Through the wild age

Chen Qiao couldn't tell whether he was lucky or unlucky, even though everything was bad here, he lived a very stable life.Every morning, someone brought fresh fruit and barbecue, and he could go out and wander around when he was free. Although he never dared to leave the tribe too far, he was an absolute weakling in this unknown world.

I often watched men come back carrying large beasts, and occasionally people were injured, and even once, what came back was just a broken corpse.The tribe lit up a bonfire that soared to the sky that night. Men and women sang around the bonfire, watching the corpses being devoured by the flames...

Chen Qiao understands that he does not exist as a "male" in this tribe, nor will he be a "female", so what exactly is he?He thought for many days and finally figured it out.He is Chen Qiao, an outsider.

One morning, he took the food in the house and prepared to go for a walk by the river.Walking and walking, I found a child has been following him. Boys in the tribe start hunting with adults when they are 13 years old. Girls are usually arranged for a partner when they are 13 years old. They can choose by themselves, but they do not have the right to be single. It is estimated that they No idea of ​​being single either.

This boy is still very young, about six or seven years old, he carefully keeps a certain distance from Chen Qiao, neither getting close nor far away.

Chen Qiao just went on his own, he is not in the mood to coax the child right now.When he walked to the river, he took out the food and ate it. The barbecue was a little hard. The food here is not good. The simple barbecue has a little salty taste, and I don't know what those guys smeared on it.After finally eating the barbecue, he took out the fruit and washed it in the water. After thinking about it, he threw one to the child next to him.

"Crack, click." Chen Qiao took the fruit and gnawed it sweetly. This kind of fruit was very strange. He had never seen it before. It was very crisp, sweet and juicy.

After nibbling the fruit and wiping his mouth, he saw the child approaching him at some point.Chen Qiao glanced at him suspiciously, and the child ran away as if flying away.

"People in this world are really introverted." He sighed boredly. , I haven't finished expressing my emotions here, but I saw the child running over like flying again, the legs and feet are so good, Chen Qiao is envious.

The child lowered his head and brought things in front of Chen Qiao with both hands.Strictly speaking, these things were originally Chen Qiao's private property: a box of needles, a thread, and a pair of socks with holes.

Chen Qiao took the things as a matter of course. Although these things are not worth much, in this world, as long as they are sold properly, they are also priceless.

The small calculations in his mind were crackling, completely ignoring that there was another person in front of him, until a voice suddenly reminded him that he realized that he hadn't thanked him yet.

"Dilla"

"?" Chen Qiao didn't know what the other party wanted to express.

"Dilla," said the child, pointing to himself.

"Dilla" Chen Qiao also imitated him and pointed at each other with his fingers.

"!" The child smiled happily while nodding.

"Chen Qiao." Chen Qiao also reported his name.

……

So Chen Qiao had her first friend, a child named Dila.After that, Dila would cling to Chen Qiao almost every day, to the point that he was a little impatient sometimes, but this was the only person in the tribe who was willing to talk to him. No matter what, Chen Qiao would never offend him.

The greatest gift Dila brought him is the language here.He chatted with Chen Qiao every day, sometimes they chatted randomly, sometimes it was just him talking to himself excitedly.

After a long time, Chen Qiao not only learned the language here, but also learned about various gossip events in the tribe. For example, his father, the patriarch, stepped on a hedgehog while hunting today; for example, the son born to the wizard's wife It's an ugly monster; for example, when the patriarch was choosing a wife, a man suddenly fell from the sky, and everyone said it was God's will.And this person happened to be Chen Qiao.

So strictly speaking, Dila is considered Chen Qiao's cheap son, but what is Dila's own?stepmother?Chen Qiao didn't want to linger on this issue.

His cheap son was born to the patriarch's last wife. That woman died when he was four years old, and he was taken care of by the only widow in the tribe.Speaking of this widow, there is also a legendary past.It is said that the incident happened when she was newly married, and the tribe was more tolerant to newly married men and women, so during that time his man did not have to go hunting, but picked fruit with her on the nearby mountain.

There are generally no wild animals on the mountains near the tribe, so women can safely go up the mountain alone or in groups.It's just that there was an accident that time, and a large beast appeared on the mountain. Dila mentioned the specific beast, but Chen Qiao couldn't understand it.His man was bitten to death by a ferocious beast, and instead of retreating, the woman used the mountain she was familiar with to kill the beast.Since then, he has become a legend in the tribe, so even if she no longer chooses a partner, no one in the tribe will make things difficult for her.

This is the story of the only widow in the tribe.The widow's name has been forgotten, and everyone just keeps calling her the widow.When Dila told this story, he was elated and drooling, which shows that he still likes and respects his "nanny" very much.However, it doesn't seem close.

Two years ago, the patriarch had another wife, but unfortunately, she died while giving birth to a child. In a more feudal sense, the patriarch restrained his wife.But everyone should know that even the feudal society was much more developed than here.

Well, frankly, he also has a cheap son.Similarly, this cheap son is still being raised by a widow.

Chen Qiao felt that the reason why the widow was able to live her life as a widow safely was due to the two little princes.

When Chen Qiao gradually became familiar with the life here and could basically communicate with Dila in the language here, he proposed to visit that Dila's little brother, his cheap son.He doesn't have much sense of responsibility in this area, it's just that these days are a bit boring, and he just happens to be a little curious about this child.

Dila took Chen Qiao to walk through the tribe, and those women who had nothing to do gathered together to point and point from time to time. Chen Qiao was not yet proficient in using the language here, so she didn't quite understand what they said.

"Roar..." Dila angrily grinned at the women, saw them fleeing, and then scolded disdainfully: "Stupid woman!" Chen Qiao couldn't help but find it funny.

They met the widow at the door. As soon as Dila saw the widow, she immediately became an honest child. He hesitated for a long time before explaining that he brought Chen Qiao over to see his younger brother.

The widow just nodded to Chen Qiao faintly, and then told them not to disturb the younger brother's sleep, and went out with the clay pot in her arms.Chen Qiao, who was stunned, and Dila, who was relieved, were left behind.

"Your mother is so beautiful."

"That is, she is the most beautiful woman in the tribe!" Dila said proudly.

The room was not big, and when they entered the room, they saw a child wrapped in animal skins sleeping soundly on the bed.The one-year-old child's limbs have grown slowly, and his skin is white. It can be seen that the widow has taken good care of the child.

"Brother looks good." Dilla was drooling on his brother's bedside.

"Yeah, it doesn't look like you at all."

"Hmph, I want to be as tall as my father."

"That's really difficult." Chen Qiao patted him on the shoulder pretending to be sympathetic.

"Cut!" The wild child turned his head away when he was annoyed.

Chen Qiao smiled and stopped teasing him. Looking at the limp life on the bed and the stubborn back of the head beside the bed, he suddenly realized that autumn was here.

The sunlight outside is only golden in autumn, and the air is dry and cool. For the first time, he felt the sunshine of this world so truly.
