[Ting Yu] Abandoned in the wild

34, tacit understanding

Early the next morning, Chen Ting, Mike Okur and the other five left the tribe with food and water to hunt on the grassland.And Lueshang and Sanliu went up the mountain, bypassed the wall in front of the small waterfall, and went to the northern side of the mountain, which had never been deeply visited.The mountain on this side is not exposed to sunlight all year round, and the land is wet and covered with moss.But it also nourishes many shade-loving plants, which grow in the depths of the dense jungle.

Lue Shang held a small knife that was just made by Sanliu in the past few days. It was smaller than the dagger, but it was still a handy weapon.The mountain road on the back where few people stepped on was too thorny and overgrown with weeds. Lueshang relied on this small knife to cut off the plants blocking the road, so that Sanliu who followed behind could go all the way smoothly.

"Be careful, there are still gaps in the soles of our straw sandals. If you step on any sharp plants, you will be stabbed." Lue Shang cut down a bush of vines full of thorns, and pointed at the people behind him. The man cautioned.

"I know." Sanliu nodded, and glanced at a big tree not far away, "Be careful too, the one in front is a sumac tree, which is poisonous."

"Okay." Lue Shang nodded.

Sanliu followed him, thinking while walking: "Actually, you are right. Although the straw sandals have saved us the problem of bare feet, there are still many inconveniences in using them."

"Then how do people there make shoes?" Lueshang turned back and asked him with a smile.

Where are they?Sanliu thought about the various shoes worn by modern people, and subconsciously shook her head.It's too unrealistic.

"I think we can sew a layer of tanned cowhide on the inside of the sole of the straw sandals, and then weave the upper on the outside, make a tube with fluffy animal skin and sew it on the sole, and use a rope when wearing it Tie it on the leg. This can keep you warm in winter, and you won’t worry about freezing your feet when it snows. In summer, you can make shoes without cylinders, which are cooler.”

Listening to his thoughts, Lueshang looked surprised, "This idea is really good. We go out in winter when we are most afraid of snow. Every time we go out, our feet are numb from the cold, and it will itch badly again when we go back to the house. Very guilty."

Sanliu nodded, and said: "Then I'll tell Xiyu and the others about this method when I go back, so I can try it."

"Well, okay." Lue Shang nodded.

"It's going to be summer now, and tanned cowhide is the most waterproof. Maybe you can consider making a few pairs of shoes with cowhide soles first."

"It's fine if you think it's fine." Lue Shang nodded again.

Sanliu smiled 'puchi', "Why do you nod at everything I say?"

"Because you're right." Lueshang scratched his head embarrassingly, "You can always come up with some good ideas. Look at our current house, which is comfortable and practical, much better than the houses of other people in the tribe. There are too many. Many people have come to me quietly to inquire about it these days."

"So did you tell them?"

Lue Shang paused for a moment, then nodded, "I think it's better for everyone to live more comfortably, and our current house is safer. If cannibals come, we can protect ourselves, so we didn't hide it, so I will tell everyone It's gone." He said, looked at Sanliu, and said cautiously: "You won't be unhappy, will you?"

After all, this is the method that Sanliu and Ah Ting researched, but he told the inquirer without even discussing it.

"How come?" Sanliu shook his head, "You are kind-hearted and willing to help more people, why should I be unhappy?"

"Ah?" Lueshang was taken aback for a while, and it took him a long time to realize that Sanliu was praising himself just now, "Wh...it's not as good as you said." He scratched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.

But Sanliu blinked her big clear eyes, and nodded seriously, "You are warm-hearted, kind to your friends, and kind-hearted, what's wrong?"

The well-known doctor in modern society is naive about love. He only thinks that others are good and he must sincerely praise them.However, he didn't know that Lueshang's mind, which had been a little volatile, immediately became turbulent after hearing his praise.

"You..." He smiled shyly, "You are also very good. You are very smart and have many ideas. You can do everything, cook delicious food, and take care of your baby. You are also great. Who will be your partner in the future? , will be very happy." In his eyes, Sanliu is the most outstanding female he has ever seen, and the longer he spends with her, the more uncontrollably his eyes and thoughts will be on him.

Sanliu was taken aback by his praise, looked at the smiling Lue Shang, nodded in approval, "He should be very happy."

At least I will work hard to help him and make him happy.

Sanliu thought so in his heart, but he didn't realize the problem in his words at all.Lue Shang was taken aback by his words, and the smile on his face disappeared all of a sudden.

The word 'he', doesn't it mean that Sanliu already has such a person in his heart and plans to become a partner with him.

Thinking of this, inexplicable frustration and disappointment crept up in Lueshang's heart, he began to talk unhappily, and walked forward with a sullen head, forgetting that the people behind him couldn't keep up.

"Hey." Sanliu panted and called him, "I didn't have time to look at many plants carefully, so don't leave in such a hurry."

"Oh." Lueshang pursed his lips and stood far away waiting for him.

The area in front of Sanliu's eyes is a place that is rarely seen by the sun on the mountain side. According to the records in the book, the human beings once sprinkled a lot of food seeds on this mountainous area.The earth is reborn in Nirvana, and these plants should all be able to grow well in the new environment.Sanliu wants to find some new seasoning plants. The food at home is nothing more than two flavors of salt and garlic. After eating for a long time, the human body will not be able to stand it. I should find some new seasonings to supplement it.

The plant species in the area under the sun is relatively dense, so Sanliu can only step into the grass to search for the same one.Suddenly, a 'hissing' sound came from his ear, his heart shuddered, the hairs on his body stood on end, he turned stiffly and looked towards the source of the sound, and sure enough, he saw a rattlesnake with a triangular-shaped head looking up at him Spit out bright red snake core.

"Slightly... slightly business!" Sanliu did not dare to move a step, and lowered her voice to call out.

Lue Shang, who was standing far away, was thinking about the messy thoughts in his heart, completely oblivious to the situation of Sanliu here.

"A little business." Sanliu licked his lips and raised his voice a little bit higher.

And it was this sound that made the snake, which was still eyeing a tiger, suddenly riot.It made a sudden movement and rushed towards Sanliu's calf.The sharp and venomous fangs were exposed from the opened snake's mouth. Just one bite could kill someone.

"Ah!" Sanliu yelled loudly, turned around and ran in the direction of Lue Shang.

"Three six."

Lueshang was finally startled by the exclamation, and when he looked up, he saw a poisonous snake following Sanliu's heels less than half an inch away, opening its mouth to bite his calf.He didn't even have time to think about it, he raised his hand and threw the knife in his hand, firmly stabbing it seven inches above the poisonous snake.The snake just struggled and twitched a few times, then completely limp on the ground, no longer breathing.

Sanliu was completely unaware of the change in the situation behind him, and plunged into Lueshang's arms, still panting heavily in shock.

"Are you okay? There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants that often come out of the grass. How can you go in by yourself?" The incident of Sanliu's almost injury made Lueshang flustered for a while. the meaning of.

Sanliu raised his head, the corners of his eyes were still a little watery after being frightened, making his big eyes watery, "I called you twice but you didn't hear me."

"I..." Lueshang was at a loss for words, he couldn't tell that he was worrying about the 'him' mentioned in the three or six mouths.

"I'm fine." Sanliu shook his head, as if he didn't want him to worry.

But his appearance will only make Lueshang blame himself even more, "No, it's my fault, I shouldn't blame you, it's me..." At this point, he gritted his teeth, grabbed Sanliu's hand, "Sanliu, I think the person in your heart must be very good, but... But I can also do very well, and I can help you with whatever you need. If... If you can, give me one... "

"What kind of person is in your heart?" Sanliu interrupted him with a sentence, with a confused look on his face.

"Eh?" Lue Shang was taken aback, "It's the one you said, 'he' will be very happy."

Sanliu tilted her head, glanced at the man beside her, and narrowed her eyes slightly, "There will always be such a person."

What he said made Lueshang's eyes brighten, "What about now?"

Sanliu pursed her lips and smiled, then shook her head silently.

Lue Shang thought he meant that this person did not exist yet, but he completely forgot that there might be another possibility.

"Sanliu, I'm sorry, I was really sorry just now." It was all because of his own wild thinking, which almost caused the female he liked to be in danger, he was really stupid.

"It's okay." Sanliu still had that gentle smile on her face, so soft that it made people feel like a gust of cool wind blowing through her heart.

"Then let's go, this time I will hold you, and I will never put you in danger again." He took the other's hand and clasped his fingers.

"En." Sanliu nodded, her clear eyes were full of trust.

This trust warmed Lueshang's heart, he walked over and pulled the knife from the snake, and turned to leave.But Sanliu stopped him and asked him to take the dead snake away. The gallbladder of such a poisonous snake usually has medicinal properties, so he can take it back for Zhiyuan to use.

Lue Shang naturally listened to him, pulled out the poisonous snake's fangs and put it into the animal skin bag, happily took Sanliu's hand and continued walking inside.At noon, they simply had lunch on the mountain road, and what they brought with them was the grilled meat wrapped in bread made by Xiyu, which tasted very good.The drinking water is directly taken from the clearest section of the mountain stream with a small bamboo tube, which tastes sweet and refreshing.

After the meal, the two of them took a short rest, and then continued to walk forward, walking a lot on the way over the mountain and down the mountain.After about an hour or so, I saw the gray-blue coastline not far away.

"This place is indeed facing the sea." Sanliu looked at the turbulent sea in front of him in amazement.

"What?" Lueshang didn't hear clearly and looked sideways at him.

"It's okay." Sanliu shook his head with a smile, and glanced at the beach not far away, "Bring back some fresh ingredients today."

"Ok?"

Sanliu took him and arrived at the beach after a short walk.There are a lot of sea oysters on the reef here, and occasionally when the tide recedes, you can also see crabs that didn't come and follow from the beach.Sanliu caught some water in a bamboo tube and sealed it. The original bamboo tube was filled with sea salt taken from the reef and dried. As long as these things are carefully ground and made, they can be made into edible table salt , but the problem of bitter taste needs to go back and study it again.

As he thought about it, his subordinates kept busy, with Lue Shang helping out. After a while, the two of them collected three or four bamboo tubes of sea salt.Take it back and make it, enough for a summer.

The coastline in the distance is gradually turning pale red, and the sky is getting darker in three or six days. The way back still has to pass through the shade of the mountain on the back.This road is much more dangerous than before, maybe the sky is getting darker, and the hidden beasts are not afraid of the appearance of people, hiding in the grass and hiding, watching the two people in a hurry.

When they were about to reach the small waterfall, the roadside happened to be the rosewood group that Sanliu and Chen Ting had found earlier.When he came here before, he was only looking for suitable wood, and he didn't pay attention to other things at all.On a big tree not far from the rosewood group, there is actually a big beehive hanging, and the hardworking bees come and go, busy.

"honeycomb."

Sanliu had a face full of surprise, this is a good baby, there are good things available almost all over his body.And with this honeycomb, you can also get honey, which is very necessary for the barbaric era when there is no sugar food.

"Do you want it?" Lue Shang looked at him and asked.

Sanliu nodded, Lue Shang looked around, and the big black shadow that had been following just now seemed to have disappeared.Looking at the tree again, it wasn't a big problem for him.

"I'll bring it for you." The bees in the hive would swear to the death to defend their homeland and the queen bee inside, but seeing Sanliu so happy, these were not a problem, it was nothing more than being stung by a bee.

"Don't." Sanliu stopped him, "It's no wonder that your whole body swells up without being stung."

"It's okay." Lueshang said, "If you want it, I'll definitely bring it for you." He patted his chest and said, "This skin is rough and fleshy, it's fine to sting a few times."

"Why is it all right?" Sanliuji said seriously, "If you get stung by a bee, you might die."

As he spoke, he took out a black object wrapped in leaves from his backpack and placed it right under the hive.I found some dry weeds from the ground and piled them together, drilled wood with sharp branches to get fire, and ignited the black thing.When the mass burned, he took out two small animal skins and dipped them in water to cover his and Lueshang's mouths and noses, then took out a small bamboo tube to open the sealed wood, and poured the liquid inside.

Even with the thick animal skin covering his nose, Lue Shang could smell a stench and pungent smell at this moment, not to mention the beehive right above this thing.All the bees were blown out and fled in all directions.Seeing that the time is right, Sanliu hurriedly asked Lueshang to climb up the treetop, took off the hive with a knife and hugged it with a piece of animal skin, and ran to the small waterfall without any delay, for fear that the bees would come back and find that their home was gone .

After tossing all the way like this, when they returned to Xiyu's house at the foot of the mountain, they were already on the willow shoots.Xiyu stood at the door of the house by the moonlight and waited for them. As soon as he saw them coming back, he hurried up to meet them, asking questions and caring.In the stone house, Chen Ting nailed two shelves on the wall and hung two torches, which were considered bright.The exhausted Lueshang and Sanliu felt relieved from the tension and exhaustion of the day by eating a meal and drinking a bowl of warm vegetable soup.

Sanliu took out the hive and showed it to Zhiyuan and the others. Meka and Zora were amazed and couldn't believe how they brought the hive back safely.Sanliu and Lue Shang, who was discussing hunting with some men not far away, looked at each other, and they showed a tacit smile on each other.
