Chapter 61: Hatred in the Heart

In the next few days, it has been very calm, and Liu Qing gradually understood that it was not his luck, but that he had not gone deep into the giant tree forest before, so he did not encounter danger, but now the fruit here on the periphery was almost picked by him, and the deeper he went inside, the closer he was to danger, and the easier it was to encounter danger.

But there are a lot of resources in the giant tree forest, which is difficult for Liu Qing to give up. If you want to say that you can fill your stomach, ginger beans alone are enough, but people are often like this, full of warm thoughts, if you can eat enough, you want to eat better, which is not wrong in itself. The problem is that if Liu Qing wants to eat better now, he has to take a greater risk, and another point, if Liu Qing doesn't know that those fruits can be eaten, forget it, now that he knows that he can eat them, and the taste is still very good, on the premise of being able to ensure safety, anyone will want to get some to eat.

So Liu Qing decided that he could pick fruits in the future, but as far as possible, he didn't go deep into the giant tree forest, and there were many fruits on the periphery, but Liu Qing had only eaten two of them, and the others didn't know if they could be eaten.

Besides, fruits are not available everywhere, although many giant trees are entangled with associated vines, but not every vine of these vines will bear fruit, even if some bear fruit, I don't know if it can be edible. From the poison ivy that poisoned the dinosaurs at the beginning, to the vines that caused the coma later, the slightest carelessness would make him die without a place to be buried.

Thinking of this, Liu Qing couldn't help but be a little lucky, is it because he is the protagonist? So he can always survive the disaster? But it's not right, others are invincible in the world when they are the protagonists, once they are in danger, there will always be a stroke of genius to help, but they have suffered so much all day long, they have to spend their old nose trying to make salt and eat meat, and it is easy to pick a fruit and fall into the pit and almost die! This is not the treatment of the protagonist at all!

In fact, Liu Qing didn't know that this was the result of his daily caution, otherwise he would have become a dung heap a long time ago, and there would not be a single hair left. Moreover, many things are easy to think about and easy to say, but once they are done, they are not always successful, even if Edison is inventing, they are not always successful!

Liu Qing counted the day yesterday, it was the time for the velociraptor to come out of the hole to forage, so he went to the velociraptor lair again, and looked around there, not even a trace of industry was found, but he finally found the source of the pungent smell similar to the chemical agent. With Xiao Wu's sensitive nose, they found it about fifty or sixty meters to the left of the nest, and there was actually no sewage outlet here, but the smell of a tall plant.

Approximately two meters tall, the plant resembles an enlarged version of the orchid, with a long stem growing in the middle of a leaf stem, and an extremely showy flower blooming at the top, from which the smell emanates. The flowers have a total of ten lotus-like petals, but these ten petals are not the same color, the left five petals are pink, the right five petals are blue, and in the middle is a large piece of flesh-like thing, which looks crystal clear, and the petals grow on this pulp. There was no such thing as a flower stamen, and Liu Qing even wondered if it was a flower at one point.

found the source of the smell, Liu Qing was also completely dead, and he was afraid that there was no hope of getting out of here. Not to mention that he didn't know how big it was, and if he went farther, the danger everywhere could kill him.

While burning the water storage pipe and roasting ginger beans, Liu Qing was thinking crankily in his heart. He was now gradually confused, he was afraid that he had crossed over, and as for where he had crossed over? Is it an alien planet? Or is it the age of the dinosaurs on Earth? I don't know, and there is no way to know! But Liu Qing only knows one thing: to survive, only to survive is the most important thing.

Now that he has figured this out, Liu Qing has slowly settled down, and after this period of survival, he also has some understanding of this place, and he also has a little judgment about some dangers and the habits of those large predators, at least he can avoid some unnecessary dangers. The days to come may be very long, and other things need to be slowly summarized and accumulated. Liu Qing has a lot of experience in surviving in the wild, at least he is confident now, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to die, he should be able to live.

The floating thoughts converged, the water in the water pipe was already boiling, Liu Qing clamped the water storage pipe with two long sticks, leaned against the wall on one side, and turned Jiang Dou over with the long stick. Waiting for the time when the roasted ginger beans and boiling water cooled down, Liu Qing suddenly had an idea, yes, he can use the water storage pipe to boil water, so why can't he use it to boil salt?

The diameter of each water storage pipe is more than ten centimeters, the length can be determined by yourself, the water capacity is definitely not small, and the shell of the kettle is pitiful in comparison. As soon as he had this idea, Liu Qing suddenly became excited. It was a big blow to him that he failed to dry salt before, and he spent so much effort digging a pit, but as a result, all the seawater was seeped out, and now that he has this new idea, he naturally wants to test it.

After eating and drinking, he packed up some dry food, and said that he would leave, and Xiao Wu naturally followed him in a hurry. Since the time Liu Qing fell into the pit, no matter where he goes, Xiao Wu basically has to follow, even if Liu Qing goes to the puddle outside the cave to strip naked and take a bath, it has to follow outside the hole, lying on the ground and watching Liu Qing wash.

One man and one tiger were familiar with the road, and soon they were in the tall grass by the sea. Out of the grass is the beach, the reason why Liu Qing stopped here is to collect some materials, he doesn't care what this kind of empty tube plant is called, anyway, it grows on a big ball, and the appearance and even the material are similar to bamboo, so just call him a bamboo ball.

He is now looking for bamboo balls here, in order to make water storage pipes, several large bamboo balls nearby have been pulled out by him on the bamboo poles, the last time I went to see, I found that some buds appeared, it is estimated that they will grow again, but it is unknown how long it will grow as big as before.

Soon, Liu Qing found a bamboo ball, there were a lot of bamboo pipes on it, but it seemed to have been gnawed by something, the branches and leaves were very messy, and most of the bamboo pipe heads were bitten off. When Liu Qing walked up, he suddenly understood that this was probably done by the dinosaurs, herbivorous dinosaurs. Because right next to this bamboo ball, there is a lump of feces, it looks like it has been a while, the surface has been dry and hard, but it can still be distinguished, there are still a lot of undigested plant fibers on it, and even a few twigs and so on.

Presumably, a small herbivore like the weevil-nosed pig would not be able to reach such tall branches and leaves. To say that the weevil-nosed pig is not small, it is also compared to the dinosaurs that are often seven or eight meters or even tens of meters.

Fortunately, although some of them were eaten, there was still a lot left. Liu Qing plucked all of these and cut off the unwanted branches and broken parts, leaving only the parts that could be used intact. There are a total of nine collected on this one, which is enough. In addition, Liu Qing also cut off a large piece of the flesh of the ball on the ground of the bamboo ball, carried a bamboo pipe on his back, and held a large piece of meat in his hand.

After carrying all of these back to the cave, Liu Qing brought six more water storage pipes to the beach to fetch water. It is not light to fill six water storage pipes with seawater, Liu Qing carried four on his back, and the remaining two were tied with rattan ropes and put on Xiao Wu's back. Although Xiao Wu can also transport things, and his strength is strong enough, it is not a mule or horse after all, and it is okay to hold it in its mouth, once it is placed on its back and let it be carried, it will turn over and fall at every turn.

The seawater was transported back to the cave, and Liu Qing officially began the experiment. Some people may have doubts, why Liu Qing didn't cook directly at the beach this time? In fact, Liu Qing has his own considerations, it is indeed very convenient to cook seawater at the seaside, and it is easy to find firewood in the tall grass, the problem is that the beach is very empty, in the past, he only boiled one cup or two cups of seawater, and he could get it quickly, but this time he had to cook so much at one time, and it would definitely take a long time.

In case it was discovered by some kind of beast or even a dinosaur during this period, wouldn't Liu Qing be in danger again, in line with the strategy of safety first, Liu Qing decisively chose to be tired and carry the sea water back to the cave for testing.

The fire has already burned, at first, Liu Qing filled a pipe with seawater and inserted it directly into the fire to burn, but after a while, all the firewood that originally supported the bamboo pipe was burned into charcoal, and when he didn't pay attention, the pipe was poured, and half of the water was spilled before it was boiled. Liu Qing thought about it, yes, it can also be done in another way.

After taking the dagger, the bamboo pipe is directly split in half, the bamboo ball used for plugging the mouth is cut a little bit, plugged at both ends, and then the two semicircular bamboo pipes are placed flat on the stones around the fire, so that it is convenient, and the fire area is also larger, and it is easier to burn.

Things are dead, people are alive, as long as you are willing to put your heart into it, you can always find a way. Liu Qing is like this now, he can't dry the salt, and he thinks of boiling salt with a bamboo tube, but it is inconvenient to put the bamboo pipe directly, and he thinks of cutting it open, and things are getting smoother and smoother step by step.

The eight bamboo pipes originally prepared, only three were enough to be cut, and the five and a half pipes of seawater boiled out a lot of sea salt, more than the sum of Liu Qing's previous boils.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, Liu Qing was also tired all day, and Xiao Wu roasted two fish for dinner, and sprinkled some salt on the grilled fish, not to mention how fragrant it tasted, Xiao Wu ate this time There was not even bone residue left, and even the fish head that Liu Qing didn't eat was chewed and swallowed by it.

Liu Qing was lying on the grass bed, feeling happy in his heart, tomorrow, no, until the day after tomorrow, he will boil salt like this every day, there is no harm in boiling this thing, and it will not be too much to boil it out and put it for later use.

In the middle of the night, Liu Qing was startled by a thunderclap, stood at the entrance of the cave, poked his head out to see, in the distance, it should be on the sea, and now it is lightning and thunder, it is estimated that it is a big storm.

"Hehe," Liu Qing smiled, it's not because I'm here, otherwise it will be a trouble to go out tomorrow. There was also a strong wind outside the cave, and there was a fence gate to block it, and there was hardly any feeling in the cave.

As soon as the morning dawned, Liu Qing got up to cook, and while roasting ginger beans, he also went to practice bows and arrows for a while. After having breakfast with Xiao Wu, Liu Qing set off to the beach with the water storage pipe on his back.

One person and one tiger, he is still familiar with the road, but before he reached the beach, Liu Qing was dumbfounded. It's just been a night away, and the sea has risen so much! Before, after getting out of the high grassland, he walked another ten meters to the beach, but now he has not yet stepped out of the high grassland, and his feet have already stepped into the sea water!

"Hehe!" Liu Qing couldn't help but be a little happy, this is also very good, and it also saves some distance, you know, with such a heavy thing on his back, it is also very happy to be able to walk dozens of meters less! However, he had just filled all the water storage pipes with seawater, and before he could tie them up, he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly shouted, "it! It's not good!" Then he hurriedly picked up the water storage pipe and ran in the direction of the cave.
