I am a Primitive Man

Han Cheng was still alive.

He wasn't sacrificed or eaten. Instead, he was carried by his plump second senior brother. Together with a group of primitive people, they traversed through a forest where most leaves had turned yellow.

Looking at his second senior brother, who was panting and drooling while carrying him, Han Cheng had enough reason to believe that if it weren't for the old primitive man and the eldest senior brother, he would have been eaten by his second senior brother on the way.

At this point, Han Cheng couldn't help but wonder what kind of substance the charred shell on the outside of his body was made of. It seemed a bit too tough if it was charred flesh and skin.

He was being carried straight without any twists or turns.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but worry about whether he could get rid of his current state and regain his freedom of movement.

Of course, this depended on whether he could survive.

Until now, Han Cheng didn't know what fate awaited him.

He didn't know if these primitive people, who treated him like a monster, brought him back for rescue or intended to eat him.

The possibility of being eaten was greater based on some knowledge from his past life.

Because primitive tribes tended to be exclusive.

And now he had this strange appearance.

Perhaps due to time constraints, this group of ten primitive people was cautious and in a hurry.

They continuously traversed through the forest.

The forest was not filled with grass and trees everywhere; there were some inconspicuous winding paths, which were unclear whether created by the primitive people or trodden by numerous wild beasts.

On the way, they encountered some beasts, the fiercest being two creatures resembling leopards but much larger.

At that moment, the atmosphere of the entire team became particularly tense.

The old primitive man and Han Cheng, carried by the second senior brother, were quickly surrounded by everyone else. The rest of the group confronted the two large leopards, slowly moving forward with weapons like sticks and stones in hand.

Fortunately, the two leopards didn't attack the group. After a short confrontation, they indifferently leaped onto a nearby tree and left through a shower of falling leaves.

Apart from that, they mostly encountered non-aggressive or minimally threatening beasts. Even the eldest senior brother and the other primitive people teamed up to hunt a rabbit and a colorful chicken.

However, the rabbit and chicken differed from what Han Cheng remembered. He could only guess based on his experience.

As the daylight gradually dimmed, the group quickened their pace. Even if some small prey appeared, they ignored it and did not pay attention.

Having circled for a while, a small river appeared before everyone.

For Han Cheng, who was carried on the back of his second senior brother, it was obvious that the people in the group relaxed significantly.

It seemed their residence was nearby.

The river wasn't large. The widest part was only about two to three meters, and the narrowest part was about two meters. At the narrowest point was a flat stone serving as a makeshift bridge.

Han Cheng, carried by his second senior brother with his face facing down, saw many black heads in the water.

Looking closely, he found that there were various sizes of fish swimming in the water.

As a child, he studied a passage describing the vast North Wilderness. He was extremely envious of the North Wilderness, where they could easily beat hares, scoop up fish, and have wild chickens fly into their cooking pots.

Because in his consciousness, the people living there have meat that can't be finished daily

.

Looking at the number of fish in the river, it is by no means inferior to the North Wilderness.

The crowd walked past the solitary stone bridge and entered the forest, which had shed several leaves.

This time, the walk did not last long before a cave entrance, about one person high and two to three meters wide, appeared in front of them.

At the entrance, four or five primitive women with rudimentary weapons stood vigilantly observing the surrounding area.

As for why Han Cheng knew they were women, it's simple because, like the men, they exposed their upper bodies, and the developed chest muscles were somewhat excessive.

After seeing the approaching group, they shouted joyfully, dropped their weapons, and ran out to welcome them.

Many young primitive people quickly emerged from the cave, shouting and running towards the returning group faster than the adult women. Some mischievous ones directly climbed up their legs.

The cave, silent just a moment ago, immediately became lively and vibrant with the return of the men who had gone out.

Some primitive women wanted to take the strange-looking Han Cheng from third senior brother, Sandy, back, but the old primitive man stopped them.

After a brief moment of joy, everyone returned to the cave together, and by this time, the outside sky had already darkened.

Inside the cave, primitive women and children curiously looked at Han Cheng, asking questions in a language he couldn't understand. Han Cheng, in turn, observed the cave with curiosity.

The cave was not very dark because there was a pile of fire near the cave's entrance.

An old, bare-chested primitive man squatted there, occasionally putting some firewood into it, taking care of the fire, not letting it go out.

Due to years of smoking and burning, the stone walls near the fire pit were covered with a layer of smoky color.

The space inside the cave was large, at least 150 square meters, from what Han Cheng could see.

In some places of the cave, there were scattered piles of things, some of which were fuel like hay and branches, while others, due to differences in light and unfamiliarity with things from the future, Han Cheng couldn't identify.

Not many people were in the cave, only about fifty or sixty, including adults and children. The number of adult men was roughly the same as what Han Cheng had seen today.

Of course, as for accuracy, Han Cheng couldn't guarantee it because he couldn't move now. The light inside the cave wasn't good enough, and people were still moving around, so he couldn't categorize genders in such detail.

He started moving again.

This time, the one carrying him was not Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, or anyone else, but the Eldest Senior Brother in the sexy tiger-skin skirt.

The old primitive man was in front, and the Eldest Senior Brother carried him behind, walking towards the deeper part of the cave.

After walking about ten meters, Han Cheng was put down.

Borrowing the faint firelight from a distance, Han Cheng saw that this was a relatively secluded and independent space within the cave, containing some things he couldn't see clearly.

After being put down, the Eldest Senior Brother said something to the old primitive man, then went out and loudly spoke to the surrounding primitive people.

The people who seemed somewhat idle immediately became active.
