Chapter 24: The Deeper the Stream
Chapter 24: The Deeper the Stream
Yu Xing looked at the little girl's dark eyes, full of curiosity. No different from an ordinary little girl.
He took out a piece of paper wrapped in two pieces of brown sugar. But there was a trace of reluctance in my heart.
I can't bear it.
This is the trophy of the last war. In order to prevent the recurrence of the last hypoglycemia, Yu Xing took it with him, and he was reluctant to eat, and he just climbed the mountain and collapsed, so he ate a piece.
This kind of brown sugar is made by local natives. The process is backward and there is not much sweetness. In the later generations, Yu Xing must have thrown it away when he saw it. At this moment, it is a treasure that he can't give up.
But if you want to deal with the parents of the child, you have to deal with the child, and the best way to deal with the child is to give candy.
As it turned out, it worked too well.
After all, the sweetness of this era is too precious.
The little girl took the candy and put it in her mouth, and the whole person smiled, her eyes narrowed together, and she was very happy.
At this time, there was suddenly an inexplicable human voice: "Gurgling, gurgling, quack," which sounded to Yu Xing, it was an indistinguishable voice, but the little girl also said loudly: "Da Da Du." ”
Suddenly, the surrounding vegetation moved a few times.
Several people walked out.
They were all dressed in animal skins, like savages.
Yu Xing swept over a few people, and immediately made a judgment in his heart, the genetic characteristics are the same, the age level is the same, and it is likely to be a big family dominated by patriarchal elders, with no more than double-digit males at most, and women who are equivalent to this. This is a typical model of a family-based gathering, fishing, and hunting society.
This couldn't help but remind him of a few old professors he knew who loved fieldwork, and listened to them complain that every time they investigated the primitive society, they had to go abroad, and it was difficult to apply for funds.
If they saw this, they would probably go crazy with joy.
After all, going abroad and being at home are two dimensions of the problem from the perspective of applying for funding.
The little girl ran to a tall wild man, muttering words that Yu Xing didn't understand, this tall wild man discussed with the people around him, and an old wild man with a stiff figure walked over slowly, his tone was very strange, but it was indeed Chinese, he jumped word by word and said: "Han people, leave, our home." Otherwise, we're going to get our hands dirty. ”
Yu Xing was overjoyed when he heard it, and it was a good thing to be able to communicate. Yu Xing said: "We are just going to the southeast by the road. Yu Xing was afraid that he didn't understand the southeast defense line, so he immediately pointed to the southeast.
The old man said: "The Han people are not credible, for your sake of the doll, we will not do it." You, must go immediately. ”
Fourth Brother Wang sneered and said, "Who is afraid of whom?" ”
While speaking, a few people came up, and Chen He was the third to come up, and immediately drew his knife when he saw this. Get ready to get your hands dirty.
When the old man saw this, his eyes were terrified. Several wildlings also gathered together and took up arms. Only two or three of their weapons were made of iron. Everything else is sticks and spears. As for the iron weapon, Yu Xing could no longer see the shape. I can only feel that the black thing is iron.
Fourth Brother Wang and Chen He are both lieutenant generals and colonels in the army, and their martial arts are not ambiguous, and they fight head-on, and these savages are not opponents at all.
Yu Xing immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense. Yu Xing saluted and said, "Old man, we are just borrowing the way. Nothing else. How will you lead the way for us, I am willing to give a reward," he said, taking out two pieces of dry food and not handing them directly to the old man. Instead, it is placed on a large stone on the side.
The old man carefully took it and took a bite. After hesitating for a while, more and more people saw them coming up. With a sigh, he stretched out his two hands and said, "Ten pieces." This one. ”
Yu Xing said: "Deal." ”
Fourth Brother Wang said: "Why bother, these are only a few savages." ”
Yu Xing looked at Fourth Brother Wang, and suddenly realized that Fourth Brother Wang subconsciously did not actually treat the wild man as a human being. Killing this kind of brute, he doesn't feel like he's killing someone.
At this time, Yu Xing suddenly remembered what he had heard before, he was barbaric and unreasonable, and anyone who entered their territory would be killed.
But now social research knows that any society will have rules for how it operates. Even if they are cannibals, they don't eat people casually, they have a set of rules. This kind of indiscriminate killing of people without mercy is not impossible.
There was only one possibility, and they made a feud. And it's a deep hatred.
Yu Xing said: "Don't make extraneous branches, it's important to get down to business." ”
With the help of these savages, the next road is indeed a good walk.
Many times, the road is not for people to walk in the first place. It's for wild animals, and this natural path is the animal path, and in the rainforest, elephants often carve out their own path. It's the same in the mountains.
However, only hunters familiar with the area can find it.
Along the intermittent beast path, they suddenly came to the top of a mountain, but saw that at the foot of the mountain, the rolling water was gushing endlessly, splitting the mountain peak and flowing eastward, and the opposite peak was only a mile or two away from them, but it was close to the end of the world.
Looking further southeast, it was dinner time, and the large smoke of cooking was particularly conspicuous in the deep mountains.
Serimu looked at it and said with certainty: "That's Mangbe over there." ”
Yu Xing looked at the surging river and said secretly: "This is the Chishui River." ”
Seeing that there was no way out in front of him, Fourth Brother Wang was immediately furious, and made a move on the old savage, but was stopped by Yu Xing, found twenty bags of dry food, handed it to the old man, and said, "Thank you." ”
The old man looked at the dry food and said, "You are different from other Han people, I thought that I would die, here." ”
Yu Xing heard the old man say this, and only then did he realize that the old man let the other savages leave quietly. Only then did I understand that the old savage believed in Yu Xing, and found that there were many people around Yu Xing, and he couldn't beat him, so he pretended to obey, just to let his relatives leave.
He never believed in the Han Chinese.
Yu Xing said: "In the world, there are always good people and bad people. I'm a good person. ”
The old savage stared at Yu Xing with cloudy eyes, and then slowly left.
Fourth Brother Wang said: "Son, he led us to a dead end, and let them go like this. ”
Yu Xing said: "Fourth brother, you look at the direction of the Chishui River, and you have made a big circle here, and you can't get around. From here, we can't find any other place to cross the river. ”
Fourth Brother Wang stared at it for a while, and had to admit that the Chishui River was like a dragon, in the middle of the lofty mountains and mountains, it rushed out of a road, but the mountains on both sides of the bank were continuous, and there was no place to cross the river. said: "Then how do we get there?" Isn't it possible to fly over? ”
Yu Xing said: "Yes, this is the easiest place to fly over. ”
How to fly over?
Yu Xing began a series of dazzling operations:
Yu Xing chose a few big trees, and everyone worked together, rushing to work overnight, and the next day, a big crossbow appeared on the mountain.
Yu Xing also uses the same line of thought, not thinking about problems such as wood cracking.
This large crossbow is modeled after the three-bed crossbow in design, but there are many improvements, after all, the wood is freshly chopped. This kind of wood has not been treated, and there will be many physical properties mountain defects.
The other thing is the bowstring.
There is no beef tendon, only hemp rope.
This forced Yu Xing to use his genius strength to make a lot of designs, such as disassembling the hemp rope, re-weaving, using a tighter topology to increase strength, and so on.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Yu Xing could only exert the things in his hand to the limit.
And because it is used for too many temporary disposal methods, Yu Xing understands very well that the eyeliner, a bed crossbow, can fire three arrows, which is really a protection from heaven.
Of course, even if something goes wrong, it's nothing. It's just a matter of retaking time. It's just another one.
The sky is slowly brightening.
The sun seems to rise from the soles of the feet, and the sunlight takes care of the Chishui River for the first time, and the Chishui River Valley seems to be a golden corridor.
Yu woke up and held his breath and held a wooden hammer. Standing behind the bed crossbow, he looked at it for a long time. Suddenly, a hammer fell. The spear flew out. At the end of the spear was a thick hemp rope tied to it, and the spear carried the hemp rope together and carried it over the Chishui River hundreds of meters.
Suddenly tied to a big hugging tree opposite.
Because the distance is so far, even the sound is very slight.
With a "plop", Lu Shishi knelt on the ground, and he was shocked and didn't know how to express it.
He was afraid of death and surrendered to Yu Xing, although he was frightened of the combat effectiveness of Yu Xing and his party, but he was not particularly convinced by Yu Xing's gang. And the leader of more than a dozen of their captives was taken together to march in the mountains, and Lu Shi still had some contempt.
Without him, the mountains and forests are his home.
Lu Shishi's understanding of mountains and forests is deeper than that of these Han people. At one point, he was even ready to flee.
It was the appearance of this group of savages that made him discourage the idea of escaping. Because with his experience, there must be a lot of savages peeping on the periphery of the team at this moment. Savages have never been good at talking to those who invade their territory. I just saw that there were a lot of them before.
I only dare to watch, but I don't dare to challenge. And at this moment, if he escapes alone, he will have to face a dozen, if not more, of savages.
It's hard to say what will happen.
Lu Shishi didn't think that he would definitely die, but he must be uncomfortable. And more importantly, where to leave here? And go to be a dog for Azie? He didn't want to, but it would be difficult for him to live without his people, in the mountains, unless he became a savage.
But a fool is willing to be a savage, to eat and sleep in the open, and to live like a wild beast.
Although these captives also ate Ganoderma lucidum, in the end, the culture deviates from that of the Han people, and the effect of Lingzhi on them is not too great. But he was shocked by what Yu Xing had done at this moment.
Yu woke up and said that this is the basic operation. Otherwise, it would be in vain for him to study for many years.
For the Han people, what Yu Xing did, although it is incomprehensible, there are some things that they do not understand. But the most basic concept is still clear, this is technology. Although it is miraculous and magical, it is still technology.
