Chapter 9 Difficult Environment

Aunt Ape seemed to see through the little boy's thoughts, and instructed the second baby: "You take a few babies to pick some oranges." ”

The second baby was stunned, but he was a little hesitant.

Aunt Ape said angrily: "The little baby has just arrived, not only hunted back the sea shark, but also subdued the tyrannosaurus, and followed us for twenty or thirty miles, presumably with a dry mouth." Although these orange trees are shared by the tribe and are not allowed to be picked privately, no amount of oranges can cover the credit of the little baby this time. ”

Aunt Liu echoed and said, "What Sister Ape said is reasonable. I am in charge of this matter with Sister Ape, if there is a tribal clan who always embarrass you, you can bluntly say that it is the two of us who instigate it. ”

The second baby received the order and was very excited.

Although there are many orange trees in the tribe, more than 6,000 people divide them equally, and each person has more than a dozen catties of oranges, and every time they eat oranges, it is difficult to eat them on weekdays.

Today I am stained with the light of the great king.

If it weren't for the great king hunting sharks and descending dragons, presumably Aunt Ape and Aunt Liu would not be able to make private claims.

The oranges were picked quickly, and the two babies picked one by one by one, and specially picked the largest one and handed it to the little boy.

The little boy took it happily and opened his mouth to bite. The sour and astringent taste of the orange peel made him spit it out in a hurry.

Aunt Ape saw that his nose and eyebrows were in a ball, and said with a smile: "Baby, that's not how oranges are eaten." She snatched the orange from the boy's hand, quickly removed the orange peel, divided the kernel into small petals, and handed it back.

The little boy was stunned.

He has always eaten the fruits on the golden ship, how can he be so particular. At that moment, he tentatively ate the orange petal, and the strange smell made his eyes widen instantly.

"What does it taste like?"

Aunt Ape looked at him with a smile.

The little boy smacked his lips, "It tastes weird." The oranges I ate on the big boat melted in my mouth, and the smell was so fragrant that I didn't taste much before I could taste it and flow into my stomach. This orange ......"

Aunt Ape looked surprised.

"Melt-in-your-mouth oranges?" she smiled wryly, "Auntie has lived for decades and it's the first time I've heard of it." If you think this orange is delicious, Auntie's will give it to you. ”

The little boy nodded, "It's delicious, it's delicious, this orange is really delicious." The first time he tasted it, it had an infinite aftertaste compared to the mountain spring. You are not polite at the moment, and took another orange handed by your aunt, "Auntie, why don't you eat it?"

"Auntie doesn't like to eat. ”

"Oh. ”

The little boy didn't think much about it, and after a few bites of the peeled oranges, he peeled the oranges handed by his aunt.

"Little baby, I don't like to eat oranges either, mine is for you. Aunt Liu smiled and handed over the oranges she had peeled. Immediately afterwards, the other aunts also shouted orange sour teeth, and stuffed their peeled oranges into the little boy's hands under various excuses.

The little boy was holding a large pile of peeled oranges in his arms, and he was a little surprised by the reaction of the aunts. Jiajia muttered on the side: "Aunties are really eccentric." ”

The little boy looked back at her.

Jiajia stuck out her tongue, "It's obviously that there are few oranges, and the aunts saw that you didn't have enough to eat, so they made excuses for you." But Jiajia hasn't eaten enough, why don't you let me!"

"Let Me ......"

The little boy suddenly looked back and saw the aunts' embarrassed expressions, and his heart was indescribably moved.

"Is this family care?"

His nose was inexplicably sour, and a feeling brewed in his heart that he had never felt before. It's sweeter than oranges, but it's also more sour. He turned around and stuffed some of the oranges in his hand for Jiajia, and then two for the youngest Aku, turned around and strode forward.

The little boy's reaction Aunt Ape was unexpected, and hurriedly followed, "What's wrong with the baby?"

The little boy shook his head, "I don't know, it's just that my heart is a little blocked." ”

Aunt Ape said angrily: "What's the blockage, isn't it just a few oranges! Aunties are old, and their teeth are really afraid of sour." ”

The little boy looked up at her, "But the orange is not sour." ”

"Uh~"

Aunt Ape was robbed and had nothing to say.

"Auntie, there are so many oranges on the tree, why don't your tribe let you pick them?"

Aunt Ape sighed: "Baby, you just came to this land, and you don't know the difficulties of this land." Summer and autumn are fine here, but in winter, everything withers and snows all over the mountains, and if you don't stock up on food, many ape-people may starve to death. ”

"There seem to be a lot of oranges on the trees, but there are not many of the more than 6,000 apes. At critical times, oranges can not only satisfy cravings, but also be used as food rations to save lives. If we take more, our people will share less. If everyone is free to pick them, the oranges on the tree may be eaten before the winter begins. ”

The little boy was deeply touched.

"Auntie, isn't there a shark in the sea, you can hunt sharks if you don't have food!"

Aunt Ape smiled bitterly, "But apes don't know water." In addition, there are few sharks on the coast, and the shark flocks generally live in the open sea. ”

The little boy tugged at his hair.

Aunt Ape then sighed: "Actually, our ape tribe is quite good, and there has been no starvation of the tribe in recent decades. Like the barbarian tribe three hundred miles away, the ancestors are pig essence, everyone can eat it, and it can reproduce, and the children of one child are often six or seven. Many people in the entire tribe have no food in summer and autumn, and hundreds of tribesmen will starve to death in winter, and almost all the corpses of the dead tribesmen are secretly eaten by their fellow tribesmen. ”

The little boy is a thriller, a little scary.

If it weren't for Aunt Ape's mouth, he wouldn't have believed that there was such a terrible thing in heaven and earth.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these sadness, baby, look ahead. ”

Aunt Ape pointed ahead, but in fact, Aunt Ape didn't warn, and the little boy also found the woods ahead.

The field path was only three or four miles, and before they knew it, they had come to an end. At the end of the field are rows of large trees, these trees are tall and straight, and the thinnest ones can only be surrounded by three or four people.

The boy ran to a large tree and was amazed to find that it had ruler-long spikes on its body. Curiously, he touched a spike and pulled it off the tree with great force.

Seeing his actions, Aunt Ape stepped forward with a wry smile.

"Baby, don't pull these thorns. ”

The little boy took the thorn off and asked curiously, "Why?"

Aunt Ape pointed to the back of the tree.

"This is the Iron Locust. Behind this iron locust forest is the mountain gate of the ape-man tribe, and the iron locust in front of you is specially planted here by our ape-man tribe. It was tall and stiff, and the trees were covered with spikes, which the spiked beasts were most afraid of bumping into. ”

"The Iron Locust Forest in front of us is the most loyal guardian of our ape-man tribe, it not only blocks the wind from the outside world, but also blocks the surprise attacks of countless fierce beasts. ”

After listening to Aunt Ape's explanation, the little boy was extremely embarrassed, hurriedly threw away the spikes in his hand, and touched the big wound on the bowl on the tree, regretting it very much.

"Auntie, I'm sorry. ”

"Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty, pay attention in the future. ”

Aunt Ape touched his head, "Let's go, through the Iron Locust Forest, you can see the mountain gate of our ape tribe." Your baby has just arrived, but you have hunted three sea sharks and subdued a tyrannosaurus at once, which is a feat that is very rare in our ape-man tribe. The meeting will definitely alarm the whole tribe, and you must be prepared for everyone's enthusiasm. ”

Aunt Ape didn't say that it was okay, but when she said it, the little boy felt nervous.

He was in a nervous mood, and followed Aunt Ape's footsteps through the two-mile-wide iron locust forest, and his eyes suddenly opened up. In the line of sight, a huge stone wall that is difficult to see the end of the huge stone wall lies in front of it, like a sleeping dragon, simple and magnificent.

In the middle of the wall, there is a thick passage, and on both sides are a dozen sentry ape-men.

They were tall and strong, with thick arms, and each of them had a big black hammer, and if the head of the hammer was solid, the weight of each handle would not be less than 100 catties.

"Sister Ape is back!"

A sentry ape-man spotted a figure coming out of the Iron Locust Forest and shouted from afar.
