Fruits picked in the wild should be stored properly.
The martial arts bear master dug a large pit in the cave, then went outside to pick many broad leaves that Lin Yi didn't recognize and spread them in the large pit with a thick layer.
Lin Yi squatted aside and watched the whole process. Looking at the big pit, he thought to himself, isn't this a cellar?
"Okay, now just put the fruit in!"
With that said, the martial arts bear master carried the basket over and poured all the fruits inside into the large pit covered with leaves.
It's just not enough. This food is far from enough for them to survive this winter, Lin Yi thought.
But this autumn is still long, and they have enough time to prepare for the coming cold winter.
The berries in the forest should be left to the other Pokémon in the forest.
Lin Yi turned his attention to the mushrooms growing at the roots of the big tree.
He must bring back those matsutake and hazel mushrooms!
Oh yes, there are also fish!
When he accompanied the martial arts bear master for special training by the river, he once saw a Slowpoke hanging a fish by its tail.
That fish was not a fish Pokémon such as Magikarp or Uglyfish, but a very ordinary freshwater fish.
If we can catch them, we will have more protection this winter.
He had no oil or seasonings on his hands, so he had no other way to cook the fish except dry roasting.
Hmm...it seems there is also a kind of honey grilled fish.
Lin Yi turned to look at the forest outside and said to himself: "I wonder if I can find wild honey in the forest. It seems that I will have to ask the martial arts bear master to take me out again tomorrow."
Of course, just finding honey and fish is not enough. If you want to cook delicious grilled fish, you need to find a fire source first.
And fire can also increase his chances of surviving this winter.
As for the fire issue...
Lin Yi's first thought was to find a fire Pokémon and hire it with food to help him live.
But based on his observations today, there didn't seem to be any fire-type Pokémon in the forest.
Then, the only way left is to drill wood to make fire.
For this skill, Lin Yi didn't have any skills. He could only slowly explore and try it with the martial arts bear master, taking it one step at a time.
By the time the martial arts bear master had tidied up the cellar, the sky outside was gradually getting dark.
After finishing dinner, Lin Yi was sitting on the ground thinking about "fire". At this time, it suddenly started raining outside.
The autumn rain poured into the cave, mixed with a hint of coolness.
Lin Yi, who had no clothes on his body, couldn't help but shudder.
When the seasons change, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, which is very dangerous for a young child who has not yet grown up.
If you are not careful, you can easily catch a fever or cold.
There is no medicine to treat fevers and colds in this place. If he gets sick, he may have to wait to die.
Lin Yi was a little worried and had no time to think about the fire. He quickly ran to the martial arts bear master and shrank into his arms.
"Cold," he said.
Only then did the martial arts bear master realize that the weather was getting colder, and the little guy had no hair on his body, and his weak body might not be able to bear it.
It quickly turned around, with its back to the entrance of the cave, hugged Lin Yi tighter, and used its own body temperature to warm him.
The martial arts bear master felt that the little guy seemed a little scared, so he couldn't help but comfort him: "Go to sleep, I'm here, everything will be fine, the rain will stop when you wake up."
The tall and strong martial arts bear master can indeed provide people with a complete sense of security.
Lin Yi nodded honestly, without making too many moves, and closed his eyes against its furry chest.
After he fell asleep, the martial arts bear master glanced at the foggy rainy night outside the cave, and the expression on his face became solemn.
"We have to find something that can keep us warm before winter comes."
The martial arts bear master fell into deep thought and quickly searched for relevant information in his mind.
Soon, it thought of a way.
The martial arts bear master remembered that in the forest across the river lived a group of sheep Pokémon that were covered in white fur and had two gray braids.
It seems to be called braided sheep?
It had previously rescued a braided sheep that accidentally fell into the water, so it also had a certain understanding of them.
For example, it knows that the body hair of braided sheep is very elastic and will not be injured even if it falls from a cliff. It also knows that the white hair covering their bodies will continue to grow throughout their lives.
A martial arts bear master once saw a braided sheep that couldn't move because the hair on its body was too long.
If you can borrow some extra hair from them and wrap it around Xiao Wu, it will help him survive the cold winter!
"I'll go there and have a look at dawn tomorrow!" Martial Arts Master Xiong made a decision in his heart.
In addition, it also had to find a few large rocks to block the entrance of the cave so that the cold wind from outside would not blow in.
In winter, it and its little Wu can nest in the cave all day long, clinging to each other to keep each other warm, and survive the cold winter together.
…
Early the next morning, the autumn rain outside finally stopped.
Lin Yi didn't sleep well all night because he was too worried that he would get sick from the cold.
It wasn't until he opened his eyes and found that there was nothing strange about his body that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I don't have a fever."
The martial arts bear master on the side handed over the baby bottle that had been prepared in advance. The baby bottle contained freshly squeezed tree juice full of nutrients: "Drink!"
Lin Yi leaned on the martial arts bear master and drank.
At this time, the martial arts bear master turned his head as if he noticed something.
Seeing this, Lin Yi followed its gaze and saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the cave.
Huh? Is that the dong dong rat from yesterday?
The martial arts bear master knows the Dongdong Rat. It was through the Dongdong Rat that he learned the location of the large milk tank that can produce milk.
Dongdongshu looked at the situation inside curiously. It was holding something in its little hand. After seeing Lin Yi huddled in the arms of the martial arts bear master, he immediately ran over happily and gave him the gift.
Seeing the gift, Lin Yi was slightly startled: "Given it to me?"
"Dong Dong!" Dong Dong mouse nodded its little head.
Lin Yi stretched out his hand and took the small square paper box. There was no writing on the paper box, only a flame pattern was printed on it.
At first, Lin Yi didn't know what this was, but when he pushed the box and revealed most of the box of matches inside, an expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on his face.
Seeing this scene, Dongdong mouse felt very happy, because it could feel that the other party really liked the gift it gave!
Dongdong rats like to pick up things.
Whether it is pebbles on the shallows, twigs in the grass, or Coke cans abandoned by humans, they are all rare treasures for the rat.
A long time ago, several lost human trainers broke into this place and they camped in an open field.
This strange cardboard box was found by Dong Dong Mouse from the campsite they used.
It was abandoned in the middle of a patch of grass. The rat thought it was rare, so he took it back to his tree hole.
Today, Dongdong Rat decided to officially give this rare treasure to this human cub!
