Chapter 57: Overnight in a cave
The bitter cold wind was blowing in the face, and the mountains on both sides of the road were covered with snow, and the jungle was covered in silver and the bare tree trunks were hidden.
In the vast expanse of snow and ice, a string of black dots like ants swirled along the mountainside.
The boundless snow shook so much that his eyes hurt, Qin Yue wrapped the animal skin clothes on his body tightly, exhaled stiffly, and kept following them forward, sometimes looking up at the blue sky to relieve the discomfort in his eyes.
A few hours ago, they took their belongings and followed the people of the Black Wolf tribe all the way to this strange mountain.
Qin Yue stepped into the thick snow, kicked the stones hidden in the snow, and almost fell, the man next to her grabbed her shoulders with his big hand and hugged her into his arms, "I can't walk, I'll carry you." ”
Qin Yue looked up at his smooth chin and shook his head with a smile: "You can walk, I accidentally tripped over a stone just now." ”
This delay caused several people in front of them to be dissatisfied, and the bearded man looked at him unhappily, "Hurry up, we have to find a cave to live in before dark." ”
Liang Jian glanced at them lightly, and was about to speak, but she dragged her arm, "Don't worry about them." He smiled at the bearded man and said, "And I followed." ”
The two followed the large army, and Liang Jian turned his face sideways and frowned at her, "What are you afraid of them doing?"
"I'm not afraid of them, but it's better to have more than one thing, and when the one named Chilong is cured, we will go back, and in the future, we will not interfere with the river water with them. Qin Yue walked forward close to him, one foot at a time, and the squeaky sound of stepping on it was quite interesting.
Liang Jian looked ahead intently, her eyes were as deep as a waveless ancient well, and she didn't reply to her words for a while, not knowing what she was thinking.
When night fell, the bearded man found a small cave, and they set it up in it. The bearded man took out pieces of meat from the animal skin bag and distributed them to the tribesmen, and when he took out two pieces and threw them to Qin Yue and the others, he found a corner where more than a dozen people were huddled together and gnawed on the cold pieces of meat.
Qin Yue had no appetite, her whole body was frozen, and she kept exhaling the heater, wanting to warm her cold hands, Liang Jian saw it, covered her cold little hands with her big hands, waited for them to be hot, and instructed: "You stay here, stay away from them, I'll go out." ”
Qin Yue nodded obediently, seeing that the group of people didn't want to take care of her, so she stayed in the other corner alone, hugging her body to keep warm.
On this day, it was really cold, so cold that my teeth were chattering.
After a while, Liang Jian came in with a handful of firewood, and he didn't know where he found the dead branches and trunks in the ice and snow.
Soon, in the dark and cold cave, a raging flame rose, dispelling a bit of the cold air that invaded from the entrance of the cave, Qin Yue couldn't help but get closer to the fire, and suddenly felt a lot warmer.
The warm temptation attracted the group of people in the corner, the beard and face were tangled, after all, they couldn't resist the temptation, and the position under the buttocks was still a little closer to the fire, and the rest of the people did the same.
Qin Yue couldn't help but smile and pay attention to their movements, seeing that it was such a group of awkward primitive people with honest mouths, he was a little less annoyed with them before.
Liang Jian sat down next to her, wrapped her big hand around her waist, and asked her in a low voice, "What do you want to eat?"
After thinking about it, the barbecue meat given to them by the beard didn't know how many days, although it would not spoil in the ice and snow, but she had no appetite when she looked at it. Tilting his head to look at the few fish in the back basket, his eyes rolled, and he said ill-intentionedly, "Let's eat grilled fish?"
Kill them to death......
Looking at her smug little appearance, Liang Jian smiled dumbly and rubbed the top of her head, "You sit here obediently, I'll get it." ”
The bearded man kept an eye on their every move, and when he saw the man come out of the cave again, he frowned and looked strangely at the woman who was not doing anything by the fire.
Thinking that the woman was sitting here, it was impossible for the man to run alone, so he didn't say anything.
The cave is filled with the smell of grilled fish, and the grilled fish smeared with salt inside and out tempts people's appetite fingers.
Qin Yue tore off a piece of fish meat with a look on her face, shaved the fish bones and fed it to Liang Jian to eat.
The fish in the lake are naturally grown, and unlike the artificially farmed fish, they have their own game, and they are fatty and sweet, and they are not greasy to eat in the mouth.
The cave was very quiet, and she faintly heard the sound of swallowing saliva in a few places, Qin Yue snickered in her heart, and she caught a glimpse of a few people on the opposite side staring directly at the grilled fish in her hand, but there was no movement.
Liang Jian noticed their gaze, his face was slightly displeased, and his fingertips wiped the residue from the corners of the woman's mouth beside him, and silently enclosed her in his territory.
"I'm full. Qin Yue threw away the bare fish bone spurs he ate and smiled with satisfaction.
Liang Jian took out the animal skin blanket and laid it, pulled her to sit on the animal skin, "When you are full, go to sleep." ”
Qin Yue sat up as he said, but saw him sitting on the side without moving, and wondered, "Aren't you sleeping?"
"You sleep by yourself, and I keep vigil. Liang Jian stretched his long legs, and his tone was flat.
After thinking about it, I'm afraid that he is also worried about the group of people opposite, who are already ill-intentioned people, how can he sleep peacefully in front of them.
Then he sat back next to him, took his arm, leaned on his shoulder, and looked up at him, "Then I'll accompany you." ”
Keeping an eye on the beards of the two of them, and the corners of their mouths twitching, these two lived more leisurely than the chiefs of the tribe, sleeping in a cave and raising a fire, eating the flesh of the animals in the roasted water, and sleeping with a blanket of animal skins......
On the other hand, they were frozen and shrunk into a heap, lying on the cold and hard stone floor, but the tempting smell of burnt burnt had not dissipated for a long time, and they could not sleep for a while.
Sensing the slightly complaining gaze over there, Qin Yue looked over, but saw that the bearded man was looking at them, met her gaze, and turned his head proudly.
However, one of them, with a high nose bridge, a straight face, and hair shaped like a beggar's head, was much cleaner, and he grinned at Qin Yue, "Did you eat food that came out of the ice? ”
After saying that, he touched the back of his neck embarrassedly.
A few people looked over with burning eyes, obviously waiting for Qin Yue to answer.
"Yes, that's called fish, it grows in water, there are fish in lakes and rivers, haven't you eaten it?"
It seems that the primitive tribes here do rarely eat fish, and they are more inclined to eat the meat of animals that they devour in large gulps than fish meat that they have to spit out and chew slowly.
And fish, for them, is more difficult to catch.
"Our tribe only eats meat, grass roots, grass seeds and wild fruits, and the fish you mentioned are rarely seen and no one eats them. I didn't expect the fish to be grilled over the fire so fragrant!" He saw that Qin Yue had no stalgiving, and he felt close, and the witch doctor in the tribe made him dare not look directly like a god, but he didn't expect this witch doctor to be so kind.
Qin Yue said with a smile: "Then you missed the good things, there are many fish in this kind of river, and there are many ways to eat them, not only roasted and eaten, but also stewed fish soup, which can strengthen the body by eating it in winter." A thought flashed through her mind, and she paused, and then said, "Don't you know how to catch fish?"
The man shook his head and smiled shyly, "The witch doctor can make a fish jump out of the ice with witchcraft, and we don't have the ability to do that. Thinking of something again, his tone was a little low, "If we can have the ability of a witch doctor, no one in the tribe will go hungry." ”
He witnessed that the two people in front of him did not move, and the fish in the ice could jump out one after another, and many fish were piled up in a few breaths.
If the fish could keep jumping out like this, it would be enough for everyone in the tribe to eat for a long time.
And the grilled fish they just ate tasted very fragrant, and he ate the dry and cold barbecue meat without any taste at all.
Qin Yue didn't expect that a huge tribe like a black wolf could have a lot of people starving to death, but in an instant, he thought that the huge empire in the feudal period froze to death and starved to death thousands of civilians, not to mention the prehistoric period with such low productivity.
"If I could teach you how to fish in the lake, what would you get in exchange?"
