Chapter 11: Suddenly
A few primitive people held rough stone spears and pointed them at Liang Jian, but he was not afraid, compared to the Mongolian knife in his pocket, the stone spear was too dull. However, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and the evil tiger is still afraid of the wolves, and Qin Yue is in their hands, so he doesn't dare to act rashly.
Qin Yue was a little stunned by this series of changes, and he didn't understand how this group of unclothed primitive people appeared. Thinking of the deep scars on the boar's abdomen, he realized that the boar was their prey, but he ran into them on the way to escape.
Is it any wonder that the wild boar just now was desperate to fight them to the death, and to make them a scapegoat?
This group of primitive people is obviously not the same group as before, and their stature is still thin but much taller, especially their strength.
The primitive man who grabbed her had a towering nose, deep-set eyes, and a full beard that obscured his face, and he could barely tell that the primitive natives here had evolved to be no different from modern humans.
And it is very strategic, it can be seen from the silent approach after they sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, she still can't help but complain at such a dangerous moment, have the primitive people here become essences?
The tight shackles on her hands were like hard iron, she couldn't break free, so she could only signal Liang Jian to go first with her eyes.
Liang Jian shook his head in disagreement, he was able to get out, he saw the danger of the cannibals, he didn't dare to risk Qin Yue's safety.
He took a few steps closer, and the remaining primitive natives scolded with fierce faces, muttering something in their mouths, and then took Qin Yue in front of him, and the hard stone was against her delicate neck, oozing blood.
Liang Jian's eyes deepened, he took a few steps back, raised his hands, and signaled that he was not threatened.
Those primitive natives were very jealous of Liang Jian, and had seen him kill fierce beasts with his bare hands, and believed that he was a warrior of a brave and warlike tribe.
You must know that such a fierce beast, they dispatched seven or eight warriors to do nothing.
They were too far away to see the Mongolian knife in Liang Jian's hand, so they thought that he was a fierce beast that he killed with his bare hands.
If Qin Yue knew what they were thinking, he would definitely overturn the conclusion that this group of primitive natives had a strategy.
I saw that the primitive natives led by him said something, and the remaining primitive people took a rope made of bark and tied the hands of the two tightly, especially Liang Jian, who was afraid that he would break free, so he tied it a few more times.
The rest of the men carried the huge boar and escorted them across the flat ground to the canyon between the two peaks.
The canyon is deep and narrow, along the stone wall is a shallow ditch several meters wide, a group of people wade through the ditch, walk through the strange rocky mountain, walk for most of the day, then see a huge cave in the distance, the entrance of the cave is huge, the cave can accommodate hundreds of people.
There is a bonfire burning in the open space in the cave, and a pile of shoddy stone tools is placed next to it, and the people in the cave are gathered in twos and threes, the men are sharpening stone knives and stone axes, and the women are rubbing bark ropes, looking very busy. It's just that there are only a few dozen people living in the big cave, and the whole cave seems empty.
All of them were clothed only with the lower half of their bodies, men and women were naked, their skin was dark and red, and a few others were lying dying on the skins of animals on the ground, each with someone to take care of them, with sad expressions.
Qin Yue looked puzzled, but obviously no one would give her a solution, she only held her questions and observed silently, guessing that these people were afraid that they had a disease, and this frequent situation must be some kind of infectious disease.
In ancient China, a cold would kill people, not to mention the primitive period of lack of food and clothing, lack of hygiene. Such a contagious disease is likely to kill them, Qin Yue wanted to take a look, but the language was not comprehensible.
Instead of taking them back to the cave, the primitive people imprisoned them in a cave ten meters away from the big cave on the opposite side, which was guarded.
In the narrow cave, only Qin Yue and Liang Jian were left.
"I'm afraid there's a plague outbreak here. Qin Yue frowned and took the lead in speaking, "You see that there are several people lying down there, and it seems that the situation is not very good." ”
Liang Jian looked at the big cave opposite thoughtfully, "You're right, if it's a plague, spreading is enough to destroy a tribe, no wonder they are so sparsely populated." “
As he spoke, he suddenly heard a sad wail.
They looked over and saw several people around the man lying there, and one of them, an older woman, wailing, leaning on the man who was lying.
Soon several men in the prime of life carried the primitive man lying on the ground away and walked to the back of the cave, and several people soon returned empty-handed.
The women were still wailing and wailing, and the rest of the primitives were busy with their own work, as if the death had no effect on them. An older man with a feather crown patted the woman's shoulder with a heavy face, and the woman's wailing gradually stopped.
Qin Yue instantly understood, behind the cave was the place to dispose of the corpses, the primitive people had no concept of burial, and it was estimated that they would come back as soon as they threw them away, so the speed was so fast.
This was too hasty and a serious health hazard, as the mouth of their cave was littered with excrement, and she could still smell an unbearable stench ten meters away, which would only allow the virus to grow faster.
The boar was still in the open space at the mouth of the cave, and several men quickly dismembered the boar, and two bonfires were raised at the mouth of the cave, and the boar was roasted on the fire.
A strong smell of barbecue wafted over, and the man guarding the entrance of the cave swallowed sharply. The barbecue was quickly distributed to the clansmen by the older man with the feather crown on his head, and the man at the entrance of the cave glared at the two of them viciously, accusing them of being troublesome and preventing him from eating the barbecue.
After a while, a man from a distance came over with a large piece of barbecue, cut it into several pieces with a stone knife, gave one piece to the man at the entrance of the cave, and threw two more pieces to Qin Yue and them.
The two pieces of barbecue were rolled on the ground and covered with ashes, but even if they weren't stained with ashes, Qin Yue wouldn't eat them, they didn't even clean them, and they didn't even pull out a thick layer of pig hair.
When the man saw that they were not eating, he did not say anything, but turned his head and left, and the man at the entrance of the cave took a big bite on the piece of meat.
Liang Jian stared at his every move, and quietly leaned into Qin Yue's ear, "The knife is in my pocket, you help me take it out and cut the rope." ”
Qin Yue looked overjoyed, nodded again and again, silently moved to Liang Jian's side, and with his two tied hands, he laboriously took out the Mongolian knife from his coat pocket, and cut the bark rope on his wrist little by little.
The man at the entrance of the cave finished his barbecue, looked back at them, and found nothing unusual, so he sat on the rock and snored in his sleep.
Qin Yue exhaled nervously, the two of them were next to each other, and put her hands to the side again, asking Liang Jian to help her cut the rope as well.
"How do we get out?" she whispered.
Although the man at the entrance of the cave was asleep, there were still dozens of people gathered in the main cave directly in front of him, and a few people watched here from time to time, and it was indeed difficult for them to escape while they were unprepared.
