prehistoric modern man

The next morning, Ji Chi put on his clothes first and left the cubicle.

The entire cave, close to the rock wall, was almost covered with animal skins, on which were sitting or lying ragged men from the Yi clan.

Seeing him coming out, they stopped all movements, and all their Youyou eyes focused on him, watching quietly.

It was still warm in the cave, and they didn't look very cold.

Ji Chi glanced at the group of women who were busy in the middle of the eye hole, paused, and walked over to sit aside.

After a few minutes, the meat in the pot was cooked. At this time, all the people gathered around. They didn't care about anything when they saw what they were eating. They held fruit shells in their hands and rushed to the stone pot impatiently.

But no matter how crowded, they still left an open space for Ji Chi, and no one would touch him.

Ji Chi held the fruit shell and sipped the soup, and couldn't help recalling the change in attitude of these people.

From being ignorant and unacceptable at the beginning to gradually accepting, living together, then separated, and now living together again, I don't know what changes will happen in the future.

In such an environment where danger is always possible, living in groups is the best thing, but there are good and bad in everything.

He glanced at the little food left, which was probably the biggest problem.

There are already few prey in winter, and after a long period of searching by the two tribesmen, there are fewer and fewer animals in the nearby forest, and now they are almost invisible.

If this continues, he will also eat those frozen bark with them for a living.

Fortunately, there are still those beasts wandering in the mountains.

Uva seemed to have mentioned that those wild beasts would eat their dead companions, which didn't cause them all to starve to death, but this also made their numbers dwindle day by day, and when they dwindled to a certain extent, they would start to retreat and return to the forest.

What a strange breed.Ji Chi was thinking about them while thinking about them.

There were more people and less meat, and when he thought about the possible habitats of wild beasts, there was not much meat left in the pot.Looking at the others, they all looked like they were not full.

Seeing that his husk was empty, Bra quickly filled it up for him again. Ji Chi took a glance at her at the same time, she is a very diligent woman.

Going to look at Yu Yu again, the latter happened to be peeking at him, separated by two people, lowering his head while tilting his head halfway, with a suppressed and sad look on his face.

Ji Chi was stunned, swallowed his soup, turned his gaze back, felt a little itchy in his palms for no reason, clenched his fists unconsciously, lowered his head, and met a pair of big black eyes and a dirty child's face.

It turned out that there was a thin little boy squatting in front of him, arms folded, eyes fixed on the broth he was carrying.

Look at the stone pot again, it's empty.

Just as Ji Chi was about to hand it over, he saw a woman come and take the child away.

After eating, the Yi people started to go out to find food. The men went to the forest, and the women looked for something to eat nearby. Ji Chi didn't stop them. After all, they didn't know if the group of beasts could become their food.

Ji Chi waited until it was dark before taking a few people to the nearby mountains for a walk. After finding nothing, he went to the cave where he lived in the first place to have a look. Sure enough, there were some wild beasts resting there.

On the other hand, the Yi tribe went out for a day without gaining anything, and they stopped wandering around the next day, but followed Ji Chi and his group to the forest to pick up a lot of dry firewood, and returned at noon cave.Everyone didn't know why, but no one objected, after all, they still had some food left.

After the evening meal, after dark, Ji Chi took a large bundle of dry firewood and went out of the cave with a group of Yi clan men.

Having nothing to do, the women were about to lie down, but when they saw their men had gone out together, they immediately got up and got together mysteriously, discussing and waiting for them to come back.

Outside the cave, Ji Chi walked with a group of people for about an hour before stopping.

This place is tens of meters away from the cave where he used to live. He asked the others to slow down and walked for a while. Just as he took out the flint and lit a few bundles of dry wood, he heard the sound of a disturbed beast in the cave. .

Hearing the sound, they were about to rush out. Ji Chi hurriedly threw the already ignited dry wood to the entrance of the cave together with the others as quickly as possible, and then quickly took out his bow and started to shoot arrows, so as to stop the roaring group of rushing out the beast.

The other men who didn't have bows and arrows all picked up stones and threw them into the hole desperately, for fear that if one was released, all of them would rush out.

The vines binding the wood were quickly burnt under the rapidly spreading fire, and now the dry firewood was scattered, and the entrance of the cave was immediately blocked by the fire, and the group of beasts could not escape at all.

Seeing the fire and the arrows flying past, they seemed to have become alert, they stopped howling at them, and began to back away slowly.

When they quickly retreated to the bend deep in the hole, less than half of them were left.

While shooting arrows, Ji Chi asked others to use wood to push the burning fire in, and when there was a gap, he chased in with the others.

Seeing them rushing in, the few beasts no longer retreated, but roared angrily and rushed towards them.

For a while, there was chaos in the cave.

In the dark night, the occasional sound of the wind, and a group of men walking out of the dim light of the fire.

Each of them carried a wild beast, their faces beaming with joy.

in the cave.

After waiting for a long time, the children had already fallen asleep, and the women's anticipation at the beginning turned into worry. They all sat cross-legged on the animal skin with dejected expressions, waiting for the men to return.

The entrance of the cave was blocked with stones, and it wasn't very cold in the cave, but at night we still had to sleep with a fire on.

Uva's wife had already come down from the stone bed and was sitting by the fire with the other women and waiting.She listened carefully to the sound outside again, and after confirming that there was no sound, she lowered her head and added more firewood to the fire.

This is what Ji Chi and the others saw when they returned to the cave in a cold wind. It was very warm, like returning home.At that moment, Ji Chi felt close to them for the first time.

It might as well go on like this, he thought to himself as he put down the dead beast.

Seeing their battle, the worried women immediately laughed.

They were both shocked and delighted to see wild beasts being left on the open space at the entrance of the cave one by one.

The dead beast was heavy and big, and the sound was louder when it was put down, waking up the sleeping children. They ran over sleepily and stared at the small hills that were gradually piled up with wild beasts in front of them. fully awake.
