back to prehistoric savage

Chapter 26

"Langya, let me and Wolfpaw keep watch tonight."

Zhang Tian proposed to his uncle how to change shifts.

"How about that? You just stayed overnight two days ago, and it's my turn tonight."

"Next time it's my turn, help me watch. The moon is very bright tonight. I want to see the sky more."

"OK then."

Langya agreed.

It's time to sleep.

Lanhua asked: "Does this wild man still need to be tied up?"

She will ask this kind of question, which means that she is more inclined not to be tied.

This wild woman was nimble and clever, and she cried pitifully. Thinking of changing her to another tribe to suffer, the women couldn't bear it and wanted to treat her better.

Hutou said without hesitation: "Of course I have to be tied! She's a savage!"

"Let me do it."

Zhang Tian volunteered.

When Lin Yu saw that wild man called Tian walking towards him with a hemp rope, he knew he was about to be tied up again.

But this time, the other party tied it loosely, obviously to make him sleep more comfortably.

His heart is not bad, maybe he can be used as a breakthrough.

She thought of the men's attitude of avoiding and fearing her. The change in attitude happened after the conversation with Grandma, and Grandma must have restricted them from contacting her.

While he was binding her, she lowered her voice and said, "My rock."

Seeing no response from the other party, she repeated: "My stone."

Zhang Tian quickly tied the knot and walked away.

The clansmen fell to sleep one after another, men slept together, women and children slept together, the floor was covered with old animal skins, and the hairs had all fallen out, not much different from sleeping directly on the ground.

Wolfpaw added some firewood to the campfire, and said, "Remember to add firewood to the bacon fire, and call me when the firewood is almost burned."

Zhang Tian said hello.

The second uncle fell asleep, and soon there was a moderate snoring sound.

After everyone fell asleep, Zhang Tian took out the round white stone from the folds of his coat, held it up and showed it to Lin Yu on the other side of the cave.

Seeing that the white stone was indeed in his hands, Lin Yu finally felt at ease, as long as he didn't lose it, there would always be a way to get it back in the future.

It's a good thing that men keep her at arm's length, she can sleep soundly at night.

She is still too young.

As it turned out, men had other ways of keeping her awake, even if they weren't trying to get her in the way.

There were one after another snoring sounds in the cave, and the strong man named Tiger Head was particularly terrifying. His snoring was like decoration, smashing the wall for a while, and electric drill for a while.

The ground is cold and hard, and the night wind blows into the collar from time to time, making it impossible to sleep.

Lin Yu looked at the peacefully sleeping women with both admiration and envy.

Stretching his neck again, he looked at the night watchman on the other side of the cave, and saw that he was cutting and polishing all kinds of wood, but he didn't see what he wanted to do for a while.

She is well aware of the geographical environment and the uses of various plants, but she is not as proficient as Zhang Tian in making tools and survival skills in the wild.

Zhang Tian is preparing materials for bow making.

The bows I made before were very rough in order to save trouble, and the range and power were not satisfactory. It is enough for daily hunting, but it is not enough to deal with giant beasts such as mammoths, woolly rhinos and even saber-toothed tigers in the future. , not even better than stone spears and slings, the latter at least have better armor-piercing capabilities at close range.

He intends to make a horn bow.

The angle bow is a compound bow, the bow arm is made of multiple materials bonded together, the same bow body size, the mechanical efficiency is at least twice that of a single bow made of a single material.

In other words, you can only shoot 30 meters with the original bow, but you can shoot 60 meters away with the horn bow!
Choose hard bamboo to make the bow body, split it with a machete, scrape off the inner and outer branches, then bend the bow body to make it reach a suitable arc, and tie it with hemp rope to keep it in the arc.

He has only prepared three bow tires, and the current materials are only enough to make three, which already requires a lot of time and energy on him, and he will make more in the future.

When the men in the tribe use the upper horned bow, they will almost crush other tribes in terms of force. When the time comes to participate in the tribe meeting, they will have more confidence in facing those big tribes with more than a hundred people.

After he finished all this and looked up to the other side of the cave, Lin Yu was finally overwhelmed by sleepiness, and fell asleep in a daze against the cave wall.

He took out his notepad and ballpoint pen, turned to the end of Su Sui Nian, pondered for a while, and wrote with a rustling pen.

As the night darkened, the flames gradually faded.

Zhang Tian closed the notepad, got up and added some firewood to each fire, then shook his second uncle awake, and handed over the shift.

When I woke up, my back was sore and my neck hurt.

The rope has been untied.

Lin Yu rubbed his neck and found that the women were preparing breakfast, so he hurried forward, pointed to the lip-shaped herb in the bamboo basket and said, "Peppermint."

Lan Hua thought she was learning to speak, she smiled and nodded to show that her pronunciation was correct.

"Mint."

Lin Yu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of asking for it.

Lan Hua was a little surprised: "You want mint?"

Lin Yu nodded vigorously: "I want mint."

Lan Hua didn't think much, and gave her a mint herb.

Lin Yu pointed to the other two kinds of grass and said, "I want clover, and I want nettles."

"What do you want to do?"

Lan Hua knew that she didn't understand, so she didn't expect her to answer, so she asked casually, and then gave her what she wanted, just a few grasses, she could still make the decision.

Lin Yu tore mint, nettle and clover into small pieces and put them into a bamboo cup. These three kinds of herbs have the effect of refreshing the mind, clearing the intestines and defecating, so they are perfect for making a cup of morning tea.

She asked for some hot water, poured it into the cup, and immediately a refreshing aroma overflowed.

Lanhua sniffed, and couldn't help but admire: "It smells so good!"

Lin Yu gently blew air into the cup, took a sip to show that it was not poisonous after blowing it cool, then handed the bamboo cup to Lan Hua, gave a thumbs up and said, "Tea! Delicious!"

Lan Hua stared blankly at her thumbs up, thinking to herself: Why does this savage like to make strange gestures like the sky?

She took the bamboo cup and looked at the broken leaves floating in the cup. Usually only leftover soup would be in such a miserable state, but she saw the savages tearing up the leaves of grass and throwing them into the cup with her own eyes, so there must be some intentions .

She took a sip, and suddenly felt refreshed, the morning tiredness disappeared, the fresh fragrance lingered between her lips and teeth, and even her breathing became extremely free.

She asked in surprise, "What's this called?"

"Tea! Peppermint tea!"

"Tea...peppermint tea..."

Lan Hua nodded and wrote it down, then pulled Lin Yu to Grandma's side, and handed her the bamboo cup to the old man: "Grandma, try this."

After taking a sip of tea, Grandma's eyes seemed to clear up a bit.

"Okay, it's fragrant and sweet. I feel much refreshed after drinking this. What is this?"

Lan Hua pulled Lin Yu's clothes, and Lin Yu immediately said like a repeater: "Tea! Mint tea!"

Lan Hua smiled and said, "She did this, it seems that her former tribe taught her."

Grandma showed a warm smile: "What else will you do?"

Lin Yu tilted her head and looked at Lan Hua suspiciously, as if Lan Hua was her translator.

Grandma patted her forehead: "I forgot, she can't understand the words. How about it, if she wants to do anything in the future, you let her try."

Lanhua smiled and agreed.

Lin Yu also laughed. Although she didn't understand, she knew it must be a good thing, because she saw that the women were learning how to make mint tea with Lan Hua.

very good!Watch me conquer these barbarians with delicious food!she thought enthusiastically.

When the mint tea was brought to Zhang Tian, ​​he couldn't help laughing.

It's starting to move so soon...

Steam was rising from the bamboo cup, and he drank the tea slowly, gently stirring the broken bones in the bamboo cup with a bamboo stick.

A busy day starts with morning tea.
