    ☆, Ancient Era 2

    After running for more than an hour, the man slowed down and carried Yao Ji out of the dense forest.At this time, the sun had set from the clouds, and the dim sunset was like a candle in the wind, casting shadows on the ground.Yao Ji lay face down on the man’s shoulder, and she somewhat understood why he was in a hurry. Behind them, the dense forest was like a huge mouth that was about to be swallowed by the night. There were faint beast roars coming from it, and there were many voices that Yao Ji had never heard before, but which made people feel horrified from the bottom of their hearts.

    This is ancient times, far away from civilized society, let alone rules and regulations, even human lives cannot be preserved.Thinking that she was lying on the soft kingsize bed more than an hour ago, Yao Ji really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, what evil had she done?

    Fortunately, unlike most modern girls, she is not an ordinary person after all. In the end of the world, the environment may not be better than now. She will also lose her freedom and be captured. As long as these ancient people do not have the custom of cannibalism, Yao Ji feels that she can still persevere.

    She encouraged herself in this way, and when the man carried her into a village, she suppressed her anxiety and put on a calm look.On the contrary, when people in the village saw her, both men and women looked at her with surprise, especially the men who looked at her up and down, which made Yao Ji feel like a prey just waiting to be slaughtered.

    She soon realized that this was not an illusion.

    The man put her on the open space in the center of the village. It is not accurate to say “put”. It should be that as soon as he let go of her hand, Yao Ji fell heavily to the ground.The pain made Yao Ji couldn’t help but wrinkle her little face, and she glared at the bastard savage more and more fiercely. She didn’t know if she had seen it wrong. The man seemed to have a guilty look, but it was a pity that his face was full of beard, so Yao Ji couldn’t tell what his expression was.

    As more men returned to the village, beasts still dripping with blood were constantly being beaten next to Yao Ji.Those who went out should be a team specialized in hunting. Their prey ranged from large to small, and the most common ones had movements similar to those of a yellow sheep. They were not large in size, but should have thick flesh and soft skin.Yao Ji also saw the young man who had been separated from them in the team. He saw the bearded man standing not far away and walked over to talk to him. While talking, he looked at Yao Ji from time to time.

    As she was noticed, more and more people gathered around her and started pointing at her. All of them were naked. The men had animal skins wrapped around their waists and abdomens, and the women did not wear any clothes either, but used a slightly larger animal skin to surround the same place.Obviously, no one feels ashamed to be dressed like this, but Yao Ji is wearing clothes – even if it is just a short nightgown, it is out of place here.

    The stone houses surrounding the open space further revealed the barrenness of this era. Yao Ji suddenly felt the urge to cry. No, this place was different from the apocalypse. At least there were cars, air conditioners, and modern technology in the apocalypse, but here… there was nothing except ancient people who could not communicate.

    The intense depression surrounded her, so that she didn’t even notice that the people around her formed a circle, surrounding her and the pile of bleeding prey.A middle-aged man wearing a feather crown came out. He was obviously more gorgeously dressed than the others. He wore an animal skin with bright patterns around his waist and several strings of animal teeth hanging around his neck. Yao Ji guessed that he should be the clan leader or something. As he raised the wooden stick in his hand, the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet. He punched the ground three times with the wooden stick, and then shouted loudly: “Urisi!”

    “Urisi!”, “Urisi!”, “Urisi!”

    The crowd shouted three times in succession, and at some point a huge bonfire was lit in the open space. The flames burned the dead branches and made a peeling sound. The crowd was silent. For no reason, Yao Ji actually saw a hint of solemnity in this wild and simple scene. They… they were probably offering sacrifices?

    Of course, after a long time, Yao Ji learned the language and customs here and realized that she had guessed wrong. This was not a sacrifice, but a celebration ceremony held every time the tribe went out for a month-long large-scale hunting.At the celebration, people sit around the bonfire to share the freshly caught prey, and those vigorous warriors will show off their trophies in front of all the tribesmen. Among them, the ones who gain the most are the worthy warriors.

    Yao Ji saw the men who were out hunting standing in a row. The order of standing should be random, except for the two people slightly ahead of the others, one was the young man, and the other was the bearded man.The bearded man was obviously revered by He’s tribe. Every time a prey dripping with blood was brought to He, the crowd would burst into cheers, and there were even excited warriors beating the ground with wooden spears.

    It’s just that the bearded man remained motionless, looking calm and composed, but… Yao Ji thought, even if he was very proud, there was actually no way to tell from his bearded face.She couldn’t help but stare at the bearded man’s face, trying to see his emotions from this man’s eyes.Unfortunately, she and the man’s eyes met again. Yao Ji glanced away lightly, as if she was looking there accidentally, and the bearded man did not look at her. He lowered his eyes, as if he was in a trance.

    Compared with he’s calmness, the young man on the other side was obviously much more enthusiastic.Almost all the girls in the village flocked to he’s side. He stepped back with a smile on his face and waved his hands as he didn’t know what he was talking about. Yao Ji guessed it was something like “Thank you for your support, I will definitely work harder” to thank the fans?She laughed at her cold sense of humor, and soon couldn’t help drooping her lips. After all… could she survive tonight?

    Originally, she was thinking about escaping, but after seeing the bearded man’s amazing strength and speed, she gave up this idea completely.It is certain that these ancient people are definitely different from people in modern society. I don’t know if humans have degenerated with historical changes, or if these people have eaten something that has increased their power.

    Just as she was thinking, she found that the eyes of the crowd were once again focused on her. All the prey had been removed and placed in front of different men, except for her.

    The middle-aged man who looked like the patriarch made a majestic voice, and seemed to be asking the bearded man and the young man something. They both lowered their heads respectfully. The young man said a long list of words, as if he was explaining to the patriarch, and pointed at Yao Ji while speaking.Seeing the patriarch looking at her frequently, Yao Ji guessed that he was describing how to capture her?

    It was probably as she speculated. After the young man finished speaking, the patriarch nodded and then asked again.Yao Ji was sure that it was definitely not her illusion. After the patriarch asked, the people around him became serious. They looked nervously, looking at the young man and then at the bearded man.

    Immediately, the young man stepped forward with a firm expression and a loud voice: “Aesop!”

    The crowd became more and more nervous, and everyone turned their attention to the bearded man. Yao Ji didn’t know why, and couldn’t help but follow him. The bearded man stood there, and he had been silent since the beginning of this “sacrifice”. He should be a person who is not good at words, and being watched by so many people, he was like a piece of wood.

    But after all, he couldn’t remain silent forever. He raised his head, and his brown eyes seemed to be burning under the blazing bonfire. He took a deep look at Yao Ji, took a step, and a low voice rang in the ears of everyone present: “Aesop, Kusola.”

    After a long time, Yao Ji realized the meaning of that sentence. What he said was: “Yes, she is mine.”
