readx;
From August 26, the fourth year of the Apocalypse, that is, the day when Zhu Youzhen confirmed his exile, he and Li Zhenyan began to make active preparations for returning to the mainland. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, before all the work was carried out, Zhu Youzhen also completed one of the most important tasks: erecting a monument. He erected a large stone on the east and west headlands, as well as on the top of the main peak of the island, Gaohua Mountain, and then chiseled five big characters with the stones: China.
Although the handwriting is crooked, it can be regarded as a clear declaration of sovereignty, and Zhu Youzhen's national pride has suddenly risen, and he feels that he has completed a feat that his predecessors have not yet completed. In the future, if any bird country dares to make irresponsible remarks about the belonging, Zhu Youzhen will tell him: Open your dog's eyes and look carefully, there is a monument as proof, it is Chinese!
After completing this important event, taking advantage of Li Zhenyan's efforts to spearfish, Zhu Youzhen sat on the reef on the coast and pondered for a long time. There is no doubt that if you want to leave, you have to build a canoe. But it is still unknown whether he will be able to build a canoe suitable for long-distance navigation, and how long he will be able to build it.
Therefore, he had to prepare for both, on the one hand, starting to build the boat now, and on the other hand, preparing for a long life in it. The four things of opening the door are food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there is no need to think about it now, but which of the three aspects of clothing, food, and housing must be properly planned.
Let's talk about this clothes first, the latitude is about 25 degrees north latitude, which is not tropical. Although the temperature is still very high, it is like a hot summer; But as the direct sunlight gradually moves southward, winter in the northern hemisphere will surely arrive, and the temperature will definitely drop a lot. If you catch a cold snap again, it will be even colder, and the seaside is humid and heavy.
And now he and Li Zhenyan only have a grass skirt to cover their bodies, this thing can only play a role in covering shame, and after the two of them performed the Zhou Gong ceremony, they have been abandoned. It is obviously not feasible to keep out the cold by the fire and the house alone, because it is impossible for two people to cats in the house for a winter.
At this moment, a pleasant birdsong came, and it turned out to be a group of dozens of albatross skimming over the sea, happily chasing and playing, and at the same time taking small fish in the sea. This scene is commonplace in the boss, especially after Zhu Youzhen hunted snakes to satisfy his hunger a while ago, the natural enemies of seabirds have decreased sharply, and there are more and more birds perched on it, such as boobies, petrels, seagulls, albatross and other species, there are really a lot.
Zhu Youzhen suddenly had an idea: Yes, don't birds have feathers? Feathers are excellent for warmth, as evidenced by eiderdown duvets. In the past, I only thought about filling my stomach, and I didn't have the idea of beating these cute birds; But now in order to keep out the cold, they have to make some sacrifices.
So he hurriedly called Li Zhenyan and told her his thoughts. Li Zhenyan was overjoyed, because after all, she was the lord of a country, and she was used to living a dignified and elegant life, but now she was suddenly naked every day, although she was only seen by Zhu Youzhen alone, she still felt ashamed.
However, it is natural to have tools to fight birds, and the two now have neither bows and arrows, nor slingshots, nor firearms, so Zhu Youzhen can't help but make a difficulty. When he was still racking his brains and thinking about how to trap a few seabirds with food, Li Zhenyan smiled and said, "Don't bother so much, look at me!" ”
With that, she jumped onto a reef, picked up a stone from the ground, and aimed it at a flock of boobies on another reef not far away. Boobies have webbed feet and are good at flying and swimming, but on land they are faltering and clumsy. And they obviously didn't know the danger of humans, and when they saw a sleek beauty gesturing at themselves, they craned their necks curiously to watch.
"Go!" With a sharp cry from Li Zhenyan, the stones shot out. The birds were frightened and flew away with a hula, but they left behind an unlucky little guy who was beaten by Li Zhenyan and burst his brain.
Li Zhenyan screamed happily, went over and brought the dead bird and said, "In addition to feathers that can be used to make clothes, we have roasted boobies to eat tonight!" ”
Zhu You looked at the blood-drenched dead bird, and said with some unbearability and some worry: "This time it was hit, and next time the bird raised its vigilance, it won't be so easy to hit..."
"It's okay, with this bird, I can pull out its tendons to make a bowstring!" Li Zhenyan said confidently, "Bird tendon is more suitable for making bowstrings than cow tendons, as long as we find a suitable piece of wood to make a bow back, we have a bow; Then the wood is split into thin poles, and the head of the pole is fitted with sharp stone clusters, and we have arrows! With a bow and arrow, even the cunning bird can shoot down! ”
Zhu Youzhen listened and smiled bitterly: "I said Zhenyan, such a cruel thing as giving a bird cramps, you can do it as a woman..."
Li Zhenyan was so angry that Zhu Youzhen was happy: "How can this be called cruelty, let's also survive." If we don't use bird tendons as a bow, in case we freeze and starve to death, aren't we going to be pecked by these birds? You, sometimes you kill your enemies more ruthlessly than anyone else, and sometimes you have a compassionate heart! Didn't you kill the snake the other day? All beings are equal, snakes and birds are animals! I see that you haven't put down the butcher's knife yet, and you're going to become a Buddha on the spot! ”
Zhu Youzhen was teased by Li Zhenyan, and wanted to refute two sentences, but the more he thought about it, the more reasonable Li Zhenyan said, and it was irrefutable. Yes, natural selection, survival of the fittest, this is the cruel law of nature. If a nation or a country is weak for many years, it will not be able to avoid the fate of extinction. If you want to survive and develop, you can only make yourself stronger!
Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was thoughtful, Li Zhenyan thought that he was annoyed that he was too ruthless, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Look at you, why are you still angry." It's up to you to come up with the idea, and besides, I didn't mean to kill the birds, as long as we save enough feathers, we won't have to kill the birds anymore. Actually, I also like birds, how nice it would be to see them flying freely and carefree in the sky! ”
The speaker had no intention of listening, and Zhu Youzhen's heart was shocked. Yes, when a nation or country becomes strong, how should it get along with other nations or countries? Will they wantonly plunder, invade, or even destroy each other for their own selfish interests, or will they coexist peacefully on the premise of ensuring their own security, and each will retain space for survival and development?
At this moment, Zhu Youzhen already had his own answer in his heart. He hurriedly thanked Li Zhenyan and said, "Zhenyan, thank you for your advice, let me be taught!" ”
Li Zhenyan didn't know what she meant, but she still smiled happily: "How dare I order Your Highness, let's go to spearfish!" Don't be lazy! ”
