Chapter 192: You Gotta Help Me Again
Wang Yang frowned slightly, and didn't know what to do, the old elephant couldn't climb out of the crack on the ground by himself, and he had no companions, he was isolated, and he couldn't say that he had to stay here until he died in the last days.
He pondered slightly, led everyone down the cracks in the ground, and approached the old elephant.
The old elephant had lived for a long time, and a sadness appeared in his cloudy eyes, and he looked at the corpse of the female elephant on the side, and shouted at everyone a few times to prevent everyone from approaching.
Wang Yang had to slow down, signaling everyone to stop, not to anger the old elephant, at this time the last thing he wanted to encounter was to fight hard with the old elephant, it had a strong advantage in the cracks of the ground, and could destroy everyone.
Of course, as long as Wang Yang wants to kill the old elephant, it is very simple, he only needs to get out of the crack in the ground and attack remotely from above.
He didn't want to kill the old elephant, the female elephant had enough carcass to fill up the food supply and hit the road.
They will never stay here for too long, and it will be a waste if they kill too much and cannot take them away.
The people were very cautious, and when they saw that the old elephant was still reluctant to give up the carcass of the female elephant, they began to cut down the trees.
They need to make and accumulate dry firewood, which is an essential part of the future migration route or the drying and preservation of female elephant carcasses.
They cut down the barkless trees first, prioritizing areas that were too dense, not wanting to destroy the grove.
The next day, Wang Yang and the others approached the old elephant again, their purpose was obvious, the old elephant had experienced a long time, and he also understood what they wanted to do.
But it still can't give up, and waits for it.
Wang Yang and the others were not in a hurry and continued to chop wood.
Day 3. Wang Yang and the others approached again, this time. The old elephant howled a few times at the corpse of the female elephant and slowly retreated. I came to the end of the crack in the ground, and I couldn't bear to look back.
Wang Yang and the others rushed up and began to dissect the female elephant carcass, and they had to empty the internal organs as soon as possible and drain the blood to avoid decomposition.
The blood of animals is very nutritious and contains salt that the human body needs and cannot be wasted, especially mammoths. They will seek out stones and dirt with a high salt content to eat.
It has to be said that animals also have their own special aspects, which are difficult for humans to imagine, just like many birds eat small sand to help digestion.
However, it is still the most intelligent human beings who know how to process meat with fire to help digestion and absorption.
Having said that, blood can be drunk, and Wang Yang and others will never waste it, because there are many trace elements in the blood, which are good for the body.
So bloodletting does not mean to waste blood. Instead, they took animal skins and put them in them for later consumption.
For the next ten days, everyone smoked their food dry, and there was a heavy snowfall during this time. Harassed a bit, but nothing was done.
Ten days later, everyone had saved all their food. Everyone carried no less than 100 catties of food, which could last for two months.
Moreover. There was still a thousand catties of food that could not be taken away, so Wang Yang and the others still smoked the food dry.
This time. They looked at the old mammoth again, the old elephant has been depressed for more than ten days, very quiet, without its companions, it can only live alone.
The grove here can make it live for a long time, but it is like a cage with no freedom.
The exorcist and the others looked at Wang Yang again, what should they do now? Do you kill it, or move on?
Wang Yang painted and told them not to think about fighting and killing all day long.
He looked at the snow-capped mountains in front of him and felt that this was not a suitable entrance to the mountain, so it was better to move east and find a better entrance.
The decision has been made, and it is natural to implement it immediately.
But before that, there was one more thing to do, and he had to get the mammoth out of the cracks in the ground.
He wanted to take the mammoth east, and if he could catch up with the herd, he would let it go, and if he couldn't, he would have to leave it alone, and unless he could find a smooth road, he would not be able to climb over the steep and varied mountain.
As for how to get it up, it's not that hard.
Wang Yang once heard a very interesting little fable, two mice fell into the cream, and one mouse gave up the struggle and drowned.
The other rat struggled and finally churned the cream into butter and managed to escape.
The old elephant at the bottom is a mouse, and if it comes up with it, it can knock down the tree and increase the height of the bottom, which is not necessarily successful, but it is a very effective attempt.
But Wang Yang had a better way, he pushed the snow down the cracks in the ground, so as to increase the height of the ground.
When the people saw him do this, they naturally followed suit, and for each pile of a certain amount of snow, they let people go down and take the barrel and beat it wildly, and compact it.
The old elephant watched silently from the sidelines, and gradually saw a road made of snow piles, and understood what everyone was doing.
The speed of construction was extremely fast, and all the snow on the edge of the crack was piled up, and because of the decrease in snow, the height of the cliff wall was rapidly decreasing, and the height below was slowly increasing.
By the next day, an oblique passage leading to the bottom of the crack had formed.
The people stood by the cracks in the ground and made way for the old elephant to walk.
It stood at the bottom, looking at the avenue leading to heaven, looking at everyone, and hesitated for a long, long time before slowly walking up step by step.
Wang Yang looked at it with some concern, he tested it himself, and let everyone go down, the snow track is quite strong, and everyone can easily go up and down.
But he didn't know what it would be like for a mammoth that was several tons tall to step on it, and whether it would collapse or not.
The old elephant stepped on the snow track, and the thick legs were pressed down heavily, and it sank quickly, but after dozens of centimeters, it quickly stopped sinking, and it was very stable.
"It's good to be useful." Wang Yang smiled and came to the exit to wait for it to come up.
It walked up the plain, looked out at the empty surroundings, saw not a single companion, and raised its head to the sky and cried out.
Wang Yang didn't know if it was crying out because of loss, or because he was happy because he was finally out of trouble, so he approached it cautiously and touched it gently.
It felt someone touch it and turned its head around.
Wang Yang was startled, afraid that it would give him a kick, so he immediately retracted his hand and took two steps back.
Then, under its gaze, he stepped forward step by step and touched it again.
Its fur is very hard, not soft to the touch, it feels like softened bamboo silk, there is a certain hardness, but it is not stinging.
The old elephant looked at him, and just looked at him in a daze, without shouting or leaving.
Wang Yang saw that it was not angry, so he beckoned to the chasers and the others, and asked them to bring the remaining 1,000 catties or so of dried meat.
The jerky was wrapped in a leather bag, sealed tightly, and all the mouths of the bag were connected with ropes, and more than 20 people were held in front of Wang Yang.
Wang Yang muttered while touching it: "Uncle, I know that you are not a camel, and you definitely don't like to carry things, but this time you have to help me and don't get angry." ”
As he spoke, he threw the bag on the old elephant's back, and suddenly, the old elephant was shocked, and with a force of his legs, the man stood up and threw off all the bags. (To be continued......)
