Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Now Shao Xuan is a little cave owner at best, and the cave is still filled with little kids who are not so peaceful.

For the fish that was brought over, Shao Xuan removed the internal organs and gills according to the practice of the two soldiers before. There was a place for throwing garbage in the hole. , every few days the tribe will send people over to clean up.

Except for the fish that could not be chewed, everything else was completely eaten, leaving only a dismantled skeleton and a mouth full of fangs.

The children in the cave all fell asleep after eating the fish. Shao Xuan kept a torch, extinguished the fire, and then took the torch to the depths of the cave to take a look. Originally, he planned to get some food and animal skins before winter came, but now he took over the hole and found a way to fish. He wondered if he should bring some people to get more fish tomorrow. There is a lot of food stockpiled, and it is guaranteed in winter. After all, the food provided by the tribe is not much.

People in the tribe are now rushing to gather grain before winter, and people can see people making jerky to preserve food every day. If you can get more fish, not only will the situation in the cave improve, but you can also use the fish to exchange warm fur with the tribesmen. Shao Xuan didn't want to be frozen in winter.

Walking in the cave with a torch, Shao Xuan took a general look at the light of the fire that was not very bright. The last time I came to see it, it was not long after I came to this world. I walked around on a whim, and didn't look deeper after that.

The so-called three fires for new officials to take office, I am the master of my site. The fire is burning, and the site has to be re-planned.

In the early days, when the tribes were small and the number of people was small, they all lived here. The caves were arranged, and places for food, firewood, fur, tools and weapons, etc. were dug up, as well as toilets, but later everyone went out to build houses, the caves After it was used to raise helpless children, it began to be messy, and there were a lot of empty places to come out. The twenty or so children were only concentrated near the entrance of the cave, and there was a lot of space left.

There are also vents in the depths of the cave, but they were blocked because no one went inside for a long time, and it would be dark even if they came in during the day.

After a rough look around, Shao Xuan returned near the entrance of the cave, spread out the hay that had been dried during the day, extinguished the fire and planned to sleep. But tonight I don't know why, I just can't sleep. Things in the cave, the fish in the river, and the vision I saw during the day when I was fishing.

Thinking about it, Shao Xuan always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching here, but he didn't know who it was.

The fire was out, and the cave was dark. The moonlight outside came in through the vent, with a dark blue that belonged to the night.

The children in the cave were all asleep, and snoring could be heard. The entrance of the cave was already blocked by a thick straw curtain, and there was no abnormality there.

Beside Shao Xuan, Caesar lay there quietly and slept. It didn't hear any abnormal sound, which proved that there should be no danger.

Could it be that some child in the cave didn't sleep, staring at him?

Shaking his head slightly, Shao Xuan wrapped his animal fur coat tightly, closed his eyes and planned to sleep, and he would take these little cubs out for fishing tomorrow.

However, after closing his eyes for a while, Shao Xuan seemed to have reached a dark shadow that flashed by. The shadow was so fast that Shao Xuan had no time to see it clearly. Behind the shadow, there was another pair of faint shadows. Blue rays of eyes appear.

what? !

Shao Xuan was shocked and suddenly opened his eyes.

The surroundings were still the same as before, the inside of the cave was dark, and only the place where the moonlight came in was still a little dimly bright.

Shao Xuan couldn't sleep at all now, he turned over, just in time to see the vent cut out on the wall above.

Usually even at night, the vents will not be blocked, and there will be no trouble.

After thinking about it, Shao Xuan got up, because the place where he slept was already higher, and now he can see the outside from the vent as long as he stands up.

There is moonlight outside, but it is brighter inside the cave, and you can vaguely see the nearby scenery.

There is a stone pillar nearly five meters high outside the cave. It was erected here in the early years, and its function is similar to a sundial. Those who lived in the cave would judge the approximate time according to the shadow of the stone pillar under the sun. Now that all the people of the tribe have left, the children who live in the cave will still scribble on the stone pillars when they go out. Coupled with the wind and the sun, the stone pillars are no longer the same as they used to be. The shape stands there.

And now, at the top of the stone pillar stood a bird.

That kind of bird Shao Xuan knew. When he first saw it, he thought it was a bat. Later, he learned that it is a bird that looks like a swallow. It flies very fast and is only active at night. Moreover, this kind of bird It eats meat.

The people of the tribe call them Yeyan, which is very similar to the nickname of bats that Shao Xuan knows, but unfortunately it is much more ferocious than bats, and likes to live in groups, sometimes a large group is formed when it moves.

Therefore, very few people from the tribe would go out in the dark night, and they had to light a torch when they went out, otherwise they would be easily attacked by Yeyan.

Ordinary people can't hear Yeyan's cry, but people from the tribe say that powerful warriors can actually hear its voice. According to legend, Yeyan's voice is very harsh, but most people have never heard it, just It's just word of mouth.

And just as Shao Xuan looked over at the stone pillar, the Yeyan resting on the stone pillar also looked over keenly.

Under the moonlight, Ye Yan's eyes reflected a dark blue light, exactly the same as the image that appeared in Shao Xuan's mind when he closed his eyes.

Yeyan will not come in through the vent of the cave, they like to stand and watch from a distance, then find a single target and attack them in groups. In the past six months, Shao Xuan had never seen a Yeyan get into a hole, but if anyone didn't go out with a torch at night, they would definitely be attacked.

Taking a deep breath, Shao Xuan stopped looking outside and lay down to continue sleeping.

Knowing what the dark shadow and dark blue eyes that flashed in his mind just now were, Shao Xuan was not able to fall asleep immediately.

Shao Xuan felt that he seemed to be able to "see" dangerous creatures nearby, such as the fish in the daytime, and the bird standing outside now.

The next morning was clear and sunny.

As usual, Shao Xuan got up and bundled up the hay he was padding, and took it out to dry for a while.

Patting his palms, Shao Xuan said to the large piece lying in the cave, "Are you awake? How many people woke up and followed me to go fishing."

No movement.

"The fish caught can be eaten, just like yesterday's." Shao Xuan continued.

There was a little movement, but not much.

Some children still slept soundly and couldn't wake up from thunder, and some even woke up, but they had to struggle again when they heard Shao Xuan's words. I'm used to going to bed at this time of the day, sleeping until the afternoon waiting for food. Some people even opened their eyes, but didn't wake up, yawned and then went to sleep.

In the end, only four of the twenty or so people followed Shao Xuan out, and the two oldest in the cave were among them. The remaining two, one is called Tu, who is very timid and blind with such a domineering name; the other is called Ba, this child stutters a bit, and his temperament is relatively simple and honest. Except when. The two children were both eleven years old, but their physiques were significantly different. Babitu was a head taller and looked similar to the two oldest thirteen-year-old children in the cave, while Tu was very thin and small, similar to Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan asked Caesar to dig some stones and worms. The straw rope was still used yesterday. He also took the black hemisphere that could float on the water, and then brought the four children to the river bank.

The two soldiers who were in charge of guarding today were the same two soldiers from yesterday. They didn't go back last night and had to watch for three consecutive nights before they could be replaced. When they saw Shao Xuan, they smiled and said hello, and said a few words.

This made the other four children in the cave very strange. They had never encountered such a situation when they walked around the tribe. Because of what happened last night, the two older children were less concerned about fighting with Shao Xuan, and seeing this situation now, their minds were even less so. In their opinion, people who get along well with the warriors in the tribe will always get a lot of benefits, and someone will help when they encounter trouble, just like Ku before, because they know some people on the mountainside, they are usually envied by everyone.

Shao Xuan prepared the things and told the four of them what they were going to do later.

"...That's it, it's very simple, follow me for a while, and you can just do what I say, and we'll share the fish when we catch it."

As soon as they heard the meal, the eyes of the four of them lit up, and their worried expressions when they saw the river also dissipated a lot.

The length of the straw rope is limited. This time, Shao Xuan still did not intend to throw the bait away, nor did he ask Caesar to help. The four children at the back took the place of Caesar yesterday, while Caesar squatted quietly beside him.

The four children were all nervous with straw ropes in their hands. In addition to the nervousness of coming into contact with the creatures in the river for the first time, there was also the excitement of fishing for the first time.

"Okay, don't move now, and listen to my password later." After throwing the bait, Shao Xuan stared at the water and said.

Soon, there was movement in the water. After fishing for the third time, Shao Xuan gained experience and immediately shouted, "Pull!"

Hearing Shao Xuan's words, the four children clenched the straw rope and pulled back.

After all, the four children together are stronger than Caesar, and this time the fish was pulled smoothly. The fish that was pulled up was similar to what Shao Xuan caught for the first time yesterday.

It was the first time the four children saw a live fish, and it was extremely lethal. After Shao Xuan let them go, he immediately picked up the wooden stick he brought with him and smashed it hard at the fish, especially Tu, who was too timid. Leaning forward, while waving a wooden stick to hit the fish head, he also screamed in horror, which made Shao Xuan want to beat him.

"Okay, okay! Stop!" Shao Xuan stopped them and pulled the four children who were waving sticks around the fish away.

Shao Xuan told them about the danger of this kind of fish from the very beginning, and asked them to bring longer tools and be on guard when fishing. Now, the four children are on guard, but unfortunately the first time fishing is the first hunting in their lives. They are too excited, and all kinds of emotions are mixed together. All vented out, the four of them joined forces, and for a while, when Shao Xuan pulled them away to look at the fish... It was a horrible sight.

Labeled like this, how to eat ah.

The first fish was thrown aside first, and Shao Xuan directed them to catch the second one. This time, the fish was finally kept intact. After killing the fish and taking out the internal organs, he went to the two soldiers to borrow fire and grilled the fish.

Although the fish that Shao Xuan brought back to the cave last night looked relatively large, it had too many bones, and the portion that could be eaten was not large. In addition to the more than 20 children in the cave, it was divided into the mouths of each of them. There are very few. But not today.

A half-meter-long fish is divided into five people, and no matter how many fish bones, everyone can eat a lot.

The four children were very excited. They lacked words and didn't know how to express them. They had to worry about eating, so they could only laugh, like **.

"It's delicious," Tu said.

"Well, eat fish to nourish the brain." Shao Xuan said.

"What's tonic?" a child asked.

Shao Xuan thought for a while and explained simply: "You guys will grow better."

"Looking...more...better, is...not...just...can become...stronger...bigger? Same as...picture...totem...fighter...?" stuttered.

Hearing the stuttering words, the other three children also looked up at Shao Xuan, their eyes shining.

Although the children in the cave are fierce in temperament, they do not hide their emotions very much. They can see what they are thinking.

At this moment, the four children looked at Shao Xuan's expression and seemed to be urging Shao Xuan: Say it quickly, say it quickly, as long as it is good, we will believe what you say.

So, Shao Xuan swallowed back what he was about to say, paused, and then said "um" against his will.

The river was gently buffering and brushing the river bank, and the water seemed calm, but just now, Shao Xuan "saw" the image of the fish mouth full of fangs, which was much larger than yesterday's, but the image was lighter, probably the big one. The fish are farther away.

In the endless freshwater river, danger and opportunity coexist.

Winter rations are here. Shao Xuan thought to himself.
