Chapter 478: Daily
As the sun gradually rose, the Thorn tribesmen in the cave finally rose in twos and threes to join in feeding the chicks.
Everyone fed the chicks very roughly, and they poked the meat mud into the chicks' throats with their fingers, regardless of whether the chicks choked or not.
It didn't take long for everyone to feed them all, and the chicks filled their bellies, and finally they were born and no longer cried out in tears.
The whole world was instantly silent.
They sent the chicks from the ground to the thorn vines one by one.
Ye Xi also helped, picked up a heavy gray-haired chick the size of a chicken, and personally sent it to a thick thorn vine.
The chick had been obediently nesting in Ye Xi's arms, and immediately squatted down after being put into the thorn vine, its fluffy feathers exploded, and it puffed itself into a ball of fluffy gray hair, squinting its eyes and dozing off comfortably.
After the chicks have eaten and fallen asleep, the adult thorn finches have finally flown back.
One by one, thorn finches burrowed through the dense layers of thorn vines and threw the giant prey in their mouths to the ground with a thump.
The prey they brought were all very large, many of them were carnivorous beasts, such as saber-toothed tigers, cave lions, velociraptors, etc., and Ye Xi even saw a black titan python with a thick grinding disc.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa~"
The milk-gray thorn finches chirped happily and crisply, as if they were asking for merit, and their cute appearance made people smile.
Compared with the slender bodies of other giant birds, these thorn finches have slightly rounded bodies, and their claws and beaks are small and delicate, delicate and cute.
But it is these harmless-looking birds that like to carcass, so fierce that even birds of prey are frightened and aggressive.
The Thorn tribesmen laughed and laughed for a while before they lifted the prey on the ground and walked to the root of the thorn vine.
Although the area of this thorn bush is very large, in fact, the main stem is really only five, and the roots are as thick as three people hugging each other.
False Tooth also lifted a coyote that was still panting and walked over to one of the main stems, and under Ye Xi's gaze, cut its throat with a bone knife.
A bloody arrow shot out suddenly.
Bright red blood spurted onto the main stem of the thorn and trickled down into the black dirt.
Qiu Ya explained to Ye Xi: "Our thorns grow better when they are watered with blood, produce more bright flowers, and bear more fruit, so we have to water the roots with blood every morning. ”
Ye Xi: "No wonder there has always been a strong smell of blood here. ”
Tooth threw down the coyote that had dried up the blood: "When the sun is stronger, the smell of blood will dissipate a lot, if you think it stinks, how about you go to the thorn vine with me for a while? ”
Ye Xi happily agreed: "Okay." ”
Dong Muying had been lazily leaning on a thick thorn vine and dozing off, and when she heard this, she opened her eyes and shouted to the fangs: "Remember to pick a core for me!
He rolled his eyes at the sky and choked, "You are so beautiful, you have to eat and take it off yourself!"
Dong Muying glanced at him with a smile, hugged his arms and said, "Don't think about me fighting with you in the future, and you will never want to win against me and be the heir of the chief." ”
Tooth snorted in his nostrils and didn't speak again.
He led Ye Xi over the thick vines and came to the top of the thorn bush.
Here is ten meters above the ground, the brilliant blazing sun is unobstructed, pouring down unscrupulously, the hot wind blows the hair of the two people, and the air is very fresh.
Fang pulled out a stone machete from his back, grabbed a newly grown thorn vine at the top, and slashed it down with a clatter.
After chopping five arm-thick thorny vines in a row, False Fang explained: "Every once in a while, new vines grow, and we cut off most of the new branches to make clothes. ”
Ye Xi glanced at the clothes worn by Qiu Ya in surprise: "I thought the sackcloth on your body was made of ramie. ”
Tooth looked back and asked curiously, "What is ramie?"
Ye Xi: "Oh, it's a leafy shrub, we usually soak it in light salt water and then dry it so that it shows its fiber filaments. Then through the carding, pounding and other processes, the fiber will split again, so that you can get a more flexible linen raw material. ”
Hearing this, Fattooth smiled and waved the thorn strip in his hand, and said, "I don't know what fiber you are referring to, but the steps sound similar to the process of making clothes in our tribe!"
He crouched down and gently smashed the thorn strip in his hand with the back of his stone knife.
After a few blows, a layer of black hard shell on the outside of the thorn strip was smashed into pieces and peeled off one after another, and the fangs peeled off the remaining sticky black shell with his hand, and the whole black thorn rattan turned wood blue.
The wood-colored rattan flesh looked closely and turned out to be fibrous, and the fangs tore off a fiber silk and handed it to Ye Xi: "Look, this is the raw material we use to make clothes!"
Ye Xi took the thin vine silk with the thickness of the milk straw.
This vine silk is still hard, and the juice can be squeezed out by a gentle squeeze.
"We will soak it in clear water for three days, and then hang it on the thorns to dry for a day, and then the vine will shrink and soften, and we will be able to weave clothes without having to go through pounding and combing!"
Ye Xi looked at the stout thorns under his feet and said, "You have long thorns everywhere here, and it is convenient to dry things, but where does the water come from?"
He stood up, pointed to the distance and said, "Look at the forest there, there is a small river in that forest, do you see a little golden light? ”
Ye Xi narrowed his eyes.
His eyesight was better than his, and through the dense canopy of trees, he could see not only the golden light, but also a corner of the sparkling river.
Ye Xi: "It's a bit far away from your tribe. ”
False Tooth said helplessly: "That's also a helpless thing, who let this river not flow near our tribe, so that we have to go there to wash the bath, hey, what is your Xicheng like?"
Ye Xi smiled: "We originally had a lake there, and recently we dug a river canal to bring water from the river in the distance. ”
Qiu Ya sounded a little envious: "Then your Xicheng is really good! Why don't we dig a canal to bring the water from that river?"
Before Ye Xi could answer, Qiu Ya waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, I'll invite you to taste the core of the thorn vine!"
Ye Xi was curious: "Core?"
False teeth: "It's what the guy who owes me to bring it, she is bad, the thorn fruit she invited you to eat is sour, although it is precious, but only birds and birds love to eat, we still like to eat the core of thorn vines!"
As he spoke, he peeled off the rattan strands one by one, and after peeling dozens of rattan threads, he finally revealed the thin orange-red inner core inside.
"Come, taste it!" the tooth handed the core, which was only the thickness of a finger, to Ye Xi.
Ye Xi took it and took a bite.
He found that although the thorn vine was a plant watered with blood, its core was unexpectedly sweet and delicious, crunchy to bite, like sugar cane, but much more tender than sugar cane, so Ye Xi immediately fell in love with the taste of this thorn vine core.
False tooth reminded: "There is scum in this core, you have to spit it out!"
Ye Xi took another big bite, nodded, and gave him a thumbs up.
Fang: "What does that thumb mean?"
Ye Xi spit out the core scum and smiled: "It's very delicious!"
The fangs suddenly shook, raised his chin and said proudly: "That's, our thorns are full of treasures, otherwise we wouldn't be called the Thorn Tribe!"
Seeing his tail cocked and unhappy, Ye Xi couldn't help but want to tease him when he was amused, so he praised the thorn vine a few more words.
This boast is unbelievable, and he directly praised the favorability of the tooth, and waved the machete with a bloody sound, shouting that Ye Xi must eat enough today!
