prehistoric modern man

The shells that the women used for water were the shape of melon shells split in half, similar to ordinary bowls.Seeing that the one Ji Chi took was round, they chatted to each other for a while, and then went to the fruit tree to imitate the one in his hand and made an identical one.

They are actually very smart, what they lack may be only advanced ideas, Ji Chi thought.

Quenching his thirst, he went back to the woods to find a tree similar to the yew tree, broke off a branch with a diameter of 4 inches and a length of about 6 feet, and found another vine with inelasticity and high hardness, and bent the branch into 30 inches. Then wrap the two ends tightly with branches to make a simple bow.

Returning to the river, he put the bow into the water standing up against the river, fixed it with a big rock, looked around again, and saw that there was no one else, so he walked back with confidence.

Halfway there, he suddenly saw a rabbit-like animal with blood-red fur lying in a small pothole, shaking its short round tail. He didn't know what he was gnawing on. Hearing his approaching footsteps, the red-haired rabbit was startled immediately. fled away.

He walked over and saw that it was a tuber plant, almost reaching his knees, with thick stems and black sickle-shaped leaves, which were easy to recognize.There were several poria cocos in the potholes, but twice the size of the poria cocos, and there were orange-yellow things like sweet potatoes inside. He picked it up and smelled it, and it had a fresh and sweet smell.

He turned around a few more times and found that such plants were everywhere.He squatted down and found a random plant and dug it. There were as many as seven or eight tubers. He broke open one of them and tried to take a bite. It was very crispy and had a faint sweet taste, but the earthy smell was too strong to be eaten raw.

Ji Chi suppressed the excitement in his heart, took the fruit shell filled with water and walked towards the savage's thatched hut.

The savage had already sat up at this time, his hands were hanging limply by his sides, and his body was leaning against the wall of the thatched house for support. His face was pale, the corners of his lips were chapped, and the injuries on his body were worse than what he saw in the morning. Traces of struggle.

Seeing him go in, the savage immediately looked over, opened his mouth, and only let out a hoarse grunt.

Ji Chi handed him water, and put a few wild fruits by his hand.With trembling hands, the savage slowly picked up the husk and drank a mouthful of water before staying still.

Ji Chi peeled off the peel and tried to hand it over, but the savage didn't even look at it.After being injured, he became more humane than usual, and Ji Chi was suddenly touched.

He thought for a while and took out the remaining trauma medicine from under the straw mat, and slowly stretched out his hand to carefully touch the periphery of the wild man's wound. The wild man looked at him immediately, and there was still only a grunting sound from his throat.

Ji Chi couldn't figure out what he meant, so he could only point to the wound and medicine on his leg, and then to his shoulder and abdomen.

The wildling seemed to understand what he meant, and he didn't make any more noise when he touched his wound again.

Ji Chi first applied some disinfectant on his wound, then used a piece of vest material to wipe off the pus and then applied other medicines, then tore off two long pieces of cloth from the edge of the short sleeves to wrap his shoulders and abdomen, After doing this, he was already drenched in sweat.

During this period, the Savage's eyes kept turning around him. No matter what, Ji Chi confirmed one thing based on the observation of these two days. So much trust.

That's not a bad thing after all.

Ji Chi wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the flint and went out of the thatched hut under the staring eyes of the savage. He ate some fruit in the morning. He was already hungry, so he had to fill his stomach first.

After walking some distance into the depths of the forest, he found a "Black Poria Cocos" at random, took out three big ones, dug a hole in the ground, wrapped the three big tubers with leaves and put them in. Then I used a flint to make a fire and burned some dry wood, and when it was burnt out, I covered the tubers with red charcoal.

When the fragrance of "Poria cocos" diffused, Ji Chi buried another six large tubers.He rubbed the dirt on his hands, and just squatted down to take out the three roasted tubers, a fiery red shadow flashed by not far away, and he knew without thinking that it must be the red-haired rabbit.

The leaves wrapped in the baked Poria cocos have become a layer of black charcoal. After the black charcoal is removed, the color of the tuber is purple black. After peeling off the skin, the inside is red and steaming. Take a bite, and the starchy taste in your mouth is full of flavor. With a hint of sweetness, this is the best thing he has eaten in 26 years.

After eating three in one go, my stomach, which had been empty and flat in the past few days, bulged for the first time.

After eating, he didn't delay any longer, first went to the river to bring the bow that had been soaked for a while, regenerated the fire, put the bow in the smoke from the fire to dry, and when the wood was completely dry, he twisted it carefully. I extinguished all the charcoal, wrapped the six tuckahoe leaves that had been roasted, and then found a dozen branches with a length of about 3 feet, straight trees and hard materials nearby, and returned to the thatched cottage.

The savage's complexion improved a little. He ate and drank all the water and wild fruits he brought back earlier.

When Ji Chi climbed in with the scent of roasted Poria cocos, the savage straightened his waist immediately, his eyes shone brightly, and his nose sniffed and smelled everywhere.

Ji Chi pushed the Poria cocos in his hand to him, and the savage finally knew the source of the fragrance, and kept expressing his pleasure with purrs.Because of the injuries on his body, his movements were a little slow, but he could still see his eagerness when he saw food after a day of hunger.

He quickly picked up a palm-sized Poria cocos, regardless of whether it was hot or not, and regardless of whether the skin was peeled or not, he directly brought it to his mouth and took a big bite. Then, he let out a strange cry, the Poria cocos was not bitten, but his eyes quickly opened It was flushed and moist, the nostrils were dilated, and the mouth opened and closed silently, apparently scalded.

Seeing him like this, Ji Chi suddenly found it funny and laughed too.The savage seemed startled by his sudden laughter. He recovered from the burn and looked at him blankly. Seeing that he had no follow-up action, he began to pick up the Poria cocos carefully and began to eat in small bites.

□□It was placed next to the wild man at this time. When he picked up the second Poria cocos, Ji Chi pointed at the knife with his finger, and the wild man looked at him inexplicably.

Ji Chi picked up the branch he brought back and made a chopping motion repeatedly before slowly stretching out his hand to take the knife. The savage didn't resist, and was still gnawing on the Poria cocos in his hand.

Ji Chi was relieved, and began to sharpen the front end of the branch with a knife. After making the arrowhead, he carved a small notch at the back end for stringing, and finally flattened the shaft of each wooden pole, and a dozen arrows It's done.

In fact, for this kind of meticulous work, the pocket knife in his pocket is more suitable. He brought this knife just in case. It is FOX493-2, which is light and portable.

The savage on the side had already finished eating Poria cocos, and was sitting beside him at this moment studying the wood that was still ordinary after being sharpened.

Ji Chi picked up the bow next to him, untied the rattan on it, cut two 1.5-inch half-moon-shaped notches on the outside of the arc at both ends of the bow with a knife, and then rewrapped the rattan tightly.

Since then, a simple bow and arrow has been made.

As long as he doesn't show how to use a bow and arrow in front of the savages, he doesn't worry about being taken away by him.

The sky outside had already darkened. After this day, combined with the situation of the previous two days, Ji Chi almost guessed the routine of the people here. They hunted twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and each time the prey they hunted they hunted. It may be evenly distributed, and it may not be certain who hunts more and gets more.

The savage didn't go out today, and I didn't see anyone bringing anything. It can be seen that the only way to get meat is to go out to hunt. Maybe the meat can only be shared if you catch prey, or it's just for the savage.

Before it was dark enough, Ji Chi pulled a few more flexible vines from the nearby tree poles, fiddled with it for a long time and simply wove a net, wrapping the edge of the net with another vine, leaving There was a hole, and the extra rattan was tied around the bottom like a schoolbag strap. This kind of fake quiver was taken by the savage to look at it for a long time, but in the end he didn't see what it was.

Just as Ji Chi was about to demonstrate to him, two men emerged from the woods in front of him. Before reaching the thatched hut, one of them raised his head and shouted something. Ji Chi only heard the sound of "yu", until the man came again It was only after shouting that he could hear it clearly. It was pronounced similar to "Yu Wu", probably the name of a savage.

The "Yu Wu" they called seemed to have regained some strength after eating the whole six tuckahoe cocos. Hearing the shout, he walked down the thatched hut along the vines wrapped around the tree, and followed the two men into the woods until At the moment before their backs disappeared, Ji Chi seemed to see him looking back at himself.

It was only later that Ji Chi learned that except for a few men who stayed behind to prevent wild beasts from attacking, the others had to go hunting, because there were women and children who needed the prey brought back by the men.Men who do not go hunting will be spurned and scolded by their tribe.

The reason why Ji Chi was not counted was because he was not their clansman.

This also shows that they have a strong sense of race. Therefore, Ji Chi will not be accepted by them so easily, and of course the prey brought back by the men in the clan will not have his share.

It took about a stick of incense for "Yu Wu" to come back. He looked a bit embarrassed, his hair and body were covered with grass and dirt, the wounds on his shoulders and abdomen were overflowing with blood again, and his steps were obviously sloppy when he walked, and his movements were awkward. Slow, dark expression.

Ji Chi could tell that he was in a low mood at this moment.

It took some effort for Yu Wu to climb up to the thatched hut, and when he came in, he lay down with his back to Ji Chi, ignoring the wound, as if it wasn't on him.

Ji Chi thought that his injury would take at least two days to fully heal, just like his, who would have thought that Yu Wu would go hunting vigorously the next morning.

Ji Chi felt miraculous and had an epiphany. People here may not be easily injured. Once injured, it may be a fatal injury, but if it is cured well, it will recover quickly. It can be seen from the comparison of Yu Yu yesterday and today.

After Yu Yu left, Ji Chi didn't delay any longer, put his quiver on his back, took his bow, compass, flint and steel, and some remaining medicine, and quickly got down from the hut, and picked more than a dozen yellow fruits and some water from the nearby fruit trees. Gao Yeguo, after confirming his position again, quickly rushed into the forest in the left rear direction.
