Chapter 8 High in the altar and accompany the fools
Zhang Baoer, who had been eating raw and rotten food for more than a month, crawled lazily on a tattered tiger skin and looked through the autumn water several times.
Xiao Ha also ran back several times. After seeing no movement, he dejectedly slipped out to play with the children in the tribe.
He originally thought that a pot of meat would only take half an hour to cook, but after waiting for nearly an hour and a half and adding water several times, it was still not finished. It seemed that he had underestimated the efficiency of the stone pot and the strength of the meat.
Toughness.
Although the pot was large, the water inside had started to boil more than half an hour ago, but seeing the old man holding the bone knife swallowing his saliva and trying it every once in a while, Zhang Baoer could see his disappointment.
It means the meat is not soft enough.
I don't know how long it took, but the old man finally nodded, but then Zhang Baoer discovered: This is still not over - another older man suddenly walked out of the crowd, holding a bamboo basket, when he walked to the stone
After standing beside the pot, he muttered aloud, then he tipped the basket over and poured a lot of finely divided things into the pot. The smell seemed to be some herbs or something like that.
After continuing to cook for nearly half an hour and adding water twice, the nagging old man finally yelled, seemingly announcing: The meat is cooked!
Sure enough, after a while, pieces of cooked meat with white steam and alluring fragrance were served on broad leaves and respectfully held in front of Zhang Baoer; at this moment, Xiao Ha suddenly emerged from the crowd.
When he came out, he greeted Zhang Baoer with a "haha", then he threw himself on the biggest piece of meat and started eating it hard - this guy seems to be on time when he eats...
However, Zhang Baoer did not start immediately, because he suddenly found that the others had no meat in their hands, and they all stood around and looked at him, as if waiting for him to eat first.
After seeing a naked little girl reaching out to grab a piece of meat but being beaten back by an adult, and looking at him with tears in her eyes, Zhang Baoer made a decision:
"Although a qualified magic stick needs a certain degree of majesty that makes people awe, but in the word awe, fear is often higher than respect. This is not and should not be what I want! Well... I will let
Let them love me, not fear me!"
As soon as he thought of it, the mythical beast immediately stepped down from the altar (a flat-topped stone wrapped in a tattered tiger skin), came to a piece of meat, picked it up in one mouthful, and then walked to the tearful little buttocked boy.
In front of the girl.
Immediately afterwards, the mythical beast used his little claws to grab the meat out of its mouth.
Later, I saw the old man and his family standing up, and suddenly put the meat on the little girl's hand, who was already frightened.
Perhaps because she was too hungry, or perhaps in fear, she understood something from the eyes of the mythical beast, so she stupidly put the cooked meat to her mouth and took a bite.
However, she was startled when she saw the stern look in the eyes of the divine beast, and she suddenly became jealous. Regardless of the trembling hand that her mother put on her shoulder, trying to make her kneel down to apologize, she fiercely
A big bite!
She made the right bet!
She saw the divine beast nodded with gentle eyes, and his pointed cheeks seemed to be... smiling with satisfaction - for this, she couldn't hold it back anymore, tears flowed down, and she quickly knelt down to thank him!
Zhang Baoer, who had never been happy with people's hierarchies, shook his head helplessly and walked to the 'Meat Forest'. He stretched out one paw and pressed it on a piece of meat as big as a fist. He nodded towards the crowd with the other paw and then towards the surroundings.
The meat is ordered!
The people who were called immediately understood: the mythical beast wanted them to get the meat.
However, they hesitated with complicated eyes - they were either old, weak, sick, pregnant or children. Let the strong hunters eat first, eat the best, and eat the most is how the tribe relied on to survive.
After all, it’s not easy to get food when living here!
The ignorant children wanted to go, but they were restrained by the adults at home and were not allowed to go until they saw more 'lucky birds'.
"ah!"
The Lord Divine Beast was angry. Upon seeing this, the old man holding the bone dagger quickly and fearfully signaled those who were targeted to get the meat.
"Eh..."
"Wow! Tina! Ah Gulu!"
Seeing the chief's gesture, the adults thanked them one after another, and then walked forward with complicated eyes. The children shouted their thanks and rushed out in a swarm.
"Eh..."
The chief saw the master of the mythical beast nodding and showed a pleasant expression, and his eyes were complicated: Letting the soldiers eat first is a tradition that has not changed for thousands of years!
But this was the wish of the Divine Beast, and he did not dare to stop it; and later, he had no time to sigh, because he saw the Divine Beast turning his head and pointing at him.
He immediately bowed forward and saw the little paw of the mythical beast pointing at the remaining people, and then ordered the animal meat and stone pot. He immediately understood that this was to ask them to drink the soup and then cook another one.
!
The chief was overjoyed, kowtowed and thanked him, and then ran off to get busy. Zhang Baoer was shocked for a while - only later did he realize that the original soup was the essence. It was not only broth, but also many priceless herbs.
...
After giving the instructions, Zhang Baoer couldn't wait to pick up a piece of meat and return it to the tattered tiger skin - after dividing the meat with the little girl just now, the aftertaste in his mouth was refreshing and very tempting.
As soon as he swallowed a mouthful of meat, his eyes lit up, because he felt like a warm current in his stomach began to flow to all parts of his body. He was very comfortable, as if he was about to become an immortal and a god. He couldn't help but "beep"
* made a sound.
So, like Xiao Ha who was chewing the second piece of meat, he worked hard!
In the past, a piece of meat as big as a fist would have been full, but this time he still didn't want to finish it. Although his stomach was warm and swollen...it was a pity that the meat was already divided, and he was a thin-skinned person.
However, a later discovery also dragged his attention back from his tongue and stomach:
I saw that the faces of the old people and children were all flushed, and they felt like they were weak and not being replenished. The old people were okay and gritted their teeth and persisted; while the children were either screaming or crying. One of them was
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy named Hulu Changle (he can already be considered a man here, because he has become the mainstay of the tribe and has his own mother-in-law) suddenly jumped up with a roar, and saw his
There were spots of black sweat on the skin, giving off a foul smell.
Everyone around him was overjoyed when they saw this. His rich and powerful daughter-in-law happily picked up the guy with everyone's envious eyes, and then quickly ran home.
Zhang Baoer was stunned for a while. At first, he thought everyone had food poisoning. It was not until he noticed that everyone's faces were happy that he realized that something good had just happened that he didn't know about.
"Ha ha!"
Xiao Hayan came to Zhang Baoer and made a sound of grievance, as if asking: Is there still meat? Why did it disappear without paying attention?
Zhang Bao'er quickly stretched out his little paw and pointed at the second pot of meat that had started to cook, indicating that he would eat it if he waited patiently.
At the same time, he was also secretly amazed at how fast these people ate. Even an old woman who looked to be over seventy years old was completely wiped out with a piece of meat that was about the same size as his.
Faster than him!
...
"Master Divine Beast! It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. In previous years, at this time, we would go to the Yunshang Tribe, a large tribe three hundred miles away, to exchange furs and medicinal materials for some utensils and food. May I ask, sir..."
The old chief stood respectfully in front of Zhang Bao'er and made a statement. Zhang Bao'er waved his paw to interrupt his words, and asked him to draw a series of winding native characters on the sand:
"Then go! I will go with you too!"
The old chief quickly said yes, then bowed his body and slowly backed away, not daring to show any disrespect - this was not fear, but respect!
Some time ago, after using the divine net taught by the sacred beast, the tribe achieved a bumper harvest on the Tongtian River, completely solving the tribe's food shortage problem.
You know, in the past they could only use spears, arrows and forks to catch fish. When they were lucky, a dozen strong men could only catch four fish!
And since he learned how to use the Internet, he was too embarrassed to report hundreds of things to the Mythical Beast in a day - the Mythical Beast is indeed the Mythical Beast! How dare he be disrespectful to such an existence?
It has been more than three months since Zhang Baoer and Xiao Ha came to the Hulu tribe, and in these three months, he has been surprised again and again: in just over half a month, he understood their language, a person
He mastered their writing in less than a month; he never thought he was a genius before, but now he has to admit that he is gifted!
At the same time, in the past month and a half, due to the abundant catch, the old chief who was free would respond to his request and come over almost every day to talk about everything he knew. However, the result was a bit disappointing to Zhang Baoer, because the old chief was so
The farthest place that I have ever visited in my life is the Yunshang tribe. The old chief did not know as much about this world as Zhang Baoer expected.
Of course, although the old chief didn't know much, he still knew some valuable information, such as: There are ferocious beasts in this world. Fierce beasts are higher-level existences than wild beasts. They are very terrifying! A powerful ferocious beast can easily
After slaughtering small tribes like the Hulu tribe, the stone walls of the tribe will be useless in front of the ferocious beasts.
The one he ate was a ferocious beast. The previous generation chief was the old man who poured medicinal ingredients when cooking meat. When he was a child, he was lucky enough to see this ferocious beast once in the Yunshang tribe, but he didn't know its name.
According to the knowledge of the previous generation of old chiefs, ferocious beasts generally live in the vast area behind Shuangdie Mountain (that is, above the two original waterfalls. According to the ancestors, there is a huge city on top of it, but
Mortals generally cannot go there).
The ferocious beasts are full of treasures. The animal bones can be used to grind weapons, the animal skins can be sewn into armors, and the sinews can be used as bowstrings or fastening ropes. Eating the ferocious beast meat can improve the physical condition - now the strength of people in the tribe has generally increased by several degrees.
Ten pounds is proof.
However, the most valuable thing about the beast is not the skin, bones, and flesh, but the beast's inner elixir—Zhang Baoer. On the second day after arriving at the tribe, he and Xiao Ha tried their best to take out a thumb-sized ball from the monster's head.
The white bead, that bead was very strange. Not only did it exude an indescribable mysterious fragrance, but it was also shrouded in a faint white light. Finally, one of them didn't pay attention and was swallowed by Xiaoha.
After Xiaoha swallowed the beads, he fell asleep. What surprised Zhang Baoer most was that the guy didn't wake up from his sleep until now.
Initially, he and the people in the tribe thought something was wrong, but in the end they found that not only was there no problem with Xiao Ha, but as time went by, his aura actually became thicker and thicker, giving people a vague feeling that he had become stronger.
In addition to these, there is also some useful information: there are several powerful monks in the Yunshang tribe. If anyone within a few hundred miles can wash away the hair and cut the marrow, they will be accepted as disciples by those big men and teach them magical powers!
The man who ate meat last time and was covered in feces and urine was named Hulu Baoguang. He seemed to have washed his hair and cut off his marrow. The purpose of going to the Yunshang Tribe this time was secondary to transaction. The main thing was to confirm whether the man was a washer.
If the person who cut the hair and cut the marrow is true, then the Hulu tribe will stand up this time.
For this reason, Zhang Baoer not only had no objection to going to the Yunshang Tribe, but was actually very much looking forward to it. After all, big places had a lot of information, and he looked forward to meeting or hearing about Xiao Ming there.
At the same time, as long as he finds Xiao Ming, he can practice - Xiao Ming is the daughter of the Tian family, although the words she said related to cultivation during the days when she was with her did not seem to solve him.
He couldn't practice the method of this problem, but he had an intuition: Xiao Ming definitely knew!
...
"Master Divine Beast! Ahead is Baiyun Mountain!"
The one leading the way was the big horse monkey. He changed his shotgun for a cannon, and after he climbed to the top of a mountain with a polished bone gun, he looked back and screamed loudly!
Zhang Baoer was so happy that he quickly put his head out of the backpack and gestured with his little paws to urge the old chief who was carrying him to speed up.
But when he reached the top of the mountain, he was speechless for a while - there was a big mountain in front of him, and the legendary Yunshang tribe should be on the top of that mountain, but... the mountain was two or three kilometers high, not to mention, from here to
It’s at least thirty miles away from the foot of the mountain!
[Author's digression]: Today I found out that I have two collections. I was so happy that I cried. I am very grateful to these two unknown friends. Thank you! Thank you!
