Volume 1 First Advent Primal Chapter 48 Autumn is coming
At night, the rain clears the sky, and the heavy rain disperses the heavy smoke that obscures the sun and stars in the sky, revealing the long-lost starlight. Ding Qi lay on the bed, looking at the starry sky through the hole washed out by the rain above his head, and his heart was calm.
It's been a long time since I've seen the stars so freely, especially with the entire galaxy unfolding in front of me, and with the light of this rainstorm, Tinch was able to look at the stars on the bed in the house, which was really a very leisurely thing. Except that you can't see the moon.
And at this moment, the moon hangs in the western sky, like a hook. If Ding Qi still wanted to lie on the bed and watch the moon, then he could only dig a hole in the wall to appreciate the beauty of the boundless night.
Although the moon is like a hook, the lovesickness is thick, so thick that it can't be dissolved.
The next day, the sun was shining, and all kinds of animals got up early to enjoy this rare sunny day, expressing the depression caused by not shining on the sun for a long time. Whether it is a human, an animal or a plant, they all need the energy of the sun. Therefore, from Ding Qi to the three-headed pet to the domesticated animals, all of them are basking in the sun, absorbing the essence of the sun and transforming it into the energy of the body, and it is almost like inhaling the essence of the sun and the moon to meditate and breathe.
Well, Ding Qi thought too much again.
As the temperature rises, the whole world is like being in a big steamer, and it is extremely uncomfortable. Ding Qi had no choice but to take off his clothes and lie in the shade of a tree with only a pair of pants on.
The temperature rises quickly, and the dirt dries out quickly. In the afternoon, when it was already possible to get off in the mud outside, Ding Qi greeted the little cutie, carried a bamboo basket on his back, and went into the bamboo forest to pick bamboo shoots with a mountain knife.
A heavy rain, the bamboo in the bamboo forest staggered, and there were countless messes. Ding Qi cautiously stepped down, his eyes kept scanning, looking for the tender and delicious bamboo shoots. There are not many bamboo shoots in summer, and they are not as delicious as spring bamboo shoots, but for Ding Qi, who lacks vegetables and vitamin supplements, these bamboo shoots can play a very big role. Collect more, blanch it with water, dry it and store it, and then stew or stir-fry it with meat in the winter, which is definitely the most delicious food in the world.
Although the amount of bamboo shoots in summer is not large, the yield of such a large bamboo forest should not be underestimated, and Ding Qi walked back and forth five times before carrying back the bamboo shoots in his photo. But just as he changed the direction and went back to see if there would be anything else to be found on the way, a bamboo not far away kept shaking, and there was some clattering sound.
Both Tinch and Cutie are startled, thinking that there is some wild thing hiding there. He hurriedly pulled out his mountain knife and walked slowly towards the sound, so as not to frighten the other party and bring unnecessary trouble to himself. In case it is a wild boar, in such a narrow environment, it is not an advantage.
When I got closer, there was nothing around the bamboo, no wild boar, and if I looked around, there was no sign of any other animal. Just as Ding Qi was about to turn around and go back in confusion, the bamboo moved again and sank downward. The little cutie next to him was very curious about this, and quietly stepped forward to see what it was, whether it could be a mouse that the lynx often hunts.
Ding Qi didn't move, and after seeing the movement of the bamboo, he knew what animal was moving.
Bamboo rats.
It's the bamboo rat that eats the bamboo roots and bamboos underneath that bamboo. He had never seen bamboo rats eat bamboo with his own eyes, but he had only seen artificially fed bamboo rats on TV. He looks silly and cute, but the meat on his body is very delicious, which is what people on TV say.
Thinking of eating, Ding Qi hurriedly took action, the bacon he had been eating for the past few days was so bad that he was about to vomit. Carefully looking for the direction of the bamboo rat's hole, Ding Qi stepped down to block the direction it was going, and cut off the back road of the bamboo rat about a distance, and he took a mountain knife to cut a thin bamboo around the bamboo just now, to find the location of the bamboo rat.
Soon, Tinch was pierced into a pile of meat, and the pile of meat suddenly struggled and ran away when it was pierced. Dantinch knew that it would not be able to run far, so he stabbed forward twice more quickly, and finally stabbed the bamboo rat again. Due to the greater strength, it directly pierced the body of the bamboo rat.
Gurgle, cluck, cluck
Whew, whew
The bamboo rat made a loud noise and violently resisted, and in the dirt hole, it kept turning the dirt and revealing a little of its body.
Ding Qi exerted his strength again, inserted the thin bamboo into the soil to prevent the bamboo rat from running, and then used the mountain opener to pull the surrounding soil apart, exposing the entire bamboo rat. I saw that the bamboo was stuck in the outer part of its abdomen, and its limbs were still stirring the dirt, and at the same time making a different sound from the one just now.
"Wow, wow, wow"
And its appearance is very vicious, far worse than such a cute guy on TV. The body is more than half a meter long, the body is thick and round, and there are six thick incisors, two on the top and four on the bottom, and the outermost two of the four incisors look a bit like the fangs of a wild boar, slightly curved outward. I don't know if it's because of the injury, the two eyes are red, and they look crazy. With thick limbs and sharp claws, it is very suitable for digging holes in the soil.
Seeing that it was still struggling, Ding Qi directly knocked it to death with the back of the knife, and lifted it from the ground, about a dozen pounds, enough for himself and the little cutie to eat a full meal.
He threw it into the basket and dragged two fist-thick bamboos back to his lodgings.
Ding Qi shamelessly let the little cutie eat some bamboo rat meat first to test the poison. The main thing is that this bamboo rat looks strange, but don't blame Ding Qi for doing this, his own life is more important than anyone else.
There was no need to wait, Ding Qi quickly washed and peeled the bamboo rat and cut it into pieces and put it in a clay pot, and the clay pot was brought to the stove made before, poured in water and began to simmer. This stove is very convenient to use, saving a lot of firewood.
Then use the hanging pot to process a piece of bamboo shoots cut into slices, put it in a clay pot that has been boiled, and then add some mushrooms, fungus, calamus, and after a while, the thick smell of meat fills the whole wooden house.
The cutie didn't die of poison, just stared at the clay pot and drooled, and Ding Qi was ready to let it eat two more pieces of meat to compensate. And the two little wolves also stared at each other, wondering what was so fragrant, more fragrant than milk.
Ding Qi almost swallowed his tongue after eating a meal, and the little cutie was lying on the wolf skin cushion with a bulging belly and humming, and the two little wolves also drank the broth and returned to sleep in the nest under the wooden shed.
Life is so beautiful that it is endlessly memorable.
The little ones went to rest, but Ding Qi couldn't sleep, and began to pack up the bamboo shoots he had picked up, picking leaves, slicing them, blanching them, draining them, and drying them, and he was very busy.
The next day, Ding Qi was still busy with his feet on the ground, repairing the roof and courtyard walls, and weaving new bamboo utensils for drying bamboo shoots. He also made a manure spoon out of a thick bamboo, hollowed out the already full thatched pit, and poured all the manure into the dandelion field. After Ding Qi's non-stop breeding, this dandelion field is almost half a plot.
The rainstorm brought sun, stars, and fine weather, but it also brought a hint of coolness. Although it is quite hot at noon, it has begun to cool in the morning and evening, and the weather forecast term is to express that the temperature difference between morning and evening is increasing, and the coolness hits people, so you need to pay attention to adding clothes.
This is a sign that autumn is coming, and the footsteps of autumn are approaching.
Autumn is the harvest season, all kinds of animals have to store food and fatten, and Ding Qi also has to prepare to store all kinds of meat and fruits, as well as forage to feed the animals, only in this way can you survive the winter that I don't know what it looks like.
The winter of primitive society is not so easy to pass.
