Survival In the World of Beasts

Chapter 14: Like thin ice

Li Shizhao spent the most confusing night in his life. After he calmed down and calmed the beast that was running wild in his heart, he finally sorted out all his thoughts before sunrise. If the picture is the mother of that leopard cloth, it can fully explain why the leopards brought him back before and did not hurt him. Because in their view, he is entirely possible to become his potential spouse. The dissatisfaction of Leopard leader Yan with him seems to be easy to understand, which ethnic group welcomes a "female" who is unwilling to participate in matching. So many doubts about the relationship between the leopard and the men have all been explained.

Combined with the other phenomena he observed, there seems to be no one-to-one spouse in this ethnic group, but the group marriage system in the primitive society of human beings. The phenomenon of only knowing that the mother does not know the father is consistent with the characteristics of the matrilineal clan. It is also the same as the situation in the natural world where the cubs of the leopards are raised by their mothers without knowing their father. But seeing a man whose external body structure is exactly the same as his own, who would think about it! As a boy who only occasionally visits a certain website, it is too difficult for him to imagine this kind of social structure out of thin air.

After Dan Tong Ge cleared all the relationships, when Li Shizhao woke up in the morning and saw Luan again, his expression was full of awe, saying that no man on earth could do this. Hey. Even in a highly civilized and technologically advanced human society, pregnant women are also creatures that need to be carefully protected, not to mention the pregnant women who are dangerous and lacking in medicine and medicine; they are also full of loss. I thought that what I met was a human being. Now it seems that the other party is an alien species, evolved in another way, and the "female" individuals are very similar to the men on Earth.

Not really encountering his own kind, Li Shizhen was a little lost but also a little relieved. After all, seeing his own kind cohabiting with wild beasts, eating hair and drinking blood, etc. is really too exciting. If it is an alien race, it seems that the acceptance is high. Did you squint so much? Moreover, they are also high-level intelligent beings, and their appearance is so similar to human beings. They are very harmonious in terms of emotional communication and life. Li Shizhao regarded himself as a group of alien friends.

First it was almost lifeless, blood-drinking and dangerous jungle life, and then the life of cave dwelling with the men of the beasts, and finally found out that the men just looked like men and were actually "females" of the beasts. He really didn't know this other world. What a surprise it will give him in a moment!

However, the emotions that everyone gets along these days can't be faked. Li Zhizhen still hopes that Luan can be safe. As for children, well, tears, then "mother and child are safe." Since the morning, he has helped Tuduo share some work as much as possible to avoid Luan’s fatigue, but he has carefully avoided direct contact with Luan. Whether he admits it or not, he still feels that he accidentally saw Luan’s belly. It was a little embarrassing and responsive at the time.

Tu just smiled at his behavior, and then let him go.

The leopards who went out in the morning brought back quite big cows. They seemed to be taking care of Luan’s body that needed nourishment, but the leopards looked extremely tired, and they all had more or less injuries on their bodies. , It seems that to bring such a big prey back to the cave, the road is afraid that it will not be uneven.

Tu slightly sighed and turned out a lot of purple rhizomes in a beast belt and smeared each injured leopard. Luan apologized and thanked each leopard who came to say hello, and then burned together. After cutting the prey and roasting them, they were distributed to everyone. Of course, Li Shizheng stood aside wittily. Luan's appetite didn't seem to be very good, so he only ate a little and put it down. The picture didn't say anything but just left two queens. Although he didn't explain the leg, all the members knew that it was reserved for Luan. When leaving the house in the morning, Luan still seemed to want to follow up the mountain to collect. To the surprise of the picture, Luan was resolutely stopped by Li Zhixun.

Li Shizhao thought for a while and gestured: "There are birds flying in the woods, and there are sounds on the grasslands."

When he said this, all the members also understood what he meant. Recently, the deep jungle and the grassland are not very peaceful. They can feel it when they move on the edge. Birds in the deep jungle are often startled. It can be seen that It is a very big action taking place. Li Shizhen guessed that it might be related to the changes in the Deinonychus group on the salt cliff. As for the grassland, it is even more dangerous. Li Shizhao even felt the grassland from the edge of the jungle several times. The vibration of, it is a vibration that is stronger, heavier, more terrifying and more deterrent than the brachiosaurus's steps. At this time, the leopards accompanying them would plan the ground very nervously, with their ears erected high. Listen carefully, you don't need to think about Li Shizhao to know that it should be the vibration of the giant carnivorous dinosaur. It is estimated that this is also the reason why the leopards do not allow them to go deep in the jungle and deep in the grassland.

He had heard Ran talk about the situation of this tribe before, and they had been migrating non-stop between them. The time in this cave was the longest since the impression. He thought carefully about their migration for nothing more than two reasons, one was chasing food and water sources, and the other was avoiding natural enemies. They can stay here, and the reason can also be inferred from this. First, no matter the grassland or the jungle, there are rich sources of food, whether it is carnivorous or plants; as for the second point, the Deinonychus group in the jungle seems to be troublesome. Can't come to the edge to bring inspection, and the supposed overlord on the grassland seems to be very busy? Therefore, the seemingly relatively easy life of this group of leopards is based on poaching in a sense. This balance is very fragile. Once one of the jungle and grassland reacts, they are both very dangerous. Successfully escaping the migration again will probably be their best destiny.

Moreover, they seem to have not been together for a short time in this ethnic group, but there is not a single child in the ethnic group! The youngest one should be the leopard cloth. It looks a little frizzy and naive, but it is also an adult. The meaning behind this message is too cruel and terrible, or it is that their species is not easy to breed. From the perspective of species reproduction, matrilineal society can hardly avoid the reproduction of close relatives. After all, they don’t know their father and this ethnic group is too small and blood is too close. Indeed, it will cause the fetus to be too weak; or the environment is too cruel and harsh, and they have no way to protect the small life when it is still fragile.

No matter which one, or two reasons, they and they should not be able to pay for the loss of this child who has not seen each other. The external environment is so unstable, the risk of Luan going out is really too great. Although there are non-my races, their minds must be different, and the one who loses the most to collect profits is Li Zhixun. After all, he is the only one in the race to live on the harvest. But they have been cared for for so many years, they are also the first group of intelligent species he has encountered in this different world that can communicate, and it also involves a small life that has not yet been born. Li Shizhen’s moral values ​​still do not allow him to stand by in order to gain food. Irresponsible. Obstructing Luan is certainly out of emotion, but also out of morality. They are not humans, but Li Shizhen can not lose the humanitarian care he deserves. This is also one of the principles he has set for himself in this different world.

Tu and Leopard leader Yan exchanged views for a while, and then passed Li Zhixun's suggestion, allowing Luan to stay.

It seems that in order to compensate for Li Shixun's suggestion, he was given a little beef in the evening, and the leopards turned their heads and turned a blind eye. Li Shizun did not refuse, but took it over. It seems that this benefit is also tacitly approved by the leopards?

Li Shizhao didn't start eating right away. Seeing that the picture had been allocated food and the bonfire was empty, he opened the salt soil that had been in the bag. He borrowed the two coconut-shaped containers from Burning, poured some salty soil into them, poured some water out of his bamboo tube, stirred the salt in them with a wooden stick, and let it stand for a while, and it was almost clear. Pour the water into another container when it gets wet, and the dirt stays and rinses away. After standing still for several times, although the salt water obtained was a bit turbid, Li Shizhao slightly tasted the saltiness, and it was not bad. He made a shelf of the container with three wooden sticks and put it on the fire to heat it.

Ran kept watching Li Zhizheng's movements with shining eyes. Although he didn't understand at all, he knew that Li Zhizhen must have important reasons for doing this. Just like the various techniques Li Zhizheng told him before, he I don't understand the reason, but there will be surprises if I do. So he also stretched out his black fingers and dipped some salt water to taste it.

Li Shizhao smiled and didn't mean to stop him at all. As for the hygiene problem, he said that after coming to this **** place, the lower limit was dead, not to mention the hygiene. Before in the bamboo house, he could solve it next to the pitcher plants. Now? It would be good if he could keep going out in a natural bath on rainy days, but it depends on the surrounding conditions. As for entering the water, he sneered. There were no fewer carnivores in the water than on the land.

Then Li Zhizhao saw the wrinkled face that looked like a flower cat, and he made two noises. The funny expression made Li Zhizhao laugh. The leopard next to him tightened his body after seeing the burning, and then gradually relaxed when he saw him spit out.

Li Shizhao didn't pay attention to the dark clouds behind him. He used a wooden stick dipped in salt water and smeared it on the beef, then skewered it over the fire and roasted it. Seeing that it was almost roasted, he handed it to Luan. Before he even had time for Tongluan to say anything, the meat on his hands was hit by a black shadow on the ground.

With the scrutiny and vigilance in Shangyan's golden eyes, Li Shizhao felt that he was a stupid fork. He silently picked up the meat, patted the dust, ignored anyone in the cave, and broke the meat a little bit. Eat it yourself. Perhaps it was the acquiescence of the leopards today that made Li Shizhen feel that they could at least retain a little trust in each other, but what just happened woke him up, Yan's caution is understandable, after all, it is a little life they are looking forward to, but he Li Shi Now that you are in an alien group, why bother to overdraw your own little sense of morality? Precious things, such as principles and bottom lines, should also be placed in places that are worth cherishing.

The relationship that the two parties had just eased over seemed to have reached a freezing point at this moment.
