[Ting Yu] Abandoned in the wild

15. Crisis 1

That night, Chen Ting explained to Xiyu that he was going out the next day. Xiyu was still very worried about the recovery of his leg injury, so he proposed to go with the three of them, but Chen Ting immediately rejected it.

The little wife was anxious, holding the drowsy Azhan sitting on the animal skin and pursing her lips, feeling sad alone.When Chen Ting came back from washing his face by the stream, he saw him holding his mouth and looking like he was about to cry.Sighing helplessly, he walked to the animal skin and put it on, hugging Xiyu and his son in his arms.

"Don't worry, Lue Shang and Mike have been to the place I'm going tomorrow. They're very experienced, and we're not hunting. We're just looking for some cobwebs to make window curtains. There won't be any danger." Chen Ting He explained it to Xiyu in great detail, trying to dispel his worries.

"But..." Xiyu licked his lips and said worriedly, "Last time Ah Ting went to the forest, and then..."

He didn't dare to say any more, no matter how long it had happened, he couldn't forget the scene when he saw his blood-drenched partner being carried back.So much so that for a long time afterwards, he even dreamed about that scene, and was frightened awake in the middle of the night.

Chen Ting's eyes softened, and his arms hugged a little tighter, "Fool, the last time we went to the depths of the forest, this time it was only on the edge, very close to the tribe, sometimes many females go faster to pick fruit than This time the place is far away, do you think there will be any danger?"

Why didn't he know what Xiyu was worried about, but there were many things he had to do, and only by working hard could they survive in such a barbaric age.

"Really?" Xiyu asked with some uncertainty.

"En." Chen Ting nodded.

The little wife pursed her lips uncomfortably, and compromised helplessly, "Okay then, Xiyu is at home."

Chen Ting smiled, and changed his little wife to a more comfortable position. The family of three hugged each other and gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, Xiyu got up early and prepared all the leftover food for Ah Ting. When the sun came out, he hurriedly made saponin mud for him.After Chen Ting woke up and saw everything in front of him, he couldn't help laughing, and he also enjoyed the meticulous and thoughtful service of his little wife with peace of mind. After eating well, he brought the three slingshots he had made, and pulled Xiyu to hold Ah Zhanchao in his arms. Go to the house of the Tribal Lillo Merchant.

It seemed that Ning Zhiyuan also got the news that the three of them were going out today, so he waited here early in the morning and planned to take Xiyu to pull some weeds to dry.Chen Ting was relieved to hand over his wife and children to him. The three of them checked their luggage and set off.

What Chen Ting and Xiyu said last night was indeed true. The forest that Lueshang said was full of white spiders was in the upper reaches of the river not far from the tribe.Chen Ting calculated the time with a modern timepiece, and they walked for about an hour and a half to reach the edge of the forest.

"It's here." Mike pointed to the depths of the forest where the light was slightly dim due to the dense tree branches and leaves, "Most of those white spiders are still sleeping in their nests at this time, and they won't come out until the sun rises. Now is the best time to collect spider webs." It seemed that the two of them really knew this area very well, even the habits of those white spiders.

"En." Chen Ting nodded, and took out two slingshots from the animal skin bag he carried with him to share with them, "Pick up some more small stones from the ground, about two or three rings larger than the thumbnail. , keep it with you, and if you encounter danger, put the stone in the place of the calfskin to clamp it, then pull the tendon and shoot it out forcefully, as long as you aim accurately, it should be more lethal than those stone house weapons."

"Okay." Lueshang and Mike each took over and began to collect suitable small stones from the ground.

In less than a while, the three of them each picked up half a pocket of pebbles, and then practiced the operation skills of the slingshot in the big tree outside the forest for a while. After Chen Ting saw that Lue Shang and Mike were proficient in operating it, he decided to use it now. Enter the forest, so as not to wait until noon when the white spider wakes up and cause unnecessary trouble.

Chen Ting was more experienced in walking in dense forests, so he picked up a wooden stick and walked in front, followed by Lueshang and Mike.Now is the season when snakes, insects, rats and ants appear most frequently at the end of spring. With a stick in front to explore the way, you can always largely avoid some kind of lethal animal suddenly jumping out, and you cannot be prepared for it for a while.The three walked carefully, and slowly began to walk into the middle of the forest according to the route indicated by Lue Shang.Just when the sunlight had begun to dwindle, and only the light and shadows that shone through the dense sky, they finally saw those white spider webs between the big trees in the distance.

Chen Ting, who saw these for the first time, couldn't help being amazed by the uncanny creation art of this barbaric era. He didn't know what kind of creatures could weave such dense and white spider webs.He walked over slowly, looking at these spider webs repeatedly with some appreciation.They are indeed as Lue Shang said, the weaving texture is very dense, and ordinary insects really cannot pass through the gaps in the spider web.And these spider webs are very strange, it doesn't have the mucus that normal spider webs have.With a gust of wind passing through the woods, you can even see its softness and softness dancing with the wind.

Chen Ting stretched out his hand in surprise, the cleanliness he touched was like touching a thin cotton gauze.

"How is it? Not bad." From his eyes, Lueshang felt that he seemed to have found the right thing, and couldn't help but feel a little excited and proud.

"It's really good. It's really a good thing to use these to cover those wooden shelves, which can transmit light and block mosquitoes." Chen Ting nodded affirmatively, and then stretched out his hand to pull the spider webs.

But after pulling for a long time, he saw that these spider webs were still tied to the tree trunk by extremely thin spider threads, and they did not move at all.Chen Ting was a little stunned. These things were so tough, how could they take them away?

"Hahaha..." There were laughter from two other people behind him, Chen Ting looked over and found that Lue Shang and Mike were looking at him narrowly.

"I thought you were smart because you were injured and bored at home this time, why did you become stupid all of a sudden." Mike said, and he had already started to climb up a tree, while Lue Shang climbed another tree.

The two of them reached the place halfway up the tree where the spider silk was bound, and saw that Lue Shang took out the iron dagger from his small bag, stretched out his hand and stabbed lightly, and a spider thread tied to the tree was cut off. .He followed the same pattern and continued to cut off another spider thread on the trunk.Then he threw the dagger to Mike, who caught it firmly on the other side, and also used his method to cut off the other two spider webs, and a complete spider web about the size of a round dining table landed on Chen Ting. underfoot.

"Is one enough?" asked the merchant on the tree.

Chen Ting thought for a while, and said: "Our new house needs it, and I plan to use the old house as a warehouse for storing grain." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment to think, and then said: "What about you? Do you want to rebuild your house?"

"Of course." Both of them nodded without doubt.

Chen Ting nodded, and said again: "Then add Ning Zhiyuan's house..."

From a certain level, Ning Zhiyuan looks at him now as if he were an enemy, but ever since he knew the identities of each other who grew up together, and saw his kindness to Xiyu, he naturally counted him in his heart The ranks of friends and family.

"Hey hey!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lue Shang, "Let's leave the house in Zhiyuan alone." He waved his hand and said.

"Why?" Chen Ting was puzzled. "His thatched cottage looks very dangerous. If it rains in summer..."

"That's not okay." Mike came down from the tree, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Ah Ting, I know your intentions are good. You worry about his house every season. But you also understand Zhiyuan's temper. When you were not injured before, you would quarrel every time you mentioned such a thing. If you bring it up now, I’m afraid his character will still not agree. Before he finds a partner for himself, he will never let others help He did it, I don't think you should force him this time." Every time Ning Zhiyuan mentioned this matter before, he would throw a tantrum, but they were afraid, so they never dared to mention it again.

'companion? A trace of doubt arose in Chen Ting's heart, and then he thought of a sentence he heard from Xiyu before: "Because they don't have a partner, they can't build a stone house." '

So... In this tribe, females can only live in thatched huts, and switching to stone huts means that they have married someone else, and the other party will naturally build a strong stone hut for the new family.

After figuring this out, Chen Ting nodded in approval, "Then let's ask for two first, and when Zhiyuan has a partner, we'll help him get new ones."

"Hmm." Both Lueshang and Mike nodded in agreement, and began to climb towards the other two trees.

Because of the role of the iron dagger, this time the task of picking spider webs was very fast.After cutting the second spider web, Lue Shang and Mike quickly jumped down to help Chen Ting pack up the two webs and put them in the animal skin bag he brought. At the same time, they had to pay attention to the surroundings carefully, worrying that if the white spider suddenly appeared Danger.Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and the cooperation between the three of them was also very tacit. After installing the things, the three of them each held their weapons and retreated slowly towards the outskirts of the forest in a triangular position.

At this time, the sun was already close to noon, and the light from between the branches and leaves on the top of the tree began to fall vertically on the ground.Lue Shang was more experienced than Chen Ting in this area, and he knew that this was actually the time when white spiders would appear.He didn't dare to make a sound, and explained the situation to the other two with hand gestures. The three of them got 12 points of energy in their hearts, and walked lightly but quickly towards the outside of the forest.

At this moment, Chen Ting suddenly heard rustling sounds from the grass beside the road.The three of them were stunned, and they all raised their slingshots to aim in the direction that made the weird noise.

Suddenly, a dark shadow burst out from the grass...
