Chapter 78 Swimming
Jin Mang doesn't like summer very much. Although Anze's summer is not difficult even without air-conditioning because of her physique, she hates summer bugs.

Especially for flies, Jin Mang, who originally planned to dry the meat by drying it in the sun, had to give up his original idea and instead use fire to dry the meat.

——Although she also expected that the jerky might be spoiled during the hot summer temperature, but... the efficiency of roasting it with fire is too low, and it can't be separated from people, so people have to stare at it all the time.

But summer is not without other good things, Jinmang likes swimming.

What surprised her was that the three adults, including Bai Yun, were all very surprised that she would not sink in the water.

"How did you do it?" Qingsui asked.

"That's right." Qing Feng said: "It is said that the humans of our Mangchuanling tribe will sink in the water, unlike those ferocious beasts, although they are also afraid of water, they will not sink in the water, and they can sink by themselves if they fall into the water. Swim ashore."

Jin Mang blinked, "You can learn this, do you want me to teach you?"

In fact, Jinmang's swimming is also a wild way. The country children learn to swim by groping in the wild river.But she was lucky. They had an old man who liked winter swimming, so the first thing she learned was not dog paddling, but freestyle, that is, crawling.

Later, Jin Mang also learned butterfly, backstroke and breaststroke from professional coaches, but he was most used to freestyle as it was the most practical and labor-saving.

Fortunately, she had the experience of learning to swim with a professional coach, otherwise she would just throw them into the water if she taught Qing Feng and the others to swim.

——Yes, after knowing that they can keep themselves from sinking in the water through learning, Bai Yun, Qing Feng and Qing Sui all plan to learn.

Then Jin Mang realized that it was a bit difficult for Bai Yun and the others to learn to swim.

Because their bodies are too heavy, or to be precise, their bodies are too dense.

Jinmang even hesitated for a while, could it be that the human beings in Mangchuanling can no longer learn to swim because of the change in body structure?
However, she quickly overturned this guess, because she herself is a living example.

Since she can swim, Qing Feng and the others must be able to learn it too.

Because there were no auxiliary tools such as swimming rings, floating boards, and back floats, Jinmang asked Baiyun to break off a piece of wood that was as thick as a person's arms and throw it into the lake, and then asked the three of them to adapt to the water with the help of the wood.

This process is undoubtedly very difficult, because Qing Feng and the others seem to be a little afraid of water.

Until the end of Xia Tian, ​​the three of them could barely swim two or three meters.But after that, the three of them made rapid progress, and it took less than a week to fully learn how to swim.

To Jin Mang's surprise, Qing Feng actually planned to go out.

"What do you think you are going to do?" Jin Mang's eyes widened.

Qing Feng said seriously: "I want your uncle and the others to learn how to swim."

"But it's cold now, let's wait until next year." Jin Mang said.

"Next year will be too late." Qingsui said: "The end of this year is the splitting season. If you can learn to swim before then, you can reduce a lot of risks when the rain comes. Most importantly, wait until the migration At that time, we can take the waterway without missing many opportunities."

Jin Mang was taken aback, she remembered the rain and flood during the split season before, because the cave they lived in was very high, so most of the time, although they couldn't go out, the impact was very small, after all, they still had some food in that meeting Yes, it will not be too hungry, and the rain and flood will recede. After the receding, parents can still go hunting.

But once in a while, the cave where they lived was submerged by the flood. At that time, Qingfeng and Qingsui carried her to high places, sometimes in the trees, sometimes on the top of the mountain.

While migrating...

Jin Mang came to his senses suddenly, and said, "If I remember correctly, the time of migration was a severe drought, and the surface of the land was cracked by the sun, so how can we walk by water?"

"That's in the east, but that's not the case in the west." Qingsui sighed and said, "During the dry season, although the water level in the Daze will be much shallower, it won't dry up. It's just that the Daze is very dangerous at that time." , because Daze is bowl-shaped, and the exposed riverbed will become very smooth under the sun. If you go to fetch water at this time, you will fall if you are not careful. Because of this, people don’t leave when they migrate The western route."

"However, this would not be the case if everyone could swim."

Jin Mang: "...But, it's too late now, right?"

"It's too late." Qingsui said without thinking, "As long as it doesn't freeze, then you can learn to swim."

Jin Mang's eyes widened.

Qing Feng said: "I will go to the territory of the eldest brother first, and let the other brothers come and learn together except the second and third brothers. After they have all learned it, let the eldest brother teach the second and third brothers."

After a pause, he looked at Baiyun, and said with a bit of reluctance, "I'm going to take care of you here."

If it was possible, he didn't want to hand over his sister to this outsider at all, but... the matter was so important that he had to make a choice.

Bai Yun raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

He could more or less guess what Qing Feng was thinking, but... Anyway, he really needed this kind of opportunity.

——One day, sooner or later, his position in Qingsui's heart will surpass Qingfeng's.

Just like that, when autumn came, Qing Feng packed up her two clothes and left.

Lan Chuan could already sit up at this time, the little guy liked Jin Mang very much, and would clap his hands happily every time he saw her.

Jin Mang has no experience with children, but he thinks that Lan Chuan is a very well-behaved child.

—if he hadn't been slobbering her all the time.

Jin Mang was squatting to guard the pear trees in the territory recently, which she discovered by accident.Not many, there were only three trees in total, and there was a group of monkeys staring at them, so Jin Mang would come to have a look every three days, for fear that the group of monkeys would pick up all the pears for her.

——She planned to use pears to boil some autumn pear paste, which could be given to Lan Chuan to drink, and she could also give some to the two pairs of twins born to Lu Lian and the others, as well as Lan Ying and Qing Guang.

It is said that the health of the two twins is not very good. The two children of Qingguang had a fever together, and they almost died of sudden death.

Fall and winter seasons are easy to get sick, not to mention that they will encounter split seasons, when the temperature will change even more. It is always right to prepare more things like autumn pear cream.

It's a pity that the cotton that Jin Mang had been looking for could not be found, otherwise, playing two quilts would make life much easier during the rainy season.

Especially for kids.

Jin Mang had already made up his mind. If he really had no choice, he could only harass those wild ducks and geese, and try to find a way to get Lan Chuan a down vest.
