Chapter Twenty-Six: Stone Village

Shi

The red sun sets in the west, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the whole stone village is dyed with a layer of pale golden brilliance, the ape roars in the distance, and the large stone houses here are as sacred and peaceful as ancient temples. Dozens of people appeared on the horizon, pulled by the setting sun on the ground to make a long shadow, and the outline of the body was set with a golden edge by the sunset, looking extremely tall and majestic, almost everyone dragged a huge beast, full of loads.

The children playing at the edge of the village shouted loudly, alarming the whole village.

"I'm back, I'm back. Uncles, uncles are back!"

In the stone houses, some people came out one after another, both old and young, all cheering.

Several old men stepped forward and asked, "No one died in the Great Wilderness?!"

"I was lucky enough this time that I didn't meet a big guy who was strong enough. Everyone came back safely, some of them were slightly injured, but they didn't get in the way. However, Shi Lin was seriously injured and broke more than a dozen ribs, and I am afraid that it will take several months of recuperation to recover. We also brought back a child by the way, who saved the stone forest. Shi Feilong, who was the leader, waved his hand and laughed heartily.

Every time they hunted in the wilderness, people died outside, and to the west of the village was a large grave, and the old man of the village died. There are also young people who died outside from hunting behemoths. The people of the village would bury them there.

This hunt can be a very successful hunt in Stone Village, and only one Stone Forest was seriously injured. This is a very good result, the stone village has not had a good harvest for several years, and no one has died, which is a very fortunate thing for a small village.

Among the old men, an old man with blue-gray hair and a white beard walked out, patted him on the shoulder, smiled, and praised: "Yes, yes! Very good, I haven't seen so many prey in a long time." The injured person is easy to do, and if it is serious, carry it to my yard, and use the medicine for the flesh wound in his own house, if it is gone, go to my yard to get it. ”

This old man was the head of the village, named Shi Yunfeng. The old man was full of energy, his body was very tough, and he walked like an old man. But there is a very short black line between the old man's eyebrows, which is quite strange.

Women who are mothers and wives quickly step forward. Find your own man in the returning ranks. Check your physical condition to see if the injury is serious.

A boy who seemed to be thirteen or fourteen years old threw himself next to a simple stretcher, which was stained with blood, shocking. It was the stone forest lying on it.

The boy and the stone forest seemed to be father and son, seeing his father like this. He burst into tears.

"Abba, Abba. How are you, are you going to die? Don't scare me. ”

"Why are you crying, don't you see that I'm still alive?! I didn't cry so sadly, so that others thought I was gone! Look at you, you are fifteen years old, and so many of your uncles and I are beginning to hunt for the village at your age. You're as thin as a monkey. If you don't eat more, how will you survive in the wilderness in the future!"

Shi Lin said this, his eyes widening. Picked up the big hand like a fan and made a gesture to fight, but in the end it didn't fall for a long time, watching the child cry so sadly, touching his head, I don't know how to comfort.

There was also a woman standing in front of the stretcher, her hair disheveled and her eyes red. The placket of his chest was wet with tears. She leaned over, touched Shi Lin's face, and asked softly.

"Brother Lin, how are you?

"It's not too painful, and it's resistant. Don't worry, with the village chief here, I can't die even if I want to......" Shi Lin replied patiently.

The woman was in a hurry, and her fingers sealed his lips, preventing Shi Lin from continuing.

Blamed softly and said, "Don't say anything that can't die, it's unlucky." ”

Two men walked next to him and said to the family: "Let's carry Brother Shi Lin to the village chief's yard first, and we will send it back later, and we will have to trouble my sister-in-law to take care of it at that time." ”

One of the men teased the child in the stone forest with a smile on his face before carrying the stretcher away, "Stone monkey, your father is right. You're as thin as a monkey, so remember to eat more at the campfire in the evening. ”

Not to be outdone, the young man responded: "You are like a monkey, your whole family is like a monkey! Don't look at me like this, I have a lot of strength, I can lift the two hundred pounds of stone grinding in the center of the village!"

Shicun is a small village consisting of just over 100 households. It is a very small tribe in the Great Wilderness, and all the people who live here have the surname Shi, and there is no other surname. The people in the village are very kind, helpful and humble to each other. Let this small village be unexpectedly united, so that it can survive in this great wilderness where fierce beasts are rampant and poisonous insects are everywhere.

The old people in the village began to decompose the prey on the spot. Bright red beast blood stained the ground, red and bright, with a pungent smell of blood. The beast's thick and long fur, the flickering scales of the cold light, and the hideous giant horns were shocking, and there was a tragic aura of desolation.

The young men of the village also came to help, with silver knives in their hands. Slashing at the corpse of the giant beast, it clanged and sometimes sparks flew everywhere. The bones of these behemoths are unusually hard.

Find someone who has prepared a special clay pot, and then go to these beast bloods. There are several ancient recipes in the village, and these blood can be used as great medicines to refine, which is very extraordinary.

These are all precious blood that cannot be wasted, every drop is exchanged for the lives of the people of Shicun, of course, not all beast blood is very useful. Only blood that grows in a special location can be called precious blood.

For example, the big bird with a trace of Qingtian Peng's blood, its blood is at its heart, the flying python with wings, its blood is under the wings, and the blood of the white jade dragon elephant is on both sides of its teeth.

These are all handled by the old people in the village themselves, for fear that those young people are ignorant and waste these precious blood.

It's not just the blood that's useful, it's the fur of the behemoth. There are also bones that can be used by the people of Shicun and will not be wasted.

An old man divided the pair of treasure teeth of the white jade dragon elephant. Handed it to the young clansman on the side, he instructed: "This pair of treasure teeth is a treasure medicine for bone replenishment, grind it into powder." Put a little in a bowl of water and give it to Shilin to drink, one bowl a day. If this continues, his injuries will heal quickly. ”

"Well, this fierce bird has a very good light feather. Just as the arrow feathers are running out. Let's take this instead. "It was the famous marksman of Ishimura who broke down the birds, and the old man moved up and down in unison, and soon the birds were decomposed in a short time.

"Old man Shi Yi, I hunted this bird, and I have to keep a little more of that feather!"

The person who spoke was really Shi Feihu.

The old man named Shi Yi was not very happy, blew his beard and glared: "Good things should be filial to the master first, do you know or not." If I hadn't taught you archery, you stinky boys would have been able to hunt it?"

"What, it's obvious that I'm talented. ”

Old man Shi Yi glared at Shi Feihu fiercely again.

"Alright, alright. Master, you old man will be merciful and leave me a little bit."

Ishimura was full of cheerful laughter. Having enough food meant that the people of the village no longer had to go into the wilderness to hunt these terrible beasts of prey. There is not bloodshed. The women and children no longer have to worry about the hunters.

Half an hour later, the experienced old men had collected the blood that had grown on the giant beast's body. They nodded, satisfied with the harvest, and left with the special clay pots.

"Some of these prey are pickled, some are dried. Don't waste it. The old man of the village spoke.

The corpses of the giant beasts are like a small mountain, and there are so many. The people in the village can't finish eating for many days, so they need to store it.

The woman brought various tools from home and began to divide the meat, and the smile on her face groaned, which was a smile from the heart. Earlier, frightened, they prayed for the men to return safely. Now the men have returned safe and sound, and they have brought plenty of food. This is the best gift from heaven.
