Chapter 009: Grace

As the royal family of the Manniu tribe, 'Zao' has always been on the edge of the entire tribe.

Not to mention the previous tribal leader, even the ordinary members of the tribe didn't have much of a good impression of him. In the later generations, there were many people who hated the rich, and in the barbarian era, ordinary people did not have much concept of wealth, but they did not have much concept of fat...... Well, people in this era have a general hatred of fat people. Especially in the tribes that don't have enough to eat, the fat people, or the fat people who don't have much tribal status, are the objects of everyone's spit.

'Zao', and now he has a surname, called Li Zao. He was dismissive of the resentment of his tribesmen against him, and continued to go his own way.

But he has a spontaneous sense of closeness to the eldest brother of Lydon, and this closeness was not very strong before, but since Litton allowed him to have the same surname as him, Li Zao has a kind of consciousness in his heart that a soldier dies for a confidant. He wanted to dig out his heart to let his eldest brother Lytton know that he was not a waste. Not a thief who steals the food stored by the tribe, but an adventurer with a lot of experience in finding food.

"Big brother, will you eat?"

Li Zao clumsily climbed onto the big stone where Litton was napping, and felt a lump of things from the bag made of unknown leather around his waist. In the sunlight, this mass seems to have a transparent luster, and at first glance, it feels good. Ay...... No, why is this thing still twisting obediently, and there is a black spot on one end...... I'll go...... Isn't this a bug?

"Take it, take it."

The moment he saw clearly that it was a palm-sized bug wriggling in front of him, Lytton was so frightened that it seemed that the hairs on his back stood on end. Then what caught his eye was Li Zao's flattering face, because he had no status in the tribe, Li Zao was flattering to everyone, with a flattering smile on his face, and he was very surprised that Li Ton actually saw sincerity in Li Zao's eyes.

"Hell yes, Jinnyima." Li Dun cursed secretly in his heart, he couldn't understand that people who had only known him for a few days would have an inexplicable sense of trust.

Trust is a luxury in the Hereafter.

How can people who are not closest people have a sense of trust in each other?

He is actually a person with a very low sense of security, mainly because he has been deceived too many times. After walking out of the school gate, there were routines waiting for him everywhere. Fortunately, at that time, he had no savings, no permanent production, and his appearance was below average, and he was even robbed by the woman. Although this process was short-lived, it did have a great negative impact on him. The idea of not being gullible is rooted in his heart. Li Zao's appearance is nominally his younger brother. But for Lytton, Li Zao is undoubtedly a stranger who intrudes into the life around him.

Because that Li Zao's own brother has already left and gone to another world. In his place was Lytton, the soul of a future life.

Even if Li Zao's own brother doesn't treat him well, after all, for Li Zao, the nominal father is out of touch...... In the age of the wilderness, it is equal to death, no different. And his brother was stolen and replaced, and Li was one of the lonely ones in this world. It was also the feeling of the fallen people at the end of the world, which made Li Dun ease his mood after being frightened, and said softly: "Big brother doesn't eat." ”

Even if his dedication was rejected, Li Zao did not seem particularly disappointed. His life seems to be completely different from the people of the whole tribe, just like his fat, fat so different, fat so outstanding. Lytton couldn't believe that anyone would show heavenly satisfaction and obsession when they ate a live bug. What the hell is this? Compared with the later generations of the Great God Bell, Li Zao's expression is more vivid and wonderful. Yu Bell frowned almost identically, sticking out his tongue, like the pain of eating Xiang, Li Zao ate the same thing, but there was a kind of soul sublimation like enjoying glowing cuisine.

is another cow who was born in the wrong era, if in the later life, Li Zao is fully qualified to become an Internet celebrity with an income of more than 10 million, he doesn't have to do anything, as long as he holds a pot of live insects, and eats a life that can make money for others to see, it will definitely make ordinary people abnormal to the point of doubting life.

At this moment, even Lytton began to wonder, do people in this world like to eat bugs? This organism rich in protein is the best food to supplement nutrition?

For a moment, Lytton's heart was a little tangled.

Primitive societies were resource-scarce, and there was simply no surplus food. Not to mention that the opportunity to supplement with high-quality protein is very rare, and bugs are undoubtedly a good choice. What's worse is that Lytton is still thinking wildly, everyone else is eating, if he doesn't eat, will he be malnourished?

Fortunately, the struggle did not last long, and he spotted a familiar beetle and swaggered past the brothers.

The appearance seems to be laughing at the whole world: "Come and step on me!" ”

"It's like a bed bug." Lytton had the illusion that he was powerless to complain, and when he came to the wilderness, the first time he encountered a familiar animal turned out to be a bed bug.

The wild boar that hunted is not counted, in later generations, it is not where there will be wild boars in the mountains, but also in remote mountainous areas. He, a decadent young man living in the city, has no chance to get in touch with him. Besides, if you don't have a shotgun in your hand when you encounter a wild boar, can you have a bottom in your heart?

But in the era when even imitation guns were confiscated in later generations, and the education of the police uncle was given away for free, could you get a shotgun?

Can you feel safe in the face of a wild boar, one of the three dangerous beasts in the forest, with a bow and arrow in your hand?

Besides, wild boars are still protected animals, and hunting is illegal.

Just as Li Don lost his mind at the bed bug, Li Zao's chubby little hand had already pressed the arrogant bed bug, and skillfully picked out the stink sac of the bed bug with a small stone knife. But it was too late, and a small white mist gushed out, and at this moment Lytton didn't even have a chance to stop it. The smell of decay filled the air with such a choking that he could barely speak.

"Don't come here!"

"Go farther!"

……

When he opened his mouth, he seemed to have forgotten to chew, and Lytton could even see the unwilling bedbug's unrelenting leg kicking. At this moment, he was stunned. He finally found the reason, why Li Zao, as the son of the leader, was in an unpopular situation in the tribe, and even his father didn't want to see him. He, who is the eldest brother, was also scared. Even if the taste of the savage is a little heavier, Lytton dares to pat his chest and assure that no one dares to mouth the bedbug, this thing doesn't seem to be poisonous, but the taste is more terrifying than poison. Li Zao looked at Li Don's performance hesitantly, and the smile on his face suddenly fell, just now he seemed to see the scene of his eldest brother being close to him, but in a blink of an eye, he seemed to have become the most unpopular person in the entire tribe. The moment he turned around, his head drooped down, looking like he had been abandoned by the whole world.

These are all in Li Dun's eyes, Li Zao is actually still a child, with a young expression on his childish face. In the future, at his age, it is estimated that he will be a carefree primary school student in elementary school, or he may be a bear child.

But after all, it was a child, and Li Ton seemed to realize that his reaction just now might have hurt Li Zao. Besides, Li Zao's habit of stuffing everything into his mouth is probably related to not being able to eat enough.

So, he decided to give a certain remedy: "That, Xiaozao!" Big brother just now...... It's not that I hate you. ”

In the hazy sight, a warmth rose in Li Zao's heart, and he found that his eldest brother seemed to be really different: "Big brother! ”

"You eat double portions of food at night."

For a foodie, or a big-bellied foodie who is not picky, a double dinner is definitely the best compliment in the world.

"Big brother, I'm ......"

"Don't come here!"

Li Zao, who wanted to express his gratitude, was rejected by his own brother three meters away, and his face was not disappointed at this time, but glowed with a strange light. He no longer seems to be a wild boy in the tribe that no one cares about, but a member of the family to take care of, and this relative is also the highest ranking leader of the tribe.

According to tribal gossip, the eldest brother has received the approval of the gods and will rule the entire continent on behalf of the gods.

If Lytton knew that the tribesmen expected so much of him, he really didn't know if he should cry or laugh, or cry or laugh. For the first time in his life, he was pinned on high hopes, but in the face of the ardent expectations of the tribesmen, he could only silently say in his heart: "You can't do it!" ”

As a marginal person, Li Zao is still on the edge of the entire tribe.

No one would care if he was around him, but suddenly disappeared.

He is a dispensable person.

But from today onwards, he found that his surroundings were completely different, as if he was in a sea full of flowers, and a new life beckoned.

In the afternoon, the elderly and children who had gone out to collect food came back one after another, and they collected food in the nearby forest. The fruits of autumn are sweet and sweet, and the color is attractive and ripe, which will make you feel appetizing. They adhere to the traditions of their tribe and never eat them first during the gathering process.

So, both adults and children looked unusually tired, hungry and tired, and dragged into the tribe's camp with heavy steps.

"Why didn't you come back when you were full of food?"

Lytton's doubts made the old man who led the team panic, and he shook his head again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare." Your Excellency, we didn't steal at all! ”

The old man's reaction made Lytton frown slightly, and he thought that it might be because of the tribe's system, which did not allow tribesmen to steal food in the process of collecting food. However, this is not the case, and the work is very experience-dependent, but at the same time it is not tiring in some seasons, especially in the autumn when the fruit is abundant.

Gathering teams with no means of transport or even livestock had to carry food to the camp on their shoulders. The process is physically demanding, and it is very difficult to carry food back to camp when the stomach is empty. Especially in the season when food is abundant, it is actually a good thing for the tribe to gather and eat at the same time. Because the gathering team can get more food, part of it in their stomachs; In addition, the gathering team will be able to return to the camp with more food once they have eaten enough.

Of course, some foods such as fruits that cannot be stored for a long time are difficult to preserve. The more you collect, the more useless it is.

"This is the decision of the tribe, and all food must be distributed in the camp." The old man reminded the leader of Lytton that it was the tribal leader's decision to restrain them from eating alone during the gathering process.

"It seems that this era is still in the middle stage of primitive society, and the concept of communal ownership of tribal property is deeply rooted in the body of every member of the tribe." Lytton thought thoughtfully that the emergence of private property was the source of social progress.

"Chief, ......"

The old man looked at Litton secretly with trepidation, and when he saw that Litton did not speak, he thought that the leader had seen through their cattiness, and his legs and stomachs began to tremble.

"Hmm!" Litton abruptly came back from his thoughts, thought for a moment, and said, "In some seasons, you can't find much food to eat when you go through the deep forest, but in some seasons the food in the forest can only rot on the trees. Now is the season of the most fruits, and I will allow you to come back with your fill of food for the rest of the gathering. ”

"Chief, it's true!"

The old man thought he had misheard, and looked at Lytton with wide eyes, his eyes looking expectantly, obviously hoping that Lytton would repeat the decision he had just made.

Litton smiled dumbly, then nodded, "That's right, you can bring the collected fruits back to the tribe when you are full of fruits." ”

"Chief, your kindness shines on the earth like the sun's rays......" The old man choked up as he spoke, and muttered as he lowered his head, "The old man is already a dying man, and he doesn't care if he takes more or less, but the children and women who participate in the gathering work are all the future of the tribe." On their behalf, I thank you for your kindness. ”

Li Dun hurriedly supported the other party, his eyes crossed the faces of every tribe member who participated in the collection, and his heart couldn't help but be ecstatic, and said secretly: "This is really a lost harvest of mulberry elms, but I changed the unreasonable system of a tribe, but I didn't expect to subdue the hearts of more than half of the tribe's population." ”

His confidence in the future of the entire tribe has increased a few points.

Huh-

Suddenly, Litton saw a group of people coming in the distance, and he was surprised, and said secretly: "Why are they coming back too?" ”
