Survival in Primitive Society

In fact, when Xie Wei'an calmed down, he thought about why he was so kind to a person who had never met before and didn't know the identity and background of the other party, so he brought him back without doubt, healed his wounds, cooked for him, taught him He talks, cuts his hair, washes his hair, finds clothes for him, and allows the other party to live in the cave that he has arranged all the time... All these things are all from the past, things that Xie Wei'an would never even think about before time travel .

After thinking for a long time, Xie Wei'an came to a conclusion, probably because he was too afraid of being alone, this kind of life that seemed to be isolated from the world made Xie Wei'an feel as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, and no one knew his existence. Abandon the outside world, live by yourself and die by yourself.

Until Drew's appearance, the moment he saw Drew lying in the snow, Xie Wei'an felt a feeling of ecstasy in his heart, someone and someone appeared in his vision, I am not alone, I have not been abandoned by the whole world, what a gratifying realization.

That's why Xie Wei'an took Drew home without thinking, and did those things for him. Probably the original starting point was not to save Drew, but simply to comfort his already insecure heart.

But as time passed, Xie Wei'an was still glad that he rescued Drew back, but at this time, it didn't care about those naive thoughts and ideas at the beginning, but simply felt that Drew was really a very good person. .

Although Drew is silent, he always gives people a solid and reliable feeling. He is not the kind of existence that makes people feel very thoughtful and cunning.He knew that it was Xie Wei'an who rescued him, but he didn't follow Xie Wei'an every day and say thankful words, nor did he show an expression of gratitude all the time. He just silently helped Xie Wei'an to do what he could. For things, he would quietly listen to the sometimes boring Xie Wei'an babbling in a language he didn't understand, and he would show his eight white teeth when Xie Wei'an was entertaining himself. join in.

Drew's behavior made Xie Wei'an feel very comfortable. He didn't need a noisy person by his side, and Drew was really a good roommate.

During the long winter, it often snowed, and Xie Wei'an, who couldn't go out to do anything, could only stay in the cave to teach Drew to speak or let Drew teach himself to speak.

This is the same thing about language. If you speak every day and you are surrounded by such an environment, you can always learn it faster. This is why even a 50-year-old aunt who goes abroad for two years can learn They speak English fluently, but the young teenagers who have learned English for more than ten years in China are still the reason why they are blinded when they speak English.

Gradually, Xie Wei'an was able to communicate with Drew, whether it was in Chinese or Drew's language, which made Xie Wei'an a little proud. See, I learned a language that no one had ever heard.

Being able to communicate means that Xie Wei'an began to understand information about this world. During the conversation with Drew, Xie Wei'an once again affirmed his guess - he had traveled through time.But what makes Xie Wei'an even more frustrated is that he not only crossed, but also surpassed the level, because he is neither in any time, space, or boundary in China for 5000 years, and he is not even on the earth where he is. In any time and space in any time and space, I have traveled to a different time and space.

There is no China, no America, no Britain, France, Germany and Russia, nothing at all, not the Han Dynasty, not the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, not the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, this is just a primitive, uncivilized world - Xie Wei'an thinks that it is better to describe it as a primitive society Some.

It is a primitive society because they now wear animal skins and eat food roasted by fire. They don't know farming and farming, they don't know what cloth is, and they don't even know when the fire is used to roast food. It was preserved when a tree was chopped down. For this precious fire, they even sent people to guard and protect it day and night.

They live in groups and use the cave as their home. They distribute food like the lions. The young and middle-aged eat first, then the children, and finally the women and the old, weak, sick and disabled, because they must ensure the physical strength of the young and middle-aged, so that they can Make sure to hunt more prey so that the tribe can continue to survive.

But they are a little bit different from the primitive society, because in addition to their tribal leaders, they also have characters similar to priests. Their existence is to pray that God will give them enough food for a year. It is to expel the evil spirit attached to the patient when someone in the clan is sick, so that the clan can recover as soon as possible...

Listening to Drew's narration piecemeal, Xie Wei'an had only one thought in his mind - this fucking world, this fucking time travel.

"What's wrong with you?" After Drew finished his narration, he found that Xie Wei'an was not listening to his own words but was staring at the fire in a daze. Drew stretched out his hand and pushed Xie Wei'an.

"Huh? What?" Xie Wei'an recovered and looked at Drew who was looking at her, thinking that he had said something to her and she missed it, "What did you say?"

"No," Drew shook his head, "I just saw you in a daze."

Xie Wei'an nodded when he heard Drew's answer, "Oh, yes, I was a little distracted for a while."

"En." Drew responded, and then looked at Xie Wei'an hesitantly, obviously wanting to say something.

Xie Wei'an, who came back to his senses, noticed Drew's expression, and he stretched out his hand in front of Drew's eyes in a funny way, "What's the matter? Have something to say? Excuse me?"

Drew twitched the corner of his mouth, "No, it's that..."

Seeing Drew's hesitation, Xie Wei'an found it interesting, "What's the matter, is there anything you can't tell me?"

"That's it." Drew took a deep look at Xie Wei'an, and finally made up his mind, "In a few days, spring will be here, I, I must go back to the tribe, you, will you go back with me? ?”

"Eh?" Xie Wei'an was a little stunned for a moment, never thinking that Drew wanted to talk to himself about this matter.

"I want to ask you, are you willing to go back to the tribe with me?" Now that the most hesitant words have been uttered, Drew feels that the next words are much more fluent. He looked at Xie Wei'an with burning eyes and said sincerely, [I Thank you for saving me and taking me in, but spring is here and the weather is getting warmer, so I'm going back to the tribe.Because after a harsh winter, the food in the tribe must be almost enough to eat. At this time, the middle-aged men in the tribe need to go out to hunt for food to maintain the survival of the tribe. Without me, there will be one less in the tribe The power of hunting, the food brought back will be affected, and some tribesmen who can't eat will die, so I have to go back.However, I want you to go back with me, I, I,] At this point, Drew's tone became stammered, and finally he said his own words with a slightly red face, [I don't worry about you alone People live here, so come back with me and live with our people, okay?I don't know where you come from, but I know you are a good person, I don't want you to be alone in the deep forest, I think life will be happier with many people, and I can hunt, I can hunt Lots of prey came back! ]

Drew couldn't speak Chinese when he was in a hurry, and his own language was popping out like beans. Fortunately, Xie Wei'an can understand it now.Xie Wei'an understood Drew's meaning. It's spring, and he has to go back to the tribe, because there are still people waiting for him to go back to hunt and save his life, but he is worried that he will stay here alone, so he wants to invite himself to his tribe To live, he can hunt a lot of prey for himself.

Well, it was obviously an extremely honest invitation, but Xie Wei'an always felt that there was something subtly wrong with these words, and when facing Drew's slightly flushed face, Xie Wei'an himself felt a little uncomfortable. The shy expression of the man who keeps the iron-blooded tough guy expression is the killer, okay?

Of course, this kind of discomfort lasted for a while, and Xie Wei'an's brain immediately began to think about the business. He naturally thought that he would leave one day after saving Drew, because judging from the conversations in those days after he woke up, Xie Wei'an knew that Drew was not a lone ranger like himself who lived alone.Now that he understands the background of this era, Drew’s words make him even less surprised. People in this primitive era probably think that the tribe is more important than everything else. That is their common home, and they live step by step. Work hard to grow up, and when you grow up, you must hunt hard for the survival of the tribe.In their minds, there is no concept of who does more and who does less. Everything is for the tribe.

Now, Drew was about to leave, and he asked Xie Wei'an to let him leave with him, but when faced with this invitation that was almost the same as Xie Wei'an's expectation of letting him meet the crowd, Xie Wei'an Suddenly hesitant, he looked into Drew's sincere eyes, looked at them for a while, and then smiled politely, "Let me think about it, think about it..."

This was the first time Drew saw Xie Wei'an's perfunctory smile, he was taken aback for a moment, but nodded, "Well, okay."

Drew can't force Xie Wei'an to do things according to his own ideas, although he really wants Xie Wei'an to leave with him, he doesn't want to see Xie Wei'an's smile and hear Xie Wei'an's voice again, and, most importantly What's more, he was worried about Barton.

Yes, Drew was worried about Barton. Although after getting along for such a long time, Drew no longer looked at Barton as a prey, and Barton no longer looked at Drew with murderous eyes, but in Delu In Lu's mind, Barton was still a dangerous and brave beast, changeable, cunning, and cruel.Because of such traits, Drew would not be at ease. He already knew that the prey he ate was all captured by Barton, but was this a whim of the beast or something else?Xie Wei'an doesn't have the ability to hunt, but will Barton always hunt prey for Xie Wei'an like this?What if Barton leaves?What should Xie Weian do?In Drew's heart, if people don't eat meat, they will starve to death. Therefore, if Barton leaves one day, what awaits Xie Wei'an is a death that he doesn't want to see.

The accumulation of various factors became Drew's idea of ​​taking Xie Wei'an away, but what Drew said was not the result he wanted. It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed, but Drew was still willing. Wait for Xie Wei'an to change his mind.

In Drew's heart, letting Xie Wei'an follow him back to the tribe is like his own tribe needs to migrate, and it needs to be considered for a long time.

Over there, Xie Wei'an was not willing to think about this question. He poked the fire with a branch and asked, "Drew, do you know how long winter will be over?"

After thinking about it, Drew replied, "There are still more than ten days, what's the matter?"

Xie Wei'an smiled, "I have been cats in the cave for so long in winter, and I have almost eaten enough food. I don't think it is snowing much now, so I want to go out and see if there is any food to bring back. Firewood is also available." It's almost used up, and I need to cut it again..."

Hearing Xie Wei'an's plan, Drew suddenly felt a little guilty. Maybe if it wasn't for his own existence, Xie Wei'an wouldn't have to worry about food at all, but in the next second, he was determined to persuade Xie Wei'an to leave with him ——If I leave, Xie Wei'an will live like this in the future, Xie Wei'an's body is too thin in my opinion, life in the forest is full of too many variables, I must take him away.

Of course, these thoughts were just in Drew's mind. He looked at Xie Wei'an who was staring blankly at the fire and said, "Tomorrow, I'll take you out to find food."

"Eh?" Xie Wei'an looked at Drew.

Drew showed his standard smile, "In fact, occasionally people from our tribe will come out to hunt in winter. This is deep in the forest. I think the prey must be more abundant, and there are no big beasts. It is actually very interesting. So I'll take you there tomorrow, okay?"

Xie Wei'an looked at Drew's face who was full of confidence when it came to hunting, and smiled, "Okay."
