Chapter 3: The Lost 'Brian'
Four wolf children were not far from the tribe, crouching quietly behind a piece of gravel, looking at the sand dunes in front of them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Chen Tang has been wandering around with nothing to do in the past few days, walked over curiously, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
One of the little boy......s turned around and made a silent gesture to Chen Tang, pointed to the sand dunes not far away, and whispered, "We're catching jumping insects." ā
"What is a jumping bug?"
"It's a worm that lives in the sand, and it tastes good when roasted. Unfortunately, they move too fast, and as soon as they see someone approaching, they immediately get into the sand and don't come out, and it's very difficult for us to catch them. The boy said, shaking the stone in his hand.
The poor little ones were malnourished one by one, and their bodies were as thin as if they could not help the wind. In order to catch a few bugs to eat, I have been hiding here and waiting for more than an hour. Chen Tang planned to help them.
"What do jumping insects look like? Are there a lot of them under the sand? I'll help you catch them?" he whispered.
"Adults say that jumping insects are like fish in a lake............ Even though we've never seen so much water in a lake. But the jumping insects move around in the sand and are so agile that even adults can't handle them. ā
As he spoke, he saw the sand dunes in front of him suddenly tremble, and then Chen Tang was surprised to see dozens or hundreds of locusts that looked like locusts, fatter and fatter than locusts, but insects without wings jumped out of the sand. After landing on the sand, he immediately dived into it, and it really jumped out of the water like a fish. The four children immediately threw the stone in their hands, but unfortunately did not hit a single jumping worm.
The four of them were a little frustrated, but they quickly cheered up, and the little boy in the lead pointed in one direction and said, "The jumping worm must have drilled towards that position, let's go ahead and wait." When they jump out again, we may have a chance. ā
Chen Tang shook his head and smiled, and suddenly thought of a way, and said to the children: "I may have a way to catch the jumping insects, which of you is willing to come over and help me?"
"Lord Brian, are you telling the truth? Can you catch the hopper?" because Lambas saw that Chen Tang was extraordinary, and respected him very much. Therefore, the clansmen in the tribe also maintained respect for Chen Tang, and the little boy respectfully addressed him and asked.
"What's your name?" Chen Tang squatted down and asked the little guy.
"My name is Zaria, Gru is my father, and Xena is my mother. ā
"Oh, clever Zaria, will you trust me for once?"
The little boy looked at Chen Tang's smiling expression, saw his eyes with kind kindness, thought for a while, and nodded: "Well, I can trust you this time, but if you can't catch the jumping worm, then we have to come back and continue to wait for the opportunity." The jumping insects are delicious, and Lord Lambas loves them. ā
Cute little guy who is so loyal at such a young age. Chen Tang was curious about what kind of magic Lambas had, or what his identity was?
Of course, Lambas didn't say it, and he wouldn't ask it. Let's help the little ones catch jumping insects............ It should also be a little fun to find in the midst of suffering.
Returning to the tribe with the children, Chen Tang found Zina: "Sister Zina, do you have a thinner rope here?"
Xena was a little strange, but still said, "I'm sorry, Lord Brian, we don't have a lot of ropes, but I have a lot of thread for sewing clothes, do you think it's okay?"
Chen Tang was originally a little disappointed, but when he saw the sewing thread that Zina said, his face twitched slightly............ These things that are a quarter the size of a little finger are also called sewing threads? Well, they can be used to make nets.
There was a lot of mess, Chen Tang hugged the 'sewing thread' and thanked Zina, and then left with the children.
Find a piece of flat land, arrange the strings one by one according to the way of warp and weft, and then tie the junction little by little with a rope knot, leaving the mesh not big or small, just enough to prevent the jumping insects from drilling through. The children learn quickly and also help him to keep busy. It took less than an hour to make an extremely rudimentary rope net three meters long and one and a half meters wide.
Several people rushed back to the outside of the tribe, Chen Tang said a few words, and the little boy Zaria looked at the sand dunes with great experience, and then walked to a slope: "This place is more shady, and jumping insects like to jump from here." ā
Chen Tang and them spread the rope net on one side and sprinkled a thin layer of sand on top. Then tie a long rope to the four corners of the rope net, and lead it to the back of the sea buckthorn not far away, each child holds one in his hand, some expectation, and waits with bated breath for the jumping worm to jump out again.
This is the habit of jumping insects, which like to jump in the dunes. It didn't take long for a swarm of jumping insects, more than the previous one, to leap out of the sand, and most of them landed on top of the rope net.
Chen Tang hurriedly shouted, "Pull the rope quickly." ā
The four children struggled to pull the long rope, turned the rope net around, and the jumping insects that fell inside were anxious to get into the sand, but suddenly found that they were entangled in something, and could not go back to the lovely sand dunes.
The four children were so excited that they cheered and pulled the rope together, and the net was completely raised. I saw that there were nearly 100 of them circling around, struggling hard. The net is so rudimentary that it is about to break. Chen Tang hurriedly beckoned the little ones, picked up the thick bone stick, and knocked it randomly, and the poor jumping insects were all knocked to death and turned into their trophies.
Sure enough, they are all fat, and three or four jumping insects weigh a pound. The children dragged the nets with all their might, screaming and rushing back to the tribe. As he ran, he shouted, "Mommy, Mommy...... We've caught a lot of jumping bugs. ā
Zina and the other women were busy preparing dinner, and were curious to see the children dragging a lot of things back. I immediately found out that it was all jumping insects, and I couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, there was something delicious for dinner today.
"Mom, Mom, Lord Brian is so good, he made this for us, and then he caught so many jumping bugs. Zaria swaggered to Xena about their gains.
The tribe was too poor, and because of the crisis, most of the men could not go out hunting and had to stay at home, so there was never enough food. Several women were almost in tears of joy, and one by one they held their children and kissed them the foreheads.
The excited little ones put down the jumping worms and hurried out again: "There is still some time before it gets dark, we can catch some more, there is something delicious tonight!" ..................
Maybe today is a harvest day, and Chen Tang took the little ones to catch a lot of jumping insects. After the sun went down, Gru and Wanda and a few other adults also returned to the tribe, and the four of them carried a large creature weighing hundreds of pounds. Wanda proudly announced, "Look, we caught a big sand lizard today!"
"We've caught a lot of jumping bugs. Not to be outdone, Zaria exclaimed.
That evening, around the campfire, the tribe enjoyed a rare and comfortable dinner. Except for half of the adults who were still vigilantly cruising around the tribe, even Lambas came out of the tent to enjoy the fun with everyone............ It's been a long time since I've been so happy............
Chen Tang still lived in a tent with Lambas, and after dinner, the two of them returned. Looking at Lambas laboriously climbing onto the felt blanket and lying on his back, Chen Tang couldn't help but ask: "Lambas, ...... your injuries!"
He wanted to say it and stopped, after all, this is people's privacy.
Lambas was a little indifferent, and said with a faint smile: "Below the waist, there is no consciousness." It's been like this for years, and I'm ready to give up, but Gru and the others still don't give up, and they always think that there will be a day when they will recover. Alas, I've dragged them down all these years, and with Gru's bravery, he should be better off......!"
"Didn't find a doctor...... Oh, shaman, didn't you go to the shaman for healing?"
"We are in such a situation...... Always be on guard against being chased and killed, how can it be easily exposed?" Lambas shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Besides, I have seen the witch doctor a long time ago, and the witch doctor said that if the poison in my body can't be discharged from my waist, don't think about recovering my health." ā
"Are you poisoned?" Chen Tang was surprised: "Your enemy poisoned you?"
"Sort of!" Lambas shook his head...... He's been shaking his head a bit too much lately. "This toxin is so strong that it would be nice to be able to push it down my waist when I was poisoned, and barely survive. By the time we look for an antidote, it's too late. ā
Chen Tang was stunned when he heard this, and forced the toxin below his waist? Why does it sound so like a person who cultivates internal strength? Could it be that the orcs in this world also have a method of cultivation?
He became curious and couldn't help asking, "Can you tell me how you used to force the toxin below your waist?"
"You don't know, oh, yes, you don't remember anything!" Lambas was surprised at first, then relieved, and did not hide it, and said, "Because my blood is noble, I can have the power of the wolf spirit." I can do it with the power of my wolf spirit. ā
Well, Chen Tang heard a new term, the power of the wolf spirit, which seemed to be very powerful.
