Chapter 8: To Kill or Not to Kill
No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are also meat, and the grasshopper legs are also meat.
Tong Chen finally realized the profound meaning of the gap between his teeth, although he ate a lot of food, but he was a drop in the bucket, and he couldn't make any waves in his stomach.
Tong Chen suddenly remembered that there should be small animals next to the river, and it was good to catch them and eat them.
As the saying goes: one side of the water and soil nourishes the other side, and a river near Beigou Village has existed for a long time, and the source of the river seems to be in the deep mountains.
Tong Chen's subsistence water is this river, and he is not worried about the sanitation of the river, because the water used by the whole village comes from this river.
Tong Chen came to the place where he was used to coming, but he searched by the river for a long time, and he didn't see any small animals, only some common insects in the grass.
The unwilling Tong Chen walked up the river.
The width of the upper reaches of the river became narrower and narrower, but the current was much faster, and after walking for more than ten minutes, a small oval pool with a diameter of three or four meters appeared in Tong Chen's sight.
Before Tong Chen could reach the edge of the pool, he suddenly saw a black shadow jumping quickly from the edge of the pool into the long grass, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
What is it?
Could it be a frog?
With doubts, Tong Chen cautiously touched the edge of the waterhole to find out what was going on.
Puff pass···
Suddenly, several black shadows jumped out of the aquatic plants;
"It's really a frog", this time Tong Chen saw it clearly.
It is also a delicious dish to disembowel, clean and roast frogs on branches, Tong Chen's mind flashed a scene that had been deeply impressive on TV.
Thinking of the delicacy, Tong Chen felt that his stomach was getting hungrier and hungrier, and after swallowing his saliva deeply, he acted impatiently.
Tong Chen touched the place where the frog disappeared just now, and began to look carefully, but the frog didn't know where it went.
Suddenly, Tong Chen's eyes were attracted to the waterhole.
The small black tadpoles in the waterhole are like unrestrained elves swimming freely, and there are some green frog eggs floating around the waterhole.
But what really attracted Tong Chen's attention was not these, but the fish he had been looking forward to for a long time in the depths of the water.
The fish wasn't very big, only the size of a finger, but it was enough for Tong Chen to be excited for a while, this was the first time he had encountered a truly edible animal since he had survived in the wild.
Obviously, fishing doesn't work, there are no fishing rods at hand, there are no fishing nets, there is nothing, and it seems that the only way to catch fish is to use the most primitive methods.
Tong Chen pondered for a moment, and he decided to catch the fish with his bare hands.
Tong Chen stretched out his hand to test the water temperature, and the water temperature was not cold due to the sunlight.
This water is moderate, and it is just right to take a bath, Tong Chen has a flash of inspiration.
Tong Chen stretched out his hand and was about to take off the only underwear on his body, but after thinking about it: Don't take it off, in case there are other creatures in the water, or some terrifying water snake, it won't be fun.
was originally in a happy mood, Tong Chen was frightened by himself, and suddenly felt a little terrifying in the water, and even half of his courage to enter the water disappeared.
After struggling in his heart for a long time, Tong Chen finally made a decision by gritting his teeth.
It was when the sun was slowly getting hot, Tong Chen's body was already covered with sweat, and when the warm water completely soaked Tong Chen's whole body, he felt how comfortable it was to take a bath in the summer heat, and he also experienced the comfort that he had never had these days.
At this time, Tong Chen quickly made a choice happily in his heart, put the fish aside first, and then soak comfortably in the bath first.
When the sun was approaching overhead, it was too hot to be able to do it, so Tong Chen began to sway around looking for fish.
That's right, he started looking for fish, he was also soaked in the bath, people were in the water for a long time, and some fish ran away early, and besides, the sun was so hot at noon, and the fish were no longer in the original place.
As a result, of course, nothing was found.
After the defeat, Tong Chen also reacted, seeing that it was so hot and hungry, he had to return to the camp.
After eating something and taking a nap, Tong Chen returned here again in the afternoon.
This time, Tong Chen became smarter, and instead of rushing over to disturb the frog, he lightly touched the grass, which was where the frog escaped last time.
Now the frog could not escape here, but could only flee into the water.
Sure enough, as soon as Tong Chen stepped into the grass, several frogs turned around and jumped into the water.
Tong Chen's movements were not slow, and in the same way, he also threw himself into the water, aiming at one of the frogs.
Frogs are not very slow to react, but they are undoubtedly less likely to escape than humans deliberately catch them.
After capturing one more, the other one had not escaped Tong Chen's sight, and as a result, Tong Chen caught two frogs at once.
After pressing the frog with a stone, Tong Chen walked to the waterhole to observe whether there were any fish, and checked for a long time, but he didn't see a single fish shadow.
Could it be that the movement just now scared the fish away, and there are too few fish, and it seems that the plan to catch the fish can only be abandoned.
With the harvest, Tong Chen returned to the camp, and he was worried again.
If you want to eat frogs, you have to kill them, but the drudgery of killing frogs is too hard for Tong Chen.
He doesn't think he's a good person who helps people, but when it comes to killing, Tong Chen can be said to be inexperienced.
When he was young, he didn't know if he was ignorant and fearless, or he didn't understand anything, and occasionally dared to bully a frog to death.
Now, needless to say, killing a frog and letting him catch a hideous insect with his hands, he will be scared back half a step.
Unlike in the past, Tong Chen couldn't make up his mind when he looked at the frogs fighting in his hands, and as soon as he let go of his hands, the two frogs that were not easy to catch immediately jumped and fled from the land of right and wrong.
Watching the frog disappear, Tong Chen's heart was again troubled by gains and losses.
Alas, I am making a mistake, I spent a lot of effort to catch a frog, but I turned out to be like an ignorant girl, I didn't even dare to kill a frog, what can I do in the future?
Hey, I don't even have a fire, and I can't cook a frog when I kill it, so I can't just eat it raw.
Tong Chen found an excuse that was irrefutable.
Without the delicious roasted frog he imagined, Tong Chen had to continue to eat some fruit for dinner.
Every time I eat fruit, I must have lost a lot of weight, and I don't know how much I have lost weight.
That's right, don't you have any system, remember that you have weight on it.

"Damn, I remember that the last time it was 130 pounds, this time it became 124 pounds, I lost a full six pounds in a week, what weight loss pills are not as fast as this, I am not very fat myself, I survive in the wild a few times, I don't know what kind of bird I have become."
Looking at the words 62, Tong Chen felt a little distressed in his heart.
Which damn guy developed this system, and is it designed to torture people?
What other health status shows that I am sick, what is my illness? I'm in good health, even if I have any illness, why don't you write it?
I admit that my physical fitness is not very good, and I don't usually exercise much, but what does it mean to be extremely poor, this is completely contemptible, naked contempt.
