Poison brother in ancient times

Chapter 105

The warm lips left, Bai Rui couldn't help but want to catch up, but Lie Xing, who took the initiative to start the kiss, stopped him for a while, and Bai Rui looked at Lie Xing disappointed and aggrieved.

Lie Xing smiled, and tapped his lips: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because a large number of people ran away when they saw them, there is really no need to tell you. A small number—I guess they saw them when they came to the walking marriage before—initiated to find them, but the first few People, have found signs that they are eating people."

"It's not just the black mud tribe..."

"The black mud is probably the worst, but I don't know if it's because of them. Most tribes here have that habit. Especially after the catastrophe, hunting people is much easier than hunting animals. So I let the babies put These guys were expelled, and I killed those who had to follow. When I met them later, they were all expelled. So, I think it’s better not to tell you these things.”

"..."

Seeing Lie Xing's frown, Bai Rui raised his hand and rubbed it: "Don't worry, most of those immigrants have never eaten people. If they have eaten people, they are lucky and sneaked in. But nothing like that will ever happen in our tribe in the future.”

After the nine people woke up, Bai Rui went to see them. He wanted to secretly learn their language and then eavesdrop on something, but the nine people didn't speak at all.They ate and slept in silence, and when they were released, they still kept their lips tightly shut.If Bai Rui hadn't used the X-ray system to confirm that they were healthy, they might have really thought they were dumb.

The fishy winter is finally over! ~(≧▽≦)/~However, when the days were getting longer and longer, Bai Rui and Lie Xing discussed to change the tribal managers who were originally called group leaders into elders, because everyone called them elders for several months. , still feel weird.

They explored around a bit, and finally just started to build a tribe on the spot.

However, no matter whether everyone showed a smile or a serious face, they were all very serious in their hearts—there was no snow in the whole winter.

The spring of this year passed quickly, and it seemed that there were only two days before the scorching heat had arrived.The eleven groups of people in the tribe have their own jobs, such as hunting, fishing, cooking, deer and bird herding, planting sugar cane, ginger and pecan fruit, as well as weeding and building houses. Individuals are busy every day.

The mother tree has re-rooted, and there is a small pond under its roots. Every day, someone is arranged to ride a centipede to fetch water from the black lake where the water level is getting lower and lower every day. .And the small pool seems never to be filled, how deep it was when it appeared on the first day, and how deep it is now.

The first real house in the tribe was built, a mud embryo house, Bai Rui looked a lot like the simple granary of the later generations, with a cylindrical bottom and a round roof above.Under the house is a hole in the ground, which can be used to store food, and can also be drilled to hide when needed.As for this house, Xunxing gave the oldest couple in the tribe to live in, and the subsequent houses were also arranged according to age.

When everyone lived in the house, there was only a small patch of green around them under the shade of the mother tree.

Even if there is a flood, the drought that should have come has come.

"Aw~ Aww~~" This is a little Erha who is still walking unsteadily, pure white like a hairball that can't tell the head from the tail, the little face is serious and cute, and even if it keeps rolling , also moving towards the outside of the shade.But before the tip of his nose touched the light, a wrinkled woman carried it back and stuffed it with several little rabbits.

Under the shade of the trees, it is now a kindergarten for the cubs during the day.Outside the shade of the mother tree, there are several simple umbrella-shaped grass pavilions. Some old people are now inside, or grinding stone tools, or weaving straw ropes, and also looking after these children.In fact, the cubs of war beasts are more naughty, and human children have already started to learn to do things after they are three years old.

Now, Bai Rui was standing by the mouth of a cave, with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed.

"Bai Rui, be careful that you get sick from the sun."

Bai Rui opened his eyes: "Father Guo, you should take a look at yourself first, your skin is peeling from the sun."

"Drink some water." Father Guo raised his eyebrows, and handed a wooden cup to Bai Rui.

"Yeah." The water Papa Guo handed Bai Rui was lukewarm, and it had an inexplicable strange taste. At the end of the drink, you could clearly feel the residue of sand on your tongue, "Papa Guo, the water in the Black Lake How's the situation on the side?"

"I don't know what the black swamp you saw looked like back then, but now I see that place is the black swamp. Those giant frogs have to retreat to a farther place, and now they can't be seen. But the little snake can still show us the way. However, tomorrow we will probably go to fetch water from a farther place, and now that we fetch a basket of water, it will take up to [-]% of the time to bring it back.”

"Too much mud?"

"Too much mud is one thing. There will always be splashed water along the way, and there are broken baskets or broken leaves that have not been found. But generally speaking, it's okay. How are you doing here?"

Bai Rui's cave here is not a cellar created by expanding the living area, but a water well.The mother tree can store water, but there are so many people in the family. After the food is stored crazily by everyone, it is more or less a little bottomed out, but drinking water and planted plants are absolutely not enough to rely on the water stored on the mother tree. .

In fact, Bai Rui has asked centipedes and spiders to dig seven or eight wells recently, but for some reason, every time they are so unlucky, all the wells they dig are bitter water.Judging from the reactions of the babies, they can drink the water. In this day and age, there is no need to worry about the groundwater being bitter due to pollution. However, Bai Rui decided to continue digging. After all, people and his babies have different physiques.

Bai Rui communicated with Jin Jiao below: "It's still close, but we should be able to dig through it before tonight."

"Don't rush too much."

"Father Guo, go and rest."

Guo Pa shook his head: "It should be possible to transport water."

Bai Rui opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't persuade them much. At this moment, everyone was squeezed by the urgency of survival, and they made contributions to the tribe in every way they could.If the whole tribe survives, they can survive, but if they cannot survive, in this environment, it is absolutely impossible for a single individual to survive.

The two hunting teams hadn't returned yet—the three teams took turns to hunt, and now Maoshou's team was guarding the house.So now the biggest source of food every day is Guoba's water fetching team.

In addition to fetching water, the water fetching team will also bring back all kinds of stranded fish, snails, shrimps and crabs in baskets facing back, and some weird aquatic animals.Today they brought back a fish with eight legs and a body length of more than ten meters. Its legs looked like frogs, and there were webs between its toes.When Lie Guo was about to leave, he told Bai Rui that he was going to go farther tomorrow, but he was wrong. He led the team back, and there was only wet mud in the place where there was muddy water. They had to go forward. Just found this fish stranded in the mud pond.This fish has no teeth, but judging by its size, it is hard to believe that it is a vegetarian.Bai Rui spent a "wonderful" winter in the smell of fish, and actually has a little psychological shadow on eating fish.

But the people of his tribe were obviously not so picky. Seeing the big fish let out a burst of cheers, they went to disembowel the fish.Bai Rui asked someone to call both the mountain peak who was in charge of farming and the Mao Wu who was in charge of grazing, and shared the fish together, then he turned to ask Papa Guo: "Papa Guo, do you want to stop fetching water? Go ahead , and probably something else.”

"Don't worry." Father Guo rubbed Bai Rui's head, "Your father, I am an old hunter."

"Ai." There is no way, Bai Rui can only sigh, and Hei Dad can't do anything if Dad Guo is stubborn, "Dad Guo."

"Ok?"

"Ginger for you, it's good for hair growth if you rub it on your scalp, so can you stop pulling my hair?"

"..."

"Papa Fruit! Papa Fruit! Keep your head... ouch!"

_(: 3ゝ∠)_Father, you can’t bully your son just because I have hair and you don’t! !

***

The well dug that night was still bitter, and two days later, the two hunting teams came back one after another.

Both teams came back lying down. Fortunately, there were only serious injuries and no deaths.

——When they first arrived, the three witches gathered together and piled up all the medicines that could be found that were useful for treating trauma, and researched a medicine.Not only did most of the cloth in the tribe be taken out, boiled in medicinal soup to make bandages, but also medicinal powder was made for them to carry.

After Bai Rui took two mouthfuls of Gu Wu, these wounded were of course alive and kicking again.On the night when the hunting team returned, a big bonfire was lit in the tribe. Fruits and meat were piled up around the bonfire, and everyone sang and danced around the bonfire.

This period of time is too depressing, and everyone needs a feast to relax.

But everyone here refers to ordinary tribal people. The tribal managers had quietly left in the middle of the banquet and gathered in Bai Rui and Lie Xing's house.

They brought back a lot of prey, but this was not a good signal.After all, their place is close to the Black Lake, so it is actually too late to experience the impact of drought, and large tracts of plants farther away have already withered.Many herbivorous animals have empty bellies, but they are supposed to eat themselves smooth for the breeding season.The predation area of ​​​​the carnivores began to become chaotic, because a large number of herbivores either died or migrated, so the predators had to move with them in order to fill their stomachs.Once the herbivores die in large numbers, the time when the carnivores will go hungry is not far away.

"Mao Shou's team doesn't need to go out anymore," Lie Xing said.

Mao Shou was a little unhappy, but not in a negative way, and he also knew that the outside would become more and more dangerous now.

"Mao Wu, we brought back a few pairs of animals this time, let's see if they are good for you." When everyone fell into a heavy silence, Dad Hei suddenly said.

"Okay!" Mao Wu's eyes lit up, and he nodded hastily.

When Mao Wu and the others were together with Bai Rui, they looked down on breeding the most. Even Mao Shou and Mao Wu who supported Bai Rui at that time probably only looked at Bai Rui's face.But now, although Mao Shou is still a little confused, Mao Wu is the most active.Because it is obvious that although the things you keep consume some of the plants, for example, in times of famine like now, it is life-saving food.

I also have a pair of deer, and the feeling of having two pieces of meat is completely different.

After a short rest, the two teams who came back will also be assigned to work. After discussing where there is still a shortage of manpower, they dispersed.

As soon as they left, Bai Rui and Lie Xing rolled around the bonfire in their arms, tossing and tossing until late at night, before the two of them lived together.Bai Rui cleaned Lie Xing's body with water before getting close to him.

"Did the well you dug succeed?"

"No...it's all bitter. Yesterday I let Jinjiao Yinjiao rest for a day, and I plan to try again in a different direction today. Go to sleep, don't worry."

"Don't worry, I know, we'll be fine." Lie Xing smiled slightly with his eyes closed, turned around, and stuck closer to Bai Rui...

"Crack!" Someone came in, and at the same time, a mouth-watering aroma began to waft in the room.

"Father Guo?" Bai Rui, who was pressing on Lie Xing, and Lie Xing who was under pressure raised their heads at the same time. Father Guo, who was about to walk inside, simply stopped and put a large piece of barbecue meat wrapped in leaves on the table. Next to Hunter's head.As soon as you ask about the aroma, you know that the fresh soup in "that clay pot" was poured before roasting.

"I'm here to bring you some food, you two go ahead." Father Guo patted Bai Rui's buttocks which had already been wrapped around his waist, the voice was really loud and crisp~ When Father Guo left , The two looked at each other, struggled between the two kinds of gaps, and finally sat up together, each of them grilled half of the meat, and started to chew.

Over there, when Papa Guo returned to his room, he saw Papa Hei lying on the ground with his back to him. Papa Guo leaned over and poked Papa Hei's waist: "Are you angry with the child?"

"No, I'm mad at you." Papa Hei turned around, "Those two boys are independent, yet you even sent them barbecue."

Papa Guo pinched Papa Hei's face: "With your expression, those who didn't know would think that the 'two boys' you mentioned were your enemies."

Papa Hei hugged Papa Guo immediately: "Snatching food from my mouth, is it an enemy or something?"

"What about the man who saved his own food for his son?"

"I don't know, I didn't see it anyway."

"Here." Guo's father was helpless. In fact, it was only his fault that he teased Hei's father just now - he smiled subtly when he was grilling, and didn't say anything. In the end, Hei's father thought it was for him to roast, and he was full of heart. Waiting on the side expectantly for a long time, who knew that the grilled meat was only for him to smell, so Papa carried it to the next door.Can you bear it? !

Guo Pa thinks about Hei Pa's horrified and aggrieved eyes when he walked away with the meat. He clearly knows that he is right and that this person is pretending to be stupid, but for some reason, he just feels guilty.

"For what? I'll give it all to you..." It was an oily fruit. It smelled like it should have been processed, so Dad Hei snatched it up.

"Eat meat or fuck me?" Papa Guo asked while tugging at Papa Hei's hair. He has become more and more fond of this action recently.

Hei Papa licked his tongue and didn’t talk nonsense. He had already pushed Guo Papa down~ A few days later, the water transport team stopped carrying water, and they encountered more and more carnivores on the road, especially picking up food When the time comes, the crowd will disperse, and there will be more and more conflicts with wild beasts.Affected by the drought, the surrounding small water sources have probably dried up, and the animals in the vicinity (no one knows how far this neighborhood is) have slowly migrated to the vicinity of the Black Lake.Even with centipedes and spiders following, accidents can still happen.In addition, as the water line drops day by day, the time they spend going back and forth is getting longer and longer, which further increases the danger.In the end, it was also because Jinjiao and Yinjiao dug the first sweet water well, so they don't have to worry about drinking water.

When Bai Rui officially announced that the well water was drinkable, almost all the people in the tribe who could put down their work crowded around the well. Even if the well was surrounded by a stone fence, a few people were squeezed in.Fortunately, Bai Rui had the foresight to let the centipede guard below, otherwise the two and three would definitely be drowned.

Everyone in the tribe breathed a sigh of relief when the fruits of the centipede's labor expanded to five sweetwater wells.

However, he breathed a sigh of relief, but Bai Rui began to worry.

——The bugs don't have enough food.

It turns out that the prey here is very plentiful, enough to feed everyone, but the drought is getting more and more serious, and the animals migrate and die in large numbers. If the food is opened for Bai Rui's babies to eat, even if the drought passes, this place will be dead for a long time.And not only the ones on the shore, but also the giant frogs and small snakes started to have troubles. The area of ​​the black pool is getting smaller and smaller, and because of the previous flood, there are many fierce beasts that are not here to stay to avoid the warm current and compete for territory. The chaos is not over yet, and now a more pressing existential crisis looms.The giant frogs and small snakes that no beast was willing to provoke, especially the giant frogs, have gradually been regarded as fat.

The little snake can find a place to settle when it goes ashore, but the giant frog is extremely dependent on water.

"Jiujiu~" Dagua Ertai squatted in front of Bai Rui, if it wasn't for the lack of tear glands, these two guys would have been crying loudly.
