Chapter 6: Shocking
There are dangers everywhere in the jungle. It is very likely that a thorn, a poisonous blade of grass, an inconspicuous insect, a hole under a rotten leaf, or a sudden wild beast will inadvertently take away a life.
Although Bai Yang was very careful while walking through the jungle, he still encountered many accidents. A large spider suddenly appeared on his shoulder with its fangs and claws bared. A pit he stepped on was empty. A beast suddenly jumped out. He encountered similar incidents dozens of times in just two hours!
It was really thrilling.
"Bear Grylls is nothing. He'll fall to the ground in a matter of minutes if he puts himself here..."
He complained all the way along the way. Every time he encountered danger, Bai Yang would run back to the "other side" immediately. It was okay when he encountered dangerous situations such as animals, as he would just leave after a while. The most depressing thing was when he encountered underground pits. Every time he shuttled between the two sides, he would come back to the place he went back to last time. He suffered a lot when he encountered pits that suddenly appeared under his feet, and he almost couldn't get up several times.
Bai Yang walked for more than four hours following the vague footprints in the jungle, but still did not see the edge of the jungle. It was already dark on the other side of the earth, so he had to stop. It was dark on the other side of the earth, but it was only noon here!
Back to reality, he put his things away, ate and slept. The day passed like this, and he was exhausted...
The next day, after his parents went to work, Bai Yang ate breakfast made by his mother using "original wild boar meat", then put on his wilderness survival gear and set out again on the road to find another world civilization.
The frustrating thing was that when he went there, it was already night. Although the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the darkness of the jungle made the danger level more than ten times higher, so he had to give up.
In addition to confirming once again that there is indeed a difference in the length of time measured in days between the two worlds, he also witnessed the magical night of that world.
There are three moons in the sky, one big and two small. The big one is as big as a wheel, and the two small ones are as big as bowls. The two small ones are rotating around the big one. Although the speed is not fast, it is indeed rotating like that.
Bai Yang spent a whole day in the real world observing the changes of the moon over there many times. In about ten hours, the two small moons over there would circle around the big one.
Tsk, isn't it just a planet with two satellites? It's no big deal, even though the big one is white like ice, and the two small ones are one dark red and one ice blue...
After two days of comparative observation, Bai Yang came to an unreliable conclusion that in the other world, a day is at least forty hours, but he doesn't know the exact number.
When another day came over there, it was just getting dark here in reality. After finishing his meal, he hesitated for a moment, and he couldn't help but close the bedroom door, put on his equipment, and ran over there to continue his exploration.
Bai Yang was immersed in his own joy of exploration. He would occasionally mention his buddies because he couldn't contact them, but nothing came of it. The world would not stop functioning without anyone.
He continued to stumble and explore in the jungle for several hours, but there was still no way out of the jungle. If it were not for the belief of exploring a whole new world, he would have given up.
Have you seen a spider with twelve legs? Poplar has seen it. Have you seen a butterfly with feathers? Poplar has seen it. Have you seen a flower with a ghost face? Poplar has seen it...
He even had photos and videos of these things in his phone, but he deleted them all. Once they were leaked, he would probably have no peace on Earth.
He had seen some strange fruits in the jungle, but he didn't dare to pick them to taste. Who would be responsible if they were poisoned? Based on the principle of safety first, he would never take risks before he found out the truth.
If Bai Yang was a botanist or biologist, a small area of the jungle would be enough for him to study for many years. However, he wanted to find the humans in this world and find out the details first. Those things would not run away, and it would not be too late to study them slowly later. It would be fine to just take a quick look.
"The temperature is 28 degrees Celsius and I don't know what season it is here. It's so humid and hot that it's not a place for people to stay," Bai Yang, who was resting cautiously with his back against a big tree, complained softly.
He is just a country bumpkin. He doesn't even know that the tree behind him that needs at least two people to hug is the so-called small-leaf red sandalwood. The inconspicuous plant at his feet is the legendary wild ginseng...!
It's a pity that he doesn't know it. Can you blame him? How many people really understand many things that are familiar to them? There are many people in the city who don't know where the rice they eat every day comes from. Some people even think that rice grows on trees.
"roar..."
"Bang..."
A roar and a muffled sound came from a few dozen meters to Bai Yang's left, scaring him so much that he trembled all over and ran back to his bedroom in an instant.
"Why am I running? The sound is quite far away. It's not too late to see what it is before running. Why am I going backwards as I live?"
Bai Yang despised himself, holding an electric baton in one hand and a sharp shovel in the other. He returned to the jungle again, leaning against a big tree and listening carefully to the movement in the distance.
In addition to the continuous roars coming from there, there were also some strange noises.
"Something's happening!"
Seeing the leaves shaking in the direction of the sound, Bai Yang perked up, especially the chattering sounds. Although he couldn't understand what they were, Bai Yang was sure that they were human speech.
Before he could get out of the jungle and find the person, the other person appeared by himself. Bai Yang didn't know whether it was just his good luck.
He approached cautiously, and after walking more than ten meters, he pulled aside a branch and looked in the direction where the sound continued to come from with wide eyes.
At first glance, Bai Yang's eyes widened and his mouth subconsciously opened to scream, but he covered his mouth with his hands.
About thirty or forty meters in front of him, there was an open space of several dozen square meters between several big trees. A huge wild boar, two meters tall and as big as a mountain of flesh, was charging around. Its teeth were almost as big as the ivory he had seen on TV. It ran like a tank. A tree that was so big that two people could not hug it was shaken by the boar's knocks, and the old bark was torn apart by its tusks.
This was not what surprised Bai Yang the most. What surprised him the most was that there was a person riding on the wild boar's back, with his legs clamped on the wild boar's back, and his hands forcibly tore a piece of skin from the wild boar's back and held it in his hands!
What kind of terrifying power would that be? Bai Yang couldn't imagine it.
There were two people on the side. One of them was squatting on the trunk of a big tree ten meters above the ground. He had a big bow in his hand, an arrow ready to shoot. His body was motionless like a stone sculpture. Only his arm holding the bow and his eyes kept moving with the wild boar. There was another person on the ground. He was holding a black stick as thick as a poplar arm. His body was slightly lowered like a cheetah, and his eyes were staring at the rampaging wild boar like a wild beast.
They were still human beings. Bai Yang's eyes almost popped out when he saw those three men. Among the three men, the one with the thinnest arm was thicker than his thigh. It seemed that their height was no less than 1.8 meters. Their necks were covered with dark muscles like steel plates. They were simply monsters. If they were taller, they would be as tall as the Hulk!
"I am no different from a chick in front of others, right?"
He muttered in fear, which was completely an instinct developed in urban life. He trembled and took out his mobile phone to start filming...
Three people dared to fight a wild boar that was no different from a tank at close range. Bai Yang's entire worldview collapsed. If one of those three people ran to his side, they would probably kill the so-called Zhongnanhai bodyguards in a close fight!
"They are wearing simple animal skins, and their long-range weapons are just bows and arrows. Could it be that the world here is still in the barbaric era?"
While watching the exciting and thrilling hunting scenes and filming, Bai Yang was able to think about it in his mind.
A minute later, the situation over there changed into a scene that shocked Bai Yang.
The sturdy man riding on the wild boar's back exerted force with both hands, his muscles seemed to explode, and roared in a strange syllable, forcing the wild boar's body that was running forward to deviate and rush towards the sturdy man holding the black stick.
Bai Yang dared to swear that he really saw a knife-like cold look flashing in the eyes of the burly man holding the long stick. Although it was not directed at him, it almost made his heart stop beating.
Facing the wild boar charging towards him, he tensed his muscles and was ready to attack. He swung the long stick in his hand and chopped it horizontally, making a loud buzzing sound in the air.
Bang!
A stick hit the wild boar's forehead, and he took a step forward and dodged to the side.
The wild boar continued forward and bumped into a tree, its body visibly shaking.
At this moment, a sharp scream was heard, followed by a puff, and a black arrow was inserted into the wild boar's eye socket!
Boom!
The wild boar fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the ground shook.
"Are these humanoid creatures really human? Are they really not transformed from monsters?"
Bai Yang was really scared to death. Those guys were too scary. If it was on Earth, it would take a while to kill that wild boar even with a gun when it went crazy. But those three monster-like strong men killed it with just a stick and an arrow!
"!@#￥%...&*（...&"
A strange voice sounded behind Bai Yang, only a few meters away.
"Oh my god…"
Bai Yang was almost scared out of his wits. He turned his head with his neck stiff and saw that the strong man with the bow and arrow was right behind him. The terrifying bow and arrow that killed the wild boar was pointing at him. The cold black arrow seemed to be emitting a cold light...
Chapter 7 Resolving the Crisis
Facing the cold arrow, although Bai Yang knew that leaving and returning home as soon as possible was the best option, he still suppressed the fear in his heart and stayed.
This was his first contact with someone here. If he suddenly disappeared, who knows what would happen next. What if they had been waiting for him to show up? Or did they bring more people to look for him? He couldn't just stop coming here forever.
It is safer to leave by yourself, but the result is unknown. Besides, you can leave at any time. It is not too late to leave when the other party is in a disadvantageous position to you, unless the other party is so fast that he thinks faster than you.
At this time, Bai Yang was dressed very strangely, wearing a camouflage uniform and black finger-protected gloves. He held an electric baton in one hand and an engineering shovel in the other. He wore a helmet on his head, and under the helmet, he wore a hat that only revealed a pair of eyes, like a terrorist.
"Who are you? Why are you sneaking here and spying on us hunting?" the sturdy man pointing a longbow at Bai Yang asked in a cold voice.
However, his words sounded like this to Bai Yang: "#￥%...&*#%*（——）（@￥%..."
I can't understand it at all, the pronunciation is weird and it sounds extremely awkward.
Without a common language, there was no way to communicate. Judging from the size of the opponent, his fighting power was far superior to his own. In order to prove that he had no ill intentions, Bai Yang made a "universal gesture" with extremely slow movements...
"I hope this action doesn't represent an unfriendly behavior here."
With a bitter smile in his heart, Bai Yang slowly raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, staring at the other party without blinking. If the other party showed the slightest abnormality, he would run away immediately and wait on Earth for ten days or so. He didn't believe that these people would still be here.
When 'surrendering', Bai Yang said: "I just got lost in the jungle and I didn't mean any harm."
Although he knew that the other party probably didn't understand, Bai Yang felt that if he didn't say something at this time, the result would probably get worse.
Similarly, Bai Yang's words sounded like this to the other party: %￥()*%&*&*(&(*0-...
Although he couldn't hear what Bai Yang said, he could clearly feel that Bai Yang's surrender gesture did not pose any threat, so his serious look relaxed a little.
Footsteps were heard and two other people came over. Facing three monster-like burly men at the same time, Bai Yang felt a lot of pressure.
Among these three muscular men, the shortest one is no less than 1.8 meters tall, and the tallest one is probably over 2 meters tall. Especially their explosive muscles like steel plates, which give people a great sense of oppression.
Although Bai Yang himself is 1.82 meters tall, because of his body shape, he looks a few sizes smaller and like a weakling when standing in front of them.
"Brother Zhao, what's going on?"
"When we were hunting just now, this guy was observing from the sidelines!"
"Huh? Why is this guy hiding himself and not daring to see anyone?"
"What should we do, Brother Zhao? Should we kill him?"
Bai Yang looked at the three people talking in a daze, not understanding them at all. Little did he know that they were having a not-at-all-intense discussion about whether to kill him or not, just like killing a chicken.
"Don't kill him yet. This kind of outfit is unheard of. And look at the way he is dressed, every detail reveals his sophistication. The material of the clothes he wears is simply not something that ordinary people can afford. What if he is a big shot somewhere? Killing him rashly will bring disaster to our village."
"What should we do?"
Bai Yang, who had no sense of existence at all, could only raise his hands and watch. However, he understood that the strong man with the long stick and the empty-handed man, although big in size, did not look very old. They all followed the lead of the middle-aged strong man holding the big bow.
"These guys look too heroic. If we take them over as bodyguards, they will definitely walk around with their heads held high..."
When Bai Yang was daydreaming, the strong man holding the bow slowly put down the bow in his hand, indicating that it would not harm Bai Yang, and then slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on Bai Yang's head...
"Is he going to break my neck or crush my head?"
Just when Bai Yang was considering whether to leave immediately, he found himself being lifted up...
"It hurts, it hurts... What on earth do you mean by this?"
Bai Yang shouted, but the other party didn't understand at all.
Then his vision went dark, and a pair of large hands reached out and roughly pulled off the bag of the helmet under the chin. He fell to the ground with a thud, and then he realized that the other party wanted to take off his helmet.
"Do you have to be so barbaric? Are you all savages? Don't you know how to show your skills?"
Since the other party couldn't hear him anyway, Bai Yang complained speechlessly and took off the hat that only revealed a pair of eyes.
When the three strong men saw Bai Yang's appearance, they were obviously stunned and looked at each other.
"Brother Zhao, we seem to be in trouble"
"Yes, look at him, he is delicate and tender, and at first glance he is a young master who has lived a life of luxury. Our behavior must have offended him. Will it bring disaster to our village?"
"Zhu Zi is right, why don't we kill him and bury him on the spot and run away?"
"Shut up, both of you. This man is obviously the son of a big shot. If we kill him, his family will definitely find us, and that would be a real disaster. Don't forget that there are many extraordinary people in big families," the older man said impatiently, interrupting the two young men.
"What should we do?"
"This guy can't even speak, is he a fool?"
The two young men looked at Bai Yang and muttered.
"I now realize the importance of knowing a foreign language. After studying for so many years and working so hard to pass the CET-4, it's totally useless. No, I have to do something, otherwise I have no choice but to run away."
Facing the situation, Bai Yang used his brain as fast as he could. How could he express his goodwill in the best and fastest way when there was a language barrier? The other party was a human, not a beast. Although there was a language barrier, there was still room for communication...
His mind turned and his eyes lit up. Bai Yang had an idea.
Human beings cannot survive without food. In fact, this natural law applies to any animal, not just humans. So, when verbal communication is impossible, sharing food with others is undoubtedly the best way to express goodwill.
Then, Bai Yang slowly lowered one hand and put the shovel on the ground. Well, he felt safer with the electric baton in his hand...
Then he reached into his pocket and took out a piece of chocolate that he had prepared to replenish his energy and slowly handed it to the other person.
The three savages looked at each other, totally not understanding what Bai Yang meant.
Seeing that the other party didn't understand what he meant, Bai Yang thought for a moment, broke off a piece of the chocolate, put it in his mouth, chewed it with great enjoyment, and handed the rest to the other party.
"It looks delicious," said the strong young man called Zhuzi, twitching his nose.
"It seems like he wants to give us food?" The other young man looked at the older one and asked.
Frowning, the older man said, "The other party doesn't seem to have any bad intentions, but who knows if there's something in that thing that's trying to plot against us..."
"Wow, it's delicious. This taste is so special, sweet and fragrant..."
Bai Yang looked at his empty hands speechlessly, then looked at the sturdy man who put the palm-sized piece of chocolate into his mouth and showed a look of surprise while chewing. He was speechless at the other party's exaggerated dancing movements.
"Apart from replenishing energy and coaxing girls when necessary, is chocolate really that good?" Bai Yang expressed serious doubts.
"...", the older strong man felt that his words were in vain.
Then Bai Yang saw a simple and honest face approaching him, with a conflicted expression of both trying to please and being embarrassed.
You see others eating so happily and you want to eat it too, can you please not be so obvious? His saliva is flowing. While Bai Yang complained in his heart, he took out another piece from his pocket and handed it to him, saying "Here, this is the only piece left, eat slowly..."
In order to prevent the other party from not knowing that he had no more money, he turned his pockets inside out.
Although they couldn't communicate in the same language, Bai Yang had expressed himself clearly. However, to the impatient big man, Bai Yang had expressed his feelings in the wrong way. Like another young and strong man, he put a large piece of chocolate in his mouth and chewed it, his eyes shining, and he danced with joy, jumping and jumping...
The two strong men who had tasted the delicious chocolate were so excited that they danced with joy, and the ground was shaken by them!
"Is it really that delicious?" Bai Yang doubted again.
The two younger ones were a little more lively, but the older one kept staring at Bai Yang, looking like a violent person who would explode and hurt someone at any time.
The middle-aged strong man called Brother Zhao looked at Bai Yang, then looked at the two young strong men who were jumping and dancing with joy after eating chocolate. He pointed at Bai Yang, then at himself and the other two, and then pointed at the distance...
Bai Yang thought for a while before he realized that the other party wanted him to go with them...
"Huh... There's no danger for now. The next thing is how to gain their trust. And... There's a language barrier. I'm confused..."
Chapter 8 Barbarian Tribe?
Walking among the three monster-like people, Bai Yang's heart was broken. He always had a feeling that the other party would tear him off like a piece of paper at any time, and he was terrified with every step he took.
Because of the language barrier, Bai Yang had no way of figuring out the identities of these three people. He could only distinguish them by their body shapes. The strongest young man was labeled "barbarian number one" in Bai Yang's mind, followed by the older and stronger man, who was "barbarian number two" in Bai Yang's mind, and the last one was "barbarian number three".
After a long time, when Bai Yang learned the local language, he knew that number one was Zhuzi, number two was Zhaoshi, and number three was Huzi...
These three monster-like people explained to Bai Yang what violent beauty is.
As for the helmet that Bai Yang took off from his head, it was made of metal. Bai Yang didn't know whether it was bulletproof or not. But if Bai Yang wanted to destroy the helmet himself, it would probably take a lot of effort to smash it with a hammer. However, when the "Barbarian No. 3" was curiously looking at it, he accidentally crushed it into a lump...
The corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally. Facing the embarrassed look in the other person's eyes, Bai Yang could only make an expression of "It's up to you, I don't really care"...
Secondly, the metal engineer shovel was in the hands of the second barbarian. After all, he was older and was very curious about this multifunctional tool that could chop, dig, and saw things. He swung it to chop an old vine branch, dug a hole in the ground, and then swung it in a circle to chop a big tree. The handle of the engineer shovel broke, and the shovel part flew away to an unknown place...
"It's up to you. Actually, I don't care," Bai Yang said, trying to put on a casual smile, not caring whether the other party could understand him or not.
The eyes of "Barbarian No. 1" kept moving between the electric baton in Bai Yang's hand and the pocket on his body. One was that he wanted to play with Bai Yang's electric baton, and the other was that he wanted to know if there was anything delicious in Bai Yang's pocket. Bai Yang miraculously understood these two meanings in the other person's eyes.
The electric baton could not be given to the other party under any circumstances. Although he had not used it yet, it was the only thing that could bring Bai Yang a slight sense of security when walking with these three humanoid monsters. As for food, he had none on him. Although he could go back and get it at will, it was obviously unrealistic to be stared at by three barbarians, so he could only ignore those eyes.
Barbarian No. 1's weapon was a huge long stick, which was the one that hit the wild boar's head with. Barbarian No. 2 used a long bow. Barbarian No. 3 also had a weapon. He was the one riding on the wild boar before. He didn't know where his weapon was lost. When the other party picked it up, Bai Yang saw that he was using a big sword that was taller than himself...
"Too barbaric, what kind of people are these? I don't know what the bow arm is made of, but it's almost as thick as my arm. How did they pull it open so easily? That stick made a hole in the ground with one hit, it must be 100 to 200 pounds? Is that knife sure it's not a door panel?"
Bai Yang felt sick. He seriously doubted whether he could survive a minute with these guys...
However, what shocked him even more was yet to come. That huge wild boar was about two meters tall, almost five meters tall. It must have weighed at least one ton, right? The number one barbarian exhaled and shouted, grabbed a pig leg and carried it on his shoulders, and used a long stick to pad the wild boar to keep balance. He could actually walk freely in the jungle...
Bai Yang no longer knew how to describe his mentality towards these monster-like people. These were just the only three people he had seen in this world. God knows what other scary guys there are in this world!
"What kind of world is this? Did these three guys escape from the barbarian tribe in the wild era?"
Whoosh..., a sharp sound passed by Bai Yang's ears, followed by a gust of evil wind, and then a muffled bang came from more than ten meters to the left of Bai Yang.
Barbarian No. 2 walked past the poplar trees as if nothing had happened, and then dragged out a python as thick as a thigh from behind the bushes. The python's head was gone, and he casually carried the nearly six-meter-long python on his shoulder as if nothing had happened and moved forward as if nothing had happened.
Bai Yang swallowed his saliva, wondering how the 'Second Savage' found the snake...
Perhaps they had already confirmed that Bai Yang could not understand what they were saying, so the three barbarians did not communicate with Bai Yang, but instead commented on him one after another.
"That black stuff is so delicious, fragrant and sweet. I really want to eat another piece..." Barbarian No. 3 was relishing the taste with an intoxicated look on his face, carrying a big knife as big as a door panel.
"Hu Zi, do you think that the delicious food that fell on the ground when we picked up the bowl yesterday was lost by him? He actually lost such delicious food. I really want to slap him to death." The second barbarian Zhuzi was carrying the wild boar. Although there was sweat on his forehead, he could still speak normally. It was amazing.
"I don't know. Brother Zhao originally said he was going to take the bowl to the town to sell it for a high price, but it accidentally fell into the fire and burned," Hu Zi said, scratching his head.
"You two, stop thinking about food. Tell me what kind of person do you think this is? Is it really okay for us to take him back to the village?" The second barbarian, Zhao Shi, spoke.
He was observing Bai Yang all the way. Apart from thinking that Bai Yang's dress was weird, there was nothing special about him. In his eyes, the pretty boy Bai Yang was no different from a weakling. In their village, it was hard to find a wife like Bai Yang.
"Maybe he is a young master from a town or city. He is a pampered parasite with no ambition and no fighting skills. I don't know how he can survive in the jungle. But the food he has on him is really good," said the third barbarian Hu Zi indifferently.
"The other party may also be practicing Shintoism and not paying attention to physical fitness," said the barbarian No. 1 Zhuzi who was carrying the wild boar.
The second barbarian, Zhao Shi, shook his head and said, "Not like that. Martial arts train the body, while Shinto refines the soul. Although martial arts can hone the body without the need for secret manuals, and Shinto requires mysterious techniques to practice, there will always be some external changes. Although we have never seen anyone practicing Shinto, he doesn't look like someone who has practiced it."
"Who knows? Let's take him back and see what the village chief decides. I just don't know if this guy is a fool. He can't even speak and can only bark nonsense," said barbarian number three, Hu Zi, scratching his head.
While speaking, Hu Zi turned his head and saw Bai Yang panting while walking. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed Bai Yang's shoulders, threw him on his broad shoulders and sat him down, then quickened his pace...
Bai Yang wanted to cry but he had no tears. He originally thought that the man who was fighting the wild boar was slowing down the progress, but it turned out that he was not walking fast enough...
The group walked in the jungle for an hour or two. Bai Yang had no idea how far they had walked. Along the way, the three "barbarians" constantly overturned Bai Yang's perception. They jumped up a cliff four or five meters high with a few running steps, and crossed a gully seven or eight meters wide with ease...
Anyway, Bai Yang felt that nothing could stop them!
Bai Yang was so dizzy that he didn't know when he was put on the ground. When he saw the surroundings clearly, his eyes widened instantly.
They were still in the dense jungle. In front of them, there was actually a village built in the dense jungle. Outside the village was a wall made of thick wood inserted into the ground, which was at least ten meters high!
Bai Yang, standing at the gate, looked forward. There were no houses on the ground. All the houses, big and small, were on trees at least 20 meters above the ground. The crisscrossing branches were the roads between the houses. A clear river more than 30 meters wide flowed through the middle of the village. A huge waterwheel was set up in the river, bringing the river water to a huge water tank at least 50 meters above the ground. On the water tank, bamboo pipes were set up in the air and connected to each tree house. There was a bamboo pipe going down from the tree house, connected to a thicker bamboo pipe. Finally, the big bamboo pipe filled with small bamboo pipes went diagonally into the lower reaches of the river after crossing the entire village. It should be used to discharge domestic sewage...
On the ground, hundreds of young boys were exercising with laughter. In the trees, some monkey-like children were jumping around on the branches. Bai Yang was terrified. How could someone survive after falling down?
"What the hell is this place?" At this moment, only this thought kept flashing in Bai Yang's mind.
The three barbarians who brought Bai Yang here shouted something at the top of their lungs, and suddenly a large group of people appeared from all directions and quickly surrounded him, pointing and whispering at Bai Yang.
However, it was only then that Bai Yang discovered that the body shapes of the three barbarians who brought him here were actually within the acceptable range, because he saw no less than twenty guys in the crowd who were stronger than the three guys around him.
"Oh my god, what kind of crazy world is this?"
Bai Yang's brain was simply not enough. He seriously suspected that he had come to a barbarian tribe in the wild era. Would these beast-like guys stew him in a big pot and eat him next?
Chapter 9: Treating People to Dinner
The situation of being cooked and eaten did not happen. The group of onlookers, the "barbarians", parted and an old man walked out. His snow-white beard almost reached his waist, and the wrinkles on his face could kill mosquitoes. He walked towards Baiyang with a wooden stick.
This old man seems to have a very high status here. As soon as he appears, there is basically no sound around him.
Although this old man is extremely old, his eyes are bright, his frame is big, and he walks with great vigor. Bai Yang thinks that he should have no problem living another 10 or 20 years.
The old man said something to Bai Yang in a gibberish tone, but he couldn't understand it at all and looked confused. There was no translator, so it was a bit embarrassing.
Then the old man said something to the three people who brought Bai Yang here. The three guys responded from time to time, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking their heads...
Bai Yang could only stare blankly, secretly looking at the people around him from the corner of his eyes. He sadly discovered that if he wanted to fight, he might not even be able to beat the children here. The one-meter-tall kids were all muscular...
The people here, both men and women, are all very strong. Someone like me would look like a weakling standing among the crowd.
However, Bai Yang discovered one thing, that is, the people here dress very casually. Well, casual is just a relatively nice description that Bai Yang came up with. To put it bluntly, it's so embarrassing...
Children under one meter tall were basically naked, regardless of gender. As for adults, the boys were basically shirtless, with either a piece of animal skin wrapped around their waists or rough shorts made of unknown fabric. The girls were similar, but at least their upper bodies were covered, with a rough strip of cloth or a piece of animal skin wrapped around them...
"No wonder the kids here grow up like calves, the girls have big breasts too, the ample breast milk has laid a good foundation for them since childhood!"
Bai Yang blushed as his eyes darted around, especially after a group of girls pointed at him and deliberately puffed out their chests, which led to a burst of laughter.
Then a big hand fell on Bai Yang. It turned out to be the second barbarian. Although there was no verbal communication, the other party winked at Bai Yang and made an expression that every man could understand...
"%&...￥%...￥*（&"
The old man with a long beard said something to Bai Yang. Although Bai Yang couldn't understand what he said, he understood his actions and wanted him to follow him.
With the idea of making the best of it and running away if the situation goes wrong, he followed the old man.
The people around were pointing and whispering at Bai Yang as if they were watching a foreign spectacle. The old man slammed the wooden stick in his hand to the ground and said something in a loud voice. Immediately, the people around him dispersed.
"It's such a terrible feeling to be watched by people, especially by a bunch of barbarians who are ready to eat me at any time," Bai Yang muttered to himself as he wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead imperceptibly.
This village built in the jungle is surrounded by a wall made of thick tree stumps, with a diameter of probably no less than 500 meters. There are hundreds of large trees growing there, most of which are so big that it takes several or even more than a dozen people to hug them.
Bai Yang had to admire the survival wisdom of these people. Building houses on trees could not only prevent attacks from wild beasts, but also prevent disasters from floods. A river ran through the village, and Bai Yang didn't believe that there would be no floods.
Following the old man to the largest tree in the village, they climbed up a long ladder, and the three people who brought Baiyang back also followed.
When he got to the top of the tree, Bai Yang was surprised to find that although the house was built at least thirty meters above the ground, its area was not small. It was not the small tree house as he had imagined, but a real house, probably no less than a hundred square meters, and with three floors. This was what Bai Yang saw from the balcony outside the building. The roof was covered with a kind of grass that Bai Yang did not recognize.
Entering the house, the first thing that caught Bai Yang's eye was a place similar to the hall of a mountain village. In the front was a chair covered with tiger skin, and then on the left and right sides were two rows of about 10 to 20 chairs facing each other.
Just when Bai Yang was wondering if this was really some kind of mountain village, several nimble women came here, quickly cleared out the chairs on both sides, and placed a simple desk in their place. Behind the desk was a cushion made of some unknown material, similar to a futon.
At the signal from the white-bearded old man, he sat on the cushion. Then the women reappeared and swiftly placed some fruits that Bai Yang didn't recognize on the table, followed by barbecue on a wooden plate, and a rough black jar the size of a pregnant woman's belly on the table...
Looking blankly at the large table of food, are you treating me to a meal?
Bai Yang had heard that ethnic minorities in some parts of China were very hospitable. Could it be that they were the same in this world?
The fact was that Bai Yang's guess was almost right. This village in the jungle rarely had outsiders coming, and the villagers would hardly go out unless they had to go out to exchange for necessary daily necessities. Although Bai Yang seemed a little strange to them, he was the only guest who had come here for a long time.
Glancing into the hall, Bai Yang discovered that in addition to himself and the three people who brought him here, there were a dozen other people who had arrived at some unknown time. Each of them was burly and full of wildness. Like himself, they had a meter-long wooden table in front of them, which was filled with fruits, barbecues, and a large black jar.
The white-bearded old man who looked like the leader of the mountain stronghold in the front smiled at Bai Yang, mumbling something inaudible, then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Then Bai Yang saw that the people in the hall had already started eating. They grabbed a large piece of barbecue and stuffed it into their mouths, and took a bite of fruit to relieve the greasiness. Then they opened the jar and found that it was wine. They grabbed the jar and drank it. For a moment, the whole room was filled with the aroma of wine and meat...
Bai Yang stared blankly at the barbarians who were eating and drinking. He shouted in his heart, "You are too generous!" At the same time, he was also dumbfounded. Since they were eating, where were the bowls, chopsticks, and rice?
Moreover, there was another reason why Bai Yang was hesitant to eat. The fruit, barbecue and wine in front of him were fine for these barbarians, but would there be any adverse reactions if he, an Earthling, ate them? Some things that were food to these people might be deadly poisons to him!
When Bai Yang was observing these people, they were actually observing him secretly, especially the old man with white beard, who saw all of Bai Yang's reactions and nodded thoughtfully.
Then he said something to the back of the house, and a woman came out, holding a wooden tray in her hand and walked straight towards Baiyang.
When this woman appeared, Bai Yang's expression froze and he swallowed subconsciously.
She is 1.7 meters tall and has a devilish figure. Even from the perspective of an earthling, she is a standard beauty. Her wheat-colored skin is full of wildness, she has big eyes, a small mouth, a high nose bridge, a small face the size of a palm, and her hair is casually tied into a neat ponytail at the back of her head.
Especially the way this woman was dressed. Her bulging chest was wrapped in a piece of cloth about one foot wide, as if it would be torn apart at any time. Her slender and elastic waist was extremely impactful. A leather skirt wrapped around her lower body. She walked towards Bai Yang with her straight and long legs, almost stopping his breathing.
"What's going on?" Bai Yang didn't understand.
What surprised Bai Yang even more was that the woman walked straight to his side, then knelt on the ground and placed the wooden tray in her hand on the table in front of Bai Yang. On the wooden tray were two wooden bowls, two pairs of chopsticks and a small knife.
The wooden bowl and chopsticks looked like they were newly made no matter how Baiyang looked at them...
The woman first used a knife to cut the barbecue on the table into small pieces under Bai Yang's stunned gaze, then picked up some with one of the chopsticks and put them in a bowl. Then she opened the jar and poured a bowl of emerald green wine into another bowl, and then looked at Bai Yang with her big eyes blinking.
Looking around in confusion, Bai Yang discovered that everyone was looking at him.
"What do you mean?" Bai Yang was at a loss.
The old man with white beard made a gesture of invitation to Bai Yang. He understood that he was being invited to eat.
Looking around, then at the bowl in front of him, and then at the woman beside him who had a faint fragrance, Bai Yang was very confused.
What made him even more stunned was that the woman looked at him and blinked her big eyes a few times, then reached out and grabbed a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it to his mouth seemingly in an unexperienced manner.
Bai Yang, whose thoughts had almost stopped, instinctively opened his mouth and ate. He couldn't tell what the meat tasted like, and he also forgot whether his physique as an Earthling could eat the food here.
Bai Yang had never experienced such a scene before, being served food by a beautiful girl.
After seeing Bai Yang eating, the people in the hall started eating again, but for some reason, their movements were not as bold as before, and seemed a little awkward.
"He is indeed a young master. He uses extra things like bowls and chopsticks when eating, and he can't eat without a woman to serve him!
" "It is a blessing for us to have such a young master come to our village. We must serve him well."
"If he likes the kitten, the kitten will be blessed."
A group of people who were eating and drinking were talking in low voices in a language that Bai Yang couldn't understand...
Chapter 10: Due to the language barrier and the random gestures,
Bai Yang was confused. A beautiful girl fed him with her own hands. He had never experienced such a scene before. Even on Earth, few rich people could enjoy such a luxury.
So he would eat whatever the girl fed him in a daze, and drink whatever the girl gave him to drink.
He drank the bowl of emerald green wine in one gulp after the girl fed him. A few seconds later, his nose started bleeding and he fell to the ground unconscious...
The whole hall fell silent, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared in amazement at Bai Yang who had fallen to the ground.
The girl who was feeding Baiyang blinked her eyes, looked at the people around her, and quickly waved her hands and said, "It wasn't me. I didn't do anything to him. I don't know what happened..."
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and carry it to the room," the white-bearded old man said anxiously, then he looked towards the hall and said loudly, "Huzi, go find old man Mu for me!"
Huzi, the third barbarian defined by Bai Yang, was stunned for a moment, dropped the piece of meat bone in his hand and ran out in a hurry.
Bai Yang, who had fainted and was still bleeding from the nose, was hurriedly carried to a room on the second floor of the tree house. A group of people nearby were running around in a panic. If it weren't for the white-bearded old man who drove them away, a dozen big men would have packed up this small room.
The girl who fed Bai Yang kept wiping his nosebleed with a rough cloth, but the bleeding would not stop no matter how hard she tried.
After a while, an old man in a rough green cloth robe came here, pushed away the people around him and sat down beside the bed. He took off the gloves on Bai Yang's hands and took his pulse, then turned over Bai Yang's eyelids to observe.
During this process, people around held their breath and dared not make a sound.
After the green-robed old man finished, the white-bearded old man hurriedly asked: "Old man Mu, what happened to this young man?"
The green-robed old man stood up and said unhappily: "This young man is fine, he's just too weak. The ginkgo wine you gave him to drink contains a lot of blood-replenishing substances. He was too weak to be replenished and fainted. Give him some heat-clearing medicine soup later and he will be fine."
"That's good," said the white-bearded old man with relief.
…
After all this incident, who would have thought that they couldn't even afford a bowl of the ginkgo wine they drank as water.
Ginkgo wine is made from dozens of fruits and some things that replenish blood. It can be called fruit wine or medicinal wine. For these people who only grow muscles but not brains, it is okay to drink as much as possible, but Bai Yang's "thin" body can't bear it. Fortunately, he only drank one bowl. If he drank more, the blood and qi would rush to his heart and he might be burned to death.
When Bai Yang woke up in a daze, he saw a pair of bright big eyes looking at him without blinking, then the person said something with a smile on his face and ran away.
Bai Yang scratched his head and recalled that he seemed to have drunk something and fainted for no apparent reason.
After realizing this, he almost slapped himself and told himself that you are a bad-mouthed person and eat nonsense. You are lucky that you are not dead.
"I seem to have passed out after drinking alcohol, and I also had a nosebleed. Could it be that the alcohol was poisonous? That's not right. Not only am I fine, but I feel much more energetic. It's as if I have endless energy, especially my head is very clear..."
Bai Yang racked his brains but couldn't figure out what was going on. He tilted his head in shock and almost died of laughter.
In this room, not far away, Barbarian No. 1 and Barbarian No. 3 were studying their own things respectively. Barbarian No. 1 was struggling with his gloves, trying to put them on his hands but couldn't get them on. As a result, he accidentally tore them and was scratching his head.
Barbarian No. 3 was even more ridiculous. He was studying his flashlight that had a stun function. He thought it was magical that the flashlight could light up with a single press. He pressed it against his eyes to light it up and then turn it off. But when he pressed the red button on the flashlight, there was a burst of crackling noises. The guy's hair stood up, his whole body twitched, and he fell to the ground with a dull thud...
This scene happened to be seen by Bai Yang who had just woken up, the girl who had gone back, and the old man with white beard who had come with her.
Bai Yang was very happy in his heart. The electric baton was not worth much, so it didn't matter if it was broken. The key point was that it was the first time he saw someone using an electric baton to poke himself. The guy was as strong as a bull, and Bai Yang didn't worry at all that the other person would be hurt by the electric baton.
However, the other people, after being stunned for a moment, hurriedly checked the condition of Barbarian No. 3. They only breathed a sigh of relief when Barbarian No. 3 staggered to his feet and dared not drop the electric baton on the ground even if he was beaten to death.
Then the old man with white beard carefully held Bai Yang's electric baton and brought it over to him and placed it next to him, mumbling something in his mouth. Finally, he muttered something to the woman, then left the room with Barbarian No. 1 and Barbarian No. 3.
"%&...*￥...%￥", the woman looked at Bai Yang with her big eyes and said something.
But who knows what she is talking about.
The girl was dressed like a summer urban beauty, but Bai Yang had no intention of looking at her at this moment. He let out a light cry and fumbled around his body. Fortunately, his cell phone was still in his pocket. He took a look at the time while the other party wasn't paying attention and immediately got up.
"It's over, it's over. It's already twelve o'clock, and it's noon over there. There's no signal here. We've been out of contact for too long and my parents will probably have to call the police."
While muttering to himself, Bai Yang grabbed the electric baton beside him and ran out. In his panic, he forgot that the house was built on a tree and almost fell down when he went out.
The woman behind was chasing him with a lot of chatter, but Bai Yang couldn't understand what she was saying, so he didn't care about it. He went downstairs and came to the hall where he had eaten before he fainted. Those people were still there, but they were just gathered together and no one knew what they were discussing.
When Bai Yang appeared, more than ten pairs of eyes stared at him.
"Well, you guys go ahead and do your work. I have something else to do and I have to leave. I will be back."
Regardless of whether they could understand or not, Bai Yang left behind these words and ran outside. When he got outside, he found that it was around noon here. The bright sunlight shone through the leaves, forming beautiful spots of light in the jungle.
After going down the stairs to the ground level, Bai Yang ran towards the door. He didn't want to disappear in front of these people.
However, when he ran, the people behind him who didn't know what happened to him were stunned for a moment and then started chasing him. Oh my god, someone shouted something and Bai Yang was knocked to the ground before he ran 20 meters.
A muscular teenager pressed Bai Yang to the ground with one hand and grinned foolishly at the people chasing him. He was pulled away by the old man with a stick, who carefully helped Bai Yang up and mumbled something incoherently, but from his expression it was clear that he was apologizing.
"You little brat, don't you know how to be gentle? How can I withstand the torment from you barbarians?" Bai Yang stood up with a grin and muttered in his heart.
However, he didn't understand what the old man with white beard said at all, which led to an awkward situation where you each said yours and I said mine.
What followed was a bunch of random gestures, and both sides were just guessing, vaguely understanding what the other meant.
Bai Yang guessed that the other party was trying to get him to stay longer. He also showed the beautiful girl to Bai Yang. He didn't know whether he was giving the girl to him or the girl would be responsible for taking care of him while he was there.
However, Bai Yang gestured to the daytime to let the other party understand that he had to leave first because of an urgent matter, but he said he would come back.
It was really tiring. Something that could have been explained in a few words ended up being explained like crazy by both parties because of the language barrier.
Understanding Bai Yang's meaning, the old man asked someone to bring a black jar to Bai Yang, and then gave him a cloth bag wrapped in a ball as a gift for him. Bai Yang said that he had nothing to give them, but he would definitely bring them gifts next time he came.
Then Bai Yang walked out of the village gate, not caring whether someone was secretly following him. He turned a corner and disappeared from this world...
When Bai Yang left, the woman looked extremely lost and ran away with red eyes. The old man with white beard sighed helplessly.
Soon, several people came back from outside the village to report the situation.
"Village chief, we just followed him secretly, but found that the man avoided our sight and disappeared in an instant," said a hunter with the most hunting experience in the village.
"I understand. Let's just leave it at that. Just pretend nothing happened. Alas…", the old man with white beard sighed, waved his hand, turned and walked towards his tree house.
"He must be a young master from some family. The clothes he wore were made of material that we mountain people have never seen before. He lives a life of luxury and cannot even eat by himself. He also carries with him a magic weapon (electric baton) made by Shinto monks. He left without a sound, so I'm afraid a powerful servant took him away... I hope we can establish a good relationship with him, and he can come and see him one day... But I feel sorry for the little cat, he didn't like her at all, otherwise he would have taken her away when he left..."
The white-bearded village chief sighed helplessly, and he was already certain of Bai Yang's "identity".
For these mountain people, it is an honor to receive a rich and powerful person!
As for the fact that Bai Yang couldn't even understand what they were saying, it wasn't a problem at all. This world was so huge, and every ten miles away, the accents were different, and every hundred miles away, the language was different. It was normal for guests from afar not to understand what they were saying...
