Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 9: The Most Beautiful Word in the World
The second time Shao Xuan dragged the fish ashore was slightly bigger than the one just now. He didn't let the soldier help stab him to death with a spear. Shao Xuan smashed the fish with a stone. Even if he just passed out and left the water, the fish would not live long.
The fish was tied to a rope and hung from the tree. Shao Xuan took out the little spot he had dragged up earlier and stabbed a pair of pierced fish, and found several dry branches.
Looking around, Shao Xuan noticed the two warriors guarding the riverbank looking at this side curiously and waved up.
Returning to the guard post, the two fighters hesitated, still unable to contain their curiosity, and walked over.
“Xuan, what are you doing? Want me to help?” The warrior who had fished before rubbed his hands, he had asked Shao Xuan's name, "he said.
They were both hesitant and curious about the creature "fish," but now that the fish were all dead, the sentiments of hesitancy were cast aside, leaving only the curiosity of the new prey that belonged to the hunter.
“I got it, I got it! Didn't you just kill him?” Another warrior squeezed the former away, pulled out a stone knife and grabbed the fish, ripped open his belly and talked to his companion.
“Is this intestine? How could it be so short..."
“Where's his stomach? Is this it? ”
“No, it's this, this must be the stomach! ”
“Careful... what is this? Don't break it, I don't know if there's a poison bag...”
“Where's the heart? Take a closer look at the knife... hey can you please, the fish is bleeding so much, the knife is unstable, I can't...”
The two warriors over there had a heated discussion and stood next to Shao Xuan.
Is this a hunting soldier? This Nima is actually a freak forensic, isn't she?
Two excess curiosity anatomy enthusiasts!
No matter how fractured Shao Xuan's impression of these two people is, it has to be said that they are indeed a good hand in dissection and can be resolved quickly even if it is only the first time they come into contact with a fish. While dissecting, tell Shao Xuan about the things they need to pay attention to when hunting in the mountain forest, such as which animals have toxic guts, which carry poison bags, which animals have better guts, etc. For the sake of safety, strangers never eat their guts.
Soon, all that remained was a fish whose guts had been emptied, whose heads had been opened several times, and whose gills had been dug.
“There's not much to eat. It's good to be able to afford it.” The warrior with the stone knife wiped the blood from the knife, "he said.
Instead of washing it in the river, the two warriors simply wiped the blood off the fish with leaves, wrapped it around the guts of the fish and dug a pit next to a tree to bury it. Bloody smells may attract other things, but on the banks of the river, besides flying in the air, there may be creatures that are sensitive to bloody smells in the water, and they have to be cautious and mention something similar to what happened to Shao Xuan in the future.
Instead of being as primitive as Shao Xuan had initially imagined, the tools used in the tribe to extract fire were powdered by a powder. Every warrior carries that kind of powder, and when you want to ignite it, you take out a spoonful of stone tools, and a pestle, and you put a little powder in the spoonful of tools, and you grind it quickly with a pestle, and soon those powders burn, and the spoonful of tools becomes a little torch, and you light hay and branches.
Shao Xuan was very surprised when he first saw the grid ignition in the hole that was responsible for transporting food. He had thought that such a tribe would use diamonds to ignite fires or use flint stones and other things, but did not expect such a convenient and quick tool. Their children in the cave do not have such firearms and must wait for the fighter to leave to become self-reliant before they can possess their own.
Sometimes looking at this tribe, Shao Xuan feels a strange contradiction, as if the technology mastered is not in harmony with the development of the tribe today.
Doubt is doubtful, and Shao Xuan has not studied it.
After baking the fish, one of the warriors tried it and made sure it was okay. After the taste was good, the three of them ate the fish. This food is not enough for the two warriors, and Caesar is still not very enthusiastic about cooking food. He is not interested in eating at all, only Shao Xuan is satisfied.
After eating the fish, the fish bones were taken over by the two warriors and said to keep it as a souvenir. Shao Xuan felt that these two people actually wanted to take back to show off with their hunting team mates.
Then the two fighters continued to stand guard, and Shao Xuan took Caesar and dragged the dead fish tied with a rope back to the hole.
The sky has darkened, some of the children in the cave are already asleep, sleepless are brewing sleep, or, wait for Shao Xuan to return.
There is a fire pile in the cave, every day the food transporter will come to light a small fire pile in the evening, let the children in the cave heat or bake food, etc., to light the fire for the children in the cave. Previously, the library was responsible for putting out the fire pile before going to bed, it is Shao Xuan's turn from now on.
Standing in the cave, Shao Xuan asked Caesar to wait outside the cave, then he took a deep breath and walked into the cave.
The child who was not asleep was a little older. He did not know what he was thinking around the fire. When he saw Shao Xuan come in, his gaze moved with him. Shao Xuan can feel these hostile sights. After all, Shao Xuan robbed them of the position they had been thinking about for a long time.
After Shao Xuan entered the cave, he climbed onto a large, nearly one-metre tall grinding stone on the side of the cave. Usually this is where the library is used to divide food, and you can see every part of the cave.
The older children came this way. Shao Xuan glanced at them and clapped his hands. "Wake up, all those who haven't slept! ”
Everyone else in the cave gradually came in, except for sleeping too hard.
When Shao Xuan saw someone coming, he looked at the people in front of him and said: “I know you're not comfortable with me taking over Ku's post. You want to kick me out, come up yourself. At this time, you won't sleep and wait for me here. But this is Uncle G's call, you have any grievances, grievances, suggestions and opinions, don't point at me, it's useless, you have the guts to find Uncle G! ”
Several children frowned in front of them, obviously thinking about the feasibility of finding a grid. Talk to Grigg? Will Gertrude be angry? Will you stop sending food when you're angry? Don't you have to go hungry without food? I don't think so. After all, older people think a little more than other young children.
Shao Xuan looked that way and continued: “Have you ever wondered why I am smaller than you, taller than you, stronger than you, why did Uncle Ge let me handle this?! ”
'Cause I'm better than you! More than you can do! ”Strong words, lying faces don't need to be discolored. Shao Xuan doesn't know what the cook's thinking? He also intends to have a proper conversation tomorrow. But for now, all he has to do is shut it down, and shock the little“ wolves "in the hole, or he has to keep them from getting into trouble.
It's not that Shao Xuan doesn't want to use a soothing method. It's just that these kids are too hard to make sense, and according to Shao Xuan's observation, what Ger decided won't change for a while and a half, so since he put Shao Xuan in charge of this hole, it will definitely last for a while, even longer. Shao Xuan had to solve the problem from the beginning. Not strong enough.
The people in front of him heard Shao Xuan's words and he was furious. One of them even got his eyebrows up quickly. But he didn't say anything yet. Shao Xuan yelled back: “Shut up! ”
Shao Xuan shouted out of the hole: "Caesar! ”
Wait for Caesar outside the hole to bite the grass rope and drag the bound fish in.
The people in the cave looked at Caesar in the cave until Shao Xuan went to fetch the dragged fish and noticed that there was something else pulling into the cave.
“This thing, I hunted! ”
Shao Xuan untied the grass rope tied to the fish, revealed the true body of the fish, and held the tail of the fish so that the group could take a good look.
Many fish don't have eyelids, they don't blink, and even if they die, they keep their eyes wide open.
Under the less bright fire, the fish's original red eyes appeared a little strange and dark, the wide mouth opened, as Shao Xuan's hand swayed, one by one, surrounding children could see the fish mouth filled with countless sharp teeth, the scales of the fish body were wiped off the dust, reflecting the cold light, which added a little bit of cold to the already cold night.
Several children who had just hummed towards Shao Xuan could not help but retreat a few steps. At the same time, the eyes of Shao Xuan became cautious by the initial provocation and hostility.
Tribes admire the powerful, and powerful fighters in tribes are admired by the entire tribe, and many times they prefer simpler and more direct methods, such as violence, to solve problems. But in addition to direct warfare, you can judge the power gap between the two sides based on their prey, which is better and proves you are stronger than others.
And now, the cave is full of children who have not awakened the power of totem, who have not yet become totem warriors, who cannot go out hunting, and who cannot get their prey unless they are robbed. Not to mention getting a prey that looks like this.
It's not easy to deal with at first glance. Look at that tooth. How much meat can you lose after being scratched by it?
“Can you hunt? Can you hunt a prey like this? Or can you get something else to eat?! You? You or you? Which of you can do it? ”
The children Shao Xuan spotted shrunk back and shook their heads.
“You can't! If you can't, hold all the grievances, all the emotions! ”
Beat a stick and give a sweet date. Of course you have to calm down after putting the harsh words down.
Shao Xuan lifted the fish.
“This is my first day in office, a gift for everyone! ”
After Shao Xuan finished, the cave was quiet for a while before a child shook and asked: “What is the ‘gift'? ”
And the older one goes, “Can you eat? ”
Shao Xuan choked: "… Yes.” My heart is tired.
Cock--
The atmosphere in the hole suddenly warmed up.
What dissatisfaction, what caution, what resentment, are all thrown out.
“Eat” is probably the most beautiful word in the world for them.
