Chapter 3 Attack of the Beast

In fact, most venomous snakes are afraid of people. They will run away quickly after being frightened. Generally, they will not take the initiative to attack people. They only bite people when they get too close to the snake or step on the snake unintentionally.

Fortunately, although the snake's body had already climbed onto Ji Chi's body, the snake's head was still twisting beside his head without any further movement. Ji Chi slowly stretched out his hand and dared not make the slightest sound. At this time, the savage also stopped snoring. , squatting motionless in the corner as if waiting for his next move.

When the hand reached mid-air, the snake's head had already moved to his neck, and the soft snake letter swept across his chin from time to time.Time passed by, Ji Chi slowed down his breathing and waited for the opportunity.At the moment when the snake's head twisted and turned to the entrance, Ji Chi made a sudden move. The mid-air hand pinched its neck accurately and quickly, and the other hand quickly grabbed the snake's tail, rolled his body and pressed his right leg hard On the snake, complete these tight blinks.

The savage stared at the entangled man and snake with wide-eyed eyes, with a confused expression on his face.

After the snake was restrained by Ji Chi, it began to struggle violently. The snake's head twisted back and forth, and its mouth opened and closed, spitting out snake letters, trying to break free.

After regaining his senses, the savage jumped to the side of the snake's head and cut off the snake's head neatly with Ji Chi's hand. He grabbed the snake's neck tightly with his free hand, and started cutting from top to bottom with the hand holding the knife.

Ji Chi loosened his legs and grabbed the still writhing snake body with both hands to facilitate the savage's cutting.

The cut snake skin was hung on the tree by the wild man, and the snake meat without the poisonous sac and internal organs was eaten directly by him.

Early the next morning, the savage went out with the snakeskin hung around his waist that had been killed in the middle of the night.

Ji Chi sat with his legs bent in the thatched hut and took a look at the bandages on his legs. Not only did the swelling disappear, but there were also scabs. The wound healed a bit quickly.

After sitting for a while, he took the compass and struggled to climb down from the thatched hut with both hands and feet, and began to drag his left foot around slowly.He thought, after all, this small piece of forest is a place where people live, and wild animals should be afraid of it, so they won't appear casually.

He walked around and found that most of the broad-leaved trees here are mixed with only a few conifers, and most of the broad-leaved trees are some unknown wild fruit trees, and a few are strangely shaped fruitless trees.On the ground are flowers and plants that cannot be estimated.

He walked to a yellow wild fruit tree that was as big as an apple. The fruits on other trees had been picked more or less, but this kind of wild fruit showed no signs of being tampered with, only occasionally you could see something pecked on it and left behind. He took a look at the hole in the hole, and the fruit inside was empty.

Although its peel is hard, it can be crushed even if you hold it hard. Inside is a white berry with a layer of transparent coating on it. He took a bite, and a strong bitter taste immediately fainted in his mouth. After the layer of wrapping, the bitterness is gone, leaving behind a fresh sweetness, which tastes like a banana.

Ji Chi was overjoyed, and he ate several of them at once to fill his empty stomach. Although he still didn't feel full, his hunger gradually disappeared.

He picked some more and put them in his pocket, and while lifting his foot, he broke off a branch, who would have thought that the branch didn't break after being bent [-] degrees, Ji Chi's heart moved, he snapped it off with both hands, .

He observed that the tree was similar to a yew tree, tall and tall, with an independent trunk at the root, and a clear distinction between the trunk and the crown. He remembered that the yew tree is rich in elasticity, has high mechanical strength, and is not easy to crack and warp. It is used for bows and arrows. good material.

He secretly memorized the characteristics of this kind of tree, turned around and started to walk south. After 10 minutes, he arrived at the hut of the savages. Those people from yesterday came out of the forest in front. To avoid hitting them, he walked 100 meters to the left. He went up and down and continued to walk forward, but it was a coincidence that he bumped into several topless women and children just after taking a few steps.

A sudden appearance of a strange creature startled them, but after being scared, they didn't take him seriously. The adults continued to pick the fruit, while the children climbed the tree to find bugs to eat.

Further on is the place where they live, a group of thatched huts built next to each other, some big and some small, all of which are very simple in common. In some of the bigger huts, two or three people can be vaguely seen sitting or lying down. People, more rooms are empty at this time.

Humans are social animals, not to mention living in groups is the best choice in this kind of forest where there is danger at any time.

He has been speculating about the purpose of the savage for bringing him back since yesterday, and seeing this, he has vaguely made some judgments.

Only the savage's thatched hut was built alone and lived alone, and what those people did yesterday and the savage's loneliness showed that they seemed to be somewhat repulsed by the savage.

Ji Chi didn't go any further, picked some wild fruits and went back to the savage's thatched hut.

He held the fruit in his short sleeve and bit it in his mouth, grabbed the cane with both hands and started to climb up with his right foot. After climbing about four meters, he finally climbed into the thatched hut.

Not long after he sat down, the savage came back, happily rushing in with a beast leg that was more than twice as small as yesterday.

He still used a knife to cut off a piece of meat and pushed it to Ji Chi, and finished the rest of the meat in two or three strokes.

Ji Chi pushed the meat back, picked up the yellow wild fruit and signaled himself to eat it, but the wild man threw the nut out without saying a word, and the piece of raw meat with sparse white hairs was pushed in front of him again.

Under his strange eyes, Ji Chi picked up one again, peeled off the outer two layers of wrapping, and handed it to the wild man.

The savage leaned over to sniff it twice, took a bite with doubts, then swallowed the rest with his hand as his eyes lit up.

The second and third fruits were peeled off and swallowed, and the savage disappeared for a few minutes after eating all that Ji Chi brought, and when he reappeared, there was already a pile of yellow wild fruits on the straw mat.

Roughly counting the time, this meal is considered lunch.

Although it was noon, the sky was a little dark, probably it was going to rain, he thought.

Just after thinking about it, the sky really started to change outside. After the strong wind suddenly picked up, the sky began to completely darken, with the rustling of the wind, the screaming of animals, and the sound of the grass being broken by the wind.Smelling the strong smell of soil, an idea suddenly flashed in Ji Chi's mind, if he could go back safely this time, he would follow his parents' advice and find someone to marry, and live a stable, ordinary life.

The storm came and went quickly, and seemed to only scare the timid animals.After the wind passed, the sky began to thunder, one after another, louder than louder.The Savage seemed startled when the first thunder sounded, and hid in a corner.

After the thunder that shook the earth and the mountains, it was completely quiet outside.The sky was still gray but there was no rain.

Soon, a smell of burnt wood wafted in from the thatched cottage, mixed with a bit of fleshy smell. Before Ji Chi could figure it out, a group of people's footsteps and chattering voices sounded outside.

The savage just came out from the corner and took a look under the tree, then jumped out of the thatched hut neatly and mixed in among those people.

Ji Chi leaned out half of his body and looked back. It turned out that a small forest not far away was on fire, probably struck by lightning.Those people pushed and refused to jump around the periphery far away from the fire source, wanting to get close but not daring, seeing what they looked like, they obviously had some expectations.

After a long time like this, when a small piece of fire was about to spread into a big fire, the sky began to rain, and the raindrops became bigger and bigger, and quickly extinguished the red and purple fire, and those people who had been afraid to get close immediately rushed into it. The scorched land began to rummage.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Ji Chi quickly hid in the thatched hut. Who would have thought that it was raining heavily outside but light rain was falling inside. The thatched hut was built too poorly to stop the rain at all.

Ji Chi pulled a leaf to cover his head and left the thatched hut. The people outside had already left the scorched land, and one of the majestic men happily carried a black animal body and was distributing it.

It turned out that they were looking for animals that were unfortunately burned to death after a thunderstorm caught fire.

After leaving the house, Ji Chi tore off a few leaves to cover the thatched roof. The leaves were big enough, five or six pieces were enough. He broke off a few more branches and put them on the leaves, and wrapped them around the thatched house with rattan a few times to fix them. , and then bent down to look inside the house, it was no longer leaking, and just as he was about to enter the house, the savage came up, drenched all over, his face and hands were stained with black charcoal, but his hands were empty, obviously he had no idea to the meat.

The savage looked at his behavior strangely, and immediately realized it after entering the house.

Ji Chi's body was also soaked. Even though he had no change of clothes, he took off his short sleeves and sweatpants, squeezed out the water, put them aside and waited for the rain to stop before drying.

The savage, who was still observing the roof, turned his eyes to him at this time, and stared at him unblinkingly with round eyes with wet eyes.

Ji Chi glanced down immediately, the trousers were still there.

Savage looked at it for a while, then suddenly leaned over and pulled his trousers, lowered his head and sniffed twice before sitting back down.

The rain outside did not decrease but became heavier and heavier. Ji Chi could even feel the thatched hut being hit by the raindrops shaking slightly.

He and the savage spent almost an afternoon sitting or lying on the wet grass mat in relative silence without seeing the rain stop.The savage couldn't stand it any longer, and rushed out when the rain was at its heaviest.Ji Chi thought, he might have gone hunting.

Ji Chi stayed in the house and did not go out. When it was dark, the savage came back, and this time he only brought some wet wild fruits.

After eating the fruit, Ji Chi turned over the wet straw mat, turned up the bottom layer that was not wet, and lay down.The savage also seemed to be tired, and soon began to snore after lying down.

The sound of the rain was louder, and the sound of hitting the roof was even louder. Ji Chi hadn't slept well, so when there was a strange movement under the tree, he woke up almost at the same time as the savage.

It was the sound of claws scratching the bark, and the slight panting of a wild beast, which was close at hand. Although it was difficult to detect when mixed with the sound of rain, this sound was enough for people who were sensitive to danger.

Ji Chi got up calmly, picked up the sharp stone that had been placed beside him for self-defense, and waited for the beast's next move.

The savage glanced at him with the gun in his hand, and then jumped down one by one.Immediately below came the howling and fighting of wild animals.

The sound lasted for about 5 minutes. Before Ji Chi's heartbeat returned to normal, there was no sound at all. He leaned out of his body immediately, and what he vaguely saw was the tail of a staggering and fleeing beast.

As soon as he retracted, the savage came up with the smell of blood all over his body. The room was too dark, and he couldn't see whether the savage was injured or not.

After driving away a wild animal, I was finally not attacked by other animals in the second half of the night.

When Ji Chi woke up the next day, the rain had stopped, the sky was bright outside, and a rare ray of sunlight came in the thatched cottage, adding some inexplicable warmth.

The Savage was still lying motionless, with shocking bite marks on his abdomen and shoulders, soaked by rain, and after another night, the wounds seemed to be swollen and festered.

After being washed by the rain, the savage's face could be seen clearly. His complexion was bronze, his eyebrows were thick, his nose was straight, his lips were thin and pale, and his appearance was no different from that of ordinary people. The only difference was that his eyes were too large and deep.This face, which was no different from ordinary people, still remained unchanged at this time, as if the physical injury had nothing to do with his expression.

Whether it is a human or an animal, living in nature naturally has its own way of survival. Ji Chi thinks that maybe it would be better to leave it alone. Furthermore, he hasn't figured out the nature of savages, so naturally he can't act rashly. Including his little selfishness.

He put on his wet clothes again, got out of the hut and was still circling around.After only two nights, the wound on the leg had healed, and the pain gradually disappeared when walking.

After eating some wild fruits, he planned to walk to the right. He had already seen several women walking there with their children.

After walking about 200 meters, he found that there were more and more traces of trampling on the grass here, and the wild fruits on the surrounding trees were relatively sparse. After walking another 100 meters, the traces of trampling gradually formed several trails. it's the same.

The more you walk along those trails, the brighter the light becomes, and at the end, it suddenly becomes clear to you. You can hardly see the large expanse of grass, the sound of gurgling water, the wind, sunshine, and white clouds. Ji Chi can feel his body slightly moving. Trembling and the inexplicable excitement in my heart.

The more you walk in the middle, the more you find that this is actually a grassland surrounded by forests, but the diameter is too large to estimate.The middle of the meadow was divided into two halves by a river. Ji Chi stood in a larger place, and walking five or six miles from the other side of the river was another dense forest.

Ji Chi suppressed the sudden disappointment in his heart and walked towards the river.The direction of the river is from right to left, not rapids, the river is crystal clear, and there are many fish, but in the past two days he has not seen savages eating fish, and later he found out that one is because they don’t like raw fish very much, and the other is that Because they are afraid of water.

The women and children who came before him stood cautiously by the river and drank water from fruit husks. Some of them just lay down there and stretched their heads into the river with their mouths pouted to drink, and some drank with their hands in their pockets.

Ji Chi sat down by the river, took off his clothes, scrubbed them again, wiped his body briefly, took off the bandages on his legs, and washed carefully along the wound. It was bandaged again.

While doing this, he could feel the eyes of those women looking over from time to time. Ji Chi stood up without looking sideways and walked into the woods.

He picked a nut as big as a pumpkin from the nearest fruit tree, dug a small hole in it with a stone, took out the fruit inside and made a simple container, and then went to the river to drink water enough.
