The Caveman Made Me Awesome

The old warriors were immersed in the madness of revenge, stabbing it with spears, hacking it with stone knives, peeling off the intact carapace of the ancient giant worm, roasting its flesh with torches, and riding on it He gnawed on the half-cooked worm meat until he couldn't eat any more...

The ancient giant worm died in endless pain.

When it was confirmed that it was dead, the veterans chopped off its head, carved out the insect meat inside, and cleaned it up with stream water.

After doing all this, for some reason, they collapsed on the ground as if they were exhausted, and then looked at each other, showing a weeping and smiling expression that only the other party could understand.

The hatred of more than sixty years, the goal of more than sixty years has suddenly been accomplished.

At the same time that the hatred accumulated in their chests was released, they also felt at a loss.

There were bean-sized beads of sweat on Gujiao's forehead. He grabbed his sweat-drenched gray hair and cried, "I am willing to die now. We have the face to meet our ancestors and relatives!"

Arashiki patted Bonepaw's hand soothingly.

He looked up at the green sky covered by tree crowns, a tear flowed from his cloudy old eyes, and slowly disappeared into his wrinkled hair.

Hatred is like a flame, it burns them and makes them miserable, but it also guides them and provides them with motivation. Otherwise, the hopeless lonely life in the rainforest, and the endless sea-like green would have driven them crazy long ago.

After a while, Bone Claw stood up, took out the stone jar containing the world-weary bug from his bosom, handed it to Ye Xi with both hands, and said in a low voice.

"Wu, our vengeance has been avenged. This god insect has lost its meaning to us. I will leave it to you. It was originally up to you to find it."

Ye Xi didn't refuse, he really needed this world-weary person very much.

"Thank you, I accept it."

After a while, Ye Xi asked them, "What are your plans for the future?"

"What plan?"

The five veterans looked at each other.

Bone Claw was silent for a moment, looked at the ferocious insect head beside him and said: "Put this insect head on the bones of the clansmen first, so that the clansmen know that they have avenged themselves."

Ye Xi: "What about after that?"

Bone Claw looked at the front in a daze, and said uncertainly: "Maybe... sleep well and sleep longer."

Ye Xi shook his head and said, "I'm asking about your future life, do you still want to live here? Perhaps, you will be willing to come to my tribe to spend your old age. Although you are still in good health, after decades of action, you will eventually die. It will be inconvenient, you have no one to take care of you here, and your safety is not guaranteed."

"But in my tribe, I can assure you that you will be well taken care of."

Because of the presence of these veterans, he was able to obtain such precious treasures as the world-weary insects. It was impossible for him to let them stay lonely and desolate in the rainforest, with the bone insects for the rest of their lives.

Hearing what Ye Xi said, the eyes of Gujiao and Dazhi lit up with hope, their lips moved, but Huangshi didn't speak for a while, as silent as a stone statue.

In the end, his eyes were full of desolation, and he sighed and said: "I used to dream of leaving here, to see other tribes, to listen to the laughter of women, children and young people, but now... old man, follow the witch, I think Stay here and guard the cave, this is my home, I'm not leaving."

Bone Claw said in a breathless manner: "If you don't leave, I won't leave either! Forget it,

They're all old, and it doesn't matter where they go, so let's just die of old age here! "

Da Zhi laughed and said, "The five of us have come together for more than sixty years, and I will not leave."

The other two veterans also sighed and said they couldn't leave.

Ye Xi: "Don't answer me in such a hurry, you guys think about it, maybe, I can introduce my tribe to you."

He sat down among the dead leaves.

In a gentle tone, he said slowly: "It's called Xicheng. It is different from other tribes. It is composed of many tribes. It looks like a tribal alliance, but it is more closely related than the tribal alliance. There are tens of thousands of tribes living together. People, together we have built a continuous city wall, neat and livable stone houses, a magnificent Colosseum, large tracts of farmland, a blue star lake, and..."

While talking, Ye Xi used branches to draw in the pile of dead leaves.

He knew that the Colosseum was too difficult for them to understand. They had always lived in caves and had never seen such a building, so he tried to describe them in words and show them in pictures as much as possible.

The five veterans were fascinated by what they heard, and were amazed.

Ye Xi saw that they were interested, so he told about the origin of Xicheng, the tribulations during the great migration, and the several disasters experienced after the city was built. While the veterans were sighing, Ye Xi changed the subject and talked about the thriving trading area in Xicheng, the newly brewed fine wine, the majestic bronze crossbow, and all kinds of magical exotic plants planted in the exotic plant garden. .

"Try it, this is the wine made by Xicheng, it's called Ice Sake."

In order to lure the veterans to go with him, Ye Xi reluctantly took out the bronze jug and handed it to Huangshi.

The other four old men came around with their eyes wide open, looking at the bronze jug with wonder, and reaching out to touch the body of the jug from time to time.

"It's cool! It's so slippery!"

Arakshi rubbed the bronze flagon repeatedly, took a long time to pull out the cork, and took a sip.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."

With strong alcohol in his throat, the defenseless Arashi coughed violently.

Boneclaw couldn't wait to snatch the bronze flagon: "Give me a drink!"

His eyes lit up after he drank it, and he slammed his mouth and said: "What a wonderful taste! It's cold and hot after drinking it. It's like a fire is burning in the stomach, but it's cold in the mouth!"

Da Zhi leaned over and said, "I'll take a sip for the old man too."

There was only half a jug of ice sake left in the end.

Ye Xi was a little distressed when he took the jug back, but he didn't show it. Seeing them closing their eyes and savoring it, he smiled slightly, looked at Huangshi and said, "After going to Xicheng, you can also taste other delicious wines. I promise you that I will give each of you two jugs of wine made from different fruits and springs every ten days, this is a treatment that even the chiefs cannot enjoy."

Huang Shi opened his eyes, shook his head and smiled wryly: "Wu, don't you treat us old bones so well. We are old and weak in strength, so we can't make much contribution to Xicheng."

Ye Xi: "Who says you can't make contributions?"

"Many newborns have been born in Xicheng in the past two years, and there are many children in the young tower who need someone to take care of them. How about you help take care of them?"

He pinpoints their weaknesses precisely.

People like children when they are old, let alone old people like them who haven't seen children in more than 60 years.

Huang Shi's face changed unsteadily, his chest heaved and heaved, obviously struggling violently.

In the end, he seemed to have made up his mind, stood up slowly, and knelt down in front of Ye Xi with a plop, "Thank you, Wu!"

Ye Xi was overjoyed, grabbed his arm to help him up, and said, "You agree?"

Huang Shi was unwilling to stand up, knelt down and bowed his head, and said with difficulty,

"...No, Wu, I still won't go."

"Xicheng is very good, it's really good. I fell in love with this powerful tribe just by listening to you. But this is my home. I've lived here all my life. When I think of leaving it completely, I'm afraid. No amount of wine, no tribe, no amount of children's laughter can make me happy."

Ye Xi remained silent for a long time.
