Chapter 13: Shi Qing

Hearing Qin Yue's words, Liang Jianmu disagreed, they had already wasted a day on irrelevant people.

And autumn is coming, will winter be far away?

The seasons change dramatically, the rules of nature are different from those of the earth, and they have no idea how severe the winter is, so they must be well prepared.

The primitive man's gaze went back and forth between the two, and it was very strange in his heart to listen to two strangely dressed people saying words that he did not understand.

He remembered that he was dying of pain, and Eminem lay on top of him crying and wailing with a sad expression, and then he was delirious, and only vaguely remembered that two men were carrying him up and down.

He knew that he was going to that cave too, and that people in the tribe who were dead or dying would go to that cave, but he couldn't figure out how he could be here, with two people he didn't know.

Their clothes are so strange! Did they save themselves?, he thought.

"We need to find a place to live and store our supplies for the winter before winter comes. Liang Jian calmly stated his plan.

Qin Yue nodded in agreement, and was about to say something, but she felt someone pulling the corner of her clothes below, and when she looked down, she saw that the primitive person sat up again at some point, looking at her with clear eyes.

"To find a salt lake or a salt mine, we need to replenish the salt in our body. Not noticing the movement here, Liang Jian continued.

Qin Yue squatted down helplessly, she didn't know why, she felt that there was no malice in this primitive person's eyes.

And judging from his appearance, his hair was clumpy and messy, but his face was not covered with hair, and his frame was not large, and he looked like a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Maybe we can know where the salt is through him. She looked at Liang Jian and said affirmatively.

She said this because she noticed that some of the women in the tribe would sprinkle a layer on the meat when they roasted it, and they didn't drink the blood of the beast raw, so it was most likely table salt.

Besides, in the middle of the mountains, how difficult it is for them to find salt lakes or salt mines!

Liang didn't want to agree, but he couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he only narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice: "If you can communicate with him, I have no opinion." ”

Qin Yue frowned slightly, didn't pay attention to the ridicule in his words, looked at the shining eyes of the primitive man, pointed to his chest, and said slowly: "Qin Yue......"

Repeating it a few more times, the primitive person began to look at her in a daze, and then as if he understood, he silently stretched out his hand and pointed to her chest, reading "Qin Yue" in his mouth, and looked up at her again, although the pronunciation was not standard, but he could barely listen to it.

Qin Yue nodded with a smile, and was about to say something, but saw Liang Jian brushing away the primitive man's black fingers, and his angular handsome face was obviously dark.

"I'm teaching him to speak, what are you doing?" Thinking that Liang Jian was sabotage, Qin Yue glared at him dissatisfiedly, and then smiled at the primitive man, smiling like a wolf grandmother with bad intentions.

Liang Jian's face was pale, and he sat aside silently, his eyes staring at the primitive man's hand, as if he wanted to stare his hand out of a hole.

The primitive man's body trembled, and his black hands shrank together, as if he understood something, and his hands did not dare to move anymore.

Qin Yue continued to teach tirelessly, pointed to the chest of the primitive man again, and asked with a smile, "What about you?"

The primitive man of "Shi Qing" pointed at himself, as if he understood what she meant, his eyes lit up, and he pronounced "Shi Qing", the pronunciation was very close, but it was still a little vague, Qin Yue barely remembered Shi Qing as his name.

By the time it was completely dark, Qin Yue had simply learned their simple words such as "eating", "drinking", "sitting", "stone", etc., but it was not easy to remember, she followed Shi Qing several times before she memorized them.

Liang Jian had little patience to listen to their chatter, and went out with a bow and arrow to hunt a hare back, the hare was more than half a meter long, fat and had an extremely long coat, he peeled off a rabbit hair completely, cut the rabbit meat into several parts and skewered it on a wooden stick, and roasted the rabbit meat as if no one was around.

Qin Yue only smelled the aroma of barbecue, the tip of his nose moved, and he didn't have the heart to learn any more.

The three of them ate a sumptuous barbecue meal, Shi Qing licked the oil on his hand after eating, and only thanked Liang Jian non-stop.

He had never eaten such abundant food in the tribe, the food in the tribe was often not enough, and the elderly and children often starved to death, food was extremely precious to them, he did not expect them to be so generous, and his heart was full of gratitude.

Qin Yue thought extremely sadly, as if she had saved his life and had never seen him so grateful.

At night, Qin Yue used the light of the fire to compare with Shi Qing and learn their language. She found that their word composition was very simple, only words that expressed concretely, and slightly abstract words, such as sad and sad, were not available. To express joy is to cry out excitedly, and to express sadness is to wail in sorrow.

Therefore, in a short period of time, Qin Yue learned all the words in their tribe, she silently recited it a few times, and if she didn't know how to point to objects or make movements, Shi Qing would give the corresponding words.

Soon, the two could simply communicate a few words, of course, most of the time they were guessing, and they often talked with chickens and ducks.

For the next two days, Qin Yue continued to learn the language of the Shiqing tribe with great pleasure, and learned that their tribe was called the Black Rock Tribe, named after the black rocks that filled the tribe nearby.

When asked how many people there were in his tribe, Shi Qing didn't know, because none of them knew how to count, not even the knotted rope counting method that appeared in the long river of history.

Shi Qing also has a mother and a younger sister, named Aoba and Mina, they have a hard time surviving in the tribe, because he can't hunt, and his sister is often bullied, and his eyes are filled with deep sadness when he says this.

Thinking of what she had seen and heard in the Black Rock Tribe, she asked strangely, "Many people in your tribe are sick, and no one cares about them?"

Shi Qing was silent for a while, and said: "The witch doctor in the tribe died a long time ago, and Cangmu became a witch in the tribe, but he can't heal or distinguish herbs. We were sick and there were no herbs, and many people in the tribe died, and this time many people got sick together, and many, many people died, and there were not many people in the tribe left. ”

Qin Yue nodded, no wonder such a big cave looked empty, no wonder so many people were carried into the cave without cure, thinking that Shi Qing was carried to the cave in the back mountain before he could breathe, she couldn't help but sigh.

He also asked them about their usual food, and learned that they usually feed on plant grass seeds, wild fruits, and animal meat, and that men in the prime of life hunt and women gather, but they often do not have enough to eat, so most of them are emaciated.

Turning to ask about cannibals, Shi Qing's eyes widened in horror and said in a trembling voice: "They are man-eating monsters, not people, and they will not be blessed by the gods." ”

Seeing his frightened appearance, Qin Yue hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "You won't meet them, they will be punished." ”
