The "chi chi" sound continued until the man who was rubbing the wooden stick with his hands felt that his hands were about to smoke, and finally smoke began to rise from the fire starter.
He sped up his hands and rubbed them vigorously a few more times, and the smoke rose even thicker.
So he stopped what he was doing, quickly moved the wooden stick away, picked up the smoking kindling, and blew it carefully.
Soon flames began to flicker.
He used the flame to light the rest of the firewood he had prepared in advance, and the room soon became bright.
Some people looked at the fire and couldn't help cheering.
When people looked at the primitive male who emerged from the fire, their eyes were filled with respect and admiration.
The eyes of several female primitive people were even more sparkling, and there seemed to be flames flickering in them.
This primitive male enjoys the admiration of everyone with peace of mind.
He carefully put away the tools used to make fire by drilling wood, and placed them in a higher place inside this strange cave. Then he used some stones that had just been brought in to surround the fire.
"#¥5Y^7~"
At this time, the older female primitive people had already led their men to gather the grain outside.
She walked in with her people, then came to the back of the room, bent down, carefully picked up a clay pot, and handed it solemnly to the person who came in with her.
The man took it very carefully and held it cautiously, fearing that it would fall to the ground.
The older female primitive bent down again, picked up another pottery jar from the ground, and handed it to another person.
After she spoke a few words to them, they nodded vigorously, holding the pottery jars in their arms, and accompanied by two other people, they came to the water's edge.
After filling the two pottery jars with water, they stood up and took turns carrying the pottery jars to the strange cave in groups of two.
After arranging these people to fetch water, the older female primitive was not idle either. She took out some things they brought this trip.
These are a few stones with some holes carved out on them, and a few wooden sticks.
After distributing these things to several people, she wrapped them in animal skins and brought in some rice from the rice pile outside and placed them in front of them.
These people began to pick up the small shelled fruits with their hands and put them into the stone pit.
After putting it down for a while, hold the wooden stick in your hand and pound it down.
Soon the sound of pounding rice could be heard in the room.
As they moved, the shells of the small fruits in the stone pit began to crack one after another, revealing the white fruits inside.
After doing this for a while, the people who had gone out to fetch water had returned.
The man in charge of lighting the fire had already lit another fire nearby and surrounded it with stones.
Seeing these people coming back from fetching water, he took the clay pots filled with water from their hands and placed them on the fire.
Because of the surrounding stones for support, the pottery jar was not directly pressed on the fire.
There was an extra clay pot on top, so the rising flames ran around the clay pot and surrounded it.
After placing the two pottery jars in order, the male primitive man then added firewood under the two pottery jars to make the flames burn more vigorously.
After a while, the older female primitive who had been watching the people pounding rice shouted to stop everyone.
Then have someone grab handfuls of the fruits from the pit, place them between their palms and blow on them.
As they blew, the shells of the crushed fruits flew out and fell to the ground, leaving only the white fruits in their palms.
Of course, the rice pounded in this way will not be particularly clean, as a lot of it will still have some shells on it.
But this is enough for the older female primitives.
The white fruits they blew out were placed into a wooden container.
After several people cleaned out all the fruits in the stone pit, the older female primitive picked up the wooden, roughly round container and poured all the white fruits inside into one of the pottery jars that had already started to steam.
While she was doing this, those who had just cleaned out the white fruits continued to put small fruits into the stone pit and continued pouring with sticks.
After a while, another batch of white fruits were cleaned out by them and poured into another pottery jar by the older female primitive.
After doing all this, the older female primitive people took out some fruits that they had collected on the road and gave them to everyone, asking them to start eating.
While she was chewing the fruit in her hand, she continued to take out some other things.
There were quite a few containers, the same ones she had used to hold the pounded white fruit.
They are all made of wood and are round containers that are not particularly regular.
After waiting for a while, a fragrance began to fill the room.
After a while, the male primitive man who had been burning the fire there picked up something and put it into the steaming pottery jar.
It was a tool made of a stick, a rope made from tree bark, and a round container similar to that of wood.
He inserted it inside, stirred it twice and pulled it out, and the container was filled with whitish soup.
He tilted the container to one side, and the soup in the container fell back into the pottery jar. The cooked white fruits that had grown a little big were revealed in the wooden container.
"#¥%@#!"
After he looked at it carefully, he seemed somewhat happy and said.
So, the older female primitive who was waiting on the side walked up, took the container with a long handle from his hand, and began to pour the soup and some boiled white fruits into a wooden container placed on the side.
After a while, these people started to drink the white, steaming soup from a container in their hands.
Compared with ordinary soups, this soup made with white fruits tastes more delicious.
When you finish drinking, boiled white fruits will appear at the bottom of the container.
Some can be poured directly into the mouth and eaten, while others stick to the edge of the container and cannot fall off.
When this happens, someone will use their finger to knock it off the wall and then continue to pour it into their mouth.
Time passed, and as the night deepened, the slave hut in Jinguan City began to become quiet.
After everyone finished drinking the soup made from the two jars of white fruits, they lay down on the hay and began to sleep.
It was the first time for many people to sleep in such a strange cave. They found it very novel and couldn’t sleep.
There were not many extra entertainment activities in primitive times, so it didn't take long before people here started humming primitive tunes.
Far away from here, the makeshift camp surrounded by ropes and sticks gradually became quiet.
Except for the deer chewing the cud and the two men keeping watch, everyone else was asleep.
After walking for a long time, everyone was very tired. Once they lay down here, they could fall asleep quickly.
Time passed quietly in the quiet night. Unknowingly, the darkness gradually faded away and the light came again.
As the light came, birds chirped in the bushes not far away, and sometimes they spread their wings and flew up.
The water droplets gathered at the tips of the dark green leaves could not withstand such shaking and fell to the ground.
The temporary camp where the Qingque tribe rested also became lively.
Some people led deer, donkeys, sheep and other animals to graze around the temporary camp, and took the opportunity to let the animals eat more grass while cooking and cleaning.
Otherwise, when they walk later, they will not have enough opportunities to eat grass peacefully.
In the morning light, smoke rises, and along with it spreads the aroma of food.
When the sun rose a little higher, the group of people, who had finished breakfast and packed up, led the animals and continued on their journey, heading south along the corrected route...
At the same time, the group of older female primitives who drank the porridge made from the white fruits spread out the small fruits that had gathered in a pile, and then continued to leave the slave hut of Jinguan City with their utensils to pick and collect these delicious white fruits...
The sun never gets tired. It repeats the same thing every day: rising from the east, slowly passing across the sky, and then setting in the west.
At this time, the sun was already a little west, and the sunlight was much softer than at noon.
The sunlight shines on the earth, making the whole world seem exceptionally quiet and peaceful.
However, this is only on the surface. If we focus our attention on each individual through this overall tranquility, we will find that this world is not as peaceful and beautiful as it seems on the surface.
“Squeak~”
The group of monkeys playing and catching lice on the trees suddenly became excited. Many monkeys screamed and jumped on the trees continuously.
A bird of prey folded its wings and swooped down like a sharp sword. Its copper-cast and iron-cast claws grabbed a half-grown monkey that hadn't reacted yet. The monkey flew away with a terrified wail.
A bee that was happily flying and humming a "buzz" song crashed into a large white net placed between two trees. The entire bee could no longer fly and was no longer happy.
It began to struggle desperately, trying to break free from this fatal restraint, and the whole net shook as a result.
The spider, which had been lying quietly in the middle of the web, immediately took action. It moved its long legs and quickly crawled to the side of the bird, then circled around it.
White silk threads flowed out from behind its belly and wrapped around the bee's body in circles.
After a while, the bee's struggles became less and less.
A primitive man wrapped in animal skins and with loose hair was running desperately.
There was some blood on her body.
As she ran, branches were constantly touched and hit her face and body.
However, she didn't care about all this. She was holding a baby in her arms, so she just held the baby tightly and ran desperately.
While running, she turned her head to look back from time to time, as if something extremely terrifying was chasing her.
The little baby in her mother's arms seemed to sense the coming of danger. She did not cry but looked around with fear in her eyes.
A net appeared in front of the female primitive. She was in such a hurry to run that she didn't see the net and bumped into it directly.
After breaking it, he continued to run away.
After feeling this huge shock, the spider was dumbfounded before it had time to be happy.
Because it was knocked to the ground.
The bee, which had been bound and was almost unable to struggle, seized this opportunity and struggled for a while, and finally flew back into the sky. Humming a "buzzing song", it left this horrible place in fear.
After the female primitive ran past, the branches gradually became quiet, and the spider slowly crawled back to the tree to repair its broken web.
“Clatter…”
This calmness lasted only for a moment before it was broken once again.
As the branches and leaves swayed, three more primitive men ran from the direction where the female primitive man who had just run past came from. After a short pause, they headed in the direction she had run.
In their hands they held weapons made of stone and bone.
Before the unfortunate spider could climb up the tree, a big foot dropped from the sky and trampled it into a puddle of water.
These people didn't feel anything at all and continued to chase forward.
Peace returned to this place once again, with only the broken spider web and the spider reduced to a pile of pulp left...
The female primitive had some injuries on her body, and she was holding a baby in her arms. She was not as physically strong as the male primitive, so she was gradually caught up.
"@#4%56!"
"@#%6!"
The male primitive behind was shouting loudly, and the female primitive became even more frightened.
She was already almost unable to run, but she didn't know where she got the strength from, but she started running again.
“Woo woo woo~”
“Woo woo woo~”
Suddenly, the howling of wild beasts was heard ahead, and soon several wolves appeared among the branches and leaves.
This sudden change made the female primitive confused, and she subconsciously wanted to change direction and run to the side.
However, the weeds and trees on the side were even denser, and the people chasing behind were almost there. If he crashed into that side, he would definitely be caught by the people behind.
The critical situation did not leave her any time to hesitate. After just a moment's hesitation, she gritted her teeth and rushed towards the direction of the wolves.
Sometimes, compared to wild beasts, our own kind are more frightening.
"What?!"
"who?!"
Just when she was ready to be torn apart by the wolves, an absolutely unexpected scene suddenly appeared before her.
There were strange-looking people in front of her. They were holding some strange weapons in their hands and shouting some words that she couldn't understand...
