The bamboo forest gradually faded away, and a pine forest appeared in front. The plants here are very regional. Where there are bamboos, there are no pine trees, and where there are pine trees, there are no bamboos. Compared with the bamboo forest, the pine forest is much safer, and venomous snakes are generally not
I like to stay in the pine forest. The bamboo forest is a paradise for poisonous snakes. The beautiful green bamboo leaves like to bite people on the neck when they walk by...
Reserve food is what Yunzheng has always done. Pine nuts are a very good food. The pine cones more than a foot long are full of delicious pine nuts. He picked seven or eight pine cones from low pine trees. Yun Zheng
I feel like a rich man, at least the big-tailed squirrel standing on the pine tree is looking at me with admiration.
The sun has already set in the west and will set in two hours. This is almost the top of the mountain, and there is still no signal on the mobile phone, which makes Yun Zheng's anxiety become more and more intense.
He Jianqiang fell into a deep sleep, resting his head on Yun Zheng's neck and slept very sweetly. Also, his three- or four-year-old body did not allow him to do too much exercise.
There are no snakes in the pine forest, but there are bears. There are so many animals here, it is impossible that there are no large carnivores. Just look at the slick pine tree that has been rubbed by bears, and you will know that the bears here must be very huge.
Primitive people all know how to find a cave to live in. How could Yun Zheng not know that? He didn't find the cave, but he was lucky enough to find a tree hole. He never thought that a tree could grow so thick, with the middle already empty.
The outside is still lush and lush. There is a hole at half a person's height that only one person can climb into. The other cracks are only as wide as a palm. If the inside is dry enough, it will be an ideal shelter.
I lit a handful of pine needles and threw them in. After a while, a large group of squirrels fled for their lives. It was great. It was good to have squirrels around. Squirrels also hate humidity.
A lot of rosin was collected in the pine forest, and the lighting at night depended on it. Without fire, he and He Jianqiang would not have been able to survive this long night. The howling of wolves could be heard in the distance...
I collected a lot of dry pine needles and threw them into the tree hole. I checked just now and found that the space inside was very loose. What made Yunzheng the most happy was that he found traces of someone lighting a fire inside. A wood pile inside was burnt black. Although
It has long been cold, but Yun Zheng is still happy. The only people who can use fire are people. As long as there are people, he will naturally be able to live well with He Jianqiang.
Lighting a fire in the tree hole should have been a way to kill him, but this was a living big tree, and the wet wood would not cause a fire. He made a small nest with pine needles and thatch, and used his own clothes to put the sleeping He.
Wrapped tightly with strength, I lit another fire in the place where it was originally charred.
It turns out that there is a hole at the top of the big tree, and the smoke naturally floats outside along the hollow trunk, but there is no smoke at all underneath. This is a gift from nature.
While Yun Zheng was beating the pine cones with the wooden stick, He Jianqiang woke up, rubbed his black eyes and looked at the bright rosin torch in a daze. He didn't understand how he ended up in a wooden house.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry? Wait a moment and I will roast pine nuts for you to eat. It is not good to eat too many raw pine nuts. If you feel hungry, eat two pears first."
Yun Zheng turned around and smiled at He Jianqiang, and began to knock the pine cone hard again. The pine nuts leaked out from the flattened pine cone. The seeds were full. Yun Zheng could not afford to eat such big pine nuts before.
A stone slab was placed on the fire. Yun Ye sprinkled pine nuts on it and carefully stirred it. The crackling sound of the pine nuts made He Jianqiang feel much better. He whispered to Yun Zheng: "If I had a brother like you
How nice it would be.”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I not your brother now? Logically speaking, I am your teacher, and you should compare me to your father. But I am so young and so handsome. It would be a shame to be a father, so you just
Call me brother!" Yun Zheng tried his best to make the atmosphere between the two of them lively and happy. A dejected person would not survive long in the wild.
"I hate the surname He. Brother, how about I take your surname? Whenever I see that surname, I feel uncomfortable. I also want the surname Yun. This surname is so beautiful. The reason why I have a good impression of you is because of your surname.
I started by saying your surname was Yun."
"Be strong, as long as you like it. I have a very bad feeling that we may not be able to go back. Look at this tree hole. Someone has been here. I discovered this when I was cleaning the tree hole."
Yun Zheng handed a wolf tooth arrow to He Jianqiang. It was really a wolf tooth arrow. The arrowhead on it was not made of iron, but was inlaid with a very sharp wolf tooth.
"Who still uses this kind of thing for hunting now? They usually use guns, and some use crossbows. Bows and arrows are difficult to master, and their accuracy is very poor. Most people cannot use them. What we experienced is a wormhole, strong, and in time and place.
We cannot control the situation because we are passive, and the external environment may be very harsh, so we must be mentally prepared.”
He Jianqiang acted more calmly than Yun Zheng. He nodded, pointed at the pine nuts on the board and asked if they were ripe. Yun Zheng was very satisfied with He Jianqiang's performance. He swept the roasted pine nuts to the ground and smashed them with a stone.
He patted them apart one by one and let He Jianqiang eat them while he continued to roast the pine nuts.
The meal lasted until midnight. Neither of them was full. They just felt that they were not hungry. Yun Zheng added some more firewood to the fire to make the flames burn brighter. Then he held He Jianqiang and listened.
Falling asleep to the sound of wolves howling outside...
After dawn, Yun Zheng left the tree cave without any hesitation. The lack of food left him no other choice. The stream at the foot of the mountain had turned from a trickle into a small river.
Continuing to walk along the river, Yun Zheng must try his best to walk as much as possible while still having enough physical energy. The mountains on both sides have become steeper, with fewer trees and more rocks. Fortunately, there is a soft beach under his feet, and there are fish in the river. Yun Zheng
Zheng knew that he couldn't catch it with his own strength, so he could only continue on his way drooling.
For two whole hours, Yun Zheng did not stop for a moment. He had no way to calculate how far he had gone. He only knew that as long as the small river turned into a big river, he would be saved. The only big river in this generation was the Yangtze River.
The river became wider and wider, and the water surface became very shallow. Looking back at the exhausted He Jianqiang, Yun Zheng knew that he had to find something to eat. He didn't eat much last night and this morning. He was holding back.
Don't cause trouble to yourself.
There may be snakes in this generation, so He didn't dare to put them down, so he could only continue to carry them. He found a shallow inlet where there were several fish swimming around. They were not bad, and they were about the size of a palm. Yunzheng quietly
Build a sand dam at the mouth of the inlet. Only in this way can you catch fish.
