Chapter 42
"Big witch, you should take it out more, and bring back more blue jays or blue jay eggs, and it will be no problem to make up."
"Okay." The blue bird is the bird they have raised the most after years of screening.As the name suggests, the blue bird has blue feathers and is a circle larger than a goose.After the weather warms up, an egg is laid every three days at most until autumn.Bluebird eggs are the size of goose eggs and taste great.Although bluebirds are ferocious, they are very friendly when raised well.Three years ago, because I sent a letter to raise too many bluebirds, and I was reluctant to kill them all, I let most of them go. As a result, in the spring of the next year, more than half of the bluebirds were found back by themselves.Since then, they have routinely released the Blue Jays.Now there are even many bluebirds who come back to sleep at night and go out to find food by themselves during the day, which can be regarded as a harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
As soon as the white bird left, Xiaoqing turned her head and hissed at the blue bird, as if complaining.
Bai Rui raised his hand and patted Xiaoqing's chin, Xiaoqing immediately put his head back on his body, be honest.
"Lie Xing, Bai Rui, should you go to the Mao tribe?" Father Hei fiddled with the fire in the firepit with a wooden stick.
"It's not time for the exchange yet?" Hunting Star asked suspiciously.
The Mao tribe actually had a great dependence on the original hunting tribe, and the two tribes married and exchanged items.Although the Mao Tribe does not have such a tight commodity as cloth, they are very good at making other items.In terms of straw mats alone, the mats they weave are wider, thicker, and smoother—compared with the craftsmanship of Xunxing.
Losing the Hunter Tribe, a large exchange family, the Mao Tribe should have fallen into a relatively difficult situation, but Bai Rui, a small settlement of more than a dozen people, soon completely replaced the Hunter Tribe.Even the Mao tribe prefers to exchange with Bai Rui and the others, because they are much more generous than the hunting axe.
The patriarch of the Mao tribe and the great witch invited Bai Rui to join the Mao tribe several times in the past six years, but they were all rejected.
"The two of you are not young anymore, and it's time to find a partner. Besides, I heard from the sheep hunters that when you two find a partner, their children will be able to find a partner. Bai Bird is twelve, and his elder brother Bai Feng also Fifteen. Lie Xing, you are already sixteen. As a witch, Bai Rui doesn't need to find a partner. In a few years, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, you will not be able to find a partner who is similar to your age." Hei Dad put the wooden stick away. When he came back, he threw it aside, and Bai Rui took it over.
This wooden stick was smooth and straight, not only did it not burn after being burned in the fire for a long time, but Bai Rui's hand also felt cold to the touch.This is one of Bai Rui's few synthesized items, and finally I have to admit that it is worth the money.Just such a small round stick with a diameter of two fingers.They can't burn, they are extremely hard and flexible at the same time, they are even more steel than the steel of later generations, but in fact they are extremely light in weight, and they can still float on water.
Bai Rui synthesized a long stick for Hei Dad and Lie Xing each as the stem of the stone grass. He has been thinking of using this synthetic wood to make a prosthetic leg for Lie Xing, but there are only a few fixed types of this kind of thing. Morphology, and there is nothing in the further synthesized list that can be combined into a prosthetic suitable for Starhunter.
"I have someone I want." Hunting Star said.
"Hey? Lie Xing, who are you looking for? Bai Feng?" Bai Rui was quite surprised, and curiously pushed his arm against Lie Xing. As a result, Lie Xing's expression made the hair on the back of Bai Rui's neck blow up. , "Hunting Xing, why are you... Dad Hei, why are you looking at me like this?"
"...Bai Rui, I have always said that you are very smart, but why are you so stupid sometimes?"
"Daddy Hei, can you tell me directly? I lost my sharpness a long time ago."
"Isn't it just a head of white hair? It's thin and light. When the light shines on it, it's no different from when it was sharp."
A white hair "Puff!" Thin and light, "Pfft!" It was no different from Rui's "Pfft!" Bai Rui only felt that three sharp arrows were nailed to his heart.
"Daddy Hei, don't talk about it." Lie Xing looked at Bai Rui so pitifully, "Bai Rui, your white hair really doesn't look so bald, you can still see that you have hair."
QWQ Xingxing probably doesn't know, he just gave Bai Rui a fatal blow.Hei Dad's words can also be said to be a joke between father and son, Lie Xing, you have a embarrassed and sincere face...
"I actually quite agree with Hei Dad's words, but I see you are so sad, so I say good words to comfort you" is almost like writing on your face!
"I don't agree with looking for a partner at such a young age." Bai Rui felt that if he continued to pester Rui about this issue, he might really vomit blood, so he quickly changed the subject, "I think this time I might as well go to the Mao tribe to bring some companions. Bai Feng and his children who are about the same age come back, and when they are eighteen or nineteen at the earliest..."
For this kind of behavior of looking for a partner, Bai Rui seems to be a crime, but the average life expectancy of primitive people is there. If we don't do this in this era, people will be extinct long ago.If he wanted to change, he had to establish an environment that could dramatically extend human lifespan.Now Bai Rui is in a state of a frightened snail, he has no such momentum at all.However, it is still impossible for him to ignore such a major event related to the people around him.In their current living conditions, it is no problem to give birth around the age of 20.
"You know me and your father were both of you when you were 19?"
Dad Hei smiled and said, Dad Guo didn't seem to be the most painful wound in this family anymore.But no matter what the true feelings of Papa Guo and Lie Xing were, at that moment, Bai Rui's heart throbbed, but on the surface he just protested with a smile: "Papa Guo and I were not born to Lie Xing." It cannot be argued that older women have better physical conditions. Most women in this era have already entered the aging period at the age of 20. Of course, men are the same.
"If he could give birth, it would have been more than just you two." Papa Hei pursed his lips triumphantly. At that moment, Bai Rui seemed to vaguely see Papa Guo sitting beside Papa Hei. He rolled his eyes at Papa Hei, but in the blink of an eye, that blurry illusion disappeared.Father Hei squeezed the meat and put it in a clay pot to rinse it, dipped it in the hot sauce and stuffed it into his mouth, "But life is really better now, it doesn't matter if you raise it for a few years."
"Hei Dad, let's go. We're going to the Mao tribe, so we'll be back in a few days."
"Go, go." Hei Dad nodded, his attention seemed to be completely focused on eating.
***
Out of the cave, a male bluebird with a bushy tail followed several bald-tailed female bluebirds past their cave.A few erhas lying nearby basking in the sun saw them appear and ran over immediately.The bluebird just brushed past them, and the two sides lived in peace.It was only after Xiaoqing also appeared that these big birds that walked leisurely suddenly puffed up the hair on their necks, flapped their wings and ran away at the fastest speed - in fact, bluebirds can fly, but there are a few The blue jays, who never leave winter, have gradually forgotten the role of their wings.Even if the long feathers on their wings were not pulled out, they would not be able to fly.
Bai Rui and Lie Xing stood at the entrance of the cave, and remained silent for a while.
Erhas surrounded them, headed by the deer legs, their furry and warm bodies kept rubbing against them.This silent comfort gradually warmed up the cold feeling in Bai Rui's heart. He looked at Lie Xing, and from the corner of the other's unconsciously upturned mouth, he also felt much better.
"Let's go to Lieman first." Liexing said, "Maybe they already have a target."
"Yes, I think so too. I always feel that you and I are just a cover."
"Pretend?"
"It's just standing in front of them."
"Pretend." Lie Xing nodded, indicating that he had learned the word.
——Why is everyone at home today, and there is no hunter?Too much prey is also a sweet obsession, especially with the production of bluebirds.It would be wasteful and indiscriminate to continue hunting every day.Therefore, when the food accumulates to a certain level, they will stop and rest for a day or two.
The cave full of them was much more lively than Bai Rui's. Three one- and two-year-old children were chasing each other at the door. They all looked healthy and lively.Lieman stood at the entrance of the cave with her belly upright. She was pregnant again, so she stopped hunting recently, but stayed at home to take care of the children.
"Big Witch, Xunxing." She clasped her fists and saluted the two of them.
"Are they all at the bird farm?" Bai Rui asked.
"Yes." Lieman picked up a stone from the ground and threw it on the head of a boy who was having a good time, "Go! Call Baifeng and the others back!"
"Wait! Not just Bai Feng, but everyone!"
"Are you going to Mao to bring someone back?" Lieman's reaction was quick, but strangely, she seemed not happy about this.
"Correct."
"Then... have you decided who to keep in Mao?"
"Keep?"
"Take one and keep one. This has always been the rule."
Bai Rui and Lie Xing looked at each other, Lie Xing asked: "Is it okay to give them more food?"
"At that time, there was a woman from the Mao tribe who ran back privately with the walking marriage. The people from the Mao tribe chased after them, and Hunting Axe asked the same question. But the answer from the Mao tribe was, either go to war or return the woman. Go back, or give them another person. In the end, Hunting Ax chose to give them another person."
"The small tribe can only do this." Bai Rui scratched the bridge of his nose, "If they don't, all their young men and women will run away."
"I don't have much wisdom, I don't know if it's because of this." Lieman shook his head, "However, if the big witch wants someone, he must first decide who to keep."
"..."
"Bai Rui, or we can go to Mao to discuss with their leader Da Wu first." Lie Xing asked in his ear, "We will come back and decide what to do when we have a conclusion."
"Well, Lieman, let's go first, when they come back, tell them what's going on for us."
When the team came back from the bird farm, Bai Rui and Lie Xing had disappeared.After hearing about their intentions, everyone behaved like Lieman, mixed with joy and sorrow.If possible, they would like to digest it internally.But when they came, the three children of the two families were all boys.After that, Lieman and Mao Bai were the only ones who gave birth to a girl, a girl whom everyone cherished like an eyeball, and now she is only one and a half years old.The other children also have no deeper desire for the same sex, so if they want to be with each other, they can only find it from the Mao tribe.
But no matter Bai Rui is miraculous, this long-formed custom that is related to the survival of the tribe, they don't think Bai Rui can change it.
***
It was not the first time to go to the Mao tribe. On the first night, Bai Rui and Lie Xing found a safe place to spend the night with ease, and continued on their way after dawn.Dense forests, grasslands, valleys, places that look different, walking side by side in the dense forest, Bai Rui can't help but look at Xunxing.
Although Lie Xing is still growing up, he looks much more mature and sexy than Bai Rui, the real white chicken.Lie Xing’s shoulders and arms have beautiful arcs of solid muscles, tight abdominal muscles and blinding mermaid lines, two long legs under the waist wrapping skin, honey-colored skin is also gleaming from the sweat and eyes from exercise Liang, people can't help thinking, if you lick it, can you really taste the taste of honey from his skin...
Of course, Bai Rui is just looking at it now, after all, how can beauty control his eyes.But Bai Rui didn't have the slightest evil intentions against him, after all, Lie Xing was his brother, best friend and buddy.Besides, Hunter has never expressed any interest in the same sex.Therefore, when getting along with him, Bai Rui occasionally couldn't control his evil eyes, he didn't have any evil heart or courage.
"Can you make your hair grow faster?" Lie Xing asked suddenly.
Bai Rui was startled, thinking that he had discovered his evil eye, but luckily the problem had nothing to do with it: "I thought about it too, but obviously there is no way." Bai Rui raised his hand and picked the broken hair on his forehead.In fact, this color is very beautiful, as Dad Hei said, it is almost transparent, so sometimes it looks like a little bit of blue, it should be said to be silver, and this color cannot be dyed in modern dyeing.
When Bai Rui put down his hand, Lie Xing raised his hand instead, to brush the broken hair that Bai Rui was picking up just now.His fingers brushed against Bai Rui's forehead, bringing a tingling feeling.Bai Rui felt a little awkward, but before he could move, Lie Xing had already grabbed Bai Rui's broken hair with his backhand, and exerted all his strength!
"Hiss!" Bai Rui covered his forehead, Lie Xing's fingers were still pinching a few strands of his silver hair.
"Uh... I didn't grasp the strength for a while."
"I won't let you touch my hair again." QWQ Don't you know that my hair grows very hard? !
"I just want to see if I can stretch it longer." Lie Xing obviously knew what it means to pluck "hair" without a teacher, and his expression did look a little surprised and guilty, "Let me rub it for you."
"Don't." Bai Rui hurriedly said, "You pull a few more later, then I really need to find a place to cry..." Bai Rui's expression suddenly changed, and he stopped joking with Xunxing.A fiery red bee flew out from behind his left ear, it was Shabai, "What's wrong, the bee that explored the way is back."
There are soldier bees and a few worker bees flying in the air and communicating with fools with various dazzling dances.After Silly Bai got the information from them, he passed it to Bai Rui through induction.
"There are...seven, eight, nine...twelve people, they are not hunting, there is no prey around here worth dispatching so many people in one breath, and they are not moving looking for anything, they are just waiting us."
"Mao Tribe?"
"The bees can't send more definite news, and the silly white can't express it more carefully." Bai Rui seemed calm, but in fact he became more and more nervous. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and licked his lips. The feeling from before swept over his body again, "Kill them all?" What he said was unexpectedly calm even for himself. He had done it before, and he killed many in one go, using extremely cruel methods. The way, watching them screaming, struggling and begging, but still watching them coldly, made them still surrounded by pain when they swallowed their last breath.
"No, don't kill it yet, and leave one for me."
"Leave one?"
"Just don't let the bee attack him, leave one alive, and I will catch him myself."
"Xunxing, you know that's a very indifferent thing, right?"
"I can't always survive under your protection. I want to see how I am. Fighting a warrior is the best way for me to understand this."
"I'll still keep the bees aside. If after a certain period of time you haven't settled the matter, they'll do it for you."
"Okay, don't worry." Starhunter didn't refuse this time.
"be careful."
Needless to say, Lie Xing turned around and plunged into the grass on one side. Unless he looked carefully, no one would notice that there was a bee flying in front of him.After confirming that Bai Rui couldn't see, Lie Xing paused for a moment. There was a small leather pocket on his waist. He opened it, put in the few silver threads he had been holding on his fingertips, tied the bag, Lie Xing held a bone dagger in his hand, and then continued to keep up with the bee that had been flying seven or eight circles in front of his eyes.
"Okay, then we can sit here and wait." At the same time, Bai Rui patted Xiaoqing and sat down on it.For the past six years, Xiaoqing has shed a layer of skin every year, and then grows up a bit. Now it is more plump than before.Bai Rui sat down, and the deer's leg came over and put his big head on Bai Rui's lap, "It's always like this. Sooner or later, I'm going to get prickly heat."
Except for one Erha who left with Xunxing, the other Erhas scattered and found dry places to lie down.
After communicating with his descendants again, Shabai fell back to Bai Rui's left ear, crawled to the back of Lian's ear, and with the addition of hair, people who were not familiar with him would never know where Shabai was. .After six years of getting along and working together, Bai Rui, Shabai, Xiaoqing, and Erha, who are not Gu worms but are smart, have a tacit understanding.
