Chapter 5
Startled by the brat, Jia Chun almost choked to death.
But after being frightened, Jia Chun still approached obediently and followed the boy to learn how to weave straw baskets and twist straw ropes.
Regardless of whether the boy is eleven or twelve or fourteen or five years old, he already has a pair of hands that do not match his age.By modern standards, of course.His palms and fingertips were covered with calluses, and large and small scars almost covered the entire back of his hand.
The bit of resentment towards the young bear child, looking at his hands and thinking about his left leg, turned into pity.
mercy?Realizing what was going on, Jia Chun laughed at himself in his heart.No matter how he lived in the primitive world until now, he may be weaker than a healthy primitive person, but he is definitely more capable of surviving than this halfway visitor.He has no right to show mercy to others now.
Rather than pity, it is better to admire. Even with the protection of the elders, the young man must have struggled tenaciously to survive until now.
With a correct attitude, Jia Chun became more open-minded in learning.He can't do the weaving of straw mats and baskets for the time being, but he can master the weaving of straw ropes very quickly, but... the hardware is not strong enough.
He is not strong enough, his fingers are flexible, and his finger flexibility and hand-brain coordination are not good.The rope can't be twisted tightly at all, and the hay used as material, just like they can cut eggs when they are fresh, can also wear Jia Chun's hands when they are dried and yellow.
They are all primitive people, why is my skin so thin?
It didn't take long for Jia Chun's hands to be covered with blood. His palms were not only red, but also swollen.
The boy noticed Jia Chun's condition, he stopped weaving, and took a wooden cup from a...a straw basket?Scooped out a glass of water.
Jia Chun's eyes widened, and everyone said that the bamboo basket was empty, but the grass basket had more gaps than the bamboo basket, so how could there be water?Curiosity made him stretch his neck and look that way until the boy pulled his hand over.He scooped up the water to wash Jia Chun's hands, and took some ash from the firepit, wiped it on Jia Chun's hands, and finally the young man pointed at him.
while playing.
Jia Chun twitched the corners of his mouth and obediently moved away.He walked on the front foot, and the boy on the back foot pulled two pieces of hay and threw them towards him. These were probably his toys.
_(:зゝ∠)_ This feeling of being rejected is so sour.
So Jia Chun decided to satisfy his curiosity first, and under the gaze of the boy "?", he approached the grass basket that was scooped out of water just now.The boy handed over the water glass, but Jia Chun didn't explain.Seeing the truth, he was feeling that the savages are also very smart.
It was indeed a grass basket, but there was a big leaf stuffed inside, and the water was trapped in the leaf and would not flow out.
Jia Chun, a soul from modern times, did not think of it. The savages thought of things that they thought were impossible.After pity, Jia Chun felt educated again.

After reading the straw basket, the young man refused to let him work, and Jia Chun, who was not completely relieved, did not dare to practice the Heart Sutra of Five Poisons, so what should he do?
After thinking about it, he stood up and began to walk around the fire pond in the middle of the cave, stretching his arms as he walked.
--exercise.
Although it looks silly, this is the only way to improve yourself at this stage.
When he got closer to the entrance of the cave, Jia Chun would look outside.
There are no big trees near the entrance of his cave, but weeds and shrubs.The chirping of birds and animals outside can be said to be lively, and insects fly into the cave from time to time, but they fly away quickly, probably because of the pungent smell in the cave.
One thing that surprised Jia Chun was that it didn't look like there were any other families around here.Heitan, Bronze and the boy lived alone before he came?There seems to be something wrong...
However, there are benefits to having fewer people. Bronze and Heitan saved him and brought him home. They probably want him to be a family member, right?If a peculiarity is discovered, the possibility of acceptance is greater.If it is a tribe with many people, he is more likely to be stoned to death again.
But in this world, there are fewer people and living alone, but it also means greater danger, right?
Thinking wildly, Jia Chun walked more and more slowly, and finally couldn't walk anymore, so he sat down and basked in the sun near the entrance of the cave.Since there is no milk, calcium supplementation can only rely on the sun.
After resting almost, continue walking.
As the sunlight coming in from the cave entrance became shorter and shorter, Jia Chun's walking time became shorter and shorter each time.It's not that he's lazy, it's that he's hungry.
But the young man is still weaving straw mats and straw baskets, only occasionally drinking water and going outside for convenience, he didn't eat anything, Jia Chun didn't think he was qualified to ask for it.
When I was reading novels, I always thought of a lazy and slippery otaku in modern times. How could he suddenly become a successful person after being diligent and motivated in other worlds?As a member of the otaku, Jia Chun now understands—it was all forced.It's the same reason that if you have a mad dog chasing you, you must run extremely fast. Only when you are oppressed can you be motivated...
Sitting down against the cave, Jia Chun set a goal: firstly, to survive, secondly, to be able to eat three meals a day, and finally, I want to buy toilet paper!
***
The sun hadn't quite set yet, but the wind blowing in from the cave mouth had already begun to cool, and soon after, the black charcoal and bronze came back.
They brought sugar cane, wild vegetables, some fruit, and no game.
Putting down the things, Bronze and the boy embraced, they laughed and patted each other on the back.Just as Jia Chun was thinking about whether he would do the same, he was completely hugged by Heitan!After being thrown twice, Jia Chun was hugged by him, and his face was pressed against the opponent's pectoralis major—hard enough that Jia Chun's face went numb.
Jia Chun imitated the boy's movements and slapped Heitan on the back.Although the situation looks a bit like a person who is about to be suffocated, struggling to die...
His actions made Heitan very happy, and he hugged him even tighter.Jia Chun also slapped harder, no, he was really dying!Jia Chun felt that his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidney were about to be spit out from his throat, and something was poking his forehead, trying to poke his brains out!
In the end, Bronze saved Jia Chun, and when Jia Chun regained his strength, he saw Heitan smiling at him, turned around and went out—as for what poked his forehead, it was the animal tooth necklace hanging around Heitan's neck, Gu Tong Copper and Junior also have one each.
At first, Jia Chun thought that Heitan had been scolded out, but after a while, seeing Heitan came back with an animal thigh, he realized that he had actually gone with stored food.
This animal thigh is meat that has been air-dried and has not deteriorated. It tastes even worse than yesterday's fresh meat.
The meat also didn't have any seasoning, and there was a fishy smell that I didn't know how to describe.The wild vegetables brought back by the two were also eaten raw, which tasted bitter and scratched the mouth.
Jia Chun ate up the small piece of meat he got, and chewed the wild vegetables hard, enduring the pain in his mouth and throat, and swallowed it without waste.After eating, he looked at the meat that the others hadn't finished, and licked his lips uncontrollably.When Bronze saw it, he immediately tore a piece of his own flesh and handed it over.Jia Chun quickly shook his head, climbed to the piece of leather he slept on yesterday, lay down and closed his eyes.
He was hungry, Bronze and Black Charcoal were the main force for hunting and supporting his family, how could he ask for their rations.
——Obviously they had a certain amount of food to eat, and the four of them only ate one-third of that animal leg.Jia Chun needs nutrition and food, but as a mogul who can't do anything at this stage, he can't do it by taking their rations from the benefactor who saved him.
***
After seven days, Jia Chun discovered many things.
They are indeed the only family around here, and they know that they are now living on a rocky mountain.The place where black charcoal and bronze store grain is another cave higher up on the mountain.When they climbed up, they were extremely flexible. When Jia Chun saw it for the first time, he kept shouting "Heroes" in his stomach.
However, although the "heroes" have outstanding skills, life is still very difficult.In the past few days, Heitan and Bronze only brought back their prey twice, one time was a litter of rabbits, and the other time... was still a litter of rabbits.The rest only brought back fruits and wild vegetables, and one day they almost returned empty-handed.
It seems that the day they met Jia Chun was still a rare bumper harvest, but in fact there were not many prey around.
Although he was almost suffocated for the first time, Jia Chun was still like a boy, hugging Heitan and Bronze every time he came back.The first two days were just for show, but on the third day, those two people didn't come back until dark, that was the day they almost returned empty-handed, but on the same day Jia Chun realized why they did it.
It was a welcome and a celebration, welcoming them back, celebrating that they were still alive, and at the same time celebrating themselves, being able to rely on, and continuing to live.
Of course Jia Chun also said yes, and of course he used leaves. _(:зゝ∠)_
The first time I was not experienced, I didn't pay attention to the small fluff on the selected leaves, so that his unspeakable part was itchy for a whole day.
In addition, there were two discoveries that made Jia Chun feel extremely complicated.
One is when Jia Chun woke up one night and found that Heitan and Bronze were performing a live version by the fire pit, a love action movie, Heitan was the righteous attacker, and Bronze was the villain boss who was knocked down to the ground and punished.The scene is primitive, hot, and intense, which makes people's blood boil, and Jia Chun's mouth is drooling while feeling embarrassed.
Before that, Jia Chun was a little psychologically prepared, but because of his other discovery, or speculation, he kept having complicated feelings and didn't dare to think so.
So what's the other thing?
——The young man calls black charcoal and bronze "Pa", one is Moo Pa and the other is No Pa.Jia Chun suspected that this handkerchief was what Dad meant.
So, two dads, one son, primitive society.hehe.
You know what made Jia Chun feel complicated, so that you can't help but get angry when you think about it, and what is the reason for escaping from reality? ╮(╯▽╰)╭But if that is the case, Jia Chun thinks he can still accept it.Simply because he is Guy, the starting point of acceptance is higher than that of straight men.Seeing that the survival points for exchanging languages were almost enough, Jia Chun thought about being able to communicate, explained it clearly to them, and started practicing during the day.
