On this day, the weather was sunny, Xiao Ye thought that the environmental conditions of the mountain tribe were poor, and in the case of a growing population, it was difficult to meet the food they ate, and compared with the conditions here, it was far worse, and he wanted to go to the nameless island to see if there were people living there, so as to make a difference for the future of the mountain tribe.

He asked Uncle Shi for help and said, "Please Uncle Shi help me, lend me a stone axe and a stone knife, and ask Shi Da to go with me to the nameless island to see the situation on the island." ”

Uncle Shi said in surprise: "You see that Nameless Island is separated by water, no one has ever been there, no one can go." ”

Xiao Ye smiled and said: "I have a way to go over, I have already seen it, not far below the trap we dug, the shore is very close to the island, there is a big tree on the shore, as long as you cut a big tree and let the big tree fall in the direction of the nameless island, the tip of the tree can be placed on the nameless island, and people can walk from the tree to the nameless island." ”

Uncle Shi saw that Xiao Ye insisted on going to Nameless Island, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, my name is Shi Dayi, and the three of us will go together, and we will bring three wooden sticks to prevent wild beasts." Xiao Ye expressed his gratitude to Uncle Shi for his support.

The three of them came to the place chosen by Xiao Ye, and saw that the nameless island was not far from the shore, Xiao Ye chose a very tall tree and said, "Just cut down this tree, and the tip of the tree will fall to the island, and we can walk over from the tree." ”

Uncle Shi said: "Xiao Ye is so smart, no one has been able to think of this way for many years, but you want to come, okay, let's start cutting down trees." Xiao Ye said: "I'll cut it first, and I will cut it in the direction of the Nameless Island, and then the tree will fall to the Nameless Island after it is broken." ”

Xiao Ye held the stone axe and cut it to the big tree, he was tired of chopping, Shi Da continued to cut again, and after a while, the big tree was cut off, just falling towards the nameless island, the head of the tree was on this shore, and the tip of the tree was really on the nameless island, so that a single-plank bridge was formed, which was also the first bridge of mankind!

Xiao Ye was the first to walk on the single-plank bridge, and he was brave enough to quickly cross the single-plank bridge and reach the nameless island. The second is Shi Da, and the third is Shi Dabo, both of whom crossed the single-plank bridge smoothly.

The three of them discussed on the island, and Uncle Shi said: "Let's take stone axes and sticks and walk along the lake to see how big the island is, and what animals and trees there are. Xiao Ye said: "Yes, listen to Uncle Shi, let's walk along the lake." ”

They walked cautiously, and found a lot of wild ducks, flying away, and found a lot of bamboo, a lot of trees, a lot of goats, hares, naughty monkeys jumping on the trees, there are countless kinds of birds, and there are many kinds of small animals that are not named. There are a lot of "water meat" swimming around the lake in search of food, and there are many "monsters" crawling.

Xiao Ye was so happy in his heart, he told Uncle Shi: "The "water meat" swimming in the water is delicious, the meat is tender and fresh, you see the eight-legged "monster", the taste is even more beautiful. ”

Uncle Shi was surprised and said, "You can eat everything that grows in the water!" We have never tasted this "water meat", let alone eaten the terrible "monster", because we have no shortage of food, and we have never known that what grows in the water can be eaten. ”

Xiao Ye said: "As long as there is food, who would think of eating that monster, and don't have the guts to eat it, we have nothing to eat, almost starved to death, in order to survive, we have the courage to eat the monster, who knows that after eating, I know that the meat of the "monster" is very delicious, as long as I eat it once, I can't forget it, I still want to eat it." ”

They looked at it as they walked, and found a lot of fruit trees, Xiao Ye thought about so many fruits, why not eat a few before leaving, he said to Uncle Shi: "Uncle Shi, wait a minute, I'll pick a few fruits to eat." He quickly climbed up the fruit tree, picked the ripe, the big fruit was thrown under the tree, he grabbed the branch and shook it a few times, the ripe fruit fell off the tree, Uncle Shi and Shi Da picked under the tree, and after a while picked a bunch, Xiaoye came down the tree, everyone ate the fruit, the fruit was very sweet and delicious, Xiaoye smiled and said: "Bring some fruit back to Aunt Shi." ”

Uncle Shi said with a smile: "There are many fruit trees on our shore, and there are still many fruits at home, so don't bring them." Xiao Ye said with emotion: "There are too many fruit trees on this island, it would be nice if they grew with us, how convenient it is to eat fruits." ”

The three of them continued to walk along the lake, when they noticed that there was another small island not far from the nameless island, which looked smaller than the nameless island. They walked briskly, and Xiao Ye said: "There are no big beasts found on this island, it is a good place to live on people, Uncle Shi, how good it is for your tribe to move to live on the island." ”

Uncle Shi said: "Our cave is very good and safe, the wild beasts have nothing to do with us, and there is no shortage of food, everyone is already living in it, and no one wants to move." ”

At this time, two wolves were found staring at them on the hillside, as if they had never seen anyone. Xiao Ye asked Uncle Shi, "Are there wolves on your grassland?" Uncle Shi said: "The most ferocious thing on our grassland is the wolf, but there are too many small animals on the grassland, and the wolf is not short of food, so it is not much harm to people." ”

They continued to walk forward, Xiao Ye found that there was a particularly large "water meat" by the lake looking for food, he said: "Uncle Shi wait a minute, I will let you eat "water meat", this "water meat" is not afraid of people, Xiao Ye hit it with a wooden stick in his hand, and beat the "water meat" at once, Xiao Ye bent down to grab the "water meat" and put it on with Teng Tiao, and saw a bigger one, Xiao Ye beat it with a stick again, and then put it on with Teng Tiao. Xiao Ye said: "This "water meat" is better than beef, you will know if you taste it when you go back today." ”

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ye said: "My wife is pregnant, the taste is not open, I was washed away by the flood in order to catch "water meat" for my wife to eat, and now the family still doesn't know my life or death, especially my wife doesn't know how sad she is!" ”

Shi Da said with emotion: "Xiao Ye, you are really a good husband." As they spoke, they had walked around the nameless island and returned to the bridge.

At this time, the shore was very lively, and someone was shouting that Uncle Shi was back. Another person shouted: "Uncle Shi, our trap caught another wild horse, we killed it, and we are waiting for you to come back." ”

Uncle Shi and the others were very happy, and soon crossed the single-plank bridge, and when they reached the trap, they saw that the people had killed the horses and the skins had been torn off. Uncle Shi said happily: "Cut the horse meat into pieces, each person will have a piece, and you can eat horse meat today." According to Uncle Shi's arrangement, everyone got a piece of horse meat, and they jumped and ran home happily.

Uncle Shi and the three returned home, Uncle Shi smiled and said: "Xiao Ye's trap has a harvest every day, and it doesn't take much effort to eat beef and horse meat, and I have to thank Xiao Ye for thinking of a good way." ”

Xiao Ye said: "Uncle Shi, don't say that, your whole family is my life-saving benefactor, I should thank you for eating this water and meat quickly." ”

He used a stone knife to cut the "water meat" into slices for everyone to eat, and the whole family said that it was delicious, fresh and tender. Xiao Ye said: "This "water meat" is bigger than ours and is not easy to be stabbed. Xiao Ye quickly cut the two "water meats" for everyone to eat, but they were not enough to eat.

The lovely Shi Mei said, "It's so delicious, I haven't eaten such delicious meat yet." Xiao Ye said: "If you like to eat "water meat", you can catch it every day, which is much easier than hunting wild animals.

Everyone had a very lively night that night, at this time, Xiao Ye said: "In order to repay Uncle Shi for saving his life, I must do a big deal for you, I think I will go back tomorrow, as long as you walk along the river above, you can walk home, I will bring you the fire at home, light the fire, eat barbecue meat every day, so that you can also live a good life with fire, in the future you will know, the day of fire is really good." I asked Shi Da to come with me, and soon we would be back with a fire. ”

Shi Dawei didn't wait for Uncle Shi to express his position, so he said excitedly: "Dad, I haven't traveled far since I grew so big, just let me go with Xiaoye, don't worry, we'll be back soon." ”

Uncle Shi pondered for a while and said, "Okay, you guys will leave early tomorrow morning, and it's better to go back early, so as to encourage Xiaoye's parents and relatives to worry." Xiao Ye was very happy when he saw that Uncle Shi agreed to go back with Shi Dayi, and made some preparations......

Early the next morning, Xiao Ye and Shi Da took wooden sticks and stone axes in their hands and took the beef on the road, Uncle Shi's whole family came to see them off, Xiao Ye said: "Uncle Shi, you prepare more dry firewood, dry leaves, and dry grass in the past few days, and wait for us to come back and light the fire." Don't send it today, go back quickly. ”

Uncle Shi said, "Okay, let's prepare some more hay and dry firewood, and wait for you to come back." "Uncle Shi's family still sent it a far, far away before going back.

Xiao Ye and Shi Da walked upstream along the river, climbed the mountains and walked around the mountains when there was no road by the river, and continued to walk when they were hungry to eat some beef, and climbed the big tree to rest at night. In this way, they walked with great difficulty, step by step, towards the mountain tribes......

Xiao Ye and Shi Da are the two of them, it has been the fifth day of going up the river, and there is no shadow of the mountain tribe, Shi Da, who has never been far away, is tired of walking for a few days in a row, but the determination is great, when Xiao Ye asked him if he was tired, he smiled and replied: "I'm not tired, no matter how far it is, I will arrive one day." "The waterway and the mountain road are indeed very different, one mile of waterway has to go two to three miles of mountain road, how far is it to reach the mountain tribe, Xiao Ye has no bottom in his heart, so he can only go forward step by step.

On the ninth day, the beef had been eaten, Xiao Ye discussed with Shi Da and said: "We have been walking for nine days and have not come home, and now we have nothing to eat. Shi Da replied, "You should prepare the food on the road before leaving, and it is not okay to walk hungry." So, the two began to look for fruit trees, looking for prey, and hunted a hare and more than 20 fruits in half a day, and the two of them ate while hurrying.

It's the tenth day, and I haven't arrived home yet. The two of them didn't care about resting, and continued to walk forward, and at noon on the twelfth day, they rushed to the place where Xiao Ye caught "water meat", Xiao Ye said happily to Shi Da: "We are almost there, you see that is where I was washed away by the water, and we are about to get home." Shi Da smiled and nodded, "It's good to be home, the family will be surprised to see that you are still alive." The two were excited and quickened their pace to move forward.
