Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 75 Returning Home
In the face of survival, everyone will do their best to survive, even if there is only a glimmer of life, they will firmly grasp it. Not to mention the human beings in ancient times, no matter how difficult it is, they have to live and continue the fire of the human race.
This group of captives of the Qing tribe, if you give them meat to eat, he can tell all the big and small things of the whole tribe. This made Ding Qi regret a little before, he knew that he would use meat to tempt them without forcing a confession, and it took so much money.
The next morning, after looking at the wound on the red deer's leg and smearing it with iodine, Ding Qi beckoned everyone to start their journey back.
It's safer on the way back, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke those beasts, then you don't have to worry too much. Not to mention that there is also Xiao Jin on guard in the air, and the two fierce beasts patrol around, such as mammoths and saber-toothed tigers, which will also avoid the crowd far away. However, some predatory jackals that did not have long eyes followed for some distance, and after being charged by Ding Qi and Ben with spears and weapons for a while, they dispersed.
Although the danger has decreased, in primitive times, the risk was everywhere. On the same night that they chose to camp on a small hillside near the river, they were targeted by a group of jackals, three saber-toothed tigers, and a joint hunting group of five leopards. Fortunately, Xiao Hei and the others warned in advance and added more firewood to the bonfire, so that the coalition army did not dare to pounce on it at the first time.
But so many beasts still brought a lot of pressure to everyone, and as a last resort, Ding Qi took out the big killing weapon-bow and arrow, and after shooting more than half of the jackals, the entire coalition army was in chaos. The saber-toothed tiger and the leopard rushed forward and staged a good scene of counter-killing in front of Ding Qi and them, and after culling the remaining jackals, the eight beasts were safe and well, and feasted on the spot, but they did not look at Ding Qi.
The world of beasts is the world of the naked jungle, one moment they are allies, and the next moment they may become the culprits that push them into the abyss.
The crisis is over, but the power of Ding Qi's bow made the members of the original deer tribe present feel frightened, and at the same time, there was a burst of excitement in their hearts, can follow such a leader, will they also use this powerful weapon in the future? And those captives of the Qing tribe had even more cold nights in their hearts, how could they provoke such a tribe?
And Ding Qi didn't have any worries about the exposure of the bow and arrows, sooner or later he had to let the Bucks know that they had become their own people, and they didn't have to worry too much about anything. As for the captives, they will not have a chance to turn over or escape, unless they can be recognized by the tribe to join the tribe, otherwise even if they run away, Ding Qi will lead someone to find them and kill them all, for the unconscious captives, death is their only option.
On the way, he also saw a lot of deer and antelope herds, which made Ding Qi's heart worry about meat replenishment a little. When one person's material consumption is one, then if you increase 22 people, the daily material consumption will not increase by 22 times, but may be 30 to 35 times, or even more, so Ding Qi has to plan carefully.
On the way back, I had to take care of the wounded and the prisoners dragged me down, so the trip was delayed for almost two days. Looking at the home with red tiles and white walls not far away, the corners of Ding Qi's eyes, who had not been away for a long time, became moist, this was his first home in the primitive world! It looks so kind at the moment.
Go home! What a common and sacred word!
Before he arrived at the door, Xiaobai had already rushed out of the house, shaking his head and tail, how happy he was!
When Ding Qi saw Xiaobai, he opened his arms and screamed twice, wanting to have a warm hug with Xiaobai. A white shadow flashed past Ding Qi and rushed straight to Xiao Hei behind him, and Ding Qi's face collapsed instantly.
Ben and the buck behind them all laughed, thinking that this wolf was so cute that he could embarrass Dingqi!
However, while they were laughing, they also gave Ding Qi's evaluation a higher level. A man with four beasts as pets is really powerful!
Test! Am I as good as a wolf! However, Ding Qi was still very happy and happy to see Xiaobai.
The two wolves chased each other from the hillside down the hill to the yard, and they were so happy that they couldn't help it. And the little cutie is still the same cold look, and the little gold has already landed on the roof, looking at the two wolves who are fighting, and expressing curiosity about their relationship.
At the gate of the courtyard, the deer stood there with the others and waited, and as soon as Ding Qi and them appeared, the deer turned around and rushed over, with surprises, thoughts, and love!
Ding Qi, who hit the head, was embarrassed, what's the matter with this deer, we haven't been familiar to this extent, you come and hug me, how can I tell it clearly in front of everyone's eyes? Forget it, don't you want to, just hug it, as a modern person, can't you even compare to a primitive person?.
Immediately, Ding Qi closed his eyes, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and opened his arms, ready to meet the embrace of the deer!
A gust of wind blows!
"Daddy!"
Ding Qi was stunned!
Who is the deer's dad?
Ding Qi quickly turned to look behind him, expressing his disdain that he didn't hug him, but only expressed curiosity about her father.
Fixedly, the deer and the stag hugged each other. Obviously, the buck is the father of the deer.
However, Ding Qi was very curious, and learned from the chat with Ben that the current tribe is still dominated by a matriarchal society, and a person only knows who his mother is, but rarely knows who his father is. Tribes and tribes reproduce through marriages, so there is a situation where the mother is known but not the father.
Just like before, the three leaders of the Graystone Tribe, the Red Bull Tribe, and the Blue Bird Tribe invited Ding Qi to visit their tribe next spring, and they also wanted to get married. It's just that Ding Qi doesn't know much about some of the habits of primitive society, and he really thinks that he is just visiting and exchanging goods.
The deer invites everyone into the courtyard, as if she were the owner of the courtyard, and keeps introducing everything in the courtyard. Ding Qi felt a little awkward, I'm the master here, okay, it should be me who introduced it, how can you steal my play?
But just think about it, this place will become their home in the future, and whoever introduces it will be the same.
The stag looked at everything in the yard and was speechless in shock, the towering houses, the domesticated animals, the meat and fur that filled the yard, the unknown things to dry, all incredible. What kind of brain does it take to think of this?
Ding Qi looked at everything in the yard and felt that it was not his own home, how could it be so clean, including the poop pulled by the animals. It's not like when Ding Qi was there, and the leftover weeds were piled up around the hay trough, and they were only cleaned once in a long time, making it stink.
Ding Qi approached the deer, originally wanting to praise her, but when he saw her appearance, he said in surprise:
"Deer, why are you so thin?"
Turning his face to look at the other few people who stayed behind, they all lost a circle. Ding Qi wondered, how could he lose weight? There's a lot to eat in my yard.
The deer gave him a blank look:
"Besides, it's all your fault for letting us eat your roasted meat and boiled broth, and everyone won't do it according to your method, but they can't eat what they make themselves. Therefore, in the past half a month, everyone has no taste when eating, and they are getting thinner and thinner. ”
After hearing this excuse, Ding Qi laughed dumbly, this excuse was patted on the back. Well, I love it!
Seeing that it was approaching noon, Ding Qi hurriedly asked everyone to take the captives to the big stone and put them under special care. Then we began to divide the labor for everyone, fetching water, collecting firewood and grass, drilling wood for fire, breaking down meat pieces, setting up stoves, and roasting meat.
Ding Qi was busy at the five or six clay pots, no way, this group of people came into contact for the first time, and they didn't know how to use it, so they could rest assured after slowly teaching them a few times. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ding Qi called all six women in the tribe to follow him to learn how to use a clay pot, how to cook soup, and the difference between boiling broth and fish broth.
Watching everyone guard a clay pot and slowly stir the pot with a wooden stick in his hand, Ding Qi smiled bitterly, there is always a first time in everything, once it is raw and twice cooked, it will definitely get better and better.
The barbecue was presided over by Ben, who had taught him himself and had mastered some skills. Ding Qi asked Ben to go to the barbecue, but there were also some careful thoughts, he didn't want to eat the meat roasted by other primitive people, the half-cooked and bloodshot appearance made Ding Qi sick to his stomach.
Taking advantage of their busyness, Ding Qi secretly came to the bamboo forest with an axe, cut an old bamboo and came back, sawed it into a cut with a saw, and then chopped it into the thickness of chopsticks, scraped it one by one with a straight knife and threw it into a bamboo tube. Stay will let them try the power of the chopsticks and see who can master them quickly. As for the captives, they don't have that right, and it's good to have what they can eat.
But as the cooking drew to a close, the pain of Ben was felt by the others. When some tribesmen saw the white smoke, they put their hands into the pot and felt that there was no problem, so they put their hands into the pot, and the tragedy continued.
Ding Qi hurriedly asked Ben to run to the creek with the scalded personnel and cool them down with cold water.
No way, Ding Qi once again explained to everyone the danger of hot water, don't reach in, it's like being burned by fire, it hurts! Don't try to drink the hot soup either, wait until after Ryoko.
When they came back, Ding Qi gave everyone a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, which made the bucks very confused, and they didn't know what it was for, but after the deer gave everyone a demonstration, the people of the original deer tribe were a little eager to try it, and wanted to quickly feel the role of the bowl and chopsticks.
Give everyone a bowl of fish soup first, and then let it cool and blow it cold before eating. Although there are deer on display, everyone's gestures using chopsticks are strange and foreign. Ding Qi also closed his mouth with a smile, so he had to leave this teaching task to the deer, holding a bowl by himself, squatting in the corner and eating his own food.
A hot meal always makes people feel a sense of satisfaction!
When everyone had finished eating, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon, Tinch gathered the bucks and their captives together and told them the rules of the tribe in the future. Pay attention to hygiene, don't defecate in the open, go to the toilet, change animal skins frequently, bathe frequently, drink hot water or cool water, and brush your teeth.
