The team walked slowly in the direction of the tribe. As the sun sets, the temperature of the forest plummets. Wang Cang climbed a tall pine tree and looked into the distance. When night approached, the tribe would light the collected wolf dung and smoke it, like a beacon in the harbor, pointing the way for the hunting procession.

Wang Cang saw the pillar of smoke and determined the exact direction. "Hurry up and be sure to get back to the tribe before dark." ”

After speaking, he led the team to set off and trotted all the way forward. The sun had set on the top of the mountain, burning the clouds red. The shadows of the crowd were stretched long, and a few wolf howls and night owls could be heard from the depths of the forest behind them, as if calling for the arrival of night. Give somebody the creeps.

The team stepped up their pace, and under the leadership of Wang Cang, they bypassed the quagmire of the stone pile, and finally returned to the tribe before the last light disappeared.

A large bonfire has been built in the tribe. Looking at the team that came back, everyone was covered with prey, and cheered.

People do their own thing, boiling water for those who boil water, and adding wood for those who add firewood.

Today is a bumper harvest, in addition to wild boars, flower snakes, and countless pheasants and hares left, piled up a lot. That's enough for two days in the tribe.

Tie Niu is talking poorly with his friends. Spit stars flew everywhere, boasting about their heroic performance today.

"I'll tell you, the flower snake hid in the grass, trying to sneak attack Uncle Wang Cang, good guy, you didn't see it, fortunately I was quick to shoot, first threw a stone, this beast dodged, I grabbed my tail and fell to the ground, picked up the stick and killed me. And the wild boar, sleeping in the bushes, I quietly touched it, and guess what, I took the stick in my hand and fell, and I put it down after dividing it by two. ”

The more the iron bull blows, the more powerful he becomes, putting the credit of others on his own head, his face is not red and his heart is not beating.

These little guys are all natives of the tribe, and they have never been out of the tribe gate, and they were stunned by the iron bull, and their faces were full of worship, so they almost knelt down and called the eldest brother.

Tie Niu climbed up the pole and touched the heads of his partners, "Call me big brother in the future, and big brother will take you out to catch wild boars." ”

I was proudly grabbed by a small hand in my ear

"I call you big brother, what do you call me?"

Tie Niu grinned in pain, and the most feared thing in the tribe was He Ting, who was picked up with him, and now called "Ma Niu".

"Sister, sister, sister, I was wrong, my good sister, you raise your noble hand, the little one gives you a good thing, make sure you like it." ”

As he spoke, he took out a handful of bird eggs from his arms, colorful.

There were no rare things in the tribe, and the little guy's head was all squeezed over to stare at the things in the iron bull's hand.

Ma Niu snatched it and grabbed it

"Mine, you are not allowed to rob it. It's a nice thing. ”

"My sister, don't pinch it, it's a bird's egg, and you may be able to hatch a few little finches and roast them in your arms all day long. ”

"Can this little thing turn into a finch? don't bluff me!"

Wang Cang walked over and kicked Tie Niu's buttocks: "You kid, put this braggart and fool people." ”

A group of little guys pestered Wang Cang, and they had to go out to dig out the bird's nest.

Wang Cang angrily caught Tie Niu and beat him.

"You kid, this bad yeast can't be good. "Beat as you talk.

"You little things, whoever can win the Iron Bull will take him out"

Wang Cang's eyes shook, and the little ones were speechless.

Next, Tie Niu suddenly changed from the big brother to a sparring partner, and the little guys formed a ball, grabbing and biting around Tie Niu. The Iron Bull cried bitterly.

After a while, the aroma of barbecue came out. The iron ox, who had been busy all day, was already hungry, leading the children to shout for meat.

Wang Cang moved out of the fruit wine brewed in the tribe, and he usually didn't take it out, but today, in order to celebrate everyone's return, everyone let go and drink it.

A group of people drank wine and ate meat, and there was laughter everywhere.

The iron bull ate two pork legs, two chickens, and two rabbits. I secretly drank two large bowls of fruit wine. The degree of this fruit wine is not high, but Tie Niu drank it for the first time, two bowls of belly, his eyes were blurred, swaying, under the strange eyes of everyone, he fell down on the spot and fell asleep.

The women dressed up the rest of the meat and hung it on the roof. Dry and store. If it rains, you have to live on these dry goods.

In the middle of the night, men and women lay in the tribe. They were all drunk, and they didn't go back to the house, so they fell down and went to sleep. The bonfire was gradually extinguished, and the whole tribe looked extraordinarily peaceful in the night, with the crisp chirping of insects.

It wasn't until the next day that everyone woke up one after another.

Wang Cang got up and saw that it was already half noon, and he couldn't go out hunting when he was so dizzy, so he shouted for everyone to gather in the square.

After a while, everyone arrived, and seventy or eighty people stood in a large area.

Wang Cang shouted at the top of his voice

"I don't hunt today, the old man stays to watch the house, the rest of the people, all go out to collect, the children follow their parents, and those who don't have parents are led by the iron bull, and they are not allowed to enter the depths of the forest. ”

There are no good medical conditions in the tribe, people sometimes go out to hunt and get injured without treatment, some people die of illness due to poor self-healing ability, and women live with other men, resulting in some children without parents and widows, and the primitive tribe is so cruel.

When the children heard that they were going out, they were overjoyed. Jumping up and down shouting "Eggs, eggs, eggs." ”

Wang Cang is also very helpless about this, in fact, he thinks that it may not be a good thing to take the little ones out to let the wind out, always stay in the tribe, it will be difficult to adapt to the environment in the forest in the future, after yesterday's iron bull trouble, he plans to let the little ones out to get close to nature, as long as they do not go to the depths of the forest, there is no danger.

These children are full of yearning for the outside world, and as long as they can go out, they can do anything.

The people took out baskets and animal skin bags, walked out of the tribe gate, and walked towards the edge of the forest.

It's better to follow the parents, a few led by the iron bull, plus the iron bull and the horse girl, a total of nine people, like a wild horse off the leash, scurrying around, seeing everything to go up and touch it, others have begun to pick wild fruits, their baskets have long been lost where to go, crazy everywhere, fortunately, there is the "big brother" of the iron bull to lead the team, there is no big movement.

Nine people, four men and five women, when they saw the bird's nest, they dug it, the women looked at the wind, and the men went up the trees. After digging this out, continue to look for the next one. Provoked a flock of big birds to chirp overhead.

Wang Cang turned a blind eye to them, remembering that it was the same when he was a child, and a few people sneaked out of the tribe to wander outside.

Happy time always flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye it's time to go back.

Wang Cang shouted everywhere to gather, and it took a lot of effort to integrate the team.

Everyone was full of all kinds of wild fruits, but the nine little ones of Tie Niu didn't even have a frame. Everyone's heads were full of flowers, making it look like a chicken nest, which made everyone laugh.

Wang Cang counted the number of people, it took a long time to assemble the team just now, and he saw that the sun was about to set, but fortunately, this time he came out to collect and was not very far from the tribe, and he could arrive soon. He led the team and returned to the tribe.

After closing the gates of the tribe and collecting the fruits of the collection, the women began to get busy, building fires and cooking.

The men sat by the fire and discussed where they would go hunting tomorrow.

As for the children, count today's trophies around the iron bull.

In addition to the accidentally broken ones, there were dozens of bells and whistles and colorful bird eggs.

Those children who followed their parents were empty-handed, and they had to ask for a few. Tie Niu, who is the eldest brother, is not stingy, and gives each of them a few.

"Take good care of it, or you will confiscate it, and see who can become a little finch in the future." Tie Niu looked like a leader and commanded.

The small ones are like treasures in their hands, looking left and right, very rare, I wish I could hatch something immediately to see if it is a phoenix or a golden crow.

The meal was quickly ready, there was no hunting today, the tribe was very frugal, and the bones left over from yesterday were boiled into soup, and everyone had a large bowl, with wild fruits, even if it was to cope with dinner.

After eating, it was still early, and everyone gathered around to listen to the stories told by the old people of the tribe.

Legend has it that there are three beast kings in the forest, who live on the three peaks on the edge of the sky and rule the entire forest.

The Tiger King, the Snake King, and the Eagle King. Whenever there was a shortage of food in the forest, they would go down to the mountains and hunt around, taking us people as prey, and many tribes were eaten up.

Later, many tribes formed alliances to destroy them, but they never returned.

Later, the rain became more abundant, and the animals in the forest also increased, and the three-headed beastmaster no longer went down the mountain to hunt humans.

However, as the resources slowly became abundant, there were more fierce beasts in the forest. The greatest natural enemies of human beings are wolves, bears, and leopards. But fortunately, these beasts come out at night. During the day, humans go hunting in the forest, and they hide in the depths of the forest. At night they came out to forage for food, and the humans hid in the tribe and kept them outside with high walls. The two maintain a delicate balance and enjoy the gifts of nature together. Humans have always been at a disadvantage, and there is no absolute strength to compete with the beasts, but the beasts are threatening humans all the time. Many of the dead people in the tribe inadvertently broke into the territory of the fierce beast and were bitten to death. There are also fierce beasts, surrounded and hunted by humans. There were many wolf skins hanging on the walls of the tribe, which were hunted and then skinned and hung up. It is used to deter wolves that are eyeing the tribe.

。。。。。

These are things that have been passed down from generation to generation.

After listening to the story, people are in awe of the forest.

Iron Bull, on the other hand, clenched his fists. In addition to awe, there is more desire to conquer the forest.

It was not too early, and people went back to their houses, looking forward to the arrival of dawn and a better tomorrow.
