Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 6: Are you fucking kidding me?!
The race lying beside him erased his face, didn't care about the swollen face and the blood from his nose, hated watching Shao Xuan pick things up. From his perspective, he can't see exactly what Shao Xuan picked up, but it must be good stone, how can he change food for a few days?
Shao Xuan could see Sai and Zheng's eyes, but he was used to this. Picked something up, looked at the sky, it's past noon, it's time to go back. Today's harvest is enough. Although there are some stones here that he thinks are good, Shao Xuanren has little power and picking up too much is not necessarily a good thing to keep.
Not enough power now, wait for later, after the so-called power of totem awakens...
Calling Caesar back to make sure that the child named Noh, who Caesar had dragged away, was still safe, and Shao Xuan left with a stone wrapped in the skin of a beast.
When Caesar returned here dragged away from the battlefield, what he saw was a race of blood on the ground and teeth cut, and a shrinking divination next to him.
The soothing race commanded Noh and Jim to go and see if they could find a better stone to exchange for something. At the same time, they were scolding each other, yelling that they would beat him back next time, and robbing Shao Xuan's things.
The three of them did not know that, not far from them, there were fighters who witnessed what had just happened, except that after Shao Xuan's departure, the fighters also left.
“Who was that kid?” There was a young warrior curious, asking the people beside him.
“The one with the wolf? It's like Xuan, in a hole at the foot of the mountain. As for the wolf, it's a witch. Don't think about it!” Older warriors warned. He doesn't know what it means to do it, he doesn't know what it means to do it, all he has to do is know that something can't be robbed. As for Xuan, in his view, he was just helping the witch raise the wolf.
The young warrior grabbed the messy hair full of stone crumbs, “I can't grab anything from the witch. Hey, I'm just looking at the kid. It's fun. When he wakes up later, his abilities won't be bad. He can recruit us to the hunting team. ”
“It's too early to say this, but we have to wait another couple of years. I see some of the kids on your side of the hill are nice. As for the kids who came out of the hole...” Older warriors shook their heads and didn't finish what they said, but they knew what they meant.
The tribal distribution is roughly three floors, and the stronger the fighters, the higher they live, the closer they are to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain, also the center of the entire tribe. I hear the tribe's fire pond is on the top of the mountain, the coldest part of the mountain.
In the view of many warriors, the children who came out of the cave woke up later than the children who lived at the foot of the mountain, and were poorly qualified, even when those children were old enough to wake up to the power of totem to go out hunting, they were reluctant to let those children into their own hunting teams. Hunting teams are concerned with teamwork, and any weak part can have unintended and devastating consequences.
Shao Xuan, walking back, did not know what the fighters were talking about or what they thought of him, but he had long guessed that there were people around him, that he had heard a lot of things and guessed some things.
Though the soldiers in the mountains don't train to take care of the surroundings, they are very sensitive to the movement around them when resting. The movement on this side will definitely attract a few fighters. There are probably several fighters around when they scream for help, but those fighters won't make it easy.
Shao Xuan also knew that, as long as it was not too serious, the warriors would only watch and stay out of the way. Just as Shao Xuan smashed a wooden stick on the ground, by that force, if he hit anything to harm Sai and Jim, there may be fear of his life, those warriors will surely attack, and Shao Xuan's impression in their hearts will be worse, which is detrimental to Shao Xuan's future survival in the tribe, so that was only a warning and deterrent to Sai and Jim.
Shao Xuan returned fully loaded, the patrolling warriors and guards guarding along the edge of the residential area saw Shao Xuan's drum bag of beast leather bags just two words, not to grab Shao Xuan's harvest today, they don't necessarily see Shao Xuan's stuff.
Returning to the gravel ground where he boxed in the morning, Shao Xuan picked up two of the stones he picked up today and buried the rest. He doesn't have time to deal with the stones now, it's even more unlikely to bring them back to the hole, which is a group of "wolves". When he sees something, he snatches the meat and bites the little “wolves", so Shao Xuan never hides food in the hole or exchanges it for food.
After hiding, Shao Xuan sat on the ground and rested. Climbing and beating people took a lot of energy.
Shao Xuan looked at the mountains that stretched far away, looked back at the tribe's inhabited areas, and looked at the houses located near the foot of the hills at the bottom of the tribe. He looked down at the fists with dry blood on them. Only six months later, he had become a barbarian like the indigenous people, and the pressures of survival could indeed accelerate that assimilation.
What was it like in the age of civilization? Shao Xuan dreamed several times during the night, but those images were becoming blurred, clearly less than a year ago.
Although this is a little better than the original barbarians of the uncultivated cannibals described in Ishikikou, it's not much better.
In the past, even if I saw who's real parents beat up their children, Shao Xuan would try to persuade them. When adults beat up their children severely, Shao Xuan would still fight with people and not hurt their children. But now?
Of course, the circumstances are different, and tribal children are not the same children they met in their previous lives, even at the same age, with very different personalities. Those children like Kid Hole, even if they are scared this time, the next time they have to do with food, they will decisively come up and fight, and they will fight harder than one, the emotion will not converge like Shao Xuan, there are stones thrown by the hand, wooden sticks wave wooden sticks, but if you can't spell them, you will have to lose a lot. For example, don't look like Jim was shaking like that, he's scared, but next time, Jim will still wave a stick at Shao Xuan or smash a rock and follow Sai to grab Shao Xuan's things.
God knows that when Shao Xuan woke up in the hole on the first day, it was the time for food to be distributed in the hole. Faced with the sight of the wolves around him, Shao Xuan thought he had fallen into the wolf's nest. He was clearly a child, the oldest was only 13 years old, and many were six or seven years old.
Savage, contagious.
After the break, Shao Xuan took two good stones and exchanged four palm-sized trunks with a stone mason, two without bones and two with bones. The ones with bones were all given to Caesar. Shao Xuan ate one without bones himself, and the rest of the meat jerky went to replace a small piece of cheap animal skin. Winter is coming, we have to prepare more in advance.
Back in the children's cave, when the tribe sent food once a day, the people responsible for transporting it had prepared today's food and loaded it with big stone cylinders. Only warriors who have awakened the power of totem will be able to lift a stone cylinder that size.
The tribe will be responsible for the food in the cave until the child awakens the totem and the awakened child leaves the cave to build his or her own home.
Normally there is also meat, not much, that can barely sustain the most basic life of the children in the hole, after all, meat is not easy to hunt. In addition to meat, it is more often plant-based food, such as what Shao Xuan now sees called redhead fruit.
It's a kind of joe wood stem, brown red, the stem exterior has a lot of fine roots, looks a lot like plush, the size is about the same as the pumpkin Shao Xuan has seen in his previous life, and the small also has the adult fist size. The taste of this stuff is similar to potatoes, and it's also easy to be full. The only thing that bothers Shao Xuan is the subsequent effect of this redhead fruit.
In terms of pharmaceutical efficacy, red fur fruit has the effect of adjusting gastrointestinal function and managing intestinal qi. To be straightforward, this thing is ventilated, and red fur fruit has a characteristic. If you did not eat meat on the day, you only ate these red fur fruits, the ventilation effect is particularly obvious, and the direct reaction is - fart. But if you eat some meat, the reaction is less intense.
Most of the children in the cave ate and slept and ate, and the daily food source was all distributed by the tribe, and very few went out to try to get extra food, which also led to a straightening down of the air quality in the children's cave every time they ate red fruit.
Shao Xuan's face is green.
“Hey, Xuan! ”
After seeing Shao Xuan, the library responsible for distributing the food, he ran over and handed Shao Xuan a piece of cooked red fur fruit in his hand, which was quite large and significantly larger than the other children in the hole.
Ku is one of the oldest people in the cave right now, thirteen years old. In addition to Ku, there are two who have reached the age of thirteen, but neither of them is strong. Consequently, Koo has been appointed to manage the hole and assist in the distribution of food on a daily basis, with the advantage that he will be able to collect more food and thus grow stronger, unlike children living in the hole.
However, Ku usually doesn't talk to the other children in the cave. He stays out during the day and doesn't come back till lunch time. He hasn't spoken to Shao Xuan. Now he has a large piece of food. Why?
Shao Xuan looked at the eye bank and took over the red fruit.
Coop is in a good mood and a little excited.
“Xuan, I'm going to the hillside tomorrow. I'll stay there for the rest of the winter and leave the hole to you.” Coop said.
Shao Xuan almost threw away the red fruit in his hand when he heard that. Coop, regardless of what's going on in the hole, why should other older children take over? There are two 13-year-olds, and there are several 12-year-olds and 11-year-olds. Why choose who they are today?
It wasn't up to Ku to appoint someone to run it, so Shao Xuan asked: "Who said that? ”
The reservoir refers to the person responsible for transporting food every day, whose toes are shaking against the stone cylinder at the door of the finger hole and his teeth are choking by accident.
Looking at the children who robbed the cave of food, Shao Xuan now wants to grab the person in charge of transportation and ask, "Delivery, are you fucking kidding me?! ”
