Chapter 36: The Elephant Trail
Walking along the sparse forest passage is less strenuous. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although these roads have some potholes, there are very few rattan thorns blocking the road. At the same time, there were very few wild beasts along the way, and occasionally some pheasants and birds were seen, which also became the arrows of the tiger.
In Wang Chuan's opinion, it is not an exaggeration to call Bihu a sharpshooter. He shot arrows with a bow as fast as lightning, and the birds on the branches flapped their wings and took off. This kind of archery is enough to participate in the Olympics.
The bark of the tree was hot with the bow and arrows of the tiger, and with great effort he pulled up the bow and shot an arrow, but he did not know where to shoot an arrow. In order to save face, he climbed vines and trees all the way to find some bird eggs to show his ability, but now the birds have basically finished hatching the eggs. I only found some wild fruits to fill up. This season, the fruits are all ripe and sweet, which makes Bihu and Wang Chuan very satisfied.
During the day, I ate some jerky and wild fruits. Walking to the west, the cool breeze gradually rises. Bihu and Bark both said that the salt mine was not far away, so Wang Chuan signaled to find a place to spend the night, and then go to the salt mine tomorrow to check. Since it is called a beast village in front, there must be a lot of animals, and it will be more dangerous to stay overnight if you get closer.
Bihu's linen was used by Wang Chuan to make bandages and underwear. There are so many people now that even if there is, it's not enough to cover them. Wang Chuan had a better way to spend the night.
After confirming the location of the overnight on a sloping ground, Wang Chuan asked Bihu to dig a hole with a shovel. The hole doesn't need to be too big, just big enough for one person to lie down into. After the hole is dug, a fire is burned in it, and the soil is dried, so that when one sleeps, one can lie in it and be sheltered and warm, which is much more comfortable than the thin linen cloth of the tiger. However, for the sake of safety, it is necessary to take some precautions around at night, and it is indispensable to set up some rope rope sleeves around some thorns.
When the tiger digs a hole, he lets the bark cut the thorns, and Wang Chuan pulls the rope under the sleeve and picks up firewood by the way.
The bark didn't know if it was because of its lack of strength or what, and a small thorny thorn was cut for a long time before it was dragged back, and it was also bounced by the branch.
When Wang Chuan saw it, he tried to flick the branch, and almost kissed the bloody mouth of the bark without holding back. It is said that there are many treasures in the mountains and forests, and there is no one who can cut back a mulberry tree if you cut down a thorn at will. The leaves of this thing have the effect of dissolving stasis and stopping bleeding, just chew a few mouthfuls and put it on the bloody mouth of the bark and let him go and cut down all this kind of tree, and the biggest fat chicken at night is his, and put salt.
Wang Chuan's cooking skills are unique, and the bark of the tree drools and endures the pain. But I didn't forget to ask what this thing was for.
Mulberry wood, also known as oak wood, is a good material for making bows. Its branches are dense and flexible, with excellent elasticity. In ancient times, there was a saying that birds perched on but did not fly. In other words, the elasticity of this branch is so good that after the bird lands, it will be bent by the bent branch when it takes off. It is not unjust that the bark is bounced. And this kind of thing leaves can be used in medicine, and silkworms can also be raised, which is simply a treasure in the mountains and forests.
After hearing this, the bark rushed away. It's just that he has a pair of bows to be made.
After Wang Chuan cooked food at night, the three of them had a full meal, arranged the order of the vigil, and then went into the cave in turn, wrapped their heads and faces in animal skins and fell asleep. That night, all three of them slept fairly well. Even Bihu, a master of survival in the wild, thinks that Wang Chuan's method is very wonderful, and maybe he can spend the night in the wild with this method in winter.
Wang Chuan was in the first shift, so he could sleep until dawn. Before dawn he could get up, he was awakened by a loud and loud voice.
When I opened my eyes, I crawled out of the pit and saw Bihu make a silent gesture. He quickly reacted: this is a mammoth nearby!
The bark had woken up, and the three of them gathered their weapons and sneaked in the direction of the sound. When I went up to the top of a low hill and looked down, I saw that in the sparse mountain forest, the scene of mammoths fighting wild boars was being staged.
There are more than a dozen wild boars of all sizes, and there is a lot of soil they have cut through the woodland, as well as exposed stems and roots. Apparently they had barely had time to eat their breakfast, when the mammoths came to kill them.
What a beast that was! It is over five meters tall, covered in long, reddish-brown hair, and has long, pointed, and sharp corners of its tusks. Between its nose and flying, the big boar of three or four hundred catties is like an adult throwing off a child's toy, and the big boar is easily thrown away. Between its movements, the smaller boar was trampled directly into a pulp. Enraged, some of the boars sprinted with their long fangs and slammed into its body. The beast turned to the side quite nimbly, and the boar's fangs slammed sideways into its body, but it was as if neither of its long hairs had been rubbed off. Instead, he was kicked by the giant beast, and the boar fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Such a scene of fierce battles, Bihu looked at the blood and was excited. It's even more exaggerated than watching the finals of major competitions in later generations. The bark looked a little pale, and sweated profusely. He had seen the scene when the giant beast killed his companions, and now that he saw the giant beast in full swing, his head lowered a little, lest he be found out and could not escape his fate.
Wang Chuan glanced at the battle situation a few times, but was quickly attracted by a figure outside the battle situation. It was a little over a meter tall, a little more than the size of a calf. It was covered with long brown hair, had only one bald tooth, and two large, dark eyes.
Ignoring its mother's fight, it rummaged through the stems with its long nose and rolled some crispy parts into its mouth, and stopped looking at the food on the floor. Its eyes were quickly drawn to the honeycomb of a small tree, and it walked up to the small tree, looked at the honeycomb, which was only the size of a volleyball, and then put its nose in its mouth, sucked out the chewed stem, and sprayed at the honeycomb. Only the honeycomb was sprayed all over the place.
A wild boar who had been thrown out of the battle group by a large mammoth spotted the baby mammoth and rushed over with a howl. The little mammoth, which was clearly more than two laps larger than the boar, cowered into the bushes behind it when it saw the boar rushing towards it, and raised its nose and screamed.
When the big mammoth heard the cry, he turned around and ran towards the position of the little mammoth, and before the boar rushed to the baby elephant, he pierced the boar's body and threw it out with a flick of his head. Turning its head, it rushed towards the herd of wild boars again......
Wang Chuan found that the mammoth was extremely fast when it ran. However, when this big mammoth was running, one of its hind legs was not very dexterous, and when I looked closely, I found that it was a little curly, as if it was a little disabled.
After a while, the great mammoth finally drove away all the wild boars and trampled all the ones that did not go. Finally, he raised his head and shouted: Ang! Then he also showed off that he generally broke a big tree with the thickness of an adult's waist.
After grabbing breakfast, the big mammoth began to feed its baby quietly, it rolled up all kinds of tender stems and stuffed them into the mouth of the little mammoth, but the baby elephant ate two bites and burrowed under the mother's body, and began to milk with the mother elephant. The elephant stuffed the various stems under his feet into his mouth, and peeled off the bark with his long tusks, and ate sweetly.
The three of them quietly came down from the mountain, and Wang Chuan asked softly, "Is this elephant attacking the dolphin tribe?" ”
Bark nodded. He was still sweating on his head, and his apparent fear still couldn't be calmed down. However, as a primitive man, his nerves are extremely coarse, and he should be fine after a while. Wang Chuan's next sentence thoughtfully made him fall into extreme panic.
Wang Chuan said: "The three of us want to think of a way, can we kill this elephant?" ”
