Chapter 59: Practice Survival in the Wild
Zhuang Zhou rubbed his eyes and sat up, and glanced at the quilt beside him, he was sure that there was no Sister Qing'er in it, and he didn't wear any clothes, so he got out of bed. Squatted down and looked under the bed first, thinking that Sister Qing'er was joking. And then! Rushed out of the room and searched everywhere.
Now he and Sister Qing'er don't sleep in a quilt, let alone sleep together. I don't know what day it began, and the two suddenly felt that they had grown up and could no longer sleep together. When people outside joked about the two of them, both knew they were blushing. But! No matter what the people outside say, the two still sleep in the same room and a bed.
The spring in the north is really warm and cold, and it is still very cold outside in the morning. Zhuang Zhou looked for it everywhere like a madman. He went to the toilet first, and after not seeing Sister Qing'er, he went to the place where Sister Qing'er often went. Outcome! The same was not found.
After finding nothing, he looked for it again, only to find that not only Sister Qing'er was gone, but even the Taoist protectors around Sister Qing'er were gone. In the thatched house, Sister Qing'er's clothes and sword were also missing.
"Sister? Have you gone to the country of Qi? ”
Zhuang Zhou ran profusely and sweated, and he was guessing in his heart while wiping his sweat.
Putting on his clothes, he simply cleaned up, and without saying hello to anyone, he went out of the Mo family's branch and chased after Sister Qing'er.
Here in the morning, the talented people from all over the world were still sleeping under the covers, looking very lonely, and no one noticed him.
Outside the Mojia branch altar in the morning, it was very lively. Those wine shops, restaurants, and other places, got up early and prepared breakfast for the talented people.
Zhuang Zhou's back is carrying a burden. Inside the baggage was the Mo family's double sword and male sword given to him by the masked woman, as well as two other clothes.
In ancient times, the poor people traveled with their luggage.
The road leading to the outside of the Mojia branch altar has changed from the previous path to a road as wide as an official road. The weeds on both sides have a hint of life, green and green. Bud buds have also grown on the shrubs, giving it a spring scent.
The morning breeze blows, and gradually the chill disappears, giving people a mild feeling.
Zhuang Zhou walked firmly, held his head high, strode forward.
Behind him, a few early birds perched in the trees, singing happily and beautifully, as if to see Zhuang Zhou off.
After leaving the Mojia branch altar and going to the outside world, there were gradually more pedestrians on the road, and he also inquired by the way, how to go to Qi Kingdom? Did you see his sister Qing'er?
"Go to Qi country? The country of Qi is at war! But? The place bordering the Song Kingdom, there is no war for the time being, it is still open, do you have a customs clearance permit? ”
"Nope!"
"None? Without you, you can go to Qi country? ”
After inquiring about the way to Qi Country, Zhuang Zhou didn't talk nonsense anymore and silently hurried up. It's another thing to go to Qi Country, and chasing Sister Qing'er is the most important place. And also! It is most important to greet the master of the male fowl. And also! Coming out to experience is the most important thing.
Unconsciously, Zhuang Zhou walked twenty or thirty miles, hungry. He left in a hurry, did not eat breakfast, and did not bring dry food. and there was no silver in him. He grew up so big, and he never had the concept of a coin. Even! I don't know what the silver does.
His eyes looked around, there were no shops or people around, and there was nothing in front of him except weeds and shrubs.
Even if there were shops and people, he did not have silver taels or coins in circulation in the Song Kingdom.
But! Zhuang Zhou immediately laughed! It was as if he saw a natural granary, and nature had given him endless food.
He got into the grass on the side of the road, put down the burden on his back, took out his sword from it, the male sword of the Mo family's double sword, pulled out the sword, and shook it in front of him.
Ever since he got the sword, he made a scabbard out of bark and bamboo.
The sword glowed, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips. And then! Flicking the fingers of his left hand lightly on the back of the sword, the sword made a buzzing sound.
"Today the food for the day was all gone! Well! ”
One of his hands grabbed at a withered grass beneath his feet, and the other sword dug into the soil. After three or two strokes, the grassroots was dug up, enough for him to have a full meal. He didn't stop and dug up all the surrounding plants.
"Hmmm! That's enough for me to eat for a day! ”
Clapping his hands, Zhuang Zhou sat on the ground and looked greedily at the remaining grassroots. He shook his head and thought, "When I get back, I'll dig again!" If you dig too much, it's inconvenient to bring it up.
Peeled the skin of the grass roots and fed his stomach. After sitting for a while, he cleaned up and continued his journey.
Today is a good day, the sun is warm, and it is very comfortable to shine on the body.
Before I knew it, I came to a forest. Entering the woods, Zhuang Zhou's eyes looked around, and suddenly! I got excited again.
In his eyes, he felt that there were treasures everywhere.
Yes! That's a hemp tree!
The hemp bark is very strong and can make a lot of things. You can use hemp bark to make strings for bows and arrows, you can use hemp bark to make nets, you can use hemp bark to make ropes, you can ...... Many, many places can.
Zhuang Zhou ran over a little impatiently, standing in front of the hemp tree and looking up and down. Forthwith! He removed the burden from his back and took out his sword from it. Pulling out the sword, his eyes were so greedy that his mouth was drooling, and he couldn't bear to do it. But! He did it anyway.
Peel the skin and pull out the hemp threads.
"Hmmm! I've got to make a slingshot first! ”
With a slingshot, you can shoot birds.
"Hmmm! I've got to make some ropes. ”
With a rope, it's safe to sleep at night. Make a few fasteners around the perimeter to lock their feet when a bad guy or beast comes. You can also go to the neighborhood to tighten the buckle, catch the rabbit or something, and you can eat rabbit meat.
Just do it, Zhuang Zhou sat cross-legged on the ground and rubbed the rope. He rubbed a few strings and tried his luck in the woods to see if he could catch a rabbit. As soon as the string was made, he went nearby and placed a few fasteners. He ran back and sat down and continued to rub the rope.
As needed, roll out ropes of different specifications and stuff them into the baggage. His burden immediately bulged.
"Hmmm! I'm going to have to find a branch that can make a slingshot......"
Zhuang Zhou packed his bags, carried his baggage, and carried a sword in his hand to find the branches to make the slingshot.
To make a slingshot, you need a bouncy two-pronged branch. During the Warring States period, the rubber bands of modern society had not yet been discovered, so the elasticity of tree branches could only be used to estimate the slingshot. Or! Make a slingshot like you make a bow.
"Rabbit! I caught a rabbit! ”
Suddenly! He heard the sound of rabbits jumping and whining where they had been placed in the clasps.
