The Caveman Made Me Awesome

"This is a brass craft from Xicheng."

Ye Xidao, who was sitting on the big leaf flame next door.

In view of the huge role played by the bronze jug in promoting the joining of various tribes in Xicheng last year, he specially prepared some small and exquisite brass crafts before departure this time. In this way, if he meets other tribes on the way to find A Zhi, he can use these small handicrafts to show the soft power of Xicheng, induce their yearning for Xicheng, and attract them to join Xicheng.

Civilization is also a kind of power, and it is a different and more erosive power than combat power.

Now what he threw to Qiu Zai was a little brass manggu.

Manggu's mold was made by the carved tribesman, and the cast product is lifelike and lifelike, even the spots are very real.

The frogmen live around the frozen lake all year round, and their range of activities does not exceed a few thousand kilometers. They have never been to the Jiugong tribe, let alone seen such exquisite and golden human handicrafts.

The bronze jug Qiu Zai was willing to give it away, but this little brass manggu was absolutely reluctant.

Qiu Zai firmly grasped the brass manggu in his hand, like a food-protecting squirrel holding a pine cone, and repeatedly confirmed: "Give it to me? Is it for me?"

Ye Xi snorted lightly and did not speak.

Before he could whet Qiuzai's appetite, Qiuzai suddenly "slipped his hand" accidentally, and with a plop, the little brass manggu was sunk into the lake and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Oh, why did it fall!"

Qiu Zai lay on the big leaf flame, looked at the lake with his head, and shouted in shock and sadness.

Ye Xi: "..."

The action will not be too exaggerated.

He said dumbfoundedly: "It was originally given to you, so throw it away, and also, this thing is afraid of water, it will rust if you do it like this."

"Is it really for me?"

Qiu Zai suddenly beamed with joy as if changing his face.

Immediately, he hurriedly directed the giant frog next to him to bring back the brass manggu, dried it carefully, fumbled left and right for a while, and then hid it in his pocket. Question: "You said it will rust, what is rust?"

Ye Xi: "It's just that there will be a layer of dirt on the surface, which is more difficult to remove."

"That's it..."

Qiu Zai hurriedly took out the brass manggu from his pocket, and wiped the water carefully.

After Qiu Zai's heat was gone, Ye Xi pointed to the big leaves under his body and asked, "What kind of plant are you?"

After accepting Ye Xi's brass little manggu, Qiu Zai now finds him much more pleasing to the eye, no longer chokes him, and answers every question: "This one, we call it Big Leaf Flame, those red flowers floating in the water next to it , we call it Flaming Bud, it is there all year round, but it just doesn’t bloom, it’s always like this.”

"When it's hot, we all like to sleep on the Big Leaf Flame. It's very comfortable. Unfortunately, it's too cold now. Sleeping on it is a crime."

Ye Xi: "Now you are living in a cave?"

There are no mountains in the frogmen's territory, so there can't be caves, and he didn't see any stone houses here.

Qiu Zai: "Yes."

He lay on the flame of the big leaf, stretched his arms under the leaves, and with a splashing sound, he suddenly picked up a black snail the size of an egg!

"this is for you!"

Qiu Zai threw the black snail to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi took the black snail. The black snail had just been fished out of the water, and its soft head and body were all retracted into the shell under fright.

Qiu Zai: "There is always a snail lying on the stem of the big leaf flame. You are lucky. This snail is big enough. Eat it quickly. It won't be fresh if it dies!"

Ye Xi was surprised: "Just eat it raw like this?"

Qiu Zai: "Otherwise?"

Ye Xi looked around the shore of the lake and found that there was no sign of a fire, so he asked, "Do you usually not light fires?"

Qiu Zai's ears were reddish, and a look of embarrassment gradually appeared on his face, and finally pouted his neck and said: "What's delicious if it's cooked, it's delicious if it's raw, you really don't know food!"

In fact, Frogmen can't make fire at all!

This land yields no flint,

The surrounding tribes all used the method of drilling wood to make fire, or simply guarded the firepit day and night to prevent the fire from going out.

The frogmen can't master the trick of drilling wood to make fire. Although they have built fire pits in the tribe and brought fire to other tribes, the frogmen live in burrows. Whenever it rains, the rain will rush The fire in the fire pond was extinguished when the water flowed into the cave, and after several times, the patience of the frogmen gradually ran out.

In addition, there are many frogs in the frogman tribe. Whether these frogs are small frogs or giant frogs, they all instinctively hate flames, so the frogmen simply don't do this.

Of course Ye Xi didn't know about these things about the frogmen, so he just said: "Snails are prone to parasites if eaten raw."

Qiu Zai had never heard of this kind of argument before, and said in a very ignorant manner: "Parasite?"

Ye Xi: "As far as I know, some bugs like to live in snails. If you eat snails raw, those bugs, including their eggs, may enter your body."

He looked at Qiu Zai's belly.

Qiu Zai felt a chill in his belly.

Ye Xi continued slowly: "...Then these worms will lay eggs and hatch in your body, one after another, more and more, the grown parasites can penetrate the intestinal wall and enter your abdominal cavity and liver, It comes to the lungs to lay eggs, and then parasitizes your other organs, such as the subcutaneous, liver, spinal cord, and even invades the brain. If the symptoms are mild, abscesses and cysts will occur. In severe cases, it will make your limbs twitch and have a splitting headache. "

Qiu Zai's eyes were dull when he heard it, and he shivered violently.

After recovering, he looked at Ye Xi as if he saw a devil.

Qiu Zai smoothed the cold hairs on his arms: "Is it okay to eat cooked ones?"

Ye Xi: "Of course, the high temperature can kill the parasite eggs that may exist, otherwise why do you think the tribal people always eat cooked food?"

Qiuzai said with difficulty: "I thought they were pretentious..."

Ye Xi looked at the sky speechlessly.

He put the big black snail in his hand to the side, jumped into the icy unfrozen lake, and caught several big wet snails in the blink of an eye.

Then he wrapped up all these big snails with his clothes, and jumped to the shore stepping on the big leaves of flames.

Qiu Zai followed him to the shore, followed behind him and asked, "Do you want to light a fire?"

Ye Xi nodded.

He looked around and saw that there were plantain plants all over, and there was no usable wood, so he didn't bother to look outside, so he put on special gloves and ignited the flint fireball.

"Wow!"

Qiu Zai stared at the flaming flint fireball in disbelief.

The frogmen around were all attracted by the flint fireball. The jumping ability of the frogmen was not limited, and they gathered from all directions in an instant, forming a crowded circle, with their heads still leaning on the fireball.

Ye Xi was squeezed by the crowd, and the tip of his nose was full of the special watery smell of the frogman, he couldn't help but feel suffocated: "Everyone, give way."
