Chapter 223: The Law of the Jungle

The smell of blood during the day is too strong, which may have attracted a lot of predators to watch, and the night will hide the killing machine, and it will attract killing.

He did not dare to be sloppy, so he cut down a few stout dead trees, cut them into two or three meters in sections, and staggered the branches and trunks to build a firewood pile more than two meters high, and put enough spare wood on one side, and when the sky was completely dark, he lit a bonfire, and he was half-asleep with the light of the fire, and the knife did not leave his hand to guard against the attack of wild beasts.

For most of the night, there was no stop to the sound of animal restlessness around me, there were angry roars, painful calls, sad wails, and lost sighs, scrambling, biting, fighting, running, flickering in the firelight and night, presenting a world of ghosts and ghosts.

It wasn't until near dawn that the robbers of all shapes* quietly departed, leaving only a lonely fire in the darkness.

It was getting dark, and Yongchang was woken up by the crumbling birds, and the crumbs left by the dried meat on the ground became their breakfast, and it seemed that there was still a lack of money, and they wanted to ask him for more.

Look at the lake, the fish heads and bones that were lost yesterday have disappeared cleanly, and it seems that they are all a bunch of timid thieves, arguing over a pile of scraps, and making trouble for most of the night.

If a real robber comes, he himself will inevitably have to fight. However, he didn't want to encounter real danger, in the treacherous desert island jungle, any damage could cause the hunters to covet it. Therefore, the two sides are at peace with each other and take what they need, which is the best situation.

Yongchang fetched a pot of water by the lake, boiled it with charcoal and filled the kettle, and the remaining half of the pot boiled meat slices, put a small bag of seasonings, and it was a hearty breakfast. Lifting the short knife and practicing on the field for an hour, and then washing in the lake, the meat porridge simmered over the slow fire was already full of aroma, hooking up the gluttonous worms in the stomach.

After breakfast, Yongchang fixed the bag of jerky again, and carried the bag along the lake to check. He had to find a temporary place to stay, and the food had to be hidden so that he could sleep soundly at night.

Thinking that the rainy season is approaching, Yongchang wants to find a cave high on the shore of the lake, so that he can shelter from the wind and rain, even if the lake rises, there is no need to worry.

But after looking around along the shore of the lake, he couldn't find anything that satisfied him. The shore of the lake is undulating, the trees are dense, it is rare to have a place that can accommodate and facilitate access, the terrain should be high, and the environment should be good.

Walking back to the stone platform where the meat was drying, there was a feeling of uneasiness in the distance.

A faint black shadow swayed on the stone platform, letting out a soft roar, with irritation.

It was certain that it was not a man, but a beast, and Yongchang sighed softly. He is much more wary of people than of wild beasts, whose strength is limited, and human beings are unpredictable and in dangerous situations, so they should be more careful.

Approaching the stone platform, I saw a tall black bear on the side of the jerky pile, this is a real beast, people stand up, I am afraid that it is two or three meters high, hundreds of pounds of weight, ordinary people are knocked down and compacted, and the internal organs are crushed.

The charcoal fire on the ground had been extinguished, and the iron pot where breakfast had been made was thrown aside, and the beast had probably tasted the delicacies of the world, and smelled the aroma of the jerky buns, and wanted to take the sheep with him.

How can there be such a cheap good thing as not getting something for nothing?

When he set out in the morning, Yongchang tied the bag with a rope, and he couldn't open it, and he couldn't move it, so he was so anxious that the stupid bear circled around the food, and kept roaring in a low voice, and his irritable appearance was quite funny.

Yongchang gently unzipped it, took out two grilled fish from his backpack, clenched the short knife in his hand, and slowly approached the platform, making up his mind to negotiate first.

Obedient fish eat, disobedient eat knives.

Anyway, we haven't eaten bear's paws yet, hehe.

The black bear stopped, looked back and saw Yongchang, and retreated as if startled, trying to escape but unable to put down the food.

It's not to go, it's not to stay, it's a dilemma, it's cute.

Perhaps this cunning fellow had already seen the new beast in the lake, and saw the horror of this monster throwing a giant crocodile to the shore like it caught a fish, and did not dare to face the monster's powerful killing machine, and the roaring fire at night made it dare not approach, and could only roar in the darkness to vent its infinite resentment.

Probably last night it didn't sleep all night, and the temptation of meat kept it hidden in the dark. When Yongchang was far away from the stone platform, he had the courage to come over to look for food, but he was arrested.

Continuing to approach forward, the black bear also slowly retreated, letting out a low roar, as if pleading, as if threatening, a whole bear with a fierce heart.

Yongchang deliberately teased it, wanting to test the limits of this beast, and did not stop, and continued to persecute. Seeing that it was getting farther and farther away from its own food, the black bear couldn't help but be angry, and the person stood up, couldn't stop roaring, opened his teeth and danced his claws, but he didn't dare to move forward at all, always maintaining a distance of more than twenty meters, ready to escape at any time. That dark and dreary thing is not easy to play with.

Yongchang suddenly raised the short knife, and a black light reflected the black bear's eyeballs, which simply broke its fragile mind, and ran out dozens of steps in the blink of an eye, seeing that there was no substantial damage, before reluctantly turning back. Confused, dazed, and confused.

Chase and not chase, fight and not fight, what does this monster want to do?

In the desperate and confused gaze of the black bear, a black dot fell from the sky and fell at the feet, exuding an attractive fragrance, looking at Yongchang and sniffing the grilled fish, the black bear was surprised and delighted, and even more confused.

A few taels of heavy, palm-sized small fish is a snack, Gaba Gaba is gone, but the taste of cooked food makes it even more entangled, dare not approach, can't bear to leave. For a moment, the man and the bear were at a stalemate.

One side is deliberately teasing, and the other side is entangled, which is very weird.

Throwing out a grilled fish, it was about twenty meters away, and fell on the stone slab in the middle, the black bear did not dare to approach after a long time, his eyes stared at Yongchang motionlessly, but the afterglow glanced at the food on the ground from time to time, and there was joy, expectation, fear, pain, and grievance in his eyes, and he had all the flavors for a while.

As the saying goes, people are old and good, bears are old, and they are also very smart, dogs, bears, bears, such animals are psychic, good at knowing people's minds, * a little, but also obedient.

Yongchang simply sat down on the stone slab slowly, his backpack spread out to the side, and the short knife behind him, not threatening at all.

Sensing the goodwill of the release, the black bear slowly approached, sniffed the aroma of grilled fish, kept shaking its nose, and immediately turned around and ran away when it bit the food, just like the dog that the family once had. I don't know where it came from, I came to rub some food every day, and I landed in the empty chicken coop when it was fed, but I was always afraid of people, and I threw a sausage past, and I could scare it into a panic, and I ran out of more than ten or twenty meters before I looked back, looked and looked, smelled and smelled, and then carefully picked up the food and ran to the side to enjoy it slowly.

Seeing this bear, Yongchang felt very kind, temporarily dispelled the idea of roasting bear meat and stewing bear paws, and took out a few grilled fish to tease and lure this stout and cowardly guy.

But admittedly, it's pretty smart, otherwise it's pretty much a pile of rotten meat, waiting to be cooked.

If a human becomes a hegemon in a certain jungle, standing at the top of the food chain, he will also be afraid in the face of unknown powerful monsters, and the brave way is to rush to death, and the smart choice is to be careful and tentative, trying to coexist peacefully and be safe.

This bear made the most correct choice, and tasted the sweetness, so he was a little nostalgic, lying on his stomach twenty or thirty meters away and smashing his mouth, shaking his head.

The grilled fish thrown at Yongchang's feet, it didn't dare to take it away, and looked at it with just one eye, like a pet begging for food from its owner.

It was still early, and Yongchang didn't want to spend too much energy on a pet, so he kicked the grilled fish away, picked up the bag, carried the knife, and prepared to build a temporary shelter.

He didn't want to lie in his sleeping bag in the rain when the rainy season came, and he couldn't find a ready-made cave by the lake, so it was completely unnecessary to dig one himself, just build a wooden house with local materials.

The stone platform is nearly five or six meters above the water, and it is slowly lifted against the foot of the mountain, so it will not accumulate water and is relatively gentle, so you don't have to worry about it even in the rainy season.

And the stone ground is more comfortable and solid than the dirt floor, but the foundation is not easy to do, there is no tool to take advantage of, there is no way to dig holes and erect wooden piles, and the square wooden house is not easy to build, only a semi-herringbone shack can be built, or simpler.

Just store some food, and then have space to sleep, just to shelter from the wind and rain, there is nothing to pay attention to.

On the rock wall near the foot of the mountain, I found a slightly inclined stone wall, held a straight wooden stick of about three meters, compared the approximate length, width and height, there was a height of more than two meters, nearly three meters wide, built into a long wooden house, about ten square meters, it was just right to live in.

Holding a stick and drawing lines on the stone slab, a foundation three meters wide and five meters long is determined, and the next step is to prepare the materials.

Yongchang picked up a short knife, picked a thick and straight hardwood along the shore of the lake, and slashed it down, and an old tree fell down, making the black bear watching from a distance startled, not knowing what this upright beast was doing.

It took more than 30 logs to spend half a day, and the chopping skills practiced in the valley for several months, and the big trees that have been idle for hundreds of years have to be easily cut down, not to mention the hardwoods that have been idle for decades.

After finishing the work, I didn't delay eating lunch, eating the grilled fish, I was cold and white, and I finished eating in a hurry, and the black bear not far away was still lying on the edge of the platform, curiously observing the strange behavior of this human being.

It was vaguely aware that its neck was not as hard as the trunk, and the incomprehensible danger made it even more afraid to approach.

However, the temptation of food was too much to resist, so I was reluctant to leave.

Yongchang took out a piece of jerky and two grilled fish from his bag, raised his hand at the black bear, but did not throw it over, making it itchy and scratching, writhing restlessly on the stone slab, scratching its head and scratching its head, and flattering it.

Yongchang tossed a fish over, then slowly approached it as it chewed, and dropped another grilled fish to stabilize it just as it tried to flee in panic.

Animals, especially carnivores, are very sensitive to hostility, as long as they are calm enough and do not show threat, even lions and tigers can approach, touch their necks, brush their fur, and even the tiger's buttocks.

Therefore, when Yongchang approached with a large piece of meat in a relaxed body, the black bear did not panic too much, did not resist, and did not run away, but only carefully chewed the food given by the strong, bowed his body, and expressed his fear, so as not to suffer a senseless attack.

Even the jerky in Yongchang's hand, it didn't dare to snatch it, and only stared at the food with burning eyes. Just like when the first wolf is eating, the young wolf can only wait and watch honestly, if it comes forward to fight, it will inevitably be scratched and bitten to the point that the head is bleeding and ravaged.

Perhaps one trespass will cost you your life.

This is the survival law of the jungle, and it is an animal instinct inherited from the genes of ancestors.

Yongchang tore a few pounds of meat into thin strips and threw them under his feet little by little.

The black bear eats right under his feet, and if he throws a little, he eats a little, and he is very well-behaved.

This is just the appearance of its camouflage, in the face of weak animals, it is still a brutal and bloody jungle beast, but its rich survival experience allows it to know how to attack and retreat, and its developed brain also makes it more intelligent and cunning than other jungle beasts, and it is more able to adapt to the dangerous environment and grasp the scale of danger.

It lowered its head and bowed its body at this time, not exactly in fear and submission, but in an adaptation and learning to deal with the new dangerous situation, and it was adapting to learning and learning to get along with another beast.
