Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 10: Whatever You Say, We Believe

Now Shao Xuan is at best a small-hole owner, and there are still some less peaceful kids in the hole.

The fish brought here, Shao Xuan followed the practice of the two previous warriors to remove organs, gills, etc., and there was a place in the hole where the garbage was thrown, Shao Xuan threw it directly there, where there were all kinds of leftovers, and every few days the tribe would send people to clean it up.

Aside from not being able to chew the fish body, everything else was eaten clean, leaving only a broken skeleton, and a mouthful of pointy teeth.

The child in the cave fell asleep after eating the fish. Shao Xuan left a torch, put out the fire pile, and took the torch to look deep in the cave. He was going to change some food and animal skins before winter arrived, and now he's taking over the hole, and he finds another way to fish, thinking about bringing some more people back tomorrow. More food is accumulated, winter is guaranteed, and tribes provide little food after all.

Tribes are now rushing to harvest food before the winter, and people are seen making meatloaf to preserve food every day. If more fish were available, not only would the situation improve in the hole, but fish could also be exchanged for warm fur with tribal people. Shao Xuan doesn't want to be frozen in the winter.

Walking in the hole with a torch, Shao Xuan looked at it roughly. The last time I came to see it, it was not long before I came into the world, and I got excited and walked around, and then I didn't look deep.

The so-called new officer took over three fires, and I'm in charge of my territory. The fire burned and the site had to be reprogrammed.

When the early tribes were small and small in number, they all lived here, the cave was arranged, the place where food, firewood, fur, tools and weapons were dug up, and the toilet, but then everyone went out to build a house, and the cave was used to feed helpless children, and then it started to become messy, and many places were vacant, and more than 20 children were concentrated near the cave, and there was a lot of space left.

There is also a vent deep in the hole, just because nobody walks inside for a long time, it is sealed, even if it comes in during the day, it is black.

After a rough look at the circle, Shao Xuan returned to the vicinity of the hole to lay the hay that had been exposed during the day and put out the fire heap to sleep. But tonight I don't know why, I just can't sleep. The thing in the hole, the fish in the river, the illusion you saw during the day fishing.

Think about it, Shao Xuan always feels like he has eyes on this side, but doesn't know who it is.

The fire went out and the hole was dark. The moonlight outside comes in through the vent, carrying a dark blue spot that belongs to the night.

The children in the cave were asleep and could hear the snoring. The hole had long been blocked by thick grass curtains, and there was no anomaly there.

Next to Shao Xuan, Caesar slept quietly there, and he heard no abnormal noise, proving that there should be no danger.

Is there a child in the hole who hasn't slept, staring at himself?

Shao Xuan shakes his head slightly and wraps his leather coat tightly. He intends to sleep with his eyes closed. He will also go fishing tomorrow with these little boys.

However, Shao Xuan seemed to "see" a flashing shadow. The shadow was so fast that Shao Xuan could not see clearly at all. After the shadow, another pair of eyes appeared with a light blue light.

What is it?!

Shao Xuan shocked and opened his eyes violently.

It's still the same around, dark in the hole, only where the moonlight comes in is still a little blurry.

Shao Xuan is now completely unable to sleep. He turned his back and saw the vent cut out on the wall of the upper hole.

Normally, even at night, vents don't get clogged and there's no trouble.

Thinking about it, Shao Xuan climbed up because he slept in a higher place, and now he can see the outside from the vent just by standing up.

There is moonlight outside, but be brighter in the cave so you can see the nearby scenery.

Outside the cave is a stone column nearly five meters high, which stood here in the early years, acting like a sunflower, when people living in the cave would judge roughly the time based on the shadow of the stone column in the sun. Now that all the tribesmen have left, the children living in the cave will still carve on the stone column when they go out, plus the wind and sun, the stone column is no longer what it was, the pillar pit and the depths, only a rough shape is maintained there.

And now, at the top of the stone column stands a bird.

The kind of bird Shao Xuan knew, when he first saw it, he thought it was a bat, and later he realized that it was a bird that looked like a swallow and flew extremely fast, only to move at night, and that it was meat-eating.

The tribesmen call them Night Swallow, which is similar to the little name Shao Xuan knows about bats, but it is much more ferocious than bats, and likes to live in groups, sometimes moving is a large group.

So few people in the tribe go out in the dark, and light a torch when they go out, otherwise they are vulnerable to night swallows.

Normally people can't hear this kind of night swallow, but the tribesmen say that powerful warriors can actually hear its voice. The sounds of night swallows are harsh, but most people have not heard them, only verbally.

And just as Shao Xuan looked past on the stone pillar, the night swallow resting on the stone pillar also looked sharply.

Under the moonlight, Night Swallow's eyes reflected dark blue light, just like the image that appeared in Shao Xuan's mind when he closed his eyes.

Night swallows don't come in through the vents of the holes, they like to stand in the distance and watch, then find a single target and attack them in groups. In the past six months, Shao Xuan has never seen a night swallow drill into a hole, but if anyone doesn't take a torch out at night, he will be attacked.

In a gentle breath, Shao Xuan stopped looking outside and lay down to continue sleeping.

Shao Xuan did not immediately fall asleep in peace knowing what the flashing shadows and dark blue eyes in his mind were.

Shao Xuan felt that he seemed to be able to "see" dangerous creatures in the vicinity, such as the fish in the day, and the bird standing outside now.

The next morning, the weather was clear and the sun was shining.

Shao Xuan, as usual, get up and tie up the padded hay and take it out for a while.

Clapping his hands, Shao Xuan said to the big picture lying in the hole: “Are you awake? How many people woke up and followed me fishing. ”

No movement.

“Fish can be eaten, like yesterday.” Shao Xuan continued.

A little bit of movement, but not much.

Some children still fall asleep, thunder can't wake up, and some, even if they wake up, have to wrangle again to hear Shao Xuan's words. After all, the habits that have been cultivated for a long time cannot be changed because Shao Xuan said so. They are used to sleeping at this time of day, sleeping until the afternoon to wait for food to be distributed. Others, even if they opened their eyes, were not awake and went back to sleep after a beating.

Ultimately, only four of the 20 people followed Shao Xuan, and the two oldest people in the cave were among them. The other two, one called the slaughter, were timid and blind to such a hegemonic name; the other called Ba, the child talked a little stubborn and had a relatively thick personality, except, of course, when grabbing food. These two children are 11 years old, but the physical difference is obvious. Bobby is one head taller than the slaughter. He looks about the same as the two oldest 13-year-olds in the cave. The slaughter is very thin, similar to Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan asked Caesar to dig up some stoneworms, the grass rope was still used yesterday, the black hemisphere that floated on the water also held it, and then took four children to the riverbank.

The two warriors who were in charge today or yesterday did not return last night and had to watch for three nights in a row to replace the others. I saw Shao Xuan and said hello with a smile and a few words.

This makes the other four kids in the cave rare, and they don't usually walk around the tribe like this. Two older children were less willing to compete with Shao Xuan because of what happened last night. Seeing this situation now makes their minds fade even less. In their view, people who get along well with tribal warriors always get a lot of benefits, and people who get in trouble help, just like the previous library, because they know some people on the hillside, they usually get a lot of envy.

Shao Xuan prepared the things and told the four people what to do later.

“… that's it, it's simple, follow me for a while, just do what I say, and we'll catch the fish and we'll eat it ourselves. ”

As soon as they heard the food, the eyes of all four people were lit up, and the worried look on the river dissipated.

The length of the grass rope was limited, and Shao Xuan did not intend to throw the bait away or ask Caesar to help. The last four children took Caesar's place yesterday, and Caesar squatted quietly beside him.

Four children hold the grass rope and are all nervous, with the excitement of fishing for the first time in addition to the nervousness of first-time contact with river life.

“Okay, don't move now. I'll give you my word later.” After Shao Xuan threw the bait, he stared at the water and said.

Soon there was movement in the water. After fishing for the third time, Shao Xuan had experience and immediately shouted: "Pull! ”

Hearing Shao Xuan, the four children tightened the grass rope and held their strength back.

After all, the four children were better than Caesar, and this time the fish was pulled smoothly. The fish pulled up is about the same as the first catch Shao Xuan caught yesterday.

For the first time, the four children saw the living fish, or this extremely lethal, and immediately after Shao Xuan let them go, he picked up the wooden stick with him and smashed it towards the fish. Especially the slaughter, the cowardice leaned forward, while waving the wooden stick and beating the fish head, he shouted in horror, and heard Shao Xuan want to beat him up.

“All right, all right! Stop!" Shao Xuan stopped them and pulled away the four children who were swinging their sticks around the fish.

Shao Xuan told them about the dangers of this kind of fish from the beginning, so that they could carry long tools and be more careful when fighting fish. Now, four children are prepared, unfortunately the first time fishing, for them is the first time in their lives hunting, too excited, all kinds of emotions mixed together, when they do it, they are completely suffocated and harsh, all their energy is released, four people together, just for a moment, when Shao Xuan pulls them away and looks at the fish... it's called a miserable sight.

How can you eat if you hit like this?

The first fish was thrown aside first, Shao Xuan commanded them to catch the second one. Finally, the fish was kept intact this time, the fish was killed and the guts were removed. Then he went to the two warriors to borrow fire, and the fish was roasted.

The fish that Shao Xuan brought back to the hole last night, although it looked bigger, had too many bones, a small proportion of them could be eaten, and with more than 20 children in the hole, it was rarely divided into each person's mouth. But not today.

Half-metre long fish for five, more fish bones, and everyone can eat a lot.

All four children were excited, lacking speech and not knowing how to express themselves, but had to worry about eating, so they laughed and laughed like * *.

“Delicious.” Slaughter said.

“Well, eat fish for brains.” Shao Xuando.

“What is brain repair?” A child asks.

Shao Xuan thought about it and briefly explained: “That you will grow better. ”

“More… better, is… not… just… can become… stronger… big? Same as... Fig... Totem... Warrior...?” Stuff asks.

When he heard the stutter, the other three children also looked up at Shao Xuan and saw the light shining in his eyes.

The children in the cave, though so fierce, do not hide their emotions and can see what they think.

And at this moment, the four children looked at Shao Xuan's expression and seemed to be urging Shao Xuan: you say it quickly, we believe in anything you say, as long as it's good.

Therefore, Shao Xuan swallowed the words that were about to exit again, and after a pause, he unwillingly “hmm”.

The river buffered and the water seemed calm, but just now, Shao Xuan “saw" a fish mouth with sharp teeth, much bigger than yesterday, but the image was faint, probably the big fish was far away.

Danger and opportunity coexist in the freshwater river on the edge.

Winter rations, right here. Shao Xuan thought.
