Chapter 4: Hunting and Fire

I don't know the sun and moon in the mountains, it's late autumn outside, the weather has turned cool, and the cave is still warm. Half a year has passed, and the two dolls have learned to walk again, and it can be said that this wild child is faster and stronger than the greenhouse. A one-year-old child was still held by his grandparents and spoiled in his previous life, and in this barren mountains and mountains, most of the people who want to hold you have bad intentions, either to eat you or to eat you. At home, it is the heart meat of grandparents, and here it can only be the meat of the mouth of a beast.

Han Bing and Shi Zhan ate raw meat for two months, the teeth grew quickly, and four big teeth also grew, and it was not so difficult to eat meat, and the human stomach and intestines slowly adapted to the digestion and absorption of raw meat. After all, these two people still have the brain thinking and memory of adults, in this period of life, from screaming to babbling, and then supplemented by body language, they have been able to communicate with their mother simply, and they can basically judge the meaning of their mother's screams. The two of them also followed the wolf howl, their voices were immature, but they were also decent, "Ma Ou! "It's always like a cat meowing, but my mother can understand it. Man's ability to imitate is always greater than that of beasts, and the key is that man has learned to think, though God can laugh. The two of them also began to communicate in words, and finally felt less aggrieved.

Since the previous month, my mother would bring back injured rabbits, lambs, marmots, weasels, and other living creatures from time to time, in order to train them to learn how to hunt. Even if it is a wounded rabbit, with the physical condition of the two of them, they have the intention to kill the enemy and are powerless to return to the sky. But since it's a human being, there are naturally human methods, otherwise why use a long brain?

First, the division and the company walked to the ground to find a few dead branches outside the cave, and used stone cracks to break off the branches, leaving a long fork shape. With their first weapon, the two dolls began their daily training, and the movement was very simple, which was to thrust. Because the strength of the arms is not strong enough, the waist strength will not be used, let alone the strength of the legs, and the standing will not be stable, what about playing?!

After a period of practice, you can already instill the strength of your whole body into your arms, and then use the force of the wooden fork to stab at the small animals that you have caught. It's just that if you don't add the weight of the body, you basically can't pierce the skin of the animal, and what's more, the rabbit that is stabbed in a hurry will rush towards the assassin, knock the opponent down, and then jump on the human face to escape.

What a shame! In order to recover the lost dignity, Shi Zhan practiced desperately every day, and the little child actually practiced a cocoon in his hands! Han Bing doesn't care too much, looking at the small body of the brothers, they are less than a year old, don't toss too hard, they won't grow in the future, and he thinks that he should use his brains more to do things, and he is longer than a dick with a donkey, isn't this stupid?

So he often thinks about how to catch his prey alive or find a way to keep the rabbit on the plant. Weave a straw rope out of straw, make a set, and wait for the prey to take the bait. Or the two brothers cooperated, one in front of the block, the other in the back, trying to let the prey run into the small pit set by themselves, and two people planted spikes in the small pit. Unfortunately, it often backfires, even if the rabbit steps on the trap, he does not have so much strength to pull the rabbit back, often his straw rope trap is taken away by the rabbit, and then stares at the red eyes and looks at him bravely. The trap was almost unsuccessful, and their footsteps could not keep up with the animals, and even if they were injured, the rabbits always nimbly slipped under their crotches. Ma is good to be ridden, people are small and bullied by rabbits, failure, too much failure! If you want to fight back, you must first increase your strength as soon as possible, since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and there is nothing that cannot be done. Make up your mind, overcome all difficulties, and start practicing! Damn, wait for Lao Tzu to catch you and roast you!

If you want to eat barbecue, you have to have a fire, and then the two of them look for suitable stones around the cave to start a fire. Drilling wood for fire is really not suitable for them now, the hands are still too tender, and they don't have such long strength, playing with forks and cocoons is grinding out for a long time, and rubbing wooden sticks has to have speed. After looking for a long time, there is nothing too suitable for flint, and the two pieces can produce sparks, but the sparks are too rare and not big, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to start a fire.

Collected the fluff on my mother's body, and the fluff flowers on the reeds outside, especially the fluff of the reeds, are definitely good materials for ignition. All are complete, the two dolls found a leeward place in the depths of the hole, dug a small pit with their hands, put the velvet flowers and fine wolf hair in the pit, and prepared the fine firewood branches and thick branches around the fire.

Pouting their butts, the two dolls kept trying to knock on the stones to draw out the sparks, but unfortunately the sparks were always too small, and no matter how hard they tried, they were in vain. Lying on the ground tired, Han Bing suddenly remembered that Old Man Xiao had mentioned that it was best to have horseshoe fungus when making a fire in the wild, and at that time, he smoked and there was never a shortage of lighters in his pocket, so he didn't think about making fire. But the master said that the horseshoe mushroom, which is very similar to Ganoderma lucidum, is the best ignition for ignition, and it seems that it can also preserve the fire. I didn't try it at the time, but now it seems that I should go into the woods and look for horseshoe mushrooms. In addition, you still have to use ore to make flint, and it is still too difficult to pick up stones casually. Say do it, get up immediately, pull Shi Zhan out of the cave and go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, horseshoe mushrooms are also called wood hoof Ganoderma lucidum, which belongs to a kind of mushroom, and the roots of trees with humus soil are generally easy to grow this thing.

This mountain is really full of treasures, and it is useless to go far, and I found a horseshoe fungus at the root of a tree, which is the size of an adult's palm. I quickly picked it off, walked around again, and found two more, which was enough. It's hopeless to find stones, the ground is full of humus, it's a relic of falling dead wood and rotten leaves, flower keepers will like it very much, now the two of them can't even support themselves, or don't engage in those petty bourgeoisie.

When I returned to the cave and washed my feet in the stream, I found that there were many large and small stones in the stream, some of which were colorful, and this was the ore! It's really dark under the lights. Picked up a few pieces of red, green, milky white stones, shook the water, and was very dry at the entrance of the cave, took two pieces and knocked them together, "pop", and a string of cremation immediately burst out, "It's done!" It's done! The two adult dolls cheered.

Smash the horseshoe fungus with a stone, take out the fungus velvet inside, carefully put it in a small pit, and then knock the flint, and after a few clicks, a little spark appears on the velvet, and the green smoke rises. Quickly blow two mouthfuls of fairy gas, let the fire become stronger, and then add strong combustibles such as straw stalks and thin wooden sticks, and soon the fire was born, and the two of them added more fine firewood, and when the fire really started, the surrounding firewood was put on the shelf little by little, and a fire suddenly took shape.

The two of them gathered around the fire with smiles on their faces, feeling the warmth of the long-lost fire, with which they could eat cooked food such as barbecue and cook many items. This is the first major event that I have done in this world, and it is worth commemorating, and in the future, I will choose a day in autumn as a torch festival.

But this thing must be settled in the mother, animals are afraid of fire, and when the mother comes back, she must do a good job of explaining and appeasing her. Fortunately, the fire was piled up in the hole, and it was still two meters away from the platform where he slept and lived. With a fire, the natural next step is to erect shelves on both sides. He took two branches of a tree with a squirrel, knocked them into the soil with a stone, and found a stick, and smashed the ground with a stone blade at one end to make it into a sharp shape, which was used to pierce the prey. Everything is ready, just wait for my mother to come back.

This time, my mother brought back not a living creature, but venison legs. When he walked to the entrance of the cave, he was startled by the firelight and ran out. Shi Zhan and Han Bing hurriedly called their mother back with a shout, and the mother who hid to the side After a while, they saw the two sons standing at the entrance of the cave and kept "Mom! Oh O! He called her back, and then walked cautiously back to the entrance of the cave, still not daring to go in.

Shi Zhan hugged his mother's neck and whispered in his ear to comfort, telling her that this was the fire made by his brothers, don't be afraid, there is no danger to her, Han Bing led the way in front, Shi Zhan hugged her mother, which made her tremble and enter the hole. When they reached the edge of the platform, the old mother said that she would not go any further, dropped the venison, and lay down under the platform, hiding from the firelight, nervous.

The two of them looked at each other, knowing that this matter was in a hurry and needed to adapt slowly. Pick up the venison, skewer it with sticks, and roast it on the fire. Soon the aroma of barbecue spread everywhere, and my mother couldn't help but raise her head, use her nose to find the source of the fragrance, and when she found that it came from the direction of the fire, she immediately lowered her head and lay on the ground to pretend to sleep.

The venison is roasted quickly, and it is not possible to roast it thoroughly at one time in this way, so it is normal to slice it while roasting, and eat part of it when cooked. These two brothers don't have knives, and the stone knives are not sharp enough, and they are better than nothing. Cut open the roasted venison with a stone knife and tear off a piece with your hand and put it in your mouth. Laughing at each other, this satisfaction is indescribable. Shi Zhan tore off a piece and sent it to his mother, the first time my mother ate barbecue, it was still a very peculiar feeling, it didn't taste as hard as raw meat, and the taste was more delicious than raw meat. I gave my mother a few more pieces of barbecue, and then my mother said that she would not eat it and would go to bed and rest.

A piece of venison was quickly roasted and eaten by the two of them, and the rest was smoked by the fire, and the bacon could be kept for a long time. The first time I ate cooked food in this life was barbecue, and it was unforgettable. The next step is to make some containers and boil water. Always drink raw water sooner or later get sick, for the two dolls now, it is too early to burn the kiln to make pottery, want to drink boiling water, there is only one way, hot stones thrown into the puddle, no matter how unhygienic it is better than raw water. However, it is still feasible to make a few mud bowls and mud pots, at least to hold things.

With fire, the prey is sacrificed, and in order to catch the prey as soon as possible, these two are also fighting. As a result, two villains can often be seen in the cave each holding a small wooden fork, accompanied by a voice of "Ha! Ha! "Practice assassination there. After the practice, you have to practice handstand and horse steps, exercise the strength of your arms and waist and legs, and in the future, you will be a general to command thousands of troops. Later, when the body grew up, push-ups and sit-ups were added.

As time passed, the strength of the two increased with age. In order to capture prey with less effort, the net must be made. To make a net, you must first have hemp rope. The raw material of hemp rope in the Northeast is mainly green hemp, and this thing will generally grow by the river. If you want to cut hemp, you must first have a knife, and the knife material is naturally the stone first.

There are a lot of rocks here, and there are a lot of granite and shale rocks on the mountains around here. Shi Zhan picked up two not too big stones outside the cave, lifted them up and smashed them against each other, and picked out a few stone chips with sharp edges in the fragments, which was the first knife. So the two of them had nothing to do but ran to the river, using stone knives to cut green hemp, there are many things by the river, no one cares about how many years, wild growth, very lush, the ground has been dried up many years ago has a thick layer.

Pick a little bit each time, and you can't take it more. No way, who makes themselves less than the height of the hemp pole. The harvested ones should be soaked in river water, and this thing needs to be soaked for a month or two before it can be used. For this reason, the brothers worked hard to expand a small puddle by the river, which was specially used to soak hemp.

There are fish in the small river, probably swimming from the big river in the distance, but the brothers don't have the ability to go into the water to fish now, and they envy the fish in the river, this is the rhythm of the brothers to death!
