When Ye Xi first came to the Gongtao tribe, he was very shocked when he saw that they had a well.

You must know that the tribes of the Black Ridge Mountains all drink blood and hydrate bitterly during the dry season!

In fact, Ye Xi could have instructed the Tushan people to dig wells, but judging from the traces on the rock wall of Tushan, he found that there was actually a small fault zone. It is difficult to get water from the fault zone, because the fault has a crack level and the level is fragile, and the groundwater will seep down, so digging a well in such a place is half the effort, so he thought of another way.

Ye Xi asked the people of Gongtao how they knew that there was water underground, and the people of Gongtao told him that it was because of the Cave Rabbit Clan.

The Burrowing Rabbits are another Inhuman race living in this area, they are particularly good at burrowing, and everyone is a good digger, and one day they dug underground water while digging.

Later, when this matter spread, the cave rabbit clan turned digging wells into a craft of their race, specializing in digging wells for other tribes, and the cost was not low, a pure-blooded beast core in a well.

After pouring the water, Aunt E brought a small wild boar, picked up a stone knife and squatted on the ground to cut the meat, and then put the chopped large piece of meat into another trough.

A group of moa birds abandoned the trough and scrambled to the trough to grab meat to eat.

Pingyao saw that the moa birds were eating so deliciously, and he was hungry, so he urged Ye Xi: "Ah Xi, let's go to the Tao Lou quickly, Father and they will all divide the Kangkang beast in a while." ”

Ye Xi nodded: "Okay." ”

He didn't have enough to eat when he was in the birch forest, and he would have felt hungry too.

The two walked in the direction of the Tao Building.

After walking for about 500 meters, a tall circular building in red appeared in front of me, and the afterglow of the setting sun gilded it with a layer of fiery red soft light, and the whole building was as beautiful as a flame.

This is the pottery building, which is the landmark building of the pottery tribe and their proud work.

The terracotta building is three stories high, and the most amazing thing is that every inch of it is made of terracotta bricks. Usually it is a place for the high-ranking people of the tribe and their families to eat, and occasionally if a guest comes, the potters will also entertain guests in the pottery building.

The pottery products of the primitive society are so precious, every foreign tribesman who came to the pottery building saw the pottery building, they all stood in place in shock, and then showed extremely distressed looks - except for Ye Xi, of course.

Ping Yao and Ye Xi walked into the door of the pottery building.

There are many holes in the high walls of this pottery building, through which sunlight shines through them, and they come together like spotlights to illuminate the pottery building.

But without these lights, it wouldn't be dark in the pottery building, because there was a large fire pit in the center of it.

At this moment, the flames burned in the firepit, and the flames licked the prey in the shape of a fat boar with charred skin. Around it were carved stone platforms, where a dozen people dressed in sackcloth sat and ate slowly.

The rich and enticing aroma drilled into Ye Xi's nose along the wind, making his Adam's apple roll unconsciously.

When they came in, the people who were eating next to the big fire pit immediately found out, and after turning their heads and seeing Ye Xi, all of them stood up on the ground, and several people were pleasantly surprised to greet them on the spot, among which the fastest runner was a female warrior.

This is the daughter of an old man of Gongtao, called Nongyu, who is only fourteen years old this year, but she is already a second-level warrior.

Ye Xi watched her rush straight like a small cannonball, and opened her arms to hug his arm, but suddenly her head was as big as a fight, and she quickly dodged and hid behind Ping Yao.

Heavy rain is petite, with shoulder-length short hair, and at this moment, a pair of round eyes are staring at Ye Xi, which is inexplicably reminiscent of a pug.

"Brother Ye Xi!"

Heavy rain shouted unhappily, and wanted to catch Ye Xi without giving up, but Ye Xi dodged left and right to prevent her from being caught.

"Okay, Ah Yu, don't bother you Brother Ye Xi!" a thin old man with gray hair scolded Heavy Rain.

Heavy rain pouted, glanced at Ye Xi resentfully, and said reluctantly, "Got it, Father." ”

Ye Xi looked at this little girl who only reached his chest, and the hairs on his body were about to stand up. God knows what a terrible scene it was when he saw an underage girl enthusiastically pounce on him late at night and say that she was going to give birth to him!

An old man with a ruddy face, white and chubby walked over, and said to Ye Xi with a smile: "It seems that this kid Pingyao still has some ability, and he really found you." ”

Chief Gongtao took a step behind and said with a smile: "Haha, it's not that Pingyao has the ability, it's that Daxue has the ability." ”

The chieftain of the pottery came and wore a vermilion linen robe, on which were painted very abstract bird patterns, and braided a small braid with many pottery beads strung on it. He has a wide mouth and a wide nose, and his eyes are full of light, and he is the chief of Gongtao and the father of Pingyao.

Hearing this, Pingyao lowered his head and pursed his lips unconvinced.

Ye Xi saluted the people who greeted him one by one: "Ye Xi has seen the chieftain of Gongtao and the elders of the clan. ”

Pingyao's Eminem is a tall middle-aged woman, and when she smiles, there are gentle crow's feet blooming in the corners of her eyes: "Don't stand here yet, Axi should still be hungry!"

After that, she actually took Ye Xi's hand and pulled him towards the fire pond.

Holding Ye Xi's hand was as rough as sandpaper. Although she was the chief's companion, she was also a hard-working woman, in charge of the affairs of the Mai printing and dyeing of the Gongtao tribe, and her hands were soaked in potions all the year round, which were not only rough but also stained with color, and could not be washed off, as if she was wearing a pair of gloves.

Ye Xi meekly let Pingyao Amm pull him to the stone platform, and then was softly pressed to sit down.

The rest of the people also came back and sat down one by one.

Heavy rain was about to rush to sit next to Ye Xi, but was pulled back by her father, Qingyang, one of the elders of Gongtao.

The chief of Gongtao personally cut a large piece of meat for Ye Xi, put it on a pottery plate and handed it to Ye Xi.

There are no chopsticks or other eating tools here, they are all grasped by hand, and if you are particular about it, you will cut a rough wooden thorn and eat it with the meat in this way.

Ye Xi grabbed the meat and took a bite.

Kangkangmon is roasted to the outside and tender inside, and the crispy and fragrant skin is a soft and tender meat, which tastes fragrant and makes people have an endless aftertaste.

Ye Xi was hungry, and he couldn't help but be addicted to this delicacy, and he couldn't stop eating.

After eating for a while, Ye Xi finally felt a little full, and slowed down his eating.

Pingyao Eminem cut some meat and put it in Ye Xi's pottery plate, and kept persuading him: "Eat more, look how thin your child is." ”

Ye Xi was a little embarrassed, he ate a lot, and he had eaten a lot unconsciously, and Kangkang beast meat was not particularly much, how could he be embarrassed to continue to let go of his stomach and eat a lot.

Chief Gongtao looked at Ye Xi and asked with concern, "The caravan will leave tomorrow, and you will leave with you, right?"

Ye Xi: "Yes." ”

Chief Gongtao sighed and said, "I still don't approve of you going, it's too big and dangerous outside, and the possibility of going to find the Treants outside the Nu River is too small, but it's very likely that you will never come back." Actually, this time the flat kiln was not selected, and I am quite happy in my heart......"

After a pause, Chief Gongtao continued, "Do you have to go, if you regret it now, go and tell the Treant Patriarch now, and he won't blame you." ”

Ye Xi was a little moved: "Thank you, but I also want to go to a farther place to see." ”

After receiving Ye Xi's answer, everyone was silent for a while.

After a while, Heavy Rain's father, the elder of the Qingyang clan, suddenly said to Heavy Rain, "Go and bring the things." ”

The heavy rain responded, stood up and ran out of the pottery building, and soon came back with two stone boxes, one large and one small.

After the elder of the Qingyang clan took the two stone boxes from the thick rain, he handed the small stone boxes to Ye Xi.

"Open it and take a look. ”

Ye Xi opened the stone box and saw three seven-leaf grass emitting a faint light lying quietly inside.

This is...... Ye Xi was slightly moved.

Qingyang: "This is a horse chestnut, which is very effective in treating injuries." When you are seriously injured, chew and eat one, and the wound will be much better, I think you need it very much. ”

Ye Xi closed the stone box, handed the things back to the elder of the Qingyang clan, and said solemnly: "I can't accept this." ”

Exotic grass is precious, and even for a large tribe like Gongtao, it is not something that can be easily taken out. No merit, this gift is too hot.

Qingyang smiled bitterly and handed the stone box to Ye Xi: "Take it, in fact, I also have something to ask you." ”

You say. ”

Qingyang was silent for a while and said, "You should have heard of the name Ban Yi, right?"

"Of course I've heard of it, he's a legendary sixth-level warrior, and he's a very remarkable character. ”

Qingyang's eyes flashed with thoughts: "...... He is my eldest son. ”

Ye Xi was a little shocked.

He thought that a legendary figure like this should be very old...... However, looking at the appearance of the old man with white hair, it is not impossible to calculate according to age.

Qingyang sighed and said, "I originally had three sons, and the two younger sons were killed in battle when they encountered the king beast while hunting. And my eldest son, Ban Lost, wandered alone for decades, without any news, and now I don't know whether he is alive or dead......"

Heavy rain hugged Qingyang's arm and looked at him worriedly: "Father......"

Ye Xi sighed, Qingyang, as the patriarch of a big tribe, has a respected status, and gave birth to a son like Ban Yi, who should be very happy, but seeing him like this is more lonely than ordinary old people. Fortunately, there is still an old woman with Heavy Rain by her side, otherwise it will be even more lonely.

Qingyang's eyes were cloudy, and he continued tremblingly.

"I'm getting older, I'm afraid my days are numbered, so I hope to ...... I hope that if you run into Ban Yi outside, let him hurry back to the tribe and tell him that his father wants to see him one last time before he dies......"

Ye Xi looked at the old man Yin Yin looking at him, and sighed a little.

This is the reason why parents are not traveling far. In modern society, it is good to say that the transportation is developed and there are many contact methods, so everyone does not feel any distance, and they can come back at any time if there is anything. But in such a primitive society full of crises, such a walk may be eternal life.

And that legendary character Ban Yi has been away for so many years, and it is likely that he has been very lucky and died outside.

But Ye Xi obviously couldn't tell the poor old father, he took a breath and said, "Don't worry, if I see him, I will tell him." You don't need this weed, you can take it back. ”

Chief Gongtao persuaded beside him: "Take it, you have taught us so many things, isn't it worth three different grasses?"

Ye Xi shook his head and was about to say something, when Pingyao suddenly stuffed the stone box into his arms: "Ah Xi, don't underestimate our Gongtao tribe, don't say it's three different grasses, even if it's thirteen, you can afford it!"

Ye Xi smiled helplessly.

It would be a bit hypocritical to refuse, he stood up and saluted everyone from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you very much. ”
