The 438th round of the river crossing tool

When we woke up in the morning, our bodies were wet, and we thought it was raining, and when we saw that the sky was very clear, we realized that the humidity by the river was high, and after a long time, our bodies would condense into water. I can't complain that some small animals never drink water, it turns out that they absorb water from the air, and this world is indeed very magical.

According to the division of labor, Zhu Dinghong found a relatively clean and flat place by the river to design and compile the tools for crossing the river, and Peony and I went to the woods to find and collect materials. After comparing the toughness, we finally chose elm and willow, which are more flexible than other trees, and can be bent more freely without breaking when weaving, and some rattan is also collected as auxiliary materials. Peony and I each picked two large bundles, tied them into two stacks with rattan, one for each stack, put them on our backs, and carried them back to the place where Zhu Dinghong was going to prepare the tools for crossing the river.

Zhu Dinghong tried the materials we collected and was very satisfied. She told us the idea of the river crossing tool she designed, she decided to design the river crossing tool as a circle with a diameter of more than 20 meters, why is it so designed, she said, the purpose of our river crossing tool is to cross the big river, if it is designed in a square, under the action of the water flow, it is difficult to control. It is not as good as a circle, which can not only reduce the impact of the river, but also can easily approach the opposite bank through its own rotation and our appropriate external force.

For the design of Zhu Dinghong, we gave affirmation, so we discussed in the details, combined with the weaving process of the prefabricated roof of the upper pit, we decided to start from the center, a circle to expand.

It's easy to think about, but it's not easy to do. In order to be strong and waterproof, we have created a three-layer structure that crisscrosses the branches to prevent the water from penetrating the river crossing tools. It can also make the river crossing tool more robust. However, doing so will inevitably increase the difficulty of production. So, we had a busy morning, and although we used a stack of materials, we compiled a small piece with a radius of less than a meter.

It didn't work much, but we were already tired and sleepy. At this pace, it would have been done in ten days, and we had not eaten since we got up in the morning, and our stomachs were rumbling with hunger. Zhu Dinghong suggested that we eat something before cooking, but it was useless to rush anyway, so we went to the woods together to find something to eat.

There are still a lot of fruit trees, and there are also orchards, which can be seen that there were once red-haired dinosaurs living here. It's just that they moved away for some reason. Since there are no red-haired dinosaurs to pick, there are a lot of insects on these fruit trees, and most of the fruits also have insects, which are the best in the fruits, so we feast on them, until the stomach is round and round, and there is still a faint smell of insects after burping. It's a situation that even tribal leaders rarely enjoy.

After you have eaten your fill. We took a nap in the shade of the trees. The woods were quiet, with the occasional insect chirp or two. It's intermittent, the weather isn't cool, but it feels a little cold and the air is a little damp.

Xiaoya went to find food by herself, she needed meat, so she had to find some small animals to fill her stomach. Although she sometimes eats some fruits, fruits are not her staple food, and if she hasn't eaten meat for a few days, Xiaoya seems to be unenergetic.

Tian Dou couldn't help and stayed with us for a while. Seeing that we couldn't walk for the time being, we went to the woods to look for flowers and willows, and she had her own happy life.

We gathered a large pile of branches, tied them into three stacks with rattan, put each on our backs, and headed for the river.

"It seems that someone is calling Brother Peony's name. Sister Zhu Dinghong said.

We listened with bated breath for a moment, but we couldn't hear anything, Sister Zhu Dinghong said, maybe I heard it wrong, maybe it was the sound of waves or some other sound.

Peony looked a little dignified, he said, his ears also seemed to hear the call, could it be that something unexpected happened in the tribe?

In the end, we agreed that this was an auditory hallucination, a hallucination caused by the psychological reaction to our attachment to our homeland that acted on our brain.

"Look, the adopted son is here. Zhu Dinghong's eyes were sharp again, and when he was about to reach the river, Zhu Dinghong shouted.

Yes, right where we were making our tools to cross the river, a little crocodile was lying there, and when it saw us coming, it crawled towards us with excitement. Next to it, stood a large crocodile, much larger than its adopted son.

We threw down the branches on our backs and hurried a few steps to meet them, and our adopted son had already pounced on Zhu Dinghong's body, and we hugged each other.

But in one day, we seem to be separated for a long time, perhaps because in this empty and lonely place, we need more help from each other, and friendship is more precious, a pterodactyl, a butterfly, and a crocodile have become our best friends.

After a while, we let go, and the little adopted son breathed a long sigh of relief, it seemed that we hugged it tightly just now, and it almost didn't suffocate.

The big crocodile stared at us intently, its eyes full of friendliness.

The little adopted son ran to the big crocodile, stood in a row, kowtowed to us, and muttered something in his mouth, I knew that they were thanking us for saving our lives.

Needless to say, this big crocodile should be the elder of the little adopted son, maybe it is his father or mother, because they are all close to the ground, I can't tell the male and the female, I remember there is a saying "The two crocodiles walk on the ground, can Ann tell me that I am male and female?", now they are side by side, how can I distinguish male and female?

After a while, we communicated through pronunciation and claw gestures, and we understood that the big crocodile was the mother of the little adopted son, and after the little adopted son disappeared, his mother and the family members searched everywhere in vain, and just when they were hopeless, the little adopted son returned, and they were overjoyed, and when they learned that we had saved it, they were very moved, so they came ashore to thank us.

The adopted son is already our friend, so naturally there is no need to be polite, and the big crocodile will soon become familiar with us, and the communication will naturally be smoother, and there will be no need for polite words. She suddenly pointed to the piece we had made up and asked us what we were going to do.

I said:

"We're going to use it to cross the river, we don't live in the water like you crocodiles, we can't swim, we can't cross the river without tools. ”

The big crocodile laughed, the laughter was very similar to our red-haired dinosaur, which I didn't expect, and I didn't understand why the big crocodile was laughing, did I say something wrong?

"No need for this," the crocodile said, gesturing with her paws, and then pointing with her paws into the river.

I followed her paws into the river, and it was a scene I had never seen before, and I let out a cry of "ahhhhh

What do I see?

Let's wait for tomorrow to reveal, don't rush. (To be continued......)
