Chapter 4 Family

The sun hung tenaciously on the western hills, refusing to set, and the scarlet sunlight sprinkled all over the land, and also covered the floor of the wooden buildings.

The room, which is four meters high and ten meters long and wide, is made of bluestone slabs, and a pit is dug in the middle of the room, in which a bonfire burns, and three stones prop up a clay pot, in which a large pot of fragrant fresh meat is stewed. In the southeast corner of the room, there are about three beds on the floor, and it is covered with rich animal skins, making it a very warm and comfortable place to rest.

According to the calendar here, Xiahou, who was already more than three years old, curled up on the leather mattress in the corner, crossed his legs, and his head drooped as if he was sleeping. However, in his body, a very weak earth-based Yuan Force was slowly wandering, shuttling through the various meridians according to the cultivation method of the Xuanwu True Solution. A trace of rustic energy passed from under his ass into his body, thick and gentle, nourishing his body and exercising his primordial spirit.

A two-foot-long white pixiu had an old purple vine around its neck, and the other end of the vine was firmly tied to a stone pier on the ground. This Pixiu, who is still in its infancy, has a body like a lion, its hind legs are thick and powerful, its two forearms are extremely long, the white light flashes on its claws, and its body is covered with tiny scales, and there are fine fluff sticking out of the cracks in the nails. A mouth, a mouthful of fine, sharp white teeth, and a slight turn of golden eyelids, a red blood light came out, it was indeed a first-class beast. It also sat cross-legged beside Xiahou, its head dangling directly to Xiahou's thigh, looking like it was about to fall asleep.

Fiercely, the Pixiu didn't sit firmly, and smashed his head on Xia Hou's thigh, Xia Hou's eyes opened violently, and he slapped it away with a hard slap. The little Pixiu whispered a few times to Xia Hou pitifully, cautiously, and came up with a face full of stammering, and a long pink tongue licked Xia Hou's hand, and simply climbed onto his lap.

Xia Hou sighed, patted the little Pixiu's head, untied the end of the mountain vine and tied it to his hand, and pulled the Pixiu named 'Bai' out of the door. The Pixiu was stuffy in the room all day, and suddenly saw the wind, and suddenly jumped up and down. However, the mountain vine was grabbed by Xiahou, but its strength was not as strong as Xiahou's now, so it could only helplessly crawl a few steps around Xiahou's legs, sit on the ground with one butt, and grinned fiercely at the two pack beasts in the corner of the beast circle in the room.

Touching Bai, who was sitting on the ground almost as tall as himself, Xia Hou looked up at the sun on the mountain to the west, and shouted loudly: "Eminem, when will Abba come back." ”

Xiahou's mother in this life, an ordinary woman without her own name, laughed a few times from the woods on the side of the house, and strode out carrying a bundle of at least two hundred catties of firewood. Seeing Xia Hou standing at the door with the Pixiu in tow, she hurriedly hurried a few steps and said with a smile: "Hungry, you eat a few pieces of meat to pad your stomach first, your Abba is back, and I will clean up the fresh fruit for you." ”

Xia Hou nodded, tightened the piece of linen tied around his waist and said, "I'll wait for him at the entrance of the village." After speaking, without waiting for his mother to reply, he pulled Bai out of the yard.

He casually threw the bundle of firewood more than three meters away, put it on the firewood pile in the corner of the yard, patted the blades of grass on the numb coat on his body, and told Xiahou: "Don't go out of the village, just wait at the entrance of the village, do you know? A group of toothed wolves have come to the forest outside in the past few days, don't be taken away." ”

Xiahou snorted and took Bai to himself.

This is a small village, with more than 200 wooden houses inhabited by more than 1,200 members of the Chihu clan, and it is one of the largest clans in the mountains and forests within a radius of 500 miles. Among the members of the Chihu clan, there are 600 men who are strong and capable of fighting, and in this world of mountains and forests, they are a powerful force that can dominate everything, so Xiahou has lived a very happy life since he was born. The abundant food supply, especially a large amount of meat and fresh fruits to provide nutrition, and the flood of fierce beasts and monsters could not pose much threat to the village, so Xiahou could cultivate the Xuanwu True Solution in his previous life with peace of mind.

The benefits of cultivating the Xuanwu True Solution since he was a child were quickly manifested, at least Xia Hou showed ten times more strength than children of the same age, although children of Xia Hou's age were already monster-like creatures on the earth in their previous lives. A child who is more than two feet tall can pick up a stone with a square radius of one foot and ram it and put it in his previous life, which can only end up being sliced and studied in the Academy of Sciences. But here, even if Xiahou accidentally kicked a stone wheel three months ago, those adults only expressed joy, but they didn't feel strange.

In addition to a strong body, Xiahou's Yuan Shen and internal qi have also been well exercised, and the most realistic effect is that after he has adjusted his breath, according to the experience of his previous life, he has judged the world he is in, and the time of the day is still about twenty-four hours, which is about a little longer, but the difference is not big. And it's about 365 days a year, and there's no difference.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and a large number of animals and plants that have been recorded on the earth, all of which make Xiahou deceive himself happily for a while that he is still in a corner of the earth, but because the place is too remote and isolated from the world, there are many strange species left.

But after his first glimpse of the night sky, he was in complete despair. In the sky, he could distinguish the Big Dipper, the North Star, and the major constellations, and the directions were exactly the same as those seen on Earth. But where is the moon? There is no bright moon in the sky! but between the two planets of Mars and Jupiter, there is clearly a bright star, which is not found on earth.

Therefore, the confused Xiahou could only tell himself at first that this was a damn, still primitive society, relying on hunting and limited captivity and cultivation to obtain the necessities of life, and was lucky to have a natural environment that was almost 99% similar to the earth.

And the item that made Xiahou completely confused, and finally gave up his fate to study this world, was the machete used by his own father Chihu Xiu when hunting.

The first move Xia Hou made after he was able to move the big knife was to test the texture of the big knife with every means he could do. In the end, he chose to drink a jar of inferior spirits in one gulp and let himself go, regardless of the damage it could do to his immature brain, which was more than two years old at the time.

Because Xia Hou almost found out that the material used in the big knife turned out to be fine steel, and it seemed to be mixed with a little other metal, this black alloy was not only heavy, but also extremely hard and tough. If he had to describe it with one material, then the material of the fighting knife that he had customized in a secret weapons research institute in China in his previous life was a cut stronger than the steel used in the broadsword, well, it was not too much.

Xia Hou could only anesthetize himself, and no longer cared about what kind of perverted world he was in. He even laughed at himself, maybe one day Sanqing Daozun or some gods and demons suddenly appeared, then don't be surprised. Because of his father, Chihu Xiu, once cooperated with his clan and successfully killed a velociraptor dragon. After some elaborate work by the old wizard who 'baptized' Xiahou, the skeleton of the velociraptor is now hanging at the gate of Xiahou's house as decorations.

All in all, this is an extremely perverted world, and everything cannot be described by common sense.

Holding his head high, ignoring the children of the same age who dragged their noses and carried thick wooden sticks to fight with each other, the white Yitong grinning scare beside Xia Hou made the children with blue noses and swollen faces get out of the way in panic, and Xia Hou swaggered towards the small dirt slope at the entrance of the village.

Just kidding, in his last life, Xiahou was already in his thirties, if it weren't for Xiaohua's work, the children might have several Xiahou, how could they have a common language with these children? Although the 'battle' between these children is really amazing, the wooden stick with the thickness of an adult's fist is often directly smashed on the melon seeds of the little head.

"The old wizard's 'baptism' potion is really effective, I haven't heard of any children in the nearby tribes who died of illness after birth, and each of them is stronger than a buffalo. Xia Hou watched those peers cheering and 'beating' each other, and couldn't help but think maliciously: "Abba, they seem to have gone too far, did they have their heads smashed when they were young?"

Sitting quietly on the dirt slope and waiting, Bai jumped and fluttered around him, baring his teeth and pounced on a few meek pig-like livestock. Xia Hou always pulled the mountain vine violently at the last moment when Bai was about to catch those 'pigs', and pulled Bai back in the air. The fat 'pigs' blinked their little eyes, and they actually lay on the ground, watching Bai stoically pounce on him again and again, and then being pulled back by Xiahou again and again, as if watching a drama.

"It's really a good place, give your children's pets, they are all such 'gentle' creatures!" Xia Hou sincerely admired. When he was more than two years old, and his father Xi gave him Bai who was still only the size of a palm and hadn't opened his eyes yet, Xia Hou didn't know what a terrible creature Pixiu was.

But that night, Xia Hou immediately appreciated the horror of an adult Pixiu. Chasing the smell of his missing child, the two white pixiu who rushed over to kill, acted like the wind, invulnerable, and amazingly powerful, the men of the Chihu clan poured out of the nest, busy for a night, exhausted all kinds of means, and finally the old wizard secretly sprinkled a handful of herbal powder and numbed all the living creatures present in one fell swoop, and then the two Pixiu were cleaned up.

Even so, there were more than 30 clansmen who could carry thousands of pounds in bed and hummed for half a month before they got up. You know, if these clansmen kill a saber-toothed tiger alone, they won't be hurt at all. According to the old wizard, the two white Pixiu were only adults, not old enough, and did not possess some of Pixiu's unique abilities, otherwise the Chihu Clan could only obediently hand over the little Pixiu and then immediately migrate thousands of miles away.

Looking at the white beside him who had been pounced dozens of times, and finally fell from tears of grievance, Xia Hou's heart softened, and he picked it up and comforted him: "Bai, be good, obedient." When Abba returns, there will be flesh for you to eat. Have you forgotten? Last time, you grabbed a dozen catties of meat from the butt of the horned cow raised by the witch, and the witch was so angry that he almost plucked all your hair out of you?"

"You can't touch the things that your own people raise. In the future, as long as it's meat from the village, you won't be allowed to eat it unless I feed you, you know?"

The white eyes blinked a few times, the fire eyes turned wildly, and the tears no longer knew where they went, and they actually let out a treacherous laugh similar to that of a person. Xiahou's scalp was numb for a while, and he immediately choked his neck: "Let me tell you, you are not allowed to touch the livestock raised by those small tribes near the village." They're pathetic enough!"

Bai stretched his waist, looking like you can bear me, laughed a few more times, lay on Xia Hou's lap, and looked at the exit of the mountain in the distance.

After a long while, seeing that the sun was about to set in the western mountains, a series of earth-shattering roars sounded from the mountains there, and hundreds of figures ran over like the wind. Those big men only wrapped a strip of animal skin around their lower bodies, and in their hands they held steel knives, spears, heavy bows, and other weapons, and their shoulders were full of wild beasts with rich furs, which was obviously another great harvest.

Xiahou's father, Xiu, carried a huge arrow-toothed beast on his left shoulder, and a machete on his right shoulder, and a giant pig that was two circles larger than the wild boar that Xiahou had seen before. He easily stepped five meters away in one step, and his speed was definitely more than twice as fast as the so-called World Flyer in Xiahou's previous life, and he ran over with a smile on his face.

The two thousand catties of prey were casually thrown on the ground by Xi, and as soon as he grabbed it with his big hand, he skillfully grabbed Xiahou's neck and picked him up, holding him tightly in his arms. The beard that was as strong as a steel needle was tied all over Xia Hou's face, and Xiu squinted his eyes and asked him with a smile: "What did you do today? Didn't you play with Two, Three, Four, and Five?"

Xia Hou rolled his eyes, looking helpless.

Sure enough, it's a bunch of rough people. The Chihu clan, oh no, is now almost all the tribes, until their children turn twelve years old and hunt a beast with their own hands, they have no name. According to the order in which they were born in that year, it was one, two, three, four, five. Xiahou was lucky to be born just after the New Year, but he was the eldest child of that year, so he was called Ah Yi of the Xi family. Others, such as Ah Er of the bear family, Ah San of the python family, etc., are all like this.

Only when you reach the age of twelve, when you go to the mountains and forests alone to hunt a fierce beast yourself, will you be named after that fierce beast. Xiahou's father, Chihu Xiu, was extremely lucky, he met a five-foot Pixiu who had not yet reached adulthood, and after a hard fight, he killed the big guy who could also be attributed to the level of a fierce beast, and won the reputation of 'Xiu', at the cost of leaving more than a dozen deep scars on his body, which are now clearly visible, as if a knife was slashed.

With a kick on the belly, Xia Hou jumped down, pulling Bai with one hand and one of the hind legs of the giant pig with the other, pulling the giant pig and walking towards the village. Bai had already climbed onto the belly of the giant pig very quickly, and his sharp claws tore open one of the front legs of the giant pig, and he gnawed on the still hot blood food in one bite, squeaking with joy.

He opened his mouth haha, lifted the arrow-toothed beast with one hand, lifted the machete with the other, pointed at Xia Hou with the tip of the knife and boasted: "Look, my family's Ah Yi has much more strength than when I was a child." It's not just me, none of you can match him. When he grows up, he will definitely be a good man. ”

Hundreds of big men who went out hunting opened their mouths and laughed at the same time, nodding their heads innocently. A man in a tribe, who doesn't like a child with strength? A child who can drag a giant pig of several hundred pounds on the ground at the age of three or more, not to mention the mountains and forests within a radius of 500 miles, even in the larger tribes farther away, there are no such heroes.

A big man straightened his waist, changed his prey, a big tiger with black stripes, and shouted with a snap of his mouth: "Xiu, this is not good, a good man can't just be in your house." Save a little more rations for the winter this year, go back and work harder, and let my mother-in-law have two more. Hey, hey!"

The men laughed again and strode towards the village.

Suddenly, a strong man who seemed to have a bit of a brain leaned over to Xiu's side and shouted loudly: "Xiu, maybe your family's Ah Yi, such a good talent, can learn things from Wu in the future." This branch of our Chihu clan is going to produce a powerful warrior. ”

Xi Le laughed: "I don't have to say it, my family's Ah Yi is good." Your current children can't compare to him, if you want to have a child who can compare to my family, you have to put more effort into your mother-in-law and give birth to a few more. ”

The men laughed at the same time. The bars clicked their mouths and said happily: "Wait for two years." When Ah Yi is a little older and more sensible, let him follow Wu for a few months to see if he can learn something. ”

A group of men narrowed their eyes happily: "Yes, if there is a powerful warrior in our clan, when the Chihu tribe holds a conference in the future, we will show our faces." Tsk, maybe the elders can choose to join the army, and there will be good wine to drink. ”

Xia Hou's ears twitched a few times, and he suddenly turned his head, and asked with the same squinted eyes, "Abba, what do you learn from witches?"

Xi blinked his eyes, rubbed the handle of the knife on the top of his head a few times, and said vaguely: "Ah, learn, what to learn? Well, this, I'll ask Wu tomorrow." ”

seemed to feel that Xia Hou asked a question that he couldn't answer, which made Abba's very faceless, so he kicked Xia Hou on the ass and shouted: "Why are you asking so much? How old are you, how can you ask this and that from the moment you can start talking? Of all the cubs, you are the most troublesome." Ask these weird things again, and I'll punch you in the ass. ”

Xiahou was kicked two or three meters away, and fell into a ball of 'pig' dung in embarrassment.

Xia Hou bared his teeth angrily, and was slammed by the mountain vine on his wrist, and he also flew over like a cloud, and Bai Ji, who also fell into the 'pig' dung, jumped up, and scolded. Xia Hou got up angrily and thought: "If this was in the United States in the previous life, the police station and the newspaper would have to come to the door to accuse you of child abuse." Eh, my ass, don't let me have not practiced the first turn of the Xuanwu True Solution, this ass has already reached the defense of the ninth turn. ”

Looking at Bai who was dancing his teeth and claws towards him, Xi smashed Bai's head with the handle of the knife. The steel handle and the scales on the white head door collided, and the sparks flashed. The white eyes turned around a few times, and they fell to the sky. Xiu kicked Bai's ass casually, and shouted loudly: "Get up and go back to dinner with Ah Yi." You guy glared at me again, so he peeled your skin and just made a gown for Ah Yi to wear. ”

Bai screamed, immediately jumped up, and jumped on Xia Hou's shoulder, but he didn't dare to take another look at Xiu.

Xiu shook his head, picked up the giant pig on the ground, and walked towards his wooden house in four directions. While walking, Xiahou vaguely heard Xi complaining there: "A Pixiu skin is topped with a thousand white tiger skins or a hundred saber-toothed tiger skins." Well, when Bai grows up, do you want to really pick it up? Ah Yi is married, but I have to find a good mother-in-law. Good mother-in-law, it takes a lot of fur to get it. ”

A mouthful of thick phlegm spit out heavily, and the thick phlegm smashed on the stones on the side of the road, making a crisp crashing sound. Xiu tilted his head and muttered: "Well, I have to ask the clansmen to inquire about it, see where there are handsome female dolls in a radius of thousands of miles, and pay attention to Ah Yi first." Don't learn from the firefox boy, I found a mother-in-law and used two bear skins and ten pigs in exchange, stupid and stupid, except for giving birth to children, I can't do anything. ”

Xia Hou had a chill on his body, and goosebumps were all over his body, what kind of world is this?

Bai is ears are extremely pointed, and he heard Xi's words clearly, he looked at Xia Hou with tears in his eyes, and his arms were tightly wrapped around Xia Hou's neck, and his whole body was trembling.

Xia Hou hugged Bai tightly and comforted him softly: "Bai, be good, obedient." Don't worry, even if I don't get married, it's wrong, even if I don't look for my mother-in-law. ”

With a chill in his heart, Xiahou stammered: "Even if I don't look for a woman in my life, I will never let them pick a single hair from you." ”

Bai was extremely excited, stretched out his long tongue and licked Xiahou's face again and again, and for a while, blood and saliva flew on Xiahou's face. This Pixiu has an amazing intelligence, and although it can't speak, it is not worse than a human child in other aspects.

Xia Hou sighed in a low voice: "Heaven and earth conscience, I mean the truth." According to the aesthetic point of view of my previous life, if I were to marry a 'capable' woman here, I would rather be a eunuch from the palace. ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the side of the road, and Uncle Firefox's Eminem was showing a 'simple' smile towards Xiahou. Eminem, who is more than 1.9 meters tall and has a body like a bear, grabbed the stone wheel and smashed it against the corn on a stone slab. The ground trembled slightly, and the corn successfully turned into corn powder, but the stone slab also turned into stone powder.

Eminem of the Firefox family laughed, grabbed a clay pot with great excitement, grabbed the corn flour and stone powder into it, and took the clay pot into it to make dinner. Before entering the door, Na Eminem suddenly woke up, turned back to Xia Hou and showed an extremely 'simple' smile again: "Xi, Ah Yi of the Xiu family, come to my house to eat cakes." The mouth was open, and Eminem of the Firefox family still had a few strands of bright red tendons hanging on his sharp teeth.

Xia Hou was so frightened that he ran around with Bai Yitong in his arms, panting and running back to his house. He trembled all over, hugged Bai and swore resolutely: "Bai, don't worry, I love you the most." Even if I don't marry for the rest of my life, I will never let my father pick your skin. ”

Bai was moved, and rubbed his head in Xiahou's arms a few times with great affection, rubbing all the 'pig' dung on Xiahou's chest, and he pounced on the fire pit, and looked at the broth in the clay jar.

Over there, the carpenter was chopping the arrow-toothed beast and the giant pig into pieces of flesh, strung them with branches and hanging them under the eaves. A few more pieces of meat were brought in by Eminem, and they were grilled on a fire in the fire pit. Smoke rises from cooking everywhere in the village, and the smell of barbecued meat, broth, and even corn cakes fills the air. After a while, some of the great men came out of their huts, and took half of the game they had caught today, and put them on branches and sent them to the stone house where the witches lived. As a result, wisps of cooking smoke also came out of Wu's stone house, but the color of the smoke was extremely strange, always with various strange colors.

Lying on the windowsill, looking at the colorful smoke coming out of the chimney of Wu's stone house, Xia Hou muttered a little viciously: "Eat, eat, eat, eat! Scorpions and centipedes are put in the broth and barbecue, and one day they will eat you to death, this old skeleton." ”

A thick piece of firewood was smashed with the sound of the wind, and it accurately hit Xiahou's buttocks. Xi held a two-foot square clay jar and shouted loudly: "Ah Yi, come here, eat! Eat, eat more, eat more meat, eat more meat, eat meat to have strength! Hurry up!"

Picking up the clay pot that could hold more than a dozen catties of meat, he poured it into his mouth, and Xiu's hand stretched out to the two-inch-thick and square corn cake: "Hurry up, eat! Eat, eat more, eat more corn cakes, otherwise you will get sick if you can't get rid of the greasy." ”

A mouthful of clay pots and half a piece of corn cake were placed in front of Xiahou by Eminem. Xi burped and said vaguely, "Eat, eat, eat quickly." I can't finish eating so much today, I'll beat you. ”

Xiahou looked up to the sky and sighed, with a sad face, almost buried his whole body in the clay pot, and swallowed it in a big gulp. "Explosive food, oh my God, in the 21st century, even pets don't suffer from such abuse. Is the survival rate of babies in this world really so high?"

The sky was full of stars twinkling, and there was no moon in the sky.

A cold mist enveloped the village, and the terrible howl of a toothed wolf could be heard in the distant woods.

Xia Hou sat on the roof of the second floor, squinting at the stars in the sky, and a trace of earthy yellow air flow gradually integrated into his body. With a big bone in his mouth and a large pile of saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth, he was lying on Xiahou's lap and sleeping well.

The village was filled with the heavy gasps of men and women. Eventually, with countless long howls, the village finally regained its calm.
