prehistoric modern man

Ji Chi closed his eyes, and looked over again, and Yu Wu's gaze had already fallen on the feather in his hand.

It can be seen that there is doubt and incomprehension in his eyes, not only because of the feather in his hand, but also because of the two arrows he shot by the river.

Ji Chi regained consciousness, stood up under his gaze, and climbed up the tree first.

Later, Yu Wu also came up, holding a pile of feathers that he had buried under the tender grass in his hand.

Ji Chi paused when he took the arrow, watched Yu Wu walking towards him suspiciously, then bared his teeth and inserted a blue feather crookedly into his hair.

If Ji Chi remembers correctly, this is the kind of feather that Jiajia wears on his head, that is to say, it is something a woman wears.

After inserting one, Yu Wu stared at him blankly for a while, then fiddled with his hair more vigorously.

Ji Chi didn't move, because he was thinking about how to remind Yu Yu that he was also a male.

However, Yu Yu quickly stopped.He moved his nose, as if he had just noticed the smell of bird meat wafting in the air.

Putting down the feather in his hand, he walked up to the wooden frame and smelled it. As soon as his eyes lit up, he wanted to eat it, but he stopped in time before his hand touched the meat. He glanced at Ji Chi, dodged his eyes, and ate it anyway. Then he took the whole wooden frame off the vine and brought it in front of Ji Chi, baring his teeth to signal him to eat it too.

Ji Chi took a look, the meat had been dried and it was raw, he had never eaten raw meat before, so he shook his head, "No, you can eat it."

His voice was still low and hoarse, and Ji Chi touched his neck unconsciously. He thought, even if Yu Wu couldn't understand, he should talk to him more, otherwise his vocal cords and language function would degenerate sooner or later.

Yu Yu paused, although he didn't understand, but he automatically translated what he said into what he wanted to hear, responded to him, sat on the wooden door like him, and started to eat.

In fact, Ji Chi was also hungry, very hungry. He took off the feathers on his head and planned to go down and roast some Poria cocos later.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wu grabbed his hand as soon as he started to prevent him from picking off any feathers.

Ji Chi frowned unconsciously and looked at him.

Seeing his expression, Yu Wu's eyes darkened, his grip on his hand became looser, his Adam's apple rolled, and he uttered two deliberately low words, "Kanxiu."

"Kanxiu." Ji Chi subconsciously repeated his words.

Yu Yu looked at him suddenly, and his dark eyes instantly returned to normal. He seemed to be incredulous that Ji Chi could say these two words.

Yu Yu blinked, then said a long series of words, and then waited for him to speak.

Ji Chi was silent and did not speak.One or two sentences are okay, but one sentence is a bit difficult. Even if I can say it, it is not standard.

After waiting for a while without getting a response, Yu Yu also lost interest. He turned his head and looked at the wooden frame in his hand. He had already eaten the meat. He looked at the other wooden frames hanging in the air, and rushed over the next moment.

Ji Chi thought for a while, picked up his bow and arrow, aimed at the nearest wild fruit tree and shot it.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow hit the target and fell down together with the wild fruit.Sure enough, Yu Wu looked at him sharply, and quickly jumped down the tree in the next second, and picked up the arrow stuck in the wild fruit after a while.

He stared wide-eyed and repeatedly looked at the wood that seemed so ordinary to him, with his mouth open, his face was full of shock.

When Yu Wu's eyes turned to the bow in Ji Chi's hand, Ji Chi shot another arrow, the same tree, and hit the target.

This time Yu Wu saw it clearly, let out a strange exclamation of excitement, quickly snatched the bow from Ji Chi's hand, drew the bow in a strange posture like him and shot an arrow.

With a slight sound of wood hitting, the arrow hit the tree pole in front and fell on the branch in front of the vine house.

Excited, Yu Wu tried for the second time, and this time the posture was correct, and the arrow went straight into a tree pole in the distance.Yu Yu glanced at Ji Chi, and immediately ran down the rattan house to retrieve the arrow.

He took the arrow and studied it for a few times, then looked at Ji Chi and pointed to the direction of the grass, obviously wanting to ask if he shot the two arrows in the morning.

Ji Chi nodded.

Yu Yu froze for a moment, then suddenly tilted his head and rubbed against the side of his neck, as if expressing his gratitude or intimacy.

Due to his personality, Ji Chi had never had skin-to-skin intimacy with anyone before he came here. Even his girlfriend who had been with him once broke up because of his point-and-shoot every time.

He would subconsciously reject such a situation, but he didn't know how to deal with Yu Yu.

After rubbing his hands, Yu Wu glanced at him, bared his teeth and smiled, picked up the bow and arrow and jumped down the tree briskly.

It wasn't until his figure disappeared that Ji Chi withdrew his gaze, pulled out the feathers in his hair, and randomly placed them in the corner of the rattan house together with the rest.

He got down from the tree, built a fire, put poria cocos in it, and got several fruit shells of different sizes to put the dried bird meat in the wooden frame.

The salt slurry on the roof has also been sun-dried into a white solid, and after being crushed, it is in powder form. He packed these solids into the smallest husks, and put them into the rattan house together with the husks containing the bird meat.

After leaving the room, he went to the wooden frame where the fruit pulp was placed and looked at it. It was twice as small as normal. He picked up one and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and a scent fainted in his mouth. The previous beany smell is gone.

He ate a few more, picked off a few leaves to cover the pulp, and dropped the tree.

The dry firewood in the fire under the tree has been burned out, and Poria cocos is roasting in the remaining charcoal.Ji Chi carefully surrounded the burning charcoal with stones and circled around. He found yew wood and some straight dry branches that were about the same diameter and length as his bow, and then returned to the fire and started to make bows and arrows. .

When the dry firewood added for the second time was burned out, Ji Chi had already made a bow and arrow, and Yu Wu had already returned from somewhere, holding a goat-like animal in his hand.

The goat had arrow wounds on its neck and stomach, which must have been the result of Yu Wu's arrows.

The sky had already darkened, and when the goats were cleaned up, Ji Chi could only see the surrounding things clearly by the light of the fire.

He put the finished goat meat on its fur, got up and went up the tree in the dark, took off the husk containing salt, and sprinkled it on the mutton bit by bit.

Yu Yu was originally squatting by the fire, comparing the two bows and arrows repeatedly, but seeing something he had never seen before, he immediately put down the bow and arrow in his hand, picked up the fruit shell that Ji Chi had just put down, and put it to his mouth After smelling it, he wanted to reach in, but his mouth was too small, so he poured it directly into his mouth.

Ji Chi set up the meat, picked up a Poria cocos and looked at him while tearing it.

Yu Yu wriggled his mouth and tasted it carefully, then stopped his movement the next moment, his body trembled.

Ji Chi hooked the corner of his mouth, tore off a piece of Poria cocos and handed it over.Although there is only a little salt slurry on the inner skin of the nut, it is very salty.

After swallowing the poria cocos in one gulp, Yu Yu seemed to have the salty taste in his mouth still. He leaned over and stretched out his hand towards the poria cocos that Ji Chi was holding, and finally grabbed his mouth with both hands, and kissed Ji Chi hand to eat.

Ji Chi's body leaned towards Yu Wu in a half-up and half-squat position.He swallowed the Poria cocos he just took a bite of with a normal expression, and finally withdrew his hand before Yu Yu swallowed it together.

Ji Chi glanced at his hand in silence, and opened it tightly. After the feeling of staying still disappeared, he picked up the fruit shell next to Yu Yu and put it into the rattan house.

When he came down, Yu Yu was sitting on his seat with crumbs on the corner of his mouth, his hands were busy trying to take down the barbecue.

The meat has indeed been grilled, the skin is burnt and buttery, and the air is full of the smell of barbecue.

The grilled meat sprinkled with salt lost the usual greasy feeling and increased appetite.Yu Wu ate a lot, but Ji Chi still had his usual amount.

After eating, Ji Chi still went to take a bath by the river, and Yu Wu followed him.

After taking a shower in the dark, they went straight back to the hut.

Silent all night.

The next day, as soon as Ji Chi arrived at the rattan house, he dug out a few fruit shells that had been left in the hole overnight. When he opened the lid, a strong smell of mutton came in his nostrils. Ji Chi closed his breath and went inside. After taking a look, the grass inside had changed color, but it was not obvious. The bird blood was absorbed or solidified, and it was also much less.

Ji Chi carried the husks onto the tree, and spread the reddish grass leaves inside on the leaves spread in the wooden frame to dry.

There was still a lot of bird blood left, so Ji Chi found some grass leaves, crushed them with stones, put them into fruit shells, and put them back in the hole under the tree.

The sun has already shone in through the gaps in the trees, and the coolness of the morning is gradually replaced by the muggy heat.

Ji Chi picked up the fishing net from the tree and walked to the river.

It was the time when the men of the Yuqu tribe went out to hunt, and there were only two women and their children by the river. Ji Chi recognized one of them as the woman who fell into the water last time.

When she saw Ji Chi, she smiled kindly at him.

Ji Chi also responded, and went into the water to cast a net.

The river is constantly flowing from top to bottom, and the water is crystal clear. Perhaps because no one is fishing, there are still many fish.Ji Chi tied the extra vines from one end of the net to the big rock by the river, and with the mouth of the net facing the river, he picked up the other end and stretched it out. Sure enough, more fish were caught in the net.

While he was waiting, a thin figure stood beside the boulder. Ji Chi glanced at it, and it was the little girl who "swallowed fish" last time.

She looked at Ji Chi timidly, and before he turned his head away, she suddenly showed two rows of teeth and smiled at him.

Ji Chi was taken aback for a moment, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he also smiled at her.

Seeing his response, the little girl laughed even harder, and even let out a "giggle" laugh.

The girl next to the woman who fell into the water seemed to be the girl's mother. The two looked somewhat similar. The common feature was that they were both very thin and looked like they were chronically malnourished.After hearing the laughter, the woman looked over and saw that she was all right, then lowered her head and fiddled with the hay in her hand.

The little girl's laughter was still there, coupled with the surrounding environment, inexplicably gave Ji Chi a sense of relaxation, which he rarely had.

At this time, the fishing net moved a bit, and it was a herring, twice the size of a normal fish. Ji Chi quickly collected the net, fished it out and put it on the shore.

The little girl was already lying on the boulder, her eyes switching back and forth between him and the fish.The two women who were pulling hay in the distance also came over and looked enviously at the fish in Ji Chi's net.

Ji Chi thought for a while, put down his fishing net, walked into the woods under their curious eyes, quickly got a proper amount of thin vines, and spent about half an hour weaving a net for them.

The two women were very happy and kept thanking him, especially the girl's mother, who was touched in her joy and seemed to see some kind of hope.

Later, Ji Chi found out that the girls had lost their father very early, so they were given very little food every day. Sometimes the men hunted so little food that they couldn't share it. At that time, they could only eat wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.

In fact, the fishing net is secondary, and the most important thing is to enter the water. The two women are obviously very scared, especially the woman who has fallen into the water.

However, they also saw Ji Chi standing in the river safe and sound, and finally submerged tremblingly under the lure of the fish.

When they actually stood in the water, they were no longer afraid, just like Ji Chi, each holding a fishing net, waiting for the fish to fall into the net.

The little girl was still lying on the rock and giggling while watching the fish poured out by Ji Chi.
