新石器时代

Gu Xiaolu followed Ji Huaifeng's gaze, only to find that there was a wooden bed in the corner of the room, covered with a few clean furs, and a person was lying on the furs.Because the inner walls of this room are all black, and the light in the room is very dim, he didn't notice the existence of that person at all when he first came in.

That person looked a bit like Luo Liang, so Gu Xiaolu guessed that he was Luo Liang's brother.He was lying there with his eyes closed, motionless, looking either sick or injured - no wonder Luo Liang was so anxious to find the film king.

Now the movie king can't be found for a while, that's why Ji Huaifeng -- and Liu Damao at the door said that Luo Liang was planning to use their potion.

Gu Xiaolu touched his forehead, feeling that he was getting smarter.

He quickly followed Ji Huaifeng's words and said, "Actually, if you want something, you should say it earlier. We are here to exchange things. As long as the price is right, there is nothing we can't exchange."

——The reason for saying this is to prevent Ji Huaifeng from feeling sympathetic to the brothers for a while and giving them the potion for nothing.Seeing that everything in Luo Liang's house is neat and orderly, it seems that he is doing well.Gu Xiaolu's only thought was to kill him severely.

Ji Huaifeng really glared at him.Luo Liang's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Gu Xiaolu's hand gratefully: "It's easy to say, easy to say! I really didn't expect Brother Gu to be so straightforward! My brother is saved—come—he, he is my brother , called Luo Guang."

As he spoke, he was going to take Gu Xiaolu to the bedside.Ji Huaifeng pulled his hand away calmly, "What's wrong with your brother? Let me see—" He inserted between Luo Liang and Gu Xiaolu, and walked over.

"My brother was bitten by a wild boar. It's been more than half a month. I even went to Longhu Town in the middle, but the actor was not there." Luo Liang said, lifting a piece of fur covering his brother's body, and said: "I know that medicine is very expensive these days, so I dare not ask you all. I just want you to exchange some for me, so that my brother's injury can grow flesh!"

Ji Huaifeng and Gu Xiaolu gasped at the same time.

Luo Guang's calf was wrapped in a piece of rag.The rag was stuck to the wound, and pus seeped out of it. It looked terrible, and it emitted a foul smell.

Ji Huaifeng frowned: "How did this happen?"

Luo Liang smiled apologetically: "There is no one here who can treat wounds, let alone make medicine, so I have to wrap them up for him."

While speaking, Luo Guang hummed twice, as if he was about to wake up.Ji Huaifeng was a little angry, and said to Luo Liang: "His wound has rotted like this, it's impossible to just apply the medicine on it." Luo Liang nodded shyly, "What should I do?"

Luo Guang woke up completely at this time.He looked at Ji Huaifeng and Gu Xiaolu in a daze, and asked in a weak voice, "Who are Xiaoliang and the others?"

Ji Huaifeng strode over, grabbed his hair and punched him on the back of his head.Luo Guang groaned and passed out again.Luo Liang was taken aback, and rushed forward to argue with Ji Huaifeng.Ji Huaifeng said coldly: "If you don't want his leg to be crippled, do as I tell you now. Go light a fire and boil a pot of water. Bring it to a boil."

His voice was not loud, but with an irresistible aura.Luo Liang was stunned for a while, then nodded, turned around and went into a small room next to him.Gu Xiaolu guessed that it was the kitchen.Sure enough, it didn't take long before there was a burst of smoke.He looked around, and found that the floor was still the same concrete floor as before; there was no fire place like a firepit in the main house.

He shook his shoulders and whispered, "Don't they sleep by the fire?"

Ji Huaifeng squinted: "Do you think other people's houses are as leaky as yours?"

Gu Xiaolu expressed his self-criticism for his lack of in-depth observation.

Then he said: "I don't know if there are such intact empty houses here?"

Ji Huaifeng looked up at the roof, and suddenly approached his ear: "This used to be a small village with not many houses. Besides, you really want to live in such a dark place?"

Gu Xiaolu scratched his head: "Uh, I can find something to wipe the wall."

Ji Huaifeng disagreed: "The only thing that can be used to plaster the walls here is soil, and the color of the soil here is very similar to some kind of human excrement."

Gu Xiaolu imagined it for a while, then shook his head instantly: "Forget it!"

Ji Huaifeng nodded with satisfaction: "We'd better build a house by ourselves. Although it will take some time, at least we can live more comfortably."

"It's fine to build a new one. But I have one condition."

Ji Huaifeng narrowed his eyes: "Say."

"At least bigger than my old one."

Ji Huaifeng's heart softened, and he smiled.He didn't speak, just inserted his fingers into Gu Xiaolu's hair and rubbed it for a while.

At this moment, Luo Liang poked his head out: "The water is boiling. Do you want to bring it here?"

Ji Huaifeng said: "Wait, I'll cook this first." He pulled out the dagger and walked towards the kitchen.

By the time Ji Huaifeng healed Luo Guang's wound, it was almost dark.He carefully picked out the rotten flesh from the wound with a dagger, and cut open the abscess to release the pus and blood.After everything was cleaned up, some medicinal powder for removing putrefaction and promoting muscle growth was sprinkled on the wound, and finally the wound was re-bound with clean cloth strips boiled in boiling water.Ji Huai was doing these things calmly, while Luo Liang watched from the side, profusely sweating.

"There is no anesthetic here. I knocked him out because I was afraid of his pain. Don't mind."

Luo Liang wiped his forehead: "Hey, I understand, I understand—"

"He still seems to have a fever, but we don't have any anti-fever medicine here. You can apply cold water to his forehead."

"Hey, okay. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."

"Okay." Ji Huaifeng boldly went to the kitchen to wash his hands.

Gu Xiaolu began to believe that Ji Huaifeng was indeed a member of the underworld in the past.

——The attitude of entering someone else's house and swaggering as if he is the owner of this room, there were only two kinds of people in the past: one is an official, and the other is the underworld.But Ji Huaifeng didn't have the habit of bowing his knees and flattering like a pug when government officials met someone more powerful than themselves, so Ji Huaifeng didn't have the habit at all, so he could be determined to be a gangster.

Ji Huaifeng went to wash his hands, and Luo Liang went to eat.Gu Xiaolu had nothing to do, walked around the house with his hands behind his back.The two brothers probably slept together, and there was no other bed in the room except the one outside.Next to the kitchen was a smaller room filled with firewood; fresh skins and jerky still hung on the walls.Among them was a piece of wild boar skin, and I don't know if it was the one that bit Luo Guang.

Judging from the amount of fur and jerky, the Luo Liang brothers seem to be doing well.At least they have enough to eat for the winter.Gu Xiaolu looked back at the two or three pieces of jerky and sweet potatoes that had begun to dehydrate and shriveled in his rattan basket, and couldn't help sighing.

Next to the firewood room there is a narrow staircase leading to the roof.Gu Xiaolu lifted his feet to walk up, and stood on the roof to look at the surrounding scenery.Not far away, there were indeed bungalows scattered among the tall trees in twos and threes, and they were all as dark as this one. It seemed that everyone had used Luo Liang's powerful method of killing viruses with fire.There are denser buildings in the deeper part of the valley - some are former bungalows, some are newly built stone houses or wooden houses.From a distance, they are squeezed together like a matchbox, which is a bit cute.

"Where do you want to build your house?"

Ji Huaifeng didn't know when he followed.The voice suddenly rang in his ears, and Gu Xiaolu was startled.

He turned around and said, "Could you make a noise first when you show up next time?"

Ji Huaifeng spread his hands: "I'm used to doing bad things secretly, and I can't change it." Gu Xiaolu looked at his feet: "How about I tie a bell on your feet from now on?" Ji Huaifeng didn't care: "As long as you You can find it, whatever you want."

Gu Xiaolu: "Forget it."

These days, even the basic daily necessities are hard to find, where can I find bells.

Ji Huaifeng approached cautiously—the two were almost stuck together, but there was no physical contact.He said in a voice almost whispering: "No need for this, we will get used to staying together in the future, even if I don't make a sound, you will know it is me."

Gu Xiaolu bumped his elbow back: "Yeah, I'll know if you fart silently!"

Ji Huaifeng: ""

"I said, look at their newly built houses, there are stone and wood, which one do you think is better?"

Is Gu Xiaolu silently designing their love nest?Ji Huaifeng's hands were shaking with excitement: "Ahem, you can cover whatever you like."

"I don't know - I just think wood is a bit afraid of fire, but then again, don't you see that my little house before was built with stones and broken bricks, and it would collapse as soon as it burned."

It turned out that Gu Xiaolu was afraid of this.That's really good planning.

But at that moment, a beautiful picture unfolded before his eyes.He seemed to see himself building a big bright house that is warm in winter and cool in summer. There is water in front of the house, mountains behind the house, green vegetable fields surrounded by fences on both sides, and golden fruits on the fruit trees in the corners of the house.

In the blink of an eye, there is still a wasteland full of weeds.

He clenched his fist quietly.

Smoke from the kitchen below was blown into the evening mist by the breeze.The sky gradually darkened to the point where he couldn't see anything, Gu Xiaolu finally gave up on the big plan of choosing a site, and followed Ji Huaifeng to touch the darkness while holding onto the wall.There is no firepit in the main house of the Luo family, and of course there are no lamps or candles.So the only source of light in the house was a firelight leaking in from the kitchen door.Hearing their footsteps, Luo Liang poked his head out from the kitchen door: "Come down? Dinner is almost ready."

Ji Huaifeng nodded, and said in the tone of a big brother praising a little brother: "Yes. Thank you for your hard work." Luo Liang stepped aside to let them in, and Gu Xiaolu realized that the kitchen was quite big.There was a hearth made of stone and clay on the side next to the window, and on the hearth were two pots, one of which contained some broth, and the other contained boiled wild potatoes—the very thing they used to eat. The kind that will fart violently after eating.

There is a bamboo table in the middle of the kitchen, and beside the table are two short upright logs, which are stools.Luo Liang gave up the two logs to Ji Huaifeng and Gu Xiaolu to sit on, and squatted to eat by himself.Fortunately, there are enough dishes in his house, but the chopsticks are freshly peeled from bamboo.Because the planing was not smooth enough, it always felt a little itchy when biting on the lips.

He finally understood: "Did all the previous things in this house be burned?" Luo Liang tapped the bowl with his chopsticks: "It doesn't mean that they are all burned. Some things—like these," he said, pointing The dishes on Table Mountain and the pots on the stove "can't be burned, so they are still kept."

Gu Xiaolu glanced at the bowl in his hand, no wonder it was also dark, with thin cracks on it.Ji Huaifeng was a little disapproving: "How can I keep using these old ones? I'm not saying that I'm picky, these things must have a bump and a corner and break them, what if they really break down someday? ?”

Seeing that Luo Liang's face seemed a little unhappy, Gu Xiaolu glared at him: "Stop talking nonsense, didn't they use it well? Don't use the old one, go and make a new one for me to see!"

Ji Huaifeng seemed to have a stomach full of things to say, but now he swallowed them again.In the end, I couldn't help but choked out a sentence: "I can't pinch it now, so I'll show you another day!"

Gu Xiaolu smiled: "You don't need to pinch the bowl, if you can pinch a tile, I will accept you."

Luo Liang followed with a laugh, and Ji Huaifeng was really stimulated, and squeezed the two chopsticks to rattle: "Don't talk about bowls and tiles, I can squeeze out a flower for you if you want it!"

Luo Liang interjected: "Actually, it's not that we haven't tried it. Someone in the previous village tried burning bowls and plates. I don't know if it's because the soil here is not good. It always cracks in the fire, and none of them can be baked into shape. Take It turned into a pile of lumps when it came out."

Ji Huaifeng lowered his head and gnawed on the wild potato, but didn't speak any more.

They stayed at Luo Liang's house tonight.At the beginning, Luo Liang wanted to let them sleep on the bed, but Ji Huaifeng said that your brother was injured and had a fever, and couldn't move well, so he insisted on making the floor with Gu Xiaolu.At night, Luo Liang followed what Ji Huaifeng said, dipped two pieces of cloth in cold water and covered Luo Guang's forehead in turn.Although his movements were light, both Ji Huaifeng and Gu Xiaolu could not sleep well.After tossing until midnight, the temperature on Luo Guang's forehead dropped a little.The three of them exhaled together, and were about to sleep peacefully, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside, as if something serious had happened.

Luo Liang sighed, "You guys sleep, I'll go out and have a look." He said and went out wearing a piece of sheepskin.

Gu Xiaolu and Ji Huaifeng pricked up their ears and listened carefully at the same time, only to hear someone shouting: "How is it? How's it going? I'll kill Lao Tzu!"

Ji Huaifeng closed his eyes helplessly, "It's broken"
