Chapter 22 Tree Tribe (Please collect and recommend)
The wooden barrel that fell on the ground was very big, similar to the small water tank that Luo Chong burned himself. It was burned out of a whole log, that is, a solid wood stump, lit a fire in the middle, and burned out a space directly. Tsk, it's really smart.
From the looks of it, the two women just now should have come to fetch water. Now they just threw the wooden barrel away and ran away. Maybe they will bring others with them in a while.
Luo Chong had to arm himself first. He didn't care about getting wet now. He put on a robe and leather boots, carried a quiver and a longbow, put away the equipment in the backpack first, and repaired the broken straps. We will see the situation later. Even if we can't win and run away, we must take the most important things with us.
Just when Luo Chong was lighting a fire by the river and peeling fish skin, a burst of dense footsteps came from the forest in the distance, followed by a field of torches.
The two women who came to fetch water just now were among them. There were exactly 10 people, four men and six women, wearing white animal skin robes, barefoot, with loose hair, and skin as white as if they were painted with frost powder. The leader
was an adult man, about 16 or 17 years old, with a white face and no beard, a strong body, and a branch of a black tree in his hand, which seemed to be his weapon.
A group of people surrounded Luo Chong in a semicircle, and they were a little surprised to see the big fish behind Luo Chong. The scene was very quiet, and neither side spoke. Only the crackling sound of the burning torches remained.
The other party was also looking at Luo Chong, a child with tied hair, boots, and a backpack.
The man looked at Luo Chong and pointed at the wooden barrel next to him.
Oh, shit, you want a wooden barrel, why didn’t you say it earlier, making me nervous for a long time.
Luo Chong rolled his eyes speechlessly, picked up the wooden barrel with a spear and handed it to the leader of the other party, always facing them.
The leader took the barrel and handed it to a boy with a shamatte look, and the boy slowly walked around Luo Chong to fetch water.
"@#￥%……&&*……%》" The leader was talking in a jabbering voice, and pointed at the big fish behind Luo Chong.
This foreign language was hard to understand, but seeing that he was pointing at the fish, he would just give it to them, since it was so big that he couldn't finish it.
Luo Chong turned sideways and let the fish out. A group of people from the other side suddenly rushed over and beat the big fish violently, and several women among them even cried.
The leading man smiled, punched his chest with his fist, and then stretched out his fist to Luo Chong.
What the hell does this mean, a duel?
Luo Chong was confused, but seeing that the other side was smiling, he should not mean to fight, so he hesitated and bumped his fist with the other side.
The man laughed and hugged Luo Chong enthusiastically, and then chattered and communicated with Luo Chong with words and gestures.
Even if they couldn't speak the same language, they could still communicate through eye contact, facial expressions and body language.
Luo Chong told him that he came from the other side of the river, and pointed to his clothes, indicating that he was going to find an animal with horns on its head.
The man nodded to show that he understood, and then told Luo Chong that many people in their tribe had been eaten by this fish, and thanked him for killing this monster, and hoped to invite Luo Chong to visit their tribe.
Luo Chong thought about it, and it was already evening, so he simply agreed to his request. This tribe was only half a day's journey away from his own tribe, so he could get to know them first. If they had any special products, he could also find them to trade with in the future.
Luo Chong signaled them to carry the fish up, which was something that could be eaten. The man's tribe was very surprised, because in their impression, they had only been eaten by fish, and when had they ever eaten fish?
Because the fish was too big, they could only kill it first and then cut it up and take it away, so Luo Chong had to continue working.
The silver fish skin was peeled off, which was four meters long and three and a half meters wide. It was very smooth, elastic, and waterproof, and it must be kept well. All the internal organs except the fish bladder were thrown away, but Luo Chong actually found a lung in the internal organs.
Damn, it turned out to be a lungfish, a monster that is said to be able to bury itself in the soil for half a year in the dry season without dying.
The cleaned lungfish was cut into several large pieces and carried away. Luo Chong also carried the fish head and followed them back to their residence.
Their tribe was in the woods. Less than ten minutes after walking, they saw a huge tree house. Seven or eight black iron trees formed a large circle, with only one tree hole as the entrance and exit. The space inside was not very large, only about 100 square meters, and there was a fire pit in the open space in the middle.
They also burned tree holes in these big trees and used them as small rooms. The place was not big, but it was enough for them to live in. It was because there were too few people. From the leader to the baby, there were only 32 people in total.
This tribe living in the tree hole was called the Tree Tribe by Luo Chong. There were only five adult men in the Tree Tribe, a half-dead elder, a strong leader Dashu, a short but sturdy tree stump, a wooden barrel in the shape of a killer, it was said that he burned those barrels, and ended up burning his hair, and there was also a silly-looking honest man named Mutun.
There were 9 adult women, 11 teenagers over 6 years old, and 7 children under 6 years old. It can be said that the population is really sparse.
Since they have lived in this dark forest all their lives, their skin is very white, and they rarely get sun exposure, but that doesn't mean they don't know the outside world.
The half-dead tree elder took Luo Chong and the big tree to climb up to the observation tower, which is actually the roof of this huge tree house, woven from the branches of the big tree. The observation tower is higher than the surrounding black forest, and you can see far away.
The elder's eyes were slightly cloudy, and he couldn't see very far. He squinted his eyes and looked at the direction of the setting sun, then pointed to the east with his hand, muttering something.
The big tree next to him was also trying to translate for the elder.
"From that direction, out of the black forest, there is a mountain that looks like the clouds in the sky." The big tree translated and pointed to the fiery clouds in the sky.
"The previous elder told me that there is an animal with horns on that mountain, and they are as tall as humans." The big tree gestured a horn on his head, and then compared his height.
"That animal runs as fast as the wind, and has fur the same color as the sky. No one can catch it."
Luo Chong looked at the big tree with a confused look on his face. He guessed and understood roughly, thinking that it would be strange if you could catch it.
It has two sharp horns on its head, blue-gray fur, and is as tall as a human. It should be an animal like a large antelope. Even leopards may not be able to catch it. Can you catch it? You must set a trap.
Luo Chong seemed very confident, but the big tree and the tree elders did not have any hope for Luo Chong. Seeing that the elders were silent, the big tree recommended his own clothes to Luo Chong.
Luo Chong then noticed that the entire tree tribe was wearing clothes made of the same animal skin. According to the big tree, this was the skin of a large rabbit with a body length of more than half a meter, and it was snow-white all over. They like to eat moss and mushrooms in the woods. There are many in this black forest.
Luo Chong's eyes lit up. Rabbits are good things. You know, rabbits can give birth to more than five rabbits in one litter, just like mice. The little rabbits can give birth to more than five rabbits in one litter. The little rabbits can give birth to more than one rabbit every four months after they are born. If they can be domesticated
, a pair of adult rabbits can give birth to one rabbit every two months, giving birth to six rabbits a year, with an average of five rabbits per litter. That's 30 rabbits. Even if the little rabbits born start mating and giving birth from the sixth month, the number will increase exponentially.
If you can bring back two pairs of adult rabbits, there will be hundreds of rabbits a year. Luo Chong fantasized about the plan of raising rabbits, and his mouth was almost drooling.
