Chapter 10 The Horde of Water Shortage

"It's time to dig." Ye Xi announced.

Before Ye Xi could stand up, Cone Xian couldn't wait to rush up, pouting his butt and smashing the soil.

Ye Xi was stunned.

The cone speed is very fast, and a sweet potato is smashed in three or two strokes.

The red and bright sweet potatoes are plump, honest and cute. The sweet potatoes just out of the oven are still very hot, and the cones are so hot that they sizzle in their hands, but they are reluctant to let them go.

"Hey, this stuff tastes good raw, but you said it tastes better when it's cooked, so I'll give it a try."

Saying that, ignoring the hot mouth, he took a big bite without peeling the skin.

"Hey, it's so hot, so hot! It's delicious!" Cone said indistinctly in his mouth.

"..."

"This stuff is cooked and easy to peel." Ye Xi reminded kindly.

"Oh, oh" Cone responded vaguely, and took another bite.

Ye Xi covered his forehead, well, primitive people are not so particular, he should get used to it.

Ye Xi greeted the other people who didn't move: "You guys eat too."

Because this was Ye Xi's sweet potato, the others were embarrassed to move without a thick skin. Hearing Ye Xi's greeting, a child couldn't bear it at first, and rushed up to start digging.

"It's okay, you can eat it." Ye Xi just ate a piece of meat, so he couldn't be so stingy.

When the others heard it, they were no longer hypocritical, and went up to pick up sweet potatoes.

These sweet potatoes aren't big, but the plump bunch has so many roots, there's something for everyone.

"Well, it's delicious, so sweet."

Satisfied with food all the time.

Ye Xi also took a sweet potato, peeled it, and started to eat it.

Since there was already wild boar to fill his stomach, Ye Xi was not so eager for the sweet potato, and bit by bit slowly. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of two women looking at him not far away.

The two women he knew were the Langya tribesmen who were captured here with him, one was called Pheasant Eye, and the other was biting cuckoo. Although I didn't help Song Cao in my memory, I didn't bully him either.

The two of them looked at Ye Xi, hesitating and hesitating to come over.

Ye Xi ate the remaining sweet potatoes in one bite, stood up and walked beside them, and asked directly, "Are you looking for me?"

The pheasant kicked the soil with his feet, and he said, "Songcao, how come you have become a disciple of the witch."

In her memory, Song Cao was a kid whose dead parents were bullied by others, but suddenly became a witch disciple.

Bituan hurriedly hit the pheasant's arm and whispered blame: "What's the name of Songcao, he is now called Ye Xi."

Ye Xi smiled embarrassedly: "That Master Wu changed it for me."

Now he doesn't have to worry about the name issue anymore, he can just push the issue to the fabricated witch.

Pheasant and Yaoju suddenly realized, no wonder, it was his teacher Wu who changed the name.

Yaoju is a neat person, not as shy as pheasant: "We are here to thank you, thanks to you we don't have to be slaves, or we will be eaten one day."

The slaves in the tribe are the reserves of grain, they are roasted and eaten when they are hungry, and they are roasted and eaten when they are greedy. In short, they are not individuals, but livestock like pigs and sheep.

Women are a little better, and will save for having children, but if the tribe is really short of food, they may also be killed.

Ye Xi shook his head to indicate that it was nothing.

Pheasant said sadly: "Now there are only three of us left in the wolf tooth tribe, we have to live well."

Ye Xi was silent, wondering what the tragic situation was for the people who fell into the Heize tribe.

After chatting for a few more words, the three of them looked at each other silently, Chi Mu and Yajuan said their goodbyes, and Ye Xi returned to the crowd.

The tribal people eating by the fire looked sweet and the atmosphere was very happy.

The two women said excitedly while eating: "I heard that this sweet potato is very easy to dig,

Tomorrow we'll go dig more. "

"Mmmm." The woman next to her agreed while eating, just have something to fill her stomach! It feels so good to have a full stomach!

"Cough, cough, cough." A child choked on eating too quickly, his face flushed from coughing, and a woman next to him kept patting him on the back, but the child was still coughing so badly that he could hardly breathe .

"Just give him some water." Ye Xi said to the child's mother.

Sweet potatoes should not be eaten in a hurry, and they should be drunk with water to avoid choking. This is a common sense known to modern people.

Unexpectedly, the people of the tribe didn't know and didn't care, and they were too hungry and eager, and Ye Xi forgot to remind them.

The woman looked anxious and shook her head at him.

Yong explained: "Don't waste water so much, blood will do."

At this time, a man brought up an animal that looked both like a hare and a wild mouse. The animal was still alive, and was neighing and struggling in his hands.

Most blood clots easily once it leaves the body, so tribes generally kill and drink now to avoid waste.

The man slashed the animal's neck with a stone knife in his hand, bringing the wound close to the child's mouth.

The child held the small animal and greedily drank the blood, grunting, gulps of blood, and finally stopped coughing.

Ye Xi asked Yong: "Is drinking water a waste?" Ye Xi's memory was not complete, and many common sense things were missed.

Yong glanced at Ye Xi in surprise, and felt that it was strange that Ye Xi asked this question, but he explained it again:

"It's too dangerous to get water. There are too many terrifying water beasts in the lake. In order to reduce casualties, we naturally drink blood if we can."

Yong did not question why Ye Xi asked such a common-sense question. For the tribesmen, once they accept that Ye Xi is a member of their tribe, they will never doubt him again, and situations like strangling of the neck will never happen again.

"There's a lake near the tribe?"

"Well, but what's the use of that lake being close, it's too dangerous."

Ye Xi frowned and pondered, if it was because of the water beasts in the lake that he did not dare to fetch water, is there a way to solve it? This problem has to be solved. If nothing else, he can't stand without water to drink all the time.

After dinner, night fell.

The cave was dark.

The chief walked in front with a torch, and Ye Xi followed behind the chief with the food that belonged to him.

Ye Xi turned into a disciple of the witch, and the place to sleep was rearranged, so there was no need to sleep at the entrance of the cave.

Many people in the cave have already made their beds and are lying in rows, ready to fall asleep.

At first glance, the whole cave looks like a big pass.

The chief walked steadily, holding a torch in front of him, leading Ye Xi through them, and walked straight forward.

The flame of the torch jumped, and Ye Xi carefully avoided a person lying on the ground by the brightness.

After the sleeper was no longer visible on the ground, the chief didn't stop and led him to the depths of the cave.

The depths of the cave twist and twist, and no light can penetrate it. If there is no torch, it must be so dark that you can't even see your fingers.

Ye Xi was a little surprised. He saw that the mountain was not small. He expected that the cave might be deep, but he didn't expect it to be so deep. There are many warriors in the Tushan tribe, but it is still unimaginable to excavate such a large cave... This project is still unimaginable.

After walking through a narrow road, it suddenly opened up.

In front of him was a huge circular space. Under the brightness of the torches, he could see five dark holes on the rock wall of this space.

The chief led him into one of the holes.

The entrance of the cave is not large, only one person can pass through, but there is a unique cave inside.

Chief: "The warriors above the second level in the tribe have their own separate caves. You are a disciple of the witch, and you have a special status. You will also have your own cave. In the future, this place will belong to you."

Ye Xi did not speak, but stood in the cave and looked around.

This stone cave is spacious, the area is estimated to be ten square meters, and the height is two meters five.

Ye Xisi pointed out that the reason why the top of the cave was excavated so high might be due to the abnormal height of the warriors. Xiangyong's height was two meters. If the height of the cave was not high enough, the warriors would definitely be awkward to live in.

"Thank you, it's fine here."

Originally, he thought that he would be assigned a place inside, but he did not expect to be assigned a separate cave, which was a pleasant surprise.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you some animal skins."

Ye Xi nodded. After the chief walked away with the torch, the brightness brought by the flame disappeared instantly, and the cave was plunged into darkness.

Ye Xi felt the dark and put the food in his hands into the corner.

After a while, the chief came back with two hides.

"This is the skin of the giant hyena, and it is for you to put under it. This is the skin of the antler rabbit, which is relatively soft, so it is covered for you to avoid catching a cold."

Ye Xi took the animal skin.

The hide is thick and soft, smelling like sunshine, and it can be seen that it has been well treated.

Ye Xi spread out the hide of the giant hyena beast on the ground.

After spreading it out, it was discovered that the hide was very large, with a length and width of two meters. Ye Xi couldn't help but click his tongue, this is a complete animal skin, how big of an animal would it take to peel off a piece of such animal skin! At least not in his impression of tigers and brown bears.

The skin of the other staghorn rabbit is white and extremely smooth to the touch, even comparable to modern furs that have undergone a series of complicated processes. This piece of animal skin is a little smaller, but there is no problem covering his entire body.

Prehistoric rabbits are so big...

"Thank you, Chief."

Seeing that Ye Xi was satisfied with the animal skin, the chief nodded, "Then I'll go first, and call me if you need anything."

"OK."

After the chief left, the cave fell into darkness again.

Ye Xi felt the darkness and lay on the hide.

The animal skin was soft and comfortable, and Ye Xi sank into it.

He opened his eyes and looked at the top of the stone cave. After a long time, his eyes had completely adapted to the darkness, but his eyes were still pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

This cave is where he will live in this prehistoric jungle... Ye Xi thought.

It must be very dangerous outside the cave at this time, but I am safe now.

Although unusually simple, for the first time since crossing into this cruel world, he felt a sense of security.
