Chapter 015: Eagle Vulture Fights Fire

PS: Tomorrow for the New Year, I wish all book friends a happy New Year and all the best!

The big guy saw that he couldn't hit, turned around and chased after him, and just flapped his wings to the door of the cave, and everyone saw that it was an eagle vulture.

When the eagle saw that the door was small, he shrank his wings, and with a snort, his whole body swept past the door of the cave, and flew straight into the hole, and looked at the creature whose wings were bigger than the bison, and the dog and the little wolf were so frightened that they took a few steps back.

The father and the eldest son were about to reach out to catch it, but they did not expect that the eagle had escaped the fire at the door, but they could not turn around for a while, and threw themselves directly into the fire in the hole, and the feathers on their heads and bodies burned directly, and when they came back to their senses and fluttered to the side, they were already burned and rolled on the ground.

At this time, I saw the eldest son and the second son rushing up with an arrow, and they rode on the eagle vulture, one twisting his neck, and the other pulling his wings, which scared the eagle vulture enough.

The father, the dog, and the little wolf went up to help, and subdued the big guy in a few strokes, and finally the father cut off his neck with an axe, and the fight was over.

After catching the eagle vulture, everyone was more vigilant, thinking that animals might come in at any time, but they hadn't slept for a few days, and everyone was in urgent need of rest, so they continued to arrange sleep, the father slept first, and the children stood guard.

The eldest son put the steel drill into the fire and tried it with a bow and arrow that his father had basically never used along the way.

The second son picked up a piece of sandstone and sharpened the knife, and after using it for so long to kill the knife and the axe, he was a little unhappy, and arranged for four dogs to guard by the fire near the door, and arranged for four little wolves to watch the movement outside the cave between the two fires, and the other four dogs sat around the owner, mainly paying attention to the danger inside the cave.

Fortunately, there was no danger after that, and after two shifts, the sky slowly brightened.

The eldest son made breakfast, woke up his father and the second son, took turns eating, fed the dog and the little wolf, and decided to pack up his things and go on.

Not for a while. They had already walked the road, over mound after mound, over two streams, and at noon they had come into a col. This place is a bit like the pot bottom hole they first went out to stay in, but there is only half of the pot bottom here, one side is a high mountain, one side is a deep ditch, but coincidentally there is also a stone cave here. On the hillside of a zhang away above the edge of the meadow, it is just not as big as the hole at the bottom of the pot, it is more like the natural formation of heaven and earth, it is made of digging out the mud and sand in the middle of several boulders, the hole is not very regular, the hole is very small, only one person is allowed to bend over to enter and exit, there is a spring water gurgling out at the entrance of the cave, and it is convenient to use.

There are no big trees here, not even bushes. There are no tall weeds, they are all hard grasses that are not more than half a card long, but there are large piles of animal feces everywhere far and near, it seems that there are many big animals here, and the dung forms round lumps one by one, some of which have been dried very much and can be burned when picked up.

The fly in the ointment of the dung mound is that it only has heat - not much heat, which can only be used for cooking, roasting and facing the fire, and there is no bright fire light, and it cannot be illuminated. It would be nice to find something to light up.

Everyone didn't care about that, they first picked up a lot of dung and put them into the cave, and then they found something to eat outside the cave together.

As usual, they were divided into two groups, four dogs and four wolf cubs. Going out to hunt and looking for meat, the three cubs took four dogs into a group, the dogs were on guard, and the three cubs were looking for wild vegetables.

In this meadow, there is hardly anything to eat. However, at the foot of the mountain, I found a few bushes of King Kong vine and a few sheep candy, you can burn and eat, the taste is similar to that of potatoes, it tastes powdery, it can basically fill the stomach, but you can't eat more, you can't eat too much, your stomach is swollen too much, but you can't solve it, it's very uncomfortable.

Watching the sun go down little by little on the distant mountains, and still haven't found anything delicious, my father is anxious, and he also knows that he must not panic, if he panics, the children will lose their opinions, and if that happens, it will be troublesome.

After careful searching, on the top of the stone cave, they found a few more hoops of king thatch, thatch roots can also be eaten, and there is a hint of sweetness to eat, although it cannot fill the stomach, but chewing something in the mouth is better than nothing.

After digging up a large bundle of thatch roots, they took them to the creek to wash them.

The second son was a little upset in his stomach and wanted to go downstream to make it easier, but he didn't go far, and as soon as he squatted down, he found that there were some like cool grass by the stream, and he didn't care about lifting his pants, so he ran to the stream.

When I came to the brook and took a closer look, it was really cool grass, and if I could fry it, it would be a good thing, but it would be better to eat it with rice--Thinking about it, the second son couldn't help but make his throat sound and drool.

The father looked at the strange appearance of the second son from a distance, and did not know what he was doing, so he shouted loudly to him to go back quickly, and when he heard that the child found the Liangxiu grass, he also ran over happily, and the eldest son also followed, while laughing and scolding to let the second son run away, it stinks very much, and at the same time picks up the Liangxiu grass, and picks a large bundle in less than a bag of cigarettes, which is enough for a few of them to eat.

There was nothing to eat, everyone was a little discouraged, I didn't expect to find such a delicious thing, now everyone's biggest wish is that the little ones can find a few prey, if you use meat and Liangxiu grass to fry and eat together, it is really delicious in the world, wonderful.

Back to the stone cave, light up the dry dung, set up the pot, it is still early, the little ones who went out hunting have not come back, I don't know where they are running and chasing, everyone doesn't care.

After waiting for a while, they still didn't come back, everyone started to worry a little, but there was no way, the eldest son and the second son said to go out to look for it, and the father said it didn't matter, he would definitely come back.

After a meal, the King Kong vine and the sheep candy were cooked, and they waited for the little ones to bring the meat back to fry the cool Xiu grass, but they couldn't wait, and everyone was so anxious that everyone went around in the stone cave.

At this moment, only to hear the rumbling sound outside, so startled that everyone quickly poked their heads out to look, only to see the little ones running desperately in front, and behind them was a giant beast that was two houses high chasing them, and everyone was so frightened that they didn't know what to do, just hoping that the little ones would run faster and return to the cave sooner.

Although the big guy chasing behind him was tall and bulky, he was not slow at all, and he was about to catch up with the little ones, and the hearts of the three cubs were all raised to their throats, and they followed the trembling of the earth for a while high and a low.

Four dogs and four wolf cubs ran to the side, and when they saw their owners, they felt that they had seen a savior. Rushing up the slope and jumping into the cave, the big guy behind him followed closely to the bottom of the hill, but the hill was too steep and slippery. Its body was too slippery to climb up, and it was so anxious that it tossed around.

Only then did everyone see the appearance of this thing clearly, it was surprisingly tall and burly. Like a small mountain, the sharp horns of a bucket above the head are particularly conspicuous, and the four thighs stand on the ground like pillars, and the eyes are fixed on the stone cave on the mountain, as if to breathe fire.

The children were wondering what kind of animal it was, and the father said, "This thing is called a wolf, and it is very fierce, with thick skin and thick flesh, and even a bow and arrow cannot shoot into it, and it is estimated that a red-hot steel drill cannot penetrate it." No animal is its opponent. ”

Then the father told the children that although they looked scary, they only ate grass, and they somehow couldn't get along with a few dogs and wolf cubs today.

I was so anxious that I had no choice, but I just circled in place, and then I sat down in the same place, and after a while, I sneezed, and some of them were very loud and powerful, and it seemed that these sneezes made me very uncomfortable, and my nose and tears flowed for a long time. Spraying and squirting, a long thing suddenly erupted, and was swept under the three cubs standing by a huge wave of air, and fell the stone wall, "snapping" into a piece of meat sauce. It turned out to be a long snake almost a man tall.

Only then did everyone figure out that the dog was not chasing the dog and the little wolf, but after a snake got into his nose, he ran around in a frenzy and happened to follow the dog and the little wolf, making everyone think they were chasing.

After the long snake erupts. He seemed to be relieved, howled a few times in a dull manner, got up and walked away, and the three cubs and the little ones woke up from the panic just now, and only then did they remember to hurry up and clean up the things for the night.

Everyone estimated that the little ones had hit their prey just now, but they were chased by the little ones in a hurry, and they lost their things, and they could look at the situation that was still half an hour before dark, and they could go out to find it, and if they couldn't find it, they would come back quickly.

The father arranged for four dogs to guard the cave, and set off with the children and the rest of the dogs and the little wolf, and talked to one of the dogs as he went.

The dog who led the way did not walk fast, a little hesitant, it is estimated that he had not fully recovered from the panic just now, the father was a little anxious, sometimes he walked in front of it, the dog quickly followed the master's steps, trotted up, and it also knew that it was about to get dark.

After turning a few bends, crossing a few small dirt slopes, wading through two streams, everyone felt that they had walked hundreds of feet away, and finally came to a small ditch, and the dog jumped down the curtain formed by the ditch, and came to a waterhole that was washed by the water below, and barked towards the waterhole.

Everyone then followed to the waterhole, to see that there was nothing in the pool, but there were some dead grass foam floating on the water, the father thought that it must be the prey of the dog and the little wolf fell into the waterhole, but the waterhole was small, but it was nearly late, and I couldn't see how deep it was, so I didn't dare to rush in to catch something.

Seeing his father's hesitant gaze, the second son picked up a hoe and dug it by the waterhole, and after a while he dug a deep ditch to draw the water out of the pool.

The waterhole is located on a small platform, and the edge of the waterhole is a ridge, and the water flowing out of the waterhole falls down the edge of the ridge, so that a drainage channel can be dug.

Half a bag of cigarettes, half of the water in a house-sized puddle has flowed out, and it looks like it is about to bottom, but there is nothing to be seen.

At this time, the surface of the water was already very small, not much bigger than a dustpan, and the father saw that it was almost there, so he grabbed the hoe and gouged it up in the water, and found that there was something in it that hooked the hoe, and the eldest son helped his father to hook up a large ball of fish.

The fish that left the water looked at the unknown animals around them suspiciously, not knowing what they were going to do, and looked flustered.

Everyone grabbed the big fish with their hands and feet, and tied it with a rope twisted from a handful of king thatch, so that it could not move.

After doing this, the water in the waterhole has basically bottomed out, and the second son dug another canal by the waterhole, and discharged the water flowing down from the water curtain above directly to the bottom of the waterhole, without entering the waterhole.

Later, everyone caught seven or eight hand-sized fish in the pool, dug up the mud in the pool, and found more than a dozen loaches with thick toes, so happy that everyone forgot to go back.

When they returned to the cave, it was already dark, but fortunately the fire from the dry dung in the cave showed them the place, or they would have to look for it, there was nothing in the cave, and the dog in charge of the guard was waiting for them to come back in the cave. (To be continued.) )
