Chapter 8 Captive

Chen was chasing an injured red deer. He ran fast, like a leopard, leaving his hunting partner, Fat Wood, far behind.Fat Wood couldn't move anymore and chose to give up. He stopped, panting, and when he recovered, the red deer and Chen had disappeared without a trace.

Last year, Fatwood's elder brother was still alive, and Fatwood was not yet an adult, so he didn't have to hunt so hard. At that time, he gathered with women and children.Although being teased by others, at least he doesn't have to participate in such a dangerous thing as hunting.Fat Wood couldn't help but think of his amiable elder brother, who was bumped to death by a red deer, and his intestines flowed out when he died.

The red deer ran desperately, and Chen pursued closely. Before he knew it, he crossed the boundary and entered the place where the people of Xishan Cave often hunted.What made Chen respond to God was a spear shot at him, Chen panicked and avoided, and suddenly looked up, there were three star cave hunters, and Yi was inside.

The man who threw the spear had long legs and a long upper body. He was outstanding in stature. This man had long legs, but Chen didn't know him.Chen hid in the grass, lying down to hide himself.

"Don't shoot him!"

Yi hurriedly stopped Mo Yao from swinging the spear, very anxious.

"Huh?" Mo felt bewildered, and withdrew his hand holding the spear.

Chang Jiao also took out his spare bow and arrow from behind, and was about to shoot again, when he heard Yi Block, he asked puzzledly: "He is from the Star Cave, Yi, what are you going to do?" Chang Jiao also saw it, this The star cave boy was alone, chasing a deer into their territory by mistake, just like the first prey alone, just in time to catch.

"He is Chen, not an enemy." Yi also couldn't say why he was not allowed to hurt Chen, anyway, he just couldn't.

Changjiao also guessed: "Is that the one who fought off the black bear with you?" Last time they met in the thorn forest, Yi even gave each other his smoked pork leg.

"It's him, he is not an enemy." Yi repeatedly emphasized that Chen is not an enemy.

Chen prostrated himself in the grass, with a bow in his hand, thinking that as long as they came close to search, he would fight back.Chen could hear the conversation of Yi's partner, and he was surprised.Yi's friends followed his dissuasion and didn't come up to search, but they didn't leave either.

The red deer that was shot by the arrow collapsed exhaustedly by the pool not far away. Chen looked at Yi and the others, and then at the red deer.Chen did something very brave. He put the bow and arrow on his back, stood up slowly from the grass, walked out of the grass, and walked towards the red deer step by step.

The waiting bow and arrow and the spear did not shoot out, so Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the red deer lying dead on the ground, grabbed its two forelimbs, put them on his shoulders, and lifted it up.The weight of the red deer made him almost unable to straighten his back, and he faltered.

Seeing Chen came out to carry the deer, Yi Chaochen waved his hands and shouted: "Chen, go away, don't come here again!" He was worried that other hunters would find Chen, and Qi and Mo would have nothing to talk to, and others might not listen to persuasion and attack Chen.

Chen looked back at Yi, the sun shone on the other's face, illuminating his eyebrows and eyes, and his appearance came into Chen's eyes again.Chen didn't say anything, he carried the red deer on his back with great difficulty, and left as soon as possible.

Changjiao also crossed his chest in frustration and glared at Yi, while Mo Ze was very surprised and shouted: "Ah, he carried the deer away!"

Just let the people of the hostile tribe go to the west mountain cave site, carry the prey away, carry away...

Yi Mu sees off Chen's leaving figure, and feels relieved when he sees him walking away.I'm afraid that someone will jump out suddenly and shoot Chen down. As long as the shot is accurate, a spear or an arrow can kill someone.

Changjiao also saw the seriousness of the problem and complained: "Yi, you can't do this. He is Yuhuanhu's partner. Next time we meet them, how will we fight?" are frequent.

Yi "thought", and he said after a while: "Then you can't hit him, he didn't fight us last time."

During the fight in the thorn forest, Chen did not take the initiative to participate, and only made a few resistances.

Chang Jiao also raised his chin, looked at the young man who looked like a little black shadow in front of him, and said, "Do you like him?" His words of liking are the kind of liking that I think you are pleasing to the eye and that you are a good person.

Yi Ying said, "I like it."

Probably when he was injured in the Flying Squirrel Cave, he was so tired that he wanted to close his eyes, and the pain was unbearable, when he saw Chen Yan guarding the cave entrance, at that moment, he felt that this person was very good and reliable.

Besides, before he left, he left herbs for himself, and even gave him ostrich meat to eat, like a partner, not an enemy.

Chen was sweating profusely, and walked back to the grass that belonged to the Xingdong people, where Fat Wood was waiting for him.Seeing him appearing, Fat Wood quickly chased after him and helped him unload the deer from his back.Chen sat on the ground to rest, for some reason, he was very eager to talk, he said to Fat Wood: "I met the people from Xishan Cave." Fat Wood asked in panic, "Then how did you escape back?"

The wind from the wild grass blew over Chen's sweaty face, bringing coolness, he paused for a moment, and said lightly: "They... didn't see me."

He didn't tell the truth, he didn't know if Fat Wood could believe it.

Fat Mu and Chen carried the red deer on their shoulders and walked home. On the way, he muttered, "Dirty Mao, we will still hunt spotted deer in the future. Spotted deer are easy to kill."

Red deer are big and have strong vitality. They can't be killed by an arrow, and they have to chase after the arrow.

Chen said: "Winter is coming soon, and there will be not enough food."

Last winter, there was not enough food. Although Chen didn't like most people in Xingdong, his sister Xita had to take care of him.

Carried the red deer back to the star cave, it was cut open in the cave, the meaty part was grilled, and the part that was not easy to grill was stewed in soup.A large group of people, men, women, and children, gathered together to eat venison.They had to gather together to live, some hunted, some gathered, and resisted wild beasts and enemies together.If only one person, or two people want to leave the group and live by themselves, the end result will only be death in the wild, and there will be no bones left.

Ever since Yu Huanya came back from hunting in White Lake, Chen seldom went to the upper level of the star cave, not because he was afraid of him, but because he was bored.Yu Huanya, his two partners, and Da Bei who often followed him recently were all very hostile to Chen.

Xi looked after a pot of broth, and the children came over with bowls and waited. After the soup was cooked, Xi smiled and shared a bowl with each of them, telling: "It's very hot, take it well and don't spill it." She treats people intimately, like her mother, and her words Not many, often very quiet, doing things quietly, and being kind to people.

The children held their own food and found a place to sit down and eat.A boy walked up to Xi and handed out his bowl too, a very big bowl.Xi looked up, smiled at him, took the bowl, and filled it with broth for him.

Chen looked at the young man, and he knew that he was the son of the old hunter Hupi, named Lili.In the past, raccoons were still young, and under the guidance of their father, they went to the forest to learn to hunt.Seeing him come back with three hares alone today, it seems that he is already a hunter.

After the raccoon drank the broth, he took a roasted rabbit leg and gave it to Xi Chi.He concealed himself and looked embarrassed, but Chen had already seen him.After eating, Xi and Li sat down on a big rock outside the cave, surrounded by blooming flowers, and the two talked in a low voice, intimately.

Chen looked at them, feeling both happy and disappointed.Fat Mu's younger sister, Hongcao, ran over with a cooked poultry egg, handed it to Chen, and said childishly, "Dirty hair, I'll eat it for you."

Chen took the eggs, and the red grass bounced away, returning to her mother's side.She nestled in her mother's arms like a little child.

Since rescuing Hongcao from Shekou, Fat Mu's family has treated Chen very well.

In fact, many people got meat because Chen was hunting, but there were not many people who knew how to be grateful.

Usually every two days or three days you have to hunt once. If there is not enough food, you have to go out to hunt once a day.Hunts are sometimes long and sometimes quick.

After the first snow of winter fell, the hunters of the star cave found that they were spending more time hunting than before, because the hunters of the west cave competed for their prey, sometimes breaking into the site of the star cave in groups.

One day, Qi He came back carrying a wounded man. The wounded man had a spear in his thigh, and the blood stained his whole leg red. He kept howling in pain.Chen recognized it as Yu Huanya's partner, Huang Tai, who had a fox's tail tied around his waist, hence the name.

Yellow Tail was carried to the upper level of the star cave and was healed by Zi.

Qi summoned the hunters in the cave, and he said loudly: "The people from the Xishan Cave are on our hunting grounds, robbing our prey, and shooting the yellow tail! The hunters take all their bows and spears, and follow me!" He said Even Li and Fat Wood called, but Chen didn't call.

Chen chose to keep up, he wanted to see what the fight was like, and he also cared about the hunting ground, if they were really snatched by the Xishan Cavemen, they would starve this winter.

A large group of people rushed to the woodland aggressively, and from a distance, they saw Yu Huanhu and Yu Huanya leading a group of people chasing several Xishan Cave hunters.These western cave hunters were scattered, some climbed trees, and some climbed up the mountainside.Arrows and spears kept coming and going for a while, and the giant rhinoceros they were fighting for was running wildly because of being disturbed, jumping at everyone, the scene was quite chaotic.

Qi led reinforcements, cooperated with the Yuhuan warriors, and drove the people from Xishan Cave into a mountain pass, forcing them into a desperate situation.This is where they have hunted for generations, and the surrounding environment is much more familiar than that of the Xishan Cave people.

"Climb up the mountain!" Zhu Mao retreated to the foot of the mountain, calmly, commanding Changjiao to lead everyone up the mountain.

Changjiao refused, he wanted to stay: "Father, I will cut off your heir."

"Come up for me! Where is Yi, where is he?" Zhu Mao was a little annoyed at this, and shouted at his son.

There was no sign of Yi around, this kid was the most worrying, Zhu Mao said angrily: "Leave him alone, you go to the mountain, if they come over, they will throw stones!"

The hunters in the star cave were all agile and climbed up the mountain one after another. Those with weapons on their bodies were ready to fight with weapons, and those without weapons raised stones to prepare.Ahead, people from the star cave came in large numbers, there were fourteen or five people, and all the star cave hunters were dispatched.

There are only five hunters in Xishan Cave, led by Zhu Maoxiang.

"Hurry up, they have nowhere to run!" Yu Huanya yelled, he rushed to the front and directed everyone.The star cave hunters followed eagerly, except for Yu Huanhu who had stopped to look for the figure of the giant rhino, and Chen who had no fighting spirit at this time.

Chen saw Changjiao Yi among the people in the Xishan cave who were running away, and he didn't know if Yi was there.

Everyone in Xishan Cave climbed up the mountain, but Zhu Maoya stayed on the mountainside, seeing Yu Huanya approaching, he threw the Zhu spear in his hand, Yu Huanya narrowly escaped.Zhu Mao Xiang Bukui was an old hunter, he revealed his whereabouts, but he did not rush to hide behind the stones, avoiding the bows and spears shot at him by the Xingdongmen.

At this time, almost all the hunters in the Star Cave entered the mountain pass. Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering galloping sound, and a giant rhino rushed down from the side of the mountain like an arrow.The people in the star cave were terrified. They were terrified, screaming and fleeing desperately, and someone shouted: "Look! There is a person on the giant rhinoceros!"

Yi rode on the giant rhino's neck, hugging the giant rhino's big horn with both arms, he roared boldly: "Oh thick~ Go!"

"..." Zhu Maoxiang stood up, unable to believe his eyes.

Mo cheered and jumped up the mountain: "It's Yi! Look, he's riding a giant rhinoceros!"

"He's dying!" The companion Antler tried to cover his eyes in horror, the scene was too exciting.Chang Jiao was also terrified when he saw it, and said, "He helped us out of the siege, but...".

Riding on a furious and galloping giant rhinoceros, it would be slammed down and all bones would be broken, let alone rushing towards a large group of star cave hunters, threatened by arrows and spears.Most of the star cave hunters were frightened and ran away desperately, but the two feather ring warriors did not retreat. They threw spears at the giant rhinoceros to block its footsteps.

The giant rhinoceros roared, lowered its head and charged, flying its feather ring and teeth, and at the same time threw Yi to the ground.The enraged giant rhinoceros fled into the forest with injuries.

Yi yelled in pain, "Oh, my waist!" Before he could react, a big net was thrown at him.

Chen: "..."

Chen, who was watching from a tree, could only watch silently. Yi was surrounded by the gathered star cave hunters. The angry people wrapped him tightly in the net, kicked him a few times to vent his anger, and then carried him away.

The author has something to say: Chen: Riding a giant rhinoceros is awesome, isn’t it?

Yi: Yes!Want to ride again.

Zhu Maoya silently took out the wooden cage, Zhu Maoxiang prepared the rope, and the two cooperated to hang Yi up the cliff.
