Chapter 5

"Yega!"

A child stood on a big tree and shouted at the girl.

The girl obviously was not interested in helping the children pick fruits, but scolded her loudly, and a group of wild children could only obediently come down from the tree.

The girl's name is Ye.

The savage boy who Xu Chen traveled through time was originally named Chen. As for whether it was Chen Chen, it was not clear, but at least the pronunciation of the word is like this.

In fact, after a day and a half of familiarity and communication, Xu Chen has discovered that although the language of communication between these savages is simple, it is not completely impossible to connect with Chinese. They use monophone characters, which are very similar to Chinese. One pronunciation represents a separate meaning, and some characters are even very similar to Chinese.

For example, when eating, they say that the word "Aqi" is an auxiliary tone, and Aqi is the main meaning. In southern China, many places in "Eat" are pronounced as "Qi".

In addition, the old lady in the leader was named Mother Ba, and there is also the word Mother in Chinese. Mother represents gender. Xu Chen is not sure what Ba represents, but if you think carefully, the old lady's original name might be "Ba", and the mother may just be respectful to her.

Also, these savages called the fruit on the tree ‘gu’, which is obviously different from Chinese, but it is not because of the ancient pronunciation problem, but the original meaning is the pronunciation of ‘fruit’?

Xu Chen once worked in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangxi for a long time with the geological survey team.

The southern accent is very different from the northern ones, and the Mandarin is even more different.

Minnan and Cantonese are difficult to understand

In addition, even if you can understand the dialects in the Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan areas, the street reading gai, the cliff reading ai, and the shoe reading hai, many of the pronunciations are obviously different from those in the Northern Languages.

In fact, Sichuan people use a lot of auxiliary words for Ga. When they communicate with each other, they must be Sichuan natives.

So think about it more, Xu Chen felt that the language used by these savages might be the most primitive ancient Chinese pronunciation.

However, this speculation still needs to be verified.

However, the experiment does not prove much meaning. At present, the language of these primitive people is very simple. They are just daily communication such as eating, drinking, defecation and urination. They are limited to the cognitive scope of the world, and they only express some things they see around them. The language system is almost at the expression level of kindergartens. Therefore, even if they do not speak Chinese, based on their pronunciation habits, Xu Chen is confident to guide their language to develop in the familiar Chinese language.

Xu Chen kept thinking about these savage tribes in his head, and at the same time he observed everywhere in the woods, hoping to find a plant similar to ramie.

Unfortunately, in this kind of primeval forest, except for large trees and various vines, thorns and weeds, similar plants are rarely seen. Even if you occasionally see a few, the skin is not strong after breaking, and it is obviously impossible to spin and weave.

What made Xu Chen the most depressed was that most of the plants he saw in the woods did not recognize. Apart from the trees, even the weeds were very different from the familiar earth environment, which was much beyond his expectations.

As a geological survey team member, Xu Chen has been working in the field with the survey team after graduation, with the Sichuan-Shaanxi border, Yunnan-Guizhou-Guangxi, and most of the activity trajectories are in the rarely visited mountains.

Although the salary is not high, there are many experiences in the wild.

Holding high-tech satellite phones and various instruments, but the most useful thing is the most primitive survival skills.

In the field, you must learn to distinguish which plants can be eaten, which herbs can treat bruises and injuries and snakes and insects, and which places are suitable for camping. In addition, you must also distinguish the direction based on the sun, moon and stars, and judge the weather based on changes in the wind and clouds. Because high-tech equipment is not omnipotent, you can encounter any situation in some mountains. Many places have strong geomagnetism, and any high-tech equipment is slag. If you encounter heavy rain and fog, it is possible to extinguish it.

Therefore, field survival training is a necessary skill for geological science team members. It can often save lives. The more primitive the method, the more effective it is, and the more dependent on high-tech equipment, the more dangerous it will be when encountering uncertain situations.

It was during the days of field work that Xu Chen not only learned to distinguish various plant herbs from the professors and old team members of the geology team, but also found various herbs for treatment on the spot when he encountered headaches, hot snakes and insects. He even learned to make straw sandals and weaving fishing nets from some local mountaineers in the mountains in Yunnan, Guizhou and Yunnan.

Because in many very ancient villages, the locals still maintain the ancient and traditional living habits, staining the hemp, spinning the yarn, weaving the cloth, dyeing the cloth, putting bamboo strips and making the earthen wine, and wearing straw sandals and straw raincoats when going out.

Rope rubbing is the simplest skill, with no skills at all.

Unfortunately, the skill he learned to identify plant herbs was ineffective in the current prehistoric civilization stage.

But he was not completely discouraged. Although he was not sure whether the world he traveled to was on earth at the moment, based on the performance of the primitive man and the surrounding environment, it was very similar to the earth before. He only needed to constantly understand and become familiar with it. He believed that he could live well.

Because everything he saw in front of him did not exceed his cognitive scope.

Plants, animals and insects are still in normal state, and no species similar to monsters appear. At most, they just don’t recognize them.

Xu Chen limped in this small-scale primeval forest with a wooden stick and slowly searched for it. His hard work paid off. He finally discovered a more familiar plant, Tian Qi.

Tianqi, also known as Panax notoginseng or Blood Ginseng, is a precious Chinese medicine specialized in Yunnan. It is called Jinbuhuan by locals.

Traditional Chinese medicine compares Tian Qi and ginseng. Ginseng replenishes qi and Tian Qi replenishes blood, and has the effects of stopping and strengthening the heart, reducing swelling and removing blood stasis, relieving pain and promoting blood circulation.

However, this Tianqi plant is extremely tall, more than one meter tall, and its trunk is thicker than its thumb. It is very different from the wild Tianqi he had seen in the mountains of Yunnan. It can be called a larger version.

Therefore, although Xu Chen was very surprised, he was skeptical. After looking closer for a long time, he used the wooden stick in his hand to dig open the surrounding soil.

"Chenga..." The girl came up in surprise, with a confused look on her face.

"Dig it out for me!" Xu Chen said while digging the soil.

The girl seemed to understand and squatted down and digged the soil with her hands. The worn-out fur skirt could not cover up the spring scenery, and half of her butt and eggs were exposed.

Xu Chen took a look at him occasionally, and couldn't help but twitch his face a few times.

Although the skin is very dark, it is not good-looking, it is shaggy and thin, in the wilderness, there are always some ideas that are not suitable for children.

However, the girl obviously didn't know that there was a lame male savage beside her looking at her little buttocks and thinking about it. Instead, she helped her hard. With the cooperation of the two, she quickly dipped half a foot deep, and a tuber that was as thick as an arm slowly appeared.

Damn, this is a carrot.

Looking at the exposed strong and huge root, Xu Chen became more and more uncertain.

But thinking that this was still the primitive era, his temples were thundering with a little excited.

Tian Qi used medicine to calculate the grade by the head, and the bigger the individual, the more expensive it is. The giant in front of him can be regarded as an unprecedented giant, and the medicinal value is immeasurable.

Of course, the premise is that it must be Tian Qi.

Xu Chen became more and more frightened as he digs.

After more than ten minutes, the two finally dug out all the soil in the radius of half a meter around. After pulling out the Tian Qi completely, Xu Chen almost went down.

In addition to the bumpy leaf heads, there are a piece of tubers above a foot long and thin, with roots weighing several kilograms.

In order to verify that this giant is Tian Qi, Xu Chen grabbed a whisker, wiped the soil with his hands, then put it in his mouth and chewed it.

A little bitterness quickly turned into a sweet feeling, instantly bringing saliva to the mouth and tongue, and the taste is very familiar.

Damn, it's really Tian Qi.

Xu Chen covered his beating heart and sat on the ground and gasped hard, and the mud covered his butt was completely unaware of it.

Such a large wild ginseng is no less than a century-old ginseng, and it is probably worth hundreds of thousands.

A ray of saliva flowed slowly from the corner of Xu Chen's mouth with a silly smile.

"Chenga!"

Looking at Xu Chen's appearance, the girl was frightened.

"Oh, haha, it's okay, I'm fine!"

Xu Chen woke up suddenly, looked at Tian Qi, the big radish in his hand, and the black and thin savage girl who was as naked as herself. The excitement in his heart instantly receded like a tide.

It's so fucked when is it? I still want to eat hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Therefore, he got up unhappily, patted the soil on the eggs on his bare butt, and then broke open the butt groove without any trace to shake the soil inside. Then he threw Tian Qi to the girl, and limped around the woods with a wooden crutch.

A group of children entered the forest, which was different from entering the children's playground. They ran around everywhere, digging soil, climbing trees, and constantly looking for things to stuff them into their mouths. Half an hour later, when Xu Chen decided to walk back, he found a group of children lying on a huge rotten wood to dig termites to eat.

These termites were all big and had no wings. They crawled around from the rotten wood they pried open. Five children of all sizes rushed into their mouths, and Xu Chen's face kept thrusting.

Termites have high nutritional value and contain several essential amino acids for the human body. In addition, the protein content is higher than that of eggs.

There are many people eating insects in Yunnan and Guizhou, and locals especially like to eat bamboo shoot insects.

Xu Chen has also eaten it. After frying the white and fat bamboo shoots and insects, they are fried with chili peppers, peppers, salt and stir-fry them again. The chicken tastes crispy and delicious.

But eating termites still requires great courage, at least he has never tried it.

Moreover, stuffing soil and sand into your mouth like this not only requires courage, but also a super stomach that can eliminate all kinds of bacteria and viruses.

He didn't dare to eat, but looking at the group of children who were having a lot of food, Xu Chen felt that he was so hungry that he began to rebel.

Two meals a day, there is still little food, and breakfast is just a piece of roasted meat the size of a fist. After half a day of labor consumption, the energy has long been insolvent and declared bankrupt.

And now...

Xu Chen looked up at the direction of the sun. It was only noon now, and there were still four or five hours before dinner.

"Yega, is there anything to eat nearby?"

Fang Yun rubbed his croaking belly and turned his head.

The savage girl seemed to be swallowing her saliva as well.

Facing Xu Xia's inquiring eyes, she thought for a while and pointed at the foot of the mountain.

"valley!"

"Gu?" Xu Xia's eyes lit up

The girl nodded.

"Let's go, take me there!" Xu Xia turned around.
