In fact, when people are busy, they often feel that time flies, and people who are often idle will nag and shout bored. Thirteen days seemed to pass after closing his eyes and opening his eyes, and Lao Luo under the jungle of Shagayu finally came to an end.

Lao Luo, who was wearing fat shorts made of brown and yellow crocodile skin, sat on a futon woven from elephant grass in the campsite, and in front of him was still the original bonfire, but on top were two roasted wolf legs, plus a hanging wooden jar, and at least a third of the flower was lying comfortably on the haystack next to Lao Luo, his fur had been completely changed, and the little triangular face finally looked a little rounded.

Lao Luo's side was a pile of freshly made throwing spears, and on the shelf next to him hung a shoulder strap made of the same crocodile skin, on which were sewn into a lattice, on which were Lao Luo's throwing knives, daggers, and some spare tools, and on the grass pile behind Lao Luo was a cloak sewn of rabbit skin, and there were also a few brown and yellow wolf skins with facial fur scattered and piled up.

Lao Luo was busy with a pair of shoes, yes, his pair of military combat boots were overwhelmed and he was honorably retired. Lao Luo plans to use a hardwood awl to pierce, sew the bottom plate with several layers of crocodile skin, and clip the hardwood sole and heel in the middle, and then make some straps with the same crocodile skin, so that the shoe can be firmly tied to the foot, well, this will probably be a handmade crocodile leather sandal.

Lao Luo is very laid-back and very comfortable, although no one appreciates this leisurely and cozy at present.

He has been full of excitement and harvest these days. On the third day, when he began to practice Jingyuan Secret Technique, he felt that there was a heat flow in his body that began to circulate in his body, Lao Luo thought that it was internal force, and at the same time felt that continuous practice would strengthen his physical strength and strength, and the seventy or eighty pound Ran Yu long knife did not feel tired at all after waving it for half an hour, and even his speed improved, of course, because he started exercising, his appetite was better, plus Hua Biao, a mini leopard, two carnivores could eat five rabbits and ten fish at a meal.

On the fourth day of this plane, a rainstorm soaked all his clothes, and the grass hut to shelter him from the rain didn't work, but fortunately his wounds were healed, and fortunately he kept enough firewood and barbecue meat in the ring. All the clothes were wet, so on the fifth day, Lao Luo had to run naked with his bare buttocks, but fortunately, this is not the Tanzania of later generations, and there are no dark-skinned policemen chasing naked runners all over the street.

On the seventh day, after Lao Luo finished making wooden jars, when he went to the stream to get water, he found two crocodiles, maybe these two guys wanted to find a place to lay eggs, maybe they were attracted by the bloody smell of Lao Luo's daily fishing or washing rabbit meat, Lao Luo, who had increased his strength, knocked them to death with the back of Ran Yu's long knife, just to avoid damaging the skin. To say that crocodile is a good thing, crocodile skin makes clothes, shoes, and crocodile meat can fill Lao Luo's huge appetite - because rabbits are getting harder and harder to catch, even if they are caught, they may be rabbits, not enough to fight tooth sacrifices, crocodile blood was drunk by Lao Luo at that time, because a comrade-in-arms once told him that crocodile blood can improve immunity, in addition to the crocodile's stomach was made into a leather bag by Lao Luo, the heart and liver were stewed by Lao Luo, Hua Biao liked this taste very much.

On the eighth day, Lao Luo found two large and one small three wild boars in the trap outside the camp, the wild boar skin could not be handled, so it had to be peeled and buried deeply, the pork was made into bacon, the pork belly, pig heart and liver were boiled in one jar, but unfortunately there was no cauldron, and the wild boar bones and crocodile bones had to be packed and stored in the ring space with large leaves.

On the ninth day, the wolf came. Not much, it's a small wolf pack, the kind on the grassland, I don't know what these death-seeking wolves are thinking, how can there be more prey in the mountains and forests than on the grassland, it's all in groups. As a result, four of the brainless wolves were all smashed in the head or back of the waist by Lao Luo with the back of the knife, and the other was nailed to the ground by throwing a spear. No one ate the wolf's internal organs, and Lao Luo only kept the wolf's legs and ribs, except for the wolf skin, the others were thrown by Lao Luo to the trap in the distance.

After beating a few wolves, Lao Luo basically didn't have to go out to find food, and was busy cooking the skin by the local method (as for the cooked skin process, there is a Mongolian Eji and a big brother who opened a ranch in the northwest family, do you still need to learn this thing?). ), use crocodile skin to make clothes, wolf skin cooked for exchange or spare, a lot of rabbit skin, made a cold-proof large and redundant, and made a few wooden jars and wooden bowls, breadfruit shells are crispy after all, it is really not appropriate.

In the remaining days, there are always prey that come to the door, Lao Luo does not refuse, as long as it can be eaten, it will be skinned or roasted or stewed, the fur is kept and ready to exchange things with the tribe, and the meat that cannot be eaten is stored in the ring space, a principle...... can't be wasted, the Chinese foodie attribute in their bones is adrift on the East African plateau.

In the spare few days, Lao Luo was busy making fine salt, because Lao Luo knew that the method of taking salt in this era was very precious, if East Asia was in the Ming Dynasty at this time, the salt industry was also an official industry, not to mention this backward Africa, it should be easy to exchange salt for some cloth or iron pots and the like.

Lao Luo's salt production is much better than the original, the dissolved rock salt is very turbid, like mud, Lao Luo uses a multi-layer clothing lining as a strainer to filter the insoluble sediment in it, and then pour it into the rinsed stone groove to dry, and then get basically white salt crystals, in the assumption of a distance of five hundred years in this time and space, it should be possible to exchange for better things. The collected salt is put into the crocodile's belly pocket.

These things are almost done, Lao Luo dismantled the folding telescope - to observe in the distance there is a single-hole sniper scope, that multiple is large, reassemble all the accessories, mark the scale, modulate the angle, and make a simple but complex theodolite, this thing, it is definitely not perfect, it still needs a few steps of conversion, but it is not a problem for Lao Luo at all, even if he is lost in the desert or desert, he can also calculate his position by star position.

The sniper scope was wrapped in crocodile skin to make a camouflage, except for a few throwing knives and daggers, compasses, and other things brought over in the original era, including shoelaces, all of which were packed into the ring space, and even the rivets on the rotten boots were removed by Lao Luo. Now in the ring space, in addition to these and the items in the original space, there are hundreds of catties of meat just eaten, as well as breadfruit, mango, papaya, etc. of various sizes, as well as two or three hundred short throwing guns, and twenty or thirty spears, most of which are made of hardwood such as sandalwood or ebony, as well as equipped with various drugs to prevent dysentery, treat internal and external injuries, stop bleeding, and repel insects or prevent snake venom.

In addition to all the items that could be used on the way, Lao Luo also collected all kinds of seeds from the vicinity, some rare timber from later generations, and even some ores, including some agate ores, as well as diamond ore and a small number of sapphires found in the upper reaches of the stream with good luck, these gems should have been formed by the eruption of Mount Kilimanjaro hundreds of thousands of years ago, and nothing can be found here in later generations.

Sewn crocodile leather sandals, put them on, it's not bad, the only thing to pay attention to is to prevent snake bites or thorns from scratching the skin on the legs, no way, no thick cloth these protections can not be done. I made a pair of shin guards, which is very simple to cut and wrap around the calf with crocodile skin, thicken the front, taper the edge of the skin, and then tie it with a leather rope through the skin hole at the position of the calf, this thing can effectively solve the fatigue of walking legs, and has a certain protective effect.

Doing all this, eating roast wolf legs and drinking fish fillet porridge, Lao Luo thought about his thoughts in the past few days. Africa is not a place to stay for a long time, and it is better to go back to Asia or your hometown. As for how to go back, it is nothing more than two roads, land and water, anyway, the air route is unrealistic, there is no technical reserve to make hot air balloons, the land route is too far, it is estimated that you need to detour the half corner of Somalia to Djibouti in the future, cross the Red Sea and then cross the Arabian Peninsula, to Abu Dhabi or bypass Kuwait, and then have to cross the entire Eurasian continent to return to the Central Plains, and the waterway is only to take a boat to Sri Lanka, India, Malacca, and then through the South China Sea, the two are almost equal to the same weight, in this era should be full of danger and unknown.

It is difficult to walk by land, and it takes more time to cross many areas that may be at war; But is it easy to travel by sea? Sailing on the sea in this era is not as simple as that of later generations, with dilapidated sailboats that may leak at any time, irresistible wind and waves, plus the possibility of scurvy from losing foster care, and even the port cities where they are stationed are not necessarily safe.

It's hard to choose, if you jump 500 years, then from here to the nearest seaport in eastern Africa directly to the east should be Mombasa, a straight line distance of about 160 kilometers, if you take the overland, then it is through the grasslands in the north to the position of Nairobi in the future, and then go north around Lake Turkana and take the Great Rift Valley line to Djibouti.

The only variable at the moment is that there is no certainty about the current time, and I don't know what is going on in Nairobi, but Mombasa is a port built by the Arabs in the 11th century, and at least the Arabs can know the current era. The city of Nairobi did not begin to have a history until the second half of the 19th century, and it may have been a wasteland, just kidding, why not go there and discuss the Great Voyage with the tribal chieftains?

It's decided to leave for Mombasa tomorrow.
