[Ting Yu] Abandoned in the wild

21. New friends

The night of waiting was the most difficult night Zhiyuan had ever had since he was born, fidgeting back and forth between the cave entrance and the cave.Several times he wanted to lift the covering vines and go out to see the situation, but he thought of the danger in the mountains at night, so he gave up this idea.

Until the next day, he was drowsy and heard the sound of branches and leaves rubbing against each other.He opened his eyes suddenly, just in time to see four or five people walking from outside the cave with the morning light on their backs.

"Xiyu." He saw Chen Ting's friend supporting Chen Ting at a glance, and walked over happily, "Are you okay, are you injured? I was worried to death. Fortunately, they rescued you."

"Zhiyuan, Ah Ting is injured, take a quick look." Xiyu anxiously grabbed Zhiyuan's hand and said.

Zhiyuan frowned, and looked down at Chen Ting's wound.Because too much time had passed, and because Xiyu had pressed the wound with animal skin, the bleeding was no longer there, but the hideous wound was turned outwards, and it was shocking to watch.

"I brought the wound medicine, apply it quickly." Zhi Yuan said as he walked in, Xiyu supported Chen Ting and followed him in.

Mike stayed at the entrance of the cave to cover up the traces of several people along the way before returning. He saw the two rescued females squatting helplessly near the entrance of the cave with their babies in their arms, at a loss for what to do.He and Lueshang looked at each other, both a little unsure how to arrange the two of them.

"Are you all from the Yinla tribe?" Lueshang asked, remembering what happened before.

One of the two females nodded embarrassingly and haggardly, then shed tears and shook her head non-stop.Lue Shang and Mike knew the meaning of his action very well. After being plundered, the tribe did not come to rescue them, which showed that they had been abandoned by the tribe.Now they are completely helpless wanderers.

Lueshang and Mike sighed. At this moment, Chen Ting, who was sitting on the rock receiving treatment, touched the dagger and threw it towards Lueshang.

"Give it back to you, it really saved my life this time."

Lue Shang smiled and reached out to pick it up.But at this moment, a hand appeared out of thin air on the way, and firmly caught the dagger.

"This thing belongs to me." Among the rescued females, the female who was wearing gray-white animal skins and was holding her baby all the time said suddenly.

Everyone was stunned, looking at him in disbelief.

"They snatched this from me when I was taken away by the cannibals." The female lowered her head slightly, her dry, knotted and frizzy forehead covered his eyes, making it impossible to see clearly what he was doing at the moment. expression.

Chen Ting was a little stunned. He had always thought that the cannibals had mastered the technology of metallurgy.But now it seems that the root of the metallurgical technology must be traced to the female in front of him.

"Are you also from the Yinla tribe?" Mike asked.

The female shook her head and said, "I came from a far away place, so I don't know the situation here. When I went into the forest to look for food, I was taken away by cannibals."

"Then which tribe do you belong to?" All the tribes on this continent knew it well, but they didn't remember a tribe that could make such a sharp weapon.

"Not at all. The place where I live is very far away, and I have to cross the sea." The female said so.

ocean? !This was the first time Chen Ting heard this word after coming to this place.Even that time when he and Xiyu went up the mountain, Xiyu called the place where the sound of waves came from behind the mountain called water.He always thought that no one knew the name of the sea.But today, he heard the word again from this person.

"Are you alone?" Lueshang looked at the female up and down. The animal hide was old and dirty, and her waist-length hair looked like it hadn't been taken care of for a long time. He kept his head down, letting People can't even see his appearance clearly, but judging from the appearance of his hands and feet, it seems that this person has not been cleaned for a long time, and the dirt on his body has covered almost all of his skin.

And in this barbaric era, according to all the cognitions of Lue Shang, there is absolutely no tribe or group that would let a female go on a journey alone.

"Well, I don't have parents, I've always been alone." The female nodded calmly.

His voice is always gentle and soft, neither impatient nor procrastinating, and it echoes in my ears like a very pleasant tune.

Lue Shang, Mike and Chen Ting looked at each other, they seemed to understand each other's meaning.However, the tribe is not decided by the three of them. If they want to take two females and a completely unrelated child back, no one will be responsible for their future life in the tribe.In other words, as long as they decided to take them back, Chen Ting and the three had to afford their lives.

"All right."

Zhiyuan is a physician in the tribe, and he has a fairly complete set of medical supplies.Bind the herbal medicine to the wound washed with spring water, and then use the long strip made of animal skin to firmly fix the wound.All that remains is to recuperate quietly until heals up.

He washed his hands with the spring water, stood up and broke the silence and walked to the two females.

"Do you have somewhere to go?" He asked a question that Chen Ting and the three of them were thinking about.

The female from the Yinla tribe shook her head and said with tears, "Those who are abandoned by the tribe have no right to go back."

The female in the gray and white animal skin also shook her head, and said, "I'm a homeless person, so I can go wherever I go."

He didn't shed tears like Yin La's female, and what he said about his homeless situation seemed to be calm.But I don't know why, his tone heard Lueshang's ears, but it made him frown involuntarily, and felt uncomfortable for some reason.

"Then go back to the tribe with us, we'll take care of you." His next sentence was almost at the same time as Zhiyuan's.

Zhi Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked back at him, and said with a smile: "You said that!"

His original plan was to take advantage of his status as a pharmacist, coupled with the food in the secret field left by his uncle, it was enough to feed three females and one child.Unexpectedly, Lueshang also opened his mouth. When he said this, it was equivalent to taking on this responsibility.

Seeing Chen Ting and Mike's searching gazes, Lueshang took a deep breath and nodded, "We can't just watch them go wandering and be taken back by cannibals."

Chen Ting and Mike looked at each other and nodded with a smile.The three men with strong bodies, hands, feet and good hunting ability can't just watch the females and children who have no self-protection ability go out to wander and ignore them.

"Great." Xiyu, who had been quietly listening to everyone's discussion, was very happy, he walked to the female in the gray-white animal skin, looked at the child in his arms and said with a smile: "From now on, Ah Zhan will have a playmate. "

Chen Ting also smiled at his partner's happiness.Immediately, his gaze fell on the female beside Xiyu.In fact, he also has his own selfishness in keeping these two people behind. He hopes that the female in front of him can be a person who has mastered metallurgical technology.If ironware can be made because of this, it will really be the greatest help to this group of people.

The people in Zhiyuan seemed very happy to be able to live together in the future, chatting quietly around a child.In order to avoid attracting the cannibals to the tribe, they planned to hide in the mountains for another day before going back.So Ah Ting, Lueshang and Mike gathered together to discuss things after returning to the tribe.

The mysterious messenger, the resettlement problem after returning with the new female, and their house building plan that was suspended because of this crisis.Looking at the climate and seasons now, it should be early spring, which is the season of recovery of all things.Chen Ting planned to transplant many of the edible plants he found on the mountain to the vicinity of the current stone house. For those that could not be moved, he needed to determine their orientation and clear away the surrounding dangers, so that a few females could also go hunting when they were there. Time to go up the mountain and take care of it.Regarding the problem of building houses, Lue Shang also mentioned the strong convective rainstorms that will occur in the middle of summer. If the house can be built before that time, it is naturally the best.

There are still many things to do. The three of them looked at the few females talking in the distance, and felt that the burden on them was much heavier, and they couldn't help but sigh.

In the early morning of the second day, when Lueshang and Mike returned to the mountain and the riverside to confirm that there was no trace of anyone following them, several people packed up their things and started back to the tribe by another road.

"By the way, what do you all call it?" Mike asked casually as he walked down the mountain.

"My name is Meka," said the female from the Yin La tribe.

"What about you?" Mike looked at the other female.

Hearing this, the other party raised his head slightly.The morning sun shone on his face, and the face that had been washed with the spring water in the cave was unexpectedly delicate and beautiful.

"My name is Sanliu." He said with a smile.
