Chapter 841 Dad doesn't care, you can do it yourself (three in one)
A ray of sunlight penetrates the dark clouds, like an unparalleled sharp sword piercing down from the sky, crowning the heaven and earth.
Not long after, more sunlight emerged from the clouds, shattering the dark clouds in the sky, and a sun emerged from behind the dark clouds.
It didn't take long for the sky, which had been gloomy for many days, to completely clear up.
"#¥%@!"
A man with frostbite on his face noticed the change in the light outside. After seeing such a scene, he couldn't help shouting excitedly.
Then the whole tribe was alarmed.
The people wrapped in animal skins and gathered around the fire all cheered and ran outside the cave.
Looking at the sun that had not been seen for a long time in the sky, looking at the sky that was finally no longer gloomy, looking at the sunlight that was even more dazzling under the reflection of the white snow, these people who ran out of the cave were all happy. Jumping and jumping, what's more, he was directly facing the sun in the sky, lying on the ground with tears streaming down his face.
The sun finally came out! They finally saw the sun again!
The cold that has caused them enough suffering will be driven away, and they will no longer have to suffer such suffering!
These people basically have frostbite on their faces, hands, and feet. Even those who don't have it, there are many dry wounds with thick scabs on the edges. If you touch them accidentally, they will bleed. And accompanied by extremely uncomfortable pain.
In the past, they would also suffer from the cold in winter, but it was far less severe than this year.
On the one hand, this is because this year seems to be colder than in previous years, and on the other hand, the heavy snow has already fallen before they can store enough.
Under such circumstances, at first, they had to brave the snow and cold to go to the places where they used to collect food, and bring the fruits that they had not had time to pick and collect back to the tribe.
Such things have caused them enough suffering.
So much so that one person in the tribe had one ear and two toes on his feet frozen off, and he was wailing in pain in the cave.
It is precisely because of this that the work of braving the wind and snow to collect food was stopped after a few days.
If they continue, most of them will freeze to death before the food stored in the cave is finished.
However, because the wind and snow fell very early, the food stored in the tribe was much less than in previous years.
Even if you add the ones they collected in the wind and snow, it still won't work.
Except for the ignorant minors in the tribe, the rest of the people were deeply worried about not having enough food.
Under such circumstances, it is of course very joyful to see the sun come out and the weather clear up.
In addition, another reason is that these people feel that the heavy snow fell too early this year, and the sun coming out at this time should be able to melt the heavy snow that fell too early.
Then the weather will get warmer, and they will return to the time when they stored fruits on a large scale to prepare for the cold season.
It won't get cold again until they store some more food.
Just as they had hoped, under the sunshine for two consecutive days, the snow really showed signs of melting, which made these people even more excited.
Even on the second day, their leader brought some relatively strong men, wrapped in thick furs, to the place where they used to collect and store food, and used the sticks in their hands to collect the food.
I pushed aside some of the melted snow to look for the fruits that had fallen on the ground.
On sunny and snowy days, the temperature is not high, and is even lower than when it was cloudy before.
On the one hand, this is because the melting of ice and snow and the evaporation of water take away the heat. On the other hand, the clouds in the sky can act like a quilt, trapping the heat on the ground.
However, although the temperature is lower than before, if you are directly exposed to the sun, your body will still feel warm.
And such bright sunshine makes people feel warm in their hearts just by looking at it.
So those who left the cave and looked for food again felt that it was much warmer than before.
As the weather gets warmer and some of the food they find one after another is brought back to the cave, these people who were already very desperate are now full of hope.
They are even more convinced that the weather will be warmer for a while as they thought.
But they didn't know that the period that should have belonged to autumn was occupied by the previous cold. According to the time in previous years, it was already winter at this time.
Therefore, their joy only lasted for a few days, and was shattered by another heavy snowfall from the sky.
Some people who thought the weather was going to get warmer and went to places far away from the tribal caves to look for food were directly frozen to death by the sudden snowfall.
The companions did not abandon them, stepped on the snow, braved the cold and trudged hard, and still dragged back these frozen companions.
However, no funeral was held, but they were roasted on fire...
The heavy snow that fell again was even heavier than in previous years, and the temperature also became lower.
In some tribes, after getting up in the morning, there are often one or two people with weird smiles on their faces who never get up again...
Cold, hunger and death, like the dark clouds outside, tightly enveloped them...
Compared with them, the Qingque tribe further south, after experiencing a period of cold, was covered with heavy snow.
The mountains in the distance, the trees nearby, and the surrounding fields were all covered in heavy snow, making them look completely white.
Under this blanket of silver, the entire tribe seemed quiet, and most people became relatively lazy.
After the arrival of the Son of God, their winter is no longer like before. They don't need to do anything. They only need the cat in the cave, eating and sleeping, and enduring hunger. Now even in winter, there are still many things to do.
Do.
However, compared with other times, winter is still very leisurely. This is a feeling that can be deeply felt both from the body and from the inside.
Of course, the silence in the tribe at this time is also related to the fact that the children who like to play snowball fights have not arrived at the battlefield.
If after those children arrive at the battlefield, snowballs are flying around, cheering and playing, the silence behind the snow will immediately disappear without a trace...
On the east side of the Qingque tribe, about thirty miles away from the bamboo forest, a small piece of land was cleared.
Some relatively dry millet is scattered on the ground, and a large grass sieve woven from bamboo is supported diagonally on top of the millet.
There is a rope tied to the lower end of the tree stick that holds the grass sieve diagonally.
The rope leads all the way to the bamboo forest.
Close to the edge of the bamboo forest, there is a low-lying area that resembles a trench.
The rope that led all the way to the bamboo forest stopped here.
Han Cheng is now squatting in this low-lying land, holding the rope in his hand.
On his left is Fu Jiang, who is squatting and standing, on his right is Little Pea, who is standing there with his head exposed, and on the other side of Little Pea is a round giant panda.
The two people, the dog and the panda were standing or shielding in a row, with only one head exposed, and no one said a word. They all stared at the sieve that was set up.
Such a scene not only makes people feel very happy, but also has a sense of obscenity, which is overwhelming and lingering.
Under their gaze, there were birds that could not find food elsewhere, chirping and hopping around the grass sieve, and looking around.
Faced with such unexpected food, most of these birds seemed to be relatively cautious. They did not eat directly, but stood there and looked around.
People die for money, and birds die for food. This saying is absolutely true. In such a season, facing such food, these birds cannot resist the temptation of delicious food no matter what.
After a short period of inspection and no danger was found, the birds happily came under the grass sieve to eat the food.
"dad."
Xiao Wandou shouted to Han Cheng in a low voice, reminding him to pull the rope.
"Wait a minute, those two big turtle doves haven't gone in yet."
Han Cheng also lowered his voice and said to Xiao Wandou.
Not only did the turtledoves not get in, but also the fact that these birds are basically at the edge of the grass sieve, and not many go in. If you pull the rope at this time, many birds will fly away.
not much.
After waiting like this for a while, the birds finally relaxed their vigilance and came to the middle of the grass sieve where there was the most grain to peck at the food on the ground.
The two great turtle doves also joined the ranks.
"It's OK now."
Han Cheng said softly to Xiao Wandou.
Then he pulled hard on the rope in his hand, and the stick supporting the straw sieve fell down. The straw sieve, which had lost its support, was suddenly buckled down.
The reason why the grass screen buckles so quickly is because the grass screen is not supported high and the distance between it and the ground is small.
On the other hand, Han Cheng tied two bricks to the upper part of the grass screen.
With such weight support, after losing the support of the tree stick, it will of course buckle down quickly.
The tree sticks were pulled down and the grass sieve was pulled down, and these birds who were immersed in the delicious food were immediately alarmed.
Near the edge of the bamboo sieve, the quick-reacting birds fluttered their wings and flew away in panic. Those birds that had eaten too much were directly pinned to the ground by the bamboo sieve, and suddenly there was a chorus of frightened and anxious cries, and
Many birds were flapping their wings hard, trying to fly out of the bamboo sieve.
But this is impossible. With such a large grass sieve and two bricks pressed on it, how can they fly? They can only flop around randomly inside.
"Wow~!"
"Woooooo~"
Under the grass sieve, when many birds were panicking, Little Pea screamed and rushed out from here, along with the excited dog Fu Jiang and the round balls.
Han Cheng followed behind with a big bag in his hand.
After arriving at the edge of the grass sieve, I did not rush to lift the grass sieve. Instead, I first used the bricks that I had placed not far away to build a circle of about 30 centimeters high around the grass sieve, leaving a gap in one place.
He made a narrow opening about twenty centimeters wide and opened the bag in his hand to completely cover the entire opening.
After doing this, Han Cheng raised the bamboo sieve from the side with the opening.
The moment he lifted up the bamboo sieve, some frightened birds slipped into the bag through the opening.
As for the birds that didn't get into the bag immediately, it didn't take long before they all got into the bag obediently.
This is not because of how attractive the bag is, but because Xiaodou, Fujiang, and Tuantuan were slapping and shouting at the bamboo sieve.
The birds caught in the bamboo screen can see the outside scene through the holes in the bottom of the bamboo screen.
Being bombarded by these three fearful guys, it would be strange if they didn't dig into the bag.
When there were no more birds under the bamboo sieve, Han Cheng grasped the mouth of the bag and all the trapped birds could no longer escape.
This harvest is not small. In addition to the two large turtle doves, there are more than a dozen large and small. If this trend continues, if we catch a few more times, we will be able to assemble a dinner that can feed many people.
Already.
Of course, if it is used to make soup, the ones caught now are enough for everyone in the tribe to have a delicious meal of laifaku soup...
Among the birds he caught, Han Cheng's favorite was the two large turtledoves.
Except for the color of its feathers, this thing looks very similar to a pigeon. It tastes similar. It is not the smallest among birds and has meat on its body.
Whether it is eaten grilled or boiled, it tastes very good.
But Han Cheng's favorite way to eat it is to boil it first, pick out the meat, tear it into strips, and then mix the turtle dove soup with the shredded meat and eat it with noodles.
But I can only think about this way of eating now.
In later generations, birds, these things, were eaten by people, and the places where they thrived in mountains and forests were destroyed and shrunk. As a result, their numbers decreased sharply, and most of them became protected animals.
But in this primitive era, compared to the huge number and variety of birds, humans are more like precious species that need to be protected.
The Qingque tribe is called Qingque, and the gods and totems they worship are Qingque, but the people in the tribe are not friendly to these birds.
This is mainly because these birds always like to come and eat crops when the crops are about to mature and after harvest.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange for the people of the Qingque tribe to have a favorable impression of these birds.
However, even so, it does not prevent them from continuing to worship the Blue Bird Totem.
Because what they worship is the green bird that has been processed by the Son of God and appears lifelike in the form of pictures, sculptures, and embroidery. It is not the birds that come to them to beat the autumn wind crazily once the crops are ripe.
After putting the bag containing the birds on General Fu's back and tying it with a rope to prevent it from falling, Han Cheng pointed to General Fu in the direction of the tribe, and General Fu took four steps.
I ran towards the tribe with my legs shaking, leaving strings of plum blossoms in the snow.
After General Fu left, Han Cheng and Xiao Wandou worked together to rearrange the trap.
Remove the bricks, set up the bamboo sieve, and sprinkle with dried millet and so on again.
After doing this, the two people and the panda hid in the bamboo forest again, and Fu Jiang also ran back from the tribe.
The bag that was carried back was already empty, and the bag had also moved its position, from its back to its mouth, the kind that had been folded by someone.
Han Cheng took the bag from General Fu's mouth, then reached out and touched General Fu's head.
Fu's tail was happily wagging after his head was touched.
"Son, you will do it this time."
Han Cheng handed the rope to Xiao Wandou's hand.
Little Pea took the rope, excited and nervous.
After the experience just now, there were no birds around the sieve for a while.
After this situation lasted for a while, some birds began to be unable to resist the charm of delicious food, so they flew over from elsewhere, landed on the edge of the bamboo sieve, and continued to test.
There is a bird here, and soon other birds will fly over.
"Dad, do you want to pull it?"
Xiao Wandou looked at the birds, his little face tightened, and it could be seen that he looked nervous and uneasy.
"It's up to you to decide. If you think you can pull it, just pull it. If you can't pull it, just wait."
Han Cheng did not give a direct answer, but threw the question to Xiao Wandou and asked him to figure it out on his own.
After receiving such an answer, Little Pea was a little unsure. He looked at the birds and wanted to pull the rope, but he couldn't make up his mind.
Then he turned his head and looked at Han Cheng as if asking for help, hoping to get help from his father.
Facing Xiao Wandou's look for help, Han Cheng still didn't give any answer. He just stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Wandou's head, smiled and whispered: "You can watch it yourself, dad doesn't care."
After getting no answer from his father, Xiao Wandou had no choice but to turn his head again and stare with dark eyes at the bamboo sieve twenty or thirty meters away and the birds around the bamboo sieve.
After watching it for a while, he suddenly pulled the rope in his hand.
The rope pulled, the wooden stick fell, and the bamboo screen pressing the bricks came down.
Almost at the same time, the birds fluttered their wings and flew away in panic.
After pulling the rope, the strange combination of two people, a dog and a panda flew towards the bamboo sieve.
After passing by, the little pea, whose heart was pounding non-stop, lay down on the bamboo sieve and looked inside through the dense bamboo sieve holes.
After watching this, Xiao Wandou almost didn't cry.
Because there was only one small bird caught in the bamboo sieve, and the rest of the birds flew away. Compared with my father just now, the gap was not as big as usual.
"Dad~"
Just like before, after getting the little bird from under the bamboo sieve into the bag, Xiao Wandou looked at Han Cheng and shouted aggrievedly.
"It's okay. This is your first time doing something like this. When Dad was catching birds like this, he didn't catch one for a long time. You are already doing better than Dad."
Han Cheng said to his son with a smile.
Then the father and son worked together to tidy up the place and went to the bamboo forest again to hide it.
"dad."
Xiao Wandou passed the rope in his hand to Han Cheng's hand. The blow just now was a bit hard on the child, making him afraid to do such a thing again.
Han Cheng didn't answer. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Keep pulling. What you did just now is already very good. Just pull more."
Xiao Wandou could only continue to hold the rope, but her mood was even more uneasy than before.
"Think about it, why only one bird was captured just now, and the rest of the birds flew away."
Han Cheng looked at his son and asked with a smile.
Little Wandou reached out and touched his head, his eyes flashing suddenly.
After a while, he said: "I, I pulled it too early."
"So what should we do this time?"
Han Cheng looked at Xiao Wandou with a smile and said.
"Later, later." Xiao Wandou said with some uncertainty.
"Well, do what you want."
Han Cheng nodded in agreement with Xiao Wandou's words.
Children of this age already have some knowledge of many things and can understand some things, so Han Chenggong took this opportunity to provide some education to the little guy.
More or less, there is always something the little guy can know.
As the place returned to calm, birds gradually began to fly over from elsewhere.
After some testing, he began to go under the bamboo sieve to eat the millet underneath.
Looking from a distance, about eight or nine birds have arrived under the bamboo screen, and they are still relatively close to the middle.
At the same time, there were more than a dozen birds wandering around the periphery.
According to Han Cheng's opinion, it was completely possible to pull the rope and pull down the bamboo sieve at this time, but Little Pea never stopped pulling it.
Han Cheng knew that this was caused by him learning the premature lesson of Shang Shang, so Shang did not rush him.
Compared with arresting some birds to satisfy his appetite, Han Cheng was more concerned about the education of Little Pea.
There were some birds that he hadn't paid much attention to yet.
Xiao Wandou's little face was tense. She was wearing gloves, and there was some sweat in her hands holding the rope. Her eyes were fixed on the bamboo sieve.
He was waiting for the birds on the outside to come under the bamboo sieve, but these birds just didn't go in very much.
Either they walked in, pecked them twice and then walked out quickly, or one bird walked in and the other birds walked out.
The more birds he always wanted to see walking in never happened.
So he just waited and didn't pull.
But the effect was not good. After a while, the situation he wanted to wait for not only did not happen, but the birds also flew away one after another.
This is because the shriveled millet scattered under the bamboo sieve has basically been eaten by these birds.
"puff!"
The longer they waited, the fewer the birds became, and when there were only three left, Little Pea finally couldn't wait any longer and pulled the rope in his hand...
