When the smell of meat began to waft in the cave, Ding Chen was digging the ground with a black knife. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The innermost part of the ground in this cave is made up of rock, or rocks that are directly exposed to the surface. Because according to Ding Chen, all the soil is rocky underneath, even the bottom of the sea, the difference is only how deep it is from the surface.

Ye Dai found that Ding Chen's black knife was really useful, not only could it be used to hunt and kill, but also to dig pits, and now it can be used as a chisel.

The rock here is a sedimentary rock, and the place Ding Chen chose is close to the edge of the cave and has traces of water erosion, so although there are no tools to do it, it is not very laborious to chisel.

After digging an irregularly shaped shallow pit about the size of a lunch box, Ding Chen stopped, cleaned up the stone chips in the pit, picked up a few small stones and put them in the pit, and then took a snakeskin bag and poured water into it.

There was not much water in the snakeskin bag, and when it was emptied, there was less than half of the water in the pit. Then he picked a few larger, intact stones and threw them into the fire pit, and then walked out. When he returned, he had a large handful of twigs in his hand.

"What is this?" Ye Daihu asked suspiciously.

"Locust branches." Ding Chen said: "We are lucky, just in time for the pods. ”

He sat down on the edge of the pit with a branch, plucked the pods from the branches, put them in the water of the shallow pit, and then explained to Ye Dai: "This thing is delicious when cooked, and it can get rid of insects." ”

"I didn't know that the fruit of the locust tree could be eaten." Ye Dai said.

"That's because you don't lack food." Ding Chen shrugged his shoulders, to be honest, he had also encountered some human gathering points in the past three years, most of them were in a situation of hunger and cold, and they relied on picking up garbage every day to live. Some of them are so hungry that they don't even let anyone go. It's the first time I've seen a stable life like an apartment, and the agricultural structure has been perfected. I don't know if the people in the apartment are particularly lucky.

When the pit was filled, he took the branches from which the pods had been plucked and returned to the fire pit, and roasted them by the campfire, ready to be added to the fuel later, before he said, "And you cannot rely on this as a staple food, for these pods are poisonous." ”

"What?" Ye Dai was taken aback, "Then you still want to eat?" ”

Ding Chen glanced at her and laughed, "Don't worry, eating these won't poison you." He pointed to his stomach, "But you can poison the parasite." ”

"You have a parasite in your stomach?" Ye Dai asked curiously, feeling a little disgusted at the same time.

"It's hard to say." Ding Chen took the branch in Ye Dai's hand and looked at it in front of him, "The water you drink and the food you eat may be contaminated by parasites, and by the time you find out that you have been hit, it will be too late, so don't let it go if you have the chance." ”

He looked at Ye Dai seriously, "A lot of the time it's not the beast that kills you, but a very inconspicuous little worm." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his saber and roasted it on the fire, then took the branch of the barbecue in Ye Dai's hand, used the knife to cut off a small piece of bear meat on the branch and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then handed the knife to Ye Dai and motioned for her to do the same.

"It's ready to eat." He said, "I guess you're hungry for a long time. He motioned to Ye Dai: "Try to cut it into small pieces before putting it into your mouth, so that you can save teeth." At this point, he sighed, "At times like these, you can't afford to hire a dentist." ”

"Does a dentist mean a doctor who specializes in dental diseases?" Ye Dai asked curiously.

"It's usually for teeth, and occasionally it's for country. However, it is easier to offend people when governing the country, so it is safer to treat teeth. Ding Chen replied seriously.

Ye Dai looked at him suspiciously, "What you said isn't true, right?" He hesitated for a moment, then said, with affirmative evidence, "You are lying to me." Do you like to talk nonsense to anyone, or do you only talk nonsense in front of women? ”

Ding Chen spread his hands and did not defend. "Actually, I only talk nonsense when I'm in a good mood."

"What about when you're in a bad mood!"

Ding Chen looked at Ye Dai and shook his head, "Trust me, you'd better not know." ”

Ye Dai looked at him with a research gaze, and after a long while, she shook her head and said, "Fortunately, Dr. Li is not a dentist. ”

"I think even if he wanted to be a specialist, he would only choose gynecology." Ding Chen said: "He seems to be very confident in gynecology. At this, he suddenly remembered what he had seen in the small restaurant that day, and asked, "Does he like martial arts very much?" ”

"Dr. Lee?" Ye Dai shook her head, wondering why Ding Chen would ask this, "He doesn't like to fight, thinking that this is causing him trouble." She shook her head and said, "In terms of his profession, it's not prejudice." ”

"That's weird." Ding Chen frowned, and said in his heart Since Dr. Li doesn't like to fight, what did he see that day that made him suddenly excited?

At this time, Ye Dai learned from Ding Chen's example, cut a small piece of bear meat and put it in her mouth, handed the knife and meat back to Ding Chen, and asked at the same time, "What do you mean by burning stones in the pit?" ”

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot." Ding Chen said. He peeled a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and then handed the meat and knife to Ye Dai. He took two branches, pulled out a smoking stone from the fire pit, picked it up and threw it into the stone pit next to him.

The hot stone fell into the water, and immediately made a "bang" sound, and at the same time a mist of water rose.

"What does that mean?" Ye Dai is now very curious about everything Ding Chen does, and it seems that Ding Chen always has various ways to surprise her.

"Heat transfer." Ding Chen explained: "Think about it, we have neither a lunch box nor a pot, what should we do if we want to boil water!" ”

"So you use stones to transfer heat?" Ye Dai is worthy of being a talent who has been trained as an engineer, and she immediately understood, she looked at Ding Chen with admiration, "This is really a good way." ”

"If you want to solve a problem, you can always find a way." Ding Chen said indifferently.

Ye Dai was stunned for a moment, watching him fall into silence.

"What's wrong?" Ding Chen saw that Ye Dai's expression was a little strange, and he was idle anyway, so he asked casually, "What did you think of again?" ”

"My father always found a solution to the problem, too." Ye Dai said: "He said that an engineer is the one who finds problems and solves them. ”

Ding Chen was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I heard, he is a very amazing person. ”

"Then you certainly haven't heard it all." Ye Dai smiled bitterly, "You know what?" When my father was still around, life in the apartment was much better than it is now, and we had a steady supply of meat and eggs. ”

"Speaking of which." Ding Chen looked at her, "If you don't mind, can I ask what happened?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing." Ye Dai said in a very calm tone: "It's just a very common parting of ways." ”

"Some of them have been separated?" Ding Chen was taken aback, he judged from the words of everyone in the apartment that something had happened in the apartment, but he thought it was an invasion of foreign enemies or a natural disaster, but he didn't expect it to be an internal commotion. Who would be introverted at such a time?

With this question, Ding Chen asked, "Why?" ”

"Because my father wanted to give everyone the right to decide." Ye Dai said leisurely.

"Sounds good." Ding Chen commented: "Then why is it split? ”

"Because people don't want the same things." Ye Dai's gaze became cold, and even the bonfire couldn't make her feel warm, "People will definitely choose the one that is most in their interests, so letting everyone make a decision is actually equivalent to no one being able to make a decision." ”

"I see." Ding Chen nodded and said, "Where did those people go?" ”

"I heard Carlo say you're going to explore the old city?" Ye Dai said: "You will see them." ”

Ding Chen had already vaguely guessed just now, and then looked at Ye Dai and said, "Didn't you say that it was very dangerous there?" ”

"The danger comes from many sides." Ye Dai suddenly lost interest in talking, and she said, "Let's talk about this matter after returning to the apartment." If we could go back to the apartment. ”
