0044 Dimethoate
Jia Chao had no idea about the black monitor lizard's resurrection with the help of the captive's corpse, and he returned to the camp in the woods with a group of people about three hours later.
There were only old people and children in this group, and there were no women. Seventeen old men, thirteen children, a total of thirty people.
The place where Tuming temporarily housed them was not far from the camp, and from their mouths, Jia Chao knew that these people were all people who had recently lost their tribe.
In other words, in addition to attacking the Yanshi tribe, the Black Lizard tribe also attacked many other small tribes.
These small tribes don't have spirit whisperers or elemental warriors, so the autumn hunts are all out of the nest, and even the old people and children follow to carry the prey.
But in the end, it was not the corpses of wild beasts that they moved the most, but the corpses of their people.
The Black Lizard tribe did not kill them all, they took the women away, leaving the old people and children to bury their people.
When Jia Chao returned to the woods with these soulless people, Red Fang's eyes were straight.
They couldn't understand Jia Chao's approach, because according to the previous customs of the tribe, these old people were already old enough to go to the forest of the dead and sit and wait for death.
"Chief Ah Chao, we didn't hunt today, what did you bring back so many old people and children to eat?"
Red Fang looked at the few small beasts they had hunted nearby, and asked Jia Chao with some anxiety.
When Jia Chao heard this, he directly took out the corpses of two bison from the Linghai space, "If the meat is not enough, call me!" I've got more here! ”
Redfang was stunned when he saw this, "Where did you hunt the bison?" ”
Jia Chao pointed at Xingyue and Da Lang, "The beasts you encountered along the way were all hunted by them. We've gained more along the way than you hunted yesterday! ”
Redfang was speechless, "Then why don't we make them jerky?" Wouldn't the corpse of the prey also decay if it was placed in the Spirit Sea space? ”
Jia Chao shook his head and just wanted to refute Red Fang, but a voice came from behind him:
"You can't make jerky right now, it's going to rain soon!"
Jia Chao turned his head and glanced at the person who spoke, it was an old man who had been taken in by Tu Ming.
The old man looked to be in his sixties, and had only a tattered animal skin skirt on top and bottom. Although he is thin, the muscles on his body are very tough.
The long white hair is tied up in a high ponytail with grass roots, and it looks a bit fairy-like bones.
Jia Chao suddenly felt that this person was unusual, and immediately asked him:
"Old man, how did you know it was going to rain?"
The old man patted his knee and said:
"Every time it rains, my legs hurt old man!"
Jia Chao: "......"
I thought you knew a little bit about divination like that old god stick of the stubborn stone, but it turned out to be an old rheumatism!
"Dare to ask what the old man is called?"
Old man: "My name is Le Pethoate, and I am a priest!" ”
Jia Chao let out an "oh", "Do you know divination?" ”
The old man named Leguo glanced at Jia Chao with a complicated expression, shook his head and said:
"Why do you think priests can do divination?"
Jia Chao: "Uh...... Didn't the priests know divination? ”
Lego smiled, "Of course the priest doesn't know divination!" The priest is only responsible for the sacrifice, and only the wind whisperer can divination! ”
Jia Chao was speechless when he heard his words, it turned out that the stubborn stone was really a magic stick!
"Well, old man, since you are a priest, you must know how to manage your clansmen very well. How about you to lead the old men and children who came with you? ”
Lego nodded and said, "No problem, but I hope that Chief Ah Chao will keep your promise and help me save my child." ”
Jia Chao nodded, "Don't worry, as long as we have his information, we will go and rescue him immediately." ”
Leguo got Jia Chao's promise, turned around and walked towards the place where the old men and children were.
Because they had two bison, the tribe generously gave them a lot of food.
They set up a bonfire in a clearing next to the woods, cut the bison into small pieces and roasted them.
As a result, before the barbecue was ready, it was dark, and heavy dark clouds hung over the sky, as if it was about to enter the night in the next moment.
Immediately after that, a light rain fell, and Jia Chao immediately asked everyone to hide in the woods.
It didn't take long for the bonfire that the clansmen had set up in the clearing went out.
In desperation, Jia Chao had to take out the dried meat from the Linghai space and hand it to the clansmen.
To Jia Chao's surprise, the group was not interested in his salted jerky, but rushed into the rain to bring back the half-cooked meat skewers.
"Hey! Don't eat that raw meat, old man! It's going to have diarrhea! Jia Chao dissuaded.
However, they didn't take his words to heart at all, and took those meat skewers to themselves and ate them happily.
Seeing this, Jia Chao had to rush to them and forcibly take down those meat skewers, "Why are you disobedient!" ”
Leguo and the other old people looked at Jia Chao with aggrieved expressions.
"You young man, why don't you know to be considerate of the elderly?" An old woman who looked about the size of dimethoate spoke.
She pointed to the five remaining teeth in her mouth and said, "Do you think we can eat those jerky?" ”
Jia Chao: "......"
A moment later, smoke rose from under several trees.
Jia Chao asked Heye to use his ability to build some simple earthen stoves, and these earthen stoves were set up with clay pots.
Jia Chao asked the people to stew beef in a clay pot, and some wild fruits collected in the woods were added to the pot.
The people who were accustomed to seeing the clay pot stew were lying or sitting in some dry places, while the dimethoate was curious and pointed around the pots.
The children are fine, and they can still coax their stomachs by crooking their mouths and tearing at the dry jerky.
A group of old people who had been hungry for a long time smelled the smell of the "goo-goo-goo" clay pot, and their saliva flowed to the tip of their beards.
When the beef was finally stewed, Dimethoate wanted to reach out and open the lid, but was stopped by Xingyue, who had been guarding the side.
Xingyue took out a clay bowl, spooned a bowl full of broth, and handed it to Dimethoate.
"Hot! Eat slowly! Blow, blow! ”
Xingyue said to Leguo very seriously.
Lego took the pottery bowl with a grateful face, looked at an old woman beside her, and handed the bowl to her with a doting face.
"You come first! Listen to the little girl, eat slowly, be careful of the burn! ”
The old woman unceremoniously took the pottery bowl and put her mouth to the edge of the bowl, and then the dimethoate next to her said again, "Blow!" ”
The old woman was stunned for a moment, blew honestly, and then took a sip of the soup.
The next second, the old woman was scalded by the hot broth.
"Ho ho ho! Ooh! Hohoo ho! ”
She let out an uncomfortable roar in her throat, but her hands were held steadily, and not a drop of soup from the clay bowl was spilled.
At this time, I only heard Leguo scolding beside him:
"Burn you stupid! Let you come first, you will come first! ”
Jia Chao, who had been watching the excitement from the side, almost spit out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this.
What is the relationship between the old man and the old woman? At first, I thought it was a white-headed couple who grew old together, why did they come out like this?
Compared with Jia Chao's melon-eating mentality, the mentality of Hongya and other clansmen is much more serious.
They enthusiastically gave the old people chopsticks and taught them how to properly scoop meat from clay bowls and how to wait until the broth was cold before drinking.
Soon the old people learned to eat with chopsticks, and the children joined in eating the stewed broth.
None of the Red Tooth fought with them, but waited until they were all finished before boiling their own boils.
After this meal, it was getting dark.
Jia Chao asked everyone to use animal skins to build sheds in the forest that could shelter from the wind and rain, and everyone squeezed together to make do.
Those who did not have sheds were given several earthen holes.
These holes were made by the river leaves with their abilities, like pockets, and the mouth of the bag was raised above the ground to prevent rainwater from entering the holes.
And the clay stove above the earthen cave is lit with a bonfire, which makes the earthen cave warm.
When everyone stopped, Jia Chao began to communicate with Da Lang.
"Did you find the son of the dimethoate?"
While nibbling on wild fruits from nowhere, Da Lang sorted out and passed on the information collected by the intelligence team to Jia Chao.
Because it is real-time information, the information passed on by Dalang is very scattered, but it is very important.
Because this information all points to a clue, that is, the black lizard tribe.
To Jia Chao's surprise, there were almost 2,000 people sent by the Black Lizard tribe to the Baimu Grassland.
They divided into eight squads and plundered the grasslands, and the team that had attacked the Yanshi tribe was only one of them.
Judging from the information gathered by the intelligence team, it seems that they all already know about the Yanshi tribe, and several teams have begun to come this way.
"Boss, look at the news from the gray girl!" Just when Jia Chao was still sorting out those fragments of information, Da Lang sent another piece of information.
The message from the Grey Girl is that there is a cave where many women are being held.
There were less than fifty people guarding the cave, and the leader of the team was a fat woman of about two hundred pounds.
The fat woman was lying in a grass nest, and there were three sturdy men huddled in the grass nest.
Among them was a tear-stained man with a high ponytail with his hands on his chest, his face full of indomitable and angry.
Jia Chao raised his eyes and glanced in the direction where Leguo was, and basically determined that the man was Leguo's son Shuoshi.
Because the two of them are so similar, they only look like they have a long white beard.
"Where's Grey Girl?" Jia Chao asked Da Lang.
Da Lang closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then raised his head to look in the northeast direction.
"Over there! It won't be long before the thunder element form passes! ”
Jia Chao nodded, "Then let's hurry over while it's dark!" ”
When Da Lang heard this, he immediately transformed, "Is it called Xingyue?" ”
Jia Chao shook his head and said simply: "Don't scream!" ”
As soon as he said this, a cold feeling crept up his back.
Jia Chao slowly turned his head, only to find that Xingyue was staring at him from a tree not far behind him.
Xingyue jumped down from the tree to beside him, stretched out her right hand and poked his chest with her fingers.
"You're the chief, what are you running around! If you want to go, I'll go! ”
Jia Chao was slightly stunned and said:
"Where are you going, little girl?"
Xingyue: "I'm more experienced in fighting than you!" How many people have you killed? ”
"Uh......" Jia Chao was stunned, although he had participated in a few battles, but it seemed that he had actually killed people last night.
That person was the only one who was killed by him in the true sense, and the rest died at the hands of Xingyue and Da Lang.
Thinking of this, Jia Chao said to Da Lang: "Take care of Xingyue!" Don't take all those people with you when you come back, or you won't be able to run fast!" ”
Da Lang nodded, and was about to set off, but he heard an old voice next to him shouting:
"Wait!"
