Otherworldly Survival

After Hai returned home, he looked at the whole room of meat for a while, and then he had an idea.

I don't have much salt at home, so I have to buy some.Half of the meat is salted and hung on the beams of the house to dry in preparation for the cold season.Give Lang some of the remaining half of the meat, and trade the rest for things.

"Hai." Lang walked in, holding a small pot in one hand, and a bundle of rattan in the other hand. The green leaves of the rattan were peeled off, and the rattan was small and strong. "Qing said you were processing meat, let me come over and take a look. I also brought some salt at home."

Hai cut a piece of meat and handed it to Lang. "You take the meat home first."

It is about the food intake of a soldier for five days.

Lang looked at the sea, then at the meat, fell silent for a while, took the meat with his hand, and said with a smile. "good."

When he awakens the totem, he can fight more beasts, and then he can also give sea meat.

Soon Lang came back, and the two quickly cut half of the meat into strips, carried them to the stream and washed them, and after the water dripped dry, they put salt on them and hung them under the beams of the house .

Looking at it in a row, it is very spectacular.

"Lang, when are you going to go to the other three tribes to exchange things?" Hai asked.

Lang stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, he was a little embarrassed, and said falteringly. "I don't have a few pieces of animal skins in my house, so I just thought about going back for some salt in two days."

It is useless to go to the other two tribes.He had nothing to change.It is not easy for a family of three to barely eat enough to hunt on weekdays.

"I want all three tribes to go and have a look." Hai's meaning was obvious.

Lang also heard it, and said directly without saying a word. "Okay. I'll ask them. Do you want to take the rest of the meat?" His face was slightly dark, and there was a hint of worry between his brows.

This is mountain bear meat, and there are only six of them ordinary soldiers, so the road will not be peaceful.

"En." Hai nodded in response, paused, and said again. "Let them go too."

Hearing this, Lang felt relieved. "Success. When are you going? I'll tell them."

"Go tomorrow. After returning, you can enter the mountain twice." In the long cold season, we need to prepare more food.

Lang thought so too, and he cheerfully said hello, seeing that there was nothing to do here, he left.

As dusk fell, Hai wanted to bring the child back, but the fishy smell in the house was still very strong.

His thick eyebrows were frowned tightly. He leaned against the door of the house and looked at Lang's wooden house. He couldn't explain the feeling in his heart, but it was quite uncomfortable, worse than being bitten by a wild animal.

"What are you looking at?" Lang strode over, reached out and patted Hai on the shoulder. "I'll sleep with you for one night. Qing said that I smell bad, and there is only a stone bed at home, and I can't sleep well when I'm near a child."

"Go into the house." Hai said, and then he went into the house and asked again. "Did he wake up in the afternoon? Did he eat some fruit? Did you laugh?"

In fact, I still want to ask, if he is not around, does the child stare at the door of the house.

Every time he came back from the mountains to pick up the child, he would see the child staring eagerly at the door before stepping into the wooden house, and when he saw him, he would grin, it was so pretty.

"Woke up twice, urinated, and fed eight female fruits, didn't you laugh, I don't know about this." Lang said, and muttered again. "Hai your child is really weak, he can't even smell this smell, how will he enter the mountain in the future."

Hai replied without hesitation. "I can fight a lot of beasts."

This is not right, Lang said seriously. "It's not a woman, what's the point of staying at home."

Hai didn't know how to answer, so he pursed his lips and said stubbornly. "I can fight a lot of beasts."

Lang stopped talking, and stretched out his hand to scratch his hair.

Hai looked outside silently, the sky gradually darkened, and soon he couldn't see clearly.He suddenly remembered something and said. "Lon. Let's go wash up."

He is leaving tomorrow, and when he is leaving, he is going to see the child and hug him.

"What to wash?" Lang didn't understand, and lay down on the stone bed. "We're leaving tomorrow, let's go to sleep." Keep your spirits up and be more vigilant on the road.

Seeing him like this, Hai went out by himself. "I'm going to wash."

"Wait for me." Lang jumped up and quickly followed out.

After leaving the tribe, there is a stream within a few steps. During the dry season, the stream becomes very small. Now it is the rainy season, and the stream becomes larger, like a small river.

After taking off the animal skin and throwing it on the ground not far away, Hai jumped into the water naked, remembering that the animal skin also smelled strong, and seeing Lang coming, he raised his voice and said. "Throw me the hide." Let's wash together.

Lang picked up the animal skin casually, threw it into the water, and jumped into the water himself.

It's been a few days since I washed it, and I rubbed my hair vigorously, and the two of them washed vigorously for a long time before getting up.

The two of them went back to the house wearing a wet animal skin that was still dripping, and replaced it with a dry animal skin. They didn't care if their hair was still dry, and lay on the bed directly, and fell asleep after a while.

When I opened my eyes the next day, the sky had just dawned, Hai got out of bed, excitedly left the house, and went to Lang's house.

There was movement around him, and Lang woke up immediately. He only came in time to see Hai's back. He muttered a few words with a smile, picked up the still wet animal skin and walked home.

"Sunny." Hai shouted, and walked into the room, staring at the small ball on the stone bed without blinking.

Qing saw it in his eyes and said with a smile. "The child slept well last night and didn't even wake up."

"Qing. Make broth and drink it. I'm hungry." Lang walked to Qing's side and threw the wet animal skin to her. "Last night, Hai and I went to wash in the water."

Qing hung up the hide, lit a fire and started cooking broth.

Seeing that his child was still sleeping, Lang reached out and pinched his face.Le woke up in a daze, looked at Father, turned over to hide away, and continued to sleep.

Hai glanced at Lang, fearing that his hands would itch and pinch the child's face, got up and moved a little farther away.

"I won't move him." With such an obvious movement, Lang muttered a few words.

This child looks different from other children, he has never seen a child as white as a child, he feels so weak at first sight, so he won't touch him, in case his hands are heavy or something...

The rich smell of meat wafted into Xia Jinming's nose, and he moved his mouth subconsciously in his sleep.Hai watched from the side, feeling soft in his heart.

Qing also saw it, took a sip of the broth, and said. "Should wake up soon."

Le looked at his bowl and asked in a childish voice. "Mother, brother wants to drink too?"

"Brother is young, you can't drink." Qing replied with a smile.

After hearing this, Le stopped talking, gulped down the broth in the bowl, and chewed the pieces of meat fragrantly.

As soon as Xia Jinming opened his eyes, he saw his parents. He subconsciously grinned, and stretched out his little paw to scratch Hai's chest.

He felt better today, with a little energy.

"Wake up." There was a smile in Hai's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were raised. He put aside the half-drinked broth, took a few female fruits, and fed them to the child.

I am hungry, it really is my own food and clothing parents.Xia Jinming smiled even more happily.

He was feeding his mother fruit by the sea while talking. "I'm going to visit the other three tribes and bring back some meat in exchange for something."

Xia Jinming blinked his eyes, indicating that he understood.

"I want to take you there. You are weaker now. You can go when the warm season comes." Hai said again.

Xia Jinming blinked again, indicating that he heard it.

Hai always felt that something was wrong, and felt a little stuffy in his heart. After feeding the mother fruit, he carried the child out of the house and wanted to go home, but remembered that the house was full of meat, and the smell was a bit strong, which the child didn't like.

If you don't go home, you have nowhere to go.Standing at the door of the house for a while, Hai returned to the house with the child in his arms.

He didn't put the child back on the stone bed until the child fell asleep again. At this time, the sun had already revealed half of his face, and it was time to set off.

Lang found Er and the others, and they went to Li's house together.A group of people took their things and left the Maoyuan tribe in a mighty way.

They returned twelve days later, halfway through the rainy season.Time is very tight. In the rest of the time, they have to enter the mountain twice to hunt certain wild animals. It is not easy to enter the mountain in the cold season. Not only are they afraid of the cold, but the beasts are also afraid of the cold and will find places to hide. hard to find.

With the situation last time, Hai was still a little scared. He didn't take the child with him when he went to the mountain these two times, and he still left it at Lang's house for Qing to take with him.

After the cold season, when the child grows up in the warm season, then take him into the mountains.

The first time he entered the mountain, he followed Li's team and entered the Daji Mountain, using the method the child told him, this time the harvest was very rich.Even if there are eleven people, everyone can get a lot of meat.

Hai also picked many kinds of ripe and sweet fruits, as well as many female fruits.He saw a lot of grass that children liked last time, and he also got a lot of it.

The second time was with Lang and the others. Hai said he wanted to enter the Daji Mountain. Lang and Er agreed, but the other four were a little reluctant. The cold season was coming. If something happened to them, the family members would Can't make it through this cold season.

Finally decided to go hunting in the nearby mountains.

Hai didn't say anything. Now that he has a child, he can understand the feelings of those four people.

After entering the mountain, he told him what the child told him. This trip into the mountain has also yielded a lot of rewards.

Even if you don't have enough to eat this cold season, you won't starve to death.

The food is ready, and the rest is firewood, and the firewood for someone in the family has already been prepared.

On a fine day, when he had nothing to do, he would go to the mountains with a woman he knew to collect firewood. The firewood was neatly piled up in the house, occupying one-fifth of the wooden house.

There was no one in Hai's family. After hunting, he had to go into the mountains to collect firewood. Lang accompanied him. The two moved quickly and with great strength. After two and a half days of work, the firewood was ready.

At this time, everyone felt that the cold season was coming, and the temperature dropped significantly.

The three of Hai, Lang, and Qing were even more busy, preparing wooden nails and animal skins, and nailing the animal skins to the walls of the wooden house to prevent the cold wind from entering the house.

The wooden houses here are very rough, with many gaps, some gaps are quite large, and they don’t need to be covered by animal skins. The cold wind is blowing outside, and the house is also blowing cold wind. It will freeze to death within a few days. .

During this period of time, I have gained a lot, and the family has saved a lot of animal skins. In addition to the previous ones, Hai decided to make two layers of animal skins next to the wall of the stone bed. The child slept inside, and he slept outside.

This was the first cold season he spent at home after Dad died.In the past two cold seasons, he stayed at Lang's house.

This is a very common situation. If a family is not capable enough, they will spend the cold season with familiar families, two families or even more people.

All the preparatory work has been done, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the daytime is a little better, and at night it will be covered with a thick layer of animal skin.

Hai returned home with the baby in his arms.On the same day, Lang returned with two tinders and gave one to Hai.

After more than a month of recuperation, Xia Jinming is alive and well again. He has been seven months old.

After not coming home for so long, he was a little surprised when he came back, especially the rows of meat hanging on the beams were so spectacular. At that moment, he gave birth to a feeling of his own It is the subtle mood of the landlord.

Hanging under the beams to dry for nearly a month, the meat has lost its smell.

Furthermore, Hai remembered Qing's words in his heart, he washed all the animal skins carefully, dried them in the sun, and tidied up the house.

There are two baskets hanging in the house, which he exchanged for last time, and there are some wild fruits in the baskets.

So, now in this room, not only is there no smell, but there is also some fruity fragrance.

Xia Jinming was very happy when he smelled it, and the way he smiled at the sea was brilliant.

Hai put the child on the stone bed and brought a basket full of fruits. He peeled one and put it near the child's mouth. "eat."

It is a kind of sweetness of glutinous rice flour, very delicate, Xia Jinming likes it very much, after eating one, he raised his face, smiled at the sea, grabbed one in the basket with his little paw, and stretched it out in front of the sea, which meant a lot obvious.

Hai smiled happily, took the fruit, peeled it and ate it seriously.

This fruit can be stored for a long time, so he picked more.

The two played around for a while, Xia Jinming yawned, fell on the warm and soft stone bed, and soon fell asleep.

Hai covered him with a thick layer of animal skin. Looking at the sky outside, it was a bit dark and gray.

He thought it would snow these days.When it snows, it means that the cold season is coming.

This time, he felt very at ease, as if his father was still there.

On the snowy day, the wind was very strong, and the sound of the wind was more terrifying than the sounds of wild animals in the mountains.

I don't know how big the hailstone was, and it fell on the roof with a crackling sound. Hearing this, Xia Jinming's heart trembled. He felt in a trance, and felt that the room was shaking.

It wasn't cold, but a big mountain bear skin wrapped him tightly, but the wrap was too thick, and his movements were completely hindered. He could only lie down, and it was difficult for him to turn over.

Thinking that he would have to live like this for the whole winter season, he felt very sad.It's so hard to live!

Thinking about it again, with his small body, he is a medical student, and he is very clear in his heart. He is weaker than ordinary children, and the environment here is so cruel...

If there is no special reason before the age of ten, he will probably have to lie in bed through the long cold season.

Damn, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!There is darkness ahead, it's serious!

Since he cannot adapt to the environment and the environment will not change because of him, then he can take the third path.

The big environment cannot be changed, but the small environment can always be transformed!
