Chapter 86 (1/2)
When ye Xi woke up, he felt his feet cold. Looking down, he found that the water had already covered the instep of his feet.
By this time, the thunder has stopped outside, and the rain has become much smaller.
But the sky was still dark, and the dark clouds in the sky blocked the sunlight.
They carry their prey back on their bodies.
This time, when you have time, you can tie it with tenacious rattan. Xiaote, a terror beast, bears the weight of two brown bears, which makes it much easier for others.
In the jungle.
After a night of torrential rain, the jungle seems to be flooded again, low-lying areas, the water is directly to the knee.
The ancient trees are as green as if they were submerged by the clear water. There are also a few small fish that swim up from the river because of the rising of the river.
The soldiers and xiaote were blocked, and Jiaojiao looked like a fish in water, faster than before.
In the light rain, walking on the clear and shallow streams in the forest, we returned to the tribe.
At this time, there was no one in the open space because of the rain.
Chief Yong and others were standing near the entrance of the cave. Seeing that they had come back completely, they strode out with joy on their faces.
”Are you all right? Last night thunder was so big that we were on our nerves all night.” Yong and they take their prey as they ask.
Luo's prey was picked up by the Cang pan, so he finally wiped the rain on his eyes: ”the thunder was really dangerous yesterday, but we were lucky to run into the cave in time, but we were not struck by the thunder.”
The porpoise habitually went to the cave, and found that at this time the cave was full of water, just like flowing into a dark river: ”ah, our cave is also flooded.”
However, the cave is low-lying, which is also predictable.
”Yes, it rained heavily last night. The rain kept overflowing through the cracks. Lying down can completely submerge people. Last night, we all sat and slept.”
”So we moved to the top of the mountain this morning.”
I'm a soldier of the hunting team.
It was really impossible to sleep in the cave like this. Ye Xi remembered that there was something left in his cave, and he said, ”then I'll take my things out.”
Yong stopped him: ”don't go, you cave things, we help you to move to the top of the mountain.”
Now that everything has been moved to the mountain, people do not say much, and go straight to the top of the mountain.
The soil on the mountain is soft and sticky by rain, and it is a deep pit when you step on it.
Xiaote was a dreadful beast. It was not very agile to climb the hillside, let alone the slippery ground. His huge body almost fell over. It was Pu Tai who pulled its tail and pulled it back.
On the top of the mountain.
More than a dozen simple and heavy blue stone houses stand crisscross in the rain.
In the middle of these big blue stone houses, there is an unfinished house. The people of the tribe are busy around, carrying out the final repair.
Many of these busy people were tribal slaves, and most of them were female slaves.
Although the primitive tribes would take care of women, female slaves were not in the scope of care. They would do some heavy work only for men.
But pregnant female slaves are different. They can rest in the house and do some light work.
Ye Xi saw that there was a big stone vat in front of each stone house. He asked Yong, ”Uncle Yong, what is this for?”
”Stone jars are used to catch rain water for dry season.”
”Why don't you put in more tanks?” Ye Xi counted them and found that there were only about 20. He remembered that there were fifty stone VATS in the tribe.
Yong's eyes showed helplessness: ”once the water in the tank is put for a few months, it will stink. If you drink it, you will have diarrhea. In the tribe, you have even drunk it to death. So it's no use saving too much. It's enough. ”
Ye Xi suddenly realized that the people in the tribe didn't know how to purify the filtered water. It was not distilled water. How could it be kept for so long.
A group of soldiers stood in the middle of the big blue stone house, and the chief assigned their houses one by one.
”Luo, antelope You guys live in this house. ” The chief pointed to one of the bluestone houses.
”Lidu, Hulu, Jiao You guys live in that house. ”
……
”Ye Xi, Pu Tai, cone, Tu dolphin, let's live together. Let's go.”
There are more than 200 people in the tribe. Time and place are limited. It is impossible to build a house for each family.
At present, there are about 20 ordinary people living in a room, 30 slaves living in a room, and witches living alone in a room.
With so many people living together, we can imagine the accommodation conditions.
But the tribal high-level still has preferential treatment, there will be fewer people in the room. Ye Xi was a disciple of the sorcerer, and Pu Tai was a second-class soldier.
The father who died was a second-class soldier of the tribe, so he can live in this house as a family member.
As for the Tu dolphin, it was the chief's son, not to mention.
Ye Xi and the chieftain followed them into the ancient blue stone house.A warm and dry breath suddenly came.
The ground of the stone house was also covered with thick bluestone slabs, but a square bare ground was left in the middle, which was built into a small fire pond, and the bottom was covered with dry firewood to light the fire.
