Xiaobai ate a bunch of leaves, then lay down in He Chen's arms and fell asleep. He Chen guessed that he was digesting.
After feeding Xiaobai, He Chen gently put Xiaobai down, and then walked out of their small cave with Di.
It was already getting dark at this time, and five bonfires were raised on the mountainside. Two frightened deer were roasted on each of them, making ten deer in total. Around the bonfires, people from the Green Worm tribe were sitting.
"Chen, Di, come here quickly!"
Jian waved to them, flanked by Wing.
Because Jian is the second most powerful person in the Green Insect Tribe, he is very familiar with the leader Yi, and he also becomes familiar with He Chen and Di.
Of course, the 40 or so members of the Green Insect Tribe are actually very familiar with each other, like a big family.
Wing's back was facing this way, and he quickly turned his head when he heard Jian's words, and his eyes lit up when he saw He Chen:
"Boy, come on! I'll give you the fattest belly today!"
No one around the fire cared.
People with meritorious deeds eat more. This is the rule.
Today He Chen avoided conflicts and bloodshed and ate the fattest belly, and no one had any objections.
He Chen and Di walked over, sat next to the wings, and then looked at the barbecue intently.
The processed horned deer looked like the roasted whole lamb that He Chen had eaten in his previous life. The fur had been stripped off, but the meat had a psychedelic feeling.
Information about the frightening deer flashed in He Chen's mind.
Fright-antlered deer: The curvature of the Fright-antlered deer's antlers can subtly change the flow of the surrounding air, creating a magical space. If you stare at its antlers, you will have a magical feeling as if you are being sucked into the center of the circle.
Master Zhi fell into this kind of hallucination in his previous life.
However, because the perfectly shaped antlers of the horned deer can be sold for high prices as works of art, it was overhunted and almost became extinct in later generations.
The entire deer body in front of He Chen was cleaned and tied to a piece of wood. From time to time, someone would turn the piece of wood to allow the meat to heat evenly.
The meat has been roasting for a while, and the whole body is golden. From time to time, some oil is baked out and drips onto the flame, making a "sizzling" sound.
A fragrance slowly spreads.
It gradually became quiet around these campfires. They all looked at the meat on their respective fires with red eyes.
"Let's eat!"
Wing seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and then gave an order to take down the barbecue.
Everyone grabbed the roasted deer directly with their bare hands, and then tore off large pieces of meat.
Everyone didn't have so many rules. Except for the fat meat that was going to be rewarded to He Chen today, everyone else was free to use it.
"Wait a minute, it's not cooked yet!"
He Chen couldn't help but said.
Oh my god, there's blood in there!
However, everyone seemed not to hear it and continued to tear off the meat, put it in their mouths and chewed it, making a "bah, bah, bah" sound.
Some women moved too much and accidentally had sex, but no one had the time to pay attention. It was not like they couldn't see it, so they were all concentrating on the meat in their hands.
He Chen looked at this scene and didn't know what to feel.
but……
The problem is that hand, brothers and sisters!
Why don't you wash your hands!
Di, I’m talking about you. Don’t think I didn’t see you picking your nose just now!
And you, Wings, were you afraid that the meat would not taste salty when you touched your feet before?
"God..."
He Chen looked at the defiled Jingantiao Deer barbecue and felt a little nauseous.
In the memory of "morning", the impression of meat is "delicious", "delicious", "so delicious!".
There are no details of these eatings at all.
"Here, eat quickly."
Seeing that He Chen didn't move, Chi immediately used the hand that had just picked his feet to tear off a large piece of fat from his belly and handed it to He Chen, attracting envious looks from around him.
I'm so envious!
So fat! So greasy! And this hand...
He Chen silently took the big piece of fat.
"Eat quickly!"
Wing tore off a deer leg and chewed it while urging.
How do you manage to talk and eat at the same time without biting your tongue...
"Uncle, can I trade with you?" He Chen looked expectantly at Wing and the fragrant deer legs in his hands.
He swallowed.
Venison legs are much more delicious than this lump of fat!
It looks delicious.
"How can that be done! You saved the tribe today!" Wing's eyes widened, leaving no room for doubt.
But in a blink of an eye, he thought He Chen was caring about him and understanding him, so his tone suddenly became relieved:
"It's okay. Uncle likes to eat deer legs. Deer legs are more delicious than fat meat. Eat them in the morning."
You are so happy, I know deer legs are delicious!
I also like to eat deer legs…
What's up with this "Mom likes to eat fish tails but not fish belly" routine?
After complaining for a while and feeling his empty stomach, He Chen thought for a while, closed his eyes and bit into the half-cooked piece of meat.
It didn't feel as greasy as I imagined, but instead I felt a refreshing fragrance in my mouth.
There are no seasonings such as salt in the Green Worm Tribe, so the barbecue only has a pure meat flavor, but there is a grassy aroma in it, and the taste is also good, and the fat and lean meat are also very chewy.
Seeing He Chen eating the fat meat, Fei raised the greasy hand that had just touched the lamb leg with care and gently touched He Chen's head:
"You will definitely grow strongest in the morning!"
Don’t touch me with dirty hands!!
Uncle, I think you are targeting me...
But the head is already dirty, so don’t worry about it.
He Chen finished nearly a kilogram of meat in just three strokes, feeling like he couldn't move.
That’s one kilogram! A person would be exhausted.
And it's so greasy, after all, it's always a piece of fat.
The food of the Bada butterflies is nectar, which has been replenished when they went out hunting, so when they came back, the tribesmen came to warm themselves by the fire, while the Bada butterflies returned to their respective masters' caves.
After eating, Chi randomly ordered a few people on night watch, and then everyone returned to the cave with satisfaction.
…
After a night.
He Chen got up early in the morning, half thirsty and half suffocated.
The water is specially stored in one of the caves, which has several large water tanks.
He first ran to the foot of the mountain to have fun, and then came to a cave on the mountainside to drink water.
At this time, the hunting team was ready to set off.
"Brothers and sisters! We are also going to hunt more prey today!"
Today I still go hunting and stay behind.
He Chen felt that the order of hunting and staying behind in the Green Worm tribe was very confusing. For example, Wing, who had hunted yesterday, had to go out today, while Jian, who had been idle at home for a long time yesterday, still had to stay at home.
In particular, He Chen disagreed with the fact that Yi, as the leader, had to go out hunting.
He decided to talk to Chi about his thoughts.
"Uncle Wing, wait!"
He Chen yelled and ran towards the foot of the mountain.
The members of the hunting team stopped with Big Butterfly above their heads and looked at He Chen in confusion.
"Why don't you take turns hunting? Isn't it inefficient if you always go out hunting, Uncle Wing? And there are so many of you, so many smart monsters, they all know that you are not easy to mess with, and they will definitely avoid you. Why?
Not divided into teams?”
He Chen said a lot of words without breathing.
Jian and Yi looked at He Chen like a monster, and the other soldiers in the hunting team also looked at him the same way.
What was this kid talking about just now?
"He Chen, don't be anxious, speak slowly, uncle didn't understand." Yi scratched his head with his big dark hand.
He basically didn't understand a lot of what He Chen just said, but he could feel that it seemed useful.
He Chen took a breath, calmed down, and said slowly: "I asked, why is the hunting not taking turns? For example, today this group of people will go out, and tomorrow it will be another group of people, otherwise you will be very tired."
Chi said: "I understand this. I mean the latter ones, what's 'efficiency' and what's 'vastness'?"
Wow, you illiterate.
Oh, yes, I was originally illiterate, but now I don’t even have “literacy” in this era.
"That's it, a dozen of you, a dozen Bada Die, oh, it's the White Butterfly." He Chen explained patiently: "With so many of you acting together, some weak monsters will run away when they see and hear them, but the powerful monsters will run away when they see it.
Although the monsters are not afraid of you, they can hurt you, so why not divide them into smaller teams?"
"Also, you start from this direction every day. There are still yellow insect tribes hunting in this direction. There must be very few prey. Why not change the direction?"
The members of the hunting team stared blankly at the thin boy in front of them, and Chi looked at He Chen again, as if they were meeting his nephew for the first time.
"Morning, our hunting route has been set. If we try to open other routes, we may encounter losses. After all, there are too many dangerous monsters in the forest..." Jian started to explain.
He Chen suddenly realized.
"As for those who go hunting..." Jian looked at Chi.
Jian also felt that what He Chen said made sense, but the leader was Wing, not him.
"Okay! We will discuss this matter when we come back today!" Chi nodded: "Let's leave now, or we won't be able to come back in the evening."
With that said, he patted He Chen on the head, then turned around and galloped away into the forest.
The members of the hunting team and the big butterflies followed one after another, especially the huge butterfly with wings, which flapped its wings lightly and brought up a gust of wind to catch up with the wings.
He Chen looked at the hunting team that was gradually disappearing, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
We set out before dawn and came back when it was almost dark.
Moreover, there are basically no elves around this hill, so it is very safe, but if you are far away, you won’t know.
There are all kinds of elves deep in the forest.
Fire type, poison type, flying type...
Many elves will injure the hunting team. After all, Baddie is not really a powerful elf.
"It seems I have to find a solution as soon as possible..."
He Chen felt heavy in his heart.
Go outside Grandpa Baidie’s territory to hunt elves! Conquer the elves!
Only a diverse configuration of elves can cope with diverse prehistoric environments and diverse challenges.
"Let's go, Chen." Jian said hello, and then jumped to the top of the mountain.
He must stand in a place with a wide view to prevent dangerous factors from approaching the tribe.
Although Grandpa Baidie is there to intimidate him, it is also his responsibility to guard the territory.
When He Chen returned to the cave, Xiaobai and Di were already awake, and Di was feeding Xiaobai some leaves.
Seeing He Chen coming back, Xiaobai dropped the leaves and happily threw himself at He Chen.
He Chen's mood immediately improved again.
He put Xiaobai on his shoulders, but Xiaobai felt uncomfortable, so he climbed on top of him again and lay down on the messy head.
"Xiaobai, you are green, you can't come on my head!" He Chen wanted to take off Xiaobai.
"What?"
Xiaobai rubbed He Chen's hair in confusion, making He Chen feel like he was being massaged.
"All right……"
He Chen caressed Xiaobai lovingly. Anyway, there is no green metaphysics in this world.
That kind of vitality color theory, just pretend it doesn’t exist!
He turned to Di and said, "Di, will you take me to pick leaves today?"
"Okay." Di stood up, stood up on tiptoes and touched Xiao Bai on top of He Chen's head: "Will you take Xiao Bai with you?"
He Chen nodded naturally.
In the memory he inherited, those fruit trees were not far away and were in a safe range.
"Wait a minute, I took this out and threw it away." Di bowed down and picked up two round objects from the ground.
It’s the core of the peach fruit I ate yesterday.
He Chen didn't care at first, but when he saw the two fruit cores, he suddenly had an idea: "Wait a minute!"
Di stopped and looked at He Chen puzzledly.
"Why don't we plant fruit trees?" He Chen's eyes lit up.
"Yes! There are also all kinds of food!"
He suddenly remembered that their main source of food was meat, and in addition to meat, they were various tree fruits.
Let alone food like rice, I have never even eaten vegetables!
And the green insect tribe doesn’t know how to plant it yet!
The cores of tree fruits are thrown away after eating. No one has noticed that those cores will take root and sprout, and no one has the time to stare at "garbage" like fruit cores.
Besides, who says hunting is necessary? Have you never heard of a breeding farm?
"feasible!"
He Chen paced back and forth in the small cave, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
"Chen, what's wrong with you?"
Di looked at He Chen inexplicably.
"What?"
Xiaobai also rubbed He Chen's head with his little hands and made a confused sound.
"Follow me, hold on to the core and don't throw it away!"
He Chen took Di's hand and ran out.
At this time, it was just dawn, and some old people had already gotten up and were cleaning up the traces of last night's bonfire. Some old people and breastfeeding women were carrying some prepared venison to the other side of the mountain to dry.
Three children ran towards He Chen.
"Chen! You are so awesome!"
"Yes, Chen, why are you so powerful!"
"Chen is really awesome!"
These three children are younger than Di, probably only five or six years old, and there is only one little girl among them.
"You go find your mother-in-law, I have something to do now!"
He Chen smiled and pushed away the three children with poor vocabulary, and then continued running towards the top of the mountain.
Eminem means mother, Abba means father, and all other men of similar age to father are called uncle, and all women are called aunt.
The three children said "Oh" and then ran away again.
He Chen saw that Jian was not on the side facing the sun, so he ran towards the other side of the hill.
"Chen, what's wrong with you?" He Chen had already let go of Di's hand, and Di followed He Chen closely.
