Original War

Chapter 9 The Most Beautiful Word in the World

The fish that Shao Xuan dragged ashore the second time was slightly larger than the one just now. Without the help of the soldier, he stabbed the fish with a spear. Shao Xuan stunned the fish with a stone. This fish will not live long either.

He tied the fish with a rope and hung it on a tree. Shao Xuan took out the small fish that had been pierced up earlier and found a few dry branches.

Looking around, Shao Xuan found that the two warriors who were in charge of guarding the river bank were looking at this side curiously, and he raised his hand and beckoned.

The two soldiers who returned to the guard point hesitated, but couldn’t restrain their curiosity, and walked over.

“A Xuan, what are you doing? Do you want to eat? Do you want me to help?” The soldier who fished the fish before was gearing up. He had already asked Shao Xuan’s name and said.

They were both jealous and curious about the creatures like “fish”, but now that the fishes are all dead, the jealous emotions are gone, leaving only the hunter’s curiosity about new prey.

“I’ll come here! You were responsible for killing you just now.” Another soldier squeezed the former away, took out the stone knife and snatched the fish over, broke his stomach, and discussed with his companion.

“Huh? Is this the intestines? How can it be so short…”

“Where’s its stomach? Is it this?”

“No, it’s this, this must be the stomach!”

“Be careful…what is this? Don’t break it, I don’t know if there is a poison sac…”

“Where’s the heart? Look forward to the knife… Hey, can you do it, the fish blood has flowed so much, the knife is unstable, no, let me come…”

The two fighters over there were discussing fiercely, and Shao Xuan, who was standing next to him, cried out.

Is this a hunting warrior? This f*ck is actually a forensic quirk, right?

Two anatomy enthusiasts with excess curiosity!

No matter how broken Shao Xuan’s impression of these two people is, I have to say that these two people are really good at anatomy, and even if they are only the first fish in contact, they can quickly resolve them. While dissecting, they also talked to Shao Xuan about the things they should pay attention to when they kill their prey when hunting in the forest, such as which animals have poisonous internal organs, which carry poisonous sacs, which animals have more delicious internal organs, and so on. For unfamiliar creatures, for safety’s sake, they never eat offal.

Soon, all that was left was a fish with its internal organs hollowed out, its head opened several times, and its gills dug out.

“There’s not much edible part, but fortunately, it’s pretty decent.” The soldier with a stone knife wiped the blood on the knife and said.

Instead of washing them in the river water, the two soldiers just wiped the blood stains on the fish with leaves, then wrapped the fish innards with leaves, and dug a hole next to a tree to bury them. The smell of blood may attract other things. It’s okay in the tribe, but on the river bank, besides flying in the air, there may also be creatures sensitive to the smell of blood in the water. They have to be cautious and mention that Shao Xuan will meet in the future. Similar things must be followed.

The tools used in the tribe to make fire were not as primitive as Shao Xuan had imagined at first, but a kind of powder. Every soldier has that kind of powder on his body. When he wants to ignite, he will take out a spoon-shaped stone tool and a stone pestle, put a little powder into the spoon-shaped tool, and use the stone pestle to quickly grind it in there. , And soon the powder will burn, and the spoon-shaped tool will become a small torch to light dry grass and branches.

Shao Xuan was very surprised when he saw the grid lighting the food in the cave for the first time. Originally, he thought that such a tribe would use drill wood to make fire, or use flint and the like, but he didn’t expect it to be so convenient. Fast tools. The children who live in the cave do not have such a firearm. They have to wait until they become fighters to stand on their own before they have their own firearm.

Sometimes when looking at this tribe, Shao Xuan would feel a weird contradiction, as if the technology he mastered was incompatible with the current development of the tribe.

Doubts go to doubts, and now Shao Xuan has not delved into it.

After grilling the fish, one of the fighters tried a bit and was sure it was okay. After the taste was good, the three of them ate the fish separately. This food was not enough for the two fighters, and Caesar was still not very keen on cooked food. After eating a little, he was not interested, only Shao Xuan was satisfied with it.

After eating the fish, the fish bones were taken by the two fighters, saying they would keep them as a souvenir. Shao Xuan felt that these two people actually wanted to take them back to show off with their teammates on the hunting team.

After the two soldiers continued to stand guard, Shao Xuan took Caesar and dragged the dead fish tied with rope back to the cave.

The sky had darkened, and some of the children in the cave had already fallen asleep, and the rest were brewing sleepiness, or waiting for Shao Xuan to return.

There is a fire in the cave. Every day, the grid that transports food will come over to light a small fire in the evening to let the children in the cave warm or bake food, etc., to make fire for the children in the cave. After the fire is extinguished, it will be Shao Xuan’s turn from now on.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Shao Xuan asked Caesar to wait outside the cave, while he took a deep breath and strode into the cave.

The child who had not yet fallen asleep was a little older, surrounded the fire and didn’t know what he was thinking. When he saw Shao Xuan coming in, his eyes moved along with him. Shao Xuan could feel these hostile sights. After all, today Shao Xuan grabbed the position they had thought about for a long time.

After Shao Xuan entered the cave, he climbed onto a large millstone-shaped rock near the entrance of the cave. This is usually the place where the library is used to divide food. Standing on it, you can see every part of the cave.

The older children all gathered around here. Shao Xuan glanced at them and clapped his hands, “Get up, get up if you haven’t slept!”

Except for those who slept too heavily, everyone else in the cave gradually surrounded.

Seeing people coming, Shao Xuan looked at the few people in front of the station and said: “I know you are not convinced, and you are not willing to take over the position of the library. You want to drive me down and come up by yourself. At this time, you will wait for me without sleeping. Well. But! This is Uncle Ge’s final say, what are your dissatisfaction, grievances, suggestions and comments, don’t confront me, it’s useless, there is a kind of you go to Uncle Ge!”

The few children standing in front frowned, obviously thinking about the feasibility of finding a grid. Looking for a chat? Will Ge be angry? Will you stop sending food when you get angry? Do I have to go hungry without food? This doesn’t seem to work. After all, I am older and think a little bit more than other young children.

Shao Xuan glanced over there and continued: “Have you ever thought about why I can take a seat in the library? I am younger than you, not taller than you, and not strong enough for you. Why did Uncle Ge let me take care of it?!”

“Because I am stronger than you! I am more capable than you!” He said loudly and forcefully, and his face didn’t need to change color when he lied. How does Shao Xuan know what the person in charge of delivering meals thinks? He also plans to have a good talk with Ge tomorrow. It’s just that at the moment, what he has to do is to pass the current pass first, and shake the group of little “wolf cubs” in the cave well, otherwise he must prevent them from making trouble together.

It’s not that Shao Xuan doesn’t want to use a more modest way, it’s just that these little guys are too difficult to do, and reasoning won’t work. According to Shao Xuan’s observations, things decided by Ge will not change for a while, so, Since he let Shao Xuan take charge of this hole, it will definitely last for a while, or even longer. Shao Xuan solved the trouble right from the beginning.

The people standing in front showed anger when they heard Shao Xuan’s words, and one even raised his eyebrows with anger, but before he could say anything, Shao Xuan yelled back, “You shut up!”

After speaking, Shao Xuan shouted outside the cave: “Caesar!”

Caesar, who was waiting outside the cave, bit the straw rope and dragged the tied fish in.

The people in the cave focused their eyes on Caesar who entered the cave, and it was not until Shao Xuan went to fetch the dragged fish that he noticed that there were other things pulled into the cave.

“I hunted this stuff!”

Shao Xuan untied the straw rope tied to the fish, revealing the fish’s true body, and holding the fish’s tail vigorously to let the group take a good look.

Many fish have no eyelids and cannot blink their eyes. Even if they die, their eyes will open wide.

Under the not-so-bright firelight, the fish’s originally red eyes looked a little weird and gloomy. The big open mouth closed one after another with Shao Xuan’s hand swinging. The surrounding children could see the inside of the fish’s mouth. There are countless sharp teeth, and the scales of the fish body are rubbed off with dust, and they reflect cold light. These all add a touch of coldness to the originally cold night.

The closest children who were humming at Shao Xuan couldn’t help taking a few steps back. At the same time, they looked at Shao Xuan’s gaze from the initial provocation and hostility. Be cautious.

The tribe advocates the strong, and the powerful warriors in the tribe will be worshipped by the whole tribe, and often they like to use some simpler and more direct methods, such as violence, when solving problems. But in addition to fighting directly, you can also judge the difference in strength between the two sides based on your respective prey. The prey you hunt is better, proving that you are stronger than others.

But now, the children in the cave are all children who have not yet awakened the power of totem, have not yet become totem warriors, cannot go hunting, and cannot get prey at all, unless they are robbed. Not to mention getting such a hideous prey.

It’s not easy to deal with at first glance. Look at that tooth, how much meat can be lost after being scraped.

“Can you hunt? Can you hunt such prey? Or can you get other food?! You? You? You? Or you?! Who can do it?!”

The children who were spotted by Shao Xuan shrank back and shook their heads.

“You can’t! Since you can’t, just hold back all your dissatisfaction and all your emotions!”

Give a sweet jujube with a stick, and of course you have to soothe the cruel words.

Shao Xuan lifted the fish.

“This is the gift I gave to everyone on the first day I took office!”

After Shao Xuan finished speaking, the cave was quiet for a while before a child trembled and asked, “What is a’gift’?”

Another older one continued: “Can you eat?”

Shao Xuan choked, “…Yes.” His heart was really tired.

coax–

The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became warm.

What dissatisfaction, what cautiousness, and what resentment emotions are all thrown away.

“Eat”, for them, is probably the most beautiful word in the world.
