Poison brother in ancient times

Chapter 187 Hei Dad and Fruit Dad Part 3

Liehei was accepted by Lieguo's family, because Lieguo's father also hoped that after he left the tribe, his son would have a brother who could support each other.

The collection team gradually divided into two teams, and all the older and stronger children would follow Liehei and Lieguo away, and they would go a little farther.Digging worms, digging out bird nests, and picking wild fruits are of course necessary. In addition, catching small animals such as mountain rats, rabbits, flying squirrels, and long-tailed bears, occasionally the children's harvest may even be greater than that of the collection team.

The leader tried to get the adults in the collection team to do the same, and even sent two experienced fighters to help and protect them, but the result was very little.Probably because there were too many people in the collection team, which actually scared off the insects and small animals. In the end, the leader had no choice but to give up.

"Here." While sleeping at night, Lie Guo secretly gave Lie Hei a piece of barbecue.

"Ok?"

"Eat when you're hungry." Lie Guo whispered.It's summer now, and the harvest of the tribe is just right, so his father would have been able to get a lot of prey.He and Liehei led the youth group to get more food than others, plus the food secretly hidden by the two teenagers, the daily food was considered abundant—in fact, it was not only the youth group, but also the collection team and a part of the hunters. People in the team will hide their prey privately.Only the confidantes of those leaders will not, and there is no need to hide it.

But Lie Guo found that he would be able to eat the same food, but Lie Hei seemed... Not full at all?

"Not hungry." Lie Hei pushed, although he was indeed still hungry.He was also surprised that he ate a lot now, but his stomach felt like a bottomless pit, no matter how stuffed it was, it couldn't be filled.

"If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away."

"..." Lie Hei took it silently, turned his head and lay down to finish gnawing on the meat.Although it is today's freshly grilled meat, it has already cooled down completely, and with the lack of salt and ingredients, it smells very fishy.But for hungry people, as long as there is something in their mouth, it is already a happy thing.

Liehei and Lieguo are growing up day by day. Liehei looks at the necklace on Lieguo's neck. On a certain day, he smashed two teeth from the mouth of the koala he hit, made a hole, and pierced himself. on the necklace.

Therefore, Liehei and Lieguo were recognized as "adults" in the spring of the same year and could enter the hunting team.

"Huh? Lie Hei, I remember that you have fewer necklaces than mine." Lie Guo looked at Lie Hei, feeling weird.

"Did you remember correctly? I'm not younger than you." Lie Hei patted Lie Hei's chest. The two teenagers were actually thin, but they were considered tall among their peers.

Lie Guo was so patted that he almost couldn't catch his breath, and he took a small step back while clutching his chest: "Take it easy."

"Oh."

In the same year, Dad Lieguo's position in the hunting team has changed from being at the front of the team back then to being at the end of the team.Next year at the latest, he will be assigned to protect the collection team.In two years, he and Liguo's grandmother will leave the tribe together.

But Lieguo's father didn't feel nervous at all, he was calm, even happy, and Lieguo's mother was the same.Because their two children have grown up.It only takes two more years to pass the most dangerous period in the hunting team, get a firm foothold, and then find another woman... Their mission as father and mother will be completely completed, and they can face death in peace.

Tomorrow is the first day of hunting, and Lie Hei and Lie Guo are not at home.In the thatched house, the hunter's father and mother are by the firepit. They are already an old couple and have nothing to talk about. They just sit quietly by the firepit and hold one hand tightly...

"What are you thinking? You haven't spoken for a long time?" Lie Hei came out with Lie Guo, but Lie Hei sat down on the small hill and became dazed, or Lie Hei couldn't help asking questions first.

"My father... if he hunts enough prey, won't he be kicked out of the tribe?" Lie Guo asked a little nervously, his face was burning with guilt because of what he said.

"That's what you're thinking about?" Lie Hei rolled his eyes, causing him to be worried for a long time, thinking that Lie Guo had the woman he wanted. _(: 3ゝ∠)_In other words, why does Lie Guo have the woman he wants, and he is worried?

"Uh...that's what I was thinking." Liing Guo lowered her head, feeling even more guilty.

"Isn't that what it should be? At our age, we don't have any requirements for the prey. Just don't fall behind and don't die. Once we find the prey, give it to Dad!"

Lie Guo was so moved that he was about to cry.Lie Hei put his arms around his neck and hugged him in his arms.

It's a pity that neither of the two children thought about it at this time.Before them, it is not that people who did not love their parents chose to use the same method, intending to keep their parents in the tribe, but why no one has done so now?

***

When it came time to go hunting, they both got a spear and a bone dagger from Father Hunter.Before leaving, Dawu used colorful paints to paint patterns on the faces of everyone in the hunting team, hoping to keep the god of death away from them.

The "adults" who have just joined the hunting team are qualified as long as they can do one thing - keep up with the team.The old hunters in the team occasionally explain some hunting knowledge to them, but whether they can learn it and how much they can learn depends on everyone's understanding.

Animals all have their own preferred habitats. Even if animals, like humans, have the alternation of new and old, ups and downs, there are still certain rules for which species like to wander in which places.Therefore, hunting teams have relatively stable hunting routes according to different seasons.Coupled with the hunters' own experience and analysis based on the various traces left by the animals, the team can avoid danger, find prey and follow the ghost.

But the hunting team followed by Liehei and Lieguo encountered a little trouble. They were heading towards the habitat of the red-spotted sheep in this season.It stands to reason that a large group of red-spotted sheep should have migrated over this season, but when they arrived, not to mention the red-spotted sheep, there was not even a single wool.

"Rest first, and continue to search upwards along the migration route of the red-spotted sheep tomorrow," said the leader of the hunting team.

Red-spotted sheep are the most important source of food for the hunting tribe in early spring, so the first hunting team in the beginning of spring has the largest number of war beasts and the safest, and must bring a lot of food back.

The campsite is also the old place that has remained unchanged over the years. The new little hunters cleared the wet firewood in the firepit, brought dry firewood to light the firepit, and then grilled fruits, wild vegetables and meat on skewers.Another group of people went out to patrol, after all, even in the old place, we must be extremely careful and pay attention to safety.

As soon as the patrolmen returned, they called their captain away.When the captain came back again, his eyebrows frowned even tighter.Lie Guo's father gave Lie Guo and Lie Hei a look when he was not paying attention. After eating, Lie Hei and Lie Hei said they were going to pee and left the camp temporarily.

"Be careful when you sleep at night, there are many big beasts around here." Father Lie Guo only said one sentence, but the two younger ones immediately understood.

——It’s not just that they are waiting for the red-spotted sheep, if the red-spotted sheep arrive on time, then as predators who hunt the weakest, other big beasts don’t mind taking a share of the group, but the red-spotted sheep did not arrive on time.When everyone has no mutton for the pot and is hungry, then start thinking about finding other meat...

Fortunately, many war beasts followed. When resting at night, the little hunters slept in the center, closest to the fire pit.There are warriors on the outside, and war beasts on the outside.After Lie Guo was warned by his father, he didn't sleep well all night.The sounds of the beasts at night were indeed closer than usual. When the night was darkest, it was even obvious that the beasts outside were fighting.Ferocious roars and miserable whimpers made Lie Guo sweat all over his body.

Unlike Lie Guo, Lie Hei slept soundly, even snoring.

For breakfast the next day, there was a giant python. Two soldiers in the team were slightly injured, but no one was killed.They set off as planned, and after a short walk, Liehei discovered that something was wrong with Lieguo.

"what happened?"

"cold……"

His face was pale and pale, and his lips were blue and black.Liehei held Lieguo, and found that his palms were cold, and when the two got closer, Lieguo's body was very hot.Liehei's face became ugly——Shenguo was sick.

If it is in the tribe, you can send the hunting fruit to the big witch, but it is on an important hunting road.The hunting team will not stop for anyone, even the injured must persevere until the team catches enough prey. During this process, those who cannot keep up can only stay where they are and struggle to survive until the team return.But most people, once they can't keep up, they disappear forever.

People who are sick are even worse, because being sick means being spotted by demons, which will bring bad luck to the hunting team.But this time their team was really unlucky, and if they were discovered, they might kill Lie Guo directly.

Lie Hei gritted his teeth, took Lie Guo's hand, and slowly slowed down.The tone is waiting for the other party to find out, it is better for them to retreat voluntarily, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

Lie Guo's head was a little unresponsive due to dizziness and coldness, but when Lie Hei pulled him slower and slower until he fell to the end of the team, he gradually understood.

"You follow..." The words came out of his own mouth, but Lie Guo felt that the voice seemed to come from far away, and when it reached his own ears, it was already very floating.

"Shut up, we can live, we will."

There were no other people around, and Liehei climbed up the tree pushing the fruit.There are big monkeys, boa constrictors, and poisonous insects in the trees, and many beasts that walk on the ground can climb trees, but in comparison, the trees are always safer than the ground.
