Chen Chao asked about the smell of the grilled fish, but he didn't feel his index finger twitch. He glanced at the old man holding the jerky. He couldn't speak the language, and couldn't communicate well.
Mainly, now I... am so fucking hungry!
He thought for a while, and first handed a bunch of grilled fish to the old man. The old man's eyes lit up and he swallowed, but he waved his hand and repeated the action, indicating that he still wanted Super Chen. Tinder, don't want fish.
The old man has tall goat horns on his head and can decide the ownership of the food. He should be a witch or an elder in the tribe.
Seeing that he couldn't understand the language, Chao Chen had no choice but to solve his stomach problem first. He solved a piece of fish in two bites, but the taste...
TM's has no salt!
It is really tasteless, but fortunately it is full of umami and the water in the river is also very clean, so after removing the internal organs and gills, there is no such unpleasant earthy smell.
Just as he was about to eat the second fish, his host, Huang Yan, eagerly leaned over to the fire. Pointing to the fish on the wooden frame, he opened his mouth and said "ah".
Chen Chao first uttered the syllable "eat, fish", and then handed over a scorched fish, Huang Yan took it and took a bite first, but he grinned from the heat, but still refused to spit out the fish .
After he took a bite of the fish, he turned his head to look at the old man holding the jerky, then turned his head to look at Chen Chao, and then reluctantly handed the grilled fish to the old man, imitating Chen Chao's pronunciation just now, "Fish, Fish, ah."
Just like that, a grilled fish was passed around in the crowd and then disappeared. The rest of the people looked at the grilled fish on the fire eagerly, and the two children who didn't eat it all drooled.
They took the hand of the old man beside them, and wanted to take the old man to the river. Although the old man who didn't eat it felt a pity, but they had experienced more things, and they naturally understood this kind of food better than these greedy children. The importance of stuff to the tribe.
This is the river in front of my tribe!
And this thing looks like a lot, maybe in the future the tribe will not only be able to catch prey in the forest, but old people like myself can find a way to spear some fish in the river, as long as there is enough food in winter, as long as I am also a labor force that can obtain food , I won’t be given up in winter!
Super Chen handed another freshly grilled fish to Huang Yan who was looking at him eagerly, but Huang Yan took it and put it in front of his nose to smell the fragrance. After smelling it, he still handed it to the old man behind him, and then he Squatting down, he also imitated Chen Chao's example, grilling the skewered fish on the rack, and flipping it from time to time.
The old man with the ram's horn wanted to stop him, but he sighed at the thought, this little boy is very spooky, and we are all here, so we follow the little boy.
Seeing that Huang Yan started grilling fish for himself, Super Chen finally had his hands free. He first showed a sincere smile, then put his hands together and put them on the sides of his face, making a gesture of going to sleep and rest, and then posed again. Wave your hands and tell the old man that he has no place to rest, so can he live in your tribe.
Sure enough, maybe the language barrier, but the smiles among human beings are magical. Coupled with the previous grilled fish, the elders in the tribe gradually let go of their guard against him, but they still didn't agree. They just said that they couldn't decide. Wait for the leader to come back.
They were both happy and fearful of Super Chen's arrival, but they were more joyful, mainly because Super Chen could catch fish and torches, these were things they didn't have, and this was a labor force in the prime of life!
If one more person goes hunting, it means one more food for the winter.
In their cognition, there are many savages who were driven out by the tribe to live alone, and the tribe has absorbed two or three, so they have no doubt about Chen Chao's identity.
The fear mainly comes from unfamiliarity, and it basically appears in the elderly, and now the men in the entire tribe have gone out to hunt, leaving only us old men and a few children, such a strong man, If they want to rob the tribe of dried meat, these old, weak, sick and disabled people think they can't resist it.
Like innocent children, they had already surrounded Chao Chen under the leadership of Huang Yan.
Before the sun set, there was a sound of sparse footsteps in the woods, as well as the laughter of men and women. The women who wrapped the fruit in animal skins came out first, and then the men who carried the prey came out. them.
At this time, of course, there were already animal skin clothes, but primitive people still felt that the storage and carrying functions of animal skins were more important than concealing shame.
Moreover, the autumn temperature here is not that low. Without the need to keep out the cold, the animal skins in the tribe are naturally used to store the collected fruits.
But only the leader of the tribe is an exception, and his waist is wrapped with a piece of animal skin.
The men who came back from hunting felt very relaxed when they saw the children gathered together, but they were startled when they saw a stranger suddenly. With a grilled fish, he stepped forward and explained to the leader wrapped in animal skin.
The leader took the grilled fish from Old Man Yangjiao and tasted it. Although it was a bit cold, it was indeed edible and delicious, much like the cooked meat he had tasted in the Fire Tribe before.
I had asked the Fire Tribe back then, and was even willing to give the meat of two wild beasts, and wanted to learn from them how to obtain the holy fire, but the Fire Tribe was very careful every time they fetched fire, and they didn't allow others to watch, and they didn't allow it. If others take the sacred fire away, they will be enemies of their entire tribe and will be punished by Vulcan.
The two sides communicated in local dialect for a while, even talking and making gestures, the old man excitedly brought them to the river, first pointed to the river, indicating that the fish was caught from the river, and then showed the leader the small fire. heap.
The leader's eyes also brightened. He first looked carefully at the fire, and wanted to squat down to touch it, but his hand was burned as soon as he touched the flame, but the more he did this, the more excited he became.
He has seen fire, and he has also eaten cooked meat, so he naturally knows that cooked meat is better than the dried meat or raw meat that his tribe usually eats, but it is too difficult to obtain and preserve fire. Cooked meat can only be eaten when there is a mountain fire. It's not that he hasn't tried to bring the fire back, but, alas...
Thinking of this, he looked at the burly man sitting by the fire, with hope and longing in his eyes, the tribe needed the holy fire so much!
