Xia Fan didn't sleep well in the cave at all, not to mention that his body was not dry, not to mention that there were mosquitoes, he was always afraid that the bats on his head would take advantage of everyone's sleep to suck blood. As a result, nothing happened. These bat-like creatures have their own way of surviving and may eat bugs.

Well, I only dozed off with my head tilted on the back of the pig, but fortunately, the pig and the beast walked slowly, although it was slow, but it was quite stable, and it was estimated that Xia Fan would not be able to sleep if he was on the horse.

When you wake up, the bats are moving deeper into the cave.

The sound of the soo came from the depths of the cave, and the echo in the cave reinforced the sensation of the soo, which made the scalp tingle.

Thinking about them one by one, densely packed is as uncomfortable as seeing the dense eggs of Fushou snails.

The evolution method here is also very different from modern times, Xia Fan took out the animal skin and found a charcoal to record it, the charcoal is very brittle, and it will break with a stroke.

The turtle statue saw something, and gave Xia Fan a pen made of bones, and scratched it on the animal skin, which could leave traces.

'Great, I can write ancient notes, and if I could go back, I guess these records would be better than Darwin's theory of evolution.' This experience of mine traveling back to ancient times back to modern society is definitely a selling point, written into a book, made into a movie, and female fans offering flowers, I'm even more popular than Rukawa Kaede, haha. ’

Xin tugged at the corner of Xia Fan's clothes.

Xia Fan came back to his senses for a while.

Everyone dressed up and continued to set off, in order to speed up, ate some pieces of dried meat brought with them, this piece of meat has no salt taste, no spiced cumin, spicy monosodium glutamate and other ingredients, it is the taste of roasted paste, and a little herbal taste, harder than the bark, to be honest, Xia Fan really admires their teeth, in the animal skin pocket Xia Fan selected the smallest piece of jerky and put it in his mouth, like everyone else, his hands kept pulling the dew on the long grass along the way, and pulled it into his mouth. Wait for the jerky to soften slowly, and then eat it little by little, which is better than nothing.

After the heavy rain, the sky and the earth are washed, and the grassland is yellow, but the air is fresh.

A rainbow also appeared in the distance, and it was double-layered.

There was not much dry food brought, and the one-eyed dragon meant to resupply it on the way.

Along the way, they occasionally hit a few small animals along the way.

It's very simple to fight these small animals, one by one, and there is no missing shot. When he hits the wolf, he will come back.

I haven't moved the big animals yet, one is not to take away, the other is that the large animals are all in groups, not easy to attack, and it is not easy to end up after the attack, the animals here feel aggressive, more difficult to deal with than the bison in North America, the animals of this era feel that the average person wears a knife on the head, a group of yak-like animals on the far grassy slope, dark chestnut brown hair, a pair of sharp double horns on the head that bends upward, the shoulders as wide as the hillock, the long fur is completely dragged to the ground, and the thick armor and heavy knife people are not cowardly, The defense is high, the attack is also high, and the will to fight is still high, how do you let us humans play.

Xia Fan found a huge herbivorous animal that day, even in the face of several of the most aggressive carnivores like saber-toothed tigers, he did not flinch, anyway, he was facing it head-on, although it was torn apart in the end, it can be said that he died standing up.

I don't see the last resort to stay out of touch with these large herbivores. Xia Fan said in his heart.

After walking for a while, it is no longer like the gentle shallow grassland before, there are more mountains and rocks, and this is the first few days of departure.

It's like the end of the grassland, there is already a feeling of sand and gravel, a swamp and a piece of sand, and there are grassy beaches and grassy slopes from time to time, and the ecology here is not as good as the grassland.

"Three, three." Xiaoyu was happy, oh, it turned out to be straw mushrooms, Xiaoyu found a lot of straw mushrooms in a bush in front of her.

Xia Fan took a closer look: "This kind of straw mushroom should be edible, like a fan flower like a chicken fir mushroom, and the color is like the shiitake mushroom of our time." Like the wild shiitake mushrooms that I went to the mountains with my mother to dig when I was a child. ’

'This is good, the eight amino acids necessary for human beings can be found in the mushroom, is there a straw mushroom soup to drink, and then make some game to make a soup, it is really delicious, thinking that I am hungry, I really didn't eat much in the morning, the stomach growls, the pigs and beasts also growl, but it is eaten indiscriminately, I am hungry and panicked. ’

At noon, bury the pot next to a natural stone bridge to make rice, straw mushroom soup, stew unknown animal meat pieces, Xin's cooking skills can be, but I don't know if this soup is not cooked enough or these small animal meat is too difficult to stew, anyway, it is not cooked feeling, the meat taste is OK, or the bite is not very moving, hungry and no, eat indiscriminately and start to have stomach trouble.

Fortunately, the ancient four fields were all toilets, and Xia Fan turned his back to find a place where the grass was hidden, even if it was a place for the reincarnation of grains.

These savages didn't have much stomach trouble, and their stomachs were so good. It stands to reason that Xia Fan's antibodies and the microflora on his body are superior to those of their ancient people.

After eating lunch and continuing on the road, Xia Fan took another nap on the pig beast and felt a little more comfortable.

The shrill cry of an animal in the distance woke Xia Fan up, which was more effective than an alarm clock.

At this moment, a white animal appeared on a dry grass slope, and the white was really white and shiny. Long neck, eyes are also bright, just on the hillside, is really standing up and looking at Xia Fan and this group, like a white enlarged version of the mongoose, seeing Xia Fan and they are coming, possessed and ran into the grass next to them, the wolf of joy saw it, and quickly chased it, the white animal did not move slowly, jumped to the back of the grass slope, the wolf increased its speed, the white animal was faster, and immediately pulled away when it was caught.

Xiaoyu rode an elk and chased after it. Xia Fan told everyone not to chase after him at the end, except for Xin and Dan, who walked slowly, none of the others listened to their prophet, and they all chased after them.

'At first, I was at my command, but none of them listened to me.'

Seven turns and eight turns, they rushed up a dirt slope, Xia Fan also had to follow, I don't know if these wild people noticed, Xia Fan noticed the strangeness around him, this mountain road is stronger than the surrounding wind, like a corridor of wind.

There are many holes in the surrounding dirt slopes, some of which have been blown down, these holes do not look like rabbit holes, these holes are large enough for a medium-sized animal to enter, and some of them have wooden planks stuck in the outside. The ground is paved with sand and gravel, and there are strange little white flowers on both sides, which do not look like natural formations, as if someone has carefully taken care of them, but they have recently been abandoned.

Turning a dirt slope, the scene in front of Xia Fan was dumbfounded, in fact, the scenery is okay, it can't be compared with the scene in Miyazaki's manga, but it's not bad, it's just that the ups and downs with the outside world are too big, so I was surprised.

It's as if you've jumped straight from the savannah of Africa into a park in Kyoto, Japan.

The stream is murmuring, the spring water is gurgling, the smoke is filled, there is no wind in the four fields, a colorful forest like a peach tree, like a peach tree but not a peach tree, like a cherry blossom but not a cherry blossom, the canopy spreads like a peach tree, and the leaves are like cherry blossoms.

The surrounding grass has withered yellow, but here the grass grows cherry blossoms, and there is no hole in the sky. The colorful forest grows luxuriantly, and the pink eyes are beautiful, and the falling flowers are colorful, falling on the ground and drifting away with the current.

One of them was extraordinarily good-looking, the tree was intertwined with a kind of vine, and in the middle of the tree was a stone human face, and an ancient mark was impressively underneath the stone face, and the lips of this stone human face were slightly open, and it was spitting mist.

In the modern world, these are easy to achieve, and this must be an Internet celebrity check-in holy place, but in the ancient era, this scene is quite mysterious, and the layout here feels far beyond what this era should be, just like the Eastern Wilderness tribe Although the defense is high and there is a feeling of a walled city, but after all, it is still seen that the level of productivity is not high, and the aesthetic awareness of the ancients is not high, but here is not, it seems that there is a modern artist carefully taken care of, but there are ancient mysteries and the horror of animal bone decoration, It's just a feeling of being abandoned for a long time.

This place is like a paradise and like the entrance of the water curtain cave of the monkey, and here is like the place where the tree spirit vine monster entangled Tang Seng is. In front of it is a wooden door, which is also very strange, and the wood used for the wooden door directly encloses the skulls of many small animals. The creature seemed to grow on some kind of tree, and finally it was embedded in it, and then it died in the wood, and finally the wood was used to make a gate. In addition, there are various beast heads hanging on both sides, and the vines climb, and the tail will shake like a mimosa when you touch the end, not to mention how weird it is.

Xin approached the wooden door, wiped it, and sniffed again: "It's blood." He rubbed it in his hand: "There is also a stone pigment." ”

Xia Fan's heart tightened, it turned out that the Tao on this wooden door was painted with blood and mineral pigments.

The settlement went down the slope, and after a long slope you walked into the settlement, and it was lifeless. The fog in the settlement was filled, and the sky suddenly covered his face, and he hid his face and wept, and the light rain was like mist, and after a while, the beast clothes on his body were wet, and the feeling of dampness and coldness came up immediately. Xia Fan tied the pig beast to the dry ground next to a grass canopy, jumped down, and began to walk in the settlement.

The happy wolf looked around for the white animal that ran into this settlement, and there was no trace, and it was obvious that the white animal was very intelligent and could escape the wolf's pursuit, which was unusual.

Xiaoyu rode the elk around the settlement and came back, spreading his hands to everyone, meaning that no one was found. The light rain was very fast, and he made a pink wreath and put it on his head. It's beautiful!

The tents here are different from the tents in the Eastern Wilderness, and they already have the feel of agricultural architecture, like a mixture of tents and dry stilt buildings, a mixture of mud, stone slabs, trees and grass.

Xia Fan roughly counted, there should be more than forty buildings of various types of estimation and count as the enclosure of the building, thirty under the grass slope, six on the slope, and four more on the tree, the thickness of the slope, each building to find a tree as a support, it is completely a canopy, and the tree is very light, like a bird's nest, Hei has climbed up a bird's nest, and he also spread his hands at everyone, no one.

The scene of people in this settlement should be very peaceful, there are not as many people as the Eastern Wilderness tribe here, but the degree of development is higher than that of the Eastern Wilderness. Each family has a ship coffin, Xia Fan and the one-eyed dragon opened a few together, they are all empty, very weird, where did the people here go? Why don't you want your own home, these aborigines don't seem to be in a hurry, and they don't look like they have been attacked by other tribes, but they look like they will turn around after a short stay from home.

The stomach growled more and more, Xin began to find a place to make a fire to cook, Xia Fan happened to look around, there should be food residues here.

The tiger and leopard brothers found millet and potatoes in a clay pot behind one of their tents, and they also hunted fish and small animals, and also collected berries. Obviously, the level of civilization is higher than that of the Eastern Wilderness tribes, but the force value is inferior.

After staying in this peach blossom settlement for a long time, it was almost dark, and there was no moon tonight.

Looks like we're going to have to spend the night here.

Everyone found two nearby tree canopies, cleaned them up, and lit a fire. When the food is ready, it doesn't matter what he does, it matters to fill his stomach. In this era, you can't be too demanding on food, and the road ahead is difficult, so eat one meal less than one. After the wolf finished eating, he and the black ran up to the heights, one person and one tree house, the bear and the tiger looked around, there was no abnormality, and they wanted to beckon everyone to rest.

In the midst of this settlement, there was a creaking sound, and a sense of foreboding hit my heart.

The appearance of this settlement at night is very similar to the scene in Uncle Ying's movie, just the background music, if you come in directly to shoot a ghost movie in the era of popular ghost movies in Hong Kong films, you don't need to set up a scene.

There seemed to be a bright light in the distance, and it squeaked through the entire settlement, and this sound made Xia Fan and the others tremble.

"Prophet, do you hear?" Xiaoyu asked.

Xia Fan nodded, and came out with Tiger Bear to check.

A figure, in the only light, slowly walked towards Xia Fan and his party in the fog around them.

It's ghostly. In the afternoon, Xia Fan was sure that no one was found.

Xiaoyu they also confirmed.

The figure slowly approached the two brightly lit canopies.

A few feet away, frozen.

Xia Fan, Tiger, Xiong, Xin, Dan, and Pig all opened their eyes wide, and the pig didn't go to sleep.

Xia Fan didn't believe in ghosts, but it was obviously like a ghost, the turtle didn't dare to come out to see it, Xiaoyu was hidden at the door and peeked, the wolf stopped whining at a high place, the one-eyed dragon was bold, holding a double-headed hammer as if he wanted to step forward, Xia Fan signaled everyone to retreat.

This is not a ghost, it is a real old man, with a shadow.

In the dark night, Xia Fan and the old man looked at each other for a while, and then everyone held their breath.

The old man finally trembled and said, "Who are you~ ? ”

Xia Fan found that the white mongoose was standing obediently at his feet in the afternoon.

The one-eyed dragon and the bear wanted to step forward to interrogate, but Xia Fan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to step back: I'll communicate with the old man.

Xia Fan was bold and stepped forward to help him into the tent, he had a strong smell of herbs that he had never smelled before.

Let them into the canopy, and everyone carefully sit on either side. Xia Fan sat opposite the old man, better communicating with him, and Xiaoyu had the courage to sit down next to her prophet. Kuro jumped down from the tree and looked at us at the doorway.

He was not wearing a beast coat, but a linen coat with a sense of weaving, this linen clothes reminded Xia Fan of the word "linen and filial piety", and his heart was uncomfortable, he wore a headdress with a fluttering head, and the beast's tail acted as his hair, like Guiguzi's abundant skin, but there was no color.

The old man was covered with withered vines, holding a tree stick, describing witheredness, his face was pale, he couldn't be a ghost, Xia Fan went to look for his shadow again, and made sure there was a shadow. Uncle Ying has watched a lot of movies, and he still knows about these ghosts and zombies, and if there is a shadow, he should not be a ghost.

His words were not in the Eastern Wilderness, but Xia Fan could understand it.

Xia Fan explained the whole process of coming to the village and entering the village, and the old man let go of his hostility and concerns.

He sat by the fire for a while, stretched out his hand to the flame to ask for warmth, and after a while, his face became a little bloody.

It was obvious that everyone didn't understand the old man's language, and Xia Fan acted as everyone's translator.

When I came to this world, I met the three waves of tribal races, the language of the Eastern Wilderness and here Xia Fan can understand, the language of the harpoon tribe Xia Fan does not understand, but the one-eyed dragon understands. What is the reasoning behind this?

Xia Fan asked why there was no one in the old man's tribe, which was also a question that everyone was concerned about.

The old man stroked the white mongoose, and the meerkat squeezed his eyes at the bear and ran under the old man.

Xin handed the bowl of steaming broth to the old man, the old man almost overturned with the wooden bowl, the one-eyed dragon hurriedly caught it, and helped the old man take a small sip, the old man seemed to be very hungry, picked up the bowl and drank it slowly.

Xia Fan approached the flames and found that the old man had no hair and his whole body was still molting, which was very weird.

After a while, the old man's complexion turned a lot, and then he said leisurely:

"My name is Huabo, we are called Beihua tribe here, we are all the remnants of the great war in ancient times, take refuge here, this was originally a winding path, lived here for a long time, everyone was leisurely, men and women weave, living an isolated life, everyone farms together, takes care of the old and young together, hunts together, looks for berries together, sings and dances in their spare time.

I don't want to be that in the past few years, people in the tribe began to disappear inexplicably, and then one after another people died, a total of more than 30 people died, more than 20 people did not know where to go, these people who died were all killed in the family, they all had almost no major illnesses, some minor illnesses and small disasters did not die, and soon even those in the tribe who could be cured died. It's all vomiting that can't be stopped, and then it can't be saved. In the past few years, no child has been born, and if he is born, he will not die.

Then the whole tribe began to spread rumors all over the sky, some people said that there were unclean things in the tribe to blame, some ~ said that we Beihua offended the mountain god, some said that it offended the ghosts, people want to take revenge on us, everyone is more and more afraid, go more, several families bolted livestock and slowly went to the south, seven, seven or eight ~ went away, in the end here is the escape, the death of death, our family is finally left with me a lonely old man, I am also the last person in Beihua. I hope that if they run away, they will survive, and our Beihua will not be wiped out.

I'll sleep in my coffin now, and I'll go any day. ”

'Strangely, we didn't find this old man when we came, he was sleeping in one of the innermost coffins. Xia Fan said in his heart.

"What were the symptoms of these people before they died?" Xia Fan asked.

Hua Bo seemed to be unbearable, with a surprised and frightened expression on his face, and after a while, he said angrily: "It's really uncomfortable to think about, a good person, inexplicably the whole body began to redden, then there were blisters, nausea and I couldn't eat, and then there was hair loss, peeling, and then I vomited violently, not to mention doing farm work, it was difficult to get in, and it was miserable." ”

Xia Fan had a bad premonition in his heart, after all, he was not from medical school, because he had been in good health since he was a child, he only occasionally caught a cold, and he went to the hospital only a handful of times, so he didn't know what these symptoms and what the disease was at all.

Xia Fan looked at Hua Bo, tears were rolling in his eyes, and his hands were peeling and molting.

Xiaoyu stepped forward to hold the old man's hand and couldn't help crying.

Hua Bo was drooping, crying as he spoke, his language was intermittent and illogical in many places, Xia Fan could still understand some of it, and acted as a translator for everyone, sorting out sentences to tell everyone. Xiaoyu was already hiding her face and crying, and everyone was also amazed, and there were many weepers. Only the pig and the leopard are already asleep, and the snoring is coming and going, which is just the buffer zone of this sad story.

This strange ancient era, is it a virus? Is it a dragon? Is it Pandora? It robbed these good people of their good life and changed everything, just as the Anglo-Saxons did to the Indians of North America and the people of the vast regions of Africa. The same story happened here as in the Eastern Wilderness, and here it was closer to the Dragon Mountain in the distance.

Does the source of all evil come from that place in the distance where there is black smoke?

In modern society, Xia Fan, who is salted fish, will definitely choose to lie down, but in this sad ancient era, Xia Fan's heart naturally aroused a surging ambition like Huo Quai, and in the face of the vast earth, Xia Fan waved his staff:

"The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home, if the evil dragon is not removed, heaven and earth are useless."

The worldly turmoil, this mundane is like a big net, covering all our dreams, the ancients, this unknown is like a big net, salvaging all our nightmares.

That night, Xia Fan and Hua Bo chatted for a long time, and Xia Fan began to know more about this era that had only come a long time.

Xia Fan deeply felt his responsibility, with a mortal body, comparable to God, no one can do it, but he wants to do it, he is trying to make himself a king, to climb the peak of his heart and history.
