Original War

Chapter 97: A Gift for the Witch

With the end of the last hunt, the temperature gradually dropped.

Shao Xuan dragged the prey he had hunted for the last time this year and walked down from the top of the mountain.

The weather turns cold, and winter is about to usher in 30 days. Put part of the food in the ice cave of the tribe, and bring the rest down the mountain.

Another hunting team is ready to go out. They have to hurry up. When they come back, I believe it will be the time when winter is about to officially arrive.

Old Ke met with friends on the mountain, and Caesar stayed there for a while to carry his old man down the mountain. As for chatting, Shao Xuan saw it flying in the sky when he returned to the tribe. NS.

As soon as he came home, Shao Xuan saw an eagle lying on the stone table. The eagle’s head was hanging on the edge of the stone table, motionless. Shao Xuan thought that the bird’s head was broken. Fortunately, one of them was soon. When he turned over and jumped off the stone table and flapped his wings, the surrounding wooden chairs were photographed toppling.

Having grown up this way, Chacha still retains the habit of childhood. He lied on the stone table when he was fine, and threw all the things originally on the stone table to the ground. After being pumped several times by Shao Xuan, he still didn’t change it.

Looking at the eagle squeezing over, Shao Xuan cut a piece of beast meat and threw it over, “Go out to eat!”

Even if the house has been expanded, it can’t hold it from flapping its wings in the house.

After the chirping meat left, Shao Xuan planned to process the beast meat and marinate it. He looked at the stone jars in the kitchen and found that they were all full.

The kitchen is a room specially partitioned by Shao Xuan. A simple stone stove is built in it, which is more convenient than a stone pot.

I remember that there was an empty stone jar in the corner, and Shao Xuan walked over and took a look. There was an old stone tank there, which was brought by Lao Ke. It was relatively old and its mouth was cracked. There was not much water in it at all. It was just left here for the time being and planned to install other things.

There is a wooden lid on the stone jar, which has not been moved for a while, and it has been covered with a layer of dust.

Shao Xuan lifted the wooden lid and looked in, but saw a guy with a large washbasin quietly staying inside, and there were many jagged spines on his back. The water in the stone jar only slightly covers its back.

After seeing it, Shao Xuan remembered.

This turtle was caught in the fish fence during the bimonthly high tide. Shao Xuan asked Lang Ga to keep him the stew soup. Lang Ga sent it to him. Shao Xuan threw it directly into the old stone tank of Lao Ke’s house. Later, because of hunting, building a house, moving and other things, it was put on hold, Shao Xuan almost forgot about it, and Old Ke didn’t eat it, and kept it until now.

Doing the math, it’s the end of the year, and it’s been half a year, and it’s been kept in there, but it didn’t even starve to death!

Probably hungry and lacking energy, Shao Xuan poked it twice with a wooden stick, and it only moved slightly.

Shall we stew it today? Shao Xuan thought.

Was wondering whether to stew it today or raise it for a few days before stewing. Old Ke has already returned with Caesar.

Seeing Lao Ke coming in, Shao Xuan asked, “You said, did we eat it today, or should we eat it for a few days?”

“Huh? This one is still there!” Old Ke was surprised.

When Lang Ga sent this turtle, he didn’t say that Shao Xuan was going to kill it and eat it. In addition, there were Caesar and Chai in front. Old Ke thought that Shao Xuan wanted this thing back to keep it for fun. I have two, and one more is not new.

So after putting it in the stone jar, Lao Ke just added some water in every few moments, and threw some scum when he had time. He thought that Shao Xuan would take care of it, but he didn’t know it. Shao Xuan had forgotten it a long time ago. Later, after the house was expanded and moved over, Old Ke asked about the turtle again, only to realize that Shao Xuan didn’t intend to raise it. He just kept it as food, so he didn’t continue feeding. Food and pets are treated differently.

In the past, Old Ke thought pets were spare food. Later, after getting along with Caesar and Chap for a long time, he also had some feelings. Every day Caesar still carried him around, naturally he was not willing to let Caesar go hungry, but the food was different. Since human thinking is food, why should I waste things to feed it?

Once shelved, it’s now.

“Yeah, this was the time when the river rose after the full moon. A fish fence was set up beside the river to catch it. I asked Lang Ga to keep it for me to cook, and then I forgot it when I got busy. “Shao Xuan said.

“I haven’t fed it for a long time, and it’s still alive!” Old Ke said with emotion. After all, they didn’t lack food. They didn’t finish eating the first few stone tanks, and the stone tank in the corner didn’t even pay attention.

“This kind of creature is hungry, has a long lifespan, and is not easy to die.” Shao Xuan said, throwing a piece of freshly cut meat into it.

The tortoise that was originally wilting immediately bit it. When the hawk’s mouth bite the meat hard, because it was too hard, after biting the meat, it pecked on the wall of the stone tank and made a bang.

Shao Xuan looked at the inner wall of the stone tank, and found that there were various scratches and marks of mouth pecking on the inner wall. If it weren’t for the thick wall of the stone tank, it might have been pecked through. Perhaps more than half of the cracks on the stone jar are also due to it.

“Why don’t you eat it today?” Shao Xuan turned to ask Old Ke, only to find that Old Ke was staring at the turtle in the stone tank, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Axuan.” Old Ke stared at the turtle inside and said.

“what?”

“Didn’t you say that you are going to the mountains to learn from witches in winter?” Old Ke asked.

“That’s the plan, Wu also agreed.” Shao Xuandao.

“You can offer it to the witch.” Old Ke pointed his finger at the turtle who became active after eating the meat in the stone jar, and said.

“For the witch?”

The witch does not lack food, how could this be rare?

But soon, Shao Xuan also reacted. Old Ke thinks the meaning of this turtle is very good, as Shao Xuan said just now, “longevity” and “immortality”.

Shao Xuan didn’t know the meaning of the turtle here, but in his previous life, many people did regard the tortoise as a symbol of longevity, and the tortoise is indeed very strong. It has been left here for so long, and it hasn’t been hungry. Peck the tank with strength, otherwise, such a stone tank may not be able to trap it.

Think about it, when he caught it, Lang Ga tossed the prey trapped in the fish fence for a while, and then brought it over and was hungry for a long time. For nearly half a year, it really didn’t eat much. But he still survived tenaciously, which also made Old Ke believe Shao Xuan’s meaning of “longevity”.

The tribe’s residents always think that they should be dedicated to people who respect them. Of course, Old Ke is also one of them. In addition, Shao Xuan wants to learn from the witch, which is a kind of glory in his view. The tortoise, which symbolizes longevity, is dedicated to the witch, of course.

Seeing Lao Ke’s persistence, Shao Xuan would not insist on eating it, anyway, there was no shortage of food.

“All right, next time I go up the mountain to find a witch, I will take it there.” Shao Xuanying said.

Hearing this, Old Ke smiled, “Before this, I have to raise it well.”

Old Ke felt that the things dedicated to the witches must be in excellent condition, otherwise they would not show their sincerity.

So, after serving delicious food and drink for ten days, Shao Xuan grabbed the turtle’s back with both hands, turned its abdomen outwards, and half-raised it up the mountain.

On the mountain.

Wu was sitting in the stone house, holding a beast brush to record something on the animal skin roll. He was a little curious when he heard Shao Xuan come to offer food. After all, Shao Xuan’s hunting team has been back to the tribe for so many days, what can he offer now? ?

Putting down the pen, Wu raised his head and was about to say something, and he saw the turtle on Shao Xuan’s hand.

Wu’s old face twitched, and what he had planned to say was suffocated.

In the past, when other people in the tribe came to offer food, they were cut into pieces of meat, and they were treated cleanly. When they came to Shao Xuan, they brought a turtle over, and it was still alive. This turtle is growing a hook. Mouth, there are crushed sawdust around the mouth.

Obviously, this tortoise is not small in destructive power. When Shao Xuan brought it in, he still had a murderous look, and he wanted to go up and bite when he saw anything.
