Chapter 12 The stone houses are also divided into grades
Passing through the thick passage in the middle of the wall, a two-point continuous group of houses appeared in front of him, and as far as the eye could see, there were probably three or four thousand rooms, all the way to the foot of the Izumo Peak.
The houses built by the ape-man are not exquisite, but the square walls made of two or three thousand pounds of heavy stone have a different kind of rough beauty.
The little boy had never seen a stone house, not even a house for the first time. Everything around him felt new and dizzying.
The little boy's excited appearance made the ape cong secretly vigilant, for fear that the baby would run out alone because of curiosity, so she quickly took the little boy's hand.
"Little baby, don't get lost with your aunt. We'll take the Tyrannosaurus to the dining hall, and when the shark carcass is unloaded, Auntie will take you around the tribe. If you want to live here for a long time, you should also be familiar with the way, and by the way, you should get to know the people and mix with everyone. ”
The little boy nodded in agreement.
There are hundreds of ape people around him, and he is a little uncomfortable with this lively scene, but in fact, if the ape cong doesn't tell him, he won't run away alone.
Along the way, the ape-men who rushed to hear the news gathered more and more, and countless exclamations, screams, and explanations kept coming...... Mixed sounds, noisy crowds, unusually noisy.
"God, is that a Tyrannosaurus rex? Which team of warriors hunted the Tyrannosaurus? Are there any casualties?"
"You don't know that, that tyrannosaurus was not hunted by our tribe's warrior team, but the baby. ”
"Which baby?"
"Look, the human kid next to the ape. I heard that he was shipwrecked when he went to sea with his family, and he was homeless, and he was picked up from the beach by apes!"
"How is it possible, just pick up a baby and subdue the dragon and the tiger!"
"Heh, actually, I didn't believe it at first. But the left leader was weak in front of this little baby, and was thrown twenty or thirty feet high by the little baby with one hand. ”
"What's going on? Tell me about it......"
......
There is no need for the introduction of the ape, the little boy was passed on by the apes by word of mouth, and the more he spoke, the more miraculous he became, and the later apes also had a preliminary understanding of him and were deeply impressed.
Along the way, when they arrived at the ape-man tribe canteen, there were four or five thousand ape-men gathered around the black pressure, and almost the ape-men of the entire tribe gathered here.
The dining hall is built in a natural cave at the foot of the Yunfeng Peak, and the entrance of the cave is as high as thirty or forty zhang, which is indescribably bright. There is a pool of clear water in the cave, which is the spring water that has been oozing out of the cloud peak for many years, and it does not dry up in all seasons, it is cool and pure.
Long before everyone arrived at the canteen, two fast-legged clansmen came to report the news, and at this time, hundreds of cooks in the canteen had already sharpened their knives and waited at the entrance of the cave.
The Tyrannosaurus was slowly pupated by thousands of ape-mans, and the waiting cooks saw the shark carcass it carried, their eyes lit up, and their breathing became rapid. The old chef at the head of the pack carried a three-foot sharp knife with a shiny oil and couldn't wait to come forward.
"Good fellow, what a shark. ”
The old chef excitedly wiped the sharp knife on the waist animal skin, and hurriedly shouted to the cooks: "Unloaded, pots and pans are ready quickly, and the ginger and green onions are all washed for me." This chef is in charge of the ......."
The apes cheered.
Before the cooks arrived, the apes around the Tyrannosaurus scramble to unload the sea shark, and the unusually fiery action frightened the two-foot tall Tyrannosaurus to clamp its tail.
"What to do with this Tyrannosaurus rex? Do you want everyone to work together to slaughter it and boil a few pots of dragon soup?"
"Poof. ”
The Tyrannosaurus rex had weak legs and feet, and it was smiling proudly in the jungle, but at this time, it was surrounded by thousands of apes, and no matter how big the gentian was, it was so frightened that it swayed.
Ape Cong looked at the old kitchen thief's slippery gaze, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't, this tyrannosaurus is the foot power of the little baby." ”
The chef was disappointed.
His gaze turned to the little boy and quickly became fiery again.
"Baby, I heard that you are very capable and can hunt sharks and dragons. You are very good, in the future, whether you catch those who fly in the sky, run on the ground, or swim in the water...... Just bring me here. This chef is not boasting, with my cooking skills, you can't find a better one. ”
The little boy listened to him boasting, and saw him foaming at the mouth, and his mind was dizzy, and he felt that this old man was so interesting.
Ape Cong couldn't stand the old cook's boasting.
"Chef Liu, hurry up and make shark meat, everyone is waiting to try it! The babies born in the past two years have never drunk shark soup. ”
Chef Liu smiled, "That's." The chef's old soup is guaranteed to make them unforgettable once drunk. ”
The corners of the ape's mouth twitched.
"I can't eat shark meat once in three or four years, can I forget it?" But she just thought about it in her heart, but it was difficult to say it in her mouth.
Chef Liu was verbose for a while, and finally repeatedly told the little baby not to forget to bring the birds and beasts he hunted, and looked at the tyrannosaurus with weak legs and feet with a reluctant face, shook his head and sighed and slowly retreated into the dining hall.
"Your hands and feet are sharper, you and you...... Don't throw away the shark liver and shark intestines...... And you ......."
Chef Liu's loud voice soon sounded in the dining hall, and his voice alone overshadowed the noise of hundreds of cooks.
Ape Cong smiled bitterly and looked at the elder of the big clan, who was stretching his neck and staring at the dining hall.
"The elder of the big clan, the elder of the second clan, the elder of the fourth clan, I will take the baby back to clean up first, and then come back later. ”
"Go, go, go!"
The elder of the big clan waved his hand, and continued to muttered to the elder of the second clan without looking back: "Ah Gan, it seems that we haven't eaten shark meat for two or three years." The mackerel I picked up last time had a rancid taste, and it must have been dead for two or three days before we touched it, otherwise it would have tasted even better. ”
"Yes, today's sea shark is fresh, you must drink two more bowls of soup when you stay for a while. ”
"Alas, it's a pity that the sea shark is not something we can hunt, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to taste the shark meat in my life after this time. ”
......
The ape bush pulled the little boy and squeezed out of the crowd with the tyrannosaurus rex, who had long wanted to escape. Bypassing several stone houses one after another, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
"Auntie, why are these stones built together?" asked the little boy, pointing to a stone house, and without outsiders, he spoke again.
"This is a stone house, used to live in people. Every family in our tribe has its own stone house. ”
"Can I go in and have a look?"
"Uh~ Not now, you have to wait until the owner is home to go in, it's someone else's private place. ”
"Oh, where is Jiajia's stone house?"
"There. Ape Cong pointed to a tall stone house with a courtyard and explained, "Jiajia's father is the leader of our tribe's fifth warrior squad, and the scale of her family's stone house is second only to the stone house of the king, the clan elder and the left and right leaders, and belongs to the third grade. ”
"Third gear?"
The little boy clearly didn't know what it meant.
Ape Cong patiently explained: "There are a total of five grades of stone houses in our tribe, and the higher the status, the bigger the stone house you live in. ”
"Oh, what about the stone house of the Aku family?"
"Aku?"
Ape Cong thought about it, but then reacted with a sigh: "Aku's father died, and three years ago, together with his aunt's man, he was devoured by the mountain and sea toad in order to protect the clansmen. ”
The little boy was in a tense mood.
Looking back at the aunt, the aunt's face obviously became depressed all of a sudden, and there was pain in her eyes that could not be hidden.
"Auntie......"
The little boy called softly, and his mood was inexplicably painful, "Auntie, don't be sad, when I learn the ability of immortals, I will definitely help you catch the mountain and sea toad." ”
The ape bush was a little distracted.
If you want to catch mountain and sea toads, it's easier said than done. However, the little boy's serious appearance touched her very much.
"Baby, thank you, Auntie is fine!"
She suddenly smiled, "Look, baby, we're home." ”
Ape Cong pointed to a courtyard built against a hill in front of him.
The courtyard was indescribably spacious, and there were more than a dozen stone houses built in it, which were taller and more elaborate than the little boy had ever seen.
"Auntie, is this your home?"
The little boy was not sure. Ape Cong nodded, took the key from his coat pocket and strode to the locked door.
