123 Snake Cave
wheat straw
The position of the rhizome of wheat, in Zhang Xiangyang's hands, this fine yellow fragment is a fragment of wheat straw in the traditional sense. Baidu search, more good free reading.
After the excitement, Zhang Xiangyang quickly touched it again, and after putting his palm and part of his arm into it, he touched the two stones before.
At this time, it was already certain that there was no danger in the tree hole, Zhang Xiangyang's legs couldn't hold much time, and he couldn't stick to the tree trunk for a long time, so he quickly slowly went down to the tree trunk to rest.
"Wu Sang, give me the rope" Zhang Xiangyang shouted to Wu Sang below, while also paying attention to the surrounding situation.
Wu Sang took off the hemp rope he was carrying, and after using a little force, he threw a bundle of rope towards Zhang Xiangyang.
Zhang Xiangyang caught the rope, tied it around his waist and the trunk under his feet, and then climbed up again.
This time, Zhang Xiangyang did not wear gloves, and when his hands grasped the rough bark, the pain and touch of friction made it easier for his hands to exert themselves.
Lying carefully next to the tree hole, Zhang Xiangyang searched for the tree hole with his hand.
What he was most afraid of was that when he was touching the hole in the tree, something suddenly popped out.
Many people are born with a fear of dark food, especially dark holes, or horrors hidden beneath the surface of the water.
Zhang Xiangyang is this kind of person, and this strange feeling seems to be innate.
He didn't like to be near such a place, he didn't like to be near a river with a deep water, and even to some extent it affected the rest of the people not to come close.
Zhang Xiangyang only went to the ditches near the creeks and lakes to fetch water and fish and hunt by himself, and never thought of letting Zhang Hailing give full play to his swimming expertise and go underwater to explore anything.
For narrowness and not adapting to his own environment, Zhang Xiangyang generally retains restraint and refrains from curiosity and inquiry.
But man does not succumb to instinct.
Instinct can keep Zhang Xiangyang alive as safely as possible, not to take risks and contact strange things, but it will also keep Zhang Xiangyang away from some things.
Eating and waiting for death is definitely the safest thing, Zhang Xiangyang took his instinct to the extreme in peacetime, did not try anything dangerous, everything was just for the sake of living with lower consumption.
Today, unlike in the past, Zhang Xiangyang is gradually overcoming some instincts.
What others think is nothing, in fact, for Zhang Xiangyang, he is doing what he is unwilling to do.
For example, putting his hand into the tree hole is a dangerous behavior in Zhang Xiangyang's opinion, his instinct does not want to do such a risky thing, once there is an animal hidden inside, then according to the nature of most animals in this world, he must bite
However, everything is already in the past, Zhang Xiangyang excitedly took out a handful of fine particles from the tree hole, and after carefully taking out the things, all he saw was a bunch of red, white, yellow, and green particles
"It's beans and wheat"
Zhang Xiangyang quickly put these carefully into his pocket, and at the same time carefully took them out three more times, until he felt that his physical strength could not hold it for too long, and then slowly fell to the trunk.
"I took a break and found the seeds of red beans and wheat, there must be crops in the vicinity that we can grow"
Zhang Xiangyang sat on the trunk of the tree and shouted happily to the three people below.
Wu Sang and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, only by finding the seeds can human beings really have enough to eat.
Soon, Wu Sang and Lu Shiqin changed shifts and began to pull weeds and clean the ground.
The three of them took turns to rest and sentry, while Zhang Xiangyang continued to go up to hollow out the tree hole, and at the same time observed the surrounding situation in the tree. Baidu search, more good free reading.
Soon, Zhang Xiangyang also came down the rope.
When climbing the tree, it is relatively simple, but when it comes down, it is much more troublesome, Zhang Xiangyang chose to use the rope to slowly follow it down, rather than returning the same way.
"Let's make a fire, and bring this grass back later." Zhang Xiangyang looked at the weeds and plants on the ground, and now they lacked everything.
Wu Sang walked over, Zhang Han and Lu Shiqin also came over curiously, and looked at the handful of grains that Zhang Xiangyang took out.
Looking at these colorful seeds, Wu Sang quickly pointed to them one by one and said: "Red beans, millet, wheat, grass seeds"
Zhang Xiangyang quickly took back the things, carefully put them in his pocket, and said, "Collect them first, and empty the surroundings." ”
"Good"
Soon, all four of them started doing their own work.
The two men with gloves continued to pull weeds, while Zhang Xiangyang searched nearby for branches and fallen leaves that could be burned.
The red flames soon burned in the cold forest, and the vigorous flames illuminated part of the area, bringing a sense of peace to the surrounding humans.
Human beings have a special natural affection for fire and water.
From a young age, they have been trying to deal with fire and water.
This instinct continues to this day, perhaps from the ancient ancestor who was curious about the flames, or perhaps from the ancestor who lifted the burning branch and lifted the flame above his head.
Fear, you can live safely, but there are some things that you can't do.
Zhang Xiangyang did not succumb to instinct, nor did he reject this instinct, he just wanted to live well and live well with the people around him.
Finding food is not something Zhang Xiangyang is good at, but Wu Sang and An Ran are really good at it.
Enron can find food in the forest, and professional rangers will not only know the beasts and trees in the forest, but also know what is in the place.
Wu Sang is a professional wilderness survival expert, and although he is best at climbing and mountaineering, he is also good at many things.
When the land area was constantly carved out with the fire as the center, Wu Sang quickly shouted: "Come over to the sun, there is a snake cave here." ”
"Snake Cave" Zhang Xiangyang had never seen a snake cave, and after hearing it, he quickly walked to Wu Sang's side.
Wu Sang was crouching under a large tree, six or seven meters away from the small tree in the hole before, and near it were plants and weeds that were knee-high.
Some of the nearby weeds were pulled out by Wu Sangyong, and Zhang Xiangyang saw a hole the size of a football.
It felt like a rabbit hole and a fox hole or something, Zhang Xiangyang squatted down and whispered, "Why do you say it's a snake hole?"
Wu Sang explained: "The nearby plants and the location of the cave entrance, I used a branch to reach in and take a look, it is a snake cave, yes, I am not sure if there are snakes in it." ”
Zhang Xiangyang looked at the big hole and quickly said: "How can you be sure to expand the hole and continue to dig, or use water?"
Wu Sang thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be a particularly big snake, and it's still winter, let's expand the hole a little more, and wait for an hour before continuing to dig." ”
"Okay" Zhang Xiangyang quickly found a branch, and together with Wu Sang, he shoveled aside the soil and rotten grass roots near the entrance of the cave.
Both of them were very efficient, and in five minutes, the original football-sized hole was much larger, and there were no weeds around to protect them from the wind and rain.
After Wu Sang felt that it was about the same, he went to the snow outside and picked up a pile of snow and used the snow to block the position of the cave entrance.
Zhang Xiangyang found a handful of thorny thorns, and at the same time used a torch to burn the snow at the tightly blocked hole.
When the snow was roasted by the flames and turned into a stream of water dripping down the hole, Wu Sang used a simple fan made of leaves and branches to fan the wind inside.
The cold snow water continued to penetrate, and the flames at the entrance of the cave did not provide much temperature, but because of the snow water, they began to continuously absorb the surrounding heat.
Zhang Han and Lu Shiqin carefully collected firewood and plants nearby while paying attention to their surroundings, and picked up four baskets of fuel and food in one morning.
Lu Shiqin also found a plant that looked like a tomato, and a bunch of red rotten tomatoes fell on the ground next to it, but because of the season, no edible fruit was found.
Soon, Zhang Xiangyang, who dug the hole more than a meter deeper, found that the place below began to become spacious.
This is a deep terrain in the shape of a dirt pit, because of the penetration of cold water, the soil has become very soft, Zhang Xiangyang has been relying on tree branches to dig.
When a piece of dirt was lifted out, the falling soil next to it suddenly moved
A scaly snake head about three centimeters wide slowly lifted from the falling soil, and the surrounding soil began to slowly move.
When Wu Sang saw this snake head, he quickly said: "Although the snakes are very slow in winter, be careful, Zhang Han, Shiqin, come and help."
Zhang Xiangyang looked at the brown earth snake that was slowly spitting out the snake letter and was trying to come out of the soil, and took the branch that had been prepared on one side.
It's a tree trunk with a forked tip, just right to get things stuck.
Zhang Han quickly walked over, and after seeing the earth snake inside, he said cautiously: "It looks not small, it is estimated to be more than a meter long." ”
A three-centimeter-thick snake is no longer considered a small snake.
Wu Sang used tree branches to constantly pick up the soil on it, and after gradually expanding the area of the cave, the things in the original snake cave could not be hidden.
It's not so much a snake cave as a snake cave.
In this pit of less than a cubic meter, more than a dozen snakes are entangled, and they cannot be separated from each other at this time, and they cannot escape from here.
The cold atmosphere makes the movement of these snakes very slow.
Wu Sang said: "Luckily, I can go home when I put it away." ”
Today's harvest is already very rich, Wu Sang doesn't want any accidents, and the matter of those wild boars at home also makes Wu Sang very concerned.
Zhang Xiangyang looked at the four baskets that were full, looked at these snakes again, and said, "One basket can't fit it, there are more than a dozen snakes here, and it's okay to look like this?"
"It's okay, it shouldn't be a poisonous snake." Wu Sang poured the contents of his basket to the ground, and then directly reached out and grabbed the snake ball
Under the gaze of Zhang Xiangyang, Zhang Han and others, Wu Sang directly moved the snake ball in the pit from the ground to the basket.
The movements of those snakes were indeed very slow, and they didn't bite Wu Sang, they just kept struggling.
Wu Sang's movements were also very fast, and the whole process ended in more than two seconds, as simple as picking up something on the ground and putting it back on the table.
Zhang Xiangyang felt that his mood was very complicated, and he always thought that many things needed to be careful and careful.
In a situation where he was not in a hurry and was not dangerous, Zhang Xiangyang preferred to use a thicker branch to fit the snakes into it rather than use his hands.
Just like Zhang Xiangyang said, one basket can't hold these snakes.
The body length of these snakes is close to one meter five or six.
However, perhaps due to the cold weather, these snakes slowly shrank into each other under the grass cover after being covered with plants by Wu Sang.
Wu Sang lifted the basket with both hands and said, "There are thirty or forty catties, depending on the type, it should be the previous house snakes, but we don't have such a big house to raise these snakes." ”
Seeing that there was no problem, everyone picked up their things one after another, and by the way, they also extinguished the fire, and returned to Changzhu Mountain together.
Wu Sang explained on the road: "House snakes are snakes that were active near houses in ancient times, some of them were coiled on the eaves of the beams of houses, and some were in the soil pits in the corners of the walls, which were harmless and non-poisonous to people, and fed on rats. ”
"Generally, some ordinary people in the ancient south, in order to solve the problem of rat infestation at home, would not harass these snakes."
"In many places, unless it is an area such as poisonous snakes, the ancients would preach a saying not to kill snakes, and the audience was very wide."
Zhang Han said casually: "The south, I remember that the south also likes to eat game, snakes and rats and the like are not spared." ”
Wu Sang didn't want to compete with Zhang Han, and continued: "This can be eaten or raised, now these things don't need to be eaten, we are much simpler to raise, but raising them is also as food, and the role of protecting food, snakes do not recognize the Lord, and they bite everything when they are hungry." ”
Zhang Xiangyang had thought of ways to restrain rats before, but with his understanding of this area, he found that there were not many animals that ate rats.
"Now we are not qualified to be picky about food, let's dig a hole and raise it first."
Wu Sang also thought about it, so he said, "Okay." ”
Today's biggest harvest was the discovery of the seeds of the crops
When they returned to the foot of Changzhu Mountain, they saw the footprints of the big wild boar and the little wild boar in the distance.
When approaching the ladder, Ling Ling quickly lowered the rope and shouted at the same time, "Brother Xiangyang, the wild boar has not returned yet." ”
"It's okay, we found the seed" Zhang Xiangyang didn't care about things that couldn't be controlled, and said a good news.
The group quickly returned to the warm earthen hut, and after some discussion, placed a basket of snakes in the pit where the mushrooms were grown, where the temperature was just right, and it would not pose a threat to the people in the house.
Although Zhang Han proposed to throw the snake into the tunnel that Zhang Xiangyang dug, Zhang Xiangyang decisively refused.
Jiang Ruyun said that she wanted to save the red beans and wheat to cook porridge during the New Year, and if she could find the rest of the seeds, she would eat this.
If you can't find it, save it until next year.
As for when the New Year will be celebrated, this depends on everyone's own arrangements.
In the evening, when Zhang Xiangyang was patrolling the top of the mountain, he saw a large wild boar and a small wild boar walking back before it got dark.
Zhang Xiangyang took a basket of feed to feed the wild boar, and the big wild boar soon entered the pig hole, and after eating up the feed, Meimei lay down on the grass pile and fell asleep.
A few little pigs, no less than one.
Zhang Xiangyang quickly picked up another little wild boar and went out, this time still without a steel mane.
That night, they left the baby boar in the house overnight and sent it back at dawn the next day.
After eating and feeding the pigs, Zhang Xiangyang soon set off with a group of people to the forest to forage for food.
Similarly, after Zhang Xiangyang left for a while, the big wild boar took a litter of piglets and began to look for food in the sun.
