It turns out to be difficult to change one's habitual thinking.

The pattern of the arrow's tail drawn on the stone slab by the forest trace, only three or two men glanced at it and no one paid attention to it. They didn't know if it was really useful, and they didn't believe that Lin Ji could make something useful. Plus it's complicated, and no one wants to take the time to try it.

However, in addition to this one, they can get started very quickly with the bone spear, the fire straight scissor, and the grinding stick. After all, these are really practical and fast.

Lin Ji was not disappointed with this result, he found a long stick with a branch and tied it to the made net pocket, waved it a few times and found that there was no problem, so he went to Daji to offer treasure.

Da Ji looked at and touched the new tool, a little surprised and a little puzzled: "This thing can catch fish?" ”

Lin Ji said: "You can fish." Put this thing in the water, and the water will pass through these meshes, and the fish will not be able to get through, so they will be fished up. But this one has to be fast, I have little strength, and it might be better if an adult comes to fish. ”

Daiki didn't answer. It's hard to say how effective this thing is, it's a child's toy, and she doesn't want to waste a lot of labor on this kind of thing.

Bear Paw gnawed on the head of the fish on the side, and said coldly: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want when you get a few fish back today." We all have to prepare food and fur for the winter, how can we play with you casually? ”

He didn't expect Lin Ji to really get food today, but he glanced at Lin Ji. However, in his opinion, this is just a good fortune for Lin Ji, and he doesn't believe that Lin Ji will be able to get so much food back tomorrow.

The man will be there tomorrow, and he is going to remind Daji to continue the infanticide sacrifice tomorrow. I forgot to remind Da Ji that the man was not here today, and he was already glared at by Da Ji. He won't forget it tomorrow.

He also wanted to remind Da Ji that compared to the prosperity of the tribe, he could not be blinded by the uncertain harvest of forest traces and miss the good time.

Lin Ji squinted at him and said to Da Ji: "Da Ji, then I want an idler from the tribe, okay?" The fish in the river will soon run out, and in a few days I want to build a raft and go to a farther place to fish. It wouldn't be possible without an adult following. ”

Da Ji's eyes rolled around, and he didn't think that there were any other idlers in the tribe, and asked, "Who?" ”

Lin Ji pointed to the tree in the distance, and explained before the bear's paw objected, "The man is confused, and he has broken his leg, and he can't go out hunting." But fishing is no problem. I thought it would be better for him to catch more fish for the tribe to eat than to let him die like this. The foolish thing he did is now hanging him hungry for two days, which can be regarded as punishment. Presumably, after this lesson, he will definitely listen to your Daji. ”

When Bear Claw heard that it was an eagle, he did not object, but sneered: "The child really doesn't understand anything." It's also in the tribe Daji who protects you, if you exchange it out and still look like this, you will inevitably suffer hardship. Today I ate the fish you caught, and I will teach you to be a good man. I was injured and fell, the wound was red and swollen, and my body was hot, and I was not far from death. Such people do not need to be saved. I saw him before nightfall, and he was not only hot, but also insane, and he would not live until tomorrow morning. You don't have to think about it. ”

He seems to be teaching Lin Ruins, but in fact he is selling his own life experience. He already knew that Da Ji had decided to change the forest trails after the winter, and it was nothing to show generosity at this time.

It's just that Lin Ji was unmoved: "Fever does not mean that you will not die." If Daji wants to, I'll put him down and die tomorrow. If it's okay, let him recuperate for a few days. When he was healed, he let him go fishing with us. I still took care of his food while he was recuperating from his injuries. ”

"Did you listen to me? He's dead! "The bear's claw education failed, and he became angry, jumped up and threw himself on Lin Ji, wanting to beat Lin Ji bitterly.

But he threw himself in front of Lin Ji and stopped. In Lin Ji's hand, he didn't know when there was a short spear with a bone tip. Lin Ji looked calm and was about to stab.

"Good! Good! How much have I contributed to the tribe, teach you not to listen, and dare to fight me? Bear Claw blew his beard in anger, and then searched all over the ground for a weapon to take advantage of.

At a certain moment just now, he saw a certain kind of contempt in Lin Ji's eyes. This kind of gaze, he had only seen in some fierce beasts. This made him shudder. Finding weapons is just an excuse to get out of the way. In his heart, he couldn't help but ask: Am I getting a lot older? Can't even deal with a child?

Lin Ji said lightly: "How can I challenge you?" I was asking for Daihime's opinion throughout the conversation. And I'm thinking about the best interests of the tribe. It's you who interject and want to hit someone. ”

Seeing that the scene was out of control, several pregnant women came over and said, "Daji, let him try without losing anything, why not let him try?" ”

A few of them had been paying attention to the words of the forest traces, and heard that if the eagle survived and could help with the fishing, they would naturally help to say something. Because until now, Daiki has not personally admitted to sanitizing the infant sacrifice.

Da Ji finally spoke: "Then you put him down and take a look." ”

Bear Paw's face was gloomy, but when he saw several pregnant women standing on the side of the forest traces, he didn't dare to say anything. Although the mother could not even protect her own children, their status in the tribe was indeed a little higher than his.

But he also felt ruthless in his heart, thinking that he would be in size early tomorrow and see how Lin Ji got some catch. If Lin Ji can't get the catch, he will beat him up during the sacrifice, and after the eagle dies tomorrow, he will also burn Lin Ji himself, which can be regarded as a lesson to Lin Ji.

……

Lin Ji lit a torch and walked to the eagle with three children of the same age.

The night breeze was a little cool, and the firelight of the tribe in the distance kept shining in the wind, and the human voices came intermittently. The torches were also flickering, and they could only illuminate every square inch. In the darkness beyond the light, the night owls screamed, and the beasts howled, as if countless evil spirits were about to pounce out, and it made people's hearts tremble.

"Will you heal?" A child asked about the forest tracks, and the voice was also like a dubbing outside the canvas, and there was a tendency to be blown away by the wind.

"Try it."

After the stimulation of the forest tracks, the eagle finally exhausted the last trace of strength, and the whole person hung softly. His face was as red as boiled shrimp, and his lips were chapped and bleeding. But fortunately, when he saw Lin Ji coming, he opened his eyes.

"Is this going to be put down?" The child on the side asked.

Lin Ji waved his hand to signal to wait, looked at the eagle and asked, "Why do you want to learn to fly as an eagle?" ”

The eagle opened its mouth and made no sound. Lin Ji took the bamboo tube, asked him to lift him a little, and fed him half a tube of water.

The eagle greedily licked the last trace of water stains after licking his lips, and reluctantly looked at the bamboo tube and said, "The eagle flies fast and can eat meat." ”

Lin Ji put his mind at ease, it was not a strange totem ceremony, it was much easier to do. At this time, the phenomenon of pantheism was very serious, and all kinds of ignorant superstitious customs could simply break through people's imagination, and if someone said that they could become a bird by the age of twenty, they must jump from a high place and fall to their death, and Lin Ji would not be surprised at all.

"If you want to eat meat, catch a hawk by yourself and raise it to help you hunt, you are not a real eagle, why are you so stupid to learn to fly?" Lin Ji said casually, and put the person down with his companions.

"Raising eagles?" The eagle's eyes lit up visibly, "Can an eagle be raised?" ”

"You've seen dogs, right? …… It's the kind that looks like a wolf, oh, the gray wolf is raised? So since everyone can raise wolves, why can't eagles? Lin Ji asked rhetorically.

"They have a wolf god." The eagle's eyes dimmed.

"......" Lin Ji was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the so-called totem was really useful. So I don't have a dog here because I don't have a wolf god?

"Without the Eagle God, it is the eagle who dies, not us. I have a chance to try it. Lin Ji said quite unconcernedly.

Or for the first time he heard such a statement, the eagle's eyes lit up again, but soon followed by a bitter cry: "It's useless, it's useless." I don't have the strength to do it now, and I have also seen Ji Zu's call, but I'm afraid that I won't live tomorrow. ”

The way the man cried was so ugly that Lin Ji couldn't wait to punch an ugly face.

Putting the eagle flat on the ground together, Lin Ji said: "You can't die if you hurt one leg." Da Ji said that if you are released, God Ji will not want your life. And it's not incurable. Even if it can't be cured, we got this and it can make you walk. ”

The vermilion monkey in the back took out a branch made in the shape of a cane, and bent one leg and limped under the signal of the forest traces.

Lin Ji said: "Although you can't go fast like this, we don't need you to go out hunting." I've been fishing lately, so you can just stand by the river and cast your nets or help with rowing. One foot is enough. Surely you know I got a lot of fish back today, right? Just believe me. ”

The eagle's face was still miserable: "I don't know what you're talking about, but I can't move a hand now." I'm afraid I won't survive. ”

Lin Ji said: "If you can't move your hands, you're hungry, and you've been hanging for two days." Rest for a few days and you'll be fine. Listen to me now. ”

Lin Ji took a short stick and let the eagle bite without saying anything, and then treated the eagle like a clay man and pinched the eagle's swollen and hair-like feet. X-rays are not available, so he can only judge the broken information of the bone in this way.

Lin Ji regretted that he was not a doctor, otherwise he might have been able to play a greater role if he returned to prehistory. He only knew a little common sense about the treatment of fractures, and only knew that the bones could grow back after the cross-sections overlapped and the bones could grow back by splinting. If it's a comminuted fracture, it's not something he can handle.

Fortunately, the eagle only broke his tibia, and there were no broken bones around it. The section was stacked with the same attitude as a specimen, and Lin Ji tied him with the prepared short rod as a splint and it was done.

In this process, both Eagle and his three children broke out in a cold sweat. Finally the eagle spat out the stick in its mouth, which was full of tooth marks.

"That's it?" The red monkey looked at the tied legs and asked.

"I'll get him some more medicine. Reduces fever and inflammation. The forest trail flashed quickly into the darkness, and it didn't take long for him to come back with a bamboo tube. He grinded the antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs into a bamboo tube, and put a little salt and sugar.

"Drunk." Lin Ji handed the bamboo tube to the eagle's beak.

The eagle drank it and it didn't taste right, but it was all gone. Anyway, he's dying, no matter how much he drops, that's it. And he saw a certain seriousness from Lin Ji's face that did not belong to a child of this age, and inexplicably felt some hope.

The four children joined forces and carried the eagle back to his own hut, and several of them sweated again. When he turned his head to leave, the eagle whispered, "I'm hungry." ”

Lin Ji patted his head, he was so nervous about the first operation that he almost forgot about this. This guy has been hungry for two days, and if he doesn't have anything to eat, he will starve to death if he doesn't get sick.

It's just that the food at this time is all placed in Daji's place, where to get the food?

At this time, Lin Ji's mother, Luo Qi, quietly touched it from the darkness and handed Lin Ji a piece of black roasted kudzu: "I saw that you didn't eat it." Keep it for you. You eat. ”

At this moment, Lin Ji was inexplicably moved in his heart. The whole tribe noticed that he hadn't eaten, and it was probably Luo Que alone. Although the timing of her appearance was a little wrong. When the food was handed out, he was a little reluctant to look at it. And there's a tooth mark on it.

But it was good enough to make the eagle fill its belly first.

Because of the competitive relationship, the men of this tribe were somewhat hostile to Lin Ji and the others. If Lin Ji and the others want to stay next year, they will definitely not be able to do it without a helper by their side. The probability of this guy being lame is more than eighty percent, but he is an adult man, so he used it first.

Lin Ji waited for the eagle to finish eating, and said, "You sleep, you can wake up tomorrow, and you will survive." I saved your life, and I ate the same food that my mother gave you, and you will be my person from now on. I also see my three brothers clearly, they also helped, and I can't be sorry for them in the future. ”
