It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

Song Lai couldn't hold back his excitement and headed towards the huge platform together with the other two members of the tribe.As a result, they walked for more than a day to reach the foot of the platform. The mountain in front of them was more than ten meters high, and the slope was very steep. It was not easy for people to climb up, especially when the mountain was covered with snow.Song Lai only needs to let a member of the tribe climb up first, and then put down the grass rope to pull himself up. Fortunately, Song Lai is very light now, otherwise it would not be easy for him to go up.

Song Lai was pulled onto the platform, and found that the platform was bigger than he thought. There was a big forest on one side, and the tall trees were very dense.There was actually a big lake in the middle. Song Lai was surprised and quickly walked towards the middle lake. After walking for a long time, he reached the edge of the lake and put his hand into the lake. Fortunately, it was cold.If this is a hot spring, it will be much more like it. Don’t just escape from a volcano. If you build a camp on the fire, it will be a big death.The water of the lake is clear, and the shores are frozen. Presumably, the lake will be bigger than what I saw when the snow melts.

This is an ideal place to build a camp, surrounded by mountains on a higher terrain.There is even a freshwater lake.There are also large forests to the east.The two members of the tribe picked up some branches and lit them, told the chief that they could build a camp here, and then began to make snow nests, while Song Lai began to walk around the platform to see what was on the platform, and left from the lake. Walking to the edge of the platform, and then started walking around the edge, there was a large forest in front, looking dark, Song Lai did not dare to go in alone, so he continued to walk on the periphery of the forest. After walking for a long time, there were some trees behind the forest The bushes, and then the white snow, continued to circle around, until they bumped into a person's arms, looked up and saw An Ye, his chest was bulging, and there was a baby inside.

"You are here." "Well, what are you looking for?" "Nothing, just to see how it is." "How is it?" "Very good, this will be our camp from now on, the environment here is simply That's great. It's just too big." An Ye patted his head, "Let's go back to where Oss and the patriarch are looking for you."

Song Lai and An Ye returned to the camp, and briefly told the patriarch what he saw here, "It's very suitable for a camp. I just don't know if the water in the lake in the middle is drinkable. I just added fresh water myself. But I don’t know about the others. But now you don’t have to worry about using water, there’s snow everywhere and it’s water when it’s heated.”

A firepit was set up in the middle, and then dinner was started. During this time, everyone was afraid of being chased by the people from Vulcan Mountain, and they had to travel quite hard. Now they can finally relax and have a good meal and rest.The patriarch called Song Lai and An Ye to his snow nest, and then told Song Lai that the most severe winter is coming, and the continuous hurricane will blow for a long time. Although the mountains around this camp can block some Wind, but because of the National Taiwan University, there may still be strong winds coming, so he felt that the snow nest was strong enough to withstand it. Song Lai thought about it and told him that he could pour some water on the outside of the snow nest. Turn the temporary snow nest into an igloo, and then sit a screen wall at the door to block some wind from entering the house, and then put animal skins at the door of the house, so that the room can be maintained at around zero.

Song Lai's planning addiction broke out, and the leaders of the tribe planned for a while. Two days later, there were large and small igloos in the camp. Song Lai and An Ye built two ice houses similar to the previous camp. One of the rooms is for people, and the other is for storing things. Because of the migration, the two of them are basically empty, except for the clothes on their bodies, two clay pots, and some seasonings from Song Lai.

After the snow nest was built, Song Lai started tidying up the room, hey, there was not even a bed left.Remove the coir raincoat made of withered grass and spread the withered grass on the ground. Although the house has been covered with animal skins, the temperature is only around zero, and the baby is still in An Ye's arms. The baby is very upbeat all the way. , eat and sleep on time every day, there is no problem at all, but An Ye, who is holding him in pain, is attacked by feces.

After making the bed, Song Lai boiled some hot water in a ceramic pot outside, fed the baby lotus root powder, and then took the remaining hot water for An Ye to wipe himself, until he lay in An Ye's arms and held the baby.Song Lai felt finally at peace.

The next day, Song Lai found Sal and told him that it is best to cut down the trees now, and basically build a house after the summer tomorrow.I was talking about how many months it would take to cut down enough trees to build houses for all the people in the tribe with the current productivity. Although it is freezing outside and the wind is still blowing, there are still sunny days, so Thrall asked Xunfeng Start making stone axes and ask everyone to prepare to cut down trees.Fortunately, the place where the tree grows is not far away, and I can come back in time when there is a strong wind.

Song Lai went to the forest every day to pick up some branches. The small ones were used for fire, and the big ones were taken back to the snow nest and placed under his bed. In a few days, he made a bed made of branches. No matter what, it was better than directly on the ground. Sleep better.

The people of the tribe finally went to cut down the trees with a stone axe. Song Lai led the women to remove the branches from the trees felled by the men, and then rolled the wood aside and put them away. The cut branches were taken to the fire for cooking. The place is ready, waiting to be used while cooking.Due to the shortage of food now, all the people in the tribe eat together, only one meal a day. Later, the men cut down trees and began to eat two meals a day.

The people in the tribe were cutting down the trees at a rate of one per day, which really made Song Lai very entangled. More than 20 strong laborers can cut down a tree with a diameter of [-] centimeters every day.But looking at the tools they used, he could only shake his head helplessly.After a windy day, the patriarch found Song Lai and said that there was not enough food, and the existing food was only enough for three or four days.

Song Lai asked the patriarch that the temperature will drop in the rest of the time, but there is no strong wind.Song Lai immediately thought of the sea with abundant food, but it was six or seven days away from the sea.And not all of them are suitable for trekking.The people of the tribe have just settled down and it is really not suitable for long-distance travel, and there are not enough animal skins. Although the wind was strong before, the temperature was not very low. Everyone wore animal skins wrapped in straw and walked in the wind and snow with frostbite. Now the temperature It fell even further, and the animal skins of the clansmen were used to block the door of the snow nest, spread on the bed, basically there was no extra to wrap people up and let people run outside.It is said that even if some people rush to the beach day and night, the food on the beach is not readily available, and even if they are obtained, how to get them back is a big problem.

Song Lai was suddenly overwhelmed by numerous questions, it seemed that the road to the seaside was not feasible for the time being.You can only look for food nearby.But looking at the whiteness all around, where to find food, everything is covered by heavy snow.Song Lai frowned, thinking of possible solutions, but this winter's food really embarrassed Song Lai.By the way, isn't there a forest on the platform, first go and see if there is anything to eat in the forest.Song Lai called An Ye and Rich to explore the woods together, but when Song Lai walked into the woods, he found that there was not even a mouse in the woods, only trees and bushes.

I walked all the way to the edge of the platform, at the end of the woods, but I didn't find anything to eat.Song Lai was very frustrated. "Song Lai, what's that bright thing in the distance?" Rich looked at the distance and pointed it to Song Lai. Song Lai casually looked up, eh~ reflection, could it be a lake?Song Lai jumped up all of a sudden, then ran back to the camp, asked the patriarch to assign a few people to him, got off the platform and ran to the reflective place.

There is indeed a large lake there, not smaller than the lotus lake, and now it is completely frozen by the wind and snow. It was probably covered by snow before, but I didn't pay attention to it, so I didn't find such a large lake nearby. What a surprise, Song Lai leaned on the lake and swept off the snow, and could vaguely see the fish below the lake! !

They asked people to go back to get the stone axes they used to chop trees, and the wicker baskets to hold the fish. Song Lai and An Ye took the stones and started to smash the ice, and along the small cracks they smashed, they saw the fish that had been stuffy in the water for an unknown amount of time. They gathered under them, and when the stone ax was brought, they swung it round with great force and smashed it on the ice, making a big hole. As a result, all the fish that had been stuffy for a long time jumped out. The fish on the surface do not need to be fished, and the fish jump out of the water by themselves, which amazes the primitive people.

Song Lai watched them yelling and picking up fish, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He didn't have to worry about the food problem in winter for the time being.Song Lai carefully walked on the ice, carefully looked at the snow-covered plants by the lake, and rummaged to see if he could find anything to eat.When the people of the tribe were carrying two big baskets of fish and were about to go back, Song Lai harvested two frozen hard bamboo shoots.

The patriarch saw that Song Lai really brought the food back with his mouth wide open, and then he was shocked when he learned that the food came so easily.After carefully looking at Song Lai, he took his men to pack the fish for cooking.Because the weather is getting colder every day.The logging activities were forced to stop. The tribe built a huge snow nest, and many people crowded together to keep warm. Song Lai, a chicken thief, occupied the middle position, and then hugged the chubby baby wrapped in animal skin. .The women in the tribe thought it was unbelievable that Song Lai had kept the baby with him all the time, and that the baby was still healthy. Someone would always come to Song Lai's side, lift the baby's hide, and see if the baby was still alive. No, this is simply unbearable for Song Lai.

I have repeatedly emphasized with Oss that although the baby is very healthy, the temperature in the snow nest has not yet reached zero, and the baby will easily get sick if the baby's animal skin is always lifted.Oss actually asked Song Lai if all children need to take care of babies like Song Lai to keep their temperature.If the temperature cannot be maintained, the child will die.Looking at Oss with a sad look on his face.Song Lai simply didn't know what to say, these primitive people really lacked common sense on how to raise children.

It was only then that Song Lai realized that many of the common sense he thought were accumulated by people from generation to generation. These common senses may have been discovered after thousands of years, and the price of discovery may be life.
