Chapter 5: The First Step of the Savage......
A month later, a nimble figure flashed across the tree, with a dirty body wrapped around an apron woven from leaves, and no tail behind him, Zhou Zhongmou jumped up the tree like a bare monkey, and the sharpened stick in his right hand was thrown down at a very opportune time. In fact, now it can only be regarded as a month since Zhou Zhongmou according to the calendar on the mechanical watch that winds up every day, as for whether there is a concept of months in this world, Zhou Zhongmou does not know, the only thing he is sure of is that this world is similar to the earth, and it is also a 24-hour cycle of the sun and the moon.
In the past thirty days, this guy has gradually become accustomed to the life of a wild man, anyway, what if he is not used to it, if he wants to live, it is better not to be so squeamish. On the first day, due to hunger, he ate those fat bugs, and when he thought about it carefully, he was not only creepy--"If this bug is poisonous, or at least contains all kinds of toxins and bacteria that are specially generated to prevent them from being eaten by natural enemies, wouldn't I be bad! Take 10,000 steps back, if you have diarrhea in this world, even if you don't need to think about wiping your buttocks in this place, but there is no berberine, it is not impossible for you to have diarrhea to death!" Thinking of this, Zhou Zhongmou couldn't help but rejoice.
Having said that, he also felt that his body seemed to have changed after crossing over for thirty days - during this time, he couldn't catch the animals at first, and he didn't know what plants to eat, so he mostly relied on collecting the fat larvae to eat to fill his stomach. And he drank a lot of raw water, and there was no sign of diarrhea during this time--so he almost confirmed or delusionally imagined that he had the first golden finger, "It seems that after the crossing, I have a steel stomach and iron intestines! This is a good thing! After all, I don't have any products of the civilized world except for the watch in my hand, and I may really die if I have diarrhea!"
In fact, he also discovered something that might be considered a golden finger - his body coordination is far stronger than before the crossing, and it is much stronger. To say that he was a man who liked sports before he crossed, especially waist exercises, but now this body is simply an amateur basketball player in terms of hand-eye coordination and dynamic vision and physical coordination, and the difference between an amateur basketball player and Michael Jordan is also thanks to this, Zhou Zhongmou has not fallen to death or been stuck in a tree branch to death, and has awakened the instinct of hunting apes - can kill some small animals with shoddy spears and then replenish their own protein and fat.
Speaking of spears, of course, the ancestors of mankind used flint or polished spearheads with wooden poles, but Zhou Zhongmou, a modern half-hanger, could not make stone tools, and he could remember that it was already very good to bake and harden the wooden poles that had been painstakingly broken into pointed ends by roasting them with flames - but unfortunately he couldn't even make flint knives. However, thanks to the Discovery Channel he watched on weekdays, Zhou Zhongmou was at least not stupid enough to take a wooden stick to drill wood on a wooden board to make a fire, but used the last residual heat of half of his trousers without a flint knife that could not cut out a long strip of bark - he made a very simple small bow with strips of cloth and branches, and then wrapped a wooden stick around the bowstring and pulled it back and forth, and drilled wood on a dry plank and hay to make a fire. "One thing that humans are better than animals is that they can think with their brains!" Zhou Zhongmou, who had finally risen to the fire, said proudly - he had to talk to himself now, otherwise his intelligence would really degrade if he didn't use language for a long time
With fire, a lot of things can be done - at least he doesn't have to eat raw meat. Although the fat worm is raw and can be eaten, the meat is still cooked and easier to digest even if there is no seasoning and no salt. Then, in order to balance nutrition, Zhou Zhongmou also ate some of the plants that herbivores usually ate - completely relying on his self-righteous iron stomach
But as for the question of the bird under the crotch, Zhou Zhongmou is not out of the question of the need for civilized people to cover up - anyway, it is completely unknown what the intelligent creatures in this world look like, and there are no self-conscious intelligent creatures here, so it doesn't matter if the exposed bird runs naked, but a more strict problem is that if the exposed bird runs naked, Zhou Zhongmou has a rather fearful psychology about whether the branches will hit his liferoot. You must know that there are many brave people who can survive and fight if they lose their hands, feet, and eyes, but there don't seem to be many who have the courage to live after losing their lives - at least Zhou Zhongmou would rather lose his other organs than lose his life. But the first animal he successfully caught was peeling off the skin - it should be said that it is better to tear it off, isn't there no knife This skin Zhou Zhongmou originally wanted to make a heel apron that wrapped his feet, but after a night, the skin was immediately as hard as a wooden board, and then Zhou Zhongmou remembered that animal skins need to be tanned, otherwise they can't be used. But for a while, he asked Zhou Zhongmou where to find alkaline things, so in the end, he had to use deer tendons and wear big leaves as an apron to cover his shame.
Now Zhou Zhongmou has a good success rate in hunting with a rudimentary spear, he is like a nimble monkey leaping over the trees, and the attack from above is something these small forest deer have never seen before—at least this group of deer should not have seen it. In addition to all kinds of small deer in this forest, there are also many small animals such as mice, and even Zhou Zhongmou has seen several herds of wild boars and some beasts that are half the size of a feline - this makes Zhou Zhongmou find it very interesting, "If this is not some otherworldly earth, then it is an example of convergent evolution?" Zhou Zhongmou, who was having fun in suffering, said to himself at one time- Speaking of which, he is not very afraid of those felines, usually predators of this size will not look for a "beast" as a prey of his size, in case they are injured, they can't afford it, and Zhou Zhongmou also found that his movements and dynamic vision can easily keep up with those medium cats after watching these animals hunt a few times, much faster than wild boars, "I'm strong! I'm the strongest hunting ape in the past!" This person is almost a little nervous. But there's nothing wrong with that, since the first ape-man on Earth raised a stick, the strongest predator in hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary history has appeared Zhou Zhongmou is just another example of the atavistic phenomenon.
But drinking water has always been a rather serious problem - in the river flowing in the forest, there are predators that are difficult to find from the surface of the water, and they are not small, at least Zhou Zhongmou is not sure to kill any of them. Although these water beasts do not attack the animals that drink the water very often, the danger is always there. And Zhou Zhongmou, as a human being with wisdom, naturally wants to think of a safe way to drink water.
So after he managed to build a nest of a remembered gorilla out of twigs and leaves in the tree, he spent more than ten days digging a pit more than half a man deep and about a man in diameter with a wooden stick more than ten meters from the river - at this time he found his third "golden finger", and his body recovered very quickly, and the injury of muscle strain and strain recovered quite quickly. As a man with normal scientific thinking, Zhou Zhongmou immediately thought of human adaptability, "I heard that in the wilderness, human beings will quickly recover the stronger vision, hearing and smell of their ancestors, and it is estimated that my body and muscles are also one of them" After digging the pit, he spent two more days digging a deeper and deeper ditch directly between the pit and the river, and then Zhou Zhongmou harvested a small pond the next day. As for the water in the pond after it had been settled, he had drunk it directly without thinking about any parasite eggs or the like, and poor Zhou Zhongmou had not been able to complete the great cause of firing pottery so far
