Survival in Primitive Society

Because they were thinking about going to help Xie Wei'an and Drew, Cortes and Lilian first tidied up the cave and then took today's prey to Xie Wei'an and Drew's home.

The one who welcomed Cortez was Drew who was hugging the baby in a hurry. Seeing the two standing outside the door, Drew showed a row of white teeth, "I thought you guys would come over later."

Women probably have no resistance to children by nature. Before Lilian had time to talk to Drew, she ran towards the child in Drew's arms with a bright smile on her face, "Wow, what a beautiful child, come and give me a hug."

Drew always feels that his rough hands and feet will hurt him. To him, he is really a soft and boneless child. In Xie Wei'an's words, Drew holding a child is like a big brown bear holding a Barbie in his arms. Doll, very awkward.So Lilian wanted to hug Drew because she couldn't wish for it. After quickly sending the child to Lilian's arms, she moved her body, noticed Cortez's gaze, and Drew smiled a little embarrassedly, "Such a small child With the child in my arms, I don't even know how to move."

Cortes was also deeply touched by this, "Yeah, such a small ball, I'm afraid it will be broken." As he spoke, Cortes began to look at the place where Drew and Xie Wei'an lived, and when his eyes touched the After the neat land was reclaimed piece by piece, Cortes looked curious, "What is that?"

Drew turned his head to look in the direction Cortez pointed, and replied with a smile, "That's the vegetable that Wei An grows."

"Dish?" Cortez's eyes were full of doubts.

"Well, vegetables," Drew said with pride when talking about the vegetables grown by Xie Wei'an, "It's all grown by Wei'an, and they can be eaten when they are ripe. There are other flavors that can be changed, which is much more comfortable than eating meat alone. " Speaking of what Drew thought of, he clapped his hands and said, "Ah, by the way, Wei'an dug some spring bamboo shoots back today, and today you are lucky."

"Spring bamboo shoots?" Cortez became the original Drew, and he had a new question after saying one sentence.

At this time, Drew played Xie Wei'an's original role very well, "Yes, bamboo shoots are a kind of edible vegetable, and they are delicious when used in stew."

"Soup?" Cortes felt that he didn't know much about Xie Wei'an, but that he didn't understand at all. Things related to Xie Wei'an are now a brand new world in Cortez's view, because he has never seen or heard of it Never heard of it.

"Well, it's stewed in a pot, the meat is stewed rotten, and the soup is very thick, and it feels comfortable to drink a bowl of it." Drew has become accustomed to eating other than barbecue, and now if he is asked to He probably wouldn't be able to stand eating barbecue.

Cortez was about to ask what the pot was, but Drew said happily, "Barton and Alfred are back!"

Upon hearing Barton's name, all the muscles in Cortez's body tensed up. With a stiff expression, he turned around and looked at the majestic leopard tiger with an animal that said it was a wolf but didn't look like a wolf. The prey is running this way.

Drew patted Cortes reassuringly to calm him down, then smiled and opened the fence gate to welcome Barton's return, "Hey, buddy, today's harvest is very good!" After speaking, he patted Ah Fu on the head again, "Little guy, you have a good harvest today!"

For Drew's praise, Button and Ah Fu's reactions were completely different. Button just flicked his tail and walked straight into the yard, while Ah Fu happily rubbed around Drew's legs.

Drew is used to this kind of response. He laughed and walked into the yard with Barton Alfred, and then hurried away when Barton stopped when he saw Cortes with a stiff expression and Lillian with an unconcealed fear. After two steps, he said to Barton, who had been looking at Cortez and Lillian, and Alfred, who was baring his teeth, "Hey, guys, this is my friend, Cortez and Lillian, my good friends."

Perhaps it was because of Drew's approaching gestures towards Cortes and Lillian, or maybe it was because Barton felt that these two humans were not threatening, so he just looked at them for a while and took Ah Fu back to it with a calm expression. exclusive cave.

After Barton and Ah Fu completely returned to the cave, Cortes and Lilian, who were motionless, let out a sigh of relief as if they had released the immobilization spell.

Cortez looked at Drew who was looking at him with a wry smile, "To be honest, I never thought in my life that I could be so close to a leopard and tiger in peace."

Drew felt quite empathetic, after all, he was quite frightened when he saw Barton for the first time, Drew waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, it will be fine after a while, Barton won't show his fangs to people he knows well .”

While talking, Xie Wei'an came out of the stone cave, and when he saw Cortes, he nodded to him as a greeting, and then said to Drew, "Go and chop some firewood, or I'm afraid it won't be enough later .”

After hearing this, Drew nodded and went forward to get the hatchet and was ready to go out. Cortes also stepped forward when he saw it, "I'll go with you."

Drew smiled, "No, are you a guest? You just moved, so let's rest for a while, and I'll be right back." After speaking, he pushed Cortez into the yard, and walked quickly into the woods go.

Drew's departure forced Cortes and Lillian to face Xie Wei'an alone. The atmosphere was awkward for a while, but Xie Wei'an didn't really care. Tess and Lilian greeted, "Come in and have a glass of water, you must be exhausted just now."

Since Xie Wei'an has spoken, it's not easy for Cortes and Lilian to stick around in the yard, they both nodded and followed Xie Wei'an into the cave.

Entering the cave, Cortes and Lilian were once again amazed by the never-before-seen objects in the cave, such as thin containers that can be directly placed on the fire, and containers of the same material used for stirring The water utensils in the hole, the warm products that look soft, and the strange and indescribable things piled up in the corner of the hole, all of these are extremely novel to Cortez and Lilian , but at this time they all kept silent tacitly, Xie Wei'an didn't say anything, they didn't ask, this was respect for Xie Wei'an, and also showed their goodwill.

At this moment, Xie Wei'an had to pay attention to the stewed meat in the pot and was distracted from pouring water for the two, so he didn't notice the change in their expressions, and just put the hot water that had just been boiled in a bamboo tube and handed it to Cortez With Lilian's hand, "It's a bit hot, let's drink it after cooling down."

Cortez and Lilian thanked each other cautiously before taking the water glass. Xie Wei'an didn't want the communication between them to be too deliberate, so he smiled at them and turned to continue cooking.

Lilian sat for a while, but the baby in her arms was clamoring to go out, so when she faced Xie Wei'an, Lilian felt a little sorry for him, got up and took the baby to the yard. Xie Wei'an and Cortes.

Seeing Xie Wei'an's earnest cooking, Cortez broke the silence with a light cough, "That... I'm sorry."

The sudden apology made Xie Wei'an stop stirring the soup, Xie Wei'an smiled indifferently, "You and Drew are really good friends, we both like to apologize."

Because of Xie Wei'an's joke, Cortez felt a little relaxed. Although Xie Wei'an didn't seem to care about what happened before, Cortez felt that he should express his apology for those unpleasant memories, "because it must I apologize, that's why I have to say I'm sorry." Cotters paused for a while, and said with some emotion, "I thought you wouldn't want to see me and Lilian again, I didn't expect you to be friends with us again .”

The apology and emotion in Cortez's tone were so sincere, and the expression on Xie Wei'an's face softened a lot. He didn't stop stirring the soup. He only raised his head and thought for a while before continuing, "It's like what I said to Drew. Yes, I have a grudge against your tribe, I have nothing against you and Lillian. At that time Lillian stood up for me and you saved Drew when he was blamed. So, somehow Speaking of which, I am grateful to you and Lilian. Maybe I still feel a little uncomfortable when recalling those things, but it is Drew's wish to be neighbors or even friends with you, and I am willing to try." Speaking of which, Xie Wei'an turned his head and smiled at Cortez, "It looks pretty good now, doesn't it?"

Listening to Xie Wei'an's words, Cotes always felt that there was something weird about it, but he couldn't put it into words, seeing Xie Wei'an's smiling face, Cotes didn't think about it, just smiled and nodded, "Yes, it used to be I'm too narrow, you are indeed a very good friend." After speaking, Cortes and Xie Wei'an laughed at the same time.

On this night, Cortes and Lilian ate dishes that were completely different from their previous lives. For the first time, they knew that meat can be cooked in this way and that it can be matched with other foods. They did not hesitate to praise them. Afterwards, Xie Wei'an said that he conquered people in primitive society with his not-so-authentic Chinese cuisine.

When the two of them left after eating their bellies, the atmosphere between them was much more harmonious than when they just came. During the dinner, Cotes and Lilian suddenly understood Xie Wei'an's silence at the beginning, whether it was for Barton or Ah Fu, or various objects in those caves that they have never seen before, Xie Wei'an just wanted to protect the things that belonged to him that he cared about.

Xie Wei'an and Drew stood at the gate of the yard and watched Cortes and Lilian holding torches and saying goodbye to them with a smile and then walked towards their new home. A kiss, "I'm so happy that you got along so well with Cortez and Lillian today, thank you."

Drew's sudden sneak attack made Xie Wei'an slightly startled, and he gave Drew a reproachful look, "What are you doing!" After speaking, he glanced nervously at the place where Cortes and Lilian left .

Xie Wei'an's nervous look pleased Drew, and he hugged Xie Wei'an's shoulder with a low smile, "It's okay, they are our friends, and it's okay to know."

"Tch," Xie Wei'an gave Drew a white look, "It's nothing if you say it's nothing, you're not a roundworm in their stomach!" After speaking, he turned around and wanted to go back to the cave.

"Hey, what are roundworms? Why are they in the stomach," Drew said, holding Xie Wei'an's hand, "Why does it sound so hairy?"

"Hmph, want to know what roundworms are? Please..." Xie Wei'an followed the trend and pulled Drew back to the cave together, laughing and laughing.

"Cotes, what are you looking at?" Lilian, who was walking towards her new home together with Cortes, originally wanted to discuss with Cortes the novelty things in Xie Wei'an and Drew's caves, but she found that Cortes was turning her head He looked in the direction of Drew's stone cave.

"Huh? It's nothing." Cortes turned his head because of Lilian's words, frowned slightly and replied, "I just want to see if Drew and Vian have gone back."

"Oh," Lilian had no doubts about this, she just said with great interest, "I just found out today that meat can be cooked like that, it tastes better than roast meat, and you can drink warm soup , that's really good, don't you think, Cortez?"

Cotes, who seemed a little absent-minded, nodded perfunctorily, "Well, I think so too."

Seeing that her own words were agreed, Lilian became even more interested, "However, to cook meat like that, you need a pot like Wei'an's. Speaking of which, his pot is really amazing. It won’t burn on the fire, and I don’t know where he got it. Was it made by his original tribe? There are also those spoons and soft quilts, which look so incredible. Wei'an is really a mysterious existence..."

Lilian talked vigorously to herself, while Cortes kept replaying the scene he saw just now when he turned around in his mind. There seemed to be something strange between Drew and Xie Wei'an. As for why it was so strange, Cortes also said I don't understand, I just feel that the intimacy seems a bit too much, why don't I ask Drew when I'm hunting tomorrow - Cortes thought secretly in his heart.

Maybe it was because I moved away from that strange and uneasy environment, or maybe it was because my most trustworthy friend was so quiet away from me. This night, both Cortes and Lilian had a long-lost sleep. Sleep.
