Still alive!

After Ma Qiang opened his eyes, these were the three words that flashed through his mind.

I wasn't attacked by wild beasts, and I wasn't bitten to death by a mess of poisonous insects, so it seems that my life is not bad.

Ma Qiang jumped out of the hammock, went to the river to wash his face, and then began to think about what to do today.

After being hungry all night, eating and drinking is the first thing to solve, the food is in the fishing nets, it shouldn't be a problem, it's time to make some cooking utensils.

And then it's to live, the hammock is not a long-term solution, or to cut wood to make a tree house, now there is no way to have iron tools, you can only use stone tools, try to make stone spears and stone axes, I think it's almost the same to do these in one day today.

After thinking about it, Ma Qiang put on his shoes, took a wooden stick and a pistol, and began to look for suitable soil along the river.

Ma Qiang is ready to make pottery, pottery also has a long history, it is a product of the Neolithic Age, and the appearance of pottery should be about the same time as humans learned to use fire, because the production of pottery is an extremely simple thing.

Ma Qiang walked less than 300 meters before he found a piece of fine soil, which Ma Qiang pounded with a wooden stick, which was very soft and had no stones.

"This luck is okay, the resource point is on the side, so it should be done at noon."

Ma Qiang dug up some soil vigorously, which should be called clay to be precise, which can be seen everywhere on the riverside, as long as it is delicate and stoneless, it can be used to make pottery.

Ma Qiang didn't care if his clothes were clean or not, he took the clay back to the place where the fire was made yesterday, and his clam knife was still there.

After hugging him twice, Ma Qiang felt a little tired, after all, he didn't eat.

The clay for the two times was enough, and Ma Qiang brought over the thatch that had been placed under the bed last night to prepare for the fire.

What to do first?

Ma Qiang thought about it and decided to make small bowls and cups first.

The clay was kneaded with water and the dough constantly, and soon the clay felt like plasticine.

I pinch, I pinch, I pinch.

A somewhat non-standard round bowl appeared.

.....

It's kind of ugly.

Pure hand pinching can only be like this, Ma Qiang made a smaller one as a cup, and finally made a big preparation for the pot.

Then there is the ignition, still with the Iroquois style fire picker ignition, with yesterday's experience, today's ignition is very smooth, not seven or eight minutes, the fire will slowly get bigger, Ma Qiang will make the three pottery embryos carefully placed on the stone on the side of the fire, and then continue to add firewood, let the flame bake the embryos of the three pottery.

While waiting for the fire to burn, Ma Qiang prepared to find today's food.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water.

Still ready to eat river fresh, I have to say, there are really many fish and shrimp in the river without human invasion, Ma Qiang only looked for less than half an hour, and found fifty or sixty screws and a dozen shells, there were crabs and shrimps, but he didn't know where to put it when he caught it, so he could only wait for the pottery to be good.

Throw the mussels and screws on the edge of the fire and smoke them, then poke the three pottery with a stick, and when they feel that they are almost done, they throw the hardness of the pottery into the fire to increase the heat, and then pick up the firewood again and throw it into the fire.

Do all this, and it's noon again.

Ma Qiang was a little uncomfortable with hunger, just now he couldn't help but drink some river water again, hoping that there were no parasites.

Ma Qiang sat on the ground, looked at his already dirty clothes, and sighed.

Others cross, either there is a system, or there is an old grandfather, or even a prince at birth, an emperor or something, he is good, and he doesn't have any identity, this is completely the life of a primitive society.

I'm too hard.

What the hell did God let me do? Watch the wilderness survival?

Say in advance that no matter how difficult it is, you will never eat caterpillars!

The time to think was generally very fast, and after a while, the fire began to grow smaller again, Ma Qiang stood up, picked out the pottery in the fire with a wooden stick and knocked it, and the bell rattled.

Come on!

Finally there is a cooker!!

Ma Qiang's tears are about to come out, it's not easy, he can finally have a cool drink, and he doesn't have to worry about parasites.

If the parasite dies here, this is simply discrediting the traversal and embarrassing the party-state!

Ahem, there's something wrong.

The three pottery vessels were rinsed in the river water, and the fire was continued, and the water began to boil, and the shells and screws on the sides were also baked, and they were ready to eat!

Stop... It's really light without salt!

No matter how light it is, you have to eat it...

After eating the shells and screws, the water also boiled, and put the water aside to cool, Ma Qiang began to rest while thinking about what to do in the afternoon.

Salt!

You have to find a way to get the salt first.

Since ancient times, salt has been a material under the official supervision of all dynasties, because people can grow their own food, dig their own wells and drink water, build their own houses, and weave their own cloth, but salt alone has no way to make it out of nothing.

Strictly speaking, salt is a mineral, which can be divided into two types: sea salt and mineral salt, salt is not only a necessity to increase the taste of food, but also an important source of sodium ions and chloride ions required to balance the human cell fluid.

Ma Qiang has exercised a lot in the past few days, and the salt has been in a state of deficiency, if it weren't for the shells and screw gravy that he eats, there will be some salt, I'm afraid some symptoms will appear, such as dizziness and nausea, which is too dangerous for survival in the wild.

But you can't always rely on the salt in the river fresh, this content is too low.

How can I get salt?

Ma Qiang began to flip through what he had learned in his mind.

In fact, the salt used to refer to sodium chloride is used in ordinary times, but in fact, chemically, salt is not only sodium chloride, but also metalloids or compounds that combine ammonium ions with acid ions can be said to be salts.

It's so hard to find sodium salts, so now you have to make up a few of them with other salts.

Ma Qiang looked at the ashes of the grass and trees that had been burned to ashes, and thought darkly.

Yes, there is salt in the ashes.

The salt in the ash of plants and trees is called potassium salt, and in later generations, potassium salt existed as an industrial product, 95% of potash products were used as fertilizer, and 5% were used in other industries.

Do it when you think of it, make it early, and you can eat salty food in the evening.

Sure enough, foodies are the primary productive force!

The production of potash is very simple, add water to the plant ash, stir and filter it, and then burn it dry.

Ma Qiang first drank the boiled water that had been cold in the big pottery bowl, then went to pick up some wood and came back, and began to prepare to make salt.

It can be said that the grass and wood ash is the least lacking now, Ma Qiang thought about it, took off his clothes, and washed them by the river for a while, his clothes were the only thing he could use to filter.

Then, Ma Qiang put the clothes on a large pottery bowl to act as a filter, then took the bowl with water and stirred the plant ash for a while, and poured the plant ash on the clothes after the water melted in order to filter out unwanted impurities.

In this way, after a while, the water in the large pottery bowl was full, and the yellow-black water looked a little dirty, but now there are only such conditions.

Start boiling water and do laundry by the way!

Ma Qiang was washing his clothes when he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.

Ma Qiang instantly turned around and picked up the pistol placed on the side, carefully looking at the direction from which the voice came.

"Is it human?" Ma Qiang shouted with the hope of what happened, he hoped that someone came, whether it was a good person or a bad person, it would be a good thing for him now.

I don't know if it's because of Ma Qiang's shouting or what, the rustling stopped.

"I'm not a bad person, I'm just lost, are you human?" After Ma Qiang shouted this sentence, he felt like a nervous disorder, are you still human.

A dark shadow emerged from the woods, its smart and curious eyes, tridents and grass-yellow fur, which made Ma Qiang immediately recognize what the creature in front of him was.

.... It's a roe deer!

There is a saying in the Northeast that the world knows, it is called beating the roe deer with a stick, scooping the fish, and the pheasant flying into the rice pot. is talking about the wealth of the Northeast, to put it bluntly, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty has long blocked the so-called Longxing land in the Northeast, and the Han people are not allowed to go to the Northeast to make a living, which makes the wild animals in the Northeast breed in large numbers, but the reason why they do not fight others, only roe deer, is because of the stupidity of this roe deer.

The roe deer is a kind of deer, and the biggest feature is that it has a short and white tail, which will explode as long as it is frightened, but as long as he finds that there is no danger, he will curiously walk back to the place where he just found the danger, and want to confirm whether it is safe.

This brain circuit.... Ma Qiang can only say that he is very strong.

The roe deer in front of him looked at Ma Qiang curiously, it didn't seem to have seen a hairless two-legged beast like Ma Qiang, it tentatively took two steps forward, saw that Ma Qiang had no intention of attacking him, and then turned around and barked a few times.

This is the first time Ma Qiang has heard a roe deer call... It's really silly in the screams.

The roe deer took a few more steps, and then one roe deer came out one after another, and this is still a big family.

I saw these five or six roe deer go to the river and start drinking water, which turned out to be their place of water.

Water is indeed the source of life.

Wait, can you eat meat?

Ma Qiang looked at these roe deer, and then wondered if he wanted to improve the food, and suddenly, there was another rustling sound, and he saw a huge black shadow turn out.

Ma Qiang looked at this black shadow and was so frightened that the pistol immediately turned over.

This is actually a huge boar.

In later generations, the pig was a domestic animal, a food, a synonym for saying that people are stupid, and they were Caucasians. Ahem.

But in this era, pigs are not only food, but also danger, because there are so many wild boars in this era.

Wild boars are omnivores, the weight can easily reach two hundred kilograms, the largest can even reach five hundred kilograms, and the Siberian tiger is difficult to exceed three hundred kilograms, in the primitive world, weight represents combat power, wild boars also have huge tusks, rush up, bow their heads, fangs prick and pry, basically ordinary animals can be declared finished.

Now the big wild boar in front of Ma Qiang, Ma Qiang weighs at least 400 kilograms, the length of the light body is more than three meters, the black fur is shiny, and the brown fangs are like two daggers, Ma Qiang swallowed his saliva, and the pistol in his hand was held tighter.

It is indeed good to hit people with a pistol, but for a wild boar with thick subcutaneous fat, Ma Qiang is not confident that a single shot will incapacitate the wild boar.

The wild boar looked at Ma Qiang vigilantly, and the roe deer looked at both sides stupidly, and continued to gulp water.

Ma Qiang believes that not to mention a wild boar, even a tiger, this roe deer will probably continue to drink water.

The wild boar saw that Ma Qiang did not move, turned around and snorted a few times, a few little pigs came out, and the big wild boar took these little pigs and began to drink water, and now Ma Qiang is sure that the place where he is is indeed the water point of these animals on weekdays.

Let's hope only these herbivores will get water here.

Although the river is long, in fact, most of the river sections are lined with steep mountain walls, and there are few gentle sections, which is also the law of natural river channels, so a gentle section of the river will inevitably become a water point for the surrounding animals.

And the water point is often also the killing point, and those carnivores are not stupid, knowing that there is a lot of food in such a place, and some will wait in such a place.

Ma Qiang felt that he had found a feng shui treasure before.

Now it seems that the feng shui treasure is right, but whether it is his or those jackals, tigers and leopards may not be known.

The fire was still burning, and the wild boar family and the roe deer family also looked at the smoking fire with curiosity. They have never seen fire yet.

In nature, fire is both rare and common, said scarce because there is generally no natural fire except in volcanic areas, said common because such as lightning strikes wood or there is dew just to form a convex mirror caused by mountain fires can be hundreds of times a year, but lightning strikes wood at the same time there is generally rain, the probability of dew is simply small can not be smaller, so most animals have not seen fire in the primitive environment.

Of course, once there is a wildfire, it is a monstrous disaster, as long as the animals who have experienced it tend to pass on that disaster to the next generation, so that they remember to stay away from the fire.

But a fire like the one in front of us, which burns and does not spread, is beyond the scope of an animal's thinking.

Ma Qiang saw that the roe deer at the beginning suddenly ran towards the fire, tentatively got closer, and finally stretched out his tongue and tried to lick the flames.

"Boom!" I saw that the roe deer jumped up violently, and then rushed into the river with a wild scream, and the roe deer and wild boars around him, including Ma Qiang, were stupid.

… Silly robe, worthy of the name!

But after this attempt, the wild boar and the roe deer also knew that this thing was indeed the legendary fire, and when the stupid roe deer relieved the pain of his tongue with cold water again, the two families also drank the water, Ma Qiang watched these wild boars and roe deer rubbing each other affectionately, and couldn't help but think of the family in another world.

After a while, probably after drinking enough water, the wild boar family and the roe deer family left, and Ma Qiang returned to his small stove to see the boiling water, which was half boiled dry.

"The water in this place is gentle, I'm afraid many animals like to drink water here, so think about it, those tigers, leopards and jackals should also like this... The treehouse is going to be done quickly, it's okay during the day, but once it's night, I don't know how to die. Ma Qiang looked at the big tree he slept on yesterday and pondered.

Tree houses are not easy to do, in the places where Ma Qiang can see, there are basically mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, and the types of trees are mainly birch and fir trees, and some pine trees are hybrid.

These trees all have a characteristic, that is, they are tall, and without human interference, these trees are really leafy, and without metal tools, it is basically impossible to make a tree house.

Yes, basic.
