Chronicles of Primordial Wars

What is this answer?

Lighting still looked at Shao Xuan cautiously. Undeniably, knowing that he was a member of his own tribe, he felt a little more relaxed, but he would not completely believe it. He may not be outstanding in other aspects, but his memory is very good. Like other unawakened children in the tribe, what he likes most is to stare at the people who go out every time the tribe goes hunting, and then privately share with others. Children talk about famous people up and down the mountain together. Even if they are not famous people, they will always have some impressions if they can't remember their names. But for the person in front of him, the lighting has no impression at all.

Although he believes that Guangyi will not bring in people who are a threat to the tribe, Lighting believes more in his own memory.

"I haven't seen you." Lighting still had one hand behind his back, where a holstered dagger was tucked into his waistband.

Shao Xuan didn't care, and found that there was only one kid in the room, he was not in a hurry to clarify, and planned to tease the child. The children here are more alert than those of the other Yanjiao tribe, perhaps because of the more complicated living environment. After all, that part of the Yanjiao people have lived in isolation for nearly a thousand years, and their thinking is relatively simple. many.

Pulling over a square wooden stool, Shao Xuan sat down and looked at the situation in the room.

The area at the foot of the mountain should be a relatively ordinary family in the tribe. Looking at the living utensils, there are not many people living there, maybe there are only two brothers. Although the things in the house are simple, compared to the Yanjiao tribe that Shao Xuan lived in, the people here come into contact with many kinds of things. There are cloth bags hanging on the walls, and some composite or metal tools, and there are fewer pure stone tools. a lot of. There are clay bowls, clay pots, etc. on the table, and there is a large clay water tank in the corner on the ground. Also painted pottery.

Seeing Shao Xuan observing the things in his house, Lighting took a half step forward and took a deep breath. He seemed to be encouraging himself, and his voice became louder: "Who the hell are you?"

"My name is Shao Xuan."

"Shao Xuan? Never heard of it! Are you really a Flaming Horner?" Lighting still hasn't awakened. His ability is limited, and his perception can't be compared with that of Guangguang. Therefore, when Shao Xuan did not use the power of totem, he could not judge whether Shao Xuan was a Yanjiao person, and he didn't even have a vague feeling.

It was the totem pattern on Shao Xuan's face who answered the light. Because he was wearing cloth and animal skin, the totem pattern on his arms and other places was not obvious. It was late and the light was not good, so the lighting could only see the lines on Shao Xuan's face.

The totem pattern is a very powerful proof, which is more effective than saying a thousand words. Seeing the totem pattern on Shao Xuan's face, Lighting finally took a deep breath and spoke much more easily.

"Where do you live? I haven't seen you before, and why did Guangyi bring you to my house?" Lighting also pulled a stool cut into squares and sat down,

Ask Shao Xuan.

"I was wandering outside and was arrested by Guangyi and brought back. He asked me who I was, and I said my name was Shao Xuan, and then he brought me here." Shao Xuan spread his hands. Expressing his helplessness, "Does your brother look a lot like me?"

Lighting shook his head violently, "It doesn't look like it, it doesn't look like it at all. But Uncle Guangyi can't recognize people, and it's easy to remember names wrong. My brother's name is Zhaoquan, not Shao Xuan."

It turned out to be blind. Shao Xuan was taken aback. Although he had guessed this before, he had never met such a person before. He didn't expect that the first Yanjiao person he met here turned out to be blind. Remember the name wrong.

"Aren't you going back?" Lighting asked.

"I can't go back, I'm going to stay at your house tonight," Shao Xuan said.

I don't understand why Shao Xuan said "I can't go back". Lighting wanted to continue to ask, but suddenly there was a sound in his stomach: "Gu--"

Everything waits until the stomach is full. Lighting put aside the problems in his heart for the time being. Since they are all tribesmen and have no personal grudges, it is certainly possible to borrow for one night, just like his brother is sleeping at a friend's house on the hunting team tonight.

"You stay, my brother won't be back tonight, you can sleep with my brother. By the way, have you eaten?"

"No, I was brought back by Guangyi before I had time to eat, and I was trained all the way." Shao Xuan said.

Lighting gave him a sympathetic look. Guangyi is famous for training people, and he always looks serious on weekdays. Many people in the tribe are in awe of Guangyi, even those outstanding young warriors in the tribe. It is also inevitable.

"Then I'll share it with you." Lighting carried a clay pot over, with some boiled broth in it, which was still warm. Before, his brother asked someone to bring a pot of broth back, so that he would not be hungry. If he couldn't finish it tonight, he could eat it again when he woke up tomorrow, and it wouldn't go bad if he left it overnight.

However, adding Shao Xuan is not enough. After all, Shao Xuan is a totem warrior and eats a lot.

"Would you like me to cook some more?"

Lighting put down the clay pot to get some stockpiles, but was stopped by Shao Xuan.

"I brought something to eat. I'll borrow your pot and water to use it." Shao Xuan shook an animal skin bag.

When I was in the jungle, most of the time I would just roast it and eat it, and it would still be raw after eating it several times, but there is no way. It is too dangerous in the forest, so I have to be on guard at all times, and the caves are not so easy to find. It is not easy to enjoy a cooked meal, and the animal meat is not fully cooked. When it is good, it only has a little blood, and in the worst case, you will see blood directly after taking a bite of the animal meat. There is no need to think about cooking soup. It is difficult to get here. Shao Xuan intends to drink some broth.

"What kind of meat are you cooking?" Lighting asked after snorting.

"I don't know what it's called, that beast looks weird. Come on?"

"No, we can't eat what you totem warriors eat." Although he is jealous, he still has this self-knowledge.

"You can drink some soup." Shao Xuan scooped up a small half spoon of soup and poured it into the illuminated soup bowl. The beast he cooked was not very powerful. After the broth was diluted, children could drink it without any problem. Shao Xuan has seen it before, and Shao Xuan also found that the physical strength of the children here is better.

"Hey, my brother often does this too." Lighting opened his mouth with a smile, and his impression of Shao Xuan became better.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lighting always felt that this soup was better than the ones he had drunk before, and there was a very obvious warm current in his body after drinking it. After making pottery for an afternoon, his tired body was now much relieved.

After eating and drinking, it was getting dark outside. The light of the two moons dimmed.

After putting out the firewood, they each went into the house to sleep.

For more than half a year, Shao Xuan was able to sleep peacefully for the first time. Don't worry about the desert beasts, and don't have to guard against the slave owners. There is no need to worry about all kinds of threats lurking in the mountains and forests, surrounded by people from Yanjiao. Although there is no fire, Shao Xuan has a feeling that fire is around him, and his heart is very peaceful.

Sleepless nights and slept until the next day.

Shao Xuan woke up early in the morning, listening to the voices of people outside and various movements, and he was a little dazed. After a while, I remembered that I was now in the Yanjiao tribe, not the one I knew well, but the one that the other one had been looking for.

Opening the window in the room and smelling the fresh morning air, Shao Xuan looked outside.

This mountain is not high, but it covers a very wide area. Every household around it is separated by a distance of ten meters, and some are farther apart. Anyway, the place is large and not uncommon.

Lighting was awakened by a burst of scent. Go out yawning.

The broth has already been cooked, and Shao Xuan has finished his own portion, and the lighting portion has also been cooked for him. Also added a little bit of meat broth.

"Where are you going to go later?" Shao Xuan asked.

"Go get the clay pot." Lighting said. Yesterday he made a few big pots, and there are people in the tribe who are responsible for the centralized burning. Today, he just needs to go and get them.

"I'll go take a look with you."

"Okay." Lighting had long forgotten the question he was going to ask yesterday, and was busy drinking the broth.

Licking off the last bit of minced meat, put away the things, and led Shao Xuan to the place where he took the clay pot.

The place where the tribe concentrated pottery is not allowed to enter at all, especially the curious children, who are easy to cause trouble, so after the firing is done. The person in charge there will put all the pottery on the flat ground outside, and each family will take their own things there.

I saw the raw face of Shao Xuan. Many people were a little strange and asked the lighting a few words. I heard that it was brought over by Guangyi, so everyone didn't ask any more.

Lighting made two large clay jars and five jars yesterday, but when he found his things, he found a broken pottery piece on the ground next to him, with writing on the pottery piece.

"Two of the five jars failed?! Fortunately, the pottery was not broken." Not every pottery will be fired successfully. There may be some mistakes in the pottery making process, which will affect the firing result. And for the current result, the lighting is not satisfied.

Shao Xuan glanced at the large and small pottery on the ground, and classified them according to each family. Those that were illuminated were placed together. If it failed, the person who fired it would write it on some broken pottery pieces.

Don’t be afraid to take it by mistake, because each pottery has pictures or characters written on it, some with their own names, and some with other signs. . Regardless of whose pottery is made, the paintings and characters on it have one thing in common—totems. The bottom or other parts of the pot will be painted with a double-horned flame totem and the word "flaming horn" written on it.

The words on the pot are not the ones used by the slave owners, but the ones that Shao Xuan had been exposed to since he was a child.

It seems that this set of written language has never been forgotten or put down by the people of Yanjiao.

Originally, the lighting was planned to be taken several times, but with the help of Shao Xuan, it can be done in one go.

Putting all the small pots into the pot, Shao Xuan resisted one shoulder.

"Ugh-"

A beast roar sounded.

Shao Xuan looked in the direction from which the voice came.

Hearing the beast's roar, the lighting's eyes lit up and said to Shao Xuan, "Let's go over and take a look. The hunting team brought back a lot of giant beasts, and the giant beasts that my brother participated in the hunting are put there!"

The results of their hunting are also divided according to the people, and whoever gets the prey is arranged by themselves. Therefore, according to the regulations, the giant beast over there also has the share of lighting his house, and when the time is slaughtered, they can also get it. Lots of animal meat.

Children who have never participated in hunting are always full of curiosity about those giant beasts, so is lighting, and they are not in a hurry to go home. They drag Shao Xuan to run there and show off by the way. After all, this is also his brother's achievement. .

"It's a terrifying beast!" It was rare to hunt such a giant beast, and the lighting was very excited.

Shao Xuan looked over and saw a giant beast tied up by thick vines lying on the open ground, surrounded by a circle of thick wooden stakes, but these wooden stakes were mainly used to stop people. It is very difficult for this thing to trap the giant beast in the forest, which is why the giant beast is still tied up.

The children around climbed onto the stakes, looked at the giant beast inside, and excitedly discussed how much meat they could get and which part they could get.

Just looking at the shape of the head, the terrifying beast looks like those fierce crocodiles or lizards, especially when they deliberately stretch the skin of the head, and the cracked lines match the face, just like those in the forest with cold eyes Ferocious predators, but under the head it's different. There are no thick scales, only a thick layer of skin with sparse fur. The head is large and looks heavy. When competing within the species, they will use their heads to collide with each other. The tail is short and heavy, and can maintain their heavy body when standing. balance.

When the Dreadhead roared, the teeth in its mouth could tell that it was a giant herbivorous beast.

There were two young warriors beside them, telling the curious children about the temperament and habits of this giant beast.

Lighting motioned Shao Xuan to put the pot on the ground and climb up the stake to take a good look. Here, he can only look in through the gap of the stake, which is too annoying.

Shao Xuan thought about it too. Anyway, he didn't worry about being taken by the pottery jar.

After Lighting climbed up, he ran to the side and listened to the two soldiers with the other children about the hunting process, while Shao Xuan looked at the giant beast lying on the ground and changing his posture.

Such a giant beast, even if it is lying down, is four or five meters high, which is indeed enough for everyone to share.

Just thinking about it, Shao Xuan found something wrong with the vines on the giant beast's side. He was someone who used vines often, so he could naturally see that one of the bounds had been broken and was loose.

"Hey, the two over there, the vines are going to be bitten by the fear-headed beast." Shao Xuan shouted.

The two young warriors who were talking about were suddenly interrupted, and they were a little unhappy, but when they heard Shao Xuan's words, they hurriedly looked over there.

"Come down!" One of them waved to the children on the stake, and then blew the hanging wooden whistle. For such a situation, they often encountered, so they did not panic. They know that if it is true as the person just said, the two of them alone will not be able to cope.

The fear-headed beast over there knew that it had been discovered, and no longer concealed it, opened its mouth to bite the vine, stretched its body suddenly, and rubbed its powerful jaws.

Boom——

Shao Xuan heard a cracking sound, followed by a high-pitched beast roar.

Lighting and other other children slid down from the stakes numbly, and left without looking at them. This is the battlefield of the soldiers, and they will only get in the way if they stay here.

Lighting took a few steps and found that he had forgotten something. When he turned around, he didn't see Shao Xuan's shadow, but saw two large pottery jars next to the wooden stakes.

Just thinking about whether to go back and look for it, the lighting suddenly heard a rolling "bang" like a dull thunder, and the ground shook.

The roar is gone.

Everything seems to be back to the way it was before.

He didn't hear any movement from the guards inside. Lighting swallowed his saliva and moved over there step by step boldly. From the gap between the wooden stakes, he saw the huge terrifying beast kneeling down on its front hooves, its big head already smashed. Into the ground, the hind legs are kicking, as if to pull out the head, but it seems that the kick is weak. (To be continued)
