Chapter 20: Humanity
Jiu Wentian didn't seem to want to admit this fact, nodded and said softly, "Yes, is there any problem?"
"No, no. Come with me. When Lei Huo was confirmed, his eyes immediately turned from sharp to disappointed, and he saw Lei Huo take the long snake in his mouth and walk towards it sullenly.
It was the same tent again, but it looked no different from ten years ago, and the burn scar on the left eye of the Thunder Tiger Thunder Patriarch was as shocking as it was ten years ago. There was still only one Lei Hu in this tent, and Lei Huo left after bringing Jiu Wentian and Xiaoba.
Hachi was only a little quiet at this time, he had slowly adapted to the feeling of fear, but he was still a little vigilant. Xiao Hachi stood on Jiu Wentian's head and looked left and right, but still said respectfully to Lei Hu: "Thunder Patriarch, you are still so healthy. ”
"Alright, no one has wished me good health in so long. Lei Hu, who landed on his feet and looked like an upright person, took boiling water from the fire pit and poured it into a black cup, and continued: "None of you wants me to die soon, and you say something against yourself." ”
Xiaoba was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized: "Don't dare, Patriarch Lei, I have always respected you, although we have only seen each other once in hundreds of years, but I have never said anything bad about you behind my back." ”
Seeing Xiao Hachi's sincerity, Jiu Wentian couldn't help but sigh that this parrot's desire to survive was still very strong, so Jiu Wentian quickly changed the topic and said, "Thunder Patriarch, how is this time going?"
Lei Hu handed the black cup to Jiu Wentian, and the other cup was placed on the ground to signal Xiaoba to come here to drink, Lei Hu held a smoking gun made of bamboo, and the smoking gun was a tobacco leaf somewhere in the mountains. Thunder Tiger took a puff of cigarette and spit it out unhurriedly and said, "The Third-Order Forest has always been a place of dispute, and it is full of fierce things.
"If it weren't for the fact that we tigers have natural claws and sharp teeth, we would have quit this place a long time ago. You see, those worms have been harassing our territory for years, trying to expand their territory. So I've been rebelling against them all these years, but this body is old after all, and I don't know how long I can hold on. Maybe a day, or a year......"
According to what Lei Hu said, Jiu Wentian observed Lei Hu more, and sure enough, Lei Hu had a few more wounds on his body, if he guessed correctly, this was bitten by those long snakes. And Lei Hu's face also looked a lot haggard, it was estimated that he hadn't slept for many days, and Lei Hu was completely relying on that gun to keep himself awake.
Jiu Wentian took a sip of the water in the black cup, the entrance of this water was actually sweet, and the water after heating the pot also stabilized Jiu Wentian's mind, in short, this water is indescribably strange. Jiu Wentian couldn't help but ask, "Patriarch Lei, this water is really delicious." ”
"yes, I've never drunk such good water in my life. Hachi said after taking a few puffs with his mouth there.
Lei Hu didn't show a smile because of the good words of the two of them, but took a puff of cigarette and continued: "It's delicious, this cup is made of stones found from a cave in recent years, we could only drink water from small lakes or rivers, but since someone made such a cup out of this stone and filled it with water, this water will be extremely sweet." ”
Jiu Wentian looked at the cup and found that it was indeed a cup made of stone, and the shape was rough, it was just a hole dug in a stone. What fascinates Jiu Wentian in this world is that he not only has the things from his previous life in his memory, but also his own treasures here. The herb is one, and the ore is another.
The ores here are not only the so-called gold, silver and jadeite, but also countless strange substances, which may not seem special, but have many uses. For example, the black powder that Jiuwentian applied to the body just now, it has the function of quickly healing the wounds of the body, in addition to the effect of removing body odor and beautifying the skin.
"Then since there is such a thing, it should be used more. Hachi took another sip, and looking at his expression, it seemed that he had completely forgotten those fears.
Jiu Wentian also nodded and said, "If you use these stones, the quality of life in your clan will be improved, Thunder Patriarch." ”
Patriarch Thunder slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke, stood in the small tent and sighed and said, "Yes, I think so too. But those long worms disagreed, saying that the so-called mountain mother came to grab land with us, and we really encountered a group of greedy worms. But no matter how many bugs there were, he was still a bug, and he would never be able to stand up and walk on two legs. ”
Jiu Wentian still missed the water in the cup, so he drank it all in one go. Jiu Wentian, who put down the cup, couldn't help but feel a little sad and surprised, Lei Hu's approach seemed to be right, and he could make this group of tigers live a better life. But there is nothing wrong with snakes, protecting the environment has always been what everyone should do, if you blindly only try to yourself, it will inevitably be eaten by nature.
This question has long been heard for a long time, or he does not know how he should choose, the war between the tiger and the snake cannot be stopped, and it is impossible for both sides to take a step back. Thunder Patriarch wants to make the most of these resources, while the snake wants to maintain the balance of the natural world. Jiu Wentian thought in his mind that the world of the previous life had eaten the evil fruits of his own planting, but those resources did make them live a happier life.
Therefore, neither of these can be said to be correct, and if it is said that these resources can be used rationally, or planned development, it is not that they cannot live in harmony. Thinking of this, Jiu Wentian couldn't help but speak: "Thunder Patriarch, in my opinion, this ......"
Lei Hu put down the cigarette gun, interrupted what Jiu Wentian wanted to say, and said in a low voice: "Boy, you have to know that I didn't ask you to give me an idea. I don't care what you're doing here, and I don't ask you about your whereabouts, I can tell you so much for the sake of Gu Qi's face. If you just want to come here for a glass of water, then I'm always welcome, but if you point fingers at me, even Guqi can't persuade me to come. ”
After a long time, he was stunned, and then he thought that he was just a guest, and there was no reason to give them his opinion, and even more so to get involved in this matter. All he could do was to watch from the sidelines, and Wen Tian couldn't continue to stay here after this long, so he had to say, "Okay, Patriarch Thunder, let's go." ”
Patriarch Thunder picked up his cigarette again, took a puff, and continued, "Are you going?"
Jiu Wentian smiled and said with some embarrassment: "I want to go to the fourth-order forest, there is one of me...... Friends. ”
"Then you have to be careful, the fourth-order forest is full of a group of evil beasts, they don't care who is behind you, if you annoy them, as long as you are still in the fourth-order forest, then you will definitely not come out alive. The Thunder Clan Chief said earnestly.
Jiu Wen Tianzuo said, "Thank you Patriarch Thunder for the reminder. ”
The Thunder Patriarch nodded, then walked out of the tent himself, and shouted into the woods, "Duoduo!
After Jiu Wentian followed Lei Hu out of the tent and heard Lei Hu shouting like this, Jiu Wentian's heart suddenly shocked, this Duoduo was the tiger who sent him out of the third-order forest ten years ago, and he was also a tigress, and he almost ate himself like Lei Huo at that time. This name still has some deterrent effect on Jiu Wentian.
The Thunder Patriarch took advantage of Duoduo's time to come over and said, "You have changed a lot during this time, but the smell on your body has not changed, and Duoduo will still know you." By the way, Duoduo and Lei Huo have already made a marriage, and when this time has passed, they will prepare for the wedding, and you can come to attend at that time, and I will go and ask Guqi to inform you. ”
"Okay, then I'll trouble Thunder Chief. "I didn't expect that the tiger would also get married, or that there would be something very ceremonial like a wedding, but it's not surprising that the animals here are all intelligent, not like the group of animals outside who rely on their instincts to get by.
After a while, Duoduo walked over with his hands covered in blood, and handed a small snake to Lei Hu with a small snake in his hand and said, "Thunder Patriarch, are you looking for me? This is a small long worm that I caught, and it should be good to roast and eat." How is this monkey so familiar?"
Duoduo looked Jiuwentian up and down for a while, then got closer and sniffed, and suddenly exclaimed: "Isn't this the human being a hundred years ago?
Jiu Wentian scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "That, I'm going to go to the fourth-order forest." ”
Hachi flew up and began to horn, "Don't eat me, don't eat me." ”
"I won't eat your bird, you don't even have a piece of meat on you. Duoduo stared at Xiao Hachi and couldn't help complaining, and asked Jiu Wentian by the way: "You want to go to the Fourth-Order Forest?" I thought you were a normal monkey, no, humans. ”
Jiu Wentian smiled and asked, "Why, it can't be said to be normal to go to the fourth-order forest?"
"Those long worms have been stolen in here, you better go first, don't let those long worms find out, otherwise it will be troublesome. That, Duoduo, you send them there. Thunder Patriarch said, smoking a cigarette.
Duoduo lay down and said reluctantly: "Okay, but Lei Huo is still there to kill those long worms, you hurry up and get on my back, I send you away and you have to come back quickly." ”
Jiu Wentian excused himself and said: "Since you have something to do, then Xiaoba and I will go over by ourselves, anyway, it won't take much effort." ”
"You don't really think that the third-order forest is a joke, do you? If you're not in our territory right now, then you don't even know how you died, and the third-order forest is as big as lions and crocodiles, and as small as scorpions and spiders, are you sure you want to go by yourself? They are very hungry and hungry. Saying that, Duoduo couldn't help laughing, she laughed at the ignorance of Wentian and Xiaoba towards the third-order forest.
Jiu Wentian was also a little frightened when he heard this, so he had to sit up and said, "Then, I'll trouble you." ”
