back to prehistoric savage

Chapter 18
The uncle didn't understand what it meant, thinking that Zhang Tian didn't understand the rules of the tribe, so he briefly explained the reason.

Zhang Tian understood the truth, but he still insisted on his own opinion.

The second uncle said: "For God's sake, the other party's feet are about the same size as Xiao's. They are either children or women. What are you afraid of?"

"Who's afraid?"

The uncle was a little sullen, he was very resistant to the word "fear", as if he was very timid.

"Shh!"

Zhang Tian made a silent gesture.

There was a rustling sound from the bushes on the other side of the camp, the grass was shaking, and a gray and white slender figure emerged from the trees. She was tied into a ponytail, her hair was greasy and dull, and her face was ashen and tired, as if she had just finished working in a quarry. A white coat was almost dyed khaki.

Although he was mentally prepared, Zhang Tian was still shocked from ear to ear.

He recognized the other person at a glance. The archaeology student who disappeared at the excavation site of the tea town ruins, he remembered that the name was Lin Yu. At this time, she was almost completely different from the young and beautiful girl in the photo. She must have been in the primitive mountain forest. Life in Liqiu was not easy.

Zhang Tian didn't know whether to be happy or regretful.

Lin Yu sat on the ground, unaware of the four pairs of eyes watching from the bushes behind her, staring gloomily at the tree barrel in front of her.

Her lunch is rich, snails, slugs and worms are high-protein food, the young hops smell like chrysanthemum tea, and the fungi and liverworts scraped from the bark can provide the minerals necessary for the human body And vitamins, this tube of Cordyceps feast, full of nutrition, looks very appetizing.

Of course, no matter how many times she ate it, she still felt that earthworms were the most difficult to swallow, and the earthy smell that overflowed her nose and mouth could not be completely removed no matter whether it was roasted or boiled.

She couldn't help but miss the smell of squirrels, but it's a pity that she only caught them once after being here for so many days.

"call……"

She picked up the tree tube and blew air towards the scalding water. Her eyes were glistening with hunger, and her saliva was constantly secreting.

She raised her neck, gulped and gulped, and swallowed it whole. Not chewing was her last stubbornness.

The hot water entered her throat, and the food was eaten. The heat quickly spread to her limbs and bones. Her body gradually warmed up, and her dark eyes also regained some brilliance.

The tree barrel bottomed out, revealing a pure white and flawless stone that looked like jade but not jade. This was an ancient artifact she unearthed from the ruins of the tea town.

When it was unearthed, it was covered with mud, no different from ordinary stones, and no one cared about it. Later, after cleaning, she found that the stone was as round as a bead, with an unusually smooth surface, and it did not seem to be formed naturally.

Why did humans polish a stone to this point more than 1 years ago? This is of no help to hunting and gathering. How did they use simple tools to polish the stone so round and smooth that it is not inferior to modern technology.

A series of questions emerged in her mind.

Lin Yu realized the potential value of this stone for studying the culture and technology of primitive society. He was very excited, so he took the stone back to the temporary workstation and worked overtime to clean up and preserve it more carefully and properly.

After being busy until midnight, she lay down on the table to rest. Who would have thought that when she woke up, she would be in a different world. Except for this stone, the notepad, and the mobile phone that she carried with her, there was no other familiar things around her, only the endless stretches of strangeness. mountains, forests and forests.

She has climbed over thirteen mountains, but there is still no end in sight, and she has never met a living person.

To this day, she still doesn't understand what happened, let alone where she is. If it was a dream, it would be too real, and she can clearly perceive the subtle difference in taste between snails and slugs .

She licked her lips intently, took out the white stone from the tree tube, wiped it dry with leaves, and put it in her pocket.

It seems to have the function of absorbing impurities. After heating it with fire and throwing it into the water, it can make the river water clear and pure at the same time. She has been cooking food in this way for the past few days. Although she can’t eat enough, she doesn’t Diarrhea or other discomfort occurs.

Zhang Tian kindly waited for her to finish eating, and then called his uncle and second uncle to do it.

He thought that after his instructions, the uncles would know how to measure, but he obviously underestimated the wildness of primitive people.

The second uncle turned the stone spear and rushed out of the bushes quickly like a seasoned special soldier. Lin Yu turned her head suddenly, and before she could utter a scream, a wooden stick gave her a head-on blow.

All this happened in a blink of an eye, and when Zhang Tian caught up with his second uncle, Lin Yu was already prostrate on the ground, unconscious.

The second uncle probed her breath, grinned at Zhang Tian and said, "She's not dead."

Zhang Tian didn't want to pay attention to him, and reached into Lin Yu's pocket to grope, and found out a mobile phone with an exhausted battery, a ballpoint pen, a portable coil book, and a pure white and flawless stone.

"what is this?"

Xiao picked up the phone. It was slightly larger than the palm of his hand. It didn't look like a stone. One side was white and the other was black. There was a fruit drawn on the white side, but a piece was missing, as if someone had bitten it.

He bent his knuckles and tapped on the black side, making a crisp sound, much like the sound of a frozen river hitting the ice surface.

My uncle is more interested in the wild man's feet. They are black and not autumnal. They look like they haven't been washed for 800 years, but they don't smell bad. I lie down and observe carefully. There are stripes and flowers engraved on the soles of the feet. The footprints by the river are hers. left.

Oddly enough, this wild man has no toes!

It turned out to be a freak, no wonder he was expelled from the tribe.He made a judgment in his mind.

The second uncle went into the camp and looked around, but there was nothing there, so he couldn't help being a little disappointed. Seeing her whole body, the clothes seemed to be of some value. Although they weren't as thick as animal hides, they were better than leaves, and they were considered trophies.

Just as he was about to take off the savage's clothes, Zhang Tian took out the hemp rope, found another thick piece of wood, and tied the savage to the wood in the same way as tying wild animals.

The second uncle was surprised: "What are you doing?"

"Tie her up and take her back."

"She's a savage!"

Not only the second uncle, but also the uncle was stunned, bringing the wild man of unknown origin back to the cave, isn't this leading wolves into the house?
Xiao remembered what Grandma said: "Grandma said that only those who have been kicked out of the tribe will act alone. These savages are more dangerous than wild beasts, and some even eat people!"

Their concerns are not unreasonable. Compassion and mercy are only applicable to members of the same tribe. In this primitive mountain forest, two-legged beasts with malicious intentions are far more threatening than wild beasts, not to mention that now is the time when food is in short supply. A person with an extra mouth should not take the savage back because of emotion and reason.

If Zhang Tian didn't know Lin Yu's origin, he would definitely ignore it without hesitation. Now that he encountered it, he couldn't ignore it.Besides, this matter is a bit bizarre, Lin Yu and his game are at odds, why did he appear here?
Claiming to be the guidance of the sky and the ancestors, it is possible to take her back by force regardless of public opinion, but doing so will inevitably make many people suspicious and dissatisfied.

He thought for a while and said, "Are you afraid of a woman?"

"I'm not afraid!" the uncle defended himself, "She is not an ordinary woman, you see, she has no toes!"

He pointed to the black canvas shoes on Lin Yu's feet, the expressions of the second uncle and Xiao changed at the same time, it was really scary, how could someone's feet look like this!
Zhang Tian took off his canvas shoes skillfully: "This is called a shoe."

Then he took off the white stockings: "This is called a sock."

Finally, pointing to the exposed feet, he said, "This is the foot. Take a closer look. Is there any difference from your feet?"
