Poison brother in ancient times

Seeing the ruthlessness of the war beasts, the people in the tribe lost their self-righteousness. They avoided it and found a leeward place to light a bonfire, roasting the dried meat they brought.

Looking at the bonfire, Hunting Ax frowned into a pimple, because he was so focused on thinking that he only ate a bite of the meat he was holding, and it was unknowingly cold in his hand.

"Abba." Lie Yan whispered from the side.

"what?"

"We can go to the Mao tribe to invite witches and war beasts."

"Are you here?"

"Come here...will you be fine if you come here?"

"The war beasts of the Rong tribe and the Mao tribe are too weak. The Mao tribe doesn't allow meat to be eaten, and their witches must want us to give Mao or Rong more help when they come."

Hunting Ax finished the dried meat in two mouthfuls. He didn't look down on Hunting Rock.However, Liehei and Lieguo let the most beautiful woman in the tribe not want them, and the future patriarch was wrong. He even went to Liexing and Lieguo personally to tell Liexing and Lieguo that the three of them could live together. Pack your things and leave!

Therefore, his daughter could only have a baby with Lieyan.Lie Mao didn't act according to his ideas, because she was Lie Mao, a great witch, and the oldest and wisest person in the surrounding tribes, and Lie Mao had to bow her head even if she was not reconciled.But the two of them are just two cubs, and they dared to fight against Hunting Axe, but they can still live without incident until now. Hunting Axe thinks that he is merciful enough.

But now his kindness has not been rewarded.In fact, what makes Hunting Ax the most incomprehensible is why can Hunting Fruit and Hunting Hei survive?Did they hide their prey last spring and summer?But... Lie Ax glanced at Lie Yan, he was the last thing he wanted Lie Hei and Lie Guo to come back.There are few things that Lie Yan has done that can make Lie Ax nod, but Lie Ax believes that no one in the tribe can do better than him when it comes to asking for food for Lie Hei and Lie Fruit.

So, how did they survive the winter when there was not enough food and one more child?Even looking at the conditions of those four people just now, this winter has been pretty good?Could it be that they were being offered food by war beasts?Then, why would the war beasts who have been supported all the time prefer to hunt and feed the four wastes by themselves rather than continue to live a comfortable life in the tribe?

"Abba! Someone is back!" Lie Yan suddenly yelled and stood up.

Hunting fruit and the others dragged the deer all the way back, but fortunately there was still snow, otherwise half of the deer's flesh and blood would have been worn down along the way.

On the side of the tribe, Lie Yan and the few warriors he had befriended, who were always stuck with hunting their prey, took it for granted and wanted to go over to take over the prey.But this time, things are not so good.Erha, who stayed behind, rushed out in an instant, guarding the prey, the companions and the owner's family who brought back the prey. They bared their teeth, stared wide-eyed, and tensed their bodies. They didn't howl, but there were bursts of guttural sounds in their throats. , all of which mean that they can launch an attack at any time.

Because they are almost at the entrance of the cave, this is me, Bai Rui and Lie Xing are already leaving by themselves, and at the same time they are helping Papa Guo pull the deer.

Looking at the situation, the expressions of the three members of Bai Rui are all subtle.

"Lieguo..." Lieyan was a little annoyed, and wanted to ask for it.

"Come back!" Hunting Ax didn't stop Hunting Rock at first, because he wanted to try it out, but Hunting Star obviously didn't intend to give it.Is Lie Yan's further entanglement trying to make the situation worse?

Lie Yan took people with him, so he had to go back reluctantly.

The three of them didn't look at them either. The deer was too big to be pulled into the cave.Hunting fruit drove the two children into the cave, and dealt with the deer and wolf at the entrance of the cave.It turned out that he didn't dare to do this, because he was afraid of attracting other carnivores.Of course, there are not many opportunities to do this. Every time I go home, I can always "run into" the clansman. Most of the hard work of the day is gone because the other party is merciful.In fact, the day they picked up Bai Rui, they also met the tribe, but Bai Rui was unconscious all the way, unaware that hei papa and fruit papa, who seemed to have a bumper harvest that day, still only brought back a small amount of prey.

After dragging it all the way, the deer and wolves were already frozen stiff, and the blood that had not been cleaned up was already frozen in the blood vessels. Such meat would be unpalatable, but the primitive people didn't care about this.

A wolf directly shared the food with the Erhus who stayed at home, and the hunting fruit was peeling the deerskin beside it.

The people in the tribe were drooling when they saw it. It was fresh meat, which was many times more delicious than the jerky in their hands.Except for the mid-winter when hunting is impossible, the early spring when the land has not fully recovered is also the most difficult time for hunting.There are few objects to hunt, and it is not only humans who are hungry and thirsty after a winter of dormancy.Even human tribes often became the target of hunting at this time.

Based on years of experience accumulated by the hunting tribe, unless there is a shortage of food, the action to be taken at this time is to continue hiding in the cave like winter.Even so, there will occasionally be beasts coming to the door, and then it will be up to the beasts and warriors.But that was in previous years, today there are no war beasts in the tribe...

"Lieguo, as long as you return to the tribe, I am willing to step down from the position of patriarch." Hunting Axe comforted in the most gentle and harmless tone.

Lie Guo was startled, and looked up in disbelief.

"The ceremony of electing the leader needs to be presided over by the great witch. As long as you go back and Bai Rui becomes the great witch, you can choose another patriarch for the hunting tribe."

Lie Guo and Lie Hei had some disagreements. If the patriarch came today and killed Bai Rui and Lie Xing, he might persuade other family members in private instead.But the performance of the patriarch completely broke the impression he had always given to Lie Guo. Was Lie Guo moved?Believe it?

No wonder!

He has always felt that tribes are safe, which is true, because a large number of people can reduce danger and obtain more resources.But the patriarch's performance was too false.The false hunting fruit that has always had nostalgia and illusions for the tribe has also produced a serious sense of crisis.Realized that if he went back, how good the patriarch said now, and how miserable their family would die by then!Lie Guo's only hope and trust in the tribe was completely burned at this very moment.

Can they not know what's going on in the tribe?If the people in the tribe were to choose who to be their patriarch, most of them would only choose the hunting axe.Because they don't know who else can be the patriarch except Hunting Axe.And they fear that the new will bring change.Maybe that change is good, but what if it's bad?The tribe has lasted for a long time, and everyone lived a stable life. They knew when to live and when to die, and they all lived according to their own laws.

——The primitive people who seem to be desperately looking for all means to keep themselves alive are actually very conservative and afraid of change.

The other part is the minister's confidants, especially some of them don't even need to take turns to hunt, and only need to perform the safest task of protecting the village, but they can get the most and the best food at any time, and they will undoubtedly choose the patriarch .When Liehei and Lieguo were still in the tribe, although there were still some people who had dissent, but now, there are not many of these people left, and when Liemao died, they would not be able to play any role.

Lie Guo felt that his mind was much clearer than before. If they agreed, Bai Rui would have become a great witch by then, and Lie Ax would be elected fairly by the tribe again.Could Bai Rui leave at that time?Thinking about Bai Rui's character, well, it seems that he can do it...but why bother?

"Leader Hunting Axe, you've been out for a while, right? You should be in a hurry without you in the tribe?" That means, don't waste time here, where should you go to cool off.From now on, live on your own.

After speaking, Lie Guo lowered his head and continued to cut the deerskin.

"Father Guo, let's help." Bai Rui and Lie Xing came out suddenly, and Lie Xing handed Lie Guo a cup of hot soup. It is a very happy thing, not to mention the hot soup cooked in "that pot".

Lie Guo didn't refuse, took the cup, blew on the hot air, and drank it.

Lie Xing took over his position to skin the deer. Bai Rui hadn't done this before, so he didn't rush to get started, but learned by heart.The deer's neck and two front legs were broken, but there were no signs of biting. Bai Rui was studying the dead deer while learning how to skin it from Xing Xing, when the hunting ax on the other side refused to give up. He said: "Xunxing, your father is still in the tribe, and you have a younger sister. If there is no big witch and no war beast in the tribe, many people will die, the young and the old will die first of."

"My father is Lie Guo and Lie Hei." Lie Xing didn't even look at the patriarch, and his movements were coherent without any pause, but in fact he also had his own thoughts.

He and Bai Rui were abandoned by the tribe in the same situation, but Bai Rui was thrown out by a stranger, but he was carried away by Abba.At that time, he was sensible and memorized, and he had seen the truth of death. He knew what his father was going to do when he carried him outside.No matter how painful his feet were, it could not compare with the fear of death.He cried in his father's arms, begging him not to abandon him, and his father's answer was to cover his mouth and nose with his hands.

"Lie Xing, it hurts too much to be bitten to death by a wild beast. Let your father kill you. After you die, your flesh and blood will not be given to others, and your father will eat you little by little."

In fact, it was a long time ago, and his father's appearance is blurred now, but what his father said, his tone, and the coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow that he felt at that time, Xun Xing How can never forget.

When he was about to suffocate, Papa Hei and Papa Guo appeared with what little property they had, and they wanted to take Xunxing away.This time his father gave the answer "I want the back hide of the horned ox".

On that day, Lie Xing lost a father and had two new fathers.

***

A cripple who shouldn't have survived turned against him!Although his heart had already exploded with anger, his face showed only sadness and sincerity.

"I have agreed to all the conditions you asked for, but our great witch is still unwilling to return to his tribe?"

Seeing his appearance, Bai Rui felt his teeth sore: "You didn't agree to our conditions at all. In fact, it is obvious that our real condition is that you, take your daughter, and leave the tribe. This is the essence of our conditions. .will you leave for the sake of the Horde?"

"Don't go too far!" The hunting ax could no longer pretend, "You take your daughter out of the tribe, and I will immediately bring the war beast in." Bai Rui stood up, stared at the patriarch, and asked again The people behind the patriarch, "Is the patriarch important, or the great witch and war beast?"

The patriarch subconsciously turned his head to look at the clansmen he had brought, including Lieyan, when others caught his gaze, they all dodged a little.

Most primitive people still don't have so many twists and turns in their heads, but are very straightforward, and they can even be said to be cruel.If the patriarch is gone, he can be re-elected in the tribe. If the great witch is cut off, he can go to other tribes to invite one, and the war beast... although the war beast can also go to other tribes to invite back.But looking at the erhas who ate a mouthful of blood right in front of them, and thinking about the war beasts of the Mao and Rong tribes, these warriors suddenly felt complicated—the war beasts and the war beasts are also different, Erha Although they can't compare with the rock lizards of the Rock Mountain tribe, they are also the strongest among the three nearby tribes.Because of this, they can be the strongest tribe.If Mao or Rong's war beasts come, will they still hunt?

It is said that the patriarch has made a lot of contributions to the tribe over the years. They have been the patriarch for several generations, and the patriarch is also very good to himself?These sounded pretty good before today, but after today...

In order to survive, to save food, and to live a better life, people in the tribe can abandon many people, seriously injured, sick, old, unfamiliar, their relatives, and even one day, they will choose Abandon yourself too.

Hunting Ax understands what his clansmen think, after all, he has been the clan leader for a long time.Seeing the expressions of the soldiers, a kind of panic spread.

Hunting Ax has also abandoned many people over the years, but it doesn't mean that he is also a person who can abandon himself, and he is even extremely afraid of being abandoned.He wanted to die in the tribe, from old age or disease, with his family by his side.Hunting Ax never told anyone about this.But this fear has never been the original intention of his efforts to keep his position.He wants his daughter's blood to become a great witch, because he knows very well that only a great witch can enjoy the end of old age and death.Even if the tribe is destroyed, as long as they have the ability of witches and war beasts, they can go to other places without any worries.

"Alternatively, you can also choose to leave the tribe. Now there are war beasts and a big witch like me here, so building a new tribe is actually just short of manpower." After having friends, Bai Rui thinks that Father Guo should have the same meaning.

Those soldiers didn't even dodge the sight of the hunting axe anymore, but looked directly at Bai Rui.One of the most daring ones even asked the hunting axe: "Patriarch, are you going to Mao or Rong to invite war beasts?"

The meaning of this question could not be more obvious - if you go to invite war beasts from other tribes, then we will leave.

Although the current primitive people have a sense of belonging to the tribe, this sense of belonging is not the national consciousness of later generations. Even though the people of the hunter tribe have lived together for many years, if a major change occurs, the foundation of the tribe's existence will be shaken, such as now In this way, the disintegration of a tribe is nothing more than a blink of an eye.

"We're going back to the tribe. These things need to be discussed with the elders." The patriarch had nothing to say. How good he had imagined, how much the reality hit him.However, now it's just a matter of taking the next best thing. This little thing doesn't make him take his daughter out of the tribe!

***

The patriarch finally took the people away, and when it was dark, Hei Pa and Lu Kui came back with the rest of Erha with more wolf carcasses.

From the looks of it, that pack of wolves was simply extinct.That night, it was no surprise that Bai Rui witnessed the "fight" between Hei Pa and Guo Pa, and the intensity was unprecedented.Bai Rui fell asleep amidst regular crackling sounds.

What's more, although Dad Guo got up the next day, his walking posture was obviously wrong like never before, and what's more, the white spot on Dad Guo's thigh...

You can't blame Dad Hei for not washing Dad Guo. It would be an idiot's behavior to go out to take a bath at night in primitive society.In the morning, the two fathers still went out with a basket of water on their backs. In fact, they were just outside the cave. After a short while, the sound of slapping came again, and it turned out that Guo’s father was carried in by Hei’s father. .

Bai Rui was so embarrassingly embarrassing, but Lie Xing was very calm, and even made breakfast when the fathers and Bai Rui subconsciously focused on eavesdropping.

"Daddy Hei, don't lose your energy as soon as you have some strength." Lie Xing scolded his fathers very seriously.

"What does the little guy with no hair know? He's been holding back for a whole winter..." Hei Dad looked full and satisfied, and shamelessly put himself in the loincloth in front of the two children. (very majestic) crotch, and then stretched comfortably.Then he sat down and took the cup full of hot soup that Lie Xing handed over.

"I've grown hair!" Lie Xing argued seriously, and then glanced at Bai Rui whether intentionally or not.

"..." QWQ As for mentioning Mao, do you think of me?I will grow hair!I certainly will!I...Bai Rui touched my scalp, then jumped up from where I was sitting in excitement, "I have grown hair!"

"Ah?" Liehei, Liexing, and even Guo's father, who had just recovered a little and got up to drink soup, all looked at Bai Rui.

In other words, although Lie Mao gave Bai Rui five animal teeth, in fact, even Bai Rui himself didn't know how big this body was.He hadn't had much contact with children, so at first he thought that this little body that couldn't walk steadily was only one or two years old.
