The Caveman Made Me Awesome

As the sun rose gradually, the Thorn tribesmen in the burrow finally got up in twos and threes, and joined the ranks of feeding the chicks together.

Everyone fed the chicks very roughly, and they used their fingers to poke the meat paste into the chicks' throats, regardless of whether the chicks would choke or not.

There are many people and strength, and it didn't take long for everyone to feed them all. The chicks were full and finally settled down and stopped screaming heart-piercingly.

The whole world was instantly quiet.

Everyone sent the chicks on the ground to the thorn vines one by one.

Ye Xi also helped, picked up a chicken-sized, heavy gray-feathered chick, and sent it to a thick thorny vine with his own hands.

The chick had been obediently nestling in Ye Xi's arms, and immediately squatted down after being placed on the thorn vines, its fluffy feathers exploded, puffing itself into a ball of fluffy gray fur, squinting its eyes and dozing off comfortably.

After the chicks had fed and fell asleep, the adults finally flew back.

The thorn sparrows drilled through the dense layers of thorn vines, and threw the giant prey in their mouths to the ground with a bang bang bang.

The prey they brought were large in size, many of them were carnivorous beasts, such as saber-toothed tigers, cave lions, velociraptors, etc. Ye Xi even saw a black titan python as thick as a millstone.

"Hey!"

"呖呖呖~"

The milk-gray thorn sparrows chirped joyfully and crisply, as if asking for credit, and their cute appearance made people smile.

Compared with the slender body of other giant birds, the bodies of these thorn sparrows are slightly rounded, with small claws and beaks, delicate and cute.

But these harmless-looking birds like violent corpses, they are so fierce that even raptors are frightened, and they are also very aggressive.

The thorn tribe and his thorn sparrow laughed and laughed for a while, then he lifted the prey on the ground and walked to the root of the thorn vine.

Although the area of ​​this thorn bush is very wide, in fact, there are only five main stems, and the roots are as thick as three people hugging each other.

Qiu Ya also lifted a panting coyote to one of the main stems, and under Ye Xi's watchful eye, cut its throat with a bone knife.

A blood arrow shot out immediately.

The bright red blood sprayed onto the main stems of the thorns, and then trickled down into the black soil.

Qiu Ya explained to Ye Xi: "Our thorns grow better when watered with blood, produce more colorful flowers, and bear more fruits, so we have to water the roots with blood in this way every morning."

Ye Xi: "No wonder there is a strong smell of blood here that doesn't go away."

Qiu Ya threw the coyote with dried blood down: "The smell of blood will dissipate a lot after the sun is stronger. If you think it stinks, how about going with me to the thorn vines for a while? I'm about to Go and chop some thorn vines."

Ye Xi readily agreed: "Okay."

Dong Muying had been leaning lazily on a thick thorn vine to doze off, and when she heard this, she opened her eyes and shouted to Qiu Ya: "Remember to pick a core for me! It needs to grow softer——"

Qiu Ya rolled his eyes towards the sky, and choked: "You are so beautiful, you have to eat and pick it off yourself!"

Dong Muying glanced at him with a half-smile, folded his arms and said, "Don't expect me to fight with you if you don't pick it up, and you will never want to beat me and become the heir to the chief."

Qiu Ya snorted in his nostrils and didn't speak any more.

He led Ye Xi to jump over the thick vines to the top of the thorn bush.

Ten meters above the ground, the bright and hot sun was unobstructed and poured down unscrupulously. The hot wind blew the two people's hair, and the air was very fresh.

Qiu Ya pulled out a large stone machete from his back, grabbed a newly grown thorn vine at the top, and chopped it down with a loud click.

After chopping five arm-thick thorns and vines in a row like chopping firewood, Qiu Ya explained: "Every time a new vine grows, we will cut down most of the new vines and use them to make clothes. .”

Ye Xi looked at the clothes Qiu Ya was wearing in surprise: "I thought the sackcloth you were wearing was made of ramie.

"

Qiu Ya turned around and asked curiously, "What is Ramie?"

Ye Xi: "Oh, it's a shrub with green leaves. We usually soak it in light salt water and then dry it to expose its fibers. After combing, pounding and other processes, the fibers will split again, so that we can We have obtained more flexible sackcloth raw materials."

After hearing this, Qiu Ya smiled and waved the long strip of thorns in his hand, and said, "Although I don't know what fiber you are referring to, the steps sound similar to the process of making clothes in our tribe!"

He squatted down, and lightly smashed the long strip of thorns in his hand with the back of the stone knife.

After smashing it a few times, the hard black shell on the outside of the thorns was smashed into pieces and peeled off one after another. Qiu Ya peeled off the remaining sticky black shells with his hands, and the whole black thorns and vines turned into wood. blue.

The wood-blue vine flesh was fibrous upon closer inspection, Qiu Ya tore off a strand of fiber and handed it to Ye Xi: "Look, this is the raw material we use to make clothes!"

Ye Xi took the vine that was as thick as a milk straw.

The vine silk is still hard, and the juice can be squeezed out with a light squeeze.

Qiu Ya said: "We will soak it in clear water for three days, and then hang it on the thorns to dry for a day. At that time, the rattan silk will shrink and become soft, and it can be woven directly without pounding or combing. clothing!"

Ye Xi looked at the thick thorns covered with sharp thorns under his feet, and said, "There are thorns everywhere in your place. It's convenient to dry things, but where does the water come from?"

Qiu Ya stood up, pointed to the distance and said: "Look at the forest there, there is a small river in that forest, do you see a little bit of golden light? It is the surface of that river that is shining."

Ye Xi narrowed his eyes.

His eyesight was better than his. Through the dense canopy, he could not only see the golden light, but also vaguely see a corner of the sparkling river.

Ye Xi: "It's a bit far away from your tribe."

Qiu Ya said helplessly: "That's something that can't be helped. Who told the river not to flow near our tribe, so that we have to go there to take a bath. Hey, what is your Xicheng like?"

Ye Xi smiled: "We used to have a lake there, but recently we dug a canal to bring water from the distant river."

Qiu Ya listened with a little envy: "Then your Xicheng is really good! How about we also dig canals to bring that river water here?"

Before Ye Xi could answer, Qiu Ya waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, I invite you to taste the core of the thorn vine!"

Ye Xi was curious: "Core?"

Qiu Ya: "It's the thing that the guy who owed me asked me to bring. She is not good. The thorn fruit she invited you to eat is sour. Although it is precious, only birds love to eat it. We humans still like to eat the core of the thorn vine. !"

As he spoke, he peeled off the rattan threads one by one. After peeling off dozens of rattan threads, he finally exposed the thin orange-red inner core.

"Come on, let's try it!" Qiu Ya handed the core, which was only as thick as a finger, to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi took it and took a bite.

He found that although the thorny vine was a plant watered with blood, its core was unexpectedly sweet and delicious, crunchy to the bite, like sugar cane, but much tenderer than sugar cane, which made Ye Xi feel happy all at once. In love with the mouthfeel of this bramble vine core.

Qiu Ya reminded: "This core has scum, you have to spit out the scum!"

Ye Xi took another big bite, nodded, and gave him a thumbs up.

Qiu Ya: "What does this thumb mean?"

Ye Xi spat out the dregs of the core and laughed, "It means it's very delicious!"

Qiu Ya suddenly started trembling, raised his chin and said proudly: "That's right, our thorns are full of treasures, otherwise we wouldn't be called the Thorn Tribe!"

Seeing how happy he was with his tail up, Ye Xi couldn't help but want to tease him amusedly, so he praised the thorny vine in a fancy way.

This boast was incredible, and he directly praised Qiu Ya so much that his favorability was overwhelmed, he waved the machete enthusiastically, and shouted that he must let Ye Xi eat his fill today!
