Chapter 3 Taste the Roasted Meat
Uncle Gao Shan looked at the burned forest, and said distressedly: "The big forest is about to burn out, and the wild things are gone, and our days will be even more difficult in the future." ”
Everyone was also tired, and they sat on the sidelines, looking at the big forest that had been burned by fire, and their hearts were very sad. Uncle Gao Shan said regretfully: "Our ancestors and generations have relied on this big forest to survive, this big forest has fed all of us dozens of people, the big forest is gone, we still have to find a way to live, let's go, it's not too early, we will find a way to go back." He led the group back to the cave very quickly.
In the evening, people happily ate the burned sheep, everyone had a full meal, especially the children, who laughed when eating, and the mothers also showed their smiling faces that they had not seen for a long time. Uncle Gao Shan said to everyone: "Everyone has not eaten for a long time, and today we finally have a full meal, but there is not much meat left, so we can only leave it for the children." Tomorrow, we will still look around the burning forest, such a large forest, we can always find some wild things burned by the fire, tonight everyone goes to bed early, tomorrow morning to ...... "After everyone listened, they all felt that Uncle Gaoshan's arrangement was very reasonable, so everyone went to bed early.
In order for all the people who fell to survive, Uncle Takayama led everyone to the forest again, around the burned forest, looking for burned wild things. Everyone is already sweating profusely from the heat, still enduring the high temperature, using a wooden stick to pick up the burned ashes to find, especially Uncle Gao Shan, he is old, and like young people, he is looking carefully and carefully, no matter how hot it is, he will not rest for a while, everyone sees it, no matter how tired and hot it is, there is no one to complain.
At this time, Xiaoshu shouted: "There is a charred wild boar here, I don't know if I can eat it." Everyone gathered around and saw that it was indeed a charred wild boar, and its fur was burned, as if there was still a fragrance.
Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "Xiaoshu, you can taste a little and see if you can eat it." The little tree tore off a piece and tasted it, then exclaimed excitedly: "Oh my God! The burnt wild boar meat is so delicious!" Uncle Gao Shan said: "As long as you can eat it, small trees, cut them into small pieces with a stone knife, and everyone eats a piece."
Xiaoshu immediately cut a small piece for each person with a stone knife, and everyone was very happy after eating, saying, "The roasted wild boar meat is so fragrant, so delicious." "This was the first time that humans had tasted wild boar meat that had been burned by fire, and Xiaoshu became the first person to eat it. Uncle Gao Shan also ate a piece, and he said very happily: "This burnt wild boar is so delicious, I have lived for more than 40 years, and it is the first time I have eaten such a delicious wild boar." As he ate, he arranged for everyone to continue searching around the burned forest.
Everyone came hard, endured the heat, used wooden sticks to dig through piles of charcoal, continued to search, through everyone's efforts, the day's harvest was really a lot, found a burned bison, a wild boar and half of the sheep burned by the fire. Everyone carried the harvested food back to the cave, and the whole tribe cheered, gathered around the food, and ate it, and was so happy after eating! They all said that they had eaten a delicious meal that they had never eaten before, and everyone had a delicious meal. Especially the children, whose stomachs are already round, are still clamoring to eat.
Uncle Gao Shan said: "We should keep some meat for spare, and the rest for everyone to eat, I think there must be some wild things that have been burned to death by fire, and we should continue to look for them while the weather is fine and it is not raining." "Everyone unanimously agreed to continue the search for the meat of the beast that had been burned by the fire.
The next day, under the leadership of Uncle Gao Shan, everyone came to the destination again, trying to find the wild things that were burned by the fire, despite the high temperature, everyone was already sweating hot, or full of confidence to look for it seriously, for a while Xiao Ye excitedly shouted: "I found a pig that was burned by fire here, so fragrant!" After a while, Xiao Zhuang also shouted happily: "Everyone, look, I also found half a cow that was scorched by the fire." Everyone gathered around to watch, and Uncle Gao said, "It's been half a day, everyone eats a piece of beef and then continues to look for it." ”
Everyone listened to Uncle Gao Shan's speech, and everyone tore a piece of hot and fragrant roasted beef and ate it, shouting happily while eating. After eating, everyone continued to search.
After a day's hard work, I found half a cow, a pig, and half a horse, which is also a bumper harvest! They happily carried the food back to the cave, and the whole tribe cheered again, and everyone had a beautiful feast, and the joy was indescribable. Xiaohua sang a beautiful song, and the girls and boys all sang along, and the mountain tribe had not been so lively for a long time......
Uncle Takayama led everyone to continue to search for the burned wild things every day, but the harvest became less and less, sometimes finding half a cow burned by the fire, and sometimes it took a whole day to find half a sheep or half a pig that was burned by the fire. Half a month later, nothing was found. There is not much food stored in the cave, so it can only be left for small children.
Uncle Gao Shan had no choice but to arrange for half of the people to go to the river to catch "water meat" and "monsters", and the other half of the people were personally led by him to find a new way. Uncle Gao Shan thought: After the primeval forest burns, there will definitely be many wild beasts escaping, where will they flee to? He led the group to the edge of the primeval forest, armed with sticks, and they searched everywhere for prey. But a day passed, and only more than 20 small "water meats" were caught in the river, which were not enough for the children to eat. Those who seek prey do not get anything.
Uncle Gao Shan was worried about the lives of dozens of people, and he reminded everyone: "We are going hungry again, what do dozens of people eat, what do you have good ideas?" After Uncle Gao Shan finished speaking, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke, and it was cold for a while. At this time, Xiaoye said: "The big forest we live in is about to burn out, only the scattered trees on the edge are still burning, wild things will definitely flee to other forests that are not burning, we can go to other forests to find, as long as there are forests, animals, and fruit trees, we will have food and we can survive."
Uncle Gao Shan thought it made sense and said: "What Xiao Ye said makes sense, I decided that tomorrow, I will be divided into three teams, Xiao Shan will lead a team, Xiao Shu will lead a team, Xiao Ye and I will lead a team, because the western forest edge is still burning, there is no need to go, the three teams will go to the east, north, and south, and move tomorrow morning, and meet in the cave before dark." So everyone split up and prepared.
As soon as the day dawned, everyone went their separate ways. Walking on the northern hill with 10 people, walking for less than half a day, he found that there was a small river on the left, the river water was very clear, on the right was a big forest, and found that there were wild things such as bison and sheep in the activity, the hill was happy, he thought, as long as there are wild things, there will be food, he took everyone to hurry back.
Walking the small tree in the south, I took everyone to walk for a long time, and I also found a big forest, there was a lawn, no river was found, and no wild activities were found.
The mountain uncle who walked the east, also found that there is a big forest, as if there are the footprints of wild beasts, there are fruit trees in the forest, they also picked more than 30 fruits, there is a big lawn outside the forest, there is a river not far from the big lawn, the river water is very clear, and it is very convenient to drink water. Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "This is a good place to live people, Xiaoye, what do you think?" ”
Xiao Ye happily replied: "Dad is right, this is indeed a good place to live, there are forests, fruit trees, animals, drinking water, and nothing is missing." On the way back, Uncle Takayama was thinking about the future......
That night, after the three teams met, they introduced the situation to each other, and through repeated comparisons, Uncle Takayama thought that it was better to live in the forest in the east. He gathered them together and said, "We have found the forest, and where there is a forest there will be beasts and fruits, and if there are beasts, and if there is fruit we will have something to eat, and as long as there is food, we will survive, and I have decided to move to the forest to the east, where there is a small river where we can drink, and life will be better than in this place now, and tomorrow we will move." After hearing this, everyone unanimously agreed to move.
The next morning, Uncle Takayama led all the people who had fallen behind, in fact, bringing what little food they had, and it was already afternoon when they arrived at their new residence. Everyone found a big tree and built his own nest. It's already night when they set up their nests.
Uncle Gao Shan called everyone to a lawn outside the forest, distributed the little food they had, and arranged future tasks, some of them picking wild fruits, and some of them looking for and hunting wild beasts. Everyone slept comfortably that night, because they had been used to living in the nest shed for many years, and they felt much more comfortable than in the cave.
When it was dawn, Uncle Gao Shan led Xiaoshan, Xiaoye and other 30 people into the forest to look for wild beasts with wooden sticks, stone knives, and stone axes, and Xiaoshu led the rest of the people to look for wild fruits. The hunters on this day did not hunt any wild beasts, so they did not catch anything. The people who were looking for wild fruits did not pick many wild fruits, so each person was given two, and the rest was left to the children.
Two or three days passed, and no wild beasts were hunted. Each person can only eat two wild fruits per day. Uncle Gao Shan thought: No matter where the beast hides, it must always seek food and water. He arranged for everyone to hide in the trees by the river, and prepared to hunt the wild beasts that came to drink, and waited and waited, and in the afternoon, sure enough, a wild cow and a little bison came, and the little bison followed the mother bison to the river to drink. At this time, Uncle Gao Shan shouted: "Hurry up and surround it, kill the big bison, and capture the little bison alive."
They immediately came down from the trees, surrounded the bison, and soon captured the little bison alive and tied them with rattans. Hitting the head and feet of the cow against the big cow, the cow could not escape from the encirclement in her dying struggle, and was quickly knocked over and died under the siege of everyone.
Everyone happily carried the prey and led the little bison back to the lawn outside the forest. Uncle Gao Shan arranged for Xiaocao and Xiaohua to raise the little bison, and arranged for Xiaoshan to use a stone knife to skin the dead female bison and cut it into small pieces for everyone.
Everyone was hungry, so they ate the beef as soon as they got it. After eating the roasted pork for a while, I went back to the past today, and I felt very bad and even more difficult to eat when I ate the bloody raw beef, but I was so hungry that I still had to eat it one bite at a time. In order to survive, such an uncomfortable day has to go on day by day.
