Survival in Primitive Society

Drew became silent, and Xie Wei'an discovered this shortly after Drew woke up.

From the moment he woke up, Drew didn't speak unless necessary, he just rested silently, ate, drank his medicine, and asked Xie Wei'an to change his medicine.Except for simple words like 'thank you', 'um', 'no' and 'good', Xie Wei'an couldn't hear Drew say much.

But Xie Wei'an also understands Drew. Anyone who is treated like this by someone close to him will inevitably feel cold and hurt, so Xie Wei'an does not force Drew to say anything in particular. For a man like Drew who is originally a taciturn man, you are tough. Talking to him is not a comfortable thing for him, Xie Wei'an can only do his best to take good care of Drew so that his injury can heal quickly.

At least, in Drew's occasional grateful eyes, Xie Wei'an knew that his efforts were not in vain.

Although it was already spring, the temperature in the forest did not rise as rapidly as in the original city. At least at night, it was necessary to light a bonfire to fall asleep.

Both Xie Wei'an and Drew were sleeping on the stone bed, and each of them had a quilt, which was regarded as non-interference with each other, but when Xie Wei'an woke up in a daze and saw that there was nothing around him, he was still stunned, and reached out to touch it. Touching the mattress next to it, there was no heat in it.

Xie Wei'an rubbed his eyes, sat up and looked around the cave, except for Barton who was sleeping with Ah Fu in his arms, there was no sign of Drew.

Sitting awake for a while, Xie Wei'an got up and put on his clothes, then picked up the military overcoat that was put aside and walked towards the entrance of the cave. When he reached the haystack, Patton, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xie Wei'an with sharp eyes. Looking from the side, Xie Wei'an subconsciously stretched out his index finger and made a booing motion, and then when Barton's eyes touched Xie Wei'an, he also covered up the murderous look in his eyes, and hugged Ah Fu tightly in his arms again, closing his eyes. The upper eye doesn't care about Xie Wei'an anymore.

He quietly opened the bamboo door and closed it again, Xie Wei'an turned around and saw Drew sitting on the stone in the yard looking at him.

Xie Wei'an smiled and raised the military overcoat in his hand, walked over to Drew and put it on him, "I know you are powerful and powerful, so don't show off your power in this special period, it's no fun to catch a cold things."

Drew couldn't understand Xie Wei'an's first sentence, but thought it sounded interesting. Feeling the warmth brought by the coat on his body, Drew also smiled, "Thank you."

Xie Wei'an waved his hands and sat down beside Drew, "Why, can't sleep?"

"Yeah." Drew nodded and responded in a low voice.

"Hmm..." Xie Wei'an raised his head and took a deep breath, "It's good to look at the moon and stars if you can't sleep, the stars and moon here are much brighter than ours."

Following Xie Wei'an's words, Drew also raised his head, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, Drew suddenly said, "I'm sorry, and thank you."

Drew's apology and thanks made Xie Wei'an look down at Drew, looking at Drew's resolute side face, Xie Wei'an smiled slightly, "Actually, I should say sorry and thank you. Thank you for saving me. I'm also sorry because I caused you to become like this, I feel very sorry in my heart."

Drew turned his head to meet Xie Wei'an's eyes, and shook his head after a long time, "It's nothing, you wouldn't have encountered so many things if it wasn't for me..."

"Stop talking about these self-criticisms. Things can happen and have passed. Don't stay in the past." Xie Wei'an doesn't want Drew to keep sinking like this. He is a resolute and brave man, and he should take the lead as before. Swaying his sweat and smile in the forest with stone tools, instead of becoming a lost puppet like now, it's not like Drew, "I don't know what happened to you, and I don't know if those What happened makes you so sad now, but I just want to say that the past is always the past, and it can never be undone. What we need is to live in the present. I don’t want to see you like this, I want to see the original Drew " Having said this, Xie Wei'an took a breath before continuing, "I heard people say that if you want to heal a wound, you have to look directly at the pain, and you will feel happy when you say it. But I also know that not everyone It's all like this. Some people don't want others to see his wounds, but just want to lick their wounds to make themselves better. I don't know what kind of you are, but I just want to tell you, if you want to say, then I will definitely listen, and at least speaking out will let others share some of it for you. If you don’t want to talk, I respect you too, and I will wait for you to come out of the hurt, and I have confidence in you.”

After talking so much, Drew still listened silently, Xie Wei'an thought maybe he just wanted a time alone, so he stood up and said, "Sit alone for a while, don't take too long, it's too cold at night , I went first."

But before taking two steps, Xie Wei'an's footsteps stopped because of Drew's words, "I was expelled from the tribe."

With just seven words, Xie Wei'an could hear the boundless pain in it. He sighed silently, then turned around and sat down next to Drew again. He knew that Drew needed a loyal audience now.

"I didn't belong to this tribe at first. I was picked up from the forest by the patriarch when I was a baby, but I grew up in this tribe. I think this is my home. I thought I would be in this tribe. Live forever and die. I don't know who my parents are, but it doesn't matter, the patriarch is good to me, and the people in the tribe are good to me, I think, maybe that's why Sam hates me so much "Well," Drew had a helpless wry smile on his face, "When I was young, the relationship between me and Sam wasn't that bad. We were good playmates, and we promised to be the best in the tribe. Brave warriors. But then we grew up, and I led the people to hunt in the forest, running around for the people's livelihood rations, and Sam became a priest. I know, that's not what he wanted, but that It was God's choice, and he couldn't resist. Gradually, Sam became farther and farther away from me, and later, he never spoke to me again. I know, he hates me, hates me and becomes a He is a hunter and he can only stay in the tribe forever in order to communicate with the gods. He always thinks that the patriarch is too partial to me, so he stays in the tribe as a priest. I thought, as long as he stays away from him, it will be fine , even if he can't understand, nothing will happen as long as I stay away from him, but," Drew clenched his fists tightly, "I underestimated Sam's hatred, jealousy and resentment towards me It has twisted his heart, and at that moment, I realized that what he needs is not my avoidance, but my life, and he will be happy only if I disappear from his eyes forever." Drew's voice was low Go on, "If it wasn't for Cortes, I might have died in the tribe."

"Eh? Wait, Cortez?" Xie Wei'an was confused again, "But Barton brought you back, didn't he save you?"

"No," Drew shook his head, with some doubts on his face, "Sam was going to burn me to death with divine fire, but Cortez stopped him with the excuse that it would be Haruhiri a few days later. In the end, the patriarch sentenced me to death." God bestowed one hundred stone staffs, and then drove them out of the tribe and threw them into the jungle to be chosen by the gods," Drew took a deep breath and murmured, "Perhaps, I shouldn't belong to that tribe..."

Hearing Drew's explanation, Xie Wei'an recalled what happened that night again, and pieced together a rough idea. Those tribesmen threw Drew into the jungle, and the gray wolf that came out to look for food found Drew. Cautious came to call Barton, so Barton was able to carry Drew back. I have to say that some beasts have indeed become as good as human beings. I have to say that it is thanks to their human nature that Drew's life was saved. .

Xie Wei'an turned his head to look at Drew's painful expression, his heart softened, he stretched out a hand to cover Drew's hand, and said softly, "It's okay, there is me, and Ah Fu and Barton, we All by your side."

Feeling the small warmth of Xie Wei'an's palm and looking at Xie Wei'an's clear eyes, Drew suddenly stretched out his arms to hug Xie Wei'an, his voice choked up, "I... I don't know, I never knew that the tribe would look at you with such eyes. They look at me... They don't trust me, they hate me, their eyes seem to want me to die in front of their eyes. I never thought... Never thought it would be like this. I was abandoned by the tribe, abandoned forever It's..."

The scorching liquid flowed to the side of Xie Wei'an's neck, and Xie Wei'an was a little breathless when he hugged him tightly, but he did not refuse. He knew that Drew, an iron man, was the most vulnerable now, and everyone said that a man could not cry. Flick, it's just that it hasn't reached the sad point.Such a man from ancient times, his thoughts are always simple and down-to-earth, and his heart is for the tribe. For such a person, the tribe is everything to him, but now he is abandoned by the most important existence in his life. Such a blow , it is difficult for anyone to accept.

Thinking of this, Xie Wei'an felt a little sad, he raised his hand and patted Drew on the back lightly, without saying anything.

When Drew woke up, it was broad daylight. Drew, who slept so late for the first time, found that the cave was empty. Except for the burning bonfire, Xie Wei'an, Patton and Ah Fu were gone, Coming voices proved they were sitting something in the yard.

Sitting on the stone bed, Drew thought about the conversation last night, the warm embrace that was like a fire in winter to him, and a smile could not help but appear on his face. In fact, meeting Xie Wei'an was really very good.

After sitting for a while, Drew lifted the quilt and got out of bed. After getting dressed slowly, he walked to the hole and opened the bamboo door. The bright sunlight hit his face, causing Drew's eyes to narrow. It took a while to see that Xie Wei'an was pouring water on the ground, while Barton was playing in the yard with Ah Fu.

Seeing Drew standing at the entrance of the cave, Xie Wei'an stopped what he was doing, stood up and looked at him with a smile, "Are you up?"

"Yeah." Drew nodded.

Xie Wei'an also murmured, and after thinking for a while, he asked Drew loudly, "Drew, can I ask you a question?"

I don't know why Xie Wei'an's expression suddenly became serious, but Drew still nodded, "Of course."

"Then Drew," Xie Wei'an saw that Drew agreed, so he continued to ask, "Would you like to join our tribe?"

"What?" As soon as Xie Wei'an asked the question, Drew was a little stunned.

"I said," Xie Wei'an's smile was very bright at the moment, he looked at Drew and said word by word, "Drew, would you-will-will-join-our-our-tribe-horse-?" said After Xie Wei'an pointed to Barton, "Our tribe has the most reliable guardian," then pointed to Ah Fu, "There is the cutest little meat ball that can relieve boredom," and then pointed to himself with some trepidation, "Is there a guardian?" We have the best golden brains and cooks." Finally, he cast his eyes on Drew who was listening attentively to his speech, "But we still lack the strongest hunter, so," Xie Wei'an paused at this point , repeated loudly again, "Would you like to join us?"

After a long, long time, Drew can still remember that day, the sun was shining brightly, the air was very fresh, and the most unforgettable thing was Xie Wei'an's bright smiling face and his invitation to remember for life.

Looking at the six pairs of eyes looking at him together, Drew heard his answer, "I am willing."
