Chapter 409: Together
Gong Jiaheng hit the copper all night, and the next morning he heard Shao Xuan's movement from the tree, and when he came out of the stone house, his eyes were full of bloodshots, which was terrifying.
"What's wrong with you?" Shao Xuan also heard the sound of a blow at night, but when he wanted to rest, this noise was still bearable. People who often hunt in the mountains and forests, if they rest in the mountains and forests at night, from time to time they will hear the huge roars of beasts and the sounds of various birds and insects.
When Gong Jiaheng heard Shao Xuan's words, he raised his red eyes to look at Shao Xuan, the muscles on his face twitched twice, and said, "It's nothing." Then he turned around and walked back to the cave.
There was some water stored in the cave, and Gong Jiaheng scooped the water with the husk as a scoop and washed it on his face, sobering up his mind and calming down his thoughts that had been tangled all night.
"I thought about it. Gong Jiaheng squatted next to the wooden bucket filled with water and said in a deep voice. He still had the husk in his hand and scooped it in the bucket, but he didn't scoop out any more water.
Shao Xuan turned to that side, indicating that he was listening, and asked Gong Jiaheng to continue.
Gong Jiaheng didn't raise his head, his hand holding the scoop was still scooping in the bucket, but his eyes were staring at the ground, as if there was something very attractive on the ground.
"Aren't you going to find Gongjia Mountain? I thought about it and thought, I'd better go with you. Saying that, Gong Jiaheng seemed to argue, and hurriedly continued: "You are so young, the first time you come to this place, you must not be familiar with this area, I have lived for twenty years, and I have gone out to find it many times, so I can give you some guidance." ”
Shao Xuan paused, as if he had just reacted, slapped his face, and said with a smile: "...... That's great!"
"Put away the smile on your face, don't think I don't know what's going on in your kid's heart. Tut. Why do I want to hit someone?" Gong Jiaheng threw the scoop and picked up the big copper hammer that he was fighting the beast, "Eat first, eat enough and have the strength to work!"
If you want to find Gongjia Mountain, you have to prepare some life-saving things, first of all, medicine. Medicines or poisons to heal wounds, as well as food, tools, and so on, must be prepared.
It wasn't long since Gongjiaheng went out to look for Gongjiashan last time, and if Shao Xuan hadn't appeared, he hadn't planned to set off again so soon, so many tools hadn't been prepared. However, now that the plans have changed, it is time to get what is needed.
Shao Xuan's armor was made of the bone plate on the back of the crocodile they had eaten yesterday, and he was not used to wearing it at first, just like those crocodiles themselves would be restricted by the bone plates on their backs. Shao Xuan put on the armor, although the flexibility has been changed, but compared to the insect skin he once worn, the comfort is still a lot worse. However, in this situation, you can't ask too much, it's good to have something to wear, as long as the protection is good.
After making the armor. Gong Jiaheng took Shao Xuan to collect medicine: "Those who heal and poison are more prepared"
When he came back from collecting medicine, Shao Xuan was familiar with the armor. While helping Jia Heng set traps.
It would take another three to five days to prepare, so he wasn't going to stop there.
The water cage that caught the crocodile was set up again, and Gong Jiaheng used a kind of animal meat as bait, hid the medicine in the bait, and then hung it in the cage. When the crocodile swims into the cage and bites the bait and pulls it down, the open cage door will close due to the pull, and will not open automatically unless someone comes to open it or the cage is knocked open. But by that time the crocodile had already been drugged. The loss of strength is very fast, and there is no power to directly knock through the cage.
"You be careful with this medicine, as long as you have a little bit," Gong Jiaheng compared it with his thumb and index finger, which was not as big as a mung bean, "You can directly put people down, of course, if you are as powerful as us, you can last a little longer, and weaker people can't." ”
One point can put down an adult, and the medicine ball that Gong Jiaheng put in the bait is the size of a ping-pong ball, and after those crocodiles eat it, they still have the behavior of struggling.
The so-called drug, in fact, is only relative, for some creatures it is a drug, eating it will only be comatose, but for other species, it is a lethal poison. If a person is given the same dose of medicine as those crocodiles, it is not the result of a coma, and they may not be able to sleep and burp directly.
At the same time, Gong Jiaheng also told Shao Xuan that he should not give too much medicine to the prey, and when the time comes, it will affect people when they are slaughtered and eaten, so they must master that degree. Otherwise, what if you give those crocodiles too much medicine, and then you eat and eat and fall?
In three days, Gong Jia Heng prepared his own tools, and gave Shao Xuan an axe, if Shao Xuan has nothing to use, when he encounters trouble, he will have to be rescued by Gong Jia Heng, and the convenience for Shao Xuan is also for Gong Jia Heng's own convenience.
For three days, no crocodiles were hooked in the water cage that Gongjia had set up, and I don't know if those crocodiles didn't find the bait or didn't come to this place.
"How do we cross the river?" asked Shao Xuan.
Although this main river is wide, standing on one side of the riverbank, you can see the other side of the riverbank, which is not worth mentioning compared to the river that directly separated the tribe in the first place.
"Do you want to make a boat, or a raft?" asked Shao Xuan.
"Don't think about that, you can't walk the river, although the river looks calm, but the cage on the water hasn't caught a crocodile for three days, which means that the big one is now active in this section, if it is to make a raft or a boat, you have to go farther and use it again, it can't be used here, it will be swallowed by the boat and people, that guy is very difficult, and it is also time-consuming. Gong Jiaheng said.
If he can catch a crocodile, it means that the big guy in the river is not moving around, but if he can't catch a crocodile for several days, it means that the other "small" crocodiles in the river are all scared away and dare not compete for food here.
"So what?" Shao Xuan waited for Gong Jiaheng to tell him his method, since Gong Jiaheng often went over, there must be his way.
Gong Jiaheng just smiled proudly, then took out a wooden whistle and blew it in three beats.
"Toot-toot-toot-"
The whistle is slightly sharp, and it is heard in the distance through the woods.
After a while, Shao Xuan looked in the air.
A brown-black figure flew over from a distance, more than four meters long.
"Look, here's the solution. Gong Jiaheng looked at the birds flying in the air and said as if showing off.
It was a bird-like bird, mostly brown and black, with only a few gray and white patterns.
The bird did not come down immediately after flying, but rested on a tree, looking at Shao Xuan, a stranger, vigilantly.
"Come down, Hammer, this is Shao Xuan, cross the river with me this time. Gong Jiaheng said.
The bird didn't know if it understood, looked at Shao Xuan, and then at Gong Jiaheng, and called "quack", but it didn't come down.
Gong Jiaheng dragged out a leftover beast carcass before luring the bird down from the tree.
"If you don't come down, you will come down if you have something to eat?!" For this bird not to give face, Gong Jiaheng also kicked it with his foot after it came down, and the force was well controlled, and he did not directly kick or kick away.
"Quack!" the bird chirped, ignoring Gong Jiaheng and pecking at the food quickly.
"Take us over when you're full, do you hear it?" or I'll kill you with a hammer!" Gong Jiaheng threatened with a copper hammer, but unfortunately the bird didn't even look at Gong Jiaheng, it seemed that there was only food in its eyes.
However, if you look closely, you will find that when Gong Jiaheng spoke, his head was slightly tilted towards Gong Jiaheng's side, and the words were still listened to.
Seeing that the bird ignored himself, Gongjia Heng kept a straight face, snorted twice and smashed the copper hammer in his hand to the ground, and then sat down to rest. He told Shao Xuan about the bird.
"I set a trap to catch it, and I put a copper chain around my neck, so I planned to pluck the feathers and slaughter it at night, but that day there was a tremor in the mountains and forests, and many stones rolled down from the mountains, and the stones that rolled down were secondary, mainly all kinds of panicked beasts in the forest, a mess, and the traps set up were useless in that situation, and I was almost hit by a beast. At that time, I was also lucky, and when I saw the bird struggling and screaming, I untied the chain and picked it on the bird's back.
At first, it flew up and tried to lift me off, but after I choked my neck a few times, it was much more settled. Later, when the chaos on the ground ended, I forced it to land, thinking, if it was disobedient, I would just come hard, kill it, anyway, there are woods below, and with it padding, I won't fall to death, but this guy is quite cooperative.
Later, when the crisis had passed, I would come back from hunting, and if it was around, I would throw some meat at it, and gradually it would become cooked, and sometimes it would come to me when it was hungry and could not find food or was injured and could not win the other birds in the flock. It's been more than ten years!" Gong Jiaheng recalled with a look on his face, and then said to Shao Xuan complacently: "How is it, I'm not bad, right? Although it's not obedient, it can help a lot." Without it, it would have been more difficult for us to cross the river, and we would have to meet the crocodiles, and maybe the big one in the river. ”
"Actually, I used to have one too, bigger than yours, and obedient. Shao Xuan recalled.
"Then where is it now?" Gong Jiaheng asked, he felt that Shao Xuan was bragging, and he made it clear that he didn't believe it.
"I haven't seen each other in a year. Shao Xuan said with emotion.
"Huh-" Gong Jiaheng sneered, "The one you said must have run away with the birds." ”
"No, it always walks alone. Shao Xuan said. Mountain eagles are not social animals, and unless they are in company, they are usually loners and often compete with each other.
But what the hell is that guy doing now? (To be continued......)
