He ...... Say what? Ren's face was full of astonishment, looking at the young man who had already woken up from his coma, he didn't know how to react, his face was flushed, and finally looked at Qi, Qi shook his head, and Lixia and Liyang behind him looked at each other.

Seeing that the three of them did not react, the young man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the Adam's apple squirmed up and down with difficulty, let out two thirsty gasps, sighed, and finally moved his eyes to the workbench where the apparatus was placed in the apothecary's tent, and tapped his fingers on the spot.

Everyone followed the young man's eyes, and it was a transparent glass bottle containing half a bottle of transparent liquid.

Ren looked at the bottles in the stands, and hurriedly rushed over to protect them with both hands, for fear that others would snatch them, so he kept shaking his head and muttering: "This is the wine that my wife left for me before she died, but I can't give it to you." ”

The young man was speechless, Qi took a bottle of water from the side, squatted down and slowly fed it into the young man's mouth, without looking back: "You also said that he is short of water." ”

Ren scratched his head awkwardly with his right hand, hid his left hand behind him, pushed the wine back, and forcibly explained: "I thought he was going to rob me of the wine...... Only I can drink this wine, and no one else, even the patriarch, can drink it, let alone an outsider who has been eating me since I picked it up until now? Besides, patients can't drink alcohol in the first place, hey, I'm not worried about him, am I? ”

Kai didn't care what Ren Lao said, he was notoriously crazy in the tribe, and Qi had long been used to it.

At this time, the young man in front of him drank water too fast and was choked, Qi patted the coughing young man: "Okay, you can't drink more, you can only drink so much at a time, can you understand my language?" ”

The young man's neck was immobilized, and he had to blink.

Qi observed the young man's subtle movements, and raised his hand to signal: "Liyang, burn it, he wanted to nod just now, at least it proves that his tribal customs are still similar to ours." ”

Liyang nodded, took out a piece of bamboo and a small carving knife from his clothes, and carved "communicative" on the bamboo piece crookedly

"Where are you from? Heavenly Court? ”

The young man who had just drunk the water was obviously relieved, but he didn't answer, just stared at the Kai in front of him and repeated: "Give me back ......"

"Huh? Do you understand me? ”

"Give me back ......"

The boy repeated it twice, and Kai was sure that he heard every syllable clearly, but Kai looked blank and turned his head to look at Liyang and Lixia, but the two of them also frowned—they couldn't understand the language that the young man was speaking.

"This ...... Do you want to cross it out? Liyang raised the bamboo piece in his hand.

"Ahh This...... This is ......" The pharmacist on the side suddenly looked horrified, attracting Kai's attention.

"Can you understand?"

"This, I heard the patriarch and a few other old guys say, so only those few high-ranking people of the tribe can speak, it is strange to say, they are very proficient in this language, but it is not our common language, that day the patriarch called me to give him a review, saying that I have finished the medicine I prescribed, and the condition seems to have eased a lot, and asked me what to do next, just when the expensive old man came in and had something, he opened his mouth to say, but when he saw me, he held back his words and changed to a language that I didn't understand." Without waiting for Kai to speak, he continued: "If he says anything else, I may not understand, but I heard the patriarch say this sentence, the syllables are the same, at that time you took the patriarch's things, the patriarch was a little angry, so he yelled very loudly, this is the sentence, I was scared, God, you must know that the patriarch is known for his good temper, I have never seen him angry, that was the only time, so I remember it very clearly, and their pronunciation is different from ours, slightly slower than our language, There are still many places where the tongue has to be cocked. ”

"Patriarch..."Qi Shen groaned, "Huan...... Gewo, is that what you say? ”

"Well, almost, Huan Gewo, it probably means 'bring it'." Jen nodded.

Kai also nodded, motioned for Liyang Lixia to pick up the torch, turned around and lifted the tent, it seemed that he was looking for the patriarch, Ren sat down again, raised his hand and shook it in front of the young man's eyes, testing whether he was conscious. But the young man didn't look at him, just stared straight at the place where Kai had just left, there was no initial anger in his eyes, just no emotion, no matter how much Ren attracted attention, the young man never looked at him, Ren had no choice but to give up, got up and picked up the wine left by his wife, leaned back on the workbench, and took out something like a pocket watch from his clothes—from the outside, it was so bad that it could be thrown into the garbage pit, the shell was badly worn, and even dented in some places, The concave places were just enough to be connected in a line, as if they had been struck by some sharp object that could be connected in a row.

Jen pressed the button several times, and the heavy outside bounced off. The pointer inside is quite sensitive, still running at its own post, the back of the shell is a row of jagged protrusions, just in line with the recess on the front, and behind the pointer, there is a circle of precision mechanical structures that this tribe should not have, constantly operating.

"Huan Gewo? What is it? The patriarch was puzzled.

"This is what the foreigner said, he kept repeating this sentence, and Ren-senpai said that you seem to know this language, so I will write it down and ask."

"Yes...... Give it back to me, right? The patriarch said uncertainly.

"Uh, um, yes, your pronunciation is more standard than mine, I said it too fast." Kai replied, "What Elder Ren said may mean 'to bring', I don't know if it's correct. ”

"You mean 'give it back to me,' did you take his things?" The patriarch hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"No, right...... Oh, Jen pulled out the paper from his chest, the kind of paper that records things, and on it was a picture of the man and a woman we had brought back. ”

"Portrait...... Let's take a photo. A word came out of the patriarch's mouth that Kai had never heard before.

"What is Zou Chapter?" Qi asked puzzled.

"Yes - I can't explain it to you, you understand it as a delicate machine - oh you don't know a machine either, it's - a man-made, extremely complex mechanism, and a photograph is a combination of this type of mechanism that can record what happened at a certain moment." The patriarch said.

The patriarch is now eighty-eight years old, his beard is white, but his speech is still calm and powerful, and he has perfectly inherited the virtues of each patriarch - the most learned man in the clan. He originally wanted to meet the young man who had been rescued back to the tribe by himself, but his legs and feet were inconvenient, and the man was seriously injured, so he could only send Qi to check the situation.

"Organs? Like you made a drip pipe? Kei asked.

"Drip pipes...... It was just an experiment when I was younger, and the real usefulness of that thing was in arid areas, but we have regular rains here, and there is never a shortage of water, and the only drought is probably the inside of the blocked caves. The patriarch thought for a moment and replied, "Well, that seems right. ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just remembered what the previous patriarch left for me a long time ago, it was Wu An's words, saying that he wanted to say it to the patriarch of the fortieth generation, that is, me."

"Fortieth? But wasn't Wu An the patriarch of the fifth generation when he was there? More than 1,400 years ahead of us. Although he is a warrior, he is not a god after all, how could he have expected what would happen more than a thousand years later? ”

"He didn't mean to leave a message for the 'Li' patriarch, but for the patriarch of the fortieth generation."

"Can I know what's going on?" Kai asked solemnly.

"Hmm...... Anyway, it's not a big thing, which probably means that during the tenure of the fortieth generation patriarch, another warrior will appear to lead us out of the cave and overcome the sun. The patriarch chose to tell Qi, and then said in the language of the tribe mixed with a language that Qi could not understand, "In Wu'an's era, people still recorded it on paper, unlike our current bamboo slips and animal bones burning, so there will not be much information that can be found, more is the word of mouth between people, it is almost a legend, many things can not be determined its authenticity, only the patriarch is credible, anyway, in two years, you will be the patriarch, and now it is the same to tell you - Wu An also said, 'People are trapped as prisoners, My ability is not enough, my descendants, please do your best. I know you haven't heard of this language, it's a language that only patriarchs and elders can learn, that's the language of the person you come back to, and I'll teach it to you in a year's time." ”

"Actually, you can continue to be the patriarch, and your body is still strong."

"No, the rules of the ancestors, one term can only be forty years, and we can't go against the decision of the ancestors." Kai wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Li.

"Okay, don't say more, let me go myself, I did this."

Rationale pointed to the side, where a plank floated - not actually floating, but supported by a circular object underneath.

"This is called a wheel, the middle one is called a shaft, I cut it into a movable shape, this thing should be called 'car' in Wu'an's language, I will lie on it later, you push the two logs behind you, they are called handles, just push me over."
