Uncle Shi got up in the morning, just went to the cave, and found that there was a broken tree floating on the edge of the lake that was stuck by the rock, and there was a person holding the tree, his mind reflected quickly, and immediately knew what was going on, and hurriedly called his two sons, and quickly rescued Xiaoye in the water, and found that he was still alive, Uncle Shi, who had lived by the lake for many years, was very experienced, and immediately put Xiaoye lying on the rock, and a lot of water flowed out of Xiaoye's mouth, and after the water was finished, Uncle Shi replaced the wet sheepskin on Xiaoye's body with dry sheepskin.

After a while, Xiao Ye woke up, he opened his eyes and saw several strangers, and said weakly: "Thank you for saving me." Uncle Shi said, "Young man, don't talk, you must be hungry, eat something and talk again." ”

Aunt Shi brought pheasant meat, Uncle Shi used a stone knife to cut the meat into small pieces and feed it to Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye ate half a chicken for a while, ate another fruit, and rested for a while, Uncle Shi asked: "Young man, you are from there, what is your name, and why are you in the river." ”

Xiao Ye replied: "I am from the mountain tribe, my name is Xiao Ye, I went to the river to catch "water meat", that is, something that swims in the water, encountered a flash flood, was washed by the flood for a day and a night, and was rescued by you, thank you so much, what kind of place are you here?" ”

Uncle Shi replied: "We are from the Shiyan tribe, and there are 39 people living in the cave by this nameless lake. There are also two tribes on the grassland above, one is the grassland tribe with more than 60 people, who live in the nests of big trees on the shore. There is also the Caoping tribe, with more than 50 people, living in several large caves by the nameless lake below. I'll take you around when you're recovered. ”

After a while, Xiao Ye asked again, "You eat raw meat here, haven't you used fire yet?" Uncle Shi's whole family couldn't understand what he was saying, and Uncle Shi replied, "We don't know what you're talking about, our ancestors have been eating raw meat for generations, and we don't know what fire is." ”

Xiao Ye said: "Fire is a good thing, raw chicken is grilled with fire and eaten, the taste is fresh and beautiful, but delicious, you can also use fire to hunt, use fire to heat, use fire to illuminate, if you burn two fires on the grass, people can sleep around the fire, and wild beasts dare not come." ”

Uncle Shi's whole family seemed to understand it, but they still listened to it with relish. Uncle Shi said: "You have a good rest, don't talk too much, and talk slowly about other things later." ”

Xiao Ye soaked in the water for a day and a night, and was indeed too tired and tired, so he ate his stomach again and fell asleep after a while. Uncle Shi's whole family was happy to save a young man, and they all smiled happily when they saw him sleeping sweetly.

Xiao Ye rested at Uncle Shi's house for a day and a night, and Uncle Shi's whole family cared about him and took care of him, so that he quickly recovered. He was very interested in the new environment and asked Uncle Shi to send Uncle Shi to accompany him around, Uncle Shi agreed, and arranged for Uncle Shi not to go too far and play nearby.

Shi Da took Xiao Ye to play around the lake, Xiao Ye looked around, and found that there was land in the center of the Nameless Lake, so he asked curiously: "Shi Da, I see that there is land, trees, and grass in the center of the Nameless Lake, what is that place?" Shi Da replied; It was a nameless island, and I only saw trees, grass, and animals on the island, but no one had ever been there, and no one could go there if there was water. Xiao Ye thought, it would be nice if there were people living on this island. At this time, he saw a hare looking for food by the lake, Shi Da picked a small stone on the ground and aimed it at the hare, hitting the head of the hare, which had knocked the hare unconscious, and Shi Da ran forward to catch the hare.

Xiao Ye smiled and said, "Shi Da, you are really good, and you still have such skills, one by one." Shi Da laughed and said, "It's nothing, everyone here will fight, if you study for a few days, you will too." ”

Xiao Ye asked again: "Do the Grassland Tribe and the Caoping Tribe also hunt wild animals like this?" Shi Da replied, "They beat wild animals with stones and sticks like we do." ”

When they came to the grassland, they saw a vast grassland with no eye in sight, and at the same time saw many bison, wild horses and sheep. Xiao Ye said: "You have a lot of wild things here, I see that there are more than a dozen wild cattle in that herd, there are more than a dozen wild horses, and even more sheep, you are not short of food." ”

Shi Da said: "Usually we mainly hunt small wild animals, rarely hunt bison and wild horses, it is much more difficult and dangerous to fight these big wild animals. ”

Xiaoye took a closer look at the soil and found that it was sandy, which was very suitable for digging traps. He asked Shi Da again: "Do these wild creatures usually come to the lake to eat water?" ”

Shi Da said: "If you want water, bison and wild horses have to go to the lake every day to eat water, you see that there is relatively flat, bison often eat there, we have no way to kill these big wild things, it is not easy to kill, you hit it, it will run, it will run, and we can't catch up when it runs." Sometimes when it hits, it doesn't run, and the horns on its head are very good, and it rushes towards people with its head buried, and it doesn't kill the cow, and the people are injured. Besides, we had enough small wild animals to eat, so we had to stop hunting big wild animals. ”

Xiao Ye said: "I have a very safe way to hunt and kill big bison, wild horses, people will not be harmed, as long as one bison is killed, it is equivalent to more than 200 hares, and the beef is very delicious." ”

Shi Da stared at Xiao Ye with a suspicious gaze and said, "Is this true?" Bison are not so easy to kill. ”

Xiao Ye said: "This is true, I won't lie to you, I will hunt the bison to show you, you will believe it, we can do it immediately, I will wait for you here, you go back to find three people to get a few stone knives and stone axes, we will dig traps to kill the bison." Shi Da thought to himself, as long as people were not harmed and could hunt bison, it would be okay to give it a try, so he ran back to find someone.

Shi Da quickly called the three of them and took four stone knives and four stone axes. At this time, Uncle Shi heard that Xiao Ye wanted to hunt bison and was afraid of it, so he rushed to Shi Er, and Uncle Shi asked Xiao Ye: "Catching bison is very dangerous, and if you don't do it well, it will hurt people, you tell me how to hunt bison?" ”

Xiao Ye told how to dig traps and how to hunt bison very safely, and everyone said that this method was good. Xiaoye chose the bison, the wild horse draught must pass the road, dig the trap with a stone knife, several of them take turns to dig, the soil is good to dig, less than half a day to dig a trap, Xiaoye with the branches prepared early on the trap, and spread a layer of grass on the branches, camouflaged like a grass, everything is ready, Xiaoye told everyone to leave, go back to eat lunch.

After returning to the cave, Uncle Shi asked Xiao Ye, "Can this trap really kill the bison?" ”

Xiao Ye replied: "This method works, we have used this method to hunt two tigers, and have captured many bison, wild horses and sheep. Wait, you can hear the bison barking and you'll be successful. ”

Uncle Shi said, "Tell us about your hunting of tigers and bison and wild horses." ”

Xiao Ye said, "Okay." He told the story of how the tigers stole sheep, how they bit people to death, how they hunted tigers with traps, how they hunted bison and wild horses, and how they used torches to hunt. Uncle Shi's whole family was fascinated by what they heard, and they felt novel and credible about the story told by Xiao Ye, and at the same time admired Xiao Ye's cleverness very much.

At this time, Mrs. Shi brought rabbit meat and duck meat to everyone for lunch, and Xiao Ye ate a little duck meat and then ate a piece of fruit, so she didn't eat it. Uncle Shi persuaded him to eat more, and Xiao Ye said, "Uncle Shi, I've eaten enough." "In fact, he ate raw meat, and his stomach was uncomfortable, and he was afraid that eating too much would be even worse.

Xiao Ye began to think about the love of making fire, he thought, Uncle Shi's family is my life-saving benefactor, I should repay them well, if I can help them get the fire, light the fire here, and let them live a life of fire, how good it would be......

The sun in the sky was about to set, and when he heard the screams of several bison, Xiao Ye said excitedly: "The bison fell into the trap, quickly tell the men to beat the bison with wooden sticks." Uncle Shi told Shi Da to call the men of the tribe to the trap, and several bison saw the people running with sticks and fled. Only the bison in the trap was barking, and Xiao Ye shouted: "Everyone hit the cow's head with stone axes and wooden sticks, everyone beat hard!" "The bison could not escape in the trap, and the people beat them with an axe and a stick from me, and in a short time the bison's head was broken and he died quickly.

The people of the Shiyan tribe cheered, Uncle Shi was very happy, and asked someone to bring Tengtiao, and tied the bison well, and everyone dragged the bison up from the trap with hard work, and Uncle Shi arranged to use a stone knife to cut off the cowhide, cut the beef into pieces, add small leaves, and divide each person into a piece, and everyone went back happily.

Xiao Ye, Shi Da and Shi Da Uncle, left the trap and camouflaged it before going home. That night, everyone happily ate beef that they hadn't eaten for a long time, and they all thanked Xiao Ye from the bottom of their hearts......

The next morning, he suddenly heard the sound of bison screaming again, and Xiao Ye shouted: "It's successful again, Uncle Shi, tell everyone to fight bison." The men of the stone tribe rushed to the trap with wooden sticks in their hands, and together they quickly killed the bison, and each of them got a large piece of beef, and the people were very happy, and they all praised Xiao Ye for being smart, helping them to be safe and effortless, and hunted two bison, and the harvest of two days was enough to eat for half a month.

On this day, the weather was clear, and soon after dawn, the sun showed a smiling face. People were still happy to be able to eat wild beef, and at this time, Xiao Ye was happy to see people eating beef, and he was also happy that he could help his benefactor do a good job.

Xiao Ye saw that the weather was very good and he was working, so he said to Uncle Shi: "Uncle Shi, in addition to catching and killing big animals, you can also dig small traps to catch and kill small animals in places where small animals often move, everyone can learn to dig traps, and you will have endless meat." ”

Uncle Shi smiled and said, "Xiaoye, you are so smart, you have helped us a lot, let's teach everyone to dig traps today, dig a few more small traps, and your life will be better in the future." Xiao Ye said: "I'll help you choose a few places to dig small traps, the effect must be very good." ”

So, Uncle Shi took 10 people and Xiao Ye to the place where small animals often move, according to Xiao Ye's instructions, 10 people acted separately, they used stone knives and stone axes, and quickly dug 4 small traps. Xiao Ye said: "The small trap is dug well, from now on, the small trap must be picked up once a day, and if there is prey, it will be hunted and killed." "Luckily, three hares were caught that afternoon, and the people cheered again......
