Chapter 26 Feast outside the cave

One kilometer northeast of Longgu Mountain, there is a gurgling stream where the Shangdingdong people drank water and bathed on a daily basis.

Luo Jiu and the others chatted and laughed while waiting. After about half an hour, the group of cavemen who had escaped came back.

Good news, the clothes were not lost because they were all wet and stuck to their bodies.

They had no shoes, and after walking all the way here after taking a shower, their feet were evenly covered with a layer of mud.

Zhong Jialing was dumbfounded and didn't know how to comment. She wanted to say something but stopped herself several times.

"Forget it." Luo Jiu pinched her shoulders. "I just learned how to put on clothes. It takes time to adapt. Take your time and teach me slowly."

Although each of them was given a stool, they were still in the habit of sitting on the ground, putting their plates on the stool, their eyes drifting back and forth between the two pots, as if they had been hungry for ten thousand years.

The meat would have to wait for an hour or two. Luo Jiu thought about it and asked Feng Qi to hang a screen at the entrance of the cave and take out the projector.

Feng Qi followed her curiously, "What movie are you showing them?"

Luo Jiu smiled and said, "A teaching film."

Feng Qi was just wondering when he saw a line of subtitles in both Chinese and English appear on the screen: "Wild Survivor Season 1".

Feng Qi was silent. This was indeed a teaching film for the cavemen. Even though Bear Grylls spoke English, it would not bother them because they could not understand Chinese.

In the first shot, Bear Grylls jumped out of a plane, and the group of people were so scared that they almost dropped their jaws.

Some people even rushed over and tried to hold him back, but ended up falling to the ground, with their wet clothes covered in dirt, which made the four of them laugh.

The cavemen were so fascinated by the scene that the fire on the stove burned brightly.

Two hours later, the meat was almost done. Feng Qi also put the bear meat skewers on the grill, greased them and grilled them.

As the soup came out of the pot, the aroma of barbecue wafted over there.

Luo Jiu quickly communicated with Datian and asked her to organize everyone to line up for food.

Each person had a bowl of sauerkraut bear bone soup, a large piece of bear bone, a full spoonful of bear meat stewed with mushrooms and chicken, and five skewers of bear meat. These cavemen were drooling as they held their plates.

No one knew what Datian’s mother said, but these people looked at Luo Jiu and the others, not picking up their chopsticks for a long time, and just waiting eagerly.

Feng Qi rubbed his neck, "What do you mean? Are you afraid it's poisonous? Don't worry, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs."

Luo Jiu chuckled, "I think they want us to eat first. They mean it as a sign of respect. Eat quickly, or their saliva will soon flow to the ground."

The four of them sat down at the round table and clinked their glasses with bear bone soup, "Cheers!"

Luo Jiu first took a sip of the delicious and appetizing soup, then waved his hand to signal them, "Eat!"

Since the birth of mankind, no one has ever had such a delicious and varied meal. For these cavemen, this is simply a feast for the gluttons.

It turns out that meat can be so fragrant, can be cooked in so many ways, and can have such rich layers of flavor.

They pulled a piece of bear meat from the skewer and ate it clean, even the cumin seeds.

They drank the soup in big gulps, and even though their faces turned red from the scalding, they were reluctant to spit it out.

They tore the flesh off the bear bones with such force that it seemed as if they were seeking revenge on the black bear.

They are still not used to using chopsticks. They hold the chopsticks in their hands while chewing for a few bites, and then put them down and use their hands directly when eating.

Cheng Yaoyao was a little scared when she saw this scene. "They are eating so fast, they won't choke or die of stuffing, right?"

Zhong Jialing snickered, "It's obvious that they have a big appetite. They must have often not eaten enough before. How could they be full so easily? These things may not be enough."

Cheng Yaoyao looked at the surrounding environment and the cavemen with voracious appetites and said with a smile, "I feel like I'm back in the village for a feast. There's a tent set up in the open space, a table in the tent, dirt underfoot, and a group of people around me wolfing down the food."

The four of them burst into laughter. They all enjoyed the breeze, the delicious food, and a satisfying meal.

Today we hunted bears and fired weapons, and also spent a lot of effort communicating with the cavemen. Luo Jiu does not plan to arrange any other itineraries for everyone, and will use the rest of the time to rest.

After the meal, they took a group nap and were too lazy to clean up their things. Anyway, most of them were used by the cavemen, so they just gave them the things after they were done with them. The four of them would not use them even if they came back.

There was half a pot of food left in each of the two pots. Cheng Yaoyao served a large bowl of each and asked them to take the rest away, including the pots and stove.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. They have already watched and learned how to cook, and we have given them the pot. Let them study it on their own.

Oh, there were still five large basins of raw bear meat left. Cheng Yaoyao asked them to take three basins away, because the woman was pregnant and sick, and she couldn't let them starve.

As for the bucket of frying oil, Zhong Jialing spent a lot of time explaining to them that only a little bit could be used for each dish.

The midday sun made people really tired. Luo Jiu ordered the others to take their plates and cutlery, as well as other things they needed to take away, and leave quickly because they needed to rest.

Datian's mother looked very anxious and kept gesturing while grabbing Luo Jiu's arm.

Luo Jiu was confused, "What do you mean?"

Datian, as the caveman who was best at communication, came over to translate immediately.

She stuffed the broom into Luo Jiu's hand and said, "Take it." She took it herself, and then she said to Luo Jiu again, "Take it."

Luo Jiu: "You've already taken it? Do you want another one?"

Datian was anxious and brought a stone to her, "Take it."

"I don't want it. I don't need it...ah!" Luo Jiu suddenly realized, "You guys want to give us something too, right?"

Luo Jiu thought about it. The space upgrade conditions have not been opened yet, and they really don't need anything at the moment. If the cavemen must "fulfill their filial piety", then they can just chop some trees. They have to chop trees every day anyway.

So Luo Jiu took out a wood saw. They had several kinds of saws, including wood saws, electric saws and cutting machines, but this ordinary wood saw was the easiest for primitive people to use.

Luo Jiu used a small branch next to the cave to show Da Tian how to use the saw. The sawed firewood was thrown at the entrance of the cave to indicate that it would be kept.

Luo Jiu pointed to the grove next to them and told Datian that if they insisted on giving them something, he should give them some wood.

Datian looked at the forest and took the saw, as if he understood what he meant.

The cavemen returned home with rich gifts.

Before going to bed, the four of them made some simple modifications to the cave.

Before, they were afraid that the target would be too obvious and be discovered by the cavemen. Now that they are all a family, they can arrange it as they please.

A layer of rainproof cloth was hung outside the door curtain at the entrance of the cave, and a few slender stones were picked up to make a simple waterproof threshold. All the things in the cave were put away and rearranged.

With the thought that they might live here for a long time, everyone tried to make the place as comfortable as possible and used everything they could.

First lay a layer of rainproof cloth on the ground, then a layer of moisture-proof mat, and then the floor mat.

The original large tent was folded up and replaced with two sofa beds, with mosquito-proof curtains hung on them so that everyone could sleep more comfortably at night.

Although everyone is very tired after getting up early and working until now, they all enjoy cleaning up their warm little home.

Zhong Jialing took out the quilt and latex pillow that she had carefully selected, and replaced the two double beds with new four-piece sets.

She held the slightly dirty bed sheet and asked hesitantly, "I'm a bit lazy to wash it. Would it be rude to give it to Da Tian?"

Luo Jiu took a look and saw that the bed sheet was just stained with dirt. "To be honest, she just learned how to dress herself today. If you give her such a large piece of cloth, she will definitely be very happy. Don't worry about whether it's polite or not. They grew up naked and don't know what etiquette is. As long as we give them something that they can use, it will be considered a good deed."

Luo Jiu hung a row of wind chimes at the door so that they could wake up immediately if someone broke in.

"Everyone is tired, let's have a good sleep."

The four of them slept particularly soundly. Perhaps it was because they felt more secure after conquering the cavemen. Perhaps it was because they felt more accomplished after hunting down a black bear in one minute and twenty seconds. Or perhaps it was because they had a very satisfying lunch.

Feng Qi closed his eyes and kept muttering: "No wonder we are not allowed to hunt wild animals. The quality of the meat is indeed different."

"Yeah." Cheng Yaoyao replied dazedly, "There are still a lot left. I put the bear paws away. We'll have braised bear paws tonight."

Zhong Jialing began to look forward to the evening as she listened, muttering, "I want to eat bear paws now."

Cheng Yaoyao snorted, "You look like a bear paw."

Luo Jiu was listening to them talking and was about to fall asleep when Feng Qi suddenly poked him on the shoulder.

Luo Jiu: “Hmm?”

Feng Qi: "You said, the condition for upgrading the space again is not that we have to kill the cavemen, right? They are very nice people, I can't do that to them."

Luo Jiu opened his eyes and rolled his eyes, "I know, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, go to sleep, Auntie."

"Go to sleep, second mom."

When they thought about everyone becoming mothers for no apparent reason, the four of them laughed until they were shaking on the bed. Finally, they were tired of laughing and fell asleep.

Everyone slept soundly for a long time, and when Feng Qi opened his eyes, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

She stretched herself. She had drunk too much soup at noon, so she wanted to go to the toilet. She opened the curtain lightly, and as soon as she came out of the cave, she was so surprised by the scene in front of her that she was speechless. She instinctively shouted, "Ah!"

The shout startled the other three people awake. Zhong Jialing asked, "What happened? Did you step on the mouse's tail?"

Cheng Yaoyao: "Sister Qi is becoming more and more like a caveman."

Luo Jiu rubbed his eyes and said, "Let's go out and have a look. Was he bitten by a snake?"

Zhong Jialing jumped up with a start, rushed out of the cave, and then let out a scream.

Cheng Yaoyao sat up suddenly, "Could it be that both of them were bitten by the snake?"
