Survival in Primitive Society

The next morning, Drew started preparing for hunting after breakfast. He turned his head and looked at Xie Wei'an who was teasing Dan Qi and said, "It seems that neither Barton nor Ah Fu are planning to go out today, so they I'll be here with you, don't worry."

Hearing what Drew said, Xie Wei'an stopped what he was doing and looked at him, and laughed, "Didn't you already swear yesterday? Don't worry," Xie Wei'an stood up and walked to Drew's side to take care of him He straightened his fur clothes, "I'm also a man, don't treat me as fragile. You and Cortes are going to take Lien and the others to hunt today, so it's inevitable that you will be distracted, so be careful, safety comes first One."

Taking advantage of Xie Wei'an's tenderness towards him, Drew lowered his head and stole a kiss on the corner of Xie Wei'an's mouth, "Understood, I will come back soon after hunting."

"Oh~" Xie Wei'an didn't have time to say anything to Drew's sneak attack, but Dan Qi, who had been held in his arms all the time, made a sound, then kissed Xie Wei'an's mouth with a squeak, and then giggled, this The sudden movement stunned the two adults.

Xie Wei'an, who was the first to come back to his senses, gave Drew an angry look, "Look, the kid just wants to learn from it," he said without giving Drew a chance to explain, and began to wave his hands away, "Okay, okay , hurry up and hunt."

Drew, who was disgusted by Xie Wei'an, was a little dumbfounded. He wanted to sneak another kiss, but thought that Dan Qi was still watching, so he had to give up. After a few words of advice, he turned and left to find Cortes and took Dan Qi and the others to the forest. hunt.

Xie Wei'an watched Drew leave before looking down at Dan Qi who was playing happily while grabbing his clothes, as if he had noticed the way Xie Wei'an looked at him, Dan Qi raised his head and looked at Xie Wei'an in a silly way.

Xie Wei'an stretched out his hand to pinch Dan Qi's little nose, "Boy, I can't see that I've been eating tofu since I was a child, and when I grow up, won't I be popular among thousands of primitive boys and girls?"

Dan Qi couldn't understand what Xie Wei'an said, but thought it was very interesting that Xie Wei'an was arguing with him, so he kept pushing his head into Xie Wei'an's arms to avoid his hands, but the laughter in his mouth didn't stop.

Xie Wei'an now has nothing to do with Dan Qi's spirit that any communication with him can be regarded as playfulness by him, so it's fine after teasing him twice, and he opened his mouth and shouted outside the cave, "Ah Fu!"

Within ten seconds, Ah Fu ran in, grinning and flicking his tail, followed by the unhurried Barton.

Xie Wei'an has gotten used to the state of Barton ignoring anyone or anything except Ah Fu, so he just bent down and put Dan Qi on the animal skin mattress made by Drew, and then patted Ah Fu on the head, "Okay Ah Fu, help me accompany Dan Qi, I have to go to work."

Ah Fu was excited when he saw Dan Qi, who replaced him as the second generation of Routuanzi, stepped forward and nuzzled Dan Qi's belly, making him giggle non-stop.

Xie Wei'an was also used to Ah Fu's closeness to Dan Qi. After watching them play for a while, he left the cave by himself while Barton stood by.

"Wei'an, are you busy?" Just as Xie Wei'an was watering the vegetable field, a half-familiar voice came from outside the courtyard.

Xie Wei'an turned his head and saw that Gregor, the priest of the tribe, was standing there with a smile and greeted him. Xie Wei'an put down the bamboo tube for watering and shook his head, "It's okay, what do you want?"

Greg held up the thing wrapped in leaves in his hand, and replied, "You must keep your word, I'm here to talk to you about making salt and pottery."

Xie Wei'an didn't expect that Greg would come to talk to him about these things so soon, he was a little stunned, "Well...Cortes and Drew are not here, why don't we wait until they come back..."

Before Xie Wei'an finished speaking, Greg shook his head with a smile and interrupted him, "If you're hunting, you can find Drew and Cortes. For such a thing, it's better to find you, isn't it?"

Seeing Greg's determined expression, Xie Wei'an smiled for a while, and stepped forward to open the fence door, "Okay, please come in and talk."

Welcoming Greg into the courtyard, he poured a glass of water for him from a bamboo tube, and then asked, "Is there anything we need to do about making salt and pottery?"

Greg turned his gaze back from Barton and Ah Fu in the cave, and then took a sip of water before saying, "The agreement we made is to show the skills of making salt and pottery," Greg said. The small bag of salt wrapped in leaves was taken out and placed on the stone that Xie Wei'an used as a table, and continued, "You also know that our tribe encountered such a disaster that almost all of its residences were destroyed, so we had to find another place to live, so many things Of course, I didn’t bring it with me, and salt and pottery are indispensable in our life, so people in our tribe decided to start making pottery and salt in these two days. During this process, you and Drew can watch from the sidelines Learned, if you don’t understand anything, you can ask, and my tribe and I will do our best to answer you. You can try to do it yourself in the later stage. I think you will definitely learn these two techniques after a few times. Yes, what do you think?"

Of course, Xie Wei'an knew that this was a necessary step for learning. Watching, comprehending, trying time, and finally applying it, and Greg came to him on the second day after taking the oath is enough to show the relationship between him and his tribe. Sincerity, so Xie Wei'an nodded, "This is the best."

Seeing that Xie Wei'an agreed to his proposal without much hesitation, Greg seemed very happy, and told Xie Wei'an the general process of making salt and pottery. From the conversation, Xie Wei'an learned that Greg and the others made sea salt, and the method It is similar to the earliest salt-making method that Xie Wei'an occasionally saw when he was in school, but Xie Wei'an didn't have any idea that if he read the book carefully, he wouldn't have anything to do with Greg, because he knew very well that he didn't learn it. For this profession, salt making is not something that can be made just by thinking about it. Only practice can bring true knowledge. The theoretical knowledge that I can see at a glance should stand aside.

The reason Greg told Xie Wei'an these general procedures was also to show an attitude that he really knew these methods, and he wasn't trying to fool the other party.And Xie Wei'an also knew Greg's overtures well, facing such a win-win situation, Xie Wei'an was also happy to accept it.

It took a long time to finish talking about the seven or seven eight or eight things. Greg looked at the sky and was about to get up and leave. At this moment, Barton came out of the cave to look at the two people who were sitting and talking together, and just jumped. After reaching the outside of the yard and finally disappearing into the forest, Xie Wei'an never interfered with Barton's actions, so he was not surprised by its sudden disappearance, but Greg's face froze, with subconscious fear in his eyes.

It was rare for Xie Wei'an to see this experienced old man lose his composure. He smiled and said, "Button is like this, don't worry about it, as long as you don't mess with it, it won't take the initiative to attack people."

Gregor, who came back to his senses, looked a little embarrassed, and a little unbelievable, and smiled with some emotion, "I have lived for so long, and I never thought that the king in the forest would live in peace with people like this," said Greg looked at Xie Wei'an, "You are really incredible."

Xie Wei'an accepted Gregor's gaze calmly, and met the eyes that could only be amazed. Xie Wei'an's heart moved, and he glanced at the direction where Barton disappeared, then turned his head and asked, "Don't you think this is weird? Alone To be able to live with a bloodthirsty beast so peacefully, you also said that you have never seen it in such a long time, don't you think people like me are suspicious? Maybe..." Xie Weian said slowly Slowly said the conclusion drawn by the priest of the Drew Tribe, "Maybe I am a devil? That's why beasts like leopards and tigers have no intention of attacking me."

As soon as Xie Wei'an's words fell, Greg was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, as if Xie Wei'an had said something particularly interesting.

Xie Wei'an was baffled by Gregor's laughing Monk Zhang Er, and Xie Wei'an asked while the other party was panting, "What are you laughing at? Do you think my words are unbelievable?"

Although the laughter gradually became smaller, the smile on Greg's face was still obvious. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears in the corners of his eyes because of the laughter, then shook his head and said, "How can you be so weird?" thoughts?"

"Weird?" Xie Wei'an was stunned. He didn't expect Greg to draw such a conclusion from what he said, "Is this weird? It's very strange that a person who can't hunt enough can get along with a leopard tiger." Is it hard for people not to think of bad things?"

Greg looked at Xie Wei'an's serious discussion with himself, and shook his head again, "Although I have lived a long time and seen many more things than you young people, there are always many things in this world. I have never seen or heard of it. Things like yours are rare, but maybe they are not. It is your ability to live in peace with wild beasts. Do we have to think that things we have never known are the work of the devil? ?Since it’s unknown, why don’t you say it’s the magical power given to you by the gods? You can get close to leopards and tigers, but you have never used it to kill humans, but you just let it live its own life, without driving and being driven There is no coercion or coercion, does this kind of getting along really meet the requirements of the devil?" Greg stood up, patted Xie Wei'an on the shoulder and said kindly, "I am a priest, and I have seen many things , I only know that there is no evil in your eyes, only kindness, and a kind person will only be pleased by the gods, not what the devil needs." After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands, "Okay, I've finished the business, let's Let’s go back, and I’ll come back to you when it’s time to make salt and pottery.”

Because of Greg's words, Xie Wei'an's heart was a little shaken, he didn't come back to his senses for a moment, he just nodded and watched Greg leave, the old man stopped in front of the fence, turned around and pointed at Xie Wei'an's vegetable field He smiled and asked, "If you don't mind, I would like to ask, are you growing these plants for food?"

Xie Wei'an followed Gregor's gaze and nodded, "Yes."

Greg laughed even happier when he heard the answer, "That's good, our tribe also has some precious plant seeds, let's exchange some with each other when they bear fruit, how about it?"

Xie Wei'an looked at the old man who was always smiling, and nodded with a smile, "Okay."

After getting the answer, Greg let out that hearty laugh again, waved his hands and left.

Xie Wei'an looked at his back, feeling a little emotional in his heart, people are different after all, some are narrow and some are open-minded, some are ignorant and some are enlightened, getting along with a tribe with such a wise old man at the helm, the previous unpleasant experience will probably last forever Neither will play out.

Xie Wei'an stood for a while and was about to turn back to the cave when he saw Drew coming back from the forest with a group of people from a distance. He was a little surprised that Drew came back so early today, and another thought popped up in his mind, shouldn't it be Are you hurt?Startled by this thought, Xie Wei'an opened the door to greet him, and when he got closer, he found that everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles, and he let go of a hanging heart. Xie Wei'an walked over and waited for him to pass In front of Drew, he smiled at the people behind Drew as a greeting, and then asked Drew, "Didn't you and Cortez take Lien and the others to hunt? Why did you come back so early?" After taking a look at Drew to confirm that he was not injured, he asked again, "Is everything going well today?"

Drew patted Xie Wei'an on the shoulder reassuringly and replied, "Well, today is the first day I took them to hunt, so I didn't go too far, I just looked for prey around here, let's get used to it first."

Hearing what Drew said, Xie Wei'an nodded, and looked at Cortez jokingly, "So, how did you teach today?"

Cortez raised his head, showing a very frightened expression, "Is there any problem with me and Drew?"

And Lien behind him also helped, "Brother Drew and Brother Cortez are so powerful, they caught a prey in one go, and I didn't even see it clearly."

Seeing Li En's admiring look with shining eyes and looking at the expressions of the teenagers who were with him looking at idols, Xie Wei'an suppressed a smile and bumped into Drew, "It seems that this morning, everyone It's all about you!"

It was a bit strange for Drew to hear what Xie Wei'an said, but he couldn't tell why it was so strange, so he had no choice but to pinch Xie Wei'an quietly, and then said to Li En and the others, "You guys have worked hard today, go back first, and think about it carefully. During the hunting process today, think carefully about what you need to pay attention to and what needs to be improved, and tomorrow we will go hunting in the forest together at that time this morning as usual."

Lien and the others, who already regarded Drew as the absolute leader, nodded obediently after hearing this, and after dividing the prey, they turned around and walked towards the place where their tribe lived temporarily. He shouted at Drew and Cortes, "Tomorrow I will be the first to catch the prey."

Seeing Li En's full of energy, Drew smiled and waved, "Got it, go back!"

Cortes on the side also waved at Rin, then turned to Drew and Xie Wei'an and said, "I'll go back first, call me if you need something."

Drew nodded, "Well," he said, handing the prey on the ground to Cortez, "Here."

Cortez took the prey, waved his hand and left.

Drew turned around and said to Xie Wei'an, "Let's go back too."

Xie Wei'an smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Before going home, Xie Wei'an turned his head and glanced at the direction of Li En's tribe. There was already a curl of smoke rising there, and then looked at Drew walking beside him. Xie Wei'an lowered his head and smiled silently. One day is better.
