Because of the knife, the dismemberment of the beast was faster, but the process was also quite violent. Cuckoo first chopped off four thighs, without any idea of cleaning them, and handed them over to the women to roast on the fire. The children
They also got up and took out firewood from somewhere.
At this time, Cuckoo opened the belly of the beast again, pulled out the internal organs indiscriminately, and put them aside. Seeing the situation, he didn't want to take any of them. Zhang Heng shouted, "It's a pity, the internal organs are good things. The old people in the village are very good at it."
She likes to eat, saying that her eyes will brighten after eating animal offal, and she will not suffer from presbyopia when she gets old. My grandma also likes to eat offal, and she can still thread needles by herself at the age of ninety.
However, Zhang Heng immediately thought that the internal organs could not be roasted and eaten, nor could they be cleaned. As an outsider, it was difficult for him to express his opinions. The key was that he had no way to communicate!
I originally thought that Cuckoo would continue chopping, but I didn't expect that he just put the beast meat aside and put it aside. It seemed that he didn't plan to eat it today. Zhang Heng looked at it and understood a little bit, so he probably saved it and ate it slowly.
Well, life in this kind of environment is hard.
While the women and children were grilling meat, Cuckoo and a few men gathered around and handed Zhang Heng another big fruit, but this time it was green, which was the kind of fruit that Zhang Heng had started seeing women picking.
Without being pretentious, I took a bite of it. Good guy, the fruit this time was actually super delicious. It was countless times more delicious than any fruit Zhang Heng had eaten before. There was no way it was easy because the taste was so good. As a result, he almost
It was all eaten down.
I originally wanted to eat a few, but when I saw that the men were not moving after eating one, I had to hold back, but I was extremely annoyed. Why didn't I pick some of these green fruits myself in the first place?
There is a lot of fruit, at least a few big baskets can be picked.
After a while, Cuckoo howled a few times, and he didn’t know what he was calling. He saw Cuckoo taking out a jar from the corner. This surprised Zhang Heng, because the jar was actually pottery, although it was quite well-burned.
Generally speaking, it is also very ugly. It is more appropriate to call it a baked clay embryo, but it is indeed a jar.
Cuckoo carefully hugged him and shouted: "Food for the Kui tribe, Kui tribe!"
Zhang Heng relied on this sentence: "Give food to the Kui tribe" to communicate with the women. Now that he heard Cuckoo say the same thing, he was really confused. What does this mean?
But he understood immediately, because he saw coarse salt in this jar, because there used to be salt mines near his hometown town. He had seen this kind of coarse salt, which was a pure salt mine, but people cannot directly
If eaten, it is slightly poisonous.
The book says that humans are originally "advanced animals", and the instinct to eat salt is innate. Zhang Heng estimated that this small cave tribe either brought things to the "Kui tribe" in exchange for salt. If not, this cave would be called "Kui tribe".
"Tribe", they discovered this salt themselves, and after saving enough, they took it out to exchange items with other tribes, but the former option is more likely. No, this was expressed in Cuckoo's careful and distressed eyes.
At this time, Cuckoo grabbed a pinch of salt and carefully rubbed the salt grains on the thigh meat with his hands, regardless of how hot the thigh meat was.
Zhang Heng couldn't help but made a sound, pointed at the jar and shouted: "Salt, salt!"
"Salt!" Upon hearing this, Cugu pointed at the jar, but his eyes were very confused.
Zhang Heng nodded and simply put his tentative hand into the jar. There was not much salt in it, only about two or three kilograms. When he picked up a handful, he saw that no one had any extreme reactions, so he felt relieved.
He put his fingers into his mouth, and the taste of saltpeter filled his entire mouth in an instant. However, there was indeed a strong salt taste in it, but as an "outside" person, he was so used to eating that he immediately wanted to vomit, but as soon as he did,
Thinking that this vomiting would very likely ruin the good atmosphere, I had no choice but to swallow it.
For a moment, tears almost came out of his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Cuckoo, wait a minute, I'll get you some salt."
Salt "outside" is quite cheap. You can buy it everywhere for one dollar a bag. Since these primitive people regard salt so important, why don't they buy some salt and "come in" to trade. They still have a few hundred yuan on them, which can be bought
There are hundreds of bags of salt.
"Salt!" Cuckoo's eyes were still full of doubts.
Zhang Heng had no way of explaining it, so he simply didn't say anything more. He turned around and hugged his precious animal skin, and then stared at the ring. Sure enough, nothing happened. His eyelids started to fight again, and he fell asleep in just a few seconds.
, when he opened his eyes the next moment, he was back on the bed. The animal skin was also taken out, and the clothes on his body were also put on as before.
——————————————
"King, king, woo~~~" Cuckoo suddenly roared. The king in front of him just "disappeared", and the animal skin also disappeared. The king just said that the saltpeter from the Kui tribe was "salt", and then
He picked up the animal skin and disappeared.
"King!" Mei also ran over and stood in a daze at the spot where Zhang Heng disappeared.
But soon there was a noise in the cave, and eight men, eight women, and seven children were all seen worshiping the place where Zhang Heng disappeared, and some strange syllables were uttered from their mouths, which were desolate and simple!
Sunset, sunrise, sunset, sunrise again, five solar days passed, and the "king" did not appear. In the early morning of the sixth solar day, Cuckoo tightened the machete in his hand.
It must be an artifact given to their tribe by the king of gods. He wants to use this artifact to hunt more food and save more "skins" because the king likes skins. Once he has the skins, he will definitely return
Come.
"Roar!" Cuckoo slapped his chest and let out a roar that was more terrifying than a wild beast. He waved his machete and set off again with seven men. They were going out to hunt for meat.
"Guo Guo..." Mei also set off with the women. They were going out to pick fruits, but Mei also wanted to go and see the place where the "King" appeared... She missed the King a little!
————————————
Zhang Heng was in a daze at this time. He was waiting for him to put away the animal skins and prepare to study them carefully after dawn. At this time, he had to hurry up and get salt from the kitchen. Cuckoo and the others in the cave were still waiting.
But when he got up, he suddenly discovered a problem, because the wound he had just made "in the forest" disappeared, and there was no trace at all. What was going on? Could it be that what happened in the "primitive society" just now was fake?
Yes? But the animal skin and the branch in the room are real things. They can be seen and touched.
Shaking his head, he discovered something strange again. He looked at his watch while lying on the bed. It happened to be eight o'clock, but now the watch on the table showed that it was just twenty past eight o'clock. What was this?
What's the situation? He spent at least half a day cutting down trees in the forest and in the cave. He started going in and out many times. He also went to the tool room to find a machete. He spent almost twenty minutes "outside". Could it be "inside"
"Is the time stationary, or can the time inside be suspended?"
Zhang Heng was a little confused. After thinking about it, the time came to 8:35 when he came back to his senses. Time passed too fast. The time "outside" was really useless!
Thinking that the cuckoo in the cave was still waiting, I quickly sneaked into the kitchen to get a bag of salt. When I came back, I looked at my watch. It was 8:40. I didn't waste any time. I stared at the ring for a few seconds and then "fell asleep" again.
, the next moment he appeared in the cave, exactly where he was standing when he "came back" just now.
But what he saw in front of him stunned him. The time and place seemed to be correct. He was still standing where he was "just now". Judging from the light, it was afternoon, but the situation inside the cave made him tremble all over.
The fire was still there, and so were the seven children, but as soon as he appeared, the children immediately knelt down and worshiped him, making strange syllables in their mouths, but the men and women who were supposed to be "barbecuing" disappeared.
Zhang Heng saw the gnawed bones from the bone pile in the corner. Judging from the traces, they were the bones of beasts that had been chopped with a knife, but from the appearance, they looked like they had been gnawed a few days ago. In the other corner, he saw
The rotten entrails of beasts.
"What's going on?" He just "went out" to get a bag of salt. Although he was in a daze for a while, it only lasted more than twenty minutes. Why did it seem like several days had passed in the cave?
"King!" "King!" The seven children were still kneeling and shouting at him!
Zhang Heng came back to his senses, but he was even more confused. What is the time comparison between "outside" and "inside"?
