Chapter 16 Infinite Distance
Lin Yuan and his party ran back to the cave with the blade.
The troubles in the tribe that the blade talked about were playing out in the cave hall at this time.
From a distance, I saw two groups of people scuffling together, and there were about 20 people on both sides together, and they were fighting inextricably.
"The Flame King is on !!" The blade shouted a few times, and the sound of the middle breath echoed through the cave.
The people who were scuffling together immediately stopped and looked at Lin Yuan in horror one by one.
Lin Yuan looked around majestically at the local primitive people who were stunned, their faces and hands were full of scratches and bite marks, and they were embarrassed.
"What happened? What are you doing?? Lin Yuan asked angrily, in this primitive society full of dangers, there was actually civil strife in the tribe, which was simply unforgivable.
"King Yan, they, the black clan, grab the food! Our! A little boy who came out of nowhere complained to Lin Yuan angrily while wiping his nosebleed.
Lin Yuan was taken aback, it wasn't that he was grabbing food, but that such words actually came out of a little boy's mouth.
"Huh...... The remnants of the Zhu Dan clan, nonsense! Cut your tongue! On the other side, an old woman in the age of memorial scolded viciously with the support of a group of primitive people.
Lin Yuan frowned, it was obvious that this infighting was caused by these two people, who should have belonged to different tribes before.
"Nonsense, you black clan are the remnants!" A hunchbacked old man on the boy's side yelled back.
"Quiet!" Lin Yuan stretched out his hand, and suddenly, there was silence in the cave, and many primitive people who were working outside walked in one after another, everyone was waiting for Lin Yuan to make a fair verdict.
"Say it one by one, you say it first!" Lin Yuan pointed at the little boy, and he suddenly found that this little boy was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything.
"I," the little boy pointed to his nose, and it was obvious that it was still difficult for a boy from a primitive society to express his thoughts completely.
After thinking about the wording for a long time, the little boy continued:
"At dawn, I hunted birds and wanted to give them to the three chiefs to eat...... The little boy found Qiao Jing in the crowd, he wiped the nosebleed that was beaten by someone, and smiled at Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing suddenly ran over, picked up the little boy, and wiped the stains off his face with some distress.
"This kid seems to be one of the orphans who has been listening to Qiao Jing's lectures." Anna stood behind Lin Yuan at some point and explained in a low voice.
"Hmm......" Lin Yuan nodded, he lowered his head and asked the little boy seriously:
"You hit the bird? What about birds? ”
This is Lin Yuan's biggest question at present, you know, even the best hunter can only dig out a bird's egg and catch a flightless wild duck or something, if you want to hit a flying bird with a stone spear, it is simply a fantasy, not to mention that this is still a little boy.
So the only explanation is that the little boy lied.
But here, in front of everyone, Lin Yuan had to be careful to ensure that this matter was resolved fairly and justly.
Because the duty of a leader also includes being a fair judge.
The little boy broke free from Qiao Jing's embrace, and he ran into the crowd, and after a while, he was holding the carcass of a bird wrapped in leaves, which looked a little like a wild goose or something.
Lin Yuan frowned, this was obviously not a flightless animal like a wild duck, but a big bird that could fly in the air, and it was impossible for the stone spear to hit it.
Seeing Lin Yuan frowning, the old woman of the black clan was a little happy, and she said:
"Nonsense, can a child kill a heavenly beast? It was clearly that I had been casting a spell all night praying for food from the Dark Emperor of the Heavenly Heavens, and it fell on my head at that time......"
The crowd suddenly began to discuss:
"That's it...... I see it...... It fell on the head of the black mother-in-law......"
The little boy's face turned red, and he shouted angrily:
"That's what I knocked out! Vulcan is proof! ”
Lin Yuan was a little strange, how could this little kid beat down the wild goose, he lowered his voice and said:
"Child, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense, I just beat it!"
Lin Yuan looked at Qiao Jing, and Qiao Jing shrugged helplessly.
Lin Yuan had no choice but to say to the little boy's words:
"Good! Then tell me, how did you get down? With a stone spear? Or a stone dagger? ”
The little boy fumbled around his waist for a moment, then pulled out something and held it above his head.
"This is it!"
Lin Yuan was stunned for an instant, it turned out that the little boy took out nothing else, it was the slingshot he had seen in Qiao Jing's class before, and this little boy was none other than the boy that day.
No wonder Lin Yuan felt familiar.
"Are you...... Shot down with a slingshot? Lin Yuan said in surprise.
The little boy nodded, Lin Yuan hurriedly took the wild goose in his hand, groped back and forth on the corpse with his hand, and after a while, in the eyes of the wild goose, he found a stone as small as a melon seed.
It became clear that the wild goose was indeed shot down by a young boy.
"Well, what's your name?" Lin Yuan squatted down and asked softly.
The little boy rubbed his nose, not knowing for a moment how to answer, and after a while, said:
"I ...... No name. ”
Qiao Jing hurriedly walked over and whispered:
"King Yan, when we found him among the captives, he was the only one, because their tribe has a tradition of naming him when he was 16 years old, so his parents shouldn't have had time to name him yet."
"Do you know your parents' names?" Lin Yuan asked, he decided that it was necessary to give this little boy a name, he was indeed not ordinary, he could actually shoot birds in the air with a slingshot, and he could kill with one hit.
"Mother, Yi"
The little boy said briefly, his face expressionless.
Lin Yuan pondered for a while, and then said:
"Well, since you are the queen of the Yi family, then call you the queen Yi!"
Then he stood up, held the dead geese high with his hands, made sure that everyone could see the scars on the geese, and then said in a loud voice:
"Things are clear! Everyone listened, Dayan was shot by Hou Yi with a slingshot, it was not a black wizard's spell at all, and it fell on her head, which was really an accident! Did you hear me clearly? ”
The voices of surprise were endless.
The Zhu Dan tribe to which Hou Yi belonged was elated, while the Hei tribe was lifeless.
"It's not over yet! This is the problem of the ownership of the prey, it has been solved, and below, it is you who gather to fight privately!! “
Lin Yuan shouted loudly.
"From the day my Yan clan was founded! You only have one race, the Chinese, no longer distinguish the previous tribes, you are a family! Whatever happens, take care of each other! That's what I used to say, do you remember? ”
Everyone nodded.
"Blade, listen to orders!"
Lin Yuan roared.
"I order you to be in charge of overseeing all those involved in the brawl and send out all those involved in the brawl out to cut wood for a day today, and not to eat until sunset!"
"Yes!"
Blade Shen agreed.
"As for you, Dark Witch." Lin Yuan looked at the old woman who had wished for Yi before and said:
"You are bewitching the people in my Yan territory, indiscriminately using witchcraft, and deceiving the members of the Yan tribe, I will punish you for not eating meat for a month, you can only rely on wild fruits to fill your stomach, and in addition, you will be deprived of your status as a witch, and you will not be allowed to cast spells from now on! That's it, disbanded! ”
The black witch was pulled away by the blade's men with a painful expression, and the other tribesmen let out a sound of admiration.
Lin Yuan made a notarized ruling, which convinced them.
"That's right, Hou Yi, you can stay for a while."
Lin Yuan called the little boy to the corner of the cave, and he said with a smile:
"Can you show me a little more with a slingshot?"
Hou Yi nodded, only to see him pick up a stone from the ground at random, put it on the beef tendon of the slingshot, aim, hold his breath, and then fire.
With a "snap", the barbecue grill in the fire pit broke in response, and the prey that was hanging in the barbecue fell to the ground.
"Good archery!" Lin Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, such a young child can be so powerful, how good it is when he grows up.
He picked up the slingshot in the boy's hand and examined it for a moment.
"What kind of tree is this wood?"
Lin Yuan asked, the wood on the slingshot was hard to the touch, but it was extremely elastic, it was simply the perfect material to use to make a slingshot.
"White beech, there's one in the woods around here."
"Very good, very good! Very good! ”
Lin Yuan nodded happily.
Then he picked up a branch, drew a few strokes on the ground, and asked:
"Hou Yi, you see, if you can find a longer white beech wood, make it into this shape, and then tie the boar tendons here, right here, tighten, put the stone here, use it as a slingshot, what do you think?"
Lin Yuan drew a sketch of a longbow on the ground, half as tall as an adult.
As if he had found a toy, the little boy lay on the ground and looked carefully, and for a while he looked at it, and then he gestured with his hand in the air, and after a long time, he raised his head and said:
"This ...... I've never seen it, it's so powerful, it turns out that a slingshot can do this. ”
Lin Yuan smiled and said:
"This thing is called a bow, you take a closer look at it, memorize it completely in your head, this way, can you do it?"
The little boy nodded earnestly, and it could be seen that he was very interested in this thing.
"Very well, I have a very important task for you."
Lin Yuan said solemnly.
"I want you to follow the hunter uncles, go to the woods to look for this white beech wood, the more the better, cut it down, bring it back, and then go to the second chief Anna, she has a lot of wild boar tendons there......"
Lin Yuan was satisfied to see that the little boy nodded vigorously, and he continued:
"Then, you are responsible for instructing the workers to make a longbow according to this figure, this is my sketch, you can do it according to your ideas, trust your instincts, you do it with the feeling you feel when you use the slingshot, I only have one request, to make something with a strong bowstring, a great power, can you do it?"
"Hou Yi can!"
Lin Yuan waved his hand, calling the blade that had been standing aside.
"Go, pick the 5 most experienced hunters, in the next 5 days, follow Hou Yi, listen to his orders, meet his requirements, and there must be no mistakes."
"Yes!"
Blade replied decisively and simply.
He didn't hesitate, although he sometimes considered Lin Yuan's orders, but no matter what, he would absolutely obey and carry it out.
This is also what Lin Yuan is most satisfied with him, sometimes, Lin Yuan can even find some military qualities on the body of the blade.
Soon after the blade left with Hou Yi, Anna quietly sat next to Lin Yuan and said quietly:
"I've found that as long as you're there, the tribe ...... This primitive and wild world is becoming more and more at home......"
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, looked at Anna's beautiful big eyes, and said:
"This is just the first step in our adventure, remember the wild fruit seeds I asked you to collect, right? Now that the seeds have been sown, when they sprout and grow, if we can find food that has been grown for a long time, then we can develop further and leave this mountain. ”
Anna nodded as if she didn't understand, she looked at Lin Yuan's side face with some obsession, what Lin Yuan wanted to express didn't seem to be so important, the future, civilization, crossing, she didn't want to think about those things anymore, at this moment, she just wanted to stay with Lin Yuan like this...... Know that time stands still......
"Hahaha!" A strange laugh suddenly came from behind them, startling the two traversers.
Qiao Jing came out of nowhere naughtyly, she put her arms around Lin Yuan with one hand and Anna with the other, and said happily:
"Hee-hee-hee-hee...... Brother Lin Yuan is so powerful, so good, I was still worried about the children just now, right...... Brother Lin Yuan, what did you name that little friend......
"Hou Yi." Lin Yuan and Anna said in unison, and Qiao Jing was suddenly stunned.
"Hou Yi?"
The three traversers were suddenly stunned.
"Hou Yi ???"
