Jin Mang pursed his lips and followed his parents silently.

For her, who is only two years old, walking a distance of more than ten kilometers alone is not an impossible task.

——In terms of physical fitness, Jin Mang is truly blessed. Whether it is strength, stamina, flexibility or reflexes, she can stand out from the crowd. She is the kind of person who can outperform everyone in all aspects even if she does not insist on exercising.

Most people who insist on exercising.

In this life, her physical fitness is even better than in her previous life.

But the premise is that she doesn't need to keep up with Qing Feng and Qing Sui.

Even though Qing Feng and Qing Sui stopped to wait for her from time to time, Jin Mang had a hard time following her. When she saw her cave, her legs gave out and she fell to the ground, but she couldn't get up.

Qingsui put down the prey, picked up her daughter with some distress, and said with a smile: "Mang Mang is doing great."

You must know that she and Qing Feng had considered giving up some of their prey for Mang Mang.

But unexpectedly, the child persisted.

Jin Mang gasped for air, and when he recovered, he got off Qing Sui, ran to the lake, broke open the thick ice, stuck his head out and started drinking gulps of water.

The water in the lake was very cold, but it was extremely refreshing for Jin Mang, who was sweating from too much exercise.

——She actually thought about letting Qing Feng and Qing Sui develop the habit of drinking cooked water, but she quickly gave up because they did not have the conditions. Although the jars made of Robin eggs were strong, they could not withstand heat.

.Anze The only way for humans to heat food is to bake it, and there are no pots here.

By the time the golden light had completely slowed down, Qing Feng and Qing Sui had already taken care of the prey, then kept pouring water on it to form a thick layer of ice on the surface, and then hung it to the entrance of the cave.

In the days that followed, Qingsui began to teach Jinmang how to handle prey and tan the hides.

"Most of the time we don't eat the internal organs of prey, because we humans don't eat raw like other beasts, and the taste of roasted internal organs..." Qingsui frowned and said: "But in fact, compared to meat, internal organs are more delicious

The nutritional value is actually higher and can provide more strength to our body. So in the splitting season, when food begins to be insufficient, no matter how unpalatable the offal is, we have to eat it. What I want to teach you today is how to eat as much as possible

The internal organs of prey are carefully processed to make the taste more acceptable..."

Regardless of what Qingsui taught, Jin Mang studied very seriously.

She doesn't know the full picture of the split season yet, but now the extremely low temperature has given her a sense of crisis.

Because many animals do not hibernate, and animals such as squirrels and hares are unusually active in winter, Jin Mang and his family did not run out of food.

But even so, the entrance to their cave was still covered with meat frozen in ice.

Qing Feng went out again for some reason. This time it wasn't as long as the time he changed the salt. He came back in just five days. He was holding a piece of wood as thick as an arm. He was not injured, but he looked very embarrassed. His eyes were

There is an unmistakable tiredness.

Jin Mang's eyes couldn't help but fall on the piece of wood. After hesitating for a moment, she said: "Is this... an iron base tree?"

The reason why I can recognize it is because there is a small knife at home, which is made of iron tree. Qing Feng and Qing Sui usually use that small knife to handle prey. Jin Mang also used it under Qing Sui's supervision. It is very sharp and good.

Use it. If the knife hadn't been too small, it would have done twice the result with half the effort.

However, Qingsui told her that iron trees are rare, and the knife in her hand was a coming-of-age gift from her mother.

Qingsui's expression was not surprised, obviously she knew what Qingfeng was doing out there.

In fact, in order to obtain this piece of iron wood, they started planning before they reached adulthood. This is probably why they settled in this territory.

Seeing her daughter's surprised face, Qingsui explained with a smile: "Actually, although the iron tree is rare, it is not uncommon. It's just that the iron tree cannot be broken easily due to its own hardness, and it requires special underground inflammation melt.

You can cut it off bit by bit. Your father and I have been saving for three years before we have enough molten liquid."

Molten liquid?

Jin Mang felt that this word sounded familiar, and after thinking for a moment, she remembered that she once went exploring along the inside of a cave, and saw a stalactite shining with orange-red light, with transparent red water dripping from it. Just as she was thinking

When she was about to touch it with her hands, Qingsui appeared and stopped her, warning her not to touch the molten liquid.

"Is it the molten liquid under the cave?" She looked surprised.

Qingsui nodded, "The temperature of the molten liquid is extremely high, and it is the only thing that can intercept the iron-based tree."

Jin Mang tilted his head and asked curiously: "What kind of container should I use for the molten liquid?"

"Of course it's the flaming stone stalactite." Qing Feng smiled softly: "When your grandmother and I started a family, your grandmother gave your grandmother a knife made of iron tree, and gave me a

A vessel made of molten stalactite."

As he spoke, he took out a strange... bowl. To be precise, it was a flaming stone stalactite shaped like a bowl.

Since obtaining the Iron Base Tree, Qing Feng and Qing Sui's hunting frequency has been slightly reduced, and they spend a lot of time forging the Iron Base Tree every day.

Jin Mang watched the entire process as they transformed the iron-based wood into a long stick and a short knife slightly longer than a dagger.

She was extremely surprised. Although iron wood looked like wood, it was essentially the same as metal and could be forged at high temperatures.

Even iron-based wood is much easier to use than real metal. After all, according to Jin Mang's knowledge, those ancient weapons forged with primitive methods are simply not comparable to modern weapons.

Qing Feng and Qing Sui didn't even have a forge when they were forging, and their forging skills could be said to be unskilled. However, no matter how crude their appearance, the long sticks and short knives they forged were both harder and sharper than hers.

Modern cold weapons are inferior.

While Jin Mang was concentrating on watching Qing Feng and Qing Sui forging weapons, she did not realize that the climate outside was getting colder and colder, so cold that few animals could be seen outside, as if there were no animals before.

The animals entering hibernation are all her hallucinations.

The family began to eat the stored grain.

Qing Feng and Qing Sui's cooking skills are extremely primitive. For the meat that was frozen in the ice, they directly roasted it on the fire. The process...

After the ice cubes melted, the water dripped into the fire. The fire became smaller and larger, and thick smoke came out. In the end, the meat that was baked did not know whether it was barbecue or bacon.

But Jin Mang didn't care about that anymore. She didn't expect that it would take two hours to roast meat, and she was about to starve to death.
