Chapter 4 Light Curtain
After sending the bugs, the old woman returned to the bonfire.
"Mom, tell us a story!" Wang Zhuang said.
Primitive people did not have mobile phones, computers, TVs, and could not play in the bar. There were few ways to entertain at night, so what they liked the most was to listen to stories.
As the oldest, most experienced and most knowledgeable grandma in the tribe, she is naturally the best storyteller.
The old woman didn't refuse and started talking.
"Then I will tell you a story about ferocious beasts. I didn't have long since I came to the tribe. There were still many people in our tribe. Your dad's dad is still there, and we live by the lake.
There are many trees by the lake. We hunt during the day and live on the trees at night.
Your dad is very good. He can catch a lot of prey every day, sometimes deer, sometimes wolf and dragon. Nearby tribes dare not compete with us for hunting grounds.
Later, when I was hunting, I accidentally encountered a ferocious beast. As a result, your father’s father did not escape back. Only one of your fathers escaped back, and then our tribe became weaker..."
The story is very long. Although everyone has listened to it dozens of times, no one has interrupted it. Some of the little kids ran to the old woman to listen to the story, and four still surrounded Wang Wei, staring at the bugs in his hand.
Wang Wei thought for a while and said to them: "I will test you. Whoever can remember his name? I will give this big white worm to whom I can eat?"
"My name is Wang Hu!" the treacherous little brat said loudly.
"Very good, I've answered correctly!" Wang Wei handed him a bug.
"My name is Wang Benxiong!" Another little brat said quickly when he saw this.
"My name is Wang Niu!" said a little girl with a dark face.
"I, I am Wang Xiaoxiao." Wang Xiaoxiao said timidly.
Wang Wei remembered their names and gave them the big white worms separately.
After giving it to me, there was still a bug in my hand.
At this time, the man who was ordered by the old woman to stare at Wang Wei and did not allow him to eat fish turned his head over and said foolishly: "Hehe, my name is Wang Sha!"
Wang Wei glanced at him, and his eyes turned, "I only give the insects to children. You are not a child, so you can't eat them!"
"Oh!" Wang Sha said in disappointment, then bit his finger and drooled.
Seeing this, Wang Wei continued: "If you want to eat, you have to do me a favor."
Wang Sha's eyes shined.
"Help me scrape off the scales of the fish, then use the stone flakes to cut its belly, and take out all the dirt inside!" Wang Wei said.
"My mother doesn't let you eat fish. There are insects in the fish. You will die if you eat them." Wang Sha waved his hand.
"I didn't eat, I just asked you to help wash it." Wang Wei spread his hands and said.
"Uh, okay, you are not allowed to lie to my big white worm!" Wang Sha hurriedly grabbed the big fish and said.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a big white worm after finishing it. Remember to wash it and stuff a few clean stones into the fish's belly, and the outside is covered with wet mud!"
After Wang Wei gave some instructions in detail, he let Wang Sha go.
There are several places where water drips all year round in the stone wall behind you.
In order to avoid danger, Wang Wei specifically urged Wang Sha not to go to the river to clean.
Seeing Wang Sha obediently walking towards the stone wall not far away, Wang Wei also felt relieved.
After Wang Sha left, Wang Wei watched Wang Hu and the others eat the big white worms voraciously, with a satisfied expression on his face.
"Is this thing delicious?" Wang Wei asked, licking his lips.
"Yeah, it's delicious. This is the best, it's better than venison!" Wang Hu replied.
Wang Wei looked at the last big white worm in front of him again and swallowed.
But he quickly threw out the dangerous idea in his mind.
It doesn’t matter whether it tastes good or not. It’s mainly because you have to keep your word. The worm has already agreed to Wang Sha. Isn’t it just a breach of trust after tasting it yourself?
Although Wang Sha didn't look very smart, he worked very quickly. Soon he ran over with a big fish wrapped in mud.
"You can add firewood to the fire later, and then throw the fish into the fire." Wang Wei ordered again.
"Big White Worm." Wang Sha reminded.
"I'll give it to you after finishing all this!" Wang Wei shook the big white worm on the stone flake.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Sha walked to the bonfire and threw the big fish in.
The big fish was very heavy and splashed large pieces of Mars.
Everyone around the bonfire dodged.
Then Wang Sha threw in a few more firewood.
"Wang Sha, have you had a stupid illness again? The wet mud cannot be burned!" a tribe member scolded.
Wang Sha didn't refute, laughed, and ran towards Wang Wei.
Everyone waved their hands to dispel the ashes in front of them, and did not delve into it, and no one tried to lift out the large mud ball in the fire.
However, some tribe members added some dry fire to the fire.
He handed over the big white worm to Wang Sha, and Wang Wei also went to the bonfire, then endured the hunger in his stomach and waited silently.
Soon, the old woman had told several stories, and some tribe members began to yawn.
"Add a little more fire, and then go to bed. Today, Wang Zhuang, you find someone to watch the night with you." The old woman was also a little sleepy, gave an order, and lay down directly by the bonfire.
On the ground beneath her, some fresh leaves were laid.
These leaves are very large and shaped like banana leaves. They are not only soft when placed on the ground, but also can keep warm.
Sleep for two days, and after the leaves dry up, they can be put away as dry firewood.
No one dares to use dry firewood to spread the floor directly by the bonfire. Although it is warmer, a spark splashes on it and it will easily cause a fire to burn people.
Looking at the crowds of people, piles of you put your feet on my face, and I pressed my butt against your chest to keep warm, Wang Wei gritted his teeth, but still didn't get over.
Seeing this, Wang Zhuang asked curiously: "Wang Wei, you have shed a lot of blood today, why don't you go to bed and raise it?"
"Well, I can't go hunting tomorrow, so I'll just come and watch the night. It's not too late to sleep when I recover during the day." Wang Wei said.
Wang Zhuang thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll go to bed first, and you'll call me when the moon rises to the top of the mountain."
Everyone lay down and soon snores rang one after another.
Wang Wei looked at the scene in front of him, listened to the roars of beasts constantly ringing in his ears and thoughts.
While slowly adding firewood to the fire, he was thinking about what to do in the future.
The temperature is very cool at night, but under the cliff is a sheltering place and there is a bonfire, so it won't be frozen.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Wei didn't know what to do in the future.
I was just an ordinary office worker in my previous life and didn’t have much knowledge reserves.
If you don’t know how to burn pottery, you won’t be able to refine gunpowder, and you won’t be able to make nets, smelting iron, or even plant them.
Moreover, he is not Bei Ye, and he can't eat all kinds of strange things, and he can't tell what to eat. He really couldn't imagine how he would survive in such a strange primitive world.
Is it like these tribe members who will live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood in the future?
Looking up at the strange starry sky and the giant moon several times larger than the earth, Wang Wei subconsciously rubbed his wrist.
This is his habitual small action, and he will do this whenever he thinks about a problem.
And just as he rubbed his wrists, he didn't know what was going on, and a light curtain suddenly appeared in front of him.
The light curtain is transparent, like a high-tech projection.
On the light curtain, there is a mobile phone operation interface that Wang Wei is familiar with.
In addition to general software such as calendar, time, and weather, there are many app icons that Wang Wei is familiar with or unfamiliar with.
However, most of the icons are displayed in gray.
Seeing this scene, Wang Wei was stunned, and then subconsciously glanced around.
Except for a few children who were crying because they didn't eat milk, no one noticed this.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to study the situation in front of him, a person next to him suddenly walked by.
Wang Wei was shocked and remembered that the tribe member had just gone to pee and even said hello to him.
The clan member came to Wang Wei's side, patted his shoulder and said, "Wang Wei, if you feel uncomfortable, let me see the fire!"
"No, no!" Wang Wei stuttered.
"Oh, then I'm going to sleep!"
After the tribe members finished speaking, they fell into the crowd and continued to sleep.
Wang Wei swallowed, and the light curtain in front of him was projected very much, one meter high and more than half a meter wide, and was very shiny and conspicuous.
Only when the blind man walks aside can he not see it.
And this tribe member is obviously not blind, otherwise he would not have said he would have to guard the fire.
Since that's the case, there is only one possibility, that is, the light curtain can only be seen by oneself and others cannot see it at all.
