Rate the wilderness

Chen was taken to the upper level of the star cave, but he was left alone outside the bone house.Old Xiongpi, Yuhuanya, Dabei, and Big Wolf entered the bone house to meet the scorpion.

Their words will be bad for him, but Chen has realized that he can't stay in the star cave anymore, and he can't hold on anymore.

When he was twelve or thirteen years old, Chen tried to leave the star cave. At that time, he was provoked and beaten by others, but he was accused of all faults on him.There were many similar encounters. At that time, Chen suddenly decided: He wants to leave the star cave, and he will never come back!

He was alone with a spear and a bow and arrow, and left before dawn.

People watched his thin figure walk out of the star cave and into the darkness indifferently, but no one told him not to do so.People at that time probably didn't believe that he dared to leave alone, thinking that he was angry and would teach the wild beasts to run back in fright before he crossed the stream.

Only Xi chased her out, she pulled Chen's clothes, she was still a little girl at that time, she cried and said: "Chen, don't go, I don't have a mother anymore."

Her words made Chen feel sad, he knelt down, took Kaixi's hand, and lied to her: "I'm going to hunt rabbits, I will come back."

At this moment, Chen's heart was as cold as a stone, whether it was towards Xi or himself, he turned and left without looking back.

Chen's figure disappeared into the forest, the sky was not yet fully lit, and the surroundings were dark, Xi cried, and she realized that Chen would never come back.Fat Mu's mother heard the crying, followed the sound, and took Xi into her arms to comfort her.

Chen was wandering alone in the setting sun forest, and was attacked by wolves and managed to escape.At dusk, he wandered alone in the woods, strayed into the pony territory, was chased away by the horses, and was almost trampled by the hooves of the horses and lost his life.

Under the pressure of panic, hunger and exhaustion, the sun set in the sky.

The sound of the beasts roaring all around makes people feel chills all over. They have sharp fangs and claws, they are ferocious and vigorous, and can kill people in an instant.

Chen climbed a big tree and hid in the tree for the night. He dared not fall asleep. In this dark world, he was so weak.Chen is struggling, longing for the sun to rise again, but the night is so long.

Before he knew it, Chen still fell asleep, and he had a nightmare, in which a sharp female voice rose from the ground, so ear-piercing and terrifying.He woke up from the dream, and heard the deep roar of the leopard beside him, and a fishy smell approaching.

The sky seemed to be dawning soon, and Chen Neng vaguely saw a leopard climbing a tree, its two pairs of bright eyes were staring at him coldly.

"Ah! Get away!" Chen yelled in fright, stabbing it desperately with a spear, forcing it down the tree.

However, the leopard walked around the tree without any intention of leaving. Its eyes, as cold as sharp claws and full of animalism, lingered like a nightmare.

Chen climbed to a higher place, and the leopard was also slowly approaching. It was so smart that it was vigilant and kept a certain distance from Chen, just the distance that the spear couldn't reach.Chen took down the bow and arrow and fired it downwards. With his vision blurred, he only heard the roar of the leopard and the sound of breaking branches, but he didn't know whether he hit it or not.

The bow and arrow in his hand were shot quickly, Chen held the spear and trembled all over.

The leopard realized that Chen was no longer attacking, it jumped lightly on the branches, and approached Chen in an instant, Chen roared, stabbed it with a spear, panicked, but also fell to the ground because his body lost its center of gravity.

It was the wet grass after the rain. Chen lay on his back, his body lost strength due to the impact. He saw the huge monster jumping down from the treetops, and the pair of bright eyes pressed against him...

"Dirty fur."

Old Xiongpi shook Chen's shoulder, and Chen, who was seriously injured, fell into a coma due to weakness.

Chen opened his eyes and found that he was in the star cave, not in the scary forest.Surrounded by the dim light of the fire, he was sitting outside the bone house, beside him was the old bear skin, and a group of people, including Yu Ringya and Qi.

Old Xiongpi looked at him in a daze, and reminded him: "I want to see you."

Chen stood up staggeringly, his leg was hurting so much that it was difficult to stand up, the old bear gave him a wooden stick, and Chen used it as a stick.Chen walked towards the bone house with difficulty, raised his scarred hand, opened the leather curtain, and entered the bone house.

This is the second time in Chen's memory that he came to the bone house. The first time he was attacked by a leopard when he was 12 years old.

Sitting in the middle of the bone house, there are herbs burning in the house, there is a kind of faint sweetness, it relieves the pain in Chen's body.

Chen walked up to You, lay down his body, put his hands on his head, and said to him in an old voice: "Since you came, the disputes have never stopped." Seemingly sighed, "Chen, you Why did you betray the tribe?"

Why betray?That enemy is not like an enemy, and his people are not like their people.

But the people in the star cave took me in. Among the people in the star cave, there is a foster mother who raised me, and there is a hunting spear who taught me knowledge and saved my life.

Chen Moran, he didn't answer.

"Your heart is full of anger, Chen, and you hate your clansmen." He gently raised his hand on Chen's head, as if he knew what Chen was thinking, "You are like an enemy of a star cave, not a clansman."

Chen didn't need to hide anything, he felt that Xie had already seen his thoughts, and he said, "Zi, I'm not from a star cave, I'm from the south."

As if he didn't hear what Chen said, he left Chen and decocted medicine by the small fire.

"They say I'm a ghost, you, am I a ghost?" Chen didn't quite understand the meaning of ghosts, but he knew that people who were not injured but sick and uncomfortable were all because of evil spirits like ghosts.

Ji poured some concoction from the earthen pot, poured the concoction into a small bowl, and he handed the small bowl to Chen.

Chen took the small bowl and drank the concoction in one gulp.For some common injuries, people can heal themselves, but for serious injuries, they have to ask for help. His herbs are very effective.

He murmured: "What are you, I can't see yet."

His intuition told him that Chen was extraordinary, and that it was no coincidence that he was born in a star cave, but what this meant, he was not enlightened.

"Jie, please tell me about my birth. My mother's people, where do they live?" Chen begged.

He replied: "Where the sun sets, there is a dead forest. They used to live there."

Chen asked, "Where did they go after that?"

"They have never left, they are all dead, and are cursed by the god of evil." Ji clenched the witch stick tightly, looking horrified.

Chen was stunned, his mother's people were all dead!

What about mother?How did she come to the star cave, and me?Why am I still alive?

Seeing as if he knew what Chen was wondering, he continued, "It was autumn hunting. The hunters were chasing mammoths in the White Lake, and they met a pregnant woman. The woman said that her people were all sick, and many people were dying." I still clearly remember Chen's mother, that is a very beautiful woman, and she is still pregnant and will give birth to a child.

What he told later was even more beyond Chen's expectations.

The hunters brought Chen's mother back to Xishan Cave. She looked very tired and had abdominal pain, as if she was about to give birth.Women and children are related to the prosperity of a tribe, and the star cave people decided to keep her and her children.

Two star cave hunters went to the place where the female tribe lived, and found that it was the residence of migrants. They didn't live in caves, but built houses on the ground.Logs and grass bales were strewn about, and the people who should have built thatched huts were either dead or terminally ill.

There was blood on their mouths and noses. Later, the stars knew that as long as they were stained with the blood and saliva of the deceased, they would be infected and die.

Not long after Chen was born, the "curse of the gods" raged in the star cave. Not long after, Chen's mother also died, and many people in the star cave also died in the same way.

The fearful and angry Star Cave people planned to kill Chen, who was still a baby, thinking that it was Chen's people who brought Chongshen into the Sunset Forest.But Ji Jianchen didn't have any symptoms, thinking that his survival meant that the spirit would leave, which turned out to be the case.

The disease did not spread wildly in the Sunset Forest because those who contracted it died quickly.

People grieve and bury the dead, burn their belongings, and set fire to the dead woods—the fire that gave it its name.

Chen was raised by a kind woman, she is Chen's adoptive mother.

After listening to what he said, Chen fell into silence. Knowing sometimes is not necessarily easier than not knowing. Even though Chen has been confused and resentful for so many years, there is a deeper pain on top of the pain.

Two cold tears rolled down his bruised face, and Chen cried silently.It was a very complicated emotion, like suddenly, like grievance, like guilt, all kinds of emotions mixed together.

Bending his body, weeping silently, after crying, Chen raised his sad face and looked at you.Ji Zhizhan stood beside him, holding something extra in his hand, it was a thin rope, and the two ends of the thin rope ran through a curved stone.

Ji handed the jade huang to Chen and said, "Your mother wore it when she was alive. It is a piece of ice. People in the far south also call it: jade, which is more valuable than ivory."

Chen took it and held it in his hands, his palms were icy cold.

He said, "Leave the star cave, go south, and don't come back." He hit the ground with the witch's stick, and the snails hanging on the witch's head rustled, echoing in the star cave.

After so many years, this outsider living in the star cave failed to grow into a star cave man after all.If he keeps it, it will only make Xingdong feel uneasy.

Holding the jade huang, Chen walked out of the bone house, at the moment when the leather curtain of the bone house fell, he leaned towards the bone house and took a long time to get up.He knew that it was Zhe who saved his life in the first place, and it was Zhe who kept him in the star cave all these years, instead of letting him fend for himself.

Most of the people outside the bone house went back to sleep, and the old bear's skin was still there.

When Old Xiongpi heard footsteps, he raised his eyes, his eyes were cold.Chen walked past him, walking very slowly because of his leg injury, he didn't know that the old bear was watching him from behind.

Chen climbed the stone steps with hands and feet, and heard Old Xiongpi say behind him: "From now on, we will be enemies."

Chen didn't have any complaints, he had already intended to leave, but was just thinking about Xi.

After the old Xiongpi left, Chen was still crawling on the stone steps. He had to go to the lower floor and return to his sleeping place.

Suddenly an arm grabbed Chen, Chen looked up and saw Li and Xi.The two were silent, they supported Chen and led him down the stone steps.

I'm a star cave sinner, you all know that, right?Chen smiled wryly.

He would rather be alone like this, he was afraid that these two people would get close to him and be rejected by the star cave people.

The author has something to say: Director: The tribe Chen really belongs to is much more civilized than the people in Sunset Forest.

Yi: You are not allowed to go south, a person will die on the way.

Chen: Then I won’t go.
