Chapter 3 Spring Water in the Stone Crevices
"Gu Cao, is there really water on the mountain?"
On the way up the mountain with Gu Cao, Lin Luo, who had calmed down a little, asked Gu Cao again.
Before, when he heard Gu Cao say that there was water on the mountain, Lin Luo immediately urged him to go up the mountain to find water.
Now, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Lin Luo felt that something was wrong with this matter!
If there was water on the mountain, why would the chieftain risk his tribe's warriors to go to the river to fetch water?
"Really, it's on the other side of the back mountain. ”
Gu Cao nodded firmly.
Seeing this, although Lin Luo was still a little skeptical, he still chose to go with Gu Cao.
Gu Cao's age is two years younger than the original owner of the body, and because of the fact that they live together, the relationship between the two is the best in the tribe.
Usually, Gu Cao is like a fart, always following the original owner's ass.
Therefore, Lin Luo believed that Gu Cao would never deliberately lie to him.
It took nearly half an hour, when Lin Luo was already sweating profusely, Gu Cao finally pointed not far away with a happy face.
"Right in front of me is where I get water. ”
Hearing this, Lin Luo immediately looked up.
I saw that in the place pointed by the valley grass, the plants there were completely different from other places that were about to be wilted, and they were still lush and green.
There really is water!
Seeing this scene, Lin Luo finally confirmed that what Gu Cao said was true.
In an instant, he felt that his original fatigue was gone, and he immediately walked briskly towards it.
When he got to the place, he saw that in a wet stone crevice, there was spring water seeping out of it.
And under the crack in the stone, there is a small bamboo tube, which should be placed by the grain grass.
It's just that the spring water oozing out of the cracks in the stone is pitiful, and only a little water has accumulated in the bamboo tube.
"Look, Luo, I didn't lie to you, did I? ”
Gu Cao picked up the small bamboo tube, handed it to Lin Luo with a smile, and said, "Your body is not well yet, drink it quickly!"
After speaking, he reached out and plucked a few leaves from the plant next to him and put them in his mouth, chewing and absorbing the water in the leaves.
To be honest, Gu Cao's behavior made Lin Luo a little moved.
Judging from the amount of water in this small bamboo tube, the water that Gu Cao gave him to drink yesterday was at least three or four days of accumulation.
Gu Cao did not hesitate to give it all to him to drink, which made Lin Luo feel that these primitive people in this world may not be as barbaric and uncivilized as he imagined.
"No need, I'm not thirsty now, you drink this water first, and I'll drink it next time. ”
Lin Luo shook his head and chose to refuse.
"Okay, I'll give you a drink when there's more next time. ”
Regarding Lin Luo's obvious lie, Gu Cao did not have any doubts.
After saying that, he immediately carefully lifted the bamboo tube and poured the water inside into his mouth, and then stretched out his tongue and licked it in a heart.
Looking at Gu Cao's movements, Lin Luo couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, looked at the shrubs and plants next to him, and picked a few leaves and put them in his mouth as Gu Cao did before.
Vomit!
But as soon as he chewed it twice, Lin Luo immediately spit it out with a frown.
Sour, bitter!
The taste of the leaves of this plant was far more unpalatable than he had imagined.
Am I really going to die of thirst here?
Lin Luo thought to himself a little unwillingly.
The little water oozing out of the cracks in the stone can't solve the problem of thirst at all.
In addition, it is not close to the place where you live, and every day you go up and down the mountain under the scorching sun, you may sweat more than the spring water seeping out.
Crossing over here inexplicably, and being dyed of thirst for no apparent reason, Lin Luo was obviously very unwilling.
Soon, Lin Luo's gaze moved to the crack in the stone that oozes spring water.
In the summer season, when the rivers are all drying up, there are still springs seeping out of the area, proving that there must be a dark river underground.
If the stones are broken and dug up, there may be more spring water gushing out.
Thinking of this, Lin Luo, who was originally a little desperate, suddenly burned with hope again.
"Gu Cao, go find a big rock. ”
Just do it, Lin Luo immediately turned his head and said to Gu Cao.
At the same time, he himself was not idle, and he also looked around and found a stone from not far away.
"Luo, what are you doing looking for stones?"
Gu Cao hugged the stone he found and looked at Lin Luo with a puzzled face.
"Smash stones. ”
Lin Luo smiled and explained to Gu Cao,
Immediately, he raised the stone in his hand and smashed it into the crack of the seeping stone.
Boom!
The two stones collided together with a muffled sound, but only a faint white mark was left in the crack of the stone.
Boom!
Gu Cao also followed Lin Luo's example and smashed it hard.
After that, he asked, "Luo, are you going to polish the stone tools?"
In the tribe, most of the tools are stone and bamboo, and there are only a few pieces of pottery, which I heard are still exchanged from other tribes with a large amount of jerky.
The current bamboo tribe simply does not have the ability to fire pottery.
Therefore, seeing that Lin Luo was about to smash stones, Gu Cao's first thought was naturally to polish stone tools.
"No, the stone was smashed to find water. ”
Lin Luo turned his head to reply, then raised the stone and smashed it hard.
"Water, can you get water when you smash a stone?"
Hearing that there was water, Gu Cao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's right. ”
Lin Luo nodded and said, "Water, lots and lots of water." ”
Hearing this, Gu Caogan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and immediately lifted the stone and smashed it harder.
Knock! knock......
A low smashing sound continued to sound, and after more than twenty consecutive smashes, the two of them gasped and stopped.
Lin Luo turned his head to look at the stone cracks, so many smashes did not achieve any obvious effect, only left some shallow pits on it.
You can't smash it like this again, otherwise the stone will not be smashed yet, and the person will suffer from heat stroke and hang up.
Seeing that there was no obvious effect, Lin Luo decisively gave up the method of smashing.
It's really that the current body is too weak, if it were the strongest totem warriors in the tribe, it would have broken the stone in so many days.
Unfortunately, the totem warriors of the tribe would not listen to him at all, and they would not believe that there would be water in the stones and rivers underground.
"Gu Cao, let's go, let's go down the mountain. ”
Standing up and clapping his hands, Lin Luo turned his head to Gu Cao and said.
"Aren't you smashing it?" asked Gu Cao, a little ignorant.
"Don't smash it, use another method. ”
Lin Luo shook his head.
As a person who has traveled from the twenty-first century to the primitive era, the most powerful golden finger is undoubtedly the wisdom in the head.
"Gu Cao, when I go back, you go and help me collect some ......"
Lin Luo walked down the mountain while assigning tasks to Gu Cao.
......
Sure enough, everything was as Lin Luo had expected.
Because of the failure of the water collection team yesterday, the orphans at the foot of the mountain today have not been able to get water, and each person is only given a small piece of dry jerky.
The taste of jerky is not very good, and I don't know what kind of animal meat it is, it tastes dry and woody, but in order to survive, Lin Luo still swallowed it into his stomach.
At night
After nightfall, except for the two bonfires burning at the entrance of the tribe, the entire bamboo mountain was pitch black.
In this world where there are no entertainment activities except for popping at night, Lin Luo can only follow the local customs and prepare to go to bed early.
During the day, he had taken all the hay in the bamboo house outside to the sun, and the house was simply cleaned, thinking that he should be able to sleep more peacefully tonight.
"Luo, here's what you want. ”
When Lin Luo was flattening the hay, Gu Cao ran in with a bamboo tube.
"Thank you, Gucao. ”
Hearing this, Lin Luo stretched out his hand with a happy face and shook it gently.
I didn't expect there to be a lot!
Hearing the commotion coming from inside, the smile on his face suddenly became even bigger.
And just when Lin Luo was happy, Gu Cao frowned and reminded kindly: "Luo, you don't want to drink this, do you? This taste is very difficult to drink, and the more you drink, the more thirsty you become." ”
"What do you say, how could I possibly drink this thing!"
Lin Luo rolled his eyes directly.
But it's hard to drink? The more you drink, the thirstier you get?
This kid seems to be very experienced!
Unconsciously, Lin Luo began to rummage through the memories in his mind about this memory.
Vomit!
The next moment, he clutched his chest and retched twice, immediately leaving those bad memories behind.
Subsequently, the bamboo tube was thrown to the grain grass.
"Put this out the door and get ready for bed!"
"Oh. ”
......
