Dressed up as a cute little beast

After going back to finish the fireplace that day, He Yan and Slut found a few flat boulders to enclose a small space in the oversized hole as a bedroom.

The stone bed is in the bedroom, close to the new boulder wall, and the fireplace is at the opposite end of the stone bed, so that the small space will have a better thermal effect.

Although the fireplace has a chimney, just in case, He Yan drilled three finger-thick holes at the bottom of the fireplace for ventilation, and used the excess mud to pinch two hole plugs and left them to dry, so that the fireplace will not fire in the future When the time comes, these two holes can be blocked at any time.

Not far from the fireplace, there are colorful cobblestone flowers that He Yan once glued together for Silu. Under the dim light, at first glance, it looks like a patterned rug.

And those luminous stones were placed on the stone table beside the bed, and most of them were found for him by Si Lu.

With the fireplace and the luminous stone, even though the upper window hole has been blocked, the cave has not been plunged into darkness again.

He Yan is very satisfied with this newly partitioned small bedroom. Compared with the original spacious hole, it is more like a cozy little home.

After eating, the two went to wash up at the unfrozen spring near the cave as usual.

Before in the southern tribes, all human figures used water, cotton cloth and a kind of mint-like leaves to clean their mouths. At that time, Silu, who became a human form, always did the same. Although I still feel a little inconvenient to clean my teeth with the things brought out from the southern tribes by Drew, there is no other way for the time being.

After all, he still can't do the fine work of inlaying the cleaned animal hairs one by one on the wood to make a toothbrush...

In the end, I could only take out some of the hemp thread brought by the southern tribes, and tear it into pieces as dental floss, and use them together with the previous things.

At this time, He Yan, who had finished cleaning up first, put his hands in his sleeves and waited for Silu.

Although Silu is a ferocious animal born and bred here, every time he cleans his mouth, he will be very careful and meticulous.

He Yan was relieved, and remembered the state of human children when they first learned to brush their teeth—this was the case with a child of one of his trainers in his previous life. The brush in the small basin can last for nearly 10 minutes. The seriousness and obsession are somewhat strangely similar to the man in front of me.

He Yan smiled, and began to admire the snow scene at night, and finally moved his eyes to the plants near the spring without knowing it.

It is a plant similar to Sijiqing, with thin roots and a layer of white snow on it. The leaves under the snow are still emerald green. Under the moonlight, the green reflects the white, which is pleasing to the eye.

Congratulations was going to bring back a few and put them on the bedside as decorations, so he reached out and broke off a branch.

The place where it was broken gave off a refreshing and refreshing smell, which was very similar to the suspected mint leaf taste of the southern tribes.

He Yan was taken aback for a moment. He first thought he had found the mint in this world, and he was overjoyed. He immediately tore off the leaf and took a few bites to verify it. The result was that it didn't taste the same at all.

He was a little disappointed, which meant that the smell only came from the inside of the stem of this plant.

Si Lu had finished cleaning, He Yan casually put the twig by his mouth and walked back with him.

When he was about to walk into the cave, He Yan opened his mouth to spit out the twig, and when he was about to raise his head to walk in, his mind suddenly flashed.

Seeing him pause, the man stretched out his hand nervously to hold him.

But the other party grabbed his hand, dragged him to squat down, and pointed to the thin wooden branch that he had just spat on the ground.

The top of the small wooden branch was chewed into a flat row, and the tiny stem fibers protruded out.

It's like... like a tiny brush!

He Yan had heard of the saying that the ancients chewed wood in the morning in his last life, but he only heard it occasionally, and he didn't know the reason behind it.

Only then did he truly understand the wisdom of the ancients.

"Lulu, we will have toothbrushes in the future!" He Yan grinned.

"Toothbrush?" The man was taken aback, not understanding the word.

He Yan continued pointing to the wooden stick and explained: "It's a brush for cleaning teeth. Sooner or later, we can directly bite off this sweet-smelling plant wooden stick or smash some of it with clean pebbles. We only use the head brush This small brush is very useful for cleaning teeth in places!"

The man looked at the wooden branches on the ground and nodded, without questioning the other party's weird ideas that seemed to pop up at any time.

That night, it was cold and windy outside, but the two dolls had a good and warm sleep in the newly "decorated" bedroom.

Early the next morning, He Yan and Si Lu turned into animal shapes and went out to hunt together.

On the other side of the cave in the distance, more than half of the small animals are moving around, as if they are also preparing to go out.

He Yan deliberately searched inside, and felt relieved when he saw that the lazy pig beside the little fat beast was still there.

There are two thirds of the meat left by the little chubby beast, and it is stepping on the rest of the meat under the two rear paws, while the front paws are grabbing the moving pig's tail from time to time, lest it run away.

Those little beasts who went out basically didn’t have food reserves. Now they go out together. If they’re lucky, they might try to hunt small wild animals together, or pick up some animal carcasses that froze to death outside. If they’re unlucky, they can only find some fruits. And the bugs are hungry.

……

In the afternoon, He Yan and Slut returned with two prey.

When winter comes, there are fewer prey outside than usual. Although they store a lot of meat in the cave, the two still haven't thought about stopping hunting. After all, the meat that can't be eaten can be pickled and dried with fragrant salt seeds for storage , in case there is no prey in deep winter.

They have to prepare for the worst.

Si Lu's prey was a large bald tiger, while He Yan killed a smaller one.

When he reached the entrance of the cave, He Yan didn't change into a human form, and walked directly to the ancient cave in the distance with the bald tiger on his back.

Seeing the huge kind approaching, most of the little beasts subconsciously squeezed back, and then all raised their eyes to look at him.

He Yan threw the bald tiger on his back onto the snow in front of the cave entrance.

Although the bald tiger was small compared to its kind, it was like a small hill in front of a group of small beasts.

All the little beasts are boiling!

After digging the hole yesterday, they had already confirmed that the adult ferocious beast had no malice towards them, and when they saw this bald tiger that they had eaten for a long time, they immediately ran to He Yan, blinked and howled.

Congratulations: "..."

He changed back into a human form, carefully moved the pile of white balls under his feet, walked to the little fat beast staring at the bald tiger with some difficulty, and squatted down: "Little friend, do you remember our deal yesterday?" ?”

The other party just looked at him, then looked at the bald tiger at the entrance of the cave again, and nodded silly.

"Then give your lazy pig to brother now, and brother will give you that bald tiger?"

The little chubby beast suddenly sucked its saliva, blinked its eyes incredulously, then jumped up suddenly, and quickly circled around He Yan. When He Yan was puzzled, it went over and grabbed the pig's tail and handed it to him. into his hand, and then let out an annoyed cry

He Yan smiled, but he didn't take the pig away immediately. He got up and walked out, changed into the shape of a beast again, and then started to deal with the scales of the bald tiger with a few strokes of the hook claw.

He took the scales and transformed back into human form.

"Can I take this scale?"

The little chubby beast on the opposite side didn't even look at the scales, just waved its paws and jumped in front of the processed meat and started to eat it.

The other little beasts are salivating from behind, but in the long-term cooperation, they have already established and tacit rules with each other, and they will be expelled if they steal food from their partners.

Once the small beasts before adulthood leave the cooperative team, it is difficult to survive.

He Yan frowned subconsciously as he looked at those little beasts that licked their mouths and didn't even have wild fruits.

Although he and Slough had plenty of prey, the number of prey encountered in hunting had begun to decrease, especially now that it was winter when supplies were gradually scarce.

The idea of ​​having a garden to raise pre-adult small beasts in the future that he said to Junya, the premise is that many adult beasts will participate in it, because this is not something that one or two people or beasts can do.

With so many little beasts, even if he wanted to help, he couldn't help all of them, let alone help forever. If he helped one, the other little beasts might think that they could get food from him for free. Before Yuanzi was established, they might no longer go hunting or gathering with his help... Once they were discarded or their original viability was forgotten, their survival rate would drop significantly.

This is not a good thing for him and these little beasts.

At this time, a few little beasts had pushed and shoved towards him, and their flattering eyes...couldn't have been more obvious!

He Yan covered his face: ... How can I bear this!

He pondered for a long time before he thought of a solution that was not a solution.

Then, he knelt down and coughed.

The little beasts immediately looked at him with their heads held high.

Congratulations looked away a little embarrassed: "I, I will go back tonight to make a plan for useful labor that you can give, and I will inform you tomorrow, and those who have no food can come to work for me, and I, I will pay you for food... ..."

In this way, the little beasts that already have food reserves and the ability to find food outside will not all come here at once, and the little beasts that have no food can use their own labor to solve the problem of food and clothing first...

After he blushed and said the words of soliciting child labor, he immediately drove the pigs away without looking at the reactions of the little beasts.

Sloan had just finished handling the bald tiger at the entrance of the cave.

Not long ago, he saw He Yan going to the little beasts with his prey on his back, so he already knew what he was going to do.

He didn't stop him. Seeing that He Yan was driving a lazy pig over, he went straight to help him move the boulder at the entrance of the pigsty with his animal-shaped body.

He Yan immediately drove the lazy pig in.

He patted the head of the big pig who was eating big sweet potatoes and said, "Big pig, come and have a look, this is the daughter-in-law and the second pig!"

As soon as the big pig raised his eyes, he was shocked by the familiar face of the second pig.

If he had to describe Big Pig's reaction, Congratulations only thought of the phrase "when a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, his eyes are full of tears".

The new Erzhu's reaction was indifferent. After so many days, it has been fed grass by that little fat beast, and it has long been tired of eating. Now when it sees its favorite big sweet potato, it immediately pounces on it like a starving ghost, and even Hitting the big pig away with his butt, he lowered his head and gnawed wildly.

The big pig snorted twice, and acted like its master, retreated to the side, lowered its head, and threw a piece of big sweet potato in front of the second pig. The second pig glanced at it unexpectedly, lowered its head and bit it into its mouth Chewed and ate...

Seeing that they gradually became ambiguous, He Yan and Si Lu went out together.

Some time ago, in order to make it easier to dry the marinated meat indoors in winter, He Yan asked Si Lu to help him cut down some trees and split them, and put a lot of wooden shelves on the top of the cave, so that even if it rains or snows Today, they can also hang a lot of meat in the spacious room above.

He Yan returned to the cave to store most of the dried meat, and then began to marinate new meat.

Sloan has a strong learning ability. I saw him pickling once before, and whenever he had free time, he went outside to pick a large amount of fragrant salt grass, took out the seeds and pounded them, and helped him pickle them together.

The two worked quickly. After marinating the meat, they went out of the cave together to wash their hands in the nearby spring.

As soon as the result came out, He Yan was dumbfounded.

On the snow not far away, he saw such a scene——

The four little beasts carried a little fat beast back and forth in the snow, and after walking a full circle, they excitedly carried the little fat beast to the bald tiger's flesh.Then, the little chubby beast got down to the ground, twisted its butt lazily, lowered its head, bit off a few small pieces of meat from the bald tiger, and threw it towards the four little beasts.

In an instant, the meat was taken away by the four little beasts that rushed over.

But it didn't end there. Immediately, four more little beasts came, but they were carrying two slightly flat logs. When they came to the little fat beast and stopped, their front paws moved down neatly lie.

The two flat wooden sticks made the little fat beast's eyes bright, it raised its head, gave them an extremely appreciative look like a leader, and jumped on it happily.

The four little beasts immediately stood up humming and humming, carrying the little chubby beasts on the wooden sticks with pouting buttocks and enjoying a new round of "snow parade"...

Congratulations: "..."
