Chapter 13: More
Sai and his two followers failed to steal, but were chased by more than 20 menacing children in the cave.
Almost all the people who lived near the foot of the mountain saw such a surprised scene that afternoon, after all, on weekdays, it was Sai Ye and Zhan who bullied other children, and in the past, these children in the cave would not be so united, they basically acted alone, and more than half of them were beaten by Sai. But now no one expected that the children in the cave would be so united, more than 20 people, chasing and intercepting, stunned to beat the three of them into pigs' heads, if it wasn't for their parents to come to the rescue, they would have been beaten even worse.
It is also such an incident that has refreshed the understanding of the children in the cave by the people in the foothills. It turns out that these children will still unite and unite with the outside world. Those who are careful will hide their thoughts first when they see this.
It doesn't matter if you fight, the children of the tribe are not afraid, and the adults don't take it seriously, but being besieged by more than 20 people is another matter, even if it is a child, who is stupid to find out that it is not interesting.
After cleaning up the trouble of Sai, Shao Xuan recalled these irritable children back to the cave, and after the chase just now, the unwillingness of these people should be vented, and they should come back and do their right thing.
There were children in the cave who saw Shao Xuan taking fish to exchange animal skins, and came over with fish to Shao Xuan to help change, and the children who were appointed by Shao Xuan as the team leader were still a little smart, and they themselves were not happy to contact with the people of the tribe, so they asked Shao Xuan to help.
In the memories of some children, they vaguely remember being taught to prepare two things for winter, one is food and the second is fur. The former will keep them from starving, while the latter will ensure that they will not freeze to death. Even if there is a tribal fur, there are still children who get sick because of the weather every winter, and they close their eyes before they come for treatment, and they can't survive the harsh winter. People who have lived in the cave for a few years remember that the winter season scares them, because they always don't have enough to eat and sleep well, they often wake up from freezing, and there are people around them who die, so after they have food, they are willing to give some of it to change their fur.
With the first, there were second, third, and fourth people who came to find Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan recorded how many fish came out of which group on the stone wall, and then distributed them according to the recorded amount after changing the animal skins.
Just as I was remembering, a man walked in from outside the cave.
The children in the cave were silent when they saw the comer, and then soon the five of them gathered together and looked at the people standing at the entrance of the cave warily.
The person who came Shao Xuan knew him, and he was also a child in the cave, named Moer. More's father was an excellent warrior, but when More's was very young, because of a hunting accident, and then More's mother remarried, according to the rules of the tribe, More's followed, but the newly formed family is not only More's child, conflicts will always arise, and fights are inevitable.
Moore's original name actually had only one "Er", his father was called "Mo", and later Moore merged the two characters to give himself a new name.
Moore walked into the cave with a stone knife nearly as long as he had, glanced around the cave, sniffed, looked up in confusion, and saw a series of fish with fangs and large mouths hanging above his head staring at him with dark red eyes.
Mor took a step back and drew the stone knife behind his back, his whole body tense.
At the same time as Moore drew his knife, the others who mistakenly thought Moore was going to grab the fish also stood up with their tools and stared at Mohr defensively.
Why? Want to grab fish?!!
Although they have lived together in the same hole, since Shao Xuan was divided into a group, it is a collective of five people, and in the hearts of these children, except for the five people in the same group, they are all outsiders, and they must be guarded against.
"Alright, put down the swords and sticks...... The one holding the stone, don't think I can't see it with my hands behind my back!" Shao Xuan yelled at the people in the cave, then walked up to Mohr and pointed to the fish on his head, "Dead." ”
Moore frowned, looked closely at the grinning fanged fish above, and after making sure that it was really dead and there was no threat, he slowly withdrew his knife. It's hard to hold such a big knife all the time. After putting away the knife, Moore looked around again.
Seeing this, Shao Xuan guessed that he was looking for Ku, so he said: "Ku is going to the mountainside, and he won't come back in winter, Uncle Ge asked me to be in charge of here." ”
Moore nodded, but didn't say anything, for him, it didn't matter who was in the cave, but the changes in the cave made him uncomfortable. With the knife on his back, Moore continued to walk into the cave. But this time is different from the past, when he left for a period of time and came back, the cave was lying on the ground, no one cared about him leaving or coming back, but now no, everyone else in the cave stared at him, and everyone else stared at him wherever he went, with a posture of refusing to approach.
When Moore wondered how to leave the cave for a while, the other children were also thinking about it, and their brains were not very good on weekdays, but now they were flexible.
One more person, the prey you hunt will be more scored, no matter how you think about it...... I can't help it. Everyone thought about it in their hearts, and they all glanced at Shao Xuan, waiting for Shao Xuan to make a decision.
Shao Xuan had heard Ku say before that Moore's father left a lot of good things to Mohr, and the knife Mohr used was left by Mohr's father. Therefore, compared to the other children in the cave, Moore can be regarded as a rich second generation. It's just that this rich second generation is a bit different, and he has a good life, but he runs back to the cave every once in a while. There were times when Mor's mother, who had remarried, pulled him back to the mountain, but after a while, he would run back into the cave.
It may be a fight with the children of the new family, or it may be other reasons, no one asked, Mohr didn't tell anyone, the eight poles couldn't pull out a fart, and they were silent, except for nodding their heads and shaking their heads, otherwise they would do it directly. The boy in the cave had only one impression of him - the fight was very strong, and no one had ever won against him, including Kudu, who had already gone to the mountainside, and his men were defeated. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the children in the cave will not rob Mohr's things, and they naturally have to find the weakest attack first, and those who rob them have been cut by Mohr.
"Moore, have you spent the winter in the cave?" asked Shao Xuan.
Moore nodded.
"Okay, there were twenty-five people in the cave before, and I divided into five groups, and now you come back, then ......"
The other people in the cave suddenly became nervous, staring at Shao Xuan with wide eyes, and many of them shook their heads directly at Shao Xuan, for fear that the shaking amplitude would be small and Shao Xuan would not be able to see it, and clearly told Shao Xuan that they would not accept new members.
"Then join our group. Shao Xuan said.
The other four groups of people immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the nervousness on their faces subsided, and they couldn't help but show joy. As for the two oldest children in the cave who were in the group with Shao Xuan, they looked unhappy, but since Shao Xuan said this, they no longer objected, and glared at Moer when they turned around and went back to continue weaving straw ropes.
Moore didn't care at all about the obvious rejection of others, at least on his face, Shao Xuan couldn't see any resistance from Moer, and he still looked deeply silent just now.
At night, some children have already slept, and some people who can't sleep because they are worried about whether they will be able to fish smoothly tomorrow are absentmindedly weaving straw ropes, making a mess, making up and unraveling, always making mistakes, biting with their teeth when they are angry, seeing Shao Xuan's urgency, making up that like you bite with your teeth?
The fire near the entrance of the cave has not been extinguished, and the curtain at the entrance of the cave has not been completely drawn. The fire coming out of the cave was very obvious in the dark night, and the night swallows flying outside would also avoid the places where the fire was shining and watch from a distance.
Moore walked to the entrance of the cave with the knife on his back, put aside the big knife behind his back, and drew two short knives from his waist, one in one hand and a backhand. Now he couldn't restrain his aura like a totem warrior, so as soon as he walked out of the hole, the night swallow flying in the night sky noticed him.
Shao Xuan sat next to the fire, close to the entrance of the cave, and from here he could see the sky outside the cave.
There are two curved moons in the sky, yes, two.
After seeing the moon in the night sky, Shao Xuan realized this inexplicable fact, this was a new world that was far different from the world he was familiar with, and even all the rules and experiences he had mastered might not be able to be used here.
Now this season, the two moons will move away in opposite directions, and the crooked crescent does not bring much light to the night, and the night is much darker than the previous days.
The night is getting darker, and when the two moons disappear completely, winter officially begins.
Shao Xuan's gaze fell on Mohr outside the cave, and he knew that he was a veteran just now by looking at the posture of holding the knife and the current standing posture. While the children in the cave were still sleeping, Mohr began to practice the sword, and even though his father was no longer there, there were still people who would teach him.
Holding the short knife, Mohr stood there quietly, as if he was watching the night in the distance, but Shao Xuan knew that Mohr was waiting, waiting for the prey to come to the door.
In the dark night, night swallows flickered around the cave, and they could not be seen clearly in the night, leaving only a slight sound.
There were a lot of night swallows outside the cave, but they were hesitant because of the fire from the cave behind Mohr, and only a few dared to rush up.
There was a sharp sound in my ears. There's a night swallow approaching!
Mohr, who was standing there, moved, and slashed to the left with a knife in his hand!
The shot was very crisp and without any hesitation.
Bite!
Didn't cut it.
Because it was close to the entrance of the cave, the moment the blade slashed against the cave wall, there was a flash of dazzling fire.
The Nightswallow who had just attacked had already left, and there was an additional half-palm-long wound on Moore's arm.
It was the night swallow's beak like a sharp shovel to shovel wounds, but just now the night swallow was also affected by the stone knife that Mohr chopped over, and the angle of the attack changed, so the wound on Mohr's arm was not deep, if the front was shoveled by the beak of the night swallow, how could it be shoveled off, and it would never be like the skin trauma on Mohr's arm now.
A good hunter must not only know how to hide, but also know how to endure. Moore didn't show any pain because he was shoveled just now, his eyebrows didn't wrinkle, his hand holding the knife was still very steady, and the whole person looked the same as just now. He didn't treat the wound either, just let the wound on his arm bleed a little bit.
And those night swallows that flew by in the dark night seemed to smell the smell of blood in the air that dispersed with the evening breeze, and began to be restless.
Shao Xuan could hear the small sound of more and more night swallows speeding in the air.
Compared with the other children in the cave, Moore worked too hard, and when Ku was still in the cave before, he didn't understand when he saw Moll practicing knives with Yeyan, which was completely an act of looking for death in the eyes of some children in the cave, and after Moore left the cave, Ku also muttered, obviously able to eat and live well, why did he go to this poor land and still work so hard?
Caesar was also a little irritable because of the night swallow outside the cave, Shao Xuan calmed it down, got up and planned to take it to the cave.
It's just that Shao Xuan stopped after just taking two steps. He heard a sharp buzzing sound.
At first, Shao Xuan thought it was an auditory hallucination, and then he wondered if it was because he had been thinking too much during this time or for some other reason to cause the tinnitus, and then he felt that something was wrong, and the sharp buzzing sound was getting louder and louder, as if the object that made this sound was approaching in a hurry.
Bite!
There was another sound of stone knives colliding with a stone wall. At the same time, the sharp humming sound that Shao Xuan heard also came to an abrupt end.
Shao Xuan looked over there.
Moore held the knife in his hand, and the blade had penetrated the body of a night swallow, and the night swallow flapped its wings twice and then did not move, and blood flowed down the gray-white blade.
The night swallows that flew close in the night sky turned around, flew farther away, and lingered not far away.
Moore shook the blade of the knife and threw the piercing Nightswallow into the hole, landing next to the big knife he was carrying before. Then continue watching and waiting for the next prey to come to the door.
Caesar bared his teeth at the dead Night Swallow, eager to go up and take a bite, while Shao Xuan stared at the Night Swallow's beak like a sharp shovel, thoughtful.
