The raft slowly approached a gap in the earthen wall. Dozens of sturdy men with animal skins wrapped around their waists and holding wooden spears saw the raft returning. They waved their spears and cheered.

On the raft, a tall and strong man raised a wooden spear with both hands and shouted loudly: "Meat! Lots of meat! Haha!"

The cheers became louder as the huge raft approached the gap. The strong men hurriedly grabbed the prey on the raft and threw it to the strong men standing on the shore.

More people ran out of the village, gesticulating and commenting on the harvest on the raft.

Several old men wearing animal skins and with old faces walked over slowly. The crowd parted to the left and right. Several old men walked to the raft and looked at the huge prey with satisfaction.

"Bear, good thing. This time, your group came back the latest, but we got the most prey. It's good that this rainy season will be better." An old man counted the number of prey on the raft with his fingers and laughed happily.

"Huh? You, brought someone back?" An old man who looked the oldest, with wrinkles all over his face and a chain of animal teeth hanging around his neck frowned. His eyes were not on the prey, but on Chu Tian at a glance.

Lord Rat jumped onto Chu Tian's forehead. He stood up but didn't dare to speak. He just squeaked and bowed to the old men who were obviously the leaders of the village.

Several old men hesitated for a moment. They looked at the wounds on Chu Tian's body that had already healed. Finally, the oldest old man sighed and said, "I don't know which village this child is from. But he is still alive, so we can't throw him away."

Shaking his head, the old man said slowly: "Take him back to the village and raise him. When his injury heals, he will work hard for our village."

The old man walked up to Chu Tian, ​​stretched out his hand and pressed hard on the muscles on Chu Tian's arm. Chu Tian's body was extremely strong. When he was touched by external force while in a coma, his muscles tightened automatically and the muscles on his arms suddenly became extremely hard.

The old man smiled happily and nodded with satisfaction: "What strong arms and legs! Hey, he's a good kid who can work. It won't be a loss. Take him home and take good care of him."

Lord Rat rolled his eyes. When these old guys said "take it home and raise it well", their tone was as if they were raising a large animal.

However, there was nothing he could do. Master Shu sighed heavily. This broken place was very weird. Let's wait until Chu Tian wakes up before we talk about anything.

A few old men whispered a few words, then gave some instructions. A strong man picked up Chu Tian and strode towards the village with Chu Tian and Shu Ye.

Lord Shu's eyes widened as he looked around the simple but neatly planned village. At the entrance of the village, Lord Shu saw a totem pole with a diameter of three feet and a height of ten feet. There were a lot of flame patterns carved on it, and a vague and crude human figure stood in the flames.

When the big man carrying Chu Tian and Shu Ye passed by the totem pole, he stopped very respectfully, bowed deeply to the totem pole, and muttered vaguely "May our ancestors bless you!"

Lord Rat blinked his eyes and said, "May the ancestors bless you?"

Is there a god in this village? I have to keep this in mind. When Chu Tian wakes up, I have to tell him about the situation here and don't break the taboos here.

The big man carried Chu Tian into the village and walked into a small courtyard.

"Wife, clean up a place for us. We will keep this baby in our house from now on." The big man shouted loudly and carried the unconscious Chu Tian into the low thatched hut.

The big man was over ten feet tall, but the height of the thatched hut was only about fifteen feet. Compared with the big man's height, the thatched hut did seem a little short. But the area inside the thatched hut was very large, more than ten feet long and about five feet wide. There was a square fire pit in the middle, and several pieces of charcoal the size of a human head were burning vigorously. The heat dispelled the cold and moisture in the air.

Two strong and simple-looking women came forward and took Chu Tian from the big man.

They spread a pile of hay in the corner of the thatched hut, laid a few thick animal skins on it, made a very comfortable straw nest, and placed Chu Tian on it.

The big man sat comfortably beside the fire, poured a bowl of hot water from a pottery jar, drank it comfortably, and then stretched out his legs to smoke with charcoal. After walking in the flood for a long time, the big man's legs were blistered and turned white. Under the smoke of charcoal, wisps of white steam rose from his feet, and there was a strange smell in the thatched house.

The two strong women touched the wounds on Chu Tian's body, then skillfully took down a stone medicine mortar from the windowsill of the house, took down a dozen kinds of herbs hanging under the eaves to dry, and used the medicine mortar to finely grind them into a medicinal paste, which they applied thickly on Chu Tian's body.

Lord Shu squatted beside Chu Tian with his eyes narrowed, watching the two strong women busying themselves.

The herbs they used were all good herbs for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and setting bones. Although the treatment method was a bit crude, it was indeed a good medicine for skin and flesh injuries and fractures.

It’s just that the quality of these herbs is low, their age is not old enough, and their medicinal properties are weak. They may have some effect on cultivators in the Anshen realm, but their effectiveness on masters of Chu Tian’s level is minimal.

The strong man seemed to be too tired from hunting in the water. After gnawing on two roasted tubers and eating a small piece of black barbecued meat, he leaned against the fire and fell into a deep sleep. Soon, he was snoring so loudly that the earth was shaking.

It was already dark outside, with thick clouds, no moon and no stars.

The violent storm was lashing at everything in the world crazily. Subtle sounds were heard everywhere in the small village. After the low roar that sounded like a panting cow lasted for more than an hour, the whole village fell completely silent.

The two strong women also lay down by the fire and fell asleep next to the big man.

Lord Shu waited until the entire village became quiet, then he quickly walked around the thatched hut. After making sure that no one was paying attention to the noise here, he ran to Chu Tian, ​​struggling violently.

After about a quarter of an hour, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of Rat Lord's mouth. He gasped for breath and with great difficulty ejected a thumb-sized golden pill from the huge storage space in his belly.

"This is terrible! Master Rat has all these skills, but how come when he gets here, it's like he's been possessed by a ghost and it becomes so difficult?"

While complaining and cursing his mother, Shu Ye quickly picked up the pill, pried open Chu Tian's mouth, and stuffed the pill in.

The pill melted in his mouth and turned into wisps of golden light that slowly merged into Chu Tian's body.

No words were spoken that night.
