Otherworldly Survival

Chapter 9 Thoughts

Hai took two pieces of wood, put them into the fire, and took a wooden stick to straighten the fire, and the fire suddenly became much bigger.

He clapped his hands, nestled into the stone bed, and held the child in his arms.

It is obvious that the child has become wilted since entering the cold season. He somehow understands something, but there is nothing he can do, and he is very helpless.

Children are too weak, if they are not wrapped in layers, they will be easily frozen.

Regardless of the animal skins hung in the room, he still felt that there was a cold wind coming into the room from all directions. He was a soldier, and there was a fire burning in the room, so the cold was nothing at all.

This cold season has just begun, and it will get colder and colder in the future, and there are still days to endure.

"Let's eat some fruit." Hai wanted the child to cheer up, and asked softly in his ear.

Xia Jinming turned sideways with great difficulty, looked towards the sea, blinked his eyes, and shook his head again.

He had some calculations in his mind, but it was so cold outside, it was freezing, it was hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Let's endure this cold season for the time being. After this cold season, he will be able to spit out word by word, and it will be easier to do things then.

"It would be nice to grow up a bit more." Hai's heart was stuffy, and his voice was also a little stuffy.

The food and clothing parents are not happy.Although Xia Jinming was not very interested, he thought that Hai's bad mood was all because of him, so he wanted to cheer him up and coax him.

Little claws protruded from the thick animal skin, grabbed Hai's index finger, held it tightly, burrowed into the animal skin, and grinned at him.

Hai's mood immediately changed from cloudy to sunny, and he was very happy, but he still pulled out his fingers and put the child's into the animal skin. "It's cold outside, don't take it out."

It was indeed cold, just for a while, Xia Jinming felt a cold wind seeping into the animal skin, and his small body shivered.

The weather is estimated to be nearly ten degrees below zero.Oh my god, the cold season has just begun, and it's only the fourth day. It's said that it will get colder in the future. I don't know how cold it will be.

Once again, I sigh, it is really not easy to live in such a cruel world.

"Don't move." Hai carefully tucked the animal skin.

Xia Jinming moved his little head, twisted his little neck, and nestled lazily in Hai's arms, staring at the burning fire in a daze.

"I have something to tell you. In the cold season, the tribe will form a team of 40 people to patrol around the tribe. One team guards for one day, and every [-] days." Hai fell silent after finishing speaking.

He originally thought that there was a lot of meat in the house, and he would give some meat to other soldiers to guard on his behalf, and he would stay at home and watch the children, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Unless there is no one in the family, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, they will take out a certain amount of meat and let the rest of the soldiers patrol for a day instead.

This behavior signifies weakness.

When Hai was ten years old, his father had just died. Even if he lived in the same room with Lang and the others during the cold season, he still patrolled with the team.

At that time, A Niang came to him and said that he should not be allowed to join the patrol, and she was willing to go instead of him.

Hai did not agree, Dad is a strong fighter, and so is he!

Going outside... Xia Jinming's eyes lit up.

Hai looked confused. "What are you happy about?" He likes children like this.

Damn it!Why can't he speak... Please light up the skills!

The hatred in Xia Jinming's heart, it's so cold, thinking of stretching out his two little paws to gesture, his small body trembled.

In order to live a little more comfortably in this winter season, Xiaoye worked hard today!

Prepared mentally, Xia Jinming stretched out his hands and made quick gestures.

First he pointed to the firewood piled in the corner of the house, and then made a tree-cutting motion. After finishing his body language, he immediately retracted his hands into the animal skin and looked at the sea eagerly.do you understand?

The animal skin is not dense enough, and the cold wind still seeps in, no wonder it is so cold.

Hai thought for a while, then tentatively said. "You want me to chop some more firewood?" He said again. "There is still firewood at home, it's okay to burn it first, there is no place to put it if there is too much."

I don't understand... Damn it, why does the tacit understanding always fail at critical moments!Don't play like this!

Xia Jinming suppressed his turbulent emotions, shook his head at Hai, and looked at him expectantly.

Think again, think again, he really didn't want to take his hands out of the warm animal skin, the temperature difference was too big, and he was a little worried about his small body.

"You want a tree?" After thinking about it again, Hai asked tentatively again.

Xia Jinming nodded.Yes, you need a tree.She continued to look at him expectantly.

Right here, let's continue to guess. "You want me to chop a tree and drag it home? Would you be useful?"

Xia Jinming nodded again and again, and the grin was brilliant.

"I can't let it go at home." Hai frowned, looking embarrassed.

The smile on Xia Jinming's face stopped abruptly.

"What do you want to do?" The child finally regained his energy. Hai didn't want him to be listless anymore, so he asked. If possible, he still wanted to do what the child said well.

What does he want to do.Xia Jinming looked at the fire not far away.

There is not even a chair in the house, the stone bed is a bit high, and it is a bit far away from the fire. The main reason is that I dropped the animal skin on the ground and it was ignited by the fire.

He was nestled on the stone bed wrapped in thick animal skins, and he couldn't even catch fire.

He thought, to make a small wooden sofa for one person, lower and closer to the fire. With this temperature, he would not need to be covered with three layers of inner and outer layers.

Now that his hands and feet are more flexible, he still wants to make some clothes, at least better than simply wrapping them in animal skins to keep him warm.

What to do, he has no idea for the time being, let's deal with the first one first.

But such a complicated matter, what method did he use to make Hai understand...

This is a big problem.

Xia Jinming frowned faintly, staring at the burning fire, thinking and thinking and thinking, when he saw the heavily damp ground from the corner of his eye, his thoughts flew away a little.

The ground is also a big problem. If we find a way to separate the ground, the room should be warmer.

Hey, the ground...has it.Xia Jinming looked at the sea with open eyes and a smile, then turned his eyes to the pile of firewood, then stretched out a hand, made a gesture of holding a pen, and drew twice in the air.

With such an obvious action, Hai understood it. He carried the child directly, walked to the firewood, and asked him to take it by himself.

Xia Jinming took a thin branch.

Seeing that he took it, Hai hugged him and squatted beside the fire.

Xia Jinming grasped the branches tightly and was eagerly preparing to draw, but he found out that his body was covered too thickly and his movements were seriously hindered...

Countless grass and mud horses galloped past in my heart.

Hai obviously noticed it too. He looked at the fire beside him. It should be no problem since it was so close.

Thinking of this in his heart, he carefully loosened the animal skin, rolled it up and held it in his arms.This is a mountain bear skin, and it will be over if it falls into the fire.

His body lost a layer, and he immediately became more relaxed. Xia Jinming felt that his breathing became much smoother, and he didn't feel cold with the fire burning beside him.

Sure enough, his idea is feasible!Thinking of this, he felt more urgent and excited.

After pondering in his heart for a while, he knew how to draw his thoughts in a simple and clear way, and then he held the branch tightly and started to do it.

For the time being, he only expressed one idea, to ask Hai to chop a big tree and come back to make a low wooden single sofa.

Hai looked at it for a while before he understood. "You asked me to cut down trees to make such a thing at home?"

What a strange thing, but he also saw it, this thing is very good, if it can be made...

His eyes lit up immediately.

Xia Jinming nodded, thinking that it would be impossible to drag a tree home, the space here is too small to fit it.

Then only...

After hesitating for a moment, he held the branch and continued to draw.

He drew an exploded view of the sofa. He thought very simply. This sofa does not require any complicated technology. From the current point of view, as long as it can bear the weight of two people, it is enough to simply build a shelf.

In this way, this sofa is easier.

After drawing the exploded diagram, Xia Jinming imitated making a wooden sofa in his mind, thinking about how many pieces of wood he would need, how long it would be, how thick it would be, and so on.

He thought about it carefully, pondered it over and over again, and felt that it was feasible, so he drew it on the ground again.

So and so and so and so.Hai had a vague idea in his mind, and he probably knew how to proceed.

If he hadn't seen Haizhi making wooden nails, Xia Jinming would never have thought of it. Besides, Haizhi still had a sharp knife in his hand. Although this wooden sofa is difficult, it is still possible to make it.

"I see." Seeing the child's flushed face, bright eyes, and such high energy, Hai felt happy. "When the day comes when I'm on patrol, I'll cut down trees."

Xia Jinming nodded his head like a chick peeling rice.

"Eat some fruit? Do you want mother fruit?" Hai felt a little hungry, so he asked the child.

Having said that, Xia Jinming also felt a little hungry, grinned, and smacked his mouth.

Hai threw away the branch in the child's hand, wrapped him up layer by layer with the animal skin that had just been loosened, carried him in his arms, took some female and wild fruits, went to sit on the stone bed, and fed him.

After feeding the child, he roasted a few meats for himself.

After eating and drinking enough, and thinking about the future, Xia Jinming lay on the bed, with the corners of his mouth raised, happily falling asleep.

Hai stayed quietly in front of the fire for a long time, added a few more pieces of wood, then climbed onto the stone bed, hugged the child, covered it with a thick layer of animal skin, and fell asleep after a while.

On the seventh day, someone came to inform Hai to gather in the square tomorrow for patrol.

After the people left, Hai quickly closed the door, quickly added firewood to the fire, the fire was much stronger, and the house was much warmer.

Xia Jinming took a quick glance outside just now, his scalp was really numb.

It has only been a few days, and a thick layer of snow has piled up outside. Looking at the person who stepped on it just now, it is estimated that it is more than two inches thick.

There was no snow on the front door of the house. It should be that Hai cleaned it up outside when he fell asleep.

"I'm going on patrol. I'll take you to Lang's house tomorrow morning, and I'll pick you up when I get back." Hai walked over and hugged the chubby child tightly.

How wonderful it would be for a child to grow up so strong.

Xia Jinming nodded with a smile on his face, and looked at the sea with bright eyes, as if talking.Remember what you said a few days ago.

With such a fierce gaze, so obvious, Hai couldn't help laughing, reached out and gently pinched the child's nose, and responded very seriously. "I know."

Xia Jinming was very happy in his heart, and he didn't care about Hai's little touches on him. He nestled in his arms obediently, looked at the roof, and smiled happily.

Unexpectedly, before Hai brought the child over, Lang came first.

"Hai. I'm going to patrol tomorrow. What about you?" Lang asked quickly as soon as he entered the room, leaning towards the fire.

For the distribution of this team, at present, they can't intervene, unless the force value increases, and they can squeeze into the top ten of the tribe, they can have the right to participate.

"Me too." Hai said, getting ready to continue.

Lang accepted the words. "Qing asked me to come and ask, and said that if we patrol together, she will come over with Le in a while and stay with you for a day."

Just after saying this, Hai guessed what Qing was thinking. "good."

"I'll go over and talk to her." With that said, Lang stood up and left the cabin in a hurry. When he went out, he didn't forget to close the door.

The next day, it was gray outside, and Hai woke up. He just got up when there was a knock on the door, and he opened the door.

Lang hugged Le, followed by Qing, and they both smiled at him.

"Come in." Hai hurriedly let them in, added a few pieces of firewood to the fire, and adjusted the fire. The fire soon became fierce, and the temperature in the room rose a little.

"You go, I will take care of the two children." Qing whispered.

Lang put Le, who was still sleeping, beside the child, and covered them with thick animal skins.

Hai and Lang didn't say much, they wrapped two thicker animal skins, and went out to the square.

On the day of the patrol, the tribe will take care of the food.
