Today's goal is to get food, get the materials.

Descending from the Long Pillar Mountain, the three of them headed towards the river with axes and bamboo sticks in hand.

Zhang Han, who was holding a bamboo stick, was also thinking about the future, and everyone saw the difficulties of the camp.

"Wan Jing said, the food we consume a day is more than ten catties, and a jackal is enough for us to eat for two days at most, if it is replaced by fish and grains, we need a basket."

Zhang Han pointed to the straw basket he was carrying behind him, which looked like a basket the size of a normal person's garbage can, and it became difficult to be satisfied at this time.

Wu Sang walked in front of the way, in this area of the primitive landform, except for a few areas, most of the time there are vines with tangled rhizomes under his feet, and there are also strange plants that are taller than people around.

Zhang Xiangyang was still thinking about the information provided by Lu Shiqin, and said at this time: "Since this is Central China, the climate characteristics should be obvious four distinct seasons, concentrated rainfall, changeable spring temperature, and drought in summer and autumn. ”

Zhang Han thought for a while and said: "It's not what it used to be now, I think there should be some changes, we haven't been here for a few days, even if this is Central China, it's not the Central China we know." ”

That's true, Zhang Xiangyang looked ahead, "That's right, for now, let's find a way to eat first." ”

Zhang Han comforted him earnestly: "I know you are trying to find other survivors, at the moment we are in an extreme environment, the chance of getting help from others is very slim, everything can only rely on a few of us, even if someone joins us now, it is not entirely a good thing for us." ”

As the oldest person in the team and the most experienced in society, Zhang Han knows Zhang Xiangyang's thoughts very well.

Zhang Xiangyang has always been thinking about joining other teams, thinking about leaving here to find other humans.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, but it shouldn't be now, and it shouldn't be full of this kind of thinking now, and living well is the most urgent mission!

Zhang Xiangyang smiled wryly, "It's really too difficult just a few of us......"

Zhang Han said solemnly: "It's difficult, but it's not that there is no hope at all, we have food and drink now, and we have begun to prepare for the food of the day after tomorrow, we have killed and eaten wild wolves and wild jackals, and we have survived, everyone is optimistic, if a few of us don't go to the top, it will be the turn of those people to die." ”

Facing the elder's admonition, Zhang Xiangyang nodded solemnly, "I know that I have never given up. ”

"I know, I just want you to be confident, you are the youngest outside of the spirit, and you are very suitable for this place, don't always let us comfort you, you can go when you should go, say whatever you want, we will all support your decision!"

Zhang Han saw it very clearly, and he knew what was wrong with Zhang Xiangyang.

Wu Sang didn't disturb the conversation between the two behind her, she was not good at comforting people, and she didn't know what to do or what to say.

It took some time to reach the river, and the surrounding vegetation became much sparser, and there were only a few low grasses near the river bank, which were not long-lived, and the soil here was not suitable for the growth of plants.

After identifying the animals that did not have drinking water, Wu Sang quickly said, "Safe for the time being!" Now start fetching water and looking for food! ”

Zhang Xiangyang and Zhang Han started to act, Zhang Han took water, Zhang Xiangyang took the bamboo pole and spear and walked to a stone, standing on the stone to observe the surroundings.

The chirping of birds could be heard in the nearby woods, and Wu Sang looked around, looking for plants that could be used as materials.

If conditions permitted, she didn't want to go near the bamboo forest, and now she couldn't take any more risks.

"That's it!" Zhang Han stood up with the bamboo tube on his back, the four bamboo tubes that used water today were already on his shoulders, and there were still four bamboo tubes with water on the ground that needed to be carried by Wu Sang.

The safety of Changzhu Mountain is safe, and the draft is very inconvenient.

The last time it rained was too hasty, and everyone was not prepared, this time they have made a lot of containers to store water, so that more water can be collected on rainy days.

Soon, Zhang Han was in charge of guarding, and Wu Sang and Zhang Xiangyang began to look for food and materials by the river.

Subconsciously, Zhang Han thought that Zhang Xiangyang was more suitable for finding food than himself, which was the influence established by Zhang Xiangyang's several outings, in fact, both of them were fishing by the river for the first time, and it was impossible to say who was more powerful.

Zhang Xiangyang held a sharper bamboo gun with a simple processing at the top, looking at the fish and shrimp in the river, there were a lot of fish and shrimp in this stream, and he just stood and watched for a while before he found two fish. 、

Maybe it's autumn, or maybe it's because no one or animals have hunted here, and the fish here are not so afraid of humans, and they don't run away from two or three meters away.

Seeing that the fish in the water did not find himself, Zhang Xiangyang approached more carefully.

"The location should be a little further down......"

Zhang Xiangyang remembers that there is a refraction relationship, and the position of the fish he sees is not the real position, but a little lower.

If you have fishing nets, it will definitely be more convenient.

Zhang Xiangyang was thinking about the fishing net, and he didn't have much confidence in the bamboo gun in his hand, and felt that it might be more appropriate to let Wu Sang do this.

But when he hesitated, he remembered the scene of An Ran standing in front of him with a stone axe in his hand, saving himself from the jackals.

You can't always rely on someone else! I'm going to do something about it too!

Zhang Xiangyang stared intently at the fish in front of him, and when the other party approached this side little by little along the current, he slowly raised the bamboo gun to the shoulder position, and at the same time slowly moved forward with one foot, and the bamboo gun slowly accumulated power backwards.

It's a big gray-white fish, not the kind of small fish, it's the kind of big fish that can't fit on two plates!

It is almost half a meter long, and most of the scales on its body are silvery-white, black near the head, and dark gray on the side of the body, and it seems to be eating something with its mouth open at this time, very close to the surface of the water.

After the fish got closer and closer to him, Zhang Xiangyang, who had long been ready to attack, stabbed the bamboo gun in his hand into the water!

Zhang Xiangyang also wanted to run away quickly after seeing that the fish had moved, but at this time, the sudden feeling transmitted from the bamboo spear in his hand made Zhang Xiangyang excitedly put the spear under the water.

"Come on! I've caught a fish! A big fish!! ”

Zhang Xiangyang shouted excitedly, in the middle of the water, a big fish was constantly slapping the bottom of the water full of silt and fallen leaves, making the surroundings turbid.

Zhang Han and Wu Sang quickly approached, Wu Sang rolled up his sleeves to his shoulders, bent down and slowly touched his hands underwater.

"Zhang Han, basket!" Wu Sang touched the fish that was constantly swinging in the water, and after feeling the general size of the fish, he became more cautious.

Zhang Han hurriedly brought the basket on his back to the water, "Here!" ”

Wu Sang grabbed the fish under the water with both hands, Zhang Xiangyang let go of the bamboo, and soon a big fish appeared in the eyes of the two.

The next moment, the fish was stuffed into the back basket.

Wu Sang felt a little more at ease in his heart, and said to Zhang Han: "Find a few thin branches and insert them on both sides of the basket to prevent this fish from jumping out." ”

"Good!" Seeing the harvest in hand, Zhang Han worked extra hard.

Wu Sang also smiled, "This fish weighs fifteen or sixteen catties, it looks like it should be silver carp, let's see if we can catch a few more." ”

Zhang Xiangyang nodded, after having a successful experience, he had more confidence in his heart.

Wu Sang did not forget his mission this time, and after seeing that the food had been harvested, he concentrated on finding materials that could be woven.

These materials are not difficult, and the most important thing in the nearby plants is some vigorous vines, and some tough leaves.

Near noon, Zhang Xiangyang caught another fish, and luckily found an old turtle trying to crawl away in the muddy water on the shore.

Because of the lack of water, the three of them cleaned up the two big silver carp by the river, threw the fish intestines and other things in the water, and let the stream wash away.

If left on the shore, it will soon attract terrestrial beasts, and if it floats down the flowing stream, it will soon be digested by the creatures downstream.

The old turtle with the big plate was put in a basket and brought back to eat when there was a shortage of food.

On the way back, the three of them did not relax their vigilance, and it was not until they climbed Changzhu Mountain that they really showed a relieved expression.

However, the sky suddenly became overcast, as everyone waited for lunch while doing their light work.

Zhang Xiangyang, who was making tools outside with Zhang Bin, looked at the sky and found that he didn't know when, a large number of dark clouds had gathered in the distance, the sky was dark, and the jujube trees in the distance began to shake.

"The wind is blowing...... Zhang Bin felt the direction of the wind, revealing an anxious expression, "It's the southeast wind!" ”

Southeasterly wind? What happened to the southeast wind?

Zhang Xiangyang didn't understand, but when he saw Zhang Bin's anxious appearance, he quickly said, "I'll go and ask someone to come out and put things away, and you can clean up this place too." ”

"Good!" While Zhang Bin agreed, he began to clean up the things on the ground.

After Zhang Xiangyang walked to the edge of the house, he shouted: "Come out to collect things, it's going to rain!" Hurry up! ”

Wu Sang and the others quickly ran out, and after Zhang Han saw the sky in the distance, he said anxiously: "It's the southeast wind, and last time it was the north wind." ”

Wu Sang walked out quickly, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Hurry up and collect things!" Zhang Han and I put the ladder up together, Xiangyang, you be careful of the wound, go back to the house! The rest of the people are quicker! Put all the firewood in the house before it rains! ”

Everyone acted quickly, including Lu Shiqin, and everyone worked hard to collect the things to dry.

In addition to the materials used to make props, the rest are ingredients, building materials, and firewood used to ignite.

Zhang Xiangyang stood in place, the wind was gradually increasing, and he wanted to do something at this time, not stand here.

When Wan Jing returned to the house with the haystack, she saw Zhang Xiangyang standing in front and wanted to help her get her things back, so she said anxiously: "Xiangyang, don't stand here and get in the way, hurry up and enter the house, just leave this matter to us!" ”

"Xiangyang, come in and help me." An Ran heard the movement outside, so he called Zhang Xiangyang.

Hearing An Ran's voice, Zhang Xiangyang quickly walked into the house and asked with concern, "An Ran, what do you want me to do?" Are you feeling unwell? ”

"No, don't think that if you go out hunting, it means that everyone thinks that you are a healthy person, your injuries are not much lighter than mine, don't despise your body too much, sometimes you just lower your head and pick up something, you will die."

Listening to An Ran's words, Zhang Xiangyang touched his neck with one hand, which had been wrapped in circles of cloth.

Beneath the strip of cloth was a hideous wound that went deep into the neck.

Sighing softly, Zhang Xiangyang sat next to An Ran, "I know, I won't trouble everyone at this time." ”

"yes, now it's enough for the two of us to huddle together to keep warm." An Ran smiled and said gently: "It's not that everything has to be you, you've done enough." ”

Zhang Xiangyang nodded, watching the rest of the people busy, like ants on a hot pot, constantly moving useful and useless things back to the house.

Nature didn't give everyone much time to react, and when the last pile of hay was moved into the house, Wu Sang and Lu Shiqin were wet by the sudden rainstorm because they were at the end.

The ladder had been crushed by the stones, and the dried things had been collected back into the house.

At the door of the house, there are water tanks and basins for storing water, and the puddle was also expanded by Lu Shiqin and Wan Jing in the morning.

The windows that fell during the construction of the house were also made into a slot-type bamboo cover by Zhang Bin with fragments of bamboo, and the skylight was covered with mud and leaves to prevent rain.
