新石器时代

The actor walked past Ji Huaifeng without looking sideways.Ji Huaifeng froze there, pretending not to see him.Unexpectedly, just as the actor was about to walk over, he heard the actor say, "Don't think that you'll be fine if you leave town. I don't believe you can stay outside for five days without eating, drinking, or sleeping."

Ji Huaifeng looked up to the sky and sighed, the actor is the actor, he can see everything clearly.

But listening doesn't necessarily mean agreeing.

"I want to stay, and naturally I have my way."

The film king smiled gracefully: "What you mean is to hide outside the town during the day and hide in Gu Xiaolu's house at night so that no one will be seen? Hehe, it's very similar to some amphibians with hard shells."

Ji Huaifeng almost blurted out - Who are you calling a turtle? !

But he held back.He saw Gu Xiaolu coming out of the town with a knife in his hand, so he held back his words.

The actor also changed his face the moment he saw Gu Xiaolu.

"Morning actor. Haven't you dug up enough herbs? Oh, look, a vine is broken in your basket. You should replace it with a new one as soon as possible, so that you don't know what's in the basket one day."

Ji Huaifeng couldn't help but sigh——as a workshop owner and salesperson, Gu Xiaolu is actually quite competent.

The movie king didn't object.In fact, the broken vine on his basket is on the side, so it doesn't affect its use at all.

The actor said: "But I don't have any other meat now, so I can only give you yesterday's wild boar meat. A basket is five catties of meat, right?"

Gu Xiaolu nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice, and put on a smiling face again: "It's easy for the actor to go, be careful on the road!"

The actor nodded and left, leaving a handsome figure behind him.

Ji Huaifeng finally saw something.

If you want to give Gu Xiaolu something, don't give it to him for nothing, you have to exchange it with him, so that he can accept it with peace of mind.

Ji Huaifeng took the hatchet from Gu Xiaolu's hand and turned to chop wood.

He specializes in picking up trees as thick as bowls and chopping them down.By the time it was daylight, he had cut down seven or eight trees.The twigs and leaves were cut off, leaving only the bare trunk and thick branches.The trunk and thick branches were then cut into about one meter long and neatly stacked together.Gu Xiaolu wondered: "It's all going to be burned anyway, so why cut it so clean?"

Ji Huaifeng continued to cut the twigs: "Don't worry about it, take back these twigs and leaves first, and keep them for fire after drying."

Gu Xiaolu yawned, "Okay."

It took Gu Xiaolu three times to move all the twigs and leaves, and when he came out again, Ji Huaifeng had already piled up the thick branches that had been cut.Seeing Gu Xiaolu come out, he handed him the hatchet in his hand: "Return the knife, and borrow the shovel."

Gu Xiaolu was puzzled: "Cut firewood as long as you chop wood, what do you do with a shovel?"

Ji Huaifeng ignored him, "Well, by the way, bring me some fire."

Gu Xiaolu understood. "Okay, I'll bring some more meat out, and we'll grill it."

Ji Huaifeng: "Who said it's time for a barbecue? Let's burn some charcoal and save it for winter."

Gu Xiaolu: "Aren't firewood and charcoal the same?"

Ji Huaifeng tried his best to make his tone sound obscene and greedy: "Charcoal is easy to light and lighter than firewood. After we burn it, we can sell it to those who travel long distances, hahaha"

He just said "haha" twice, and Gu Xiaolu disappeared in a flash.

When Ji Huaifeng talked about burning charcoal, Gu Xiaolu actually didn't know how the charcoal was made. He thought that the so-called burning charcoal was just lighting a pile of fire to burn the wood.

After Gu Xiaolu explained his understanding of "burning charcoal", he was seriously despised by Ji Huaifeng.

Gu Xiaolu touched his head: "Isn't it? Oh, I know that burning charcoal has another meaning, which is to commit suicide by burning charcoal in the house."

Ji Huaifeng: ""

He firmly believes that with Gu Xiaolu's IQ, it is absolutely impossible to understand such a complicated process of burning charcoal.Instead of explaining for a long time, it is better to demonstrate it yourself.

For some other problems, it is probably better to use this method to solve

Ji Huaifeng first dug a rectangular hole about one foot deep in the ground. The width of the hole was just enough to put the wooden sticks he cut just now.Ji Huaifeng built two wooden sticks with shorter tips on both sides of the pit as supports, and then piled the rest of the sticks on top of each other to form a small wooden mountain.When this was done, I put some dry grass and thin branches under the pit under the log; found some broad leaves to cover the hill made by the pile of sticks; earth.

So they had a small dirt bag like a tomb in front of them.

Gu Xiaolu sneered: "There used to be a woman who liked to bury flowers, grass, and the like. You bury wood, which is a good match for her."

Ji Huaifeng rolled his eyes at him: "That woman's name is Lin Daiyu, she just buried it casually, I not only buried it, but also burned it—"

Gu Xiaolu was very surprised: "Wow, wow, you even remember her name! Hey, you really like her, don't you?"

Ji Huaifeng thought helplessly: I not only remember Lin Daiyu, I also remember Sister Furong and Sister Feng.

After the soil on the pile of firewood was buried, because a ditch had been dug beside the previous pit, the dry grass under the firewood piled up could still be seen outside.Ji Huaifeng put a little kindling that Gu Xiaolu brought out into the haystack, and carefully blew it into it.Soon after, a thick white smoke rose from below, and the fire caught up.

After the dry grass was ignited, Ji Huaifeng stuffed some dry twigs underneath.The fire inside was burning hotter and hotter, gradually burning the freshly cut raw wood, and thin smoke came out from the gaps in the mound.Ji Huaifeng snapped his fingers: "Okay, I'll seal up the hole later, and we'll wait to collect the charcoal tomorrow!"

Gu Xiaolu was dubious, he really didn't understand how the wood could be burned into charcoal when it was burned under the soil.But looking at Ji Huaifeng's confident look, he's convinced.

"Alright, we happen to sell the charcoal in rattan baskets, so we say that we can buy charcoal and send it to the basket. If the price of the single basket is higher, they will definitely be more willing to buy both together!"

Ji Huaifeng thought, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change

By this time the sky had gradually warmed up.The dew on the vines has dried up long ago.Ji Huaifeng watched Gu Xiaolu struggle to tear the vines off the tree one by one, and originally wanted to say that you just stop doing it and let me do it.Suddenly, he remembered what Gu Xiaolu had said, and he didn't say a word again, only pulling harder, trying to tear off enough vines in the shortest time.

Unexpectedly, after he chattered like this for a while, Gu Xiaolu suddenly said: "Slow down, there are only so many vines growing in this place every year, if you tear one down, one will be lost."

Ji Huaifeng slowed down discouragedly.Gu Xiaolu actually learned sustainable development?

The two chattered for a long time, and finally pulled down a bunch of vines from the boss.Gu Xiaolu picked them out one by one, picked off the leaves on them, and then rolled each vine into a small circle, tied it up and threw it into the rattan basket he brought.Ji Huaifeng painted gourds according to the sample, and asked, "Do you want to take it home and weave it?"

Gu Xiaolu shook his head: "The vines that have just been picked can't be used right away—this kind of vines are very brittle when they are young, and they are easy to break. They must be boiled in water before they can be used to weave things."

"Oh"

"By the way," Gu Xiaolu held up a bud that he picked from the vine: "Put these buds and leaves away, and we'll make soup to drink at night." Ji Huaifeng put a bud in his mouth and chewed it , and immediately spit it out: "Bitter"

Gu Xiaolu spread a few large leaves on the ground, gathered the young shoots on them, and smiled slyly: "It won't be bitter after cooking. If you only eat meat all day long, you will get constipated."

Ji Huaifeng: "Oh."

"There are things like sweet potatoes under the vine, which are edible. But it grows very deep, so it's not easy to dig."

Ji Huaifeng relished the smell of that leaf, and thought it was better to forget it.Now it's not that they can't hunt wild beasts, so why bother to dig something that is bitter and not nutritious.

Picking leaves and tidying vines may seem simple, but it actually takes more time.They chatted without saying a word until it was almost dark before they rolled up all the vines and put them in the baskets.During the period, Ji Huaifeng ran back to look at their charcoal pit every once in a while, and decided whether to open or block the vents according to the size of the smoke from the cracks in the pit.At dusk, the smoke on the soil was still coming out, Ji Huaifeng sighed: "It seems that it will not be completely burned until tomorrow."

Gu Xiaolu squatted beside the mound, refusing to move.

"Tell me, will someone come and steal it in the middle of the night?"

Ji Huaifeng Khan: "No one would be so bored to steal this?"

Gu Xiaolu: "Why are you bored? You can exchange for meat! I want to stay here and guard."

Ji Huaifeng began to regret it.

"It's okay, even if it's stolen, we'll burn it again. You see, there are so many trees on the mountain, how many trees do we have to cut down for one kiln of charcoal?"

Gu Xiaolu squatted on the ground and drew circles: "But here you can exchange a lot of meat, if you don't have it, you won't have it."

Ji Huaifeng deeply felt that he should dig the charcoal pit into the town.

But it is too late now.Gu Xiaolu's foot seemed to have a suction cup, no matter how he moved it, he couldn't move it.

"But even if no one comes to steal it, if it burns out overnight, won't we just collect a pile of ashes when we come tomorrow?"

Ji Huaifeng really wanted to shout: Isn't it just a kiln of charcoal!Is it worth living and dying like this?At worst, I will burn it for you tomorrow!

But he couldn't yell.He said kindly, "I blocked the vent, leaving only a little bit, so that the burning will be slower."

Gu Xiaolu: "But I'm still worried"

"Hey, what are you cooking?" the actor's voice came in unhurriedly, "Beggar's chicken? Why is there such a big one?"

Gu Xiaolu continued to draw circles: "We are burning charcoal, and charcoal can be exchanged for a lot of meat."

Just as the film king was about to speak, Ji Huaifeng flew over and whispered in his ear.The actor nodded and said, "By the way, Gu Xiaolu, when I came out today, I saw smoke coming out of your house. Is your firepit not looking good?"

Before the film king finished speaking, Gu Xiaolu disappeared in a flash.

Ji Huaifeng gave the actor a thumbs up sincerely.The film king snorted: "If you have the guts, just stay here and watch all night."

Ji Huaifeng also snorted: "I won't make fun of my own life casually." As he said that, he glanced at the actor provocatively, "Because I want to keep it to protect Xiao Lu."

The actor's face was full of disgust, "You still have the guts to say such things, I really want to find a ruler to measure how thick your skin is?"

Ji Huaifeng gave him a very thick-skinned smile: "It's not thick-skinned, it's because you know your mistakes and you can correct them."

If he didn't say anything, he would be furious when he mentioned the film king: "Wrong?! You also know that you are wrong? Okay, why didn't you tell him everything you did back then? You lied to him like this, how can you be wrong?" Changed appearance? I know you dare not—you have to say it, let alone whether he will take you in, maybe he will kill you with a knife!"

Ji Huaifeng bit the bullet and said: "Oh, since you know it all, why didn't you say it? I didn't gag you! Go tell him, go! Hmph, don't say you dare!"

The film king said righteously: "I'm not like you. I'd rather he never remember anything, so that he can have a better life!"

Ji Huaifeng suddenly laughed "poof".He walked over and patted the actor on the shoulder: "Brother, isn't that right? Look, don't we all think the same? Now we really have nothing but one life. Remember those things we had in the past. What's the point of not having one?"

The actor squinted, looked at Ji Huaifeng like he was looking at a caterpillar, and then resolutely tore off his hand.

Ji Huaifeng took another shot, as if he wanted to please: "Although I don't know who you are from Xiaolu, I can tell that you are really good to him. Look, since we are on the same road, We all want to be good for him, so the past is over, let's not mention it again——from now on, we will live a good life wholeheartedly, okay?"

His hand was resolutely ripped off by the actor again.

"No one here is with you. No one wants to live a good life with you. I repeat for the last time, you are not welcome in this place, get out."

Attempts to communicate again failed.Ji Huaifeng sighed, turned around and strode towards the town.

"Whether I should go or not, I have to wait for the mayor to decide."

The actor gritted his teeth and followed in, saying, "You don't need to wait for the mayor to blow you away. I don't think it will take long for Xiaolu to blow you away first."

Ji Huaifeng thought of what Gu Xiaolu had said, and his heart shuddered.

It was still dark at this time, and some people were still walking on the street.The mayor had already announced that Ji Huaifeng had begun to accept the assessment for entering the town, and they looked at Ji Huaifeng with obviously more malicious intentions.

Every step Ji Huaifeng took, there were more than a dozen pairs of sharp eyes staring at him.

Ji Huaifeng secretly complained.He figured he should at least stay out of town until dark before coming in.

While keeping himself as calm as possible, he desperately recalled the densely packed town rules on the wall of the mayor's house in his mind, and when thinking of them, he coordinated his body movements in the shortest possible time to avoid violating them.

"The land within three meters of each legal resident's self-built house is owned by the homeowner, and the homeowner has the right to declare illegal any other person's activities on his land."

Ji Huaifeng walked sideways on the narrow street, stepping on the center line as much as possible, so as not to accidentally step on other people's "territory".

"Every legal resident has the right to grow crops on the territory, and the growth of crops is protected by town regulations."

Ji Huaifeng carefully jumped over every grass that might be stepped on by him.Because now everyone has the potential to claim that these random weeds are actually their "crop".

Gu Xiaolu's house is actually not far from the town's entrance, but his journey is like trekking thousands of rivers and mountains.

While walking cautiously, he was still thinking about it: what the actor said just now was to deceive Gu Xiaolu.According to Gu Xiaolu's personality, the first thing he would do when he found out that he had been cheated was of course to rush back and find someone to settle the score.Now that he has been back for so long, why is there still no shadow?

Before he had time to think about the possibility, everything he saw answered his questions first.
