Chapter 7: My Savage Life

The sky is blue and clean, as if you can see the end of the sky at a glance; The surface of the lake not far away is sparkling, like a large mirror inlaid in the green mountains and green fields; The slanting sun and the lake are connected, reflecting thousands of light snakes, moving with the waves, forming a dynamic world of light and shadow!

With the high view of the lake, the lake water is crystal clear, and schools of fish in the water are frolicking, chasing each other into the water and grass that burrows into the bottom of the lake; The air is fresh and pleasant, and when you breathe it down, it seems that 120,000 pores have opened up and down your body, and this feeling of joy and joy is wonderful!

If you can build a small cabin by this lake, and call a few fox friends to enjoy natural oxygen for a few days, that guy, tsk...

I have to admire myself as a natural optimist: just out of danger, I have to get up immediately.

I followed the lakeshore all the way to the west, and a few miles away the mountains were undulating and endless...

Wangshan ran a dead horse.

The green mountains on the opposite side are obviously in front of you, but after walking for more than an hour, it is still so far away, and the good mood is worn out little by little, so depressing!

After a few sighs, I still had to drag my lead-filled legs and continue to trek, searching all the way...

When the sun was about to go down, I finally found a nest to settle into.

This is a natural cave on the mountainside, the cave is not hidden, and the entrance is not small, and a person can enter it with a slight bow. It's the size of a single room. I turned on the flashlight, took a knife and a crossbow and carefully probed the cave, the cave was dry and there was nothing abnormal, I breathed a sigh of relief, put down my luggage, and could move in.

Walking out of the cave, I suddenly felt a chill in my nose, looked down to find the source, and suddenly felt a light in my eyes: a spring was less than ten meters away from me, and it happened to gush out of the depression of a small hillside; As it approached, the cooler it became even cooler, and it seemed that the temperature dropped sharply at a distance of five or six meters from it. The tired and restless body was soaked in the cool air conditioning, and the spirit was lifted.

I was in a good mood at the moment, and I squatted down by this small oval-shaped pool, which was not large enough to reach with my arms outstretched; It is not deep, and the blue-gray rock at the bottom of the pool cracks a few small cracks, and the spring water bubbles out of it, but it always stops rising two or three inches above the ground, and it never overflows the ground.

The spring water is clear and jade, churning and surging in the slightest place, endlessly.

I was so overjoyed that I couldn't help but bow my head and pour a handful into my mouth, the clear spring was sweet and delicious, slid down the throat and injected into the internal organs, and then penetrated into every cell in the body, and I was about to moan out when I was comfortable.

There were a lot of dead branches and yellow leaves around the hillside, and after collecting a few of them, he made a fire at the entrance of the cave, and hurriedly took out the wet clothes and blankets from his backpack, built a rack with long branches, covered them with the shelves, and began to bake them in front of the fire.

The flames were constantly rising and jumping in front of my eyes, and the thrill of the day's fate still made my heart palpitate.

The wet clothes on his body have been dried, and the blankets and other things on the shelves next to him have long been dry. I put away my tumultuous thoughts, laid out a blanket, lay down not far from the fire, and put the opener and repeating crossbow within reach.

After a good night's sleep, the crisp cuckoo call woke me up from my sweet sleep the next day, and it was dawn. I stretched, feeling dry and comfortable.

The fire at the entrance of the cave had burned to the point that only a pile of ashes remained.

I walked outside the cave, shook my neck, moved my limbs, and played a set of Shaolin long fists, the fist wind was whirring, opening and closing, my body was like a shock, my fist was like a tiger, my body was full of qi and blood, and I couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl!

At this moment, the blood in the body is boiling, and the power in the body is thick and condensed, and it seems that it is about to explode at any time! I took out the mountain opening knife, found a thigh-thick thigh-thick thorn pine, sank into the dantian, kicked the ground hard with both feet, and the power was instantly transmitted from the arms holding the knife, and in the loud shout, the blade flashed coldly, and slashed at the trunk of the tree.

"Boom!" The top half of the trunk smashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

For a moment, I was dumbfounded, staring at the half-cut stump that was only a few meters high, and I couldn't believe that this was my masterpiece just now!

Hahahaha! After a while, I laughed wildly, and my stagnant physical strength finally broke through today.

After more than ten years of hard work, my physical fitness has been very good, almost the limit of modern people, if you want to go further, it is only possible to pass the test of life and death! However, today's society is harmonious and stable, and there are few opportunities to fight with cold weapons or with bare hands, and that kind of opportunity is hard to come by.

Yesterday's life-and-death struggle with the giant crocodile, the potential contained in my body for more than ten years immediately burst out, breaking through the bottleneck, and my physical fitness has reached a new level!

……

The last bag of biscuits has been wiped out yesterday, and if you don't find anything to eat, it is estimated that it will not take 3 days, and I will completely explain here. Although I don't dare to do too much extravagance in wild food, it is difficult for me to fish, I think when I was a child, I spearfished, covered fish, and touched fish in the small river in my hometown, which was not proficient? During the summer vacation, my home was stained with my light, and there was fish to eat every day.

I put down a very strong little tree, and with a paratrooper knife I cut the trunk thin and straight enough to hold it in one hand, and then cut out a spear head, and carved a small pimple like a fish fin on each side of the wooden spear head, which was supposed to be a barb. I was familiar with the road and came to the nameless lake again.

Not far from the tree, the giant crocodile lay motionless on the ground, as if asleep. The grass beside it was a mess, and it looked like it should have struggled for a while, but it couldn't do it anymore, so it had to give up.

"It's better to find a cave and lock it up," I thought. "This giant crocodile is the greatest achievement of my expedition, and I will surely become famous for it in the world of exploration in the future; Big crocodile, don't run away, Lao Tzu wants you to appear in front of the world alive. ”

Then he thought, "Even if you find a hole nearby, it will be too much trouble to get this big creature over, or you will dig a hole next to it and bury it, and only show its head to let it breathe; The crocodile is said to be a witness to the age of dinosaurs, very ancient, can survive to this day, the vitality must be extremely vigorous, buried for ten days, eight days should not be a problem. Right! That's it! ”

I was very distressed and took the mountain knife as a digging tool, and scolded myself in my heart: "Loser, a good thing worth a thousand dollars is actually used as a shovel to spoil!" ”

It took 9 oxen and 2 tigers to finally dig a big inclined pit, more than two meters deep, and less than one meter at the shallowest point, just the size of this guy. I clapped my hands and carefully examined the knife, and it was not damaged in the slightest! It's really a good knife, worth a thousand ocean flowers!

I cut down a tree trunk more than 3 meters long and more than 20 centimeters thick, I stuck the trunk under the crocodile's belly and pried it up vigorously to move it into the pit.

The big crocodile twisted, staring at me with wide eyes and a muffled hum.

TMD, the mouth is tied like a zongzi, and it is so arrogant, Lao Tzu has fire when he sees this appearance, and he uses the back of the knife to cut it when he lifts the mountain knife, anyway, you have thick skin, at first it continued to struggle and resist, and after Lao Tzu happily split more than a dozen knives, it drooped its head and obeyed, and let Lao Tzu pry it into the pit.

Place its head on the shallower side of the pit, then remove the dirt from both sides, and tamp it with its feet. He also bravely used the trunk of a tree to pry a few large stones of at least 600 catties and pressed them into a large pit that had not yet been filled with soil. After doing this physical work, I had a bit of an urgency to urinate, and it was a rush to aim at the huge crocodile head!

"Cool!" I let out a wicked grin like a villain. "I told you to scare Lao Tzu yesterday, see if Lao Tzu doesn't pee to death today!"

The side job was done, and I walked lightly to the lake with my homemade fish-pounding wooden gun.

The fish here are not afraid of the living, chasing them in groups on the surface of the lake, or grazing on the weeds on the shore.

I stabbed at an unknown fish, but the wooden spear was too light to be effective in the water, and the head of the spear crossed the back of the fish, and the fish swung its tail fins violently, and the fish in the vicinity were frightened and scattered.

It would be nice if you had a harpoon, and you should have a good iron fork for your next adventure.

I made several shots in a row, but I didn't catch the fish.

If I go into the water to touch the fish, I'm still a little sure. But after thinking about it: "Crocodiles are generally social animals, if you meet one more, Lao Tzu will not fall 8 lifetimes of mold, and the life he just picked up will not be taken again!"

Besides, this place is a strange place, and it always gives me a strange feeling, although I can't say the specific reason, my intuition tells me that there is probably some unknown danger here, and on land, I still have a fluke; When I went into the water, I could only ask Taishang Laojun and other gods and Buddhas to take care of it! ”

Looking at the schools of fish swimming in the middle of the lake, I was a little deflated.

A wild fish can kill a hero!

I can see it but can't eat it, and the feeling of aggrieved is extremely uncomfortable. I threw off my shirt and trousers, put on only one pair of trousers, jumped into the water, and touched the fish in the weedy area on the shore of the lake.

I monkey body, both hands in the lake in the water and grass groping, a lot of fish, from time to time to hit my chest bang, when the hand of the slightest movement, the fish has quickly slipped away from my armpit, even if I am lucky enough to intercept one or two, it is not slippery, three or two strokes to escape... After staying in the water for a long time, I finally found some of the feeling of touching a fish when I was a child: I touched a fish head with my right hand, and my left hand hurriedly cooperated to hold down the fish. Exhausted, I threw it ashore. This fish is more than a foot long, and it is five or six catties. I let out a long sigh of relief that today's lunch was finally over.

Over the next few days, I tied the paratrooper knife to the head of a wooden spear and used it as a harpoon, and it worked well, and I no longer had to worry about going into the water to make a living. There are too many fish to eat, if you can catch a few hares, pheasants and the like, and then add wild vegetables and wild fruits to meat and vegetables... That's a little life.

In this place, it is better to rely on heaven and earth than on yourself. In order to create a good, happy life, I had to be busy again.

I searched for a few miscellaneous trees with a hard texture and straight trunks, and sharpened more than a dozen javelins more than a meter long with a paratrooper knife; and painstakingly imitated dozens of crossbow arrows (those six crossbow arrows with anesthetic were too precious to save their lives when they were most dangerous. He also installed a gate at the entrance of the cave and tied the thigh-thick wood firmly together with wild vines. From then on, I was able to sleep peacefully.

The days passed unconsciously, counting the marks carved on the cave wall, and it had been half a month since I stayed here.

During this time, I learned to hunt and my javelin throwing skills improved.

Today, I happened to see some mushrooms while hunting, and I was about to pick them, and there was a sika deer licking something on the rocks on the side of the hill not far away, and I didn't want to hurt the cute little one. Quietly leaned in and recorded it with your phone up close.

Unexpectedly, the sika deer was very clever, and it disappeared as soon as it spread its hooves and smoked. I came to the boulder that the sika deer had licked, the gray-white stone surface was covered with a layer of white moraine, I heard that the deer like to eat salt, could it be salt ore. I twisted a little powder with my fingers and put it to my mouth and tasted it, it was a little salty and a little bitter. I really guessed it, but it contains more impurities, and it can't be eaten directly.

I was ecstatic, the days without salt were too uncomfortable.

The paratrooper knife was lightly attached to the stone surface as if it were scraped by a fly, and more than a dozen catties of powder were soon stuffed into the backpack.

On the way back, I shot a javelin at a galloping antelope, carrying the antelope back, alarming a fat pheasant, I raised my hand, the crossbow arrow off the string, an arrow sealed the throat.

The harvest is abundant, and the prey is left at the doorstep.

I'm carrying a pristine wooden barrel. It's a proud piece of work that I've been working on lately: the material of the work is a piece of fine walnut, which is hollowed out first, and then the handle reserved for it is finished, which feels good when lifted, and looks simple and elegant.

I found a small wooden basin made by myself, fired some charcoal, wrenched it into small particles and stuffed it evenly into a T-shirt, wrapped it in a coat, and then covered it on the basin, and then tied the clothes to the basin with a rope and tied it tightly, and the simple activated carbon filter basin was done!

The filter layer on the basin was piled up with off-white powder, and I clapped my hands, OK! Everything is ready to go.

Pick up a bucket of water in the small pool, constantly rinse the powder on the filter dish, after the wooden basin is full, take out the charcoal clothes and clean them, then put them on again, continue to lift the water to rinse and filter, after repeating several times, the brine solution obtained is almost the same, and the rest of the process of boiling salt to evaporate water is troublesome, there is no cauldron, you have to use the empty shell of the tin can, at least 30 cans must be boiled!

Such a hard work was not completed until the afternoon of the next day, and the white crystals of less than half a catty kept me busy for a day and a half, and my eyes moistened when I looked at these insignificant fruits of labor.

After more than ten hours of work, the salary is only worth 5 cents!

After taking a shower, I whistled and roasted the meat, and then washed the mushrooms mixed with some minced meat and put them in a tin pot to make soup. In less than an hour, the delicious meal is freshly baked.

I tore off a large mouthful of antelope's thigh meat, and when I bit into my mouth, orange-yellow mutton fat splashed out, and I immediately felt a mouthful full of aroma and a long aftertaste; After a few more sips of fresh mushroom soup, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the delicious food flowing down my throat into my stomach and intestines, and then relaxing my whole body...

As I was enjoying my meal, I caught a glimpse of a little monkey tiptoeing in front of me, and when I looked up at it, it retracted a few steps, five or six meters away from me, but refused to go any further.

The little monkey is less than 1 meter tall, snow-white, without a single stray hair, and full of aura; It scratched its ears and cheeks, stared at the meat on the grill, and when it saw that I didn't get up to chase it, it tried to move two small steps forward cautiously, but it was still a little afraid, and took another step back, squeaking and squeaking.

I saw that it was cute, so I tore a small piece of barbecue and threw it over. The little monkey jumped up and caught the barbecue very flexibly, but the barbecue was very hot, and the hot little monkey squeaked and screamed. Accidentally let go of the paws, the piece of meat fell to the ground, and the little monkey was quick to see it, sat on the ground with his butt, and raised his foot to catch the piece of roast meat.

The barbecue was still very hot, and the monkey hurriedly snatched it with his paws, and the barbecue passed happily between the hands and feet of the little monkey... Looking at the little monkey with its feet facing the sky, I laughed happily!

It didn't take long for the little monkey to finish eating this small piece of meat, and he was still unsatisfied, and squeaked and pointed at the barbecue, staring at the barbecue without blinking, and his saliva flowed...

With a funny and cute little friend, I've also had a lot of fun. I tore another piece of barbecue, and I was worried about burning it again, so I gently blew and blew on the barbecue with my mouth, and then threw it to it.

The little monkey caught the barbecue, rolled his eyes, first glanced at me, then tilted his head, puffed out his cheeks and blew on the barbecue, from left to right, and from right to left. I actually learned seven or eight points from what I looked like...

The next day, I rubbed my sleepy eyes open and walked out of the hole.

"Snap" a ping-pong-ball-sized thing smashed on my forehead without warning, soft, not very painful, it turned out to be a small wild fruit.

Reflexively, I reached out to stroke my forehead, and looked up in surprise to see a snow-white monkey standing on a branch of a tall tree not far away. It covered its mouth and grinned, and the other monkey paw pointed at my forehead, jumping triumphantly on the branch.

I'm so angry and funny, you trickster!

I walked briskly towards the tree, deliberately trying to scare it, but it winked at me, screaming "whoa," and didn't take my scare seriously.

I rushed to the bottom of the tree, and a dark shadow shot at me, and I didn't have time to think about it, but when I reached out and grabbed it, it was an unknown dark red fruit, and this little thing was addicted to play!

By this time, the trickster had jumped up another tree, hung on a branch, swung around, squeaked at me a few times, and then leaped into the next tree, and soon disappeared into the woods.

I shook my head helplessly and turned to go back, only to catch a glimpse of a small pile of wild fruits on the right side of the cave.

Hehehe, it turns out that this little guy still knows how to exchange courtesies!
