Chapter 44 Preparing for War and Famine

This change surprised the savage red-haired father, and when he asked about the situation, he also dressed up in clothes made of leaves.

The "fashion wind" soon blew in Hongxia'er's tribe, and even those wild dogs learned to "draw gourds in the same way".

However, since they walk on four legs and rarely walk upright, they are a bit nondescript.

Just when the Hongxia'er tribe was in full swing, the escaped tigress finally gave birth and gave birth to three cute tiger cubs at once.

Originally, the tigress planned to take revenge after giving birth to her cubs, but the three little babies needed to be fed, so that the tigress could not move away, and it seemed that at least until the little ones could hunt on their own.

In this way, Hongxia'er still has nearly half a year to prepare to deal with the tigress's challenge.

After another three months, nearly half of the puppies (no, they can't be called puppies anymore, they have grown into young and vigorous young dogs like humans in their twenties) have met the requirements of a normal police dog.

At the same time, Hongxia'er also trained her adult children to be qualified, even the most difficult archery skills, let them master seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight or eight, among which the eldest has the best skills because of his hard practice, he can shoot wooden arrows to a maximum of eighty meters, and the archery error is within one or two meters, and two are up to about seventy meters, and the others are at least more than fifty meters away.

Of course, the bows and arrows used by these foxes were made by the ingenious red-haired daddy with his old knife.

Ever since she trained her team according to human standards, no, to be exact, primitive human standards, she had been eating cooked food.

It is mainly barbecued and boiled, all the prey is smoked and roasted, and the mushrooms and wild vegetables collected from the mountains are put into an earthen casserole and boiled in water.

Everyone is used to eating like this, and they think it tastes good and fragrant, and it is quite enjoyable.

Now the key is how to make the fire as quickly and best as possible, which requires finding the kind of stone that is most likely to cause a spark.

They searched for the mountains and forests and water springs within a radius of dozens of miles, and spent two days, and finally found a kind of white flower rock, as long as they held two of these small stones and knocked each other twice, many sparks could emerge.

Hongxia'er also ordered her subordinates to break down the stone into small pieces so that they could be carried.

But what to use for these pebbles?

Feifei, who has a human brain, is now Hongxia'er, the first thing that comes to mind is the cloth bag, but as a fox that is not even as good as an ape-man, where can they get these cloths?

Then, Hongxia'er thought of stealing human cloth, but the risk of doing so was extremely low, because the human IQ was much higher than that of foxes.

Since this is the case, then Hongxia'er has to think of another way.

There are two other ways: one is trading, and the other is production.

If you trade, you have to exchange it at an equal price, and Hongxia'er has too few valuable things in their hands, so it is difficult to do this.

There is only one last way, self-reliance, self-production.

But this is more difficult, she needs raw materials, spinning machines, looms and skilled workers, which can not be solved in a short time, at least a matter of years or decades.

Then it seems that the method of using cloth to hold flint and steel will definitely not work, and there is only another way.

Hongxia'er thought about it for a long time, but she didn't find a good way.

In the end, she finally had a flash of inspiration and found a solution that was both simple and effective.

That is, on each hill or every one or two hundred meters or so, find a large stone with a relatively obvious mark or under the bottom of a large tree to bury two flintstones, when you want to make a fire, take the nearest fire, and then put it back in its original place when you are done.

In this way, she solved the problem of carrying flint and steel without much effort.

Since the flint and steel were available, Hongxia'er and her sisters have become accustomed to eating cooked food, so that they are less likely to get sick.

However, there is one of the most important problems, and one that has greatly troubled mankind, and that is the food problem.

It is not enough to hunt alone, but also to collect wild fruits, mushrooms and wild vegetables.

But even so, there is still not enough to eat, so food crops must be grown.

Hongxia'er thought to herself: If you grow crops such as rice, corn and wheat, you have no seeds and no technology.

By the way, you can grow crops that don't require technology, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts, etc.

Thinking of this, Hongxia'er became excited, and immediately called everyone and asked them to go to the surrounding mountains and rivers to look for those things.

They searched all over the mountains, especially in the flat places of the valley, and after looking for half a month, they found three or four edible wild potatoes of different sizes and shapes, among which there is a kind of purple sweet potato that grows more commonly, and there are many places, so it is called purple potato.

In addition, there is a peanut-like thing with red shell yellow kernels, which is simply called peanuts, and it grows mainly on hillsides.

With the above two things, Hongxia'er can completely solve the food problem.

She told everyone to go around planting these two wild plants, which are the easiest to grow and not much to eat, and harvest them every three or four months, and soon they have too much food to eat, mainly purple potatoes and peanuts. After all, the number of "people" in them is relatively small, only a few dozen.

While solving the food problem, Hongxia'er has not forgotten that a tigress could come back to attack them at any time.

She set up many traps of various sizes in the forest near the cave, which were dug by the paparazzi she trained (not newspaper and magazine reporters who like to dig for lace news, but the paparazzi born to Feifei's wives) with the front two dog paws.

Now there are sixteen paparazzi led by Hong Xia'er (including the second, fourth and fifth), and the combat effectiveness is more than twice that of ordinary wolves, plus her six foxes who can shoot rockets.

Now that she had made all her pre-war preparations, she was waiting for the stupid tigress to come and die.
