Chapter 368: Ancient Journey (5)
Don't worry about food sources, this night was the most filling dinner in July. In addition to roasting a large piece of wild boar meat to treat herself, July also boiled some wild eggs he picked up during the day in a lunch box. The tasteless meat was just that, the boiled eggs were the best thing she had ever eaten these days in July, and she almost gobbled it up, and she still had a feeling of unfinished food after eating.
Since the trap began to catch prey, July began to deliberately put more bait on the trap, although the grass and trees have now withered yellow, but there is still some hay, which is still very attractive to herbivores. In his leisure time for fishing, all of July is spent collecting hay, part of which is woven into straw mats, and part of which is used to lure the animals into the bait.
It didn't take long for July to pick up four hares, a badger-like animal, two deer, and a lamb in the trap.
When I picked up the lamb, I hesitated for a long time, and the lamb should have been born not long ago, although it is still wild and difficult to train, but if it is raised, it is very suitable. But now that it was almost winter, it was unsafe and cold outside, and it was impossible to feed it, and July could not transport the lamb to his cave and live with it, so he could only kill the sheep in pain. I couldn't help but comfort myself that if I can catch it now, I can catch it next year, and I must catch some sheep to raise it in the spring, so that even if I don't go out to gather and hunt, I can have food to eat.
The weather was a little colder, and it was always gloomy during this time, and July felt like it was about to snow. Because I caught fish in the river once before, although I didn't get sick in July. But there was always a dull pain in my knee. July is a doctor, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and now the woods are not green. In July, I couldn't get any medicinal herbs, so I could only treat them with massage techniques to avoid falling into arthritis later.
The weather was a little cold, and there was already a thin layer of ice on the river in the morning and evening, and only a few fish were caught after catching them all morning. This made July very dissatisfied, but July didn't dare to go into the water again. After all, she is not short of food now. There are already hundreds of fish in the family, all of which are cut into pieces and dried in July, and then stored in baskets made of vines.
It's a lot of brains to make up these baskets. Her handicraft skills are only simple things such as weaving soft ladder fishing nets, and she can't do basket weaving at all, so she can only slowly explore. However, the weather is getting colder and colder. In July, the time spent going out was reduced. In addition to fishing and collecting wood every day, July spends all of his time weaving mats and baskets at home.
After countless frenzy, July finally made a few baskets that were not so beautiful but still sturdy and practical. It doesn't matter to July whether she looks good or not, as long as she can hold things, she is already very satisfied. Now that he is more and more experienced, July has also made a basket for himself that he can carry, so that he doesn't have to worry about what to do if the two plastic bags are broken.
July walked back with a basket of fish on his back, and during this time he could only wear a down jacket. There are many places where the clothes have been scraped open. July was so distressed that he could only sew a dress for himself with fur. Although it is nondescript. It can be said that it is quite ugly, but the dress is still warm, and the down jacket was replaced in July. The basket on his back rubbed against the fur on July's back and made a cooing sound, and on the way back, July suddenly heard a roaring sound of an unknown animal not far away.
July was startled when she heard this, July knew that there were wild beasts in the woods, but in fact July had only met a few wolves. July went up the tree the moment he saw them, and the wolves kept watch below for a while, probably because there was no shortage of prey in the forest, and the wolves did not entangle, and then left.
The beast's voice heard in July was obviously not the same as that of a wolf, and it was much louder, sounding somewhat similar to that of a tiger.
The place where the sound came from was the location of July's trap, and July's heart was pounding, and although he wanted to investigate, he finally remembered that he was unarmed, so he decided not to risk it until he ran back to his residence, but he could still hear the roar from the woods.
The place where July lived in that location was too close for July to find out, otherwise it would be as if she was living on a bomb, and she could be eaten by a beast that suddenly appeared at any time.
During this time in July, a javelin was sharpened out of a stone spear head, which naturally cannot be compared with iron tools, but now it is the best weapon that July can find.
Not only that, July also sharpened a stone knife, and the fruit knife that July brought has been put away by July, and now this thing is very precious, if it is broken, it is impossible to get one, and July is now a place where you can use a stone knife, so you are reluctant to use it.
Along the way, July was very careful, and when he was approaching, July seemed to hear the sound of fighting, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that two fierce beasts were fighting?
July didn't dare to hold it up, and almost every step forward was more careful, always next to the tree, in case it was not good, he would run to the tree.
Probably more than a few dozen meters away, July didn't dare to go any further, stuck the javelin in the back basket behind him, and dexterously went up the tree.
The weather was gloomy and the light was dim, and when July lifted the branches of the trees and looked into the distance, he saw that above the clearing where he had dug his trap, a man and a beast were now fighting inseparably.
Although July couldn't see it clearly, but judging from the figure, the man should be a man, with a very strong figure and flexible skills, and he narrowly avoided the attack of the beast several times, but even so, he also suffered a lot of injuries.
This beast July didn't recognize, and it looked a bit like a leopard, but it was much taller than a leopard, not as fast as a leopard, but very powerful.
The beast was also wounded, and had a stone spear pierced in its back, but the handle of the stone spear was broken, leaving only one section in the beast's body. The golden fur on the beast's back was already stained red with blood. The pain made it even more furious, and the roar was deafening.
The human had obviously fallen behind, and he had fallen to the ground during the weapon fight, but he couldn't pick it up, so he could only shout loudly and intimidate the beast, but he was still forced to retreat by the beast. Just as he was about to reach his knot, he suddenly stepped on a piece of soft dirt with his heel, and his body shook. Before he could even think about why the land was soft, the beast had already pounced on him. He rolled on the ground and dodged, but his shoulder was scratched by the beast's claws, and blood flowed profusely. The beast wanted to hit the man again after hitting the ground, but unexpectedly, the ground suddenly sank, and the beast immediately fell into a pit. (To be continued.) )
