Chapter 67: The Sandpiper Clam Fights
In the following days, Liu Qing can be said to have a lot of peace and life, while dealing with the fur he got and accompanying Xiao Wu to recuperate with peace of mind.
To be honest, if there was no Liu Qing, Xiao Wu might not have survived now, after all, her mother had been seriously injured at that time, and her leg was also injured, even if Liu Qing didn't kill her, it is estimated that she would not be able to hunt normally for a period of time. What's more, she still had to raise Xiao Wu at that time, if the two of them were found in their nest by a group of coyotes at that time, they would probably be besieged and killed.
In any case, although Liu Qing killed its mother, he also raised it. Besides, wild animals, even if it weren't for Liu Qing, it wouldn't be smooth sailing in the daily hunting process, and it was common for them to get injured or something. It's just that now Liu Qing completely sees it as his own child, and as soon as it is injured, it makes him feel distressed.
The temperature in winter is not high, which is also conducive to food preservation, Liu Qing peeled off all the fur, and the meat alone could not be hung on the wall. There is no way, I went to chop the firewood for another day, although these meats can be stored for a period of time, but as long as it is raw, it will still be bad, so Liu Qing must take advantage of the fact that they have not deteriorated, and quickly roast them all into jerky for storage.
I have to say that although Xiao Wu was injured this time, he also got enough meat for the two of them, so that they don't have to worry about lack of meat to eat this winter.
These furs still need to be dealt with, a dozen wolf skins, a panther skin, each with a lot of blood on it. Liu Qing first simply washed off the bloodstains of the pair of skins, and then ran to the ginger bean field and brought back a large basket of those dry ginger bean stalks and a large bundle.
Liu Qing doesn't know how to make these furs, but when he was in the village before, he saw a craftsman make his rabbit skin, and after the rabbit skin is peeled off, it is roughly sewn together, filled with hay, and then hung up and waited for it to dry before it can be used to make things.
There is probably such an impression in his mind, Liu Qing also learned the same, taking advantage of the fact that the fur was still soft, he brought hay, and roughly sewed the opening on the belly with a fishing line, and then stuffed hay inside, each skin was round, more than a dozen skins, stacked next to the firewood, squeezed a lot of space in the hole again. Nowadays, there seems to be little room in the cave except for the bed and the fire, and even the place that was originally used as a toilet has been much compressed.
A week later, Xiao Wu's wounds seemed to be much better, the blood scabs had fallen off a lot, and some of the wounds showed white and new skin. Liu Qing didn't dare to touch these wounds, for fear of hurting Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu lay there every day when he was fine, twisting his head and licking those wounds.
Liu Qing estimated that the wound should be very itchy when he touched it, because he was also injured, and he knew that the wound was painful at first, and when it healed, it would feel itchy.
In order to better help Xiao Wu heal his injuries and prevent him from licking his wounds, Liu Qing also tried his best to find a way to play with Xiao Wu every day, or take him to run and jump outside the hole, and even took two straw wolves as leather ball toys and kicked them around with Xiao Wu and the two outside.
It can be seen that Xiao Wu is having a lot of fun, and he doesn't lick his wounds much, and he is more active, which is also very good for his current injury recovery.
After more than 20 days, all the scabs on Xiao Wu's body have fallen off, and even the piece of skin and flesh that has fallen off has grown. It can be seen that Xiao Wu is very happy, of course, there is no hair on the injured part, but the hair on its body is still quite long, and it can basically be covered.
Liu Qing took out all the hay in the leather and prepared to make leather clothes. I don't know how to cut and sew, it doesn't matter, he didn't plan to make it so beautiful, remove the skin and limbs of the black panther, remove the tail, and the rest is almost a square, Liu Qing wrapped it around his body and tried it, he wanted to directly sew this leather and make it into a leather jacket, but he found that it was slightly small, which was enough, but after the skin dried, it shrank a little, so it was small.
I changed the skin of the largest wolf head, which was still a little small, and I had no choice but to cut a piece of coyote's skin with a dagger and connect it, sew it with a fishing line to form a straight shape, and put it off from the head, a little wide, and a piece of wolf scalp hanging from my back. Liu Qing flipped the wolf's scalp forward, like a hat.
Two more pieces were cut off and sewn on the shoulders, and a leather jacket was made. I tried it on my body, and then cut it with a dagger until it fits. Putting on the new leather coat, Liu Qing suddenly felt a lot warmer, but the hair was facing outward, in order to keep warm, Liu Qing took off his shirt and wore the leather jacket inside, but this time he turned the leather jacket upside down, the hair was facing inside, and after putting it on, he put on a coat outside.
This leather coat is really warm! Liu Qing only felt that spring had arrived, and his whole body was warm. Liu Qing also made a straight leather coat for the kid and put it on his body, Xiao Wu may feel uncomfortable and has been rubbing and rubbing, and this leather coat and coat color are completely different from those on Xiao Wu's body, which makes Xiao Wu look very funny. It seems that Xiao Wu doesn't like this dress very much, there is no way, Liu Qing has to take it off and keep it for himself to wear later.
Liu Qing didn't waste the extra fur, and directly sewed it into two large sheets, one spread on the bed as a mattress, and the other covered on the body as a quilt. When you go to bed at night, don't mention how comfortable it is. After doing this, there was still a black panther skin and some leftovers, Liu Qing looked at it, thought for a while, and simply sewed this black panther skin on, and made another leather shorts for himself, saying that it was shorts, but in fact, it was more appropriate to call it a short skirt. The skin of two wolf legs is cut into four strips and sewn together as a belt.
The weather is getting colder and colder, the plants here basically do not lose their leaves in winter, and the whole mountain is still green. Liu Qing was very happy, Xiao Wu was also very excited, the two of them played outside for a while, Liu Qing practiced arrows for a while, and then went to the mountain waterhole to catch a few fish.
By the end of the evening, a thin layer of snow had accumulated outside. The snow melted off when it first fell to the ground, so there was no snow until now. At night, Liu Qing stood in front of the wall, counting the marks on the wall, and there was a dense patch of hard roads, every ten in a row, just a full hundred.
has been here for more than three months, Xiao Wu is getting more and more burly, and now his height has reached Liu Qing's waist, and his physique is extremely strong, and he can easily throw Liu Qing to the ground. The two long fangs were white and sharp, and they ate more meat in one meal than Liu Qing ate in two meals. Under normal circumstances, animals like this eat for several days, and then catch them when they are hungry, but Xiao Wu has also changed his eating habits because he follows Liu Qing, almost whatever Liu Qing eats, he eats three meals a day, and one meal does not fall.
If it is really the kind that eats a meal with an open belly for a few days, it is estimated that Liu Qing's reserve of meat is not enough for it to consume for a long time. Despite this, most of the meat stored in the cave has been consumed, which even Liu Qing didn't expect, he thought he could eat meat for three months, but he only ate it for less than two months, not to mention that there are usually ginger beans and fish stickers to make up for it.
It seems that I still have to go hunting! Raising an animal like Xiao Wu is like raising a feeding machine. It is estimated that those who have raised large dogs at home have experienced, eating is not ordinary, feeding some meals and the like is OK, if you just feed meat, it is estimated that not many people can stand it.
Liu Qing now has considerable experience in hunting, elephant trunk pigs are best hunted, and their only hobby is to eat, as long as they throw some food as a trap, they will definitely be able to attract a group. However, you must be careful when hunting, you can't attack when you start the confrontation, and when they turn around, you can quickly get rid of one or two, and then you will definitely be fine. In short, don't let them take the opportunity to fight back, otherwise those bristles and fangs will not be vegetarian.
In addition, there are a lot of elephant trunk pigs, almost every ten or so only a small group, and so far, Liu Qing feels that there are at least dozens of elephant trunk pig herds he has seen, and there may be duplicates, but this shows that it is no problem to have at least a few hundred elephant trunk pigs here.
There are also a lot of coyotes, Liu Qing had killed a litter of coyotes before, and then he and Xiao Wu made another litter. After that, when Liu Qing was in the daytime, he saw a group of coyotes resting from a distance, but he didn't dare to provoke them.
In addition, there are some small animals, there are a lot of them, such as a big mouse with big ears, Liu Qing at first mistook it for a rabbit, but it turned out that it was not, not even like ears, rabbit ears are long pointed ears, and the ears of this animal are big and round, like a big fan, but it looks like a combination of squirrels and mice.
Liu Qing was found when he was chopping wood in the mountains and forests, this small animal lives in the trees, the most amazing thing is that they can actually use their ears to fly in the air, when jumping from one tree to another, the two big ears are like two wings, first curled up into a long strip, clinging to the body, and when it jumps into the air, the ears are open to the sky, the two front paws grasp the side of the ears, the buttocks pout, and use the big ears to glide forward with the help of the air.
Don't look at its small size, this flight can fly at least twenty or thirty meters away, and even if there is a branch or something in the middle of the obstacle, it is not afraid, the two front paws pull hard left and right, and the body will also change direction with the change of direction, very dexterous.
Every animal makes Liu Qing amazed, this is simply a miracle of nature, and the species created are wonderful.
Of course, when it comes to animals, you can't talk about dinosaurs. However, in Liu Qing's opinion, these dinosaurs are nothing to be afraid of, in addition to being larger, there are also those velociraptors and the like that are ferocious, and other herbivorous dinosaurs are much better, at least Liu Qing has seen a lot of herbivorous dinosaurs, most of them are docile, as long as you don't hurt it, or it doesn't feel that you are threatened, even if you go up to touch it, it won't care about you. People are so big, they have to eat non-stop every day, how can they take care of you.
Even if the plants here don't lose their leaves, you can feel that they are reviving every spring, and announce to nature with the new shoots that spring is coming!
I'm really sorry, I've had a cold in the past two days, nasal congestion and runny nose, brain pain, nasal congestion is so severe that my eye sockets hurt
