(It’s not easy to finally meet someone! Please vote to calm down the shock!)
Yun Buliu estimated that he had walked for a total of sixteen days from that big lake to now, and the place he had passed was estimated to be thousands of miles away.
This refers to the straight-line distance. If calculated based on the twists and turns of the river, it would be at least two to three thousand miles away. This is still a conservative estimate because he can travel much faster now than before.
There is only one human gathering place thousands of miles away in a straight line, and it seems that this human gathering place is not very big. It is estimated that there are only about two to three hundred people!
So, will there really be a more developed and prosperous civilization in this world?
Not long after, a group of people came out of the village, led by an old man with a strong build, but whose beard and hair were all white.
These people are generally quite tall, even the old man is not shorter than him.
The old man was also wearing an animal skin coat, still without sleeves, but there was a cloak made of animal skin outside, which could cover his entire body.
When he saw this group of experts, Yun Buliu couldn't help but be stunned. Because he recognized a strong man among them. That strong man was the one who reminded him to stay away from the river by the river.
Were they not eaten by that giant leaping python?
Yun Buliu was quite surprised, but unfortunately, they couldn't understand each other.
However, judging from the golden-patterned animal bones and teeth inserted into their waists, it can be seen that they know how to use these golden-patterned animal bones.
The old man stepped forward and chirped at Yun Buliu. Yun Buliu couldn't understand it at all, but he could probably guess that the other person was definitely asking him, who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going?
?
Yun Buliu answered this question, but the other party obviously didn't understand.
After gesticulating and chatting with these rough guys in animal skins, the old man finally signaled Yun Buliu to follow them into the village.
It can be seen that they still have great goodwill towards Yun Buliu.
Especially when he saw a little tiger next to him, carrying a bundle of animal skins and a tiger tooth hanging on his waist, everyone's eyes seemed to tell him, you are awesome! You are great!
When he walked into the village, he found that there were stone houses here and there, with no plan at all. However, there was an open space in the center of the village.
The road connecting the open space to the entrance of the village is quite wide, at least ten meters long. In the middle of the open space, there is a huge stone with the shape of a big snake carved on it. Seeing this, Yun Buliu understood a little bit, and wanted to go to that road.
The big snake is very familiar with the villagers here.
The open space looks like three to four hundred square meters, surrounded by a circle of stone houses.
The stone houses are five or six meters high and basically have one floor.
When Yun Buliu followed these rough people into the village, many rough-looking women stood at the door of the stone house, holding on to the door frame and looking at him curiously.
Some children hid behind the adults, looking at him with the same curiosity.
Yun Buliu glanced around quickly and found that the humans here were all very tall and strong, with rough faces. Although they were not considered to have flat noses and wide mouths, the bridge of their noses was indeed not high.
It's not that ugly, but it definitely has nothing to do with being handsome.
Yun Buliu felt that although he did not have stunning looks, among these people, he could be regarded as the most handsome boy in the village.
Of course, the premise is to remove the beard and tidy up the instant noodle head.
Now his hair has reached his shoulders.
He plans to get an idol's classic hairstyle when his hair grows longer.
It was a pity that there was no silk or cloth, otherwise he could have played the classic image of his idol, and then used a bone hammer to pose like Lao Yunfei, and it would have been a good example.
The old man was very polite to Yun Buliu and took Yun Buliu into his home. He lived alone in a big stone house and seemed to have no children.
Maybe it once existed, but it's gone now.
As if to welcome Yun Buliu, a guest from afar, someone took out an extra-large stone pot, at least two meters in diameter and more than one meter deep, and set it up in the open space.
Some people added firewood to the bottom of the cauldron to light a fire, some took out animal meat and poured it into the cauldron, while others went to get water... Deep in the valley, there was a small stream flowing out of the valley.
Yun Buliu looked at the tools they used. They were basically stone tools, bamboo tools, and wooden tools. There were no pottery tools among them. It was obvious that they had not yet invented the process of making pottery.
Also, their weapons are basically bone spears, bone knives, and bone bows... There are no gold, silver, copper, or iron weapons, and they obviously have not developed smelting techniques.
This is indeed a very primitive tribe.
After Yun Buliu put the things at the old man's house, he hung a tiger tooth around his waist. One end of the tiger tooth was circled with hemp rope to form a handle to prevent slipping, or it could be tied around the waist.
Then he and the old man sat on the rocks at the edge of the open space and continued talking to each other.
The little milk tiger lay obediently at his feet, and did not run to be naughty. She felt a little resigned to the situation, but her eyes were staring at the children playing in the open space, wandering around.
Obviously, it is still a playful tiger cub.
If Yun Buliu wants to know more, he must learn their language before he can communicate with them. And if he wants to learn a language, the best way is naturally to communicate with them.
The old man also repeated the same words to him tirelessly, obviously teaching him.
I guess the old man also wants to know, where did this human being come from?
At some point, it got dark, the moon rose, and several bonfires were lit in the open space, illuminating the open space brightly.
The eyes of Little Furball and Little Tiger were all fixed on the big pot.
At this time, the aroma of meat was already wafting from the cauldron.
If there weren't many children surrounding the cauldron, they would have all sat next to the cauldron waiting for Yun Bu to share their food.
Seeing them like this, Yun Buliu couldn't help but think of that lazy, fat little white snake.
It is estimated that it has gone to hibernate at this time!
Not long after, a woman with a face as rough as her body came to Yun Buliu and the old man with a bowl of broth. The bowl was a stone bowl, like a small basin.
However, Yun Buliu can kill five or six such large stone bowls by himself.
The old man took the stone bowl, or basin, and handed it to Yun Buliu.
Yun Buliu was stunned for a moment, took the stone basin, and said thank you to him.
He held up the stone basin, blew lightly, and then tasted it. He found that in addition to the aroma of meat, the soup also had the taste of one or two ingredients, including ginger and star anise.
However, the soup is not salty, it is very bland. Maybe they have not discovered the existence of table salt.
Or it has been discovered but doesn’t know how to refine it.
He put down the stone basin, returned to the old man's stone house, and dug out the salt tube and bone chopsticks containing salt from his bamboo basket.
In the past ten days, he has used a lot of table salt because he eats a lot.
Originally, he thought that as long as he could find humans, salt, etc., there would be no problem. But who knew that what he would find would be such a primitive village, or tribe.
He came out with the salt cylinder, pulled off the lid, picked out some salt with bone chopsticks, put it into the stone basin and stirred it, then looked at the old man and asked him if he wanted some?
The old man was curious and handed the stone basin over. Yun Buliu picked some salt with bone chopsticks and put it into his stone basin, stirred it for a few times, and then motioned for him to taste it.
The old man hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and tasted it, and then licked his lips. Then he lowered his head and tasted it again, and found that the broth got better and better as he drank it.
