Chapter 43: Dragon Egg
I don't know how long it took, Liu Qing woke up slowly, his brain seemed to have been hit, he was confused, and his thoughts were very chaotic. Looking at the familiar things in the cave, I slowly remembered what was going on, after eating the ginger bean, I actually fainted for so long, it was very dark outside, it seemed to be night, and when I turned my head to look, Xiao Wu was sleeping very soundly on the grass bed.
Shaking his head, Liu Qing slowly stood up, walked to the entrance of the cave, looked up at the sky, and sure enough, it was night, and several stars were twinkling in the night sky. But how long had he been asleep, a day, or a few hours? He didn't know, so he felt for his flashlight and counted the painting marks on the stone wall again, or forty-three.
The fire has been extinguished, and when I touch the stones next to the fire, it is already cold, and I really can't figure out what is going on, and the only thing I can confirm is that I am not dead. I thought that if I was poisoned, I was almost dead, but now it seems that this poison is not fatal, at most it will make people unconscious for a while. But how long has he been in a coma? He doesn't know, unless, unless Xiao Wu is allowed to eat, he can be sure by observing it on the side to see how long it has been unconscious.
But he was still a little hesitant, he was an adult, Xiao Wu was just a little tiger, let it be tested? He didn't dare, he didn't want to, he was afraid that something would happen. In the end, he decided not to try, as long as he knew that this thing was poisonous and could make people unconscious.
"Maybe it's just been a coma for a day!" Liu Qing thought about it, it should be like this, and when he lifted the charcoal that had fallen on the ground before, he added another one to the stone wall. Suddenly I felt very hungry, so I lit the fire again, roasted a piece of meat, devoured it all, and drank a jar of leftover broth from the last time, and then I felt better. Turning his head to see, Xiao Wu was still sleeping, and he had no intention of waking up at all, so he didn't bother it, and he lay down next to it and gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Liu Qing was still woken up by Xiao Wu's licking, and looking at Xiao Wu like that, he should also be hungry. Liu Qing talked to it while going to cook, and of course it was inevitable to do some exercise during the period.
The two of them ate two large pieces of meat, a whole pot of soup, plus four grape fruits, and two large vine melons in one meal. Xiao Wu's belly was round, and even Liu Qing felt a little panicked. It's been a long time since I've eaten so much, and this coma should have been quite long, at least for a day.
Wait! Liu Qing's mind flashed, he would fall into a coma if he ate ginger beans? Wouldn't that be able to make use of it? Just imagine, if he used this ginger bean to make a trap and let those animals eat it, wouldn't that be tantamount to waiting for the rabbit and reaping the benefits of the fisherman!
After eating enough, his brain is also flexible, and he can even come up with this method, Liu Qing almost admires himself to death! Reaching out and stroking Xiao Wu's head, his face bloomed with happiness. Just do it, and just roast the three big ginger beans left over from yesterday.
The smell of baked potatoes wafted and made him want to eat more, but he held back. Sometimes it's so strange, even when you're full, you still want to eat more when you see something delicious. Liu Qing smelled this tempting fragrance, and even Xiao Wu was attracted by this taste, thinking that Liu Qing was doing something delicious, he kept wandering around him, rubbing Liu Qing's legs with his body from time to time.
Liu Qing naturally wouldn't feed it, and when the ginger beans were cooked, Liu Qing pulled them aside with a stick, let them cool, cut them with a dagger, and cut each potato into eight pieces, each about the size of his fist. Place on large leaves and wrap well. Xiao Wu was a little aggrieved, because Liu Qing didn't give it something delicious.
patted its little head with his hand, and said with a smile, "This thing can't be eaten, it will be poisoned if you eat it!" Xiao Wu didn't understand his words, but it seemed that he had no hope of eating it, so he twisted his little butt and walked to the bed very dissatisfied, and lay on the bed.
Liu Qing held the wrapped ginger bean block, walked out of the cave, walked to the dense forest next to it, put a piece in the east and a piece in the west, all of them were basically placed next to the roots, and carved a mark with a dagger on the tree where the ginger beans were placed, so that it was convenient to find it next time.
Although he didn't know if there would be animals to eat these things, traps were originally about chance. Even if you are an old hunter who knows the path of some animals, putting a trap is also a chance of hitting it. However, Liu Qing was very confident in his trap, such a big ginger bean, he only ate a quarter, and he was in a coma for so long, and the effect of the medicine was very fast, almost fainting within a few minutes of eating.
For the animals, eating such a small piece is enough to stun them, and besides, if they are unconscious for so long, as long as they eat, they must have enough time to clean them up!
After placing the trap, Liu Qing turned around and returned to the cave. After a brief tidying up, he walked out of the cave with a large bundle of arrows and a longbow on his back, and Xiao Wu naturally came out with him. Liu Qing still has to practice archery, the number of bullets is small, and it is a limited resource, the bow and arrow will definitely become his main weapon in the future, even a sharpshooter needs to practice marksmanship often, not to mention him, a beginner in bow and arrow.
I haven't practiced for more than 20 days, and my archery has obviously regressed a lot, perhaps because of an arm injury. In archery, the force of the bowstring is different every time, and the flight distance of the arrow is definitely different, not to mention the weight and length of the arrow, as well as the wind and other reasons will affect the accuracy of the archery. But now, Liu Qing obviously feels that his archery skills have regressed, even if his judgment is still there, but he can't hit the target. Twenty arrows have been fired in a row, but only three arrows have been hit.
After practicing for a while, Liu Qing ran over to pick up the arrows and take a short rest. Then adjust the distance, the original distance of about 30 meters, now adjust to 15 meters, and wait for the accuracy of this distance to improve, and then extend the distance.
Xiao Wu hasn't come out to play for a long time, running east, jumping west, in the grass, in the woods, playing happily, and occasionally catching one or two insects to play. Liu Qing practiced very hard, and he didn't have time to play with it. After practicing for an afternoon, Liu Qing felt that he had a feeling again, an average of ten can hit seven or eight targets, although he was aiming at the bull's-eye, and most of the positions of the arrows were in the lower right of the bull's-eye.
Liu Qing went to collect another wave of arrows, and when he came back to shoot again, he adjusted the aiming position slightly, but the result was biased upwards again. Stop and think about it carefully, it should be that the strength is not the same when you shoot the arrow, the force was too small before, and the pull is too open when you shoot these times. After that, he decided that when shooting arrows in the future, he would hold the bow with his left arm and stretch out, pull his right hand to the left chest, close his left eye, and open his right eye to aim.
This position is a little ugly, because if you maintain this position, your upper body will lean forward slightly, and it will look like you are kicking your buttocks, but if you don't, it will be difficult to aim. After all, the bow he made was not professional, and it could not be pulled into a full moon, and after a long period of practice, he also felt that pulling to this extent was basically his most comfortable posture, and at the same time, the arrows he shot flew far enough and were powerful enough.
When the sky gradually darkened, Liu Qing went to take all the arrows and called Xiao Wu back to the cave together.
After sleeping peacefully all night, Liu Qing couldn't wait to get out of the cave and go to see the trap he had set after waking up.
When I went to the place where I put the ginger beans yesterday, I looked at more than a dozen places in a row, and the ginger beans in each place were actually gone! Liu Qing felt a frenzy in his heart, but after the ecstasy, he calmed down again, although there were so many places to put it, but maybe it was eaten by the same animal, it was not impossible.
No matter how many animals ate what he had put on, he had enough time to clean them all up. But for the time being, it's better to eat first and replenish your physical strength, otherwise you won't have the strength to work!
The broth had already been boiled in the faucet pot, Liu Qing and Xiao Wu quickly started eating, and after eating, Liu Qing picked up his equipment and was about to go out, and Xiao Wu followed behind him. Liu Qing wanted to leave Xiao Wu in the hole, but after thinking about it, Xiao Wu was already so big after all, almost to his knees, and he should remember that he would go outside to touch it, and today is to "collect the corpse", there should be no danger.
So Liu Qing took Xiao Wu out of the cave together, turned his head to seal the door of the cave, and set off happily towards the forest.
Walking into the forest before, Liu Qing first went to a tree where the trap was placed and looked, the things had already been eaten, and there were still some footprints on the ground, which looked like the hoof prints of some kind of animal. Xiao Wu's curiosity did not change at all, and he wandered around and sniffed it, and he didn't know if it smelled something.
Liu Qing searched on the ground, trying to see the direction of the footprint, but this is a mountainous area, with many stones, less soil, and more fallen leaves, and the direction of the footprint is really difficult to judge, and he does not have the sensitive sense of smell of animals, so he can only rely on this old-fashioned method to track. However, Xiao Wu sniffed and smelled, it seemed to be moving along a line, Liu Qing didn't know what Xiao Wu smelled, but he was curious, could it smell the prey? Isn't that a dog's nose?
Anyway, Xiao Wu's appearance still made him interested, so he didn't speak, just followed Xiao Wu all the time, wanting to see where he wanted to go with his head down.
After a while, Xiao Wu walked under a tree, Liu Qing thought it had found its prey, looked up and looked around, and was immediately surprised. Isn't this tree exactly one of the locations where the trap was placed yesterday? It was really found by Xiao Wu, and it was thirty or forty meters away from the previous location, and Liu Qing didn't think that Xiao Wu could smell what was put yesterday from such a distance.
Moreover, there was nothing left under the tree at all, only the marks he left on the tree, and the ginger beans used for traps were also eaten! Moreover, he had not come to see this position in the morning, and he remembered it very clearly!
Liu Qingzheng felt that Xiao Wu's nose was magical, and Xiao Wu turned around and walked away again. Liu Qing looked at Xiao Wu with his head down and twisting his buttocks, he didn't feel funny at all, but felt very powerful, so he continued to follow Xiao Wu to see where he would go.
The locations of the traps placed yesterday were found out by Xiao Wu one by one, but Xiao Wu still didn't mean to stop, Liu Qing followed Xiao Wu, he faintly had a feeling, following Xiao Wu, I'm afraid I can really find the prey!
(I stayed up in the middle of the night, writing such a hot chapter, I really can't sign a contract, if I do, I must work hard, write two or three chapters a day, and now I can't even sign a contract, and I don't ask for anything, it's simply no motivation!) If you think it looks good, you can click on a collection, I heard that the amount of collection has gone up, and it will be easier to sign a contract. And I heard that if you sign a contract, you will have a full attendance award, which is hundreds of dollars a month!)
