Survive in the beast world
Chapter 65 Maturity and Setbacks
The three Appa gathered in Yang Appa's wooden house, and they sat cross-legged on the ground.Li Shizhen and Bai looked at each other, and finally Bai came to explain the whole situation clearly.One is that Bai is a person in the valley after all, so he is more familiar with the situation and has a clearer understanding of the deployment of various aspects. Second, Li Shizhen always feels that it is not appropriate for him to explain such an occasion.
Bai articulated clearly and his thinking was clear. He slowly talked about the possibility of the reduction of fir tree production and the heavy snow season, and then explained how he and Li Shizhen measured the area of the valley and estimated the production of pine fruit. According to the daily consumption of fir fruit in Li, the conclusion can only be supported for [-] days, which is well-founded.However, Bai finally added that it was still some time before the fir fruit picking, and the snow season outside had not really come yet, so there was still time for preparation, but not much.
The three Apas pondered for a while, and looked at each other. Chiapa took the lead and said: "In the past, when we were in the northern ice field, we waited until the snow began to fall there before moving back. I’m afraid, the snow season will come earlier.”
Qing Apa sighed: "It's not very peaceful in the east this year. I'm afraid something will happen, so I came back early." He smiled wryly, "It seems that I'm back early. However, the hunting team has been on the move recently, and the harvest is still there. It is possible. However, there are not many prey on the snowfield, and I am afraid that the hunting range is small and there is no harvest."
Yang Apa frowned slightly: "Oh, the snow season is long, and the pine fruit is less."
Qiapa and Qingapa looked at each other, then Qingapa said to Yangapa: "Qiapa and I each lead a team to hunt, so we can gain more, and the things in the valley will be discussed again. I will entrust it to you."
Bai seemed to be about to say something, but Chiapa waved his hand to stop him: "This hunting is different from the past. The place we go is far away. We will not bring anyone who has not gone through the ceremony. You, just stay and take good care of yourself." You em them."
Li Shizhen was secretly shocked when he heard that, why did the two Apas sound so pessimistic about this long-distance hunting?They didn't even take Eminem and the children who were about to grow up. They...are they going to fight for their lives?
The expressions on the faces of the two Appas were solemn, and there was absolutely no room for negotiation.
But Bai is not someone who can be easily persuaded: "Apa, I have already reached the time when I can pass the ceremony! I can hunt, take me!"
Chiapa was unmoved at all: "Bring you? How many times have you hunted in the snow field? If you haven't passed the ceremony, you haven't passed it. Don't talk about it!"
Bai still wanted to say something, but Qing Apa slapped him hard on the shoulder: "Stinky boy, if you hadn't left the valley by yourself, you would have passed the ceremony long ago, it's too late to say anything now, take good care of you They." Qing Apa suddenly squeezed Bai's shoulders with both hands, staring at Bai's eyes solemnly with amber eyes, and said in an unprecedented solemn tone: "Don't let us worry about Guli outside, Bai, you You've grown up already! Could it be that you can't even do such a little thing well?"
Bai smiled wryly, of course he knew that this was the love and affection of the two Appas, but he was not just like the ordinary brats, eager to prove himself, and of course he would not be provoked by this little bit of Appa. Moved by the law.
He really felt that joining the team of the two Apas would be more effective. Regarding his hunting skills, he dared to challenge the Tyrannosaurus in the south, so of course he was confident. stay in that year.
They're probably going to set off in a while, and he doesn't have time to prove to them that he is competent, and he can't disappoint the good intentions of the elders, let alone let them worry about the old and young in the valley when they go out. , he is duty bound.
Li Shizhen was a little nervous watching from the side, and he didn't miss Bai's expression and the expressions of the three Appas.The three Appas disagreed with Bai's going, but Bai was very stubborn and was not willing at first. Li Shizhen knew Bai's talent, he was very good at hunting, setting up ambushes, and fighting.However, Li Shizhen feels that what is more important in a team is the cooperation of the entire team, that is, the integration and utilization of overall resources.
The two Apa teams have been working together for many years and have a tacit understanding. It is in vain. Whether you can adopt his suggestion will be debatable for a while, and the tacit understanding of the entire team may need to be re-established. Where they go, Judging by the expressions of the two Apas, it is obviously not easy. A little problem may cause accidents. The risk of Bai joining is still too high.
Even if he and Bai had only cooperated with each other back then, it took a long time to get in touch with each other, and only then did they develop a tacit understanding.
Or maybe Li Shizhen didn't want to take the unknown danger in vain?He stretched out his hand to pull Bai's shirt, and Bai turned his head to look at Li Shizhen, and the last bit of wavering dissipated.
He turned around and said to the two Apas: "Apa, don't worry, I will help Yang Apa, you don't have to worry about the collection of fir fruit, we will do well. Be careful, pay attention to safety, whether there is prey is not the most important thing, and I and the eunuchs are looking forward to your safe return in the valley. When you come back, we can think of other ways."
Li Shizhen also nodded, no matter what, he will help Bai to deal with these duties here, not only because everyone in the valley treated him so well after saving him, this is also Bai's hometown, which is where they are currently. No matter what, in order to work together and brainstorm through this severe winter, he will do his best.
The hunting of the two Apas is one aspect, and there is more. Li Shitong felt that he and Bai had a discussion, and also needed to sort out whether there were other ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Maybe the two Apas just wanted to find an excuse to persuade Bai not to join the team at first, so they gave him a reason to assist Yang Apa, but it is clear that Bai and Li Shizhen both regard this as an important job Do.
The action plan of the last two teams has been determined. The two sides will act separately, and they will bring the most experienced hunters. Don’t put it bluntly, neither Yong nor Xiao can keep up with the team. The official statement is still the one. It's useless to say anything.
They set off that night, and Li Shizhen and Bai quickly demonstrated their execution ability. After asking the Amu about the things that the Amu needed to prepare, in addition to what the Amu had prepared, Li Shizhen and Bai discussed After that, I asked Yang Apa again. According to the emergency situation that may be encountered on the snow field, I prepared an emergency kit for each of the two Apas, which just made Amu sew into a bag, even if there is a sudden need to change The shape will not be lost.
With the departure of the two teams, the valley suddenly lost its backbone, leaving only a few old and weak females and a dozen young males who have not passed the ceremony. They are now the main labor force in the valley.
Regarding the work in the valley for a period of time to come, Li Shizhen made a long list, with two core ideas, how to increase revenue and how to reduce expenditure.
Open source is nothing more than those few: to ensure the normal harvest of fir fruit; to find other food sources.For the former, how to effectively use the human resources in the valley and how to ensure the timing of picking needs further work. For the latter, the valley is so warm, Li Shizhen believes that there are always things that can be planted or cultivated, but in this short period, there is no He wasn't particularly sure about the tried-and-tested operation.
As for throttling, Li Shizhen has his own understanding: In the cold season, in fact, most of the calories converted by the body from eating are consumed to resist the cold. If the surrounding is warm enough, the food needed will naturally reduce.
Of course, the most important thing is open source.It is very important to organize the normal harvest of fir berries and find new food sources.
Li Shizhen has seen the place where food is stored in the valley. It is a snow cave in the snow peak in the south. It is frozen all year round. It is a natural refrigerator. Food is stored in it, so it is no problem to spend the snow season.So there is no difficulty in preserving fir berries and other foods.The focus of Li Shizhen's work is still on open source.
And Bai noticed that the atmosphere in the valley is a little uneasy now. The leaders on both sides have no intention of keeping it secret, and the information is very open and transparent. Everyone knows that the heavy snow season is coming, and the number of pine trees is much less than last year. , the leaders on both sides took the most elite troops out to find food, and they didn't know if they could return safely.
Bai realized that in this situation, it is better to appease everyone's emotions and turn everyone's attention to work.On the other hand, the power in the valley is weak now, and it is before the snow season. At such a sensitive time, it is also necessary to strengthen security work.
This is like the prey encountered in hunting. Predators are always more inclined to kill prey that are more disturbed, because they will always be confused because of panic and easier to catch.On the other hand, to overcome this heavy snow season, the most important thing is to let everyone not panic, have confidence and order.
Li Shizhen discovered for the first time that this guy is also a very special kind of person in the crowd. He is naturally able to detect the undercurrents under calm things, is better at capturing the emotions of the crowd, and is better at influencing, controlling and even changing the situation. This kind of emotion, even the judgment he made with his beast-like intuition was quite accurate.
Or maybe it was the departure of the two Appas and their words before they left, whether it was an excuse or an entrustment, which made Bai grow a lot. At least now he is more willing to think about the problem from the perspective of the whole valley, not just thinking about him and him. Li Shizhen, and his relatives.That's why he can pay more attention to everyone's emotional changes.
Anyway, Li Shizhen, an engineering student, said that he has been thinking about how to arrange the collection and development of new food sources in his mind recently, and he really didn’t pay much attention to the situation in the valley, but Li Shizhen usually pays attention to what Bai said. This is indeed the case, and it is especially obvious among young people. From time to time, they can be seen discussing something anxiously, completely missing the cheerfulness and relaxation of measuring the area a while ago.
As for Bai's change, Li Shizhen felt that a man should at least have the courage to take responsibility. This change is also one of the signs of maturity.Real men have the courage to take responsibility and face difficulties, and it is precisely because of this that people around them feel reliable and convincing. Perhaps this is the real charm of men?Li Shizhen looked sideways at Bai who was thinking seriously, and had to admit that this guy was really handsome when he went all out.
Compared with Bai's keen insight, other young people in the valley who have not passed the test are more flustered. Old people like Yang Apa who have stayed in the valley seem to be used to wind and rain. What should they do? Research Recording, cooking, taking care of the cubs, and preparing clothes are all constant.
Blue Amuyuam, the females whose males went out to hunt, were a little sad when the team first left. These days, they have devoted themselves to work, cleaning the snow cave, tidying the warehouse, and preparing to pick fir fruits. , in short orderly.Perhaps it's not that they don't miss their loved ones, but they know how to handle everything when their loved ones are not around.
Therefore, Li Shizhen and Bai looked at each other, and the first thing to do is to calm down the young people's minds. They should be the main labor force in the work. When they are settled down, they can even inspire enthusiasm and devote themselves to work to have higher efficiency.
Regarding this matter, Bai and Li Shizhen discussed it, but these people are basically his childhood playmates, everyone's relationship is there, and his performance since he was a child naturally made everyone believe that he is a capable person. Speaking of which, it's not that difficult.
Bai's method is really simple, rude, direct and effective. He first called these people together, talked about recent events, and directly called someone by name, why did you lose your mind when you heard about the snow season? What's the big deal? Look at Apa You can do whatever you want, why are you not as good as an older person.Then collectively criticize, everyone’s performance is not very good recently, Apas handed over the responsibility to us, of course we can’t go on like this!We are now the backbone of the valley, and we should take on things even more.
Bai first gave some encouragement. Look, everyone, we expect to have so many pine nuts to harvest, but if we do well, we should be able to harvest more. Besides, besides pine nuts, can we have other possible sources of food, everyone? Think about it, talk it out and discuss it together.
The young people looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously they had never experienced such a scene, usually the elders were the ones who made decisions in the clan, and they really didn't have much chance to express their opinions.However, at this age, it is the time when the mind is the most active and the most susceptible to the surrounding atmosphere. The racial order of the wolf clan and the laziness and casualness of the tiger clan have been weakened unprecedentedly in them.
On the other hand, they are very familiar with each other, and there are no elders present. This matter is indeed very important. If I say it, I can show it among my peers. no difference.
Probably because of this, under the encouragement of Bai's organization, everyone immediately discussed in full swing.
Li Shizhen silently compared OK in his heart beside him. Of course, these people have never experienced it. This is called brainstorming in later generations. More active than ever.
Of course Li Shizhen himself has some ideas and ideas, but he is not as familiar with the snowfield environment as they are. It would be inefficient for him to ask and collect information one by one.In this kind of discussion, the thinking of young people is relatively open. They have grown up here since they were young. Under the exchange of information and the collision of ideas, there will always be some ideas. After Li Shizhen collects and organizes, Bai will naturally make up his mind How to guide.
And once a plan is discussed, it is a decision after everyone participates, and everyone is generally more involved in implementing it. Once there is something to do, most people's attention will be diverted, and naturally they will not think about things that make them uneasy.
As a result, Li Shizhen really heard a few interesting points of view.
For example, Yong, his own mother is responsible for picking the pine fruit every year. He has a lot of experience about when the pine fruit can be picked and how to pick it is better for preservation. Yong himself can speak clearly and logically. He nodded and added some comments.Li Shizhen also knew for the first time that improper picking would not only affect the fruit, but also affect the fir trees.
There are also females who escape their thinking. Aman said, seeing the birds and small animals in the valley picking fir fruits, can they be picked before they are eaten, and will they get more fruit? Fir fruit?
Everyone chatted and discussed, and Li Shizhen silently took notes on the sidelines, and finally handed it over to Bai Huihui, and everyone discussed the feasibility.
Li Shizhen thinks there are a few reliable ones, such as the problem of early picking mentioned by Aman. As far as he knows, if some fruits are picked in advance, the taste will be bad, but there will be no loss of nutrition and energy, and even Using certain means to accelerate ripening can indeed avoid the problem of animals and birds eating.
Regarding the experience and methods of picking mentioned by Yong, Li Shizhen thinks that pre-job training can be given to avoid losses in picking due to unskilledness.At least so far, there is no better idea about the scheduling, training, and increase in the picking of fir fruit.
Li Shizhen was thinking like this, but when he saw a female with a face who had something to say, it seemed to stop again?He was about to ask, but was interrupted by Bai Bai's question, and he didn't think about it until the end of the meeting.
At least at the end of this discussion, the young people's eyes are no longer blank, yes, other people in the valley are old and young, and they have to rely on them to support the overall situation, and tonight Shangbai summed up everyone's discussion and took Although the plans and plans are simple ideas, they are highly executable, and they are organized step by step, with clear thinking. Anyone can see the expected results after execution. .
First of all, the young males lined up in three shifts, with Bai, Xiao, and Yong respectively leading the team and patrolling around Taniguchi in turn. One was to pay attention to the weather outside and collect signals of the arrival of the snow season; the other was to eliminate all potential hidden dangers, especially in the Apa and the others are not there, the power in the valley is empty and the atmosphere outside is tense; the third is to see how soon Apa and his team come back. If they can help, it would be good to welcome them when the time comes.
Considering that everyone is in human form and cannot use voice to communicate from a distance like a beast, Li Shizhen distributed small whistles made of tree branches to everyone. In an emergency, whistles can travel farther than shouts, which is not easy. cause misunderstanding.
Then it was about picking training. Although there were already many skilled girls in the valley, the young man felt that he should do better. A Che, a careful female who had participated in picking in previous years, was in charge of this work.
Finally, it is about the feasibility of picking in advance. Bai directly handed it over to Aman and Li Shizhen. One of them came up with this idea, and the other seemed to be very interested in this idea, and they always had a way to think of unexpected things. .
Li Shizhen thinks that picking in advance can accelerate ripening in modern times, but it seems to be related to the type of fruit. For this feasibility issue, he thinks it is necessary to consult Yang Apa. After all, as an elder in the clan, he has experience Wisdom is richer.He discussed with Aman, and they both agreed to go to Yang Apa first. Aman seemed to have something troublesome to ask Ache, so the two discussed that Li Shizhen should go to Yang Apa first, and other things We will discuss it tomorrow.
And Bai also needs to communicate with Yang Appa and the two Eminem about the behavior of these young people.The two walked side by side to the big wooden house.
Silently, Li Shizhen felt a little puzzled when he thought of Yang Apa. In this whole incident, the confusion of young people and Bai's organization seemed to have no involvement at all. Knowledge is not believed.He seems to have completely let go of this matter to Bai, and Lan Amu and Yu Amu also tacitly did not interfere. It seems that everyone acquiesced to let the young people figure it out by themselves?
For some reason, Li Shizhen thought of the pterosaur cubs who were learning to fly next to the big waterfall. The big pterosaur would not take care of the cubs when they grew up to a certain age. No matter how much the cub yells and cries that he is hungry, he will not pay attention.The brave cub will know that it can't go on like this. It will actively explore and use its membrane wings to jump down from the high nest. In the end, only the timid and unwilling cubs are left in the nest. The big pterosaur will cry out helplessly With a sound, the cub was swept out of the nest.
It looks cruel, but it is actually a kind of helplessness, because one day the cubs will have to face the hardships and tribulations in life by themselves. It is better to let them face and hit the wall early when they can still be taught.
Are these frightened young people the same as those pterosaur cubs who are about to fly out of their lairs?The Apa Amum saw their uneasiness, but they didn't come forward to appease them, they just quietly watched how they would deal with it.Bai, it can be regarded as a preliminary satisfactory answer sheet.
Li Shixuan secretly speculated that if Bai didn't take the initiative to take this step, he wondered if Yang Apa would sweep the cubs out of the nest like the big pterosaur, forcing them to face difficulties by themselves?
Sure enough, Yang Apa had already sat cross-legged on the ground early, looking at them with a smile, as if he knew they would come.
Li Shizhen and Bai looked at each other, Bai also sat down with a smile, Li Shizhen nodded slightly and sat down next to Bai.
Baixian slowly explained the results of everyone's discussion tonight, and then looked at Yang Apa: "This is probably what we want to do, see if there is anything wrong?"
Yang Apa nodded with satisfaction: "It's pretty good to think of this, go tell your mothers, they will support you, do it boldly, children, we are behind you."
There seemed to be something in those kind eyes that shocked Li Shizhen. It was a determination to go all out to protect something. However, the warmth and kindness in these kind eyes almost made Li Shizhen feel that he just Judgment is an illusion.
Bai looked helplessly at Li Shizhen in a daze, pushed him lightly, and then said softly: "I'm going to find Eminem first, you can continue talking with Yang Apa, and see you later."
Li Shizhen nodded, turned his head, and Yang Apa resumed his usual warm smile: "What? It's about picking in advance?"
Li Shizhen hesitated, but said directly: "Yes, some fruits in my hometown can be picked in advance, and some can't. Have you tried this pine fruit before?"
Yang Apa smiled and said: "You guys, don't you know if you try it yourself?" After finishing speaking, Yang Apa blinked mischievously.
Li Shixuan: ...
He once strongly doubted how it was possible to teach a tiger with a black belly and sometimes narrow minds like Chiapa, who was so serious and Qingapa was so forthright, now, he felt as if he had found the answer.
Tucao belongs to Tucao, but what should be asked is: "Is there any food in the valley that grows faster and can satisfy hunger? Or small animals that grow faster?"
As a person who has just arrived in the valley, he really doesn't understand these things at all. Even if he knows that planting and breeding can provide food more stably, how can he know what species to plant and what species to breed.
Yang Apa didn't know Li Shizhen's intentions, but seeing his solemn expression, Yang Apa began to introduce the edible animals and plants in the valley in detail.
After listening, Li Shizhen sighed silently. Even though he knew that planting and breeding could not be accomplished overnight, Li Shizhen still felt very disappointed.Even in the valley where the seasons are like spring, these plants still follow the law of growth. There are no Shenmu vegetables that grow once a month. Even those vegetables that are often eaten will be eaten during the snow season, and will only be eaten in the next year. Germinate and grow again.No one in the valley would collect those seeds, and let them fall and grow by themselves.
As for the animals, these animals have sex, mate, and give birth in the spring. Even if they can speed up their reproduction through feeding, how many generations will it take to feed so many people in the valley?
At this moment, even if Miss Brachiosaurus was by his side, even if he had collected so many seeds that could be planted at that time, not to mention that he could not dissolve the near fire, even if he had those seeds in his hand, would he have time to plant the harvest?
Moreover, those excellent species planted and bred in human history have been selected and bred for tens of thousands of years. What kind of luck can Li Shizhen encounter such an excellent species, which has a short cycle, easy survival and high yield? Even if all these are satisfied, where can he get so many seeds, or the first generation of animals?
Time, or a matter of time!
As for other edible animals and plants that have not been found in the valley, Li Shizhen smiled bitterly in silence. The white tiger group has lived here for so many generations, how many snow seasons have been experienced, how many famines have occurred, and even the edible pine fruit Sex is also explored at the risk of life, how can it be unclear about the edibility of everything in the valley.
Li Shizhen bid farewell to Yang Apa and came out. Instead of returning directly to his place of residence, he climbed skillfully to a fir tree and picked the largest one, which was slightly green and about to ripen. The size of a ping pong ball, it is already one of the largest on this fruit tree.
He took a deep breath, went to the stone house in the north of the valley again, and asked the cook Amu for a ripe fir fruit picked last year.
When he returned to the stone house, Bai probably had to explain to the two aunties one by one, or maybe the amu had something to say to him, but he still didn't come back. Li Shizhen silently put on a bright torch, took out his own swiss army knife.
He silently observed the two fruits. First of all, one was brown and the other was blue, but they were about the same size.It's a pity that this is not something to be happy about, because the old fruit has shriveled up, and picking it in advance obviously has an impact on the yield in terms of size.
Li Shizhen opened the outer skin of the green fruit and removed the outer layer of pulp. There was a large hard shell inside. The skin of the old fruit was easier to peel. Once the thin outer skin was torn off, it became the shell.Seeing the comparison of the two shells, Li Shizhen wiped his face. One was still the size of a ping-pong ball, but the other had shrunk quite a bit.
The shell was a bit hard and couldn't be opened for a while. Li Shizhen was a little impatient. He rushed out of the stone house and grabbed a stone. He smashed open two shells. One was light in color and light in weight. It shattered, and the other was heavy in color and heavy in weight, and had to be smashed hard to break apart.
The chestnut-like round pulp inside the light shell was shriveled. Li Shizheng broke it off and chewed it, and it was delicious and crispy; the other one seemed to be full of flesh, but it was still about the same size as the shriveled fruit. After chewing, it was astringent and watery. Much, like chewing wood residue.
Li Shizhen lowered his eyes and silently picked up the debris on the ground.
Obviously, the difference between ripe fruit and immature fruit is not only the yield, but also the oil content. The oil content affects the heat and drinking sensation provided by the fruit.
After such a long time, Li Shizhen once again felt a kind of helpless frustration.All along, he felt that with hard work, diligence and careful thinking, he could always find a solution.But this time, he felt a little powerless, and he didn't have time to make those preparations.
All of a sudden, great frustration and annoyance flooded the sky.
When Bai came back, he saw Li Shizhen sitting on the edge of the bed in a low mood, instead of flipping his leaf book as usual, but hanging his head in a daze?
"What's wrong?" He gently put his hand on Li Shizhen's shoulder, did Yang Apa say something to him?But with Yang Apa's character, it is absolutely impossible to say, could it be that the female in front of her is sensitive to something?
"I can't help it." After a while, Li Shizhen said in a low voice.
Bai was a little confused for a moment: "What can't be done?"
"I have no way to find new food, no way to plant and breed, and no way to pick more fir fruits." Li Shizhen said in a low voice with his head down.
Although he didn't fully understand Li Shizhen's words, Bai still understood what he meant and couldn't help laughing. The female in front of him seemed to be more like a female who had not gone through the ritual now.
Although I can't bear to see him frustrated, but I think he is so cute like this.Bai couldn't help but sit beside Li Shizhen, hugged him, stroked his hair lightly and said, "Fool, this is a matter for the whole clan. How can you work hard alone? There is nothing the whole clan can do." They're all trying to figure it out."
Li Shizhen buried his head on Bai's shoulder sullenly, and refused to make a sound.
Bai said slowly: "I've already told Eminem, and they all support us to do it. I'm going to let them go a little farther away when patrolling, and also check if there are any prey or other food."
"Amu and the others also told me that they will help train us for this year's picking, and try to pick more. In addition, I also told Amu about your method for those fresh vegetables. Let's dry them and see if we can save more , some of them were frozen in the snow peak before.”
"Although some of the fish in the lake are inedible, they died in previous years because people ate them by mistake, so Yangappa didn't let everyone move them. But this year's situation is special. Let's see if we can identify the inedible fish and try to save more. some fish."
"You see, we still have many, many other ways."
"Ah Chao, don't push yourself too hard, this is a matter for the whole clan, not you alone."
Li Shizhen calmed down slowly in his warm embrace, and began to reflect silently. What he said was right. It is obviously a matter for the whole family. Everyone is working hard. Why is he suddenly so eager? Calm and orderly.
And I seem to be on the edge of a dead end, picking so early in advance can't be done, how about a little later?As long as it is earlier than those small animals and birds, if it is not possible, there are other ways, such as scarecrows or something to intimidate those animals so that they cannot be picked. If it is not possible, they can be hunted. Although this is really cruel, but In a desperate situation, it is really life and death.Unless it is absolutely necessary, Li Shizhen will never come up with such an idea that hurts the harmony of nature.
Planting and breeding cannot feed so many people, but it can relieve a little pressure. In the long run, this is an inevitable process. It is also a good thing to start to explore experience now. He can explore and screen the species that Yang Apa mentioned. one time.
Bai and the others went out hunting without using the animal form. He and Bai could see if they could provide some weapons to the young hunters.
Bai also mentioned the lake, and Li Shizhen smiled wryly. He walked into some dead end to forget such a big lake.Some fish are poisonous, but everyone drinks the water, which is non-toxic.There are not only fish, shrimps and crabs in the water, even some aquatic plants are edible, so many things, how could he forget all about them when he was trying to find a solution!What is it that makes him so urgent and not calm?
Suddenly, he thought of Yang Apa's determined eyes, which contained too many ominous meanings.When he came to this valley, Li Shizhen regarded Yang Apa as his mentor. Putting into the symbolic system, Li Shizhen felt that this old man was like a gentleman, with a high mountain and a long river.Yang Apa really has the demeanor of an ancient sage.
He has been separated from so many relatives and friends, and he really doesn't want to say goodbye to this otherworldly teacher.It was also because of this intuition in his subconscious that he was so eager to find a solution, and he was so frustrated and annoyed when he had nothing to do.
He pushed Bai away and said, "Tell me, does Yang Apa have any bad plans?"
Bai was a little helpless about the ignorance of the people in front of him, but he recalled carefully: "I didn't find it, but," he pondered for a while, "I will pay attention."
Li Shizhen finally let go of one of his worries a little bit, it has never been his style to retreat when he is frustrated.Taking out the leaf book, I began to list a dozen or so plans about picking, planting, lakes, weapons, and keeping warm.
Although Bai felt a little regretful about that too-short hug, he felt unspeakably happy when he saw Li Shizhen who had regained his energy. It turned out that not only Ah Chao was sharing heavy responsibilities for him, but he could also share something for him. .No matter how long the snow season is, Bai always believes that everything will be fine.
Bai articulated clearly and his thinking was clear. He slowly talked about the possibility of the reduction of fir tree production and the heavy snow season, and then explained how he and Li Shizhen measured the area of the valley and estimated the production of pine fruit. According to the daily consumption of fir fruit in Li, the conclusion can only be supported for [-] days, which is well-founded.However, Bai finally added that it was still some time before the fir fruit picking, and the snow season outside had not really come yet, so there was still time for preparation, but not much.
The three Apas pondered for a while, and looked at each other. Chiapa took the lead and said: "In the past, when we were in the northern ice field, we waited until the snow began to fall there before moving back. I’m afraid, the snow season will come earlier.”
Qing Apa sighed: "It's not very peaceful in the east this year. I'm afraid something will happen, so I came back early." He smiled wryly, "It seems that I'm back early. However, the hunting team has been on the move recently, and the harvest is still there. It is possible. However, there are not many prey on the snowfield, and I am afraid that the hunting range is small and there is no harvest."
Yang Apa frowned slightly: "Oh, the snow season is long, and the pine fruit is less."
Qiapa and Qingapa looked at each other, then Qingapa said to Yangapa: "Qiapa and I each lead a team to hunt, so we can gain more, and the things in the valley will be discussed again. I will entrust it to you."
Bai seemed to be about to say something, but Chiapa waved his hand to stop him: "This hunting is different from the past. The place we go is far away. We will not bring anyone who has not gone through the ceremony. You, just stay and take good care of yourself." You em them."
Li Shizhen was secretly shocked when he heard that, why did the two Apas sound so pessimistic about this long-distance hunting?They didn't even take Eminem and the children who were about to grow up. They...are they going to fight for their lives?
The expressions on the faces of the two Appas were solemn, and there was absolutely no room for negotiation.
But Bai is not someone who can be easily persuaded: "Apa, I have already reached the time when I can pass the ceremony! I can hunt, take me!"
Chiapa was unmoved at all: "Bring you? How many times have you hunted in the snow field? If you haven't passed the ceremony, you haven't passed it. Don't talk about it!"
Bai still wanted to say something, but Qing Apa slapped him hard on the shoulder: "Stinky boy, if you hadn't left the valley by yourself, you would have passed the ceremony long ago, it's too late to say anything now, take good care of you They." Qing Apa suddenly squeezed Bai's shoulders with both hands, staring at Bai's eyes solemnly with amber eyes, and said in an unprecedented solemn tone: "Don't let us worry about Guli outside, Bai, you You've grown up already! Could it be that you can't even do such a little thing well?"
Bai smiled wryly, of course he knew that this was the love and affection of the two Appas, but he was not just like the ordinary brats, eager to prove himself, and of course he would not be provoked by this little bit of Appa. Moved by the law.
He really felt that joining the team of the two Apas would be more effective. Regarding his hunting skills, he dared to challenge the Tyrannosaurus in the south, so of course he was confident. stay in that year.
They're probably going to set off in a while, and he doesn't have time to prove to them that he is competent, and he can't disappoint the good intentions of the elders, let alone let them worry about the old and young in the valley when they go out. , he is duty bound.
Li Shizhen was a little nervous watching from the side, and he didn't miss Bai's expression and the expressions of the three Appas.The three Appas disagreed with Bai's going, but Bai was very stubborn and was not willing at first. Li Shizhen knew Bai's talent, he was very good at hunting, setting up ambushes, and fighting.However, Li Shizhen feels that what is more important in a team is the cooperation of the entire team, that is, the integration and utilization of overall resources.
The two Apa teams have been working together for many years and have a tacit understanding. It is in vain. Whether you can adopt his suggestion will be debatable for a while, and the tacit understanding of the entire team may need to be re-established. Where they go, Judging by the expressions of the two Apas, it is obviously not easy. A little problem may cause accidents. The risk of Bai joining is still too high.
Even if he and Bai had only cooperated with each other back then, it took a long time to get in touch with each other, and only then did they develop a tacit understanding.
Or maybe Li Shizhen didn't want to take the unknown danger in vain?He stretched out his hand to pull Bai's shirt, and Bai turned his head to look at Li Shizhen, and the last bit of wavering dissipated.
He turned around and said to the two Apas: "Apa, don't worry, I will help Yang Apa, you don't have to worry about the collection of fir fruit, we will do well. Be careful, pay attention to safety, whether there is prey is not the most important thing, and I and the eunuchs are looking forward to your safe return in the valley. When you come back, we can think of other ways."
Li Shizhen also nodded, no matter what, he will help Bai to deal with these duties here, not only because everyone in the valley treated him so well after saving him, this is also Bai's hometown, which is where they are currently. No matter what, in order to work together and brainstorm through this severe winter, he will do his best.
The hunting of the two Apas is one aspect, and there is more. Li Shitong felt that he and Bai had a discussion, and also needed to sort out whether there were other ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Maybe the two Apas just wanted to find an excuse to persuade Bai not to join the team at first, so they gave him a reason to assist Yang Apa, but it is clear that Bai and Li Shizhen both regard this as an important job Do.
The action plan of the last two teams has been determined. The two sides will act separately, and they will bring the most experienced hunters. Don’t put it bluntly, neither Yong nor Xiao can keep up with the team. The official statement is still the one. It's useless to say anything.
They set off that night, and Li Shizhen and Bai quickly demonstrated their execution ability. After asking the Amu about the things that the Amu needed to prepare, in addition to what the Amu had prepared, Li Shizhen and Bai discussed After that, I asked Yang Apa again. According to the emergency situation that may be encountered on the snow field, I prepared an emergency kit for each of the two Apas, which just made Amu sew into a bag, even if there is a sudden need to change The shape will not be lost.
With the departure of the two teams, the valley suddenly lost its backbone, leaving only a few old and weak females and a dozen young males who have not passed the ceremony. They are now the main labor force in the valley.
Regarding the work in the valley for a period of time to come, Li Shizhen made a long list, with two core ideas, how to increase revenue and how to reduce expenditure.
Open source is nothing more than those few: to ensure the normal harvest of fir fruit; to find other food sources.For the former, how to effectively use the human resources in the valley and how to ensure the timing of picking needs further work. For the latter, the valley is so warm, Li Shizhen believes that there are always things that can be planted or cultivated, but in this short period, there is no He wasn't particularly sure about the tried-and-tested operation.
As for throttling, Li Shizhen has his own understanding: In the cold season, in fact, most of the calories converted by the body from eating are consumed to resist the cold. If the surrounding is warm enough, the food needed will naturally reduce.
Of course, the most important thing is open source.It is very important to organize the normal harvest of fir berries and find new food sources.
Li Shizhen has seen the place where food is stored in the valley. It is a snow cave in the snow peak in the south. It is frozen all year round. It is a natural refrigerator. Food is stored in it, so it is no problem to spend the snow season.So there is no difficulty in preserving fir berries and other foods.The focus of Li Shizhen's work is still on open source.
And Bai noticed that the atmosphere in the valley is a little uneasy now. The leaders on both sides have no intention of keeping it secret, and the information is very open and transparent. Everyone knows that the heavy snow season is coming, and the number of pine trees is much less than last year. , the leaders on both sides took the most elite troops out to find food, and they didn't know if they could return safely.
Bai realized that in this situation, it is better to appease everyone's emotions and turn everyone's attention to work.On the other hand, the power in the valley is weak now, and it is before the snow season. At such a sensitive time, it is also necessary to strengthen security work.
This is like the prey encountered in hunting. Predators are always more inclined to kill prey that are more disturbed, because they will always be confused because of panic and easier to catch.On the other hand, to overcome this heavy snow season, the most important thing is to let everyone not panic, have confidence and order.
Li Shizhen discovered for the first time that this guy is also a very special kind of person in the crowd. He is naturally able to detect the undercurrents under calm things, is better at capturing the emotions of the crowd, and is better at influencing, controlling and even changing the situation. This kind of emotion, even the judgment he made with his beast-like intuition was quite accurate.
Or maybe it was the departure of the two Appas and their words before they left, whether it was an excuse or an entrustment, which made Bai grow a lot. At least now he is more willing to think about the problem from the perspective of the whole valley, not just thinking about him and him. Li Shizhen, and his relatives.That's why he can pay more attention to everyone's emotional changes.
Anyway, Li Shizhen, an engineering student, said that he has been thinking about how to arrange the collection and development of new food sources in his mind recently, and he really didn’t pay much attention to the situation in the valley, but Li Shizhen usually pays attention to what Bai said. This is indeed the case, and it is especially obvious among young people. From time to time, they can be seen discussing something anxiously, completely missing the cheerfulness and relaxation of measuring the area a while ago.
As for Bai's change, Li Shizhen felt that a man should at least have the courage to take responsibility. This change is also one of the signs of maturity.Real men have the courage to take responsibility and face difficulties, and it is precisely because of this that people around them feel reliable and convincing. Perhaps this is the real charm of men?Li Shizhen looked sideways at Bai who was thinking seriously, and had to admit that this guy was really handsome when he went all out.
Compared with Bai's keen insight, other young people in the valley who have not passed the test are more flustered. Old people like Yang Apa who have stayed in the valley seem to be used to wind and rain. What should they do? Research Recording, cooking, taking care of the cubs, and preparing clothes are all constant.
Blue Amuyuam, the females whose males went out to hunt, were a little sad when the team first left. These days, they have devoted themselves to work, cleaning the snow cave, tidying the warehouse, and preparing to pick fir fruits. , in short orderly.Perhaps it's not that they don't miss their loved ones, but they know how to handle everything when their loved ones are not around.
Therefore, Li Shizhen and Bai looked at each other, and the first thing to do is to calm down the young people's minds. They should be the main labor force in the work. When they are settled down, they can even inspire enthusiasm and devote themselves to work to have higher efficiency.
Regarding this matter, Bai and Li Shizhen discussed it, but these people are basically his childhood playmates, everyone's relationship is there, and his performance since he was a child naturally made everyone believe that he is a capable person. Speaking of which, it's not that difficult.
Bai's method is really simple, rude, direct and effective. He first called these people together, talked about recent events, and directly called someone by name, why did you lose your mind when you heard about the snow season? What's the big deal? Look at Apa You can do whatever you want, why are you not as good as an older person.Then collectively criticize, everyone’s performance is not very good recently, Apas handed over the responsibility to us, of course we can’t go on like this!We are now the backbone of the valley, and we should take on things even more.
Bai first gave some encouragement. Look, everyone, we expect to have so many pine nuts to harvest, but if we do well, we should be able to harvest more. Besides, besides pine nuts, can we have other possible sources of food, everyone? Think about it, talk it out and discuss it together.
The young people looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously they had never experienced such a scene, usually the elders were the ones who made decisions in the clan, and they really didn't have much chance to express their opinions.However, at this age, it is the time when the mind is the most active and the most susceptible to the surrounding atmosphere. The racial order of the wolf clan and the laziness and casualness of the tiger clan have been weakened unprecedentedly in them.
On the other hand, they are very familiar with each other, and there are no elders present. This matter is indeed very important. If I say it, I can show it among my peers. no difference.
Probably because of this, under the encouragement of Bai's organization, everyone immediately discussed in full swing.
Li Shizhen silently compared OK in his heart beside him. Of course, these people have never experienced it. This is called brainstorming in later generations. More active than ever.
Of course Li Shizhen himself has some ideas and ideas, but he is not as familiar with the snowfield environment as they are. It would be inefficient for him to ask and collect information one by one.In this kind of discussion, the thinking of young people is relatively open. They have grown up here since they were young. Under the exchange of information and the collision of ideas, there will always be some ideas. After Li Shizhen collects and organizes, Bai will naturally make up his mind How to guide.
And once a plan is discussed, it is a decision after everyone participates, and everyone is generally more involved in implementing it. Once there is something to do, most people's attention will be diverted, and naturally they will not think about things that make them uneasy.
As a result, Li Shizhen really heard a few interesting points of view.
For example, Yong, his own mother is responsible for picking the pine fruit every year. He has a lot of experience about when the pine fruit can be picked and how to pick it is better for preservation. Yong himself can speak clearly and logically. He nodded and added some comments.Li Shizhen also knew for the first time that improper picking would not only affect the fruit, but also affect the fir trees.
There are also females who escape their thinking. Aman said, seeing the birds and small animals in the valley picking fir fruits, can they be picked before they are eaten, and will they get more fruit? Fir fruit?
Everyone chatted and discussed, and Li Shizhen silently took notes on the sidelines, and finally handed it over to Bai Huihui, and everyone discussed the feasibility.
Li Shizhen thinks there are a few reliable ones, such as the problem of early picking mentioned by Aman. As far as he knows, if some fruits are picked in advance, the taste will be bad, but there will be no loss of nutrition and energy, and even Using certain means to accelerate ripening can indeed avoid the problem of animals and birds eating.
Regarding the experience and methods of picking mentioned by Yong, Li Shizhen thinks that pre-job training can be given to avoid losses in picking due to unskilledness.At least so far, there is no better idea about the scheduling, training, and increase in the picking of fir fruit.
Li Shizhen was thinking like this, but when he saw a female with a face who had something to say, it seemed to stop again?He was about to ask, but was interrupted by Bai Bai's question, and he didn't think about it until the end of the meeting.
At least at the end of this discussion, the young people's eyes are no longer blank, yes, other people in the valley are old and young, and they have to rely on them to support the overall situation, and tonight Shangbai summed up everyone's discussion and took Although the plans and plans are simple ideas, they are highly executable, and they are organized step by step, with clear thinking. Anyone can see the expected results after execution. .
First of all, the young males lined up in three shifts, with Bai, Xiao, and Yong respectively leading the team and patrolling around Taniguchi in turn. One was to pay attention to the weather outside and collect signals of the arrival of the snow season; the other was to eliminate all potential hidden dangers, especially in the Apa and the others are not there, the power in the valley is empty and the atmosphere outside is tense; the third is to see how soon Apa and his team come back. If they can help, it would be good to welcome them when the time comes.
Considering that everyone is in human form and cannot use voice to communicate from a distance like a beast, Li Shizhen distributed small whistles made of tree branches to everyone. In an emergency, whistles can travel farther than shouts, which is not easy. cause misunderstanding.
Then it was about picking training. Although there were already many skilled girls in the valley, the young man felt that he should do better. A Che, a careful female who had participated in picking in previous years, was in charge of this work.
Finally, it is about the feasibility of picking in advance. Bai directly handed it over to Aman and Li Shizhen. One of them came up with this idea, and the other seemed to be very interested in this idea, and they always had a way to think of unexpected things. .
Li Shizhen thinks that picking in advance can accelerate ripening in modern times, but it seems to be related to the type of fruit. For this feasibility issue, he thinks it is necessary to consult Yang Apa. After all, as an elder in the clan, he has experience Wisdom is richer.He discussed with Aman, and they both agreed to go to Yang Apa first. Aman seemed to have something troublesome to ask Ache, so the two discussed that Li Shizhen should go to Yang Apa first, and other things We will discuss it tomorrow.
And Bai also needs to communicate with Yang Appa and the two Eminem about the behavior of these young people.The two walked side by side to the big wooden house.
Silently, Li Shizhen felt a little puzzled when he thought of Yang Apa. In this whole incident, the confusion of young people and Bai's organization seemed to have no involvement at all. Knowledge is not believed.He seems to have completely let go of this matter to Bai, and Lan Amu and Yu Amu also tacitly did not interfere. It seems that everyone acquiesced to let the young people figure it out by themselves?
For some reason, Li Shizhen thought of the pterosaur cubs who were learning to fly next to the big waterfall. The big pterosaur would not take care of the cubs when they grew up to a certain age. No matter how much the cub yells and cries that he is hungry, he will not pay attention.The brave cub will know that it can't go on like this. It will actively explore and use its membrane wings to jump down from the high nest. In the end, only the timid and unwilling cubs are left in the nest. The big pterosaur will cry out helplessly With a sound, the cub was swept out of the nest.
It looks cruel, but it is actually a kind of helplessness, because one day the cubs will have to face the hardships and tribulations in life by themselves. It is better to let them face and hit the wall early when they can still be taught.
Are these frightened young people the same as those pterosaur cubs who are about to fly out of their lairs?The Apa Amum saw their uneasiness, but they didn't come forward to appease them, they just quietly watched how they would deal with it.Bai, it can be regarded as a preliminary satisfactory answer sheet.
Li Shixuan secretly speculated that if Bai didn't take the initiative to take this step, he wondered if Yang Apa would sweep the cubs out of the nest like the big pterosaur, forcing them to face difficulties by themselves?
Sure enough, Yang Apa had already sat cross-legged on the ground early, looking at them with a smile, as if he knew they would come.
Li Shizhen and Bai looked at each other, Bai also sat down with a smile, Li Shizhen nodded slightly and sat down next to Bai.
Baixian slowly explained the results of everyone's discussion tonight, and then looked at Yang Apa: "This is probably what we want to do, see if there is anything wrong?"
Yang Apa nodded with satisfaction: "It's pretty good to think of this, go tell your mothers, they will support you, do it boldly, children, we are behind you."
There seemed to be something in those kind eyes that shocked Li Shizhen. It was a determination to go all out to protect something. However, the warmth and kindness in these kind eyes almost made Li Shizhen feel that he just Judgment is an illusion.
Bai looked helplessly at Li Shizhen in a daze, pushed him lightly, and then said softly: "I'm going to find Eminem first, you can continue talking with Yang Apa, and see you later."
Li Shizhen nodded, turned his head, and Yang Apa resumed his usual warm smile: "What? It's about picking in advance?"
Li Shizhen hesitated, but said directly: "Yes, some fruits in my hometown can be picked in advance, and some can't. Have you tried this pine fruit before?"
Yang Apa smiled and said: "You guys, don't you know if you try it yourself?" After finishing speaking, Yang Apa blinked mischievously.
Li Shixuan: ...
He once strongly doubted how it was possible to teach a tiger with a black belly and sometimes narrow minds like Chiapa, who was so serious and Qingapa was so forthright, now, he felt as if he had found the answer.
Tucao belongs to Tucao, but what should be asked is: "Is there any food in the valley that grows faster and can satisfy hunger? Or small animals that grow faster?"
As a person who has just arrived in the valley, he really doesn't understand these things at all. Even if he knows that planting and breeding can provide food more stably, how can he know what species to plant and what species to breed.
Yang Apa didn't know Li Shizhen's intentions, but seeing his solemn expression, Yang Apa began to introduce the edible animals and plants in the valley in detail.
After listening, Li Shizhen sighed silently. Even though he knew that planting and breeding could not be accomplished overnight, Li Shizhen still felt very disappointed.Even in the valley where the seasons are like spring, these plants still follow the law of growth. There are no Shenmu vegetables that grow once a month. Even those vegetables that are often eaten will be eaten during the snow season, and will only be eaten in the next year. Germinate and grow again.No one in the valley would collect those seeds, and let them fall and grow by themselves.
As for the animals, these animals have sex, mate, and give birth in the spring. Even if they can speed up their reproduction through feeding, how many generations will it take to feed so many people in the valley?
At this moment, even if Miss Brachiosaurus was by his side, even if he had collected so many seeds that could be planted at that time, not to mention that he could not dissolve the near fire, even if he had those seeds in his hand, would he have time to plant the harvest?
Moreover, those excellent species planted and bred in human history have been selected and bred for tens of thousands of years. What kind of luck can Li Shizhen encounter such an excellent species, which has a short cycle, easy survival and high yield? Even if all these are satisfied, where can he get so many seeds, or the first generation of animals?
Time, or a matter of time!
As for other edible animals and plants that have not been found in the valley, Li Shizhen smiled bitterly in silence. The white tiger group has lived here for so many generations, how many snow seasons have been experienced, how many famines have occurred, and even the edible pine fruit Sex is also explored at the risk of life, how can it be unclear about the edibility of everything in the valley.
Li Shizhen bid farewell to Yang Apa and came out. Instead of returning directly to his place of residence, he climbed skillfully to a fir tree and picked the largest one, which was slightly green and about to ripen. The size of a ping pong ball, it is already one of the largest on this fruit tree.
He took a deep breath, went to the stone house in the north of the valley again, and asked the cook Amu for a ripe fir fruit picked last year.
When he returned to the stone house, Bai probably had to explain to the two aunties one by one, or maybe the amu had something to say to him, but he still didn't come back. Li Shizhen silently put on a bright torch, took out his own swiss army knife.
He silently observed the two fruits. First of all, one was brown and the other was blue, but they were about the same size.It's a pity that this is not something to be happy about, because the old fruit has shriveled up, and picking it in advance obviously has an impact on the yield in terms of size.
Li Shizhen opened the outer skin of the green fruit and removed the outer layer of pulp. There was a large hard shell inside. The skin of the old fruit was easier to peel. Once the thin outer skin was torn off, it became the shell.Seeing the comparison of the two shells, Li Shizhen wiped his face. One was still the size of a ping-pong ball, but the other had shrunk quite a bit.
The shell was a bit hard and couldn't be opened for a while. Li Shizhen was a little impatient. He rushed out of the stone house and grabbed a stone. He smashed open two shells. One was light in color and light in weight. It shattered, and the other was heavy in color and heavy in weight, and had to be smashed hard to break apart.
The chestnut-like round pulp inside the light shell was shriveled. Li Shizheng broke it off and chewed it, and it was delicious and crispy; the other one seemed to be full of flesh, but it was still about the same size as the shriveled fruit. After chewing, it was astringent and watery. Much, like chewing wood residue.
Li Shizhen lowered his eyes and silently picked up the debris on the ground.
Obviously, the difference between ripe fruit and immature fruit is not only the yield, but also the oil content. The oil content affects the heat and drinking sensation provided by the fruit.
After such a long time, Li Shizhen once again felt a kind of helpless frustration.All along, he felt that with hard work, diligence and careful thinking, he could always find a solution.But this time, he felt a little powerless, and he didn't have time to make those preparations.
All of a sudden, great frustration and annoyance flooded the sky.
When Bai came back, he saw Li Shizhen sitting on the edge of the bed in a low mood, instead of flipping his leaf book as usual, but hanging his head in a daze?
"What's wrong?" He gently put his hand on Li Shizhen's shoulder, did Yang Apa say something to him?But with Yang Apa's character, it is absolutely impossible to say, could it be that the female in front of her is sensitive to something?
"I can't help it." After a while, Li Shizhen said in a low voice.
Bai was a little confused for a moment: "What can't be done?"
"I have no way to find new food, no way to plant and breed, and no way to pick more fir fruits." Li Shizhen said in a low voice with his head down.
Although he didn't fully understand Li Shizhen's words, Bai still understood what he meant and couldn't help laughing. The female in front of him seemed to be more like a female who had not gone through the ritual now.
Although I can't bear to see him frustrated, but I think he is so cute like this.Bai couldn't help but sit beside Li Shizhen, hugged him, stroked his hair lightly and said, "Fool, this is a matter for the whole clan. How can you work hard alone? There is nothing the whole clan can do." They're all trying to figure it out."
Li Shizhen buried his head on Bai's shoulder sullenly, and refused to make a sound.
Bai said slowly: "I've already told Eminem, and they all support us to do it. I'm going to let them go a little farther away when patrolling, and also check if there are any prey or other food."
"Amu and the others also told me that they will help train us for this year's picking, and try to pick more. In addition, I also told Amu about your method for those fresh vegetables. Let's dry them and see if we can save more , some of them were frozen in the snow peak before.”
"Although some of the fish in the lake are inedible, they died in previous years because people ate them by mistake, so Yangappa didn't let everyone move them. But this year's situation is special. Let's see if we can identify the inedible fish and try to save more. some fish."
"You see, we still have many, many other ways."
"Ah Chao, don't push yourself too hard, this is a matter for the whole clan, not you alone."
Li Shizhen calmed down slowly in his warm embrace, and began to reflect silently. What he said was right. It is obviously a matter for the whole family. Everyone is working hard. Why is he suddenly so eager? Calm and orderly.
And I seem to be on the edge of a dead end, picking so early in advance can't be done, how about a little later?As long as it is earlier than those small animals and birds, if it is not possible, there are other ways, such as scarecrows or something to intimidate those animals so that they cannot be picked. If it is not possible, they can be hunted. Although this is really cruel, but In a desperate situation, it is really life and death.Unless it is absolutely necessary, Li Shizhen will never come up with such an idea that hurts the harmony of nature.
Planting and breeding cannot feed so many people, but it can relieve a little pressure. In the long run, this is an inevitable process. It is also a good thing to start to explore experience now. He can explore and screen the species that Yang Apa mentioned. one time.
Bai and the others went out hunting without using the animal form. He and Bai could see if they could provide some weapons to the young hunters.
Bai also mentioned the lake, and Li Shizhen smiled wryly. He walked into some dead end to forget such a big lake.Some fish are poisonous, but everyone drinks the water, which is non-toxic.There are not only fish, shrimps and crabs in the water, even some aquatic plants are edible, so many things, how could he forget all about them when he was trying to find a solution!What is it that makes him so urgent and not calm?
Suddenly, he thought of Yang Apa's determined eyes, which contained too many ominous meanings.When he came to this valley, Li Shizhen regarded Yang Apa as his mentor. Putting into the symbolic system, Li Shizhen felt that this old man was like a gentleman, with a high mountain and a long river.Yang Apa really has the demeanor of an ancient sage.
He has been separated from so many relatives and friends, and he really doesn't want to say goodbye to this otherworldly teacher.It was also because of this intuition in his subconscious that he was so eager to find a solution, and he was so frustrated and annoyed when he had nothing to do.
He pushed Bai away and said, "Tell me, does Yang Apa have any bad plans?"
Bai was a little helpless about the ignorance of the people in front of him, but he recalled carefully: "I didn't find it, but," he pondered for a while, "I will pay attention."
Li Shizhen finally let go of one of his worries a little bit, it has never been his style to retreat when he is frustrated.Taking out the leaf book, I began to list a dozen or so plans about picking, planting, lakes, weapons, and keeping warm.
Although Bai felt a little regretful about that too-short hug, he felt unspeakably happy when he saw Li Shizhen who had regained his energy. It turned out that not only Ah Chao was sharing heavy responsibilities for him, but he could also share something for him. .No matter how long the snow season is, Bai always believes that everything will be fine.
