Rate the wilderness

The road to the thorn forest is not easy, the mountain forest on the road is desolate, it is completely different from the sunset forest with lush trees and rich species.This is the first time for Chen to come here. He has never been out of Sunset Forest before, and the world he sees is very small.Old Xiongpi led the way, he was familiar with the thorn forest, and he talked with Yu Huanhu and others about the situation of the Wooden Shield tribe.

They carried mammoth fur, ivory, deer hair and antlers, and each of them carried a heavy bag.

Chen didn't participate in the discussion of Lao Xiongpi and the others, and seemed alienated.He has a bad relationship with Qi, and Old Xiongpi is Qi's father, so he has no partner in this team.

The residence of the Mudun people is on a bare rocky mountain. From the outside, it is hard to imagine that there are people living there.The old bear belt led the people to the foot of the mountain, and the wooden shield man patrolling the entrance of the cave led them into the cave to meet their wooden shield witch.

The costumes of the wooden shield people are different from the tribes in the setting sun forest. They all wear short animal skin clothes and their upper body is bare.The men held wooden shields and spears, and all of them were fierce and aggressive warriors.

Entering the wooden shield man's cave, seeing the wooden shield witch, the old bear skin said to her: "Wooden shield witch, we are here to trade."

Wooden Shield Witch was wearing a rat-tailed coat with a lot of shells on it. She was a rich witch, and she asked indifferently: "Old bear skin, what did you bring this time?"

Old Bear Pi signaled everyone to present the goods, and soon mammoth skins, ivory and other things were piled up on the ground, and Chen was responsible for carrying the antlers, which were also put on the ground.

The wooden shield witch looked at the goods of the Star Cave Man, and seemed to be satisfied. She raised her head and asked the old bear skin: "What do you want to change?"

The old bear reported their needs: "Salt, red sand (cinnabar), stone spear."

"You stay here first, my clansmen will entertain you, and tomorrow you will have what you want." Wooden Shield Witch raised her long and thin arm, beckoning everyone to rest in the cave hall.What the old bear skin needs needs to be prepared, especially the cinnabar needs to be obtained by grinding the ore, which is quite time-consuming.

Old Bearpier is an old friend of the Wooden Shield Man. He walked leisurely in the cave and inspected the people who lived there. He found that the number of people was much less than before, especially the men.It was almost dark at this time, and the hunting team had returned early.

Old Xiongpi sensed something was wrong and asked, "Mu Dunwu, why are there only so many of you left?"

"The blue-faced men attacked our tribe, the men died, and the children who should have been born were not born." The wooden shield witch looked sad, "Our tribe is declining, like a big tree with fallen leaves."

Old Xiongpi was obviously surprised: "Wooden Shield Witch, when will the blue-faced man come over?"

"When the weather just warmed up, they came in from the north, like a pack of wolves catching spotted deer." Mu Dunwu looked at the young man brought by the old bear skin, and said, "Be careful, the snow on the mountain can no longer stop them .”

With these words, Wooden Shield Witch staggered back to her chamber at the top of the cave.Yu Huanhu was concerned, and asked Old Xiongpi: "Who is the blue-faced man she mentioned?"

"Brutal people like long-toothed tigers. They kill anyone they see, even women and children. They haven't appeared in the thorn forest for many years." Old Xiongpi is the most knowledgeable person in the star cave, not only because He has been to many places because of his long life.

For these star cave youths, the blue-faced man is just a misty title, and they don't feel at ease.

At night, a raging fire is lit in the Mudun people's caves to cook food and entertain guests. The food of the Mudun people is mainly small animals in the forest.Although the thorn forest is desolate, there is a salt lake, so the Mudun tribe is rich and often communicates with the Sifang tribe.

After a full meal, Chen noticed that the companions in the star cave were gone, he raised his head, just in time to see Yu Huanhu holding a woman's hand and leaving.Chen didn't pay attention to the woman around him, or wanted to invite, he only focused on the food.Reproduction is an instinct, and this instinct doesn't work on Chen for some reason.

Chen got up to leave and walked towards the entrance of the cave. He saw the old bear sitting under a bald tree.He was going to leave, but he didn't want Old Xiongpi to speak, so he asked him: "Dirty Mao, can't you? I haven't seen you getting along with anyone in the star cave."

In the star cave, Chen and Old Xiongpi hardly spoke, but they knew that he had been a hunting partner of Spear.

Chen sat on a rock not far from the old bear skin. He looked up at the bleak moon in the strange valley, feeling inexplicably disappointed.

This place is far away from the star cave, and if you go further, you don't know where it will lead, it is a place he doesn't know.Maybe it's because the surroundings are too lonely, maybe it's because the old bear took the initiative to chat with him, he asked sadly: "Old bear, do you know where I come from?"

Along the way, Chen knew that he was very knowledgeable, thinking he should be able to explain my life experience, right?

Old Xiongpi didn't expect Chen to ask him about this suddenly, he paused, and then said: "You came from a very far place, in the south where the bamboo grows."

Chen was surprised, the first time he heard that he was from the south, he asked: "Then how did I come here?"

"In your mother's womb, you follow her here." Old Xiongpi was still very young back then, and he remembered Chen's mother as a fair and beautiful woman.

Chen has never met his mother. He wanted to know more about his mother, but he didn't seem to want to know. He was very conflicted, so he didn't ask further.It should be a large group of people who migrated from such a distant place, but where did they end up?Chen felt that he shouldn't care.

The people who accompanied him since childhood treated him like this, let alone those who didn't know each other at all.

Chen sat outside for a while, but couldn't stand the cold, so he returned to the cave.Before leaving, I saw the old bear skin sitting there, covered with moonlight.

The people in the cave slept together in twos and threes, and Chen also found an open space to lie down. He was tired from traveling during the day.Chen fell asleep in a daze. In his sleep, he felt that someone was touching him. He opened his eyes and saw a pair of hairy hands touching his body.The man smelled fishy, ​​a strong and tall man with a fierce face.Chen turned over and pushed the opponent away vigorously, aggressively, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing, and he was very annoyed.The man backed away awkwardly, and Chen went to a place that was few and empty.It looked quiet there, and the light of the fire could faintly shine.

Chen closed his eyes, and before falling asleep, he heard panting sounds from behind him, one of the voices was quite familiar, it was Yuhuanhu.Chen tossed and turned, unable to sleep, angry, until the two people behind him stopped.

Yu Huanhu came out, saw Chen was there, and with his eyes open, he stepped over Chen's body as if nothing had happened, and lay down on the other side.

After daybreak, Old Bear Pi led the Star Cave young men out of the Wooden Shield tribe's territory. They walked along the way they came. They carried two large jars of salt, some cinnabar, and several pieces of flint spearheads and arrowheads.

About to pass through the thorn forest, the old bear who led the way suddenly stopped, and he turned around to make a silent movement.Just below their side, a group of people is walking, there are four people, all are strong men, from their attire, they are from the West Mountain Cave.

They carried newly-made black spears and walked while talking. If it weren't for the many sounds of birds and beasts in the forest and their limited vision, they might have spotted Old Xiongpi and the others long ago.

Yu Huanhu and Lao Xiongpi exchanged glances, Lao Xiongpi signaled not to move rashly, he not only signaled Yuhuanhu, but also the three partners behind him.However, Qi and Da Bei didn't understand. They clenched the spears in their hands, looking nervous and excited.

Chen recognized Yi from among the enemies, and he recognized him at a glance. His tall, tall figure and bright smiling face were very conspicuous.For some reason, seeing him again made Chen feel happy.

It seems that since the day we parted, he returned to his tribe safely and recovered from his injuries.

Qi came to Old Xiongpi's side and asked, "Father, there are only four of them, and we are five."

Da Bei also asked, "Do you want to do it?"

Old Xiongpi disagreed, and replied: "The leader is Zhu Maoya, you can't beat him." Old Xiongpi knew Zhu Maoya, and it was inevitable that they would fight against each other in the same hunting ground.

Old Xiongpi urged everyone to leave in a low voice: "Let's go." He was here to make a deal, and he had to escort the goods back safely, not to fight to the death.

Who would have thought that the old bear's words hadn't finished yet, but Dabei suddenly shouted: "They are here!"

Dabei couldn't hold his breath either, and almost at the same time, a spear flew towards Dabei, Yu Huanhu hurriedly knocked Dabei down, and then he clung to the spear and jumped down the steep slope.He was so fast that he directly knocked out the spear that Chang Jiaoyi was about to swing.

Old Xiongpi shouted on the slope: "Zhu Maoya, it's best not to do anything!"

Zhu Maoya looked at the three young and strong stars who jumped down from the cave, with a calm expression, he said: "You go back first." Old Xiongpi walked down the slope, Chen followed behind him.At this time Yi saw Chen, obviously very pleasantly surprised, he stared straight at Chen.Chen didn't respond to him, as if he didn't know him.

Yu Huanhu twisted Chang Jiaoyi's arm, and shouted: "It's you who are the ones to step back first!" He had the drive of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, in terms of numbers, they did have an advantage, and there was no reason to be afraid of the people in the West Mountain Cave.

Changjiaoyi's arm was held, and it hurt a lot. With an angry expression on his face, he yelled, "Let go! Are you looking for a beating?"

Old Xiongpi called him: "Tiger with Feather Ring."

Dabei's spear was already pointing at the unarmed Yi, and he said anxiously, "Huanhuanhu, we can't let this go!" Yi's spear was on the slope, and it was he who shot the spear that flew towards Dabei just now.If it wasn't for Yu Huanhu who knocked Da Bei down, Da Bei would have been shot.

Yi suddenly grabbed Da Bei's spear, bullied him, and shouted, "You're not convinced, are you?" His behavior was unexpected and aggressive, and Da Bei unconsciously wanted to back away.In the blink of an eye, Da Bei punched Yi twice, and was beaten to the ground.

The people on both sides started fighting, Mo and Qi screamed and fought, only the two leaders remained, they didn't do anything, they just watched from the sidelines.

They are all old hunters of their respective tribes, and they took a group of juniors, and they just took this opportunity to see the young and strong fighting power of both sides.

After Yu Huanhu subdued Changjiaoyi, he saw that Qi was besieged by Yi and Mo, he took advantage of Yi's unpreparedness, grabbed Yi's arm, threw it over his shoulder, and knocked Yi to the ground.

Yi didn't pay attention to this, and fell on his back. He cried out in pain and bounced off the ground.He picked up a spear casually, and wrestled Yu Huanhu, Yu Huanhu was forced aside.At this time, the old Xiongpi who was watching the battle threw a spear to Yuhuanhu, and Yuhuanhu started to fight back.

Chen Ben had no intention of participating in the fight, he stood aside and watched Yu Huanhu and Yi fight, and so did the others, as if they knew they were evenly matched.

Yi was very agile and avoided several attacks from Yuhuanhu, but he lacked the opportunity to fight back. Fighting with Yuhuanhu reminded him of the scene of being suppressed by Zhu Maoya's force, which was uncomfortable.

Finding an opening, Yi jumped up, swiped his spear and stabbed Yuhuanhu fiercely, Yuhuanhu dodged, and returned with a spear, the spear was unexpected, but still pierced Yi.Yi rolled and crawled, but actually dodged, and the quick reaction was astonishing.His skill surprised Yu Huanhu, he was so brave and vigorous despite his young age.

Yi jumped up the slope, picked up his black spear, and pointed the black spear at the ringed tiger. His fierce posture was obviously inviting a fight, which showed that he was quite aggressive.

Zhu Maoya saw that Yi was not the star cave warrior's opponent, and called him, "Yi, come down for me!"

It was getting late, and there was no time for them to fight, so Old Xiongpi also urged: "Yuhuanhu, let's go."

Although Yu Huanhu wanted to have a good fight with Yi, he was a rational person, so he put away his spear and turned to walk towards his partner.At this time, he suddenly heard someone shout from the Xishan Caveman: "Chen!" Yu Huanhu turned around in shock, saw Chen stop, and looked at the young man with the spear on the slope.

Yi jumped down and came to Chen in two steps. He swept away the previous one and sternly said with a childish smile: "I thought you didn't recognize me anymore."

Chen: "..."

Yi picked up a smoked pork leg from the ground, stuffed it to Chen and said, "This is for you, it's delicious." Chen had never encountered such a situation, and besides, everyone was looking at the two of them. Hold the pork leg.

Where did this pork leg come from?

Zhu Maoya watched this scene calmly, he had heard from Yi that he had met a star cave boy.What a coincidence, it seems that it should be the person holding the pork leg.Zhu Maoya urged: "Yi, don't leave yet!"

Seeing that his companions were leaving one after another, he responded, "Let's go." He followed the team, leaving only the Xingdong people behind.

Chen knew that Lao Xiongpi and Yu Huanhu were all watching him. He knew the "enemy" and had a "deep friendship", which was indeed suspicious.Chen heard the conversation of the people in Xishan Cave before they left. A young man complained: "That's the smoked pork leg I brought!" Yi Hui: "I hunted and ate on the way, and I won't be hungry."

Yu Huanhu questioned Chen: "Do you know him?"

"I know." Chen pinched the smoked pork leg hard, as if pinching Yi's neck.

The author has something to say: Chen: Can you stop making trouble?

easy:? ? ?How did I mess it up.
