I saw that at the top of the hill, there was a large flat stone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info a black giant snake, just winding and hovering there. And that stone has been shiny with the smoothness of the serpent's disk.

This giant snake is not ordinarily big, the whole length is more than ten meters long, and the specific length is difficult to judge due to the bending and coiling of the body. The black body is as thick as a bucket. Although the body is thick, it does not look fat, but gives people a very slender and slender sense of immediacy. Dressed in black scale armor, it sparkles in the sunlight and is oily and smooth, making people know that its body is very healthy at a glance. This guy seems to be sleeping, and as he breathes, his body is constantly expanding and contracting, although he is motionless, it makes people feel like they are in the air.

Tang Ge had never seen such a shocking scene. The big snake was not uncommon in the zoo in his previous life, but he had never seen such a huge one, and how could that kind of domesticated guy compare to such a wild beast. This snake just lies there napping and basking in the sun, which can give people a sense of majesty and inviolability. If you fight with all your might, I don't know how loud it will be.

Tang Ge's legs and stomach trembled even more, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he lowered his voice and sighed: "What a big long worm." ”

Hearing this, Dashi said, "It's not a long worm, you take a closer look." Look at its head. ”

Tang Ge took a closer look, and couldn't help but take a cool breath with a "hiss", and cold sweat instantly covered his body.

I saw that on the triangular head of the big snake, there were two small black horns, short and thick, very similar to the antlers, surrounded by a circle of muscles, obliquely inserted to the back, although the two snake horns were small, but the head of the big snake set off the unusually domineering and arrogant.

The snake and the snake horns were both dark colors, so Tang Ge was only amazed when he saw the giant snake at first glance, but he didn't even notice these small horns! The snake has horns on its head, or is it antler-shaped, is this Nima going to turn into a dragon? Seeing this situation, Tang Ge felt that he was stammering when he spoke, and stumbled and asked, "This is... This is... What is this? Dragon!? ”

Seeing this, Dashi patted Tang Ge's back as comfort, and whispered to Tang Ge: "Dragon? This is Jiao! Let me tell you, generally large snakes are not poisonous, and the bigger they are, the less likely they are to be poisonous. But this guy is different, it is said that his fangs are so long." As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and gestured a distance of more than a foot. Then he said, "This guy is so powerful, if he bites him, he can even put a mammoth." Even if you just scratch a little skin, you won't survive. When I first started following the hunting party, I once encountered a dead bison with no other wounds except for two small holes in its body, and the blood all over its body was sucked dry, and the elders of the hunting party said that this black dragon had done it. Although the Black Jiao is not the strongest beast around, its fangs make all the beasts fearful, so the powerful beasts around it will not come to provoke it. And our tribe is on its turf, near the edge. ”

Tang Ge was still immersed in the shock brought to him by the snake horn, and when he heard this, he asked, "It's so close to us, won't it come to attack us?" ”

Dashi said: "It rarely attacks the people in the tribe, otherwise our tribe would not dare to settle on its territory. It's just that if you don't provoke it in the wild, it won't pay attention to you. ”

Tang Ge felt very strange and asked, "Why?" “

Da Shi thought for a while, and said seriously: "Maybe we have too little blood on our bodies, not enough for him to drink." So he didn't bother to touch us at all. ”

Tang Ge was speechless for a moment. The cognition of primitive man can always scorch his thunder on the outside and tender on the inside.

Big Stone continued, "Now you know why I didn't let you leave the tribe so early, right? All kinds of dangers in the Great Wilderness are simply what you can imagine. ”

The two of them just crawled on the stone, showing their two heads like groundhogs, and looked at the black Jiao like a voyeur. Heijiao seemed to be really asleep, half-spitting out the letter and motionless for a long time. finally moved, but raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of the two big stones.

When they met the wild golden pupils of the black Jiao, the unstable snake letter, and the aura that looked at the world, Tang Ge was so frightened that he could hardly hold back his urine. Thinking that Heijiao had discovered the two of them and was thinking about whether to escape, who knew that the Heijiao turned his head, twisted his body, changed to a more comfortable position, and continued to nap and sleep. Even its head was turned in the other direction, and it didn't even glance at the two of them, ignoring the two existences that were no different from groundhogs in its eyes.

Tang Ge became more and more fascinated by Heijiao the more he looked at it. In my previous life, I loved to play with snakes when I was a child, but I liked that snakes had an evil temperament. The snake's sinuous coiling, streamlined and perfect body, and strange and graceful swimming posture always had a fatal attraction for him.

The black Jiao in front of him satisfied all his yearning for snakes. Wild eyes, healthy complexion, perfect body like a wild beast, powerful aura, explosive muscles, and that pair of small horns! The serpent has horns! When the legendary things appeared in front of him, the impact and shock on Tang Ge's soul were beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

The big stone patted Tang Ge and signaled that it was time to go. Only then did Tang Ge retract his admiring eyes, and reluctantly climbed down the hill with the big stone.

On the way back, Tang Ge didn't say a word, still immersed in the surprise brought to him by Heijiao. His legs were still shaking, but Tang Ge knew that it was not fear, but excitement. At first glance, seeing this beautiful and majestic creature, Tang Ge didn't know what else could bring him the same feeling in the future.

Da Shi looked at Tang Ge's distracted appearance, and said with a pleased smile: "You are much stronger than me, I remember the first time I saw Heijiao, I was so scared that my legs were weak, and I couldn't even walk." ”

Tang Ge heard this: "Is Black Jiao its name? ”

Big Stone said: "It was the old witch who gave him the name." Black Jiao is also the name of the old witch. ”

Tang Ge said: "Old witch? Is Fat Witch's father? ”

Big Stone nodded.

Tang Ge asked again: "Our tribe is on its territory, don't we usually have to worship it?" For example, feed it or something. ”

Dashi laughed when he heard this, and said in a slightly disdainful tone: "What kind of beast is it that makes people feed?" The black Jiao will hunt whatever it wants, it is the king of this land, as long as it wants anything here, it will never escape, and it doesn't need anyone else to take care of it at all. ”

Tang Ge asked, "Then how can it protect us?" Is it a totem of our tribe? ”

Big Stone said: "It doesn't protect us, we just live on its turf." As long as we don't bother it, our existence doesn't matter to it. If one day we have a conflict with it, it will never be kind to us. We are no different from any other food in his eyes, and it is the same as any other beast in our eyes. Also, you have to remember that our tribe is different from other tribes, we don't have totems. ”

Tang Ge was a little confused about the values of the tribesmen. It stands to reason that since you have accepted the protection of the black Jiao, you should be grateful to it. It can be seen from the attitude of the big stone that they are not only at ease with the protection and enjoyment of the black Jiao, but also ready to turn their faces against each other at any time. This kind of harmonious coexistence between humans and beasts but maintaining a hostile attitude towards each other was incomprehensible to Tang Ge.

However, compared to the attitude of the tribesmen towards Heijiao, what made Tang Ge more interested was the last sentence of the big stone, there was no totem in the tribe? This is different from the perception in the previous life. Since he couldn't figure it out, he opened his mouth and asked, so Tang Ge said, "Why don't we have a totem?" Isn't every tribe its own totem? ”

Big Stone replied, "It's too complicated to understand. Just remember that we're different from the other tribes in the wasteland. ”

Tang Ge became more and more confused, and asked, "What's so special about our tribe?" ”

But Dashi said impatiently: "You will know about this when you grow up." ”

Seeing that Da Shi didn't mean to continue, Tang Ge stopped asking.

********

It's a long way to go, but a short way back. This is a common feeling among people. When I went, I walked all morning, and it seemed that I had traveled a long, long way, and when I came back, I didn't have to walk long before I got home. Halfway through, Tang Ge dug up a large bundle of wild onions, and the big stone also collected the cover in the morning. Seven traps, three intact, one was triggered but found nothing, the most annoying thing was that one of the traps probably caught some kind of bird, but was picked up by other beasts, the trap was a mess all around, the ground was covered with blood and scattered feathers, just from the wide feathers on the ground, you know that this bird must be not small.

Big rocks don't care, as if this kind of thing is common. Two traps with harvests, one caught a badger, and the other actually caught a large lizard. I don't know what kind of lizard this lizard is, it has grass-green skin, its body is covered with small golden spots, its limbs are very thick, and it is nearly a meter long without a tail. When Da Shi and Tang Ge arrived, the lizard was circling wildly. I don't know what the rope of the trap under the big stone is made of, this lizard has been tossing for a long time, and a large area of grass around it has been tossed and fallen down, and the rope has not been broken.

Seeing the lizard that had fallen into the trap, the big stone didn't say a word, went up and stepped on the lizard's head to hit the neck, and began to bleed. Tang Ge, who was watching, frowned, and said in his heart: "Rare animals! This is definitely a protected animal for the rest of your life, and you will probably go to jail if you catch it. But here it's just a meal! ”

After draining the blood and washing it in the river, the big stone put the lizard on his shoulder and set off again. At this time, it is not far from the Horde. Looking at the hill where the tribe was located, Tang Ge remembered a very important question. "Big Stone, what's the name of our tribe?"

Da Shitou replied without replying: "Our tribe is called the Banpo tribe, and other tribes call us Banpo dolphins." ”

Tang Ge thought about the location of the tribe, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Banpo dolphin, this name is really apt!" ”

Back to the tribe, it was still early, only two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Big Stone was going to the chief's house to send the badger over, and on the way, he had already agreed with Tang Ge to eat the big lizard at night.

Tang Ge asked Dashi for instructions, wanting to go to the spring in the west and plant those wild onions. Da Shi didn't understand the use of Tang Ge's behavior, he didn't have any concept of planting, the only gourd planted in the tribe was still a necessity of life, and wild onions were not rare in the wild, and if they were transplanted to the tribe, they were simply nothing to look for. So he thought that this was a sign that his son's madness was not good, and he didn't dare to stimulate Tang Ge too much. It wasn't a big deal, so it was up to Tang Ge to go.

Tang Ge used a branch to dig a few ditches not far from the waterway, and after watering them thoroughly, he planted the wild onions neatly. The choice to plant here is for the convenience of watering later. When digging the ditch, Tang Ge was very emotional, in this era when there was no agricultural tools and metal, and he didn't know how the caves in the tribe were made.

Looking at the neat wild onions, Tang Ge felt a sense of accomplishment. He swore to his first field, "There will be bread, there will be milk." Grains and vegetables will also be greatly available in the future! After swearing that he didn't think it was safe to leave the wild onion like this, he went around collecting branches and tying them up densely in his vegetable patch. Originally, I wanted to build a fence, but then I thought that the people in the tribe would not understand the meaning of the fence, so I arranged the sticks neatly and tied the upper parts of every four sticks together, like a small tent. Tang Ge looked at it and thought it was very good, with these things, others would know that these wild onions were owned and protected as long as they looked at them, so naturally no one would move around.

When Tang Ge was working, the big stone came over to take a look. Although I didn't know what he was doing, I didn't bother, and I was relieved to go back when I saw that he was okay.

When Tang Ge finishes everything, it's not too early. At the end of the day, he was not idle, and he was so tired that his back hurt and his stomach was still hungry, so he went home and prepared to eat.

The lizard meat at night tastes good, at least much better than rabbit meat. After passing the belly, the two didn't talk much and went to bed separately.

This night, Tang Ge dreamed of Heijiao. In the dream, he and the black Jiao ran like the wind together, galloping across the wasteland, looking in all directions, and the beasts in front of them to show their respect, which felt very cool.

When he woke up in the morning, Tang Ge was still reminiscing about last night's dream. In his previous life, he threw himself on his son, and he was short of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar all day long, and he didn't even dream. But now......

"How long has it been since I had this feeling of indulgence? Primitive society, it's good... ”
