Chapter 274: Exploration and Discovery (2)
"Brother Yong, I see it's getting dark now, why don't we find a place to camp?"
After looking up at the sky and the surrounding environment, he carefully put forward his own suggestion to Song Yong.
In fact, it is still early in the morning, that is, it is more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
In the current primitive era at the beginning of summer, it is usually almost eight o'clock before it gets dark, which means that there are at least three hours before the sky is completely dark.
It's just that at present, they have gone deep into this huge mountain forest, and they are at least fifty miles away in a straight line.
This can be said to be the Gray Rabbit Tribe, a dangerous area that hunters who used to just catch rabbits, almost never visited.
They had no idea what kind of powerful beasts were entrenched here.
In the face of such circumstances, the poor scoundrel and his hunters have always been very nervous in their brains, and they are cautious and refreshed, for fear that the noble brother Yong will encounter danger.
Finding a safe camp for the night has become an inevitable choice.
After Song Yong heard this, he naturally didn't joke with his precious life, he first picked up the telescope hanging around his neck and looked around.
At last he pointed to the north-east, the stretch of mountains, and said:
"I saw that there was a natural rock wall and a waterfall, and we might as well go there and find a cave where we could live. ”
When spending the night in the wilderness, it is definitely the best choice to have a cave to live in.
Therefore, the gangster did not have any objection to Brother Yong's statement, and the group turned around and walked towards the stone wall and waterfall five or six miles away......
After more than an hour, the group came to a huge waterfall about 20 meters wide.
However, only five or six miles away, the group walked for such a long time, mainly to prepare the ingredients for dinner in the evening.
Although it is said that this time it came out, the team brought a lot of jerky in advance.
But these hard jerky, since Song Yong almost broke his front teeth when he took a piece and nibbled on it at noon, he never wanted to eat these things again.
Instead of torturing yourself with this thing, you might as well cook some wild vegetable soup and drink it.
In this mountain forest, which has never been touched by humans, there are all kinds of wild animal species and a large number of terrifying.
On the way to the waterfall, on the treetops of one of the wild walnuts, Song Yong was surprised to find more than a dozen fat pheasants staying, which looked quite spectacular and delicious.
For this reason, Song Yong drew his bow and arrows and shot down seven pheasants in a row from the treetops.
It is estimated that these pheasants have never seen humans, let alone that humans still have bows and arrows, which are deadly weapons for them.
It was also after Song Yong shot down three pheasants with three arrows in a row that they reacted and wanted to fly away.
In the process, four more were shot down by hooligans and others, so that the ingredients for everyone's dinner were completely in place.
But even so, Song Yong still said to the hooligan:
"There are so many pheasants in a tree, and there is a pheasant nest on it, go and look for it carefully, and if there are wild eggs, they will all be taken down for me. ”
"I'll go, I'll go!" Song Yong's voice had just fallen, and Huang shouted loudly.
After receiving Song Yong's nod of approval, he put down the spear in his hand and climbed along the thick trunk towards the tree in a puff of smoke.
In this process, Song Yong clearly saw the corners of the mouth, and saliva flowed out, probably thinking of scrambled eggs with wild leeks, a rare delicacy in the tribe.
Mainly pheasants come down in a year, which is generally a maximum of two nests of eggs.
The peak period of egg production is also the current time, and if it is replaced by other times, no matter how good this thing climbs trees, don't think about how many wild eggs you can find......
Not to mention, Abara also found a lot of wild eggs in the trees.
He found three pheasant nests, each containing at least a dozen eggs, and when added together, there were fifty-two.
This means that in the evening, you can make a large portion of scrambled eggs with wild leeks.
It's a pity that when I taste the amazing aroma of wild leek scrambled eggs, I am still poking my head around to see where there are wild leeks.
Instead, Song Yong took the thick leaves and carefully wrapped all the wild eggs.
And he commanded the ara, "Be careful, put them in the middle of the herbs, and don't break these eggs." ”
As soon as he heard this, he hurriedly shouted:
"Brother Yong, aren't you going to eat all these eggs tonight? ”
"I tell you, boy, if you want to have eggs every day in the future, be careful not to break them. Song Yong looked at the wilderness and said meaningfully.
After hearing this, he hesitated a little, and finally chose a bright future where he could eat eggs every day.
He even took off the animal skin that wrapped his upper body, and carefully wrapped a thick layer on the leaves that covered the eggs.
This is indeed the case, these fifty-two wild eggs, Song Yong is of great use.
As a descendant of the Chinese nation, if you don't want to raise some chickens and ducks when you farm, doesn't it seem unqualified at all?
In the past, Song Yong was still worried about the source of the chicken seedlings, worried that the chicken seedlings brought from the modern plane would not survive at all.
But now with these wild eggs, then nothing is wrong.
No matter what kind of soil method is used to hatch eggs, these 52 eggs can always hatch a part of the pheasants, and then the next thing is naturally the continuous domestication and breeding of chickens laying eggs and egg-hatching chicks.
Therefore, this trip is only about these wild eggs, and there are already a rattan basket of herbs, and this trip is considered to be a big profit.
The problem is that to this day, the seeds of the grains have not been found.
One mile away from the waterfall, after some discussion, they finally chose a piece of stone ground with their backs against the stone wall as a temporary campsite for tonight.
As for the best option for camping: the cave, the group searched for a long circle, but they couldn't find it at all.
However, with this huge stone wall on your back, if you really encounter any situation at night, you won't be attacked on all sides, which is also a good choice.
Because at noon, he just gnawed a little bit of jerky, and Song Yong was very hungry now.
At his urging, several hunters took seven pheasants to the waterfall, and after a short while, they cleaned them up and brought them back.
This time the plan will come out for several days, and the big shells like the marching pot will naturally be brought over several times.
It's just that with this simple marching cauldron, Song Yong doesn't plan to use stewing and barbecue to process these seven fat pheasants.
Instead, I plan to have a fresh way to eat it: call it Flower Pheasant.
The pheasant is a good pheasant, stuffed with a little wild condiment, smeared with a little home-grown salt, and then wrapped in a layer of banana leaves, wrapped in mud and simmered over a charcoal fire.
That is, there are no children in this wilderness, otherwise they would definitely be hungry and cry on the spot.
As early as when he asked people to clean up the pheasants, Song Yong called the hooligans to go to the surrounding places and find a little clean soil to come back and use it as mud to wrap the chicken.
When the hunters returned to camp with the cleaned pheasants, the hooligans also returned with dirt.
Far away, the kid shouted: "Brother Yong, I've found the soil you want, you see if the amount is enough." ”
I went! I saw that the hooligan came back with a rattan basket and hundreds of pounds of dirt, no matter how it was, it was enough.
Song Yong didn't bother to scold, and directly motioned to the hooligan to come over quickly, so that he could get the clean water back, wet the soil and turn it into mud.
And after Song Yong grabbed the soil, looked at the red color, and felt the delicate feel after getting started, he was stunned for a moment.
Because this red clay is not used to make excellent red clay for pottery?
