(the following text)
Early the next morning, Li Sheng woke up early. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info toilet water didn't do much, the mosquito made a general attack before dawn, and he was woken up by an itch.
When he woke up, he was not surprised to find that there was a fragrant little girl in his arms. He hadn't forgotten what had happened last night. Of course, he can not only send four, but also ten. Nothing happened to them except for a night in a hammock.
He gently pulled out his crushed arm and got out of the hammock. The little girl was still at the age of snooze, and his movements did not completely wake up the other party.
He went to the creek to wash up and waited for the day to slowly dawn.
As soon as the morning dawned, the tribe began to get busy again. The men were ready to go out hunting. The women need to prepare breakfast for them. And breakfast is as simple as a crumpled tapioca flour.
The taste is quite poor, and Li Sheng will eat it as well.
When the men split into groups and went out hunting. There were only women and children left in the tribe. The women didn't know what to say when they pulled Tia, and they glanced at Li Sheng from time to time when they spoke.
You don't have to think about it to know that it's definitely not a good thing.
After a while, Tia didn't seem to be able to stand the ridicule of those women, and ran to Li Sheng's side lightly and said, "I'll take you around." ”
Li Sheng was also uncomfortable in a group of indigenous people, and it was just right to go out for a walk, so he said, "Where are we going?"
Tia rolled her eyes and said, "Do you have a gun?" ”
Li Sheng actually wanted to go hunting, just like walking with Taclolo and them, but thinking of the language barrier, and he was not familiar with their cooperation. If you go by yourself, you can't help it, and maybe you will be a burden to your family.
Tia's proposal now suits him.
He brought not only a pistol, but also a bow.
Seeing Li Sheng take out the folding bow, Tia's eyes bent and said, "Bring some snacks, we won't come back at noon." ”
It turned out that the men of their tribe who went out to hunt basically did not come back at noon. Because they are likely to have to travel tens of kilometers from their homes to hunt, and spend a lot of time searching for and tracking their prey. It is simply impossible to come back at noon.
Li Sheng learned that those prime of life did not come back, and he didn't want to stay here and be pointed at by those women, so he said, "Okay." "Not only did he bring a pistol, but he also took out a quiver, which contained thirty-six arrows. Twelve heavy arrows with triangular arrows, the rest are ordinary bows and arrows.
As they left, the sudden cheers of the people of the tribe — which he thought were cheers — were a little inexplicable.
Tia led Li Sheng upstream along the river. After a kilometer or two, there are paths, which I think were stepped on by people from the tribe. When they walked to a hillside with small trees, Tia told him, "This is the tribe's cassava field." ”
Li Sheng looked at the cassava on it, the place is not big, if you look down from a high place, you can see the same green, and there are some small trees in the middle, it is easy not to feel that this place has been cultivated.
But doesn't it mean that the indigenous tribes are slash-and-burn in their farming patterns? These cassava are so dense that they don't look like them.
He asked, "You've been growing cassava on this land?"
"Well, the elders say we should grow cassava on a piece of land. If we burn the wasteland, the devil will find us. ”
Li Sheng probably understood. Maybe this tribe had an accident because of the burning of the wasteland, so now they all use a fixed place to plant.
But how do they ensure the fertility of the land?
In response to this question, Tia raised her chin and said with a little pride: "We have known for a long time that leaves and grass can maintain the fertility of the land, so we will collect leaves and grass from other places and put them here to make fertilizer, and then mix them in the soil when we grow cassava. ”
Compared to other indigenous tribes, it is indeed quite advanced. Li Sheng vomited in his heart. But it's better if they don't burn the wasteland. Burning means the risk of forest fires.
"Are there a lot of cassava fields like this?"
"There are several pieces that are grown like this. ”
Li Sheng looked at a piece of land that was about a few acres, and although the cassava was planted quite messily, it was very dense, probably because of the fact that they kept the land very well.
Passing through the cassava fields that Tia was proud of, they followed the mountain stream into the depths of the col. There is a large waterhole in it, which is the source of the mountain stream. There should be a spring in the waterhole, and the water has been flowing out, but no water source has been found.
However, they did not linger long by the waterhole, and Tia looked at the ground by the waterhole for a while, and then took Li Sheng and began to climb the mountain. And from here, there is no road.
There were many shrubs and vines on the hillside, and the road needed to be opened, so Li Sheng walked ahead.
Li Sheng then remembered something, and asked as he opened the way: "Didn't your tribe go out to hunt only for men? How do you know that there is prey here?"
Tia smiled and said, "It's usually men who go out hunting, it's not that women are forbidden to go too. When we fish, we go out together. She giggled.
She remembered that when she and Li Sheng first met, it was the whole tribe that went out to fish. At that time, she was pulling the grass of the poisonous fish with a few friends.
Li Sheng had heard her talk about that before, and now that he thought about it, he felt that it was a mistake. If they hadn't all been out of the picture, perhaps they wouldn't have caught his and Thomas's attention. Of course that doesn't happen.
He was about to speak, but Tia whispered, "There are animals passing by here." It's Simolo. ”
Li Sheng also smelled a special smell. But what was Simolo? Listening to Tia's description, he probably thought it was Cimoro. He watched a lot of documentaries about this animal, and he heard Thomas talk about it.
Piccons are also known as Amazonian wild boars, but they are not actually wild boars. They have stinky glands on their bodies, and the smell is not good. Many times they walk by, and the smell of sticking to the road does not dissipate for a day.
They are usually not very large, the largest is said to grow up to sixty pounds, but they always move in groups. There are usually numbers between ten and a hundred, as well as a herd of small wild boars. They are omnivores but mainly eat plants, insects, and frogs, and sometimes carcasses.
The corpse of the drug dealer who was killed by them on the farm last time was gnawed off a lot of meat by this animal.
However, "the smell is already very light. They've been passing through here for quite some time. ”
Tia searched for a moment on the ground and said, "I guess I passed through here last night." She pointed in one direction. "We're chasing this way. ”
Thomas said that although the catfish are not large, they are numerous. If it is provoked, there is still a certain danger.
He grabbed Tia and said, "You go behind." ”
"But I can find traces of them passing by. Tia was a little unhappy.
Li Sheng smiled and said, "You think only you can find it?" He carefully searched for the footprints of the West Cat in front of him, and asked her as he asked. "You've been hunting before, so that's why you know this?"
"Nope. But my friends and I have done traps, so I know how to find them. ”
The two followed the scent and footprints of the cattle for more than ten kilometers. Li Sheng smelled a strong stench of cattle. It means that they have stayed in this place for a long time, and it is likely that they have not been gone for long.
Centricos also have their own spheres of influence, so they usually don't go very far. Li Sheng released the energy field induction for a while, and it was not found within a radius of one kilometer. But soon he and Tia found the direction of the cat's head in the clutter of traces.
The two continued to follow the smell and traces left by the catfish for about an hour, and Li Sheng heard the sound of chattering and the noisy sounds of animals in front of him. It's not far.
Li Sheng put a finger in front of his mouth and motioned for her not to make a sound. Then he pointed to the place, meaning to let her stay here and not follow.
Tia pouted, but nodded in agreement.
Li Sheng handed her the machete. Then he drew a normal arrow and placed it on the bowstring, spreading his field to sense the situation of the herd.
He hadn't taken two steps yet, and he probably sensed the situation of the western herd clearly. This is a large population, with more than 60 large and 30 small ones.
He was afraid that he would alarm the western cattle, so he did not dare to go too fast. He also controlled the air to gently move the branches and leaves of the bushes, and locked his scent around him to prevent it from spreading.
This trick worked, and he quietly touched a place more than a hundred meters away from the Xi Qi group. Sai was still not alert.
However, the shrubs on this hillside were dense, and he could see the cats, only the shaking of the bushes, and he could hear their cries as they forage.
But it's not an obstacle for him. The air could tell him where each of them was. It's just that the bushes are in the way, and the arrows will definitely be affected.
He put the arrow back into his quiver and took out a heavy arrow. Heavy arrows are heavier, have a stronger piercing ability, and are less affected by shrub foliage.
He touched another thirty meters closer, but still did not alarm the herd. But this distance is enough. The number of these cattsons is not the largest, but there are several of them that are relatively large.
His target was the biggest.
This folding bow, he can't just leave it casually. He took his position, held his breath and drew his bow, and the arrow was ejected from the bowstring. The arrows sank into the bushes, but he didn't stop there, and in just three seconds, he drew his bow five times in a row, and fired five arrows in a row.
The herd of cattlemen made a sound like a barking dog, and some made a quacking sound. The group of western cattlers, who had been leisurely rummaging through the roots of the insects in the rotten leaves, fled. Li Sheng didn't want to let them go, and regardless of the bushes in front of him, the whole person smashed forward like a leopard to break away from the bushes that blocked the way, and before he ran to the place where the group was foraging, he shot three arrows one after another.
When he got there, the frightened herd had already run away, and was blocked by the trees, and there was nothing he could do against them unless he could direct the arrows.
However, the eight arrows that were fired just now gained a lot. There were four catkins on the ground that had been nailed to the ground by long arrows through their heads, and one was shot through the abdomen, and they were also nailed to the ground, still howling. However, the damage caused by Mitsubishi-shaped arrows will kill it sooner or later.
Li Sheng took out the dagger, held its head with one hand, and the dagger was inserted diagonally from its neck to the back, and when it was pulled out, a stream of blood spurted out. Its heart was pierced. It didn't take long for the injured catfish to stop.
He just pulled the arrow off and walked away, the stench was too strong. He found the other three heavy arrows, two of which he had hunted, and one of them had missed. He looked at the heavy arrows, which were a little blunt, but not very noticeable. He took out a piece of cloth to wipe the blood from it and put it back in the quiver, and then dragged the two cattails to the place where the other five were placed.
