Chapter 69 (1/2)
Because it hasn't been a year, the cave is full of dust and spider webs. It looks a little dirty.
The soldiers cleaned up a little.
Lidu spread a piece of animal skin on the ground and let Ye Xi sit down.
Ye Xi was used to the tribal treatment and sat on it without any hesitation.
The rest of the soldiers could not rest, and they began to deal with the prey that came in today.
The soldiers dissected the prey, threw away the viscera and drained all the blood. They have to reduce the weight of their prey as much as possible before they can bring more back.
There was a smell of blood in the cave.
The sky outside is full of dark clouds, and the sky is completely overcast,
booming.
After a long time of brewing, the first thunder broke out.
Before long, it began to rain outside, and it was pouring rain.
There was a smell of mud in the air.
The soldiers drenched the dissected prey in the rain.
They need to remove as much blood as possible from their prey, so they don't get caught by predators on their way back.
I don't know which stone pot to wash after washing. After building a simple stove with stones by the fire, boil the meat soup in a stone pot.
Gulu Gulu, bubbling in the stone pot, the smell of meat diffuses.
The soldiers chiseled several rough wooden bowls with wood. Each of them filled a large bowl of broth and drank it.
They were hungry and thirsty after such a long time of hunting, and a pot of broth greatly comforted them.
Outside, thunder rumbled and heavy rain continued. Soldiers in the cave drank broth and chatted.
”How about xiaote? Has he been eaten by the leopards?” Ye Xi turned his head and asked Pu Tai.
When being chased by the leopards, they had no choice but to climb the trees. But xiaote was huge and could not climb trees. Pu Tai had no choice but to let him escape by himself.
He was a little worried about Xiao Te, but Pu Tai was very busy until now, when ye Xi found a chance to ask Pu Tai.
Xiaote is Pu Tai's favorite. You can feel whether xiaote is alive or dead.
Butai shook his head. ”I can feel it's not dead. At that time, we were the target of the Leopard Group, and we would not attack xiaote specially
”Why do leopards attack us?”
Ye Xi has some doubts. If leopards choose other targets to attack, the success rate will be higher. Why choose them? And so persistent? In the end, he didn't even want to cross the cliff to attack them.
Pu Tai said with a wry smile: ”last year our hunting team killed their leader by mistake. This year they probably came to revenge. I didn't expect that they would hold such a grudge. Dahong even fell off the cliff. ”
Speaking of this, ye Xi looks a little gloomy.
When the soldier fell off the cliff with the panther in his arms, he wished he could save him.
”Don't be sad. It's common for soldiers to get hurt or even die in hunting.” On the contrary, Pu Tai comforted Ye Xilai.
”If I can shoot two arrows at once, maybe he won't have to die.”
”It's not your fault, ye Xi.”
Ye Xi pulled the corners of his mouth and didn't speak. He just decided in his heart that he must practice bows and arrows when he went back home. If he came across such a situation again next time, he would not be helpless.
Pu Tai was aware of Ye Xi's self reproach. He stopped and asked, ”have you found that there are few older soldiers in the tribe?”
Ye Xi was stunned.
In this way, yes, it seems that there are not many soldiers over the age of 50. The soldiers over 60 can even count them with five fingers.
”They...”
”The death rate of soldiers is really high.” Pu Tai sighed, ”especially for small tribes like us who are not powerful.”
Pu Tai looked out of the cave. The dangerous jungle was covered by rain.
