Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 104 Black Snow
Time rewind two seconds, seeing that the big bear's fleshy palm was about to shoot down, Ben was ruthless in the situation of no avoidance, pulled out the straight knife that Ding Qi gave him before, the tip of the knife pointed upward, and stabbed the big bear in the chest, thinking that even death could not make it better. But suddenly, he saw the bear's eyes widen suddenly, and then the left leg that supported it softened, and his whole body pressed down.
Ben Xin said it was a good time!
The blade of the stab seemed to be a little faster, piercing into the bloody place, and after two clicks, a stream of blood spurted out with a pop, twice as fast as the bear fell, and sprinkled all over his face. Immediately followed by Roshan and smashed down, Ben only had time to twist his body, his eyes were black, and he didn't know anything.
In the lengthened and cleaned shack, the sound of beeping firewood burning sounded from time to time, and from time to time sparks floated from the three bonfires, flying into the air through the gap at the top of the shack more than 20 centimeters wide, and soon they were blown away by the strong wind.
The cold wind was howling outside, but it was as warm as spring in the shack, and Cang led two people to take Ding Qi's straight knife at the mouth of the shack to skillfully peel off the bear skin while the bear corpse was not yet frozen. As a former warrior and excellent hunter of the tribe, with the help of that sharp straight knife, skinning is no problem for him. Kura couldn't put this knife down, the bright blade, the sharp blade, and the wonderful sound when it cut through the bear's skin let Kura know that this was definitely a good thing. Ding Qi told him that if he worked hard in the future, he would also use this kind of knife. Others were talking and laughing at the grilled fish and meat, and greedily enjoying the warmth of the shack.
And next to the campfire in the middle, Ben, who was almost crushed to death by the big bear, was lying there, his slightly undulating body proving that he was asleep. His right hand and entire wrist were held in place by several thin twigs and knotted. Ben, who twisted his body, was lucky to be only crushed by his lower body and right arm when the bear fell, and only broke his wrist, which was a blessing in misfortune.
It's just that Ding Qi couldn't laugh at this moment, looking at the two one-foot-long puppy little guys in his arms, his brows were furrowed, and he hesitated what to do.
When the two cubs were found while cleaning the shack, Ding Qi called it a fluke. The bear they killed by coincidence turned out to be a mother bear that had just given birth not long after hibernation, when it was at its weakest. If it were a normal adult female bear or an adult male bear, at least Ding Qi and Ben would have been left here today to be food for its hibernation.
No wonder there was blood on its anus, which was just after giving birth. The weakened body, coupled with the several fatal arrow wounds given to it by Ding Qi and the others, the loss of blood and physical strength, and the heavy blow that pierced the heart of the big bear at the end, really solved this primitive bear weighing more than 1,000 catties.
They witnessed the birth of the two bear-killing heroes, and their worship and loyalty to Ding Qi reached a new height, once again identifying Ding Qi as a god-man, and only a god-man could kill this jungle overlord.
Therefore, afterwards, after Ding Qi accepted their kneeling, he arranged for more than a dozen people not to lift the big bear, and finally moved to the mouth of the shack under the pull of Xiao Erhei. Ben, who was unconscious, was also carried to the center of the packed shack by everyone, and was reinforced under Ding Qi's emergency treatment to prevent the damage of the fracture from increasing.
Next to Ding Qi, the little cutie and Xiao Jin snuggled together, looking a little depressed, and seemed to be a little depressed because they couldn't help Ding Qi, especially the little cutie, who was still worried about not cutting each other's fur.
Outside the shack, Xiao Erhei and Gray Horse hide in a makeshift windbreak wall with a roof on top. They were wearing two hides, and they were looking down to nibble on the hay that Tinckey had prepared for them.
Ding Qi is not a ruthless person, as can be seen from the fact that he can take in so many beast cubs. Therefore, he is going to keep these two bears as well. It's just that he's been having a headache about how to feed these two little guys, and it's obvious that they're only about a week in size, and they definitely need the mother's breast milk to survive. But Ding Qi is not in the tribe, and there are no ewes that can only produce milk, so the two bear cubs who have just left their mother are actually the most dangerous time, and if they can survive these two days, then they can both live.
Fish soup was being stewed in a clay pot in front of him, and Ding Qi was going to try it out to see if he could feed them.
Alas! It seems that I am the life of a daddy!
The three of them had already disposed of the bear, and the bear skin was preliminarily treated with grass and wood ash and rolled up and thrown aside. As for the meat, he took the axe from Ding Qi, cut it into dozens of pieces after chopping, and stored the bear's paws, bear's heart, and bear's bile.
Everyone else snuggled up to each other and fell asleep, and the clay pot of fish soup in front of Ding Qi was almost dry, and the thick fish soup was like milk. After pouring half a bottle of fish soup into the mineral water bottle he was carrying, he approached the mouth of one of the screaming bears and slowly fed the fish soup.
Gooo
Watching the little bear gobble up, Ding Qi smiled.
Effective!
After a while, the bear drank up half a bottle of fish soup. One bottle came out again, and half of the bottle was wiped out before it was full, while the other bear was not as lively as the first, as if it was listening, observing its surroundings with its own hearing. But after all, it could not resist the temptation of hunger and fish soup, and drank the remaining half bottle, and when Ding Qi filled another half bottle and fed it, he ignored Ding Qi, and fell asleep after finding a comfortable position in the crook of his arm.
Ding Qi eliminated the remaining fish and fish soup, and carried a torch to the river to scrub it in the wind, and then filled a jar of water and put a fish rack on the fire, and when he woke up, he could eat it while it was hot, the fish soup was very nourishing.
Ding Qi looked at the dark night sky, under the reflection of the firelight, he saw the snowflakes flying, especially against the background of the inky night, the snow that rolled with the wind seemed to turn into black snow, fleeting, and occasionally fell into the shack along the gap and quickly turned into tiny water droplets, and its original color could not be seen.
In a daze, Ding Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, is there black snow?
In the second half of the night, the wind became smaller and the snow became heavier and louder. The occasional snow falling from the roof of the shack also gathered more and more, piling up into a thin layer that increased in thickness as the heat of the campfire gradually decreased. In the dim light, the accumulated layers of snow shimmered and flashed, but it was impossible to distinguish whether it was white snow or black soil.
Outside the shack, two wild horses, which had been free not long ago, were lying comfortably together, feeling the warmth that they had never felt in the snow before, the warmth from animal skins. Xiao Erhei snorted from time to time, trying to blow away the snow in front of him, but suddenly his big eyes widened, as if he had discovered something incredible, and he didn't exhale for a long time.
Why is the snow different from the previous two winters? In its three-year-old cognition, the snow had already made it feel like a frightened mind, what was wrong?
In the rainy season of snow or spring and autumn, when people are in a warm bed, they are always reluctant to get up so early, and always want to be more greedy for the comfort of the bed. Especially for someone who has traveled long distances the day before, the warm environment will always give you an excuse to sleep a little longer.
This is true for animals, and it is true for Tinch.
Ding Qi, who woke up at dawn, maintained a good habit, which may be a conditioned reflex for the formation of light. The two little dogs and bears next to them arched back and forth in Ding Qi's arms, they would not change their needs because of changes in the outside world, they were hungry, of course they had to find something to eat, and before they opened their eyes, they could only use arches and chirps to express their true wishes.
Ding Qi was woken up by the two little guys, opened his eyes and looked outside, it was still pitch black, but there was still some daylight, it should still be early in the morning. The little ones were hungry, and got up and looked at the clay pots, which were empty, and should have been eaten up in the middle of the night.
Shaking his head with the clay pot, trying to make himself more sober, to no avail. Standing outside the shack and taking a deep breath, the cold air instantly woke Ding Qi up.
Hmm, cool!
Feet up, down, Tinch stood in place. He noticed something strange. The snow was still falling, but the snow in front of him was black, emitting a ghostly glow in the light of the sky. A stream of cold air rushed down Ding Qi's tail vertebrae directly to his brain, stimulating Ding Qi's whole body, a rush of urine was instantly generated, his legs trembled, and the majestic Huilong soup wanted to break through the shackles of his limbs.
Excitedly, Ding Qi braked suddenly, and his brain kept telling himself that it was an illusion.
Damn, I'm in a fantasy again!
Ding Qi didn't want to admit it, so he raised his wrist and looked at the mechanical watch, the pointer pointing to nine o'clock. Although it has been so long, there will be deviations in the machinery, but the deviation should not be large, after all, it is produced by well-known Swiss enterprises. I pinched myself hard with my hand, it hurt!
It's not an illusion!
What he saw was true, it was nine o'clock in the morning, and it was supposed to be bright, but it was blocked by a black substance in front of him.
Black snow!
Full of black snow!
From the sky to the earth, from the branches to the grass, from near to far, it was all black snow!
What's going on?
The brainless Ding Qi stood in the dark snow, thinking and recalling quickly.
This is the first time he has encountered black snow, and Ding Qi is not because he has seen black snow for the first time, but because he is thinking about why black snow is produced here.
In the 21st century, the earth has heard of black snow, and it is an extreme phenomenon caused by extreme air pollution. Ding Qi didn't expect that the natural environment and air quality would be so good in the primitive era that there would also be black snow. But the thought of the billowing smoke in the sky made Ding Qi relieved.
It was a world-destroying fire, and the smoke created obscured the sun and moon, and only by chance could they be seen again. Presumably, this planet can't stand the days without the sun all day, and wants to use the winter snow to clean up these smoke and dust, think about it, this is also a way for nature to purify itself!
Ding Qi, who had figured this out, was no longer worried, and stepped on the deep snow to come to a big tree, and poured the Huilong soup that was eager to be released on the black snow behind the tree, and the warm urine formed ravines on the snow, and the ice and snow melted, unstoppable!
The creek was frozen, not too thick, and with a foot it shattered and washed away by the water flowing below. On top of the ice, there was also a thick layer of snow, and in the distance, the whole land turned black, like a coal mine, everywhere was black.
When I came back from fetching water, I saw that there was a circle of people piled up outside the shack, and everyone knelt down on the snow, prostrating their heads incessantly, even the injured Ben and Cang. There wasn't much noise, just a constant muttering of words that even Ding Qi couldn't understand now.
They must be praying!
