The hot springs are actually near the copper mines, and they are also in the territory of the Gray Wolf Tribe. That's the area you're most familiar with.

Everyone traveled all the way to the west, walked for two days, and arrived at their destination without any danger or danger. Perhaps because of the large number of people, the expected danger did not appear, and not even the legendary big footprints were seen in the forest traces.

After two days of walking, Lin Rui saw some grouse rabbits and other animals in the forest, and these animals were soon cooked and eaten by him.

On the first day of camping, Lin Ji simply led the people to build a wooden house on the side of the road that was often walked. This can also make it easier for those who carry mines in the future to rest.

This also made the auxiliary woman Xu Yu and others realize that Ji Lin's "stone tools" are powerful, so they kept pestering the forest traces and inquiring about the method of making this stone tool. Naturally, the statement of forest traces is also a general answer to the general question of "burned out of stones".

The hot spring is in a relatively steep valley, and when you enter the valley, you can see the stream flowing loudly, the grass and trees along the stream and the greenery, and the ice and snow turn into a small stream that merges into the stream.

Walking up the valley, the valley became sparsely planted, the mountains and rocks were craggy, and between the rocks, a dilapidated shack was blown out of sight by the wind.

It was the place where the anecdotes lived, but they hadn't been back for a few months, and it was already dilapidated.

At the end of the valley, a fog was churning, and water vapor gushed from the cracks in the stones, which was more than ten meters high. It's not a hot spring made by a boiler, or the steaming water is scary.

Yimu pointed to the stream between the stones: "The water here can be soaked, and if you go up a little more, you can scald the beasts, and the water is hotter than broth." But it's not broth, it smells weird, and you can't drink it. ”

Water with too high sulfur content is naturally undrinkable, and drinking too much will cause poisoning.

Po Tu also said: "This place is called Bad Water Valley, and legend has it that there are fire cows that eat people, and few people come here. If you don't have a fire ox, it's a good place. ”

Lin Ji said: "The fire ox is underground, it won't come out to eat people, everyone can rest assured that it will be a few days here." ”

When they arrived at the place, Lin Ji asked people to cut wood from nearby, and he directed people to clear the rubble in a relatively flat place and drive piles to build houses. A few more men were sent around to see if there were any wild beasts to get back for dinner.

In this process, it was another time when the Human people looked envious. The efficiency of bronze tools is much higher than that of stone tools. Even Hu Yi'er saw that his eyes were hot, and he had to pass an axe, cut wood under the command of Lin Jide, and had a lot of fun.

It was hot and dry in the valley, and it didn't take long for everyone to sweat, and many people took off their hides. More than ten people worked together to build a wooden house of dozens of square meters in half a day. The people who went out to patrol also returned, and brought back a lot of birds and beasts.

Everyone peeled and washed the beast in the warm water, and Lin Ji took out a clay pot, filled it with snow water, put some animal meat into the clay pot, and then went up to the hot spring mouth, put the clay pot into the gurgling hot spring water, and stewed it.

The simmering time is relatively long, Lin Ji pulled Hu Yi'er to introduce the hot spring water into a stone recess, and then brought ice water from the snow to adjust the water temperature, and finally made it into a large bathtub, just soak comfortably in this misty mist, which makes people feel like they are in a fairyland, and they don't want to leave.

While the soup was ready, the two washed their clothes and dried them on a warm stone.

After a long time, the two returned to the vicinity of the wooden room with the soup pot, and many men and auxiliary women here were soaked in the water, and the scene was lively.

The auxiliary woman washes off the rancid smell on her body, which is still quite popular with men, so the picture in the stream is a little embarrassing for a child like Lin Ji.

In the midst of this bustle, no one noticed that the anecdote leading the way quietly left.

After a night of such relaxation and excitement, the next morning we still soaked in the water for a while, and when everyone was tired, someone suggested that we go to pick honey.

On the way, Yimu accidentally leaked another way he had survived the winter, and that was the amount of honey in the valley downstream. Because no one was there, he had the honey to himself.

The honey is located on a cliff two or three kilometers downstream, and when viewed from the valley floor, it looks like a huge Ganoderma lucidum. The honey was covered with snow and ice, and it looked like a cake set on a cliff. The honey's nest is in the crevice of the rock near the honey. In order to withstand the bitter cold, the bees are wrapped in clumps in the crevices of the rocks to keep warm.

They went up the cliff from the gentle side of the mountain, hung down the ropes from it, and went down to collect honey with the lighter ones. It was a painful process of being stung, but fortunately, the skins were wrapped around the people who stood in front of the cliff and those who fell, so that the bees could not get their mouths.

Those who could not sting the bees in front of the cliff pursued the people on the cliff in all directions. Lin Ji and the others had to run away. The little wolf dog couldn't dodge, and was stung a few times in the mouth, and soon became a bun face.

Xu Yu picked up a piece of honey and broke it one by one for everyone to taste, and the forest trace also got a piece. But Lin Ji looked at Xu Yu's jet-black fingers, and he really didn't have any appetite at all.

Xu Yu licked the honey in a small gulp and said, "I said, this honey can be put for ten full moons and is not bad, and it is a good thing." ”

Lin Ji said: "If you can put it, it won't be bad even if you put it for ten spring and autumn." It's the only thing in the world that can't be broken. The piece you eat may last longer than you lived. ”

"How do you know?" Xu Yu looked at the honey in his hand and was a little incredulous.

"You can go and try. If you want the answer, I can tell you that it was told to me by the Chestnut God Revelation. Lin Ji really didn't have a good impression of this person, so he spoke in a rushed tone.

Xu Yu looked at the forest traces in surprise, but he really put away the honey in his hand.

At this time, the little wolf dog whined and crooked on the side. Xu Yu reprimanded it, and prepared to get more honey and put it away.

Lin Ji heard that something was wrong, turned his head to look in the direction of the little wolf dog, and warned loudly: "There is a situation, let the people below come up." ”

At a glance, the place where the little wolf dog neighed was a field of ice and snow and low trees. The leaves of the dwarf trees are gone, and they can't hide anything.

Lin Ji walked cautiously with a short spear, but saw a snow-white object slowly raising its head in the bushes.

It was white-haired, monkey-like, and had an ape-like face, with a pair of large, dark, and bright eyes.

This is a species that has never been seen before in the forest traces, it is more like a human than an orangutan, but it is impossible for a human to have such long hair, and the human eyeballs are not so large.

Suddenly, Lin Ji saw a little curiosity and ignorance in those big eyes, just like a kind pet dog in the community in later generations. It was not even wary of the spear of the forest trail and the little wolf dog next to it, as if it did not know what danger was.

"You, whose family?" Lin Ji continued to be vigilant with a spear, but he asked something that didn't match his mouth, it was really like meeting a cute pet dog in the afterlife.

Its foot was wounded, and some of the blood was frozen with the snow. But for some reason, it hid in the bushes, and did not leave even when it was discovered by the little wolf.

"Kill it, it's a snow monster!" Xu Yu reacted first, and then he pushed aside the low tree next to him, and looked a little farther away, and the ground was full of huge and messy footprints. The one closest to the dwarf tree resembles a human footprint, but the footprint is estimated to be sixty centimeters long. Lin Ji can be used as a boat when he stands in it.

Xu Yu looked at the footprints, dipped a little snow foam from the footprints and put it in his mouth, and immediately changed his face after opening and closing his mouth: "Go!" Walk! ”

The catfish-like Xu Yu suddenly turned into an eagle, pounced over and hugged the forest trail and began to run wildly without touching the ground. Seeing this, the little wolf dog also ran away.

Xu Yu ran over the cliff, and his voice became hoarse: "Six long teeth, two snow monsters, they will come back at any time, go!" Walk! Walk! ”

The crowd panicked away, but the side of the low tree was still quiet.

A piece of honey fell from the forest trail and rolled down beside the little snow monster. The little snow monster picked up the honey, sniffed it first, licked it again, and then squinted its eyes and ate it.

A small piece of honey was quickly eaten. It sniffled, looked at the frozen feet under its feet, and finally moved, pulling its feet out of the snow and ice, and then looked at the large footprints behind it, but easily chased them in the direction where the forest trail had disappeared.
