Chapter 88 (1/2)
On the top of the mountain.
The crowd rushed into their respective stone houses.
As ye Xi and Jiao Jiao, who finally arrived, also ran into the house, the chief stretched out his arm and held up a heavy stone slab to block the door.
Primitive people could not make hinges, so the stone house was not equipped with the kind of door that could be opened and swung up. Usually, when sleeping, it was just blocked by a heavy stone slab.
Of course, the principle of hinge is very simple, ye Xi can also teach them how to do it. But he thought it was a small matter. If he wanted to do it, it would take a lot of effort. It would be better to block it with a stone slab.
There are no windows in the stone house, but there is a small gap in the side of the house. When the door is blocked at night, it is used for ventilation.
After running into the house, the others quickly grabbed a piece of hide and blocked the gap.
This water centipede can't climb in any more.
Pu Tai put down the stone bucket he was carrying when he was just evacuated: ”wait a moment. If you can't bite people, they will go back by themselves.”
The cone looked at the stone bucket and found that the fish in the bucket was almost full. If it wasn't for these water centipedes, they might have stabbed another bucket: ”these insects are really annoying. They are not strong, but because of the large number and poison, we can't do anything about them.”
Pu Tai: ”it's like this every year. Forget it, I'm used to it. After a long time, they will go back by themselves.”
Jiaojiao was bitten by several water centipedes. As soon as he entered the house, he lay stiff in the corner, and without turning up his body, he lay upright in the room. Fortunately, the room is big enough for it to lie like this.
Ye Xi was worried.
The chief comforted: ”it's OK. After tomorrow, the venom of the water centipede will fade, and then it will be OK.”
Since they couldn't go out for a while, they simply stayed in the house and chatted about the mountain.
A few people began to talk about what they had encountered in the rainy season.
It was the first time that ye Xi had gone through the rainy season, so he did not speak. He only listened to their conversation with interest.
When Yong and his men finished speaking, the women who had married from other tribes also talked about it.
Some of the stories about the rainy season are wonderful, some are interesting, some are breathtaking. However, they have talked about these experiences before. I don't know how many times. Except ye Xi, everyone is tired of listening to them, so they ask Ling to talk about them.
Ling was newly married to Tushan, and she told stories that we had never heard of. Ling's eloquence is also very good, breathtaking things in her mouth become more exciting, happy things in her mouth more people laugh.
The child was teased to giggle and breathe in exaggeration, which made the adults very happy.
When ye Xi heard their story, he was surprised. He only hated that he didn't have a bag of melon seeds in his hand. Otherwise, he would be more comfortable eating melon seeds while listening.
”Whoa, whoa --”
all of a sudden, a piercing baby cry sounded outside the house.
Where did the baby cry?
Several people looked at each other.
Is it from another room? The sound is not very similar to it. I feel like I'm outside the house
Ye Xi took out the hide from the gap in the wall and pulled out the dagger in his waist to deal with the water centipede that might come in.
After waiting for a moment, there was no water centipede crawling in along the gap.
So ye Xi put his eyes near the gap and looked out of the gap.
Suddenly saw the scene outside, ye Xi was startled.
There are still dense groups of water centipedes on the ground at the top of the mountain, but between these water centipedes, I don't know when, there is a huge ugly monster standing!
The monster is seven or eight meters long. It is similar to a newt in appearance. Its skin is gray and black, and its whole body is covered with rock stripes. Its mouth is extremely cracked and its long tail is thick and flat.
