Chapter 2 Is There Water in the Mountains?
When they came to the gate of the tribe, there were already a lot of people gathered here, and Lin Luo's eyes swept around.
These tribesmen were either dressed in animal skins or thatched skirts, and although they were all dirty, their appearance did not have too obvious ape-like features, and they did not look much different from modern humans.
Such a result made Lin Luo breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, if he couldn't find a way to go back to the original world, he might have to stay in this original world for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to live in front of a group of apes all day long.
"Look, the water team is here!"
Soon, a shout rang out.
Lin Luo followed everyone's gaze and looked into the distance at the entrance of the tribe.
In the distance, a figure that seemed to be carrying something on its back was rushing towards the tribe, and the speed of running was extremely terrifying.
Visually measuring a distance of nearly five hundred meters, the other party only took more than thirty seconds to reach the gate of the tribe.
At this time, everyone could also see clearly that the other party was carrying a seriously wounded warrior.
On the back of the seriously wounded warrior, four bloody claw marks could be clearly seen, and the hideous wound extended from the shoulder blade to the lower waist.
"Chio is dying, go and ask Wu to go down the mountain to heal. ”
The warrior didn't stop in his footsteps, and shouted into the crowd with red eyes.
Hearing this shout, one of the warriors immediately turned and galloped up the hill to ask for a witch, and the others cheered to make way for him.
After the warrior left, everyone looked at the blood dripping from the ground, as if they had been poured a basin of cold water, and instantly fell silent.
It didn't take long for the other fighters of the water team to come back one after another, and everyone looked to be more or less injured.
“...... Seven, eight. ”
A counting sound came into Lin Luo's ears.
Immediately, the crowd of onlookers resounded with sad cries, and everyone's mood was like a roller coaster, from the previous great joy to great sorrow.
"Gu Cao, let's go back!"
Lin Luo sighed slightly, turned his head and said to Gu Cao beside him.
"Oh. ”
Gu Cao nodded in a low mood.
This time, the water fetching team consisted of a total of fifteen soldiers, but now only ten have returned, and one of them is seriously injured and his life and death are uncertain, so it can be said that a third of them were lost at once.
This made Lin Luo, who had not yet fully felt the roughness and wildness of the primitive world, feel its bloodiness and cruelty first.
How long can I live in such a world?
Lin Luo thought to himself with some melancholy.
......
In the evening, news came down from the mountains.
This time, when the water team was collecting water, it was attacked by a fierce beast, and five ordinary warriors were killed, and one totem warrior was seriously injured.
Although the seriously injured totem warrior was healed by Wu and saved his life, he still needed a lot of time to recuperate, and it was estimated that he would not be able to participate in the hunt for a long time.
Totem Warriors!
Thinking of the totem warrior who could still run at an astonishing speed even with the wounded on his back, Lin Luo immediately thought about the information about the totem warrior.
However, the original owner also knew very little about this, only that during the annual great sacrifice, all children in the tribe who reached the age of fourteen would have the opportunity to become totemic warriors.
Thinking of some research on prehistoric tribes in later generations, Lin Luo could probably guess it.
In such a tribal era of totem worship, most of the so-called totem warriors selected some strong children and painted totems on them with some paint.
Then, let the witch who plays the role of the god stick brainwash and say something like this is the power of the gods.
Looking at his current thin body, Lin Luo felt that it was a bit choking to even choose an ordinary warrior, let alone a totem warrior.
However, the people of this primitive era are really fierce enough!
If you can run so fast with a person on your back, if you go to the Olympics in the next generation, you can properly throw Bolt out of eighteen streets!
Afterworld?
Thinking of this, Lin Luo looked up at the sky with a bitter face.
There, as the sun goes down, the two bright moons are gradually becoming clear.
It was as if to tell him the cruel truth that this was no longer the earth he was familiar with.
......
Following
Early in the morning, Lin Luo couldn't wait to get up and walk out of the bamboo house.
The smell in this bamboo house is really bad, and there are fleas and other insects in the hay spread on the ground, which made Lin Luo toss and turn last night and fell asleep very late.
With a big yawn, Lin Luo scratched his body with some irritability, and scratched his hair like a chicken nest.
Don't think about it, he must also have a lot of fleas on his body at this moment, which makes Lin Luo really eager to take a shower.
However, this is obviously just a luxury for him now.
Looking left and right, everyone else hadn't gotten up yet, and looked up at the sun that was already hanging high in the sky and beginning to scorch the earth, Lin Luo reluctantly retreated to the bamboo house.
From memory, Lin Luo has analyzed that this bamboo tribe should be in the temperate zone, where the seasons are distinct, and there are obvious four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
However, contrary to the earthly sayings, primitive man divided the four seasons into the birth season, the summer season, the dry season, and the death season.
The four seasons imply the revival of all things in the growing season, the hot weather in the summer season, the withering of plants and trees in the dry season, and the silence and cold in the dead season.
Moreover, the planet should rotate much slower than the Earth, because he sensed from the memory of the original owner that the day here was longer than the twenty-four hours of the Earth.
Not only that, but the orbit around the stars is also longer, because each season here is more than four months long.
At this time, it was the summer season, and it had not rained for more than two months, and the maximum temperature during the day reached more than 40 degrees.
In such a scorching heat, in addition to the large rivers that still have water, many other small rivers have long since dried up.
Therefore, in order to obtain the necessary water for survival, the tribe will organize water teams to go to the big river to get water in the summer season.
And there, there are terrifying water beasts in the river, and many thirsty and fierce beasts have gathered on both sides of the riverbank.
Therefore, it is no less dangerous than hunting.
Yesterday's heavy losses for the water fetching team are undoubtedly proof of this.
"Luo, you woke up so early!"
While Lin Luo's thoughts were wandering, Gu Cao also sat up sleepily.
Looking at Lin Luo, who was sitting at the door in a daze, he looked a little surprised.
After all, Lin Luo was very unusually holding the hay last night, running outside the house and falling and beating, and didn't go to bed until late.
"Hmm. ”
Lin Luo nodded in response, then crawled to Gu Cao's side and asked him, "Gu Cao, where did you get your water yesterday?"
The defeat of the water fetching team yesterday means that it is very likely that there will be no water today, and it has just crossed into this world, and Lin Luo doesn't want to end up dying of thirst like this.
"From the mountains. ”
Hearing Lin Luo's inquiry, Gu Cao immediately replied.
"There's water in the mountains?"
Hearing this, Lin Luo's eyes suddenly lit up.
