"Help! Help—-! ”

In a dark, dense jungle, I saw a young man in his twenties running forward frantically, his delicate face distorted by fear.

The rustling sound of "rustling" from the lush grass and bushes not far behind him was everywhere, and it was getting closer and closer.

The young man seemed to have sensed something, his face was already oozing dense beads of sweat, his physical strength seemed to be a little exhausted, his steps gradually slowed down, and his eyes began to show a desperate look.

And at this moment, a bright light appeared in front of the young man, and he couldn't help but lift his spirits, although he didn't know what that light represented, he still used the last bit of strength in his body, and ran towards that light like crazy.

Seeing that the bright light was in front of him, he suddenly stumbled under his feet, and heard a "oops", only to see his whole person fall forward, roll several times, and stop, a bright light just shot in his eyes, and he subconsciously squinted.

However, this light is not the path to heaven, nor does it represent the dawn of escape from the ascension, it is just an ordinary ray of sunlight, and he only came to the jungle, no, he must have rolled out of the jungle.

It was too late, it was too late, there was a sharp noise in the grass, and then a roar was heard, and a huge gray-haired beast with two long fangs flew out of the grass and pounced on the young man.

"Ah—-!h

The young man screamed in fear.

Sou!

In the midst of the lightning and flint, the young man felt a white light pass in front of him, hitting the fanged beast above him, and heard a painful wail, and the fanged beast seemed to have been hit by a powerful force, and flew backwards violently.

The young man who had escaped death seemed to be exhausted, lying on the ground weakly, gasping for breath, suddenly feeling that his eyes were dark, as if something was blocking the sun, he used all his strength to move his eyes up, vaguely as if he saw a shirtless man looking at him indifferently.

"Save me ......!"

He tried to raise his hand, but soon let it go, his eyes darkened, and he fainted.

......

"Ahh

And when he opened his eyes again, he saw a crumpled old face, and it was so close that he screamed in fright like a frightened girl.

"Ah.....h

His sudden exclamation seemed to frighten the old face, and he opened his mouth wide and screamed, and while screaming, his trembling body retreated sharply, staggering, and almost fell to the ground several times.

Only then did the young man see clearly that this person was an old man who looked like he was seventy or eighty years old, with pale hair, the color of snow, some bone ornaments between the fluffy and messy hair, swaying like a pendulum with the withered white hair, his eyes were sunken, but he was in good spirits, his face was ruddy, a pair of old eyes were bright, he was naked, and he had a "short skirt" around his waist, which was actually a simple sewn animal skin, with two long legs stretched outward, thin as firewood, and the rib clouds protruding from the ribs might be able to play a beautiful melody. In his right hand he holds a staff of dead wood, which matches his stature very well.

Before the cry fell, the young man faintly heard a rapid sound under his feet, and subconsciously lowered his eyes to sweep away, and couldn't help but scream again, it turned out that there was a young man squatting at his feet, who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was also wearing loose hair, thick and black, and a pair of eyes were pure and flawless, black and white, and extremely smart. The young man ran forward, and secretly looked back at him, unlike the old man, the young man's shining eyes were not full of fear, but full of curiosity.

"Who are you?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the young man suddenly felt that he couldn't move, and when he looked down, he found that he was tied to a big tree by a vine, and he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and raised his head: "Who are you and why do you want to —-! ”

Halfway through the conversation, he stopped.

The young man's eyes widened, and his gaze was full of horror as he looked ten steps ahead.

I saw dozens of people quietly watching him, including children and girls, women and the elderly, as well as strong men. The children are almost naked, and most of the men are hanging a piece of animal skin or leaves in front of them to cover their ugliness, compared to comparison, the old man seems to be dressed more decently, at least, it looks like an extremely simple short skirt, this is nothing, the key is women, there are many women who are also naked, and the two big lumps of meat on their chests are in the breeze, immovable, full of weight, of course, there are some wrapped in animal skins.

They also wore a variety of jewelry, but it was all made of bones.

"Am I here for an African tribe?"

It was only after a long time that the young man reacted, muttering in disbelief, and chuckling in his heart, "No, they don't look black...... Could this be the uncivilized Americans, Indians? No, they are neither wide-nosed nor high-nosed and deep-eyed, and their hair is also black, and they are clearly yellow like me. ”

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered that monster, or the strange jungle, "Could it be————! A flash of fear flashed in his eyes, and his eyes suddenly fixed on a stone spear in the hand of a sturdy man, "Is it—is it—that I've come to a primitive era." Thinking of this, he shook his head vigorously and muttered to himself: "Impossible, impossible, I should be going back to the Great Song Dynasty, how could I come to this primitive society——, no, no, God, this joke is really impossible—-! ”

Saying and talking, his emotions suddenly became extremely excited, and he struggled desperately, "Let go of me, let go of me, I'm going to Da Song." ”

Obviously, he couldn't accept what was in front of him.

However, there was a deathly silence around him, so that he only felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, he looked at it intently, and couldn't help but feel terrified, only to see the three or five elite men indifferently holding a stone spear at him, the head of the spear was not sharp at all, but it exuded a murderous aura, which made people feel terrifying.

But the children seemed to be frightened by him, clinging to the adult's thigh, just squinting, secretly looking at him, and when they saw him, they turned their little faces away, and fear and curiosity were intertwined.

And although the three or five strong sweaters aimed the spear at the young man, but their eyes were all looking at a slightly fat old woman in the middle, the old woman was also silver-haired, she looked like she was fifty or sixty years old, her face was ruddy, her face was kind, and she was also the most worn among these people, in addition to a fur skirt wrapped in her lower body, her upper body was also wrapped in a fur short coat, at least she couldn't see anything that she shouldn't see.

The old woman stared at him for a while, and suddenly asked, "Who are you?" Why break into our territory in Blackstone Valley? ”

The young man was shocked to hear this, she... How is her language --- similar to mine? This is impossible, if this is a primitive era, it makes no sense that she would have such an advanced language, or that this is not a primitive society at all. He couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart, and at the same time calmed down, groaned slightly, and said word by word: "The little brother's name is Li Qi, and he is from... I came from the east, but I got lost on the way and came here. ”

Although the language between them is very similar, there is still a considerable difference in pronunciation, somewhat similar to the different dialects between the two provinces in later generations, so the young people deliberately speak more slowly, for fear that they will not be able to hear clearly.

The old woman's brow sank slightly, but she did not make a sound, as if she was thinking about something.

Li Qi didn't know if she understood or not, but he didn't have time to care about these things now, so he immediately asked, "Where is this?" ”

"This is Blackstone Valley!" The old woman said.

"Blackstone Valley?"

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, who asked you this, and asked again: "I would venture to ask one more question, what era is it now?" As he spoke, he looked unusually nervous.

"Age?" The old woman was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "What is the age?" ”

The young man's eyes were full of disappointment, she didn't even know what the age meant, it seems that I still came to a primitive society, but why is our language so similar, is our language born in the Stone Age? It's incredible. Wait, I still seem to have a heavy responsibility, no matter where I am now, I have to live first, I have to live. He took a deep breath, looked up, and asked the old woman, "Why do you want to tie me up, I have no ill will." "But I thought in my heart, there are so many of you, I think it's hard to have malice!

The old woman suddenly looked at the old man.

"It's horrible! It's scary! ”

The old man was still there shivering.

Did I just scare him? No, it's clear that he scared me, and he came to me like this, and I woke up from a coma, can I not be afraid! It's just that there are so many of them, so I should have scared him.

This man is under the eaves, and he has to bow his head! Li Qi explained softly: "Old man, I was scared by you just now, in fact, I am not terrible at all, I got lost in the woods in front of me, and then I was chased by wild beasts, if I am terrible, I will still be chased by wild beasts and faint." ”

When the old woman heard this, she whispered a few words to the old man.

The old man looked at Li Qi back and forth from the bottom to the top, and his sunken eyes suddenly revealed an innocent gaze, as if he saw the young man's kind face at this moment, and felt that he was not terrible, and thought for a long time, and finally nodded to the old woman.

The old woman said to Li Qi, "I can let you go, but you must leave our territory immediately." ”

"Okay... Yes? .... Leave... This...? ”

Li Qi originally saw that the other party was willing to let him go, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, but this joy was not yet in his heart, he couldn't help but think, if this is the primitive era, then what is the difference between asking me to leave and asking me to die, I don't even have a weapon in my hand now, anyway, sooner or later I have to feed the beasts, there are at least the same kind of people standing here, and the language is exactly the same, no, I must not leave now, at least I have to wait for me to figure out what is going on. He sneered: "Can you do a good job, take me in, I... I'm homeless now. ”

"Can't!" The old woman looked resolute, "If you don't leave immediately, I will kill you first and then throw you out of our territory according to the rules of our Blackstone Valley." ”

Wow! This old lady looks amiable, but she is so cruel that she wants to kill people at every turn. Li Qi finally understood the difference, leaving is still nine deaths, and staying will definitely be ten deaths. Obviously, he didn't want to choose either, his eyes suddenly rolled, since everyone is human, then everything will not deviate, and said: "Na Na Na... Otherwise, I don't live here for nothing, I can help you work--- right, I'm actually a chef. ”

"What is a chef?"

"Uh... It's that I can cook, delicious meals. ”

"What's a meal?"

"This --- is... I'll cook all the food you eat. Li Qi explained sweating profusely, although the language is the same, but because there are many words, the other party can't understand it, which is still very difficult to communicate.

The old man said, "Food is for eating, not for making." ”

Li Qidu, who was stunned by this, almost fainted, and said: "Food is eaten, but it is also divided into good and bad, and cooking is to make food more delicious." As he spoke, he felt that these primitive people might not be able to understand, and said: "Let's put it this way, the prey you have brought back must first be roasted and then eaten, this is cooking!" ”

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone looked at Li Qi in shock.

Li Qi was furious by them: "I... Am I saying something wrong again? ”

The old woman suddenly asked in a tone of disbelief, "You... Will you make a fire? ”

"Make a fire?"

Li Qi's eyes widened, and he saw the rest of the people looking at him in shock, secretly wondering, is the current cooking still in the stage of making fires. Thinking of this, he almost didn't laugh out loud, but then he smiled, and said in his heart, wait a minute, this is not a fire, and I won't make a fire!

Fire? Fire? Suddenly, he seemed to remember something again, and the only finger that could still move slightly secretly rubbed the side of his pants a few times, and his eyes gradually showed confidence. He nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I know a little bit about this means of making fire." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the crowd, and they exchanged words in low voices, with an unbelievable look in their eyes.

The young man who was squatting at Li Qi's feet suddenly rolled his eyes, quietly ran to the old woman, and whispered something in her ear.

This kid is a bit weird, so you have to guard against him. Li Qi glanced slightly, and secretly cheered up.

After hearing this, the old woman nodded slightly, and then communicated with the women around her who could be regarded as "well-dressed", and those women also nodded after listening.

The old woman suddenly said, "Melt! ”

"In!"

I heard an extremely deep voice, and I saw a strong man with a body like a hill, a steel-like complexion, and a very honest appearance walking out from the back.

When Li Qi saw this person, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, I'll go! What kind of monster is this?

The old woman said, "If you can make a fire faster than him, we may let you stay." ”

Fortunately, it's a fire, not a martial arts competition, otherwise, I would have left! Li Qi looked left and right and said, "This... You tie me up, and I can't make a fire. ”

The old woman pondered cautiously for a moment before saying, "Let him go!" ”

Rong, who was as burly as a hill, stepped forward immediately, but his eyes were full of disdain, and he had no fear of Li Qi at all.

Richie understood his disdain very well, and thought to himself, if I had these steely pectoral muscles, I could also ignore everyone with smaller breasts than me, including women.

Narong came to the back of the tree, and after a while, only a snapping sound was heard.

Li Qi only felt that his whole body was loose, and his arms suddenly felt numb, he couldn't help but rub his hands against each other, and by the way, he looked down at himself, and found that his clothes were still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly said, This primitive person is still quite qualified, although they are naked, but they have not stripped me naked. Looking back again, he found that there was no sharp weapon in Rong's hand, and secretly thought, could it be broken? It can't be, right?

The old woman asked, "Can we begin?" ”

Li Qi was stunned, and hurriedly nodded and said, "It's almost!" Let's go first. ”

The old woman looked at Rong, and Rong nodded confidently.

Li Qi saw it in his eyes and thought, when I haven't read a book, in this primitive era, isn't it just drilling wood to make fire, or striking to make fire, not for most of the day, how can you light a fire, you are arrogant now, don't cry later.

I saw a man walking over with two pieces of wood in one hand and some dry grass in the other, and handed them to Rong with a respectful expression.

Li Qi saw that the two pieces of wood, one thick and one thin, and the thin one was sharpened, and he was even more disapproving, isn't this the starting style of drilling wood for fire. pursed his lips, but his expression was still very humble, quietly watching the other party pretending to be forced.

Rong squatted down, knelt on one knee, first put the thick log in the ground, and then covered the dead grass, leaving only a small hole.

The children gathered around, their eyes wide open, their eyes full of antiquity.

Li Qi secretly disdains it, just a fire, what about you? But he groaned slightly, and immediately understood in his heart that it must be difficult to make fire in this primitive era, so human beings are full of respect and yearning for fire, and these children will seem so excited.

After Rong had everything ready, he held the thin wooden stick between his hands, the pointed end of which was against the thick wood, and rubbed his hands back and forth slowly and vigorously.

Is it an embroidered pillow? With friction at this speed, you can't ignite a fire even when it's dark! Li Qi secretly rolled his eyes, but then his eyes bulged out and his mouth opened wide.

After a moment of rubbing, suddenly his hands rubbed back and forth, and although the thin wood was separated from his hands, it stood on top of the thick wood, and rotated at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and after only a moment, the thin wooden stick began to sink slowly, and at the same time a ball of powder floated up and rotated around the thin wooden stick at high speed.

Suddenly, there was a soft whirl.

The tongue of fire suddenly rose, and the pile of dead grass immediately ignited.

The surrounding children immediately raised their little hands, twisted their hips, sang and danced around the fire, and sang "lalala", their faces were filled with joy, and they also rippled, which was really cute.

"Drill --- drill --- wood--- take --- --- fire."

Li Qi seemed to have a dislocated jaw, his mouth was wide open, he couldn't close it, and his voice trembled and he couldn't hear it clearly!
