Chapter 12: Shock
Liu Qing was startled, not because the fish wanted to bite him, but because the fish actually had dozens of teeth in its mouth, these teeth were not only many, but also looked extremely sharp, each one was like a nail, and the dense teeth made his scalp numb. Although Liu Qing was frightened, his movements were not slow at all, his left hand had already held the dagger, and his body leaned back quickly, avoiding the bite of the strange fish, and the dagger in his left hand was inserted into the head of the strange fish.
However, he underestimated the speed of this strange fish, and when the dagger was inserted, the fish's mouth had already bitten, although it did not bite Liu Qing, but it avoided the vital part of the dagger's attack. The dagger was plunged directly into the hard skull of the strange fish. With a "clang" sound, the dagger failed to break the skull of the strange fish, which shows how hard the skull of the strange fish is.
Although he failed to insert it into the skull, Liu Qing also used a lot of strength to hit this blow, and the strange fish was a little stunned by this blow, and fell stiffly into the water, and his body did not move so violently. Liu Qing didn't know what was going on, but when he saw that the fish didn't move much, he thought that it had just been stalemate for too long and had no strength, so he held the shovel handle in his right hand and hurriedly pulled it back, and the fishing line tightened again, dragging the strange fish to the shore.
Liu Qing saw that the strange fish was already half lying in the mud on the shore, his hand moved very fast, and a knife was inserted into the position under the gills of the fish, and as soon as the dagger entered the flesh, the fish was completely activated, and there was a burst of jumping and jumping, Liu Qing pressed the dagger hard, held the sapper shovel in his right hand, and smashed it five or six times at the head of the fish.
Confirming that the strange fish was dead, Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the dagger, lifted the fish up, threw it behind him, and sat on the ground with his butt. It's so fucking strenuous, this fish feels like it's only about a foot long when it looks at it from a distance in the water, and when it really pulls it to the shore to look at it, it finds that it's more than two feet, and it just fought with it, and I didn't care too much.
The smashed head of the fish sheds a pool of blood, staining the land around it red. Liu Qing checked the wound on his hand again, fixed the bandage again, then removed the fishing hook, cleaned up the ripped fishing line, and rewound it on the reel. After a few more sips of water, he walked a little upstream, refilled the kettle, went to the edge of the creek, cut some tough long grass, and picked a few broad leaves.
Sit on the ground, twist the tough grass a few times, make a simple and rough rope, pass through the gills from the fish's mouth, and wrap the fish with those few wide blades, and simply tie a few long grasses. Carrying the satchel, put the fruit picked before into the bag, a full satchel, almost unable to fit, looked left and right, to make sure that there was no fall, then lifted the straw rope, quite heavy! I am afraid that there will be thirty or forty pounds, the hand-held straw rope swings back, throws the fish behind the back, and goes home with the fruits of victory. Liu Qing is now full of joy, this fish is estimated to be enough for him to eat for several days!
In fact, the tiger leg weighed dozens of pounds, enough for him to eat for a while, but now that he has adopted Xiao Wu, in his heart, he is unwilling to eat Xiao Wu's mother again. It was pure luck to catch this fish today, and if you caught that snake before, you might not be able to catch such a big one if you fish with snake meat!
With such a heavy thing on his back, Liu Qing's speed was slowed down a lot, and he walked for nearly three hours after walking for more than an hour, but fortunately he didn't encounter any danger during the period, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to run away. Of course, this is a joke, if you really encounter danger, I am afraid that Liu Qing will throw away the strange fish as soon as possible, run away by himself, the fish can be caught again, and his life is only once.
When I returned to the cave, I heard the desolate wail of the little tiger as soon as I entered the grass, like the cry of a baby abandoned by its parents. Liu Qing's heart tightened, that kind of fatherly love was aroused again, calculate yourself, this time it was more than five hours, Xiao Wu was alone in the cave, he must have been frightened! Well, it can't be said that it is a person, but when this kind of sensationalism, don't care about these details!
Before anyone entered the cave, Liu Qing shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, don't cry! Aren't I coming back! Look what delicious food I brought you!"
Before leaving, he blocked the hole and erected a stone more than half a man high, at this time he shook his shoulder, and threw the strange fish into the hole, and then the man also stepped over the stone wall, and as he walked, he took out a fruit from his satchel, and took out a dagger with his right hand tied with gauze, and cut open the shell of the fruit, and peeled off half of the shell, and a round flesh stayed in the lower half of the shell, which was very attractive.
When Xiao Wu heard Liu Qing's voice, he had already stopped his wailing, stood up tremblingly and walked towards the entrance of the cave. It had been to the entrance to the cave before, and it was blocked by stones, and it couldn't climb over it. At this time, it was already hungry and thirsty, and eagerly awaited the return of its parents. Liu Qing's voice undoubtedly gave it great comfort and made it happy all of a sudden.
Liu Qing put away the dagger, held the fruit shell with his left hand, squatted down, and picked up Xiao Wu with his right hand. Xiao Wu excitedly rubbed Liu Qing's face with its plush face, and Liu Qing also responded eagerly, one person and one tiger felt like father and son. After making out for a while, Liu Qing sat down, crossed his legs, let Xiao Wu lie on his lap, wrapped his left arm around Xiao Wu's body, picked a little flesh with the two fingertips of his right hand, and put it into Xiao Wu's mouth.
When he was on the road, Liu Qing had already tried a fruit, and I have to say that this fruit was very sweet, sweeter than any fruit he had eaten before. And more than an hour has passed since he ate the fruit on the road, and nothing has happened, which makes him even more sure that this fruit is non-toxic and can be eaten with confidence. Because of this, he dared to feed it directly to Xiao Wu's mouth.
Maybe any animal in infancy is the same, there is no resistance to sweet things, Xiao Wuba smacked his mouth, and his tongue kept sticking out and licking his lips and Liu Qing's fingers. When Liu Qing saw it like this, he suddenly remembered the way he looked when he fed his son a bottle, and his eyes became more and more gentle when he looked at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu's appetite is very large, eating one fruit is not enough, and it is only over after eating one and a half in succession, the little belly is no longer so soft, it has become a little swollen, and it has a full burp, which looks funny and cute. After eating, it changed its position comfortably, its whole body was completely lying on Liu Qing's lap, its little head was tilted, its chin was resting on Liu Qing's thigh, and it fell asleep beautifully.
Liu Qing gently stroked its little brain melon seeds, and when it fell asleep, he gently picked it up and put it on the pile of hay. Xiao Wu lay on the haystack, twisted his body comfortably, and changed to a more comfortable position, with his belly facing the sky, standing on his four feet, and his paws drooping weakly.
"This little guy!" Liu Qing secretly thought it was funny, but when he thought about it carefully, it was not right, it was obviously learning from itself like this! After all, he slept like this last night, with his belly facing up...... Liu Qing suddenly felt a little speechless, and wanted to help it turn over, and saw that it was sleeping peacefully and very cute, so he didn't make a move, but quietly withdrew outside the cave. Before leaving, he also deliberately put the leftover half fruit next to Xiao Wu, so that he could eat it immediately after waking up.
Liu Qing, who retreated to the entrance of the cave, lifted the strange fish again, turned around in the cave, and finally hung the rope that tied the fish to a raised stone, and turned out of the cave. Although the water source has been found, the problem of food has been basically solved, and even if there is no other food to eat, more fish can be obtained in the creek, and the fruit there is also very good, but there is still a lot of work to do.
The first thing is to find some firewood, after all, he really has no interest in eating raw meat. Then there is the need to cut some thick trunks and branches, and find some tough thin vines, and he has to install a wooden door for the cave, so that he will not be afraid that Xiao Wu will be in danger after he goes out, and when he sleeps at night, he no longer has to worry about other animals breaking in.
In addition, he also wanted to find more soft hay, and make himself and Xiao Wu a decent bed in the hole, always sleeping on the ground like this, he couldn't stand it, it was full of stone floors, even if it was covered with a layer of hay, it was still too hard.
At this time, just after noon, out of the cave, the sun was shining outside, Liu Qing took a fruit, while eating and walking, maybe this sugary fruit was also hungry, he ate one on the way back, until now I felt a little hungry, ate a piece of compressed dry food, and drank a few sips of water, and then ate the fruit while out of the hole. With the sapper shovel behind his back, Liu Qing looked at the surrounding trees as he walked, observing which one was suitable, while constantly picking up dry branches from the ground.
It didn't take long for him to come across a tree full of vines, and he stepped forward to try it, this kind of vine was not as thick as his fingers, but the toughness was beyond imagination, and it took four or five knives with a dagger to cut it, and a thick white slurry flowed out of the fracture, Liu Qing sniffed it closely, and there was a slight sweetness. But he won't eat this kind of thing, because he has heard that when you encounter a plant with white slurry in the wild, try not to eat it, because this kind of plant is generally poisonous.
Liu Qing collected a large bundle of this rattan and planned to clean it up for later use. After about an hour, Liu Qing had already walked around the cave. Now he was dragging two vines in his hand, one with a bundle of dry wood tied to the back, and the other with a roll of the same rattan tied to the back.
"Bang lala" ...... " bang la la...... With every step Liu Qing took, the two bundles of things behind him would rub against the ground and the vegetation he touched, making this sound.
When he was less than 500 meters away from the cave, he suddenly felt as if the ground was shaking, "There is an earthquake!" This was Liu Qing's first reaction at that time! He had participated in earthquake relief and encountered aftershocks, and he knew this feeling.
But when he stopped to listen closely, he realized that something was wrong, that it felt less like an earthquake and more like some kind of shaking caused by a hammer hitting the ground!
