Chapter 4: Life is like a drama, acting is my only way
The thundering roars of beasts, which had a desolate feeling to it, resounded in the ears of the freezing NiuXu.
A few primitive men lit up several torches at the entrance, center and exit of the village, which radiated its brightness over the village.
During this period of time, NiuXu desperately tried to communicate with them by saying, "HI!" as loudly as he could. Even if he could not convince them to let him go, they could at least, not hang him in this manner; Although he knew that the probability of that happening was extremely miniscule, but what if he succeeds?
The conclusion was as obvious as it could be. Those few primitive men could not understand what he was saying, at most, they would just nonchalantly glance at NiuXu before going back to their tasks at hand; It was just like the scene from the market where the butcher gave a casual glance at the chicken that was doomed to be killed.
NiuXu's first desperate attempt at survival was ignored just like that…
Several primitive men were continuously on the lookout, seeming to be impatiently waiting for something; Not long later, after processing the food in the huts, all the women walked out of the huts and joined the ranks to lookout.
Inexplicably, the atmosphere tensify, causing the muddy little rascals to behave themselves; they followed behind the women and looked towards the pitch-black night.
After 1 whole hour, there seemed to be some movements coming towards the village. Under the brightness of the torches, a large group primitive men with well-defined muscles walked into the village.
The group of muscle men numbered up to around 100 and each of them single-handedly held weapons that looked simple, such as stone axes and stone spears, some even held a stone pillar. They casually held the stone pillars that weighed more 100kg each with one hand.
Occasionally, he would see those with a short knife made of bone solemnly slotted into their beastskin belt.
On their shoulders were preys of immeasurable size, the largest one required 4 people to carry it together; If not for the familiar nose and the fangs, NiuXu would have confused this 500kg wild boar with a coming-of-age elephant.
Such a scrumptious meal made the long-awaited women and little rascals cheer in unison, it means that they got to enjoy an enriching meal for a period of time; However, they abruptly stopped their cheering when they saw 2 men carrying a bloody primitivel hunk.
The hunk was then carefully placed near the bonfire. Instantly, the woman with the snoopy underwear pounced over while crying.
One of the primitive men that was in charge of carrying the stretcher pointed at the humongous wild boar while emotionally telling something to those who were in the village.
Those who were in the village instantly expressed expressions of surprise, worry and sorrow that were complicatedly intertwined together.
NiuXu, who had been temporarily forgotten by everyone, vaguely understood what was going on: Those hunks that came back must be this tiny tribe's hunting team and they successfully hunted down a rare wild boar; At the same time, they paid a heavy price, which resulted in an important figure of the tribe suffering from a critical injury.
By borrowing the illumination from the bonfire, NiuXu was able to observe that the primitive hunk's injury was grievous; The elbow in his right arm was already broken, the bottom half of the wrist was no longer present and a long slice could be seen from his chest to his lower abdomen.
Although there was a thick layer of mashed plants covering the slice wound, it failed to prevent the continuous flow of fresh blood from soaking through it.
After countless years of working in the medicinal center, NiuXu was able to deduce that the hunk was in trouble if nothing out of the ordinary happens; Even in the medically advanced year of 2118, this type of injury requires immediate treatment in those big hospitals, and in this damn primitive era, those type of life-saving equipments were impossible to exist.
Apart from that, the bacteria infection from the injury was able to make the hunk lose his life
However, NiuXu unexpectedly saw a plastic bag that was thrown outside a hut, he remembered that it contained a bunch of expired antibiotics; The impetus for survival allowed NiuXu to come up with a bold thought: Maybe I could try to use these antibiotics to save his life.
He knew that the success rate was not high, but if he tried, no matter the consequences, it still wouldn't be worse than his current his situation.
"It's time, to display my exquisite acting skills." NiuXu who often relied on training and watching free movies to past time, murmured to himself.
***
Members of Black Rock tribe solemnly watched the hunk with a feeling of incomparable grief. He was their leader and also the strongest warrior. He laid near the bonfire, dying, soon to return to the warm embrace of his ancestors.
Other than the leader's wife who was weeping loudly, other members had no intention to talk.
Suddenly, a wave of miserable shrieks "Ah, ah.." attracted everyone's gaze.
As they looked towards the source of the sound, they saw the smooth-skinned pretty face that they picked up outside their tribe, was making a plaintive sound like he was being strangled.
Afterwards, the pretty face opened his mouth and after he seemingly swallowed something, he became high spirited. If his hands were not bound together, he would have pounded his chest with all his might to indicate that he was strong.
After several repeated countless acts, one of the women used an extremely uncertain tone to asked the masses, "Is he trying to tell us that he could save leader?"
"Maybe! Why not let him try, if he fails, we can always slaughter him in advance and offer it as a sacrifice to our ancestors." One of the tribe's warriors suggested.
After much contemplation, they agreed to this suggestion; Since leader's injuries were so serious, based on their experiences, he would succumb to his injuries after a few days of painful struggle; Under the blessings of their ancestors, a miracle might happened if they let the pretty face try.
Thus, under the stare of the masses, the released pretty face picked up the plastic bag that was abandoned by them earlier; He handled the pills like treasure and carefully placed a few multi-coloured pills into the leader's mouth.
Next, their leader's formidable wife, Cai, snatched away the weirdo's plastic bag and straight away placed a handful of pills into the leader's mouth; As she was doing it, she scolded NiuXu with a tone of indignant, "What's the use of eating this little? As long as you cured kui, Black Rock tribe will definitely reward you. So stingy!"
When the masses heard it, they nodded their heads in agreement, believing that what she said was right: This pretty face from some other small unknown tribes is definitely not as impressive as us, the Black Rock tribe's warriors.
