Nine: Primitive tribes

In the early morning, the rising sun is not visible in the valley, but the light level changes slightly. The light emitted by the countless luminous stones in the valley gradually weakened, the sky gradually brightened, and the faint light in the air sprinkled to the valley, trying to cover up and replace the light emitted by the luminous stones to illuminate the valley, gradually, the light sprinkled in the air defeated these luminous stones without any suspense, and the scenery in the valley became clearer. And these glow-in-the-dark stones in the valley seem to have completed the task of the night at this moment, and they are all lying there quietly, as if they are no ordinary stones.

Dong'er and Xue'er are standing under the cliff at the bottom of the valley, discussing how to climb the steep cliff.

The herbs picked by Xue'er are really a panacea, and after this night, the injuries on Dong'er's face and body have basically recovered, and they look no different from usual.

The seven men went up and down a woven rattan that hung down from above, and when they went up they removed the rattan as well. Dong'er said helplessly to Xue'er, "Now we can only find a way again." ”

They can also weave another rattan themselves, but there is a way to hang down the valley floor, and they are now at the bottom of the valley, and obviously there is no way to hang the rattan.

Dong'er took out the two daggers he was carrying, these daggers were sharp and hard, Dong'er had always carried them with him, he thrust one of the daggers into the stone wall, and actually inserted the dagger deep into the rock! Dong'er's strength at this time was already different from what it used to be, and even Dong'er herself was a little surprised at this time, and Xue'er opened her mouth wide in surprise!

He grabbed the dagger inserted into the cliff wall with one hand, jumped up, and with the other hand inserted another dagger into the cliff wall, and then pulled out the dagger below, and his body jumped up again with the power of the dagger above, and so the two daggers climbed up alternately.

After climbing some distance, Dong'er found that the two daggers had been severely damaged and could no longer insert themselves into the stone wall, so she had to jump down again.

At this time, suddenly there were several geckos under the cliff and quickly climbed towards the cliff, they climbed very fast, crawling on such a steep cliff as if walking on the ground, easy and stress-free. Dong'er learned the appearance of a gecko, sticking his hands and feet to the cliff, fluttering for a while, but he couldn't climb up. Seeing Dong'er's movements, Xue'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, she held her stomach and giggled, Dong'er stopped moving, turned around and looked at Xue'er in surprise, and asked embarrassedly, "Sister, what are you laughing at?"

Xue'er finally held back a laugh and said, "Do you think you can climb up like this? You're not a gecko, geckos have suction discs on their feet!"

"Suction plate, what kind of suction plate?" Dong'er was puzzled.

"Suction plate, ......", she was a little worried, this thing seemed to be difficult to explain clearly, she scratched her scalp, "Let me tell you this!" She walked to the edge of the cliff, put her palm on the cliff wall and showed it to Dong'er, she said: "Look, if the palm of my hand is very soft, it can't leak air into the stone wall, and I arched the palm of my hand hard, just sucked it up, and sucked it on the stone wall." She explained and demonstrated, and Dong'er understood it at once.

"If only we had a few of these suction plates!" Dong'er said enviously.

"Let's look around the valley and see if there's any material to make a suction plate. Cher suggested.

"Okay!"

The two of them searched around the valley, and in front of the man-eating tree, Xue'er found a sword lying on the ground under the tree, which was the same sword that Huang Ling was taken away by the man-eating tree, because the sword man-eating tree was inedible, so it was thrown on the ground under the tree.

Cher found a long branch and carefully pulled out the sword on the ground, but the branch was not long enough to reach.

Dong'er found a longer branch, but still couldn't reach it, so she had to carefully move closer and enter the range of the man-eating tree.

The man-eating tree was quiet, and did not attack Dong'er, just like the last time Dong'er came out of the hole, not only did it not attack, but those rattans also obviously shrank back, as if to avoid Dong'er, Dong'er was even bolder, directly threw the branch in his hand, walked over and picked up the sword on the ground, and then returned to Xue'er's side, in this process the cannibal tree did not move in any way, and there was no intention of attacking.

Could it be that this man-eating tree really has a mind, and has a memory to recognize the two of them?

Xue'er and the two of them couldn't care so much, and took the sword in their hands, Xue'er was surprised to find that the material made of this sword contained an incomparably hard substance, if this material was purified and made into a dagger, Dong'er would be able to climb to the top of the cliff with such a dagger!

Cher told Dong'er about the idea, and the two of them immediately set up a furnace and began to smelt the sword.

There was already one in this furnace valley, and Dong'er's dagger and sword were all smelted and forged by Dong'er's mother with this furnace, and now Xue'er is also using it.

The sword was gradually refined in the furnace, and under Xue'er's guidance, the required material was finally refined, and two swarthy daggers were created.

Dong'er took the dagger and tried it on a boulder, he raised the dagger and plunged it into the boulder, and the blade of the dagger immediately sank into the boulder!

"What a dagger!" Dong'er couldn't help but praise. "I'll use these two daggers to climb to the top of the cliff first, and then weave a rattan on top of it and hang down to pull you up!"

The two of them came to the bottom of the cliff again, and this time Dong'er used the two newly forged daggers to climb to the top of the cliff smoothly, and then hung Xue'er up with rattan.

"Finally out of the valley!" Dong'er stood on the top of the cliff, breathing in the air on the top of the cliff, looking at the world beyond the valley - lush and full of primeval forest.

How could the world outside the valley be like this? Dong'er and Xue'er looked at each other, they never dreamed that the world outside the valley was actually a forest full of the world, let alone looking for those seven people, such a vast forest in the world, there was not a single figure!

It turned out that both of them thought that as long as they climbed to the top of the cliff, they could see a human world, and they had imagined the appearance of the human world many times, and they had imagined the scenery of the cliff top many times, but they had never thought about the appearance of the cliff top in front of them.

What to do? Where do I go now?

"Let's go higher!" Dong'er suggested. Dong'er is used to living at the bottom of the valley, and has always longed for the top of the cliff, yearning for the world outside the valley, that is, the world above, until now, I still think that as long as I go to a high place, there must be nothing wrong.

They walked through the forest one after the other, towards the heights, but they did not know that they would go deeper and deeper into the forest.

There are many more things to eat in the mountains than in the valley, there are all kinds of wild fruits that can be eaten, as well as all kinds of wild vegetables and mushrooms that can be eaten, and occasionally one or two large beasts that attack them can be killed. It's just that at night, for fear of being attacked by fierce beasts, two people take turns keeping vigil every night, and one person sleeps and the other has to be guarded by the side.

I walked like this for several days, during which I was attacked by many large beasts, and at first I was easily killed by Dong'er every time, but Xue'er was born with the character of cherishing life, and after Dong'er killed every beast that attacked in the future, Xue'er accused Dong'er of not being so cruel and should not deprive them of their lives. It's been said a lot of times, and when a wild beast comes to attack again, Dong'er has no choice but to show mercy to his subordinates, beat them painfully, and just drive them away. Those beasts that were killed were roasted and eaten by the two of them, every time Xue'er ate them with relish, every time Dong'er saw Xue'er loving meat so much, she couldn't help but sarcastically say to her: "Sister, you love meat so much, and you don't let me kill those beasts, if I don't kill them, how can you have meat to eat?"

"As long as you don't kill them, I won't eat meat!" Cher said as she tore off another piece of meat and put it in her mouth, chewing it with relish.

Dong'er had no choice but to smile, as long as his sister was happy, he would be willing to do whatever he wanted.

It was another dusk, and after seven days of walking through this primeval forest, they came to the edge of a great canyon.

"Look, there's a valley over there!" Cher pointed to the canyon over there and shouted to Dong'er.

Dong'er walked in front, at this time he was looking at the side front, not far from Dong'er, there was a gray hare, with an arrow on his buttocks, running desperately in the forest, because he was injured by the arrow, the speed of running was not very fast.

Dong'er shook off her feet and chased after her, and soon caught up with the rabbit. In terms of the speed of Dong'er's running, even the cheetah in this forest, he can easily catch up.

As soon as Dong'er reached out, she grabbed the rabbit's ears and lifted the hare.
