Chapter 199: The Little Couple Survives in the Desert
When the morning sun spilled into the cave, Geng Xiaofan opened his eyes.
There were only embers left on the bonfire beside him, Fei'er was no longer around, Geng Xiaofan got up and walked out of the cave.
After a night of spring rain, the air in the valley looks fresh and natural, and the occasional birdsong makes the valley even quieter.
The river has returned to calm and flows gently, and Liu Feier is holding a homemade "harpoon" and watching the river.
Geng Xiaofan looked at it stupidly. He suddenly felt that at this moment, the two of them were so harmonious with this nature! If you really can't get out, it should be good to live a "fairy companion" life here with Fei'er!
"Brother Fan, we have fish to eat again today!" Liu Fei'er raised the "harpoon" and showed Geng Xiaofan her "loot".
"Phil is awesome! Come on! Geng Xiaofan came to the river and pulled Fei'er up from the river.
"Hee-hee! You go and collect some firewood, roast this first, there seems to be a pheasant in front of it, I'll try to catch one. Liu Fei'er handed the fish strap fork to Geng Xiaofan, and took out the dagger from her waist.
"Danger, don't go."
"It's fine!" Liu Fei'er didn't care and jumped away.
Geng Xiaofan shook his head helplessly, surviving in the wild, he was really not as good as Fei'er, so he had to obediently pick up branches.
The branches of the trees that had been rained all night were a little damp, and the smoke choked Geng Xiaofan so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
There was no way, he had to fill his stomach, Geng Xiaofan couldn't take care of it a lot, and began to grill fish.
As the flames burst out, the smoke slowly dissipated, and Geng Xiaofan unexpectedly found that some of the smoke was actually floating into the cave!
He understood that this cave was by no means a closed cave, there must be a huge space or exit inside!
"Ahem! Brother Fan, are you grilled fish or smoked fish! Geng Xiaofan was thinking about it, and Liu Fei'er came back, holding a few branches and rattans.
"Hey, hey! The firewood is a little wet. Geng Xiaofan was a little embarrassed.
"Brother Fan, there really is a pheasant. But we've got to make a bow first! Liu Fei'er didn't care, and threw the twig and rattan in her hand beside the fire.
"Make a bow? Just use this? Geng Xiaofan frowned.
"Yes, that's all." Liu Fei'er squatted down, picked up the rattan, and skillfully split it with a dagger, Geng Xiaofan knew that she was going to rub the "rope" to make a bowstring, so she hurriedly helped.
After making the "bowstring", Fei'er chose another branch that looked relatively strong, bent it vigorously, tested the strength, and began to roast it on the fire.
Geng Xiaofan was a little surprised, "Fei'er, do you know this?" ”
"Look down on me! I made my first bow myself! Liu Fei'er was a little proud.
"It seems that this is what Xunzi said." Geng Xiaofan was ready to help.
"I'll do it myself, you can help me cut a few arrows." Liu Fei'er handed the dagger to Geng Xiaofan, and then asked, "Who is Xunzi?" ”
"A great thinker in the Warring States Period, almost as famous as Master Confucius......" Geng Xiaofan took the dagger and began to cut branches.
"I don't understand. What Warring States, what thinkers? Liu Fei'er asked while "cooking" the bow.
"We call the period before the unification of the First Emperor the Warring States period, a few hundred years from now. A thinker is a person who has a scholarly question, just like Confucius. Geng Xiaofan explained.
"You're saying that people have been doing this for hundreds of years!" Liu Fei'er listened to it plausibly and sighed.
"Making bows and arrows is not hundreds of years, our ancestors would have done it a long time ago, I'm afraid it has been thousands of years."
"Oh! So, did you still have it at that time? You don't need a bow. ”
"Yes! However, we don't use it for hunting anymore, we use it for competitions. Geng Xiaofan remembered the club in the "dream".
"Competitions? Do you shoot willows too? ”
"Shoot willows? We don't shoot willows, we shoot targets, but it's about the same as shooting willows. ”
"Oh! All right! Let's try it! Liu Fei'er completed the homemade bow and arrow, and Geng Xiaofan also sharpened three arrows.
Although the bow and arrow made by Liu Feier was simple, the "lethality" was not small, and the two really shot a pheasant.
"Haha! Brother Fan, we have a blessed mouth today. Liu Fei'er was carrying the pheasant and was very happy.
"No salt and no condiments, can it be delicious?"
"If only there was a pot. By the way, Brother Fan, do you know how to burn pottery? Why don't we burn the pot and stew the pheasant! ”
"Fei'er, are you going to make a home here? Is it that simple to burn pottery? Not to mention clay, we can't burn it at such a high temperature. ”
"Yes!" Liu Fei'er was a little disappointed.
"But, Fei'er, I can make you a delicious chicken!" Geng Xiaofan suddenly remembered that at this time, I am afraid that it is the best choice to do "called Hua Chicken".
After tinkering for a long time, Geng Xiaofan fished out the mud-sealed flower chicken from the fire, and Liu Fei'er's eyes widened.
Knock open the mud, the aroma is tangy!
"It smells so good! Brother Fan, you are too good at eating! ”
"What is this! Do you think, if this chicken belly is filled with green onions, ginger and garlic......" Geng Xiaofan didn't finish speaking, Liu Fei'er was already drooling, and she couldn't wait to tear off a chicken leg.
"Is it delicious?" Geng Xiaofan also tore the chicken.
"Delicious, delicious!" Liu Fei'er stuffed the chicken leg in her hand into Geng Xiaofan's mouth.
"Well, it's not bad! When we went out, we wrapped it in lotus leaves and roasted it, and it tasted beautiful! Geng Xiaofan is also very satisfied with his masterpiece.
Liu Fei'er knelt beside the fire and ate chicken with relish, and Geng Xiaofan began to make torches. This kind of wild life, one day or two can be, but long time is not good, even if you don't starve to death, your body can't stand it, you still have to find a way to leave quickly.
Go into the cave today to explore the way, if you can't get out, you can only hurry up and cut down wood and build ships!
Seeing that Fei'er happily ate most of the roast chicken, Geng Xiaofan began to pack up his "equipment", but in fact, there was nothing more, nothing more than torches, daggers and freshly made earthen bows.
The two carefully explored the cave, and Geng Xiaofan found that there were more and more crystals along the way, and he was sure that this was a natural crystal mine!
There was no danger along the way, not even the "thin air" problem he feared, but he found that the flames on the torches kept shaking, which made him sure that there must be an exit from the cave.
I don't know how long they walked, and the two came to the "end" of the cave.
"No way!" Liu Fei'er looked at the stones piled up in front of her, a little disappointed.
"Yes! There must be! Geng Xiaofan raised the torch, he clearly felt the movement of air, and the jump of the flame fully proved it.
"You mean, the earthquake shook the rocks and blocked this place?" Liu Fei'er stepped forward to take a closer look, and picked off a stone casually, and the rubble flowed down with a clatter.
"Fei'er, be careful! I'll come, you help me with the torch. Geng Xiaofan stepped forward, this kind of dangerous strength work can't be done by Fei'er.
After clearing the hole that one person could pass through, Geng Xiaofan stopped, turned around and took the torch handed over by Liu Fei'er, climbed in, and looked inside, he was dumbfounded!
Ahead is no longer like the narrow passage just now, but a circular empty field, about the size of half a football field. And the cliff wall is covered with crystals, which sparkle in the light of torches, like a sky full of stars!
"This is a natural treasure!" Geng Xiaofan climbed forward with a torch, but he pressed it into the air and fell headlong!
