Chapter 2: The First Night
The female leader compromised, but the deer was worried about Long Qiupeng on the other side, he walked over, looked at Long Qiupeng pitifully, and pointed to Long Qiupeng at the wounded and children. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info it was getting late, since the other party proposed reconciliation, Long Qiupeng didn't want to pursue it too much, after all, it is not a joke to enter the forest at night. He patted the deer on the shoulder to reassure him.
However, under the reminder of the deer, Long Qiupeng began to notice this tribe, except for the half-grown children like the woman and the deer, the only few men were lying in the wounded area. There was no decent food as far as the eye could see, and the clothes and tools were rudimentary.
At first, he judged that the tribe should be after the Neolithic period based on the appearance of these people, but the technological level of this tribe was at best the middle of the Paleolithic period, and it did not even have fine grinding stones and composite tools. If such a "poor and weak" tribe is allowed to develop, I am afraid that it is not far from extinction.
Long Qiupeng felt as if he was playing 60 copies, but he was randomly grouped into a level 30 team, but since it was bound, then let it be.
He put away the dagger and had the boar carried away. The deer was happy, but the female leader standing in the distance still looked cold.
Several women came over, and they lifted the boar, presumably intending to clean up the night. In matrilineal clan communes, women tend to have a higher status than men, but these women are not as arrogant as female leaders, but show respect and respect to Long Qiupeng in a playful manner, which makes the tense Long Qiupeng relax a little.
The boar was peeled, and the "cook" cut the fatty part into pieces, but the female chief did not eat the best part herself, but gave it to the new mother, and then gave the second best part to the wounded. It can be seen that in this tribe, the status of the leader is actually linked to the ability to work, so the leader is not an elderly woman, but a young woman who is in her right age and has no pressure to give birth, so correspondingly, her status in the tribe is not the highest, but she is still the core of the tribe's rights, and everything must be subject to her arrangement.
As a wild boar hunter, Long Qiupeng naturally got a large piece of good pork, but the stomach cramps caused by high tension made him have no appetite for the time being. He fetches a few large leaves, wraps the meat, and puts it away, intending to rest for a while.
However, during the break, he was once again subjected to malice from the female chief. In the autumn of the primeval forest, the sun has not yet completely wested, but the temperature has begun to drop, Long Qiupeng planned to enter the cave to find a place to rest, but was stopped by the female leader at the entrance of the cave.
The female leader looked at Long Qiupeng arrogantly, looking sacrosanct, but in Long Qiupeng's opinion, it was a little ridiculous, is this to unload the mill and kill the donkey? But the other party is a woman after all, and Long Qiupeng can't do it anyway. He didn't bother to be angry with the female leader, so he found a dry and flat place at the entrance of the cave and sat down against the rock wall.
The sun is sinking below the horizon, the long night is approaching, and most of the primitives who have sunset have returned to their caves, ready to end their day. Seeing that Long Qiupeng had no intention of entering the cave, the female leader stopped guarding Long Qiupeng, turned around and walked towards the depths of the cave.
However, Long Qiupeng still underestimated the night in the primeval deep forest, the wind at the mouth of the cave, and the cool breeze continued to blow into his clothes, taking away his body temperature. Of course, this kind of weather will not make him freeze to death, but the low temperature and weakness are likely to make him sick.
"Dragon! Dragon! "It's the voice of the deer, and he's guarding the only fire for the tribe.
Long Qiupeng walked over, and the deer pointed to the bonfire and said, "Fire." Then there was a thunderclapping and booming sound. Long Qiupeng knew that this tribe still used natural fire, so once the fire was obtained, they had to send people to guard it day and night to prevent it from being extinguished.
Leaning against the campfire, Long Qiupeng gradually felt warm, and his spirit began to improve. At this time, the deer picked up some unknown thatch from the corner and put it in its mouth. He chewed hard, then found another leaf, spit on it, gently rubbed it flat, he took Long Qiupeng's hand, and then pressed the leaf against the wound.
Long Qiupeng's first reaction was a little nauseous, but soon, some sand pain wounds felt a cool comfort, and he began to take the thatch and chew it himself.
Although this tribe is backward in many aspects than he expected, it is much more powerful than he imagined in the use of herbs, and perhaps this is the magic weapon of this tribe to survive to this day. For the first time, he felt that it was not a bad thing to be able to farm a copy with such a healing team.
"What about men?" Long Qiupeng pointed to himself, to the deer, and to the wounded, he felt that although the matrilineal clan society was dominated by women, it did not mean that there were no men in the daughter country, otherwise the problem of reproduction would never be solved, and the tribe itself would perish without others.
The deer thought for a moment and understood what he meant. He pointed to the wounded and gestured. Long Qiupeng quickly understood what the deer meant, war developed here, and many of the men died in battle.
Long Qiupeng didn't even have time to sigh that it was not easy to survive, and the deer suddenly stood up in surprise and looked in the direction of the forest. Later, several people at the entrance of the cave also woke up in panic. Long Qiupeng was much worse than these primitive people in this aspect, but his experience during the day told him that there must be something hidden in the grass not far away, and it was probably a wild animal.
At first, he was not sure, after all, there were people living in the cave, and there was a fire at the mouth of the cave, so ordinary wild animals did not dare to approach. But when his eyes fell on the wild boar, he had an answer in his heart.
This tribe rarely handles such large beasts, and the blood and flesh are left there at will, without any treatment, lest the animals that have gone out to forage will find this place by following the taste.
Nervous and angry, the deer picked up the stone axe and let out a low animal-like roar in its throat. Immediately, the rest of the tribe also made defensive or offensive moves. The newborn babies seemed to feel the tension in the air and began to cry, and the mothers, fearing that crying would lead to disaster, went into the depths of the cave.
At this time the female leader also woke up, and she came to the entrance of the cave with her cane, and she said something to the deer, and then hugged him, as if she was parting with life and death. At this time, only Long Qiupeng, who had a calm face, looked a little out of place in the crowd.
Suddenly, two green lights appeared in the grass, and then more and more green eyes appeared in the dark night. It's the wolves, they still show some fear in the face of the crowd with tinder, but a whole piece of pork is too tempting for them, and in the value system of the beast, it is worth their risk, so they tentatively approach this side a little bit.
Long Qiupeng had already held the short knife in his hand, but he had no intention of attacking. The wolf itself is not particularly high, and it is not the most dangerous wild animal, so it is necessary to deal with it carefully.
However, he forgot that the primitive people behind him were also a group of beasts in a sense, and they would lose their minds in the face of food fights. While he was still weighing the pros and cons, the deer suddenly rushed out of his side, and then wheeled the stone axe out. He was followed by a few children about his age, who seemed to want to fight the wolves to the death. The stone axe smashed heavily between the wolf and the pork, and the wolves were enraged, either roaring or howling, and the deer, with the half-grown children, also showed the appearance of swearing to defend the food, and yelled at the wolves, and the fighting spirit was high.
Long Qiupeng broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this situation, wolves are different from other animals and wild animals, they have strong group characteristics, if a wolf is caught or injured, they will gather to attack and retaliate against humans. From a distance, if a wolf pack of this size really wants to fight with the tribe, I am afraid that it will not be long before this tribe will disappear from the earth, and the escalation of the conflict must be prevented.
Ignoring the female leader's stops and roars, he quickly took out a few torches from the campfire and jumped to the deer in three or two steps. Seeing that the deer was about to rush out and fight the wolf to the death, he quickly wrapped his left hand around the deer's still thin body, and threw a torch out with his right hand.
The firelight drew a graceful arc from the air and landed in front of the head wolf, and the momentum of the wolves was dispersed by the sudden firelight, and several wolves who rushed in front jumped back a few steps with their tails between their legs, and let out a howling and grieving sound.
After a while, a wolf behind him leaned forward again, Long Qiupeng pointed the torch in his hand at them and shook it, and the deer did the same, and the bright fire stopped the wolves from continuing to attack.
Long Qiupeng held the torch and took a few steps forward, while the wolves cautiously retreated a few steps. But even if he has the upper hand in momentum, he is still very cautious, and there is still a saying among sane humans that "poor people don't chase", not to mention that the other party is a group of brutes.
Just as the two sides were confronted, a wolf rushed out and took the pork away. The deer was a little excited, and raised his legs to chase, but was stopped by Long Qiupeng. The wolves got the advantage and did not dare to fight, and quickly retreated into the night and disappeared.
The wolves took away the remaining pork, but the fate of the tribe circled on the line of life and death and returned to the right track, Long Qiupeng subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his head and said to the deer: "Go back." ”
Only then did he realize that in fact, the deer were completely in a strong spirit, and after the wolves left, the deer sat down on the ground with a pale face. Some of the children in the back have already burst into tears.
Back in the cave, many people were huddled in the corners of the cave shivering. The female leader ignored all this and yelled at Long Qiupeng, as if blaming him for losing his food. The emotions of the female leader infected many people, and loss and despair appeared on everyone's face.
