Chapter 9: Little Five
The night was getting thicker, Liu Qing was extremely tired this day, coupled with a high degree of mental tension, he fell asleep in a heavy mood. In the middle of the night, he was awakened by a rush of urine, and the cave was pitch black, and there was not even a trace of light. He was about to turn on the flashlight, but he heard some strange noises outside the cave, so he quietly got up and planned to take a look.
Gently put the little tiger aside, took out the pistol from the satchel, and pulled out the dagger from his waist, and then walked slowly and softly towards the entrance of the cave. There is some bright light at the entrance of the cave, but it is not the moonlight, but the reflection of the moonlight on the stones and mountain walls, and it seems that the cave is indeed very well hidden.
Liu Qing groped his way to the entrance of the cave, lying on the edge of the stone and looking out, although the grass was tall and dense, there were still some gaps, which were extremely difficult to find when looking from the outside to the inside, but when looking from the inside out, he could see some of the situation outside with the help of the gaps. The night outside the cave was like water, and the milky white moonlight was scattered on the ground through the branches of the trees, and under the reflection of these light spots, Liu Qing saw several animals playing.
But this little light was not enough for him to see what kind of animal it was, and he could only identify a tail with four legs, not very large, not much older than an adult domestic cat, and it should be cubs, because not far from them, there were several much larger ones, looking around, as if they were on guard. Liu Qing looked at it for a while, and thought, looking at it like this, like a dog or a wolf or something, let's just treat it as a wolf!
Just as he was thinking, it happened that an adult wolf turned his head to look at this side, and his eyes were particularly shining because of the reflection of the moonlight, like two small flashlights, Liu Qing's frightened head shrank behind the stone, for fear of being discovered. Confirming that there was no other danger, Liu Qing quietly turned back to the same place, and according to the layout of the cave in his memory, he groped for the location of the "toilet", because there was some feces on the ground, he didn't want to step on it, so he deliberately walked a little farther, supporting the mountain wall with one hand and holding the faucet with the other.
At this time, he was very sober, and knew that the wolves outside were definitely not easy to mess with, and if there was any movement to attract them, he was afraid that he would be finished. These wolves are no bigger than the big injured tiger, and it's not just a matter of numbers. So Liu Qing didn't even dare to pee carelessly, peeing against the mountain wall, so that it would not make a sound, and when the urine was over, Liu Qing shivered gently.
When he returned to the "bed", Liu Qing groped with both hands, for fear of pressing the little tiger. Touching its soft and warm little belly, Liu Qing felt very happy, and after lying down, he quietly thought about something while stroking the little tiger. The little tiger seemed to enjoy this feeling too, and flipped his body slightly so that Liu Qing could stroke a larger area, and then snored softly. This scared Liu Qing a lot, and this little guy didn't look at when, if he accidentally lured those evil wolves outside, we would both have to be torn alive!
With the snoring, Liu Qing had already hurriedly stopped stroking, and thanks to his quick stopping, the little tiger's snoring also stopped, his body squirmed slightly, arched towards Liu Qing's arms, and continued to sleep. Liu Qing's eyes widened, his ears couldn't stand up, and his other hand was already holding the pistol. After listening carefully for a while, I found that there was nothing abnormal, so I put my head on the backpack and closed my eyes with confidence.
Liu Qing, who closed his eyes, did not sleep, but was thinking about the current situation. The environment he was in now was different from the wild survival he had practiced before, first of all, there was no time limit, secondly, the environment here was extremely unfamiliar, whether it was a plant or an animal, there were almost no names he could name, and secondly, this place was full of dangers, from the giant mouth monster in the sea at the beginning, to the huge dinosaur in the back, to the big tiger that was injured later, and the wolves that were now playing outside the cave, any of which he could not fight down.
And now the conditions he can use are also very limited, but there are many problems, this cave should now be regarded as a favorable condition, can be used as a temporary shelter, but although this cave is hidden, but the safety is still very insufficient, what he needs to do next is to rearrange the cave to ensure the safety of the cave as much as possible. There was also the problem of food, and although he now had a tiger carcass, there was always a time when he would have to go out hunting again. In addition to food, there is also water, he has no fixed water source at all, counting, the last time he drank water was when he was resting after digging a hole in the ground, and there was less than half of the water left in the kettle, even if he saved, he could not use it until the day after tomorrow.
Then, the next thing he needs to do is very clear, first of all, to find a water source, during which he can also collect food, and then to find a way to remodel the entrance to the cave, at least add a door! And the tools he has are also very limited, a multi-purpose sapper shovel, a set of war supplies, which contains a sewing box, a stainless steel teacup, a small flashlight, two lighters, a roll of fishing line, and four fish hooks. Then there is the dagger and the pistol, the pistol bullets originally had 200 rounds, now there are only 182 rounds left, in this dangerous environment, every bullet may save his life, these bullets must be kept properly, as far as possible.
After Liu Qing sorted out what he was going to do tomorrow in his mind, he listened carefully to the situation outside the cave, and found that there was no such abnormal sound, so he closed his eyes with peace of mind and gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Liu Qing suddenly felt that his face was a little sticky and a little scraped, and he thought there was some attack, but he opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that it was the little tiger, looking at him with a stupid face, the boss with a small mouth open, and his tongue kept licking his face. Liu Qing picked it up and said with a smile: "You little guy, do you want to eat me?"
After speaking, he stroked its soft fur with his hand and fumbled with his backpack. After a while, he took out a compressed biscuit from his backpack, tore open the package, took a bite, and handed the rest to the little tiger's mouth, "Eat, eat!"
It's a pity that the little tiger didn't give him face at all, just sniffed a little, and then twisted his head to the side, and didn't even look at it. Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this little tiger may not have been weaned yet, and he needs to be fed milk when he is hungry! Where can he find milk for him now? Alas! It seems that after thinking about it last night, he still ignored this little guy, and it is also his own big problem!
After all, Liu Qing had no experience in raising small animals, and he had no idea what to feed such a small guy. After carrying the tiger cub around the hole twice, he decided to go out and find a water source first! By the way, he could see if he could help him find some food, but if he couldn't, he had to cook some broth and feed it. As for the meat, it's still the meat of the big tiger! Because Liu Qing really has nothing else to feed it now.
After eating two pieces of dry food in a row, Liu Qing felt that the hunger in his stomach was no longer so obvious, so he turned on the kettle, raised his head and poured two mouthfuls. Then he saw the little tiger with his head tilted back in his arms, and his eyes were looking at his kettle with great excitement. Liu Qing smiled slightly, put the kettle to the side of the little tiger's mouth, and slowly poured out a little water, maybe the little tiger had never drunk liquid like this, this small sip of water flowed down the corner of its mouth, and I don't know how much it drank.
"Woo woo!" The little tiger screamed milkily, and the two little ones grabbed the kettle excitedly, Liu Qing was happy, drink water, at least it can be endured for a while! So, while drinking, he fed the little tiger, feeding a little at a time, after about ten minutes, the little tiger stopped making noise, and the kettle was completely empty.
The well-watered little tiger ran around on the ground excitedly, and although it was not very steady, it was really cute and tight.
Liu Qing put his satchel and backpack on a raised stone on the inner wall, carried a sapper shovel in his hand, a dagger pinned to his waist, and a pistol in his trouser pocket. The little tiger ran to the "toilet" with a fart, pouted his ass and peed, and then followed Liu Qing, seemingly planning to go out with him.
"What are you doing, stay at home honestly!" Liu Qing glared and yelled at the little tiger.
"Woo woo!" the little tiger cried aggrievedly, and his body involuntarily took two steps back. Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought, yes, I'll give you a name!
"Xiao Wu, do you hear that? In the future, you will be called Xiao Wu, you stay at home, I'll go out and find you something to eat! I'll be back in a while!" Liu Qing squatted down, touched Xiao Wu's head with his right hand, and rubbed it a few times.
Xiao Wu seemed to really understand, and screamed again, took a few steps back, and looked at Liu Qing blankly.
Liu Qing came out of the cave, and when he looked back, Xiao Wu was still standing there, his eyes full of reluctance. Liu Qing looked at the entrance of the cave, this is not covered, I am really afraid that it will go out on its own, with its current combat strength, going out is simply to add food to other animals! Liu Qing walked outside the cave and turned around a few times, hugged a few big stones, placed them at the entrance of the cave, and built a stone wall of nearly one meter, and gently pushed it down, it was quite strong, and then he turned around and left with confidence.
According to his train of thought, the main thing is to find the water source first, but before that, he plans to get some meat, yesterday's big tiger, there is a lot of meat on his body, he can make a little more, there is meat to eat, this kind of opportunity is not always available to him. When he walked to the position where he killed the tiger yesterday, he found that there was still a shadow of such a big tiger, and some of them were just a pair of white Sensen's bone frames, and there were no internal organs left!
Damn! Liu Qing cursed secretly! This is special, it must have been a good thing done by those wolves last night! I really didn't leave it at all! The wishful thinking was completely gone, and Liu Qing turned around and left in a bit of a huff! It doesn't matter if the tiger meat is gone, the water source must be found!
