Chapter 12: The Shadow of the Wolf in the Forest
When he didn't worry about food, Liu Ci's small life was still very comfortable.
It snowed for days, and in addition to eating every day, she spent almost all of her time practicing physical skills and finding her sense of qi. Liu Ci used the method of marking the trunk of the tree to record the day, and after a while, half a moon passed, and finally ushered in a sunny day without snow.
Half a month was not in vain, Liu Ci ate barbecue and his tongue was on fire, he chiseled a stone with a giant sword, and made a very ugly stone pot in his spare time. Although the edges are uneven and the bottom of the pot is thick and the heating is slow, when he drank the first sip of steaming broth after arriving in the other world, Liu Ci was still so happy that he wanted to cry.
She's not sensitive, she's completely greedy.
Because there is no seasoning, the dog broth is not very delicious. Dumb and don't eat the same kind of meat, which makes Liu Ci embarrassed. The little things all relied on fruits and nuts to live peacefully for half a month, obviously unhealthy, and fell N times a day when learning to walk, and Liu Ci, who was unscrupulous, laughed happily, so that Dumb was not wronged.
After the stone pot was ready, Liu Ci ate two meals of chestnut stewed fragrant meat, and drank the soup and water, so that his body could warm up all day.
The wild dog skin that was peeled off half a month ago was also blown dry, and most of it was destroyed by the fire of the golden pheasant, and the small pieces of dog skin were sewn up by Liu Ci, which could be made into a cloak like cloak over the hips. In fact, it is the warmest to make a coat, Liu Ci's technique can only barely piece the fur together, and when it comes to really making clothes, the turning of the sleeves is a technical problem. She also has to catch rabbits, and the "thread" for sewing the cloak is made by extracting the leaf stem fibers from the withered yellow banana leaves. In the textile chapter of "Qi Min Yaoshu", it is said that the ancients made rope and spinning yarn in this way, and if she could find hemp plants or cotton, maybe she could make her own clothes in the future.
It's just that if the "yarn" of weaving cloth is spun by rubbing with both hands, Liu Ci still thinks that Yali is very big.
Because it has never been nitrated, the dog hair coat not only smells big, but it will fall off when it is pulled, which makes Liu Ci very helpless, which is also a helpless thing, it seems that she has to change into "new clothes" every winter.
It was rare to encounter a sunny day, and Liu Ci was ready to go around the forest.
Although there are a lot of dog meat frozen in the snow, I can't tell how long the winter in the forest is, Liu Ci can't sit and eat the mountain empty, the bigger the snow falls, the more difficult it is for small animals like hares and pheasants to forage for food. Liu Ci didn't have a clue what to plant in the spring of next year, so he went to the forest to check the species, and slowly searched, there will always be some harvest.
After breakfast, Liu Ci put on a cloak and was about to go out with a wooden stick, but Dumb pulled her trouser legs and wanted to follow.
Liu Ci smiled, the little guy had begun to grow teeth, his body was no longer pink, and the white short hair on his skin turned black, which was different from the ordinary yellow-haired wild dogs. Of course, whether it is a yellow dog or a black dog, Liu Ci is a burden to go out with it. You must know that the heavy snow for half a month, the snow is still not as deep as Liu Ci's calves and stomach, Liu Ci has to clean up the snow in front of the tree hole every day, otherwise one person and one dog would have been flooded by the snow.
In such weather, it's pitiful, how could Liu Ci let it follow?
Before leaving, Liu Ci went to see the buried mountain grape seeds, the seedlings were not afraid of the wind and snow and had risen one foot high on the ground, the two grape leaves were very cute, and the grape seedlings had a thin layer of black ash, which was the grass ash she hated before, this thing stopped bleeding just by the way, in fact, it was the cheapest raw fertilizer. Liu Ci poured some spring water on the grape seedlings. It is a few days less than the seedling emergence time described in "Qi Ming Yaoshu", and it seems that the jade pond water can also shorten the growth cycle, which is good news for her.
Leaving enough food for Dumb and tying the branch door from the outside, Liu Ci shrunk his neck, and carried a wooden stick to find a suitable place to set up a trap before starting to search the forest.
The snow weighed down the small trees, and the forest was so quiet that even the sounds of birds and birds could hardly be heard.
A piece of silver, the low shrubs are fine, the canopy of the tall trees are all white, and the mountains and mountains are held up with a large white and green background from a distance, which are jagged and scattered, and it looks like a beautiful scenery with a great sense of shock.
It seems that there has never been such heavy snow on the earth, or should it be said that with Liu Ci's former identity, no matter how hot or cold it is in summer and cold in winter, the place where she stays will always have a constant temperature in all seasons.
Only one year when Zhou Gongzi invited her to ski indoors, Liu Ci felt "cold" for the first time.
It's only been two months, and she can't even remember the face of her playmate Zhou Gongzi, Liu Ci is suddenly a little afraid that one day she will forget the appearance of her parents and sister-in-law.
A small tree, overwhelmed by the weight of the snow, suddenly snapped off the middle of its trunk and crashed into another tree with a heavy sound. Liu Ci was awakened by this movement, and he didn't care about the sadness and sadness, so he quickly pulled out his feet and left the place.
Shortly after she left, a heavy animal in the snow followed the sound, with sharp fangs, burrs as hard as needles, and extremely strong, with a nose and mouth shaped like a porcupine on earth.
The snow covered Liu Ci's footprints, and the fanged sword pig found nothing.
……
Most of the grass is one year old and one withered, and occasionally there are long-lived species that are also crushed under the snow. The leaves of most of the trees have long since withered and fallen off, and the evergreen trees are not everywhere, and the only thing left in the world seems to be the white of snow and the brown and gray bark, which have no life.
Only by approaching the shade of the trees, which are still leafy in winter, can you find a few feet of bare dead leaves and mud.
Whether it is a magical beast or an ordinary beast, except for foraging, they rarely come out to activities in winter to reduce unnecessary calorie consumption. Liu Ci just liked the quietness of the forest, no matter how powerful "Qi Min Yaoshu" was, it would not be recorded in all aspects, Liu Ci, who can be called a novice in life, didn't know that the reason why the Moloch Mountains were quiet in winter was definitely not just because of the cold.
Ordinary animals born and raised, and Warcraft that are slightly inferior in strength know that every time the days are not good in winter, the temper of high-level Warcraft will become very irritable. Usually small beasts such as hare pheasants that sneak past the high-level Warcraft in front of them are too lazy to take care of, if they appear in the territory of high-level Warcraft in winter, their fate will probably not be very lucky.
High-level demonic beasts do not rely too much on carnivorous life, the demon core in their bodies makes them rarely feel hungry, and the Moloch Mountains in winter are filled with an aura that makes high-level demonic beasts crazy, making them extremely murderous.
Liu Ci walked in the mountains and forests, quite miscalculated.
Although there are many pictures of various crops on "Qi Min Yaoshu", how can there be a picture of what they look like when they wither? In Liu Ci's opinion, the dead vines and grass roots can't distinguish each other, she can't tell what kind of crops they belong to when they are full of vitality, let alone collect seeds.
She carried a day's rations, but she was unwilling to return halfway, so she continued to walk ruthlessly.
The snowy road was difficult to walk, and Liu Ci was afraid of losing his way, so he carved marks on the trunk of the tree with sharp stones along the way, so he dared to move forward to an unfamiliar place.
Today she walked extraordinarily far, I am afraid that she walked more than 20 miles at noon, she was careful not to encounter any danger along the way, insisted on practicing physical skills and had enough meat, Liu Ci's physical fitness has improved significantly recently.
She memorized the nearby terrain and landforms all the way, and had only left the tree hole for a few miles before, and it was rare to have the opportunity to walk so far, and she was sorry for the sunny day if she didn't take the opportunity to reconnoiter the terrain.
Just as Liu Ci was feeling the time and preparing to return the same way, the vision ahead suddenly widened. Seeing the narrow and steep drop in his sight, Liu Ci was a little surprised, and he seemed to have walked to the intersection of mountains and mountains. Although the terrain she was on at the moment was still very high, at least she could find out the direction of the mountain range, which was so large that she was spinning like a headless fly these days.
Liu Ci was pleasantly surprised for another reason, she found a few verdant plants on the side of the thorn bush. The leaves are broad, a bit like lotus leaves, but the stems are thicker, and the leaves are also heart-shaped, which is the yam recorded in the "Qi Min Yaoshu"!
Yam, tubers and stems are edible, and potatoes and sweet potatoes rely on tuber budding to reproduce, a nest of potatoes may grow under the leaves of a potato, and a tuber can reproduce several, it is really an endless variety.
The tubers are soft and slightly sweet after boiling, and are often cooked with chickens and rabbits. The stems should be peeled off, boiled to remove the astringency, and mixed with sesame oil shallots, which is a flavorful side dish.
The whole body is a treasure plant, which is relatively easy to plant, and the extensive management is the best, Liu Ci is naturally overjoyed.
Carefully bypassing the thorn bushes, Liu Ci cut the stem and dipped some juice on his fingertips, and after two minutes, his fingers became red and itchy, and it was undoubtedly a potato.
She used the tip of the wooden stick in her hand to exert force, and quickly cut away the snow, the frozen soil was difficult to dig, and it took a lot of effort to dig out a few potato plants and put them on the ground in a pile, and there were more than 20 potato eggs large and small, so that Liu Ci was quite satisfied with this harvest. There was no bag containing things, Liu Ci remembered his wide trouser legs, untied the cloth bag and stuffed the potatoes all over his calves, and when he tied the cloth strips tightly again, the calf trousers were bumpy and swollen, looking like the big pants worn by the clown, which made Liu Ci himself laugh.
Jumped on the spot, there was no danger of falling the potato, but the trouser legs were so heavy that they seemed to be tied to a big sandbag, Liu Ciquan practiced basic skills while walking, and walked a few steps to adapt to it.
You can also eat the stem of the yam, it is not easy to eat some green vegetables in the winter, what is it without sesame oil, and she is used to things without salt and taste. Liu Ci bundled all the potato stems together and prepared to take them away, and was about to carefully bypass the thorn bushes to return the same way, when the originally quiet forest suddenly became restless.
Liu Ci pricked up his ears.
The sound gradually came down from the top of the high mountain, the sound came first, as if there were ten thousand beasts running together, all kinds of birds that did not know where to hide before flew from the forest to the air, the snowflakes fanned by the wings blurred Liu Ci's vision, the long-armed monkey quickly swung away between the branches, and the beasts ran together on the ground.
The more common ones are parrot sparrows, monkey pheasants, and panicked rabbit foxes.
Liu Ci didn't know a small number of animals at all, and many other animals avoided them during their actions, so they were probably Warcraft.
In this mountain, there are so many magical beasts hidden!
Liu Ci thought that it was really fateful that he could live safely until now, and the next second he realized that he realized that the existence of enough beasts to run together would be what kind of crisis would it be?
In the snowflakes raised in the sky, a wolf howl that shook the mountains and forests sounded, and a wolf with a silver coat suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the wind was like a knife everywhere it went, making the snowflakes float around the road.
The size of the silver wolf is three or four times that of ordinary wolves, and the temperament is elegant and athletic, with only a pair of wolf eyes, Liu Ci can feel the tyranny in it from afar!
It rests above the canopy of a towering tree, its limbs dangling in the air, and it roars in the sky.
A silver wolf that doesn't have wings, but can fly.
Liu Ci swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and the sense of fear rushed up from the center of her feet, and then turned around in her mind and passed back to her feet, which forced her to move subconsciously - the big monster?!!
The forehead is pinched, and the one who doesn't run at this time is the real stupid melon!
