Chapter 7: Going out and training
In addition to eating and sleeping, Qing He worked hard to cultivate for more than 20 days, and sure enough, he successfully broke through to the foundation building and bone refining. I was happy in my heart, and sure enough, the feeling was still accurate.
There are rules in the tribe that when the cultivation is to build the foundation and refine the bones, you can follow the hunting team to go out to practice. It's been five years, and I can finally get out.
The Baicao tribe is on a stone mountain nearly a thousand meters high, and the area around the stone mountain is also divided into the tribe. The range of movement of the tribe is in a safe area, and if you want to go out, you have to pass through the tribe's gate, which is guarded.
There were two big trees outside the gate, and Qing He had noticed these two big trees very early. It is tall and large, with luxuriant foliage, and people cannot find it when they hide on it.
Qinghe followed Grandpa's team out to practice, and Grandma was also in this team. There are twenty people in the team, the captain is called Shanying, and the deputy captain is called Heifeng, among which there are three women, plus Qinghe, a total of twenty-one people. This is a team that Grandpa and Grandma have teamed up for a long time, and they are very familiar with each other, so they agreed to bring Qinghe.
The team members all know that Gale and Dahua have a talented granddaughter, who is the little girl brought out this time. Everyone was amazed at the little dolls that were no taller than their legs. It's too small, and it's hard to run.
Dashan immediately said: "Gale Wind, your granddaughter is too young, it's useless to carry it, it's completely a drag." ”
"Yes, it's so dangerous outside, and you have to hunt giant beasts, and you won't be able to take care of the little doll when the time comes. Erhu echoed.
The two captains didn't speak, but they were not happy to see it. After all, leaving the tribe, there is no shelter, danger is everywhere, it is difficult to protect itself, and it is even more difficult to bring a little doll.
Gale and Dahua also understood everyone's concerns, and they didn't agree with Qinghe to follow at first, because Qinghe people had short calves and didn't learn any martial arts, so they could only drag their feet back. But Qinghe persuaded them, and the reason given was very simple, the strong can only grow the fastest through fighting.
After thinking about it for a long time, Gale and Dahua still agreed, so they took Qinghe to understand the bloody cruelty outside the tribe and increase their knowledge. With the two of them, it would be safer.
Fierce Wind said: "I understand everyone's worries, this time I went out with Qinghe, I don't want anything with Dahua, we will share it with everyone, I and Dahua will take care of Qinghe on the way, no need for you to be distracted." What do you think?"
Shanying and Heifeng glanced at each other, then glanced around, and saw that most of them nodded, so they agreed to take Qinghe with them.
Qinghe took Grandma's hand tightly, knowing in her heart that Grandpa and Grandma couldn't get anything when they went out this time, so they could only return empty-handed. This is the price to be paid with her. She already knew that half of the proceeds from the hunt would go to the tribe, and everyone else would be divided according to their work. Those who are distributed to individuals can be disposed of by themselves, taken home or handed over to the tribe in exchange for tribal contribution points. Contribution points can be exchanged for various resources.
Walking out of the gate of the tribe, Qinghe felt that the air he breathed was much fresher. The Guardian Formation of the tribe isolated a lot of things, and it was not as fresh as the air outside.
Taking a deep breath, Qinghe took Grandma's hand and asked, "Grandma, which direction are we going?"
Dahua said: "Let's go to the north, there are very few wild beasts there, and it is relatively safe." Qinghe, grandma is carrying you on her back, it's dangerous outside, remember not to touch any flowers and trees, and don't scream loudly when you see anything, understand?"
Qinghe nodded, "Grandma, don't worry, Qinghe remembers, and he will definitely do it." "We must seize this hard-won opportunity. The safety awareness instilled by his family since childhood, Qinghe kept it in mind and warned himself that he must not cause trouble, and the consequences could be serious.
Lying on Grandma's back, Qinghe's eyes looked around. It was found that the outside of the tribe was full of dense forests, with tall trees and fierce grass on the ground, all of which were more than one meter away, as if walking into a tropical rainforest. It's just that the vegetation here is much taller than in the rainforest, and it's hard to describe.
When he saw a flash of white in the grass, Qinghe immediately searched and found that it was a white rabbit. It's just that this rabbit is very large, half a meter long.
Although he was prepared, Qing He was still taken aback, this was really a giant world, and everything was magnified several times. People are very small in it.
Entering the forest, everyone in the team was very careful. The steps are light, the mouth is silent, and they are all acting according to the gestures of the captain.
Unconsciously, Qinghe's breathing slowed down, and his little hands were clenched, not daring to be careless, for fear of making a sound.
There are no roads in the forest, the ground is covered with weeds, and there are many large trees. They walked around the inside, going around from time to time, making a mark around a tree.
Dahua said softly, "The hunting team will make various markers on the road to give instructions to other teams. The situation outside is changeable, you will get lost if you are not careful, the terrain is changeable, and the clansmen will warn those who come after you when they discover new situations. When you go back, your grandfather will give you a detailed explanation of the meaning of the various marks. ”
Qinghe whispered: "Grandma, I understand, I will study hard." "These are survival essentials to keep in mind.
On the first day, Qinghe found several giant rabbits, and there were occasional large birds in the air. Rabbits are herbivore, their attack power is not great, and the flesh and blood on their bodies are useless, and everyone turns a blind eye.
When a bird flies by, everyone holds their breath and stops walking, trying to hide themselves in the grass and trees to avoid being discovered.
On the way, they only had a short break, and lunch was their own jerky. In the evening, I came to a hidden cave, the entrance of which was barely visible under the cover of wild grass and vines.
If he hadn't been brought in, Qing He would never have discovered this hidden cave.
Entering the cave, everyone carefully checked it several times to ensure that the inside of the cave was safe, and then they were relieved. This cave is not big, about forty or fifty square meters, and all the people come in, and it feels a little crowded.
Dahua put Qing He down, took out a piece of animal skin from the animal skin bag he was carrying and spread it on the ground, and let Qing He sit down first.
"Qinghe, sit obediently, don't move, there are a lot of people here, be careful. Grandma goes to hot water for you to drink. ”
Qing He nodded obediently.
In the cave, everyone speaks in a low voice, and two people take turns guarding the entrance of the cave. In the faint light of the fire, people were busy boiling water. Dinner is still eaten jerky, and better yet, I can drink hot water.
Soon, after dinner, everyone had put out the fire. The captain arranged for those who were on duty at night, and the others began to rest.
At night, Qinghe went out for the first time and couldn't sleep for a long time. She heard the long breathing and snoring of the others. Forcing myself to fall asleep, tense my nerves for the day, not resting well, and not having the energy to cope tomorrow.
Just when Qinghe was drowsy, the sound outside the cave came in.
Listen carefully, it may be far away, the sound is not very clear, but it is faintly recognizable, it is the roar of beasts, screams, endlessly.
Qing He thought, it should be a giant beast that goes out to hunt at night, and the night of the great wilderness is very dangerous.
