Rate the wilderness

On the first morning when Chen woke up from the Xishan Cave, he was in good spirits. Because the sleeping place was warm, he slept comfortably last night.He opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Yi, which was more conspicuous than the ray of light that shone into the cave early in the morning.

Yi sat next to him, staring at his chest, intently.Chen's top slipped down, revealing a large breast, Chen didn't think there was anything worth seeing.Yi didn't realize that Chen woke up, he stretched out his hand and tried to push the clothes away, Yi finally said: "What are you doing?"

Yi was startled, he retracted his hand, and asked, "Chen, what's the matter with that wound on your chest?" Hearing Yi's question, Chen was stunned, he sat up from the ground, pulled his clothes back up, and answered : "Scratched by a wild animal."

Seeing that Chen wouldn't let him see, Yi was still very curious, and asked, "What kind of beast can scratch such a big wound." The hideous scar was very long, and there might be more than one scar, which was blocked by clothes, so Yi didn't see it. clear.

Chen Hui: "Leopard."

Yi said: "It hurts, you have many injuries, more than mine!"

Chen nodded and said, "It doesn't hurt now." This injury was left a few years ago, it's not painful, it's just ugly.

Yi sat down beside Chen, watching Chen fold the bald bear skin and put it beside him, he couldn't help but glance at his messy bedroom next door.Chen took out a bamboo tube containing water from his leather pocket, and Yi immediately said courteously, "I'll help you fill the water." He hooked off the rope of the bamboo tube, picked it up and left.

Not long after, Yi came back with a bamboo tube full of clear water.Chen took the bamboo tube and asked him, "Yi, don't you need to go hunting?"

In the morning of the West Mountain Cave, there were only a few people left in the cave, and everyone else went out to work, those who should hunt hunted, and those who should gather should gather.

Yi He said naturally, "I'll take care of you, okay?"

Chen Moran, he unpacked the powder, mixed the powder with water, and stirred it evenly on a piece of pottery.Yi wanted to help, but Chen said, "I don't need you to take care of me."

Yi squatted aside boredly, with a bit of aggrieved look.

He has always been used to taking care of himself, but Chen is fully capable of applying medicine to his injured feet.After applying the medicine powder to the wound, Chen looked up to see Yi, and found that he was gone. The place where he was squatting was empty, and there was a feeling of emptiness in his heart for a moment.

In the huge cave, there were only two or three figures, and on Chen's side, he was alone.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before Yi suddenly appeared again, holding a bowl in his hand, and said from a distance: "There is only one bowl left, porcupine soup, it's delicious!" He came to Chen, happily stuffed the bowl To Chen.

Chen held the bowl, his eyelids drooped, thoughtful.Yi squatted on the ground with his feet spread apart, his elbows on his thighs, his chin resting on his cheek, and he looked at Chen, as if he was urging: drink quickly.

Gu Gu finished the soup and ate the meat, and waited for Chen to look up at Yi, only to find that he had disappeared again.

This time Yi really had to leave and didn't show up again, probably to go hunting.

Chen was sleeping to heal his wounds. He didn't know how long he had slept. He felt someone pulling his hair. When he opened his eyes, he saw that there were three children beside him.The one pulling his hair was a little baby, and the other two older children were playing with Chen's little fire drill bow.

When the two children saw Chen wake up, one said: "He woke up." The other said: "Will he hit us?" The items inside were also dug out and scattered all over the place.

Chen: "..."

Chen sat up, and the two children ran away wittily, leaving only the little baby.The baby climbed onto Chen's lap, grabbed his leather apron, and gnawed at it. The leather apron hadn't been washed for a long time.Chen picked him up and was about to put him aside when he suddenly burst into tears.

The crying soon attracted a woman, who smiled and gave the baby a wooden deer. She asked Chen: "Where are the big head and the caterpillar?" Chen paused, and he pointed to the opening of the hole. Hanging on the treetop, picking fruit from the tree.Probably the skins of the children in Xishan Cave are of the same origin.

The woman shook her head and said, "Ask them to help watch the laying of eggs, and then run out to play again. I have to dry the meat on the top of the mountain, and if I leave it there, there will be worms."

Dan'er was gnawing on the little wooden deer, gnawing on the little deer and getting saliva all over the place. He was playing by himself, and seemed to be quite obedient.

Chen said: "I see him."

The woman laughed and said, "He is very good, but he likes to crawl."

After the woman left, Chen Qu raised one foot and put his hands on his lap. He listened to the sound of children playing outside the cave, and looked at the eggs beside him who were still eating the deer's eggs with relish.

In the evening, when the hunting team came back, Chen Jianyi also came back.

Yi carried a deer, talking and laughing with his hunting companions. The girls of the tribe gathered around him, some gave him soup, and some stuffed him with fruit.It can be seen that he is very popular with the clan.

By the fire pit, people began to get busy preparing dinner.

The sky outside the cave gradually darkened, and the smell of food radiated from the cave, and the people in the Xishan Cave gathered together for dinner.Chen was sitting in the corner, touching his injured foot melancholy, when he suddenly heard voices approaching, and when he looked up, he saw Yi and his partner.Yi was carrying a roasted rabbit, a new leather strap over his shoulder, and a bowl of broth on his long legs.

Changjiao also put the broth on the ground, watched Yisai baked rabbits and new skins for Chen, and said enviously: "I fell off the cliff that time, and I never saw you treat me so well."

"It's different. You didn't fall because of me. Chen was injured because of me." Yi Huan made sense.

At night, when Chen was full of food and drink, he wrapped himself in a new leather bag and was about to fall asleep. Next to him lay Yi who was still sound asleep.Such a night is inexplicably reassuring.

Chen spent three days recovering from his injuries in the star cave. Because he was taken care of by others and he ate well, he recovered quickly.The originally disheveled face also turned bloody, and she didn't look so haggard.

However, Chen hadn't started hunting yet, so Zhu Maoya told him to heal his injuries first.

During the day, the young and strong in the cave went out one after another, and Chen was left behind.He will find something to do for himself, go outside to gather dead wood, add fire to the fire pit, or cut weeds and feed pigs and sheep.

Sometimes I also make tools, bring eggs, or take care of the group of brats in the West Mountain Cave.

The Xishan Cave people are better at hunting than the Xing Cave people, so they don't lack food, but they are not as particular about making tools as the Xing Cave people.Take fire-drilling tools as an example. People in Xingcave used small wooden bows to drill fire, while people in Xishan Cave still rubbed sticks with both hands to drill fire.

Chen had nothing to do, so he sat by the fire pit and made small wooden bows. He gave Yi the first fire-drilling small wooden bow he made in Xishan Cave.Later, Chang Jiao also asked him for money, so Chen also gave him a hand.

At this time, the fire drilling bow that Chen was making was for the Black Badger.

Black Badger is a man of few words. One day he and his father came back from hunting early and saw Chen making tools by the fire pit. He sat aside and watched all afternoon.Chen is also a person who doesn't talk much, and the two just sat together like this, silently, as if there was a kind of tacit understanding.

The Fire Drilling Small Wooden Bow is really convenient and easy to use, and soon people in Xishan Cave are making and using it.

Unknowingly, the Xishan Cave people got used to Chen, a newcomer, and Chen healed up.After his physical recovery, he began to show his other talent - bow and arrow.

While recuperating from his injuries, his skills were unfamiliar. In order to practice archery, Chen hung a prey on a tree, stood far away, and drew a bow to shoot arrows.He practiced silently, and the arrows he shot hit almost every shot.

At first, there was Claw Hen standing beside him, and then both Zhu Maoya and Zhu Maoxiang came over.

Zhu Maoxiang looked at the free-range chicken on the tree that had been shot into a hedgehog, and asked Chen, "Who did you learn bow and arrow from in the star cave?" Chen pulled the arrow from the prey, took back the quiver, looked up and said: "Spear hunting, he taught me the bow and arrow."

Zhu Maoya and Claw Hen looked at each other, they knew Hunting Spear, he was an old hunter in Star Cave, once famous.

Zhu Mao asked, "So it was Hunting Spear. Is he still alive?"

Chen shook his head sadly.

Mo Wen, who was watching from the side, asked Chang Jiaoyi: "Who is the hunting spear?" Chang Jiao also shook his head, he did not know him.

Black Badger hugged his chest and said, "He is a ring warrior in the star cave."

Mo asked: "Is it very powerful?"

The black badger ignored him, since he was the feather ring warrior of the star cave, of course he was powerful, so this question was for nothing.

On Chen's side, Zhu Maoxiang was still asking him something, as he was talking, Zhu Maoxiang called his long feet over for some reason.The long legs were also reluctant to go, he guessed quite right, and sure enough his father Zhu Mao said to him, "Yeah, you can compete with him."

Long Feet can also use bows and arrows. Among the hunters who use spears in Xishan Cave, his archery ability is particularly outstanding.

So the free range chicken was hung on the tree again, and the long legs shot six arrows at it, each of which hit the target.Wiping his nose with bare feet, he raised his eyes to look at Zhu Maoxiang, as if saying: "I can do it too."

Zhu Mao pointed to the position where Chen was standing drawing the bow, and then pointed to the position where Chang Jiaoyi was standing. Chen was standing farther away from the prey, and he said, "It's too bad." Chang Jiaoyi was a little unhappy. He held the bow and returned: "If the deer is so far away, of course the spear will be changed, and the arrow will not kill you."

As if reminded, Claw Hen asked Chen: "How is your spear?"

Chen Hui: "On weekdays, arrows are used for hunting, and spears are rarely used."

Probably intending to test Chen's skills, Zhu Mao asked Changjiao to compete with Chen.Changjiao also carried a spear, looking at Mo and Black Badger who were watching, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Changjiaoyi's spear was also used very well. Chen fought against him and was defeated in a few hits.

"No, I still have to practice." Claw Hen frowned and shook his head, looking at Chen who was knocked to the ground.

Zhu Maoya raised his eyebrows: "You teach him?"

Chen sat up from the ground, and stretched out his long legs to give him a hand, disgusted with Chen's spear: "Your spear is too soft, you can't hold it hard." Chen patted the sand on his body, shook his head and said, "Change it to someone else. I can't beat you with a spear." This long-legged boy is an excellent hunter, Chen can tell.

Adult hunters in Xishan Cave all used black spears from the thorn forest, while Chen used spears made of ordinary wood.

Claw Hen asked Zhu Maoya, "Do you still have Black Spear?"

Zhu Maoya replied: "There are more."

"He's good at bows and arrows, and his skills aren't bad either." Claw marks looked a little different, not only that, after recovering, Chen no longer looked sick, his figure was tall and straight, and his demeanor was calm.

"It will be easier than you to teach." Zhu Maoya also felt that Chen's ability would not be bad.When Yi was young, because Zhu Maoya was too strict with him, he was always scolded. He didn't like to learn spear from Zhu Maoya, but it was Claw Hen who taught him later.

"I'm afraid that he will go back to the star cave after he has learned it." Claw Hen was a little worried, afraid of making enemies for his own people.

At this time, Chen had already packed his bow and arrows and returned to the cave, but did not hear their conversation.

When Chen and Chang Jiao also competed, Yi happened to follow Lao Mu and his son to set traps in the forest to hunt, but failed to see.It was only after he came back that he realized that the long legs had also knocked Chen to the ground.

At dusk, by the fire pit.

Yi gnawed at the meat and said: "It's good that he's injured, of course he can't beat me, just like you can't beat me." Angrily, Changjiao wanted to poke him with a burning log, saying to him: "I can't win You, I can't beat Chen?"

"Take it away!" Yi dodged left and right.

Mo was roasting a chicken. He lowered his head and smelled the aroma. He felt that it was cooked. He tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Chen, saying, "Chen, I'll give you the chicken leg." Chen took it with a faint smile on his face.

The author has something to say: Yi: He is a wounded person, yet you beat him hard!

Long legs also: see sex and forget friends, have wives and sell friends.
