Chapter 8 Snatching from the Eagle's Mouth
After walking a short distance along the riverbank, I saw several snakes, the largest of which was nearly two meters long and as thick as an adult's fist. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Every time he saw the snake Tang Ge, he felt that his calves and stomach were trembling, which made Tang Ge very distressed. In his previous life, Tang Ge was not afraid of snakes, and when he was a child, he didn't catch snakes less, and even because he caught snakes and played with snakes, he became a legend in the surrounding villages. Tang Ge was in his thirties in his last life, and when he went to the neighboring village to do things, he didn't know each other many times, but as long as he mentioned that he loved to catch snakes when he was a child, he immediately understood who he was. A bunch of relationships are laid out, and they immediately get a lot closer. can imagine how famous Tang Ge was when he was a child, and you can also see how naughty Tang Ge was when he was a child. But now when he sees the snake's legs, his stomach trembles, which makes Tang Ge very shocked. He understood that this was just a knee-jerk reaction of Xiao Shi's body, and he couldn't control it at all.
The tribe's view of snakes is very magical, saying that if you provoke it or hurt it, when it recovers, it will find a chance to come back for revenge. It is said that the snake will not die on the ground, and it will not be able to cut it into several sections, because there is a magical animal in this heaven and earth, whose name is "Long Worm Rescue". As soon as you hear the name, you know that this thing is the savior of snakes, and this amazing species is Bethune of the animal kingdom, and their favorite thing to do every day is to look around for injured or dead snakes, and the bigger the better. After finding it, they spit saliva on the snake, no matter how injured the snake is, it can recover immediately when it comes into contact with the saliva system, even if it is cut into two pieces, it can pick up the broken snake, and then rely on the rescued snake to feed it.
Although the clansmen swear by this thing and say that they have noses and eyes, if you ask him what this thing looks like, it will be lively all of a sudden. Some say it looks like a four-legged snake, some say it looks like a wild cat, some say it has wings like a bird, and some people say that this thing is a kind of mountain spirit that cannot be seen by human eyes. One by one, they expressed their opinions, and said that they couldn't wait to fight in the fierce places. After Tang Ge heard others talk about this matter for the first time, he immediately expressed his admiration for the imagination of primitive people.
Superstition is superstition, but it is undeniable that this is also a kind of belief in nature in the tribe. So when people in the tribe encounter a snake, they don't bother if they can, and let it go away on its own. Even if you have a conflict with a snake, you can't relax when you see the snake being killed, and you must hang it on a tree and off the ground. Because as long as you are on the ground, the next day the snake may be injured, and it may suddenly appear to bite you at any time, and there are indeed many people in the tribe who are bitten by snakes and insects every year. There is a low tree in the tribe, and it is full of snakes, large and small, long and short, all of which have been found and killed in the tribe. The weather was hot and smelly, crawling with flies, and it was very disgusting.
Regarding the body's reaction to snakes, Tang Ge is not impossible, as long as he catches a few snakes and plays, it would be good to be familiar with that feeling, but he didn't dare to act too weird now. The hellish scene of yesterday is still vivid, and Tang Ge doesn't want to do it again, so he decides that he must be careful no matter what he does in the future, and he must not show his feet again.
The big stone walked all the way, and introduced Tang Ge all the way. What animals have what habits, how to hunt, what plants can be eaten, what plants are poisonous. What you can touch and what you can't touch. What you see and what you say, talk endlessly, no matter how big or small. When explaining, he also put down a few trap covers, pointing to the footprints of animals on the ground to introduce Tang Ge what kind of places are the animal paths that animals love to walk. At this time, the big stone is very confident and bright. Tang Ge understands that as a father, he is willing to show his strong side in front of his son, not to mention that this is the field that Da Shi is good at.
In fact, Tang Ge wrapped around the big stone and brought himself out this time, which had a purpose. Now that you have made up your mind to live again, you can't live without quality. The people of the tribe in the memory of Little Stone did not have a concept of breeding and farming at all. Tang Ge estimated that the tribe may have a rich source of food, and no one thought about it at all, but Xiaoshi seemed to have heard someone mention that some tribes can live by planting and breeding.
Regarding agriculture, the people in the tribe can not be concerned, but Tang Ge cannot. If you want to live a quality life, you have to find a way to change the current situation. The days when you can only eat barbecue can be regarded as a happy life.
The people in the tribe never eat pungent food, and they never eat anything they don't know or taste, for fear of poison, which creates a very monotonous situation in the diet. So Tang Ge looked around as he walked, looking around for something to eat. Although almost all the animals he saw could be eaten, Tang Ge's focus was on plants. After all, this small body is not qualified for hunting, so let's find a way to see if we can engage in farming.
Tang Ge became more and more puzzled as he walked, looking at the clumps of dog's tail grass in the field, dandelions, as well as mugwort, yellow artemisia, purslane, and apricot kernel vegetables, and even had a feeling of returning to the fields of his hometown in his previous life. These familiar plants made Tang Ge feel very confused, originally he thought that he was in another world, but these things seemed to tell him that you are still there, but the time is different.
Tang Ge's confusion didn't last long. Whether it's traveling back in time or in another time and space, it doesn't seem to mean much to me, in short, I just need to live well in this wild land. There's no need to dwell on these things, it's useless to dwell on them.
The big boulder had been walking along the river, and it didn't seem to have any intention of going up to the plains. This made Tang Ge very depressed, looking at the seemingly unchanged scenery around him, Tang Ge was a little anxious, so he asked, "Big stone, why don't we go to the plain?" ”
The big stone stretched out his hand to compare Tang Ge's height and the depth of the grass, and said to Tang Ge while gesturing: "Okay, this is the second rule of the code, you remember: don't go to places that can't be observed, because no one knows what dangerous things are inside." ”
Tang Ge looked at the grass on the plain that was more than one person high, and thought that it really made sense. In such a bush, the line of sight is not far at all, if there is any beast hidden in the grass, even a small poisonous insect, it can make the rash intruder unable to eat and walk.
Nodding his head in understanding. Da Shi was very satisfied with Tang Ge's performance, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his naughty child becoming so obedient. On the contrary, I think that my child should be so sensible.
As he spoke, a gray-black mountain eagle swooped into the woods beside him. Da Shi suddenly came to his senses, and beckoned Tang Ge: "Come with me." With that, he took Tang Ge and carefully touched the woods. As he walked, he let out a shouting sound, and Tang Ge didn't go far before he saw the mountain eagle flying up from the ground not far away. The big stone took Tang Gele and touched it, and sure enough, there was a huge rabbit on the ground that had lost its breath, its stomach had been cut a small opening, and its intestines had come out a little. The poor mountain eagle had just caught its prey, and before it could start to enjoy it, it was robbed by Tang Ge and the others.
Da Shi said: "Luckily, I thought that the food for the two of us would have to take a lot of effort, but I didn't expect God to deliver the food directly to the door." ”
After that, hang the rabbit on a branch with a rope, cut a circle on the rabbit's neck with a knife, pull the rabbit skin at the edge of the knife and tear it down, and a complete rabbit skin tube was torn off, and then use the knife to pull a few strokes in the rabbit's chest, and dig out, and the intestines are unloaded. Only the heart and liver are still in the chest.
The whole process takes no more than a minute. Tang Ge looked at the flowing movements of the big stone, and his heart was full of admiration. This is simply a realistic version of the cow, a rabbit is cleaned up in the blink of an eye, and even the blood stains on the ground are only gathered in a small puddle, and I don't know when I will learn this craft.
The big stone picked a few leaves and wiped his hands, picked a few large leaves and wrapped the rabbit, then cut off the head, threw the rabbit's head, rabbit feet, fur and internal organs into a small dirt pit along with the blood-stained leaves, kicked some soil to cover these things, and then wrapped the rabbit tightly, and took a rope to urge Tang Ge to hurry away. As he walked, he explained to Tang Ge: "You remember, many beasts have very sensitive noses. Therefore, when slaughtering prey in the wild, it is important to stay away from the camp. As long as there are conditions, they must be buried, or they will be in great trouble if they attract fierce beasts. Tang Ge nodded again to indicate that he remembered. There is really a lot of attention to survival in the wild, and crises are everywhere, so it seems that I still have a lot to learn.
Returning to the creek again, the big stone went down and washed his hands. Sitting on the ground opened the leaves of the wrapping rabbit. Reaching out and pulling it in the rabbit's chest, he pulled out the rabbit's liver, carefully picked out the bitter gall on the liver, and the big stone handed the liver to Tang Ge, signaling Tang Ge to eat it. Tang Ge was startled, looking at the bloody liver, who can stand this thing eating it raw? He shook his head in refusal. The big stone gave in again, and seeing that Tang Ge's expression was very resolute and there was no compromise, he shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, this thing is good, eat it for a long time." ”
Tang Ge is very devastated, does eating raw liver have a relationship with growing hair? I really don't understand the strange logical relationship of primitive people.
Rabbits are small, but they have more livers than eggs. The big stone only used two bites, and chewed the rabbit liver, and Tang Ge's eyebrows jumped when he saw it.
After eating the rabbit liver, washing his hands, wrapping the rabbit, Dashi took Tang Ge and set off again. Walking and stopping on the road, carrying all kinds of knowledge to Tang Ge, the two of them were not in a hurry, so they walked very slowly. It was almost noon, and I had walked seven or eight miles.
Seeing that it was not too early, Dashi took Tang Ge to pick up some firewood and prepare to make a fire to barbecue meat.
I saw that the big stone set up the dry firewood in a conical shape, pulled some slender hay into a ball, pulled out the stone knife at his waist, and gently tapped it on the stone knife with another stone, and the falling sparks ignited the firewood and grass. Tang Ge was very surprised, and took the stone knife and looked at it carefully. It's still the same stone knife, but this time I saw something different. The marks on the stone knives are all small pits, very smooth, and the edge is also very sharp, but the blades are not straight, and the marks left by the polishing are a bit like shells.
"Flint." Tang Ge thought. There are a lot of fire-making tools used in my previous life, all kinds of but I have never used this thing, I have never seen it, but Tang Ge is still sure that this is flint. This triggered Tang Ge's thinking. "Legend has it that the Suiren clan drilled wood to make fire and taught primitive people to make fire, is this really credible? Although there are indeed many examples of drilling wood for fire in history, flint like this does not seem to be difficult to find. Could it be that the Suiren clan has never seen a flint? Or did others use flint to make stone tools without even thinking about catching fire? The flint of the flint of the flint clan is the same as the flint of the flint, is there any connection between this? ”
