Chapter 2 It is not easy to live

After most of the day, Liu Xiu couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

He had a good sense of direction and did not get lost, but he did not see the slightest hope of getting out of the dense deep forest, and climbed to a high place many times to look, and as far as the eye could see, the vast mountains were still dense forests except dense forests.

What frightened him even more was that he saw many footprints left by big cats along the way, as well as traces of large reptiles passing by......

He couldn't imagine how big a python could be to leave a ten-centimeter-wide crawl mark on the ground!

I haven't seen any traces of human activity at all, so what if there is no one in this world?

It is obvious that the same kind of people are much easier to get along with than ferocious beasts, and although they are also dangerous, they will not eat you tenderly at every turn......

It's a worrying life.

Estimating that he would not want to go out of the dense forest to find the same kind in a short time, this time should be at least measured in days, Liu Xiu gave up this idea for the time being.

At present, he urgently needs a place to live, and only on the premise that his survival is guaranteed, he has the time and energy to slowly try to get out of this simply boundless primeval forest.

Recalling a big mountain he had passed before, Liu Xiu dragged his tired body back, and it took nearly an hour to carefully return here.

This is a towering solitary peak, and there is already snow in the middle and upper parts, and Liu Xiu visually measured that this solitary peak is at least 800 meters high.

This lonely peak is sparsely vegetated on the east side, that is, the sun rises, and at the foot of the mountain is a plain with an area of two or three kilometers, and there is a clear stream flowing down the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain converges into a lake with a diameter of about one kilometer, one side of the lake is close to the plain, the other side is a dense forest, and the exit is deep into the dense forest and I don't know where to go.

The reason why Liu Xiu returned here is because there is a necessary water source for survival, such a large lake, schools of fish can be clearly seen on the shore, which can provide Liu Xiu with sufficient food.

Of course, water is not only a necessity for humans, but also for animals, which means that Liu Xiu is likely to face ferocious beasts.

He had at least glanced at it in the dense forest, so he didn't rush to the mountain.

After carefully observing the forest for half an hour, he didn't see a large beast on the plain, so Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, holding a wrist-thick rice branch in his hand, which gave him a sense of security.

Standing at the edge of the forest, looking at the plains with fertile grass, a group of more than a dozen sika deer eating leisurely, and you can also see pheasants infested and rabbits jumping, which made Liu Xiu lick her lips subconsciously.

Wildflowers can be seen everywhere in the field of vision, the lake is deep and calm like a mirror, a wild lotus has bloomed by the lake, and swans are dancing, this is a paradise-like scene.

He had walked through almost all the famous mountains and rivers on the other side of the earth, and he had never seen such a beautiful scenery.

Liu Xiu, who was tired of deceit, chose a life like idle clouds and wild cranes, looking at the picture in front of him, he couldn't help but have an impulse in his heart.

Stay here and don't leave!

The mountains and water here are beautiful, except that there is no similar and slightly lonely, it is really a rare and excellent place to live.

Blue sky and white clouds, lakes and plains, snow-capped mountains and meadows, Liu Xiu really can't think of any way to refuse to stay here, after all, this is no longer the earth, and he has nothing to worry about in this world.

A close look at the herd of deer in the meadow shows that they are at ease and unwary, which almost indicates that there is no potential threat to their lives.

So Liu Xiu walked out of the dense forest and walked along the shore of the lake to the lonely peak, and the deer herd only looked at Liu Xiu curiously and did not panic, plus Liu Xiu did not see any footprints of large animals on the shore of the lake along the way, so this place should be relatively safe, and he was more satisfied.

However, there are two sides to everything, and this situation is not normal, and Liu Xiu was not deceived by the tranquility in his eyes and lost his judgment.

Last night he heard a lot of beasts in the dense forest, and it was so calm that there were no tracks of any large animals, indicating that there must be something threatening the beasts to not dare to approach here!

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu looked at the deep and calm lake, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

It's better not to go into the water if it's okay!

Walking along the shore of the lake across the plain to the foot of the mountain, Liu Xiu had no intention of climbing the mountain to look at it, first, his physical strength did not allow it, and second, time did not allow it.

After borrowing some dried fruits from the purple-tailed squirrel in the morning to satisfy his hunger, Liu Xiu hadn't eaten all day, and he was exhausted at this time after walking through the dense forest for so long.

When the sun was already setting at the foot of the mountain, Liu Xiu had to use the rest of the time to find a temporary shelter, preferably with some food, and of course, it would be perfect if there was also a bonfire.

Coming to this unknown world, his body shrunk to thirteen or fourteen years old, not to mention, there was only one pair of pants at the beginning, if it weren't for his rich experience in wild survival, Liu Xiu would have the heart to die.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, the vegetation on the mountain is not dense and even a little sparse, and the tallest tree in sight is no more than 30 meters, which is almost the same as a seedling compared to the towering trees in the forest.

Liu Xiu is not a geologist and cannot distinguish the geological structure of the mountain at a glance, so he cannot figure out whether it is the lack of soil on the mountain or the excessive salinity that makes it difficult for trees to grow.

After looking at it for a moment, Liu Xiu's eyes lit up and she saw a temporary residence she wanted.

It was a natural cave about three meters above the ground, about one meter high, five meters wide, three meters deep, and more than two hundred meters from the shore of the lake.

When you walk in, it is quite dry, with no feces, no hair, no footprints, and no smell, which proves that this cave is not a nest for some animals.

In this way, Liu Xiu's temporary foothold can be regarded as a landing.

"It's a temporary place to stay out of the rain, it's a little bit of a tree branch to keep out the wind, and of course it's best to bring in rocks to block two-thirds of the hole facing outward, and it's a small room if it's covered with mud......"

Looking at the cave on the rock wall in front of him, Liu Xiu suddenly had a plan.

The depression is three meters high from the ground, and now Liu Xiu is only one meter six in size, just going up is a problem, but this is difficult for him, he put the wooden stick in his hand under the stone wall to fix, and then carefully stepped on the top of the wooden stick, and after standing straight, he can reach out to the edge of the cave and go up easily.

However, Liu Xiu did not go up into the cave, but only took a slight look at the dry environment inside and returned to the surface, and then he had to prepare some branches to block the wind at night.

Since he had no tools in his hands, he had to fold some small branches with leaves nearby, which took him more than an hour to complete, so that he had a temporary shelter from the wind and rain.

Although he was tired and hungry, Liu Xiu did not feel depressed, after all, everything is difficult at the beginning, difficult in the middle, and even more difficult in the back......

At this time, the sun is about to set the horizon, and Liu Xiu is about to usher in his second night in this world.

He needed to replenish his strength or become weaker the next day, so it was especially urgent to use the time before dark to find food.

Carefully coming to the surface from the cave, Liu Xiu walked in the direction of the lake, he hoped to catch a fish over there, although there was little hope of catching a fish with his bare hands, but this was the best way he could think of at the moment, otherwise he would probably have to eat grass......

"The cave is three meters high from the ground, it is inconvenient to come down, it seems that it is not easy to find the same kind at present, and even whether there are humans in this world has to put a question mark, then I have to live in this cave at least for a while, so it is necessary to get a ladder, if you live for a long time, you will have to constantly improve the cave in the next few days to improve your living environment...... Regardless of whether or not you can find food next, you have to go back to the cave before dark, and it is obviously not a wise choice to go outside at night, pick up some dry branches on the way back, and find a way to make a fire at night......"

On the way to the lake, Liu Xiu had already turned countless thoughts in his head.

It's easy to live, it's easy to live, it's not easy to live, especially if you have nothing.

Standing on the edge of the calm lake, the lake water was clear and transparent, reflecting Liu Xiu's thirteen or fourteen-year-old face, and he had to really accept the fact that he had inexplicably become younger.

"Coming to a strange world and becoming twenty years younger, it's a pity that I have that wealth, but I leave it to my younger brother and parents, and they are enough to have food and clothing for a lifetime, I hope they don't be too sad......"

Muttering to himself, Liu Xiu pinched a sour nose, since it comes, it is safe, it is already a fact, so there is no need to dwell too much for the time being, filling your stomach right now is the most important thing.

Standing in Liu Xiu's position, the lake in front of him is not deep, it is only a foot deep until dozens of meters in front of him, and through the clear water surface, you can clearly see the fine sand and pebbles at the bottom of the lake, as well as groups of fish swimming around.

Looking at the fish in the water, Liu Xiu, who was so hungry that her chest was close to her back, almost didn't drool.

I really want to eat it.

Liu Xiu, who was once indifferent to the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, was eager to eat a fish at this time, even if there was no seasoning and he couldn't make a fire, he didn't even mind eating it raw.

Perhaps because of the isolation of this place, the fish in the lake are not small, at least Liu Xiu has not seen anything less than a foot.

However, the fish were in the water, Liu Xiu waded a little and the fish disappeared from his sight when he was frightened, and looked at his small hands, Liu Xiu did not think that he had the ability to catch fish with his bare hands in the water.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a fishing rod at this point......

There are always more ways than difficulties, and since there is no hope of catching fish with bare hands, Liu Xiu doesn't want to waste more time on this.

After a little pondering, he began to collect stones on the shore, and then used stones to enclose a circle of about three squares in the shallow water along the shore, opened an opening of about ten centimeters, and then pulled two handfuls of grass on the shore and threw stones into the circle.

"I can't find the bait and I can only use a handful of grass instead, I hope two stupid fish will run in tomorrow."

Clapping his hands, Liu Xiu resolutely decided to leave the shore, it took him more than half an hour to surround the stones, it was almost dark, he had to use the rest of the time to collect firewood and return to the cave.

In fact, if he had enough time, he would have more ways to fish, but time could not allow it.

On the way back to the cave, Liu Xiu's main task is to collect firewood and see if there is anything to eat along the way.

But in the face of the beautiful natural landscape in his eyes, Liu Xiu estimated that it was spring, and nature did not leave him edible fruits.

"Shall I be hungry all night and wait tomorrow to see if two stupid fish have run into the trap I made? Look at the sky and eat, or ......"

With a twitch in her heart, Liu Xiu decided to increase the source of food.

My foot was tripped and I almost fell, the culprit was a vine half the thickness of a chopstick, and as soon as her eyes lit up, Liu Xiu decided to use it to make a cover, maybe tomorrow there will be a stupid rabbit hitting the big luck into the set.

Liu Xiu could see clearly before that there were a lot of rabbits and pheasants on this meadow.

As for the group of sika deer, it's not that he doesn't have any ideas, but judging from his current situation, catching sika deer with his bare hands is tantamount to whimsy.

Hmph, someday......

Liu Xiu can do the set of catching rabbits, and when he was a child, he lived in the countryside and pointed to this bit of fun, especially after he liked to survive in the wild a few years ago, he learned some small skills, which was difficult for him.

Gently tugging on the vine that almost tripped him, a fluttering sound more than ten meters away startled Liu Xiu, but it was two pheasants that were alarmed and flapped their wings and ran away.

Liu Xiu, who was drooling at the pheasant in the distance, suddenly looked at the place where the pheasant first fluttered and glared, God, it was actually a nest of eggs!

Don't go hungry!

There are thirteen wild eggs, which are a little smaller than ordinary eggs, and the eggshells are a little bluish.

"Go back and find a way to make a fire and bake eggs to eat!"

Liu Xiu, who was so hungry that his eyes were green, did not give up the trap of catching rabbits, and he put down three of them, and the vine was long enough.

Then he made two trips back and forth to get the eggs and the firewood he had collected back into the hole.

The next thing is to find a way to start a fire.

When night fell, everything here was silent, the calm lake was still there, and there were ripples in the center of the lake, but Liu Xiu didn't see it......
