prehistoric modern man

Several people sat around the stone pot, each with a fruit husk broth in their hands, burying their heads in drinking.Ya Sen leaned close to his mother, drank a few sips of soup, and then ran to roll on the stone bed before coming back. Yasen's children followed her by running back and forth, until the aggressive mother scolded them, and the two children were honest. stand up.

The imam sat beside Ji Chi, quietly drinking with his head down, and the soup in his husk bottomed out for a long time.

Ji Chi took the fruit shell from his hand and handed it to him when it was full.

When he took it, he froze for a moment, and after glancing at him, he returned to his expressionless face, and continued to drink the soup with his head down.

When Ji Chi withdrew his gaze, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a gaze staring at him.

He turned his head to look at Yu Yu, and found that he was staring blankly at the soup in the imam's hand, and then turned to his empty fruit shell, his eyes darkened, looking over, waiting for Ji Chi to fill it for him.

Ji Chi turned his head as if he didn't see it, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

On the opposite side, Ya Sen inserted a piece of meat into his mouth with a piece of wood. While chewing, he watched enviously as Ji Chi skillfully used the two pieces of wood.

Duo, who was sitting next to him, was also holding two pieces of wood, and easily picked up a piece of meat and brought it to his mouth to nibble in small bites, looking at Ji Chi from time to time and smiling.

Yasen glanced at Aggressively unexpectedly, paused his chewing movements, and the envious expression on his face gradually disappeared.

The broth in the stone pot bottomed out quickly, and the few people who were full couldn’t wait to go back and lay down on the hot stone bed, covered with quilts, and sighed comfortably. Sink into dreamland.

Ji Chi also took off his heavy clothes and trousers, and got under the covers with only his thin underwear.

Afterwards, a tall body lay down beside him, covering the firelight reflected on Ji Chi's body.

After a few breaths, a strong masculine breath slowly approached Ji Chi, and finally stopped by his ear, without any movement.

Ji Chi opened his eyes, then slowly closed them until he gradually fell asleep, and there was no sound behind him.

The next day, Ji Chi and others got up early to go hunting, and the three women still went out to find food with the shells.

In this way, they each worked hard for a day, until their bodies became cold and could not stand the cold outside. They would return to the cave with the harvested food, sit together by the stone pot, roast the fire, drink the hot broth, and wait. After their bodies warmed up, they cleaned up the food they brought back and put it on the flat rock next to the stone pot, and got into the warm blankets to sleep until the next day.

The big stone was found by Ji Chi, on which there are small pieces of honeycomb, meat of various prey, and some unknown insects. They will put all the food they find on it, and take it directly from it when they are hungry come to eat.

The life without lack of food makes everyone in the cave smile, especially the three women in the cave. They go out to look for food every day as if to save it. Every time they go in and out, they look at the stone with admiration. More and more food on it, all smiles.

Meanwhile, the weather outside is changing.

Just when Ji Chi thought it might be the coldest time in winter, the temperature continued to drop.

Ji Chi also noticed that whether it was Yu Yu's tribe or those outsiders, they began to wander in the forest all day looking for prey, and the two tribes robbed each other for food more and more frequently.

Every time Ji Chi and the others would bypass those people and bring the food they found back to the cave without being noticed by the two parties.

However, this situation soon ended.

Because they can hardly go out to find prey anymore, the temperature outside has dropped to an unbearable level.

The coldest time of winter has arrived.

hole.

The howling wind rolled up the frozen snow on the ground, and it kept beating on the wooden door of the cave, making a continuous "slapping" sound.

The bone-piercing cold wind blows in through the gap in the wooden door, blending with the hot air constantly escaping from the stone pot, bit by bit, slowly reducing the temperature in the cave.

Wrapped in thick animal skins, he curled up like a ball and squatted at his mother's feet, stretching his neck from time to time to let the heat from the stone pot hit his face, licking his lips, and so on. Cook the meat in the pan.

Next to him, with a pale face, Ji Chi sunk his head into the red fur hat, shrunk his neck, and his eyes fell somewhere out of focus, wondering what he was thinking.

Except for the two children, everyone else was a little dazed when they saw Ji Chi's red and white combination.

Yu Yu, who had been sitting next to Ji Chi, swallowed and clung a little tighter.

The imam who was sitting on the other side flickered his eyes, looked away, looked at the slightly flickering fire light under the stone pot, and began to be dazed.

The cave was strangely quiet.

It wasn't until the water in the stone pot boiled and the gurgling sound made several people come back to their senses, moved their stiff bodies, and began to pick up the fruit shells to serve soup.

Lika, Yasen's child, cheered, came out from between his parents holding the fruit shell, walked to Hei, squatted on the ground like her, and sipped the soup.

"Mao Beast, it's coming soon." Gu Ling said suddenly.

Ji Chi raised his head from the husk, "What kind of furry beast?"

"A furry beast that isn't afraid of the cold." Yasen answered.

Ji Chi didn't know why, but he still asked, "How many?"

Gu Ling stopped his movements, showing a look of fear, fixedly looked at Ji Chi and said, "A lot, a lot."

Ji Chi lowered his head thoughtfully, took a sip of the hot soup, and quickly analyzed in his mind what kind of animal the furry beast they were talking about could be.

After thinking for a long time, Ji Chi just wanted to ask Gu Kui, but suddenly thought of something, and looked at Yu Yu.

Are they talking about the scaly creature in the forest on the right side of the river?

If so, why did they come here from such a long distance?

Judging from Gu Ling's expression, it seemed that he was very afraid of their arrival.

"When will it come?" Ji Chi wanted to prepare if their arrival would threaten their safety.

"Soon." Gu Ling said with narrowed eyes.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became completely quiet.

Except for Ji Chi, the others seemed to have no intention of continuing to drink soup.

The fire in the cave was weak, only illuminating the few people sitting around, the rest of the place was dark.

From time to time, the sound of whistling wind came in through the hole, reminding them how bad the situation outside was.

After hastily disposing of the soup in the pot, several of them each lay down in the only warm quilt, worrying all night.

In the early morning of the next day, it was pitch black in the cave.

Ji Chi woke up in a daze, rolled over in Yu Yu's arms, and was about to continue sleeping when he heard a strange sound.

Faintly, it seemed to be the panting sound of wild animals, mixed with grunts squeezed out from the throat, more than one.

Ji Chi and Yu Yu got up at the same time, put on their clothes and ran to the middle of the cave, where there were already three people standing there.

Ji Chi hastily lit the fire and looked towards the entrance of the cave.

At this time, the three women also ran out with their children, looking at them panting.

The sound of a large number of wild beasts approaching, mixed with strange sounds from the throat.

Ji Chi swallowed, his brain was running fast, looking for a way to deal with it.

Yu Wu stood in front of him with a bow and arrow, his chest heaved up and down, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of the cave entrance without blinking.

"Dong dong..." The sound of dense and powerful guns hitting the wooden door quickly resounded in the empty and quiet cave, making the sound extraordinarily loud.

Duoyong hid behind his mother, only showing one head and looking towards the direction of the hole, his eyes widened, full of panic.

Ji Chi clenched his fists, paused when his eyes swept over the fire, then squatted down and quickly moved the dry firewood placed beside him to the entrance of the cave.

The others were stunned for a second, without further delay, they immediately began to move.

Ji Chi lit the fire first, piled up the dry firewood around the entrance of the hole, then stepped back and raised his bow and arrow to aim at the wooden door that was about to be knocked down.

The dry wood at the entrance of the cave has been lit, and the fire is growing

At the moment when the door was easily hit, five arrows shot out at the same time.

Ji Chi saw a group of beasts outside the cave.

They were covered with thick scales, and opened mouths full of conical teeth. When they smashed open the door and rushed in, they were frightened by the fire at the hole and suddenly stopped moving, and immediately took several steps back.

Seeing that they were afraid of fire, the three women immediately stepped forward, picked up the burning wood and began to throw it out vigorously.

Ji Chi and the others also quickly approached, shooting arrows at the retreating beasts.
