So what kind of exclamation will the love affair between two different races make people feel?

Savage love

(i)

Wushan Mountain in the east of Shennongjia, also known as Zhongwudang, is 1752 meters above sea level, where a group of people who live both farmers and hunters, a considerable part of the farmland hangs on the slopes of Wushan Mountain, and the farmland is surrounded by primitive forests with ancient trees and bitter bamboo forests. There are many poisonous snakes and beasts in the dense forest, and every autumn when the crops are about to ripen, they will come out in groups to attack the farmland and waste the crops, so that in this season, most people either themselves or hire people, a shotgun, a hunting dog, guard the farmland.

Wei Afu is an orphan, his life is bitter, eight months old daddy was slapped by a bear in the hunt of the right arm flesh and blood, 20 days later infected and died of thick, the mother with Ah Wei who is still in the swaddling bag, washed his face with tears all day, two years later he gave up in the world and went with her husband. The people there are simple and simple, and Xiao Afu grew up eating the hundred meals of the aunt and the eldest wife of the Ben family. In adulthood, Afu's house has no room and no land, does odd jobs in spring and summer, is hired to watch crops in autumn, has food and housing, and is happy to be idle - one person eats enough for the whole family without hunger.

It was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the moon was round and large, shaking white and shining on the ground, and the forest in the distance looked darker, more mysterious, and full of killing chances under the silver moonless light.

Ah Fu's large font stretched out in the shack, shouting all night long, making him tired, when the sky was bright, he was really sleepy, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he patted the head of the hound Ah Meng, and the confusion gradually fell asleep.

Suddenly, a fierce dog bark woke him up from his dream, today Ah Meng's bark was different from the past, not a ferocious threat, but full of fear, Ah Fu a spirit, subconsciously grabbed the shotgun, quickly jumped out of the curtain made of grass, stared at it, only to see a tall figure more than a dozen steps away, like a non-human, white miserable hair with the stride of the black shadow exploded. Ah Fu couldn't help but snort, and every hair on his body shrank into the flesh. Ah Meng saw the master come out, the dog was fighting, flying towards the black shadow, the black shadow lifted his feet, a scream, the calf large hunting dog brushed out of the ground more than a dozen feet away... Ah Fu's frightened soul flew away and trembled as he raised his shotgun... Black Shadow A big stride, a hand raised, the shotgun disappeared... Ah Fu didn't know anything about the darkness in front of his eyes........

(ii)

I don't know how long later, Ah Fu woke up, only to hear the wind whizzing in his ears, the trees and forests in front of him flashed by, and he fainted like floating in the waves. Ah Fu blinked vigorously, looked up at "Ma Ya" and almost fainted again---- he was being held by the monster. When the monster heard his cry, it looked down at him, face to face: it saw that its eyebrows were thick and long, its eyes were sunken, its eyeballs were yellow, its nostrils were as wide as a lion's nose, its lips were prominent, and its body was plush. Seeing Ah Fu wake up, he let out a strange cry. Ah Fu quickly closed his eyes, afraid of not knowing how to be good. The monster carried Ah Fu over several large mountains, through several forests, and came to a steep hillside with strange rocks and strange trees, and pulled out the dense bitter bamboo and burrowed into a cave. The cave is wide, and on the left there is a thatched platform, much like a large bed for people to sleep. The hole was full of gas, and the right corner of the hole was piled with something, mixed with the shame in the hole, and filled with an inexplicable taste of blood ---- monster put Ah Fu on the thatch, the action was gentle, very considerate, and the mouth was still humming and saying something, the tone was gentle, not like there was any malice, Ah Fu was slightly relieved. At this time, he carefully looked at the monster in front of him, only to see that it was seven or eight feet tall, its face was like a monkey, its eyes were round, its ears were larger than human ears, its hair was very long and colorful, its hair was spiky red, its limbs were almost human, but it was slenderr than a man, and there were two white dangling tits on its chest--Ah Fu only then understood that he had met a wild man----

The mother savage was very happy to see Ah Fu wake up, and she took a piece of bloody animal meat and handed it to Ah Fu, who was sick to her stomach and almost vomited. The female savage took out another piece of animal bone, which was attached to a trace of red flesh, and Ah Fu quickly closed his eyes. The female savage took out a legged pheasant and pulled it with both hands, and the cackling pheasant turned into two halves. It looked at Ah Fu expectantly, and Ah Fu shook his head with excitement. The female savage seemed to be in a hurry, scratching her ears and scratching her cheeks, looking a little irritable, thinking about it, and holding out a large handful of fungus. Ah Fu was afraid of provoking it, and barely ate a few bites, and the mother savage saw it, and danced happily, and her mouth was full of "hey hey hey". Ah Fu took advantage of its happiness and made a drinking action, the mother savage immediately turned around and walked outside, took a few steps, turned back and looked at Ah Fu hesitantly, Ah Fu closed his eyes, fell on the thatch, and gently snored, and the mother Savage left with confidence.

(iii)

As soon as the footsteps outside the cave disappeared, Ah Fu and a carp climbed up, and crawled to the mouth of the cave in a panic, looking around like a thief, and the figure of the female savage was gone, Ah Fu flew out of the cave like an arrow, and the duck flew away like a ghost. He even crawled with a rolling belt, only hating his parents for having two legs less, and he couldn't distinguish the direction, he just wanted to leave the cave as far away as possible. He panicked, stumbled, did not care about the branches, did not care about the thorns and feet, ran straight sweaty, panting like a cow... I don't know how long I ran, I don't know how many roads I ran, and I don't know where I am, until I am about to collapse, and then I sit on the ground. At this time, his eyes were golden, his mouth was dry as fire, and he was breathing heavily. It was noon, and the dense forest cracks were filled with wisps of sunlight, grass and fluff, wildflowers, and red, very enchanting. Ah Fu, who had escaped from death, was not in the mood to appreciate this beautiful scenery at all, he only felt that his thirst was unbearable, his muscles were rutting, and he looked around, and there was a small stream in front of him, and the clear stream sang cheerful songs and jumped forward lively. Ah Fu crawled to the side of the stream with his hands and feet, and drank like a cow with his face to the stream, completely unaware that danger was approaching him----

( IV )

After leaving the cave, the female savage came to the stream in a big stride, it picked up some water with its hand, turned its head and walked, only two steps, the water escaped from the cracks of its fingers, so several times, it shook its head, thought for a while, then picked a wide banana leaf, filled some water, took a few steps, and the water overflowed from the leaves. It looked at the stream with a blank stare, tilted its head and thought about it, picked a few wild fruits that could not be named, and hurried back in a hurry.

After Ah Fu finished drinking the water, his heart was slightly calmer, he wiped his mouth, while looking at the surrounding environment, thinking about where to go, he did not expect that there was a big tiger on the other side of the stream, staring at him fiercely. This was a tiger that had been hungry for a few days, and had originally targeted an elk drinking water here, but did not expect to be scared away by Ah Fu. The tiger was very angry and spread his anger on Ah Fu. It moved slowly forward, its yellow fur shining golden in the sun. Ah Fu was pondering in his heart, when he suddenly smelled a smell of blood, not only did he fight a cold war, but his heart suddenly mentioned the throat eye, he looked at the opposite side with infinite fear, "Ma Ya" a sound, a hot stream down his legs, the instinct to survive made him subconsciously move backwards. The tiger reached the edge of the stream, roared violently, his body became a cat, and with a "whoosh" sound sandwiched by a fierce wind, he pounced on it, and the blood basin bit down on Ah Fu, who closed his eyes in despair, only to wait for death...

The female savage was walking on the road, when suddenly the brain stirred, a dangerous signal flashed out, its nose wrinkled, two steps back, a look, a tiger is about to eat its Ruyi Langjun. It screamed loudly and angrily, its hair stood upright, and the brushes of the trees on both sides shook, and it suddenly pounced on the tiger, grabbed the tiger's two hind legs, and split the tiger in half with one force. Ignoring the bloodied tiger, it picked up Ah Fu, who was fainting on the ground, and strode toward the cave.

Ah Fu woke up again, four days later. When he opened his eyes softly from the nightmare, he only felt a headache, and every inch of flesh in his body was like a knife cutting. He couldn't help but groan, and immediately a drop of sweet spring flowed into his mouth, he sucked greedily, and his whole body was immediately much more comfortable. He looked up and saw that it was the female savage who was twisting a wet dress in front of his mouth, and it looked at Ah Fu's eyes full of worry, care, and joy at the same time. It saw Ah Fu wake up, humming with joy... Ah Fu's eye sockets were hot, and he couldn't help but shed tears----

The mother savage picked some herbs from nowhere, chewed them with her mouth, and fed them into Ah Fu's mouth. The bitter taste of the herbs mixed with the fishy smell of the flesh in the mother's wild population made Ah Fu want to vomit, but out of some mood, Ah Fu did not vomit, but swallowed the herbs hard. The mother savage was particularly happy, busy in and out, and took care of Ah Fu wholeheartedly.

On the seventh day, Ah Fu's stomach "grunted" and wanted to eat. He made a eating gesture toward the mother savage, and the mother savage immediately brought a large handful of fungus, mushrooms, wood heat, wild fruits from the corner of the cave, and Ah Fu ate a few bites of cassava, and then lay down again.

On the eighth day, Ah Fu was completely well, although his body was still a little soft, but his spirit was very strong, and the mother savage was happy to scratch his ears and scratch his cheeks, one would touch Ah Fu's head, one would pat Ah Fu's hand, and the other would scratch Ah Fu's feet. At this time, Ah Fu, with gratitude to the mother savage, the fear naturally decreased a lot, he smiled at the mother savage from time to time, expressed friendship, the mother savage saw, but also danced with his hands, a "hey hey" to express the joy in his heart...

The sky gradually darkened, the afterglow of the cave was swallowed up by the darkness little by little, everything in the cave became blurry, only the eyes of the female savage shone brightly, it slowly approached Ah Fu, and gently snuggled with Ah Fu, one would stick to his cheeks, one would touch his stomach, and one would pat his back. Ah Fu was a little flustered, slowly surrounded by an inexplicable warm atmosphere, and a desire arose in his heart that he had never had before, and a primitive instinctive impulse made him restless. At this time, he developed a family-like attachment to the mother wild man, and involuntarily hugged the mother wild man and fell on the thatch...

Since then, the mother savage has carried him with her, sometimes it holds him in its arms, more often it carries him on its back, and when it is flat, it holds him with one hand and pulls out the branches and vines with the other. When he went up the mountain, he held him in one hand and landed on the ground with the other, and from time to time turned back to him and said softly "Ah hey, hey, hey", and after a long time, Ah Fu also understood some of its meanings, such as "ah hey, hey, he", "go, go", "eat, eat" with him, he was with it, he had a sense of security, and he had the security of an only forest.

Recently, the mother savage has become very greedy, and it no longer carries Ah Fu out, but puts him in the cave, of course, every time he goes out, he will block the opening of the cave with a large stone that a dozen boys can't lift. It desperately moved food into the hole: animal meat, wild fruits, wild vegetables, cassava stolen from the farmland, corn, etc., and one day it actually got two bloody tiger skins, until Ah Fu heard the wind "whirring" outside, and realized that it was to reserve grain for the winter, and at the same time, he also found that the belly of the female savage was bulging.

The female savage did not go out anymore, and it was busy in the hole with its gradually bulging belly, and more often it would point to Ah Fu with her fingers, pat her stomach, and mutter something in her mouth. At the moment, its face was overflowing with happiness, savage-like happiness. At night, Ah Fu will also press his ear to the round belly of the female savage, listen to the banging sound inside, and gently press the place where the string is rubbed with his hand, and the female savage laughs happily. Ah Fu experiences a different kind of fun, and develops an inexplicable friendship with the mother Savage...

Winter is coming, and the actions of the female savages are getting worse and worse every day, and they are getting more and more uneasy every day. Finally, at the night of the star lang of the month, his stomach ached, and he could bear it at first, and gradually suffered from it. The mother savage screamed loudly, rolling back and forth, sweating and suffering, Ah Fu was very anxious, and did not know how to help it, had to rub his stomach with his hands, the mother savage looked at him, his eyes were full of gratitude...

At dawn, with a loud cry, a hunky baby was born. Looking at this fluffy little thing, Ah Fu should not only laugh or cry. The female savage wrapped the fur child tightly with a piece of animal skin, lifted the huge breast, put it into the mouth of the hairy child, and the crying "quacked" and stopped, only the "nourishing" sucking sound. About the milk had not yet come down, and with the sound of the hairy child "nourishing" the milk, the mother savage frowned in pain, and her body was shivering, but she still refused to move the hairy child away.

...... It was still the mother savage who went out, Ah Fu took care of the hairy child in the cave, and when the mother savage returned in the evening, she picked up the hairy child, held it high, and when she went up, "Hey hey" was happy, and sometimes handed the hairy child to Ah Fu, and Ah Fu learned its appearance, regardless of Mao's "wow wow" shouting... "Wow wow" yelling and "hey hey" laughter intertwined to form a strange picture.

(vii)

...... Winter came to spring, and Ah Fu did not know how many years had passed. On this day, the mother savage went out, and the little hairy child chased the sunlight that penetrated the hole with a branch, and his mouth was still whimpering. Ah Fu looked at his son who was bouncing around alive, and his heart shook violently, and the long-lost emotion suddenly surged into his heart: Yes, you can't live a lifetime of savage life, for the sake of your son, you can't go on like this. As soon as the thought flickered, the thought of escaping arose. For several years, the Mother Savage treated him well, snatching him back from death several times. The female savages have a favor with him, but after all, they are two different kinds of human races, and it is impossible to live in the same world. He thoughtfully looked at the top of the cave, found a piece of loose soil, tried to use his hand, a large piece of dirt fell, Ah Fu was excited and jumped, but also gushed out a sense of guilt. Looking at his son who was bouncing around alive, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

The next day, the mother savage went out on the front foot, and Ah Fu picked up the stone prepared the day before and dug up the soil on the top of the cave. He was anxious, gritting his teeth and staring, his hands flew around, and the little hairy child stared at two big eyes that resembled Ah Fu, staring curiously. Ten, twenty... An hour passed, and Ah Fu was sweating profusely, panting, and not exercising for a long time, his two arms weak and weak. He did not dare to slacken off, gritting his teeth and insisting. Finally, the top of the cave opened, and a large hole with a basin mouth appeared. Ah Fu turned around and picked up the little hairy child, forcefully sent him out of the hole, and then squeezed out with great effort. Outside the sun was shining, and the intense light was shaking Afu's head. He picked up the hairy child, pulled out his leg and ran...

For several years, Ah Fu was first carried by the wild man, and then nestled in the hole, and his two legs were unlikely to run, but he still desperately tried to string forward. The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, this is the last attempt...

...... Ah Fu did not distinguish between the east and the northwest, and ran forward with all his strength. His brain went blank, just thinking about the farther away from the wild man, the better. Suddenly, a heavy footstep came from behind, and with his many years of life experience with the savage, knowing that the savage had arrived, he hurried into a tree hole and hugged the hairy child tightly, and his heart was about to jump out in horror. A fierce wind swept by, the dust flew, and the footsteps of the wildlings shook the mountain. The female savage was in tears, her cloak was scattered, and it was crazy, and the thigh-thick tree that stood in the way was split in half by its "click" palm, and the zhangshi flew the large stone and "boomed" down the cliff with one foot. Its toes were bleeding, its teeth were cracked... Ah Fu frightened the three souls, and the remaining half-souls could not fall at all. Maybe it was a tailwind, and the mother savage didn't find them. It wasn't until the figure of the mother savage was gone that Ah Fu took a slight breath----

Three days later, Ah Fu met a hunter, under the guidance of the hunter, Ah Fu returned to the village, the villagers were surprised to see him return, and after he stuttered and vaguely recounted his encounter, the villagers sighed and settled him down.

(viii)

At night, all the dogs in the village were screaming fiercely, the horses, sheep and chickens were also hissing uncomfortably, and the village head sounded like a thunderclap... The villagers raised their shotguns with a roar, and suddenly the smoke filled the air, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. In the light of the fire, Ah Fu saw the weeping face of the mother savage, the red eyes, and the bloodied mouth. It's "wow wow"

Shout, rush forward without a fate... Ah Fu's heart was sour, and he couldn't help but raise his son, and the little hairy child moved forward with both hands, "Wow Wow" and cried. When the mother savage saw Ah Fu, her eyes were very complicated, there was anger, there was resentment, there was sadness, there was expectation, there was pleading... It saw its son, and his eyes were full of love, pain... It opened its arms and wanted to embrace the father and son. The villagers raised their shotguns again, and the female savage hesitated slightly, turned and ran.

For more than ten days in a row, the mother savage people were crying at the head of the village, their voices were miserable, and they were calling out to the father and son of Afu. Ah Fu tried to rush out several times, but was stopped by the villagers...

Since then, the village has gradually calmed down. After another ten days, the villager Ah Qiang told Ah Fu that a wild man had died on the East Mountain, and Ah Fu rushed to go with his son, and sure enough, he saw it creeping to the ground, holding his hands in front of him, carrying a tattered men's robe in his arms, and staring at the village with his eyes fixed on hunger strikes.

(Epilogue)

On the east hill, there is a very large tomb, and the stone stele is engraved: The Tomb of the Beloved Wife Savage. Fu Afu, Son Ono Keiri. Flowers bloom in front of the tomb, offerings continue all year round, and cigarettes are smoked. After returning to the village, Ah Fu refused the persuasion of many people and never married. Before he died, he instructed his son to bury him with his mother Savage, and he would live with it forever in another world.
