Survival in Primitive Society

"Tell me, are you conspiring with the devil to take the souls of our tribe?"

"Do you think nothing will happen if you are silent? You let the devil go in front of all of us, and you don't take us too seriously. I think you are deeply deceived by the devil, come on , Give me the scepter, I will wake him up!"

"I will give you a chance of redemption. Tell the whereabouts of the devil, destroy him, and hand him over to the gods for punishment. Then the gods will forgive your sins."

"You are stubborn, and you still refuse to open your mouth so far. Continue to hit me with the rod."

"Sam, stop, you're going to kill Drew!"

"Drew? Do you still think he is the brave and fearless Drew of our tribe? He has dedicated his soul to the devil, and he has become the devil's accomplice! Now he is devoted to protecting that devil, and he is hopeless. I want Judge him instead of the gods!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? I want to hand him over to the gods, and let the gods purify his soul!"

"Stop, you can't do this!"

"What, Cortes, have you also been deceived by the devil and assimilated by this accomplice?"

"Of course not, Sam, you forgot, three days later will be Chunxi Day, and our tribe can't see blood! If you offend the gods, do you want our tribe to be unable to hunt any prey for a whole year?"

"Of course not, but I can't allow this accomplice who has evil thoughts about our entire clan to escape God's judgment!"

"Then let God make the decision."

"What do you mean, Cortez?"

"Just according to the old rules, hit him a hundred times with a god-given stone tool, then throw him into the jungle, and let the gods decide whether to take his life back as punishment."

"No way, Patriarch, have you forgotten that the devil disappeared in this forest? What you do will only give the devil a chance to rescue its companion."

"Sam, Chunxi Day is the most important day of the year. We can't make any mistakes. This is related to the survival of our entire clan. Under the blessing of God, you discovered their conspiracy, which means that God knows all about it. He'll make his judgment and we'll just go with it."

"Yeah, we can't bet on Chun Xiri. We can't offend the gods and cause the demise of our tribe without the devil doing anything. Let everything be decided by the gods!"

"Okay, let's take one hundred blows and drive him out of our tribe forever!"

"Just do as you say, Sam."

The muffled sound of the scepter hitting the body, the terrified but resentful eyes of the clansmen, the smug smile at the corner of Sam's mouth, the old man who has always been kind to himself no longer has any kindness in his eyes, only disappointment and even anger are left. Disgusted, the atmosphere made Drew feel like he was suffocating.

The sticking continued, but the physical pain could never overcome the despair and pain in my heart. The warm liquid slid down from my head, and finally my eyes were scarlet. I grew up in this place, and in the end, I slowly lowered my head and stuck it on this familiar land. This time, I am really going to die, abandoned by the tribe, and my body will be eaten by those ferocious beasts. There is no one named Drew in the world anymore.

What is this biting pain?What is this fishy smell?Why is there a bumpy feeling?Whose scream was it?This smell...why is this faint aroma so familiar?Why did it get warm all of a sudden?What is that slightly cool with soft touch?Wei'an... Xie Wei'an... Is this the last hallucination before dying?It's really a pleasure to meet you... But, Xie Wei'an, will you hear me...

Xie Wei'an was terrified, really terrified, anyone who saw a bloody person appearing in front of his eyes would be shocked, let alone someone he was familiar with.

After seeing Drew crouching on Barton's back like a dead man, Xie Wei'an didn't care about being afraid, and ran over to sniff Drew with a torch, but the result made Xie Wei'an feel cold all over, he shook his hands and patted Barton's tone was trembling, "Take, take him in, carry him, carry him into the cave!"

Barton walked forward in the direction pointed by Xie Wei'an, but Xie Wei'an sat on the ground with weak legs for a long time before taking a few deep breaths to support the ground, stood up and walked towards the cave step by step.

Walking into the stone cave, Barton who came in first put Drew on the ground because of his impatience. Xie Wei'an didn't have time to blame Barton, so he just went to the stone bed to take off the bed sheet and spread it on the hay, then moved Drew over. .

With the light of the fire, Xie Wei'an could clearly see the wounds on Drew's body. The wounds all over his body were caused by blunt instruments. The thick blood stuck the animal skin on Drew's body to the opened wounds. There is no good meat left and right.

"Don't die, don't die, don't die, can you..." Xie Wei'an couldn't imagine what Drew had suffered. He scratched Drew's eyelids with trembling hands, and then muttered while shaking his lips. He put his ear on Drew's chest, and after listening carefully for a while, the faint heartbeat that came into his ears made Xie Wei'an cry.

Weeping silently like a fool for a while, Xie Wei'an reached out to wipe away the tears, turned around and began to boil the water and decoct the herbs, then took out the Swiss army knife, used the scissors to cut off Drew's animal skin, and finally used the dipping A rag wet with boiling hot water gently wiped off the blood on Drew's back.

Perhaps the initial movements were a little trembling, but later on, Xie Wei'an's movements became more and more calm and calm. He knew that he could not panic in such a situation. If Drew wanted to survive, he had to rely on himself.And Ah Fu also seemed to know that the current situation was unusual, so he stayed obediently in Barton's arms and did not go to Xie Wei'an to act like a baby.

I don't know how long it took, when Xie Wei'an cleaned up all of Drew's wounds, the whole cave was already filled with a strong smell of blood, and Xie Wei'an was also sweating profusely.

On the other side, the Chinese medicine that had already been boiled was also kept warm in water. Xie Wei'an pursed his lips when he saw Drew's lips without a trace of blood, then turned around and brought the medicine juice over. At first, he wanted to feed it to Drew's mouth with a spoon. However, because Drew had an injury on his back, he kept a prostrate posture, which also caused Xie Wei'an to bleed out as much medicine juice as he fed in. Those medicine juices had no effect except to moisten Drew's lips. arrive.

Xie Wei'an looked at Drew who was lying there like a dead person, and finally his heart broke. With a mouthful of medicine juice in his mouth, he leaned over and squeezed Drew's mouth with his hands to ferry him in.

One mouthful, two mouthfuls, three mouthfuls, until the last mouthful of the medicine juice was put into Drew's mouth, Xie Wei'an sat down on the ground as if relieved, his mouth was full of the bitter taste of the medicine juice.

After feeding the medicine, Xie Wei'an didn't rest. He always tried his best to keep Drew farther away from death. He got up and took Drew to the forest to collect fresh herbs at night.

After collecting the herbs, washing, mashing, and carefully applying them to the wound for Drew, the sky began to dawn.

Panting heavily, Xie Wei'an struggled to lift Drew's body and listened to his heartbeat. Then, a gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and finally put Drew down gently, leaning against the cold cave wall, turning his head and stretching out his hands. After holding Drew's hand, he said softly, "I did everything I can, so you have to use your best efforts to survive and live well. Except for Fu and Barton, I only have you, so Don't die." When he said the last sentence, Xie Wei'an squeezed Drew's hand tightly, closed his eyes and let the exhaustion surge.

Some people are like this, the more they encounter major changes, the more tenacious they become. Xie Wei'an belongs to this kind.Because of the belief that Drew would open his eyes and recover, the back injury that had plagued his daily life seemed to be healed.Xie Wei'an works hard every day to carry water and chop firewood, plow the ground and sow seeds according to the plan, and pick up all the herbs that he knows are good for Drew, wash and dry in the shade, dry in the sun, and then pound them After suffering, I carefully cleaned Drew's wound every day, applied medicine to him and drank medicine for him.In order to ensure Drew's physical strength, he spends a lot of time cooking bone soup every day and feeds Drew bite by bite.

One day, three days, five days, seven days passed like this, and Drew still showed no signs of waking up, but Xie Wei'an's increasingly good-looking complexion and occasional fluttering eyelids made Xie Wei'an not yet desperate, as long as there was improvement, even the slightest It is enough to make Xie Wei'an feel that all his efforts are worthwhile.

In his free time, Xie Wei'an also stared at Drew who was still comatose in a daze, thinking whether he and Drew had a bad relationship. If he hadn't rescued him back then, he wouldn't have gone to Drew's tribe, nor What happened later would not let Drew suffer such torture because of himself.

But when I looked at Drew lying in the snow, could I really turn a blind eye?Xie Wei'an asked himself, he couldn't do it, the knowledge he learned from childhood and the teachings given by his elders didn't help him. He ignored this one indifferently. At this time, Xie Wei'an believed in the saying 'everything has a definite number'. I should save Drew by myself and then suffer this disaster. I saved Drew's life, and Drew saved my own life, but in the end, I saved Drew again. Thinking of this, Xie Wei'an burst out laughing. The Tao said when it was time to repay each other, but when it came to me, it was time to embrace each other with kindness.

Xie Wei'an stretched out his hand across Drew's eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Maybe, the main thing I came here for is to meet you..."

After muttering alone for a while, Xie Wei'an stood up again, he had to water the vegetable field outside.

Just after taking two steps, a weak voice came from behind, "Wei An..."

The same place, the same smiling face, and even the same joyful voice, Drew felt as if he had entered a reincarnation, and everything started again, but there was still a little difference. He saw the person standing not far from him Tears flickered in the corners of his eyes.

"you're awake?"

Such simple three words are the most beautiful notes at this moment for Drew and Wei'an.
