Chapter 6: Crocodiles? Alligator!
The children of this era certainly don't know what it means that early birds are eaten by insects, but they certainly know the fact that early insects are eaten by birds. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On this day, when the sun was rising, the adults in the cave had not yet risen, so they ran out of the cave to see the noose that had been laid yesterday. It turns out that these children are right, and the danger of this world is far more than ferocious birds and beasts.
As the night passed, most of the nooses were triggered. There are not many things to catch, and even fewer things to be gained. There were only two or three birds caught, the hanging mice were counted, the nooses had been bitten off in some places, and in some places there were only bird feathers or a little squirrel's tail in front of them.
Bird catcher spider, Wang Chuan always thought it was a legend, and now he saw a living thing, more than one, the size of a fist, completely ignoring the existence of human beings and making a web on the noose to eat. This rat crawling out of its mouth with a centipede should not be wanted. The harvest of this sleeve is not bad, if this snake with a bulging belly and can't walk is a harvest, you can just break its belly to see what it can eat.
Once again, the children were inspired by these gains. They said that they would rub more twine, that they would put this kind of sleeve in all parts of the mountains and forests, that they would catch all the birds, squirrels and mice, and that they would ...... Well, they didn't think about it then.
The boy spontaneously went to the mountains and forests to look for the two hemp, and carried them back one by one, while the girl continued to tear the bark and rub the twine at the entrance of the cave.
Wang Chuan felt that it was more reliable for him to weave a net. Not all birds go down to the ground in search of food, and when the noose has gone through the surrounding birds, the situation of fishing in the creek is repeated. If you look ahead, the tools have to evolve. I believe that it will not be long before we will have to use a net to catch the birds flying in the sky.
At the end of the day, a few boys who went out to fold two hemp wept and ran back in a panic. None of the two hemp were brought back, and one or two of them were scraped with blood.
Wang Chuan put down the work in his hand and asked them what was going on, but they were inarticulate and didn't make it clear for a long time.
There is one less child who goes out, and it is obvious that there is some danger. Touching their heads to calm them down, Wang Chuan tried to ask as simple a question as possible: "Where is he?" ”
One of the children pointed to the Yehara River.
Probably understood. These children searched everywhere for Erma, and the surrounding Erma was almost ruined, so they went far away. There were more shrubs on the side of the Yeyuan River, and they walked over there unconsciously. Then encountered the legendary danger from the Great River.
Now it's up to you to figure out what the danger is over there, whether the child is dead or alive. At present, judging from the emotions of this child, they should not be able to speak clearly or encounter something they have never seen before, and they cannot express it. Let's go over and see for yourself. Only after figuring out the situation do you know what to do.
Scratched children are left to stop the bleeding on their own. He took the uninjured child and took the stone spear and went to the river.
The child walked very hesitantly, and Wang Chuan himself walked very nervously. The unknown thing that kept several members of the tribe from coming back must be dangerous. But it's the unknown that makes people feel more frightening. As long as you figure out what it is, you can avoid something like this from happening again in the future.
Judging from the situation in front of him, he felt that it was not really that dangerous over there, at least the river was not so dangerous, otherwise these children would not have a chance to survive. Moreover, if it was a thousand-year-old python or a carnivorous dinosaur or something, their tribe would not have survived. Therefore, as long as you look at it from a distance, it should not be a big problem.
With these decisions, he calmed down a lot, and pulled the child and walked quickly towards the river.
Sometimes there are cognitive blind spots in the human mind, and as a result, they may doubt everything that is known. Wang Chuan felt that he should have thought a long time ago that the place where he was in the Taijiang River Basin, and that the only one who could make primitive people retreat in the river swamps in the Taijiang River Basin should be the Taijiang crocodile, why didn't he think about it at all before? Thought the rivers were prehistoric dinosaurs?
Although the prehistoric and post-mortem worlds are somewhat different, the basic situation should still be similar. Even if there is some deviation, it should be almost extinct in later generations, the legendary tame personality, body length of about one meter five to two meters Taijiang crocodile, now looks close to three meters in length, and more violently from time to time to jump up to bite the child who climbed the tree.
This age has not yet reached the time when this creature will become extinct, and God knows how many such creatures are still in the Yeyuan River outside. The tribe was able to survive in such a close area, and I don't know if it was a fluke or if it was a deliberate ration left by these crocodiles. There are no large beasts in this area, where is it because of the problems of the tribesmen, I am afraid that it is just to avoid these killers in the shallow water, right?
The children in the trees saw them coming and wanted to shout. Wang Chuan put a finger to his lips and made a silent gesture, then pulled the child next to him and quietly stepped back. He climbed quite high, and the crocodile's body was estimated to be two hundred pounds, and he should not be able to reach that height whether he jumped or climbed. Then let him stay for now. As for the question of whether he understands the posture of silence. In the end, he didn't shout, and seemed to understand.
The survival of the tribe will be a matter of later thought, and saving the children is the top priority now. Without the Titan bonus, Wang Chuan would not have done such a thing with a stone spear and a crocodile head-on, and his brain was not bad enough to that extent.
Go back and call someone first. When I ran back to the cave, I came up with a rough way to deal with it. The tree that the child climbed grew out of the bushes, and there were no other big trees around, so learning from the monkey to run away from the other trees would not work. In fact, if he had done this, the child would not have waited in the tree and would have run back along the branch by himself. In fact, they are not much different from monkeys in the trees. That didn't work, and the only thing left was to trap and trap the crocodile.
The adults didn't care much about the traps, so the hemp rope was not taken. It seems that slow learning is not a bad thing.
He took all the ropes with him, fearing that he would not have enough ropes, and brought a handful of rattan folded in front of him, and called the three eldest children, and each of them took his stick, and walked back to the position he had just taken.
You can't be idle on the road. First of all, we need to boost morale. Tell the three companions not to be afraid, they only need to set a few traps from a distance, as long as they listen quietly to their commands, and do not shout, there is no danger. I've seen it just now, and it's clear that I can come back.
Secondly, pack up a handful of suitable branches on the road, and hold a few suitable stones. Pick the pointed stones, the bigger the better.
The next step is to find a suitable place to set the trap and see how to lure the crocodile into the trap. It is believed that with ropes and other tools, crocodiles may not be dangerous.

After feeding the baby in the cave, my mother used to go to the door of the cave to take a look. In the past, she wanted to see if the children would run too far in the mountains and forests, if they would eat anything that they could not eat, and if they were in danger. Lately, she likes to go to the mouth of the cave to see what the children are doing with new things, what prey they are getting back, and whether they are full of food.
When did these transformations begin? People are old and confused, didn't this start after the day the fire was lit? This kid can make a fire, can find so much food, is a capable child, is a good boy. When you grow up in two years, you can go out hunting, and maybe you will be able to hunt the big guys and come back, so that everyone can eat for several days.
The mother was so happy that she came to the entrance of the cave and looked down, and found that the children were all huddled together, and there was no noisy atmosphere in the past. What's going on? Don't listen to the fire guy again, or who has a bad stomach?
It was only when she walked under the rock wall that she could see the two scratched children. Pull it over and take a look, it's a thorn scrape, it must have been careless walking. This kind of injury is frequent, just apply some saliva. It's just that you're all looking at what you're doing on the other side of the river? Also, what about the fire boys?
Mother is a knowledgeable person, and when the child told her about the situation by the river, she stretched out her hand and made a claw, opened her mouth wide to make a crocodile shape, and asked the child, "Is this it?" As soon as the boy was sure, she ran back to the cave, and without knowing where to find a horn, ran to the mouth of the cave again, and whined with her shriveled cheeks.
Blowing and blowing, tears came down.
It's still too late, Grandma comforts herself. The mountains and forests are full of vines and grass, and the only roads have been stepped on by feet over the years, so walking in the mountains and forests is not very fast. The hunter-gatherers set out at sunrise, but now it is only three poles in the morning, and these young men are lazy, they should not have gone far, they should have heard the sound of bull horns, and they should be able to rush back soon.
But why are these children so disobedient? How many times have you said not to go far, how many times have you said not to go near the river, how many times have you said that if you get close to the river, you will die. Why don't they listen?
She still remembers more than one time when the tribesmen straddled into the river by mistake and were bitten and dragged into the water by the big-mouthed monsters. Not only is that terrible monster so powerful that it is impossible to break free if you bite it, but its skin is as hard as a stone, and it is completely useless to hit it with a stick, and it is difficult for a stone spear to penetrate it. Run fast and swim faster. It's even more terrifying than the screams and angs combined. Why did these children run away?
Huo Yanzi is the same child, when such a thing happened, why didn't he tell himself, why did he bring a few children over? Monsters that can be hunted by adults can't deal with, where are these children still lucky? Let's hope those kids can climb the trees. In this way, when the adults return, they will be saved.
Even if you climb a tree, you have to climb to the top. Nothing could have happened to this kid. This kid can make fires, weave baskets, make sticks quickly and well, and make those ropes into "traps?" "Such a good child will lead the tribe in the future, and nothing can happen......
Mother's mind flowed, and she blew the horns harder and harder. The whining sound became more and more urgent in the mountains and forests.
