prehistoric modern man

Ji Chi's face and body were covered with mud, he was very embarrassed, he just glanced at the imam and passed him, taking a net bag on the way to the rattan house.

It was getting late, and Yu Wu had already returned, and was squatting under a tree to make a fire, with a piece of meat from an unknown animal beside him.

As soon as Ji Chi walked over and put down the net bag, Yu Yu jumped up and stood a few steps away from him, looking at him suspiciously.

He blinked, and leaned over again after seeing Qing Ji Chi's appearance, smelled his body up and down, then looked at him with wide eyes, a worried look flashed across his face.

Judging by his reaction, probably Yu Wu also knew about the swamp.

Ji Chi didn't delay any longer, and walked towards the river while taking off his clothes.

Yu Yu left behind the unburned fire and followed behind him.Ji Chi glanced at him, went to put out the fire before walking towards the river.

The river was deserted.

Ji Chi took off his clothes and went into the water, washed off the dirt on his body, swam twice and then came back to stop on the shore.

Yu Yu was squatting by the side and watching, but he suddenly jumped in after thinking of something, splashed water on his body casually, and then moved to Ji Chi's side, raised his hand and put it on his body to scrub twice, and then Looking at him brightly.

Ji Chi understood what he meant, but that was impossible. He was not good at bathing people.

Withdrawing his hand, Ji Chi shook off the water flowing from his hair into his eyes, and landed silently on the shore.He picked up the clothes next to him and put them in the river to wash them, and at the same time glanced at Yu Wu, who was turning around to stare at himself, with doubts and a trace of injury on his face.

Ji Chi lowered his eyelids and concentrated on scrubbing.

Yu Wu waited for a while, and saw that Ji Chi had finished washing his clothes before he went ashore after scrubbing them twice casually.

After returning, Ji Chi packed up the gray whale and put it on the fire before going up to collect the dried grass leaves on the roof and the meat in the wooden frame.

The snakeskin bag and snakeskin long sleeves hanging on the branches had also been finalized, and Ji Chi put them together with the fur of the red-haired rabbit into the rattan house.

When he went down, the meat on the fire was almost roasted, exuding a unique meaty aroma.

Yu Yu squatted beside him with a look of can't wait.

Grilling the meat of gray whales is not as time-consuming as the meat of other animals, and the meat is tender and soft, with little oil but not greasy.

This was Ji Chi's most satisfying meal.

It was already dark when they finished eating, so they simply slept in the rattan house.

Silent all night.

The next day, Yu Wu went out to hunt, and Ji Chi started to get busy.

Unknowingly, he repeated the same life every day, hunting, fishing, and drying meat, constantly switching back and forth.

Besides Yu Wu, Ji Chi also gradually began to get in touch with people from other clans.

Since the two women learned to fish last time, the rest of the Yuqu tribe gradually began to go into the water. Except for picking wild fruits to make grass skirts, they would gather by the river for the rest of the time.Every time Ji Chi could see a group of women working in the river, because of this, their attitude towards Ji Chi became a little gentler.

During the contact, Ji Chi will observe their words and deeds consciously or unconsciously, and occasionally strike up a conversation. Although the two sides are in a situation where the bull's head is not right, it is still a way to learn their language.

In addition, Yu Yu said more and more words in front of him. Although Ji Chi couldn't speak, he could occasionally understand a sentence or two through some scattered words that he memorized.

It is only a matter of time before he learns the language here if he stays here forever.

Apart from speaking, what he has to do now is to save as much food as possible to prepare for winter.

He can feel that summer is coming soon from the changes in the surrounding environment, especially those nuts, the shells are getting harder and harder, and some are still cracking naturally, exposing the mature kernels inside.

Ji Chi will pick more of these non-toxic nuts and bring them back to the rattan house when he has time, and put them together with other nuts in a nut bag made of vines.

In addition, the salt he collected was enough for a whole winter.

But the most anti-hunger, the most important thing is the meat of those animals.

Ji Chi has already dug more than two trap holes. He usually digs a hole to camouflage in places where there are few people walking around.In addition to the red-haired rabbit, other small animals will occasionally be caught.

These are of course not enough. After Yu Yu went out, Ji Chi would often go hunting with a bow and arrow. At first, he was within a few hundred meters of the rattan house, and later expanded to a larger area, because there were relatively few prey near the place of residence, and there were generally not enough prey. will appear easily.

On the way, he also met those hunting men from the Yuqu clan. They all came out together, and Ji Chi felt that this way they would not be so easy to die under the attack of wild beasts.

It's just that when he saw Yu Yu dealing with a wild beast by himself, he had an indescribable feeling for a moment.

After that, he would go hunting with Yu Yu almost every day. Of course, when the two of them were together, they would hunt more animals.

After returning, Yu Wu will pick one of their prey and send it to the tribe, and then return with a leg or a piece of meat from any random part.

Perhaps because people here don't have the habit of storing food, Yu Wu never understood what he did.Every time he puts the dried meat into the net bag, Yu Wu will be wriggling beside him.But as long as it is put into the bag, Yu Wu will not move again.

As the number of net bags used for meat in Jichi increased, the surrounding environment also changed. For example, the air became drier, the leaves gradually turned yellow, and wild fruits began to fall.

Ji Chi knew that autumn had arrived.

This change seemed to make the animals in the forest start to get busy, because he noticed that the poria cocos was gradually decreasing, and after observing, he found that it was the red-haired rabbit carrying it to his cave.

To avoid being emptied by them, Ji Chi also began to move Poria to the Fujiya.Yu Yu was particularly keen on digging Poria cocos, and Ji Chi was only responsible for moving it back.

With the increase of stored food, Ji Chi's anxiety when thinking about winter is gradually disappearing.

He no longer remembers that this is the first few days he has been here, because he has not been counting the days day by day.

From the first day to now, he seems to be getting used to this forest more and more day by day.No one here prepared for winter earlier than him, and no one was busier than him, as if he was the one who originally lived here.

If there were any changes in Yu Yu's clan during the transitional period before the arrival of winter, Ji Chi saw the anxiety on each of their faces, especially when autumn was coming to an end, they even started to panic.

Ji Chi tried to remind him when he could stumble and speak their language, but they were all like Yu Yu, they just wanted to eat all the meat they hunted, the more the better.

That's right, the prey brought back by the men is enough for a tribe to eat. How could there be extra prey for them to save, not to mention that as winter is getting closer, the animals in the forest are gradually decreasing.

In addition to the reduction of various forest animals busy in the winter, there are also wild fruits and nuts on the trees, which continue to fall from the trees and disappear.At the same time, the climate in the forest has also changed significantly.

When Ji Chi realized that autumn was coming to an end, the surroundings seemed to start to be violently windy, and within a few days, the first snow of winter, sleet, came.

Winter is finally here.
