Chapter 367: Ancient Journey (4)
The wind outside was blowing, although the hole was deep, but the flames were still swaying back and forth by the wind that leaked into the hole, July really couldn't think of a way, and forced down the irritability in his heart, and July planned to sleep for a while. This time is really tired, the warmth of the ground baked by the bonfire also makes people drowsy, July spread some hay underneath to keep warm, and then lie on it half-squinting and thinking began to empty, just when it seems to be asleep, July unconsciously saw the soft ladder piled up at the entrance of the cave for going up and down, and then was stunned, only felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, but the drowsy brain has not yet reflected.
After a while, July sat up suddenly.
That's right, if you can weave a soft ladder, you can also weave a fishing net! July can't wait to punch yourself, why didn't you think of it earlier!
Because I was so excited to think of the fishing nets all of a sudden, I couldn't sleep in July, so I simply didn't sleep. When the ladder was made, July got a lot of vines back, and now there are still a lot of them piled up in the corners of the cave.
I haven't done braiding fishing nets in July, but fortunately, the fish in the water are very large, and I don't need to weave them densely in July, as long as I knot and weave them according to the warp and weft.
After not sleeping all night, July finally made up a net more than ten meters large. When it was about to dawn, I couldn't stay up, so I fell asleep on the hay and didn't get up until after dawn.
With the method of fishing, July is no longer saved, and today it is necessary to replenish your physical strength.
July took some of the fish he baked yesterday and boiled it with the lid of a lunch box, and after boiling it into a pot of fresh and thick fish soup, he drank it all in one go. He filled his bag with today's rations and excitedly headed towards the river.
July is also out of the box today, and I took off my shoes after a little hesitation. Rolled up his trouser legs, and went down the river to catch fish in the cold water.
Xu is because there are not many natural enemies, there are too many fish in this river, after the first net in July was almost dragged into the deep water by the fish, gritted his teeth and released more than half of the fish, July used the strength of milk, only felt that he was about to explode the small universe. Then he struggled to drag the remaining fish ashore.
When he got to the shore, July was afraid that the fish would run away, and when he dragged him away from the shore, he sat on the ground. The whole palm of his hand was worn out, and it hurt hotly. But at this time, a broken hand was not a priority, and July's feet were already frozen and even unconscious. July hurriedly took the only towel. I quickly dried my feet. Holding his feet and rubbing back and forth, he finally rubbed out the hot air, then put on socks and shoes, and drank some hot water in a thermos cup to warm himself up.
The hands and feet are still hot, but the fish that were caught made July's heart itch, it doesn't matter if you look at it, there are more than a dozen big fish. Jumping around in the net, the smallest one was nearly half a meter long. July almost cried with excitement. July never thought that one day she would be moved to death when she saw a few fish, but now these fish have given July hope, and her fighting spirit that has been worn out by the difficulties these days has returned in an instant.
At this time, I thought about it just now, the river was so cold, if he was dragged into the water, even if he was good at water, he would not drown, but if his clothes were wet, I was afraid that he would get sick if he didn't freeze to death. July no longer dared to enter the water, so he threw a fishing net from the shore into the water, and as long as he caught a fish, he quickly dragged it back.
It's just that this is much smaller than the harvest, and it wasn't until twilight that July stopped, and counted today's results, and there were as many as twenty-five. Joy has alleviated July's fatigue a lot.
In July, the fish scraped the scales and gutted them, and then they were strung one by one with the vines prepared in advance, and the entrails were thrown back into the river, so as not to attract wild beasts to the smell of blood.
The fish were so heavy that July made two trips to get them all back to the cave.
When I returned to the cave, it was already dark, and the cave under the firelight was full of fishy smells, but this fishy smell actually made July feel an incredible sense of happiness.
The fish was too big to dry without cutting it, so July cut it into pieces with a fruit knife as usual, and put half of it under the thorns at the mouth of the hole, and the other half was still roasted on the large flat stone next to the fire.
I was so tired today, I drank some fish soup, and I didn't want to move anything, I just wanted to sleep. He threw a few more large pieces of wood into the fire, and July could not even squeeze out a single strength, and fell asleep leaning on the hay.
When I woke up, I found that the flames were about to go out, and I was startled, I slept so deeply today, in case any animal came in, wouldn't it be that I didn't know how it died, and when I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel a layer of cold sweat on my body.
I warned myself a few times not to be so careless in the future, rekindled the fire, cooked fish soup, and continued to start a new day after eating.
Before fishing in the morning, July went to the trap he dug as usual to have a look, and the trap had been dug for five or six days, but he never caught any animals, and even July began to lose hope.
The first trap from the house still didn't catch anything, but it may have been that July's luck began to improve as he caught a fish, and in the second trap, July actually saw a wild boar.
Wild boars' eyes glow when they see July, and they glow when they see wild boars in July. If it's outside the trap, with July's current skills, he will definitely not dare to fight hard. Adult wild boars are scared, even tigers. But now this pig is useless even if it is cruel to itself, it may be that when it fell in, its abdomen pierced the wooden skewer below, and there were a lot of blood stains in the trap, and the wild boar was desperately fluttering up in the small trap, but it only made the blood flow faster, but it couldn't come up at all.
July didn't poke it with the sharpened wooden stick in his hand, this wild boar has thick skin, and the wooden stick can't be poked to death, in case he scraps the wooden stick that he has been hard to sharpen, I'm afraid July will be distressed to death.
In July, he laboriously moved a few large stones, and a few stones fell down, and the wild boar was directly stoned to death.
July confirmed that the boar was dead and dared to drag it up next to the trap. However, this wild boar had more than 100 catties, and in July it could only go down to the pit and dismember it into several parts, and then it was transported.
The trap was laid again, and July dragged the boar back. Today's harvest is so good, it's simply unexpected. July didn't have time to fish, so he hurriedly began to clean up the wild boar with a knife. The wild boar was not transported directly back to the cave, it was a place to live, and July didn't want to get bloody, and there was no way to clean it up.
Transporting the wild boar to the creek, July took another unused sealed bag to pick up some of the remaining pig's blood, and although it was disgusting, he barely drank two sips. The body needs salt, even if it is disgusting, it must be drunk.
It was freezing outside at night, and July was not afraid of blood, so he put the bag containing the blood in a recessed stone crevice dug by July outside the entrance of the cave. He cut the wild boar into large pieces and dried them at the mouth of the cave like a fish.
