The hook was a scrap, but luckily he caught a fish that was enough to satisfy his needs, and in addition to that, he found another edible fruit. In this way, he can guarantee that there will be plenty of food for the time being. But this is not enough for him to store food, so he must also learn to hunt and hunt those animals, otherwise, once he has finished picking the fruit, all that awaits him is starvation and death!

Carrying the fish and carrying a pile of fruit, it was past noon. He ate the freshly picked fruits with Xiao Wu, and then slaughtered the fish and grilled the jerky, because there was no fishing hook, he no longer dared to waste it as before, and the minced meat on the fish bones was also carefully removed by him, and thrown into the faucet pot, so that he could drink a delicious fresh fish soup at night.

He tossed aside the rest of the skeleton, ready to be thrown away as garbage. However, when he saw a few of the fish bones, he suddenly changed his mind. Now he is poor and white, he has nothing, and there are only a few iron tools, and the reason why these fish bones arouse his interest is mainly because the bones in the belly of the fish are sharp, hard, and have some toughness, and in his opinion, some bones are likely to be useful tools. Although he doesn't know how to use it yet, he believes that such a thing will definitely have value.

So Liu Qing sorted and collected these fish bones, wrapped them in a few leaves, and put them in the corners. After the fish was removed, the water in the pot also boiled, and while it was time to cook the broth, he began to make arrows from what he had brought back yesterday. Fishing was almost the easiest way to get meat, but now that he had lost his most important tool, he had to focus on the bow and arrow.

In this environment, it is impossible to fill the stomach just by collecting fruits, not to mention that it takes a lot of time and energy to find fruits, the seasonality of fruits alone has limited food sources, and humans are not like those animals, just eat grass, leaves, etc. Unless he can grow crops, even if he has food seeds, he must have enough time and food until the crops are ripe, so hunting is a skill he must learn and master.

At the same time, Chai He was also close to Supan, drank the broth, added some firewood to the fire, and Liu Qing went out again. He didn't go out to hunt this time, but to collect firewood, the weather was getting colder and colder, if the fire was not extinguished all day, the temperature in the cave was okay, but even so, at night, it was still cold. This place is relatively close to the coastline, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively not very large, otherwise, Liu Qing is afraid that he will have to sleep by the fire.

The trees in the mountains are dense, but not as tall as in the primeval forest, the trees are much smaller, but they are denser, perhaps because they are dense, or maybe they are of different species, in either case, it seems that this place is indeed more suitable for animals. It's not that the kind of giant primeval forest can't be inhabited, Liu Qing has been there many times, there is a wider space, but the temperature is too great, the huge canopy completely blocks the sun, and the part close to the ground is wet, unlike here, although the trees are very dense, but at least the ground can see a little sunlight, and the humidity is much better than there.

As he spoke, Liu Qing collected a lot of firewood, in addition to the dry broken tree stumps that he picked up, there were also a large part of the branches that he cut down with sapper shovels and even some small trees. Dry firewood is naturally the best, but wet firewood is also good, although it is not easy to ignite, but it can burn longer, and at night he basically uses wet wood to press the fire, so that the fire will not be extinguished the next day.

Bundle the collected firewood with vines, drag it back to the cave, and then go out again, collecting firewood is not an easy task, it takes a lot of time and energy. Moreover, in the process of collecting firewood, it is necessary to always pay attention to the surrounding environment to prevent sudden attacks by animals. Normally, there is no problem, unless it is a predatory carnivore, otherwise the animals will run away as soon as they hear movement, except for the huge dinosaurs, of course.

After running back and forth twice, Liu Qing collected a little firewood, which could not be burned for a few days. But he has too many things to do now, and he can only concentrate on these things for a certain amount of time, and then he can concentrate on doing big things. Of course, the so-called big thing is also eating.

When the firewood pile reached three piles, the sun was about to set on the top of the mountain, Liu Qing looked up and felt that there should be another bundle, so he ran out again. This time he went a little farther, not because he didn't want to do it closely, in addition to the hard wood for the fire, he also needed a lot of hay for the fire. After all, he is now in the wild, and it is impossible for the fire not to go out every time, and sometimes if the fire is accidentally extinguished, he needs to rekindle the fire.

Making a fire is also a more elaborate job, first pile some flammable things such as hay, and prepare some small dry branches next to it, use a lighter to light this small pile of hay, and then press the dead branches on it, and when the dead branches are ignited, you can add some coarser dry firewood to it. Otherwise, it takes a lot of effort and a fire machine to light a dead branch directly with a lighter, and it does not guarantee a success.

And in the early stage, you can only add dry firewood to the fire, and only after the fire is really burning, you can put some wet firewood on it.

Liu Qing ran to a place very close to the coastline this time, where a lot of thatch grows, and those dead thatch, soft and dry, are definitely excellent ignitions. Of course, if Liu Qing doesn't even have a lighter and needs to use the method of drilling wood to make fire, then he needs more fine ignition materials, this is a later story, he will have a chance in the future.

There is a large area of sand with thatch, perhaps because it is close to the coast, and there is too much sand for trees to grow, so it is occupied by this thatch. When he surveyed the terrain before, he found this sandy area, which later occupied the tiger's cave, and he used the thatch here to make a bed in the cave.

I don't know what kind of plant these thatch is, they look a little similar to rice, but they don't bear seeds, they are soft and tough, and they are still tough and solid after they dry up, but they are still not as strong as vines compared to those vines. I don't know how many years they have grown here, there is already a thick layer of dead hay on the ground, and Liu Qing pulls down a pile directly from it every time he comes. He has also picked up these growing ones, but unfortunately with his strength, he didn't pull out a single intact one.

Today he pulled a lot this time, revealing the sand underneath, Liu Qing thought to himself, this time I have to dig a good tree to see, people, there is always curiosity. The sapper shovel dug directly, and the sand was dug very quickly, and the roots were exposed in a short time.

Dig it up and take a look, but Liu Qing is very happy, you can't see anything from it, the roots of this thatch are actually tubers, and they look a little similar to potatoes, but the size is obviously bigger. He had just broken the hook today, and was about to worry about what to eat in the future, when he discovered this kind of root. But there is one point, he must also confirm whether this kind of root is poisonous and whether it can be eaten.

Pull out a large tuber, one hand can not hold it, the yellow-brown skin, round and not slippery, from the top of the growth of a hard long root, the long root is connected to this kind of thatch. Cut off a piece with a dagger, the inside is yellowish-white, and there is pale white juice flowing out, Liu Qing tried to lick it, the juice has a faint sweetness, and it seems to be a little spicy similar to ginger.

Liu Qing thinks that this thing should not be poisonous, under normal circumstances, poisonous things taste strange, and there will be a bitter taste, this thing looks very similar to potatoes, but it is not the same as the taste of potatoes, but it is a little like ginger, so let's call it ginger beans! Liu Qing said to himself, he almost didn't know anything here, and if he wanted to live here for a long time, he needed to identify many things, so he couldn't keep calling them this and that, so he simply gave them some names. The previous velociraptors, coyotes, and poison ivy, he gave names. Xiao Wu originally planned to be called "Saber-toothed Tiger", but the Saber-toothed Tiger is the name of a population, so it was given an exclusive name, Little Five.

Next, Liu Qing started a happy excavation journey, and two large bundles of dry thatch had been bundled next to him, and even the thatch bales were ropes made directly from hay, which was convenient and strong. Then he dug hard. Don't look at the fast digging of this sandy soil, but these ginger bean grasses don't know how many years they have grown here, the root system below is already intertwined, and the grass roots are also tough, so it took a lot of effort to dig a small piece.

But this small piece has actually dug out a bunch of ginger beans, looking at a lot of dug up, it is not early, Liu Qing got up and jumped out of the dug sand pit, but he was dumbfounded, how to bring this pile back? Really, at that time, I was just excited, and I dug one up and threw it on the sand behind me, this pile looked like it had to be seventy or eighty pounds, and I accidentally dug so much......

Hehe, Liu Qing looked at this pile of ginger beans, and suddenly remembered a sketch, which has a sentence like this: Where to dig potatoes, where to dig potatoes, dig potatoes here, dig a sack? Dig a sack!

Alas! Liu Qing sighed, and after thinking about it, he finally decided not to bring them back first, just a few with him. Wait to go back and try to see if you can eat the bottom, anyway, these ginger bean grass grows here, and you can't run away, so I simply throw them back into the sand pit, bury them, and wait to confirm that they can indeed be eaten, and then dig them out.

He carried two bundles of dry thatch on his back, a large ginger bean in his satchel, and four more, two bundles of dry thatch were stuffed with two each. Picking up the thatch, he got into the tall haystack and was gone. On the vast sandy beach, the sea breeze blows, the thatch leaves rise and fall with the wind, and the green waves ripple.

(In the past two days, the wire plug-in board has been broken, and the computer can't be used, this reason is enough to make up for it!) It's really broken, just stay up too long before to make up for sleep.) It's good to be an author like this, write when you want, write more when you want, break when you want, and break when you want, it's simply the overlord of beggars!)
