Survive in the beast world

Li Shizhen spent the most confused night in his life. When he calmed down and calmed down the beast that was running wild in his heart, he finally sorted out all the clues before sunrise.If Tu is that leopard Bu's mother, that would totally explain why those leopards brought him back before and didn't hurt him.Because in their view, he is entirely possible to become their potential spouse.And the leopard leader Yan's dissatisfaction with him seems to be easy to understand. Which ethnic group welcomes a "female" who is unwilling to participate in the match.So many previous doubts about the relationship between leopards and men have all been explained.

Combined with other phenomena he observed, it seems that there is no such thing as one-on-one spouses in this group, but the group marriage system in the primitive human society. The phenomenon that Bu only knows his mother but not his father is consistent with the characteristics of a matrilineal clan. It is also the same as in the leopard family in nature where the cubs are raised by their mothers and do not know their fathers.But seeing a man with exactly the same external body structure as his own, who would think about it!As a boy who only visits certain websites occasionally, it is too difficult for him to imagine this kind of social structure out of thin air.

After clearing up all the relationships, when Li Shizhen woke up in the morning and saw Luan again, his expression was full of awe, saying that no man on earth could do this.Even in a highly civilized and technologically advanced human society, a pregnant woman is a creature that needs to be carefully protected, not to mention a pregnant woman in this alien world where there are dangers and lack of medical care; it is also full of a sense of loss. I thought that what I met was a human being, but now it seems that the other party may be an alien species that evolved in another way, and the "female" individuals in it are very similar to the men on earth.

Having not really met his own kind, Li Shizhen was a little disappointed but also a little relieved. After all, seeing his own kind living with wild beasts, drinking blood and so on is really exciting. If it is an alien race, it seems to be very acceptable. So squinted?Moreover, they are also advanced intelligent beings, and their appearance is so similar to human beings. Whether it is emotional communication or life, they are very harmonious. Li Shizhen thinks that he has met a group of alien friends.

First, he almost died, drank blood and lived in a dangerous jungle, and then lived in caves with the beast men, and finally found that the men only looked like men but were actually "female" of the beast clan. What a surprise this moment will give him!

However, the emotions that everyone has gotten along with these days can't be faked. Li Shizhen still hopes that the future will be safe. As for the children or something, well, tearful eyes, then "mother and child are safe".Since the morning, he has helped Tu Duo to share some of the 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 Sometimes it's embarrassing and awkward.

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

The leopards who went out brought back a big cow when they came back in the morning. It seemed to take care of their bodies that needed to be supplemented with nutrition, but the leopards looked extremely tired and their bodies were more or less injured. , it seems that the journey to bring such a large prey back to the cave may not be smooth.

Tu sighed slightly, dug out a lot of purple rhizomes from an animal belt, and dabbed them on each injured leopard carefully. After cutting up the prey and roasting it, he distributed it to everyone. Of course, Li Shizhen stood aside wisely. Luan's appetite didn't seem to be very good, so he only ate a little and then put it down. Although he didn't explain the legs, all the members understood that they were reserved for Luan.When going out in the morning, Luan still seemed to want to follow up the mountain to collect, but unexpectedly, Luan was firmly stopped by Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen thought for a while and gestured: "There are birds flying in the woods, and there are voices on the grassland."

When he said this, all the members understood what he meant. It is true that the depths of the jungle and the grassland are not very peaceful recently. They can feel it when they are moving around the edge. Birds are startled from time to time in the depths of the jungle. It can be seen It was a very big movement, and Li Shizhen guessed that it was probably related to the change of the Deinonychus group on the salt cliff; as for the grassland, it was even more dangerous. Li Shizhen even felt several times in the edge of the forest. It was a vibration that was stronger, heavier, more terrifying, and more intimidating than the brachiosaurus' steps. At this time, the leopards who accompanied them would plan the ground very nervously, with their ears pricked up. Listen carefully, you don't need to think about Li Shizhen to know that it should be the vibration of a giant carnivorous dinosaur.It is estimated that this is also the reason why leopards do not allow them to go deep in the jungle and grassland.

He had heard about the situation of this tribe before, and they had been migrating non-stop, and the time they spent in this cave was the longest since Ran could remember.He thought carefully that their migration was nothing more than two reasons, one was to chase food and water sources, and the other was to avoid natural enemies.The reason why they can stay here can also be deduced from this. First, both the grassland and the jungle have abundant food sources, whether it is meat or plants; as for the second point, the Deinonychus in the jungle seems to be in trouble. Can't take a look at this fringe area, and the supposed overlord on the grassland seems to be very busy?Therefore, the relatively comfortable life of this group of leopards is, in a sense, based on poaching.This balance is very fragile. Once one of the jungles and grasslands responds, they are both very dangerous. It may be their best fate to successfully escape and migrate again.

Moreover, it seems that their group has been together for a long time, but there is not a single child in the group!The youngest should be the leopard cloth, whose behavior looks a little frizzy and naive, but it is also an adult.The meaning behind this message is too cruel and terrifying, or it is that their species is not easy to conceive. From the perspective of species reproduction, it is difficult to avoid inbreeding in a matrilineal society. After all, they don’t know their father and this group is too small and their blood is too similar. 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 little life when it is still fragile.

Either way, or both, they and they probably couldn't afford to lose this unseen child.The external environment is so unstable, the risk of going out is too great.Of course, there is a saying that people who are not of my race must have different hearts. Li Shizhen is the one who loses the most benefits if one less person goes out to gather. After all, he is the only one in the tribe who lives entirely on the harvest of gathering.But after being taken care of by them for so long, they are also the first group of intelligent species he encountered in this other world that can communicate, and it also involves a small unborn life. Li Shizhen's morality does not allow him to stand by and watch for food. irresponsible.Blocking Luan is of course out of emotion, but also out of morality. They are not human beings, but Li Shizhen must not lose the humanitarian care he deserves. This is also one of the principles he has laid down for himself in this other world.

Tu and Yan, the leader of the leopards, looked at each other for a while, and then passed Li Shixuan's suggestion to let Luan stay.

As if to make up for Li Shizhen's suggestion, Tu decided to give him some beef at night, but the leopards all turned their heads and turned a blind eye.Li Shizhen didn't refuse, and took it over. It seems that the leopards also tacitly agreed to this benefit?

Li Shizhen didn't start eating right away. Seeing that Tu had finished distributing the food and the campfire was empty, he opened the salt soil that had been kept in the bag.He borrowed those two coconut-shaped containers from Ran, poured some salt soil into them, poured some water from his own bamboo tube, and stirred the dissolved salt with a wooden stick. After standing still for a while, he saw that it was almost clear Pour the water into another container when it is soaked, and the soil stays and rinses away.After standing in this way for several times, although the salt water obtained was a little cloudy, Li Shizhen tasted the saltiness slightly, and it was okay.He made a shelf out of three wooden sticks for this container, and put it on the fire to heat it.

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

Li Shizhen smiled and didn't mean to stop it at all. As for the hygiene problem, he said that after coming to this damn place, the lower limit was dead, not to mention the hygiene. He could solve it next to the pitcher plants in the bamboo house before, now?It would be nice if he could keep rushing out to take a natural bath in rainy days, depending on the surrounding conditions.As for getting into the water, he sneered, there are no fewer carnivores under the water than on land.

Then Li Shizhen saw Ran's face wrinkled like a cat, and he made two peeps, the funny expression made Li Shizhen couldn't help laughing out loud.The leopard next to him tensed up after seeing the burning, and gradually relaxed when he saw him vomit it out.

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

Facing the scrutiny and vigilance in Shangyan's golden eyes, Li Shizhen felt that he was an idiot. He silently picked up the piece of meat, wiped off the dust, ignored anyone in the cave, and broke the meat bit by bit. The chunks are eaten by themselves.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 happened just now awakened him. Yan's caution is understandable, after all, it is a little life they are looking forward to very much, but he Li Shizhen Now that I am in an alien group, why bother to overdraw my little sense of morality?Precious things, such as principles and bottom lines, should also be placed where they are worth cherishing.

The relationship that had just been eased between the two parties seemed to have dropped to a freezing point at this moment.
