a thank you gift, thank you for saving me."
The young primitive man took the watch, looked at it for a while, and babbled a lot. Seeing Lin Xiao's puzzled expression, he picked up a tree branch and drew a simple drawing on the ground.
The young primitive man put the watch on the ground and drew some pictures. Lin Xiao frowned, struggling to decipher the meaning of the primitive man's picture in front of him.
The two talked for a long time, and Lin Xiao finally figured out that this primitive man was saying that he wanted to use Lin Xiao's watch as collateral in exchange for food, and then use 'blood and fire' to become the same person as 'Ta' , and then he will help Lin Xiao redeem the watch.
Lin Xiao didn't care at all. The watch was not important to him. The most important thing now was how to survive in this hellish place. He directly put the watch into the hands of the young primitive man, and then without even looking at the watch, It means that this watch is given to young primitive people.
As for what the young primitive said about becoming the same person as 'Tower', Lin Xiao chose to ignore this information.
The young primitive man frowned slightly, as if he thought Lin Xiao didn't believe him. He muttered something to himself, raised his hands and said a bunch of weird words, as if he was swearing.
The child couldn't help but frown when he heard the young primitive man's words.
Lin Xiao didn't pay attention to these details at all. His eyes were fixed on the wolf meat being roasted on the fire.
After a piece of meat was divided by the primitive man, the primitive man took out black and yellow powder from the corner of the cave and smeared it on the surface of the meat, and then handed it to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao took a look at the black and yellow powder and seriously doubted what these things were...
When the child in the cave saw that Lin Xiao didn't answer, he drooled with greed. He grabbed the hot meat with a black grip, snatched it directly from the young primitive man's hand, grabbed it in his hand and started eating.
The young primitive man smiled helplessly, patted the children's heads with his hands, cut out a piece of meat, coated it with powder, and motioned to Lin Xiao to eat it.
Lin Xiao, who was already extremely hungry, took the meat with trembling hands and licked it tentatively.
It turns out that primitive people applied salt on the surface of meat. The kind of unprocessed salt tasted disgusting. In the past, Lin Xiao would never have even looked at such food, but now... he can eat it. Salt and meat would make him cry.
Lin Xiao gnawed the roasted wolf meat viciously, taunting in his heart: Damn dog, let's die this time! When you bullied me, did you ever expect that you would be killed in return? Human beings, you dare to eat the master of all things, you think you are killing yourself! Deserve it!
Lin Xiao noticed a detail that the young primitive man did not roast all the wolf meat, but left most of it in the corner.
The child gnawed on the meat in his mouth and ate about two-thirds of it. Suddenly, the child handed the meat to the young primitive man, mumbling in a language that Lin Xiao could not understand.
…
"Brother, you can eat the meat."
The young primitive man waved his hand, "No, you can eat it yourself, brother has it."
"Brother has meat, but brother, you have to grow taller! Only those with strong bodies can become totem warriors!" The child glanced at Lin Xiao standing aside and despised Lin Xiao's thin body.
The young primitive man smiled and touched the child's head, "You are still growing, so you can eat it yourself."
"I will use this 'watch' to exchange for meat tomorrow. If everything goes well, I will be able to collect enough food this year... in exchange for the opportunity to participate in the blood and fire sacrifice..." The young primitive man was silent for a while, "If I can use the power of totem , we won't have to go hungry in the future."
The child forced the meat in his hand into the young primitive man's hand: "So brother, you should eat more meat, grow taller, and be in good health. You will definitely be able to light the totem and gain the power of the totem! I believe in brother!"
Lin Xiao had no time to appreciate this picture of brothers and sisters, silently eating the rough meat in his hands...
In a world without light pollution, even if it is not late at night, it is already so dark outside the cave that nothing can be seen. Two primitive people, one small and one Lin Xiao, are sleeping on the hay in the cave.
From time to time, there was a cry of wild beasts outside the cave, which made Lin Xiao unable to sleep at all. He was worried that those wild beasts would break in, and he was very nervous. However, the adults and children who slept in the same cave with him did not respond. He was unguarded, sleeping like two dead pigs, snoring one after another, and it had a somewhat hypnotic effect.
Lin Xiao slept on the hay, looking out of the cave entrance in ecstasy.
It is impossible to commit suicide. He will never do such a thing in his life. Even if he has a noose around his neck and is a death row prisoner who is about to die, he is not dead yet. He may be pardoned and released one day. What's up?
If you don't want to die, then live hard!
Sunlight filtered in through the hole. Lin Xiao rubbed his eyes and got up from the hay.
The young primitive man in the cave had left without knowing when, leaving only him and the child.
The child was lying flat on the hay. A closer look showed that he was different from the relatively healthy body of a young primitive man. This child had a sallow complexion and was obviously malnourished for a long time. He needed to supplement various vitamins and of course a large amount of protein and meat. Lin Xiao Decided to start by solving the problem of self-sufficiency!
Lin Xiao patted the child's face and woke him up. The child looked at Lin Xiao in a daze, not knowing what he wanted to do
After some calculations, the child finally figured out that the ronin picked up by the two brothers wanted to go out to pick wild fruits to eat. He thought about it and nodded in agreement with the other party's request.
