Chapter 376: Ancient Journey (13)
It's just two spring rains, and the forest is a green scene, of course there are no wild fruits in the forest, but there are already a lot of wild vegetables, no matter what, as long as it is spring, you won't have to worry about eating.
Yuma is burning a tree under the cave. Trees are not burned for destruction, but for timber. They didn't have tools like axes and saws, but July seemed to have this method in his memory, which was to find a smaller tree, press it down with a rope, then wet the whole tree, light a fire at the base of the tree, and add water to the tree as it burned, so that after a few hours of burning, the tree would be burned. I tried it in July and it really worked.
Yu wasn't surprised that July could think of such a method, after all, July was the messenger of the god of fire, and in his opinion, it was all taught to July by the god of fire.
July plans to fence the neighborhood so that it will be much safer to handle food under the cave. The cave is safe above the ground, but it's too strenuous to climb up and down. If possible, July would also like to build a house of wood. It's just that it's impossible to build a house without tools, and July hasn't figured out a way to turn wood into planks yet.
In addition to burning trees, the foundations of the fence were also dug. In July, he dug a semicircular trench in front of the cliff of the cave, which was more than a meter deep, and then cut the burned wood into the same length, and buried the lower half side by side in the trench.
It's a very big project, but it's spring now, so I don't have to worry about eating. Yuu has been digging ditches at home, while July goes out hunting and digging wild vegetables. Yuu actually prefers to go hunting, digging ditches he finds boring. He loved to fight wild beasts, and even though it was dangerous, he enjoyed it.
But poor Yuu was suppressed by July. I finally practiced for a winter in July, of course, I wanted to try my current level, how could I stay at home and work as a coolie.
He repeatedly persuaded the danger in the July Forest, not because he wanted to go out, but because no matter which tribe, as long as there were men, most women were still safer in the tribe. Of course. There are also tribes where women are more aggressive, but hunting is also done in groups, and a single woman is released to hunt. Unless all the men in the tribe are dead.
July didn't listen to the advice at all, and went out with a spear in his resentful gaze.
This winter, not only July is telling stories to You, but July also asks You about some hunting experience. How to distinguish between prey tracks and droppings. What are the weaknesses of which beasts. Yuu is a good hunter, and for that, Yuu is very proud. Speaking of the tribe, Yu gushed excitedly, he was the best hunter among the young people, he should have been able to do a coming-of-age ceremony a long time ago, but he really wanted to be stronger and hunt a big prey. That's until now. It's a pity that his rite of passage was ruined by July, if he went back with the corpse of the scorching beast. I'm afraid that I will be respected by all the clansmen!
July can see Yuu's loss, but July is helpless. July is not a sinister and unscrupulous person, but he is also not a selfless and noble person. Selflessness is not such a sentiment in July, and I don't want to have it, because such people usually die quickly.
But today's July is very disappointed, in the past July was not able to catch prey when you could always see a lot of animals in the forest, but really interested in hunting, half a day, but did not see a hare, the only one caught a hare, probably because the winter has just passed, the July caught this hare is thin and pitiful.
There are a lot of mushrooms in the woods in July, but July can't tell which ones are edible and which ones are poisonous, so he has to give up. I picked a lot of wild vegetables, and only then did I return home with the rabbit in July.
When I went back, I was in the sun, and my bronzed skin was covered with sweat. In fact, from this point of view, although Yu is not handsome, he is quite masculine.
July didn't have much interest in beautiful men, so he just took a few looks and went to cook. July skinned the rabbit, cut it into large pieces with a stone knife, threw it into a clay pot and boiled it on a wild vegetable stand, and the fragrance wafted out. The smell of food made July's stomach rumble after a busy morning.
When the meat was about to be cooked, July shouted. After a while, You came back after washing in the stream.
I don't understand why July always has to let himself take a bath, even when the weather is cold and can't be washed, July would rather waste wood and boil water to wipe it. Although Yu felt that it was very troublesome, but the absolute authority of July made Yu dare not refute, so he could only do it, because if he didn't listen, July would not give him food.
July has taught Yu how to use chopsticks for a long time, but Yu still hasn't learned it, and all he can do now is hold two chopsticks and fish them out.
You held the chopsticks and pulled them in your mouth, eating Hu Li, July was biting the rabbit's bones next to him, and suddenly July thought of something. July never asked You if there was salt here, because in the memory of the original owner, there was indeed no salt here, but in winter, July also found out, even if it was close to life, but the news was not well-informed, maybe the Tao tribe didn't have it, but the fire tribe already had it?
July looked up at Yu Yu, who was eating, and asked, "Does your tribe have salt?" or have you ever seen or heard of salt?"
"Salt." Yu said this pronunciation awkwardly, "What is that?" Yu asked, looking at July with vague squint eyes as he ate.
"Alas" sure enough, no, July sighed.
In fact, if you think about it, there is not even a sea nearby, how can there be salt.
"It's okay, it's just a little white stone with a smell. July replied listlessly.
Without salt, there is no strength, and although the blood of animals is used to replenish salt, it cannot be compared with table salt. What's more, July is eager to eat savory dishes.
Yu scratched his head, "There is no small white stone with a smell, but I have seen a stone with an unpleasant taste, which is bitter." ”
"Bitter?" July was stunned.
July muttered again in thought, and then said with some surprise, "Where did you meet you?"
"When I went to the sheep tribe, I met them and heard from their people that sheep like to lick this kind of stone, and they call this kind of stone sheep stone. You didn't know how to say the south, south, west, and northwest, so he pointed in a direction and said to July, "Which mountain you cross, there is a place where there are many such sheep stones, and the sheep tribe sometimes goes there to pick up sheep stones and go back to worship." ”
July thinks that this thing is mountain salt nine times out of ten, but he is not sure, but there is this possibility.
But even so, this already makes July happy, dishes without taste are normal for Yuu, but for July, it's really torture.
"Let's pick up some tomorrow and come back!" July said with gusto.
"And what about this uh fence you're going to build?" "Yo finally remembered what this fenced thing was called.
