Chapter 2 Survival

It's not easy to survive.

In the bitter cold wind, Lu Shi staggered forward, the target, the south.

It is said that fighting with the sky is endless, fighting with the earth is endless, and fighting with people is endless, that is the philosophy of the great man, for the unlucky Lu Shi, survival is extremely difficult, especially at this time.

The wail of his stomach trumped everything, and he had nothing but the clothes that had been given to him by the dead.

On the third day of the crossing, when his eyes were full of stars, Lu Shi finally saw a fat dog, which was gnawing on the thigh of a corpse on the side of the road.

Lu Shi did not vomit, but pounced directly, of course, Lu Shi did not want to compete with the wild dog for the same kind of food, the target was the wild dog, the dog was also strong, staring at the blood-red eyes and Lu Shi had a desperate fight, but in the end, in front of the enemy of one meter eight five, the dog was defeated.

The law of survival tells us that at this time, failure has a result - death.

Hunger defeated nausea, Lu Shi roasted the dog's leg beautifully and ate the first meal of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that there is an episode of the scribes, I have realized the difficulties of life in the late Ming Dynasty, which has hit the confidence of Lu Shi traversers to live.

Sometimes, Lu Shidu thinks, maybe starving to death, is the way to go back to the 21st century, now I think about it, after all, the carefree but bland home of the 21st century is what I am most eager to get, what subverts the Ming Dynasty, what blocks the wild boar skin, what saves the Han family, what the rich man in the south, and now for the head full of hamburger hot pot, it is all floating clouds.

But, still but.

I want to think about it, but I really use the method of starvation to go back, I still feel unreliable, if I starve to death, but I can't go back, wouldn't it be wronged?

In his own world, a big living person disappeared and met him, and he didn't know if he really crossed over, but he didn't see anyone who came back after crossing, but this is a sure thing, and it's better not to take this risk.

Now for Lu Shi, living is the first, there is no second, the future ambition? It's just a dream.

The last shred of flesh on the dog's leg had fallen into its stomach and turned invisible, and now its stomach no longer barked, but it was not full, but numb with hunger.

The legs that used to be strong have lost their senses, and they are just moving forward mechanically.

Target? Yes After making sure that I couldn't go back, I decided to go south.

In his little historical knowledge, this Yulin is immediately a place where the war broke out, there are Wang Er who wants to kill officials and rebel, there are homeless people who revolt, and the official army began to fight with the rebel army, and the Mongolian Tartars who entered the customs and plundered.

Lu Shi also wanted to join the torrent of this vigorous revolution, and gathered with a shout, but history told himself that Wang Er's fate was tragic, and the Ming Dynasty had not really fallen to the point of letting you rebel and ignore it, so Wang Er was wiped out in just two months, becoming the starting point of the uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty defined by historians, but it was only defined as the starting point, and there was no praise and sigh.

If you want to live, don't mix with the period, you don't have a ninth-level martial arts, and you don't have a fantasy body, every time you starve, you know that you are still a real mortal.

There are two purposes for going south, the further south you go, the lighter the drought, even if you want food, it is much better, after all, struggling to survive and not starving is the first place.

If you are lucky enough to go to the south, then everything will be fine, not to mention the locust-like uprising of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others who escaped later.

It is the later Manchu Tatars who entered the customs, but also did not destroy the south too much, although they have great ambitions, but also first find a stable place, in case things do not go as desired, you can also rely on their own foresight, tend to avoid evil, to Nanyang to embark on a journey, the most unfortunate can also use their own life common sense, in this era to open the golden finger to be a rich man, about the previous difficult task of changing history, now has been consumed by hunger and no interest.

It's better to change history than those cattle people to do, and I still enjoy the shade and brilliance they have given me.

Just walk and stop, every day for this belly to run, on the tree, in the soil, in the wilderness, I have tasted it all over, but it is also hungry and full, in the blink of an eye two months have passed, the weather has begun to warm day by day, survival is no longer so difficult, at least no longer worry about freezing to death, look at the weather is now about April, it is already the season of farming, but the world is drought, a winter and a spring without rain, along the way are abandoned land, even the roots of wild vegetables do not grow, it is really a desolation, the road begging for food began to flock in groups, It's even harder to find a bite to eat.

Lu Shi abandoned the road and turned to the mountains, where there were still wild things, and it was easier to find some food.

The first golden finger is not to get rich, but to live.

Watching the rabbit in front of him gallop away, he was helpless, because no matter how much he could run, he would definitely not be able to outrun the rabbit, and for the rabbit, Lu Shi needed a bow and arrow.

But the bow and arrow, according to the requirements and production process of the current era, is not something that can be made by itself, that is to dozens of materials and countless processes for three years, only one stone bow and two stone bows until it is said that He Renlong came to open the metamorphosis ten stone bow.

However, the ancient Chinese bow and arrow has a fatal mistake, that is, to use fire to make the bow and arrow into a beautiful shape, they think that can increase the shooting power of the bow and arrow, don't you know, that just destroys the natural toughness of the plant fiber of the bow arm, damage the shooting power, so you can only use greater force to pull the bow open, when the instant launch, let the bow first offset most of the loss of toughness, so that the initial velocity of the long arrow is greatly reduced, in order to make up for this defect, can only make a more complex composite bow, The use of more scarce beef tendon to make strings, with increased power, but in the end is not as powerful as the European longbow.

Lu Shi knows that the English longbow is the representative of this European bow and arrow, that is, to use Zamu, or high-grade sandalwood naturally as the bow arm, increase the length of the bow back to increase the shooting distance and strength, in the current era, this is the only more advanced and practical weapon in Europe than China, of course, this English longbow also has shortcomings, not only the bow body grows, but also the arrow also needs to be lengthened, with the current general height of the Chinese, but it is inconvenient to carry, but the power can cover all flaws.

Now Lu Shi saw the mountains full of Zamu, so he had hope of living again.

Or this era is good, there is no indiscriminate logging, this is the existence of a large area of primeval forest in Shaanxi, this situation has not changed until the Republic of China, or Mao Taizu did not have Zhang Side charcoal burning, Nanniwan opened up the wasteland and fought the tiger through the ages.

When Lu Shi used a primitive stone knife to painstakingly cut down a tree the thickness of an egg, and tried to bend him into a bow shape with his original trouser belt, because he was too concentrated, a sentence behind him almost made Lu Shi fall down.

"Are you making a bow?"

Lu Shi turned around suddenly, and he didn't know when, a child dragging snot behind him was biting his fingers and looking at him curiously.

Hunger made Lu Shi's ears lose the alertness they should have, and he didn't even know that a big living person was standing behind him, but fortunately, he was relieved to see that the child was also a homeless person dressed and had no evil expression on his face.

"You're ugly with this bow." The kid used a disdainful tone to talk to Lu Shi about the bow and arrow that Lu Shi had worked so hard to make, the so-called hard work was still when he was cutting down the wood, after all, the wood was extremely tough, and it was extremely tough, and Lu Shi was still holding the original stone tool, and it was the kind of paleolithic tool.

A child, this is the first living person Lu Shi has seen in this mountain for nearly a month, and his heart is warm for no reason.

"What's your name, little friend?" Lu Shi squatted down and asked kindly.

The kid dodged Lu Shi's hand that wanted to touch his head, and still laughed at Lu Shidao: "You can't do this thing, and the arrows you shoot won't be far away." There was still a look of disdain on his face.

Being despised by a child, especially by an ancient little child, this is intolerable to all traversers, and Lu Shi has to fight for the face of those invincible traversers.

"Little one, see what I did for you."

The bow was ready, but there were really no arrows, so Lu Shi found a few long and straight wattles, removed the branches, and took a straight section of one meter and two, which was more than double the current arrows, which made the kid even more teased.

"You can't shoot far with such a long arrow, it's too heavy, and it's windy. My family is a craftsman among the military households, and I understand this. ”

Lu Shi ignored him and was teased repeatedly, but he was not annoyed, just smiled and still did his own thing.

The bow arm of the English longbow grows up, so the arrows needed are long, so that there is kinetic energy, the thickness of the arrow, plus its own weight, so that there is potential energy, the longbow is not to win with precision, but to win with strong distance, diffuse coverage, what does the little kid know? I despise you too.

But it is not kind for a modern person to despise an ancient child.

After finding a big stone and sharpening the front end, instead of the arrow, everything was in order, Lu Shi stood up and said with a smile: "Little friend, look at how I hunt the prey." ”

Stretch out the bow, take the arrow, gently pull it apart, aim at a fat rabbit in the distance who was startled by the two of them talking, and release the arrow.

The rabbit disappeared from view unscathed and in a flash of lightning.

Lu Shi was embarrassed, and the child was surprised.

A fat pheasant fell fifty paces away - with an arrow through the chest. In fact, this is because Lu Shi does not have the ability to make the English longbow according to the proper process, or its range can reach a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, but who says that the serious has nothing but the belt of the trousers.

The unexpected joy is definitely due to the aphorism and law of which to point, Lu Shi calmly walked to the pheasant and picked it up, and said to the kid with a smile: "Fortunately, it's not a squirrel, we have pheasants to eat at night, and we are also hungry, I can eat this pheasant alone, but I was divided by your kid." ”

Thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "The same is a homeless person, meeting is fate, and it doesn't matter if you eat with you, with this longbow, you won't have to worry about hunger when you walk in the mountains in the future." ”

Seeing that the child was still in place with his mouth wide open, Lu Shi returned to him, patted him on the head and said, "Wanderer? ”

At this time, a child in ragged clothes like this is a homeless person, who is either separated from the brigade, or his parents are dead, and they are all hard-working people.

The child was slapped by Lu Shi, suddenly woke up, raised his head, and his eyes were already full of admiration.

"Big brother, is this a bow you made? yes, this is what you did, is this the bow you made out of the Zamu of this mountain? Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Then he raised his face and said excitedly: "Big brother, you are amazing." The child said to himself, and when he was sure of himself, he looked at Lu Shi with admiration.

Lu Shi smiled lightly, the child's understanding is not too fast, this English longbow has violated the cognition of this dynasty, but there is no need to explain any physical principles with a child, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't ask these boring questions again, come, our brother has a chewing fruit at night is serious, you go find some firewood, let's barbecue." ”

Only then did the child come back to his senses and asked timidly, "Big brother, can you take the pheasant back to my house?" My brother and sister too, too, tooβ€”" blushing and heartbeat, embarrassed to continue.

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly rejoiced, what good news is this? I have been walking alone for a few months, and there are no villages along the way, or there are people who go to the empty villages, this is the first time I know that there are still people who have not moved away in Yulin, Shaanxi.

"Little brother, it's just a nuisance." Lu Shi didn't dare to be humble, and was busy taking this matter seriously.

"Don't bother, it's the joy that is, my father must be happy." said this, but in fact, his eyes were staring at the fat chicken in Lu Shi's hand.

Lu Shi smiled and didn't care, and said with a smile: "Little brother, then let's go home." ”
