On the first night of coming to the primitive society, Tao Yi fell asleep in thought, she didn't know what happened before, but the man as a strong labor force stayed in the cave during the day, and was allocated very little food, it is foreseeable that it will be difficult to rely on the tribe to survive in the future, she must think of a way to increase food, otherwise if this continues, she and the baby will not be far from starvation.

The next day, Peach Misty woke up to find that the man was gone. She was covered with a tattered hide, and the smell of the hide made her sick to her stomach early in the morning. The baby slept restlessly next to him, his little fist clenched tightly, and his small mouth made a sucking motion.

Yesterday, the big-bellied woman came over to find Tao Miao, Tao Miao already knew that she was her neighbor, and looking at her closeness to herself, she guessed that this woman was probably a good friend of the original body.

Visibility in the cave was a little better during the day than at night, and Peach Misty quickly remembered the faces of her neighbors. This is not an easy task, people in primitive societies rarely have the habit of washing their faces and brushing their teeth, men let their beards grow wildly, women have unkempt hair, everyone has a black face, and it is impossible to distinguish between men and women without looking somewhere below the neck. Peach can only be remembered according to characteristics, such as yesterday's totemic woman who looked like a leader, and the women would talk around her and then do things according to her instructions.

The pot-bellied woman is the best friend of the original, has a dimple when she laughs, and she wears a pierced shell in her left hand.

"What's your name?" Peach Ethereal tried to communicate with her, but the other party winked childishly and looked at Peach Ethereal in confusion.

"Forget it, you don't understand it anyway." Tao Yi sighed, pointed to herself, and said, "Tao Yiyi." ”

"Tao...... Meow meow? The pot-bellied woman repeated.

"Peachy." Over and over again, Peach Misty repeats itself tirelessly.

"Momo...... Ethereal. The other party was finally able to make the right sound, and Tao Miao hugged the big-bellied woman excitedly.

The big-bellied woman happily learned to look like a peach and pointed at herself, "Grunt." ”

“……”

The pronunciation sounded like a waterhole, and Tao Miao directly called her "water pool", but she didn't expect the woman to respond happily, so Tao Miao planned to call her a water hole in the future.

She was the only one in the house in Waterhole, and her man didn't come back last night.

People in primitive societies often encounter the situation that they chase their prey too far and cannot return to the tribe for the night, and the man in the waterhole is also a hunter of the hunting team, but he belongs to another team and did not come back last night. Yesterday, she found out that there were no men in several families, only women and children.

With the passage of time, Tao Miao has been living in this primitive tribe for more than a month. The man came back every two or three days, bringing back some rabbits, mountain rats and other small animals, as well as unknown plant fruits, and he was always alone, and he couldn't help but think of the lone wolf in the documentary he had watched before.

Peach has taught men to call her by her name, but men only call her every time: "Miscellaneous." ”

He said pitifully little.

However, Peach Miao didn't go hungry much, and the food that the man brought back was fresh every time. She learned from the waterhole how to make fire and cook meat in clay pots, how to pluck and skin animals, and how to divide them into small pieces with a stone knife. When she was full, the baby had plenty of milk to drink, and she was chubby, waving her arms like lotus roots, like a little warrior.

Shuitan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and with a professional eye, it is estimated that she will give birth in the next two days. Waterhole's mood began to become unstable, and Tao Miao often saw her in a daze, sometimes silently crying.

The men of the waterhole returned to the cave one evening, and they brought back a rich harvest, and unlike the giant beasts of the past, they brought back many small antelopes, almost all of whom carried prey on their shoulders. The leader handed it to the chief, the man who was in charge of dividing the meat that day, a small bag of things wrapped in animal skins, which the leader licked, and smiled so hard that his eyes were hidden in his beard.

Peach thought it might be salt.

Because she found that the diet in the tribe was very simple, everyone wanted not to waste a drop of prey blood. The waterhole said that blood is a gift from God, and only those who drink it have strength. In fact, it is because animal blood contains trace elements needed by the human body, as well as sodium, that is, salt. The people of this tribe rarely eat salt, and no one has seen the production process of salt, thinking that salt is a gift from God to other tribes, just as God has given them this cave to live in.

The salt in the tribe is bought by hunting squads from other tribes, and it comes at a high price. Only the chief's family and tribal elders were eligible to eat salt.

Tao Miao felt that what she had to do in the future was to find salt. But she only knew how to refine sea salt by evaporating seawater, and she didn't know how far the tribe was from the ocean.

For more than a month, Tao Yi has not tried to get out of the cave. Whenever she walked to the mouth of the cave, several women would pull her back. They were talking eagerly, but Tao Miao couldn't understand it, she gestured and said that she wanted to go out for a walk, but the other party didn't understand what she meant at all, and still pulled her back. The woman with the totem on her body still yelled at her fiercely, and she was extremely confused, but her body was not as strong and powerful as those women who worked every day, and it was useless to resist.

At night, Peach was woken up by a cry of pain. She got up and saw a few people around next door, her husband holding the pool, her face was pale and her breathing was weak. Tao Yi judged that the waterhole might have unfortunately suffered an amniotic fluid embolism. Amniotic fluid embolism is extremely dangerous for pregnant women, it has a low probability of occurrence, but the fatality rate is very high, especially in this primitive society, which is almost 100%.

Tao Yi immediately went to feel the pulse of the water pool, almost couldn't feel the beat, called her name, the water pool did not respond, Tao Yi knew that the person was in shock. She wanted to give Shuitan a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but Shuitan's husband yelled anxiously when he saw her movements, and the onlookers were all angry, and someone even stopped Tao Yi and dragged her away. Seeing that the breathing in the waterhole was about to stop, and Tao Miao was so anxious that tears came out, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness, watching her first friend lose his life in front of her eyes like this, but she couldn't help anything.

The waterhole is dead.

But her belly is still moving, and even though the mother is dead, the fetus is still struggling to survive. Tao Yi couldn't hold back any longer, she broke free from the hand that restrained her, took the stone knife from her house, recalled the knowledge in the anatomy class, found the position, and went under the knife!

The smooth, sharpened stone knife cut through the skin tissue, cut through the muscles, accurately found the location of the uterus, and carried out the fetus that had begun to lack oxygen.

"Wow!" The baby's cry is loud and powerful, and she is a healthy girl.

The crowd was stunned. The husband of the waterhole hugged the corpse of his own woman, looked at the baby in the peach ethereal hand, and let out a cry of sadness and joy. One life ended, but her life was continued, in another way.

Whenever someone dies in the tribe, water burials are held. Relatives and friends covered the deceased with her favorite animal skin, placed it on a huge leaf, and followed the dark river in the cave. It is believed that departed souls will return to the cave and become attendants of the mountain gods.

The husband of the waterhole, or Shusheng, hugged his newborn daughter and watched the waterhole leave with the current. Tao Miao watched this scene with a very complicated mood. Emotionally, she was saddened by the death of her friend and shocked by the farewell ritual of the primitive society. Intellectually, she knew that corpses would contaminate water sources, causing people downstream to become infected with bacteria and parasites, causing epidemics. This tangled mood made her face bitter for the rest of the year. But soon something new diverted her attention.

After Shuitan died, the newborn daughter was held by Shusheng to find the peach, and Shusheng gestured and handed the baby to her. Tao Miao knew that this was to help raise herself. The children in the tribe are basically raised together, Tao Yi has just given birth to a child, is still lactating, and is a best friend in the waterhole, who is Shusheng looking for her? And as a member of the hunting team, Shusheng also has his own responsibilities, so he can only ask Tao Yi when he goes out.

Tao Yi had to accept it.

So when the man returned to the cave two days later and saw that there was an extra baby, he could only smile bitterly and tell him that he would have to get an extra ration in the future.

Tao Yi named the baby girl Meat Bun, and by the way, Meat Bun is also her sister's favorite food. Tao Miao rarely thinks of her sister recently, but when she thinks of the origin of her son's name, she can't help but recall the past, and she named the meat bun in the same way.

The man raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything. It's just that the peach ethereal was eaten clean by him inside and out at night. Strictly speaking, this is the first time for Tao Yiyi, she rubbed her waist and said that the experience was super good, five-star praise.

When she woke up in the morning and found the man still asleep, she suddenly wanted to shave him with a stone knife. After all, everything happened between the two, but he didn't even know what he looked like.

The stone knife shaving was not smooth, and the peach toss for a long time woke up the man. The man looked at her puzzledly, his dark eyes were blank and he looked a little sluggish. Tao Miao was amused by the man's appearance, she shaved while shaking her hands, and the efficiency was improved.

Then she was stunned.

A man without a beard is simply a handsome guy at the level of a national treasure, okay! Deep eyebrows, high nose bridge, resolute chin and thin lips, if you wear a uniform again, I don't know how many young girls will be fascinated. The real appearance can stand the test of primitive people's weed-like hairstyle. For the first time in her two lives, she had close contact with a handsome guy, uh, negative distance contact, and her super-gang appearance made her heart awaken some genes of face control. I really want to give him a monkey! …… Although they have already given birth to one......

This is the first time, and Tao Miao is sincerely grateful for crossing this matter.
