Getting into the tall grass, Liu Qing quickly found the familiar beast path, which he had walked many times, and he was almost familiar with it, and he could go to the end with his eyes closed. By the time the sun had set, he had just returned to the cave, but fortunately he had not encountered any danger along the way. At the same time, he also discovered a phenomenon, often near the evening, the mountain forest is the quietest, those nocturnal animals have not yet come out, and the restless animals during the day have also returned to rest. However, this time period is very short, probably less than half an hour long.

Xiao Wu was still waiting for Liu Qing in the cave, and when he heard the footsteps, he happily ran to the entrance of the cave to greet him. Liu Qing put the dry thatch used to start the fire on the side of the firewood, took out the four big ginger beans from it, and put them on the ground casually. Xiao Wu didn't know what this thing was, and thought it was a toy brought back by Liu Qing, stretched out his claws and pulled a few times, and the sharp claws cut a few wounds on it, Xiao Wu looked at his claws in some surprise, and then looked at the "stone" on the ground, as if he was surprised that his claws were so powerful.

Liu Qing saw it on the side and thought, yes, Xiao Wu is a beast after all, and it is not a way to keep it in the cave like this, it must learn to hunt by itself, and let it know and learn to use the weapons on its body......

Next to the fire, Liu Qing added a handful of thatch, a few dry firewood, and blew a few breaths, and the flames suddenly jumped up. In the faucet pot, half a pot of water, there are two pieces of dinosaur meat in it, these dinosaur meat is the last stock, there are only four pieces left on the wall, and then there is the newly hung fish meat on the simple barbecue. As for the new ginger beans, he wants to try them again tomorrow.

After eating, Xiao Wu played for a while, then ran back to the thatched bed to sleep, while Liu Qing stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the night sky, after a while, he turned around and returned to the cave, holding an unburned wooden stick in his hand, walked to the empty side of the cave stone wall, turned on the flashlight, counted the traces on it, a total of forty-two, and then lifted the wooden stick, and added one after the fourth line with unburned black charcoal.

He's been here for forty-three days, and he's been looking up at the stars every night these days, but he can't tell what he's thinking. After that, they will go to this empty wall and make a mark on it, and mark the day that has passed away.

Early the next morning, Liu Qing got up to cook as usual, and Xiao Wu had already gotten up, but it knew that Liu Qing had always wanted to exercise while cooking, so it had been surrounding Liu Qing. Liu Qing burned the fire, put meat in the pot, and began to exercise at the entrance of the cave. There are no equipment or other aids, and his workout is very simple, using bodyweight exercises, which will keep him in good shape and as a recovery exercise after an arm injury.

A set of fifty push-ups, after doing it, there is a group of squats, but the squats are not so simple, two arms, each put a big stone on the shoulder, the arms are held up, and then start the squat, which is also fifty, after doing it, then a group of running in place, that is, raising the legs, and then a group of fifty push-ups.

When I did it this time, Xiao Wu seemed to be a little lonely on the side, and Liu Qing smiled at it, "Come on, Xiao Wu, you jump on my back and lie on my stomach," After speaking, he supported his body with one arm, and pulled Xiao Wu with the other hand, and pointed to his back. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu actually understood, and really jumped on his back all of a sudden, as if he was afraid of falling, and deliberately grabbed his clothes with sharp claws.

Liu Qing was also very surprised, he didn't expect Xiao Wu to understand what he meant. In fact, it's nothing, after getting along for so long, Liu Qing says this and that to it every day, anyone who has had a dog at home should know that many animals, especially mammals, have a high IQ, and they can learn many things quickly. In particular, a young animal like Xiao Wu, just like a human baby, is not generally strong in learning ability.

I didn't expect it to be very heavy when I usually held it, but I didn't expect it to be lying on my back, and I instantly felt that the weight of my arm had increased a lot. But this is exactly the effect he wants, the push-ups fall again and again, each time his chest is almost against the ground, he doesn't care how fast he does it, he just wants to be as standard as possible every time.

After that, start doing squats again. But this time, he remembered Xiao Wu again, those two stones were indeed heavier than Xiao Wu, but they also hurt his arm. This time, I didn't discuss it with Xiao Wu, so I directly carried Xiao Wu to my shoulders and started squats one by one. Xiao Wu was on him, and his little head felt novel and funny.

When he finished his workout, the broth was not yet cooked, and he took advantage of his free time to make a dozen arrows, and did not stop until the meat in the pot was almost cooked.

After eating, Liu Qing planned to go to the beach, the salt pit had been drying for three or four days, and he didn't know how it was. Another thing to do when I went to the beach was to get some more venom on the way back, because of the short time last time, the venom collected was too little, and if every arrow was smeared, it would not be enough at all. And he has also tested it, even if the venom is dried into powder, as long as it is stained with blood, it is still effective. So this time he will collect as much venom as he can, even if it is all dried into powder, and he will need to mix it with a little water temporarily.

When he arrived at the beach, Liu Qing looked at the vast sea, and really couldn't understand what kind of monsters would exist there. Before he reached the salt pit, he found that there was no trace of water in it, and it was dried so quickly? It was a little incredible, he thought it would take at least ten days and half a month. Fortunately, the weather has been good these days, except for the strong sea breeze, there is almost no rain.

But when he walked to the edge of the pit and looked at it, the excitement suddenly disappeared at all. It stands to reason that if the water in it had been dried, there would have been a layer of salt frost on the leaves laid underneath, but there would have been only specks of salt on it, not the kind of salt frost he had imagined.

It seemed that he was still thinking too much, this method of drying salt did not work at all, and the sea water was not dried at all, but all seeped into the sand of the beach. Think about it, he doesn't have any anti-seepage measures, and it's all sand, how can he ensure that the sea water does not seep out?

Alas, it seems that you still have to burn salt! Liu Qing couldn't help but be a little disappointed, thinking that he had found a way to obtain a large amount of salt, but he didn't expect that it would not work at all. When he was about to turn around and leave, he didn't know how his brain twitched, but he slapped his head, yes! Why did he not expect that since the salt content of this sea water is not high, wouldn't he be able to take it back directly to cook rice? Why do you boil the sea water dry and use the salt condensed by it to add it to fresh water?

After figuring out this problem, Liu Qing suddenly felt that his previous efforts were not in vain, at least he thought of another way. In that case, you might as well make more water storage pipes to hold seawater.

When he returned, Liu Qing cut down more than a dozen bamboo grass tubes, the kind of hollow grass, he gave a name, called bamboo grass, because in addition to the lack of knots, the hollow tubes, and even the leaves are somewhat similar to bamboo, so it is quite appropriate to call it bamboo grass.

Walking in front of the vine, Liu Qing put the bamboo straw tube aside and began to collect the venom seriously.

Until the sun was about to set, Liu Qing finished the collection, and the two jars were each filled with cans or so, I have to say that this vine contains a lot of water. This kind of wooden jar was also the method he had only thought of a few days before he was injured. It is equivalent to shortening the water storage pipe by more than ten times, and at the same time, the wood used to block the two ends is also shortened a lot, so that it is equivalent to a small wooden jar, which is very useful for putting some special things. For example, the salt he eats, as well as the storage of venom, are all used in this small wooden jar, which is convenient and practical, and in order to distinguish it, he usually uses a dagger to engrave the word salt or poison on it.

Back in the cave, Liu Qing put two jars of venom on a protruding stone a little higher on the cave wall to prevent Xiao Wu from accidentally eating it, after all, it was just a small animal, and there was no way to distinguish between salt and venom. After being hungry for most of the day, Liu Qing was ready to cook dinner, which was also something that Xiao Wu was looking forward to.

What Liu Qing wants to make tonight is broth, and there is also roasted ginger beans. There was broth burning in the pot, and there was a big ginger bean on the side of the fire, which was the one who was scratched by Xiao Wu at night.

By the time the broth is almost cooked, the roasted ginger beans also give off an enticing aroma that seems to smell similar to that of baked potatoes. Liu Qing sniffed, feeling that the smell made him even hungrier.

I added a handful of firewood to the fire, but I was accidentally pricked by a thorny firewood, and I quickly withdrew my hand to see, fortunately, there was no bleeding, indicating that it was not punctured.

After he added a handful of firewood, the fire burned even more, and after a while, Liu Qing felt a strange smell, it smelled like some kind of plastic burning, and it looked like something was burning......

Hurriedly pulled the roasted ginger bean chop aside, looked through it, and there was no baked paste, that is...... Liu Qing hurriedly grabbed the two long wooden sticks in the faucet pot, he didn't have chopsticks here, so he found a few long and straight branches, simply sharpened them, and used them as chopsticks. I don't usually use it when I eat barbecue, but I use it more to stir the soup pot.

But there was no taste in the pot except for the flavor of the broth. Liu Qing sniffed left and right, the smell was still there, maybe it was because the faucet pot had been burned for too long, and the bottom was baked? When I first started burning the faucet pot, there was a similar smell to this. So Liu Qing didn't think much about it, what he was most concerned about now was whether this ginger bean could be eaten.

The skin of a roasted potato is very easy to tear off, and the same is true for this ginger bean, as long as one hole is torn, the rest of the skin can be easily peeled off. Smelling the fragrance, Liu Qing couldn't help but take a bite.

The mouth is sweet, and it has a fight with roasted sweet potatoes, but it is lighter than the sweetness of sweet potatoes, but it is also mixed with a little spicy taste of ginger, so it tastes very unique, like a little ginger juice on top of baked potatoes.

Maybe it was because he thought it was delicious, or he wanted to test the poison himself, so he didn't let Xiao Wu eat it. After eating a large roasted ginger bean, Liu Qing ate a round belly and was satisfied. Just imagine, he has always eaten meat every day, and now he suddenly encounters a vegetarian diet, how can he not be happy?

But the problem suddenly arises. Liu Qing began to feel that his brain was a little groggy, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Xiao Wu had eaten enough, lying on the straw bed, with his eyes closed, and listening to Liu Qing's movements with his ears.

"I'm afraid it's over this time, this thing is poisonous!"

Liu Qing was in a hurry, he didn't even press the fire, ran directly to the edge of the bed, said such a sentence to himself, and then tilted his body and fell on the bed.
