The campfire crackled.

The figure emerging from the grass was not tall, it looked like it was only about three feet, and it was obviously a child.

However, this child is very fast, using both hands and feet, and at first glance it looks like a wild wolf!

Moreover, although the movement was fast, it was light and did not alarm anyone.

Only Xuanyuan, who was leaning against a big tree, seemed to be asleep, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

The shadow moved close to the campfire, nose twitching, and soon saw Regulus eating the remaining piece of roast meat.

Xuanyuan squinted his eyes and looked at the figure, and found that this child was the child who supported the old man in the tribe during the day.

At this moment, the child was like a wild wolf, leaning next to the barbecue and sniffing, rolling a few times in his throat, obviously he was already hungry, but he still didn't put the barbecue in his mouth.

It seemed that the thing in front of him was both familiar and strange to him.

Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan couldn't help but sigh.

There is a clear civilizational fault line between the Western and Eastern races.

Just using the skill of flame, the Eastern human race has mastered it as early as 10,000 years ago, while in the West, until now, it is still living a life of drinking blood.

In a sense, this is also a dereliction of duty on the part of the Terran leadership.

The children over there observed for a long time, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the smell of barbecue, grabbed the barbecue, and bit frantically regardless of the dust falling on it.

It was clear that the child was starving.

For such a tribe with relatively primitive rules, it is absolutely very difficult for weak children to survive.

Coming out late at night to forage for food is also a helpless choice.

Xuanyuan didn't immediately bother the child, but waited until the child had eaten all the meat, and then walked behind the child lightly.

"Kid, come to me in the middle of the night and eat my food without even saying hello?"

This sudden sound directly startled the child!

"Whew-"

With a low whimper, the child jumped up like a wolf, turned his head and grinned at Xuanyuan.

Xuanyuan was not in a hurry, at such a close distance, in the face of a child, if he wanted to catch the child, the child would not be able to run at all.

Immediately, Xuanyuan didn't look at the child, but took out a piece of raw meat from the side and put it on the fire to roast it continuously.

Soon, the bonfire crackled, the smell of meat emanated, and the oil splashes on the raw meat kept flashing.

Compared to the somewhat charred barbecue that was placed next to the campfire before, the aroma of this barbecue meat is many times more fragrant.

The grinning child quickly straightened his eyes.

Xuanyuan smiled slightly, picked up the roasted meat and smelled it, and then took a big gulp: "Well, it tastes good." ”

The child squatted in the shadows greedily and watched Xuanyuan feast, his throat kept rolling, and the corners of his mouth were no longer angry.

By the time Xuanyuan had almost eaten, and half of the roast meat was still left in his hand, the child was obviously a little restless.

Xuanyuan smiled, reached out and handed the barbecue to the child: "Do you want to taste it?" The freshly baked one tastes a lot better than what you had eaten before. ”

The child looked at the barbecue, then at Xuanyuan, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of the barbecue, and tentatively stepped out of the shadows.

After getting close enough, the kid snatched the roast from Xuanyuan's hand, then retreated into the shadows, and then devoured it.

Xuanyuan didn't bother, but took out another piece of raw meat, and while roasting it, he whispered to the child: "Don't worry, there are still here, all for you to eat." ”

After eating four or five pieces of barbecue in a row, the child was full and stopped.

However, he still looked at the leftover barbecue, and seemed a little unwilling.

And his appetite has already scared Xuanyuan.

You must know that the pieces of meat roasted by Xuanyuan are not small, even if they are adult men, eating three or four pieces will be sky-high.

And this kid looks like he's in his early teens, and he can eat so much in one go!

To be honest, Xuanyuan was really worried that he was breaking his stomach.

But after thinking about it, Xuanyuan also understood the reason.

This child must not have enough to eat in the tribe, and now that he finally has the opportunity, he naturally wants to eat at one time, so that he can store more energy.

It seems that the problems of the West are much more serious than imagined.

Xuanyuan sighed and asked tentatively, "Do you have a name?" ”

The child took his eyes off the barbecue and looked at Xuanyuan, one big and one young, looking at each other, until this time, Xuanyuan realized that the child had double pupils!

"Kura...... Jie......"

After a moment, the child seemed to be a little slurred.

"Cangjie? Not bad. ”

Xuanyuan nodded, opened his mouth and continued to ask, "The old man you supported during the day is the leader of your tribe, right?" ”

This time, Cangjie didn't speak, but nodded stiffly.

"When I saw you during the day today, you seemed to be very hostile to me, can you tell me why?"

Xuanyuan pointed to the bonfire on the side and said: "This is the first time I have come here, and I am here to teach you some skills, such as this, call fire, with fire, your life will be very convenient, you can eat the kind of barbecue you just ate, it can also be used to drive away wild beasts, and when it is cold, the fire can also be used to keep warm." ”

From the brief contact just now, Xuanyuan could be sure that this child could understand his own speech, but he must have been usually silent.

And after listening to Xuanyuan's words, Cangjie was obviously moved.

He had already tasted the taste of barbecue, and it was many times better than the raw meat eaten in the tribe!

If you bring this thing back to the tribe, won't everyone be able to eat barbecue?

"Do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you. ”

Xuanyuan saw Cangjie's heartbeat and immediately spoke.

Cangjie hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded stiffly.

"Okay, then I'll teach you."

Xuanyuan immediately stopped talking nonsense, and immediately began to teach this Cangjie method of drilling wood to make fire.

At the same time, he gently explained to him the preservation of the fire, so that he could feel the temperature and damage of the flame.

Although Cangjie was silent, he was very smart, and Xuanyuan demonstrated the method of drilling wood to make fire, and Cangjie immediately mastered it.

This kind of cleverness surprised Xuanyuan.

"This kid is smarter than the average Terran child."

"That's right, in such a harsh living environment, how can you survive if you are not smart?"

Xuanyuan sighed in his heart, and was a little more determined about the integration of the human race.

"Thank you, thank you." Cangjie stumbled and said.

Xuanyuan smiled slightly and said, "No thanks, this is the first time I've heard you take the initiative to speak." ”

"Because...... You're a good person...... and the Chieftain...... Said ...... Not the same ......"

Listening to these stumbling words, Xuanyuan was not in a hurry, but asked softly, "Your leader knows me?" ”

"I don't know...... Road. ”

Cangjie shook his head, but then spoke again: "I know...... Orient...... Bad...... Hearty. ”

"Huh."

Xuanyuan laughed, but didn't explain this.

Obviously, this inherent impression that the East has many bad intentions is deliberately spread by someone, otherwise with such a scarce connection between the East and the West, how could the East leave such an impression?

And the patriarch of this tribe is obviously pretending to be confused.

For the old man, the moment he saw himself, he recognized that he was from the East.

However, the old man's attitude towards himself was to choose to stay away.

It seems that getting entangled with yourself can be troublesome.

Xuanyuan shook his head with a smile, and while fiddling with the bonfire, he said to himself: "It seems that if you want to understand the situation in the West, you have to enter this tribe."

"I ...... Yes, help you. ”

Cangjie suddenly said, "Tomorrow, you come." ”

Xuanyuan looked at Cangjie in surprise, but Cangjie didn't say much, but picked up the barbecue that had been roasted on the ground, burrowed into the forest again, and disappeared.

"This kid is not welcome, and takes all the meat with him."

A slight smile hung on the corner of Xuanyuan's mouth: "But, tomorrow?" I'd like to see what kind of surprise you can give me. ”
