As the sun rises, the earth gets hotter and hotter.

Ye Xi found that many poles had been erected in the open space at some point, and many strips of meat were hanging densely on top of them.

The tribesmen each have a wooden barrel in their hands, holding the wooden barrel and shuttling between the poles from time to time, hanging the fresh meat skewered in the barrel with stitches.

The smell of meat in the open space was tangy.

Ye Xi looked at some of the dried meat that had been dried twice and had become hard and black, and felt that his cheeks were stiff for a while.

He once saw a man gnaw on a piece of jerky that had been dried five times, and the jerky was as hard as a stone, and after biting for a long time, he didn't leave a single tooth mark on it, and finally he didn't split it with a stone knife.

The cone was busy in the field, taking a hand from time to time, seeing Ye Xi beside him, he hurriedly put down the jerky in his hand and ran over: "It's a little stinky here, why don't you go to the mountain for a walk, or go back to the cave." ”

"It's okay, I don't stink. Ye Xi's chin raised slightly and pointed ahead, "Is this going to dry all the meat at once?"

Cone said with a bitter face: "No way, it's better to get all the sun today, otherwise it will be broken." But even if it's dried meat, I'm afraid it won't last much time, and I'll have to eat hard these days. ”

Ye Xi touched his chin and pondered, is there any way to preserve food, there is so much food in this transaction, it would be good if it could be stored, but unfortunately there is no refrigerator here......

The cone waited for a while, and seeing that Ye Xi still looked empty and didn't say a word, he ran back to work in the middle of the pole.

That's right! Ye Xi slapped his palm excitedly, you can dig the cellar!

After thinking of the idea, Ye Xi immediately began to look for the chief everywhere, and finally caught someone on Xiaotu Mountain.

After the two men had discussed, the chief immediately made a decision and ordered the warriors to dig a cellar in the cave at once.

The warriors received the order, chose a place in the cave and immediately buried their heads in the earth.

Living together in this one-third of an acre of land, the consequence is that as soon as there is anything new and lively to see, everyone will rush over.

Therefore, as soon as some idle Tushan people heard that there was a way to store food and that they wanted to dig a hole called "cellar" in the cave, they all came to watch curiously.

To Ye Xi's surprise, Mink also came over to watch the excitement.

Last night, Ye Xi confessed his identity to Mink, and released him as a slave, allowing him to choose whether to stay in Tushan or make other arrangements.

At that time, when the pheasant and the biting cuckoo knew that the mink was coming, they ran over excitedly, and when they saw the mink with the marks of slaves tattooed on its face and tortured and scarred, the two immediately hugged their heads and cried.

The mink let them cry, still looking indifferent.

In the end, as Ye Xi expected, Mink decided to stay in the Tushan tribe.

The soldiers dug the earth so fast that they could no longer be seen on the ground, but the foam was flying, and in a short time several large mounds were piled up next to the entrance of the cave.

The warriors on the ground cleared the mounds of dirt.

About half an hour later, several fighters crawled up covered in mud.

After digging the hole, Ye Xi instructed others to cut more planks, and during the day, put the planks in the sun to dry up and evaporate all the water. When the time comes, these planks are spread in the cellar to isolate the soil.

In the dry season, the sun is blazing, and by the afternoon, the planks that have been exposed to the sun are already dry and have no moisture.

The Tushan people were very efficient, and before dinner, they cleared all the remaining soil from the cellar and laid dry wooden planks. A spacious and clean cellar is complete.

"Why does this cellar preserve food?" the chief asked Ye Xi curiously.

By now, the people of the Tushan clan would no longer doubt the correctness of what Ye Xi said. They believe that even if it looks strange, as long as Ye Xi says it, it must be correct.

Ye Xi groaned: "...... Probably the thermal inertia of the soil?"

The chief looked confused: "Huh?"

Ye Xi smiled and snorted: "No matter what the reason is, it just works." ”

The chief nodded, and did not ask, "How long will it last?"

Ye Xi thought funny, now that the cellar has been dug, is it too late to ask this question again.

"It's fine before the rainy season. It's just that fresh meat still has to be dried into jerky, but the dried meat that has already been dried doesn't need to be dried repeatedly. ”

Can it be before the rainy season!!, the chief's eyes lit up, and he commanded the people to carry all the food to the cellar with even greater interest.

Until the last bit of food was stuffed in, the spacious cellar was stuffed to the brim.

There was a thud and the mouth of the cellar was covered with thick stone slabs.

The chief crouched on the ground and touched the slate, smiling contentedly and dreamily.

............

In the jungle near Tu Mountain.

Half a basin of water rests on a half-human-high wooden stake.

Above the clear water, there were many flying birds, large and small, all staring at the clear water covetously, fluttering their wings and wanting to rush down.

Finally one of the birds couldn't take it anymore, and one swooped out of the flock and rushed towards the basin.

Ten meters away.

Ye Xi bent his bow and arrow, his arm was accumulated, the bowstring was gradually pulled into the shape of a full moon, his thumb pulled the string, his index finger lightly raised the tail of the arrow, and his side head squinted his eyes in the direction of the arrow.

Sou!

The arrow whizzed forward, like a black light striking the bird.

The bird was pierced through the chest by an arrow, and fell straight to the ground without making a sound.

Sou!

Another sharp arrow was fired, and a bird fell.

Even though two birds died by the basin, the number of birds hovering in the sky continued unabated, staring at the basin at any moment, ready to swoop down.

Ye Xi put down his bow and arrow and stepped back ten meters.

Then he shot forward with his bow again.

Whoosh, after the black light, another bird was pierced by an arrow and fell around the basin.

Ye Xi raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, after his eyesight improved, his archery skills had improved so much.

Estimating his limit, Ye Xi took a few steps back, and with a whoosh, the arrow shot out - the distance was too far, and this time it only hit the wings.

Next, Ye Xi kept exercising his archery skills according to this distance.

Whoosh, one arrow after another was shot out, and when the arrows were finished, Ye Xi pulled a few more from the dead bird.

I don't know how long it has been......

"Ye Xi, you're hiding here, it's time to eat. ”

Ye Xi's fingers trembled, and the bowstring that was originally full suddenly loosened, and he lost his strength.

When I turned my head, it turned out to be a position.

Ye Xi broke away from a realm of selflessness.

I looked at the sky and found that the sun had set in the west, and I had been practicing all afternoon.

"Huo, why are there so many dead birds, you shot them to death. ”

At this moment, there were fifty or sixty birds that had been shot dead next to the stake, all stacked there.

Cangpan sighed and pinched the wings of a dead bird and looked at it, and found that there was a blood hole in each of them, and some of the arrows on the birds had not been removed. Obviously, these birds were all killed by Ye Xi.

Several birds fell directly into the basin when they were shot, and the originally clear water was now contaminated with blood.

However, even so, there are still many birds in the sky that refuse to leave.

- They are all too short of water.

Ye Xi put down his bow and arrows, looked at this scene, and sighed with emotion: "Let's go." ”

The warehouse was not too dirty, and he picked up all the dead birds on the ground: "These birds are too small to eat." ”

Ye Xi said indifferently: "It's okay, give Jiaojiao and Xiaohua them, they love to eat this." ”

"You're practicing this for the Reserve Trial?"

"Yes, it's going to be assessed in a month, so it's good to practice one more skill. ”

"With your current ability, there is a good chance that it will pass. Cangpan glanced at the bow and arrow in Ye Xi's hand, hesitated for a moment and said, "And your bow and arrow, you can only kill small things, so don't bother to practice." When you become a warrior, your strength becomes greater, and it is much better to kill prey with a spear than with a bow and arrow. ”

The arrows are too thin, and for large animals like dinosaurs here, an arrow like this is basically painless, meaning a little blood. Therefore, Cangpan felt that even if Ye Xi practiced his bow and arrow so hard now, it would be useless in the future.

However, bows and arrows also have advantages that spears can't reach, who says that bows and arrows can't shine Ye Xi listened with a smile and didn't refute.

Now although the soldiers obey Ye Xiyan in some aspects, once it comes to the field they are good at, they will be stubborn.

They will only believe the facts when they are in front of them.

So, let the time tell!

The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the jungle.

Above the basin, the birds that had been circling immediately fell a large area of hula, scrambling to bury their heads in the water......
