Prehistoric Asian beasts battle the ocean

In the early morning, Hami was awakened by the crisp sound of birdsong in the forest. After washing up, he went to see the marinated fish. Fortunately, the shade in the cave did not deteriorate.

He yawned and looked around the cave, and asked Tiger Wing, who was adding wood by the fire, "Where did Tengyan and Langmu go?"

"The two of them went to the pit before dawn to see if there was any prey that fell into it, and if there was any, they would pick it up. If there was no prey, they said they would hunt directly in the forest."

Hami nodded, took a sip of warm water and said, "That's fine."

"Come on, Huyi, let's go to the bottom of the cave and tie some bamboo rafts to dry the fish. Keep your voice down, don't wake up Chiguo, let her sleep for a while."

Anyway, Chiguo is also a woman, Hami always subconsciously wants to take care of her more.

Huyi nodded, stuffed the sleeping cat son into Chiguo's arms, and followed Hami down the steps step by step.

Since we had done sledges together before, Hami taught us nothing about tying bamboo rafts and tiger wings, so I started tying them with straw ropes.

Hami, on the other hand, carried the pickled fish in the basket from the cave, poured them out on the bamboo raft, and laid them out one by one toward the sun.

There were about seven or eight baskets of salted fish. Seeing that Huyi had already made four big bamboo rafts, which were enough, Hami interrupted him and said, "Huyi, don't make enough bamboo rafts. Let's do it around this open space." A bamboo fence, the bamboo fence can prevent some small beasts from stealing fish or attacking us."

"Okay, idle is idle anyway, you teach me how to do it."

To make a bamboo fence normally, you need to cut open the bamboo, but the most indispensable thing in prehistoric times is trees and bamboo. Hami simply used the whole bamboo to make it. A hole was dug in the ground and the bamboo was buried in the ground.

In this way, a row of bamboos is buried around the ground below the cave, and the bamboos are fastened with straw ropes to form a rectangular bamboo yard, and then a bamboo yard is left on one side. Door.

At this time, Tengyan and Langmu came back with two elephant birds and a red dragon beast. Looking at the bamboo yard in front of them, Tengyan was startled, and then Tengyan flew into the air, seeing Hami and Huyi fighting with the mud, The tense nerves were slightly relaxed.

Hami turned his head and saw a huge black snake parked in the air, and said with surprise, "You guys are back, why don't you come in?"

While talking, Hami opened the door of the bamboo courtyard, and said, "The bamboo here can be removed, just like a curtain. After we come in, we can press it on with big stones and fix it."

Fujiyan glanced at the small door, feeling that his size might get stuck, he silently threw the elephant bird on his back into the yard, and then flew over the bamboo fence to throw the red dragon beast in.

It was Wolf Eyes, who tentatively came in with four paws stretched out, walked out a few times around the yard surrounded by bamboo fences and commented, "Although it can't stop dragon beasts and Tyrannosaurus rex, it can stop some lethal forces." Small prey, well done."

Hami's face was full of black lines when he heard the evaluation of the wolf eyes like an old cadre, and said, "I didn't expect to be able to stop the Tyrannosaurus rex. That guy can spray lightning. The safest way to meet it is to run back to the cave immediately and pretend to be a quail."

While pulling the elephant bird and the red dragon beast, he said, "There are a lot of prey harvested today! Did these all fall into the pit?"

Fujiyan smiled and nodded, "Yes, the pothole is very powerful. When we went there, the bird beast and the red dragon beast fell to the bottom of the pothole. They tried to climb up but couldn't get out."

Huyi said happily, "If so many prey can be harvested in the pits, we won't have to worry about food during the snow season."

Chiguo woke up when he heard the conversation of several people, and ran down with the little tiger in his arms. Seeing so much meat, he couldn't help grinning, but also panicked a little, "The weather is so hot now, so The succulents can't be eaten all at once, I'm afraid it will be spoiled."

Hami thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll make bacon for storage later."

***

They still have a lot of things to do. In order to save time, Hami made a very simple lunch. He threw two clean fish stews into the bone pot, and then wrapped a few fish in banana leaves to make beggar fish. Flower fish is not like grilled fish. You don’t need to be watched by people to turn the fish back and forth, which saves manpower. Let’s deal with elephant bird meat and red dragon animal meat together.

The basket used to hold fresh fish was now placed on the bamboo raft to dry, and when it was empty, Hami felt a little sick to his stomach when he smelled the lingering fishy smell.

He hurriedly asked Fujiyan to take the fish-smelling and blood-stained baskets to the waterfall and clean them. Later, they would be used to hold the salted elephant bird meat and red dragon beast meat that needed time to be salted.

On the other hand, Wolfeye and Tiger Wing used sharp claws and bone knives to skin the red dragon beast, split the bones and meat, and Hami and Chiguo cut the split meat into arm-thin strips, and then cleaned it with salt. pickled.

Hami reminded, "This meat does not need to be washed, it is directly salted and marinated. After washing, it is more likely to breed bacteria, which means it is more likely to spoil."

"After rubbing the salt, put it in the basket to marinate overnight, then pierce a hole at one end of the meat strip, string it with a straw rope, hang it in a cool and ventilated place until it dries, and the bacon is ready."

In fact, all kinds of soy sauce, white sugar and other seasonings need to be applied in the middle, but they don't have anything on hand, so Hami can only use salt. Now that the conditions can preserve the meat, it is already good.

The four-legged Hami of Chidramon did not ask them to chop them into pieces, but directly used this method to make the whole leg into bacon. I heard Chiguo said that the internal organs of Chidramon were bitter and dirty, and Hami was afraid that it would not be clean. It was a waste of effort, anyway, they had enough meat now, so the internal organs were directly thrown into the soil and buried, and the disassembled bones decided to finish the stewed bone soup in a few days.

After tidying up the whole red dragon beast, bursts of fresh fragrance came out. Everyone washed their hands and sat together to eat fish, poured out the fish soup, boiled water in the bone pot, and used it to scald elephant and bird feathers later.

There are many people and strength, and it took an hour or so to pull out the feathers of the two elephant birds. Hami picked up the feathers of the elephant birds that had been pressed on the ground and put them in two back baskets, and put them together with the feathers of the two elephant birds. Put them together and put them in the hole for later use.

Since each elephant bird weighs two to three hundred catties, and there is a small fat pig that weighs too much, and the whole one cannot be dried in the shade after pickling, so Hami had to ask the orcs to chop each elephant bird into six large pieces and put salt on it. One night, wait until tomorrow and hang it on the bamboo with the red dragon meat to dry in the shade.

After a busy morning, Hami wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling that his back was hurting. He beat his waist for a while, then hugged the red dragon animal skin and the rabbit skin and fox skin left on the road before, and said to Teng Yan, "Teng Yan Yan, take me to the waterfall, I will soak these skins in the water first, and tanned animal skins need to be soaked first."

Fujiyan stared at Hami's waist, and said disapprovingly, "You're not feeling well, just lie down and rest, and I'll just soak the skin myself."

Hami said with a smile, "I'm such a delicate old man, it's okay, let's go."

Without waiting for Fujiyan to reply, he turned his head and said to Chiguo, "Chiguo, carry the feathers in the two big baskets and go with me. When the weather is good, after cleaning and drying the feathers, I will teach you how to make down jackets when you find time." and duvet."

Chiguo said worriedly, "Okay, but Hami, is your waist really okay?"

"It's okay, I can't move for a long time."

Hu Yi quickly asked, "Then what are Langmu and I going to do in the afternoon? To collect firewood?"

Hami shook his head and said, "You use Luoyang shovels to dig a few small holes in the cave to store food. We have a large number of people, so we put food, dry firewood, beds and other daily necessities in just one hole. Simply not enough."

"Okay, leave this small hole to us!" Hu Yi nodded.

Hami had already seen the power of the orcs last night. He only gave them a shovel and they shoveled out of the steps in a short time. It would not take long to dig a few small holes.

Hami soaked the animal skin in water and pressed a big stone on it to prevent the water from washing the animal skin away. Then he washed the feathers with Hami, and brought them back to dry on the bamboo raft.

We didn't go out in the afternoon, so everyone decorated the cave together. Langmu and Huyi were responsible for digging the hole, and Tengyan was responsible for sending the dug soil to the ground.

Hami walked a few times in the newly dug small hole, which is not small, about [-] to [-] square meters. Considering the coldness of winter here, Hami decided to use this small hole as a kitchen.

Then set up a stove in the kitchen, and build a fire wall in the main cave, and set up a fire kang next to the fire wall, with double layers to keep warm, so that it will be warm enough even in the coldest winter.

There is only one layer of wall between the small cave and the main cave, and the fire wall needs to be hollow. Hami chose to use bamboo as the fire wall. On the common wall between the small cave and the main cave, Hami inserted a row of bamboo vertically.

Then use soil and tough grass to make mud, and spread it evenly on the bamboo to make a bamboo wall. There is a gap between the bamboo wall and the wall shared by the two holes to form an empty fire wall for hot air. flow back and forth.

After making the fire wall, Hami and Tengyan found some stones to build a hearth. The hearth is directly connected to the hollow fire wall, so that whenever firewood is burned for cooking, the fire wall will heat up, and the temperature in the main cave will increase. will rise.

The last step is to exhaust the smoke.

Hami decided to make a chimney. The chimney was made of thick bamboo tubes. He hollowed out one side of the small cave and dug out a hole the size of a leather ball. The mud holds and the chimney is done.

When the cooking stove is cooking, the heat will flow into the hollow wall through the stove, circulate and burn in the wall, and then the smoke will be drawn out from the chimney.

Immediately afterwards, Hami asked the orcs to build a large heated kang that was big enough for several of them to sleep in the place where the main cave was next to the fire wall. The mouth is used to burn the kang.

Then spread the mud between the gaps in the stones to prevent exposure to heat and smoke. The surface of the kang is also made of bamboo, and a bamboo raft is tied with a straw rope. Both sides of the bamboo raft are smeared with mud. Several people carry the muddy Bamboo rafts are laid on the square of stones, and finally a circle of mud is applied to modify the shape of the heated kang, so that the heated kang is completed.

Since Tengyan and Huyi can fly, they can quickly bring back what they need, and Langmu is strong enough to dig out a small cave by themselves. Therefore, until the middle of the night, apart from having a main cave , and five small holes were built, each with forty to fifty square meters, and a stove, fire wall, and heated kang were also set up, and they just waited to dry in the shade and then light a fire for experimentation.

After digging the soil for a day, everyone was ashen and dirty. Hami wanted to take a bath, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable, but he also knew that it would be dangerous to go to the waterfall in the middle of the night, so he had to endure it and brushed his teeth and washed his face. asleep.

Tonight he fell asleep very quickly, but after a while he was woken up by the sound of meowing and something grinding its claws. He opened his eyes in a daze, and saw all the orcs standing at the entrance of the cave by the light of the fire. He stared out of the cave with all his attention.

"What's going on outside?"

Hearing Hami's voice, Fujiyan comforted him softly, "It's okay, it's just that a group of cats and beasts came to steal fish, so you can continue to sleep."

Hearing about stealing fish, Hami's face turned green with anger, and his bewildered mind immediately came to his senses. He ran to the entrance of the cave, thrust his waist, and scratched his paws at the cat crawling up and down outside the bamboo yard, trying to get over the bamboo fence and enter the yard. The beast roared, "Fuck off, don't steal labor's fish!"

Under the big moon, everything is covered with a layer of silver-white moon veil, but you can see everything clearly.

Hami rubbed his eyes, and was speechless for a long time after seeing the figure and fur of the cat beast clearly. It turned out that the cat beast was a caracal cat.

And the caracal cats didn't even stop their voices, and they were depressed for a while. He angrily held a thin bamboo and wanted to run down the mountain, but was stopped by Teng Yan's tail.

"Stay here honestly, I will drive them away."

After saying that, Huyi and Tengyan immediately waved their wings, went down the cave, flew over the bamboo fence, and slapped the caracals climbing on the fence. After a while, there was no movement at all.

Chiguo hugged the little tiger's head sleepily and shouted to Huyi and Tengyan outside the yard, "You just have to drive them away. The meat of cats and beasts is sour. Don't waste your energy catching them."

A large group of cats and beasts made such a fuss at night, and adding that the stove and fire wall last night lasted until midnight, the rare orcs also got up late the next day.

Looking at the sun that had climbed to the middle outside the cave, Fujiyan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, he hurriedly confessed to Hami, and flew to the pit with Hu Yi, intending to bring back today's harvest first.

Hami went to the yard to get a few half-dried fish, took out a bone from the bamboo basket placed in the hole, and handed it to Chiguo, "Chiguo, you stay here to grill the fish. Let’s make some red dragon bone soup, and the wolf eye and I will hang the marinated elephant bird meat and red dragon beast meat on the bamboo to dry.”

Chiguo nodded, "Okay, leave lunch to me today, and watch you cook every day, I have already learned how to cook."

Hami said with a smile, "This time you have a chance to show your skills, but this fish has been salted, so don't add salt when grilling."

"Okay, I got it. I'm not stupid, so hurry up and go about your business."

Chiguo quickly reached out and pushed him out of the cave.

Hami smiled and carried a basket of meat and walked out following the meaning of Chiguo. He carried all the meat to the yard, sweating from exhaustion. He skewered the meat on straw ropes. Eyes hanging on the bamboo.

After Hami and Langmu finished drying the meat, seeing that Tengyan and Huyi hadn't come back, they decided to cover the floor and walls of the small cave with bamboo first, so as to avoid rubbing it, there would be black ash everywhere, and it would still hurt to step on it. It's dirt, and it's not easy to clean.

Hami actually wanted to use bamboo to hang the ceiling, otherwise he would always feel that the top of his head would fall off when cooking in the cave, but this can only be done after Fujiyan and Huyi come back. After all, the ceiling of the cave is so high that only they can fly up.

The wolf looked sideways, "How to lay bamboo?"

Hami thought for a while and asked, "Langmu, do you know that there is a tree that secretes a milky white sticky liquid?"

Hami actually wanted to ask about rubber trees or pine trees, but he was afraid that the wolf eyes would not know what rubber trees and pine trees were, so he had to ask this question.

"Milky white and sticky liquid..." Langmu repeated, then widened his eyes and said, "You mean the crying tree?"

Hami: "..."

Damn crying tree.

"I found a few crying trees near the pothole before. When the bark of the crying tree is cut, a milky white liquid will flow out. The liquid is very viscous. Once it is touched by the tree and wants to leave, the bark will be peeled off, and the leaves of the tree It is also poisonous, animals are not willing to approach it, what is the trunk of this tree you ask?"

"Use it to hang bamboo on the ceiling, take me to have a look, I want to see if the slime from the crying tree can be used."

Langmu nodded, "Okay, you sit on me."

"Wait a minute, I'll go and talk to Chiguo first, and tell her not to leave the cave and the yard."

Since the cave is located in the middle of the mountain wall, ordinary animals cannot climb up, and the ground is protected by a bamboo yard. As long as Chiguo and Hutou hide in the cave and do not come out, there should be no safety problems for an hour or two.

Besides, he and Langmu won't be out for long, and after counting the time, Tengyan and Huyi will be back soon, so he decided to go to see the crying tree first.

Hami sat on the back of the giant wolf with a few bamboo tubes in his arms. The wolf's eyes moved very fast, bringing up gusts of warm wind. In this hot summer, it felt very comfortable to blow on his body, but it was not so friendly to his forehead. up.

Hami's hair has grown a little these days, but now it was blown back by the wind, exposing his smooth forehead, which was reddened by the sun in a short while and sweated profusely on his forehead.

Hami thought dizzily, but fortunately he only took about 20 minutes to reach the place, otherwise he might have passed out.

He jumped off the ground to wipe off his sweat, looked at the 30-meter-high trees in front of him, and said with some gloom, "Although this tree looks very similar to a rubber tree, it's a pity that it's not a rubber tree."

Langmu said affirmatively, "Although the crying tree is not the rubber tree you mentioned, it also secretes mucus."

"Then I'll try it."

Hami carefully cut the bark with a bone knife, and then the milky white glue flowed out slowly. He picked up two twigs and tried to stick them together to test the stickiness. The two twigs just touched each other. He found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't separate it. Hami was very pleasantly surprised. It seems that the glue is very viscous and can also be used as glue.

He pointed the bamboo tube at the cut on the crying tree. The glue was very rich, and the bamboo tube was filled in a short time.

"Be careful not to touch the leaves and seeds scattered on the ground. These are poisonous and can cause stomach pain and even death." Langmu reminded Hami, passing a diabolo tube.

Hami nodded, took the diabolo tube, placed it in the cut of the crying tree, and then covered the full bamboo tube with milky white glue with leaves, and tied it tightly with a straw rope to seal it.

"Hami, Langmu? Why are you here?" Huyi's surprised greeting pulled Hami out of his mind immersed in the joy of the harvest.

Hami raised his head, and saw Hu Yi staring at his big round tiger eyes, a brown-skinned cow-like creature was carried between the two snow-white wings on his body, and Teng Yan behind him was curling up with his tail. A huge crimson centipede.

Hami was immediately frightened by the big crimson centipede, and stood up with a groan, pointing at the big centipede and tremblingly, ignoring the answer to Tiger Wing, "Teng Yan, why did you come back with such a big centipede? "

The appearance of this crimson centipede is very terrifying. It is huge and has hundreds of legs. Hami has always been afraid of this kind of segmented body and extremely poisonous predatory arthropod. Unable to accept it, he rubbed the goosebumps on his body, wishing he could drag Tengyan over and scrub it off immediately.

Teng Yan snapped off the tip of his tail, threw the big centipede onto Langmu, and whispered to Hami, "Don't be afraid, this worm is dead."

Langmu's body suddenly sank, his knees bent, and he almost fell to the ground. He stood up straight with all four legs and rolled his eyes at Tengyan fiercely. just go.

Huyi hurriedly followed Langmu, turned around and said, "I don't worry about Chiguo and her mother, I will go with Langmu first."

Fujiyan nodded, and then frowned at Hami, "Hami, what are you doing with this? This liquid is not good, it's sticky."

Hami repeated to Fujiyan what he had said to Langmu.

Although Fujiyan can’t understand why Hami, a good cave, should be paved with bamboo, but as long as he is happy, Fujiyan thinks that he will support what he wants to do, not to mention that potholes and fishing nets can catch a lot of food, even if they don’t, that’s a big deal If he worked harder, he would go out hunting at night.

However, Fujiyan felt that his idea was a bit redundant. According to the daily harvest of the potholes, it is estimated that they will have a good time in this snow season.

Back in the cave, Chiguo had already been cooked. Hami tasted it, not to mention the taste was really good.

He stretched out his thumb to Chiguo and praised her a few words. If Chiguomei had a tail behind her, it would probably be up to the sky. After everyone had eaten the grilled fish and drank the bone soup, Hami began to allocate the whole day task.

He said to Langmu and Chiguo, "Langmu, you and Chiguo made this bull into bacon like yesterday. As for the centipede," Hami waved his hand and said with a gesture of not wanting to take another look. , "Just wash it first, cut it into pieces and dry it in pieces, and use it as medicine."

Hami thought that he could also use the centipede to make medicinal wine, and after he cleaned up the cave, he went out to pick more red fruits to see if he could distill fruit wine.

"As for Fujiyan Huyi and I, we are responsible for gluing these holes with bamboo."

Hami’s method of decorating the cave with bamboo is very simple and crude. It is to remove the head and tail of the bamboo, split it in two from the middle, and then smear milky white mucus on the hollow side of the bamboo, and stick it directly to the wall, leaving the emerald green bamboo side facing the wall. outside.

Just stick the bamboos on the wall one by one, and the walls are all glued to the top of the sticky cave. The top of the cave is not smooth. Huyi took the Luoyang shovel to level the protruding place, and then cooperated with the rattan rock , Glue the bamboos side by side to the top of the hole.

Finally, the ground was glued, and after the ground was completely glued, the whole cave suddenly became emerald green, which was many times stronger than the previous state of being black and dirty.

Because the snow season here is very cold, and Hami himself is not yet frost-resistant, and he plans to eat at least two meals a day even in the snow season, so it is essential to store more dry firewood.

The newly dug and renovated five small caves are all clean. Hami doesn't want to use them to store firewood, and he has already assigned their functions.

Two of the caves are used to store food, one cave is used to store clothes and quilts made of animal skins, the other cave is used to store weapons and herbs, and the last small cave is a kitchen with a stove. , the use of the five caves is just right.

As for the original idea of ​​digging a hole to raise fish, Hami thought it over after thinking about it. The main reason is that fish are not easy to raise. Not only can digging a hole be easy to raise, but fish also need oxygen and water changes. , and they don't have the conditions to raise them now and they don't have the energy. With the skill of raising fish, they can catch a lot more fish.

But it is necessary to build a woodshed.

Fortunately, the strength of the orcs is very strong, plus there is glue, so Hami built a bamboo house with about 100 square meters of bamboo in the yard next to the mountain wall and next to the steps, which is specially used to store dry firewood and hay. Primer.

The bamboo house has two doors, the front and the back, and the steps leading up to the cave are connected to the back door of the bamboo house, so you don’t have to go too far to get firewood, you can get it directly through the back door.

Next to the bamboo hut, a smaller bamboo hut was built as a toilet. A large pit was dug inside, and two relatively flat stone slabs were glued to the pit for stepping on to go to the toilet.

When the busy work is done, the sun has completely set, and Chiguo has already cooked. Hami looked at the dried fish in the yard outside, and it was completely dry. He decided to use the current time to make a cabinet to store these dried fish .

Hami fixed four round bamboos together with mortise and tenon structure to form a three-dimensional cuboid, and then split the bamboo into strips to weave multiple rectangular mats, and fixed the mats on each side of the cuboid with straw ropes and glue. On the surface, such a simple bamboo cabinet is made.

Hami put the cabinet into a small cave and stood it against the wall, then put the dried fish into the cabinet one by one. Long animal skins are used as cabinet doors to prevent dust and mosquitoes from flying in.

After finishing this, Hami patted the dust on his hands, looked at the tall bamboo cabinet and sighed, "It seems that we need to make a few more cabinets to store elephant bird bacon and red dragon beast bacon, and put them in different categories. , and it’s easier to take when you want to eat.”
