Rate the wilderness

A few days ago, Yi wore a broken tiger skin, with two dead long tiger teeth hanging from his waist, pinched by claw marks and red spears, and returned to the West Cave in a splendid manner.

After returning to Xishan Cave, Yi lay down for many days to recuperate from his wounds, and his own people gave him food and drink, and collected herbs to change medicines.

On the fourth day, Yi couldn't lie down anymore, so he got up and walked around.

At noon, people went out to hunt or gather. There were only four or five naughty fur boys left in Xishan Cave, two women with babies, three old and sick, and Wu Cai who seldom went out and often stayed in the bone house.

"Where are you going?"

Wu Cai came out of the bone house, and saw his son striding out of the cave.

"I... bask in the sun, right here." Yi stepped forward and quickly retracted his feet, and sat down on a rock near the entrance of the cave.The morning sun was shining brightly on his young and energetic face.

Wu Cai knew that he wanted to bask in the sun at the entrance of the cave. The child had climbed up and down since he was a child.

"I'll come out later." Wu Cai had his own way to deal with his son.

"Oh." Yi Ying said, with frustration on his face.

When Wu Cai went back to the bone house, Yi Cai murmured: "I can't go anywhere now, hey, I wanted to sit on the top of the mountain." Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see the surrounding scenery and see the figures of people gathered from the forest.

Sitting at the entrance of the cave, the scenery is not bad. There is a piece of weeds planted on one side of the cave entrance. This is the food for feeding pigs and sheep. They grow vigorously and thrive.

In the distance, there are lush green forests, and a few mischievous children are playing and chasing nearby.One of the children was pushed by a playmate, and Gulu rolled down the low slope, was frightened, may have scratched his skin, and was crying,

"Woo...the caterpillar pushed me, woo..."

The child sat on the ground and cried, and the naughty child named Caterpillar looked down, obviously realizing that he had made a mistake.

"Don't cry, get up quickly, don't get up again, the big-toothed tiger is coming." Yi raised his hands, making the appearance of a saber-toothed tiger roaring and bright claws, roaring, imitating it quite like one thing.

"Wow..." The child cried louder and more intensely.

Yi received a slap on his shoulder, and before he turned his head, a baby who smelled of urine was stuffed into his arms.He could only helplessly hold the baby's buttocks, raised his head and said, "Sang, I am the injured person, and I don't take the baby with me."

"Dan'er is very good, please take care of it for me." Sang turned her head and smiled, and walked out of the cave.

She picked up the crying child and said a few words of comfort. After the child stopped crying, she called the other children who were playing to come over and told them not to climb up or push.

Dan'er in her arms climbed onto Yi, and Yi grabbed the swaddling clothes that wrapped him with one hand, and pulled him away from her chest. Dan'er stretched out her little fat hand and patted Yi's face, Yi looked disgusted.

When Sang came back, he saw that Yi and Dan'er were playing games, he tossed Dan'er lightly, and then caught it with one hand, Dan'er was giggling non-stop. "Do you want another one? I'll throw it away." Yi laughed, Dan'er danced and yelled.It's just a big kid with a little doll.

In the afternoon, when the hunting team came back, Yi lay on the tiger skin, looking sick.Mo and Changjiao also came to see him, Changjiao also gave him a handful of herbs, Mo asked him: "Yi, Zhu Maoya said that he would go to Baihu Lake to hunt woolly rhinoceros in a few days, when will you heal from the injury?"

"It won't heal so soon. Right now, my hand still hurts, and I can't hold the spear." Yi raised his right hand, showing his injury, without forgetting to frown.

After Mo and Changjiao also left, Zhu Maoya came over and knelt down to look at Yi, but Yi was guilty and didn't look at him.Zhu Maoya sat beside Yi, patted his head with his big hand, but never said anything.Zhu Maoya is sitting like a mountain, which is really like a mountain of fatherly love.

It is easy to feel the pressure from his side, his injury actually healed very quickly, and he is full of energy, afraid of being seen out.

Zhu Maoya patted his son's big head, then patted his shoulder, before leaving.As soon as he’s gone, Yi immediately hisses.

By the fire pit, people gathered lively, roasting the hunted spotted deer and hares, cooking wild mushroom fish soup, smelling the aroma of the food, muttering: "I can't pretend anymore."

For this meal, Yi ate two roasted rabbits, plus a big bowl of fish soup, and a handful of wild fruits.With a bulging stomach, he sat on the big rock in the middle of the cave and looked at the stars, with a young man and woman snuggling beside him.

Chang Jiao also brought his younger sister Duo over, and he moved closer to Yi, but his eyes were on the girl Zhu who was opposite.Zhu looked at them, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She has a thin waist and fat buttocks, which is very attractive to the opposite sex.

Chang Jiao also asked Yi in a low voice, with excitement in his words: "Do you think she is looking at you or me?".

"Look at you." Yi insisted.

The long legs also seemed to be encouraged, so he stood up and walked towards Zhu, but Zhu just smiled and left, not accepting his courtship.

Duo's warm body leaned closer, calling out softly: "Yi..." She is a petite girl, and her voice is always gentle when she speaks.It's easy to sit on pins and needles, and I don't know how to put my hands.

I'm a wounded person, what are you going to do?

Duo put a string of small flowers around Yi's neck, and said warmly, "Smell its fragrance, and it won't hurt anymore." These small flowers have a strong fragrance, and they are also a kind of medicinal herb, so they can be eaten.

Yi pulled out one flower, chewed it twice, and nodded in a daze.

A few days passed like this, and Yi was able to walk like a fly and climb around the cave like a tree monkey.

In the afternoon, Yi climbed to a tree on the top of the mountain, lay on the branch to bask in the sun and eat fruit, with one leg dangling in the air, very leisurely.Standing below with his arms crossed, Zhu Maoya looked up, thinking that it was time for him to be taught a lesson for his reckless adventure and breaking Zhu Mao.

Yi didn't notice Zhu Maoya's intentions until one night, when he woke up in a hurry to urinate, he realized that he was locked in a wooden cage.The wooden cage was lifted from the ground by two people, and two lambs and three pigs were lying on the ground. This is where pigs and sheep are raised in Xishan Cave.

Familiar place, familiar taste.

"I want to pee, let me out!" Yi yelled angrily.

The Xishan cave is very large and deep, with caves connecting caves, twists and turns, like a maze.Even at night, no matter how loud Yi's shout was, the people sleeping in the main hall of the cave still didn't hear it, and everyone was sound asleep.

After daybreak, Yi crouched in the wooden cage with his chin resting on his head, his eyes bleary, and a bleating sheep was under him.

"I knew he was going to lock me here. I don't know how long it will be locked up this time. I'm a wounded person." Yi sat down on the wooden cage, hanging his legs from the gap in the wooden cage.

"It's just a vermilion spear, and I didn't break it on purpose." Yi felt a little wronged, and rubbed his stomach, "I'm hungry, too! Mo! Someone!"

At noon, Changjiao brought his younger sister Duo over. He hung two grilled pork ribs on a bamboo pole, handed them to Yi in the wooden cage, and said, "This is the pork roasted from that broken red spear. Yi, I Let me tell you, Zhu Maoya is still very angry."

Yi gnawed on the ribs and said "oh".

The ribs were finished quickly, Yi looked at Changjiaoyi, and asked pitifully, "Is there any more?"

Duo hung a bamboo tube on the bamboo pole, which contained water, and handed it to the wooden cage. She said, "Yi, are you thirsty? There is water here."

Yi caught the bamboo tube and said to Changjiao, "Does the witch know that I'm locked up here?"

"I know, I just heard Wu and Zhu Maoya talk about shutting down for a day." Changjiao also replied.

"..." Yi drank the water, feeling sad and indignant.

In fact, it didn't last a day, and at dusk Yi was released, and Wu Cai called him into the bone house.Yi sat on a leg bone of the mammoth, obediently listening to Wu Cai.

"You are an adult and need a new spear. You have to go to the thorn forest and make your spear out of black wood." Wu Cai's words did not seem to be speaking to his son, but he gave instructions in a flat manner, telling She told any budding hunter in the tribe what he needed.

Yi asked, "Wu, do I want to go alone?"

Wu Cai said: "Zhu Maoya will lead you, and Mo Heyi will also go together. You are all adults."

In the West Mountain Cave, all hunters who have just grown up need to go to the thorn forest to make their own blackwood spears.This is an old custom.

"Can I go with Claw Hen?" Yi didn't want Zhu Maoya, he wanted to change.

"My son, Zhu Maoya punishes you, because you don't correct your recklessness, and one day you will lose your life." Wu Cai's words were tinged with emotion, and he said in a persuasive way: "You have grown up, you must be as fierce as a big tiger , as cautious as a rabbit, as solemn as a firehorn deer."

Yi lowered his head, he had introspected in the wooden cage.

"Go." Wu Cai could tell that her child was very smart, and he could understand the reason behind it.

Yi exited the bone house, he lifted the leather curtain, and saw Zhu Maoya standing outside with a stern face.The father and son are very similar, with a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, brave and fearless, and possess the outstanding talent of a hunter.

Zhu Maoya sternly said, "Go to the Thorn Forest tomorrow morning!".

"Understood." Yi Xin thought that luckily it wasn't him and Zhu Maoya who went to the Thorn Forest together, but also Yi and Mo.

In the setting sun forest, a red deer with a spear rooted in its body, running wildly in panic, rushed straight to the hunter in a panic.As the distance approached in an instant, Chen calmly shot an arrow and shot the red deer in the heart, ending its life.

The red deer fell heavily to the ground, and the man chasing after it shouted angrily, "This is my deer! Who told you to shoot it to death!"

Chen said coldly: "It's your deer, why didn't it die under your spear?"

In the critical situation just now, if he didn't shoot, he would be pierced through the abdomen by this fierce stag.The other party was not blind, but accused him of this.

"Dirty hair! Don't think that I dare not beat you!" The man stepped on the red deer's buttocks, pulled out his spear, and swung his weapon like a rage.

Chen silently raised his bow and arrow, he was not afraid, and had fought countless fights since he was a child.

"Qi, dirty hair, put down the bow and spear!"

There was a scolding sound, and the Huanhu Huren had come over to stop the two of them.

"Tiger, he robbed my big deer!" Qi complained to Yuhuanhu.

The ring tiger looked at the prey on the ground, and he saw a bloody hole in the red deer's buttocks, and an arrow feather in the heart.He knew what was going on, and said in a deep voice, "A deer in the forest has no owner. Whoever kills it will own it."

Chen raised his eyelids in surprise, Yu Huanhu seldom speaks for himself, although this is just a fair word, as a hunter, he knows this truth.

"Qi, let's go, go hunt another one." After all, Yu Huanhu and Qi were playmates since they were young, so he called his partner to leave, leaving Chen alone.

Chen looked at the red deer that was bigger than himself and heavier than two of himself, he didn't try to carry it, he stayed beside the red deer.

After a long time, Yu Huanhu came again, brought Fat Mu, and said to him: "You and Dirty Hair carry the deer together." Fat Mu looked at Chen inquiringly, and he hadn't spoken to Chen for several days.Chen silently worked and tied the red deer to a thick wooden stick. Fat Wood went to help, and the two worked together to lift the red deer.

Chen's foot injury had already recovered, and he didn't feel any discomfort when walking on weekdays. It was only when he was carrying such a heavy prey that he felt strenuous.

Chen walked a long way, sweating profusely.

On the return journey, Yu Huanhu walked in front of him silently, carrying a red deer on his back.The sun was slanting in the sky, and the hunting teams returned to the star cave one after another. The hunters carried their prey and walked slowly on the barren grass leading to the star cave.

At night, the sky above the star cave was full of stars, everyone gathered together, even the old, weak, sick and disabled, the food was abundant tonight, everyone ate happily, everyone laughed and laughed.The proportion of young and strong in the star cave is relatively low, and a small number of hunters have to support a large group of people, so the old and weak sometimes cannot fill their stomachs.

After the meal, the young and strong were summoned to the bone house, and a seldom-appearing wizard (wizard) came out of the bone house. He was an old man, skinny, supported by a girl.

The old man glanced at the crowd, and called out two people from the crowd: "Old Xiongpi, Yuhuanhu, you come in."

Old Xiongpi is an old hunter and is very famous in the star cave. Although Yuhuanhu is young, he is also very popular.The two entered the bone house, which was brightly lit, and after a long time, the two came out.

Yu Huanhu stood in front of the crowd, and pointed out three people: "Qi, Dabei..." He paused, looked at Chen, and called, "Chen."

The three people who were called all stood up, Qi and Da Bei looked at Chen Heng, quite disgusted.Chen looked at Yuhuanhu, he didn't understand why he clicked on him.

It seems that since killing the snake and saving the red grass, Yu Huanhu's attitude towards him has changed.

Yu Huanhu said: "Tomorrow morning, set off for the Thorny Forest."

Qi asked, "What are you going to do in the thorn forest?"

Old Xiongpi said casually: "Make a deal with the wooden shield man." He scanned the three people pointed out by Yu Huanhu, and finally landed on Chen.

The Wooden Shield people lived in the Thorny Forest, and they had a good relationship with the Star Cave, and they would trade with each other.

The author has something to say: Yi: I am a hurt person, I want to hug.

Chen: ...
