Chapter 54: Dig a hole to save yourself

After eighteen days of hard work, the results were finally seen, although the amount of water was not large, but it was enough for Liu Qing's daily use, and the water storage pit was not large, and it was only one meter square. Xiao Wu circled around the puddle, and seemed to be a little thirsty, so he lowered his head, stretched out his tongue and licked a few mouthfuls of water to drink. Liu Qing wanted to stop it, Xiao Wu had already drunk it, just think about it, after all, Xiao Wu is a wild animal, sooner or later he will have to come into contact with such water, otherwise he will get sick as soon as he drinks water in the future, so what should I do?

Facts have proved that one side of the water and soil raises one side of the animal, Xiao Wu is still very adaptable to the environment here, drank a lot of water mixed with soil, and did not get sick.

After a day of rest, Liu Qing began to practice archery again that day. Archery is also a skill, as long as you practice a lot, even if you are a fool, you can always shoot a little more accurately. Although he has been practicing less archery recently due to his work, Liu Qing's shooting level is still increasing. On the one hand, he is an expert in shooting, and he can summarize the shooting essentials by himself, and constantly verify and change in training, on the other hand, his shooting level plummeted after an arm injury, and now he starts practicing again, which naturally results twice the result with half the effort.

Another thing is that Liu Qing has been thinking about how to make those poison ivy that cause people into coma into smoke bombs, this thing is so powerful that even a fierce beast like Xiao Wu is directly put down for a whole day, so even if it is a wild boar, I am afraid that it will be in a coma for half a day and a day, even if the dinosaur smells it, at least it will have to be in a coma for half a day and a few hours, haha, by that time, it will all be their own dishes.

Those plates of poison ivy had been roasted, and now all he needed to do was to come up with a safe way to make these poison ivy smoke and at the same time easy to carry, and he couldn't carry a bundle on his back every time he went out, it would be too troublesome.

After washing his face on the edge of the pool, Liu Qing saw some footprints on the edge of the pool, which looked like some kind of small animal, and some footprints looked like coyotes. Xiao Wu was on the edge of the pool, and he circled around, very unhappy, this is its territory, but there are so many things that are not long-sighted and have to grab a place with him, he is simply tired. Thinking of this, Xiao Wu directly circled around the small pool again, sprinkling a little urine while turning.

"Uh!" Liu Qing's eyes widened, looking at Xiao Wu's leisurely "enclosure", but he couldn't laugh, this guy is doing this, how can he drink water with peace of mind in the future? Who knows if it will accidentally splash into it? What's more, there should be other animals here who are also drinking water, thinking of this, Liu Qing suddenly felt that the work he had done before was really a bit redundant, was it really convenient for himself? I'm afraid it was convenient for those animals!

Liu Qing will never agree now, and he must not let these animals take advantage of him in vain. After thinking about it, Liu Qing had no choice but to take the bow and arrows back into the hole, take out the sapper shovel again, dig a pit above along the pipe, and lay a layer of stones on the bottom of the pit, and a circle of stones around the pit, and then in the hole, with vines and branches, made a simple cover, and covered the newly dug pit.

Then move the upstream pipes separately so that the water flows into the newly dug pit and then into the previous pit. In short, Liu Qing does not plan to take water from the pit downstream in the future.

Xiao Wu is now taller than Liu Qing's knees, of course, this is when it lands on all fours, if it stands upright, it is already as high as Liu Qing's chin, although I don't know how much it weighs, but when Liu Qing holds it, it feels that it should not be much lighter than himself. And perhaps because of Xiao Wu's better food, the whole fur is oily, the body is strong, and even a little fat, which looks really majestic.

When Liu Qing was digging a pit, Xiao Wu was half-lying on the side, licking the soles of his feet as if bored, and he already had a little bit of the demeanor of a mountain king. After working for many days, he just dug a pit, tired and sweaty, and there was a lot of dirt on his body, and at this time, he didn't care about Xiao Wu's urine, Liu Qing moved a few larger stones, simply paved a stone platform, took off his clothes on the spot, picked up the water in the puddle and bathed, and then washed his clothes.

Suddenly, the whole person became refreshed, but Liu Qing's whole person was no longer much different from a wild man except that his body was clean. The beard on his chin has grown a lot, Liu Qing tried to cut it with a dagger, but even if the dagger is sharpened repeatedly, it still hurts to cut the beard, and the head is also a messy mess. Now suddenly the old man with long hair feels very unaccustomed, and there is no shampoo, even if he washes it every day, he still feels that his hair is condensed together, and he is extremely unhappy.

endured the pain and cut off his hair with a dagger, at least he wouldn't cover his eyes anymore, but the hair cut by the knife was pitted as if it had been gnawed by a dog, and those who hadn't seen it might not even be able to imagine what it looked like, and even Liu Qing himself didn't know what he was like now.

Back in the cave, hanging clothes casually in the gap at the entrance of the cave to dry, Liu Qing began to cook. On this day, in addition to ginger beans, it is fish and pork, although there are a lot of pork, but I can't help but eat it every day, and in these days, the whole pig has been eaten up. Especially a few days ago, I did some physical work, people were tired quickly, and they ate a lot, and they used to occasionally cook some broth, but now the pot is gone, and even the soup can't be cooked, and the soup is still more economical.

To be honest, people who have no experience in presiding over housework can't understand how powerful people are at eating, don't look at that big wild boar, it looks like there is a lot of meat, if you really eat it, it won't last long. If it weren't for Liu Qing's large ginger bean field to support him, I'm afraid I don't know how many hungry meals I have until now. If you don't believe me, go and see the animal world, those animals, in addition to sleeping almost every day, are looking for food, which is like people, there are food reserves, and they do something to eat and support. As for some lions, tigers, leopards and the like, they catch a cow and eat it for several days, because they eat a lot of food, and they sleep when they are finished, and they don't work, and they catch it when they are hungry. Liu Qing is different, he can't eat so much at one meal, and he has to work every day.

Okay, don't talk nonsense, Liu Qingguang was lying on the grass bed to rest, with two fish roasting by the fire and two ginger beans. The eight-pan rattan rings were placed next to him, and he was thinking about how to make them work.

By the way, Liu Qing remembered one thing: In the past, every time there was a New Year's holiday, her mother would burn incense to worship God, and those incense would not be burning and emitting smoke by herself? After that, design some traps, wait until the prey falls into the trap, and then light the incense, throw it into the trap and smoke it, then it will not be tricked, and when the incense is burned, it will clean up the prey by itself.

When the fish was grilled, Liu Qing threw it to Xiao Wu, who lay on the ground and nibbled on the grilled fish sprinkled with salt on the blades of grass. Liu Qing inserted it with a wooden stick that had been sharpened and used as chopsticks, and the ginger beans didn't seem to be too ripe and couldn't be pierced through. I also sprinkled some salt on the grilled fish, tore off a piece and put it in my mouth. When the ginger beans are cooked, two are just enough.

After eating and drinking, and the sky gradually darkened, Liu Qing sat on a stone near the entrance of the cave and began to make rattan incense. It was easy to think, but it was more difficult to make, and he didn't know how the incense was made, so he had to rely on his own imagination to complete it.

Cut off a piece of vine and hold it in your hand, spread a large clean leaf on the ground, and scrape it little by little on the vine with a dagger. Scrape the vines into crumbs and powder, just like that, and it took a long time to go down a little, and a layer of powder fell on the leaves, but it didn't look much.

While there was still some light, Liu Qing found a thin stick, sharpened it, poured the broken vine powder on a narrow dried ginger bean leaf, put the stick diagonally on it, and began to roll the bag. The leaves are wrapped around the stick, and the rattan powder is wrapped in it, and finally the two ends are simply tied. The dried ginger bean leaves are extremely flammable, as long as one end is ignited, it will definitely continue to burn, this is the method that Liu Qing came up with.

Outside the cave, Liu Qing lit the leaves, holding his breath, who knew that as soon as the bundled string was burned, the entire leaf was scattered, and the powder was sprinkled all over the ground, and the experiment failed.

Back in the cave, Liu Qing was lying on the grass bed, Xiao Wu had already slept, his ears were moving, very cute. Liu Qing thought that the idea should be right, but the method is not good, and he needs to think of other ways. Soon, Liu Qing thought of another way, smoke bombs.

Early the next morning, after Liu Qing had dinner, he began to work on the handmade smoke bombs he designed. Use a clean water storage pipe as a cartridge, fill it with a ball of dried ginger bean leaves, and mix it with crushed vine powder. When you need to use it, just light the ginger bean leaves inside, and then throw the smoke bomb into the trap, so that you don't have to worry about spreading it out.

Outside the cave, the lit "smoke bomb" quickly emitted a thick puff of smoke, because there was not enough oxygen in it to burn and turn into smoke.

"It's a success!" Liu Qing was very happy, Xiao Wu didn't know what Liu Qing was happy about, but he could see that as soon as Liu Qing was happy, Xiao Wu would also be excited. So it ran to the barrel and coiled it upside down with its claws.

I didn't know that this thing was very hot, so I immediately retracted it back into the soles of my little feet. By the time Liu Qing wanted to call it, it was already too late, and Xiao Wu turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave, and when he was still three or two steps away from the entrance of the cave, his body fell to the ground as soon as he was crooked. It was too close and poisoned again. Xiao Wu lying on the ground was like a dead dog, he couldn't drag and move, thanks to Liu Qing's strength, he insisted on carrying Xiao Wu to the hole, slowly putting it on the grass bed, and letting it rest.

Liu Qing felt funny, and at the same time secretly vigilant in his heart, this thing is indeed powerful, but it can't be used indiscriminately, otherwise if you are not careful, you may also be poisoned and fall to the ground. At that time, if the prey wakes up first, then I am afraid that I will be doomed.

Find the right way, Liu Qing is also much faster to make. And this time he didn't have to scrape the vines into powder at all, but directly cut them into small pieces, which saved time and effort, and the fragments and leaves were kneaded together and stuffed in, and it was not easy to spill out.

After making more than a dozen in one go, Liu Qing stopped, ran outside the cave with a bow and arrow, and practiced archery.
