Sleeping by the tiger's den is not really running to the tiger's den to sleep, but spending the night in the tiger's territory.

Tigers generally do not go out again after they have eaten enough. Tigers are solitary and do not allow other large carnivores to hunt in their territory, so it is relatively safe in the tiger's territory at this time.

Lin Ji understood this truth, so he quickly nodded and agreed.

Hu Yi'er was full of approval, and after discerning the direction of the wind, he took the forest trails to look for a camp downwind.

The two found a meadow stream in a mountain stream. In autumn, there is little water, and the meadows are just dry and suitable. And there are some jagged rocks around, and it is difficult for wild beasts to get close.

Hu Yi'er picked up some dry branches and hay, broke a bush, and took out a thin rope from her waist. She tied a string to a bush and stuck a small stump in the rope to form a simple drilling device, which was about to start a fire.

Lin Ji put down the basket and said, "Don't be so troublesome, I'm prepared." ”

"Magic, too?" Hu Yi'er's eyes lit up again.

Not magic this time. Lin Ji took out a piece of wax shell ear from the back basket that was covered in mud.

Wax shell ear is a porous fungus with a dense wax shell on its surface, which is generally visible on dead trees. Break it open a small opening, light it and seal it with mud, and the fire inside will burn slowly. It can last anywhere from one to two days. This should also be the prototype of the earliest fire fold.

The way to drill wood for fire and bury ashes to keep fire will be used by the tribesmen, and there is no problem with the use of fire. It's just that Lin Ji took the vermilion monkey and they had to go to great lengths every time they lit a fire in the wild, so Lin Ji used this method. He watched it on Bei Ye's show. The effect is ok.

Breaking open the wax shell ears, there were still sparks inside, and the forest trails blew lightly on the dry grass a few times, and the smoke came out. Soon the flames appeared, and a small fire was soon lit.

Lin Ji shook the wax shell ear at Hu Yi'er: "You deserve it, but you have to bring a bag." ”

The fire is lit and the biggest problem of the overnight stay is solved. Hu Yi'er took a bow and arrows to look for prey, and the forest trails were left to clean up the camp.

The forest trail broke off some of the nearby twigs, which piled up on the rocks around the meadow to prevent wild beasts from approaching. The branches were lightly tied with rattan and erected next to the fire, making a low hut in the shape of a herringbone.

The wild cat in the basket was still alive, and it had several wounds on its body, but it had already scabbed. Lin Jixu stepped on its head, cleaned its wounds, and sprinkled some Yunnan Baiyao on it. Then tie it to the stone by the stream with a hemp rope and leave it alone.

The wild cat's vitality was okay, and after letting go of it, it wanted to escape, but it was not strong enough to break free from the rope, so it had to resign itself to lying on the rock. Later, I drank some water before lying on the stone and pretending to be dead.

The water in the stream on the side is very clear, and the fish in it can be seen. Lin Xi took out a net bag from the small town, stirred it up for a while, got several fish, and brought up a stone slab at the same time.

Lin Ji put the stone slab on the fire, thought about it, turned out the few chestnuts in the net pocket, and fried chestnuts with sugar for a long time, try it today......

When Hu Yi'er returned from the forest with two pheasants, he saw a simple sheltered camp taking shape. Wild cats eat fish offal and bones by the stream, and make whining sounds. On the stone slab by the fire, there were a few fragrant and juicy fish. A leaf bag also exudes the sweet aroma of chestnuts. And Lin Ji was sitting in the herringbone shack napping.

Hearing the movement, Lin Ji woke up and said, "Back?" Hunted pheasants? Great, you can save it for tomorrow. I fished the fish from the stream and it was cooked. But I've eaten it, and I'll leave it for you. I can't stand it, so I'll sleep first, and when the sun goes down completely, you wake me up and sleep with you. We took turns keeping vigils. ”

After saying that, Lin Ji lay down in the shack, covered with a large piece of lichen, and fell asleep.

Hu Yi'er looked at the fish with juice flowing on the slate, and had no idea how the forest trail was made.

The slate remains warm, and the fish temperature is just right. She carefully pinched a little and put it in her mouth, and the delicious taste of the fish suddenly exploded in her mouth.

Lin Ji woke up from sleep, and it was already the middle of the night. The middle of the moon has passed, the moon has not yet risen, and it is not known what time it is.

After a good night's sleep, Lin Ji stretched out of the shack and said, "Why don't you wake me up?" ”

The fire is dim, supporting the small space in the forest. Under the firelight, the slate where the fish was placed had become clean, and Hu Yi'er held a few chestnuts in his hand full of entanglement. The wild cats by the creek were a little panicked, curled up and wailed.

Hu Yi'er has a lot of chestnut shells scattered under her feet, and it is obvious that these are leftovers in her hands. She hesitated for a long time, but finally wrapped the three chestnuts in leaves and stuffed them into her bust.

"This is for Eminem and Aman, can't eat ......"

Lin Ji got up and went to the stream to wash his face, turned the basket upside down, and put it on the wild cat. The wildcat screamed and scratched the basket a few more times, but slowly fell silent.

Lin Ji came back and sat next to him and said, "If you like it, eat it, and when you go back, I'll get you some more." ”

Hu Yi'er shook her head firmly and didn't eat.

She went into the shack herself and asked, "Why doesn't it make trouble?" ”

"This thing is insecure and likes to drill holes. Cover it to make it quieter. ”

"You are like our wise man, you know everything."

"I'll be proud."

"Huh? Giggles. What else can you say? Probably never heard such a reply, Hu Yi'er was stunned and amused for a while.

She carefully turned her head out of the shack and peeked her head out of it: "Well, isn't magic something important?" ”

Lin Ji nodded and said, "Yes, why do you ask that?" ”

"When I first met you, you had murderous intent towards me. Later, after teaching me magic, it was gone. ”

Lin Ji didn't expect Hu Yi'er to have such a keen feeling. I was stunned for a while. Looking back on the changes in my feelings about her in the past two days, I feel a little incredible. At first, I really wanted to kill her to keep it a secret, but later I knew that I couldn't kill her, so I had to retreat to the next best thing, trying to use magic to confuse her audio-visual.

took advantage of her easily in the bath, and Lin Ji probably despised her a little. It wasn't until she also had her own principles that Lin Ji took it seriously. Then I suddenly had the idea of pursuing her.

When he met the tiger, his selfish desire to survive was troubled, and he once again thought about the possibility of killing her. Until she ran out of the tiger's mouth with him, and now she finally put the other party and herself to a certain height.

Now Lin Ji really feels that he wants to pursue this girl.

"Are you angry?" Lin Ji asked cautiously.

Hu Yi'er tilted her head slightly and looked at the fire: "No, if I'm angry, you're already dead." ”

It's a fact. A strong woman doesn't need to be petty.

Lin Ji shrunk his neck, and he was helpless about this start. But the encounter has become like this, and it is also quite a memorable thing.

Thinking about it later, it's hard to say what will happen or what the results will be in the future.

The age, identity, ideas and customs of the two are laid out here. These are all chasms.

To become a couple or to form a family, there are either common interests – for example, the need to organize a family, common pleasures, or common ideals. And these seem to be difficult to find in both him and Hu Yi'er.

Hu Yi'er doesn't need to start a family. People in this era have little time to pursue pleasure, as for common ideals...... Lin Ji didn't know what his path would be in the future.

For now, even if he can win a non-exchange next year. So what's next? Leading the tribe to plant, domesticate? And then grow the tribe and expand around? How long does the process take? Decade? And after that? Even if he did build his own foundation, what would the future hold? Xia Qi era or Qin Emperor hegemony? Or is it a direct leap into what doctrine?

After thinking for a while, Lin Ji didn't know the essentials. In this era, we did not even know the size of the population, nor did we know what the composition of the larger society was. Thinking about the latter ones is basically meaningless. Maybe the people of this era already have their own primitive social system.

"Hu Yi'er, have you ever thought about your future?" Lin Ji didn't dare to fool around like Zhu Monkey, but asked about Hu Yi'er.

"Future?" After figuring out this concept, Hu Yi'er said proudly: "Become the tribe's horned warrior and go hunting." ”

"Can hunt?" Lin Ji seems to have grasped the key to this era at once.

This word is not unfamiliar. But this word is rarely mentioned in the tribe. This is a rather painful word in the tribe. Lin Ji remembers that often before the snow fell in winter, the tribe would take turns sending men to the Youda tribe to participate in the hunt. But men generally avoid it, because every time they go out, they either come back with injuries in the middle of winter or die outside.

And this hunting cycle seems to be once every two to three years.

As for what he would do in the hunt, Lin Ji couldn't figure out the clue from the dream-like sentences of these people who came back. It's just that everybody knows it's scary, but they have to do it. Because there is a shadow of a tiger in the back.

"What is hunting?" Lin Ji asked.

No one answered. Turning his head, Lin Ji saw that Hu Yi'er had shrunk into a ball and fell asleep.

"Wait for me for two years, and I'll accompany you to the hunt. Look at what people in this day and age are really up to. Lin Ji muttered.
