Chapter 2 (1/2)
Like the iron tower, the massive primitive tribal chief came over.
When he stood in front of Ye Xi, the sense of oppression like a mountain suddenly came to his face.
He looked up and down at Ye Xi and said in a deep voice, ”you said you found a kind of edible plant? If you cheat me, you can't bear the consequences. ”
The tone is very calm, but ye Xi has already smelled the cruelty under this sentence.
The primitive tribes are short of food. Every year, many people die of hunger in any tribe.
Because this is a primitive jungle with giant insects, dinosaurs and fierce beasts, competing with these terrible creatures for food Think of Ye Xi's scalp tingling.
The hunting risk is high, and the harvest is not fixed, so the plant has become one of the important rations of the tribe. At present, the known edible plants are explored by countless tribesmen at the risk of poisoning. Every plant found is very precious.
So we can imagine why even the chief came to ask questions when he heard Ye Xi say so.
Ye Xi nodded and affirmed: ”when I was eight years old, my father amum died. I lived on the fruit of that plant.”
Ye Xi lied. The reason why his body could live so big was that his relatives pitied him and helped him occasionally.
But he has to say that now in order to enhance his credibility, and he has to say it without being guilty.
”How far is that place from the tribe?”
”About three or four miles.”
When the chief heard this, he immediately turned to the stone axe strong man on one side and said, ”horn, put him down.”
The strong man named Jiao carried Ye Xi down from the pillar.
The lack of water and food made Ye Xi a little unstable, but years of habit still made him stand straight: ”thank you, chief.”
The chief ignored him, turned to point to Ye Xi and yelled to the men around the bonfire: ”this slave claims to have found new food!”
Everyone was quiet for a moment, and they all looked over.
These tribesmen, especially the men around the bonfire, have the momentum and eyes like fierce beasts. When they are staring at their prey like fierce beasts, ye Xi's hair is erect all over his body.
The chief yelled at the crowd: ”cone! Bin pan
The two named tribesmen immediately stood up and said, ”yes! Chief
”The two of you will go with this boy tomorrow. If he lies, he will be roasted alive!”
All the tribesmen stood up, thumped their chests and shook their arms, and exclaimed excitedly, ”roast alive! Live roast! Live roast...! ”
Looking at the scene in front of him, ye Xi felt cold.
……
The sun was setting and the sky was darkening.
Before nightfall, all the tribesmen cleaned up the food scraps and traces on the square and walked into the cave.
This is a very hidden and large cave. Half of the cave is hidden underground. All the Tushan tribesmen enter the cave to rest at night.
Cave wall is gray black rock, feel very hard, the ground is black soil, and the cave outside the dry soil, more humid.
Although the entrance of the cave is small enough for only one person to pass through, the space inside is extremely large. The cave top gets higher and higher as it goes inside. In the sight of Ye Xi, the top of the cave even reaches the height of two floors.
Ye Xi stood at the entrance of the cave. Looking inside from where he stood now, he could not see the depth of the dark cave.
I don't know how long it will take to dig such a big cave.
The tribesmen work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Once the sun sets, all the tribesmen are required to enter the cave. After the evening, they are all shut out and never open again.
All the people of the tribe seemed to have their own specific sleeping area and went straight to their own territory. Ye Xi stood there and did not know where he was arranged.
”Hey, can you tell me where I sleep?” Seeing that no one came to explain to him, ye Xi had no choice but to hold on to a man.
