Live in Doomsday Wasteland

Chapter 148 Return early
In addition, the spruce grouse on the tree also failed to escape Chen Qi's poisonous hands. When the first arrow shot in the air, it was still sitting on the tree like a big fool.

Of course, Chen Qi seized the second chance.

"Hahaha, when I checked the information before, I saw in the video that the hunter directly shot this kind of grouse with a double-barreled shotgun. After the shot was fired, there was another one on another tree ten meters away that was still motionless!

At that time, I thought it was all fake props arranged by the staff or something.

Now it seems that the story of ten birds on the tree, one shot and nine remaining, is likely to have spread from here! "

With the prey he got, Chen Qi was obviously much happier. He took the paws of two unlucky grouse and retrieved the arrows he shot. When he looked up, there was another one on the tree above his head.

"Haha, the local animals are really hospitable!"

Raise the bow and shoot the arrow.

…………

After getting the three grouse, Chen Qi wandered around the spruce forest for a while, and after making sure that he looked at every tree carefully, he still didn't find the fourth one.

"Well, maybe this forest is too small, there are only these three little guys here."

The spruce grouse not only looks a bit like a pigeon, but also weighs a lot like a bigger pigeon. Their feathers are very short and their wings don't look big, so they don't look like birds that can fly long distances.

"Maybe that's one reason the thing has such strong legs.

Did you see this little thing running on the snow just now?

Stepping on the snow without a trace!I seem to have only seen some hawks with such excellent gait, no wonder it is called grouse, not sparrow. "

The three little things add up to about five or six catties. These things are not like deer or wolverines. When you see them running on the snow, you know that the bones of these guys must not be very heavy.

"Even though it's called a grouse, it's still a bird."

Chen Qi pulled apart the wings of a grouse in his hand, and placed the unfolded feathers in front of the camera of the drone: "The bones of birds are lighter than those of most other creatures, and have more crisp and porous structures. , this is because it evolved under the premise of meeting the requirements of flight.

So, if necessary, the bones of these grouse can be chewed and eaten.

Unlike those deer bones, much harder than my teeth. "

Chen Qi actually wanted to deal with these grouse right here, fluff their feathers or something.

However, he didn't have the condition to directly boil a pot of water here.

He has the ability to make fire, even if he doesn't have a lighter, Chen Qi still has the ability to make a fire with his own hands.

The difficulty is that he didn't bring any water boiling utensils with him when he came out this trip.

Not only the pot, but also the kettle.

"Although metal kettles are stronger and more resistant to damage, their shortcomings are exposed at this time.

At this temperature, even if I go out with boiling water and walk from the cabin, it will freeze. "

Chen Qisha made a point of popularizing science: "You must all know that when water freezes, its volume becomes larger.

Don't underestimate the increase in volume, if I fill the jug with water and it freezes, it freezes.

It is very likely that the kettle will have some deformation, or even inferior products, and it may crack directly.

If the thread on the spout is deformed, half of my kettle will be useless.

So, when I go out now, I don't bring a kettle.If you're thirsty..."

Chen Qi bent down and grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"This water resource is not everywhere!"

………………

After hunting three grouse, Chen Qi had the idea of ​​going home.

However, look up at the sun, it is still far away from the horizon.

No matter what time it is, there must be a while before the dark day.

Go back at this time, as if a little sorry for his long journey.

After all, Chen Qi came here from the cabin after walking for more than an hour.

However, after returning home, there are other tasks to be done. If you don’t do it today, you will have to do it in the future.

After much deliberation, Chen Qi decided to search for another hour. If he didn't find any prey in this hour, he would just go back home and come back tomorrow.

Anyway, the river is frozen now, when will it come?

……

The grouse was tied up with the rope he brought, and the whole thing was carried on his back. After more than 20 days of "ravages", Chen Qi's cold-proof clothing has long since lost the gray color when he bought it.

Grey, still grey.White, then change to black.

"I pulled a sledge over here, but when I went back, there were only three grouse on it, and the sledge was heavier than the grouse!

That must not work! "

What Chen Qi was thinking about now was the herd of deer he saw back then.

Logically, since there were spruces here, and the deer had been to the river to drink, they should be nearby.

If he encountered a herd of deer now, Chen Qi would be sure to fill up the sledge.

But it's a pity that Chen Qi didn't meet another prey until the end of the hour he set for himself.

Chen Qi did find some animal tracks and footprints, but he still didn't dare to pursue them. Regardless of whether he could pursue them or not, Chen Qi still had to consider the risk of getting lost and the physical exertion.

On the way back, Chen Qi ran into a little squirrel by accident, and unceremoniously emptied half of the family's food. The little squirrel was jumping up and down on the branches, and Chen Qi comforted it: "Okay, don't bark!" When meeting the scary upright ape, he can keep half of his property, even his own life.

How much more is too much! "

This is not some kind of irony that you can get cheap and be good at it. Things like squirrels are not inedible.

"Look at you, you still despise me. Small things like squirrels store a lot of food every autumn. They usually choose a naturally formed tree hole as a grain depot, and sometimes It will be very domineering and snatch the nests of birds.

Don't think that this gadget has a small range of activities. In fact, a squirrel spends 70 to 80 percent of its life looking for food. It's really either preparing to eat or on the way to eat!

They will collect a large number of nuts stored separately in autumn before winter comes, and then..."

Chen Qi shrugged and made a helpless expression: "They just forgot where their grain depots are.

Don't laugh, it's true!

Therefore, squirrels are called cultivators in some places, and this title is quite telling.

Without them, there might not be so many trees in this forest at all.

They will lose their food anyway, whether it is snatched away by shameless apes or lost by themselves, it doesn’t make any difference~”

Chen Qi cleared himself up very well, and then carried his three grouse on his back and prepared to return.

He didn't choose to go back the same way. Now the sky is clear and the sun is his best direction indicator. With such a big and shining sun, Chen Qi is definitely not in danger of losing his way.

At this time, he had to go to the river anyway, so choosing a new direction and taking a new path was of course more in line with his needs.

……

On the way back, Chen Qi saw the footprints of other animals more than once, but he had been looking forward to seeing the scene of a large mess that made a "ditch" out of the whole snow, Chen Qi still Haven't seen it.

There must be deer here.He saw this with his own eyes, and he couldn't fake it.

But so far, there is no trace of a herd of deer, which is very unreasonable.

"Maybe it's because I haven't gone far enough, not deep enough.

The river is now frozen, there is no special situation, and those deer may not come to the river.

Maybe I should come earlier tomorrow too, and then drive straight into the depths of the forest to have a look. "

……

Before walking to the river, Chen Qi also encountered a scene where a fox was hunting small things like voles.

Under the premise of having other food, Chen Qi would not choose a fox with a strong smell as his hunting target, so he did not bother the fox the whole time.

At the beginning, Chen Qi and the fans in the live broadcast room hadn't figured out what the fox was doing as it walked on the thick snow, until it suddenly jumped up straight and plunged headfirst into the snow After a while, when the rat with a particularly long tail came out, everyone realized that they were hunting.

Chen Qi did not disturb the fox, and the fox just glanced at Chen Qi and ran away quickly.

There were piles of words "repaying gratitude" and "congee" in the live broadcast room, but Chen Qi ignored them and left on his own.

When he reached the river, Chen Qi saw from a distance that his sledge was somewhere upstream, compared with the straight line he thought he was walking, Chen Qi shook his head secretly.

"Feelings always deceive you. I still have the footprints behind me for comparison. What's the result?

I thought we were walking in a straight line, but in fact it was just an arc. Fortunately, the sun was shining today and we weren’t too far from the river. Otherwise, we would have had to walk a lot more unnecessarily. "

Along the river, Chen Qi walked back to his sledge.

"This thing still has to be brought back.

What can't carry a grouse has nothing to do with that.

I mainly feel sorry for my rope, and besides, the pull has been pulled out, so why not go back and carry something.

Even cut some grass and go back!Didn't he go out with the saw? When he was about to reach the cabin, he carried two trees back.

But we still have to go to the lake, forget it!The fishing rod is still there! "

In fact, it's not just fishing rods. The reason why Chen Qi thought about going to the lake was not just for fishing.

He was still thinking about getting two pieces of ice back to upgrade the cabin or something.

"To fish, to prepare firewood, to build a shed, and to prepare racks for venison...

It's a lot of work..."
