Chapter 6: The Winter Savage .....
When it comes to making pottery, it is basically difficult for modern people Zhou Zhongmou to have this concept - although he has not played with the kind of pottery bar in which the clay mold is kneaded by hand and then fired by the people in the shop, but if you really come by yourself, first of all, you can't just dig some mud on the ground to make an embryo, and secondly, you can't throw the finished embryo into the fire and burn it - now there is no air-drying box, no electric stove, and you want to make a pottery casually? Young man! Do you think a little too easy about the ancient human life that began with the great hunting apes?
Of course, the only impression in Zhou Zhongmou's mind was that the pottery seemed to have a kiln, and he didn't even know that the embryo was going to be dried, so his failure was a foregone conclusion, and in the end he didn't get anything except a bunch of strangely shaped dry mud pots and the like.
After another two months, or sixty days, it was clear that there were four seasons in this place, and at least the temperature had dropped quite cold. Just two days ago, Zhou Zhongmou had seen snowflakes falling in the sky - of course, a month earlier, he had also known why no relatively large creatures on the grassland where he had landed were willing to stay. On that day, under the moonlight, the silver grassland was full of bell-like flowers, and the petals fluttered in the breeze in the sweet aroma, which was really dream-like beauty. But a wild boar didn't have time to run far under such a beautiful scenery, and fell to the ground and convulsed in the forest a hundred meters from the grassland downwind, and then died after foaming at the mouth and blood flowers. "This aroma or pollen is poisonous, I damn it, I smell it too! Wouldn't I also die on the spot!" Zhou Zhongmou was shocked, and was busy preparing to run away, but after a long time, there was no, and then this guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead went to smell a few more mouthfuls of fragrant pollen, and he was still fine, but he didn't want to step into the flowering grassland after all to try to see if he was not afraid of this toxicity.
Now that the weather is getting colder, then cold clothes are still needed, and if you continue to light a fire in the open air, you still can't resist the cold, "Now you have to find a cave to escape the cold" Zhou Zhongmou muttered these words, and at the same time tried to tighten the fur on his body that he had finally used to cut off the fat with the stone knife he had just learned to make zuò, so that he could use it more or less - now he didn't care that these furs still smelled Fortunately, Zhou Zhongmou had learned a lot of skills in the past three months of savage life, At the very least, the burning charcoal protected by ashes in the hollowed-out small wooden pipe in the fur he now carries around his waist can make him not need to use the skill of drilling wood to make a fire frequently, and the fur on his body and the stone knife in his hand and the wooden spear tied to the stone spear make Zhou Zhongmou a successful savage, a stinky savage
Now, he must go deep into the forest, maybe there are huge trees in it, there will be tree holes, or there will be hills and caves, in short, in Zhou Zhongmou's mind, if he still stays on the periphery of the forest, this winter will be very sad - the gorilla-like shack on the tree is not warm at all, and the rain will be blocked when the sky is up, if he continues to mix in this place, it will be difficult for Zhou Zhongmou, who has grown a little taller and stronger, to survive this winter.
There are no roads in the forest, but Zhou Zhongmou has a way to follow the river. The hippopotamus-like monster in the river had seen it in the past three months. It is a hippopotamus-like head with a crocodile-like body, but the limbs are perpendicular to the ground like mammals, and of course, a powerful crocodile tail. "This thing is not like a reptile, but similar to the dinosaur in a reptile Alas, this world is not the earth. It's hard to say whether these things are reptiles or mammals. Anyway, I've actually seen mammary glands on the carcasses of so-called deer and wild boars, but forget it! The guy kept talking to keep trying to keep his civilization from becoming a real beast as he walked along the river vigilantly.
Zhou Zhongmou is very narcissistic and thinks that he has never been so powerful - at least if he is on earth and gives him a spear, Zhou Zhongmou, an adult man in his twenties, does not have any confidence to pick and kill a wild boar, in exchange for now, he can definitely kill a wild boar with his nimble steps and skills, as well as strength comparable to that of adults and outstanding dynamic vision, and he has done this kind of thing more than once in the past three months, but at the same time, Zhou Zhongmou feels that he has never been so lonely - A person who is completely detached from social life, but he is not an antisocial personality, naturally after losing all his friends and acquaintances, he will feel very lonely when he can't even see a "person", if he doesn't often talk to himself and use some methods to study the local ecology to distract himself, if he is an island countryman, he will probably have hanged himself
There were no dangers along the way, and the cold weather made most of the animals reluctant to come out under normal circumstances. After walking along the river for a distance of about ten kilometers, Zhou Zhongmou suddenly stopped as if he had been struck by lightning, and stared at a mound about ten meters high on the other side of the river.
The mound is nothing, although this is the first hill that Zhou Zhongmou has seen in the past few months, but the obvious traces of artificially made objects under this mound still make Zhou Zhongmou extremely excited-at this moment, any vigilant psychology has been thrown out of the clouds, and the only thought is: "I have found someone!" I didn't think about what the "people" in this world were
Beneath the mound is a stone arch with a deep, bottomless passage that clearly has a large stone floor on the ground. There were already a lot of fallen leaves and dirt at this doorway, and there were snowflakes on top of it with a thin layer of snow, and if it weren't for the obvious contrast between the black road and the white hills, it would not be easy to spot it when you suddenly looked at it.
Now that this Yongdao has been discovered, the next problem that Zhou Zhongmou needs to face is how to cross the river. The river here is not wide, about 20 meters, but Zhou Zhongmou would never go into the water unless he had to-do - who knows if there are any meat-eating monsters under this water. Fortunately, the river flows through the forest, and in some places there are naturally trees that grow diagonally on the banks to take advantage of. Zhou Zhongmou walked about a few hundred meters downstream, found a tree that leaned into the middle of the river, climbed up and climbed as far as he could, then wrapped the fire and the fur stuffed on the top of his head, then tied the spear to his back, and then jumped hard.
Climbing ashore as quickly as he could from the water, Zhou Zhongmou ran as fast as he could, ready to rush into the Yongdao as fast as he could—now his fur was soaked, and if the cold wind blew the fur and froze it, he would lose his body temperature and freeze to death. Zhou Zhongmou didn't want to bet on whether his body was strong enough to resist the low temperature, so it was the best way to go to the tunnel as quickly as possible and then use the branches to quickly build a fire.
This door is about 1.8 meters, which is Zhou Zhongmou's conclusion after comparing his height when he entered the door. And after stepping into the corridor for a few meters, without the cold wind, the temperature suddenly became bearable. Zhou Zhongmou dragged in some dead branches under the snow, and then made a fire with the preserved fire—only then could he feel pleasantly and lazily "alive", and took off his fur and spread it on the side of the fire to bake.
Just as he began to bake the fire, a pile of things around the corner of the corridor caught his attention
