Chapter 9 As long as it's good words, we will believe what you say

Now Shao Xuan is at best a little hole owner, and there are still some little kids with less peaceful temperament.

Shao Xuan removed the fish he brought with him according to the methods of the two soldiers before. There was a place for garbage thrown in the hole, and Shao Xuan threw it there directly, where all kinds of leftover residues were piled up. Every few days the tribe would send people to clean it up.

Except for the fish that could not be gnawed, the rest were eaten completely, leaving only a broken skeleton and the fangs that were full of mouths.

The children in the cave shared the fish and all went to bed. Shao Xuan left a torch, put out the fire, and then took the torch to look deeper into the cave. He originally planned to change some food and animal skins before winter came, but now he took over the cave and found a way to fish, thinking about whether to bring some people to get more fish tomorrow. There is too much food accumulated in winter, and the tribe provides not much food after all.

People in the tribe are now rushing to store grain before winter, and they can see people making jerky every day to preserve food. If more fish can be obtained, not only will the situation in the hole improve, but the fish can also be used to exchange warm fur for tribe people. Shao Xuan doesn't want to get frozen in winter.

Walking in the cave with a torch, Shao Xuan took a rough look with the not-so-bright fire. When he saw it last time, he had just arrived in this world. He came over and walked around on a whim, but then he didn't look deeper.

As the saying goes, if a new official takes office, I will make the decision on my territory. If the fire is burned, the territory must be re-planned.

In the early days, the tribes were still small and when there were very few people, they all lived here. The cave was arranged and the places where food, firewood, fur, tools, weapons, etc. were dug, as well as toilets. However, after everyone went out to build houses and the cave was used to raise helpless children, it began to become messy and there were many empty places. About twenty children were only concentrated near the entrance of the cave, and there was a lot of space left.

There are also ventilation outlets deep in the cave, but because no one has walked inside for a long time, it is blocked, and even if you come in during the day, it will be dark.

After a brief look, Shao Xuan returned to the entrance of the cave, spread the hay that had been sunk during the day, and put out the fire to sleep. But for some reason, he just couldn't sleep. Things in the cave, the fish in the river, and the illusion I saw when fishing during the day.

As she thought about it, Shao Xuan always felt that there were eyes staring at this side, but she didn't know who it was.

The fire was extinguished and the cave was very dark. The moonlight outside shone in from the vent, with a dark blue color belonging to the night.

The children in the cave were all asleep and could hear snoring one after another. The entrance of the cave had been blocked with thick straw curtains, and there was nothing unusual there.

Next to Shao Xuan, Caesar was sleeping quietly, and it didn't hear any abnormal sound, which proved that there should be no danger.

Could it be that the child in the cave was not sleeping and staring at him?

Shaking his head slightly, Shao Xuan wrapped his animal leather jacket tightly, closed his eyes and planned to go to bed. He would take these little kids out for fishing tomorrow.

However, not long after closing his eyes, Shao Xuan seemed to have a flash of black shadow. The black shadow was so fast that Shao Xuan had no time to see clearly. After the black shadow, another pair of eyes with a faint dark blue light appeared.

What?!

Shao Xuan was shocked and opened his eyes suddenly.

The surroundings are still the same as before, the cave is pitch black, and only the place where the moonlight shines in is a bit hazy and bright.

Shao Xuan was completely unable to sleep now, so he turned over and happened to see the vent that was dug out from the wall of the cave above.

Even at night, the vent will not be blocked and there will be no trouble.

After thinking about it, Shao Xuan got up because the place where he sleeps was already higher, and now he could see outside through the vent as long as he stood up.

There is moonlight outside, but the cave is brighter and you can vaguely see the nearby scenery.

There is a stone pillar nearly five meters high outside the cave. It was standing here in the early years. Its function is similar to a sundial. People who lived in the cave would judge the approximate time based on the shadow of the stone pillar under the sun. Now that the tribe has left, the children living in the cave will still scribble on the stone pillar when they go out. In addition, the wind and sun are exposed, the stone pillar is no longer what it was like in the past. The pillars are bumpy and only have a rough shape standing there.

And now, a bird stands at the top of the stone pillar.

Shao Xuan knew that kind of bird. When he first saw it, he thought it was a bat. Later, he realized that it was a bird that looked very much like a swallow. It flew very fast and only moved at night. Moreover, this bird ate meat.

People from the tribe call them Ye Yan, which is very similar to the nickname of bats that Shao Xuan knew. Unfortunately, it is much more cruel than bats and likes to live in groups. Sometimes it takes a large group of people when they move.

Therefore, few people from the tribe will go out in the dark night. They must light torches when they go out, otherwise they will be easily attacked by Ye Yan.

Most people cannot hear the sound of Ye Yan, but people from the tribe say that powerful warriors can actually hear its sound. According to legend, Ye Yan's voice is very harsh, but most people have never heard it before, and it is just verbally passed on.

Just as Shao Xuan looked over the stone pillar, the night swallow resting on the stone pillar also looked over keenly.

Under the moonlight, Ye Yan's eyes reflected a dark blue light, exactly the same as the image that appeared in her mind when Shao Xuan closed her eyes.

Ye Yan will not come in from the vent of the cave. They like to stand in the distance and watch, then find the target of being alone, and attack them in groups. In the past six months, Shao Xuan has never seen a Ye Yan drill into the cave, but if anyone does not take a torch at night, he will definitely be attacked.

After taking a breath, Shao Xuan stopped looking outside and lay down to continue sleeping.

Knowing what the dark shadows and dark blue eyes that flashed through my mind just now, Shao Xuan couldn't fall asleep immediately.

Shao Xuan felt that he seemed to be able to "see" dangerous creatures nearby, such as the fish during the day, and the bird standing outside now.

The next morning, the weather was clear and the sun shone brightly.

As usual, Shao Xuan got up and baleed the hay he was cushioned and took it out for a while to dry it.

Clapping his palms, Shao Xuan said to the large area lying in the cave: "Are you awake? How many people have woken up and come up and go fishing with me."

No movement.

"The fish you catch can be eaten, it's the kind that was yesterday." Shao Xuan continued.

There was a little noise, but it wasn't big.

Some children still slept till the thunder, and some even woke up, and they had to struggle with what Shao Xuan said. After all, the habits that they developed for a long time could not be changed because of Shao Xuan's words. They were used to sleeping at this time every day, waiting for food to be delivered in the afternoon. Some people even opened their eyes, but they didn't wake up, and yawned and continued to go to bed.

In the end, only four of them followed Shao Xuan out of the 20th, and the two oldest people in the cave were among them. The remaining two, one was Tu, who was very timid and was useless to waste such a domineering name; the other was Ba, who spoke a little stuttering and was relatively honest, except for the time of grabbing food. The two children were both eleven years old, but their physiques were significantly different. Baby was one head taller, and looked similar to the two oldest thirteen-year-old children in the cave, while Tu was very thin, almost the same as Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan asked Caesar to dig some stone insects, and the rope was still used yesterday. He also held the black hemisphere that could float on the water, and then brought four children to the river bank.

The two soldiers who were in charge of guarding today were the two soldiers from yesterday. They didn't go back last night and had to watch for three consecutive nights before the others could be replaced. Seeing Shao Xuan and the other two laughed and said a few words.

This made the other four children in the cave very strange. They usually walked around the tribe but never encountered such a situation. The two older children were a little less concerned about competing with Shao Xuan because of what happened last night. Seeing this situation, their mind became even more indifferent. In their opinion, people who get along well with the warriors in the tribe will always get a lot of benefits, and people will help when they encounter trouble, just like the previous Ku, because they know some people on the mountainside, they usually get envious of everyone.

Shao Xuan prepared the things and told the four of them what they would do later.

"...It's just like that, it's very simple. Take a while to follow me. Just do whatever I say. Whenever I catch fish, we will eat it separately."

As soon as they heard about eating, the eyes of the four people lit up, and their worried expressions dissipated a lot because they saw the river.

The length of the straw rope was limited, so Shao Xuan still did not intend to throw the bait away this time, nor did he ask Caesar to help. The four children behind him replaced Caesar's position yesterday, and Caesar squatted quietly next to him.

The four children were all nervous with straw ropes in their hands. In addition to the nervousness of contacting creatures in the river for the first time, they also had the excitement of fishing for the first time.

"Okay, don't move now, listen to my order later." Shao Xuan said after throwing the bait, staring at the water.

Soon, there was movement in the water. When it was fishing for the third time, Shao Xuan had experience and immediately shouted: "Let it!"

Hearing Shao Xuan's words, the four children clenched the straw rope tightly and pulled it back.

After all, the four children were better than Caesar, and this time the fish was pulled smoothly. The fish that was pulled up was similar to the first time Shao Xuan caught yesterday.

The first time the four children saw a live fish was this kind of lethal. After Shao Xuan asked them to let go, they immediately took up the wooden sticks they brought by their side and smashed them hard at the fish, especially the slaughter. They were timid and turned forward, waving the wooden sticks to beat the fish head, and screaming in horror. Shao Xuan wanted to beat him.

"Okay, okay! Stop!" Shao Xuan stopped them and pulled away the four children who were swinging their batons around the fish.

Shao Xuan told them the danger of this kind of fish at the beginning, and they brought longer tools and were also more careful when fishing. Now, the four children are on guard. Unfortunately, the first time fishing was the first time for them to hunt. They were so excited that all kinds of emotions were mixed together. When they started, they were completely holding back their strength and vented their strength. The four of them worked together. In just a moment, when Shao Xuan pulled them away and looked at the fish... it was a terrible sight.

How to eat it if it is beaten like this?

The first fish was thrown to the side first, and Shao Xuan directed them to catch the second one. This time, he finally kept the whole one, killed the fish and dug out the internal organs, and went to find the two soldiers to borrow fire and roast the fish.

Although the fish that Shao Xuan brought back to the cave last night looked quite large, it had too many bones and the proportion of the food was not large. In addition, there were more than 20 children in the cave, so few were assigned to everyone's mouths. But today it was not.

There are five people who are half a meter long fish, and no matter how many fish bones are, everyone can eat a lot.

The four children were all very excited, lacking words and didn't know how to express them, and they had to eat, so they could only smile, smiling like **.

"It's so delicious." Tu said.

"Well, eating fish to nourish the brain." Shao Xuan said.

"What is brain-nourishing?" asked a child.

Shao Xuan thought for a while and explained simply: "You will grow better."

"If you look... better, you can become... stronger... bigger? Just like...picture...totem...warriors...?" asked stutter.

Hearing the stuttering words, the other three children also looked up at Shao Xuan, with a light flashing in their eyes.

Although the children in the cave are so fierce, they don’t hide their emotions. They can tell from the surface they think.

At this moment, the four children looked at Shao Xuan's expression and seemed to urge Shao Xuan: Say it quickly and say it quickly. As long as it is a good thing, we believe whatever you say.

So, Shao Xuan swallowed the words he was about to say again, paused, and then "um" against his will.

The river water slowly washed the river bank, and the water surface seemed calm, but just now, Shao Xuan "saw" the image of the fish's mouth full of sharp teeth, which was much larger than yesterday, but the image was relatively light, probably because the big fish was far away.

In the Tamsui River, which is beyond your reach, danger and opportunity coexist.

The food rations for winter are here. Shao Xuan thought.
