Volume 1 The First Arrival of the Primordial Chapter 32 Fish, Snails, and Bamboo Shoots
Ignoring the lesson, Ding Qi picked up the pheasant and threw it into the bamboo basket behind him, crossed the gentle slope behind the grass, and rushed home. Inseparable from him is the little cutie who is moving faster and faster, and its light and silent steps.

There was a thunderclap, and a bolt of lightning broke the dullness of the sky, splitting the thick dark clouds, and the cold light spread to the world, illuminating all things on the earth, and also illuminating the rushing showers behind the clouds, roaring towards the earth.
Wow!
As soon as Ding Qi entered the house with his front feet, the heavy rain on his back feet poured down like a flood that opened the floodgates, and the water mist that swept up rushed to Ding Qi, who was turning to look out of the door, and was misty under the fleeting lightning.
Before the rain fell, Tinch took the animal skins and other items that had been dried outside the house into the hut and stored them, and led the two sheep out of the uncovered sheepfold and tied them under the hut to prevent them from being damaged by the rain.
Outside the house, the rain is pouring down, the cold light is flashing, and the inside of the house is warm and warm. Ding Qi hugged the shivering cutie shirtless, stirring the hodgepodge in the hanging pot from time to time. Eating barbecue all day long, he felt that he was about to become barbecue, and there were a lot of bumps on his face. The bonfire in the room shone brightly, reflecting Ding Qi's resolute face, the original immature face is now gradually becoming rough, and the eyes looking at the stormy world outside the house are mature and determined.
Outside, the sound of rain and thunder was loud, and the wind blew the rain on the wooden roof and walls, shaking off some dust from time to time. Ding Qi, who felt the primordial wind and rain for the first time, was full of peace in his heart, no matter how violent he was outside, he always sat upright as before, tasting the hodgepodge he made, which was extremely comfortable.
It was also the first time that the cutie who had experienced such a storm scene gradually settled down, lying on the ground and nibbling on the pheasant meat that Ding Qi had chopped with an axe. This is Ding Qi's reward for it, and it chews slowly like Ding Qi eating. It was the first time it ate blood food, and it wanted to eat more, but Ding Qi told it not to eat more, but only to slowly increase the proportion of meat to avoid eating bad food.
After the meal, the rain did not tend to get lighter. With the occasional flash of lightning across the sky, Ding Qi looked at the water pool under the hillside, and perhaps all the surrounding rainwater gathered in this meadow and then merged into the great swampy area.
"Alas, it seems that the fish cage is white, and I don't know if I can save it after this rain, including those traps that have been set, I haven't bothered to see it for the past two days, so there should be nothing."
Ding Qi muttered to himself, and began to pack up some of the things in his original backpack, and put the tools he had recently made into the backpack as well. The existential principle mentions not putting yourself in dangerous situations and not underestimating the power of the environment. Therefore, what Ding Qi is doing now is to prevent that if the rain does not abate, then there is a high probability that a flash flood or mudslide will form.
Ding Qi didn't want to be wiped out by the secondary damage caused by a heavy rain because of his negligence.
The glow of the campfire famed, and Tinch sat against the wooden wall next to him and fell asleep, feeling the power of the rain lapping on it.
In the second half of the night, after a huge thunderclap, the wind and rain stopped, and the whole world returned to calm. Ding Qi, who was always vigilant outside, got up, returned to bed with his little cutie in his arms, and fell asleep.
The next day, Ding Qi, who was sleeping lazy, was woken up by the sound of sheep, and he was lying peacefully in bed listening to all kinds of birdsong outside, and his heart was full of happiness. The long-lost sunlight shone through the holes in the roof and the cracks in the wooden walls, which made Tinki even more happy.
After getting up and washing up quickly, Ding Qi took out his sleeping bag, backpack, clothes, shoes and hats, fur and other items out of the house for exposure, and even put himself and his little cutie in the sun to feel the warmth from the sun.
Prolonged gloomy weather can affect a person's mood, and in severe cases, depression, insomnia, and health will be affected. Therefore, moderate sun exposure will not only increase personal self-confidence, enhance positive energy, and make people physically and mentally healthy.
Ding Qi didn't want to do anything, just sat there, looking at the blue sky and the sun-drenched earth and natural scenery, and kept talking to the little cutie, telling his original story, whether he understood it or not. In the meadow at the bottom of the hillside, all kinds of animals also appear to enjoy this rare sunbath.
After lunch, the sun returned to the thick smoke. Ding Qi took some pheasant entrails, took a wooden spear and a mountain knife to the river bay below, looking for the fish cage that had been put down before. As a result, I searched and searched for only one, and the other fish cage could not be found, and only a stake with a broken rope and a rope was found in its place.
However, the fish cage he found did not disappoint him, and there was a fish a foot long hidden in it, which looked more like a carp, and had two pairs of whiskers, but the body was slender and there were some small teeth in the mouth.
After throwing the fish into the back basket, put some guts in the fish cage before throwing it into the water to continue to trap the fish.
Tinch continued along the river to see if there were any other gains. It rained overnight, and the water level of the river rose sharply, and the flow rate increased, making it much more turbid than before. From time to time, you can see the carcasses of some small animals floating and sinking in the river, going down the river, and even the carcass of a wild boar being washed out by the river.
But more often than not, there are many waterfowl on both sides of the river frolicking and looking for food, and if it weren't for the fact that they were far away or in the water, Ding Qi wanted to use the slingshot on his body to hit two to improve his taste.
Ding Qi, who had walked a few hundred meters, saw a flock of five or six duck-like waterfowl circling around a tree by the water's edge, and from time to time a waterfowl rushed up and pecked something from the tree with his beak, and then turned around and quickly moved his mouth, and after shaking it twice in the water, he ate the object inside into his mouth, and he was very excited.
Ding Qi stepped forward, and the approaching figure frightened the flock of waterfowl away from the tree. When I got closer, I saw that there were some mollusks that looked like snails on the tree, densely crawling all over the trunk, the size of a ping-pong ball. No wonder the waterfowl like to eat it, such snails are often the star dishes in the night market food stalls in modern society, and they are delicious.
Since the duck-like waterfowl eat happily, they must be non-poisonous and can be eaten. However, this kind of thing is beautiful, but it must be fully heated before it can be eaten safely to avoid parasites. Tinch, however, was not worried, because he had an easy way to kill the parasites and taste this delicacy with confidence.
After stepping on knee-deep water and catching more than two dozen of them, Ding Qi did not attack other snails, and tried to do as little as possible to catch fish and kill them all, because it has long been common for human greed to cause the extinction of many species.
After putting the snails in the basket and bringing them back to the camp, Ding Qi took the weapon and carried the bamboo basket on his back, and took the little cutie after napping to the traps in the jungle to restore the traps that had lost their effect one by one. I've been busy with other things for the last few days and haven't had time to check the status of the trap.
Later, Ding Qi made a circle to the bamboo forest, where he wanted to collect a delicacy, a delicacy that only appears in abundance after the rain - bamboo shoots.
After the ravages of the storm, the bamboo forest is far from being as vibrant as usual, and even the traces of the destruction of the giant lizard before have long been gone. The small bamboo branches are a little messy, but the tall backbone of the other thick bamboos still has a bit of pride. The grass under the bamboo lay on the ground, showing the seductive figure of the bamboo shoot in front of Ding Qi.
You don't need to go particularly deep, there are a lot of bamboo shoots breaking through the soil at the edge of the bamboo forest alone, the feet are high, the fist is thick, and it looks particularly full and thick. The elated Ding Qi used the mountain knife to pick more than 30 in one go, and it was not enough to fill the back basket, so he took two more in his last hand before returning home.
