"This is a brass handicraft from Xicheng. ”

Ye Xidao, who was sitting on the big leaf flame next door.

In view of the great role played by the bronze wine jug in promoting the participation of large, medium and small tribes in Xicheng last year, he specially prepared some small but delicate brass crafts before this departure. In this way, if he meets other tribes on the way to find Aori, he can use these small crafts to show the soft power of Xicheng, induce their yearning for Xicheng, and attract them to join Xicheng.

Civilization is also a force, and it is a more corrosive force that is different from the power of war.

Now he threw the cub a brass little man.

The reckless mold was made by the carving tribesmen, and the finished product was vivid and lifelike, and even the spots were distributed very realistically.

The frogman tribe lives around the frozen lake all year round, and the range of activity is no more than a few thousand kilometers, and they have never been to the Jiugong tribe, let alone seen such exquisite, golden human handicrafts.

The bronze wine jug is still willing to give it away, but this brass little mangling is absolutely reluctant.

The cub firmly grasped the brass squirrel in his hand, like a squirrel holding a pine cone, and repeatedly confirmed: "It was given to me, right?"

Ye Xi snorted lightly and did not speak.

Before he could satisfy the cub's appetite, the cub suddenly accidentally "slipped his hand", and with a pop, the brass little mangchug was sunk into the lake and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Oops, how did it fall!"

The cub lay on the flame of the big leaf, looked at the lake, and shouted in shock and sadness.

Ye Xi: "......"

Wouldn't the action be a little too pompous.

He cried and laughed and said: "It was originally given to you, what to throw away, and also, this thing is afraid of water, and it will rust if you do this." ”

"Was it really for me?"

The cub suddenly smiled as if his face changed.

He immediately hurriedly instructed the giant frog next to him to bring the brass back in his mouth, and carefully dried the thing, touched it left and right for a while, and then hid it in his pocket, looked up and asked: "You said it will rust, what is rust?"

Ye Xi: "It's just that there will be a layer of dirty things on the surface, which is more difficult to remove." ”

"That's ......"

The cub hurriedly took the brass slip out of his pocket and carefully wiped it all over the water.

After the cub's heat passed, Ye Xi pointed to the big leaves under him and asked, "What kind of plant are you?"

After receiving Ye Xi's brass little mang, the cub now looks at him a lot more pleasing to the eye, and does not choke him anymore, and has to answer questions: "This, we call it the big leaf flame, and the red flowers floating in the water next to it, we call it the flame bud, there are all year round, but it just doesn't bloom, it has always been like this." ”

"When it's hot, we all like to sleep on the big leaf flame, but it's comfortable, but it's too cold now, and sleeping on it is to find guilt. ”

Ye Xi: "Now you live in a cave in the ground?"

There were no mountains in the frog people's territory, so there could be no caves, and he didn't see any stone houses or anything here.

Cub: "yes." ”

He lay on the flame of the big leaf, stretched his arm under the leaf, and with a sound of water, he suddenly fished out a black snail the size of an egg!

"Here's for you!"

The cub threw the black snail to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi took the black snail, the black snail had just been fished out of the water, and the soft head and body of the frightened were all retracted into the shell.

Cub: "There is always a snail lying on the stem of the big leaf flame, you are lucky, this snail is big enough, eat it quickly, it will not be fresh when it dies!"

Ye Xi was surprised: "Just eat it raw?"

Cub: "Otherwise?"

Ye Xi looked around the shore of the lake and found that there was no trace of a fire, so he asked, "Do you usually not make fires?"

The cub's ears were slightly red, and a look of shame gradually appeared on his face, and finally he stiffened his neck and said: "What's delicious about cooked, and only delicious is raw food, you really don't understand food!"

In fact, frogmen don't make fires at all!

There is no flint in this area, and the surrounding tribes use the method of drilling wood to make fire, or simply keep the fire pit day and night to prevent the fire from being extinguished.

The frogmen can't master the trick of drilling wood to make fire, although they have also built a fire pond in the clan, and went to other tribes to bring the fire over, but the frogman clan lives in the hole, every rainy day, the rain will flow into the hole in the ground, and the fire in the fire pond will be extinguished.

In addition, there are many frogs in the frog people, and these frogs, whether small or giant, are instinctively averse to fire, so the frog people simply don't do this.

Of course, Ye Xi didn't know these things about the frog people, so he only said: "Snails are easy to have parasites when eaten raw. ”

The cub had never heard this kind of statement before, and said very ignorantly: "Parasite?"

Ye Xi: "As far as I know, some insects like to parasitize the snails, and if you eat the snails, those insects, including their eggs, may follow into your body. ”

His eyes were on the cub's belly.

The cub felt a chill in his belly.

Ye Xi continued slowly: "...... Then these worms will lay eggs and hatch in your body, one after another, more and more, and the parasites that grow up can penetrate the intestinal wall into your abdominal cavity and liver, come to the lungs to lay eggs, and then string to your other organs to parasitize, such as subcutaneous, liver, spinal cord, and even invade the brain, mild symptoms, abscesses and cysts. In severe cases, your limbs twitch and you have a splitting headache. ”

The cub stared blankly when he heard this, and shuddered violently.

After coming back to his senses, he looked at Ye Xi's eyes, as if he had seen a devil.

The cub smoothed the cold hairs on his arms: "Is it okay to eat it?"

Ye Xi: "Of course, high temperature can kill possible parasite eggs, otherwise why do you think the tribesmen always eat cooked food?"

The cub said with difficulty: "I thought they were contrived......"

Ye Xi looked at the sky speechlessly.

He put the big black snail in his hand to the side, jumped into the icy and biting unfrozen lake, and in the blink of an eye, he fished out several wet big snails.

Then he picked up all the big snails with his clothes, stepped on the flames of large leaves, and jumped onto the shore.

The cub followed him to the shore and followed him behind his ass and asked, "Do you want to make a fire?"

Ye Xi nodded.

He looked around and saw that it was full of plantains, and there was no wood to use, so he didn't bother to look outside, so he put on special gloves and set the flint fireball on fire.

"Wow!"

The cub stared incredulously at the blazing flint fireball.

All the frogmen around were attracted by the flint fireball, and the frogman's jumping ability was not covered, and in an instant, they gathered from all directions, crowded in a circle, and their heads were still pressed straight to the fireball.

Ye Xi was squeezed around by the crowd, and the tip of his nose was full of the special watery smell on the frog man, and he couldn't help but feel suffocated: "Let it all go." ”
